[The Wolf]

[Episode 32] You're in Qitan.

Do you plan to take her life here?

King of Jin chose this timing to announce the existence of Princess Ping Yuan

because he wants her to stop living in hiding.

I am helping her overcome her fear.

You shouldn't be concerned.

I think King of Jin miscalculated.

Princess Ping Yuan is no longer young,

she seems frail.

Are you sure she can rally the leaders?

She might as well keeping hiding and struggling.

Zhai Xing, take the Princess and leave.

Lord Bo.

Princess, fear not.

I merely have a piece of advice for you.

Do you see the old drum at the corner?

Do you see it?

Do not make yourself a pawn.

When the King of Jin conquered the world,

your fate will be just like that drum,

you will be abandoned and left to die.

King of Jin is a man of honour.

My fate will not be the same as that drum.

Lord Bo, you should stop wasting your time.

Princess Ma, Prince, let's leave.

Yes.

Third Brother, how can you find it funny?

I am terribly distressed!

We're supposed to defeat them,

but suddenly this Princess Ping Yuan came out of nowhere.

This Princess Ping Yuan is an imposter.

So?

Did Princess Ping Yuan arrival stirred up some trouble for Lord Bo?

Everything is as King of Jin expected.

The King of Qitan never forgot her kindness to him.

He has changed his mind about us.

He treated us politely.

This is great.

Do you see the old drum at the corner?

Do not make yourself a pawn.

Your fate will be just like that drum,

you will be abandoned and left to die.

King of Jin is a man of honour

My fate will not be the same as that drum.

Ji Chong, what are you doing?

She is an imposter.

She is not the real Princess Ping Yuan.

That old fool tricked us all!

General Li. Now is the time to joke about this!

How do you know?

Our plan was supposed to be flawless.

So you knew she is a fake?

You were working with the old man?

Ma Zhai Xing. You're toying with unspeakable danger.

This is the only chance to thwart Lord Bo's plan.

I must take a leap of faith even if it cost my life.

Lord Bo noticed she was an imposter.

He knows.

How can he know?

Do you know why he mentioned the drum at the corner?

The drum at the King's tent is no ordinary drum.

It was given to leader of Qitan by the past ruler of previous dynasty.

It's a symbol of the King's power.

It's an heirloom.

A princess from that said dynasty

failed to recognize the drum from her own nation,

she acted like it meant nothing.

The Princess lived in hiding, she doesn't know politics.

It's normal she didn't recognize the drum.

You can use this as excuse,

but as the King knows, the Princess knows much about Qitan.

How could she not know this important detail?

Even if Lord Bo doesn't expose her,

he must have suspected Ping Yuan's identity.

The military aid is at stake,

Lord Bo won't give up until he finds the evidence.

Third Brother, that was impressive!

You used an old drum to bait that fake princess.

Zhai Xing and Ji Chong didn't notice anything.

But there's something I don't quite understand.

Third Brother, when did you realize the princess was an imposter?

Intuition.

That's why I must test her.

That's very observant.

She is a princess, how could she not remember the drum from her own dynasty?

It's true Qitan has diplomatic relation with the dynasty.

But past Qitan Kings has been displeased with the oppressive relation.

That's why they chose to side with us.

If Ping Yuan uses the drum and her past with Qitan to incite sentimentality,

King of Qitan might change his mind.

But how can we convince the King she is an imposter with a drum?

We can't.

It was merely my first suspicion.

We need firm evidence.

There is no firm evidence.

Only the King has ever seen the real Princess.

Everyone else who did is probably dead by now.

There is.

Chu Zhen the painter.

Back then my father didn't slaughter all of the servant of the past dynasty.

Some of those not involved in the imperial court were spared

to continue their service in the palace.

Chu Zhen was one of them.

Now that you said it,

I do have some memory of it.

When I was young there was indeed an old painter in the palace.

But that painter left years ago.

Do you actually know where he is right now?

He is in Shenzhou.

Father has sent men to keep watch on him.

Master. Shenzhou is one of the cities nearest Qitan.

Even with fast horse it will take one day for the trip.

Bring him here.

Make it back before the coronation ceremony.

Remember, keep a low profile.

Do not let Ma Zhai Xing and her men spot you.

Yes, consider it done.

Third Brother. Are you planning to expose that fake princess during the ceremony tomorrow?

Yes.

But Princess Ma will be held accountable.

Hai Die, don't be silly.

Remember, Ma Zhai Xing has Bao Na to back her up.

With that crazy Bao Na around, the King would probably only lecture her.

In worst case, the would only be banished.

The Fourth Prince is right.

I was being silly.

I thought that old man changed his mind

and allowed you to make up for your mistake.

But it was the other way around.

That's why no officers from Jin came with us.

That old man has this planned all along!

If our plan was exposed, he could absolve himself of any responsibility.

He could make you the scapegoat.

Ma Zhai Xing. That old man set you up!

No.

King of Jin had told me the risk of this plan.

I made the decision myself.

I will order Liu Xin to impersonate Princess Ping Yuan and go to you.

I understand.

I appreciate the honesty.

But I have decided to follow your plan and travel with Liu Xin.

I will never forgive myself if Chu Kui succeeds.

This mission is full of perils.

If Princess Ping Yuan's identity is exposed,

you will be the only one held accountable.

You must not put the diplomatic relation at risk.

Are you certain about your decision?

I've made up my mind.

I only hope that you will treat the Ma Troop well.

Certainly, I will.

Desperate measure needs perfect timing.

If we missed the timing, nothing would work.

I knew the risk,

but I must take the chance.

You sound just like that old man.

Who is this girl here?

She is Liu Xin.

She was Princess Ping Yuan's personal servant.

So she knows about the Princess' past with the King.

Years ago, King of Jin found out who she was.

So she is used to impersonate Princess Ping Yuan.

He thought that one day this disguise might be useful.

The old man always plans ahead.

Life means nothing to him.

This really looks like his doing.

General, Princess.

As the General expected, Mo Xiao has left in secrecy.

I was planning to follow him, but that would alert him.

So I returned.

So Lord Bo has made his move.

He must have someone spying on us.

Even if we escape now, it will be too late.

But we can't just wait and do nothing.

Princess. Maybe we could ask Princess Bao Na for help.

No.

We've troubled her too many times.

We must not let her know this plan.

Zhai Xing is right.

For now, we must pretend nothing has happened.

We cannot let Lord Bo see through us.

After nightfall,

I will intercept the evidence Mo Xiao brings back.

But General, we have no idea what their plan is.

How do we stop it?

They will pass Wu Town to reach Qitan.

Wu Town is a small town.

After nightfall,

I'll wait for him to arrive.

It doesn't matter what evidence Lord Bo has to expose us,

I must sabotage it.

Without evidence,

it's only Lord Bo's words against ours.

Ji Chong. Liu Xin's safety is in your hand.

If I failed to stop him,

remember, you must deny ever being involved.

What about Liu Xin?

The King of Qitan will never spare her.

When she became the King of Jin's pawn,

she should have been ready for this.

She knew the risk.

I...

Liu Xin.

Ji Chong has never failed.

He will stop their plan.

Ji Chong. I will distract Lord Bo

so you can leave unnoticed.

- Brother Ye Han. - Yes.

Take care of Liu Xin.

Yes.

Stay cautious.

Don't worry.

This time, I won't be bested by him again.

Third Brother, come. Try this wine.

Take this as an early celebration.

I'll pass. I need to stay alert tonight.

Third Brother, you're being paranoid.

There is no way Ji Chong would know you sent Mo Xiao to find the painter Chu Zhen.

Not to mention you have Hai Die watching them.

Nothing can go wrong.

Ma Zhai Xing is no match for your wits.

Do you really have so much faith in me?

Of course.

Ma Zhai Xing admires you.

She couldn't even bear to kill your wolf.

From what I see, she will forever be bested by you.

Master. Ma Zhai Xing left her tent.

She went into the King's tent.

We'll use that drum tomorrow to expose Ma Zhai Xing.

But she entered the King's tent?

Did she notice anything?

Zhai Xing. Kindness is your greatest weakness.

I must hone you to make you strong.

General.

Well?

Princess Ma entered the King's tent, Lord Bo went after her.

But his men are still watching us.

Now is our chance. You must be on your way to intercept Mo Xiao.

Very well.

Our plan is jeopardized

because I fell for Lord Bo's trick.

Prince.

Prince! I want to live.

Zhai Xing and I will keep you safe.

Next, we must count on Zhai Xing to stall Lord Bo.

Why are you here?

Why are you wiping the old drum for no reason?

Are you doing this out of guilt?

Or is this to salvage your plan?

Answer me.

Would you still believe anything I say?

I Can judge for myself.

The Princess ordered me to confirm if this drum was a present from the past dynasty.

Because it was covered in dust, not to mention your threats,

Her Highness couldn't recognize it.

Stop making excuses.

Do you think cleaning the drum

will keep the King from finding out the Princess is an imposter?

It's futile.

I knew you wouldn't believe even if I told you the truth.

Perhaps you should believe your own two eyes.

Between killing and mercy,

I chose mercy for your wolf.

But do you know why I spared it?

No one asked for your mercy.

Your soft heart will only make you fail beyond any hope.

That's why we are different.

It is what separates Jin and Yang.

I learned to show mercy from Ji Chong and the King of Jin.

Even if I hold a grudge against you,

I mustn't hurt people or myself out of recklessness.

I believe righteousness will always prevail.

Jin's fate is like it past dynasty.

In the end,

Yang will destroy it!

How dare you!

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

Let go!

You sneaked into the King's tent, this is action of a thief.

I will bring you in myself!

Stay away from me! Stay away from me!

Lord Bo, Princess Ma.

Why are you here?

Well...

Princess, Lord Bo, don't you know the belts you're holding

are meant for the Festival of Fire Dance.

The King will wear the belts for all the lovers in this world.

Granny, I didn't mean disrespect.

I hope you understand.

This must be destiny's arrangement.

Impossible!

But... Why were you two holding the belt at the same time?

Lord Bo, may I ask,

did you tie the belt to Princess' Ma's hand?

Lord Bo. Please follow our tradition

and tie the belt for her as to complete the ceremony.

Otherwise the King will be upset when he finds out.

Are you really going to do as she said?

Just get this over with.

I don't want her to keep nagging at me.

♫ Used to the depth of the darkness ♫

♫ No matter how wild, there is no fear ♫

♫ Waiting for a star to fall to see who its afterglow will illuminate ♫

♫ Of the same kind as the banished ♫

♫ Hiding the loneliness in defense ♫

♫ But gentleness is always invincible ♫

♫ I am already used to viewing from high above in the mountain alone ♫

♫ Don't need any vast fame and power ♫

♫ During the day, sunlight lights up the road I walk on, at night, my vision illuminates it ♫

♫ Except for the numbing solitary that makes me lose miserably♫

♫ I have yet to encounter any challenge that I find difficult ♫

♫ Even going against the tides, my vision is still steady, manners is still fierce ♫

♫ I tell myself to keep pushing on by feeling, it’s history in the making ♫

♫ Climbing mountains and cliffs ♫

♫ I’m earth-shatteringly alone, with no purpose and no worry, just so I can push on harder ♫

♫ Who am I if I didn’t meet you? ♫

♫ Who am I without you? ♫

♫ Without you, it does not matter who I am ♫

♫ Used to the depth of the darkness ♫

♫ No matter how wild, there is no fear ♫

♫ Waiting for a star to fall to see who its afterglow will illuminate ♫

♫ The banished, waiting for someone the same ♫

♫ Hiding the loneliness in defense ♫

♫ But gentleness is always invincible ♫

♫ I waste away aimlessly and without anyone urging me ♫

♫ A homeless drifter's delusional wish of finding a place of belonging ♫

♫ Have long since lost the destination, like a lone goose flying in circles ♫

♫ Just before I was about to give up ♫

♫ You suddenly appeared, bringing me light ♫

♫ Letting me find the way in the endless darkness ♫

♫ No more hesitation, no more looking all around ♫

♫ You took away what I care about and all my attention ♫

♫ But let me know who I am and give me a destination ♫

♫ Who am I if I didn’t meet you? ♫

Stay calm, Ma Zhai Xing.

We're only one step away.

I must stall Lord Bo so Ji Chong could get away safely.

♫ The pupil is no longer black, white or grey ♫

♫ Indifference is the suppressed sorrow for the person inside the armor ♫

♫ A drop of tear could destroy it (You took away what I care about and all my attention) ♫

♫ Refusing to compromise with fate because my heart has a home ♫

♫ It's yours; I don't belong to anyone else ♫

♫ But let me know who I am and give me a destination ♫

♫ When a puppet hanging on a string ♫

♫ has experienced warmth ♫

♫ The pupil is no longer black, white or grey ♫

Congratulations, Princess Ma, Lord Bo.

You exchanged your token of love, and now your love

will forever be blessed.

Granny. I'm not feeling very well, may I leave now?

Just now I think I might have contracted some very nasty filth.

Thank you for helping.

Thank you for playing along with my plan to stall Lord Bo.

Earlier I had mistaken you for a servant, I feel so sorry for it.

So I didn't ask and played along to stall Lord Bo.

However not all of it was fake.

The green and white belts

are indeed meant to bless all the lovers in the world.

But Lord Bo and I are never going to enjoy the blessing.

Master, we got the target.

Let's go.

Brother Ye Han. Did Ji Chong get away?

- Brother Ye Han? - Princess!

Bad news, Princess.

Where is Liu Xin?

She told me she was retrieving belonging from the tent.

She never came back so I went after her. But she was long gone.

Princess. Did she escape fearing our plan might be exposed?

Let's not draw any conclusion.

Let's split up.

Why are you here?

The person you want is with me.

Bring her in.

Let go of me.

Princess!

Ma Zhai Xing. You put up a good play in the King's tent.

You managed to distract me.

But sadly, your girl here made an error.

She jeopardized your plan.

It seems like Ji Chong has left the place for nothing.

What do you want in exchange?

It wasn't easy catching this imposter.

Of course I must present her to the King.

The alliance is at stake.

If you were me, would you let her go?

Move!

Stay still!

Stay still!

Stay still!

- Princess. - Liu Xin.

Liu Xin!

Stay still!

I thought you would let her go.

I told you I would accept your punishment!

I never said anything about releasing her.

For old time's sake, I'll spare your life.

Bring the bow here.

Stay still!

Ma Zhai Xing.

Your subordinate betrayed you.

I'll give you a chance to execute her.

I'll plea to the King

and tell him you were tricked by the King of Jin,

that you knew nothing.

No.

Even if she was spared,

being an imposter is enough to warrant execution by the King.

Please. Let her go.

She is innocent.

I won't run away.

I'll surrender myself to the King.

Please, spare her life.

- Ma Zhai Xing. - Please.

Your soft heart won't give you the strength to kill me!

Don't you want to avenge your family?

Pick up the bow now!

This is my doing.

I won't let her pay for my mistake.

How honourable of you.

Your honour is to die in other's stead.

- Hai Die. - Yes.

Watch them closely.

Bring her in.

Master. Should we apprehend Ji Chong?

Don't bother.

Mo Xiao can deal with him.

Take them away.

The King will deal with them tomorrow.

Princess!

- Princess! - Liu Xin!

- Save me! - Liu Xin!

Save me! I don't want to die!

Move! Stay still!

Princess! Save me!

You talk about getting revenge.

What did you do? What can you achieve?

You have your chances to take my life.

You could have killed me while disguising as servant.

Bao Na had me trapped, but you didn't shoot me.

You missed your chances and allowed me to retaliate.

Because I'm not like you!

I am not a scoundrel.

I won't take advantage of your struggle!

You conspired with the King of Jin,

you used an imposter to trick us.

Ma Zhai Xing. You failed so terribly because of your own doing!

This is all your fault.

You killed my family.

But you saved me!

It was you who made me so miserable!

It was you who make revenge my sole purpose

and live this miserable life!

This wasn't who I was!

You turned me into this monster. It was you!

You are still not strong enough.

You are not the enemy I was hoping for.

I hate you.

I hate you!

I hate you!

♫ love remains ♫

♫ I cannot make your heart move ♫

♫ so I can only pretend to be moved by my own persistence ♫

I am tired of that.

You can hate me all you want.

But you will forever be bested by me.

Your father, your family,

they will never rest in peace because you're weak.

♫ Can't dream, won't dream, ♫

♫ I was born with no flesh and blood ♫

♫ Not gentle, ♫

♫ cannot be sad, you don’t need to understand ♫

♫ A hundred years later, ♫

♫ a thousand years later ♫

I am not defeated.

I will kill you.

I will end you life to avenge my father,

and Liu Xin will be saved!

Third Brother!

Fourth Brother!

Fourth Brother!

Third Brother. Save me.

I don't want to die.

I don't want you to be alone by our father's side.

I am in pain. Third Brother.

Fourth Brother. Stop talking.

I won't let you die.

Master, the imperial physician is here.

Physician, save him!

Yes, Third Prince.

Chu You Wen. I proved it to you.

I am capable of killing you.

You Zhen. You mustn't die.

Painter, are you all right?

How can I be all right?

You're riding so fast and rocking up and down!

My bones are scattering!

Stop tormenting this old man!

There is an inn up ahead.

[Wu Town] We'll get some rest there.

[Wu Town]

Let's take a break.

So Lord Bo's evidence is the painter Chu Zhen.

Gentlemen, staying for the night?

Gentlemen, this way.

- Come in. - Sure.

Painter. Take a rest here.

I'll be in the next room. If you need help, just call me.

Sure.

Stay quiet.

Tell me. The person on your painting,

is it Princess Ping Yuan?

But... How do you know?

Hand over the painting if you wish to live.

Sure. Sure.

Here.

Behave and stay still.

Help! Save me!

Help! Help!

Hurry! Go after him!

Someone took the princess' painting!

Just as Lord Bo expected.

They really have a guilty conscience.

However...He can take the painting with him.

After all you have the skill no one else possesses.

You can draw the same painting again as long as it was your own work.

Right? Painter?

I can do that.

Why does Princess Ping Yuan look like this?

Sister Zhai Xing! Sister Zhai Xing!

I was told You Zhen was shot.

What happened? Who tied you here?

I shot You Zhen by accident.

How did that happen?

Sister Zhai Xing. Don't worry.

I sent the priest to treat You Zhen's wound.

He will be fine soon.

Princess. I must take the perpetrator Ma Zhai Xing with me.

Where are you taking her?

To Lord Bo's own kangaroo court?

You are on Qitan's land!

We don't allow lynching here!

Your Highness, it's not Lord Bo she will face,

but the King.

Ma Zhai Xing.

How dare you trick me!

How dare you!

You've made me the world's greatest fool!

Brother. It's your coronation today. Please calm down.

Silence!

She impersonated Princess Ping Yuan. I won't forgive her!

My King. The plan was my idea.

Please take my life.

Brother! You mustn't execute Sister Zhai Xing!

She is my best friend!

If she dies, I will die with her!

Ma Zhai Xing.

Your life is in Lord Bo's hand.

I don't care what he wants with you.

But the other sinner will not be forgiven!

Take her down!

Lord Bo.You wouldn't kill Ma Zhai Xing, right?

She had the bow in her hands, but she didn't take the shot.

Had she killed me sooner,

the circumstances would have been different today.

Mercy for the enemy is cruelty for one's self.

Ma Zhai Xing. Have you learnt from this lesson?

You Zhen has a kind heart.

When he wakes up only to find out you killed Sister Zhai Xing, he will hate you for life!

Then wake my brother up!

Move aside!

No!

Bao Na. Stand aside.

It's time to end

this grudge between us.

Bring my sister out of here!

Princess, please.

Brother!

Take her away!

A life for another.

That's only fair.

But my family was slaughtered!

Whose life should I take?

Blame yourself for it.

You failed to kill me.

Guards, take Ma Zhai Xing to her cell!

Stop!

My King. Are you really letting Lord Bo kill

the daughter of your benefactor?

Who is this benefactor you speak of?

Princess Ping Yuan of course.

Ma Zhai Xing is the daughter of Princess Ping Yuan.

You just tricked me with an imposter.

Your plan was exposed, and now you're saying

she is Princess Ping Yuan's daughter?

Do you think I would fall for your trick yet again?

Here is the proof.
