[The Wolf]

[Episode 14]

So these eight years were just a nightmare.

Nightmare?

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

Prince of Bo.

Xing'er!

I'm Wolf Boy.

You are not.

You're a tool of Chu Kui.

You and Ma Zhaixing

have never had the fate to be together,

but only the deep hatred that could never be solved.

In order to protect you from being hurt by Chu Kui,

I could only push you away from me cruelly.

Master.

A few days ago,

I was too kind to Ma Zhaixing.

It misled all of you.

Starting from today,

be ready in your position.

No personal affairs.

Keep a distance with Ma Zhaixing.

Commandery Princess has a deep affection for Master.

It's normal that you were tempted by her.

Everything was fine.

Why do you give such an order, Master?

Have you forgotten who the ones were that destroyed Ma Manor,

or have you forgotten that

Ma Zhaixing is just a hostage?

Princess Consort of Bo is just a method of controlling her.

I had nearly forgotten it as well.

I'm sorry to ask if the order is being given

for the reason that worrying Commandery Princess would immerse herself deeper

and hurt herself in the end?

Affection with no happy ending

shouldn't have its beginning.

I was just emotional.

If a mess is caused,

I won't be able to explain to His Majesty.

From now on, both of us will keep a distance.

It's the best option for Ma Zhaixing and also me.

But it won't be easy for Commandery Princess to give up her feelings for you.

Let her see the true color of me

and she'll give up very soon.

[Break (off)]

Commandery Princess, you didn't have enough sleep yesterday.

It's still early now. And you have already woken to make these for His Highness.

Don't you feel tired?

Why do you look so happy?

Back then, I couldn't understand why my aunt always kept smiling

when she cooked for my dad who had returned from an expedition.

But I know the feeling now.

It's a joy to do anything for your loved one.

You've changed!

You used to be competitive in everything you did.

You always strived for your best.

But since you've met with His Highness,

you've become gentler.

Becoming more like a lady.

I've always been gentle.

I just didn't reveal it in the past.

Really?

What has happened?

Where does this paper kite come from?

Commandery Princess, this kite belongs to a kid.

This paper kite dropped onto the roof of the manor somehow.

The kid is crying anxiously at the door now.

I'll take it. Bring me a ladder.

Yes.

- Hold it for me. - All right.

Commandery Princess, be careful of your legs.

Don't worry.

Back then when I was at Langshou Mountain, my tree-climbing skill was tops.

This roof is lower than the trees that I climbed before.

Be careful.

Take it.

The string of this paper kite is broken.

The kid will be very sad if he sees this.

How about this? You head to buy the same paper kite like this one

and return it to the kid?

All right, Commandery Princess.

Your Highness.

You took so much effort just to pick up a broken kite?

I don't wish to see the kid disappointed, so I didn't think much of it.

Although the string of this paper kite is broken, it can still fly

after replacing it with a new one.

Your Highness, have you ever flown a kite?

Commandery Princess, are you talking about a different thing with me?

I'm not talking about the kite. I'm talking about you.

As Princess Consort, how can you be so unrefined?

Did you take the prestige of the imperial family into consideration?

If your behavior just now gets spread by the servants,

His Majesty will blame me for not teaching my wife well.

You're right, Your Highness.

I'll be careful next time.

Please calm down your anger.

Princess.

Your Highness, this is the breakfast that I prepared specially for you.

What's wrong with him?

His Highness probably didn't get enough sleep

that makes him in a bad mood.

Indeed my actions just now were out of line.

Tomorrow, you'll lead the troops and depart to Qitan.

Bring back the agreement of borrowing soldiers as fast as possible.

And also, welcome Fourth Prince.

I obey your order.

By the way, you should bring along Ma Zhaixing

when you fetch You Zhen this time.

Imperial Father, borrowing soldiers is a big matter.

Why should I bring along Ma Zhaixing?

This time, you are going to pass by Kuizhou.

You can go over there with her.

By then, give her some favors.

In this way, your relationship with her

will become closer.

Obey the order for the journey.

You may leave now.

I obey your order.

Zhaixing will be in danger.

I must find a way to have her leave here as soon as possible.

Hai Die, are you preparing the clothes of His Highness for the journey?

Let me do it.

This is my duty.

No need to bother you, Commandery Princess.

Hai Die, I feel that you, Mo Xiao, and Wen Yan

seem to be avoiding me these few days.

Do you all know

the reason why I am being treated abnormally by His Highness?

You're thinking too much into it, Commandery Princess.

Since it's your request, I'll just obey.

Just leave it to me.

You may leave for your matter first.

Yes.

Cloak.

Cloak.

What else?

Calligraphy and copybooks.

Break.

Commandery Princess!

Commandery Princess! Commandery Princess!

Why is this word again?

Why does this word keep appearing in front of you?

Commandery Princess, this word brings you bad luck.

Because of this word, it worsens your relationship with His Highness.

That's just nonsense.

A few days ago, when you were celebrating Double Seventh Festival,

the red string between you and Prince of Bo had inexplicably broken.

Also, this morning, you prepared breakfast for His Highness.

And you picked up a kite with its string broken

which made Prince of Bo displeased.

I don't think those were coincidences.

That's all because of the "broken" word.

It brings bad luck.

Commandery Princess, show me your hands.

- Why? - Just show me.

I told you to throw this red string away, didn't I?

Don't you feel that Prince of Bo has been very weird these days?

That's why I think that it was caused by this broken red string.

I've been thinking about it for some time.

That must have been caused by it!

So, I went to Yuelao Temple (T/N: Yue Lao is the mythical god under the moon that unites people in marriage)

and requested the temple master to retie it.

Besides that, I drew a divination stick there,

praying that Yue Lao always blesses our Commandery Princess

to obtain love from the prince as soon as possible.

Thank you so much, Ma Jing.

Don't mention it.

Hopefully, the Yuelao temple can make the wish come true.

Otherwise, I don't know what I could do to mend our poor bonding

in the coming journey.

Don't worry. Everything will be fine.

Your Highness has returned!

Prince of Bo is coming. I'll go pack up the things for you.

What are you doing?

Recently, Your Highness has been busy with the expedition.

Princess Bao Na has always liked scented things from the Central Plain.

I have prepared a superfine perfume for Princess Bao Na and the king.

The king does like scented things, but he only likes musk.

If Commandery Princess doesn't know this,

your good intention will turn out to be a foolish act.

Fortunately, the perfume that I prepared is musk.

I went to the Ministry of Rites and checked the previous

presents that the court gifted to them in the past.

I learned about their favorites.

I hope that it will be helpful for your mission.

I know that you are very smart.

But women shouldn't interfere with court administration.

It's strictly prohibited according to the imperial rules.

Are you trying to put me at a disadvantage?

I'm sorry for not taking much into consideration.

Don't get mad, Your Highness.

We'll depart by tomorrow.

Although it's an order from His Majesty,

I hope that Commandery Princess won't take it upon yourself

to make any decisions.

Don't disturb any of my affairs without my instruction.

Go rest now.

Yes.

When what should be broken does not break,

it will lead to disaster.

[Yun Royal Manor]

You did really well on the matter of Princess Bao Na.

You managed to help me to withdraw myself.

This time, I still have to rely on you

in assassinating Prince of Bo.

Prince of Yun has just experienced chaos.

Now is not good timing.

Why must you attack Prince of Bo again at this moment?

There's no better opportunity than now.

Prince of Bo's skill is exceptional.

Moreover, he has spies around the capital.

It's not easy to kill him.

But once he leaves Imperial City,

even if he has exceptional skills,

being all alone, he can't escape from me.

It seems that Prince of Yun must take Prince of Bo's life by this time.

I have nearly died once.

Nothing will hold me back now.

You must figure out a way to get into Prince of Bo's troops.

Prince of Bo is very doubtful of anyone.

Do you have an idea of how to hide your identity?

Don't worry, Prince Yun.

There will be someone I know in the troops tomorrow.

I'm confident to make use of her to approach Prince of Bo.

Someone you know?

Will she ruin my matter?

Don't worry, Prince of Yun.

That person is just an entertainment tool and also a stepping stone of mine

along the way to success.

I have seen many capable people.

But I've never met someone

who could be so relaxed while talking about

a plan to assassinate a prince.

Ji Chong, you're either born to be not afraid of death innately,

or of an extraordinary birth to the world.

All you want is the outcome.

Are you going to make friends with me?

According to your plan,

I've already sent someone to keep in touch with a troop of Jin.

Just like what you said, they are willing to ambush him halfway

and join hands with me to assassinate Prince of Bo.

What you need to do

is make Prince of Bo leave the others and stay alone.

And assassinate him.

Come.

After it's done, I'll reward you a lot.

I need a lot of money urgently.

If it's a success,

the amount given has to depend upon my request.

What do you think, Prince of Yun?

As long as you can eliminate Prince of Bo and clear this load off my mind,

I wouldn't regret giving you everything.

How generous you are!

But I wonder about your relationship with that troop of Jin.

How can you make them join hands with me?

That's nothing.

Not only a troop of Jin,

I can join hands with anyone.

I have a bundle of friends from different backgrounds

at any place around the world. We always keep in touch.

Moreover, this is a deal.

I only keep money in mind, not a person.

[Yun Royal Manor]

What an interesting lady!

It's time to play with you.

Master, this is our current location.

We're estimated to arrive in Kuizhou in two days.

Master, can we let the soldiers drink some water before we depart?

As per your order, I've already sent someone to the hostel where we will stay tonight.

How is it? Unexpected, right?

Are you happy? Are you surprised?

It's you.

Why are you here?

I'm here to see you.

Trespassing into the imperial troops is a capital crime.

Are you worrying about me?

- I– - Don't worry. Prince of Bo won't be able to do anything about me.

Don't make a joke.

I'm not here to collect debts today.

Can't you be happy?

How is the road situation ahead?

Master, I've sent a few soldiers to explore.

They will come back to report later.

It'll be a long journey. If you get bored, I, as the horse expert, can tell you some jokes.

You mean, you are a horse expert?

Yes.

Who is that person?

Why is he here?

Master, his name is Ji Chong.

He's a horse expert recruited from among the common people.

He will be in charge of managing the horses and the horse riders of this journey.

By the way, Ji Chong is the one who was rewarded for saving Princess Bao Na.

That's why he knows Commandery Princess. I've checked his background.

Ji Chong helped the court at that time, which breaks the rules of his occupation.

In order to survive, he became a horse expert.

He meets the requirements of the court.

As a horse expert, he should behave well.

As long as you are unhappy along the journey, I'll chat with you.

Your Highness, I have something to report to you now.

- He is Ji Chong. - I know his background.

But the duty of a horse expert is not chatting with Commandery Princess.

Ji Chong greets Your Highness.

Your Highness, I think you've misunderstood him.

He's here to tell us that there's danger on this route.

He advises us to change the route.

That's just one-sided words.

Why should I believe his words?

I can prove it to Your Highness that I'm not lying.

This is Zhui Ri.

It's a very intelligent Golden Eagle that I've trained for years.

A few hours ago, I sent Zhui Ri to fly within a hundred miles and checked the topography.

And I got to know that the road ahead is impassable.

How can you prove it?

Master, the sentries ahead reported to us that the gorge a hundred miles away

has collapsed due to the continuous heavy rain. It's impassable now.

So we have to change the route traveling to Kuizhou.

Ji Chong, you're amazing.

Your golden eagle is really awesome!

Thank you for your praise, Prince of Bo.

It's my pleasure to be able to help Prince of Bo and also Princess Consort Bo.

Wen Yan, spread my order.

Take the detour from the southwest to Kuizhou.

I obey your order.

Apart from being a horse expert,

I order you to use your golden eagle to check the route for us and report it to Mo Xiao.

Prince of Bo, I apologize for having to reject you.

Ji Chong, this is a good opportunity to serve the prince.

Unless Your Highness can give me an extra 50 taels of silver.

Since that's extra work to do,

I would accept it if it earns me money.

100 taels.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Prince of Bo, Ji Chong is very wise and has great martial skills.

Moreover, he has Zhui Ri with him. He can do it. He...

He... He will be able to assist us and we can reach the destination safely.

Thank you for your kind words, Commandery Princess.

But you shouldn't praise another man in front of the prince.

No wonder he's jealous and unhappy.

He's not jealous at all.

He is blaming me for being nosy.

I've been heard that His Highness and Commandery Princess were very much in love.

But why is it different from what I've seen just now?

What happened to both of you?

I've no idea as well.

Maybe I'm not doing well enough.

It would be good if you were not in a close relationship with him.

If not, you would be heartbroken one day when Prince of Bo dies faraway from his home country.

Set off!

[Kuizhou]

[Feudal Master Mansion]

I've been waiting for days.

Is the Prince of Bo and Princess Consort of Bo still coming or not? [Feudal Master Li- New Feudal Master of Kuizhou]

They will be here.

Feudal Master, you've forgotten. It was unplanned to stay at Kuizhou for days.

But it was arranged specially by His Highness

for Commandery Princess. What good intentions!

It can be seen that Commandery Princess Ma is doted on a lot by His Highness.

When one of the family members is crowned, the other family members get the advantage, too.

Although Commandery Princess has lost her home, every place in Kuizhou is the place where she could rely on.

I spent a lot of taels to obtain this position of Feudal Master.

This time, I could meet with the one the emperor favors, Prince of Bo.

As long as I treat Prince of Bo and Commandery Princess to their liking,

I will be wealthy some day.

You are right.

Being nice to Commandery Princess is akin to being nice to the Prince of Bo.

That will bring you more benefits, too.

Your Honor, the troops of Prince of Bo are on their way here.

They are coming? Hurry up!

Get ready to welcome Prince of Bo and Commandery Princess.

Yes.

Greetings to Prince of Bo and Commandery Princess Zhaixing.

It's been a long journey for you to arrive here.

Prince of Bo and Commandery Princess Zhaixing,

you may rest in the Feudal Master Manor. [Feudal Master Manor]

After having a rest, we'll have a welcome feast for Prince of Bo.

You only need to serve me alone.

I will stay in the Feudal Master Manor.

Kuizhou is Commandery Princess's home.

She hardly has the chance to return.

I'm sure she can't wait to return to Ma Manor.

I allow her not to stay at my side.

Your Highness never hides your affection for Commandery Princess.

Such a deep affection!

That's a fortune for Kuizhou and also for me.

Your Highness, this is your first time in the city of Kuizhou.

There's a mountain outside of the city, called Langshou Mountain.

It's known for wolves.

Since Your Highness likes wolves,

would you like to walk with me on the mountain?

I'm not here to have a trip.

If you want to walk around, you may go by yourself.

Prince of Bo, here.

Watching the wolves together?

I can only say that has quite the picturesque charm.

If you were to add watching snakes and eating scorpions,

it would have been perfect!

The way Commandery Princess uses to express love is really fresh and unique!

You make me feel ashamed.

Continue your laughing.

Now, aside from both loving wolves,

I can't think of any other hobbies that we share.

You are too clever and rational

which makes you forget that Prince of Bo is also a normal man.

No man likes their woman to be overly smart.

Then, what kind of woman does a man love?

Men love those very feminine.

Do you mean that Commandery Princess is going to dance the Queen Dance in tonight's banquet?

Yes.

That dance is a sword dance of the troops of Ma

that used to be performed for celebrating success.

But who knows when it turned out to be a common dance for the girls in Kuizhou?

Gradually, it became a dance that must be performed during festivals and welcoming guests in Kuizhou.

I've heard Prince of Bo had once let the soldiers dance it

on the battlefront to celebrate their victory.

Perhaps His Highness likes the behind story of the dance as well.

Feudal Master Li, think of it carefully.

Commandery Princess is the daughter of Kuizhou.

If we could let Lady Bo dance the auspicious Queen Dance,

Prince of Bo would be very happy with your consideration.

You're right.

- Me? - This is a good idea.

- If it's performed by... - Me?

The Commandery Princess herself. It means that the whole Kuizhou is giving blessings for a successful journey.

His Highness will definitely appreciate my wise action.

What a good idea!

How is it?

My idea is not bad, right?

You really know everything!

Unluckily, you miscalculated one step.

Every girl in Kuizhou can dance it gracefully,

except me.

You're the daughter of a general.

Why can't you dance?

My legs were injured before this.

So my dad never allowed me to dance it.

Ma Zhaixing, think carefully.

Prince of Bo is a warrior.

I'm sure he can't resist such an encouraging Queen Dance.

If you can make it

and encourage the troops, and pray for a smooth journey,

Prince of Bo will be very touched

by your intentions.

Commandery Princess, there are still a few hours left.

I believe that it's not difficult for such a clever princess as you to learn.

It'll be meaningful if I can make it.

Not only will Prince of Bo be happy, but I can also bless my dad in Heaven.

Thanks a lot, Feudal Master.

Don't mention that.

Commandery Princess, please.

Go ahead.

Let Prince of Bo put all his attention on you.

So I will have time to do my thing.

This is the seal of Princess Bao Na.

And also a handwritten letter that imitated her handwriting.

Those are the things you requested.

You can be disguised as a soldier of Qitan

and hand this over to Prince of Bo.

Naturally, he will go alone and head to the location where we can ambush him.

[I have something important to tell Your Highness. Meet me at Fuhu Forest. Please come on time. - Bao Na]

By having these things, I can confirm that Prince of Bo will fall into our trap.

You could even get these things.

You're really amazing!

I'm guessing that you're the one who was hired by Prince of Yun.

Why don't you appear in person?

As long as you got the things to carry out your mission,

what I look like is none of your business.

General Cheng,

you and your followers are first-class assassins in Jin.

Promise me not to miss.

You recognize me?

The sound is familiar.

Having the chance to meet with Prince of Bo in the city of Kuizhou

is all thanks to Feudal Master.

Don't mention that.

But I'm still worried about it.

As the three of you had been refused by Commandery Princess Ma for her hand in marriage,

I'm worried if Prince of Bo will get mad because of that.

As you know, His Highness really dotes on Commandery Princess.

You've worried too much, Feudal Master.

It's us who should be embarrassed.

We're here with two purposes.

First, to please Prince of Bo.

Second, to congratulate Commandery Princess Ma for having such good fortune.

She made the right decision to refuse us back then.

Yes. In order to have a better future,

- we can feign stupidity . - Yes.

We're willing to do anything for Commandery Princess Ma.

Young Lords, you are so flexible to the situation.

Young Lord, it will be a very important night

for all three of you and me.

To be a success or not, it all depends on tonight.

You three, I've prepared a special gift

for Prince of Bo tonight.

I'm sure that Prince of Bo will be very happy.

Feudal Master Li, you've worked hard.

We prepared some small gifts as subsidies for today's expenses.

Please accept them, Feudal Master Li.

Master, the three of them were refused by Commandery Princess in the past.

The one who gave money is Young Lord Qi, son of the late minister.

The next is Young Lord Liu, son of the governor of Luzhou.

The last is the descendant of a great general, Young Lord Qiao.

Welcome, Prince of Bo.

There are so many anecdotes about Ma Zhaixing.

Prince of Bo.

Prince of Bo. Please...

Please have a seat.

Be careful.

Your Highness.

The great businessmen and also those from

the wealthy families of the city of Kuizhou are excited to join the festivities,

since they heard this banquet

is going to be held to welcome Prince of Bo.

That's good.

Thank you, Feudal Master Li and every gentleman, for welcoming me in Kuizhou.

I'm very happy tonight.

The court still needs your support,

either financially or providing food in the coming war with Jin.

Prince of Bo, it's our pleasure to contribute

to Your Highness and also the court.

We would appreciate it.

Let's pay respect to Prince of Bo.

Respect, Prince of Bo.

Good wine!

Feudal Master Li, thank you for your effort.

Your Highness,

I've prepared a unique Queen Dance of Kuizhou for you.

It'll be performed by the daughters of Kuizhou,

as a blessing to your victory.

The dance is known for its auspicious blessing.

It suits our purpose.

We shouldn't wait any longer for that. Have a seat.

Music!

Your Highness, are you satisfied with the arrangement?

Great!

Isn't that Commandery Princess Ma?

Commandery Princess Ma is performing the dance for her future husband.

She's so considerate!

Your Highness, Commandery Princess has practiced the dance repeatedly.

She tried her very best in doing it especially for you.
