Princess at Large 2

Episode 28

Season Finale: Part One

Please slow down, Your Highness.

Your wound...

It's just a flesh wound.

Hurry.

Zhang Baichou said Ruoxi would come round soon.

Congratulations,

Your Highness.

After my careful treatment,

Doctor Lan has finally come to.

She's come to?

Yes, Your Highness.

It's all thanks to

Your Highness.

Oh.

Ahem.

What do you think you're doing?

I...

Hoho.

Mr. Qingmu,

that was obtuse of me,

very obtuse of me.

Hee hee.

Oh.

You're awake, Ruoxi.

How are you feeling?

Does your heard hurt?

What about your shoulders?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

Yeah.

Oh right.

Where's Gu Xifeng?

And

who was the assassin the other day?

That assassin

was a national of Donglin State.

Her name was Lunar.

Lunar?

So where is she now?

Huh?

She's fled back to Donglin, I guess.

She came here to kill me,

but you seem concerned about her safety.

You...

You look

pretty all right.

Oh.

Oh right.

What about Gu Xifeng?

Where is he?

It's Qi Lingxiao,

not Gu Xifeng,

that you're inquiring about, right?

Qi Lingxiao

is in Donglin, isn't he?

Why do you mention him?

Knock it off.

His mask fell off

the day you fainted away.

You...

You

know it?

So

what did you do to him?

Come on.

Say something.

Lan Ruoxi,

you had me fooled.

You had me fooled.

Does Qi Lingxiao deserve your protection?

We've got hundreds of bodyguards in Nanyan;

why have you turned traitor?

Why have you fallen head over heels

for that Qi Lingxiao?

I see.

I see.

You enjoy being Crown Princess of Donglin,

right?

Being crown princess isn't a big deal.

There's still no heating in winter or air-conditioning in summer.

I'd rather remain an intern in my own universe

than be crown princess in this universe.

I'd have left the day Qi Lingxiao arrived

if I had really wanted to go.

I chose to stay and cure Nalan.

I didn't know

you'd be so ungrateful.

I appreciate your treatment of Nalan,

but weren't you eager to be taken back to Donglin

when Qi Lingxiao arrived here?

Yes, I was.

But it wasn't for wealth and power.

I hoped I could spend the rest of my life

living peacefully with him.

Alright.

I'll let you give up that idea forever.

How dare you betray Nanyan

because of a man?

Humph.

Betray Nanyan?

I'm not even a national of Nanyan,

so why do you call me a traitor?

What?

Forget it.

I'll tell you the truth.

I'm not from this universe.

I'm not Lan Ruoxi.

Humph.

Great.

Lan Ruoxi,

now you're feigning madness

to protect Qi Lingxiao?

Your reaction is normal,

as there are few time travelers

in this world.

Think I'm possessed, if you like.

I'm a spirit

who controls Lan Ruoxi's body and mind.

So I'm not Lan Ruoxi,

do you get it?

No, I don't.

That's why I don't know

many of the things

she knew,

and many of the things I know

are incomprehensible

to her

and to you all.

What do you mean?

My medical skill, of course.

Can you find another person

in this world who can perform

an operation?

Even Doctor Ghost can't do that.

Besides,

CPR,

disinfection,

the immune system.

Go ask the imperial physicians

in any of the states

if they know anything about these terms.

How do you suppose

I know the skills

and knowledge?

You think I got an epiphany

all of a sudden?

What if that is the case?

Humph.

Did you get an epiphany

and become versed in the art of war suddenly?

Or do you think

the craft of healing is easy to learn?

Oh right.

The other day

I told you something about tourist economy.

Do you think I learned that without a teacher?

There're so many smart people in the world,

so why hasn't it ever occurred to them?

Enough.

You're saying all this

to talk me into accepting your relationship

with Qi Lingxiao, right?

Listen up, Lan Ruoxi.

It's not going to happen.

Mark my words, Lan Ruoxi.

I don't care where you come from

and who you are,

whether you're a fairy or a demon.

I'm in love with you.

I'll defeat Qi Lingxiao and win your heart

fair and square.

Is Qi Lingxiao all right?

You...

I've always been aboveboard.

I do things fair and square

and I keep my word.

Did you get hurt?

Oh.

It's a minor injury,

nothing serious.

Let me take a look.

Let me take a look.

How did you get hurt?

Huh?

Come here now.

I don't need help to undress.

Hey.

My golden armor.

Which is more important, your life or your golden armor?

My golden armor.

Did you just fight a battle?

Who was your enemy?

No.

I got hurt when competing with Qingmu in kung fu.

Qingmu wouldn't have the heart to hurt you.

Donglin sent someone here.

Whom did they send?

Qi Lingyun.

Qi Lingyun?

But he took a blow from me.

His wound must be worse than mine.

Ouch.

Ow.

No, no.

Mr. Qingmu,

you can't go in there now.

Why not?

Didn't you hear His Highness's cries?

You'll know

when the right time comes.

Ow.

Ow.

Ouch.

Ow.

Suck it up.

I'm not surprised at your recklessness,

but why did Qi Lingyun have to act like a fool as well?

He's no fool.

He played many dirty tricks

while fighting me.

That's not what I meant.

Hmm,

haven't you figured out

that it was Lousai's strategy

of sowing discord between you,

first by poisoning Lingxiao

and then by plotting against Nalan's life.

It was designed to provoke a war

between Donglin and Nanyan,

while they could profit

from the war.

It took me and Lingxiao much effort to save Nalan,

and the strife between you two

fitted in exactly

with their wishes.

Earlier you called my mother the secret plotter,

and now you're saying it's Lousai's scheme.

You...

Come on.

It's very complicated.

I only figured it out just now.

You can't go around pointing fingers without proof.

How could I believe you?

If I had proof,

I'd have thrown it in your face

and saved my breath.

Here.

Hold this between your lips,

or you might bite off your teeth.

Humph.

It won't hurt much.

I don't need it.

Shall we get started?

OK.

Ouch.

Ow.

Ow.

Done.

Hey.

Give it to me.

huh.

Classified information is off limits for you.

Tsk.

Big deal.

So what do you plan

to do?

The city is besieged

by Qi Lingyun's troops.

I can't sit idle

and watch him attack our city.

Did Qi Lingyun come here

for Lingxiao?

And for you.

I'm going to persuade him to put up the sword.

No.

Ugh.

Why not?

Can you find a more suitable peacemaker

in your mansion?

I'm good at reading people.

He may look frail,

but deep inside

he's rather obstinate.

You only fought one battle with him,

but I've been friends with him for months.

Of course I know him better.

He won't trust you,

since you're a bodyguard of Nanyan now.

Didn't you just say

he came for me?

Alas.

What if you put yourself in danger

during your visit there?

Escorting Nalan back

was a dangerous experience, and I survived.

I don't care.

I won't allow it anyway.

Come on.

Can't you stop being

so unreasonable?

I'm doing this

for the people of Nanyan as well.

You...

Ruoxi,

you just came round moments ago

and you haven't fully recovered yet.

You can't go.

Which one of us

is the doctor?

I don't believe you.

I'll send for Zhang Baichou

to hear his medical advice.

OK.

Get me dressed.

Imperial Physician Zhang.

Eh?

Announce that she's seriously ill

in any case,

do you understand?

Your Highness can count on me.

Hello, Doctor Lan.

Your Highness.

Ow.

Imperial Physician Zhang,

how is her pulse?

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I wonder if Your Highness,

a connoisseur of weapons,

has ever heard of a hidden weapon

called Icy Silver Needle?

Icy Silver Needle?

What is that?

It's a thin needle

whose tip

is smeared with poison.

When the needle pierces one's flesh,

it'll leave a small red dot

on the person's skin.

Without taking the antidote within three days,

the victim will become weaker day by day

and eventually become

a senseless walking corpse,

commonly known as

a zombie.

Imperial Physician Zhang,

have you finished her pulse diagnosis?

Not yet.

You...

Back in our place, this poison is

often used to manipulate others.

Oh.

Hmm,

Doctor Lan,

may I ask

if there's an antidote

to this extraordinary poison

from remote antiquity?

This poison is extraordinary,

but its antidote is quite simple.

It can be prepared with some

common herbs in a special way

and its preparation takes less than an hour.

Imperial Physician Zhang,

so

what do you think

of my pulse?

Imperial Physician Zhang,

just tell us

the truth.

Yeah.

Imperial Physician Zhang,

just tell us the truth.

In my presence,

His Highness won't put you

in a difficult situation, right?

Sure.

Your Highness.

Yes?

Doctor Lan is...

She isn't ill.

You...

Before I go,

I need to see Qi Lingxiao one more time.

Lingxiao.

Lingxiao.

And you said he's fine.

Lingxiao,

are you alright?

Huh?

Do your hands hurt?

Huh?

Any broken skin?

Huh?

Let me take a look.

You're not my consort any more.

Please behave yourself.

What are you talking about?

Didn't you receive

my writing of divorcement?

Your writing of divorcement?

What do you mean?

Writing of Divorcement.

Lan Ruoxi

is hereby divorced

by her husband Qi Lingxiao

in view of her cardinal sins as wife,

namely, violation of female virtues,

dissipation in sexual relations

and infidelity to her husband.

Henceforth each of them is free

to remarry.

This is a covenant

made voluntarily.

Signed by

Qi Lingxiao.

You've read it?

Yes.

I'm giving her to you.

Release me.

I'll marry you

as soon as I come back.

So that's Qi Lingxiao?

He'd betray you

to get out.

If I were him,

I'd rather die protecting you.

Your Highness,

I know why he wrote that announcement.

I bet he also knows

why I've agreed to marry me.

Rebu Hadi,

you prove no match for him after all.

How's our preparation?

We've got the gate-breaking hammer ready

and we've reinforced the buttresses.

The last three scaling ladders are being made.

Get everything ready before the joss stick burns out.

Yes, Your Highness.

Have you found Rebu Fengxun?

Not yet.

But I heard that he was seen

at the Ghost Market.

Make haste.

Arrange for some men

to sneak in during our attack.

Once we succeed,

they'll take my brother hostage

and demand us to retreat.

Rebu Fengxun,

Rebu Banxia

and the queen,

you must capture at least

one of those three people alive.

Yes, Your Highness.

Dispatch my orders:

All troops shall rest for the moment;

we must not let our enemy suspect

our imminent attack;

we'll take the city by storm

when the joss stick burns out.

Yes, Your Highness.

We've got a battle to fight.

Buck up, soldiers.

Chest out.

Get your swords ready.

Oi, soldier.

Come here.

I'm talking to you.

Where's your weapon?

Umm...

My weapon...

I put it in...

Are you new here?

Lan Ruoxi.

Arrest her.

Hey.

Hey.

I need to see Qi Lingyun.

Witch of Nanyan,

you think His Highness would spare your life?

Take her away.

I need to see Qi Lingyun.

Your wound has just healed up.

Do be careful,

otherwise

it'll rupture again.

A report, Your Highness.

What is it?

I just captured a spy of Nanyan.

I'm sure Your Highness will be interested.

Bring the spy in.

Bring her in.

Move.

Ruoxi.

Little Fox.

Your Highness,

this witch is a bane of Donglin,

therefore I request that she be executed

as an offering to Heaven for its blessing.

Leave now.

Yes, Your Highness.

What's going on?

What are you doing here?

How's Brother Lingxiao doing?

Lingxiao's life isn't in danger at present.

I came here to discuss an important matter with you.

What is it?

Truce.

What nonsense!

Yun...

Your Highness,

the war situation is very complicated.

We suspect

that the hostility

between Nanyan and Donglin

was caused by Lousai.

I've been trying to persuade Rebu Hadi to release Lingxiao.

That's why

I need you to put up the sword.

Your Highness,

please don't listen to that witch.

We're soon going

to breach Nanyan

and get His Highness out.

It's not that simple.

Ruoxi,

the arrow is fitted to the string.

If you shoot the arrow,

you'll probably wound Lingxiao.

He's been imprisoned

as a hostage of Nanyan.

So I arranged for two suicide squads

to sneak into Nanyan during the attack.

One squad shall go rescue my brother

and the other will go after the queen of Nanyan and the princess.

Don't worry, Ruoxi.

I'm smart in these things.

Get over yourself.

We find the queen suspicious.

She even wanted to kill Nalan.

No one is capable of hurting his own children.

How could she do that to her son?

Ruoxi,

could there be something fishy

about the queen's identity?

Yes.

She's concealed it very well.

I'm yet to figure it out.

She tried

using Nalan

as a trigger for the war

between the two states.

It took me and Lingxiao much effort to bring him back to life.

What do you think

she's going to do if she still intends

to provoke a war?

Brother Lingxiao.

Lingxiao is safe for now,

as the guards guarding him

are Rebu Hadi's henchmen.

Once the war breaks out,

Nanyan will fight with all its might.

Those guards will all be dispatched

to the front.

When that happens,

the queen's men will barge into the prison

before your suicide squad enters the city.

Alright.

I'll take your advice:

truce.

Your Highness,

this woman is a traitor to Donglin

and spy of Nanyan.

We can't trust her.

General Li,

there're things you don't know yet.

As a general of Donglin,

your duty is to obey orders.

I'm willing to rid Donglin of this witch

on the charge of disobedience

to orders.

Your Highness.

General Li, you want to protect Donglin,

so do I.

Dispatch my order:

suspend the rest.

Whoever violates my orders

will be executed.

General Li,

I promise you

that I'll get Lingxiao out

by this time tomorrow.

Yes, Your Highness.

I ruptured my wound just now.

Let me take a look.

Ouch.

You should have taken care of yourself.

I'm the commander in chief now.

I don't want to lose face, OK?

Ahem.

Hey.

Come here.

Hmm,

so you're not tired

of goldthread soup yet.

I'm going to decoct

three buckets of it for you.

Then I'll bid Gu Xifeng to see to it

that you have some every day.

Please don't.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

Sit up straight.

Stop fidgeting.

I'm applying medicine to your wound.

Ouch.

Ow.

Suck it up.

Stop fidgeting.

You should have taken care of yourself.

Your Highness.

How's the investigation going?

I've been hiding in the palace of Lousai for a long time

and I finally found out

that six years ago

Lousai sent

a shadow guard with special abilities

to sneak into the palace of Nanyan.

Have you found out their identity?

Not yet.

All I got

is that the shadow guard is a man.

A man?

Keep on digging

until you seek out the man.

Yes, Your Highness.

Lousai.

You mean

a truce?

Yes, mother.

I don't think

a hasty war

would benefit Nanyan.

This war is sure

to end in Donglin's crushing defeat.

In chaos, Donglin will no longer

be a menace to Nanyan.

Why the sudden fear of war, son?

I'm not afraid of any war, mother.

I just don't want our troops

to suffer heavy losses

even if we win the war.

With the unrest on our borders

and the recent victory of suppressing rebels in the south,

Nanyan is now regaining strength.

Besides,

Lousai has been coveting our territory.

I believe

at present

we should negotiate peace

and try to avoid senseless battles.

Did you get all that reasoning

from Lan Ruoxi?

Yes

and no.

Ruoxi

is so kind-hearted

that it'd pain her to see

soldiers of our two states

resort to arms and get wounded

for the strife

of just a few people.

For the strife

of just a few people?

I've never heard

that theory before.

Don't be angry, mother.

Forgive my careless use of words.

Ruoxi is by no means disrespectful to the prince's mansion.

Alright.

Relax.

Rise now.

Yes, mother.

I'm not narrow-minded.

You're so wise, mother.

I think

we must take a war

quite seriously.

As commander in chief,

I mustn't act rashly

and start a war at will.

Hmm,

I agree.

My son is more than a valiant general

on the battlefield.

Oh,

right.

Is Qi Lingxiao

still locked up in prison?

Yes, mother.

I've sent guards to watch over him.

Your guards

would make elite troops

on the battlefield,

yet you made them prison guards.

What a waste of talents.

You're right, mother.

Alright.

You can leave now.

Brothers,

it's time for a change of guard.

We're finally getting out of this dark place.

I'll kill as many Donglin soldiers

as I can on the battlefield.

Yeah.

You,

go over there.

Yes, sir.

Good.

Lan Ruoxi intervened again.

Don't be upset, Your Highness.

In a few days she'll be

at Your Highness's mercy.

You've got everything ready?

Yes, Your Highness.

The queen of Nanyan is under my complete control.

Our men are deployed.

Qi Lingxiao is now placed

at our mercy.

Your Highness.

Speak.

Shall we

take action now?

Yes.

I hate him to the core.

Of course I'll seize

this opportunity.

Go kill him now.

Yes, Your Highness.

Wait a moment.

Do you think it's wrong of me

to destroy two states

just to take vengeance

on one man?

Your Highness.

I'm so glad

to hear that.

Glad?

Perhaps

my princess will be back

in the near future.

My pure and innocent fairy

will be back.

Oh

right.

I almost forgot

that on my way here

I was impressed by a flower

swaying in the wind.

I hope Your Highness

will like it.

I haven't seen any flowers for ages.

Get me another one

tomorrow.

Yes, Your Highness.

Doctor Miracle's medicine pouch

will ease mother's headache, I hope.

Yes.

Hee hee.

Pass on the message at once:

Summon the elite shadow guards to the palace;

bid them to kill Qi Lingxiao tonight

to thwart the truce between the two states.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Who's there?

Catch her.

Yes.

Ruoxi.

Did Qi Lingyun do this to you?

No.

I got this bruise

by accident.

But that's not important.

Qi Lingyun said

he'd withdraw his troops

if he sees Lingxiao by noon tomorrow.

OK.

I'm going to discuss this in the camp.

OK.

I'll marry you

once the war is concluded.

Move.

Let go of me.

Oh.

Mother.

Move.

Get in there.

Doctor Miracle would be heartbroken

if mother had Qi Lingxiao executed.

Oh

no.

I must save him.

Doctor Miracle said

we're a team.

Yes.

Let me out.

Let me out.

Let me out.

Let me out.

Ow.

Ow.

Let me out.

Mother,

didn't you tell me we should be benevolent?

Why did you order a murder?

Mother.

Oh.

Oh.

Hah.

Picking this lock

is child's play for me.

Hum.

Hum.

Hum.

Hum.
