[Bloody Romance]

Let's go.

Where are the guards?

You go report this. I'll go in and take a look. Yes, sir.

You don't have to save me.

I don't have time to deal with your depression.

This is my mission. You can be defeated, but I can't.

Hey beautiful, did you come to break out prisoners? Take us too.

Get lost. Be careful. Their doors aren't locked.

Grand Tutor Yue is very clever. He foresaw that someone would try to break in.

You with your skinny arms and legs, how can you defeat us?

How about surrendering, let us capture and bring you two to exchange for the antidote

In my eyes, dead people don't need an antidote.

Everyone keep your guard up!

Miss Yue Ying, listen to the sounds.

We're surrounded.

You won't be able to take me out of here.

Whether we can get out of here or not is for me is my business. If you really are concerned about me, then say no more.

Stop! They are our people.

Save me! Save me! Help me!

Sir, should we put out the fire?

The prison breakers are still inside. Keep waiting.

The prison breakers have already escaped! Hurry and save us!

Sir, why don't we go in and look. If the prison breakers have already fled

the other prisoners will all be burned to death. The Grand Tutor will definitely blame us.

- Take a squad of swordsman inside. Archers!- Here!

- Keep watch outside!- You guys come in with me!- Yes sir!

Let's put out the fire! Yes, sir!

Save us! Get water!

Let's go. Hurry!

Hurry! Help me!

Get these bodies out of here!

I had you be even more on guard.

You're telling me

she's been taken away?

Sir, please punish me.

How many were there?

Only one, a girl.

And how many people did you send? How many died?

There were 48 imperial bodyguards and archers.

There were also guards and jailers. There were only 8 who escaped.

What about the two death row convicts that were arranged?

They're also dead.

You good-for-nothing!

Master, this is definitely Prince Ning's doing.

And the proof? The proof? Is it just because she's a woman that my subordinate is incompetent?

It's me that's incapable.

The assassin originally

went to Zhaixing Tower. I'm worried

They will always be targeting Madam Ruan.

What Master said is right. I'll send people to protect Madam Ruan.

It's no good. I don't want to play anymore.

When you're losing, then it's no fun anymore?

Who let you touch my accessory box!?

Spare me!

Shouldn't you hurry and tell City Master what just happened?

Just now your slave saw some dust on your accessory box. I just wanted to wipe it off.

I didn't intentionally move it. I beg the City Master to spare your slave's live.

City Master's in a good mood today.

She'll spare you. Get lost now.

Thank you.

Who said I was in a good mood today?

If you were in a bad mood, he would have died right away.

I just didn't want his blood all over my accessory box.

It's getting late.

Let me comb your hair, and you can go to bed soon.

Tell me the story,

the story about this accessory box.

You have to listen to it?

Yes

Around ten years ago, there was a little miss

whose both parents died because ever since she was little

she was arranged to marry someone from a known family called Xie.

Her aunt and uncle were both looking forward to her marrying into a rich family

Like a chicken ascending into a heavenly world. So they treated her really well.

One day, the uncle told her that he would take her to visit the Xie family.

The little miss was really happy. She spent a lot of time choosing

and decided to bring a gold weaved wooden dressing box.

The lotus flower on the box was hand craved by the little miss.

She followed her uncle to the Xie family home,

and gave the dressing box to the Main lady of the Xie Family.

But who would have thought, that the young master Xie Ting Yun

already had someone he liked in mind. So he was disrespectful to her.

And both Xie Master and main lady of the family told her that her eyebrows

are both sharp and upwards, destined to kill people

They requested to break the marriage arrangement. When they got home,

the aunt and uncle said the little miss lost her value.

They started to treat her badly and spoke badly of her. Using violence on her.

That day, I drank the water that my aunt gave me.

I lost my senses.

When I woke up, I realized that I was already put inside a coffin.

And right next to me was a dead body.

They arranged a ghost marriage!

I was scared to death. I crazily tried to move the cover of the coffin,

my whole hand was covered in blood.

It was getting difficult for me to breath and my vision was getting blurry.

Suddenly the coffin was opened,

a really beautiful woman appeared in front of me.

That woman took out a vase

and said that her name was Lan He, the master of Gui Hua City.

And inside the vase,

was a parasite that can help you gain power.

To train martial arts and then take revenge.

I trusted her and grew the parasite,

entered Gu Hua City and killed my uncle's entire family.

Then,

I used my mission as an excuse and killed off the Xie Family.

I found my dressing box.

This dressing box wasn't just something my mother's relic,

it is also evidence of the shame the Xie Family gave me.

I want to never forget it.

Never forget it!

It's late. You should sleep.

Kiss me. Just once.

I haven't been able to have sex for a long time.

If you're like this, it makes it more difficult for me.

My relatives betrayed me.

It was Liang He who saved me.

He pulled me from the gates of hell.

I thought I would be grateful to her for life.

But she was just using me.

She incited me to fight with Cha Wu. Both sides suffered.

What follow one's heart's desires?

What doing whatever I please?

It's all lies!

Enough. It's all in the past.

It's not over!

That blind son of Lan He

is still here! He's always bossing me around!

He's also managing that Wan Mei.

Right under my eyes. I get annoyed just seeing it!

Wan Mei will soon lose her life. She won't be able to bother you anymore.

Of course,

if Yue Qingya lets her off I will chase her down and kill her in the end.

Wan Mei has been captured, and surprisingly there's no news of Chang An.

Men, they are not dependable.

What if he comes back?

Both masters failed at the same time, of course they have to die.

But I should think about

just before he dies,

how I should torment him.

Where is that wordless Imperial Decree now?

Your highness, do you remember?

Before my father died, he handed you the Broken Soul Sword

If you are there, the sword is there.

Kill Cha Luo and take back her dressing box.

I remember.

The Imperial wordless decree is in Cha Luo's dressing box.

Who is it? It's me.

What is it?

The Grand Tutor's subordinate Mo Fei is here.

What does he have to say?

He said the assassin that tried to kill you was taken away by someone.

-He was afraid for your safety so he sent some high martial artists to protect you.

Okay, I got it.

Go down and take care of them first, I will come soon.

Okay.

Your Highness, you can stop worrying.

You and Yue Qing Ya.

Your Highness, please don't ask.

I can tell whether it is serious or not.

I was too nosy.

Your Highness, I'm going to check on Grand Tutor's men.

Please, you must wait for me. Under no circumstance should you act on impulse.

Alright.

Madam Ruan

How's Grand Tutor?

Grand Tutor has always been well. He's just worried about your safety.

There's nothing major going on here.

The assassin won't attack any time soon.

I appreciate Grand Tutor's good intentions.

The day's still long.

Even though that gang failed, we won't allow others to threaten you.

Madam Ruan, you can be relieved. These men were hand picked by me.

I know my limit.

Since this is the case, I must thank Grand Tutor.

This is my room. You all can stay out here to stand guard.

Yes, ma'am.

If Wan Mei returns to Guihua City everything still looks bad. I'll go back first to look around.

The wordless decree is probably hidden in Chuixing Tower.

I'll look for an opportunity to retrieve it. There's no need to worry.

I know you don't want to live. I don't want to save you either.

But I have to follow Gong Zi's orders.

No matter what,

I still have to thank you.

But compared to going back to Guihua City,

I'd rather die.

This is . .

This is Sui Jin Xiang's antidote.

It can cure the poison in the cut on your face.

Gong Zi asked me to bring it.

Sui Jin Xiang is produced in Xi Pan.

When it encounters blood it rots your flesh and bones.

You . . .

Gong Zi, I'm disobeying you.

I'm saving Wan Mei only so I can bring back Nine Lives.

Gong Zi ordered me to save you

and bring you back to Guihua City alive. But if you yourself don't want to return,

and you're willing to die, then I'll grant your wish.

This is a poison which is made by me. You will die immediately upon consuming it. You will not feel any pain.

You kept saying you wanted to die.

And now that I've given you the chance, you won't take it.

You've failed in your mission. Even if you returned to Guihua City, death may well be waiting for you.

If you die here, it may well save you from being tortured when you get back.

I'll give you half an hour. In half an hour, I'll come and retrieve your corpse.

I promise you that you'll be buried with full honour.

With you around, I'm not afraid.

♫ The zither music evokes feelings of desolation and cheerlessness. ♫

♫ Of a lifetime, the moon is always high, the dew is always heavy. ♫

I will not let you die. Whatever promises I made, I will keep them.

Please believe me.♫ Alone, I foolishly sit among the blue ocean waters ♫

♫ Who worsens the ache in my heart? ♫

No, I must keep this life.

I want to let those who failed me

pay the price for it.

I've come to my senses.

I want to live.

Because I am not resigned to just die like this.

Only if I live

will I have hope.

Fine, then I'll give you one more chance.

Gong Zi has just assigned a new mission to me. We're now lacking a guiding herb.

In your current situation, you're ideal to give me a helping hand.

Go to sleep.

When you wake up, you'll know what you need to do.

Those behind, catch up.

- Catch up.- Hurry up. Hurry and catch up.

Let me tell you this. We'll find a buyer for you when we reach Ling City.

Whether you will have a good life thereafter depends on your individual good luck.

Hurry.

Hurry it up.

Are you okay? - Get up.

Get up!

From where did you find this one? Not only is she disfigured,

she's mute and lame too. How would we be able to sell her?

Get up. Time to eat.

Pick it up if you still want to eat.

I say, Luo San. This thing that you got, how are we going to get rid of her later?

Don't you tell me that you got her just for beating up along the way for fun.

Am I that idle? What are you talking about?

Someone paid a king's ransom for her to be sold in Ling City.

Although she's disfigured in her face, her body looks quite good.

Perhaps someone who's rich but blind will buy her.

You're having wishful thoughts.

[Ling City]

Catch up. Don't be slack.

Hurry it up.

Hey, Young Master Xiao, Young Master Xiao. Our new products are here.

All of you, catch up.

Let's go. Hurry up.

Here, have a look. Here.

Here, here. Have a look.

Young Masters, here, here.

Come to the front.

Come to the front. Here.

To the front. To the front.

Go back and wash up and dress up. Definitely a great beauty.

Good for companionship, good for doing hard work, whatever.

The highest bidder gets it, the highest bidder gets it.

Have a look. Have a look.

- I bid ten coins. - I bid five coins.

Everything is okay. Everything is okay.

Are you going to get up or not?

It's nothing.

Nothing? She's panting.

Don't bother about her. The business is more important.

Hey. Here. Here. Look.

She's a beauty.

Aiyo, Miss. Did I hit you.

- Is it done yet? - Take a look.

The colour of your rouge is really beautiful. You have good taste.

Stop fidgeting. It'll be done soon.

You're Chang An?

Yes, I am.

Chang An, Chan An.

You're really blessed by this name. Both your Masters have met with bad ends.

And you're safe and sound.

Chang An is guilty. City Master may punish me.

But I'm curious about this.

Since you've already got away, why did you come back here again?

Chang An has no family. Other than Guihua City, there's no place for me to go.

You're not afraid of me sentencing you to death?

Master Mei, dead or alive,

I returned here to wait for some news.

Are you here to tell me that your master hasn't died yet?

So according to the rules, I can't put you to death.

I wouldn't dare.

He's loyal enough.

Based on this trait, among the Shadows in Guihua City,

There aren't too many.

You.. are still thinking of him.

If you like, I'll let him live

and give him to you.

Do not disfigure his looks.

Chamber Master, did you hear that? Don't disfigure his looks.

Here, try this.

Miss, you've awakened.

I made this for you.

What's your name?

Are you a mute?

Oh yes. The porridge on the stove is ready. Just wait a moment.

You must be starved.

The mushroom in this rice porridge is from the hills behind.

It's really nutritious.

Here, have some.

How are you?

Are you okay? Have some more.

I can see that you have so many wounds on your legs and body.

Rest a bit first.

The day after tomorrow, Master Lan will be in our village nursing the sick.

I will bring you to him to be checked.

This is a good porridge.

What a pity.

Master

Put this healing balm on him after he's washed and cleaned.

Be sure to put the balm on every wound.

This.. is the best of the healing balms.

Yes, Master, you don't have to worry.

I'm going to rest now. Take care of him before you go off to bed.

I understand.

Quite stubborn still.

Okay, you'll get more of it later.

I received a secret report, saying that someone broke into the Heavenly Prison.

And rescued a prisoner.

Yes, I got her out.

Wan Mei failed in her mission. She's a cripple now.

so . . .

Gong Zi

We've planned so long for this. Now, the gu poison and Fen Tuo Tu are both in our hands.

The only missing thing is the guiding herb.

I've injected the gu poison into her.

This errand

is well carried out.

Yue Ying has violated Gong Zi's order. But Yue Ying is unregretful.

Where is she now?

I've tasked someone to bring her to Ling City.

I didn't do wrong.

Fine.

Go kneel outside and think hard about whether you were right or wrong.
