Princess at Large 2

Episode 17

Ah...

Don't damage the picture!

Hey.

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?

Er...

Sort of.

I'm the physician in charge of treating His Highness the second.

Oh.

Then you're not Doctor Wonder.

Um.

You're "Doctor Miracle".

Hee hee.

You are...

I am Rebu Banxia.

Everyone knows me.

Rebu?

Yeah.

So you are the Princess?

Sure.

Sorry for my discourtesy.

Hey.

No need for that.

No need for etiquette.

Doctor Miracle.

Uh-huh.

Will you always live in my second brother's mansion?

Is this

the mansion of His Highness the second?

Um.

Yep.

Isn't this the hospital?

Yeah.

My second brother

converted his mansion

into a hospital.

He said,

the mansion isn't a snug place to live in.

I can only feel secure when I live in a place

for treating patients.

Uh.

What a weirdo.

I beg your pardon?

Nothing.

I was praising him.

Huh huh.

Hee hee.

What a "ghost" is this?

It's not a ghost.

This work

was drawn by my second brother.

How is it?

Isn't it lifelike?

Hee hee.

Yeah, lifelike.

Excellently lifelike.

Uh.

Nalan,

you should feel lucky that Qi Lingxiao isn't here.

Otherwise

you'd have been doomed.

Um.

Doctor Miracle,

eh,

can I stay here

and learn medicine from you?

Why's that?

Because

I've been frail since childhood,

so my mother never allows me

to go anywhere or do anything.

Give me your hand.

Indeed, your small body

is of high vulnerability.

What's "vulnerability"?

Eh...

That's a medical term.

You haven't learned about that.

Well,

if you want,

you can be my "little nurse" at the hospital.

"Little nurse"?

What is "little nurse"?

It's a...

Anyway,

it's a very important post.

You'll be indispensable.

Really?

Yeah.

Hee hee.

Great!

Hee hee.

Angelica dahurica,

astragalus...

Doctor Miracle.

Um?

Can you tell me something about the outside world?

The outside world.

You're asking the right person.

I used to be a travel expert.

For instances,

in the north there're prairies,

on which you can ride a horse,

drink kumiss,

and have barbecues.

And you can go to the west

to climb the Highest Mountain.

In winters,

the best place to go is Hainan Island,

where you can go swimming

and surfing.

It feels so good!

Hee hee.

Hey.

Tell me more.

Don't you know what "going abroad" is?

Going abroad?

It's the medicine for His Highness.

Thanks.

Going abroad?

What is "going abroad"?

Well, for example,

you can go to Egypt to see pyramids,

go to northern Europe to see aurora,

and then

go to Dubai to pick gold.

Moreover,

you can go to Thailand to ride elephants.

Wow.

Wanna go to these places?

Yes!

Then you can go together with me next time.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Read this part carefully.

Let me think about it.

What's up?

How is it?

Yummy.

Open your mouth.

Just eat one mouthful.

Come on.

Just one mouthful.

Good boy.

Ruoxi,

I never forget all the things you did for me.

I promise you

that I will try my best to get you back.

Your Highness,

Prince Junior asks to meet you.

Tell him to go.

Yes.

Why don't you dare to meet me?

Lingyun,

do you have any sense of rules?

Get out, all of you!

Dismiss!

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

It is another trick of yours, isn't it?

That's how you bamboozled everyone last time

when you arrested Qingcheng with a trick.

However you doubt it,

it is the truth.

Ruoxi had saved my life

as well as yours.

But she is a Nanyan bodyguard.

She would even kill people in order to achieve her goals.

What's so strange about her saving you?

All you saw about her was false appearance

and playacting.

That's impossible.

What she did to you

was in no way playacting.

But she narcotized me,

stole the Tablet,

and took Nalan Baichuan away.

Do you

have an explanation for these?

I heard that Rebu Hadi withdrew his troops,

and that our imperial city didn't lose a single soldier.

Perhaps it's her who drove back the enemy

by taking Rebu Fengxun out from the prison.

You're deceiving yourself.

Your Highness,

we've caught a palace maid

escaping out of the palace.

Through interrogation,

we know that

she is a spy from Nanyan.

Take her in.

Yes.

On your knees.

Spare my life, Crown Prince.

Spare my life, Prince Junior.

We can spare your life

if you speak the truth.

Is Lan Ruoxi a Nanyan spy?

Yes.

Think twice before answering.

Is she a spy or not?

She is the No.1 female bodyguard of Nanyan.

She was trained

by Mr. Qingmu.

Who are you?

How can I trust your words?

She deceived me.

She had been deceiving me.

Prince Junior.

Lingyun.

Lingyun.

Ruoxi,

how could you deceive me?

How is Lan Ruoxi doing in Nanyan at present?

Tell me all you know,

and I will spare your life.

I only know that

Lan Ruoxi is now treating His Highness the second

who was attacked by an assassin with a poisoned arrow.

And if she fails to cure His Highness the second,

His Highness will...

What will he do?

His Highness will sacrifice her.

How dare he!

Calm your angers, Your Highness.

That's all I know.

Take her out.

Yes.

Go!

Your Highness.

Dismiss.

Yes.

How is he now?

He's safe now.

Really?

Yeah.

Great.

What are you talking about?

Make a guess.

What a bad girl you are.

Just tell me how he is.

Let me tell you.

He's safe now!

Really?

Yep.

Ah, then my life is...

My...

I mean, His Highness the second

is finally out of danger.

Ah.

Your Highness,

I've brought her here.

Your Highness,

how can I help you?

I heard that Fengxun has recovered a lot,

so I sent for you to inquire about it.

I've rescued His Highness the second out of the jaws of Death.

Now we only need to remove the poison gradually.

Are you certain that he is safe now?

Of course.

You should trust my medical skills.

Good.

There're something I've been wondering all the time,

and now I can finally ask you about them.

Uh.

What do you

want to ask me about?

All my bodyguards call themselves "your minion"

in front of me.

Seems that the title of Crown Princess of Donglin

has added to your arrogance.

Is that true?

Ah.

So there's

another interrogation by the boss

after being questioned by Qingmu?

How do minions behave

in costume dramas?

Er... Your minion dare not offend Your Highness.

Uh.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm curious about

how you managed to become a Crown Princess

after you were dispatched

to steal the military deployment map and look for Fengxun.

Your Highness might not believe

what I'm going to say.

I gained the trust of the Crown Prince of Donglin

and became his princess

in order to

accomplish the task assigned by Your Highness.

Get up.

Lan Ruoxi,

are you taking me for a fool?

The military deployment map is a gift from Qingcheng,

the princess of Lousai.

Well,

Your Highness,

didn't Qingcheng

mention to you

my contribution?

Eh.

We cooperated with each other,

and contributed equally in this matter.

At first,

your minion gained Qi Lingyun's trust,

and sneaked into Prince Zhan's Mansion.

But since the mansion was heavily guarded,

your minion had no way to find the map.

Then, I enticed the Crown Prince of Donglin

to search for the map in Prince Zhan's Mansion.

By so doing I learned about the whereabouts of the map.

The followings were

a series of actions by Qingcheng.

Hey,

Your Highness,

you know that

Qingcheng's Shadow Guards are experts in stealing,

so we must make full use

of their skills.

Am I right,

Your Highness?

Hum.

Qingcheng's Shadow Guards attempted to assassinate me.

Was that also an example of "making use of their skills"?

Ah,

assassination?

Oh no no no.

Our cooperation broke up before that.

That woman tried to persuade me to go to Lousai.

How could I say yes to that?

So our relationship ended.

Then what's your explanation for losing touch with us

after entering the palace of Donglin?

Ah.

Well,

that had to with His Highness the second.

After finding His Highness the second,

your minion intended to bring him back without delay,

but he said he wouldn't go

before he find a certain

medical masterpiece

written by Ji Xianyun.

And he said that

it was a crucial matter,

so we mustn't tell anyone about it.

I had no choice but to stay in the palace

in order to bring him back someday.

That's why I lost touch with others.

Your Highness,

are you alright?

I'm fine.

This defense of yours

sounds reasonable.

Now I'll trust you

as long as you tell me the passwords

for contacting Qingcheng's Shadow Guards.

Passwords?

Why do ancient people like to confirm passwords so much?

Um...

Don't tell me you've forgotten that.

I haven't.

Eh,

the passwords for contacting Qingcheng's Shadow Guards are...

Your Highness?

Your Highness!

What is the matter?

What are you doing?

Ow.

Be careful.

I didn't ask you to treat me.

You should have had treatment long ago.

Thankfully I had brought some medicine with me,

but not much.

You won't recover

unless you use this medicine

for a few more times.

Hum.

Why the fuss about

a minor injury?

Hey.

Do you think

you look manly and cool

when you go to the battlefield in spite of the wound?

What did you say?

What is "cool"?

In the opinion of physicians,

people like you

who care nothing about their health

are as stupid as

idiots.

Presumptuous!

How dare you speak like this to me?

Sorry.

This is your minion's

"occupational habit".

Do not

tell anyone

about my injury.

If you do,

I'll end your life.

Yes.

Uh...

But now

I must put the dressing on your wound.

Please endure the pain.

Stinky prince,

rotten prince,

you're a hypocritical man.

Ruoxi!

Ah!

Damn you.

Why not enter from the door?

Hee hee.

It's my occupational habit.

You...

Um...

It tastes good.

What do you come here for?

I'm asking you.

I just received two pieces of news from Donglin.

Good news,

and bad news.

Which one do you want to hear first?

Boring trick.

The good news is:

you've returned to Nanyan again.

Does that count as one?

The bad news is:

you've been deprived of the title of Crown Princess.

It seems

you feel regret about that.

That's understandable.

After all, you'd been a Crown Princess for quite a long time.

It's hard for you to leave that position.

Nevertheless,

this is an expected result.

OK,

I'll leave you alone with your sorrow.

See you.

Hey.

Is it really an expected result?

Your Highness,

although Lan Ruoxi is not Donglin's Crown Princess any longer,

she...

It doesn't matter whether she is the Crown Princess.

What matters is

she did take Fengxun out of the prison.

Your Highness,

there might be traps.

Lan Ruoxi once said

never suspect a person you use,

which happens to be one of my principles.

That's it.

Your Highness,

Doctor Gu has come.

Let him in.

Yes.

Xifeng,

you have come at last!

Lingxiao,

how's the matter going there?

I sent for you

because there's one thing

I need to discuss with you.

What's that?

Please help.

Our current treatment

can only slow down the spreading of the poison.

Another kind of medicine is needed

for complete cure.

What kind of medicine?

Aconite decoction.

Your Highness!

We can't use that.

We definitely cannot use that medicine.

Why's that?

Aconite, also called Wu-tou,

is highly toxic.

Records in medical books say it can cure

ulcers and carbuncles caused by heat-toxins,

uh,

and remove snake poisons.

But its usage and dosage vary from patient to patient,

and the slightest imprudence

would cause severe consequences.

Then do you have a better treatment to offer?

Hum.

Your Highness,

I use this risky method to treat His Highness,

and I'll be fully responsible

for any consequences it causes.

The "other physician" is exempt from any responsibilities.

Are you satisfied with that,

Doctor Zhang?

Well, that would be most kind of you.

Ho ho.

Sorry for my impropriety, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

there's no aconite in the hospital.

I'm going to gather some on mountains,

so please dispatch several soldiers

as my escorts.

Afraid of death?

I'm just afraid that there would be no one

to treat His Highness the second if I die.

Fine.

Qingmu will accompany you.

Only Qingmu?

If you're too well protected,

the enemy would not show up.

In that case,

how would I find the melon by following the vine?

You...

You're using me as a bait?

Qingmu is my close bodyguard.

He's more than capable

to guarantee your safety.

More than capable.

Yo—

This good boy

is already helping me look for the herbs.

Well, aconites usually grow at places with ample sunshine.

So we'll find them here for sure.

I'm not looking for herbs.

Then why are you looking around?

Your boss is not watching you.

There's no need to feign dutifulness.

This place has a precipitous geography,

so it would be a good position

for the enemy to ambush us.

We'd better be careful.

Go on with your pretensions, good boy.

Hum.

Ah.

Ah...

Watch out, Your Highness!

Your Highness!

I was so careless that

I got caught in their trap.

Please punish me, Your Highness.

Dismiss!

Hey.

Hey.

Let go of me.

Ouch.

Ow.

What's the matter...

Hum.

Thank heavens.

The herbs aren't lost.

She values the herbs more than her life.

So she truly wants to save Fengxun.

Uh.

Are you hurt?

Just some minor injury.

It won't kill me.

I was on the verge of death a moment ago because Qingmu is a laggard,

and now you say that to me?

What is "laggard"?

Hum.

Anyway,

thank you.

I've never seen anyone giving thanks to me without bowing or kowtowing.

Who do you think you are?

That man in black was quite skilled in kung fu.

Your Highness has few rivals

in kung fu.

A man managing to escape under your attacks

must be a first-class killer.

I will send more bodyguards

to protect His Highness the second.

I don't think they would dare

to invade the mansion of a prince.

Command your men

to investigate the background of the attacker.

Yes,

Your Highness.

Qingmu.

What else do I need to do, Your Highness?

I heard Lan Ruoxi say

that you have a laggard,

which almost killed her.

I'm your loyal servant,

and I've never had such a thing as laggard.

Please judge wisely, Your Highness.

Get up.

It might be an organization of Donglin or Lousai.

Select another group of bodyguards

to figure that out!

Yes, Your Highness.

His Highness has a verbal instruction.

Kneel down, Lan Ruoxi!

Just say it if your boss has anything to tell.

I'm decocting herbs for his brother,

so let's just omit the formality.

You...

His Highness, concerned about the safety of the hospital,

has sent a few more trusty guards here.

I've come here to inform you of that

lest you're startled by them.

Well, I thank His Highness for his concern.

This is a medicine for calming the nerves,

which was invented many years ago by Ji Xianyun, the Doctor Wonder of Donglin.

It is amazingly effective,

and is also a gift from His Highness.

Do you have any other business?

I have a question.

Why did you slander me in front of His Highness?

What?

What is laggard?

What?

What is laggard?

Alas.

How is he now?

When will he wake up?

His pulses have become stronger.

If properly treated,

he will wake up within this month.

Report!

Your Highness,

Her Majesty the queen is having a sudden bout of headache,

and an imperial physician should be sent for at once.

Where is the queen?

In the Congress Room.

Great,

this is my opportunity.

Lan Ruoxi,

follow me.

Dress him.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Mr. Qingmu.

Your Highness!

Wait for me...

Ow.

Ouch.

Ah—

Ow.

What a hateful girl.

Your Highness,

why don't you wait for me?
