Don't be scared
Everyone who learns how to ride will fall
I often fell when I was younger
Sit tight!
Ruoxi
Hang on, Ruoxi !
Ruoxi Ruoxi
Give your hand to me
Are you all right?
Ruoxi, are you all right?
Why did you let go of the reins?
Luckily, Bei'lei'ye was around
if not Minmin will be in deep trouble
Come, let me send you back
Give your hand to me
Ge'ge don't trouble yourself
Anyway, since I'll be returning to the camp,
let me send Ruoxi back
Bei'le'ye, thank you for your trouble
I will visit you when I am free
It must hurt alot right?
Just let me indulge this once
Just this once
Forget that he is the Eight prince
Forget that he has wives
Forget my reason
Your heart
has me inside
Indeed, I am in your heart
Ruoxi
Oh, by the way,
why were you together with Minmin Ge'ge?
We met by coincidence
She found out that I wanted to learn horse riding
and kindly offered to teach me
But I must really thank you
Fortunately I encountered you
I happen to be passing by
when I saw you riding in the distance and decided to come and take a look
When you are learning to ride a horse the next time
let me teach you
Yes
Please allow me to be excused
That's right, I do indeed like him
How could I be
so indifferent to his many years of sacrifice?
But what should I do about this relationship?
I have too many fears
Too many considerations
Moreover he is too ambitious
and has too many wives
What should I do?
What should I do in the future?
Ruoxi, it's me
It's me!
Fourteenth prince?
What are you doing here?
Are you crazy?
To go as far as to disobey the royal decree
The emperor ordered you to remain in the city
But you dared to come all the way here
Are you not scared of angering the emperor?
Why did you not stay in the city?
I came because I had to see Eighth brother
However, over here
it's either Imperial Father's men
or the Crown Prince's men
They are too familiar with me
I'm afraid that if they see my figure from behind they will be suspicious
So I came to find you
Is it because
something happened in the city?
Nothing major
It's just that I have something
to discuss with Eighth brother in person
If I write a letter
it may be opened by someone else
What's more
when exchanging letters
there may be miscommunications and thus waste the effort
I might as well come here in person
Is it that simple?
Even if I explain the details to you, you won't understand
So please don't ask anymore
I am also doing this for your own good
Hey, what are you up to?
Even if you don't allow me to tug, I will insist on tugging
You want to tug?
I refuse to let you tug
All right... Since you want to tug so badly, I will allow you
Good!
Let me think of a way to help you avoid unwanted attention
so that you can meet with Eighth prince
I just knew it!
You will definitely find a way
What are you laughing at?
I came up with a good idea
which will definitely not arouse suspicions
Just by looking at you
I can tell that it must be an absurd idea
Let me hear you out
Why don't you
disguise yourself as a lady
A lady?
This way, even if someone sees you together with Eighth prince,
they won't be suspicious
Moreover, who will even imagine that
the magnificient Fourteenth prince of the Qing dynasty
will ever disguise himself as a lady?
You dare to say such disrespectful things to me?
Today I must definitely discipline you
I'm in the wrong, I'm in the wrong
Fourteenth prince,
my hand hurts on contact
How did your hand get injured?
When I was horse riding, I accidentally pulled the reins too hard
Eighth brother must be hurting again
Then, please let me off
I originally thought that
after staying in the palace for such a long time
you will become dull
didn't expect that you will still remain the same
You, even if you have ten heads available for execution, it is not enough
Same goes for you
Actually,
a brother like you,
is the most valuable treasure that Eighth prince can have
However, Imperial Father scolds me
but he still love his sons
Fine, Liang'shan hero
You must be tired
Let me make you something to eat
After eating, take a rest here
Is it convenient for you?
Even if it is inconvenient, I have no choice
Isn't that right?
Ruoxi
Your servant, Bao'zhu, was sent here by Bei'le'ye
to give you the medicine
Please use warm water
to rinse before applying on your wound
Twice a day, in the morning and at night
After a few days, the clotted blood will be dissolved
I got it
I will take my leave now
Hey, please wait a moment
Yes
Fourteenth prince, is this man trustworthy?
Yes
If not, Eighth brother would not have sent him to give the medicine to you
Even though it's not a matter of great importance,
Eighth brother is always meticulous in everything concerning you
Even at this moment, you are still in the mood to crack jokes
Hold this!
Even though the servant is trustworthy,
but I defied the imperial edict when I came here,
the less people who know about it, the better
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to find you
What does Bei'le'ye usually do at night?
With regards to this, I can't be sure
Sometimes he reads sometimes he plays chess by himself
Please go back first Yes
Yes
Alright.
What do you plan to do?
Set up a way for you to meet 8th prince
As quickly as possible
Relax
Official Li
Here
Please read this
This suggests
Minister Zhang Donglai
changes to governor in Shangxi
Li Shanzhi deployed to Hunan as governor
Assistant minister of Ministry Personnel, Hu Chong
deployed as minister by book industry
minister of defence, Deng Tongwen
is in temporary employing as Vice-minister
be temporary substitute for Chengwho is to the funeral.
What kind of movement is this?
These people have relations with 8th brother
He obviously wants to use the chance that 8th brother isn't in the captial
to get rid of 8th brother's allies
So despicable
Exactly
Does 9th brother have a comment?
Of course
Suddenly
there is such a large movement of officials
this may not only influence goverment
And I believe
that someone is taking advantage of the fact Imperial Father is not in the capital
to get rid of threats
Using work to solve personal problems
9th brother,
who are you talking about?
As a man, say it frankly
Don't talk in circles
these changes are expressed by other minister
they represent the Emperor father´s order
I just dowhat I have to do
followed Emperor father´s wishes
is definitely not for personal benefit
that was Emperor father´s order!!
Imperial father isn´t here
I think that someone tries to make it to this own advantage.
If you have some suspicions
you can wait until Imperial father comes home
then you can ask him by yourself
I always consider myself fairly
I am loyal to Imperial father
if somebody accuse me of being fudge favoritism
Eradicate alien
then I am just eradicate those people
who are against Imperial father
and are self-serving corruptions
I will remind you guys
no matter you´re Wangyé, Beiér or Shichéng
the most hates by Imperial father is
that we patronaged
if Imperial father discovers it
would certainly be punish severely
you have to remember this
That's right, where has 14th Brother gone?
Why didn't he come?
14th Brother is sick.
It's like this.
14th Brother went hunting a few days ago.
He suddenly saw a fox
exploiting another's power. (Double Meaning: 1. an actual hunting story 2. an idiom meaning "the fox borrowing the awe of the tiger" which accuses 4th Prince of abusing his power
But...
he couldn't kill this kind of a fox.
He was angry and sulked himself into illness.
Then please pass on to 14th Brother
that we hope he rests well.
about those fox things
We won't let any one of them go.
13th Brother.
Where are you going?
4th Brother, I'm going to see 14th Brother.
I'm going explain clearly to him
that he needs to stop these shenanigans.
4th Brother.
You two are born from the same mother.
You're blood brothers.
If he continues to fight with you like this
then this brotherly affection will be destroyed.
You don't need to go.
This is a brotherly dispute.
You certainly can't go see him.
Why?
I'm afraid if you go to his estate and can't find him
you will only stir up trouble.
4th Brother, what do you mean?
This time 14th Brother has gone north of the Great Wall
to go see 8th Brother?
This is in violation of an Imperial Edict.
This is a crime punishable by death.
It's because of this
that you cannot go looking for him.
If you can't find him
this matter will spread.
It will hurt him.
I was too caught up. Why didn't I even think of this?
I just hope no one discovers this
and he can return safely.
4th Brother, don't worry.
14th is smart, nothing will happen.
It's getting late.
There are still people waiting for us.
Luwu greets 4th Prince and 13th Prince.
today we are here in private
don´t be so formal
Lüwu
today is first time my 4th brother is here

I would not exert myself

13th brother your good friend hereis really both beautiful and wise

to let you try
the green tea smells good
Miss Lüwu has a good Teaarts
I have learned it from one good friend of 13th Prince

Ruoxi
Miss Ruoxi is honest and direct
Being a friend of hers
is my honor
Ruoxi could make friends with everyone
except me

4th brother is special from the others
Miss Lüwu there is a Mr. Qiao want to visit you

Nian Genyao
Greeting master and 13th Prince
don´t be so formalrise
Nian Genyao
it's been a long time since the last time we met each otheryou become thinner.
Is that because of your working for 4th Prince?
To work for master
is my honor,
it isn´t hard work.
Everything you have done I will remember
I wouldn't treat you badly
if I have a chance
I will let you become the governor of SiChuan
Genyao doesn´t dare to hope it
before I was working for 8th Prince
become victimzed by the enemy
I become banished by 8th Prince
fortunately , master helped me
and saved me from death
master is my savior
the reborn parents
just I can work for master
Genyao is very grateful
wants no primary
Nian Genyaoif 4th brother
makes you become the governor of Sichuan
you still have to work for us
to be our eyes and ears
this is not a primary
this is a hard work
the hard work is for Genyao
also a happy thing
all right stop joking
Genyao these days
do you discover anything contacts between my 8th brother and those misters
actually I found some information
How many lifetime's worth of food fortune have you built up
to have 8th Brother send medicine
and have this 14th Prince help you apply it?
I'm truly thankful to 14th Prince.
But... 14th Prince's food,
was that not prepared for you by Ruoxi?
And I even delivered news for you under great danger to myself.
you can really praise yourself
It's done.
It's about time.
You should go now.
Do you remember the place?
Here, here, here. Everyone have a drink!
It's too cold, pour it full.
Fine.
Warm your body.
Drink. Good. Come, drink.
Finished. Drink, drink, drink!
Come, this is yours. Fine.
Lady Ruoxi.
Master, Lady Ruoxi has come.
Leave.
Yes.
Are you on duty tomorrow?
8th Prince, is it safe to talk here?
I knew you were coming tonight.
There are people on guard outside.
14th Prince has come.
Did he say why he came?
I've arranged a meeting spot.
It's in the forest to the west.
You should return first. I will go see him.
Please be careful.
It'll be fine. Go back without worrying.
You're worried for me.
That makes me very happy.
tonight is your turn to vigil
don´t be lazy
yes yes
come you guys get there over
yes
you take over there
yes
You follow 8th Prince and see what's going on.
I'll return to report this.
Yes.
8th Brother.
It's me, 14th Brother.
14th Brother.
You know that coming out againt imperial edict is dangerous.
If the Emperor or Crown Prince finds out
they won't let off easily.
I don't care about any of that.
Eighth Brother
There's something I need to tell you
What happened at court?
recently 4th brother
continued using Emperor father´s order
to move all misters who have contacts with
they are deployed fare away either
or orders them to do minor things
he has deliberately reducing our strength
therefore , I risk my life to come here
I want to talk to you about a countermeasure
otherwise when you come back to the Capital Jing
your strength is probably lost
calm down
tell me the details of events
that day 4th brother call all of us to a meeting
tell us that Imperial father wants to move some minister posts
the list is made by 4th brother
and send it to Imperial father
Master.
Reporting to Master:
we have discovered
8th Bei'le Prince
is secretly meeting with a Mongol.
Upon further investigation
this person appears to be
14th Prince.
14th Prince?
Are you sure it's Fourteenth Prince?Yes
Very good!
Father had decreed
that 8th Prince is not to have communication with the Court.
But now
14th Prince actually came here against imperial decree.
And 8th Prince is secretly meeting with him.
This is too good.
It seems the opportunity for revenge has come.
Master.
Should we report this to the Emperor?
There's no need.
I'll do it myself.
Tell me
If thieves infiltrate the camp
and I shoot them with arrows
it would only be natural, yes?
I must make use of this opportunity
to get rid 8th and 14th Brothers
Send out my order
Everyone is to get prepared
I want to go hunt some thieves
Yes
Nothing will happen
8th Prince is intelligent
he will be fine
Greetings, Ge`ge.
This is Miss Ruoxi's tent
Good. You're dismissed.
Ruoxi. I'm here to see you.
Greetings, Ge`ge.
Get up.
How are your hands?
thanks for you care
I was just a bit scared before
It's already fine.
Ruoxi
I have something I've been suppressing in my heart.
I want to talk to you.
Give me some advice?
What is it that bothers Princess?
It's a long story.
Will you come for a walk with me?
Let's go.
That works.
Let's go
I suddenly visit you at the nightyou wouldn´t blame for abrupt right
Ge´ge is directly and honestly
why are suddenly so formal with me
Because only now do I know
that you're a favourite of the Emperor.
What favourite?
I just try my best to serve His Majesty.
Why didn't the 13th Prince
Come along this time?
Whether or not he comes is not up to him
It's up to the Emperor to decide.
But... these days
13th Prince has been well.
I guess so.
13th Prince's wife...
is she beautiful?
In my eyes... she isn't as beautiful as Ge Ge.
Really?
You don't think I'm crude & have no etiquette?
I know just by taking a look at you
When you talk you're neither fast nor slow and without needless inflexions.
Your every actions is refined and delicate
Whether or not I'm refined and delicate
I don't know
But I can tell Ge`ge
that you are indeed a beauty.
Actually,
does Ge`ge like the 13th Prince?
Is it that obvious?
It is quite obvious
That's right, I do like him.
I have never heard such a beautiful voice.
He stood there, watching me sing
My heart has never beat so fast before
and I've never seen a man smile that way before.
It seemed like he was smiling
but then again it seemed like he wasn't.
He seemed totally carefree
but also like a ring of fire!
You can feel his heat
I've never seen a man like that!
13th Prince is something that evokes such liking.
But my father won't let me marry hm.
Why?
I'll tell you but don't tell anyone else.
My father says that the women of the Imperial household
are very rarely happy.
He said that I'm a flower of the grasslands.
I can only grow and bloom on the grassland.
I originally didn't want to believe my father's words
but looking at your face now...
This is really true?
Sometimes we can't help ourselves.
Then, liking someone is nothing something we can help?
That way.
8th Brother.
You have to think of a way to return quickly to the capital.
Otherwise if you let 4th brother control everything, it'll be too late.
But that's exactly the Emperor's intention:
must think a other plan
Careful!
Release!
Yes!
Get out of the way!
They're over there! Catch them!
Yes.
Is it the Emperor's men?
It's probably the Crown Prince's men.
Let's go.
Where are they?
They were just here.
Go other there to search.
Ruoxi
do you have someone you like?
What happened?
Were they discovered?
Yes.
Quickly.
These people
must be caught.
Yes.
Wait, what happened? Ge Ge
Get up and speak.
The Crown Prince says there are thieves.
He's brought people to search everywhere.
Thieves? What do they look like?
I don't know what they look like.
The Crown Prince says a theive has already been shot by him.
They must be close.
Fine, you may leave now.
Yes.
Take this.
Ge Ge, where can someone be hidden around him?
Be hidden? Why?
Ge Ge please first tell me.
Fine. Come with me.
General.
there was to suspicious person
who surely have run in this direction
Crown prince you have already searched here once
I am sure that there are not
if we don't keep searching now
they could be escaped
fine since Crown prince says in this way
just search it one more time
good
you two stay here
the rest of you get inside with me
yes
There's no one here. Let's look there. Let's go.
Quicky, follow.
Let's look over there. Yes, yes.
Ruoxi
14th Prince.
14th Prince, are you injured?
I'm fine.
What about 8th Prince?
We separated.
8th Brother took an arrow for me.
Ruoxi, don't worry
It's only injured on the arm.
It's not life threatening.
Ruoxi.
It's Min Min Ge Ge.
14th Prince, have you ever met Min Min?
Ruoxi.
Don't worry.
She will definitely help.
Min Min Ge Ge. Min Min Ge Ge.
Ge Ge.
Why are you...
Who is he?
I beg Ge Ge to save this servant.
What's wrong? Quickly tell me.
If I can do it, I will definitely help.
I told you not to come here but you had to come here!
Now look at this mess.
You've been mistaken for a thieve by the Crown Prince.
How can we explain this?
If we explain this
then everyone will know our secret.
You should know
palace maids can't meet privately or secretly with people.
We're both dead.
But if we don't explain
you will still die.
Then I...
Then how will I live?
He's your loved one?
Normally we can't see each other at the palace.
We thought here north of the Great Wall we might have an opportunity.
We didn't think
he'd be mistaken for a thieve by the Crown Prince.
He came under danger of his life to see you
you can't blame him.
Don't worry.
Leave this to me.
I will definitely make sure he's safe.
Min Min Ge Ge
if there's a chance
Ruoxi will definitely repay you.
Don't worry about it.
Ruoxi, you don't need to worry.
Thank you Min Min Ge Ge.
Fine, come quickly with me.
Min Min Ge Ge, I'm sorry.
In order to see Ruoxi,
you caused such a big commotion.
Aren't you afraid?
I'm not.
For Ruoxi, how could I be afraid of anything?
Then to see each other at the palace,
is it really that difficult?
Very difficult. Palace etiquette is strict.
It's not like your great grasslands where you do as you please.
Then for Ruoxi
you must have endured many difficulties.
Difficulties, yes.
But for Ruoxi
it was all worth it.
Ge Ge, I should go back now.
If I stay any longer
I'm afraid I'll draw attention.
Alright, you shouldn't stop worrying.
Tomorrow I will definitley return a safe lover to you.
Thank you Ge Ge.
No need for thanks.
look over there
hurry up nothing there
nothing there too
has it been searched?
look over there yes
14th Prince should be safe tonight.
I should go find 8th Prince.
Reporting to the Crown Prince, we haven't found anyone.
How can this be?
Continue to search.
Yes.
Mang thanks Ge Ge.
No need, please sit.
Can I sit here?
Where does all ths etiquette come from?
Sit here.
Quickly, tell me
how did you two meet?
Back then
we met at Bei'le Ye's estate.
I had to go to Bei'le Ye's estate to take care of some court matters.
It was there I met her.
Back then she hadn't entered the palace.
She had an impudent mouth.
All her thoughts and actions were rebellious and unorthodox.
I can't see that!
But this is possible!
Crown Prince, we haven't found anyone.
I also haven't found anyone.
damn it
How do you guys work?
How can you not find them?
Crown Prince
perhaps you saw incorrectly?
If we continue searching like this
I'm afaid we're waken Wang Ye.
who should take the responsibility
it wouldn´t be CrownPrince right?
General
I am only thinking of all our safety.
Alright.
Since we can't find anyone
then we won't be a bother anymore.
Crown Prince, if you please.
Let's go.
Miss Ruoxi
Bei´le ye is attempting to clean himself
He's unable to receive guests.
Lady Ruoxi, please.
Come in.
Come here.
Master,
I need to reapply you medicine.
Master.
What kind of crappy medicine is this?
Why hasn't it helped heal anything?
This is the best medicine.
9th Prince spent a great sum of gold
to buy this from Yunan.
This time, we specially brought it here just in case.
Even if there's better medicine, it still needs time.
You specially brought it just in case...
what kind of preparations have you made?
You've seen 14th Brother?
Master, the medicine has been reapplied.
I will leave now.
Does it hurt?
You don't need to worry about 14th Prince.
He's escaped.
Since you're fine, I'll leave now.
If you continue using force
my wound will reopen.
It seems like I'm dreaming.
Sit.
I've always thought, we...
How do you know I've seen 14th Prince?
Aren't you worried about him?
You saw my injury
but weren't surprised.
It's clear you already knew about it.
It can only be 14th Brother who told you.
As for worry,
there aren't only the Crown Prince's men here.
His people can search
but our people can't hide?
No one has come to report anything.
That means everything has died down.
Also,
since you've seen 14th Brother
and you color is fine
that implies he's already safely hidden.
Nothing escapes 8th Prince.
You're also very thoughtful, everything has been considered.
Not completely.
That's right, how were you discovered by the Crown Prince?
When I left, I was very careful.
It could be the Crown Prince
was afraid I'd communicate with the capital.
So he sent more people
to watch me.
What's happened lately?
What does he need to do this?
The Emperor has forbidden me contact with the capital.
The Crown Prince has made these preprations
either 1) to catch me
in a severe crime
2) it's the Emperor
who is about to make a big move
which according to 14th Brother's words
will disadvantage us.
The Crown Prince doesn't want me
to have any warning.
So when I return to the capital in September
everythng is set and unchangeable.
If the Emperor has already made his decision
what can you guys do?
These things are long and complicated to explain.
But basically
even if you´re the Emperor
you can´t do what you want
If you really want to know
I can slowly explain everything to you.
Where is 14th Brother hidden?
Guess.
Since you want me to guess,
it must be a person I wouldn't guess.
Min Min Ge Ge?
Yes.
It's really her?
How did you connvince her?
This isn't a small matter.
I won't tell you.
How can the Crown Prince be so daring?
He actually used arrows to shoot at you guys.
Using arrows against theives is normal.
He's using this opportunity to be rid of us.
Isn't that best for him?
This is only the beginning.
When 4th Prince enters the fray
that will be real suffering.
I don't like how you were just now.
It makes me feel
like you're so far away.
What is your heart hiding?
You're scared?
Don't worry, you'll always have me.
I won't let any harm come to you.
inform every guards doesn´t have to examine anymore
yes
go back to your own works
yes
from now on
I don´t have to follow you anymore right?
fine
thanks
see you
go
Did you guys see clearly
that after 14th Prince was injured
he really came th the Mongol's camp?
Master, I can't say for sure
that it was 14th Prince.
But they definitely escaped here.
Since you saw it
then he must be here.
Master.
They've already searched once for us.
If we search again, isn't that too offensive?
This is a hard to come by
opportunity.
We can't let it go.
Master, we can't do this.
If they discover
they will certainly report this to the Emperor.
By the Emperor is me.
What are you afraid of?
Yes.
We've searched just about everywhere.
Min Min's tent was the ony one we didn't enter.
But Ge Ge has ordered
that no one is to enter.
If she doesn't have something to hide
then why won't she let us in.
14th Prince is hiding in her tent.
you get over there
keep looking tonight
Yes.
Don't worry anymore.
I have promised Ruoxi to protect you.
Nothing's going t happend.
Ge´ge if the crown prince can´t find someone
he wouldn´t never give up
This is the Mongol's campsite
Would he dare mess around?
just go and rest yourself
I will protect you
get out and keep a eye around (to servants)
someone is coming
you have to hide there do not come out
I kill youkill you
stop it´s Gege´s marequee
how dare you try to enter
get away! the crown prince is inside
foolishthe crown prince is just gone
how can he be inside of the marequee
If you insist of coming in,
I won't hold back on you.
You!
Can't you hear the fighting in there?
Ge Ge has ordered
that no matter what happens
no one is to enter.
Don't hit anymore! Don't hit anymore!
get out
Crown Prince!
You're the Crown Prince?
Too bold!
You dare raise you hands to the Crown Prince?
It was completely dark inside.
I thought it was th thief Crown Prince was talking about.
Who knew it'd be the Crown Prince searching for culprits?
The searched has expanded to my tent?
I was only worried about Ge Ge's safety.
Then thank you.
If there's nothing else, I'll go back now.
Stand aside.
Come back.
Let's go.
Gege´s plan is brilliant
the Crown prince has nothing to say after being beaten by you
he come here without the permissionI´ll not let him go so easilly
you have not only good plans
I have changed the perception of you
I'm a girl of the grasslands. I'm not easy to take advantage of.
I've promised Ruoxi to keep you safe.

Master, our people have reported
the Crown Prince gone to Mongol lands
and swept thorough three times.
The fourth time he caused a ruckus inside a tent.
There was no result.
now he is preparing to look over here
he is offering all
He isn´t afraid to anger Royal Father.
But he came at a good time.
I need him as a witness.
8th Prince is going to see the Crown Prince?
How can you hide your injury?
Even if you can hid it tonight,
what about tomorrow or the day after that.
if you begin to ride
the blood would come out of the wound
if the crown prince finds out
he will certainly tell the Emperorand make a big problem out of it
Ruoxibelieve in me and don't worry,

Remeber, it has to be boiling hot.
