[The Princess Weiyoung]
[Episode 28]
Young Mistress, what should we do now?
Whatever happened today is strictly between the both of us.
Don't reveal a word of it or your life is at stake.
I understand.
Go and get that maid to inform Prince of Nan-An of my visit.
Yes.
I'd like to know what His Highness intends to do with Li Wei Young.
Your Highness.
I made these snacks and brought them here for you.
They are quite good.
Consort Zhaoyi has invited quite a few ladies to the palace for her birthday.
I'm also invited.
My mother said that this invitation seemed as if
it's a consort audition for Your Highness.
My mother might actually have that intention.
Your Highness...
How would I not understand what you have on your mind?
You're very loyal to me.
I definitely won't let you down.
For a long time
I've already had Your Highness on my mind.
As long as you will have me by your side
that's a lifetime of happiness for me.
Romance doesn't matter much to me.
What I really care about is loyalty.
Why would Your Highness wish to marry my second cousin?
In my opinion, judging from Wei Young's personality
she's unlikely to serve you faithfully.
How would you know about that?
When you were at Prime Minister's Manor
I happen to overhear your conversation with my second cousin.
Could it be that Your Highness is...
What are you thinking about?
Haven't I already told you?
Romance means nothing to me.
Li Wei Young has her worth.
If we are to discuss loyalty, she is no match for you.
In my mind, she couldn't be compared to you.
You're different from anyone else to me.
[Ruyi Residence]
My daughter has a birthmark on her left arm.
Li Wei Young...
You really are the princess of Northern Liang.
If your identity is exposed, you will surely be killed.
Your Highness, Miss Li Chang Le seeks audience.
Chang Le?
- Invite her in quickly. - Yes.
Greetings to Your Highness.
Don't stand on ceremony.
Chang Le, you've come to visit me again.
When I think of His Highness's safety, I just can't eat or sleep well.
Only when I see Your Highness do I feel a bit more at ease.
It's truly nice of you to keep Jun on your mind at all times.
Now it's confirmed that Jun is fine and still alive.
In no time, he should be able to return safely.
Therefore, you won't have to worry too much.
Your Highness, you are...
I'm copying the scriptures to pray for Jun's safety.
Allow me to grind some ink for you.
You're my guest.
You came especially to visit me
so how could I let you grind ink for me?
Please don't take it to heart.
It's my honor to accompany Your Highness
in copying scriptures for the prince's safety.
I only pray that the gods can sense our sincerity.
I hope that His Highness will return soon.
Her Highness will be playing the zither here later.
Be sure to clean this place nicely.
Yes.
Especially the table.
It must be wiped clean. Understood?
Why didn't Young Mistress tell Her Highness
that you risked your life to save the prince at the hunting grounds?
I promised His Highness not to mention it to anyone else.
Should Her Highness learn of it, she might make a decision right away.
But it is Wei Young that His Highness likes.
I don't wish to force His Highness into doing what he doesn't want.
- But Young Mistress... - Enough.
Young Mistress, Qiu Yi just left.
Chang Le really is deeply in love with Jun.
Other matters aside
just her affections alone are a lot stronger than Li Wei Young's.
I can't allow Jun to let this lovely young lady down.
When he gets home
I will have His Majesty bestow marriage to them.
This is a blessing in disguise.
If Chiyun Nan hadn't sent his men after us
I'd never know how you feel about me.
I'm really sorry about what I did.
In the past
I kept turning you down and avoided seeing you.
I even said some mean things to you.
You must have been so upset.
My heart was all shattered.
I was just teasing you.
You have such an inconceivable past.
How could I blame you?
By the way, there's another matter.
There was that assassin at the hunting grounds
who was killed by Chiyun Nan.
How is he related to you?
You seem to care greatly for him.
That was Uncle Ming.
He was my secret bodyguard as well as Jun Tao's father.
He isn't an assassin at all.
He was just trying to save me.
He wished to clear Liang Region of mutiny charges.
He sacrificed his life for that reason.
I didn't protect him in the end.
Wei Young.
I know that you can never forget how Liang was vanquished
but this is all in the past and can't be changed.
But please believe me
that my grandfather never wanted to wipe out the royal family of Liang.
He was deceived by Chiyun Nan.
I will have this matter thoroughly investigated.
I believe you.
What beautiful scenery.
Sadly, all I've been thinking of was seeking revenge.
I've long forgotten how to appreciate life.
You still have me.
In the future, both of us
will set out on a journey together to explore the world!
Shall we?
Yes.
Split up to search for them!
Report back if you find anything!
Yes!
Second Young Master, you've been looking for Young Mistress
and haven't had any rest for days.
Leave this to me.
Head back and get some sleep.
As long as I don't see Wei Young's safe return
I can never put my mind at ease!
Young Lord, I've discovered Li Wei Young's whereabouts.
Wei Young!
Wei...
Come and get me!
Wei Young, slow down!
Be careful!
Don't trip and fall!
You can't catch me?
Who said so?
Wait for me!
I have something for you.
What is it? What's so secretive?
A pebble?
This is no ordinary pebble.
This is a pair of stones.
This one is for you and I'm keeping that for myself.
It has such pretty patterns.
I'll carry this stone with me at all times.
Whenever I miss you, I will take it out.
When I look at it, it's like looking at you.
I'll also treat this stone as if it were you.
When I miss you, I can also look at this stone.
Where is he?
Didn't he head here?
Why don't I see him?
Your Highness.
Didn't you say that you're here to help with the search?
But who exactly are you looking for?
Is it Prince of Gaoyang or Imperial Guard Li?
It's surely Li...
Do you want to get beaten up?
Princess, look!
Those guards were right.
- Imperial Guard Li is here. - Let's go.
Jun and Wei Young are both fine?
That's wonderful!
Li Min De!
A rabbit!
Over there!
Li Min De!
It doesn't seem right, Your Highness.
Isn't Lady of District Anping safe?
Why doesn't Imperial Guard Li seem happy at all?
- Wait here. I'll take a look. - Yes.
What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
Li Min De! Wait up!
Li Min De! Wait!
- Why do you keep following me? - I...
What's the matter with you?
Why did you cry?
You...
Go away!
Do you hear me?
But... Your hand is hurt!
Leave me alone!
Who do you think you are?
How dare you treat me so!
I'll have Father chop off your head!
As you please!
- What are you doing? - Don't move!
Although I don't know what happened
no matter how deep a wound might be
it will always heal as time goes by.
So don't be sad anymore.
His Highness is safe now.
Princess, don't worry.
I knew about that already.
Thank you, Your Highness.
You're actually not that unfeeling after all.
Princess!
Li Min De, wait up!
Young Mistress!
Your Ladyship!
Young Mistress!
Your Highness! Young Mistress!
Search over there.
- Yes! - Yes!
Your Ladyship!
Your Highness!
Second Young Master.
We've searched within this area.
Wei Young is over there.
Go look for her now.
You can head back first. I'd like to have some time alone.
Young Mistress!
Jun Tao!
It's great to see you again!
Are you hurt?
We were worried sick!
Don't worry, I'm fine.
Tuoba Jun saved me.
He was badly wounded again because of me.
Chiyun Nan has also been sending assassins after us
so we could only stay here.
Is Your Highness fond of Tuoba Jun?
Yes.
During this period of time, we went through life and death together.
I fully realized what it means to say that life is unpredictable.
Who could possibly know what will happen in the future?
Therefore, I want to cherish the present.
I don't want to let him down again.
Jun Tao...
You won't blame me, will you?
Your Highness has already suffered so much.
Whatever Your Highness decides to do, I'll follow your lead until death.
[Ping City]
Whatever happens from now on
we will face all obstacles together.
In life and death, never shall we part.
[Jinggong Gate]
Jun...
Greetings to Grandfather and Mother.
It's unfilial of me to have worried Grandfather.
You know that you're unfilial?
Ever since you returned to Ping City
you have worried your mother and me at all times.
How should I punish you?
Your Majesty, Jun finally made it home safe and sound.
How could you bear to punish him?
I'm much relieved to see Grandfather so energetic and well.
However you decide to punish me, I will accept it willingly.
What should I do with you?
What you just said is fairly reasonable.
We should get him a wife to rein him in.
Your Majesty.
Prime Minister Li's eldest daughter Li Chang Le is beautiful
intelligent, gentle, and virtuous.
What's even better is that she has deep affection for Jun.
Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty
can bestow marriage to Jun and Li Chang Le.
Mother!
Marriage has always been decided by the parents.
The princess consort I choose for you will surely suit you best.
If you still regard me as your mother, you will obey me.
Filial piety and marriage are two different things!
Please don't confuse them with one another.
Grandfather, I have already fallen for someone else.
No matter how wonderful Li Chang Le is, I will not marry her!
You have fallen for someone?
Are you referring to Li Wei Young?
Her birthright, looks, and talent
cannot be compared to Li Chang Le's.
Most importantly, she has no affection for you at all!
Mother, you've misunderstood Wei Young!
Hold on.
Both of you have each chosen one daughter of Prime Minister Li?
Your Majesty.
Although Li Wei Young is conferred Lady of District Anping
it still doesn't change the fact that her birth mother was a foot bath maid.
But Wei Young came up with a plan to relieve numerous civilians from disaster!
Didn't you say many great men arise from humble beginnings?
Li Wei Young acts willfully and impertinently.
However, Li Chang Le is gentle and intelligent.
That is a true prestigious lady.
She is suitable to be Prince of Gaoyang's spouse!
That's enough.
Li Chang Le is intelligent and gentle?
Why is she quite different from the Li Chang Le that I know?
Your Majesty, it's a misunderstanding.
Please look into it.
Jun.
Is Li Wei Young that lady you think of so dearly but failed to court?
Grandfather.
Wei Young actually does have affection for me.
Fine...
She was just putting on an act in front of me.
What a crafty woman.
Your Majesty.
Would it become a joke
if your prime imperial grandson marries a foot bath maid's daughter?
By then, how could Your Majesty face the others?
How will that make Great Wei look?
- Grandfather... - All right. That's enough for now.
In the next few days
I'll summon Chiyun Nan and have him bring Li Chang Le along.
I'll observe her and then decide.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I believe that Li Chang Le won't disappoint Your Majesty.
Don't worry, Old Madam.
Young Mistress's injuries are already much better now.
She will recover in two or three days after taking the medication.
She fell from such a high cliff.
Doctor, are you sure about her injuries?
I'm just concerned about Wei Young.
I'm just concerned...
She's really lucky.
Come with me to get the medication.
Yes.
Wei Young.
Mother.
I'm all right.
Don't worry about me.
Wei Young.
I'm so relieved to see you return home safe and sound.
Whenever I thought that you could be dead
I just...
Silly girl.
Am I not alive and well now?
Don't worry.
You've lost so much weight.
Wei Young has to be well nourished during this period.
Get the kitchen to work with the doctor in preparing meals for Junlan Quarters.
Old Madam, don't worry.
I've always regarded Wei Young as my own daughter.
Didn't I hire the doctor right after she got home?
Don't worry.
I will nurse her back to health.
I'm sorry to have worried Grandmother.
It's all right.
As long as you got home safely, I'm already much relieved.
By the way, Wei Young
I heard that Prince of Gaoyang fell off the cliff in order to save you.
What exactly was that about?
We ran into criminals on our journey home.
It was Prince of Gaoyang who rescued me.
That is to say
Prince of Gaoyang risked his own life to save you?
Prince of Gaoyang and Wei Young spent so many days alone
at the bottom of the cliff.
It seems that Wei Young will definitely have to marry him now.
Even if she can't be his princess consort
she is already lucky enough to be his side consort.
That is her good fortune.
Stop being so sarcastic.
Why wasn't I the one who ran into criminals?
If it had been me and Prince of Nan-An happened to pass by
he'd definitely rescue me regardless of his own safety
because he's such a valiant man.
We would fall over the cliff together and pledge to marry in conjugal bliss.
Even though...
Even if I'm only made a side consort, I'll still be very content.
Your Highness...
However deep our love runs, our fate was not meant to be.
Mother...
Mother!
Drink the medication first.
I'd still like to chat with Wei Young.
Am I disturbing you from getting some rest?
You're most welcome in here.
I've been in bed all day long.
I'm so bored.
I heard about you and Prince of Gaoyang.
Is it true?
It's true that he rescued me
and it's also true that we share a mutual affection.
Congratulations!
Doesn't it mean that you will soon be married?
There is no knowing what the future holds.
Why would you say so?
I've heard that Prince of Nan-An is also very kind to you.
Is it because of him?
Prince of Nan-An?
Why would you mention him?
Do you feel...
I don't have any affection for him.
As for what Prince of Nan-An has in mind
let's just say that it's totally unfathomable.
I can't understand him and I don't wish to.
You're right.
Leave him be.
You will surely get together with Prince of Gaoyang in the end.
Mother...
No matter what you say, I won't ever change my mind.
- Let go of me. - I just wish to ask
if Mother is feeling better.
I'm very healthy and well.
- Don't worry. - That's good.
Mother, I'm going to talk about a serious issue now.
Why would you keep forcing me to marry a woman I don't like?
Marriage has always been decided by the parents.
What is there to like or dislike?
Chang Le is an affectionate child.
You will be very happy if you marry her.
However, that Li Wei Young seems to be so hard and cold.
I just don't like her.
Mother.
Do you really know Li Chang Le that well?
Even if neither of you told me
I already found out that she saved your life.
How do you know about it?
I found out by chance.
Look.
She has already done so much for you.
Could you still let her down?
If she hadn't made such an effort to conceal it
I would have told your grandfather about it.
Once your grandfather learns of it, who knows?
He might bestow marriage to both of you.
I'm grateful to Li Chang Le for saving my life.
I will repay her kindness, but not with marriage.
I don't care what you like about Li Wei Young.
All I know is that she almost got you killed.
What about Chang Le?
She risked her life to save you.
I like her.
I'm also grateful to her.
I won't allow you to let her down.
Greetings to Crown Princess Consort and Your Highness.
Mother...
You are here.
Don't stand on ceremony.
I heard that Prince of Gaoyang has returned safely
so I've come to visit him.
Jun, do you know that when you went missing
Chang Le came to keep me company
and copied scriptures every day to pray for your safety.
The affection she has for you
is a million times more than that Li Wei Young does.
Why can't you see that?
Your Highness.
Everything that I did, I did so willingly.
Please don't blame Prince of Gaoyang.
Look at her.
I feel so bad for this child.
I won't say one more word, Jun.
Today, Chang Le came especially to visit you.
By right and reason, you should keep her company.
I'll leave first.
Mother...
This is the safety amulet that I've prayed for Your Highness with.
It will keep you safe if you carry it with you.
I'm afraid for all my life
I won't be able to reciprocate Miss Li's affection.
I won't be able to accept this safety amulet.
Your Highness.
You've misunderstood me.
It carries no other implication.
It's just that Your Highness has been involved in many accidents
so I went to pray for this amulet.
I knelt and prayed three days for it.
Anyway, this amulet is meant for Your Highness.
Do as you please with it.
Miss Li!
Wei Young.
Do you know that I've never wanted to be just your cousin?
But now...
It might even be impossible to still stay by your side.
Now that Lady of District Anping has returned safely
when will Young Lord fulfill your promise to head back to Rouran with me?
Second Young Master!
Young Mistress.
Second Young Master is here.
Wei Young.
His Majesty has already assigned Master Wang
to investigate this case.
It's just that from what I learned
Master Wang has yet to make any progress on it.
Even without investigating, I already know who the culprit is.
I'm the sole target of this assassination.
Who else but the Chiyun family could have such hatred for me
as well as such powerful and skillful assassins?
If that is so, this is one tricky matter.
Even if there's solid evidence
Master Wang wouldn't dare to accuse the Chiyun family.
That means the case will never be concluded.
Power is such a wonderful thing to have.
Once you have power, you can do whatever you want.
Min De?
This jade hairpin looks lovely.
Can I have it?
You're such a child.
What do you want with a lady's accessory?
Don't worry about it.
I know what I want with it.
Do you have someone on your mind?
This one isn't nice.
I have a new one.
Its craftsmanship and quality are better than this one's.
I'll go get it for you.
Wei Young.
Don't bother.
It's good enough to have just this hairpin.
Wei Young, will you miss me if I suddenly disappear one day?
Suddenly?
Disappear?
What nonsense is that?
What happened?
What could possibly happen?
I'm just teasing you.
Look how worried you are.
What can't you tease me with?
How can you joke about that?
I think that you need to taught a lesson!
It hurts! You...
See how much it hurts?
Where are your manners again?
Young Mistress!
Young Mistress, they are sent from Crown Prince Manor.
Your Ladyship.
Prince of Gaoyang has ordered me to bring some precious medicinal herbs over
and remind Your Ladyship to recuperate well.
Prince of Gaoyang is so nice to Young Mistress.
There is also a letter.
Young Mistress.
[One day apart seems like three years.]
What is he doing here?
Commander Jiao.
Greetings to Young Lord.
Now that Lady of District Anping has returned safely
when will Young Lord fulfill the promise you made to return to Rouran with me?
Khan is awaiting your return.
Khan...
Rouran...
What is going on?
Don't worry, I won't go back on my word.
Give me some more time.
I can't just suddenly disappear.
Once I've made the arrangements, I'll go back with you.
Li Min De, it's me!
Princess?
- Let go of her. - No.
She now knows your true identity.
For your safety, this woman must be killed!
- You... - No!
I don't know anything at all!
Rouran? Khan? I know nothing at all!
Lin Min De, save me!
Let go of her!
This concerns Young Lord's safety.
Forgive me for defying your orders.
Before I came to Wei, Khan gave me strict orders to protect your safety.
There is to be no exception.
I won't allow you to take innocent lives.
If you're going to kill her, you have to kill me first!
I,Tuoba Di, swear upon the name of the imperial princess
that I will never do anything to hurt Li Min De.
Not now, not ever.
Not in my lifetime.
Has Your Highness been stalking me?
I...
I just wanted to see you.
See me?
What's the matter?
Who exactly are you?
Didn't you hear him?
He just mentioned Rouran and Khan.
He also addresses you as Young Lord.
You're a Rouran?
You're the son of the Khan of Rouran?
What now?
Are you going to tell His Majesty?
No!
If my father learns that you're the prince of Rouran
he certainly won't let you go.
You know that you might be in danger of being exposed
so why did you still stop him from killing me?
A man of honor has his principles.
I'd never kill an innocent person just to conceal my identity.
Don't worry.
Since you chose not to kill me how could I harm you?
I won't reveal your identity.
This is our secret.
It's getting late.
I'll escort you home.
Did your father command you to return to Rouran?
Then... Can you still stay here?
I don't know.
[Jinggong Gate]
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
You rendered a great service in protecting me at the hunting banquet
and now you've discovered an iron mine for me.
This is great work that you have done.
Therefore, I have summoned you to the palace today to reward you.
There is no other outsider.
Do make yourself at home.
Drop the formality.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
It's my duty to protect Your Majesty.
I feel guilty in accepting a reward for doing so.
Why isn't Prince of Gaoyang here yet?
Chang Le.
Why haven't you been to the banquets here in the palace lately?
Your Highness
I've been staying in the abbey
to pray for my mother because of her illness.
I hope that she will recover soon.
Your Highness might not have known
that my cousin once spent three months in the abbey
praying every day and living on unrefined food
in the hope that her sincerity could move the gods.
This is so touching.
Your Majesty.
You're indeed a filial daughter.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Chang Le, it's just been a few days.
Why have you lost so much weight?
My cousin has been attending to her sick mother day and night.
Recently, she had also been worried about the safety of Prince of Gaoyang
and Lady of District Anping.
She even went and prayed for three days and nights
before the statues of the gods to get a safety amulet for Prince of Gaoyang.
Cousin!
Chang Le, you're so thoughtful.
Have you given that amulet to Prince of Gaoyang?
His Highness has accepted it.
I just hope that His Highness will be safe and sound from now on.
Your Majesty.
Jun wouldn't accept a gift from just any lady.
He must be impressed by her.
Chang Le is filial and kind.
Shouldn't she be rewarded?
I only did what I should.
There's nothing more I wish for.
Mother...
Chang Le...
Mother, don't worry.
I have already won over Crown Princess Consort and His Majesty.
I can surely become the imperial granddaughter-in-law.
My wish will come true.
My Chang Le...
You've finally improved.
I'm so relieved.
I've kept your words in mind.
Make use of anyone that I could and grab on to any chance that I have.
Then, I'll soon be on my way to success.
Mother.
You must get well soon to see me marry Prince of Gaoyang.
She likes me.
She likes me not.
She likes me.
She likes me not.
She likes me.
She likes me not.
She doesn't like you.
She does!
She likes me not.
She likes me!
Your Highness.
Why aren't they here yet?
Wait.
Your Highness, they are here!
Tuoba Jun!
I'll take a walk over there.
Young Mistress.
I'll take a walk as well.
Your Highness, I...
- You... - She doesn't like you.
Just wait and see.
What is he doing here?
That's my cousin.
He's still tagging along at this age?
I'm still recovering from my injuries
so if he doesn't come along my grandmother would never let me out.
Thank you!
By the way, why did you want to see me so urgently?
Come with me, I'll take you somewhere.
This is such a special place!
Does this place have some special significance to you?
I can't hide anything from you.
Wei Young, do you know that apart from my deceased father
you're the only other person who knows about this place?
I've never heard you mention Crown Prince before.
My father was a very stern man.
Whenever I made a mistake he would always punish me severely.
When he caned me, he was never lenient.
When I was young, I thought that he was truly frightening.
Whenever I was sad and couldn't talk to anyone about it
I would come here secretly and tell it to this old tree.
Surprisingly, whenever I shared my troubles with it
my wishes always ended up being fulfilled.
Is it really that miraculous?
I remembered that when I turned 10 years old
I once made a wish for a very rare Sword of Dark Shadows.
It's the one that I'm using now.
Who knew that I'd actually find it here?
This is a blessed tree.
Wei Young, do you believe that?
The old tales said life exists in all forms.
They made nature all the more awe-inspiring.
But then one day, I found this bell in my father's study.
Crown Prince's compassion in watching over you as a father
is simply too touching.
That was when I knew however stern my father might seem
he actually cared for me in secret.
When I finally understood him...
my father was already gravely ill.
After Father passed away I suffered such a terrible grief.
I used traveling as an excuse to stay away from home.
I didn't know what I truly wanted until I met you.
It is you that I want.
And my mother.
I want us to be together forever.
Spirit of my father
your son, Tuoba Jun, brings forth his beloved woman today.
No matter what difficulties lie ahead of us..
May we...
Stay as one forever, and never shall we part.
