[The Wolf]

[Episode 7] You...

[Episode 7] You're mocking Second Prince.

I

will wait

for Fourth Prince's return.

Goodbye.

I won't see you out.

Sir.

Did the birth mother of Second Prince

really cheated on His Majesty

with another man?

It was a centurion

that spilled the truth before he died.

Half a month before

His Majesty slept with

Second Prince's birth mother,

she was

close to a chef in the Bozhou army.

Second Prince

was born half a month earlier too.

But it was a serious matter

without concrete evidence.

No one dared to speak about it

and anger His Majesty.

Yes.

But I've found out

most of the militia in Bozhou

became

official slaves around the Capital.

It won't take long

for me to find that chef.

Hurry.

The official slaves in the Capital

are under the command of Jing Xiang.

Be careful.

Yes.

If that chef from Bozhou army is found,

Second Prince's blood

will prove to be tainted.

[Slaves camp, outskirts of Suyang] Hurry and eat your rations!

[Slaves camp, outskirts of Suyang] We need to leave soon.

[Slaves camp, outskirts of Suyang] Hurry!

[Slaves camp, outskirts of Suyang]

[Official slave, Lin Guang]

Brother.

Stop staring.

We won't be able

to return to the Capital.

We'll most probably

die in this camp.

I'm not afraid of death.

But, I have an unfulfilled wish

so I must escape.

General!

General!

General.

One of the official slave

from Bozhou escaped.

What?

One escaped?

Brothers, stop eating!

Hurry, find that slave!

Where did he go?

I think towards the Capital.

Hurry, go after him!

If Jing Xiang finds out,

we'll be in deep trouble!

Hurry!

My father ordered

Ma Zhai Xing

to move in

to Bo Mansion

as Lady Bo tomorrow.

Lady?

Master,

Ma Zhai Xing?

Do you know another Ma Zhai Xing?

Master,

does

His Majesty wants us to kill her

here in the mansion?

So that Ma Zhai Xing will die

without any doubts raised?

Yes.

That makes sense.

Shut up!

I'll repeat it.

From tomorrow onwards,

Ma Zhai Xing will be Lady Bo.

Treat her politely.

Don't let her doubt anything.

Yes.

Yes, Master.

What are you doing?

Your Highness, you're awake?

Your Highness,

can I ask

what did you do

last night?

Don't tell me

you remember nothing?

You fell into the pond!

Did I slip because I was drunk?

I think

it was more than that.

Your Highness,

not long after you left last night,

Lord Bo left too.

Before you fell,

you were with him.

You even had

Lord Bo's cape on you.

But after you slipped

and fell into the pond,

Lord Bo left without

glancing back.

I think what happened must be

Lord Bo wanted to

treat you politely last night.

But,

you were drunk

and did something

rude to offend Lord Bo.

For example?

For example, you thought Lord Bo

was Wolfie.

Really?

Yes.

Why did I

do that?

His Majesty just announced our engagement.

Now, Lord Bo

has a bad impression of me.

What shall I do?

Your Highness.

Brother!

I was incompetent

for offending the Court recklessly.

Your marriage was sacrificed.

Brother Feng Cheng,

don't think too much.

Lord Bo

is a prince.

Marrying him

isn't something upsetting.

It's a wonderful thing.

His Majesty will stop

being suspicious

of the Ma Troop's loyalty.

Your Highness,

you're just like

the Castellan,

benevolent and honest.

Your Highness,

I know

you agreed to the marriage

for the Ma Troop.

If Lord Bo

is an eccentric man,

I'll offend His Majesty

to stop your marriage.

Ma Jing!

Yes!

From now onwards,

stay beside Her Highness

and take care of her.

Remember,

she mustn’t be hurt.

If anything happens,

send me a letter

and I'll rush back to the Capital.

Yes!

I, Ma Jing, will

take good care of Her Highness.

I won't let anyone bully her,

including Lord Bo!

You don't have to be so serious.

Haven't you heard of the saying,

like father, like daughter?

Maybe after Lord Bo

marries me,

a tigress,

he'll be the unlucky one?

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

the carriage from Bo Mansion

is waiting to pick you up

at the Western Palace's gate.

Master,

Her Highness had waited for you at the Western Palace's gate

for almost two hours.

I don't want to leave with her.

Send her back to the mansion first.

Master.

Your Highness,

it has been almost two hours.

Why isn't Lord Bo here yet?

Your Highness,

don't be afraid.

See this?

I purposely

wore an outfit similar to yours.

He'll

fail to recognise you.

If he's still mad

when we meet him,

I'll ask him

to vent his anger

at me!

Okay?

Thank you for your concern.

His Majesty must've summoned Lord Bo

for an important matter.

Moreover,

I was impolite last night.

I should wait no matter how long it takes.

Your Highness,

are you sure

you can go along with Lord Bo?

Why am I

worried about your future?

But previously

on the way back to the Capital,

Lord Bo

treated me nicely.

Then why did he

change suddenly?

Is he

just like what the rumours said?

Suspicious by nature,

fickle

and unreadable?

Did Lord Bo leave a bad impression

on others?

Your Highness!

What's wrong with you?

Can't you speak softly?

Your voice will scare us to death!

What are you

so engrossed with?

It's nothing.

Nothing.

We were just

chatting

to pass time.

By the way, where's Lord Bo?

Why isn't he here

to take our Princess back to the mansion?

His Highness is busy with official business.

It wasn't his intention to leave Her Highness alone.

He sent me

to escort you back to the mansion.

Official business?

Why didn't he say that earlier?

Didn't you see how big the sun is?

I got tanned and nearly melted under the heat!

Look.

This is the future wife

of your Lord Bo.

Imagine the rumours out there

if Lord Bo doesn't come to meet her!

You...

Thank you.

Thank you.

Father.

Your Highness.

Chu Chu.

How are you?

Is the baby well?

[Jing Chu Chu, Lady Yun] I'm well.

[Jing Chu Chu, Lady Yun] The imperial physician advised me

[Jing Chu Chu, Lady Yun] to walk more

to have a smooth delivery.

Great.

That's great.

His Highness.

The wedding gift

for Lord Bo's wedding tomorrow

is ready.

Thank you, father-in-law.

Chu Chu,

since the physician said

you need to walk more,

why don't

you come along with me to Third Brother's mansion?

You can meet Lady Bo, Princess Ma

too.

Get to know her,

okay?

Sure.

I heard Princess Ma

was the lone survivor of her family's massacre.

It's also her first time

in the Capital.

I

had been thinking of visiting her.

This is my first time in Bo Mansion.

I should buy a gift

for Lord Bo and the others

to express my apology for what happened yesterday.

What

should we buy?

I think

Lord Bo will like

lanterns

or pies.

Who

are the one who likes these?

Lord Bo, of course.

Hit him.

Beat him up.

Fatherless child!

You deserve to be hit!

Ask your father to come!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Foolish beggar!

None of your business!

Get lost!

Hit him!

Hit him.

Mo Xiao,

what does His Highness like?

Practicing martial arts and calligraphy.

Practicing martial arts and calligraphy?

Interesting.

Stop it.

Foolish beggar, you deserve to be hit!

Stop it.

None of your business!

Hit him to his death!

Stop it.

Stop it!

Don't beat him up!

Hurry, stop it!

None of your business.

Hurry, let's go!

Uncle,

are you okay?

Uncle.

Child,

are you hurt?

I'm fine.

Hurry, go home

or your mother will worry.

Okay.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Your Highness.

Uncle, how are you?

Your Highness.

Uncle.

Your Highness, what should we do?

If we ignore his plight,

he'll be in a dangerous situation.

Bring him back to receive treatment.

No.

Her Highness,

we don't know about this man.

This is a bad idea.

It is against

Bo Mansion's rules.

In Kuizhou,

we always save our people.

No matter who they are.

We're nearby

Bo Mansion.

I don't believe that

His Highness will ignore

a hurt citizen.

Bo Mansion should shed

its bad image.

Ma Jing.

Take him.

Mo Xiao,

search him

so he won't harm Bo Mansion

temporarily even though his origins

are unknown.

Then, send him back

to Bo Mansion to receive treatment.

Lone survival of a family massacre

becomes Lady Bo.

Isn't this

ridiculous?

I pity our Master.

She's here.

Remember the Master's orders.

Treat the Princess

politely from a distance.

Don't talk

nor interact with her.

Watch her moves

in secret.

You should inform

that fool, Mo Xiao.

Wen Yan.

Hurry.

Hurry, save him.

Be careful.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Wen Yan.

Where is that person from?

A beggar at the roadside.

He was starving

and sick.

The Princess was kind enough

to bring him back

to change

Bo Mansion's image.

How is he?

Your Highness,

this man is fine for now.

He'll be fine

after resting and drinking some nourishing soup.

I troubled everyone

upon my arrival.

It was my idea.

After he gets better,

I'll ask him to leave.

If Lord Bo complains about it,

I'll bear the responsibility.

Mo Xiao will watch over him.

You should settle in.

Your Highness,

this is Hai Die.

She's in charge of your daily life

and will introduce you to Bo Mansion.

Your Highness, please come with me.

I am Ma Jing.

Why is it so quiet?

Where are all the servants?

Your Highness,

not even a flower in sight.

Are the rumours

true?

Underneath...

Lord Bo despises flowers.

He thinks they are vulgar and intolerable.

This is my first time

seeing a garden without flowers.

I think Lord Bo

likes

a simple layout

to feel calm

and quiet.

Your Highness, this way, please.

What is that?

That courtyard

is Lord Bo's residence.

Without permission,

no one can enter.

It's a restricted area.

Restricted area?

Your Highness,

that's your wing right there.

This way, please.

[Yun Mansion]

Sir, please stop!

Sir.

Urgent news.

One of the official slaves

who had been escorted

to the border to build the city walls had escaped.

You don't have to report

trivial matters like this.

Well.

This shouldn't be informed,

but

after the soldiers questioned other slaves,

one of them revealed that the escaped slave

once got drunk and announced

his son is Second Prince.

He must enter the Capital to see his son before he dies.

After investigating, I found out

this man is called Lin Guang.

A few decades ago,

he was a consort's chef

in Bozhou.

He even knew

there was a scar as long as an index finger

on her left calf.

Send someone

to kill

all possible

insiders.

Find

that chef as soon as possible.

Yes, sir.

Hurry, put down the baggage.

You must be exhausted.

By the way, Your Highness,

look.

This is the baggage sent

from Kuizhou.

Your clothes

and valuables are inside.

Here.

Look.

Is this the one?

Is it the one?

How stunning!

Who drew you?

You're so pretty!

This is my mother.

It isn't you?

You two look the same.

Keep it for me.

Okay.

Luckily it's still here.

What is this?

It seems

important to you.

Your Highness,

don't you think

Bo Mansion

is creepy?

And,

what do you think

is in that restricted area?

Since it's a restricted area,

there must be

a deep and dark secret.

Moreover,

Lord Bo is cold

and heartless.

Turns out Your Highness

likes to spread rumours

and gossip

behind other's backs.

I am here

to listen

to your explanation about saving that man.

I didn't mean to break the rules.

I apologise for that.

No need.

I'm used to

your ridiculous behaviours.

My drunk behaviour last night

was indeed rude.

You acted without regard for any authority.

You took in the beggar without asking for permission,

disregarding the mansion's strict rules.

Your Highness,

that uncle

was beaten up

because he was saving a little boy.

He was hurt all over

and fainted.

Our Princess was kind since young.

She can't ignore him,

right?

Will someone kind

talk bad about her husband behind his back

and order people around

recklessly by treating the mansion

as Kuizhou?

You just came in today.

Princess Ma,

do you think

you're the mistress of the house?

I acted out of line

by making reckless decisions.

Please calm down, Lord Bo.

In Bo Mansion,

I make the rules.

You're not allowed to take in people that you don't know.

But, you aren't a cruel person.

Or else,

you wouldn't take care of me when I was

unconscious.

I wasn't kind to you.

It was because

you're the Princess of Kuizhou.

You're different from others.

Plus, I received orders from His Majesty

to take care of you.

As Lord Bo,

you should take care of the people.

I know.

Bo Mansion has strict rules.

But

that man is about my father's age.

I couldn't bear to leave him alone.

If anything happens?

I'll bear the responsibility myself.

Your Highness, please make sure you do.

Don't act out of kindness

because of a moment of pity

then discard it easily.

Why did he

say that?

Like

he knew me previously.

You don't know him.

He doesn't know you too.

And,

he isn't that good

as you imagined.

The man bear grudges

and is petty.

He's full of thorns

that prick you when you go near him.

He can't be blamed.

I was the wrong one.

It was me.

But

This wasn't what I wanted.

How should I solve our rift?

Are the things that we bought

being delivered now?

I'll go out and take a look.

Let me come along.

Let's go.

Here.

Come here.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

these are...

Upon my arrival, I troubled

Lord Bo

and the others.

So,

I prepared some gifts

for everyone.

Mo Xiao.

Just now, you glanced

at this wine on the street.

So,

I bought it for you.

Take a sniff.

It smells good.

Here, take it.

I am

a boor,

so I won't stand on ceremony.

Manager Wen,

I prepared a gift for you too.

I know you're skilled in medicine.

Have you ever read

this medical book?

Wang Shu He's Pulse Classic.

I haven't read it before.

But,

I never receive a reward without making merit.

Your Highness, you don't have to.

Her Highness knows you like it.

Take it.

Hai Die.

I saw this hairpin.

It was really beautiful

and made for you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

But, I don't wear hairpins.

How could

girls not wear hairpins?

Here.

Let me put it on you.

Here.

Look, so pretty.

Lord Bo,

I heard Mo Xiao said

the only treasures in Bo Mansion's collection

are calligraphy

by Suo Jing and Wei Quan, calligraphers of the former dynasty.

Lord Bo, did you know?

Our Princess

was thoughtful.

She said based on your collection,

you must be skilled in calligraphy.

Hence,

she prepared this

Duan inkstone.

Did you know?

When we were buying this Duan inkstone,

the owner kept praising

this inkstone

nonstop.

But, I didn't understand a word.

Duan inkstone is the top inkstone among the top four inkstones.

It is hard but soft.

Like a baby's skin,

it's warm, soft but not slippery.

It has an elegant appearance.

Rubbing the ink stick on it

won't damage the brush.

Wen Yan is reciting again.

Your Highness,

I know

I broke many rules.

Please accept

my apology.

I guarantee to not do it again.

Princess, your apology was grand.

But, a pity that

the collection

is just a decoration.

It's not what I like.

I despise

calligraphy and writing.

Princess Ma,

you're trying to win over them

craftily.

I despise people like that.

Return everything to her!

Well.

These gifts

were prepared

by Her Highness carefully.

She went to many shops

to get them.

They aren't cheap too.

She wanted to

apologise to you sincerely.

You want them to return the gifts.

Isn't this too...

It was my fault.

I should bear all the punishment.

But Lord Bo,

you didn't have to

ruin my sincerity

in public.

Okay.

I accept your apology.

Since it belongs to me,

I can do whatever I want to it.

I want to talk to you

in private.

Lord Bo,

are you treating me

this way because of my rudeness last night

after the granting of our marriage

and the fact I took in the beggar without approval?

Are these

the only flaws

in you?

Lord Bo, what do you mean?

Did I

offend you

elsewhere?

I do have

other prejudices against you.

I can just tell you honestly.

You accepted the marriage

not only because of His Majesty's orders,

but also because of your interests.

Before Ma Feng Cheng left,

he visited me in secret.

He told me

since I and the Ma Troop

are a family,

the affairs of the Court

and their campaigns

should be taken care of by me.

He'll repay me greatly.

But,

according to the law,

it is a felony

for ministers to collude with princes.

Princess Ma, think about it.

Will I

forgive him?

Lord Bo,

to protect the Ma Troop

with our marriage

was my own idea.

It had nothing to do with Brother Feng Cheng.

Princess Ma, you're a clever woman.

To be honest,

you're Ma Ying's daughter.

Who dares to hurt you?

That will only cause the Ma Troop

to attack the city.

Plus,

Assistant General Ma came to me

to feel me out.

What I said wasn't true.

You...

You lied to me!

To reveal your true colours.

A woman who agreed to marry me

for her own interests.

So what if I lied to you?

I agreed to this marriage

because of His Majesty's orders.

You agreed because of your interests.

We have our own goals.

In Court,

I will go along

and act as a couple with you.

But when we're alone,

you and I have nothing to do with each other

as husband and wife.

Please stop

fawning over me.

Lord Bo,

I won't wish for us to cherish and love each other,

but I hope we can live together peacefully.

Please

don't be so distant.

You're ungrateful.

Why should I trust you?

Marriage

is important for women.

I really hope

we can

get along well

to cherish and love each other.

This isn't a lie.

Whether it was sincere

or not,

I'm not interested in it.

Lord Bo!

Does it mean that no matter what I do,

I won't be able

to change your prejudice?

Unless the iron trees blossom.

I'll believe your sincerity then.

Don't waste your time.

It is hard to ask me

to treat you sincerely.

That's all.

You're clever.

You should know what I mean.

Why are you eating a pie again?

You must be

worried about something.

Your Highness,

we arrived in Bo Mansion

today.

But, you and Lord Bo

are in this situation.

How should we

survive here?

Lord Bo feels prejudice towards me.

Looks like

we'll have to resolve it gradually.

But somehow

I feel that

Lord Bo

has an inexplicable hostility towards me.

He must be crazy.

Don't you think

he does that to everyone?

Yes, he might be Lord Bo,

but you're no ordinary woman!

When you were in Kuizhou,

everyone loved you!

Many eligible bachelors

went after you in flocks.

Am I right?

He should appreciate you.

You're right.

Of course.

Uncle.

Uncle, you're awake?

Do you feel

unwell?

Ma Jing.

Bring me some water.

Miss, you saved me.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Where am I?

We're in

Bo Mansion.

This is Lady Bo.

Bo...

Lord Bo?

The Third Prince?

Yes.

Uncle,

don't be afraid.

It's fine.

Greetings, Lady Bo.

Actually, the ceremony isn't held yet.

Why don't

you call me Princess Ma?

Here,

have some water.

Ma Jing.

Bring the medicinal soup over.

Isn't he drinking water?

Manager Wen said

drinking some medicinal soup

is beneficial to his health.

Manager Wen said that?

Sure.

Uncle.

Where is your house?

I can send someone to escort you home.

I'm from Bozhou.

I'm here to find my benefactor.

I hope to thank him

personally.

But

before I could find him,

I had spent all my money

and had to beg on the streets.

Turns out

you're a loyal man

that came to find your benefactor.

Why don't you

rest here

for a few days?

I'll try

to help you

find your benefactor.

Your Highness,

thank you for your...

Uncle.

You're not fully recovered yet.

Rest well.

Your Highness, the soup.

Here.

Uncle.

Hurry.

Drink some of this.

Master,

we're questioning the man

the Princess brought back at this late hour.

Should we

inform her first?

What for?

Although the woman

is living in Bo Mansion,

she isn't my wife yet.

Pardon my words.

But, shouldn't we fix

the inkstone she gifted to you?

I'm afraid this is against His Majesty's wishes.

Why am I

bounded by Ma Zhai Xing?

Uncle.

Our Princess

is famous for

her kindness.

After this,

she'll be Lady Bo.

His Majesty granted their marriage.

You can tell her

anything.

Everyone has to obey her orders.

Master.

If you're in trouble...

It's fine.

She will bring everyone to Bo Mansion...

Throw away that inkstone.

Uncle.

Don't listen to her nonsense.

She loves to boast.

I'm telling the truth.

I don't make the decisions

in Bo Mansion.

Everything requires Lord Bo's approval.

You should thank

Lord Bo for allowing me to do so.

Here, drink the medicine.

Be careful.

[Bo Mansion]

Your Highness, please wait.

Hai Die went to inform our master

of your arrival.

Good. Thank you.

Chu Chu.

Well,

it has been a while

since we came to Third Brother's mansion.

Your relationship with your brother is priceless.

It's a rare blessing.

I am glad you treasure it.

After this,

I'll remind you

to visit him often.

Third Brother.

Second Brother.

Second Sister-in-law.

Third Brother.

Chu Chu and I

were thinking of visiting you and Princess Ma.

So we're here.

Don't blame me for being rash.

You're here with good intentions.

You aren't rash.

It has been over a decade.

You were a young orphan

adopted by

our father.

We

studied and practiced martial arts together.

But, after

Eldest Brother died

and Fourth Brother became Qitan's hostage,

you busied yourself with military affairs

while I was busy with Court affairs.

We don't meet each other that much.

You're right.

Our father said

brothers should help and support each other.

Thank you for your advice.

Third Brother,

you can talk to your brother.

I'll go find Princess Zhai Xing.

Yes.

His wedding

will be held soon.

As his brother,

I should share

about marriage tips.

If you're here,

I can't be

completely honest.

Go.

Wen Yan, go with her.

Yes.

Come on, Third Brother.

Let's sit down and talk.

Uncle Guang,

how do you feel now?

I feel much better.

Much better.

That means

Manager Wen's medicine

worked well.

Your Highness,

this is Lady Yun.

She came to visit today.

Wen Yan.

Manager Wen.

I am Ma Zhai Xing from Kuizhou.

Greetings, Lady Yun.

We're family.

You don't have to

stand on ceremony.

From now on,

let's be sisters, okay?

Sister Zhai Xing.

Yes.

Sister Jing.

This is...

This is Uncle Guang.

He came to the Capital from Bozhou

to find his benefactor.

Bozhou?

Second Prince was born in Bozhou too.

He often told me

to visit Bozhou with him

as he missed the Bozhou dishes

his mother cooked for him.

Greetings, Lady Yun.

Uncle Guang.

Stand up and talk.

Uncle Guang, hurry and stand up.

Well.

Pardon my rudeness.

I was

too excited

to see you, Lady Yun.

Because the Second Prince

is the benefactor

who I wanted to find in the Capital.

What a coincidence.

This is such a coincidence.

Yes.
