Princess at Large 2

Episode 8

How did your investigation on Lan Ruoxi go?

Lan Ruoxi has been

meeting with people

in Prince Zhan's Mansion more often than before.

These days

around a quarter to 2 in the afternoon,

she will meet with Prince Lingyun

on a remote footpath behind the palace's eastward wall's rockery.

A court medical official

is having private meetings with a young prince.

Humph.

Lan Ruoxi,

just blame yourself

for being

too greedy

and never get satisfied.

While you already have Prince Lingyun,

you still play mysterious tricks

to seduce His Highness.

So

you can't blame me

for exposing your true colors.

Qingcheng,

what are you trying to do

asking me to come to the back garden with you?

Your Highness.

I have a question that

I want to ask you.

Go on.

I would like to know

if harem or female officials

are forbidden to

have association with the princes in private?

Of course.

What will be the punishment for them

once found?

It depends on the severity of the situation.

They can be evicted from the palace

or beaten to death by clubs.

Oh.

Why do you ask?

Because

I want you to watch a good show.

Take a look.

How is it this time?

Hmm.

This time the purity is good.

We can make it work.

Right?

I think so too.

So lovely.

Who is having a

secret tryst under the broad daylight?

Show yourselves!

Is she talking about us?

Hey,

let's go out.

We didn't do anything we are ashamed of.

Don't be afraid.

I thought it was a guard.

It's you, Prince Lingyun.

Humph!

Wow!

Isn't this the famous medical official

Lan Ruoxi?

Qingcheng,

don't bully people

because you have Lingxiao at your back.

Prince Junior.

I shall never do such thing.

I just heard

recently it's been a lot of

laughter of secret dating heard here.

I was just afraid that

they might violate the palace's rules

and disgrace the royal family.

So I came to take a look personally.

Ruoxi and I

just happened to meet here.

We can't

just listen to one side of the story.

There might be some kind of

misunderstanding.

Wait here.

I'll call

a cleaning maid to ask her questions.

Prince Junior was just afraid

Your Highness and Princess Qingcheng might get suspicious,

so he said we happened to pass by.

But the truth is Prince Junior and me

do meet here often.

Your Highness, in my opinion,

Lan Ruoxi tries to seduce royal family

like a coquette.

This kind of woman

cannot stay in the palace.

Qingcheng,

you can't accuse people out of the blue!

Prince Junior and I are here

to discuss an important mission.

Lan Ruoxi!

Why are you always there when there's an incident?

What's your purpose of

secret meeting with Qi Lingyun?

Maybe you want to take the opportunity

of working in the palace as a court medical official to know members of the imperial house?

Lingxiao,

Ruoxi is not that kind of woman you think.

She meets me

only because of you.

Me?

Ruoxi wants to make something new that can solve

your headache while also

allow you to see the scenery outside the window.

We have been experimenting.

The finished product is almost ready recently.

If you don't believe me, just look for yourself.

Lan Ruoxi,

are you trying to trick His Highness again?

How can such a small thing

solve His Highness's problem?

Lingxiao,

this is just a prototype.

The finished one is customized according to the size of your window.

Ruoxi is so considerate.

She has communicated with me many times over this problem.

Prince Junior,

you need to take responsibility for what you said.

If you guys

can't show us the finished one,

there is no way

you two

can explain yourselves.

Lingxiao,

how about I deliver the whole piece of glass to your bedroom.

You can make a decision after that.

You have my permission.

Doctor Lan Ruoxi is really capable.

She knows everything.

Yes.

And she is also kind, humble and courteous.

That's right.

Shut up!

His Highness hasn't spoken yet.

Who gives you the right to discuss?

This thing is not practical at all.

If it is before and after this hour around one in the afternoon,

what should you do

if you can't block the direct sunlight?

The glass is dyed

which can reduce the dazzling sunlight.

Or you can

just put a curtain on both sides of the window

like the one by His Highness's bed.

You...

Humph!

Lingxiao,

Ruoxi and I didn't lie to you.

We didn't report to you because we were afraid we wouldn't pull it together.

We wanted to tell you after we made it.

So please...

All right.

I know what's going on.

I will accept the glass

and at the same time

forgive both of you.

All right.

All of you can leave now.

Lingxiao!

Lan Ruoxi!

Watch your behavior!

I accept this glass

only because of Lingyun 's hard work.

I forgive both of you

also for the sake of Lingyun.

Please behave yourself!

There is still something important for me to handle.

You all can go now.

You just got lucky this time.

Humph!

Lingxiao,

I think

Red-eyed Ice Toad

did help His Majesty recover,

but

it can only resist the disease for the time being.

Because the main function of Red-eyed Ice Toad is recovering.

If the remaining poison in His Majesty's body

has already clean,

then his pulse condition

shouldn't have shown signs of "string" often.

You mean you think

there is another disease

in His Majesty's body.

Yes.

Not an overt one,

but a hidden one.

What?

We need to heal His Majesty

to improve the army's morale!

Right now Donglin's border are

constantly harassed

and sounded out

by Lousai and Nanyan.

I understand.

Hm.

Hm.

Hm.

Hm.

How bright is the moon...

Are you looking for Lady Lunar?

She is not in the palace now.

No.

I want to recite a poem with you.

Hah!

Sir,

I'm a little busy right now.

I don't have the time to

discuss poems with you!

I...

Where is this eunuch from?

He even likes poetry and literature?

Is it because

Ruoxi felt that it's not safe

for us to make contact?

Oh!

Hmmm?

Lingxiao,

you can

discuss His Majesty's condition

with Ruoxi when you are available.

Ok.

Ruoxi.

Ruoxi.

Come here.

Your Highness.

Mr. Xifeng.

Ruoxi,

come and

discuss the physical condition of His Majesty with Lingxiao.

Stone.

You accused me of not behaving myself.

I'll show you how I behave myself once in a while.

Ruoxi?

Huh?

Come on.

If

His Highness summons me forward,

of course I will go forward.

But

it's been a long time since I stood here,

but I didn't hear Your Highness summon me forward.

Your Highness said before that I didn't behave myself.

I'm afraid this time if I come forward without permission,

I might irritate Your Highness.

You...

Ruoxi,

stop fooling around.

Come here.

Lan Ruoxi,

come and sit down.

Do you expect me to go there inviting you in person?

Ruoxi,

tell Lingxiao

how things are with

His Majesty's physical condition.

Ok.

Every day I felt his pulse,

I would sense a condition called

Pulse of String.

At first

I thought it was a symptom of deficiency...

What about now?

Now...

Want some?

Go ahead.

Hm!

Yurong Cake is the best!

I didn't know you

also like Yurong Cake so much.

I do.

The main ingredient is Poria

which can strengthen the spleen and dehumidify your system.

Also it's so soft and glutinous.

Very delicious.

You...

Your Highness?

Ruoxi,

then

are there any other illnesses

with His Majesty now?

Yes.

I fear he might have a high blood pressure,

or hyperactivity of yang as you know it.

Because he gets dizzy from time to time.

I also think so.

Oh,

uh,

you can

try giving His Majesty treatments

according to the direction of curing hyperactivity of yang.

Of course I will do my best.

But if you can

give me more pieces of Yurong Cake,

I will be even happier.

I have something to discuss with Xifeng.

You can go now.

I will ask Xifeng to

send some Yurong Cakes to you later.

Thank you, Your Highness!

Xifeng,

Xianyun used to like Yurong Cake too.

She also often said

Poria is a good ingredient.

Lingxiao,

actually Ruoxi is...

What about her?

She is the...

Princess Qingcheng is here!

Your Highness.

Princess Qingcheng.

To what do I owe the honor?

I don't feel

very well.

So I came to ask Your Highness

to let Xifeng diagnose and treat me.

I always feel

an oppression in the chest and shortness of breath recently.

And I can't sleep at night.

I am afraid

I was frightened somehow.

What?

Frightened?

I think it's because there are people other than

members of the royal house in the palace at night.

Such as

Gallant Doctor yourself.

Now men or women,

anyone can stay in the palace.

It's very scary.

Ok.

I see.

Since Princess Qingcheng

is so timid,

let Xifeng give you treatments thoroughly.

Prescribe more medicines

to brave you up.

No, Your Highness,

I mean

no outsiders are allowed

in the palace without permission at night.

Lingxiao,

as far as I see it,

Princess Qingcheng is

suffering from hepatobiliary dysfunction,

which

leads to her

paranoid thinking at night

in which she scares herself.

I will give you a prescription.

Just take it on time

and you won't think over nothing at night.

Ok.

It's a good idea.

But Your Highness, what I'm saying...

Um,

Princess Qingcheng,

you have such a beautiful face.

If it pines away,

anyone's heart will hurt for you.

Your Highness, does your heart hurt for me?

Hm.

I will rest well.

Excuse me.

Cheers.

Ruoxi,

after you met Lingxiao in the gallery pavilion,

he mentioned

Ji Xianyun

also liked Yurong Cake.

Oh.

But then what?

That stupid Stone!

Ji Xianyun is right in front of him.

Even you noticed it.

But he hasn't seen it yet.

Humph!

I think

Lingxiao can feel

you and Ji Xianyun

have so many inextricable connections.

It's just that he doesn't want to believe it.

What we should do now

is to create more evidences

for him to believe

you are Ji Xianyun.

What should I do?

Tomorrow

Lingxiao will entertain

the ministers with a medicated cuisine feast.

I will arrange you to be in charge of

the medicated feast in the special kitchen.

So you can make some cuisines

Lingxiao used to like.

Today's cuisines to entertain you all

are medicated cuisines.

First of all,

it's a way to say thank you all

on behalf of His Majesty.

Secondly,

I want to

nourish your body with medicated cuisines.

I hope you all

don't overwork yourselves

and take care of your body.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you for your kind consideration,

Your Highness.

Ok.

Enjoy your meal.

Ok.

Hm?

Hey,

this taste is so familiar.

Could it be

"Soup of Illustrious Career"?

Oh,

His Highness's

deceased princess

used to make this soup.

This dish is called

"Soup of Illustrious Career"

with ingredients such as fresh roses

and sheep heart.

It can cure perturbing heart,

palpitations and insomnia.

Look at this dish.

This one, too!

Yes!

Right?

Right!

The late princess

also cooked this medicated cuisine called

"Spring Breeze".

That's right!

She also said

it could benefit

Qi and

blood.

This second course

is called "Spring Breeze"

which is actually a

stew of

spring chicken

and hippocampus.

Long-term consumption

of this dish

can replenish Qi and blood

and improve physical fitness.

Where is the cook who made these medicated cuisines?

Bring him up.

Yes!

How could it be her?

Thank you, Your Excellencies.

I am Lan Ruoxi,

a medical official who's new in the palace.

Thank you.

These words sound so familiar...

Thank you, Your Excellencies.

I am the newly married Princess of Ming.

First of all,

I want to

thank you all for coming on behalf of my husband.

To welcome you,

I went to the kitchen

and made a few medicated cuisines that I'm good at.

Try some.

You made them?

Yes, Your Highness.

Could I ask why

I am summoned

to the hall?

Where did

you learn these medicated cuisines?

I didn't

learn them from anyone else.

I invented them myself.

But that's impossible!

Your Highness,

have you ever thought

perhaps,

maybe, you have a feeling that we know each other?

But that's impossible!

Impossible!

Your Highness.

What is it?

It's her again.

Why does she show up everywhere?

Qingcheng,

what are these?

These the medicated cuisines I made.

Soup of Illustrious Career

and Spring Breeze.

Your Highness

and Your Excellencies, taste them.

Why does she know the recipes of my two dishes?

Hm.

The taste

is similar to

the taste of

Lan Ruoxi's ones.

This is weird.

Why would both of you be able to cook

the late princess's medicated cuisines?

The late princess and I were best friends.

She taught me when she was alive.

She was a legendary doctor,

so presumably,

Doctor Lan Ruoxi also sees her as a role model.

It's normal that she can emulate her cooking.

Qingcheng!

You...

How dare you,

a humble doctor

to call me by name?

You lied just now

saying these two medicated cuisines were invented by you.

Your offence is compounded!

Your Highness,

please punish Lan Ruoxi!

Why?

Why does she know everything about Xianyun?

Stone,

you must believe me.

Let it go.

I am entertaining ministers today.

No need to ruin the banquet.

Lan Ruoxi,

what the Qingcheng said makes sense.

Go back and reflect on your mistake!

Humph!

I'll see how you can get close to His Highness now!

What is wrong with me?

Why would I get so upset when I

saw her get upset?

Luckily today

you told me what she did in time.

Otherwise

Lan Ruoxi

would have looked good

in front of His Highness

and the ministers.

I only did my job.

Lan Ruoxi

dares to go against

a princess without thinking of her status.

Don't worry.

I will

find out her identity sooner or later.

I believe His Highness

will soon lose interest in her.

Good.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, look!

A little eunuch in the palace made it.

Very good craft, right?

You can't tell it from a real one.

Humph.

Can't tell it from a real one.

Yeah.

True or fake,

who can tell them apart clearly?

Why not?

How could this be true?

Ow.

Hey?

Your Highness?

Isn't your headache healed?

Why are you having it again?

Hey,

Doctor Lan!

Doctor Lan!

Hurry up!

Come here and help.

Don't shout!

Why are you having a headache again?

Huh?

Let me see.

It's OK.

Why not?

I told you to reflect behind closed doors.

Why did you come out again?

Yes indeed.

Other times I was reflecting behind closed doors.

But I should also care about

His Majesty's daily condition.

This is my job.

Then do your job.

Leave me alone!

Stone.

Stone is not for you to call!

Humph!

See you.

Ugh.

Stone has been rejecting me.

Will it work?

How would you

know if you don't try it?

Faster.

Lingxiao is coming soon.

Oh.

Hey.

This one is not lit.

OK.

Hey.

Why did this one die out?

Be careful.

Xifeng.

Hm.

Lingxiao,

Ling...

Your Highness.

What are you doing?

I...

Lingxiao,

since you treat me as a friend,

I'll talk straight.

Since the princess passed away,

you've always been unhappy.

Now you have become the crown prince,

but with your sullen face,

everyone is fear of you.

Ruoxi has something to say to you.

Why don't you talk to her?

Wow.

So many candles!

So beautiful!

This scene reminds me

of the late princess.

Xianyun and Your Highness

were so deeply in love then.

It gives you mixed feelings.

Lingxiao...

That's enough!

My patience is limited.

Lan Ruoxi,

since you are working in Yun Imperial hospital,

just do your job!

If I ever see

you do anything imitating the late princess,

you will be severely punished!

Your Highness, please calm down.

Get out now!

Lingxiao.

Xifeng!

Why would you join her in this farce?

Ruoxi,

I rushed it too much tonight.

I am sorry.

If you are upset or anything,

just tell me,

don't hold it back to yourself.

Xifeng,

you have been helping me so much,

but you were scolded by

Stone because of me today.

I feel bad.

I actually think,

I think,

Stone has forgotten me.

Right now he

is in love with Qingcheng.

Should I let go

and give him my blessing?

I feel every time my presence

will bother him.

Then

can you forget him?

I cannot.

That's the problem.

Ruoxi.

There will be no regrets left behind

if you just try everything.

Give it time and it will work out fine.

Everything

will

change quietly.

Ok.

The glass is dyed

which can reduce the dazzling sunlight.

Or you can

just put a curtain on both sides of the window

like the one by His Highness's bed.

Hm.

Yurong Cake is the best!

I didn't know you

also like Yurong Cake so much.

I do.

The main ingredient is Poria

which can

strengthen the spleen and dehumidify your system.

Also it's so soft and glutinous.

Very delicious.

Your heart

should be completely broken by me.

Xifeng,

after listening to your enlightenment,

I feel much better!

Now

no matter where Stone's heart lies,

I have to create my

own career!

I want to become a good doctor

and save people.

Ruoxi,

this is so true!

Cheers!

Starting today

my goal

is to become an

independent women

and then

I will carry forward

Ji Xianyun's medical skills and ethics!

And then

I will become a legendary female doctor

of my time!

Ruoxi,

this is great.

I support you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Let me tell you,

Stone is

just a stupid idiot!

I did everything for him

but he just couldn't see...

Come on,

Ruoxi,

let's forget about him now.

Let's

keep drinking.

Just enjoy it.

Cheers.

Forget about him!

Drink it!

Die!

Hm!

Hm.

Damn.

Ruoxi.

What?

I'd say

you are a bit drunk.

Go back and take a good rest.

I should go back too.

No!

Nobody is leaving

until we're drunk!

Fine.

Then I will accompany you

until we're drunk!

Cheers.

Die!

Cheers.

Mujin.

Look.

What do you think of my dress?

Your Highness, you look beautiful in everything.

What happened?

I just feel sorry for you.

You are the noble Princess of Lousai

who should get married with Donglin's prince honorably like you deserve.

But now for His Highness,

you're willing to become the shadow of another person.

I

I don't think you deserve to be treated like this!

As long as

he can come out of the pain...

As long as

I can be with him forever,

it's all worth it.

I believe

one day

he will understand everything I did.

Now I am sure

that crazy woman is no longer in Lingxiao's heart.

Then I have to hurry up and get things done

before someone else gets into my way.

Xianyun?

Your Highness.

Princess Qingcheng?

Why are you dressed like this?

Your Highness,

last night

someone appeared in my dream.

Who was it?

The person

you miss so much every day.

She is worried about you.

She asked me in my dream

how you are doing.

What did you say?

I have been watching Your Highness

in deep sorrow day and night.

How can

I say things

I don't believe in?

She is worried about you.

She doesn't want you to torture yourself.

She wishes there is someone

who loves you and cares about you

who can spend the rest of her life

with you for her.

No one can replace Xianyun.

I know I can't replace her.

And I don't have the luxury of

trying to replace her in your heart.

I only hope

when you are in pain,

you can picture me as her.

As long as it can make you happy,

I am willing to do anything.

Princess Qingcheng,

your lies are too clumsy.

You don't have to do this.

Even if you dress exactly like her,

you and her

share nothing in common!

Since so,

why didn't you close the window?

What did you say?

Just a fake outline

can fascinate you.

Can you really tell the real thing from fake?

That figure

is you!

I have imitated Xianyun for a long time.

When you saw my back,

you couldn't tell the difference.

Even if you can imitate her look,

you can't get her soul!

I...

I am trying to learn medicine.

I will soon be able to share your cares and burdens.

I also know a lot of medicated diet.

I also learned how to make Yurong Cake.

Taste it.

That's enough!

I have done so much for you.

Why did you

never look straight at me?

What am I in your heart?

Blind imitation with ludicrous effection.

Why are you doing this to me?

Your Highness!

You will get a rash!

Shut up!

Your Highness!

Our people

found out the identity of Lan Ruoxi.

Like you guessed, she is

not a normal person.

She is from Nanyan State.

She once rescued Prince Lingyun

who met with a misfortune in Nanyan with her mastery of medicine

and gained his trust

before he took her to Donglin.

I checked,

she is closely related to the Nanyan royal court.

So I doubt

she is a Nanyan spy.

Have you witnessed

her meeting with any one from Nanyan?

Not once during

the period when I watched her closely.

Do you think it's possible for her

to sincerely turn to Donglin's side?

Even so,

her former identity

can't be erased.

Keep close watch over her.

A fox will

reveal its tail sooner or later.
