[The Wolf]

[Episode 9] Lord Bo barged into the temple to save me.

Can he come back unharmed?

It's not difficult for Lord Bo to escape unharmed.

The thing is

your opinion on Lin Guang's case.

I knelt in the temple,

thinking about this.

I guessed,

first,

Lin Guang is not an assassin.

Otherwise, he'd rather die

than getting caught.

Second,

if he really wanted to kill himself,

or he knew he would be dead

if he followed

the Prime Minister,

but he still went with him,

that means

he was willing to sacrifice himself

to protect someone or something.

Your reasoning

is almost the same as the master's.

I'm impressed.

Of course.

Our Princess is very clever.

As for

my opinion on Lin Guang's case,

since I was the one

chose to believe his kindness,

then

I'm not gonna force out

the thing he wanted to protect.

I will regard this case

as a pebble dropped in the sea.

You come to me

to talk about this today,

just to remind me

that there are things in the court

I shouldn't trace to the bottom.

Lord Bo warned me before.

And now I get it.

Princess Ma is reasonable,

pretty, intelligent.

You're a good match for His Highness.

Master asked me to invite you

to meet him in the yard tonight.

Yard?

Which yard?

Is that the one

where others are not allowed to get in?

Exactly.

It seems master

sees you in a different

way now.

May I ask if you're willing to come?

No.

These are Princess Ma's

gifts for you.

Since it's her kindness,

take it all.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Don't thank me though.

Master.

Sorry.

Back then,

you were too angry.

So I didn't throw it away.

Will she come on time?

Princess answered,

"not

leave without seeing you."

Princess, please.

Master has been waiting for you for a while.

Thank you.

This way.

Fireflies flitting the hall, mutely he pined away;

The lonely lamp wick burned out; still he could not sleep.

Slowly beat drums and rang bells; night began to grow long;

Brightly shone the Milky Way;

daybreak seemed to come late.

One long, long year the dead and the living were parted;

Her soul came not in dreams to see the brokenhearted.

Your Highness also know The Everlasting Regret.

Bai Ju Yi,

Bai Le Tian.

His name

means easy and relaxed,

yet

he wrote The Everlasting Regret.

I want to know

what he hated?

Can he stop hating at the end?

And do Your Highness have the answer?

The last two verses answered.

The boundless sky and endless earth may pass away,

but this vow unfulfilled will be regretted for aye.

Have Your Highness forgotten

the two verses before of those?

If our two hearts as firm as the gold should remain.

In heaven or on earth we'll sometime meet again.

On seventh day of seventh moon when none was near,

at midnight in Long Life Hall he whispered in her ear,

“On high, we’d be two lovebirds flying wing to wing;

On earth, two trees with branches twined from spring to spring.”

So,

what do you think?

I think

as long as it's in the middle of the night,

when the fireflies are dancing,

anything could happen.

Bai Le Tian said,

If the two hearts remain as firm as the gold,

Even in heaven

they will meet again.

That's the imagination of a poet.

I like this imagination.

And your courtyard, too.

It's just

your courtyard

is so beautiful,

why do you forbid others to come?

Why did you invite me?

Because the sago palm blooms.

You're the first person

to come to my forbidden land.

Do you know

why I saved you?

Because I thought

our betrothal

is all about profits.

So I had

prejudices against you.

Until last night,

I found that

you are indeed

protecting your faith

till the very end,

despite the misunderstandings.

You're a kind and nice person.

Thank you for your kind words.

I have prepared a feast for you.

Please.

I can't drink much.

I'm afraid I'll be like the other night

and troubled you.

You are totally

excused.

That night,

you mistook me for someone else.

Ma Jing once told me

you had a friend as a child,

named Wolfie,

raised by wolves.

I think

he's your close who looks like me.

Your old illness on your legs

is also caused by him.

Wolfie

was an important friend when I was little.

The day we parted,

we both got hurt.

I just had an injury on my leg.

But he hurt badly

due to my deception.

I knew

he might not make it.

But I'd rather believe that

he's still alive.

It's just we haven't met yet.

There's so much I want to say to him.

I just didn't get the chance.

I have many things want to experience with him.

But there's no chance to do it.

How did he call you

when you played together?

He called me

Xing Er.

Xing Er.

All these years,

I always hoped

Wolfie would call me Xing Er again.

But even if he was still alive,

he would hate me.

I betrayed him.

But you didn't mean it.

Your cruelness.

was to protect him.

Even though he's dead,

he would know

you did everything

for him.

He'll be grateful

and guilty.

I know

you are just trying to comfort me.

But I had a feeling that

he had forgiven me.

Xing Er.

Wolfie will forgive you.

Although you

look similar,

you weren't him.

How do you know what's in his mind?

But he must know

you have suffered a lot.

He was gone.

You were kept in prison.

All these years,

do you ever

feel happy?

I was.

Once.

On Wolf Hunt Mountain,

we were running together.

He showed me the wind,

and let me hear the sound of butterflies.

He had meat buns with me

and took the candied haws from me.

Wolfie still likes meat buns.

Really?

What about candied haws?

Yeah.

What about you?

Meat buns.

Yes.

It just doesn't taste good.

Candied haws.

Yes.

It's just not sweet anymore.

It isn't tasty anymore

as I'm eating

all by myself.

I didn't like

meat buns before.

But eating with Wolfie

made it good.

Candied haws

was sweet

with him around.

Back then

the day after you disappeared,

I bought candied haws.

But it was so bitter.

Bitter.

All these years,

all candied haws are bitter.

Bitter.

Not anymore.

Not anymore.

As soon as Wolfie returns,

I won't feel bitter.

Wolfie can't go back.

Just let it go.

You've been blaming yourself for so long.

It's time to put the past behind you.

Live your life.

Was that kiss real?

Or is it just my imagination?

Whose kiss?

You scared me.

What are you doing here?

I'm supposed to be here.

But you, Princess.

You were out all night.

That's not normal.

Tell me everything.

It was a perfect night,

you and Lord Bo

were all alone in the yard.

Did you...

No.

Absolutely not.

I was drunk

and confused.

Drunk and confused?

Well, in that case,

when you were drunk,

you were asking

Lord Bo to kiss you?

I didn't

take him as Lord Bo,

but Wolfie.

Wolfie?

How come?

Princess.

Come on.

You're Lord Bo's wife now.

Right?

How could you

think about other men?

You can't.

You're right.

I shouldn't take him as Wolfie.

Though he's confused

and kind to me,

I shouldn't be careless.

Did you...

Wen Yan.

How do you judge the current situation

and respond accordingly?

I think each has its own merits.

May I ask

who the enemy is?

So I can decide what to do.

Please enlighten me.

Friend or enemy.

Don't you see?

Is it so hard?

I can't believe you and Mo Xiao don't have a plan!

Sorry.

May I ask

Princess is a friend or foe?

Neither of them.

I see.

Master, it turns out

you're picking your clothes

to please Princess.

Don't bother.

Just tell me.

I'll just ask Ma Jing

that

what clothes Princess

likes on men.

That's it.

Right?

Does it have to be a reason to try on clothes?

If so,

I'll give you one.

Besides warding off heat and cold,

warding off wind and rain,

covering our

bodies,

making us look beautiful,

clothes also

show etiquette

and honor.

Are those

enough?

I'm sorry.

Forgive me, please.

Leave it.

You are so unprofessional.

I should have asked Hai Die.

The one on the left.

Didn't he wear this the day before yesterday?

Maybe he likes it a lot.

Master.

You refused to obey the imperial edict for her,

then invited her into the forbidden yard.

Does this mean

you will obey the imperial edict

and considered her as your wife-to-be?

Then shall I still

keep an eye on her?

Don't watch her like a criminal.

But keep her safe.

I went to the palace to rescue her,

Father knows it.

But rumors are already spreading in the court.

Many enemies have been hiding in the shadows,

waiting for their chances.

They dare not hurt me,

but Ma Zhai Xing.

I will send Ye Sha

to know

the whereabouts of the court ministers.

Listen up.

As long as she's

my princess consort given by His Majesty,

I will keep her safe.

Yes, Your Highness.

Wen Yan.

Did you get the things ready?

No offense.

But will Princess like this gift?

She will.

Lord Bo asked

you to go to the training field.

Princess.

After last night,

you should be closer

to Lord Bo.

Why are you nervous?

That's exactly

the reason

why I'm nervous.

When we meet later,

it'll be so awkward.

Princess, where are you going?

Come back!

His Highness is not afraid.

What are you afraid of?

Is he handsome?

Princess, look.

Your future husband

is so brave,

so fascinating.

Come out.

Come out, Princess.

Calm down.

Three moves will be all.

Don't be shy.

You are here.

You must be curious

why I asked you to come in the early morning.

Martial arts can help you defend yourself

and make you strong.

It's good for your leg.

You want to teach me martial arts?

How do you know

I've always wanted to learn to use weapons?

But my mother disapproved.

So I never got a chance.

I'm glad you like it.

Come on.

What kind of weapon do you like?

Be careful.

A long weapon isn't suitable for you.

Pick something else.

Please help me choose one.

Wen Yan.

Yes.

You prepared it for me.

It's a wolf bow.

My collection.

It's to return your favor.

What's more,

bows and arrows can shoot targets far away.

It's perfect for you.

It's a beautiful totem.

Must be pretty expensive.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Come here.

How did master know

Princess

would love it?

Look at them.

Master

is teaching Princess how to shoot,

or are they courting?

It seems that

you're talented.

I have a good teacher.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Come with me to the palace.

I found an imperial physician

to treat your leg.

Doctor.

Princess is delicate

and afraid of pain.

You'd better be careful.

Yes.

Your Highness.

It's okay.

Go on.

Princess.

It's done.

Is it possible to cure

Princess's leg?

Lord Bo.

It's been long hurt.

Her muscles, blood, and bones are weak.

The right leg is worse than the left.

But luckily,

Your Highness saved

her knees,

or else, the consequences would have been dire.

I want you to do everything you can.

Yes.

I'm sure I'll do my best.

But Princess's legs

are too hard

to cure.

Fortunately,

it doesn't affect her daily life.

I'm going to prescribe

some medicine.

Once a day

and have it for a month.

Remember

not to give pressure to

your legs

during the course of

the medication,

like riding a horse.

If you get hurt again,

it'll be worse.

Your Highness.

If there's nothing else,

please excuse me.

Did you hear

what the doctor said?

It's an old illness.

All these years,

I've seen many doctors.

They all said the same thing.

I can even recite.

I will go to ask around

and find excellent physicians.

The world is big out there.

There must be someone who can cure your legs.

It wasn't your fault.

Why would you

do so much for me?

Because you are betrothed to me.

It is my duty.

You will do your duty.

And I will do mine.

I'll try to be

a competent wife.

Your Highness.

His Majesty

asked you

to meet him in the Royal Library

and discuss the emissary's visit.

Get some rest.

I'll be right back.

Father has summoned me.

He'll be here in a minute.

How are Princess Ma's legs?

Is it okay?

Yes.

How are you?

I'm standing right in front of you.

I'm fine.

Or do you think

I'm the one who's supposed to be badly hurt?

It's me who found out

the truth of Ling Guang's Case.

Well done.

Though it's late, will you accept

my apology?

This case almost jeopardized

the innocent Zhai Xing.

Thank God she's fine.

Or I'd surely

make you explain.

Your Majesty's here.

Greetings, Father.

Those are the memorials

from the ministers in the levee.

They all plead on your behalf, Lord Yun,

begging me to allow you to

take credit for your crimes.

I'm flattered.

But my words are to be taken seriously.

I've asked Lord Bo

to greet the Minister from Qitan.

If you really want to make a good deed,

you may assistant him.

I'd like to see that.

Lord Bo.

What's your opinion?

Father.

Second brother's diplomatic genius

has always been better than me.

If he's willing to help me,

it'd be great.

You Gui.

What do you think?

I made a terrible mistake.

Yet father and third brother

would like to offer me

a chance to redeem myself.

I will not dishonor you.

I'll try my best to help.

Very good.

Five days later,

a little princess

will come instead of

an ambassador.

Three years ago,

you sent You Zhen to Qitan.

Have you seen her there?

Father.

Princess Bao Na

is like an old friend.

She is the favorite little princess

to the King of Qitan.

When I was there,

I saw with my own eyes

that the king

listened to whatever she said

and favored her.

Father.

I think

taking good care of Princess Bao Na

will help us in borrowing manpower

from them later.

Got a point.

Girls

are indecisive

and soft-hearted.

Lord Bo.

I command you to be polite

with her.

Don't piss her off.

You two

should make it done.

As for borrowing manpower,

I will not allow

failure.

Yes.

Your Highness.

I ask you to wait inside.

Why did you come out?

I've rested for a while.

I came out after

taking the medicine.

Don't be nervous.

Greetings, Second Prince.

No need to be polite.

Didn't you meet His Majesty

to discuss the coming ambassador?

Why so glum?

Anything wrong?

No.

It's just

the coming ambassador

is actually Princess Bao Na.

Isn't that better?

It means the King of Qitan

takes this visit seriously.

I am afraid

she comes for personal matters.

Does she have something to do

with Lord Bo?

Not

at all.

Years ago,

third brother and I

sent fourth brother to Qitan.

The young princess

fell in love with him at first sight,

and asked the king to

allow her marrying him.

If it weren't for their traditions,

I'm afraid they would have

an engagement back then.

Unexpectedly,

the cold-faced Lord Bo

is so popular.
