Episode 8

Madam.

Madam, we can't do this.

General has ordered us not to meet his son in private.

Madam, don't be mad. -The son of the general...

...is training at the army camp. It's so disgraceful.

Madam, don't be mad. Young master will be back after a few days.

Do we still have to wait? -Madam, no.

Who are you? -Greetings, Aunt Hong.

What did you call me?

Aunt Hong. My mother is Tian Ruolan.

My child, it's you.

You've grown so much. Come and let me have a good look.

Let me have a good look at you.

Madam, swords don't have eyes. Don't make this hard for us.

Did your mother teach you any martial skills?

A little bit. -Then it should be enough.

I saw the Princess escaping, but I didn't get to stop her.

Your Majesty, please punish me.

Your Majesty, General Li is here.

Let him in. -Yes.

Your Majesty, what has made you so anxious?

Bring people to Dali Temple now. Princess Anyang left the palace.

We must find her.

The Princess left the palace on her own. It's a serious crime.

If I find her, I'll lock her up according to the rules...

...and wait for Your Majesty's punishment.

Princess is one of the royals. How can she be imprisoned?

General Li, your decision is not suitable.

If a country doesn't follow its rules, how can it be a country?

We must strictly follow the rules set by His Majesty.

If we're biased to our own people, we're disloyal to His Majesty.

General Li, it's good to follow the rules...

...but we don't want to attract people's attention...

...when the Princess returns to the palace.

We better not spread this matter.

You only need to bring Princess Anyang back to see me.

I'll decide what to do.

Noted.

I'll do it right away.

Get up. It happened suddenly. You don't have to blame yourself.

With Anlan's personality, you wouldn't be able to stop her.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Why are you here today?

Your Majesty, I went to visit Sir Lu in Shandong.

My child, I've been searching for you all these years...

...but I heard nothing about you.

I thought you were.....

This stupid old man saw you but he didn't tell me.

I'll give him a good lesson afterwards.

My child, how did you find me here?

Aunt Hong, I came back this time...

...to serve my mother justice and give her a title.

Too bad His Majesty only cares about power and lands.

I don't blame him...

...but I pity my mother.

I'm leaving.

Uncle Hou said that you and my mother are sworn sisters.

I wanted to come and see you to fulfil my mother's wishes.

He's a brat. Doesn't he even recognise his own daughter?

His Majesty has made me Princess...

...but what's the point of having the status?

I don't want to be in the palace. -There's no need to say anything.

After I get my son, I'll bring you to your grandpa.

I don't believe that no one cares about this!

Did you say grandpa?

Move! -What's wrong?

My father asked me to supervise you when he's not here.

I can't suffer like this. Can you go easy on me?

What do you mean by that? Don't complain.

You should be grateful that Prince of Wei is being lenient.

Hurry.

Follow up.

Don't you dare to skive. Hurry up.

Are you still my brother? -You're so weak.

I'm ashamed of this brother. -Go up.

Hurry, go up. -Alright. I'll do it myself.

Hurry up, all of you.

Who is this? -I don't know.

It's General Li's wife.

Mother, what are you doing here?

Why are you messing around here? Come back with me.

Mother, don't. I must practise. -What do you need to practise?

If you want to practise, I can teach you.

Aren't you my good child? Listen to me.

Mother, why are you doing this? -Hurry.

Go home. -I'm not leaving.

You must leave even if you don't want to.

Stand right there.

How did you exit the palace? -I escaped secretly.

Wouldn't the palace be chaotic?

Let me ask you something.

Why did you help me?

Do you know that you caused us a lot of trouble after that?

How is that possible?

You didn't get punished and I can stay in Chang'an, too.

How perfect is that?

You didn't thank me yet you're blaming me. How heartless.

Just don't do this kind of silly thing in the future.

I don't want to owe you. I can't return the favour.

Did anyone ask you to return the favour?

Let's put it this way. Now, I must look after you.

I don't want that. I won't accept that.

I saw you getting injured and punished.

I feel uncomfortable.

You won't feel uncomfortable after getting used to it.

Let's put it this way. You don't have to care about me.

You shouldn't come and find me just for these.

Hurry up and return. Don't make things worse.

Then why must you help me?

It's because...

...we know each other so well now.

You can even have feelings for the pigs you keep, right?

You're scolding me indirectly. -You're the one who kept asking.

You..... -Are you not listening...

...to your mother now? You..... -Mother, let go!

Ruolan?

Don't you dare to seduce my Sister Ruolan!

Ruolan! -Mother!

Let me go! -Princess!

Why is this child so worrying? Where should I look for her?

The city gates are blocked. Ask our men...

...to search each and every house.

Search each and every house?

Hurry! -Why is the Princess here?

Save her first! -Come! Hurry!

What exactly is going on?

Come here. Here.

Slowly.

Why is she injured? I'll look for the military physician.

Why should you? I'm here! Get me liquor, thread and needle!

Alright.

Who hurt the princess? -A crazy woman.

How can someone be so daring to assassinate the Princess?

Where's this person? According to the rules, she should be punished.

Mother, stop it.

Sister Ruolan is in there! Don't stop me!

How did the crazy woman get here?

General Li, go and capture her. -Yes.

It's here. Here you go. -Put it here.

Why is she injured so badly? What happened?

It's not serious, General Cheng. -How is that not serious?

It's close to hurting your vital points.

Who is this crazy woman? -She was my mother's sworn sister.

Hong Fu Nu.

She was my mother's best friend. -Hong Fu Nu?

Why did she try to kill me? -I have no idea.

Hong Fu Nu? That's Mrs. Li.

It makes sense. She's been having a disease for years.

It hasn't been cured. Look how she had hurt you.

General Cheng,...

...I need your favour.

Please keep this a secret for me.

No, Princess. I must have an explanation.

I'll have my own explanation as long as you keep it a secret.

Pretend that you didn't see this.

Alright.

General Cheng, go and get me some salt and hot water.

Alright.

General Cheng,...

...how is the Princess' injury?

Li, what have you done? Look at this.

You know about my wife,...

...but I, Li Jing, will bear all the consequences myself.

That's enough. What consequences are you talking about?

To be honest, Princess Anyang told me everything just now.

She won't pursue on this matter. She asked me to keep it a secret.

Princess is really generous. -Yes, she is.

So you should take care of your wife.

Bring her away. I'll explain to His Majesty.

Thank you, General Cheng. -No problem. We're brothers.

When the carriage is prepared, I'll return with the Princess.

Also, General Li, can you bring your precious son...

...with you when you leave?

I really can't bear it. Thank you.

Thank you.

Luckily the wounds aren't deep. Just sew it after cleaning.

If it's painful, bite me.

I don't want to bite you. You're smelly and sweaty.

I think you won't be able to hide it this time.

Does it matter?

Do you think you're all that? If I were your father, I'll beat you.

If you don't communicate with the Empress, you're done for.

I don't mind not being a princess.

You must be a princess.

If you don't, how should I go back?

Yun Ye.

I don't care what promise you made to my father...

...but I must tell you.

Before my mother's given a title,...

...I'll not consider other things.

Don't waste your time.

What did I promise?

If that's what you meant, I was forced at that time.

That's why..... -Alright. Sew it.

Did she really fall for me?

Why did you take the sword attack for me just now?

I just didn't want to hurt any innocent people.

Very well then.

Do you remember the woman I drew?

That's my fiance.

You look like her.

No. You two look exactly the same.

She's the only one I love. I know you're not her...

...but I can't bear to see this face suffer.

I don't want to lie to you. So, don't do stupid things for me.

Since you don't have feelings for me, I feel relieved.

Your medical skills are getting worse.

It hurt me so much that my tears came out.

What about you?

I know that...

...you're taking me as a guise in front of my father.

I also need you to update me from outside the palace.

Then let us work together and make a deal.

How do you want me to help you? -After I return to the palace,...

...I don't know when I could come out again.

I want you to arrange meetings with Aunt Hong for me.

How is that? -You broke out of the palace.

If something happens again, your father will be angry...

...when he knows. Follow General Cheng back first.

We can talk about these things in the future.

I don't need you to care about me.

Just do what I asked you to.

Don't worry. I won't fall for...

...someone so weak like you.

You did it on purpose! -Hold it with your own hand.

Look at you.

Princess.

Thank you, General Cheng. -The carriage is ready. Let's go.

Baron Yun.

General Li.

My wife has offended you and assassinated the Princess.

Li Jing is here to apologise.

It's such a big issue. Can it be solved by apologising?

At first, I could never be forgiven...

...but the Princess was generous today and forgave me.

When I saw the Princess getting better just now,...

...I felt a bit more relieved.

If I don't take care of her injury, it would worsen.

I'm at the army camp now. I can't go in and out to treat her.

If we use other physicians, I'm afraid that the secret would leak.

This is difficult.

General Li, your wife has a heart disease.

Is she crazy sometimes, but sober sometimes?

Yes, she is.

My wife has been sick for years. She hasn't been cured.

Baron Yun, how did you recognise this disease?

Could it be..... -General Li,...

...we need to cure the Princess. We can cure your wife, too.

However, is this army camp...

...for treating patients? -I understand.

I'll get General Cheng to bring you out later.

Wait.

It's the Empress' order for me to be at the army camp.

It's my master's order.

She said if I pass the test, I can return.

Look. Tomorrow is the test.

I understand. Baron Yun, don't worry. Leave this to me.

I'll complete this task.

Greetings, father.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

You may rise. -Thank you, Your Majesty.

You two may leave. -Noted.

Anlan, are you aware that your actions today...

...are extremely daring and disrespectful?

When will you stop being angry for how I entitled your mother?

Do you know how hard it is for me?

I know.

If your mother was alive, she'll understand me.

But she's not here anymore.

Why must you force me? Are you happy doing this?

Yes, I didn't fulfil my responsibility as a father...

...but since you've returned to me, did I mistreat you...

...with what you eat and wear? Did I treat you badly...

...and let you suffer?

Father, you know that I don't want all these.

Then what exactly do you want?

You left the palace without saying a thing.

What do you take the palace as?

Did you think about our royal family's reputation?

If our reputation is more important...

...than my safety to you,...

...why didn't you just let me leave the palace?

Then we'll owe each other nothing. -You.....

How dare you say that?

Alright. From today onwards,...

...you're grounded. You're not allowed to exit Xunfeng Palace.

Xiao Nan, did you complete the mission I gave you?

Tell me now. -I'll tell you after eating.

Tell me first and I'll let you eat.

No. -Alright.

Then you can eat first.

Sister Xin Yue read us books.

I know this. Is there anything else?

Then she tested us about poems.

If this goes on, we're not going anywhere.

By the way, Sister Xin Yue sang for us when we were resting.

Did she sing? What song did she sing?

I have no idea. -You.....

What's going on?

You gave my sister junk food again. She's not eating rice now.

Xiao Nan, take it all.

Thank you, brother! -You're welcome!

You're back.

I don't think you're here to welcome me.

Don't tell me you're waiting for me to get a free meal.

I'm really exhausted.

You only went for a few days. Do you think I'm silly?

I'm here to be your messenger. -That's enough.

You're here to give orders on behalf of your sister, right?

You always talk about my sister. Sorry to disappoint you.

You're wrong. -Then are you here...

...because of your mother?

My mother said you'll be my study companion...

...as the Empress' disciple tomorrow.

Is my test settled? -General Li passed you.

I don't know what magic you used.

Also, with this token,...

...you can go in and out of the harem from now on.

Does it matter?

Don't say I didn't tell you this.

After sister came back, father grounded her.

She's feeling down now.

Don't you want to go and comfort her?

You're worrying for nothing.

After sister came back, she cried for so long.

I wonder when sister and father can solve their conflict.

Xiao Cui, get a bucket of water. -Alright.

Brother Ye, why are you here? It's smoky here. Go out.

I'm here to see my treasures.

Do you mean potatoes? Come here.

Have a look. They're great.

Look. They're budding, aren't they? They're budding.

Why are you sighing?

I'm thinking when I would get to eat it.

It takes time.

I'm worried that I'll eat everything at once.

What are you saying? How pretty is that?

Grandma, besides this mansion,...

...do we have a piece of land? -Yes.

Our daily expenses are dependent on that land.

Grandma, can I have a request? -Tell me.

After the leaves grow out, dig out what's underneath...

...and plant it on that land. -Sure. No problem,...

...but I don't know what it is.

Grandma, believe me. Wait for this thing to grow.

Then we'll be rich. -Will we be rich?

Alright. Go out quickly. I'll cook you something nice.

Go out. -Do you want me to help?

There's no need. Go out quickly. -Alright.

Mother, this is not fun.

Is this not fun? -What are you playing?

Come. What I'm playing is called Dunzou Map.

What's Dunzou Map?

How many chess pieces are there? -10.

Did you get it so quickly?

The 10 chess pieces represent 10 different characters.

We must get the biggest chess piece out at last.

Then we'll win the match. -Let me play for a while.

I'll let you play. I'll teach you. Come.

Which one should you move now? -This.

Move it. What happens next? -Then it's this.

Princess, you didn't eat much yesterday.

Your appetite isn't good today either. You're still injured.

If this continues, it's not good for your health.

I'm not hungry.

His Majesty was just angry. After he calms down, you will be free.

Why should you sulk on it?

Princes and Princesses get grounded after doing...

...something wrong.

What time is it now?

Now it's 3 p.m.

You can't enter Princess' manor. -Don't block me.

I got permission from His Majesty and Her Highness.

Anyone who tries to block me is disrespectful.

Why are you here?

I'm bringing a message from His Majesty and Her Highness...

...for Princess. You all may leave.

Let's go.

I've brought something nice for you.

What's it?

This is aloe vera. Apply it on your injury and...

...it'll stop itchiness and remove scars. It's easy to keep.

Water it and leave it under the sun will do.

Is it that useful?

Who is there?

There's no one.

Maybe I saw it wrongly.

How did you enter the palace?

I'm the Empress' disciple now. I can go in and out every day.

Is that true? Then did you do what I've asked you to?

That's why I'm here to discuss with you.

I just came back and I heard that you're grounded.

How do I arrange it then? Are you messing with me?

You came in so easily. Why can't Aunt Hong do it, too?

My dear, I can only walk around in the harem.

Do you think that Her Highness really asked me to see you?

Then what should we do? -It's hard but I can do it.

Li Jing agreed to let me treat his wife's disease.

Can you cure her? -I must try.

If I can't cure her, I don't dare to let her see you.

Baron Yun, I've never said that I'll be teaching here.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Baron Yun, did I change the venue of my teachings?

I don't even know. -No.

I'm just blurred. I lost my way so I came here.

Please punish me, Your Highness.

I know you like to socialise, but it's not like outside here.

You must be aware of every action of yours.

You must consider her reputation.

Baron Yun only passed by because he lost his way.

I was talking to him. Also, the soldiers and servants are here.

It won't ruin my reputation. -Anlan,...

...I'm saying this for your own good.

Since you found your way now,...

...Baron Yun, don't delay the time of your class anymore.

Her Highness is great. She knew when Baron Yun came.

Right?

I don't understand what you said.

You don't? Then how are you explaining to Her Highness?

Princess, you're thinking too much.

Princess,...

...you're grounded. You can't leave Xunfeng Palace.

Crown Prince. -Lady Xin Yue,...

...sorry for disturbing.

These people are..... -I've heard that you have...

...good instrumental skills. Some musicians came to the town.

I've brought them here.

Can you play a few songs with them?

I'll get to learn, too. -I'm incapable of it.

Please forgive me. -What's wrong? Anything wrong?

The children around here aren't feeling good lately.

Looks like they're falling sick. I'm checking out on them.

Then let me help you.

But they.....

Leave now.

Thank you. -It's what I should do.

Your Majesty, Princess Anyang seeks audience.

Allowed. -Noted.

I remember the punishment has not ended yet.

I argued with you before this. It's my fault.

I was short-tempered, too.

Since you know that you were wrong, you're not grounded now.

Thank you, father.

Father, I grew up near the borders.

I'm used to being free. I haven't learnt the manners in the palace.

Now that I'm in the palace, people call me Princess...

...but I didn't get rewarded by you.

Hence, I'm requesting for you to...

...allow me to stay alone at Xunfeng Palace...

...without any servants.

Then how are you going to live?

I learned how to grow crops, sew and cook since young.

You don't have to worry. -This won't do.

Princess, the harem is a part of the palace.

If everyone has their reason to follow what they want,...

...wouldn't it be chaotic?

Your Highness, father,...

...if you think this is difficult,...

...please allow me to stay outside of the palace.

You're a princess. You haven't married. How can you stay outside?

If it spreads out, people will think I can't tolerate you.

Princess, what did I do that's not good enough...

...and make you suffer? You can tell me.

I'll change.

I'm just not used to having people serving and looking at me.

If everything is not allowed,...

...I really don't know what to do.

I'll allow it. Tell me whatever you want.

If you don't want servants, then dismiss them.

Thank you, father.

Guan Yin Bi, it's the first time she's begging of me.

It's not anything too much.

She just came into the palace. She needs time to adapt.

Let her adapt slowly.

She'll change after suffering for a bit.

Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'll ask for a physician tomorrow.

Crown Prince, why not you return to the palace first?

I can do this alone.

You're taking care of 2 children alone. It's hard.

I'll boil more water.

Crown Prince.

Lady Xin Yue, it's too smoky here. Get out now.

I'll boil the water. Go and wait in the room.

Look at your face.

I can do it myself. You can go.

Hurry up.

I'm getting something.

I deserve this. I asked for such troublesome tasks.

What should I do with that crazy Hong Fu Nu?

Xiao Ran, what should I do?

Can you tell me?

I'm afraid that I'm sick, too. I thought of her seeing the fire.

That's right! Why didn't I think of hinting her?

Thank you. You're the best.

Lady Xin Yue,...

...I'm not a pervert.

Fu'er, be careful! Don't fall!

Go away, all of you!

Physician Sun, did you get anything?

A physician sees, listens, asks and approaches.

Madam looks healthy, her voice sounds bright...

...and her pulse is normal. Well.....

Physician Sun, you have come and visit today...

...because of Physician Wang, haven't you?

As long as you cure my wife,...

...I'll try my best to accomplish this.

General Li, you took me too lightly.

Physician Wang and I are good friends.

I really want to save him but I'm a physician with ethics.

I'll help your wife wholeheartedly.

May I know why you're here? -I'm here to see General Li.

Who are you looking for?

Brother Yun, you're finally here. Come.

Who are you guys? Go away!

Baron Yun, you're finally here.

Look at her. -Is this lad a physician?

He can make ice and salt. He knows blood transfusion, too.

His Majesty just entitled him. -I see.

Baron Yun is capable.

He justified the Princess' status and was given a title.

Too bad that he got someone into trouble.

Old man, what do you mean by that?

Baron, why not we just leave this aside?

Can you help me get my wife down?

Sure.

I only need one line to get her down calmly.

Is that true?

Do you want to know about Qiu Ranke's matter?

Who are you? -Fu'er.

Do you know where my brother is? Where is here?

Fu'er. -Tell me! Hurry up!

Fu'er! -Mother!

Good acupuncture skills.

Sister.

Sister, don't do this kind of rough work anymore.

I brought Linglong here. Ask her to do it if there's anything.

Don't worry about that. I'm not a princess anymore.

I don't need people to serve me. -Sister.

Linglong is from my palace. She has no ill intention.

She took care of you before. I was thinking that maybe...

...someone can talk to you. -Is there anything else?

If there's nothing else, you may go.

Sister.

Crown Prince, what do I do?

Stay here. Stay here until she accepts you.

How is my wife? -Madam is mentally ill.

Medicine will not cure her.

I'm not clear about mental illnesses.

I can't help you with that.

This old man is right. It's a mental illness...

...but it doesn't mean that I can't do what he can't do.

What are you not satisfied about my medical skills?

You forced Wang to death, and you're humiliating me now?

Alright, do it if you can.

If you cure her, I'll acknowledge you as the best physician.

I'll live in the forest and stop being a physician.

Calm down, Physician Sun.

Old man, that's not what I meant.

Listen to..... -Where's my brother?

Where is he? -Mother.

Brother Yun is our guest. Let him go first.

No! You all are bullying me!

My brother is not here anymore! You all are bullying me!

Fu'er. -Wolves bit me. Snakes bit me.

Sister Ruolan doesn't care about me. Where's my brother?

I.....

Do you know where my brother is?

Where's my brother? -Fu'er.

Does she see snakes and wolves every time?

Yes.

What are you two muttering? Do you want to jeopardise me?

No, mother. -There's a wolf on your bed...

...staring at you.

It said it wants to eat you.

You're rude. -There's a wolf!

Fu'er! -Mother!

There's a wolf!

Where's the wolf? -Somebody!

Where is it?

Where's the wolf?

Look, there are 6 wolves now.

Be careful! There's a snake there! -Where?

There are some on the trees! -You.....

Don't worry. -Where is it?

Where is it?

Fu'er, kill them!

Don't be scared! Go! Kill them!

Alright! You killed one!

Hurry up and get cinnabar. Use water to make it look like blood.

Alright. -You've killed all the wolves.

There are snakes there! Be careful!

There are more over there! Kill them! Hurry up!

There! Near the trees! Yes, that's right!

There are snakes at the walls! Hurry! Behind you!

Brother Yun, cinnabar is here.

Hurry! There's one more!

Alright. Now you've killed both the snakes and the wolves.

They won't come back anymore.

Fu'er! -Mother!

Madam! -Fu'er!
