[Butterflied Lover]

[Seventeen: Almost]

Qianyue!

Look.

All the clothes I brought are almost too small.

The baby is almost bursting out of them.

I thought something big had happened.

Isn't this a big deal?

It's my fault.

I should have prepared clothes for all stages for you.

How does the baby grow so fast?

I have nothing else to do later.

I'll go out and get you some fitting clothes.

Okay, buy the expensive ones.

Okay.

[Sir Ling, please come to see me in the back hall.]

Brother, how did you know where I live?

The princess and I have been there once.

So it was that time.

Why do you want to see me today?

Changfeng,

I know your wife

has always been a Butterfly Slave,

and she's pregnant.

Don't worry,

I won't harm her.

I only want to ask you one thing.

Go ahead.

Do you have a way to save her?

If so, what then?

I want to save our elder sister.

Our elder sister?

Poor elder sister,

lying in this place without daylight all year round.

Your Highness,

His Lordship has already forbidden me to take your blood.

Why are you here?

I've told you

that I want to help Lord Wu'an save his sister.

I naturally have to keep my word.

But your complexion

doesn't look good.

I've been fair-skinned since I was a child,

giving people the impression

that I am frail.

Your Highness, no.

You should go back.

If His Lordship knows,

he will definitely blame me.

Kun Qing, we can simply not let Lord Wu'an know.

Besides,

I can eat more blood-replenishing soups.

Our elder sister is here.

Oh no, His Lordship is here.

Hide quickly.

Sister.

It's really her.

But didn't she already...

Back then, the Yilan clan

turned our sister and her party into Butterfly Slaves

and sent them back to our city.

I saw with my own eyes her fighting our own soldiers,

and I also saw her hurt by our own soldiers.

At that time, you rushed to the palace to get the unicorn's blood,

and our father wanted to burn her alive.

When I could take her away,

she had already become like this.

She is now neither a dead person nor a living Butterfly Slave.

So your plan

is to revive the butterfly poison in her body

and turn her into a living Butterfly Slave,

then use Mokui Soup to dissolve her poison

so that she becomes a normal person.

Yes.

After experiencing what happened to Qianyue,

I can empathize with you, brother.

But reviving the butterfly poison...

Reviving the butterfly poison

requires the unicorn's blood.

You married Pearl

for her unicorn's blood, did you?

Yes.

Only Pearl has the unicorn's blood.

Pearl is so kind and innocent,

longing to marry you.

Even if you want to use the unicorn's blood to save our sister,

you should use someone else's unicorn's blood.

There isn't much unicorn's blood in this world!

Do you know why the Yilan clan wanted our city's princess for marriage?

What they wanted was never a princess.

They only wanted Pearl.

Kun Qing,

what does Lord Wu'an mean by this?

What does it mean?

The Yilan clan

wanted to use Pearl's unicorn's blood to feed the butterfly poison.

The late emperor made our sister a princess

to substitute for marriage.

Naturally, Yilan found out that our sister was fake.

So in their anger,

they planted the butterfly poison in her and her party,

turning them into Butterfly Slaves.

So all of this

is because of me.

Why hasn't he returned yet?

Changfeng!

Changfeng,

you're finally back.

What's wrong?

♫ The solitary peak is covered in snow, reaching for the crescent moon in the sky ♫

♫ Fate dictates our gatherings and partings, and love has its own ups and downs ♫

I suddenly feel that life is too bitter.

Everyone is bearing their own

unspoken bitterness.

I know.

Why are you not eating properly again?

What do you want to eat? I'll serve you.

♫ Fate is like a boat crossing red leaves ♫

Here.

I can serve myself.

My lord.

Your Highness, the side room is ready.

Why did you prepare the side room?

Doctor Xun said

my body needs to rest.

From today on,

I will move to the side room.

I'm full.

He Xi, let's go and get some air.

Your Highness, what happened between you and Lord Wu'an?

♫ I want to see you again after innumerable twists and turns ♫

Your Highness?

What brings you here?

Qianyue!

Your Highness, what's wrong?

I...

Qianyue,

It's okay. Don't cry, Your Highness.

I'm here. I'm right here.

Stop crying, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Thank you, Qianyue.

So you were there that day,

and you heard everything we said.

Cousin, please don't blame Lord Wu'an.

If you were in his position,

you wouldn't give up on Qianyue either.

That's his sister.

He had no choice.

Moreover,

I volunteered to give him my blood.

Your Highness, Changfeng understands all this.

He's just worried about you.

Cousin, could you give this to Lord Wu'an for me?

What is this?

The unicorn's blood? Did you...

Cousin,

his elder sister became like this because she substituted for me in the marriage.

I also want to save her,

but definitely not by sacrificing another person.

Sacrificing?

It's just drawing a little blood.

I don't need to give up my life for it.

Besides, Lord Wu'an is in a difficult position because of me.

That's why I came to you, cousin.

I will think of other ways together with Lord Wu'an.

Then, until you find a solution,

let me continue to help your sister with my blood.

Cousin, can you help me persuade Lord Wu'an?

Please!

Okay, let's not talk about this.

Your Highness, you must be tired from the travel.

Let's go eat first.

Let's go.

Come.

Qianyue, what are you doing?

Roasting sweet potatoes.

Your Highness, come here.

Okay.

Here, Your Highness. Be careful. It's hot.

It smells so good.

Is it delicious?

It's so sweet and delicious.

Is this the first time

Your Highness has tasted such a delicious thing?

Your Highness,

do you know the biggest wish

I've always had?

What is it?

To be an ordinary person,

lead the most ordinary life,

and live the simplest life.

Actually, me too.

But,

after going through so much, I realize

that being ordinary

and living an ordinary life are the hardest.

Every ordinary person

has to face the various uncertainties that life can throw at them at any time.

Qianyue,

though I don't quite understand what you're saying,

I can still catch a little bit.

Your Highness, what I mean

is that

I can't stop

your desire to save Lord Wu'an's elder sister.

But as for this matter,

the fault lies in the greed and wickedness of the Yilan clan years ago,

not in you.

You are the best princess in the world.

Really?

So, Your Highness, you shouldn't blame yourself anymore.

If many things remain unchanged

after we do everything possible,

then we should just let them be.

Alright then.

Your Highness, come.

You can feel the baby.

Your belly is so soft.

The lives of my child and I were saved by you, Your Highness.

So, Your Highness, next time

you must come to see me

and my child cheerfully, okay?

The baby has grown so big.

By the time you come next, the baby will be this big.

Let me do it.

Don't look at my face.

What's wrong with your face?

It's ugly.

Let me see.

I've seen every side of you.

Madam Yuan said

that as the pregnancy progresses,

I will become like this.

Look.

It's very ugly, isn't it?

I thought it was something serious.

Mrs. Hong said she also looked like this when she was pregnant.

Everything will be fine when the child is born.

Really?

But

you do look a bit pale today.

I'll apply some lip rouge for you.

Madam Yuan said

that you and the child are both in good condition.

So don't worry.

Everything will go smoothly.

See? You look just like you do usually.

Changfeng,

I've been wanting to ask you

when you began

to truly want this child.

You silly.

This child connects us.

I've never truly wanted to give up on our child.

I also love our child very much.

Are you hungry? I'll go make some breakfast for you.

You should rest first.

Don't catch a cold.

Don't worry.

It'll be soon, Changfeng.

Let me do

this last thing properly for you.

There's one more month.

It's time to prepare.
