[The Wolf]

[Episode 39]

Good morning.

I chased him away.

This is Lord Bo we're talking about.

He wouldn't lose so easily.

That depends on how badly hurt he got from the battle of Boxiang.

What is the meaning of this?

Do you think I can't beat him?

At least not winning without being injured.

Why didn't you dress the wound sooner?

I was hoping you would help.

You're leaving without a word.

But I can't return unscathed.

I appreciate this.

What's wrong?

Are you not happy to see me here?

Something that still confuses me.

What happened during the battle of Boxiang?

As you can see,

the Wolfbone Flower caused Lord Bo's defeat.

So when he woke up to find out his troops had been defeated,

he saw that you were unconscious, so he took the chance.

He took you away as his hostage.

He threatened us.

I sent Zhuiri after you.

Then I found your location.

Is that all that happened?

That's all.

It was my fault.

I fell from the horse during the battle of Boxiang.

Blame yourself for overworking over the battle plans.

We should go back.

We shouldn't let others wait.

Come.

♫ The closer we are, the farther we become ♫

Let's go.

♫ We are clearly in love ♫

♫ Yet we gave up our persistence ♫

♫ Hiding in the night ♫

♫ Hiding one's weakness ♫

♫ We are all like trapped beasts ♫

♫ Having no freedom ♫

See you in the next lifetime, Ma Zhaixing.

♫ I stand on the street across from you ♫

♫ Personally burying this warmth ♫

♫ No matter how painful or how much love there is, don't say it ♫

♫ Watching you but I can't move forward ♫

Sir? Sir?

Sir, you must not take this shortcut.

There is a man-eating tiger on the mountain.

Indeed.

The place I am headed for is a den of beasts.

But at least...

I won't have to do the beast's bidding again.

Sir?

This man is insane. He wants to get himself killed.

♫ Personally burying this warmth ♫

♫ My heart is crashing ♫

♫ Can you catch me ♫

My resolve is now emboldened by my success.

Nothing will stand in my way again.

Please inform my arrival.

I wouldn't dare. Please come in.

Imperial Father, I am here.

Father, I've learned my mistake.

I thought being confined to the Imperial Mausoleum was the worst suffering I had endured.

But then I was told

that you had run into danger on the battlefield.

I was so worried but I couldn't do anything.

Then I finally realized...

if I couldn't carry out my duty as a son,

that would be the worst torture the world has for me!

Emperor Father!

I would gladly give up my life to keep you safe.

Please forgive me.

Allow me to be your bodyguard. Let me protect you at all times!

Chuchu,

I have never forgotten the pain

of losing our child.

I only need more time.

Your Highness,

the consort has been praying at the Jiguang Temple lately.

The temple is not far from here.

Perhaps I could request for her to return.

Not for the time being.

Chuchu has a kind heart.

If she comes back,

she will ask for me to save Lord Bo.

We'll wait until I can secure my place in the court and finish off Lord Bo.

Yes.

Once Your Highness becomes the regent, we'll send soldiers after Lord Bo.

I doubt Lord Bo can get away this time.

Juyao sent Zhuiri back with a letter.

The princess is safe.

They are on their way back here.

Emperor Father, in that case, why do you still look concerned?

I am sure you know what worries me.

I've seen so many battles over the years.

This is by far the most baffling battle!

Lord Bo saved the princess right in front of all the soldiers.

Shouldn't they be at each other's throats?

People are starting to suspect the Princess's love for Lord Bo was reignited.

They are worried the princess might become a traitor just as Lord Bo did before.

King of Jin,

the princess is a symbol of belief forged with the soldiers' lives.

But the battle at Boxiang has struck doubts into our ranks!

At this rate,

the soldiers' morale will be shaken.

Emperor Father, once the rumor gets out and ruins the princess's reputation,

the situation will get out of hand.

The sun is scorching. We'll take a break here.

We've been traveling day and night. I didn't notice your face had become red from the sunlight.

You can take my cape.

Never mind.

A leaf will do just fine.

The sun has been scorching lately.

Yet you seem fine with it.

Using the leaf was Lord Bo's idea, right?

Was that too hard to answer?

Yes, he taught me this.

Had I been hurt on the way,

he would have lost this bargaining chip.

Perhaps.

We'll carry on.

People are waiting for you to raise morale.

After all, you are Jin's symbol of belief.

Master, a report came in.

Master, is it from Lord Bo?

What did he say?

"A bond for life. Meet me at Hanshui."

What are you doing?

Learn the truth.

Wolf Boy and Xing'er are no more.

No!

Fortunately...

You came.

I have questions for you.

Did you spare that scout on purpose?

Using Wolfbone Flower was part of your plan?

So that when you died, not only would

Ma Zhaixing not be hurt at all,

she would be overjoyed.

I spared that scout.

I won't keep it from you. You would find out anyway.

You admitted your crime.

Aren't you worried that I came here to capture you?

I have no plan to escape.

You're the Grand Diviner.

Apprehending me is only part of your duty.

In that case, why are we even meeting?

I wouldn't blame you if you chose not to come here.

But since you're here, it means our destinies are intertwined.

I won't lie to you.

I even have a request to make.

Ever since you were a kid you've never bowed down to anyone.

I've been waiting for the lone wolf

to bow down to me and beg me for help.

You've finally done it today,

but I feel not the slightest joy.

Tell me.

What do you need from me?

Chu Kui appointed you the Grand Diviner.

I'm certain you know where Fourth Prince is.

He was imprisoned by His Majesty.

His Majesty covered up Fourth Prince's attempt to abdicate him.

He told me if you chose to come back,

Fourth Prince will be spared.

I am somewhat responsible for this.

Fourth Prince is under house arrest.

His life is at stake.

Which is why I must trade my life to save him.

If you return now you are as good as dead.

My request for you

is for you to take care

of my brother, Wen Yan, and the others after I die.

Chu Kui has always loved my fourth brother.

After I return, a life for a life...

Enough!

Does your life mean nothing to you?

Why should you give up your life for them?

If I can save all of them

with my life,

then it's worth it.

What about Ma Zhaixing?

You've done so much for her.

Does she still not forgive you?

I never wanted her to forgive me.

So you chose to atone for your sin with death?

You wanted to sever your love.

But on the battlefield,

you risked your life to save her.

You clearly–

It's clear that all you cared for was her all along.

Go to Ma Zhaixing.

Fourth Prince and

the Night Fiends

will be well taken care of.

If there was any love left

between Zhaixing and I,

it would only be my wishful thinking.

That is...

the best outcome I hope for.

Yao Ji,

my request

will surely cause you a lot of trouble.

But of all the people in the world,

you're the only person

I can count on.

Farewell. Take care.

Stop!

You said our destinies are intertwined.

If you die,

what should I do next?

Because our destinies are intertwined,

I asked.

♫ Even if there’s another undercurrent rushing over, I won't disintegrate ♫

I am leaving you

with my last wish.

Our destinies are intertwined.

As long as you stay alive, it's akin to me being alive.

♫ Hiding behind you, living forever in a universe you can't see ♫

♫ It won't hurt, it can't hurt, I will be the toughest rock ♫

This dagger was forged using the same meteorite

as Chu Kui's Chixiao Sword.

As I remember,

you love it for its sharpness because it slices everything easily.

From now on,

this dagger will keep you safe.

♫ A hundred years later, a thousand years later, I will be waiting here ♫

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

You told me that our destinies are intertwined.

Yet you want to die first and let me live alone.

I won't grant your wish.

Never.

[Suyang]

You shall not pass.

Please do me a favor.

Allow me into the city.

We have an order from the regent.

No one shall pass through the northern gate.

This gate is only for the capture of Lord Bo!

Use the other gates!

You insolent brat.

Listen up!

I am the man you're looking for!

You... You...

Lieutenant! Lieutenant!

Surround him! Don't let him escape!

Left Lieutenant, it's been a long time.

We once served the imperial court together.

I don't want to make it difficult for you.

Please take me to His Majesty.

I won't resist.

Be cautious.

He is dangerous.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, Lord Bo...

He came back alone to surrender himself.

Good.

Take him to prison.

Yes, Your Majesty.

We welcome your return, Princess.

It has been a long journey for you.

Thank you for your concern.

I am fine.

Juyao has informed me of the situation.

Lord Bo unexpectedly lost the battle.

He took you hostage. It has been a terrible experience for you.

We had failed our duty.

We couldn't stop Lord Bo from taking you.

My King, this is not your fault.

The battlefield is unpredictable.

We have no control over what could happen.

But Ji Chong managed to find me in time.

Lord Bo didn't succeed with his plan.

I wasn't hurt.

We were just informed.

Lord Bo has returned to the palace to ask for forgiveness, knowing he had nowhere to go

after losing the battle.

I doubt he can escape his punishment.

The battle of Boxiang took a toll on the enemies' morale.

We defeated Lord Bo. Chu Kui was heavily wounded.

It's a victory worthy of celebration.

Indeed.

He chose to surrender himself.

He chose to do the vile's bidding.

Lord Bo can go back and beg for his father's mercy.

But he shouldn't have taken the princess.

Thanks to him I had to face the soldiers' and generals' gossip.

Marquis, what happened in the base?

During the battle of Boxiang, the soldiers saw Lord Bo saving you in the battle and taking you with him.

But now you have returned unscathed.

The soldiers are left confused.

They... They thought...

They thought Lord Bo's love for you had been reignited.

Marquis, that can't be true.

Do you mean the princess needed to die by Lord Bo's blade to prove her innocence?

You–

Father, please allow Zhaixing to return to her room.

Let the imperial physician check her health.

She has suffered multiple injuries throughout the journey.

She is exhausted.

Allow me to join the planning of retaliation.

Princess, please return to your room.

King of Jin.

But...

I want all of those who badmouthed the princess brought to me now!

- Ma Jing. - Young Feudal Mistress!

Young Feudal Mistress!

While you're away, I couldn't sleep or eat not knowing if you were safe.

How was it? How are you doing?

I am fine. Don't worry.

We'll save this for later.

Tell me.

What do the people think about my abduction?

It's just some gossip.

You need not pay attention to them.

What do they say?

They said...

They said something about your past relationship with Lord Bo.

It was awful.

Prince, please don't blame the soldiers for their concern.

Lord Bo saved the princess from imminent death.

They witnessed the whole thing.

It's wavered their trust for the princess.

During the battle, thousands of lives were at stake.

The princess was the general of the three armies.

People trusted her with their lives.

In the next battle, the soldiers would be worried that...

Marquis, do you think

Zhaixing was as baffling as Lord Bo,

that she would risk raising suspicion on the battlefield?

Lord Bo...

might still love the princess.

He didn't kill her on sight. He took her away.

Nonsense!

The princess fought fiercely at Boxiang.

She was almost killed by the enemy.

And this is what you think of her?

Father, do you see it that way?

I trust the princess,

but if she is leading the army,

she can't afford to raise any doubt.

Fine.

I get it.

A wedding!

Will it be able to end all the rumors circling around?

You suspect Ma Zhaixing still loves Lord Bo.

You fear it could waver morale.

Let me prove you all wrong with a marriage.

I am going to marry Ma Zhaixing!

Those people have tongues but no brains in them.

Don't be bothered by the rumors.

It's human behavior.

I don't blame them.

I was taken by Lord Bo

and returned unscathed days after.

If it were you,

wouldn't you suspect something?

Young Feudal Mistress, what exactly happened?

I don't understand.

Before the battle of Boxiang,

I know very well what was on his mind.

It was either him or me.

But after the battle of Boxiang,

his actions and behaviors confused me.

He should have killed me,

but he never stopped protecting me.

We faced danger throughout the journey.

I was badly hurt and weak.

I would have died for sure had he not helped.

The cold-hearted Lord Bo was gone.

He was Wolf Boy.

I thought he had changed,

but it seemed like I was wrong.

You shouldn't try to understand me.

You shouldn't try to read my mind.

I've already become a monster you won't recognize.

You need to stay away from me.

You need to fear me.

I can't see his reasons.

There is no reason.

Lord Bo is an enemy of the Ma family.

But when I think about it,

even when he abducted me and had ill intentions,

it's undeniable that he saved my life.

He didn't let me go unconscious and die on the battlefield after falling from my horse.

Right?

That was the case.

But that doesn't change the fact he is the reason people doubt you.

Princess!

This is driving me insane!

They are ridiculous!

The prince...

What happened?

A wedding.

I don't even know if that person would agree.

When did you come here?

When you've sighed for the 371st time.

is this the orange sent as tribute from the South?

Why is the orange so small?

There was a drought this year.

The crop was poor,

so the fruits aren't as big.

It's not as sweet, either.

No.

I think it's good.

The orange is here, so we must accept it.

Many things go against our will.

But those are within our reach.

Why not be content with it?

Maybe you have an option better than the orange.

No.

At this moment, this is the best option.

Just now,

I was told of the people's concern for my abduction.

I blame myself for this.

I told myself I mustn't let them down again.

And there are the soldiers of the frontline.

I can't afford to let them doubt my allegiance.

I am the princess.

I must live for them.

Thank you.

You have helped me so many times.

Thank you for everything you did today.

Thank you for sacrificing your marriage

to preserve my reputation and fulfill my wish.

What I hate the most

is to hear the word "thank you" coming from you.

At a time like this,

why are you still so courteous?

We'll start preparing today, hold the wedding tomorrow.

Are you okay with that?

Sure.

Thank you for being willing to marry Juyao to maintain the soldiers' faith.

King. Prince. Formality is not needed.

But...

Prince, this is rude.

How is this rude?

What's rude is to ruin a person's reputation with no proof.

If it wasn't for them,

Zhaixing wouldn't have faced these gossips.

She wouldn't have to marry me to appease them.

Ji Chong.

I understand my son's concern.

He thinks this isn't fair for you.

I'm not sure what should be done.

I understand.

I don't blame anyone.

What's done is done.

We must resolve the issue.

But I hope both you and the prince will stop thanking me.

Your Highness, aren't these dolls adorable?

They are so cute. Just like you and the prince. Right?

They look good.

Folks from Taiyuan heard the princess and prince were getting married.

They are all celebrating.

I know!

The princess' wedding is great news for the common folks!

Thank you, Heaven and Earth, for letting us meet and fall in love with each other.

Pin it on my hair.

But the color and the pattern don't match well.

It's custom.

But, Your Highness, it doesn't look good.

Just pin it. It looks nice.

Nonsense, it's hideous. See for yourself.

Of course, it looks good. It's nice.

All right! Do as the Princess said.

It's not like she never had a wedding in the Bo Royal Manor–

- What? - A wedding?

She was married?

None of you have ever got married before, right?

Just do as I say.

Doesn't it look nice?

Your Highness, we'll leave you be.

You brat. Don't be so clumsy!

I am fine.

Seriously?

Ke Lang!

Where is the prince?

I don't know.

Is it urgent?

I misspoke.

I made Her Highness upset.

I know the prince likes cheering her up.

Where is he now?

Don't bother him now.

He is quite busy right now.

He's got his hands full with work.

But you just told me you didn't know where he was.

And then you said he was really busy.

I...

He has always been busy.

He has tons of work to do. Right?

What is this?

Nothing! Nothing? Let me see it!

Let me take a look! All right. It's nothing!
