[bunniefuu]

Severe cold has invaded her body,

and it's already reached
a life-threatening stage.

She needs a scraping treatment
to stimulate her blood flow

and clear her meridians.

Is there any lady among you

who can help with the scraping treatment?

I'm her husband.

I can do it.

Wrap the blanket around her tightly.

Take off her clothes.

[Episode 19]

Father.

Mother.

Father, Mother, where are you?

Father.

Mother.

Father!

Mother!

Wait for me!

No...

Be good, Changyu.

Go back.

Go back.

Where are you going?

Changyu.

Take good care of your sister

and yourself.

No.

Take me with you, Mother.

We've got to go.

Take me with you!

Father!

Mother!

Father!

Father.

Mother.

You're having a nightmare.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here with you.

Don't go.

I've k*lled many people—
my k*lling aura is strong.

With me here,

no ghosts would dare come near.

Wu.

Tell me, with the way
His Lordship treats her—

where you come from,
wouldn't he be expected to marry her?

I swore to keep my mouth shut.

Don't ask me.

Come on, tell me.

Tell me. Come on.

They've already gone that far.

Of course he has to marry...

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

Give it to me.

Your Lordshi...

Changyu.

I'll marry you, okay?

If you don't say anything,

I'll take that as a yes.

Hyah!

Whoa!

Where is His Lordship?
I have urgent news to report.

His Lordship might still be asleep.

He kept watch by that woman's bed
all night.

All night?

What's their relationship?

Asking me again?

Ask him yourself if you want to know.

What's up?

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

We've found the remnants of
Qingfeng Stronghold.

They were hiding in the back mountain.

Also, during interrogation last night,
the bandit who survived said

that they were bought off by Sui Yuanqing.

That bandit also said that

on the night of the m*ssacre,

Sui Yuanqing attempted to do
something improper to that young lady.

It seemed

he was targeting her specifically.

Get the horses.

Xie Wu, Xie Qi, stay here.

The rest of the Blood-Robed Cavalry,

follow me quietly.

[Northwest Inn]

Greetings, Prime Minister.

I have arrived at the Yanzhou Barracks

and met with the Marquis of Wu'an.

Although the Marquis has doubts about
the past events in Jinzhou,

he has no solid evidence.

You can rest assured, Prime Minister.

His intentions toward you
are still unclear, Prime Minister.

I will continue to investigate
and report at any time.

Lord Sheng.

You may enter.

Lord Sheng.

The Marquis of Wu'an went to Lin'an

and wiped out Qingfeng Stronghold.

That lousy bandit den was worth him
going personally?

It was because the bandits there
had previously been incited by Sui Yuanqing

to m*ssacre Lin'an.

That small town Lin'an.

According to
the Prime Minister's judgment,

Lord Changxin's next target
will be Lucheng.

Sui Yuanqing is his most valued son—

so why, at a time like this,
instead of reinforcing Lucheng,

would he go out of his way
to m*ssacre such a minor town?

I do not know.

But I accidentally discovered that

while the Marquis of Wu'an was staying in Lin'an
to recover from his injuries,

he actually married into a family there.

Married into a family?

Whoa!

Whoa!

Lady Shisa...

My brother is dead.

You were the one
who led him to m*ssacre Lin'an—

so why didn't you bring him back alive?

The Marquis of Wu'an issued a death order

to wipe out the entire
Qingfeng Stronghold.

Anyone captured would be disemboweled,

and their corpse would be left exposed
for 3 days.

He even dispatched


Don't you know what kind of force


They could wipe out your Qingfeng Stronghold


The fact that you can still
stand here unscathed

and talk to me now

is already heaven's blessing.

So?

Am I supposed to be grateful to him
or something?

Remember this:

it was this woman named Fan Changyu
who k*lled your brother.

Go take your revenge yourself.

Don't come bother me.

I'll definitely flay her alive.

Wait!

Who is this kid?

Need you ask?

It must be the little b*stard
that Xie Zheng had

with that butcher woman.

Little b*stard?

Bring her here.

Where did you find her?

I snatched her from Xigu Lane.

I saw that her jade pendant
looked expensive,

and thought this hostage
might be worth something,

so he kept her alive.

You bet she's worth a fortune.

Let me go!

-This girl is mine now.
-Let go of me!

You villain!

I'll avenge you.

-Let go of me!
-Swear it!

That the Marquis of Wu'an
and the butcher woman will pay with their lives!

Let go of me!

I swear.

Let me go!

You'll have to pay with your life, too.

[Government]

My Lord.

Over 500 bodies were recovered
in Lin'an Town,

and countless were injured.

Over 100 houses were damaged,

and the townspeople are still short of
food and clothing.

Notify the Jizhou Granary
and Weaving Bureau

to urgently allocate supplies
to support Lin'an.

Provide shelter for
the homeless women and children

at the Jizhou Prefecture posthouse.

Also,

bring some wood
from the neighboring counties...

My Lord, your health comes first.

You haven't recovered from
your serious injuries yet...

If I hadn't left Lin'an back then,

perhaps this tragedy
wouldn't have happened.

Who could have predicted it?

You needn't blame yourself, My Lord.

Report!

My Lord, we've found traces of Mrs. Fan.

Do as I ordered immediately.

-Yes.
-Assemble some troops and follow me.

-Yes.
-My Lord.

You haven't fully recovered.

I can go instead.

I promised Master.

I must go in person for this.

My Lord!

The Jizhou Army has been searching
in our direction.

Our men at the pass
can't hold them back much longer.

So why is it that
we can't let Li Huai'an's men

find us?

Why so many questions?

Go ask Master if you dare.

Fake soldiers?

They're probably in league with
the bandits from Qingfeng Stronghold.

Ma'am, what's the matter?

Your Young Madam's clothes

she wore yesterday
when she was all sweaty...

Young Madam?

I've washed and dried them for her.

Thank you for your trouble.

You may go in.

Good girl.

Your fever is finally gone.

Ma'am.

You saved me.

Poor girl.

You ran into bandits

and caught a chill.

You've suffered greatly.

Luckily, you have a good husband.

They are all villains.

None of them is my husband.

Villains?

Don't worry.

Let's get out of here together.

But...

Young lady,

this old body of mine
can't possibly keep up.

Young lady,

where are you taking me?

Young lady...

The back mountain.

Let's go.

They're gone.

Follow me.

Come on, Ma'am.

Come on. Be careful.

Why are there suddenly
so many troops here?

Come on, Ma'am.

Ma'am, just hide here.

I'll go take a look.

If they really are government officials,

I'll come back and get you.

Young lady, please be extra careful.

Don't worry.

Lord Li!

Lord Li!

Lord Li!

Lord Li!

Lord Li!

Do you really have to go to such lengths
just to catch me?

Just for this thing,

you even risked your life!

Is it really that important?

It's none of your business!

Let me go!

Is this thing really that important
to you?

Who gave it to you?

A friend.

Friend? What kind of friend?

What does it have to do with you?

What kind of friend is worth
risking your life for?

None of your business!

Just k*ll me if you want.

Enough talk!

Never mind. As long as you are safe.

Whoa!

Whoa!

I finally found you.

I heard your voice
at the foot of the mountain just now.

Was someone chasing you?

Why are you so badly injured?

I'm okay. Just some scratches.

There's a blind old lady

who escaped with me.

She's hiding in the grass

along this mountain path further up.

Lord Li, please

have someone take care of her.

Just tell her you're government officials,

so she won't be scared.

Zhuoran.

Yes.

You four, follow me.

Yes.

Are the villagers of Xigu Lane okay?

Mr. Li.

Mr. Li...

Mrs. Yin.

Mrs. Yin...

Mrs. Yin...

One, two, three!

[Xigu Lane]

Move aside!

Who are you?

[Xigu Lane]

Go away. Move.

Hurry up and get the work done.

His Lordship has instructed

to cremate them as soon as possible

to prevent a plague.

Listen up, everyone.

My Lord.

They were human beings. Be gentle.

Yes, My Lord.

Be gentle, everyone.

-Yes.
-Understood.

[Xigu Lane]

-Mrs. Zhao...
-Changyu!

[Xigu Lane]

Where is Changning?

Changning...

Changning is missing.

Changyu!

Let's have a rest here.

Go find some food over there.

Okay.

-Got it.
-Let's go.

That way.

Stop crying!

If you keep crying,

I'll throw you into the river.

Go

and get me some clean water.

Go!

Kid.

Kid.

I knew you'd be scared.

Look how cute it is.

Touch it.

Look at its eyes.

Don't you have any shame?

If you're so tough,
go fight the Marquis of Wu'an.

Bullying a little girl
doesn't make you a hero, okay?

Why are you so serious?

I was just joking.

Oh no. She has asthma.

How did the Marquis of Wu'an
sire such a sickly child?

So troublesome.

Shut up.

There's no medicine in here.

It's okay.

I also had asthma when I was little.

Relax. You'll feel better soon.

I didn't expect you to know this trick.

Fine.

I'll leave this kid in your care.

Don't let her die on the way.

Thank you, Miss.

[Sui]

Why?

Why can't you just listen to me?

I meant for you to be dressed
in splendid clothes,

adorned with gold and jewels,

looking radiant by my side.

And yet these fine clothes

do not please you?

Bring the tailor here.

Drag the tailor out

and snap her hands.

-Yes.
-Master, please spare my life!

Master, please spare me!

Such rare treasures

and dazzling objects—

yet you show absolutely
no affection for them.

Guards!

This craftswoman has poor taste.

Drag her out and gouge out her eyes!

Yes.

Master, please spare my life!

-Move.
-Please spare my life, Master!

Please spare me!

This cook can't even make
anything you like.

Then there's no need for him
to keep his tongue.

Master, please spare me!

Enough!

You madman.

If I had known it would come to this,

I never would have saved you.

You're just a madman!

I'm a madman?

I treat you so well,

and you call me a madman?

Then why can't you just do as I wish

and go mad with me?

Those people outside

all died because of you.

If you want to make me obey

by threatening the lives of your servants,

it will only cost more lives.

Stop hurting innocent people.

Why don't you do as I wish

and k*ll me?

You know perfectly well—

you can act so recklessly

only because of

the little affection I have for you.

Fine.

Bring that little brat here.

Mother!

You may not care about

the lives of others.

But I see this brat

looks so innocent and kind.

Can you really harden your heart

and abandon him?

If you want to do it, do it now.

He's your son anyway.

He shouldn't have been born
in the first place.

k*ll him first,

and then k*ll me.

My son?

If

I could really bring myself to k*ll him,

what would you do then?

Do as you please.

I'll just pretend I never had this son.

I've long had enough.

Mother...

I think you

still haven't understood what I meant.

I am the one
who wants to k*ll him the most.

Do you dare to bet that I won't?

Don't!

You win.

You win.

You win.

I beg you, don't k*ll him.

How is it?

Do I look good?

Enough.

Enough.

This is enough.

Mother.

My family of three

is finally reunited.

Take him away.

Yes.

-Mother!
-Bao'er...

Mother!

Bao'er, don't be afraid!

Mother!

I finally know

where your weakness lies.

My Lord.

What brings you here?

Come on.

Please come in and have a seat.

No need, Mrs. Zhao.

We're here to tell Mrs. Fan

that we've found her father's

and Fan Daniu's wife's corpses.

They're dead too?

My Lord,

could you not tell Changyu this for now?

I'm worried she can't handle this much.

Okay.

Where is Mrs. Fan now?

Changyu looks fine on the surface,

eating and drinking as usual.

But I know deep down

that she's suffering in silence.

Mrs. Fan is truly strong-willed.

She can stay so calm in such a situation.

No wonder on the day of the m*ssacre,

she managed to fight her way in and out
multiple times,

saving so many villagers.

I just hope she doesn't break down.

Changyu.

Changyu?

[In Memory of Late Father Fan Erniu
and Late Mother Meng Lihua, Interred Together]

Changyu!

Give it to me.

The government will handle these things.

Why do it yourself?

The dead are gone.

Don't wear yourself out.

[Tomb of Lady Kang San]

Granny Kang had been all alone.

Two generations of men in her family

all died on the b*ttlefield.

Her grandson, Xiaohu,

is still looking for his grandma.

She also had an older grandson

who went for corvee labor years ago,

and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Mrs. Yin from the noodle shop—

she came from Anhua.

I need to write a letter

to inform her family.

[Tomb of Chef Li Deqin]

Chef Li from Yixiang Restaurant—

his father is already 70

and still working on the farm.

I don't know if he survived this disaster.

I have to find time to check on him.

And Mr. Wang—

he treated the magistrate's office
like home.

And the other neighbors...

If I don't put them in coffins,

I won't be at peace.

You've been going without sleep or rest.

How could your body take it?

Let me take you to rest for a while.

Let's go.

I dare not rest.

I see them as soon as I close my eyes.

Every single one of them...

And my Changning...

Changyu.

Changning wasn't among the bodies
we found.

[In Memory of Late Father Fan Erniu
and Late Mother Meng Lihua, Interred Together]

She's lucky and resilient.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

Don't worry.

I've sent more men to search everywhere.

She'll be fine.

I have to find Changning.

I have to bring her back.

Father, Mother.

I'm about to go on a long journey.

If you are watching from above,

please guide me to Changning,

Yan Zheng,

and all the survivors from Lin'an,

[Memorial Tablet of Meng Lihua]
[Memorial Tablet of Fan Erniu]

and help me bring them back safely.
