Lan Ling Wang
[Prince of Lan Ling]
[Episode 35]
Fourth Prince!
Your Majesty!
How could you marry Divine Sorceress?
You can't marry her!
Your Majesty, the Divine Sorceress is the wife of Prince of Lan Ling!
That's right! She's the wife of Prince of Lan Ling!
Your Majesty! Please take back your orders!
Your Majesty, you can't be so immoral!
Your Majesty! You can't do this!
Your Majesty! Please take back your orders!
Your Majesty! You can't do this!
If His Majesty isn't trying to save the people from the devastation of the drought
why would he marry Divine Sorceress?
What has the natural disaster got to do with Divine Sorceress?
What has it got to do with her?
Don't be fooled, Your Majesty!
Who are you to be saying such nonsense?
As the Queen of Northern Qi State I have the duty to tell you the truth.
Yang Xue Wu is not the Divine Sorceress!
She is the reincarnation of a witch!
A witch?
Princess Consort is the kindest person ever!
How could she be a witch?
No drought has ever occurred in Ye City for the past decades.
Ever since this witch came to Ye City and married Prince of Lan Ling
drought came upon us and that proves everything!
Didn't Buddha also said that
the matrimony of Divine Sorceress and the Chosen King
will bring favors from gods to rid people of the drought?
This is the only solution to save the people.
Princess Consort isn't a witch!
You are!
You are a witch!
Insolence!
You are a witch!
Such insolence! Are you rebelling?
Guards!
Fourth Prince, forgive me for leaving you behind.
But I will take this fatuous king and his evil queen to my grave!
If I leave them here alive
they will only continue to harm innocent people.
Fourth Prince, you must take care of yourself even if I am gone. Farewell!
Stop it!
Prince of Lan Ling is here!
Prince of Lan Ling!
This is great!
Your Majesty and my countrymen!
This is a man-made natural disaster!
Man-made disaster?
It's not a natural disaster but a man-made one?
The water resource official released all the water in the reservoir.
That was the cause of the drought!
My wife, Yang Xue Wu isn't a witch!
Whoever intended to cause this disaster is the real witch!
Your Majesty, I beseech you to investigate and find the culprit.
I will look into this matter.
Your Majesty, I have more to say to you.
I also have words to say to you.
Disperse the crowd and escort the Queen back to the palace.
Summon the imperial physician to attend to her wound as soon as possible.
Fourth Brother!
I'll meet you back in the palace!
Prince of Lan Ling is back!
Prince of Lan Ling!
It's raining!
The fatuous king and his evil queen rules this state.
Even the gods can't stand them!
The drought is over now that Fourth Prince is back!
Prince of Lan Ling and Divine Sorceress are the hope of our people!
It starts raining the minute that evil queen left!
Fourth Prince is the real King!
Fourth Prince is the hope of all our people!
If you really ignited that bomb
I will live this life like a dead man.
Fourth Prince...
Your Highness, His Majesty is still waiting for you.
He can keep on waiting!
Your Highness, you'd better talk to His Majesty first.
All right. I will be right back.
I will not compromise this time.
Your Majesty! For the sake of the people I beseech you to
put your efforts into state affairs.
I can choose not to look into the matter of the drought.
Your Majesty!
I want to be a good king as well.
But there always seem to be prickles down my back
and it keeps me from doing what I wanted to do.
What sort of a prickle?
I am willing to share that burden with you!
Do you really want to know about it?
Please elaborate.
I want you to give up your life willingly.
You don't understand?
The people loves you! The army and the people all favor you!
As long as you're alive I can't live in peace!
If you choose to die
I will be a good king.
I won't go against my people!
Here is my question.
Are you willing to forfeit your life
in exchange for the safety of others?
Your Majesty.
What was the prince's reaction?
Your Majesty?
Prince of Lan Ling actually agreed.
I was taken aback as well.
He's agreed to forfeit his life.
I did everything that you told me to.
The more immoral I am, the more I insist on building Celestial Garden
deducting the soldiers' wages
and even forced Yang Xue Wu into marrying me
the more unswerving he is in giving up his life in exchange for my repent.
He just wants me to be a good king.
Am I right in doing so?
My Queen, what is your opinion?
Let him die.
The more Prince of Lan Ling behaves in this manner
the more dangerous it is to have him alive.
Prince of Lan Ling who is loved by all
is your biggest threat.
Should the day come when he calls out to the people
he will be respected by all.
Your Majesty, in history there are many with great achievements.
Those men are usually the biggest threat to the kings.
But I also believe that
if Your Majesty kills Prince of Lan Ling
you can surpass him and become the greatest king of the era!
I have every faith in Your Majesty's ability.
If you choose not to kill him
no one will ever know how wise and talented you are!
I can now see the conflicts of interests in this matter.
But deep down in my heart
my fourth brother and I are family for years.
But for the sake of my Qi State...
Your Majesty is wise and decisive.
You are sure to rule the world.
You're finally home!
I was worried sick!
Did the king do anything to you?
What are you afraid of?
Are you afraid that he would beat me up and torture me?
Or that he will lock me up?
I am very worried about you!
I was worried that you might never return!
His Majesty and I had a long talk.
He knows that he has done wrong.
None of the worst case scenarios is likely to happen.
I don't believe in that.
The King's behavior since he got on the throne
has not only caused great harm to the people
but also sent Imperial Tutor Duan away so that he can take your military power.
How could he possibly have listened to you?
Your Highness, don't lie to me.
I didn't lie to you.
The former king died too suddenly.
His Majesty doesn't know how to govern a state.
He hopes to improve the lives of our people.
But he didn't know what to do.
A drowning man would catch at a straw.
That's why he believed in the absurd rumor of marrying Divine Sorceress
to relieve the drought.
Xue Wu...
I know that the King has really gone overboard this time.
I almost lost you because of that.
The thought of killing him sprang to my mind.
But I think that...
He really knows that he's done wrong.
He humbled himself to admit his mistake to me.
Shouldn't we give him another chance?
Do you really believe that Gao Wei can become a good king?
Xue Wu...
The king is just a man.
All men make mistakes.
I remember when we were little
His Majesty always performed badly in archery.
I was worried that my father would reprimand him
so I went to coach him secretly.
But His Majesty said to me
that he doesn't want to learn how to shoot.
He thinks that archery is either used in hunting or on shooting people.
Today, I could tell from his eyes
the same kindness he had when he was little.
Your Highness...
You are the kindhearted one.
I hope that the King can understand the efforts you made.
It's quite late now.
You must be exhausted for the past few days.
Go to bed now.
Your Highness, Fifth Prince is here.
All right.
I ran into Xiao Dong on my journey.
I came rushing back here when I heard about the wedding.
Where are the Imperial Tutor and General Hulu?
They will be back in a few days' time.
They told me that you went to the palace today.
What more does the king want from you?
You and your sister-in-law worry just as much.
I'm all right.
No matter how much of a bully the king is
he would still think of us as his family.
He won't make things hard for me.
Besides, the king knows that he has done wrong.
It was as I had expected.
I've actually got some feedback from the palace.
I heard that the king regretted his actions.
But I still don't believe in him.
His Majesty feels very sorry for how he treated Xue Wu.
He should feel sorry.
His decision in marrying Divine Sorceress is being ridiculed at.
It's way more ridiculous than my past romances!
Xue Wu's gone back in.
What exactly happened?
You're even keeping my sister-in-law in the dark.
What did His Majesty say to you?
Tell me!
He wants me dead.
What?
Leave this place tonight!
Take Xue Wu with you to somewhere far away from here.
Leave Ye City! Leave Qi State!
Where could we go?
Flee and seek refuge with Yuwen Yung?
You can go anywhere!
Go to a place where the king can't hunt you down!
I know that there must be a place where you and Xue Wu could go.
I'll prepare money and a carriage for you.
Go and pack!
Get back here!
Calm down and listen to me.
This isn't the time to listen to you!
- I want you to leave now! - I won't leave!
And I won't escape with your sister-in-law either!
Do you want Gao Wei to kill you?
His Majesty has promised me.
He and Feng Xiao Lian will cease all tyranny
and treat the people with kindness.
You... You still believe in his words?
If my death can bring peace to our people
I think it's worth the sacrifice.
What if Gao Wei goes back on his words?
He is a changed man.
He is no longer the Gao Wei who was afraid of killing.
He's become violent and immoral.
He's gone insane! Why would you still believe in him?
Perhaps it was I who drove him insane.
If I'm dead
there's no guarantee that he will be a good king.
I know that this is a huge risk.
But for the sake of our people...
I'm willing to give it a try.
Nothing that I say to you now
can make you change your mind.
Will you not change your mind for my sister-in-law?
I'm being very selfish.
I won't be able to keep my promise
to be with her till the day she dies.
My brother...
what weighs on my mind
is your sister-in-law.
I trust in you the most.
Could you help me?
Among all our brothers...
you dote on me the most.
Whenever we have anything nice to eat or to play with
you would always let me go first.
We went through thick and thin together.
But now you want me to...
You want me to let you die in vain.
Why?
I know that I've always got you into trouble but
you can't give me such a hard task to weigh me down!
My dear brother, come here.
Do you remember the first time you went to war with me?
I'll never forget that.
I remember that I was sixteen.
The former king finally sent me to war with you.
I was all worked up for war
but you wouldn't let me go on to the battlefield.
I still remember that
I was angry at you for a few days.
You locked me in my room on the day you left for war.
If I hadn't knocked down the doors...
You broke my doors!
We had to get Li to fix it.
But when you got to the battlefield
you weren't the boy that I used to know.
you became a man of indomitable spirit!
My brother, you have never failed me.
This is the last favor I ask of you.
This is in return of our brotherhood for the past 26 years.
I will leave it to you to take care of things for me after my death.
Fourth Prince...
How much time have we got left?
The King will make a move at nine tomorrow evening.
We have to take actions earlier than he does.
He promised me that as long as I die
he will spare everyone in my manor.
But in case of any incidents
you have to get Xue Wu and everyone out of here.
Gao Chang Gong.
I'm no longer that Gao Wei who was afraid to shoot.
Embrace your death in peace!
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Did you sleep well last night?
I can finally pluck out that thorn in my flesh today
and rule my kingdom with ease.
Why wouldn't I sleep well?
But why is the Queen looking quite pale?
Didn't you sleep well?
Your Majesty is so sharp.
But it wasn't me who didn't sleep well
it is Hong-E.
This servant is not at her best.
She's done a poor job with my make-up.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
I don't blame you!
Because in my eyes
the Queen is always so beautiful.
Your Majesty, Imperial Astrologist Zu seeks audience!
I told him to come over.
- Summon him in! - Yes!
Greetings to the King and Queen.
Get up.
Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Highness.
Your Highness, I've already carried out your instructions.
You've worked hard, Master Zu.
What are you hiding from me?
So as not to let our efforts go down the drain
I've made a few arrangements to ensure that everything goes according to plan.
Prince of Lan Ling will die today.
Although I've made arrangements according to your plan
and sent out King's Guards at his manor
to keep a close eye on him
why don't we just lock him up in case he escapes and our plan will be in vain?
He won't escape.
Because he would never choose to live in shame.
I am very sure of that because dignity and moral are what he is proud of.
My Queen understands him so well.
You're awake.
Why are you looking at me like that?
The moment I opened my eyes I saw a gorgeous, fairy-like lady.
I kept thinking to myself 'Where did this lady come from?'
I took a closer look.
What?
She's my Princess Consort!
You're so mushy!
Could I comb your hair for you?
That's lovely, please do.
Gently...
That hurts.
Gently?
Your hair is tangled.
That's why I asked you to comb gently.
No other girl's hair is so tangled up like yours.
You have no idea how hard it is to take care of such long hair.
That's why I sometimes just give it a quick brush.
You and your excuses.
Why don't you comb my hair every day from tomorrow onwards?
Let me concentrate on combing your hair.
I mean it.
It's said that if husbands comb their wives' hair for them
they will be able to live a long life together and be in love forever.
Xue Wu.
You have to comb your hair properly every day.
If your hair is untangled you have fewer worries as well.
Everything will all be fine.
Whether I am by your side or not
you have to comb your hair.
No, I won't.
I want you to do it for me.
You can't go back on your words.
What's the matter?
Could you go with me to a place after breakfast?
Where are we going?
You'll know once we get there.
What's wrong?
Why are your eyes so red?
I was combing your hair before I was even fully awake.
How could my eyes not be tired?
Yes, you've worked so hard!
- Go on. - Yes.
Fifth Prince, you came at a wrong time.
His Highness just left with Princess Consort.
I don't think that they will be back before this evening.
I'm here to... see you, Xiao Dong, and Wang.
To see me, Xiao Dong and Wang?
I have some things to tell you.
Do you remember that you once took me to this place?
I do.
You told me then that willows mean to stay.
You thanked me for staying with you.
Since then, I fell in love with willows.
Wait here.
Has Xue Wu suspected something?
Your Highness.
Xue Wu, this...
This willow is a witness to our love.
But what we're doing with it might be a bit... mean to it.
I hope it won't be angry at us.
Your Highness, teach me how to wield a sword.
Xue Wu, this...
After what happened yesterday
I've thought it through.
I want to learn to fight to wield a sword!
If I'm at least a bit trained in martial arts
when I am in danger
I can protect myself.
I can protect you as well.
Your Highness, you chose to believe in the King
but I still doubt him.
That's why I have to take precautions.
Xue Wu.
You stayed to protect me.
And then you start leading a life worrying about me every day.
I really regret keeping you here with me.
What are you talking about?
Stick out your hand!
Stop saying such words!
We don't owe each other anything.
What would you do if I said something like that?
I would spank you on your buttocks.
That's right.
All right, I'll teach you how to wield a sword.
Once I get a hang of it, I'll teach our children how to wield a sword.
Bring it on.
You have to learn it well.
Take a look, my Lady.
Let's take a look.
These accessories are really pretty.
Do you like this?
Be honest with me.
Did you buy this little silver comb for me
so that you can break the promise you made to me this morning?
Of course not.
I bought this for you so that you can carry it around at all times.
But my hair is already combed before I leave the manor.
When will I use it?
This isn't for you to comb your hair.
It's to remind you of the man who combs your hair for you.
Didn't you say so yourself?
A stroke of the comb is a lifetime of marital bliss.
Right?
You have to comb my hair for me every day.
I know that you're too lazy to do so.
It's all right.
I can comb my own hair.
This is such a pretty color.
This is ten cents. Would you like one?
Let's go home.
You're so weird today.
All day long, you held on to my hand so tightly.
I'm afraid I'd lose you.
How silly of you!
Xiao Cui, why are you hesitating?
You'd better add that in quickly or Her Highness is home soon!
Your Highness, must we do this to the Princess Consort?
When she learns about it later she will hate us all!
We have to pull this act off together.
No mistakes can be made.
This is the last... order from my brother.
We're home!
- Fourth Prince. Princess Consort. - All right.
What a spread!
Did you plan this?
Don't be mad at my brother.
A romantic dinner like this is, of course
planned by your charming and romantic brother-in-law.
Fifth Prince said that you were almost being separated yesterday.
He told me to prepare lots of good dishes and wine
to celebrate that you are back together again.
You will have lots to celebrate!
Because Fourth Prince and I will be together forever.
Do you know that it took Xiao Cui
a whole afternoon to prepare this?
If you want a feast like this every day
Xiao Cui will be exhausted.
Your Highness, I won't be.
That's right!
I won't be so mean to my dearest Xiao Cui!
Let's all sit down and have dinner.
The more, the merrier!
We won't get in your way.
I have my family waiting for me back at An De Manor.
Is that so?
Yes, my Lady. This is specially prepared for you and Fourth Prince.
- But... - Please enjoy it.
Xiao Dong and I will take our leave.
All right then.
My Lady, I've prepared your favorite dishes.
Be sure to eat a bit more.
Goodbye.
Take the antidote first.
Just in case, Xue Wu gets suspicious.
Let's all start working according to plan.
We have to pull this act off.
Fourth Prince, let's have dinner!
Fourth Prince!
