Princess at Large 2

Episode 22

Gu Xifeng!

Gu Xifeng!

Your Highness,

we've waited for almost two hours.

He won't come.

Gu Xifeng,

you're such a coward!

I'll teach you a lessen after I come back.

Gu Xifeng!

Come out now!

Come out!

How come he's back so soon?

Open the door!

Ah.

Oh no.

Where's your mask?

Where did you put it?

Hum.

Ho ho, Gu Xifeng,

I knew you would be in there!

How dared you stand me up.

Get out!

Be prepared to receive your punishment.

How dare you not open the door!

Your Highness,

I'll arrest him at once.

Your brother is having a sudden bout,

and we're doing our utmost to save him.

He can't be blown by winds for the time being.

Fengxun.

How is Fengxun now?

Uh,

he's out of mortal danger now,

but still needs to be nursed overnight.

Your Highness,

please come back.

Fine,

I'll leave you alone tonight.

Let's choose another day for the fighting.

I was freaked out.

See?

This is the trouble you caused.

Now we can't get away from it.

Come on,

it's okay.

It's odd.

That rascal named Gu Xifeng

must be fooling me again.

Ha ha.

Your Highness

is truly sagacious

and extraordinarily clever.

Are you done with the foot bath, Your Highness?

I'll take the basin away

if you're done.

Qingmu!

Come back!

Alas,

I was forced by female officials

to recite essays and poems these days,

so it's a long time since I came here.

I've been missing you so much.

Take it.

Uh...

Your Highness,

have some tea.

Wow.

This teacup was touched by brother Gu.

Are you really giving it to me?

Great.

I'll take it back and put it beside my bed.

By the way,

are there anything else discarded by brother Gu?

Like

pieces of paper with his handwriting?

Uh...

Oh,

there

happens to be a prescription written by him.

Wow!

Can I have this?

Can I, can I?

Hee hee!

I'll take this valuable piece of brother Gu's calligraphy back

and have it well mounted.

I'll watch it once everyday.

Eh,

please help yourself

if you don't loathe it,

Your Highness.

How would I loathe it?

And...

there're those amazing stories

told by brother Gu.

Your Highness

wants to

meet him alone?

Yep.

Can you arrange that?

Can you, can you?

Ah,

sister Lan,

please!

Sister Lan.

I'm not available.

Don't even think about it.

Fine.

Hee hee.

Yeah!

Great!

Great!

Great!

Brother!

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Banxia,

I'm bathing.

You...

Go away.

Continue with your bathing.

I'm not vying with you for the bathtub.

Stand aside,

and don't come near me.

Brother,

I have something to tell you.

It can't be anything important.

Come on,

it's great good news!

What good news can you bring me?

It's about brother Gu.

He,

he promised me

to tell me stories for a few days.

What's so likeable about that guy?

Oh,

it reminds me...

Did you say

that Gu Xifeng will come to see you for a few days?

Yep.

Then Ruoxi will be alone at the hospital.

Um...

Oh,

yes.

That's right.

Why hadn't I thought of that?

Thought of what?

Nothing.

You're truly a genius.

Get out

and latch the door.

Fine.

When you try for a long time but fail to break through the enemy defense,

there needs to be reinforcements to lure the enemy away from their territory.

Huh,

what a great idea.

Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha.

Ruoxi,

remain seated.

I'll do it.

Ah.

As a noble prince,

Your Highness needn't do such drudgery.

Ruoxi,

I'm learning how to "heal the wounded and rescue the dying".

It would be a pity if there's no one

learning your great medical skills.

You really think so?

Yes.

Haven't you

seen my sincere eyes?

Eh...

I've got an idea.

How about...

How about

you send for all the imperial physicians of Nanyan,

and I hold an experience exchanging meeting

with them?

Well...

Didn't you say

I should teach other people my medical skills?

Doctor Zhang,

why don't you hurry and get in?

You're going to miss Doctor Lan's lecture if you don't hurry.

What are you saying?

You're going to miss Doctor Lan's lecture if you don't hurry.

Fuck off.

Doctor Zhang.

You're going to miss Doctor Lan's lecture if you don't hurry.

My honor to see you,

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I've heard a long time ago that

Doctor Lan is a miracle-working physician,

so it is truly my supreme luck

to be able to come here today for her lecture.

True, true.

I just noticed that His Highness the second

has a rosy face

and his breathing is steady,

so he must have recovered a lot.

I was wondering if Doctor Lan

could show us the recent prescriptions

to His Highness the second,

so that we can learn something from them.

Please feel free to read them.

Aconite is highly toxic,

so I was wondering

how do you know

the appropriate usage and dosage

when you treat the patient with this toxic herb?

And there are many medicinal materials

which we've never heard about

despite our long career years.

We'd like to hear your teaching,

Doctor Lan.

Aren't you two idiots?

A physician's prescriptions

are her own lifeblood.

Aren't you asking for too much?

Your Highness,

look.

There's nothing to conceal about my prescriptions.

I'll tell you now

why aconite is needed.

It is okay to use it in mild amount,

and when you add to it

40 grams

of ephedra,

60 grams

of astragalus,

60 grams

of spina date seeds,

25 grams of honey fried licorice roots,

and 50 grams of pinellia,

the compounded medicine would have the effects of tonifying qi,

improving complexion,

and nourishing health.

Why do you trouble yourself doing this?

Those senior physicians felt no shame consulting me,

so I must teach them

all I know.

I don't want you to concern yourself about others all the time.

You're only allowed to care about me.

By doing this,

I can also avoid the pestering of His Highness,

killing two birds with one stone.

How nice it is!

Am I right,

my dear Stone?

Ah.

It's too late.

Go to sleep, Stone.

No, you go to sleep.

What else do we need to sort out?

I'll help you.

Look,

I'll show you my drawing.

See?

Isn't it good?

Doctor Lan has been giving lectures

these days,

presenting some prescriptions and therapies

which we had never heard of before.

Doctor Lan conceals nothing from us,

telling us all she knows.

Hey,

let's hurry up.

Latecomers would have no seats.

Doctor Zhang.

Hey,

Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang.

Ah, Doctor Zhang,

why don't you come in?

Hum.

Alas.

Somebody starts to show off

after receiving a small recognition.

Today we're going to discuss blood transfusion.

Blood circulates in the body.

If one loses too much blood,

he would be in shock or even die.

We should transfer another person's blood

into the blood-losing patient's body without delay.

Does such a therapy really exist?

I've never heard about it.

But there's one thing we must confirm

before blood transfusion,

which is whether the two persons have the same blood type.

Humans have four blood types in total,

which are,

eh...

which are

type "Jia",

type "Yi",

type Jia-Yi and type Bing.

Hee hee hee...

What bullshit is she talking?

Now,

I'll tell you how to carry out blood transfusion.

First, we need to disinfect the surface of the skin.

Second, we insert the needle.

During this process...

Why have you

come back so early today?

Didn't Her Highness importune you?

I asked the female officials

to give her more homework,

which would keep her busy for half a month.

Your Highness,

today, many imperial physicians gathered at the hospital,

which was heavily guarded,

so I really couldn't take action.

Why were there so many imperial physicians?

It is said that

Rebu Fengxu has recovered a lot

thanks to Lan Ruoxi's treatment,

so the imperial physicians of Nanyan

went there to learn medical skills from her.

I only want you to accomplish the task.

Don't make excuses.

Yes.

Wait.

Since Lan Ruoxi

is so keen on making a fool of other people,

why don't we

give her a big gift in return,

letting her experience

how it feels to be made a fool of?

Retreat.

Yes.

Your Highness,

when on earth

can we go back to Donglin?

It'll be soon.

OK.

What's up?

What's going on?

His Highness the second's illness

has turned worse suddenly.

What?

Prepare silver needles,

burning candles,

and hot water for me.

Yes.

Her Majesty has arrived.

Move aside.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Stand aside.

Hey.

Your Majesty,

His Highness the second has been severely poisoned by aconite.

I'm afraid

he won't be able to survive tonight.

Aconite?

My son...

What on earth is all this about?

A few days ago,

vice director Lan

proposed to use aconite

to subdue the poison in His Highness the second's body.

I had

strongly opposed this treatment,

since aconite

is a dangerously toxic material.

However,

vice director Lan spoke conceitedly,

saying,

saying that she will be fully responsible

for any consequences it might cause.

Now with this new toxic medicine

adding to the former poison

in His Highness the second's body,

I'm afraid even the Golden Immortal of the Great Overarching Heaven

has no remedy.

Guards.

Arrest her!

Yes.

This woman, who has done mortal harm to my son's health,

is unpardonable.

Take her out

and chop her head off.

Your Majesty,

I have one remedy to save His Highness the second.

Please give me one more chance.

Ah!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty,

His Highness the second's health

had already improved a few days ago.

It's me who harmed His Highness the second

by venturing to increase the dosage.

This is all my fault.

Ruoxi has nothing to do with it.

Gu Xifeng,

do you know what you're saying?

Please take the order back, Your Majesty.

How dare you plead with me

for the sake of a convicted woman?

Then I'll execute both of you together.

Guards!

Wait!

Mother,

I, your son,

beg you to show mercy.

Please show mercy, mother.

Your Majesty,

Lan Ruoxi is a top physician in the world.

Why not let her give it a try

since she has a remedy?

His Highness the second might be saved.

Please pardon Doctor Lan,

Your Majesty.

Please pardon Doctor Lan,

Your Majesty.

Please pardon her.

Who...

None of you knows how I feel as a mother...

Fine.

Listen up, Lan Ruoxi,

I'll give you one hour.

If you fail to save my son,

you shall be executed immediately.

Yes.

Burn the needles over a fire.

And then prepare

licorice roots,

indigo naturalis,

rice bean leaves,

cold water,

and adenophora isabellae.

Hold this for me.

Put the candle here.

Your Highness.

A little to the left.

OK.

I think

we can adopt this prescription:

indigo naturalis decoction,

uccus bambusae,

hemp seed soup,

cowry shell scraps,

blood of the six domestic animals,

lotus roots,

and water caltrop decoction.

We'd better let the patient drink a little soybean decoction

in order to reduce the pain.

Go.

Oh no!

It's allergic shock!

Scalpel!

Fengxun!

Ruoxi.

Lan Ruoxi,

what are you doing?

How dare you stab His Highness the second?

I'll kill you even if I die, too.

Over my dead body!

Ah!

Mother!

Mother!

Your Majesty!

Mother!

Save the queen!

Mother!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Mother.

Mother.

Your Highness,

Her Majesty is okay.

Bamboo pipe.

Jinchuang Medicine.

Gauze.

How's it going?

Don't worry, mother,

Fengxun will be fine.

Your Majesty,

according to my diagnosis,

His Highness the second...

His Highness the second

is safe now.

Are you still mad at me?

Even the queen is not angry anymore.

I'm mad at myself.

You almost suffered a disaster

during my short absence.

There, there.

I'm safe and sound.

Let me see what are you doing.

[Map of Nanyan]

Are you already planning the route

back to Donglin?

Nalan Baichuan's health has improved,

so we should not delay our return

any longer.

Nalan's health condition has indeed stabilized,

but

there is something very fishy about today's incident.

Ah,

it shouldn't have been like this.

All treatments were correct.

Besides, he had recovered a lot before that.

Why did he have this sudden bout?

It's odd.

I have to go check the medical record.

No way!

Ah.

You can't go there anymore.

You must rest now.

He is suspected of poisoning me,

and has for twice almost caused your death.

How can he deserve your untiring nursing?

So

you're still suspicious of him?

And you've been

urging me

to return to Donglin all the time...

Have you done anything to him stealthily?

You're suspicious of me?

I...

I was just making a guess.

Then just believe your guess.

Uh.

Hey!

Why so mad at me because of a little suspicion?

[Annotations on Materia Medica]

Nalan,

it's time to take your medicine.

And it's also time

for somebody to eat his meal.

Nalan,

you're lucky to be taking the medicine,

otherwise you would be eating unpalatable meals

cooked by a certain girl.

Nalan,

you're lucky enough to have someone make decoction for you,

so don't be choosy.

What do you eat for lunch?

What do you eat for lunch?

We're having lunch.

Your Highness can eat with us

if you don't loathe our humble meal.

Good.

Then I'll accept your invitation.

Here you are.

OK.

Thanks.

Eh,

isn't Gu Xifeng

eating with us?

He doesn't like the dishes.

Never mind him.

Hum!

OK.

How dare he be picky

about the dishes made by Ruoxi?

Um!

It's truly and rarely delicious.

Somebody is so unlucky to miss it.

Ruoxi,

eat this.

Eat more if you like it, Your Highness.

Ruoxi,

thanks for your hard work last night.

Come on,

eat more of this.

Good.

This is the dish I like.

Didn't you say you don't like these?

Why are you scrambling for our dishes now?

Even if I don't like these dishes,

they still belong to me.

Don't even think about having them all to yourself.

If you want to eat the dishes,

try to use your skills to get them.

This is a dining table,

not a battlefield.

Don't disturb me eating if you don't eat.

Eh,

Ruoxi,

well,

I'll stop disturbing you eating.

Uh,

seems some dishes have been messed up.

Well,

I'll ask Qingmu to cook a set of delicious dishes

and send them here.

OK?

Did I wrong him yesterday?

No wonder he's so angry.

But

he's being so hateful.

Why can't he comfort me?

Hum.

Go away.

I'm still angry.

I'm still angry, too.

But, even if I'm so angry,

I still want to tell you something.

Since you like curing diseases and saving people,

I, as your husband,

won't interfere selfishly.

If you want to continue staying here,

treating Nalan Baichuan,

I'll fully support your decision.

Sorry,

I wronged you yesterday.

Since you've realized your fault,

you should compensate me generously.

Stop joking.

I'm being serious.

I think

there is something fishy about the incident

yesterday.

There should be a team working behind the scenes,

but

we haven't got any clue about it.

Yeah.

We must be more careful from now on.

Yeah.

Ruoxi.

Ah!

Could you please stop being like a phantom?

I've got news.

Huh?

His Highness is going to

lead his troops to fight a battle soon.

He might be gone for a long time.

You can't be too careful

during this period.

What?

You must take care of Prince Fengxun's safety,

otherwise something disastrous will happen.

Disastrous!

Ruoxi,

what's going on?

Why is Donglin attacking Nanyan?

Donglin has always been on bad terms with Nanyan.

In recent years,

the two states have been fighting each other unceasingly.

Then

will a war break out

following Rebu Hadi's departure?

No.

Shi Gen wouldn't conceal it from me

if there's going to be a war.

I suppose

it's merely some small conflicts

at the borders.

Besides, I believe

it's just for the sake of defending the frontier

so as to have more peace time

that the queen of Nanyan commands Rebu Hadi

to lead the troops to the borders in person.

That's good then.

What do you mean?

Are you worrying about Rebu Hadi?

Why are you still

being jealous?

I want neither of the two states

being involved in a war,

because the people

and generals and soldiers will get hurt.

I know.

But at present,

there's one person we should be more concerned about.

Nalan?

Right.

After Rebu Hadi leaves here,

it's inevitable that some people will start to make trouble.

The hospital would be a dangerous place,

and Nalan would be in danger, too.

That's right.

There're no trusty people

around us now.

We must take turns to watch Nalan.

OK.

Lingxiao,

didn't I ask you to fetch my medical kit?

Why are you still here?

What's this?

How...

How come you've found this?

Uh...

It's because

Nalan

admires my medical skills

and idolizes me.

I...

I didn't know he had drawn

this picture until later.

Uh,

it's like a poster.

Po...

Poster...

A poster is...

Anyway,

it is a way of expressing

your affection for your idol.

Oh—

No, no.

Uh...

It's not that kind of affection...

I don't want to hear your explanation.

You must come back to Donglin with me

after Nalan's health recovers,

or after he dies if his condition deteriorates.

There must be no delay anymore.

OK.

Lingxiao.

How blessed you are to have the Crown Prince of Donglin

stay up watching you.

What's that noise!?

It's okay.

It's probably a bird.

We'll be standing guard outside the courtyard

at the order of Prince Hadi.

Please feel free to call us

if you have any request.

OK.

Retreat.

Yes!

You, and you,

stand guard here.

Yes.

Go.

Let's go.

Lingxiao.

You've been keeping watch for several nights.

Go back to rest now.

But I would be

worrying about you.

Be a good boy

and go back to rest now.

Relieve me tomorrow, OK?

Haven't we come to an agreement

that we change shifts once every day?

But you've kept watch for five days,

while I just did it for one day.

Even an iron body cannot bear this.

You're not allowed to touch him

while I'm absent.

Well,

fine,

fine.

Your eyes have already become bloodshot.

Go back to rest now.

Rebu Hadi's guards

are standing guard outside.

You must call them promptly

if you have any need.

Fine.

You're becoming

a verbose and nagging old man.

Just go.

I know what to do.

Go back to rest.

OK.

I just

promised my jealous husband not to touch you,

so you mustn't inform against me.

Never mind that.

I'll clean your face for you,

otherwise

you will complain when you wake up

that I failed to take care of your handsome face.

Naughty boy.

Why did you draw that two-person poster?

Do you know what a big trouble it caused me?

Lingxiao went mad

when he saw that,

and threw it outside after crumpling it up.

I dared not even take it back.
