[The Princess Weiyoung]

[Episode 31]

Your Highness.

Once we get into the city, we can get you a doctor.

Your Highness, I don't understand.

Since Princess Anping is the princess of Northern Liang

is she serious about Prince of Gaoyang or is she using him?

How petty.

I dislike you, but I never thought of getting you killed.

Moreover, we fled here together so that makes us companions.

Now that you're wounded

I won't leave you here alone.

Your Highness!

Young Mistress, Hua Tai is just ahead.

We'd better get going.

Be careful.

We'll go this way.

Young Mistress, wait here.

Who are you? Why are you following us?

It's you?

Let's go.

Cheng An.

Didn't you go back with Prince of Nan-An?

Your Highness.

Wei Young, I didn't return to the city.

Didn't Your Highness say that you never do anything pointless?

Since you already left why would you return?

Didn't you say that we're companions?

How could I leave you on your own?

Moreover, I'm worried about Jun.

It seems that Your Highness isn't always cold and hard.

- So? - Young Lord.

The servant said that there have been violent killings.

Wei Young...

How is Wei Young doing?

Sir, we just received news

that the army of Liu Song has started to attack Hua Tai.

Great Wei's Prince of Gaoyang is in command.

What about Princess Anping? How is she?

There's no news of her yet.

Didn't you send your men to follow them?

How could you not know about such a serious matter?

You've kept it from me...

You never intended to save Wei Young!

Young Lord, don't forget that you're a Rouran.

You're the prince of Rouran.

You kept it from me deliberately.

What exactly is your motive?

- Young Lord! - Please spare him, Young Lord!

Princess Anping is safe and sound.

Please rest assured.

What?

Princess Anping and Prince of Nan-An escaped together.

We have yet to receive news of them so they must be safe.

Young Lord!

Where are you going?

I'm going to Hua Tai.

Why are you going there?

Tuoba Jun is there. If Wei Young is safe, she will surely go to him!

Young Lord!

Step aside!

Young Lord is so concerned about Li Wei Young.

Should Li Wei Young ask you to turn on Rouran some day

would you still obey her?

I have been raised in Great Wei for the past 20 years.

I'm indebted to Great Wei for my upbringing.

If Rouran wishes to attack Wei

I won't stand by and not do anything!

Young Lord is a Rouran!

You can kill me, but you can't stop me!

Step aside!

Where is Cheng An going?

I sent him to seek an audience with His Majesty to explain this.

Once we leave the woods, we'll be in Hua Tai.

Let's get going.

Hurry back to Ping City.

Hand this letter to Chiyun Nan.

You're wrong. I am cold and hard.

I'm not a nice person.

And I don't intend to be one.

The 5,000 soldiers of Hulao have arrived and Linji's will arrive tomorrow.

But that still only gives us about 15,000 soldiers.

The Liu Song army has 100,000 men.

How can we take them on?

Our reinforcements brought rations to relieve us

but they won't last until the court's reinforcements arrive!

Whatever happens, we will have to try and hold down the fort.

Your Highness, the reinforcements from Linji were ambushed by Song

and they were totally wiped out!

Your Highness!

The Song army now has the city surrounded.

We have lost all contact with the outside world.

Your Highness, what should we do?

Your Highness, I've scouted around.

Soldiers of Song are everywhere.

It seems that Hua Tai is surrounded.

Tuoba Jun is now in an even more difficult situation.

We won't be able to get in, Young Mistress.

What should we do?

What do you suggest, Your Highness?

It isn't really that difficult to resolve the current situation in Hua Tai.

There are 200,000 men in the Song army so their rations are depleted quickly.

If we burn their rations

they will have to retreat.

However, there is no way of knowing where the Song army stored their rations.

Moreover, they will be heavily guarded.

How will we burn their rations?

Can we just wait until reinforcements arrive?

Otherwise, there's nothing we can do.

Tuoba Jun...

I have a way to burn their rations!

[Prince of Nan-An's Manor] - Cheng An?

His Highness didn't return with you?

His Highness escorted Princess Anping to Hua Tai.

Princess Anping?

Wasn't my cousin married for the peace treaty?

Why would His Highness escort her to Hua Tai?

What exactly happened?

There was an accident on the way.

His Highness was injured.

He only pulled through because Princess Anping looked after him.

His Highness was injured?

How is he now?

His Highness was shot.

The wound is very deep.

He could have had it treated in the city

but he turned around to escort Princess Anping to Hua Tai.

Miss Li, I still have urgent matters to attend to.

If you'll excuse me.

His Highness was never one to repay anyone's kindness.

He and Li Wei Young... What happened between them?

Why are you catching so many birds?

I have a good plan.

Don't be so anxious, Your Highness. You'll soon understand.

You're wounded so just sit and watch.

Don't worry about it.

Can't you be more careful?

Thank you for saving me, Your Highness.

Tell His Highness that I won't let him down.

Is anyone there?

General, what are you orders?

Pick out 20 killer warriors.

I have a mission for them.

Yes! General, I'm willing to share your burden.

I volunteer to participate in this mission.

The mission in Hua Tai is extremely dangerous.

I think very highly of you and your services.

You don't have to carry out such tasks.

Yes.

- The rations are on fire! - Put it out!

Quickly!

- Get water! - Put out the fire!

The rations are on fire!

It really succeeded!

How did you do that?

I starved the birds for a day

and then sprinkled potassium nitrate on their feet.

Hungry birds would surely seek out the rations of the Song army.

With potassium nitrate on their rations

just a spark of flame was enough to set the rations on fire.

When birds catch fire, they flutter around all over the place.

So the rest of the rations caught fire as well.

- Young Mistress! - Young Mistress!

I aimed accurately!

- We succeeded! - We burnt their rations!

- You did a great job! - Li Wei Young...

Her wisdom is not to be overlooked.

If I could have her

she could surely assist me in conquering the world

and fulfilling my ambitions.

Whatever happens, I must have her.

General! General!

Bad news!

What happened?

Our rations have been destroyed!

Darn it...

Retreat! Retreat!

- Yes! - Yes!

Report!

The Song army's rations have been burned!

Your Highness, the Song army has retreated!

The Song army has retreated!

This is wonderful!

I'm truly in awe of Your Highness!

I'm just really curious how Your Highness managed to burn their rations.

It must have been someone else.

I can't take credit for it.

Who could it be?

I'd like to know who it was as well.

Wei Young?

Tuoba Jun!

Amazing! It really is amazing!

Princess Anping actually came up with a plan to burn the enemy's rations.

I'm very impressed! Here's a toast to Your Highness!

Your Highness is such a heroine!

Here's a toast to Prince of Gaoyang.

If it weren't for Your Highness, Hua Tai would have been taken.

We would all be dead.

Your Highness saved us and Great Wei!

From now on, we look to Prince of Gaoyang as our leader!

To our leader!

I can't take all the credit for this.

If our generals and soldiers had not fought with their lives

how could we have defeated the Song army again and again?

Therefore, I now drink a toast to the generals and soldiers!

Thank you for coming to our aid, Uncle.

Thank you for protecting Wei Young all the way here.

Here's a toast to my uncle.

What is there to thank between us?

I am also a descendant of the Tuoba clan.

I have a duty to protect my home and nation as well.

Bottoms up!

Here! Drink!

We'll drink until we drop!

Jun Tao, try this.

It's so tasty.

Would you like a drumstick?

No.

Don't just keep eating. Here, have a drink.

Ladies, can I drink a toast to you?

Jun Tao, he's drunk.

Nonsense.

I'm not drunk.

Why don't we have a drink, girl?

Here, have a drink!

- Here! - Who's your girl?

Get lost!

There are so many people here.

Don't make me look bad.

Get lost!

Jun Tao! I'm so sorry, buddy!

I'm so sorry, girl!

I don't mean to kiss you! Don't take it to heart!

- I just... - I'll kill you!

Don't! You mustn't!

Don't run!

Stop right there!

- Save me! - I'll kill you!

Why are you looking at me like that?

Are there flowers on my face?

I want to see what my Wei Young has in her brain.

How are you so smart?

You actually thought of using birds to burn the enemy's rations.

How would some common man like you be able to figure that out?

Wei Young, although I've always appeared to be confident about the war

I really don't know how this war will end.

Fortunately, you arrived just in time.

You destroyed the enemy's rations.

Otherwise...

You saved us all.

You saved Great Wei.

I never intended to save anyone.

I just didn't want you to get hurt.

The Song army wouldn't make a move for quite some time.

I'll have someone escort you back to Ping City tomorrow morning.

No, I won't leave.

I have to wait until reinforcements arrive.

I have to stay by your side.

Wei Young, it's too dangerous.

I don't want you to be in danger.

Have you forgotten that you still have more important matters to deal with?

I once asked myself, if I had to choose between you and vengeance

which one matters more to me?

For some time, I couldn't decide on an answer.

Then I realize that I would go all out to save you

if you were injured.

My dilemma of choosing between love and hate

was a lot of fuss about nothing.

Because they could never be compared or measured.

Now, you're a part of my life.

And these times are really challenging.

I could never leave you alone, even if you wanted me to.

We're in an even more perilous situation than you imagined.

I really can't allow you to take such a risk.

Can you understand how I feel?

Have you forgotten about our vows?

In life and in death.

Never shall we part.

I believe that you can overcome all the obstacles

and take me home safely.

This is a safety amulet.

Carry it with you.

It will keep you safe.

It will keep me safe.

I'm safe if you're safe.

Although the main troops have retreated

they left one troop to hold the rear.

This is the Song army's campsite.

I intend to take a team with me to cut through this mountain

and ambush them from behind.

Your Highness, the mountain is steep and hard to climb.

Even if you manage to climb it, it will still be difficult to ambush them!

So, I've made another plan.

This sewer will lead us out of the city.

It seems that my uncle already knows what I have in mind.

Go downstream through the sewer.

That will take us to the right side of the enemy's campsite.

Then we can ambush them from both directions.

And take them by surprise.

We can cause great damage.

Exactly.

As long as the ambush works

we'll have a chance to hold the fort until the court's reinforcements arrive.

I will go with you.

Uncle and nephew will fight hand in hand this time.

Get everything ready.

Stay alert for my order and then we'll head out.

Yes!

Greetings to Your Highness.

What's the matter?

I have to thank Your Highness

for escorting me here safely to see Tuoba Jun.

I'm here to thank you.

This is a safety amulet.

It will keep you safe.

Shouldn't you be giving this sort of gift to Jun?

I gave him one already.

I made both amulets myself.

Thank you.

Why does he seem a bit odd?

I'd like to see...

if your amulet can really...

keep him safe.

Soldiers and generals!

- Are you ready? - Yes!

Tuoba Jun...

You can't come with us.

Why not?

I won't be a burden.

I might even be of some help.

What will a girl do in battle?

You belittle women?

Didn't you compliment me on burning the Song army's rations?

It's different this time.

There is going to be real fighting.

If you come with me I'll have to protect you.

Wouldn't that put me in more danger?

Don't worry. I'll be fine.

Besides, I still have a secret weapon.

What is it?

It's called...

"Keep me safe."

Be good and wait here for me.

I will surely return safely.

- Comrades! - Present!

- Move out! - Yes!

Young Mistress, His Highness is right.

This mission is too dangerous.

I won't let you take such a huge risk again.

Your Highnesses.

There's a cliff ahead of us!

That's the only way through.

It's also the most dangerous route.

Once we get through it

we can sneak up to the rear of the Song army.

Our victory lies in this feat.

Stay alert!

- Yes! - Yes!

Protect His Highness!

Your Highness!

- Your Highness! - Jun!

- Your Highness! - Protect His Highness!

- Jun! - Your Highness!

Jun!

Your Highness!

Call off this mission!

- Escort him back. - We can't call it off.

We only get one chance at it.

- Uncle... - Your injury...

I have to leave the mission to you...

Your Highness...

Your Highness!

I'll leave Jun to you.

Yes.

Jun is so valiant and fearless.

He's indeed my grandson.

You came at the right time.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

- Rise. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

I believe you've heard that Liu Song broke the treaty and ambushed Hua Tai.

Jun defeated their troops with a smaller army and dispirited them.

This is so gratifying!

Crown Princess Consort, the prince redeemed himself

and His Majesty has retracted his decree.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

However, war is perilous.

I'm really worried about Jun.

The descendants of the Tuoba clan should serve their nation as their duty.

How could he act cowardly?

Jun has impressed me greatly with his actions.

You don't have to be worried.

The reinforcement army has already set out.

They should get to the border very soon.

They will attack the enemies valiantly with Jun.

His Highness is too severely injured.

We are short on medication at the border

so we must send him back to Ping City for treatment as soon as possible.

You have to hang in there.

I will escort you back to Ping City.

Tuoba Jun.

You mustn't leave me behind.

Prince of Nan-An succeeded in the ambush!

The ambush was a success!

- Great! Great! - Great! Great!

We brought down our enemy today so I'll give you a treat tonight!

- Long live Prince of Nan-An! - Long live Prince of Nan-An!

You're back?

- Your Highness... - We'll talk later.

What's all the commotion about, Jun Tao?

Prince of Nan-An returned in victory.

The soldiers are celebrating.

If His Highness wasn't injured, he would be the one celebrating now!

Who cares about that now?

I just hope that His Highness recovers soon.

Jun has to be treated back in Ping City.

I have the horse carriage ready.

A group of soldiers will escort him.

There's no time to lose. Set out immediately.

Yes!

I'm going with him.

I want to stay with Tuoba Jun.

All right.

Do as you please.

Your Highness.

Inform Chiyun Nan of Tuoba Jun's route back to Ping City.

He knows what to do.

Your Highness has already defended the fortress.

Once the court's reinforcements arrive

it's only a matter of time until they defeat the Song army.

Your Highness can surely claim the credit.

Once Prince of Gaoyang is dead

no one will challenge Your Highness for the position of Crown Prince.

We've been tricked!

Bai Zhi, run!

Bai Zhi, it's me.

Second Young Master!

What are you doing here? Where is Wei Young?

Come with me.

I thought that His Highness drinks very well.

- Who knew that he got drunk so easily? - Exactly.

Here, lie down slowly.

Let me out! Let me out!

It's so dark in here!

Your Highness!

Your Highness, what happened?

He was a spy.

He tried to assassinate me.

His Highness is in shock.

Drag the body out quickly!

Yes!

Your Highness, this is due to my negligence.

They snuffed out the candle.

Please punish me.

Should this happen again, don't blame me for being merciless.

Yes. Your Highness, can't this psychological issue be cured?

If anyone hears of it...

Get out!

Yes.

According to what you said

you can't bear to stay in a dark and confined space.

If you do, you will suffer great agitation and have trouble breathing.

I have come across such symptoms as well.

It's caused by childhood trauma.

No medication can cure it.

I think that it's a psychological issue.

Seek your salve where you got your sore.

Seek your salve where you got your sore...

Cheng An...

Cheng An.

Cheng An!

What is it, Your Highness?

Send our men out. Whatever it takes, be sure to keep Li Wei Young alive.

Why would you do that?

- Didn't you promise Chiyun Nan... - Need you remind me of that?

Your Highness...

It might already be too late.

Enough of this nonsense.

If Li Wei Young is killed

you can take your own life!

Yes!

Why has he gone so cold?

Tuoba Jun, do you feel better now?

This time, I'll protect you.

I wonder how Bai Zhi and the rest of them are?

Young Mistress, what's the matter?

I'm worried that someone might try to harm His Highness.

What should we do?

There's a cave ahead of us.

I'll take him there with me.

We'll meet up in the cave later.

Young Mistress.

Min De?

Young Mistress!

Bai Zhi, are you all right?

How did you two meet up?

I was pursued by a masked man and Second Young Master saved me.

How about Jun Tao and Cheng De?

Who are you?

I'm Prince of Nan-An's subordinate, Cheng An.

I'm here to escort Princess Anping and Prince of Gaoyang to Ping City.

[Crown Prince's Manor]

Crown Princess Consort.

Go away!

Jun!

Why is he so badly wounded?

What exactly happened?

Please quickly summon the imperial physician.

His Highness is severely wounded.

Quickly!

Carry His Highness inside the manor!

Li Wei Young, it's you again.

Whenever Jun is with you, nothing good ever happens.

Will you only be pleased when you get him killed?

- Your Highness... - Should anything happen to Jun

I won't ever let you forget it!

And!

Don't you even dream of getting near him again!

I understand how Your Highness feels.

However, Prince of Gaoyang's safety matters more than my life.

I won't give up.

You...

Get lost!

Your Highness, it's best that I escort you back home.

Wei Young!

I told you that you would make it home safely.

It's because your safety amulet has kept me safe.

Thank you so much.

Your Highness, if there are no other orders

I will take my leave now.

I heard from Min De that you didn't ever get to Liu Song.

You went to defend the city of Hua Tai instead.

It has been one perilous journey. What exactly happened?

It's a long story.

However, I have to thank someone for my safe return.

Who is it?

It's Prince of Nan-An.

Not only did he save my life, but he also escorted me to Hua Tai.

I thought that he was a very cold-hearted man.

He's actually not as unfeeling as he seems.

I won't stay to chat. I still have to greet Grandmother and my mother.

Then I have to visit Prince of Gaoyang.

Why don't I go with you to visit Grandmother?

Sir, please halt!

Miss Rong Er?

What is the matter?

My mistress would like to know

if His Highness has recovered from his injury.

And... Has he told you to pass on any letters to my mistress?

No.

Has His Highness told you to pass on any messages to her?

His Highness is occupied with military affairs.

He might have overlooked that.

I won't disturb you anymore.

So much has happened?

Fortunately, Prince of Nan-An's subordinate and Min De arrived in time.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unbearable.

This matter has been made known to His Majesty.

The court's reinforcement army is already heading toward the border.

His Majesty won't punish you for your return.

He will reward you instead.

The reward doesn't matter.

What matters is that my Wei Young has returned home safe and sound!

Old Madam has been praying to the gods for your safety.

Since you left, your mother hasn't had a good night's sleep.

It's my fault to have made Father, Mother, and Grandmother worry.

In my opinion, she's just a jinx.

Where she goes, disaster follows.

How could a marital peace treaty go so terribly wrong?

Chang Xi, that's enough nonsense.

How am I wrong?

I'm definitely not as lucky as Chang Xi.

Of course not!

Everyone says that Li Chang Xi has the looks of an auspicious person.

I now bring good luck to my family and I will bring my future husband luck!

Since you're blessed with such auspicious looks

why don't I suggest to His Majesty that you be sent out

for a marital treaty should we come across such a chance again?

Then everything would go smoothly, right?

I don't want to be sent off for a marital treaty!

All right now.

Now that His Majesty has ordered

Prince of Nan-An to lead our army against Liu Song's

I'm afraid that the imperial court might lean towards him if he wins the battle.

It's fine as long as we remain neutral.

It's best not to meddle in such matters!

Wei Young, I heard that Prince of Gaoyang was injured by the Song army.

He's severely wounded?

Yes, Grandmother.

I still have to visit His Highness.

He will surely recover. He will.

Definitely.

Young Mistress.

There's nothing from him at all?

Not even just a message?

Nothing at all...

He put himself in danger to escort Li Wei Young.

Why didn't he send me a letter or pass a message to me?

Could it be that he doesn't miss me at all?

If you're worried about Prince of Nan-An

it's meaningless to keep guessing.

Why don't you ask him yourself?

I'll write him a letter now and deliver it to his manor.
