[The Princess Weiyoung]
[Episode 5]
Don't speak. Make no sound.
They can't have gone far! Search carefully!
Go!
Go! They aren't here!
Take a look over there!
Who are you?
What's wrong?
I didn't do anything to you and you fainted?
[Yunlai Inn]
Young Master!
Young Master! Are you all right?
Are you hurt?
It's all right. I'm fine.
Are you all right?
- I'm fine. - That's good then.
Young Master, there were so many assassins after you.
Should anything happen to you, how am I to account for it?
Stop wailing. You'll disturb the doctor from reading her pulse.
Young Master, you were gone for a while and brought back a young lady?
What nonsense are you saying?
Shoo.
This young lady has been poisoned.
The poison was fed to her a little at a time.
It caused her wounds to fester and be difficult to heal.
Should it go on much longer, the poison will reach her heart.
Is there any way to cure her?
I... I can't be certain.
However, I can give it a try.
It's just that the treatment will be very painful.
The pain is unbearable to most people.
I can take it.
Young lady, this is the second pinprick.
Young lady, the third pinprick will be terribly painful.
Can you stand it?
I can...
Everything's all right now.
I've practiced medicine for years
and I've never had any patient who didn't scream at the three pinpricks.
I must stay alive...
Young Master, she has fallen asleep.
You can let go of her.
It's all right now.
Young Master, are we really going in there?
The Taoist master is very influential in Ping City.
If we were caught, not even the minister could save you.
Shut up.
This is Wei Young's only chance.
I have to do it.
Let's go.
Your Highness, are you practicing martial arts?
Exactly.
Once I master the ultimate skills, I'll fix you first.
Your Highness.
Isn't she the young lady you rescued from the fire?
She is so lucky.
You're always with her when she is in danger.
I've met you twice and you were in danger both times.
Just who exactly are you?
Pervert, why is it you again?
Who is the victim here?
You have to know that I saved your life.
Is this how you treat your savior?
- You saved me? - What else?
Who else is in this room but me?
I saved you once as well.
We can call it even.
I saved you twice, but you only saved me once.
How do you call that even?
Twice?
Why twice?
I rescued you from the fire last time as well.
Are you going to deny it?
It's you?
You do change your attitude really quickly.
I'm just surprised.
I was hunted by assassins, so I offended you out of anxiety.
I apologize to you for that.
Those assassins...
I've wronged you.
I should know that you're not that sort of person.
Of course not.
I think that I must have been indebted to you in my previous life.
That's why whenever you're in danger during this lifetime
I show up just in time.
No.
You're the god that Heaven has sent to rescue me.
God?
No, I just happen to run into you.
You are...
What are you doing?
I have nothing to repay you with for saving my life twice.
You already admitted that I saved you
so how could you just repay me with a kowtow or two?
What would you like me to do?
I haven't figured it out.
Why don't I think about it first?
I'll let you know when I have an idea.
I will surely repay your kindness.
I'm Li Wei Young. May I be so bold as to ask you for your name?
My name is Tuoba Jun.
Miss Wei Young, you're still frail.
You shouldn't keep talking.
Get some rest.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I'll be right back.
You can even play the zither?
Surprised?
Hardly anyone in Ping City can outdo me.
Listen carefully.
I heard that zither music can soothe one's mind.
It might do you some good.
Gods, have you heard my prayers?
I actually ran into him again.
How was it, Young Master?
Quickly.
I want to go home!
- There's no going home once you're here. - I want to go home!
I want to go home!
Who is it?
- Send a signal to Master Wang. - Yes!
Stop right there!
Kill them!
Shoot.
Leave now.
Go.
Stay put!
Master, we finally got to see the young lord.
Why didn't you take him with us?
Don't be so anxious.
It isn't the right time.
Our mission is to protect the young lord.
Otherwise, none of us can report back to the Khan in Rouran.
- Understood? - Yes.
[Hejian Quarters] It was all going well.
Why would that happen?
I really couldn't believe it.
The Taoist master would actually do such a thing?
It's all true.
His Majesty was furious when he heard about it.
The Taoist master is to be beheaded in public as a warning.
Fortunately, Li Wei Young is already dead.
Otherwise, she would have an advantage over us now.
Mother, you shouldn't be too concerned about it.
Didn't that Taoist master even claim that Li Wei Young would hinder me?
Yet she was so easily eliminated.
It proves that his words can't be taken too seriously.
The Taoist master might be morally corrupt in his ways
but he did inherit his mentor's awe-inspiring skills in divination.
The wheels of destiny are always mystical and unpredictable.
How can we take it lightly?
Chang Le, you must bear this in mind.
It's always best to strike first.
Mother, you're right.
It's just that there's another matter...
The Taoist master is now imprisoned.
Would he reveal everything?
He is involved in dealings with many.
Now that he is in trouble
there will be many others who wish to silence him.
Don't worry.
He won't be able to spill a word.
What is it? Would you like to learn to play that tune?
Young Master.
You don't have to be so polite.
Just call me Tuoba Jun.
I'll teach you.
I think that you must feeling cooped up.
There's a nice place in the inn with a good view.
If you're not tired, I'll take you there.
The doctor said that when you feel better you should walk about more often.
You mustn't keep staying in bed.
I can walk on my own.
Who knew that there's such a lovely place in the inn?
I stumbled upon this by accident.
I think that you'd like it.
Wow.
These are my favorite flowers.
Watch out!
There are so many butterflies!
They are so beautiful!
Why would you suddenly get so seriously wounded?
Mother, don't worry.
I'm all right.
I had a bit of an argument with someone over something.
See? I'm quite strong.
What is a wound or two?
Min De, you might still be very young, but you don't act recklessly.
Tell me the truth.
Do you have anything to do with the arrest of the Taoist master?
I didn't say a word.
It is just as I thought.
Why wouldn't you just heed my advice?
I know that you want to save Wei Young
but should your Aunt Rou learn about this...
Mother, don't worry.
I've already made it very clear to Master Wang.
He wouldn't say that I'm involved.
You are simply too naive!
Min Feng?
A bastard child like you dares to go against the Li family?
What are you going to do?
You think that I'll put up with you because you're the first born?
I'll teach you a lesson for being so impudent!
- Min De! Stop it! - Mother!
Don't go against Min Feng.
Li Min Feng, there's just so much that one can tolerate!
You think that I'm scared of you?
Min Feng!
How has Min De offended you?
Why would you get so agitated?
It's fine if he only offended me, but this little bastard has offended
every nobility in Ping City this time!
Do you not have anything to do with the arrest?
- Do you trust Master Wang that much? - Yes.
I did it.
What do you want from me?
Min De!
How dare you act so outrageously?
Should anything go wrong, the entire Li family will be implicated!
If I hadn't sneaked into the Taoist master's home at night
no one would know that he kidnaps toddlers!
Min De!
It seems that you didn't know about his misconduct beforehand.
You happen to stumble upon it.
Tell me why you went to the Taoist master's at night!
- I... - Brother-in-law!
Min De went there because of me.
I've been having nightmares.
I told Min De to visit the Taoist master to ask for a solution.
Who knew that Min De still acts like a child at heart?
That was why he got himself into such trouble.
Brother-in-law, you can just blame me for this.
- Blame me instead! - Mother.
Spare the rod, spoil the child!
The Li family will not be destroyed in your hands!
I...
- What are you doing? - Mother! I will answer for what I did.
Don't take the blame for me!
- Min De! - Uncle!
I sneaked into the Taoist master's home at night
in order to seek out his wrongdoings!
I think that he was instigated into harming Wei Young!
He is now proven to be a swindler!
His words can't be taken seriously!
Uncle, please bring Wei Young home.
She is after all your daughter.
How could you bear to see her suffer?
You would actually put the Li family in such danger for Li Wei Young?
That Taoist master was right after all.
Li Wei Young is indeed a beguiling witch.
I have always been honest and righteous.
No one can beguile me!
However, as for you, my aunt, why do you keep picking on Wei Young?
You speak to my mother like that?
- Min Feng! - What are you?
- Hands off me! - Let go of him!
What are all of you doing?
- Old Madam. - What are you doing?
You...
Listen up.
I must bring Wei Young home!
She must be brought home in glory!
Nanny Luo, go and fetch Second Young Mistress home.
As for the procession, the bigger the better!
I won't have anyone belittle a daughter of the Li family!
Yes, Old Madam!
This treacherous gang of swindlers...
They have put my granddaughter thorough such an ordeal for nothing!
I will never allow anything as such to happen again!
I'm afraid that it is all too late by now.
I wondered why the Taoist master would be exposed at such a crucial moment.
Li Min De was actually behind it all.
It's a pity that Li Wei Young is already dead.
His efforts have gone to waste.
That bastard is always going against me.
I will get rid of him sooner or later.
The Taoist master has dealings with the nobility.
Someone will get rid of Li Min De
once I give him away as the culprit behind the arrest of the Taoist master.
Min Feng, you mustn't act so recklessly.
Why not? Mother, haven't you always wanted to get rid of him?
Once Li Min De is dead
Mrs. Zhou will have no one to depend on.
The assets of the third son will then belong to Mother!
You get that momentary pleasure in exposing Li Min De's actions.
However, should anyone take advantage of this matter
it could do you and your father's future careers great harm.
Li Min De is still a member of the Li family.
If you wish to get rid of him, you can only do so in secret.
Mother, you're still so thorough. I have learned much.
Young Master, didn't Old Madam already send her maids
to fetch Miss Wei Young home?
Why do you still seem upset?
Do you understand?
Madam Li is out to kill Wei Young.
Yet she didn't object to Grandmother's proposition.
It seems somehow weird.
No matter how domineering Madam Li is, she has to obey Old Madam.
I think that you must be overreacting.
I hope so.
However, you really offended Eldest Young Master
and Madam this time for Miss Wei Young's sake.
Am I to fear them?
Let's go. Come with me to attend to my mother.
She must be worried about me.
[Yunlai Inn]
Your Highness...
She just took the medication.
It makes her sleepy.
Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.
I believe we will soon meet again.
Instruct the innkeeper to assign a skillful maid to serve her.
Your Highness, we had better hurry back home.
It says in the letter that Her Highness is very ill.
By the way, what have you found out?
I found this on the assassin.
This was a weapon Crown Prince left behind
when he attacked the Southern Dynasties.
The weapon carries the mark of the Southern Dynasties.
It was because Prince of Dongping rendered meritorious service then
that it was later bestowed to him.
Could it be...
We can't determine the culprit as my uncle with just a dagger.
After Crown Prince passed away, Prince of Dongping kept picking on you.
You rarely stay in Ping City so as to avoid meeting him.
Who knew that you'd be ambushed just as you're heading home?
This must be related to Prince of Dongping somehow!
We are after all uncle and nephew.
"You can break a bone, but the tendons remain attached."
Any misunderstanding can be resolved.
Misunderstanding?
Your Highness, the assassins were right at your heels.
You mustn't let your guard down!
Let's go.
Your Highness, it went just as you had expected.
Prince of Gaoyang has discovered clues from the weapons.
He now suspects Prince of Dongping.
Cheng An, do you know why I like to keep fish as pets?
As long as I throw them some food
I get to see them fight against each other.
What can be more interesting than that?
Your Highness, Prince of Dongping asks to see you.
His carriage is waiting outside.
[Prince of Dongping's Manor]
Your Highness.
Brother Han.
Don't stand on ceremony.
This is the written report accusing me of allowing my men to raid civilian land.
Take a look!
A new Crown Prince is to be selected anytime these days.
Should Father come across this report...
Exactly!
I might be able to seize this one, but there will be another!
Father will find out about this matter eventually.
You should know that Father would never allow
anyone in the army to harass civilians.
However, if I don't let my men get some benefits
who will be willing to risk their lives for me?
Yu, you always have great ideas.
You must come up with a solution for me.
Don't worry.
I will surely help you out.
You just need to discipline your men and get those lands back.
Cut off those that you should and make them go away.
Pick one or two of them to be punished for the crime.
By then, your good reputation will be known to the people and officials.
Even if anyone wishes to accuse you, they wouldn't be able to do so.
However, if I do so, wouldn't there be much resentment in the army?
If necessary, you'd have no choice but to pacify them in another way.
You want me to give out money to them?
All right! I'll do as you say!
- Jiang Zuo! - Present.
- I'll leave you in charge of this. - Yes, Your Highness.
A mere Grand Master of Remonstrance...
He dares to go against me?
That Master Liu...
Speak your mind!
Don't hold back!
I heard that Master Liu is somehow related to the late Crown Prince Jing Mu.
Crown Prince Jing Mu?
Tuoba Jun will soon be back in Ping City.
Before he arrives
one of his father's former followers suddenly accused me of misconduct!
Crown Princess Consort! Tuoba Jun!
What have you been scheming?
Just what have you been scheming!
You are...
You're awake, young lady?
Where is the young master who has been taking care of me?
He has already left. He paid for all expenses and medical treatment.
He hopes that you can recuperate well.
He already left?
Didn't he leave me any message?
No.
Why didn't he bid me farewell?
Did an urgent matter come up?
What could be so urgent that he didn't even leave me a message?
Young lady, where are you going? Young lady!
Perhaps I was but a stranger that he happened to meet along the way.
I don't matter to him at all?
It's fine.
I should never think about such matters.
Mother!
Jun!
You're home, Jun!
You have finally come home, Jun!
Let me take a look to see if you have changed much.
- You look well. - Aren't you critically ill?
How are you feeling?
All right now. Stop spinning me about.
Would you like to see me critically ill?
Of course not.
But that letter...
Fortunately, Chang Le gave me the good idea of writing that letter.
Otherwise, who knows when this silly son of mine will come home?
Eldest Young Mistress of the Li family?
You only left home over a year ago and you address her so formally?
Have you forgotten that when you first saw her as a child
you had wanted to marry her?
That was years ago!
I was too young then.
Why would you remember that?
Now that I see how healthy Mother is, I can finally stop worrying.
You had me scared to death!
I was in such a hurry to get home that my horse nearly died.
I want you scared.
I want your horse exhausted.
If not, would you rush home so quickly to see me?
Jun.
It's been such a long while.
Do you know how much I've missed you?
I know that you don't wish to remain in the court after your father's death.
However...
You shouldn't have left your mother alone at home for such a long time.
I have been unfilial.
I will surely serve Mother well from now on.
Really?
Yes.
That's better.
Young Mistress!
Zi Yan!
Zi Yan! I've returned!
It's all fine now! We can head home!
Where is Young Mistress? Is she well?
Young Mistress is...
Where is Young Mistress?
Where has she gone?
Speak up!
She died!
Young Mistress was taken away and left on the mountain!
How is that possible?
What?
You said that Second Young Mistress is dead?
- Tidy up that room. - They did it!
They left her on the mountain!
You! Get over here!
Explain everything to me!
I am not to be blamed for it.
Second Young Mistress was barely alive then.
I worried that she would die in Old Madam's manor
and bring her misfortune.
I came with Old Madam when she married into the Li family.
Whose best interests would I have at heart if not Old Madam's?
Even if it were so
that is no way to treat your young mistress!
I will report this matter to Old Madam.
We shall see how Old Madam deals with you.
However, Nanny Cui, as a senior lady's maid
you should know the house rules of Li Manor very well.
Whoever dares to harm the masters and mistresses always ends up dead!
Take her away!
- Keep her locked up! - Yes!
Have mercy on me!
- Move! - Have mercy!
How could you just let them drag Young Mistress away?
How did she once save our lives?
How did she used to treat us?
Have you forgotten all about that?
I'm sorry.
This is all my fault...
I was really too frightened!
Bai Zhi, hit me! Beat me to death!
Beat me to death!
We can only send more men to search for her on the mountain.
We'll see if we can find Second Young Mistress.
Don't bother. I'm right here.
Young Mistress!
- Young Mistress... - Miss Wei Young...
- Is it really you? - It's me.
I have returned.
Young Mistress, it really is you!
Young Mistress, your health...
Look at you.
Someone would think that you've seen a ghost.
This is great!
Young Mistress is alive! How wonderful!
Silly girl. Your young mistress won't die so easily.
What exactly happened, Young Mistress?
I happened to be very lucky.
Young Mistress, it is my fault.
I failed to protect you.
Please punish me!
It's all right.
Zi Yan, those women were so ruthless.
How could you possibly fend them off on your own?
I won't blame you.
Stop blaming yourself.
Thank you, Young Mistress.
Everything's fine now.
Young Mistress, has your wound really healed?
Don't I look well right now?
We will be going home soon.
The path ahead of us will be tougher than ever.
We have to get back on our feet.
I'll send someone to inform Old Madam right away
that Second Young Mistress is well.
We can head back to Li Manor very soon.
Second Young Mistress is home!
I've heard about the minister's daughter
but I didn't know that he has a second daughter.
This is such a grand carriage. She must be quite outstanding.
Exactly. This is such a grand procession.
The way is even cleared for her return to the manor.
Second Young Mistress has arrived.
Greetings to Second Young Mistress upon her return to the manor!
[Minister's Manor]
Chiyun Rou...
Little did you expect me to return.
Second Young Mistress.
