Princess at Large 2

Episode 19

What is the matter?

Come in.

Have you come here at Lingxiao's request?

How is he now?

Eh,

and what is the present situation of Donglin?

Yes, I was dispatched by Lingxiao.

He's doing very well.

Oh,

that's good.

Sigh.

All is well if he is well.

Gu Xifeng,

what are you doing!?

I'm kissing my woman.

Lingxiao?

Are you really Lingxiao?

Yes, Ruoxi.

I've come to fetch you.

Um,

Lingxiao.

I'm sorry for that.

It's my bad.

I was so excited that I forgot to remove the mask.

Does it hurt?

Not if you give me a kiss.

Eh,

where did you learn the face-changing art?

Xifeng learned that

when he traveled in Lousai,

and then I learned that from him.

Gu Xifeng should know

that it's very dangerous here.

Why did he...

Don't blame him.

I commanded him to teach me that.

Then

how is he doing now?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness,

we have caught a spy from Nanyan.

Shall we execute the spy at once?

Ex...

Ex...

Ex...

Uh...

Shall we execute the spy at once?

Uh...

Ex...

Ex...

Execute?

Your Highness,

what,

what is your order?

Oh,

I got it.

Your Highness thinks that beheading is not enough to vent our hatred?

Then

we can chop the spy into pieces.

Ah.

Or use five horses to tear the body.

Ah.

Or cut the spy into pieces in public!

Ah.

Your Highness,

what's going on?

Xianyun?

Uh-oh, what should I do now?

Are all these

drawn by Nalan?

Er...

It's because Nalan admires Ji Xianyun's medical skills.

If it's her medical skills he admires, he should display medical books.

Why did he hang your...

hang her portraits?

Eh...

Oh,

this is called idolizing. You don't understand.

Where is Nalan now?

Uh?

Eh...

Hey!

Where are you going?

I'm taking you back to Donglin.

But Nalan hasn't recovered.

He poisoned me.

I'm lenient enough that I spared his life.

Come on.

Do you believe

it's Nalan who poisoned you?

Hum.

I said before

that Nalan is bohemian, likes teasing people,

and has playful manners,

but we know his integrity well enough.

I bet my life

that he is absolutely not the perpetrator.

Just believe me

as well as him for once,

okay?

Besides,

Donglin and Nanyan are on bad terms now.

If he dies at this time,

the two states will certainly be at war,

which, I believe, is a result

none of us want.

We should save him for the good of the states

as well as for our personal friendship.

But

I heard that Rebu Hadi

is going to sacrifice you for his sake.

Is that why

you risk your own life

coming here to rescue me?

His life is worthless

in comparison to yours.

No need for etiquette.

Your Highness.

Brother Hadi!

Hurry up, brother.

Banxia,

are you sure the man whom you brought into palace

is Gu Xifeng?

Yes.

He looks exactly the same as the man Doctor Miracle described to me.

What's his intention

by showing up at this time?

Of course he intends to save brother Fengxun.

Brother Hadi,

don't be suspicious of such a good man.

Let's go.

His Highness is being prudent.

I won't talk with you, Stinky Qingmu.

Let's go,

brother Hadi.

Doctor Miracle!

Doctor Miracle!

I've brought brother Hadi to see the Gallant Doctor!

Rebu Hadi?

Rebu Hadi.

Hey,

don't act rashly.

Remember you're Gu Xifeng now.

Come on,

wear the mask.

Why do you...

Yes.

Let's go.

Brother Hadi,

see?

That is Doctor Gu.

Doctor Gu,

what are you doing?

Eh...

The portrait of an old acquaintance

makes Xifeng sentimental.

He is afraid that it would be unceremonious to meet Your Highness

with a sorrowful countenance.

Ah,

it's okay.

I don't care much about ceremony.

Doctor Gu,

please come out.

Xifeng.

My honor to see you, Your Highness.

How presumptuous you are, Gu Xifeng.

How dare you not kowtow to His Highness?

Qingmu.

Retreat.

Yes.

Doctor Gu has sharp eyes

and confident manners,

just as a man who travels a lot

would look like.

As a Donglin citizen who is said to be

on friendly terms with the Crown Prince of Donglin,

do you come to Nanyan

only for treating Fengxu?

Brother Hadi!

Eh...

His Highness the second befriended Xifeng

when he was in Donglin,

so isn't it understandable

that Xifeng has come all the way to Nanyan

to treat his friend, right?

That's not the whole story.

Oh?

Is there any other purpose

for this journey, Doctor Gu?

Apart from treating Nalan Baichuan,

I've come here

also for the sake of Lan Ruoxi,

the Crown Princess of Donglin.

Gu Xifeng.

I'm willing to hear the details about that.

The medical skills of the Crown Princess

far exceed those of her peers in the world,

so I've learned a lot from her

during our contact.

I heard that

none of Nanyan's imperial physicians

know how to deal with Nalan Baichuan's illness,

so his survival must be

at least partly credited to the Crown Princess.

People often

call me Gallant Doctor,

while I call myself an obsessive doctor.

In Nanyan, there is this peculiar case of illness,

and a peculiar method that can cure this peculiar illness.

So I have no reason to refuse such a chance.

Um.

I couldn't believe it if you only say

that you've come for an old friend,

but

it is undoubted that you've come for the sake of

learning a new method of treatment.

Most people don't know your epithet of Obsessive Doctor,

but I've heard about that before.

Qingmu,

go to see

if Doctor Zhang has come.

Yes.

Brother Hadi,

why do you send for Doctor Zhang?

Doctor Gu

met Doctor Zhang once

when he traveled around Nanyan previously.

Although Doctor Zhang

is not a skillful physician,

he has

a good memory

of Doctor Gu's mien.

Since Doctor Gu has come,

I'll arrange a meeting

between you two.

Eh.

His Highness the second is in urgent need of medical care.

Since Xifeng has come,

we'd better let him

treat His Highness the second asap.

As for the meeting,

that can be postponed to another day.

No.

A short meeting

won't delay the treatment.

Does this Doctor Zhang

refer to Zhang Baichou?

Uh-Huh.

Mr. Gu

has a really good memory.

I, Zhang Baichou,

is honored to meet His Highness,

and Her Highness.

No need for etiquette.

Zhang Baichou,

do you recognize him?

Mr. Gu!

I am indeed Gu Xifeng.

Alas.

Mr. Gu, you look as handsomely charismatic

as last time we met.

You're overpraising me.

There can't be much charisma in an itinerant physician.

But you, Mr. Zhang,

was already a top physician

in this city

when we met last time,

and now you've made further progress,

becoming an imperial physician,

for which I should congratulate you.

I'm flattered.

Nevertheless, speaking of medical skills,

I haven't found anyone in Nanyan

more skilled than I,

that is, excluding you, Mr. Gu.

That's natural, since you're

extraordinarily talented, Mr. Zhang.

Doctor Miracle.

Uh-huh?

What are they doing?

Mutual puffery.

Oh.

Your Highness.

Doctor Zhang.

Yes?

Didn't you say that

you'd like to consult with Doctor Gu?

Why not take this opportunity

and learn from him now

a few effective therapies?

Oh!

Thanks for reminding, Your Highness.

When we met last time years ago,

I really learned a lot

from my discussion with Doctor Gu

on medical techniques.

It's a great pity that

we only met for a short time.

How very lucky I am today

to meet Mr. Gu again.

Now we may dispense with the formalities.

How about we have a further discussion

on the subjects we talked about last time,

Doctor Gu?

I can see Your Highness still doesn't believe me.

I remember

there was a patient whom Mr. Zhang cured,

and if I remember right,

this patient had asthma,

which was caused by the stagnation of coldness and heat in the lung.

Mr. Zhang prescribed

mulberry bark decoction

for this patient.

That's right.

Your Highness,

I remember Mr. Gu praised me

after examining the prescription.

By making up an appropriate prescription,

Doctor Zhang saved this patient, who was treated previously by a quack.

This incident has been

kept in my mind since then.

Your Highness,

there's no doubt that

he is Gu Xifeng.

There can be no mistake.

Good.

Since you're really Doctor Gu,

I'll have nothing to worry about.

I believe Fengxun will recover sooner

with Doctor Gu's help.

That's for sure.

How about I take Doctor Gu

to treat His Highness the second now?

Hey—

There's no hurry.

Doctor Gu,

I have

a small favor to ask you.

Please

do me this favor.

This

is Dong Ziliang,

a vice-general in my army.

Your Highness,

what are you saying?

Oh.

He has been plagued by tinnitus recently.

Yeah, yeah,

I've been preparing provisions for the army.

He can't hear clearly.

Yeah.

I can't bear fortune telling.

Please give him a treatment,

Doctor Gu.

I was wondering

what kind of noises vice-general Dong

is hearing.

If the noises are as piercing as cicada chirps,

the illness is caused by the deficiency of kidney essence.

If the noises are low and rumbling sounds,

then the illness...

Lan Ruoxi.

This

is Doctor Gu's patient.

Don't steal his thunder.

If the noises are low and rumbling sounds,

then the illness is caused by the blocking of the triple energizer meridian,

and the overheating of liver and gallbladder.

Have you ever been angry recently?

Ah.

It makes me feel ashamed to mention that.

I did

have a violent quarrel with my wife a few days ago.

By the way,

I began to have tinnitus just after the quarrel.

Vice-general Dong,

how do you feel now?

Ah ha!

I'm all right now!

Gee,

I can hear clearly.

Doctor Gu is indeed a capable physician.

He's better than that Doctor Zhang.

I was wondering

if Your Highness can finally trust me.

Hey,

Doctor Zhang.

I've recovered.

I can hear clearly.

Seriously,

I'm all good now.

How annoying you are.

Please don't blame me, Doctor Gu.

It's just that

I am too concerned about my brother's safety,

so I have to

confirm your identity.

Please forgive my previous impoliteness

and stay in Nanyan,

so that Fengxun can receive your treatment.

What Your Highness has done

are pretty understandable.

But

I hope Your Highness

can have full trust in me

when I begin treating

His Highness the second.

No problem.

I promise you.

Well,

The treatment for Fengxu's illness

will depend on you two from now on.

Please rest assured, Your Highness.

Banxia!

Hee hee.

Doctor Gu, see you next time.

Banxia!

Ah.

See you, Your Highness.

Your Highness had been most respectful

to that man in spite of his impoliteness.

What a nobly modest man Your Highness is.

Hum.

Stinky Qingmu should be Doctor Zhang's bodyguard.

Oh?

Why's that?

Stinky Qingmu

is such a good flatterer,

and Doctor Zhang really likes to be flattered.

Wouldn't they become bosom friends

if he serves Doctor Zhang?

Ha ha.

Bosom friends?

Hey!

What do you mean by bosom friends?

It really freaked me out.

I had been worrying that you might give yourself away.

What's wrong with your hand?

Um...

It's okay.

I was too nervous just now.

Does it hurt?

It's all my fault.

Wait!

The mask you wear makes me feel

that I am having an affair with another man.

How about now?

Hee hee.

Can you

appreciate my feeling now?

Yeah.

Oh,

I have a question.

How did you learn these medical skills?

Gu Xifeng taught me.

Don't worry.

I'll teach you.

I, Gu Xifeng,

am honored to meet Your Highness.

I, Gu Xifeng, am honored to meet Your Highness.

Your hands should be...

Like this.

I, Gu Xifeng,

am honored to meet Your Highness.

It's not like this.

You need to be more restrained,

and tenderer.

I, Gu Xifeng,

am honored to meet Your Highness.

I, Gu Xifeng,

am honored to meet Your Highness.

You need to change your voice, too.

OK.

There's another thing,

Lingxiao.

There is a local physician of Nanyan

whom I met

when I traveled there a few years ago.

His name is Zhang Baichou,

and he enjoys to be flattered.

Uh-huh.

If you meet this guy

when you come to Nanyan,

just remember what I say.

Got it.

Lingxiao,

let me tell you this.

There're many

acupuncture techniques

due to differences in the lengths of needles,

the positions of acupoints,

and the degrees of tightness of skin.

For instance,

this one.

A short needle.

We should use the fingernail-aided inserting technique.

I'll begin now.

Lingxiao.

Um...

Lingxiao.

Um...

You need to watch this.

Otherwise how can you learn it?

I won't watch it.

This is merely needle inserting.

You're acting as if I were chopping you with knives or axes.

I prefer that...

Ah.

It's okay.

Xifeng,

don't tell anyone

that I fear acupuncture.

Do you hear me?

Fine.

This is my face-changing mask.

This wedding ring

was given by my wife Xianyun.

You mustn't lose it.

This is my family heirloom.

This jade tablet

can prove my identity.

Let's get started.

I, Gu Xifeng, am honored to meet Your Highness.

My dear Stone,

now that you've become

an excellent physician, too,

we shall be an incomparable couple

among the circle of physicians.

What's up?

Nothing.

Hey,

let me have a look.

Well.

Never mind that.

Hey,

let me have a look.

Don't go away.

This is...

Ah!

Ow!

Ah.

Ah—

Now I'm not afraid of acupuncture anymore.

Am I a brave man?

It's my bad, I've made you suffer so much.

It's nothing.

We shall be an incomparable couple

among the circle of physicians.

Am I right?

Firstly, tear off the plaster.

Secondly, clean the wound.

Ah!

What's wrong?

Er,

nothing.

How about

I give you a hand?

Hey,

don't turn around.

He's still half-naked!

Big vinegar jar (jealousy).

Then I'll just leave here.

Put the dressing on the wound by yourself.

I'm going to make the decoction.

Nalan Baichuan,

had she been seeing your naked body

before I came here?

You'd better keep staying in Nanyan

after you wake up.

If I see you in Donglin,

I'll exile you immediately.

Hey,

when did you come?

How about

I come to see you tonight?

No way.

Your identity will be exposed.

This place is dangerous,

so I must protect my princess.

Sigh.

Lingxiao,

your current identity

is Doctor Gu Xifeng.

Do you want me

to sleep in one bedroom

with Gu Xifeng?

He...

How dare he...

So,

Doctor Gu,

please behave yourself

and go to your room to sleep.

Hey.

Hum.

You big villain!

You big villain!

Hey.

Hey.

Stop shouting.

It's me.

Are you crazy?

I am crazy.

It's been a long time since we were together in Donglin,

and now we can finally meet with no one else disturbing.

No way.

Nalan might have an emergency at any time.

Come on,

such coincidences rarely happen.

Come on.

Doctor Lan!

Doctor Lan!

Doctor Lan!

Are you there, Doctor Lan?

Eh.

Coming.

Doctor Lan,

His Highness keeps coughing.

Could you please go to treat him?

Oh,

let's go.

Yes.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, Doctor Lan.

I didn't know it's a normal symptom.

Sorry for disturbing your rest.

It's okay.

You'll know it next time.

Then I'll stop disturbing you.

Please go back to rest.

See you, Doctor Lan.

OK.

Go back to rest.

Bye.

Come on.

Is there anything wrong again with His Highness the second?

Hey,

Your Highness.

Sh—

I've come here on the sly.

Eh...

Your Highness,

what do you come here for?

It's so late at night.

I've been thinking that Doctor Gu has come to Nanyan.

The more I think about it,

the more excited and sleepless I feel.

I really want to hear him tell stories.

But, as a girl,

I can't go to his room.

So

I've turned to you now, Doctor Miracle.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Eh...

What?

Uh.

Um?

He's not here.

Where has he gone?

Oh,

you want to hear stories about Gu Xifeng?

Yeah.

Didn't I tell you a lot before?

Tell them once more.

I really like these stories.

I won't get bored even if you tell them for ten times.

Uh...

Um,

fine.

I'll tell you how Gu Xifeng

competed with your second brother

on medical skills

when they were...

in Donglin.

Great!

Eh.

Uh.

Eh—

The two of them,

eh,

competed with each other on a friendly term.

Uh...

They had planned

to gather a kind of herb on a mountain.

However,

Gu Xifeng went there

ahead of your brother.

Therefore,

Gu Xifeng got the herb,

while your brother came there with no gain.

That's all about this competition.

Doctor Gu was really excellent.

Doctor Gu,

this...

What?

You mean the coughing?

This is normal.

But

His Highness will be hurt by your patting.

You know nothing about it.

This is a standard treatment.

Yes.

Doctor Gu!

Doctor Gu!

Doctor Gu,

I've made some desserts

for you and Doctor Lan.

Where is sister Lan?

She's making the decoction.

Oh.

Doctor Gu,

how about you tell me

something about your travels as an itinerant physician?

Doctor Lan said

you've been to all the places in the world,

and have had many exciting experiences.

Um...

OK?

Doctor Gu is focused on treating your second brother.

How about I tell you his stories?

No.

I've been expecting his story-telling for so long.

I only want Doctor Gu to tell me.

Doctor Gu,

how about you tell me about your free treatments for the public?

OK.

During these free treatments,

I not only saw

something interesting and exciting,

but also experienced

something annoying.

This annoying thing

happened one day

when I finished a day's voluntary work.

A person

came to my room.

Ah!

And she climbed onto my bed.

My goodness!

I told her

that I need rest

after a full day's

busy and tiring work.

However,

she said that

she can't fall asleep,

and she

kept importuning me,

asking me to tell her

all the funny and interesting things

that happened during my free treatments.

Ah?

She wouldn't be satisfied until I did that.

So I kept telling her stories well into the night.

Later, this person

even slept on my bed.

Ah?

How could this person be so selfish?

How could she treat you like this?

Hum!

Hey,

Brother Gu,

do you have any other stories?

Tell me one more.

These are all the strange stories that happened

during my free treatments.

But it's sister Lan who encountered

these strange illnesses during her free treatments.

Ruoxi and I gave these treatments together.

Oh.

Ah!

Brother Gu,

what's the matter with your hand?

Uh...

I once massaged His Highness the second,

who started at my touch,

and bit my hand.

Do you mean that

my second brother bit you?

Yeah.

So he's going to wake up soon?

I'm going to tell brother Hadi

that brother Fengxun will wake up soon.

Hey!

Lingxiao.

Your Highness,

you must be tired.

Thanks for your caring, my beloved princess.

Drink it.

Your Great Highness,

I have one more favor to ask you.

I quit!

Hey.

What are you writing?

War announcement.

Hey!

Wow!

You...

Hee hee.

Give it to me.

No.

Your Great Highness,

this is the first war announcement that you've ever written.

It's really invaluable.

I'll have it mounted

and hang it on a wall in my bedroom

after I come back to Donglin.

Give it back to me.

Wow, this is really

a well-written war announcement.

Hey.

Ah.

Thanks for your caring, my beloved princess.

Here you are.

Isn't this for my foot bath?

It's for cleaning his body.

Take it.

Hey!

A gentleman would rather die than being humiliated,

let alone I, a Crown Prince.

Sigh.

If you don't do it,

then I'll do it myself.

I'll do it!

Turn around.

Eh...

Oh.

Alas,

there seems to be a strong smell of vinegar (jealousy).

Why,

where does it come from?

It's really weird.

You...

You...

Go out before I finish this.

Don't watch it.

Eh,

fine, fine.

I'll go out.

See you later, OK?

Nalan Baichuan,

I've changed my decision.

I'll kill you at once, instead of exiling you,

if I see you in Donglin in the future.
