EPISODE 36
The emperor is very, very angry to hear that his children have been so seriously injured. Falling off from a carriage, getting handled with a fishing net, falling down a cliff — those aren’t light accidents.
Even the dowager looks so worried. Aww… oh, wait, no, Yongqi is the only one she inquires after as she listens to the report. Hah.
The emperor orders his men to bring along doctors this time, just in case. Qing’er is so touched by his benevolence that she almost cries.
The gang arrives at the next big city and stays at a pretty comfortable Airbnb, then they divide the work among themselves.
Yongqi and Xiaojian go grocery shopping while Xiaoyanzi and Erkang take Ziwei out to see a doctor.
Now, while Erkang makes a quick stop to ask for more information, Xiaoyanzi is put in charge of staying with Ziwei in one place for a few minutes, which is an extremely easy task for just about anyone with a brain. And if Xiaoyanzi was still the Xiaoyanzi we know in Season 1, she would have caused no problem. But alas, this season just has to turn Xiaoyanzi into a dunderhead.
She sees a group of people watching a chess match and tries to join them, then lets go of and LOSES Ziwei while doing so. HOW DID YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT LETTING GO OF ZIWEI’S HAND? She is blind, for god’s sake!
Immediately, a kidnapper approaches and takes Ziwei away by force.
And if you think you have seen Erkang freak out, you have seen nothing yet.
He comes out of the building, finds out that Ziwei is lost, goes more berserk than a berserk Viking, and almost strikes Xiaoyanzi.
And Xiaoyanzi feels like hell. But girl… You being sorry is not enough, no amount of tears or apology is enough this time.
Erkang straight out says that he wants to kill Xiaoyanzi right there. Yongqi, of course, protects her, he even says that Erkang should not have given Xiaoyanzi the big responsibility of taking care of Ziwei. To be honest, though, you should pipe down, Yongqi. Your girl totally deserves this reprimanding, and doesn’t your statement kind of indicate that Xiaoyanzi is stupid and unreliable?
Good thing Xiaojian is still calm and… is friends with a bearded dude who knows his way around the city.
So the two of them and Erkang begin to hunt for Ziwei around the city.
The kidnapper takes Ziwei to a brothel, which is the worst nightmare because Ziwei is the kind of girl who would readily kill herself before letting a stranger touch her.
This is the only time hate xiaoyanzi in this series like WHY DID SHE DO THAT.
Right?? It’s unbelievable.
