Lan Ling Wang
[Prince of Lan Ling]
[Episode 36]
[Lan Ling Manor]
Fourth Prince, let's have dinner!
Fourth Prince.
Come on over.
They have been busy all day.
They are all exhausted.
Come here.
It's such a treat. Have a drink with me!
You haven't even eaten anything yet and you're already drinking.
That's really bad for your health.
Have a bite to eat first.
Have some of this as well...
Dig in.
I still think that we should have a toast first.
I've rarely seen you so eager to have a drink.
You're really a bit different today.
It's not every day that I'm in such a great mood
so I want to have more drinks on this happy occasion.
What's more, my fifth brother prepared this for us.
Are you not going to drink to this occasion?
I never said that I'm not drinking.
But you do seem a bit weird today.
Did you tinkle with the wine?
Fine!
Don't...
Do you believe in me now?
What did you do that for? I didn't say that I'm not drinking.
I was just teasing you.
I'll have three cups in a row as an apology.
Here I go.
Fourth Prince...
Did you lie to me, Fourth Prince?
This wine...
I'm sorry.
What did you put in it?
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
I can't grow old with you anymore.
Xue Wu...
You have to forgive me.
I don't want you to die with me.
You might be terribly upset in the beginning
but then you'll forget me as time goes by.
You'll forget about our marriage.
This time...
I really can't take you with me.
It's Divine Sorceress. Stop right there!
Go after her!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Don't move!
What are you doing?
Why are you following me?
Go to the back door! Hurry up!
Xiao Dong, put her down slowly.
Go a bit slower.
Xiao Dong, this is the letter that Fourth Prince wrote to that man.
You must keep it safe!
Leave now! You must be take care
not to be discovered by anyone!
Wang, you must take care of yourself.
- Leave now! - Yes.
Don't drink so much anymore! I'm leaving!
You must keep Her Highness safe!
It's about time.
It's time for you to leave.
Get on the carriage with me.
Let's run away together!
Fourth Brother.
Why don't we beg the King for mercy?
My dear brother, thank you for all that you have done for me.
You've done a good job.
It's even better than I expected.
You've always been the brother that I look up to the most ever since I was little.
I've always wanted to be approved by you.
But never would I have expected it to be at such a time!
How could you do this to me!
I hope that you will remember what I'm about to say to you.
First of all, don't seek revenge.
Don't hate the King.
Lead your life as it is.
Pretend that nothing has ever happened.
Secondly, when this is behind us
try and get some news of Xue Wu's whereabouts.
Make sure that she is safe.
What if she is having a hard time?
- What if she wants to take her life? - He won't let her.
That is the main reason why I sent Xue Wu over to him.
You made all these arrangements with everyone's best interests at heart.
What about you?
You expect us to stand by and watch you succumb to death?
Last of all...
We'll be brothers again in our next lives.
My brother...
Get up now.
It's time for you to leave.
What are you doing?
Who are you to be so insolent to the great Warrior of Qi State the Prince of Lan Ling?
Put down your weapons!
Don't put them in a spot.
Like me, they have no other choice.
You'd better leave now.
Your belt will be the most unique one tomorrow.
You added this on for me, right?
Is it unique?
It's very pretty!
I'm not an outsider.
I'm someone who favors Miss Xue Wu.
There are no rules banning suitors from outside the village, are there?
Your Highness...
Your Highness, Xiao Dong and Princess Consort should be out of Ye City by now.
Fifth Prince has taken Xiao Cui over to his manor as his maid.
She should be at An De Manor by now.
Are all the other servants given enough wages and allowances
to travel back to their hometowns?
Yes, they are.
Your Highness, please don't be worried.
Wang, you should leave now.
Go back home.
Your Highness, this is my home.
I'm not going anywhere.
I want to keep you company till the very end.
Here, have a seat.
Have a drink with me.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Wang.
You still cook with so much salt.
It's not as tasty as Xue Wu's dishes.
Yes...
My cooking hasn't improved a bit after all these years.
I still can't brew the tea to your liking.
Here.
- Search! - Yes!
I apologize for not receiving the King and Queen at the door.
Please forgive me.
I'm here to day because may officials reported to me that
you've exploited the people for your own wealth.
I don't want to suspect you of that
but I have to put up a show for the others.
I understand.
Wang! Serve them some tea.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness is in such a good mood.
Could you finish so much food on your own?
The King and Queen are here at the right time.
I've heard that His Majesty has even bought me great wine to celebrate.
Your Majesty, we found two boxes in the prince's study chamber.
Bring them here!
Open them.
Open them!
Your Majesty.
This is the evidence that proves Gao Chang Gong of exploiting the people!
When the former king was alive he wanted His Majesty to learn from you.
But you are not who you seem to be.
You're just a liar who deceived the king and the people!
You've deceived the former King His Majesty and all the people!
Your Majesty, I have nothing to say.
I can't go against your wishes should you wish me to die.
I just hope that you will stay true to your words
and treat the people of Qi State with benevolence.
Your Majesty, since Gao Chang Gong is so understanding
we don't have to put on this act.
Thank you for your kind efforts!
As long as Your Majesty keeps your word
I will smile even in my death.
I... I promise.
After your death, Qi State... will be in great peace and harmony.
Your Majesty, we've searched high and low in Lan Ling Manor.
Yang Xue Wu is nowhere to be found.
Aren't you deeply in love with each other?
And now you've gone separate ways in times of peril.
He promised you to bring peace to the people of Qi State
and guaranteed to spare your servants.
He didn't say that he won't kill Yang Xue Wu.
Zu Ting!
Your Highness.
You must capture Yang Xue Wu.
- And kill her! - Yes, Your Highness.
That is the last bit of compassion I have for you.
I'll let the both of you die together.
We have been brothers for years.
I will spare you the pain in death.
Guards.
Offer him the wine.
Allow me to do it.
I'd like to kill him with my own hands.
Army of Qi State! Enemies are before us!
- Will you follow my lead? - Yes!
I hate the battlefield.
I go to war to stop them from happening.
My smile is my mask.
This is for you, a bouquet of meteor blossoms.
I, Gao Si Lang, take Yang Xue Wu as my wife.
I'll protect and take care of her till the day I die.
I will never leave her side.
Yang Xue Wu is my one and only love.
Guards.
Your Majesty, Your Highness Gao Chang Gong is dead.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
You've finally plucked the thorn out of your flesh.
You will now have nothing to worry about anymore.
Let's head back to the palace.
- Guards. - At your service.
Carry Gao Chang Gong's body back to the palace to be encoffined.
Yes.
Book of Northern Qi State volume eleven.
April, Imperial year of Wu Ping.
The King ordered Xu Zhi Fan to bring him the poison.
Chang Gong's said to his wife Princess Consort Zheng
'I have always been loyal.
How have I offended the gods to be treated so?'
Princess Consort said, 'Why don't you ask the gods in person?'
Chang Gong said 'How can I meet the gods?'
And then he took the poison and died.
He was named Grand Commandant after his death.
Stop the carriage!
Stop the carriage! Xiao Dong, stop!
We can't head back! His Highness is already...
What's happened to Fourth Prince?
Xiao Dong! Tell me what happened to His Highness!
All of you and Fifth Prince helped His Highness to lie to me!
I was drugged?
Xiao Dong, I beg you to tell me what happened to Fourth Prince!
My Lady, stop asking me about it!
Turn back! Now!
I want to head back to Lan Ling Manor!
I want to stay by his side!
Turn back now!
It's already too late!
What do you mean by that?
Why is it already too late?
Tell me!
I'll jump off the carriage if you won't turn it around.
My Lady...
Stop!
My Lady, if you want to head back to the manor now
all of Fourth Prince's efforts will go down the drain!
The King wants Fourth Prince dead.
That's why I was ordered to take you away.
Xiao Dong, this is what His Highness bought me today.
If this is going to be all I have to remember him by
I'd rather take my life today with him!
I'm begging you!
I won't be able to grow old with him anymore.
I'm just begging you to let me be with him.
All right, let's head back now.
Queen's orders! Capture Yang Xue Wu!
- Yes! - Oh no, soldiers are coming for us!
- Don't let them get away! - We can't head back now.
There's a suspicious-looking horse carriage ahead of us! Go after them!
My Lady, it's a cliff!
We're at a dead end!
My Lady!
Xiao Dong, listen to me.
We can't possibly escape together.
We have to split up or we'll get arrested.
Let's push the horse carriage over the cliff together to mislead the soldiers.
You can then escape with Snowy.
What about you?
I can hide in a random place.
No matter what it takes I have to get back to Ye City.
I have to see Fourth Prince one last time.
My Lady...
There's no time to lose! The soldiers are right behind us!
Follow my orders!
Hurry up!
The horse carriage is right in front of us!
My Lady, I can't let you head back to Ye City on your own.
How about this? I saw a farmer's house on our way here.
I'm a woman traveling alone so if I seek shelter from them
they won't be suspicious.
You can meet me there later.
All right, wait for me at that house.
I'll definitely come back for you.
All right, you'd better leave now.
Be careful!
Sire, the horse carriage has fallen down the cliff.
But there is no one in sight.
- Get some men there to take a look! - Yes!
- The rest of you search here with me! - Yes!
Take a look over there! Don't let her get away!
Go on! Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Search carefully!
Go after her!
Don't come any closer!
Why bother making yourself so exhausted?
I can send you on your way back to the city.
Don't come over!
Her Highness has been feeling woozy in the carriage.
How could she possibly have spotted a farmer's house along the way?
There's someone ahead of us! Get him!
Don't let them get away!
Your Majesty.
What is on your mind?
Is he really dead?
Yes, he is.
But why do I feel...
I can't quite find the words.
If Your Majesty has any concerns
you can have the imperial physician to take a look at him.
Imperial Physician!
At your service.
Your Majesty
Prince of Lan Ling no longer has a pulse nor is he breathing.
I can confirm that he is dead.
Your Majesty, the imperial physician has also declared Gao Chang Gong dead.
You can now be at ease?
Be at ease?
Be at ease...
I think that my fourth brother is truly remarkable.
He's really impressive.
When he was alive, he was a thorn in my flesh.
Now that he's dead...
Why do I still feel that thorn stuck right here?
It's gone even deeper into my flesh...
Get me a dagger!
His blood has gone dark.
My brother really is dead.
Your Majesty.
Here, Your Majesty.
It's all all right now.
- Guards. - Yes!
Take Gao Chang Gong's body outside.
- Let's not upset the King with it. - Yes!
Have you found Yang Xue Wu?
I went after Yang Xue Wu with the soldiers.
But she fell over a cliff when we were in pursuit.
The waters below the cliff is in a turbulent rush of undercurrents.
Yang Xue Wu will not survive that.
Where is her corpse?
It was too dark to look for it
so we haven't found it yet.
Search for it.
Before you find Yang Xue Wu's body
I won't believe that she's dead.
Either bring her back alive or bring her corpse back to me.
Do you hear me?
Yes, Your Highness!
A-Wen, put those shoes that Divine Sorceress patched for you
under the sun these days.
Otherwise, they will get moldy.
Mother...
Look! Is there someone over there?
Yes, it does seem so.
I'll go take a look.
Go and have a look quickly.
Mother, look!
Isn't this Divine Sorceress, the Princess Consort who patched my shoes?
It really is her.
She's still alive, hurry!
- Hurry up! - Mother, I'll carry her.
Hurry up.
Let's carry her home quickly.
I'll get a doctor.
Her Highness' pulse is weak.
Her blood circulation is slow and she's also caught a cold
so her blood flow is slow and her breath is shallow.
Sir, could you prescribe her any medication?
She's suffered some minor scratches
but fortunately, she isn't badly wounded internally.
The river was deep enough to prevent her from being wounded by sharp rocks.
If not, we'd have to fear for the worst.
What is the matter, sir?
Is her injury...
No, it's not about her injury.
Her Highness is expecting a child.
Her Highness is pregnant?
Prince of Lan Ling has an heir!
This is wonderful!
Who would have thought that Prince of Lan Ling had exploited the people?
And yet he held himself in such a high esteem.
Exactly. The King has already ordered him to take the poisonous wine.
Sires, His Majesty is unwell and will not be in court today.
Please dismiss.
Eunuch Xi, please notify His Majesty that I have important news.
Master Duan, didn't you hear Eunuch Xi say that His Majesty is unwell?
Are you trying to infuriate the King by talking to him about
Prince of Lan Ling who was already punished to take his own life?
Insolence!
We can't bring the dead to life.
I just hope that his corruption can be re-investigated.
This is to clear his name!
Why bother conducting an investigation again after his death?
Are you saying that the King set him up to kill a loyal subject?
- You! - Master Duan...
What crime have you committed by accusing the King?
What do you mean by that?
How could you talk in that manner?
Your Majesty, bad news!
Those officials started arguing among themselves in court!
Can't they let His Majesty relax a bit?
What is there to argue about?
Master Duan thinks that the prince's case has to be re-investigated
to prove his innocence.
The other officials think that Your Majesty was right to do so
and Prince of Lan Ling deserved to be killed.
Duan Shao and his gang are really loyal to Prince of Lan Ling.
After his death, they came here without fearing for their own lives.
They even dared to submit their petition.
Your Majesty, those officials are actually all on your side
and are loyal to you.
Not only do you own the world
but also me as well.
Dismiss them all.
I don't wish to talk about Prince of Lan Ling anymore.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Wait a minute.
Your Majesty, Prince of Lan Ling Gao Chang Gong might be a sinner
but I think that you should order a cenotaph to be built for him
to please the people.
First of all, that will demonstrate your benevolence and kinship.
Secondly, it could be a trap.
Should Yang Xue Wu still be alive
her love for Gao Chang Gong
will make her fall straight into our trap when she visits the tomb.
Zu Ting saw her fall down the cliff so she is sure to be dead.
How could she still be alive?
But her corpse is nowhere to be found!
We can't say for sure that she's dead or alive.
I won't take such a risk.
It's best to be careful.
Let's build his cenotaph on the hill in the east.
It must be done as soon as possible.
Send out flyers and put up the announcement.
Spread the news.
As long as Yang Xue Wu is alive
she will definitely show up.
Then, we will ambush her.
There's no way she can escape.
What do you think about that Your Majesty?
Do as you wish.
