[Butterflied Lover]

[Eighteen: Please Believe Me]

You've been sick for so many days.

It's good to get out and about.

Yes, it's not good to stay home all the time.

My lord?

What can I do

to help you get better?

Your Highness,

it's time to take your medicine.

Your Highness,

I don't know what's going on

with your body.

You've been taking medicine for so long,

but there has been no improvement.

It worries me to death.

He Xi,

it's too bitter.

Can you bring me some sugar?

I will go right away.

Come.

My Lord?

Let's go.

What are you going to do?

If the imperial doctor can't cure your illness,

we will find other doctors outside.

We will definitely cure you.

I just caught a cold.

It's okay.

A cold?

Can a cold make you so weak? Let's go.

What's wrong with your hand?

Half a year ago,

Changfeng gave me the unicorn's blood,

saying it was to save our sister.

The wound on your arm… Could it be…

My lord, it's not good!

My lord, Her Ladyship…

Kun Qing,

what's going on?

My Lord, it has nothing to do with Counselor Kun.

Speak!

I told you not to touch her!

My Lord, it really wasn't him.

My Lord, I know everything now.

It's because of me

that your elder sister…

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

My Lord,

try using my unicorn's blood again.

Enough.

My Lord,

we've tried so many times

that one more time won't make a difference.

Let's try again,

okay?

I can't keep hurting you

in order to save my sister.

Your Highness,

that's enough.

That's really enough.

Let's put an end

to all of this.

My Lord,

I'm sorry.

I still couldn't help you save your sister.

No,

I'm the one who should apologize to you.

Only now do I realize

that I was wrong from the start.

I should have let my sister rest long ago.

I was the one who kept pushing myself.

My Lord

don't blame yourself like this.

Your Highness,

what's wrong with your body?

I'll go find Doctor Xun.

I'm fine, I…

Your Highness?

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Your Highness!

My lord.

What's wrong with Her Highness?

Her Highness has contracted the blood disease.

Given Her Highness's current condition, I'm afraid…

I'm afraid there's no cure.

Blood disease?

Exactly.

My Lord.

You woke up.

My Lord,

I just had a dream.

I dreamed about

the first time I saw you.

The first time?

One New Year's Eve,

I sneaked out of the palace to play in the market.

Come and take a look!

Take care!

Miss, look at this hairpin.

It suits you so well.

♫ The wine cup is filled with my missing ♫

Many people from the palace were sent to find me.

At that time,

I met you for the first time.

♫ With spring blossoms everywhere and swallows chirping ♫

♫ But I can't remember for whom I am drunk ♫

Miss, what are you…

♫ Seasons cycle forever ♫

♫ There is no turning back for me ♫

♫ I'm trapped alone with my broken heart ♫

♫ Left with nothing but the irreparable past ♫

♫ By my side, the silent moonlight flows like water ♫

♫ The seeming raindrop turns out to be a tear ♫

♫ Among the myriad of night lights, I have no place to return to ♫

♫ Or no one to be with ♫

Thank you.

♫ The river is veiled by a thin mist, and the willows stand afar on the banks ♫

♫ The shuttling boats carry the travelers back and forth ♫

♫ The flocculent stops on my clothes ♫

♫ Bringing the longing of someone ♫

Your Highness, I'm here to take you back to the palace.

♫ I feel I am in a dream and my eyes are blurred when I look back ♫

I forgot

about that.

At that time, I was thinking

that I needed to grow up quickly,

and once I grew up,

I would have my father arrange our marriage,

and you would marry me.

No noble girl

could steal you from me.

How come there are so many things

that I don't know about?

There's a lot more you don't know.

When you came to the palace

and let me help Ziyan draft the decree for our marriage,

you didn't know that I was so happy all night

that I couldn't sleep.

My Lord,

everyone in the palace is afraid of you.

But I know

you're strict with Ziyan

because you want him to grow up quickly.

You're not a cold and hard block of ice.

You're snow.

You may look cold,

but once people touch you, they will find

that you are soft.

And the hand that leaves

is warm too.

♫ I feel I am in a dream and my eyes are blurred when I look back ♫

♫ I'm caught up in this mortal world ♫

♫ We met each other in the dim light ♫

♫ When the spring breezes greened the banks of the south ♫

♫ When you turned around, even the stars were outshone ♫

♫ Bluebirds fly side by side ♫

♫ And spring swallows return to the eaves ♫

♫ Light rain wets the spring clothes ♫

What did the princess write in the letter?

You've been reading it for so long.

Changfeng?

My sister couldn't make it through this winter.

Luckily,

Pearl and my brother are okay.

I remember

that when Pearl was a child,

she often came to our house to play.

We could gather together back then.

But now that we're grown up

and married,

we're separated.

Only by letter

can we learn about each other's situation.

When our child is born,

we will go back.

This New Year's Eve,

let's invite Pearl and Lord Wu'an to our place,

and all of us will celebrate together,

okay?

Okay.

It will be soon.

What are you doing? You are being so secretive

and not letting me see.

You'll know in a moment.

Come. Mind the stairs.

Here.

Is it ready?

It's ready.

Madam Yuan,

weren't you supposed to come a little later?

Your husband sends me a letter every other day

to confirm your condition.

I might as well come back early to see you.

He's just been worrying needlessly all day.

Don't you complain every day that you have no neighbors?

I wish I could call

Mrs. Hong and Pearl over for you.

It's alright.

Come, let me check your body.

How is it, Madam Yuan?

Don't worry, your pulse is normal.

I never thought you could hold on till now.

See, I told you that you worry too much every day.

Thank you, Madam Yuan.

Madam Yuan,

tell me the truth.

How's the situation now?

You don't have to worry too much.

The child is fine.

What about Qianyue?

She has exerted herself too much because of this child.

Probably on the day of delivery…

Madam, is there any other way?

The only way is to draw the poison immediately

at the time of delivery.

Changfeng,

pass me the scissors.

Changfeng?

What's wrong?

I said, pass me the scissors.

Here.

Changfeng.

Let me see.

It's alright.

Be more careful.

Why are you so distracted today?

Not at all.

I'll go handle it.

Have you really decided?

Yes.

There's no other way.

You're sure?

Once the child is born,

we'll draw the poison.

But it seems

Qianyue knows nothing.

Are you sure you won't tell her?

She doesn't need to know.

As long as she knows a little,

drawing the poison will not be successful.

Qianyue, why are you…?

What does "drawing the poison" mean?

Drawing the poison is actually…

Does it have something to do with my child?

Qianyue, let me explain. Actually…

Madam Yuan?

- Qianyue! - I don't believe him.

Tell me.

What does drawing the poison really mean?

Qianyue!

Madam Yuan!

By using a blood relative to draw the butterfly poison,

the poison in your body

will be drawn to your child,

and then you can completely become a normal person.

This is the only method

that can save you.

I don't need you to save me with my child.

I won't do anything that harms the child.

I will do everything to protect this child.

They won't be hurt at all, believe me.

Don't come over.

I absolutely won't

let you touch my child.

Qianyue,

this is the one

and only method that can save you.

There is no mother in this world

who would sacrifice her own child to save herself.

Changfeng,

I beg you.

Don't do this.

Qianyue, don't worry.

Neither you nor the child will have any problems.

Trust me.

Don't come close to me.

I won't trust you anymore.

I won't trust you anymore.

Qianyue!

Are you really going to do this?

♫ Summon the wind to pluck the willow twigs ♫

♫ Have the water send the message of spring ♫

♫ I want to climb a tall building ♫

♫ Dance like swirling snowflakes ♫

♫ Leave light on the clear platform ♫

♫It seems like the old times ♫

♫ That once shined upon the melancholic souls ♫

♫ Where did all this yearning come from ♫

♫ I fell for you at first sight ♫

♫ Secretly rejoicing, I sounded the bell ♫

♫ In the gentle breezes ♫

♫ Even mountains, rivers, and flying snow were also moved ♫

♫ I made the sincerest wish ♫
