The Assassin Page #2

She wanted me to recognize her

before taking my life.

She wants me to know why.

These jades were given...

to my mother when she married

into the Weibo clan.

When I came of age,

Mother gave one to me,one to Yinniang.

One jade each,

she betrothed us.

Mother intended us to wed

when Yinniang turned fifteen.

The following year,

Yuan, the Ming lord,

formed an alliance with Weibo.

Father wanted to cement

the alliance with a marriage.

I was born to a concubine, Mother adopted me.

To be sure that I would inherit Weibo.

Mother betrayed her promise to Yinniang.

Back then,

Yinniang stayed in the forest.

Like a phoenix!

She broke into the Yuans' mansion.

Their guards wounded her.

She could have died.

Mother asked her twin sister,Princess Jiaxin,

to take Yinniang away.

I feel for Yinniang.

When I was ten I had a serious fever.

The pain was unbearable.

The doctors were no help.

A small coffin was prepared.

Yinniang's father suggested

I be rolled in a bamboo mat

and put in a cool spot.

After three days and nights,

I was cured.

In my delirium,

I sensed a presence.

It was Yinniang.

No one could have made her leave.

Excuse me, sir,

our guard has a report.

Speak.

Lord Provost,

an assassin entered Lord Tian's mansion.

Our guards are in pursuit.

What is the situation?

Nothing is certain.

I withdraw.

We should not have allowed

the nun to take Yinniang away.

What choice did we have?

We had to save her somehow.

Do you realize?

Yinniang is back

to kill Lord Tian

on the orders of her Master!

Provost,

a messenger is here.

Lord Tian urgently requires your presence.

My Lord, the Provost is here.

Your humble servant pays his respects.

I sent for you,

because I want you to escort

Commander Tian Xing to the border.

Make sure he reaches it safely.

My Lord,

Tian Xing went home yesterday.

He had a stroke.

He's pretending.

As you command.

Uncle...

Be ready for anything.

Three years ago, his predecessor

was seized and buried alive.

That must not happen again!

Yinniang...

returned home yesterday.

We came face to face last night.

As My Lady guessed,

she faked her period with chicken blood.

Lord Tian is here.

Tell the nurse to fetch the boys.

Jiang, show yourself!

Yesterday, I ordered Tian Xing to leave.

He has a new post.

Just now, I ordered Provost Nie Feng

to escort him.

The incident of three years ago

must not be repeated!

Understood.

I hear we had an intruder last night.

The same woman in black?

You are well informed!

Travel safely!

Bring Xiaomian here.

Master,

it is exactly as Madame guessed.

Huji is pregnant.

She faked her period with chicken blood.

Commander Tian Xing will leave.
