Princess at Large 2

Episode 15

Denouement Part Three

What's in your mind?

Princess Qingcheng passed away so suddenly.

I can't help thinking something's not right.

Hey.

Have the two missing females been found?

Never heard about it.

Then

what if Princess Qingcheng is still alive?

That can't be.

There's a body wearing Princess Qingcheng's jewelries.

Then

didn't they do a postmortem?

Prince Zixi said that his sister cherished her beauty the most,

so he didn't want to show her burned appearance to people.

Then how about the two missing persons?

I reckon

they had gone out on a drinking binge,

and thus luckily avoided the disaster.

Now they dare not come back.

Uhm.

Oh,

by the way,

Maidong was in the palace when

the accident happened.

Maidong?

Yeah.

Yo.

My honor to see you, Your Highness.

How's the patient?

Ah.

It seems like

"Xiao Ke Zheng" (wasting-thirst syndrome).

Come on.

Open your mouth.

Let me see your tongue coating.

OK.

Thready pulse,

red tongue with little coating,

and dry skin,

with pruritus.

These should be caused

by kidney asthenia.

Do you know

that in my hometown,

Xiao Ke Zheng

is also called diabetes?

To treat diabetes,

we need to do a blood sugar test first.

The patient needs to take hypoglycemic drugs

and insulin sensitizing agents,

and have insulin injections.

Insulin?

Yeah.

Ruoxi,

you seem to know a lot of diseases that we don't know.

Sure.

Don't you know who I am?

Ruoxi.

Uh?

Let's talk in private.

Kay.

Ruoxi,

I want to inquire about a certain disease.

Go ahead.

I once saw

such a person

who stays energetic during the day,

but after sunset

shows a totally different aspect,

weeping incessantly,

and often shouting for help.

You're Ji Xianyun,

so perhaps you know what to be done?

According to your description,

it seems to be

dual personality.

Dual personality?

Yeah.

It means that two personalities co-exist on one person.

And the two personalities

are completely different.

Generally speaking,

the patient has had some mental blows

during the period of growing up,

therefore creating another personality.

Uhm.

Oh no.

Did you say he had the bouts in the evening?

Yes, yes.

Well…

It might also be persecution mania,

which is one type of schizophrenia.

How about

you bring him in front of me?

Only through face-to-face diagnosis

can I make sure what disease he has.

Ur…

Ruoxi,

this patient has a special status,

so I can't bring him here.

I see.

There's another thing,

Ruoxi.

Ur…

This matter

involves the patient's privacy,

so please

do not tell anyone else.

OK.

Ruoxi,

I can't disobey this order.

Sorry for that.

Uhm.

Who's that!

Huh!

Ah!

It's probably a cat.

Eh.

I'm going out to have a look.

OK.

Hum.

Where else can you go now?

Get out!

Don't hide there.

No arrow.

Hum hum.

Damn it.

I can't do kongfu.

Er…

Mister,

sorry to have disturbed you.

Let's meet for another time.

Hold you horses!

You looked familiar to me before,

and now let's do a comparison.

You are—

No, no, no.

Your Highness, the second prince?

Nanyan?

Your Highness,

I've found you finally!

Eh.

But…

Eh.

How come you've become an imperial physician of Donglin?

Uh…

Get up.

Yes.

The truth is—

I should be the one to question you.

Tell me:

Why did you attempt to kill Lan Ruoxi?

I…

Tell me!

Because Lan Ruoxi

failed to fulfil her duties as a bodyguard,

did not report after finding you,

and now,

she is married to the Crown Prince of Donglin.

That's why

I was ordered to exterminate her.

But,

how come you two were together?

So that guy really came for me?

Uh…

Presumptuous!

Why should I tell you?

Nevertheless,

there's no harm in telling you.

We have made each other informed of the matter.

I have

assigned her a secret task.

That's why

she

hasn't come back to Nanyan with me yet.

That's unexpected!

What's up?

Then why did she

lose touch with us?

Idiot!

I said it's a secret task.

How can she get in touch with you?

Oh yeah.

Fine.

You can retreat now.

Be stealthy.

Yes.

Bye, Your Highness.

What's all this about?

Ah.

Uhm.

Have you found anything unusual?

Oh.

Nothing.

It was a cat indeed.

Oh.

Uh.

By the way,

where's Maidong?

Maidong?

Yeah.

He should be

sorting out herbs in Baicao Hall.

Tell him to come here.

I need to talk to him.

Kay.

What the hell?

Ruoxi,

Maidong's here.

Your Highness,

how can I help you?

Maidong,

when the fire broke out that day,

did you really see Princess Qingcheng

being carried out of her mansion?

Your Highness,

I not only

saw the body,

but also

touched it.

What?

When the fire broke out that day,

I happened to be in the palace.

Since it was a sudden accident,

I was called to offer help.

So, on a female body,

I saw the jewelries

which belonged to Princess Qingcheng.

Besides,

the body looked quite straight when it was carried out.

But,

wouldn't a person

struggle violently when she is on fire?

Straight…

That's odd indeed.

The fire broke out in the evening.

Unless

Qingcheng was asleep in bed.

Ruoxi,

isn't there something

questionable about this matter?

Hard to say.

Take this.

This matter must be

perfectly dealt with.

Yes.

What are you thinking of?

Ah?

Oh.

Wow.

Stone,

what did you make?

I've studied

the medical books you often read,

and found

a good recipe for liver-soothing flower soup.

So I made it for you.

Did you make it yourself?

Of course.

Come.

Sit down.

Ah—

Stone,

you're learning more and more things.

Huh,

how come you, a fearless girl,

has become red-eyed?

Are you moved?

Well,

I didn't want to cry.

It's because I…

Because

there're sands in your eyes,

or because you just yawned?

Uh…

Well,

I'll have a taste

and give it an appraisal.

OK.

Judging from the color,

it is underdone.

That can't be.

I had followed the procedures in the book.

Flower soup, also called "Tipsy Beauty Soup",

has the effects of dredging the meridians and breaking through stagnation.

But

before decocting,

the materials should be soaked for a while.

Have you forgotten this procedure?

Ah.

Ah,

I'll dump this

and make another one.

No—

That's too wasteful.

Let me drink it.

Ah,

no.

This one is underdone,

but next time I'll make a better one for you.

Uh.

Ow.

Lingxiao,

what's the problem?

What's wrong?

Hey?

Are you feeling unwell?

Lingxiao.

Ah!

Lingxiao!

What…

What's wrong?

Poisoned?

Attendants!

Attendants!

Attendants!

Ruoxi,

I've just checked the pot

that Lingxiao used to decoct the herb soup for you.

It contains poison indeed.

It's evident that

the assassin had put the highly toxic

aconitine directly into the pot.

Luckily you've been accompanying Lingxiao,

otherwise it would have been too late.

So it seems that

this assassin

had planned this action beforehand.

Quite a few odd things

have occurred in the palace recently.

At first there was the big fire,

and now

His Highness is poisoned.

And the assassin

hasn't been caught.

This assassin

is so familiar with the routes in the palace,

and so bold and careful in his actions.

He's likely to be a servant in the palace.

Uhm.

We should conduct a thorough check

of the dwelling places

of all the palace servants.

Uhm.

Attendant!

Here!

Lead your men to check the rooms of all the palace servants,

and report to me as soon as you find anything suspicious.

There's another thing.

The assassin is well-versed in toxicology,

so

you need to check the Yun Imperial Hospital, too.

OK.

Keep stealthy

during the check,

and do not arouse people's suspicions.

Take action now.

Yes.

Don't you think

this assassin is stupid?

How dared he

poison His Highness?

Doesn't he know

our Crown Princess

is a medical official?

This herb soup

had been given to me by Lingxiao,

so

the assassin had intended to kill me.

Lingxiao doesn't know much about medicine,

and it takes time for us

to come to treat Ruoxi.

Moreover,

Ruoxi,

there's no way that you can cure yourself

if you're poisoned.

Therefore,

if Lingxiao had not

drunk that poisoned soup by accident,

this would have been

a really perfect plot.

Yeah.

Walk lightly.

Now,

Team One shall go to search in the palace,

and Team Two

shall go outside the palace with me

and search in the Imperial Hospital.

Yes.

Go!

You guys go that way.

Search carefully.

Nalan Baichuan!

What on earth is all this about!?

Your Majesty,

I admit that

I am indeed Rebu Fengxun,

Prince Ren of Nanyan.

What?

He is Rebu Fengxun!

You have betrayed my trust in you!

Your Majesty,

I've come to Donglin

with no intention to harm anyone.

It's only because I admire

the superb medical skills

and virtues of the late Crown Princess

that

I've come to learn medicine in the Yun Imperial Hospital.

I'm afraid that the disclosure of my identity

would cause many inconveniences.

That's why I've been concealing it.

And Nanyan doesn't know my whereabouts.

As for this waist tablet,

I've never worn it.

How come it appeared in my room?

Your Majesty,

I really don't know.

Then do you have

an explanation for this medicine vial?

Your Majesty,

I really know nothing about it.

Hum.

You had kept dormant

for a long time,

because you had been waiting

for the chance to kill my son!

Father (-in-law),

please listen to me.

It's me who should've been poisoned.

If Nalan were the murderer,

he should've had many chances to kill me.

There's no need for him to wait till now.

In my opinion,

there's something questionable about it.

Your Majesty,

we have done

a secretive search last night,

and found three palace maids

and one eunuch absent from the palace.

Bring them into the Hall!

Yes.

Bring them in!

Get in!

Where

did you guys go last night?

Say it!

Since the tragedy of Princess Qingcheng,

I've been staying out,

mourning for her.

I…

The clothes I washed were not clean enough,

and Mother Li asked me to wash them again,

so I got back to my room very late.

Mother Li can testify that.

Dispatch someone to ask Mother Li,

and find the place

where the clothes are hanged.

Yes.

You.

Go (to do that).

Yes.

I…

I…

Don't stutter.

Say it!

I was with,

with Eunuch Qi last night.

I deserve death for ten thousand times,

but please pardon me, Your Majesty.

You two

are a "couple"?

Yes.

Who can testify that?

Every eunuch in my dorm

and every palace maid in her dorm know about it.

We,

we've been together for a long time.

Dispatch someone to ask about it!

Yes.

Guards!

Take Nalan Baichuan

into the jail!

Father,

the truth hasn't been found.

Shut up!

Strange things keep emerging

in the palace recently,

and now his identity

as a prince is revealed.

At all events,

he must be

put in jail first.

How can the Great Donglin State

be humiliated

by a small vassal state?

Take him away!

Yes.

Father—

Your Majesty,

my innocence shall be proved someday.

Go.

Nalan.

Nalan.

Is there really no way to save Nalan?

Alas.

But,

but I know Nalan very well.

Indeed, he is bohemian, likes joking,

and his manners are playful,

but he

really has the humane heart of a doctor.

And it is truly for the purpose

of studying medicine that he has come to Donglin.

Stone,

why don't you say a word?

Say something!

Don't you believe me?

Say something.

What's to be done?

Stone.

Ah.

How can I not believe you?

It's just that

many people and things

in the world

are not what we think them to be.

My…

My honor to see you, Your Highness.

How is Rebu Fengxun now?

His Highness,

His Highness the second,

has been put into prison by the Donglin State.

What did you say!?

They said,

they said that His Highness

attempted to poison

the Crown Prince of Donglin.

Asshole!

If we want to kill him,

I shall send the troops

in front of him,

and kill him openly.

We the Nanyan people

don't need such a dirty trick to deal with them.

Get out, all of you.

Yes.

Your Highness,

what is your plan?

Select and deploy a crack cavalry troop at once.

I shall capture

the Imperial City

of Donglin at one blow.

But we shouldn't underestimate

that Prince Zhan's power.

It makes sense.

We must add another team

to pin down Prince Zhan's army.

Qingmu!

Here.

You go make the arrangements.

Yes.

Report—

Your Highness,

the envoys of Lousai have come.

Tell them to come in.

Yes.

Lousai State?

We, peace envoys of the Lousai State,

are honored to meet you, Prince Yi.

Our emperor heard that

Prince Ren of your state,

namely Rebu Fengxun His Highness,

has been wrongly put into prison.

Hence His Majesty sent us here

to convey our willingness to offer help.

You act quite fast.

I've hardly received the news

when you're sent here.

Thanks for your compliment.

Why does Yan Zixi want to help me?

Our princess

was brutally murdered in Donglin.

How can our state

bear so great a humiliation?

What can you do even though you can't bear it?

Are you going to

follow our troops and encourage us

by shouting and waving flags?

We have come here with sincerity.

Our state

is ready

to remove your biggest concern.

What's this "biggest concern"?

Prince Zhan.

Your Highness,

is this sincerity

enough for you?

Qingmu.

Serve liquor!

Urgent report from the army!

The Lousai State is attacking our Yanzhou City

in the northwestern region with 30 thousand troops.

Lousai is a small state.

This…

The…

How,

how is it capable of being our enemy?

It's like a wolf cub with wild ambitions.

They're so ungrateful.

Tell me about it.

You can retreat now.

Your Majesty,

the enemy is invading.

I'm worried that the later we go,

the more dangerous the border would be.

Hence I

ask Your Majesty

to allow me to lead a troop

and head for the border at once,

so that I can kill the enemy and protect the state.

I'm willing to go with Father.

Good.

Father,

I'm willing to go, too.

Lingxiao,

I haven't recovered

from my illness.

So you must stay

and help me deal with affairs of the state.

Your uncle and Lingyun

have comforted me

with their bravery loyalty.

Now I command:

Prince Zhan and his son

shall lead 70 thousand troops

to conquer the enemy at the border.

Yes.

That's great.

(Prince Zhan and his son, leading 70 thousand troops, has arrived at Yanzhou.)

(Prince Yi, it's time to send your troops.)

Hum.

Qingmu.

Here.

Pass my order,

telling our men to have a full meal

and take action tonight.

Yes.

Your headache seems to have

become worse recently.

Ah.

It's strange that

I often feel agitated lately.

What's the matter?

Prince Zhan wrote in the letter

that the troops of Lousai

escape whenever a battle begins,

and withdraw whenever being chased.

They're like shrewd dogs.

That's not the style of invaders.

Ah.

Lately,

Rebu Hadi from Nanyan

is extraordinarily inactive.

I always feel there's something behind all this.

Can it be that…

No, no.

It may be because you think too much.

Your Highness,

there's bad news.

What's up?

Rebu Hadi from Nanyan,

leading a crack cavalry troop toward the north,

has captured Nanyang City

within one day.

What?

Report!

The Nanyan army's attacks are so fast

that our army failed to respond in time.

And…

And…

The Weicheng City has been captured.

What should be done now? It's too fast.

Weicheng was occupied so soon!

Weicheng is the gateway to the Imperial City.

Now that Weicheng is breached,

the Imperial City

won't be secure for long.

True.

Where's Prince Zhan?

Ah.

Prince Zhan

is confronting the Lousai army,

and Prince Junior

is on the way to reinforce him.

But it takes

at least five days to get there.

Five days?

Big changes can happen in five days.

True.

Messenger,

do you

have anything else to report?

Rebu Hadi asks Your Majesty

to go out of the city and face your death,

so that…

So what?

So that the people in the city will be spared.

That's definitely not a choice.

Fetch me my armor.

Lingxiao!

Father,

it is a life-or-death moment for Donglin,

so we must unite together

to defend against the enemy.

I hope to defend the Imperial City,

protecting Donglin with my life.

Yes!

We'll protect Donglin with our lives!

Is the herb soup done?

Yes, it is.

Put it down over there.

Yes.

Ruoxi.

Stone.

I…

I was going to see you.

Me, too.

Why,

why are you wearing this?

Donglin is in a crisis.

It's my responsibility to defend it.

Sorry,

I'm letting you worry about me again.

I have an idea

that might resolve the crisis of the Imperial City.

Do you suggest

we hand Nalan over?

But who can guarantee

that Nalan will

speak in our favor

after coming back to Nanyan?

So now we need a person

to escort him back in a private manner,

and supervise his words and deeds,

making sure nothing goes wrong.

Do you mean that

you'll escort him?

Yeah.

I had seen the bodyguards of Nanyan,

and I know this body of mine

originally belonged to one of their spies.

I came to look for Nalan at first,

so I want to take advantage of my identity.

I'll design a counterplot,

pretending that Nalan…

Do you have any idea what you're saying?

I…

I am a man.

Even if I die on the battlefield,

I wouldn't allow you to risk your life doing this.

Lingxiao,

just let me have a try.

Remember what I said?

I only need you to be happy

and carefree every day.

As for other matters,

I can handle them myself.

Even if the city is breached,

and I die on the front line…

Don't say such things.

OK.

I won't say.

I have to go.

Hey.

Eh,

wait a while.

You've been too tired these days.

I've made a nourishing decoction for you.

Drink it

before you go.

OK.

Come on.

Sit down.

Here you are.

For you,

I must give it a try.

Who are you?

His Majesty has a verbal instruction:

Bring Nalan Baichuan to trial.

Yes.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi,

is it His Majesty asking you to come?

I'm innocent.

To make a long story short,

Rebu Hadi and his troops have besieged the city,

and Lingxiao is prepared to fight till death.

So I've stolen the Tablet and come to take you out.

My brother besieged the city,

and Qi Lingxiao is prepared to fight till death?

Yeah.

You stole the Tablet in order to save me…

Wait.

How can you get out after that?

I'm going to tell you

about the identity of this body of mine.

Do you want to say

that you're a bodyguard of Nanyan,

and that you've come to Donglin to find me?

You know that?

Yeah.

So I'm planning to contact that bodyguard,

and ask him to bring us to see your brother.

But before we go,

I want you to promise me one thing.

Do you want me to ask my brother to withdraw?

Are you willing to do that?

Ruoxi,

I will do my utmost.

But

you'd better not go with me.

Why?

My goodness,

don't you know it is dangerous?

What is there to fear

if I go with you?

Let's go.

(Imperial Prison of Donglin)

Be careful.

Go (commanding the horse).

Your Highness,

a coach stops in front of the camp.

If they've come for peace negotiations,

kill them.

Stop the coach!

Who's the visitor?

Who's the visitor?

Well,

I've accomplished the task,

rescuing His Highness the second out of the prison.

The second prince?

Yeah.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your…

Rebu Fengxun!

Your Highness!

What's the matter, Your Highness?

Nalan!

Are you okay?

Your Highness.

You call this "accomplished"?

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Attendants!

Tie her up!

Yes.

I didn't do it.

Nalan!

Nalan!

Nalan!

Block her mouth!

Your Highness.

Look, Your Highness!

Rebu Fengxun.

Rebu Fengxun.

Rebu Fengxun!

Doctor!

What caused this?

He's been like this when a bodyguard brought him here just now.

Your Highness,

His Highness the second is hit by a poisonous arrow.

This poison is so strange and fierce

that I really cannot

bring him back to life.

Get off!

Rebu Fengxun.

Rebu Fengxun.

Rebu Fengxun.

Your Highness the second.

My fellow generals and soldiers!

Here!

Sharpen your weapons!

Tonight,

I shall fill the Imperial City of Donglin with blood!

Fill Donglin with blood!

Fill Donglin with blood!

Fill Donglin with blood!

Your Highness,

His Highness the second wakes up.

Rebu Fengxun.

Brother.

Rebu Fengxun.

Stop fighting.

Go back to Nanyan.

Save me…

Rebu Fengxun.

Rebu Fengxun.

Hold on!

You are the successor to the throne of Nanyan!

Save me.

Ah.

Rebu Fengxun.

Rebu Fengxun.

Your Highness the second.

Your Highness the second.

Rebu Fengxun.

Your Highness the second!

Rebu Fengxun!

Set off.

We're going back to Nanyan.

Yes.

Lan Ruoxi failed to save Donglin,

and was taken back to Nanyan by Rebu Hadi.

Qi Lingxiao went a long way to pursue his wife,

but met a powerful love rival.

Princess at Large season 3

is coming soon.

Where's Zhang Baichou,

the imperial physician?

His Highness the second has missed the optimum time for treatment.

We can't delay anymore!

Let me out!

How much longer can Rebu Fengxun live?

I have,

I have done my utmost.

Take him out

and chop his head off!

Your Highness,

Lan Ruoxi can cure His Highness the second!

How dare you ill-treat His Highness

in the name of curing him!

That's the task of this operation.

Yes!

Mujin has come.

Where has Ruoxi gone?

The Crown Princess

is indeed a spy of Nanyan.

She is the No.1 female bodyguard of Nanyan.

Deprive Lan Ruoxi of the title of Crown Princess.
