Lan Ling Wang
[Prince Of Lan Ling]
[Episode 10]
Fourth Prince!
Crown Prince?
What's he doing here?
Who's that lady?
Grandma?
What are you doing here?
Prince of Lan Ling's going to die! Quickly help him!
Prince of Lan Ling must die.
Don't you remember?
As I told you before
after he won the battle on Mount Mang
he'd stolen credit from his superior.
So his brother will get jealous of him
and want to kill him.
That is also his destiny.
But...
Xue Wu.
You shouldn't stay by Prince of Lan Ling's side.
You must never fall in love with him.
It is his destiny that he must die.
You shouldn't interfere with his destiny.
Grandma, can't we...
Can't we help him at all?
Xue Wu.
Go back.
- Grandma... - Let's go back.
You're awake.
Do you feel better now?
Your fever's gone.
Here, let's eat.
Where did these food come from?
Since you've just recovered
so I've cooked you a meal to boost up your nutrients.
You see?
This place is so peaceful
just like White Mountain Village.
My wish is once there are no more wars
I must bring my most beloved woman here to live
an grow old together.
I guess...
we should go back to Luo Yang later.
What's wrong?
Why do you suddenly want to go back?
Nothing.
I'm just very tired so I don't want to talk.
- Xue Wu... - I was sick last night.
I'm very tired so I just want a quiet rest.
If it's a quiet rest that you want then we shouldn't go back to Luo Yang.
We should stay here for another night.
We'll leave after you've fully recovered.
I'd like to see the Xue Wu from before.
I'm just the same old me.
What on earth is wrong with you?
You're totally different from last night.
Did I do anything last night that might have mislead you?
You should also know the effects of the Zhous' poison.
I still have some poison left in my body
and after such a long journey and getting soaked by rain
I don't remember anything that I've said or done last night.
So what you mean is
that I've mistaken everything that's happened last night?
Fourth Prince, you have your own life
and the woman whom you're destined to love.
And so do I.
Grandma said I'll marry a man from our village and have children.
So I can't stay here.
Please take me back, Fourth Prince.
I see.
Then I'm sorry...
about last night.
Let's pack our things
and go back to Luo Yang.
Fourth Brother!
I've come to accompany you and Sis-in-law back to Luo Yang!
Fourth Brother!
Miss Xue Wu, I'm so worried about you!
Just stand here and talk.
After spending last night with Fourth Brother
she's no longer the Miss Xue Wu from before.
Am I right, Sis-in-law?
You're mistaken, Fifth Prince.
Don't be shy.
Fourth Brother.
You should really thank me for this.
When we couldn't find you last night
Imperial Tutor knew you'd be here.
So he asked some men to come find you but I stopped them straight away.
Imperial Tutor is so unromantic.
Since you two have been apart for so long
it must have been a sleepless night last night!
Fifth Brother.
The marriage between me and Miss Xue Wu was only part of our plan.
It wasn't for real.
Then let's go back to Luo Yang.
Crown Prince has invited you two to attend the celebration party.
Sis-in-law, are you riding with Fourth Brother?
Well...
I'll just ride with Xiao Dong.
I mean
it'd be more comfortable for Fourth Prince to ride on his own.
Since he didn't sleep at all last night
he must be exhausted.
Miss Xue Wu... I mean, Sis-in-law.
You're still as surprising with your words as before.
I thought you two are having a fight
but it seems like you haven't had enough fun last night?
Fifth Brother!
Let's go.
All right, I'll be right behind you.
Sis-in-law, let me tell you something.
Normally, Fourth Brother doesn't like horse riding very much.
He's very picky
so he's a bit unfamiliar with riding horses.
But he should get the hang of it quickly.
You two will soon find out the fun of horse riding.
Miss Xue Wu, let's get going!
Watch your hand!
Here, bring this over here!
[Kuximo Tribe]
Your Majesty.
We've finished rearranging our troop.
We'd expect to go another 30 miles and arrive back in Chang An tomorrow.
What's that tribe in front of us?
Your Majesty, they should be the Kuximo tribe.
They have a small population and are mainly nomads.
Take them down.
What our soldiers need now is victory.
We must give our morale a boost.
Yes! I'll get them ready right away!
Capture them all.
Go!
Let him go! Let go of him!
You animals!
- Stay alert! - Yes!
Your Majesty!
Let us go!
- Why did you catch us? - Please let us go!
Let us go!
Don't you think
it's been a bit unreasonable for you
to have sneaked behind my soldiers and into my tent so easily
with your poor martial art skills?
You were expecting me?
You're the second woman who has ever dared give me this look.
The first one has run away from me on the battlefield.
If you dare commit suicide
then I'll kill your entire tribe.
- That should include your family, right? - I won't let you hurt them!
Do you know who I am?
Of course I do.
A leader who uses his soldiers to rob and kill innocent people.
I see those animals everywhere near the borders.
I'm the King of Zhou
Yuwen Yung.
I can spare your tribe.
Shen Ju told me
that your tribe has quite a difficult life and is always on the move.
So you're threatened by enemies everywhere.
I'm most interested in people who manage to survive under threat.
As the king, you have a luxurious life.
What do you know about threats?
I do, because I could be killed any minute.
What you said was right.
But my state also has a few animal-like generals
who refuse to obey my orders.
They only listen to someone who is more powerful than me.
He has the ability to make me bow my head
and even kill my two older brothers.
He could even easily bury the victory that I was so close to having!
Whether I can stay alive
also depends on his mood.
So why wouldn't I know about threats?
I also want to be a kind king
but I was born into a battling world.
In order to have the ability to conquer the world
I have no choice but to stain my hands with fresh blood.
I can only rely on myself to create my own peaceful world.
A world filled with peace and harmony.
A world where nobody has to keep wandering around like you
or be under constant threat like me!
A world filled with peace and harmony
where nobody has to keep wandering around
or be under constant threat?
Will it really happen?
Yes!
Within the whole country
I'm the only person who can make it happen.
I'd like you to stand by me
and stay on my side
until you see me create heaven on earth.
Here.
Miss Divine Sorceress, a corner of this dress is burnt.
Do you still want it?
Yes, I do!
It's very important to me.
Can you give me needle and thread?
I want to sew up that burnt corner.
Miss Divine Sorceress, I can help you with that.
I was the one who burned it
so I should sew it up myself.
Then let me wash it for you first.
Okay, thank you.
Miss Xue Wu?
Xiao Dong?
What do you want?
Why don't you go out first?
I'll call for you if I need you.
Don't be so polite! Please get up!
Please get up.
Anyway...
- You may go now. - Yes.
Remember to give me back the dress after you've washed it.
What is it?
You look great.
Is it very expensive?
I'm not sure, I think so.
But it's very heavy, I'm not used to it.
What do you want?
Nothing, I'm just a bit nervous.
Since we're meeting Crown Prince tomorrow
I'd like a chat with you.
I was going to ask you a favor.
Can you find me a horse carriage?
I want to go home soon.
Go home?
Then what about Fourth Prince?
He's got his own future
and has nothing to do with me.
I thought you two looked a bit weird just then.
So I was right.
Although I'm not very educated
but I've seen a lot more people than you in this world.
Whatever it is, can you tell me about it?
I've fallen in love with...
someone whom I shouldn't love.
The longer it's been, the more I love him
and the harder it is for me to stop loving him.
I'm afraid that one day, I might do something irrational
or even change his destiny.
Or maybe
my interference with his destiny
had caused him to get hurt and almost lost his life.
This is getting really scary.
This is not how his destiny should be.
That's why I must leave now.
I don't get it.
Why shouldn't you love him?
Listen to me.
It's totally understandable to do stupid things for the person whom you love.
But if you already know...
that person is not destined to love you
and that you're not meant to be together
but you still do it
then that would truly be the stupidest thing.
No matter what
I need you to help me get out of here as soon as possible.
Please?
- Your... - Don't worry about it.
There's a girl from the Kuximo tribe.
I've already convinced her.
As soon as we're back in Chang An tomorrow
I'll arrange to have her be around Yuwen Hu as my spy.
Yes.
But why did you choose to convince her to be around Yuwen Hu?
Yuwen Hu grew up as a general and is a very rough man.
He's always been interested in foreign women with stronger builds.
If we bring this girl back, it will surely catch his attention.
If we put her close to Yuwen Hu
then we'll get to know his every move.
Your Majesty, but it's a huge responsibility.
Can we trust her?
Her life, as well as hundreds of lives within her tribe
could be lost because of her carelessness.
She'd never dare to betray me.
I understand.
Your Majesty, this is a letter from Yuchi Jiong.
Yuwen Hu has transferred him up to the northern border.
He sent this letter of apology before he left.
He's also considered a courageous general.
Send a reply to him
and say I know his whole family was threatened by Yuwen Hu
so he had no choice but to withdraw his troop.
I don't blame him.
Yuwen Hu is still the real culprit.
Yes.
Right now, I'm sure Yuwen Hu's desperately wanting to see
how I'm going to explain to him for losing the battle.
Send him an urgent letter
and say I'll hold an imperial meeting once I get back to Chang An tomorrow.
Yes.
Yuwen Hu.
I can't wait to see you either.
[Yung An Palace]
- This one's for you. - Thank you, Auntie!
Hey, come over here!
- Eat some! - Let's drink!
The crown prince is here!
Why is it so messy?
Crown Prince.
Prince of Lan Ling said since these slaves had helped with the battle
so they also deserve a celebration.
Prince of Lan Ling said because Crown Prince doesn't mind us being slaves
that's why we're also invited!
Thank you for inviting us, Crown Prince!
That's right, we haven't eaten so much for a long time!
Thanks for giving us so much food, Crown Prince!
Crown Prince.
This is the best time to steal credit from Fourth Prince and win everyone's hearts.
- All rise. - Thank you, Crown Prince!
Qi state is so lucky to have such a kind prince!
Crown Prince.
Come on!
Sit down!
Come on!
- Fourth Prince. - Fourth Prince.
- Fifth Prince. - Fifth Prince.
Imperial Tutor Duan, General Hulu, General Yang.
Miss Xue Wu.
Thank you for your help with the battle on Mount Mang.
You were able to point out the conflict within the Zhou palace
and make the Zhou troops back off without a fight.
Divine Sorceress is certainly very smart.
You've certainly contributed a lot to our victory on Mount Mang.
We'll definitely ask Crown Prince to reward you accordingly.
- Thank you, General. - Miss Divine Sorceress!
Here you are!
So you've all come here!
Fourth Prince, thank you for not looking down on us
and inviting us to celebrate with Crown Prince!
You're very welcome.
The victory on Mount Mang did not only belong to Qi state
but to every one of you.
So it's only right to celebrate together!
Thank you, Fourth Prince!
Miss Divine Sorceress, you're so lucky!
Just as his soldiers say, Fourth Prince is not only very generous
but he even shared the last bits of food with us
didn't look down on us
and forgave our mistakes, right?
That's right!
Like I said before
Divine Sorceress and Fourth Prince had already gotten married in Zhou state.
They're certainly Qi state's perfect couple!
Perfect match... perfect couple!
The best couple!
Yeah!
Fourth Prince is so blessed!
Yeah!
Greetings, Crown Prince!
I, Yang Xue Wu, greet Crown Prince.
This is not Ye City, so let's take it easy.
- Have a seat. - Thank you, Crown Prince.
Everyone.
For the battle on Mount Mang
with thanks to my brother for coming to the rescue in time
we managed to protect Luo Yang.
Fourth Brother.
This is to you.
Not at all, Crown Prince.
With thanks to your strong defense
that's why we were able to protect Luo Yang.
If it wasn't for Imperial Tutor Duan's intelligent strategy
General Hulu's effort in delaying the Zhou's 50,000 soldiers
and Fifth Brother and Yang Shi Shen's courageous fight along with the peasants
I could never have defeated the Zhou troops on my own.
It is certainly Qi state's blessing to have such loyalty from all these fighters!
This is to all of you!
Thank you, Crown Prince!
After our battle with the Zhous they've had quite a major loss.
I'm sure Qi state would have a short while of peacefulness
to catch our breath.
All of you have made important contributions
so I'll report to my father upon my return
and reward you accordingly!
Thank you, Crown Prince!
Crown Prince.
At ten minutes past noon today
I heard our soldiers singing and dancing.
Crown Prince.
What Imperial Astrologist heard was only a casual song
that our soldiers have made up to celebrate our victory on Mount Mang.
It's definitely not something that Crown Prince would enjoy hearing.
Since Crown Prince is so down-to-earth
that he's even invited those slaves to this celebration
why would he mind?
So I don't agree with what General Hulu said.
Imperial Astrologist is right.
I'd also like to hear it.
Ask all soldiers to perform the song in the square.
In chapter 169 to 177 of Sima Guang's 'Historical Mirror'
Qi state's Prince of Lan Ling was both handsome and courageous.
He's gained an excellent reputation from winning the battle on Mount Mang
After the Qi soldiers composed a song named after him
the crown prince got extremely jealous.
Yeah!
Prince of Lan Ling...
So what's the song called?
Imperial Astrologist.
The song that was performed was called 'Prince of Lan Ling to the Rescue.'
After spending the past few years with Fourth Prince
our soldiers have built up a strong bond with him.
That's why they're expressing that feeling through such a performance
after our victory on Mount Mang.
In other words
so it was entirely Fourth Prince's credit
for defeating the Zhou troops?
Do you mean our soldiers are more grateful for Fourth Prince
rather than Crown Prince?
'Prince of Lan Ling to the Rescue.'
Good!
It's clearly presented my brother's courageous act
as he rushed to Luo Yang's rescue wearing his renown mask.
Even my emotions were stirred up from watching it.
It's just that...
Fourth Brother.
Just as the song mentioned
the fact that you led only 500 soldiers through our enemy's camp
was certainly very worrying.
What if anything happens to you?
Crown Prince.
Our state is like my home.
I only wanted to give it my all
so I didn't worry too much.
Fourth Prince, since you said our state is like your home
do you already consider yourself the head of our state?
Imperial Astrologist.
Please don't stir things up.
Crown Prince.
What Fourth Prince meant was
he considers it a family affair because you're his brother
and he considers it a state affair because you'll eventually become the king.
That's why he'd do whatever he can to rescue you from danger
instead of thinking about how dangerous the consequence was.
He's very loyal to you.
Miss Xue Wu, are you trying to cover up something?
Why would you say that?
Although Fourth Prince and I didn't have a grand wedding ceremony
but at least we got officially married in front of Goddess Nu Wa.
So it's only natural that I'd be taking my husband's side.
On the contrary, Imperial Astrologist
throughout history
nothing positive had never eventuated from conflicts between royal brothers.
Lucky Fourth Prince has a good relationship with Crown Prince.
Fourth Prince has already fulfilled his duty
to strengthen the foundation for Crown Prince's future kingdom.
Whereas you seem to enjoy being a troublemaker
who enjoys sowing discord and splitting them apart?
As the imperial astrologist
shouldn't you be watching the stars and predicting the future?
You were the closest person to Crown Prince during the battle in Luo Yang.
How could you put him under the Zhou's threat?
Obviously...
Crown Prince.
Miss Xue Wu's very worried about your safety
so she might have offended Imperial Astrologist without knowing it.
Please accept my apology.
All right.
Let's go back and drink.
Yang Xue Wu!
Why can't you just listen to Grandma?
You big mouth.
You're just going make Zu Ting hate Fourth Prince even more!
Imperial Astrologist...
Imperial Astrologist, you shouldn't go in. You've drank too much.
Get out, all of you!
It's okay, I'll call out if I need you.
Yes.
Imperial Astrologist.
I'd like to apologize for humiliating you in front of everyone
at the celebration today.
Please accept my sincere apology.
Don't think too high of yourself just because a few stupid peasants
are calling you the divine sorceress.
I really don't understand why Gao Chang Gong...
thinks you're so precious.
Hasn't he ever wondered
since his wife had spent such a long time in Zhou state
she might have already become every man's woman?
- You... - Imperial Astrologist!
I see you've come here very late tonight smelled of alcohol.
What are you trying to do to my wife?
I've come here to tell the witch
that I don't care who you are
and I don't care what cheap tricks you use
to help Gao Chang Gong earn people's hearts.
Crown Prince and I are not that stupid.
I'll always remember
how you humiliated me today.
Imperial Astrologist!
Imperial Astrologist, you've really drank too much.
How did you fall flat on your face?
Be careful in future and don't fall down again.
- Imperial Astrologist... - Xue Wu!
Why did you do that?
He was bullying you.
Did you want me to just ignore it?
I didn't want you to help me.
I'd rather let him bully me
than to let you stick up for me.
I don't want to cause you anymore trouble!
Don't be mad.
If you don't care about me
why would you have sneaked into Zhou state and took the poison
in order to get me the antidote?
How could I believe that you don't have feelings for me?
Xue Wu.
What is it that you're afraid of?
Fourth Prince.
Do you believe that my grandma can see the past as well as the future?
Then if my grandma says
we're not destined to be together
would you still believe that?
There are many beautiful women around so why must you choose me?
Since I'm not the woman whom you're destined to love
then why can't you just let me go?
I only know that
if I let you go today
then I'll miss you for the rest of my life.
That's the future that I can predict.
It's true, I can guarantee you.
You'll eventually forget about me.
Because a lady with the surname of 'Zheng' will appear very soon
and she will be your one and only wife.
Princess Consort Zheng.
What if there isn't such a person?
Fine.
Then let's make a bigger wager
If that Princess Consort Zheng whom you've mentioned really appears
then I'll let you go straight away.
But if there's not...
did you know that according to the Qi law
it is a serious crime to lie to a royalty?
So I'll punish you to stay with me always
and never be apart.
I won't bet on this with you.
I just want to go back to White Mountain Village.
What if I ask you to stay?
I...
I beg you.
Please stay here for me.
Okay.
I promise you.
But...
as soon as Princess Consort Zheng appears...
then please keep your promise
and let me go immediately.
I promise.
Fourth Prince.
Crown Prince and Zu Ting will get you back for what happened today.
- Grandma said... - I'm not afraid of them.
No matter what happens in future
I'm only focusing on now.
I have no regrets.
Don't worry.
