I Will Never Let You Go Episode 6 Recap
> I Will Never Let You Go Recap
Mo Ruofei, seriously injured, was rushed back to the Mo Manor, accompanied by Hua Buqi. His mother, Madam Mo, deeply worried, personally tended to his wounds, addressing him as "Yishan." She was visibly shocked by Hua Buqi's striking resemblance to Xue Fei. Despite his weakened state, Mo Ruofei instructed Jiansheng to take good care of Hua Buqi. However, Jiansheng, resentful that Mo Ruofei had been hurt while saving Hua Buqi, instead locked her in the firewood shed.
Hua Buqi protested, asserting her identity as a Princess, but Jiansheng dismissed her, warning her about the Heir Apparent's fierce temper and stating he might kill anyone who dared to enter the Royal Manor. Alone in the shed, Hua Buqi despaired, fearing she had walked into a "deadly disaster," and grumbled about the "dog-ass Heir Apparent." At the Royal Manor, Chen Yu sent the Spring Revival Pill to the Seventh Prince before returning to his room.
Looking at the portrait of his late mother, the Seventh Princess Consort, Chen Yu's heart was filled with complex emotions. He believed that if his father, the Seventh Prince, hadn't forced Xue Fei into marriage, his mother would not have fallen ill and passed away. Reflecting on his mother's suffering, Chen Yu resolved to no longer show pity towards Hua Buqi and to prevent her from entering the Royal Manor.
He also observed the numerous other hopeful "Princesses" being sent to the manor by various families, all seeking to flatter the Prince. Meanwhile, Hua Buqi, suffering from hunger in the shed, dreamt of Uncle Jiu. In her dream, he brought her a bun for her birthday, comforting her and promising never to leave her. She murmured his name repeatedly while asleep. Chen Yu secretly entered the shed to check on Hua Buqi.
As he tried to gently wipe away her tears, she, still dreaming of food, bit his arm, mistaking it for a chicken leg. He quickly withdrew as she stirred. Hua Buqi awakened, spotted a mouse, and prepared to eat it raw, lamenting the lack of mud to make a "Beggar's Mouse." Chen Yu, hidden on a beam, threw down a chicken leg to stop her.
After she eagerly ate, Hua Buqi questioned his motives, guessing he was there because of the Seventh Prince's search for his illegitimate daughter. She stated she wasn't afraid of death but felt sorry for not fulfilling her promise to Uncle Jiu, who genuinely cared for her. She recounted a past famine where Uncle Jiu saved her life and emphasized that unlike the Lin and Mo families, who were "using her," Uncle Jiu selflessly protected and raised her.
She ended by asking for more chicken legs or taro. At Mingyue Villa, Qingwu's junior sister, after successfully securing the rights to run the Imperial Treasury, mocked Qingwu for her repeated failures, including her inability to kill three targets. The junior sister asserted her own superior qualifications for leadership. Humiliated, Qingwu vowed to kill the Lotus Robe Knight, Mo Ruofei, and "that smelly beggar" Hua Buqi to exact her revenge.
Mo Ruofei awakened, his mother relieved that he was out of immediate danger. He learned of the attack, which he believed was related to the Imperial Treasury bidding and the Seventh Prince's discontent with the Mo family's high interest rates. Upon discovering that Jiansheng locked Hua Buqi in the firewood shed due to his injuries, Mo Ruofei became enraged.
He declared that regardless of whether Hua Buqi was truly the Seventh Prince's daughter, he would ensure she became a recognized Princess, as he believed this was the Mo family's only path to securing favor with the Prince. Mo Ruofei personally freed Hua Buqi from the shed and instructed Jiansheng to inform the Seventh Prince of her arrival. However, Chen Yu appeared, stating there was no need.
He bluntly declared that Hua Buqi was not his "Royal Father's bastard" and warned Mo Ruofei against sending just "any kind of person" to the Royal Manor to flatter the Prince, alluding to serious consequences. Mo Ruofei, acknowledging Chen Yu's prominent status as the Heir Apparent, respectfully explained that he brought Hua Buqi due to "a lot of similarities" in her past.
Chen Yu then insisted on speaking with Hua Buqi alone, and Mo Ruofei, with no other choice, conceded and left. Alone with Hua Buqi, Chen Yu directly asked if she wanted to enter the Royal Manor. She stated her preference for freedom over comfort and said she only wanted to fulfill Uncle Jiu's last wish. Chen Yu then instructed her to employ "atrocious tricks" when she met the Seventh Prince to ensure he disliked her.
Hua Buqi initially hesitated, not wanting to bring trouble upon Mo Ruofei. Chen Yu assured her that he would protect Mo Ruofei and then, with a chilling threat, stated he would kill her if she were truly the Seventh Prince's daughter. He warned her not to defy him, reminding her he "can kill her anytime." Frightened, Hua Buqi agreed to act disgracefully to avoid entering the Royal Manor.
After Chen Yu left, Mo Ruofei instructed servants to prepare Hua Buqi for her presentation, offering her food and a bath. He then learned from Jiansheng that the Seventh Prince required a sample of Hua Buqi's blood and all her personal belongings for verification before she could enter the Royal Manor.
Aware of the risks, Mo Ruofei secretly added a special "medicinal water" to Hua Buqi's blood, a technique he found in ancient texts, believing it would ensure the blood blended with the Prince's, thus confirming her false identity and safeguarding the Mo family's ambitions. The Seventh Prince confirmed Hua Buqi's blood as that of the Saintess.
He immediately ordered a search through her belongings for any clues related to Zhu Hua or Biluotian, questioning Zhu Hua's relationship with Xue Fei (who Zhu Hua entrusted to Mo Baixing) and the paternity of Xue Fei's child. His trusted attendant, Ah Fu, offered reassurance, stating they were now "one step closer to victory."
However, the Seventh Prince expressed deep concern over his deteriorating health and the still missing half of the Biluotian map, without which the entrance could not be found. He revealed his plan to lure the mysterious man who stole the map by spreading rumors about holy objects in the capital.
To ensure Hua Buqi's safety and keep her under his watchful eye, he decided to bring her into the Royal Manor, and summoned Concubine Gan and Chen Yu to the main hall. In the main hall, the Seventh Prince, in front of Concubine Gan and Chen Yu, performed a blood recognition ceremony using the provided blood sample and his own. The blood blended, seemingly confirming Hua Buqi as his long-lost daughter.
He expressed his long-held wish to reunite with his daughter before his health deteriorated further and announced his decision to bring her into the Royal Manor. Concubine Gan reluctantly consented but cautioned that Hua Buqi should not trespass into her quarters. Chen Yu, however, vehemently opposed, threatening to kill Hua Buqi if she stepped foot into the Royal Manor. He fiercely rebuked his father for not considering his late mother's feelings.
The Seventh Prince attempted to reason with him, admitting his past wrongs but appealing to Chen Yu's understanding. As the Seventh Prince's health worsened due to the emotional strain, Chen Yu defiantly stated he wished for Hua Buqi to die so the rumors would dissipate. Angered by his son's "rebellious" words, the Seventh Prince requested Ah Fu, Chen Yu's martial arts teacher and trusted confidant, to intervene.
Later, in the backyard, Ah Fu attempted to persuade Chen Yu, reminding him of his deep, unspoken concern for his father and explaining that the Prince's actions, while seemingly causing distress, were ultimately for Chen Yu's benefit. Chen Yu expressed his frustration that his father's actions had dishonored his mother. Ah Fu confessed he was the one who encouraged the Prince, sympathizing with his long-held unhappiness. He implored Chen Yu to be considerate of his father's rapidly declining health.
Despite Ah Fu's pleas, Chen Yu remained resolute, vowing that the "illegitimate daughter" would never enter the Royal Manor. Back at the Mo Manor, Hua Buqi realized her bag was missing. Servants informed her that the Seventh Prince had requested all her personal belongings be sent to the Royal Manor for inspection. Panicked, she recalled Uncle Jiu's instructions about an alms bowl and a Mr. Zhu at Xingyuan Pawnshop.
She then encountered Mo Ruofei, angrily confronting him about taking her possessions. Mo Ruofei, however, produced her earthen bowl, explaining that he deliberately withheld it from the items sent to the Royal Manor because he knew how much it meant to her, especially after she risked her life for it at Tianmen Pass. He then questioned whether the bowl held a secret due to her intense protectiveness.
Hua Buqi denied this, asserting that it was merely the "only remembrance" Uncle Jiu left her, holding a value "more important than my life." She permitted Mo Ruofei to examine it but warned him not to take it from her.
