Princess at Large 2

Episode 16

Is there really no way to save Nalan?

I know Nalan quite well.

He has been wronged for sure.

Nalan Baichuan,

what on earth is all this about?

I really am Prince Ren of Nanyan,

Rebu Fengxun.

Guards!

Escort Nalan Baichuan

into the jail.

Many people and things

in the world

are not what we think them to be.

-His Majesty has a verbal instruction: -Yes.

Bring Nalan Baichuan to trial.

Ruoxi,

did His Majesty ask you to come here?

I'm innocent.

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.

You stole the Tablet in order to save me?

Yes.

You've been too tired these days.

I've made a nourishing decoction for you.

Drink it before you go.

Ah.

I will do my utmost

to ask my brother to withdraw his troops.

I promise you

that I'll protect you,

and get you back

after the war is over.

I've accomplished the task of

rescuing His Highness the second out of the prison.

Your Highness.

Ah!

Tie her up!

My fellow generals and soldiers!

Sharpen your weapons!

Tonight,

I shall fill the Imperial City of Donglin with blood!

Fill Donglin with blood!

Fill Donglin with blood!

Your Highness the second.

Fill Donglin with blood!

Brother.

Fengxun.

Stop fighting.

Go back to Nanyan.

Save me...

Fengxun!

Your Highness the second.

Your Highness the second!

Set off.

We're going back to Nanyan.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Never mind the formalities!

Who's Zhang Baichou, the imperial physician?

I am Zhang Baichou,

and I'm here to welcome Your Highness.

Can you remove the poison on Fengxun and cure him?

I don't have much talent,

but at least I'm one of the best physicians of Nanyan.

I have detoxified

about one thousand types of poisons

throughout my career.

Therefore I can surely

detoxify the poison

on His Highness the second.

Good.

I give you three days to treat him.

If you fail to cure him,

your head shall be cut off!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Fengxun,

I'll cure you for sure.

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

Let me go to inform the imperial physician of the remedy.

It can't be delayed any longer!

His Highness has treated his brother with the best Jinchuang Medicine,

and sent for the best imperial physician.

There's no need for you to bother.

The injury was caused by a poisoned arrow,

so we should stab the wound in order to discharge the poisoned blood.

How dare you say that!

Lan Ruoxi, are you planning to poison His Highness the second

after your assassination failed?

I...

I'm telling you how...

Take her away.

Your Majesty,

His Highness the second was attacked during the journey back.

Now he is in a coma,

and Physician Zhang Baichou is treating him in the Hall of Benevolence.

Your Majesty.

You idiot.

Stupid man, wicked man, stingy man.

I curse you!

Let me out!

Let me out!

Hum.

Hey.

Can I get out now?

Don't you ever think about getting out

after getting in the Imperial Prison.

What else do you want to say?

I wish you to become a muddleheaded man

and a "single dog" for your whole life.

How dare you!

His Highness treats me as his brother.

How dare you call me a dog?

Do you have any respect for His Highness?

Tell me,

what did you do in Donglin?

What has made you become not only a traitor to Nanyan,

but also a presumptuous woman?

I'm not a traitor.

Let me go to cure His Highness the second,

and then he'll explain all this to you.

Hum.

His Highness the second.

His Highness the second is treated by an imperial physician.

You'd better

think about how to save your own life instead.

Hey.

You...

Was that the trial?

Fengxun.

Fengxun!

Fengxun!

Fengxun.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

The poison on His Highness the second is extremely strange.

I...

I...

I have

tried my best but failed.

Zhang Baichou!

This way, Your Majesty.

Fengxun!

Your Majesty.

Mother.

My son.

My son is still young.

How come he's so ill?

Why not go post notices

looking for miracle-working physicians?

We're already doing that.

How much longer can Fengxun live?

Zhang Baichou!

Your Majesty,

His Highness the second

might not survive tonight.

Spare my life, Your Highness!

Spare my life, Your Highness!

Spare my life, Your Highness...

Am I really

going to die in this place?

Stone,

how will you live on after I'm gone?

Um...

Death is inevitable.

Some deaths are as significant as Mount Tai,

while some are as insignificant as a feather.

Um...

Humans are all mortal,

but I will leave my immortal name in history!

That's it.

OK.

I'm leaving now.

OK.

Um?

Um?

What's happening outside?

His Highness the second is mortally injured and cannot be cured,

so there's going to be a national mourning soon.

Nalan has died?

Open the door.

You...

You...

What are you guys doing?

His Highness commands that

you and Zhang Baichou shall be sacrificed during the national mourning.

This is your fate.

You'd better accept that.

I'm not going out.

I'm not the one to blame.

Why am I to be sacrificed?

I'm just over 20 years old.

You...

You're committing a crime.

I'll call the police!

Liuzi,

are you lying to me?

His Highness the second is still alive, isn't he?

You're testing my loyalty,

aren't you?

His Highness the second hasn't died yet,

but there's no way to save him now.

He's still alive?

Yeah.

I can save him.

You can tell him

that I'm a famous physician in Donglin,

and that my medical skills far exceed those of Zhang Baichou.

Tell him now!

Mr. Qingmu,

she can...

Take her away.

Yes.

Hey!

Don't.

I can save His Highness the second.

Liuzi!

Liuzi!

Hey!

Help me, Liuzi!

She can...

Liuzi!

Alas.

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do?

Ah, what to do now, what to do now?

What should I do?

His Highness!

Hey!

Every one of you

claimed to be "miracle-working physicians",

but I say you're all good-for-nothings!

Fatheads!

If you

fail to cure my brother today,

I shall bury all of you together with him!

Spare our lives, Your Highness!

Spare our lives, Your Highness!

Spare our lives, Your Highness!

Zhang Baichou,

how dare you claim to be one of the best physicians of Nanyan?

The imperial court has been keeping you guys all these years,

but none of you

proves yourself useful at crucial moments.

Your Highness,

we've taken her here.

What's the use?

Take her out,

and behead her.

Yes.

Your Highness!

Wait.

Your Highness,

Ruoxi can save His Highness the second.

Is that true?

What a nonsense!

Your Highness,

Lan Ruoxi is one of the best physicians in Donglin,

where she is known as "the second Ji Xianyun the Doctor Wonder".

Can you bring Fengxun back to life?

Yes.

Let her try.

Your Highness!

If you fail to save him,

I'll cut you to pieces.

Deal.

Your Highness,

I'm willing to assist

this Doctor Wonder.

How come his pulses are so irregular?

What medicines do you treat him with?

Just...

Just some antidotes.

You're not helping.

Prepare some boiling water, strong liquor,

and a knife for me.

The knife should be small and sharp.

Doctor Zhang,

help me write a prescription.

You want me to help you?

How dare you speak to me like this?

Isatis root, 40 grams;

oldenlandia, 35 grams;

scutellaria barbata,

rhizoma alismatis,

and rehmannia glutinosa,

each of these three 15 grams;

prunella vulgaris,

wild chrysanthemum flower,

and dandelion, each of these three 25 grams;

Japanese thistles,

cogongrass rhizome,

each of these two 25 grams;

phyllodium pulchellum, 20 grams;

centipede,

scorpion,

earthworm, each of these three 5 grams.

Go!

Go prepare these medicines.

Yes.

Yes.

Hey.

What...

What are you doing?

Cleaning the wound.

This part of flesh has ulcerated.

The infection can kill him

even if the poison is removed.

Time is pressing now,

so I can only simplify the treatment.

Which state does this method come from?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey!

You...

How bold you are

to abuse His Highness

in the name

of giving him treatment!

Doctor Zhang,

let me tell you this—

I only say it once:

this is called acupuncture.

It's for treating arrhythmia

and calming down the "internal wind".

I can't guarantee that my hands won't tremble

if you keep nagging me.

Your Highness,

I'm performing an operation, so please stay outside.

Your Majesty,

she...

She...

She's so detestable.

Detestable.

Really detestable.

Give it to me.

How is His Highness now?

The poison is under control.

Good for you.

You seem to be a capable physician.

Excuse me.

How come there's still no news about the progress?

Please calm down, Your Highness.

No news is good news

for the time being.

Ah.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

Through my...

well,

through my concerted effort with Doctor Wonder,

His Highness the second

is out of danger now.

Really?

Sure.

He's temporarily out of danger,

but there's likely to be a relapse.

His Highness was poisoned by mixed toxins.

Judging from the symptoms,

the main part is snake venom, which causes the "wind-fire poisoning syndrome".

If properly treated at the beginning,

he should have woken up by now.

What a pity you didn't trust me.

The optimum time for treatment is missed.

Therefore we can only treat him and examine the effects at the same time.

OK. I'll go take a look.

Wait a sec.

Presumptuous!

Let go of your hand!

You're too bold.

The patient cannot be blown by wind or be disturbed by noises.

If you have to get in,

please walk softly.

How bold you are!

This little girl

might be a challenge to my position.

This woman surely has outstanding medical skills.

Although she is from Donglin,

we can make her work for us

if we offer her great benefits.

Your Highness,

she is Lan Ruoxi, a "golden bodyguard" dispatched by our state.

I sent her to Dongling to steal their military deployment map.

Your Highness, impressed by her alertness,

asked her in particular to look for His Highness the second.

Don't you remember?

Oh?

Why do I have no memory of such a person?

Have I made it clear to everyone?

That's the task of this operation.

Understood?

Yes!

No wonder she looks familiar to me.

Is this Lan Ruoxi the woman who lost touch with other bodyguards,

and who hooked up with the Crown Prince of Donglin?

That's her.

I'm afraid she might have betrayed us.

In that case, it's harmful to have her by our side.

Be careful, Your Highness.

I know how to deal with her.

Would you please let go of me?

Am I not a prince of Nanyan?

I won't run away.

Set him free.

Brother.

Haha.

You wanna run?

Think no more of that.

OK?

I...

You...

Stop arguing.

Who shall be the successor

to the throne of Nanyan if you're gone?

Why do you say that?

Brother,

don't you know "the eldest brother plays the role of the father"?

Of course you'll be the successor.

Huh.

Fengxun,

you know,

my favorite undertaking

is fighting with my fellow soldiers.

Um-hum.

And what I hate most

is dealing with those political affairs.

Um-hum.

How can I continue to be a warrior

if you're gone?

I know that.

But you also know that

my favorite undertaking is treating patients.

Good.

Um-hum.

You like treating patients,

you want to be a physician?

Yep.

I have built a hospital for you.

Well...

Um...

Donglin is more advanced in terms of medicine.

They have various medical books left by Ji Xianyun.

Perhaps someday

I will be able to cure our mother's chronic disease.

Alas, Fengxun.

You're such a weak boy,

and you're seldom far away from home.

Do you know how dangerous the outside world is?

Do you?

Then...

Then...

Well,

how about you dispatch more bodyguards to protect me?

How about that?

Ho ho.

"Protect"?

Yeah.

How is that possible?

Ji Xianyun is far away in the imperial city of Donglin.

You'll be dead for sure

if your identity is disclosed in Donglin.

Then...

Brother, but I...

Stop arguing!

I definitely will not

approve of that.

Open the door.

Hey, brother.

I have one thing to discuss with you.

Well?

How about I serve as your adviser

after I finish my learning in Donglin?

How about that?

Is that OK?

Um.

Um.

Trust me once.

Lock it!

Lock?

You...

You really locked the door?

Could you please be reasonable?

What if I locked you in a room

and forbade you to fight wars?

What would you feel about that?

Hey.

Rebu Hadi.

Rebu Hadi.

Hey,

you two.

Don't you know I'm the prince?

Come over here, you guys!

Let me out.

Come here!

Hey.

Rebu Hadi.

Brother, oh my brother.

Ho ho.

Do you think you can really lock me in here?

Fengxun.

Fengxun!

A bunch of good-for-nothings.

Is it so hard to keep your eyes on a man?

Qingmu,

I want you

to dispatch the bodyguards

to catch him back.

Do it now.

Yes.

Fengxun

Is that the outcome of your insistence on going to Donglin?

Fengxun is indeed on the mend.

I'll give you handsome rewards

if you remove the poison and cure him.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You can make any requests

during the treatment

of Fengxun.

I only have one.

I want to be in full charge of the treatment.

No one else is allowed to interfere.

Please have trust in me, Your Majesty and Your Highness.

Mother,

I propose to appoint Lan Ruoxi as a vice director

of the royal hospital during the treatment of Fengxun.

Please approve of that, mother.

Approved.

Give your thanks.

Eh...

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Highness,

why do you appoint Lan Ruoxi to such a high post

when we're still suspicious of her?

Wouldn't this make her more arrogant?

Our top priority now is to cure Fengxun.

I'll keep an eye

on this Lan Ruoxi.

I don't think she'd be able to play any trick.

We'll investigate her

after Fengxun recovers.

Your Highness is sagacious indeed.

I'm too foolish to think of that.

Your Highness,

Mujin has come.

What's the matter with our Princess?

She has been like this

since I saved her out of Donglin.

Princess!

Your Highness

I'm Mujin.

Look at me.

Princess.

Donglin and Nanyan have been at daggers drawn

ever since Rebu Fengxun was severely poisoned.

You can take

your revenge now.

Your Highness,

Qi Lingxiao was also severely poisoned.

And Lan Ruoxi has arrived at Nanyan.

Lan Ruoxi?

Yes.

Your Highness,

if love

cannot keep you alive,

then let hatred

sustain your life.

In any case,

please do not give up your life.

I will

live on.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi!

Your Highness,

you've finally woken up!

Ah.

What has happened?

Congratulations, Your Highness!

Nanyan's troops withdrew.

Why did they withdraw?

Was it...

Was it because Uncle reinforced us?

Well...

Ruoxi...

What about Ruoxi?

Where has she gone?

The Crown Princess...

Go ahead!

Ah.

The Crown Princess

took the suspect Rebu Fengxun away without permission.

That's why Rebu Hadi withdrew his troops.

What do you mean?

The Crown Princess

is indeed a spy from Nanyan.

Saddle up for me!

Yes.

Lingxiao, my dear husband,

I should be out of the palace

by the time

you read this letter.

It might be that

my plan has worked,

and Nanyan's troops have withdrawn,

or it might be...

Never mind.

I'll stop thinking about those bad things.

I know that

you always wish me to be happy

and carefree,

but

as the Crown Princess of Donglin,

I can be happy and carefree

only when you and the whole Donglin

are safe and sound.

Please forgive my hasty decision.

I will flee back

if I find the chance.

By that time,

you must testify my innocence for me.

There's one more thing:

you must take good care of yourself

while I'm not by your side.

Your love forever,

Ruoxi.

Alas.

You must think twice.

Are you sure

that you're doing this?

I've made up my mind.

Deprive Lan Ruoxi of the title of Crown Princess.

I

believe

Ruoxi is a good girl.

I don't think

she would be a spy from Nanyan.

That's why

I have suppressed all of the remonstrance to me.

But

I didn't expect that

it's you who came here today

to ask me of this.

Father,

there're many hidden facts

that I cannot report to you for the time being.

But I also believe

she can't be a spy.

It's just that

she's now in Nanyan,

so the more protections we give her,

the more dangers she would face.

The best and only protection to her

is to disclose her identity as a spy from Nanyan,

and announce Donglin's break with her.

Announce it.

Ordained by the Heaven,

the Emperor thus commands:

Lan Ruoxi, the former Crown Princess,

colluded with the enemy state

and betrayed Donglin,

taking away the suspect Rebu Fengxun

when the Nanyan army besieged the city.

An investigation has found

her true identity to be a Nanyan spy.

Lan Ruoxi's title

of the Crown Princess shall be deprived since today.

Moreover,

the search for enemy spies in the palace

will be carried out starting from today.

Anyone found colluding with Nanyan

shall be executed.

Thus commands the Emperor.

How sagacious, Your Majesty.

I didn't expect that

there is

such a magnificent hospital in Nanyan.

Gee.

Isn't this me?

Ah.

Aw.

Oh.

Ah...

Don't damage the picture!

Let go of me!

Ah.

Let go.

Let go.

You...

I just wanted to take it down.

Why are you making such a fuss?

My second brother said

that no one is allowed to touch Doctor Wonder's portrait,

and that

anyone who touches it is his enemy.

You see?

What does it show?

Why is she standing on a ball?

Because Doctor Wonder had proposed

a bold theory:

the earth where we live is round;

it is called "the Globe".

That's right.

I seem to have said that.

Are you Doctor Wonder?
