Lan Ling Wang
[Prince of Lan Ling]
[Episode 13]
Greetings, Your Highness.
Get up.
Thank you, Your Highness.
While you've been away, I've missed you very much.
Women in love look their best.
You certainly look a lot prettier now.
What's wrong?
Has Prince of Lan Ling been mistreating you?
No, not at all.
I just couldn't get the prince to fall in love with me.
I think I'm going to disappoint you, Your Highness.
Zheng Er.
Do you want to defeat Yang Xue Wu
and make yourself Prince of Lan Ling's only love?
You'll be wearing this headpiece for the princess selection.
This fragrant pouch is made with Xian Bei tribe's Separation Curse.
Tomorrow, try to find a chance to put it under Yang Xue Wu's bed.
It will then break up the fate between Gao Chang Gong and Yang Xue Wu.
After that, Gao Chang Gong will fall in love with you.
But there are many people in Lan Ling Manor
and Gao Chang Gong spends most of his time with Divine Sorceress.
But don't worry, I'll find a chance to distract them
so that you'll have time to do it.
Nobody is more suitable to become the princess than you are.
All I want is for you to be safe and happy.
Take it.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Thank you, Official Zu.
You may go now.
I shall leave now.
Your Highness.
In order to get rid of Gao Chang Gong and guarantee Crown Prince's status
it's inevitable for us to do this.
So we must sacrifice Zheng Er.
I hope you won't change your mind.
Since you've asked me to come out so early in the morning
is there something you'd like to say to me, Miss Xue Wu?
Do you like Fourth Prince, Miss Zheng?
Then that's good.
I'd like to ask you a favor.
Take good care of Fourth Prince.
Where are you going, Miss Xue Wu?
Why are you saying this to me?
I just feel that
I really like you
and so does Fourth Prince.
So I think you'll definitely be chosen to become the princess.
Is that what you really think?
After you become Princess Consort Zheng
please be mindful of one thing.
That is...
Fourth Prince always puts the safety of others before his own.
He shouldn't do that.
That's why you must keep reminding him.
Ever since he entered the palace at six years old
he'd always been alone.
So he's actually a very lonely person.
So in the future
I hope you can spend more time with him.
After you get married
do your best to take him away from the troubles of the palace.
If possible
live a quiet life with him in the forrest.
That would be best.
Because...
that's always been his dream.
Also...
most importantly...
please take good care of Fourth Prince for me.
But I know you will
because I believe
that you're more suitable for him than I am.
What are you two chatting about?
Nothing.
Why are you so early today?
I've come to deliver Empress Dowager's second question.
A lot of people have fought along with Fourth Prince for many years.
Many have died on the battlefields.
The people in Veteran's Village
include survivors and widows of those who have died.
They're the people whom Fourth Prince cares about the most.
What's wrong, my child?
Don't cry.
Where does it hurt?
- What's wrong? - It hurts!
Don't cry.
- Don't cry. - It's okay, don't cry.
- What's wrong? - Are you okay?
Empress Dowager has already tasted your dishes.
Apart from giving her compliments for Miss Xue Wu and Miss Zheng's dishes
she didn't like any of them.
Fifth Prince, why did you take us here?
The second test
is to let you get closer to your future husband.
Can't we do that at Lan Ling Manor?
- Why must we come to Veteran's Village? - Exactly!
Godfather... Godfather!
You've come to see us again! We've missed you so much.
Godfather, who's this young lady?
She's Miss Xue Wu.
She's my wife.
- So she's our godmother! - Godmother... Godmother...
See?
Look how much these children like you.
If they know you're going to leave after the princess selection
they'd be very upset.
There are also those villagers who love you so much.
They'd be very upset as well.
Godfather, Godmother.
Let's go and see the baby calf that was born yesterday.
- Let's go, Godfather. - Come on, Godmother.
Come, let's go together.
Watch out!
Get up.
Are you okay?
I saw some stones and I was worried he'd trip over them.
- So I... - You're all scratched.
Where's the cream that I gave you?
I didn't want to carry it around.
Since it was a gift from you, so I treasure it very much.
Fourth Prince, can you take me back to the manor first?
I'd like to put some cream on it.
Go on.
All right, Fifth Brother, you take care of everyone here.
Take care while playing with the children.
Don't fall down, okay?
Let's go.
Are you hurt, my child?
Does anyone want to play games?
How about hide and seek?
- Okay. - Yeah!
I never said the game's started!
- Come catch me, Godmother! - Don't run!
Oh no!
The people who were plotting against Xue Wu are already reaching out to get her.
Xue Wu must leave with me as soon as possible.
Otherwise a bad omen will be cast upon her and Prince of Lan Ling.
Xiao Dong.
Go and fetch Xue Wu right away.
I must leave with her tonight.
Okay... okay.
Where are you hiding?
Where are you?
Godmother, are you thirsty?
A little.
- Let me pour you some water. - Okay.
Let's go and find others after you've finished drinking.
Godmother... Godmother!
Let's go!
Fourth Prince, I've already treated Miss Zheng's wounds.
- Okay, you may go now. - Yes.
Does it still hurt?
That's good.
Take a rest here.
I'm going back to Veteran's Village.
Fifth Prince is looking after Veteran's Village.
You won't have to worry, Fourth Prince.
Fourth Prince.
Can you stay here for me?
Do you really dislike me that much?
Miss Zheng, do you know how it feels to like someone?
If you do
then you should know how I feel right now.
Although it's only been a few hours
but to me
it already feels like as if I haven't seen her for years.
You mean Miss Xue Wu?
Do you feel that I'm not as good as Miss Xue Wu?
No, not at all.
In fact, she's not as good as you.
She's not as beautiful, understanding, and educated as you.
But...
I just can't seem to get rid of her image from my mind.
I dream about her at night
and would want to see her once I wake up.
I love hearing her call me 'Fourth Prince.'
I love it when she gets unreasonable.
She always ends up getting her way.
Why would I fall in love with...
with such an uncontrollable Yang Xue Wu
and torture myself?
I don't know why.
All I know is I'm head over heels for her.
She's the only one in my heart.
I'm very sorry.
I really can't accept you.
What about the princess selection?
I know that I can't disobey the king's order.
On the day of the selection, I'm going to tell His Majesty
that I only love Yang Xue Wu.
I also wouldn't want Xue Wu to share her husband with someone else.
Aren't you worried that you'll get punished by His Majesty?
What's so difficult about obeying the king's order?
I can just select a princess.
But you won't get the happiness that you deserve.
Xue Wu won't be happy either.
Think about it.
I have to go.
Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother!
Sis-in-law's gone missing!
A child said someone gave him money
and said he really admires Divine Sorceress
and asked him to give her some water to drink.
She passed out after she drank the water
and was taken away by that person who also drugged the child.
The ground's still wet from last night's rain.
So I've already asked our men to follow the footsteps and search for her.
Get my horse!
The villagers said they saw Sis-in-law got put into a carriage
which headed for Dong Yang Forest.
This...
should be the moment of distraction that Imperial Astrologist has prepared for me.
Fourth Brother, there's a carriage ahead!
Fourth Brother!
Who sent you?
What do you want?
Haven't you heard the news?
There's long been a high reward of 1,000 gold for capturing the divine sorceress.
Don't think about saving her.
If I don't kill her today, she'll still be killed by others tomorrow.
Why don't you just let me have her?
In your dreams!
Fourth Brother, spare his life!
Wang!
- Fourth Prince... - Wang!
- Get the doctor! - Yes.
- Young Mistress is hurt! - Is it very serious?
Slowly.
- Fourth Prince. - Slowly.
Fourth Prince, you're hurt as well.
I'm fine.
I'll go and get changed first.
- Doctor. - Fourth Prince.
Don't worry, Young Mistress is okay.
She should wake up once the effect of the drug eases.
- That's good. - I shall go now.
Fourth Prince.
As for what happened today
just pretend that nothing has happened
including my injury.
Fourth Brother doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.
He doesn't want others to worry
and doesn't want Young Mistress to know about it.
I understand what you mean.
We'll just pretend that nothing's happened.
I'd like to stay with her alone for a while.
You may go now.
- Yes, Fourth Prince. - Yes.
Xue Wu.
Are you awake?
Fourth Prince?
How did I get back here?
Do you feel better now?
I remember I drank some water
and then... and then I just...
Water?
It was wine that you drank.
You passed out after just one sip.
Why did you drink with others when you can't drink at all?
Did you know how strong the wine was?
Even a horse would pass out
let alone you.
So that was it?
I just got drunk
and nothing else happened?
- Nothing happened... - You're lying!
You'll never trick me.
Because you don't want me to worry that's why you're lying to me, right?
Every time when I drink
if I get drunk, it's fine if I fall asleep.
But if I don't, then I'd always do stupid things.
How is it possible that nothing had happened?
Tell me, what did I do?
Say it, I can take it.
It's not that bad.
You only smacked me in the face.
That's it?
That's not so bad.
You're very strong anyway.
What's wrong?
I got some minor internal injuries from training.
I'll be fine.
I'm sorry.
Why don't you lie down for a while?
I need to have a talk with Fifth Brother.
Okay.
- Xiao Dong? - Miss Xue Wu, are you okay?
- I'm okay. - Quickly pack your things.
Pack what things?
I don't have time to explain.
Your grandma's asked you to pack your things and go back with her.
You mean... I must leave Fourth Prince tonight?
That's right.
I've arranged to meet your grandma in the city's western corner.
If you want to go back with your grandma then tonight will be your only chance.
Why are you hesitating?
I'll go and have the carriage ready.
Quickly pack up.
Fourth Brother, is your wound hurting?
No, it's not.
I was too careless to have let this happen.
Since we were plotted against, it wasn't easy for us to guard against them.
It's clear who was behind it.
- An official's gold bar? - A top-level official's gold bar.
We found it on the kidnapper.
The person who paid him was a top-level official in the palace.
Your guess was exactly right.
It must have been Zu Ting's idea.
They already hate you
but now both the king and the people favor Divine Sorceress as well.
This has further lifted your reputation.
To Crown Prince, Sis-in-law is a big threat
so they must get rid of her.
What's more, they knew we'd be less alert because of the princess selection
so it was a perfect chance for them.
The official's gold bar can't be considered as solid evidence
so we can't do anything just yet.
I'm just worried about Xue Wu.
I didn't mean to kill that person today.
I think I can no longer keep my cool when it comes to Xue Wu's safety.
I'm beginning to feel afraid.
I'm afraid something will happen to Xue Wu.
The situation's very serious now.
Crown Prince is also considering her as his enemy.
Xue Wu's in great danger right now.
Maybe
it's only right to let her go.
Your Highness, we've just received Zheng Er's reply.
She said our plan went very well.
Although the kidnapper didn't kill the divine sorceress
but Zheng Er's already put the fragrant pouch under her bed.
So we can now progress with our plan.
I'm going to turn the princess selection into a mournful occasion.
Miss Xue Wu, are you ready?
- Can we go now? - Let's go.
Do you want to tell Fourth Prince first?
No.
Just one look at him would make me want to stay.
Okay, let's go then.
I've got the carriage ready.
It's just outside.
Miss Xue Wu, we don't have time.
Farewell.
Fourth Prince?
Go and wait outside.
Okay.
Hurry up, Grandma's waiting.
I never thought...
that you would leave without saying goodbye.
I remember that day
when I said I never thought I'd possessed anything.
You were the one who cheered me on and gave me strength.
You said you'd stay with me forever.
But now...
you're kicking me back to square one.
Don't say that.
I didn't want to say goodbye to you
because I was afraid I'd want to stay.
But I must go back.
I don't belong here.
You might as well do that.
According to the king's order
tomorrow will be the deadline for me to select my princess.
Our bet no longer means anything.
You were right.
I'm destined to belong to somebody else.
Since I can't disobey the king's order
I should just accept reality.
Since Zheng Er was sent by the queen
I guess I should just pick her.
As for the marriage between us two...
you can just consider it as a show.
From now on...
you're no longer my concubine.
You no longer have anything to do with me.
Just go.
Take care.
Fourth Prince.
You do truly love me, right?
If that's the case...
then I'll have no regrets.
Fourth Brother.
Why are you doing this to yourself?
It's far too dangerous for her to be with me.
You look very well today, Your Majesty.
Since it's Chang Gong's princess selection today so I'm feeling quite well.
Your Majesty, Imperial Astrologist Zu is here.
- Let him in. - Imperial Astrologist Zu may come in!
Greetings to Your Majesty and Your Highness.
What's the panic?
Your Majesty, Prince of Lan Ling is trying to overturn you.
What?
From my star observation last night
I saw an abnormal star above Lan Ling Manor.
At first I didn't want to make any guesses
but I caught an evil monk in the city today.
He said he once performed a ritual at Lan Ling Manor to help him overturn you.
- Where's the monk? - He's been beaten to death.
But I've found an evil object on him. A voodoo doll.
How dare him! Show me!
Here you go, Your Majesty.
He also said
there are still other evil objects at Lan Ling Manor right now.
Go and search the place!
Yes, Your Majesty.
- Search every corner! - Yes!
- Stay where you are! - Search?
What's happening?
What are you doing?
Today is our princess selection.
Princess selection?
- Not anymore. Search! - Yes!
- What's going on? - Why are the soldiers here?
- How can they come in like this? - What happened?
Over here!
- Search over here! - Yes!
- This is my sis-in-law's bedroom! - So what?
Are you trying to disobey the king's order?
Official Zu, we've found this.
What's this?
I guess you should know better than I do.
You led your men into my house
then you didn't go look anywhere else and headed straight for this room.
Then the next minute you've already found this thing.
If it's not because you have psychic powers
then you must have known about this already.
His Majesty has arrived!
Gao Chang Gong!
How dare you!
How dare you curse me with a horrific death!
So are you going to keep lying to the king?
This fragrant pouch is one of Xian Bei tribe's evil objects.
It's got Xian Bei words written on it.
The words were written to curse our king!
What's more, once a ritual is performed on it
it can work together with the voodoo doll.
Impossible! Stop accusing us!
Voodoo dolls are forbidden objects.
Fourth Brother would never do something like that!
But someone said
he was asked by Lan Ling Manor to make this!
Your Majesty.
I don't know any Xian Bei words
and I haven't heard of using fragrant pouches as curses.
I must have been framed.
You may not know
but what about that divine sorceress?
Prince of Lan Ling, the fragrant pouch was found in Yang Xue Wu's bedroom!
So she's part of this and she won't get away!
Where is she?
Your Majesty.
She's already left.
Your Majesty.
It's obvious that she's ran away because she knew what she'd done.
The so-called divine sorceress was just a witch that Prince of Lan Ling had kept in his house
to perform evil rituals to curse you
and take away your throne.
Your Majesty, this might even be the reason for your chronic headache.
Your Majesty, Xue Wu is not a witch.
- This thing is not mine. - Not yours?
This is Lan Ling Manor!
Can anyone from the streets just walk in and put this here?
Your Majesty...
If Yang Xue Wu's not a witch, then why did she run away?
How dare you try to overturn me.
I was so happy to organize your marriage for you!
Whenever people said your achievement was surpassing mine
I never minded what they said!
I still believed that you're very loyal to me.
But why are you doing this to me?
Gao Chang Gong.
You've done something very wrong.
You should be punished and killed!
- Official Zu! - Yes!
Put Gao Chang Gong into jail!
He can't be forgiven for overturning the throne and shall be executed!
- Your Majesty! - If you don't shut up, then I'll kill you as well!
- How can this happen? - Luckily I didn't get selected.
Gao Chang Gong's waiting to be executed.
Keep an eye on him.
His Majesty said no one is to get near the manor.
- You hear me? - Yes!
Official Zu!
Official Zu, why did you lie to me?
You told me it was a charm to make Fourth Prince fall in love with me.
But you've actually used me to frame Prince of Lan Ling.
You're right.
We did use your innocence.
But you're one of us.
Are you trying to rebel now?
This could cost his life!
No.
I must go and tell the king the truth.
It's all my fault.
It's my fault that he's been framed.
It was the queen's idea to hide the truth from you.
We didn't want to tell you beforehand
because we knew you'd find it hard to do it since you like Prince of Lan Ling.
If you tell the king the truth
then you'll also get the queen into trouble.
You'll surely be killed for betraying the queen.
I think you're smarter than that, right?
You're wrong.
I'm a stupid person.
I don't care whom I'll get into trouble
and I can't help it if I'll be killed.
Fourth Prince is innocent.
It's my fault that he's been framed.
I'll definitely save him.
Stop right there!
Actually, there might be a way to save Gao Chang Gong.
This needle should be able to save him.
What do you mean?
You're right.
You're a stupid person.
How could you have believed that?
Now even the only witness is in my hands.
Gao Chang Gong.
I'll definitely get rid of you.
