Princess at Large 2

Episode 20

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I heard Banxia tell me

that

Fengxun bit Doctor Gu,

which is indeed a happy news.

Well,

how is his pulse now?

When will him wake up?

Huh?

Although we can't be certain how many days it will take,

it won't be long,

given his current pace of recovery.

Oh.

Good.

I owe much to you, Doctor Lan and Doctor Gu.

Please accept my bow.

No need for that, Your Highness.

It is our bounden duty to heal the wounded and rescue the dying.

Oh.

I'll fetch the medical kit.

I originally dispatched you to Donglin to carry out the duty of a spy.

Who could have expected

that you had learned superb medical skills there,

and that

you've saved Fengxun's life?

Perhaps

that's what we call the will of Heaven.

Oh.

I suggest

that Doctor Gu

continue to stay in Nanyan

after Fengxun wakes up.

I'll ask my mother the queen to appoint him

the post as a first-rank imperial physician, isn't it a good offer?

Your Highness,

we'll discuss that later.

Your Highness,

this is the decoction made this morning

at the request of Doctor Gu.

Oh.

Come on,

Qingmu.

Help Fengxun sit up and feed him the decoction.

Yes.

No need for that.

You can go now.

Yes.

This is

what I made

for Ruoxi.

Are you ill, too?

Ruoxi has been

laboring herself these days,

so I asked Yuejian the maid

to make a decoction that can calm the nerves and boost the brain,

in order to strengthen her health.

Here you are.

It's you who has been

laboring yourself these days.

Wait a moment.

Thank you.

How forgetful I am.

I always forget

to bring the medical kit.

Alas.

Your Highness.

Qingmu.

Yes?

What do you think is the relationship between Lan Ruoxi and Gu Xifeng?

In my opinion,

they are friends.

Friends?

Can a male friend enter her bedroom at liberty?

Can he?

What?

Gu Xifeng took the medical kit from Lan Ruoxi's bedroom.

Huh.

Are Donglin people so liberal?

It's truly indecent!

Yes, it's really indecent!

Ruoxi.

Um?

You have been

laboring yourself too much these days.

I asked Yuejian to make this nerve-calming and brain-boosting decoction

to nourish your health.

Um.

Come on.

Oh.

Uh-huh?

Wait a sec.

Come on.

Ah—

It can reduce the bitterness.

Yeah.

How come I've had such a dream?

It's indecent.

Indecent.

One!

Ho!

Two!

Ho!

Three!

Ho!

Four!

Ho!

Five!

Ho!

Haven't you eaten enough?

Show me more of your vigor!

One!

Ho!

Two!

Ho!

Three!

Ho!

Four!

Ho!

Brother Hadi,

teach me archery.

Banxia.

Um?

What do you

think of Gu Xifeng?

Brother Gu is the most handsome man in the world.

He is knowledgeable and experienced, and he...

You call him what?

Brother Gu?

Yep.

You call him brother Gu,

and call Lan Ruoxi sister Lan?

Yes.

I don't like.

Call them something else.

Why?

There's no why.

I just don't like how you call them.

Hum!

Hey,

Banxia.

Do you know

what the relationship between Gu Xifeng and Lan Ruoxi is?

They're friends.

Sister Lan told me herself.

Friends?

That can't be.

How is it possible that Lan Ruoxi

should befriend a frivolous man?

Brother Gu is a gentleman.

He's not frivolous at all!

He is just a hypocrite!

How could he have entered a lady's bedroom at liberty

if he were really a gentleman?

Well said.

That's really indecent.

You shut up!

Brother Hadi,

whose bedroom did brother Gu enter?

Lan Ruoxi's bedroom.

Ha ha.

Now I know why

you dislike brother Gu.

Why?

You've fallen for sister Lan.

That's why you can't bear

to see other men staying close to her.

Hum.

Impossible.

I've been a warrior

fighting on the battlefield

for my whole life,

and I never indulge in romance.

Besides,

if I really liked her,

I would have

felt it myself, right?

His Highness is a dignified

and noble prince.

It's impossible that His Highness would fall

for a woman who is just a humble bodyguard.

You shut up!

Let me ask you this, brother.

Do you have

a strange feeling

every time you meet sister Lan?

Do you?

I do feel a little strange.

But

the strange feeling I have

when I meet Gu Xifeng is more intense.

Impossible.

Impossible.

How is it possible that I like Gu Xifeng?

Qingmu,

do you also feel something strange

when you see Gu Xifeng?

Yes.

Gu Xifeng looked very arrogant

when he met Your Highness,

and he even refused to kowtow.

He's extremely hateful.

Stinky Qingmu!

My dear brother,

as a smart commander on the battlefield,

how can you be so silly in terms of love?

Your hatred for brother Gu

must be due to

your love for sister Lan.

Think about it:

did you feel hatred for brother Gu when you saw him

at first sight?

Can it be

that I really like Lan Ruoxi?

Yes.

Impossible.

I've never

liked any woman for my whole life.

Even if I do like a woman,

I would solve this matter as soon as possible,

lest some accident should emerge.

Qingmu,

let's go!

Where are we going?

Where are you going, brother Hadi?

To the hospital.

What are you going there for?

Hum.

To propose marriage.

Ah?

Your Highness.

What's the purpose of your visit, Your Highness?

Lan Ruoxi,

I've come here to inform you

that I've fallen in love with you.

Once Fengxun wakes up,

I'll request my mother's permission

to take you as my princess!

I'll marry you!

Ah!

Your Highness,

are you sure you're going to take a bodyguard as your princess?

Eh...

as a humble physician,

I'm afraid

that I may not deserve the love of Your Highness.

Please take this order back, Your Highness.

The royal hierarchy of Nanyan mustn't be undermined.

Your Highness,

I think

she made a very reasonable point.

Nah.

Lan Ruoxi,

I'm well aware of your concern.

You're just a bodyguard,

and you had married once.

Surely you can't hold a candle to me.

But don't worry about that.

No one can thwart me

from marrying a woman I like!

If anyone speaks against it,

I'll pull out his tongue!

Lan Ruoxi,

our princess has broken the rules for your sake,

so why don't you bow and give your thanks?

Your Highness,

we don't fit each other.

Please

do not force me.

Is this a refusal?

I tell you what, Lan Ruoxi!

Our prince comes from a noble family,

and is of the highest status in Nanyan.

It is your supreme honor and luck

to be chosen by him.

How dare you refuse him?

Who do you think you are?

Hum.

Sister Lan,

my brother and Stinky Qingmu have become muddleheaded

because of their experiences on the battlefield,

and what they say are complete nonsense.

You mustn't mind their words.

What are you doing?

Shut up!

Get out.

Our prince is not muddleheaded!

Move.

Just go.

It's just she fails to realize how lucky she is.

Hey,

Lingxiao.

Lingxiao.

What

are you writing this time?

War announcement.

Sigh.

There, there.

Don't be angry.

Don't be angry.

Uh...

It's a real war announcement!

He proposed marriage to you in front of me.

It's a capital crime!

But he didn't know you were Lingxiao.

Hum,

he will know that very soon.

Hey!

You can't do that.

I...

We mustn't act rashly.

But...

Am I going to watch him taking advantage of you without doing anything?

Lingxiao,

I know you feel unhappy about this.

I feel the same.

But

what does this matter

if we know each other's heart?

Am I right?

Hum.

Promise me

that you will endure all this with patience

before we cure Fengxun,

OK?

I'll get even with them

after Nalan Baichuan wakes up.

OK, OK.

Hee hee...

There, there.

Why is His Highness so violent today?

I heard that he was defeated by a woman.

Who's she?

She must be very powerful.

I don't know.

Let's continue.

Your Highness.

How dared she refuse me?

It was the first time I was so humiliated by a woman.

Your Highness,

you're a hero,

an extraordinary hero.

Don't care about that humble woman.

Qingmu!

Tell all the generals

to come to my study tomorrow for a meeting.

Your Highness.

Let's dispense with the etiquette, generals.

It is for the discussion of a crucial matter

that I've asked you to come here today.

What is this crucial matter,

Your Highness?

It concerns

the family, the state, and the world.

Why do I say that?

Because families come first,

followed by the state,

and then the world.

Therefore,

I've asked you to come here

in order to consult you about

how to get married and form a family.

So Your Highness is having a desire for women.

Right?

Ha ha ha.

What's so funny about that?

Eh, this is indeed a crucial matter concerning the state.

I've asked you to come here

so that I can hear

the opinions of all of you.

Uh.

What should one do

to capture a woman

and persuade her to marry him?

As for my wife,

I got her by giving her mother

500 kilograms of rice.

But Ruoxi doesn't have parents.

It won't do.

Next one.

I got my wife on the battlefield.

Someone was going to kill her,

so I killed the person who was going to kill her!

Then she came to my home with me.

Does that mean I should take Ruoxi to the battlefield?

What if one of us is killed?

That won't do!

Next one.

It's obvious that you guys

haven't understood what His Highness means.

His Highness

wants us to come up with an idea

to get a woman.

Who wants to hear your worthless tricks?

Ha ha.

Vice-general Wang is indeed a clever man.

Tell me about your idea.

Your Highness,

to capture a woman's heart

is essentially the same

as to capture

an enemy.

The point is

that you need to use

military strategies.

Military strategies?

How to use military strategies?

Huh?

Your Highness,

what would you do if you're confronted

with an unfamiliar but powerful enemy?

Firstly,

I shall familiarize myself with the enemy.

I'll send out some scouts

to figure out the situation of the enemy troop,

including the number of soldiers,

the arrangement,

and even

the habits

and preferences

of the commander.

Then I'll accordingly devise a suitable strategy

before launching the assault.

Your Highness is sagacious indeed.

Then

who should be

this scout?

Me?

Ginseng.

Doctor Miracle,

what's your favorite thing?

Um...

Ginseng.

Ginseng?

OK, now I know it.

Ah?

What does she know?

No idea.

After eating fish and meat for several days in a row,

we can finally

have a purely vegetarian meal.

Well,

now I can alleviate some burdens on my digestive system.

Doctor Miracle,

what's your favorite food?

Um...

This.

Chinese cabbage!

OK, I understand it.

What does she understand?

No idea.

Don't be angry,

I like Big Vinegar Jar the most.

OK?

I remember you'd been calling me Stone.

Why

do you call me Big Vinegar Jar now?

Aren't you a Vinegar Jar?

So sister Lan likes big vinegar jars?

Don't be angry, OK?

Leave me alone.

It's my bad.

Banxia,

are you sure

she likes these things?

Um,

yes.

Well,

it is understandable that she likes ginseng,

but isn't it strange that she should like Chinese cabbages?

And who would like big vinegar jars?

Um.

But it's true.

I heard sister Lan say it herself.

She said that she used to like big stones,

but now she likes big vinegar jars.

Sigh.

What a strange preference.

How can I trust the intelligence you provide?

Never mind.

Ah?

Hey!

Brother Hadi!

Um,

not bad.

Take them in.

OK.

These won't do.

You can go now.

Ruoxi.

Hurry!

Ruoxi,

come on.

Be quick!

Your Highness,

what are you...

I've heard that

you like ginseng,

so I've bought you all the ginseng in the places

within a radius of 30 miles.

Do you like it?

Thirty miles?

Yeah.

Do you like it?

Eh,

I do like it,

but

isn't it

too wasteful to buy so much ginseng?

Nah.

It's not wasteful

if the ginseng is for you.

Then

thank you, Your Highness.

Hee hee...

Don't be too moved by this.

Hee hee...

Let's go.

He's indeed quite generous.

Vinegar Jar,

put it away.

Hum!

Ruoxi said she likes it.

Hee hee...

Ruoxi said she likes it.

Um.

And she thanked me.

So the intelligence Banxia provided should be true.

Uh.

Yes.

Um.

Um.

Ruoxi,

come on!

Ruoxi,

I've heard that

you like Chinese cabbages,

so

I've bought you a few baskets

of Chinese cabbages!

Thank you, Your Highness.

Ha ha ha...

Don't be too moved by this.

Hee hee.

Ha ha ha.

Well, we have to eat all these.

Ah?

It was the first time Ruoxi smiled so brilliantly to me.

Ha ha ha...

Let's continue our efforts.

Let's work harder.

Yes.

One, two, three, four.

The other hand.

One, two, three...

Three, four.

Hum!

Hey!

Ruoxi.

I know you like big vinegar jars,

so I've bought a really big vinegar jar

for you.

Eh...

Come over here.

Hey,

be careful.

Sit down.

Hey,

be careful.

Come on,

turn around.

Don't fidget.

Your Highness,

do you have any

discomfort recently?

Uh,

nope.

No.

No?

No.

Ha ha ha...

Ha ha ha...

Effective,

pretty effective!

Ruoxi has started to

concern herself with my health.

How virile and brilliant you are,

Your Highness!

Um...

Let's dispense with the etiquette.

Generals,

today,

I gave Ruoxi another big vinegar jar,

but she seemed to become a little unhappy.

Uh.

Why is that?

Your Highness,

in my opinion,

she might be feeling pressure

because you treat her too well.

I once

quarreled with my humble wife.

After that,

I began to feel it was my fault,

so I kept sending her gifts for three days on end.

However,

she was sacred by that.

She cried and asked me,

Are you having an affair another woman?

So I think

Doctor Lan

must be

very scared, too.

That's right.

This must be the reason.

Your Highness,

how about

suspending your pursuing for a few days

in order to tantalize her?

I can guarantee that

she will take the initiative

to approach you someday.

True.

That's a good idea.

True.

I got your point!

This strategy is called to loosen the reins only to grasp her better,

right?

Yes.

Ha ha ha,

how virile and brilliant you are,

Your Highness.

OK.

Um.

Hey!

Rebu Hadi

hasn't shown up for quite a few days.

Well,

are you missing him?

Hum,

ridiculous!

His absence has made

the air much cleaner.

Ah!

Wow!

Ah!

Awesome.

Um?

What's awesome about that!?

See? The jar is leaking.

Let's go stop the leak.

Uh.

Three days have passed already

without any message from her!

Your Highness.

So she has been staying at the hospital

doing her routine work?

What an eccentric girl!

Sister Lan is a Doctor Miracle.

Of course she is different from ordinary girls.

You just reminded me of an idea!

Compassion is human nature,

and physicians are more compassionate than ordinary people.

Your Highness,

I have a suggestion, which might sound offensive.

You can

make yourself wounded,

and then go to ask her for treatment.

It probably

would arouse her sympathy and caring for Your Highness.

Ha ha ha.

It makes sense.

Ho!

This strategy is called injuring yourself to gain the enemy's confidence.

Yeah,

yeah.

Come here.

Come here.

Come on!

Why are you guys avoiding me?

Come on!

Your Highness,

we dare not.

True.

Ah.

We really dare not.

Qingmu!

Go

fetch a few

condemned prisoners for me.

Yes.

Today,

His Highness is showing mercy to you guys.

Anyone of you who succeeds to injure His Highness

will be exempt from death.

Your Highness,

is that true?

Yeah.

Isn't it a trap?

Can I use a knife?

What?

Your Highness,

can I use a knife?

Guards.

Take him out.

Guards!

Yes!

Take him out!

Spare my life, Your Highness!

Spare my life!

Spare my life, Your Highness!

Spare my life, Your Highness!

Spare my life, Your Highness!

Your Highness!

I apologize, Your Highness!

Please spare my life!

[Endure]

Ruoxi—

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi—

Ah.

Accurate needle inserting,

and dexterous maneuver!

This acupuncture skill

can't be obtained without practicing for a decade.

One can easily tell that it's done by a pro.

Ruoxi,

your acupuncture skill

is really...

Thanks for your praise, Your Highness.

The gold needles on His Highness the second's body

were indeed inserted by me.

How clear-sighted you are, Your Highness.

Ruoxi—

Honestly speaking,

it's been exactly ten years

since I

began practicing my acupuncture skill.

Ho ho.

Ho ho.

Excellent!

Ruoxi,

come on.

Ah...

I was accidentally injured,

and you're the only physician in Nanyan who can cure me.

Ah.

Ruoxi—

Come help me!

Oh, Ruoxi—

Ah...

Put him down over there.

Ahh.

Ruoxi.

Ah...

How did you get hurt?

Ah...

Ruoxi—

Ouch.

I accidentally

injured myself,

and now it hurts badly.

Did I hurt my heart?

Ah,

you go away.

Don't touch me.

I am more adept at

treating such traumatic injuries than Ruoxi,

so let me treat you instead.

Ah, I don't need your treatment.

Well,

do you come here for another purpose

instead of seeking treatment, Your Highness?

I...

Ouch.

Treat...

Treat me, then.

Can you do it or not?

Why does it hurt so much?

Uh?

That's the normal pain one feels when doing acupuncture.

If Your Highness

cannot even bear such a small pain,

then I

would be really disappointed.

Don't overdo it.

Hum.

I can be composed even when being stabbed by knives and axes.

This small pain is nothing to me.

Continue!

Your Highness is truly a noble prince.

Doctor Gu,

the medicinal materials have arrived.

Please go check.

Ah.

Well,

Doctor Gu,

my injury is nothing

compared to the materials.

You'd better check the materials first.

OK?

Besides, these people can take care of me.

OK?

You...

Er.

Ruoxi,

I've heard that

you and Doctor Gu

treat Fengxun with the medicated bath therapy.

Does it work well?

Eh,

the medicated bath therapy is quite effective in expelling toxins,

so we have him take a medicated bath

for one hour everyday.

Uh.

Then,

can this therapy

cure my injury?

Uh...

Yes,

but...

Good.

Then let me take a medicated bath now.

I'm feeling quite ill,

and a medicated bath should make me feel better.

But...

Ah,

just do it.

Guards, retreat!

Yes.

Eh,

Your Highness,

take your time to enjoy the bath.

I'll go now.

Hey,

wait a moment.

Ruoxi,

are you not going to

check my wound?

Oh,

Ruoxi!

Look at me.

How do you

think of my figure?

Huh?

Eh...

Your Highness has bulky muscles,

and is strongly built.

Eh...

And wears well.

Your Highness,

your wound

is not very serious.

You shall be fine

after taking the bath

and having the wound dressed.

I'm going

to prepare the dressing for you.

Hey,

wait.

Ordinary Nanyan girls would throw themselves into my arms

upon seeing me.

Why aren't you attracted by me?

Eh,

just think of me

as someone

different from

ordinary Nanyan girls.

I...

Hey!

Ruoxi,

you...

Sigh.

Where did I do wrong?

Ah,

what else is needed?

Your Highness

needs a basin of hot water.

You...

Get out!
