Lan Ling Wang
[Prince of Lan Ling]
[Episode 25]
Is the entire army outside?
To be honest, these ten some men are all that I have at the moment.
Xiao Wu, give them some money and see them out.
Yes. This way, please.
Madam, this is Qi State's warrior Prince of Lan Ling!
You are the Prince of Lan Ling?
Yes, I am Gao Chang Gong.
- Xiao Wu, go and get Da Wen. - Yes!
You've been in the army so take a look at this man.
Fourth Prince, the Prince of Lan Ling!
He really is Prince of Lan Ling?
He is! I've seen Fourth Prince on the battlefield.
He is the Prince of Lan Ling!
If he really is the Prince of Lan Ling
even with a few man the bandits are nothing to him
in comparison to hundred thousands of soldiers he defeated in Mount Mang!
Madam, we have hope now!
Master and young mistress will be saved!
I thought that this is a scam.
I thought that the officials sent someone here to gloss things over.
I have offended Your Highness.
Please accept my apology!
Madam, please get up!
This lady by your side must be the legendary Divine Sorceress?
Greetings to Princess Consort!
This is great!
Besides the Prince of Lan Ling
we have Divine Sorceress to help us as well.
- I... - However tough those bandits are...
Divine Sorceress can uplift the morale of our people so don't reveal yourself.
Your Highness, we are running out of time.
I can't take you to a big temple.
But there's a small temple of Goddess Nu Wa that answers our prayers.
I'll take you there to pray for safety and success of this mission.
This is very thoughtful. Please do lead the way.
Yes.
There weren't any hostels along the way so the townsmen said that
we can sleep at a temple. I guess that this must be it.
I, Gao Si Lang takes Yang Xue Wu as my wife.
I promise to protect her and stay by her side all my life.
Yang Xue Wu will be my one and only love.
Are you all right?
It's good that I brought you a padded coat.
It won't be good if your cold gets any worse.
Your Highnesses, this way please.
- It really does answer prayers... - Fourth Prince is here! Hide!
Hurry up and get some joy sticks for the Princess and Divine Sorceress.
Why have they mistaken her as Divine Sorceress?
Why didn't Fourth Prince tell them the truth?
Respectable Goddess Nu Wa
I, Gao Chang Gong was commanded by the King to capture bandits.
I lead my men here today
in hope of having your blessings for a victorious mission
and restoring peace to the people.
Restore peace to the people.
Your Highness, it's been said that the peach tree next to the temple
can bless harmony to couples.
I had my men break off a branch as a gift to you.
This is to bless the matrimony between you and Divine Goddess
wishing you great harmony and a lifetime together.
Actually...
Thank you for your well wishes.
This is a token of appreciation from the people.
Let's just accept it.
If so, I thank you for it.
Madam!
The bandits have sent a message!
Hurry! Let's head back to their residence!
Xiao Dong!
You can tolerate that but I can't!
I'm going to tell them who the real Divine Sorceress is!
Didn't you promise me that our priority is the mission
and Zheng Er's issue comes second?
But didn't you see that Fourth Prince didn't tell them the truth?
Aren't you worried that he might fall for another?
I believe that he has his reasons for doing so.
Perhaps the presence of Divine Sorceress
can boost the confidence of the people.
I'd really like to use these fireworks to blow that shameless hussy up!
Look at that shameless face.
We're going to use these fireworks to capture the bandits.
What nonsense are you saying?
Madam, the bandits kept me alive to send me back here
in order to deliver this to you.
It's the Master's ear.
The Chief said that if we don't hand over young mistress tomorrow
he will chop off Master's leg.
Master...
Mother... this...
Madam, please don't be worried.
You don't have to hand over the young mistress.
I already have a plan.
The bandits are cunning.
Did they say how they want us to hand over the young mistress?
Yes, they did.
No one is to leave the residence.
Leave everything to me.
If we don't hand over my daughter
how could we get our Master back safe and sound?
You don't have to worry.
I will take the place of your daughter.
Divine Sorceress is a sacred role.
Should anything happen to you
how could I possibly bear the burden of its consequences?
Madam, please get up.
My safety will be in the hands of my husband.
I prayed as a vegetarian for three years to be blessed with this amulet.
Please take this with you.
This will keep you away from harm.
We have to get up early to capture the bandits tomorrow.
I will take my leave and rest early.
What is wrong with Fourth Prince?
Is he really hoodwinked by that vixen?
I don't think that we should stay in hiding.
Even if we might get a scolding let's get things cleared up!
It will be too late for regrets when he falls for another!
Xiao Dong!
Don't stop me!
Fourth Prince is going to exterminate the bandits tomorrow.
How could I trouble him with this matter?
But we don't even have any news of the bandits at all!
How can we help him?
You've even brought your secret weapon with you.
But we know nothing of his plan!
We can't even play a part in it!
Since Your Highness is sincere about helping Fourth Prince out
I thank Divine Sorceress on behalf of the people.
How did you know that we're here?
I was here with His Highness to pray for safety.
I saw you hiding here and realized that you followed us here in secret
because you're worried about Fourth Prince.
I didn't tell anyone about this.
Yes, you're always so thoughtful.
You and your words.
You know that Her Highness is here and yet you claim to be the Divine Sorceress.
Are you fit to call yourself the Divine Sorceress?
I did believe that I was able to help His Highness
capture the bandits with the identity of the Divine Sorceress.
But after I learn of his plan to exterminate the bandits
I knew that I was wrong to think so.
My Lady, have you ever seen ears that were cut off from a living person?
I just saw them for the first time.
Only then did I know how cruel and vicious the bandits are.
Honestly...
I'm here with Fourth Prince as a decoy for the merchant's daughter.
That's the reason why His Highness brought you here with him.
So now you're scared?
Yes, I am scared.
But I'm too ashamed to go back on my words.
So I'd like to ask Your Highness...
Please help His Highness!
My Lady, don't fall her trick.
Don't forget how she set you up.
We haven't even held her accountable for those lies!
I do have feelings for Fourth Prince.
I did have improper desires for him and played a few tricks.
When this mission comes to an end
and I manage to get back here alive
I'll apologize to the both of you and leave the Manor.
My Lady, I am begging you.
Please save Fourth Prince from falling into the hands of the bandits.
Aren't you the Divine Sorceress?
You're sure to have a solution, right?
How can I help?
It's said that the bandits' lair is in a dangerous zone.
I'll be sent off to their lair in the morning.
If they are ambushed along the way there
I'll tip you off with a red scarf.
By then, you can attack them with fireworks.
Please be sure to rescue His Highness.
I'm begging you.
Your Highness, according to the bandits' request
we are to put the young mistress in the big cask
and allow it to flow down along with the current.
Where does this river flow towards?
It flows into the woods and takes various directions.
It will be difficult to figure out where the cask will go.
Fog is thick across the river.
Our line of sight will be hindered making the cask difficult to track.
It will also be difficult to spot where they are hiding
and where to find the cask.
These bandits are indeed cunning.
Are you scared?
I'm not. The mission comes first.
I can take the place of the young mistress in the cask anytime.
You have courage.
After you reach the bandits' lair
leave me a marking that we agreed on.
Once I make my way there
I will strike them right away!
That will catch them off guard.
I believe that no matter how cunning the bandits are
Your Highness will be there in time to rescue me.
You must hang in there till we get there.
I will.
Chief! The lady of our gang is here!
Be gentle with her!
I'll chop your hands off if she gets bruised!
My lovely, you've kept me waiting for so long.
Chief, look how happy you are!
You are like a hog in heat!
Rascal!
My men are all a bunch of brutes.
They are a bit vulgar.
Don't mind them, my lovely.
Where's my father? We agreed to make an exchange.
This isn't my fault.
He didn't want to hand you over to me so he killed himself.
- Father... - Arrest her!
What are you up to?
You don't even recognize your own father?
The one over there is the real merchant Master Wang.
A pampered merchant's daughter
should be crying or trembling with fear upon seeing us.
You shouldn't have been so composed.
Speak up. Who are you?
Speak up or I will kill you right away!
It's good that Master Wang is dead.
Once he's dead then my secret is safe.
I'm actually here to strike a deal with you.
What do you have in mind?
On my way up the mountain
I've made markings along the way.
In no time, armies from the imperial court will be here.
The leader of this troop is not to be overlooked.
He is the Warrior Prince Lan Ling of Qi State!
Your Highness, it's a hoof print!
Let's go towards the east!
Yes!
My Lady, we're finally here.
This must be the direction that the vixen pointed us in.
Here.
It's fine, Xiao Dong.
Let's ambush them from here.
We'll wait for Zheng Er's signal.
Chief, their commander is the Prince of Lan Ling. What should we do?
Shut up! Since she's told us the plan she must be up to something.
What is it that you want?
Why are you so curious?
You should leave while you can.
The further you go, the better.
What can you gain from this?
If you want to stay alive you'd better leave now.
Even if someone manages to halt him it's just for a short while.
Don't blame me when you're killed by the Prince of Lan Ling.
If you get me and my men captured
I'll be back to skin you alive!
Wait a minute!
Stab me.
Do you really want to die?
Shouldn't you get going?
Dumbass! This way!
Fourth Prince, they should be over there.
Let's go!
I just saw Zheng Er's signal!
The bandits should be on their way out!
Hurry up! We have to light the fireworks!
- Yes. - Hurry up, Xiao Dong!
Let's get to the bandits' lair!
The rocks are blocking our way! We're ambushed!
Let's go!
- There's someone over there! Take a look! - Yes!
Stop right there!
My Lady, what are you doing here?
My Lady, please get up.
Why are you here?
Did you blow up those rocks?
I did.
I wanted to block the bandits' way out with the explosives.
You've messed things up!
You blocked our path instead!
Don't come any closer! No!
Don't! Help me!
- Quick! Find the path to save her! - Yes!
Zheng Er!
Search!
Zheng Er!
Fourth Prince!
You're all right now.
You're finally here, Your Highness.
You're here to save me.
I'm sorry.
If I hadn't threatened to kill myself
I'd have been humiliated by the bandits.
It's my fault that I came late.
Your Highness these bandits are really cunning.
They are all gone without a trace!
What about Master Wang?
Your Highness, it is all my fault.
Master Wang is already...
Zheng Er, don't blame yourself.
We were stuck out on the path so we got here late.
That's why the bandits managed to escape in time. You were nearly violated.
Your Highness...
You keep hugging him! Let go of him!
Shameless hussy!
You're hugging His Highness in front of Princess Consort!
Shut up!
Xiao Dong, this isn't the time to say such things!
How could you insult Zheng Er?
I... I was just speaking up for Her Highness!
She pretended to be Divine Sorceress and even hugged Fourth Prince like that!
Do you have any respect for Her Highness?
What about Princess Consort?
Does she have any respect for me?
What are you doing here?
Didn't I tell you to reflect on yourself in the Manor?
I'm... I'm here to help you.
You went against my wishes time after time.
You came here alone and put yourself in danger.
You made me miss my chance to capture the bandits and caused Master Wang his life!
Zheng Er was nearly violated!
What should I do with you?
I acted upon seeing Zheng Er's signal.
I thought the bandits were there
so I ignited the explosives to block their path for you!
I wanted to help you!
My Lady!
My lady, I don't understand what you've just said.
When did I sent you a signal?
Are your brains working?
Didn't we agree last night at the temple of Goddess Nu Wa
that we will block the bandits' way out when you throw out your handkerchief?
I didn't even know that Her Highness was here.
How could I possibly have made an agreement with you at the temple?
You're really shameless.
You pretended to be pitiful and begged her Highness to help.
But you won't admit it now?
Your Highness, I really didn't meet up with Princess Consort.
How could I possibly risk being violated by bandits
to set Her Highness up and delay the rescue?
- I... - My Lady, why are you here?
I know that you don't like me.
You suspect that there's something between Fourth Prince and me.
But you can't make such accusations.
Witch! How dare you venomously slander Her Highness?
Stop acting!
I'm really here to help Fourth Prince exterminate the bandits!
It should be me standing next to him helping him out! Not you!
Not a slanderous evil woman like you!
Have you said enough?
If you must accuse me
there's nothing I can say.
Just now, my body was exposed to everyone.
Even if the bandits didn't violate me
- I don't want to live anymore! - Zheng Er!
You mustn't.
I know that you feel wronged.
Don't worry.
I will have your name cleared.
Your Highness, you can't trust her!
She is an evil bitch!
You don't believe in me, do you?
Fine! I'll get you the evidence!
Your Highness, this is a drug.
I saw her doping your wine with my own eyes!
- When was that? - Two days ago!
When Her Highness and I caught up with you.
I saw her going to your tent with evil intentions.
So the both of you do suspect me of having an affair
with Zheng Er, that's why you followed me here!
Listen up!
I gave this drug to Zheng Er.
I instructed her to poison the bandits when necessary!
So that it is easier for us to exterminate the bandits!
Xue Wu, if I am such an untrustworthy person to you
what's the point of being married to me?
What is the point of us being husband and wife?
Your Highness, you shouldn't have accused Her Highness.
Despite being unwell she came all the way here for you.
She was worried about your safety.
The only mistake she made on this trip is to believe in this bitch!
I won't allow you to call her that!
If you choose not to trust me
there's no point in explaining.
How do you expect me to trust in you?
Have you never lied to me?
The bandits managed to escape because of your jealousy.
I have failed everyone, Master Wang and also Zheng Er!
Your Highness, don't reprimand the Princess Consort anymore.
Who would still believe in the innocence
of a woman who came out from a bandits' lair?
If no one will, I will!
Zheng Er, I was the reason for this incident.
Even if no one would take you in
I will!
Do you really mean what you just said?
I have no other choice.
You'd rather believe in her than me!
On our wedding night
you made a promise to me.
Since you can't stay true to your words you shouldn't have promised so lightly.
My Lady!
Your Highness, you shouldn't have broken her heart.
Do you know how she pulled through these days here?
She was awake every night from the coughing.
She was so worried about your safety!
Since she is still ill shouldn't you take her home now?
She is not to leave the Manor again! Do you hear me?
I, Gao Si Lang, take Yang Xue Wu as my wife
to protect and cherish her for life.
I will always stay by her side.
Yang Xue Wu will be my one and only love.
Everyone knows that I've made a feast and waited all day for you!
And yet you accepted the jade pendant
that anyone would easily see as a token of affection!
Am I not embarrassed?
So what?
I am a prince so if I want concubines there's nothing you can do!
You were leaving without a word because of Zheng Er, right?
You're right!
I didn't tell you in advance because I wanted to take Zheng Er with us.
I didn't tell you because I had designs on Zheng Er!
That's exactly how it is just like you thought!
Who would still believe in the innocence
of a woman who came out from a bandits' lair?
If no one will, I will!
Even if no one would take you in
I will!
My Lady!
Where are you going?
Xiao Dong, there's nothing for me here.
I gave up everything for him.
I did that to stay by his side.
But he no longer has me in his heart.
I've lost my home and grandma.
And now, I can't go back to the Manor.
Because I've lost that tender spot in his heart.
Don't be upset.
Chief, did you hear their argument?
She is the Princess Consort of Lan Ling the legendary Divine Sorceress.
As long as we manage to get her
she will sell for a tremendous price!
Don't make a move yet. Just follow them.
The Prince is too close to us.
We'll make a move when he leaves.
Your Highness I've already followed your orders
to request that the military physician look after Miss Zheng Er.
Thank you for the trouble.
I'm greatly perturbed at the moment.
We have to seek out the bandits.
Otherwise, I would have failed Zheng Er.
Is something on your mind?
Your Highness, perhaps I am being a bit paranoid.
I think that the incident today is highly suspicious.
What do you mean by that?
Personally, Your Highness should understand.
With her intelligence, Princess Consort would risk her life for your safety.
She is not one to be impetuous.
If no one revealed the hiding place of the bandits
how could she possibly get there before we did?
You mean to say that...
someone informed her of our plan?
Go on.
By reason, according to the physician
the cuts on Miss Zheng Er are very shallow.
But from what we know, the bandits are very vicious and cut through flesh.
Zheng Er's cuts aren't made by men.
Are you saying that the bandits didn't injure Zheng Er?
Could she have lied to me?
I can't be a judge of the truth.
But I beseech Your Highness to think this over carefully.
Please don't wrong the Princess Consort.
My Lady, it seems that we have to stay here for the night.
Wait here while I get water to make you some soup.
Respectable Goddess Nu Wa.
I've made an oath before you in your temple in Zhou State.
I promised to protect and take care of Xue Wu till the day I die.
But now, I've broken her heart.
Please point me in a direction.
What should I do
to be with the Xue Wu who loved and trusted in me?
Please answer my prayers.
This is an amulet.
Didn't we agree last night at the temple of Goddess Nu Wa
that we will block the bandits' way out when you throw out your handkerchief?
I didn't even know that Her Highness was here.
How could I possibly have made an agreement with you at the temple?
Stop acting!
My Lady?
My Lady!
What are you doing?
Chief, are we taking him with us as well?
No, he's not worth a cent.
Let's leave him here for the beasts.
Let's go!
Meet up in the western suburbs at three in the afternoon today.
If you fail to show up we will reveal how we escaped.
We'll drag you down to hell with us.
My Lady!
This is bad.
They are really vicious.
I have to go to Fourth Prince.
Did you come here alone?
Do you know who I am?
Why have you asked me out here?
Don't forget that if I could let you go free
I could also let Prince of Lan Ling take your life!
Then why did you still show up?
I just want to stay out of trouble.
After all that's happened I can still help you get away.
Head down south.
I'll be able to stall the prince and have him head north.
Let's make a deal first.
Don't ever come to me again.
Never would I have guessed that you were the one who let those bandits go free.
Your Highness... why are you here?
I'm investigating how the bandits got away yesterday.
So I took the suggestion of my men
and disguised as the bandit to ask you out here.
Little did I know that you'd really show up.
Your Highness, you've misunderstood me.
I'm here to trick the bandits into believing in me.
- I'm trying to help you arrest them... - Liar!
I heard you say that you helped those bandits get away with my own ears!
If you insist that I'm lying
you must have evidence to prove it!
Fine.
Do you still recognize this?
Of course I do.
This is the amulet that Madam Wang gave to me.
Did you find this at the bandits' lair?
I must have dropped it there when I was almost violated by the bandits...
You've got it wrong!
I found this at the temple of Goddess Nu Wa.
This proves that Xue Wu was telling the truth.
You did return to the temple to inform her of our plan.
You dropped this there when you went back to meet Xue Wu!
That's not true!
I did return to the temple
but I never met Princess Consort!
I thought that the bandits were too vicious
so I went back to the temple to pray for blessings!
A person who believes in the blessings of gods
would have held on to the amulet in times of peril.
But you don't even know where you dropped it!
It's obvious that you don't believe in it!
Fine! I admit that I did meet Princess Consort.
So what?
It was her who got in the way of your plan, not me!
Why would you attempt something so foolish?
You want to set Princess Consort up.
But aren't you worried that you might die in the hands of bandits?
Nothing is foolish as long as it is done for your sake.
I've never asked that of you.
What about me?
If I hadn't done so, how could I possibly get rid of Yang Xue Wu?
As long as she is around
you will never notice how good I am to you!
What?
