Princess at Large 2

Episode 29

Season Finale: Part Two

Brother Hadi.

Brother Hadi.

Stinky Qingmu,

where's my brother Hadi?

Your Highness,

His Highness has gone to the camp.

What?

He's gone to the camp?

Oh.

Oh, no.

We're running out of time.

What am I going to do?

Given the tension of the situation,

His Highness surely should be at the camp.

It'd be too late to report it to Brother Hadi.

Come with me.

Where to, Your Highness?

I'm mending the robe for His Highness.

Which is more important, the golden armor or Qi Lingxiao's life?

The golden armor, of course.

You...

Come on.

Hey.

Hum.

Hey.

Come on.

Hurry.

Come with me.

Wait a moment.

Huh?

Remember to send the robe and the armor

to His Highness.

Come on.

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Hurry.

Make haste.

Mark this order, Lan Ruoxi.

Yes.

You're summoned

to the palace immediately

by Her Majesty the Queen.

Her Majesty wishes to see me?

Has she got a headache again?

Lord Lan,

this way, please.

Oh.

OK.

You don't need to bring anything along, Lord Lan.

Oh.

Sister,

let's go.

Sir, may I ask

what brought you here?

We've come under the order

of Her Majesty the Queen

to check up on Qi Lingxiao, an important criminal.

Since it's Her Majesty's order,

please come in, sir.

Hold on.

Huh?

Could you kindly show me

the token Her Majesty gave you?

I'm sorry, but it's an order

from His Highness the Crown Prince.

This criminal is very important;

visitors are not permitted in

without a token.

Haha.

No problem.

No problem.

Does Her Majesty really mean to kill Qi Lingxiao?

I heard it with my own ears.

Mother had me locked up

for overhearing the matter.

We must go to the prison immediately.

What are you doing?

No.

This is a very serious matter,

I must report it to His Highness.

No.

We're running out of time.

But...

No more buts.

Qi Lingxiao would be a corpse

after you asked for Brother Hadi's instructions.

Doctor Miracle

would be heartbroken.

Then Brother Hadi

would be heartbroken, too.

Do you want that to happen?

Follow me.

Oh.

Hey.

Hey.

Slow down a bit.

Hey.

Ow.

No problem.

I beg your pardon, sir.

Open the door.

Yes, sir.

Come in, please.

Is it necessary to send so many men

to check up on a single prisoner?

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Is that Qi Lingxiao?

Yes.

I heard that he's an expert

in disguising himself;

once his disguise as Gu Xifeng

even fooled His Highness the Crown Prince.

We cannot afford to be careless

on this inspection mission.

Open the cell door.

I'll check it out in person.

His Highness the Crown Prince bid us

not to let anyone in the cell

in his absence.

I beg your pardon, sir.

Alright.

If you insist.

Watch out!

You're not eunuchs of Nanyan

but Shadow Guards of Lousai, right?

Crown Prince of Donglin,

you're very smart.

Since you know what's going on,

I don't need to waste my breath here.

Sister, may I ask why Her Majesty

summoned me so urgently

if she wasn't taken ill?

What happened?

Stop asking questions.

You'll know where you get there.

Her Highness.

Oh.

Ow.

What are you doing?

What's she doing here?

Is she heading for the prison?

Sister,

do you know

that Her Highness

has learned an amazing skill?

We mustn't gossip about royalty.

Well,

she's very good at picking locks.

I knew we should have had her guarded.

Hey.

Hey.

Slow down.

Hey.

Slow down.

You can kill me.

I failed to do my duty;

I deserve death.

So you are Qi Lingxiao.

Ah.

Are you alright, Brother Lingxiao?

Let's go.

Go.

Follow me.

Lingxiao.

Ruoxi.

Are you alright?

Yeah.

You.

Go report this to His Highness.

Yes, sir.

Doctor Miracle,

you've also come to help him.

Yeah.

It's not the time to make small talk.

Let's get out of here first.

Yes.

Follow me.

Hurry.

Come on.

Your Highness,

shall we report it to Her Majesty first?

No.

It's a very urgent matter.

We have to release Qi Lingxiao first.

I fear Her Majesty

wouldn't approve

of Your Highness's move.

We have to take this expedient measure.

I'll talk Her Majesty around later.

When the siege is lifted,

Her Majesty will cool down, I believe.

Let's go.

You are useless.

Hurry.

Ah.

Humph.

What audacity!

You killed the eunuchs and guards at the prison,

and now you dare attempt to kill my subordinates?

Qi Lingxiao,

do you want to kill me, too?

Mother.

Don't call me mother,

treacherous girl.

Guards.

Take Lan Ruoxi away

and kill her.

Hurry.

Encircle the place.

Move.

Brother Hadi.

Mother,

I've come to rescue you.

Your sister Rebu Banxia,

being Princess of Nanyan,

chose to work with Qingmu to help the hostage

from our enemy state to escape from prison

and kill loyal subjects of her own state.

Nothing can extenuate

such appalling treason.

Your Majesty,

you've kept calling

Her Highness

a traitor to Nanyan,

but

how would Your Majesty explain

that you gave orders to have Qi Lingxiao murdered

while asking Rebu Hadi to negotiate peace?

You, too,

have some explanations to give.

You knew that Gu Xifeng was an imposter,

but you didn't report it.

You proposed peace talks to undermine the morale of our army

when our entire state was resolved to fight the enemy.

You became the consort of our enemy state

despite the fact that you're a secret guard of Nanyan.

Tell us

whose side you are on.

You...

As the queen, you surely know

Nanyan is beset with crises,

yet you've been deliberately provoking strife,

which is destructive

to both Nanyan

and Donglin

and profits none but Lousai.

You committed this horrible crime

knowingly and willfully.

Qi Lingxiao!

Why would my mother give orders

to have you murdered when she was

discussing with me about peace talks

and agreed to release you from prison?

Your Majesty,

why did you have Her Highness

placed in confinement?

Is there anything wrong

with my punishment of my daughter

for her misconduct?

That's not true, Brother Hadi.

I was locked up

because I'd overheard my mother's plan

to have Qi Lingxiao murdered.

Banxia,

don't talk nonsense.

Mother,

this must have been some misunderstanding.

I suspect Shadow Guards of Lousai

have infiltrated our state.

We mustn't fall into the trap

set by dissension-provoking Lousai.

Nanyan has indeed been infiltrated by Shadow Guards of Lousai.

Brother Fengxun.

Your Highness.

Fengxun.

Hello, mother.

Fengxun,

where have you been

all this time?

Not long ago,

Qi Lingxiao,

Lang Ruoxi

and I

found mother's change of disposition

rather fishy,

but we had no evidence.

Then I took the opportunity

of Lunar's abduction

to visit the Ghost Market.

Fengxun,

do you know what you've done?

During your father's reign,

I was a paragon of queenly virtues

and never bothered about state affairs.

But after the demise of your father,

you brothers refused to ascend the throne,

so I, a woman,

had to come to the fore

for the sake of the State of Nanyan.

How would I have kept our state out of harm's way

without using an iron fist?

You're my son,

yet you suspected your own mother

and sneaked into the Ghost Market.

Do you suppose your mother's change of disposition

was caused by some black magic,

Huh?

At the Ghost Market,

I learned from Doctor Ghost

that there was in Lousai

a dark magic from the Western Regions

called Mind-control Sorcery.

Enough.

Fengxun.

Don't be angry, mother.

Please hear me out

if you've got a clear conscience.

You can punish me

if I'm wrong.

To use Mind-control Sorcery,

the sorcerer needs to use

a silver needle

to shut the major acupoints in the victim's skull

so as to reverse the victim's meridians,

Qi and blood.

The sorcerer

then uses the Mind-control Sorcery

to control the victim's mind

and make the victim

a puppet in his hand.

But distance is a crucial factor

in the operation of this sorcery.

The sorcerer has to be

within a 3.3-meter distance

from the victim,

otherwise this Mind-control Sorcery

will instantly

lose effectiveness.

I'm a most loyal palace maid.

Your Highness,

please don't be swayed by the false charge

and fight against your own people.

Calm down.

In Nanyan,

everybody is equal before the law.

I'll do you justice even if the one

who makes slanderous charges

is the Second Prince.

Listen,

Mind-control Sorcery

is a most perverse offense

against nature and humanity.

Its victim suffers

tremendous pain

due to the mind control,

thus

often appears to have a headache.

And the sorcery also takes its toll

on the sorcerer,

who is bound to suffer

from premature aging.

Lu Ying,

it's in recent years

that your hair has turn gray, right?

She always follows mother like a shadow

and her hair is turning gray.

Lu Ying does fit the profile

Brother Fengxun just sketched.

No wonder

Her Majesty acted like she was injured

even when nothing was wrong

with her left shoulder.

So

the person in black that night

was you,

Lu Ying.

What are you talking about?

I've no idea.

What nonsense!

How could you suspect your mother just because of some baseless rumor

you got from the Ghost Market?

Don't be angry, mother.

I can provide

one last piece of evidence.

We can know the truth

at a glance.

According to Doctor Ghost,

despite the feminine nature of this sorcery,

its practitioner

has to be a male.

The more advanced his skill,

the more feminine

he'll look.

But he remains a man in essence.

With a checkup we can easily tell

whether Lu Ying is the sorcerer or not.

What impudence!

Rebu Fengxun,

what are you talking about?

Lu Ying,

dare you rise to the challenge?

Your Highness,

I've never offended you,

so why do you insist on ruining my reputation?

Vice-General Wang.

Yes, Your Highness.

I beg your pardon.

Oh.

Vice-General Wang.

How dare you filthy dogs of Nanyan

ruin my plan?

Watch out.

Let's go.

Are you alright?

Yeah.

Are you alright?

Don't be afraid, Ruoxi.

I'll protect you.

Brother Fengxun,

I'm scared.

It's alright.

Qingmu will protect us.

Mother!

Qingmu.

I'll go protect Her Majesty.

It's alright.

Qi Lingxiao will protect us.

Mother.

Watch out, Your Highness!

Qingmu.

Qingmu.

Qingmu.

Qingmu.

Your Highness.

My lord.

Qingmu.

I'm so glad you're alright.

Your Highness

has always been a great hero

in my heart.

Qingmu.

I've always admired you.

Qingmu.

Your Highness

is so valiant

and intelligent.

Qingmu.

Qingmu.

Today I shall die a happy man

protecting Your Highness,

my master.

Qingmu.

Qingmu.

Stinky Qingmu.

Qingmu.

Banxia.

Banxia.

Qingmu.

Qingmu.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Banxia.

Mother.

Oh.

Oh.

Mother.

Humph.

You'd better lay down your weapon,

or

you'll watch Lan Ruoxi die.

Ruoxi.

Ruo...

Ruoxi.

What's the matter with you?

Back off.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Ruo...

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

If anything should happen to Ruoxi,

I'll burn Lousai to ashes.

Let go of Ruoxi.

Come at me if you dare.

Ask them to make way.

Retreat.

Guards!

Protect Her Majesty.

Yes, Your Highness.

Yes, Your Highness.

Come with me.

Yes, Your Highness.

Yes, Your Highness.

Let's go.

Move.

Follow them.

Come on.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Take up the shield.

Take up the shield.

Brother Fengxun,

what's going on here?

This is the Five-element Formation,

the secret tunnel escape of Nanyan royalty.

Be careful.

Something is off.

The environment has changed.

It must have been Lu Ying's doing.

You'd better be careful.

This is the only path to the exit.

I'm determined to rescue Ruoxi

no matter what.

You can go back if you're scared,

Crown Prince of Donglin.

Humph.

What place is this?

It's the machine-operated formation of Nanyan Dungeon.

All gates are lethal

but for one.

How do we proceed?

Be my guest.

Oi.

Be careful.

If you make the wrong choice,

you'll have to deal with all sorts

of fatal traps.

Even if you make it to the last gate,

you'll trigger the instant collapse of the formation.

Follow me.

What are you doing?

Lighten the place.

Oh, no.

Poison.

Hurry.

Follow me.

Here.

Take this medicine pouch.

It's got some

common herbs in it.

It may come in handy.

Are you sure?

I hope you won't

go back on your word.

I won't.

Hum.

Ahem.

Take this.

It can alleviate stuffiness.

This place is full of traps.

I'll go first.

Hold on.

I'm no coward.

Follow me.

Stop.

So you're the mastermind behind the Shadow Guards of Lousai.

Qi Lingxiao,

you heartless bastard

have no right to talk to my mistress.

Let go of Lan Ruoxi,

or

I'll kill you

and your mad mistress.

Who on earth are you?

Don't you remember me?

Qingcheng?

You're alive?

Qi Lingxiao,

you think I'm dead?

What a cruel world.

You've forgotten me

so soon?

Yes.

I'm alive.

Sorry to have disappointed you.

That fire...

How did you...

You remember that fire?

I thought you only remember your wedding.

I was going to take my own life.

Luckily, Lu Ying stopped me.

Are you beautiful?

You're the esteemed

Princess of Lousai,

but he'd rather choose

a secret guard of Nanyan over you.

You live for love,

but he doesn't love you.

What's the point

of being alive?

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Why did you save me?

I'm so tired.

Just let me go.

Nobody in this world

care about me any longer.

I'd be

better off dead.

I do.

Your Highness.

I care about Your Highness.

Sorry.

You are

not him.

Nothing matters more to me

than Your Highness

being alive.

Your Highness.

If love

can no longer keep you going.

Then let hatred

do the job.

Please stay alive,

whatever happens.

But

how am I going to do that?

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I'll help Your Highness

fake your death.

In this way,

the world will forget about Qingcheng,

while you

can keep on living

as the leader of the Shadow Guards of Lousai.

I'll help you take revenge.

I'll kill each and every one

of Lousai's enemies.

Princess Qingcheng,

You really didn't have to do that.

What?

You mean I should have hanged myself

to make things easier for you and Lan Ruoxi?

You know that's not what I mean.

Your Highness,

please don't waste your breath on him.

All Your Highness needs

is witness the vengeance.

Humph.

Hadi,

I remember promising you

to take Lan Ruoxi along

when escaping from the Five-element Formation.

You...

Humph.

Ow.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

You want to save her?

Come on.

Get them.

Lingxiao.

Your Highness.

Lingxiao.

Lingxiao.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Come back.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

How do we open this gate?

Leave it to me.

What shall we do?

There must be a key nearby.

Let's look for it separately.

Let's go.

Stop.
