[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 21]
Step outside first.
I'll bid farewell to Prince Zhan.
Yes.
Your Highness.
You don't seem to be bringing much with you?
I have everything I need in Muyuan Hospital.
I've only brought my personal belongings with me.
Could you take me away with you?
This is for Your Highness.
The silver taels are to pay Your Highness back for Muyuan Hospital.
As for the jade box, it was given to me by Sister Jin.
But it was never my intention to sell the hospital to you.
Your Highness has already done much for me.
I hope that you won't turn this down.
I can accept the silver taels but as for the jade box...
Sister Jin said that it is meant for your legal princess consort.
Sister Jin's intention--
If it were my intention as well?
I have already made it clear.
Neither do I wish to be the flower who lets the leaf down
nor the leaf that protects the flower.
What is it that you wish for?
All I want is...
The life that I wish for.
It's just because of that?
Even though it could be difficult.
I now take my leave.
Qing Chen...
I know that Ling is the only one on your mind.
But now...
You're the only one on my mind.
Your Highness.
Your Highness, I've only wanted to--
She already left.
Your Highness, I meant well--
You don't have to do this for me!
I can handle my own personal matters.
You can leave the room now.
Your Highness...
I only wanted to... I just wish to be of some help to you.
I hope that You Highness could keep a smile on your face every day.
Jin Hui, even till this moment
you're still clueless about what you've done wrong?
Forget it.
You're not to be blamed for this matter.
However, from this day forth in this manor
you are to mind your own business.
Nothing else concerns you.
Ultimately, I am still the Grand Sorceress of The Mages.
I could never be married into the imperial family.
If I'm given another chance...
I would never let you fall in love with me.
Nor will I allow myself to ruin your reign.
I wonder when the day I can return you to your reign will come.
If I could confess my love for him
in front of everyone just like Duo Xia did...
Perhaps... That could never come true.
All that I have planned ahead would only push him further away from me.
I've never regretted having to do so.
But... Why would it pain me so?
This seems to be item from the palace?
Who is this person?
Why would he have spiritual powers?
That dreadful lass...
Who knew that she's so powerful now that she has her powers back?
If it weren't that the sacred pebble is on me
wouldn't she already have me severely wounded?
Dual stars have appeared.
Now that the stars are even more obvious to the eye...
All of these only happened after she has shown up.
She must be related to this.
Are you a rabbit?
Why don't you make any sound at all?
Prince Li is acting so strangely.
I've been here all this time and haven't been away.
You just didn't notice me.
However, Prince Li, what are you doing out here so late?
I... I...
I'm here... to read.
Is that not allowed?
Read?
Which book do you want to read?
I'll bring it to you.
"Shi’s Study on Constellations."
Your Highness, take your time.
I'll retire for the night.
Hold on.
There are some parts of this book that I can't understand.
Aren't you Master Mo's first disciple?
Why don't you stay to explain the contents to me?
Why are you sitting so far away from me?
This is the right distance for having a long talk all night.
Are you feeling too warm?
I'll wipe off your sweat--
I... I can do it myself.
You seem to be...
Very scared of me?
Why would I be scared of Your Highness?
When the stars dim...
It’s the eclipse of the moon.
When the sun is closer...
The day is brighter.
You do know why I am here to see you today.
I understand that Your Highness must have many questions for me.
Not only do you know me well...
But also everyone else.
You made my ninth brother mistake you for Xian Wu at that banquet
and had the Fengs suspect that you're their missing daughter.
You've planned every step to get into the Feng family.
Not only did you make use of Zhan but also Ming.
Your Highness could suspect me so.
However, could Your Highness explain this tattoo on my wrist?
Or could Your Highness tell me who my parents are?
Or where I came from?
If Your Highness couldn't answer me
please do not hinder me from reuniting with my family.
I might not know who you truly are, but you are a sorceress.
That is an absolute fact.
How could the second young mistress of the Feng family be one of The Mages?
The Mages wish to seek revenge.
You would need to make use of the Feng family to get close to my father.
By then, wouldn't it be easier for you to lay your hands on him?
If Your Highness regards me as such a person
I'm not bothered to explain any further.
Since the very beginning, you had intended to make use of everyone.
But I have to remind you that my father is now wary of The Mages.
All that you do now would only bring about your own doom.
You won't be able to stop me.
As a newly homeless sorceress
all I seek is a place to settle down.
I would at least have to stay alive.
I have to keep my tribesmen alive as well.
What would you do if I exposed your identity as a sorceress?
If you do, let it be my life alone that is to be forfeited.
Please don't implicate The Mages into this.
The Mages will forever be grateful to Your Highness's kindness.
Tell me.
Why are you so eager to get into the Feng family?
Do you not understand, Your Highness?
An orphaned woman with an unknown upbringing
could never be married into Prince Zhan's manor.
But if I were the second young mistress of the Feng family
wouldn't it make me more compatible with Prince Zhan?
Everything that you're doing is because of Zhan?
Prince Zhan is now in charge of Yin family.
If I don't have a privileged identity
Yin family would never consent to having me as his princess consort.
Understood.
You're on your own now.
Don't ever treat me kindly again.
If you do, I won't be able to keep my distance.
Your destiny...
It could then never be changed.
This is all you've found out?
There's indeed something strange about this person, Qing Chen.
I've been discreetly investigating her during this period of time.
I was afraid to alert her so I've been very careful.
However, there is just very little that is known of her.
If she truly is the daughter I lost years ago
I will have her protected of course.
If she isn't...
I need to find out what exactly she is up to.
A mere young woman...
She is actually capable of getting both Prince Ling and Prince Zhan
head over heels in love with her.
She is quite capable indeed.
Be it that she's my real daughter or not
I will put on the performance of an aggrieved father
reuniting with his long-lost daughter until the very end.
I heard that at Prince Zhan's banquet
Prince Ling had you mistaken as Feng Xiao Wu.
It seems that your plan is going very well.
I have to thank Elder Mo for your assistance.
If all goes well, I should be able to enter Feng Manor soon.
the Feng family might know of the secret behind the empress's death.
Those missing women were once imprisoned in the same place with my mentor.
Perhaps this clue will eventually lead us to my mentor.
However, you're impersonating as an imperial official's daughter
this is too risky for you.
Minister Feng might seem to be a forgiving and broadminded man
but since he became the prime minister
he's resorted to extreme means in taking out his opponents.
Once your true identity is exposed
I'm afraid that you'll be in a very precarious situation.
We haven't made much progress in the investigation of dark sorcery.
I have no other choice but to carry out further investigation.
The tattoo created by the golden butterfly will last forever.
You could never remove it.
Elder Tao Yao, don't worry.
This doesn't matter much to me.
These days, I've picked out a few highly capable disciples.
Why don't you bring them with you to Muyuan Hospital?
They could protect you as well as assist you in the investigation.
Thank you, Elder Tao Yao.
If so, I would be even more confident.
I have another favor to ask of Mister Mo.
Could you find out who this jade pendant belongs to?
That is Prince Li's personal item.
Why would you have it?
Prince Li?
Someone had come to investigate Muyuan Hospital last night.
When we were in a fight, I tore it off from him.
He wields spiritual powers.
How could he be Prince Li?
This jade pendant does indeed belong to Prince Li.
I see this on him every day.
There shouldn't be any mistake.
Could you try to find out what his intentions are?
Yes, I'll try.
Prince Li is very peculiar in his actions.
Could there be some secret behind it?
We can't afford to make any mistakes.
Be sure to figure out his true intentions.
Yes, I'll think of some ways to do so.
Now that the Meandering Skies is destroyed
I wonder where Elder Tao Yao is now.
Since I'm a sorceress, where else could I go?
I'd definitely still reside in the Meandering Skies.
The Meandering Skies is demolished.
How could you still stay there?
How could a sacred place like the Meandering Skies be so easily destroyed?
You'll understand once you come and take a look with me.
"Theory of Message" was written by Huan Yi of the previous reign.
It mentions the tune of the zither in its contents.
You've always been very well-learned in music.
At one glance, you could tell what this book means to say.
I intend to give these books to a person.
You know so well what Qing Chen is fond of.
I believe that Qing Chen will like this gift.
Sometimes, it doesn't take one to play in harmony to understand a person.
You're right, Ling.
However, if you couldn't understand what Qing Chen conveys in her music
you might as well study this book thoroughly.
How would you know that I don't understand her?
I never judge anything or anyone just by its appearance.
This is how I behave.
Do you know of her other identity?
If she heads into Feng Manor alone
I'm worried that she will get herself killed.
Ling...
You're worried about Qing Chen's identity?
She insisted on carrying out her plan.
I never have interacted much with Minister Feng.
However, should she venture into Feng Manor alone
I'm afraid that she would be in danger.
It matters not.
I will protect Qing Chen.
I will also hand this book to Qing Chen.
Don't bother.
I will do so myself.
The Meandering Skies is already in this state.
How could you still live here?
It seems that my senior has yet to tell you of our great secret.
Come with me.
Your mentor and I made painstaking efforts to build this place.
This is also the last sacred ground of the Meandering Skies.
My mentor and Elder Tao Yao had already taken precautions.
Serving the king is as good as serving a tiger.
Your mentor and I knew that this day would come.
That was why we built this place.
The most important task at hand is for me to get into the palace
and find out the truth about the imperial family.
Only then can I clear The Mages of treason and restore the Meandering Skies.
Nirvana of the phoenix, born of the flames.
If it wasn't for the reaction between these two sacred pebbles
I wouldn't have confirmed the appearance of the Grand Sorceress so soon.
However, now that all nine sacred pebbles are scattered
I wonder when all of them can be retrieved.
Elder Tao Yao, don't the nine sacred pebbles react to one another's existence?
It isn't exactly so.
Among the nine sacred pebbles
only the Cotton Rose Pebble and the Lunar Corona Pebble react to each other
because they are in solidarity.
The other sacred pebbles might share a bond
but they can't react to one another.
I see...
The sacred pebbles are of great importance.
We must retrieve them soon.
Elder Tao Yao, do you have any information on the other pebbles?
All this time, we've been trying to locate the nine sacred pebbles.
However, we have made no discoveries.
I'm worried that they are in the hands of the imperial family members.
Once I could get into the palace, I'll try to search for them.
Elder Tao Yao, I'd like to read more about the reigning emperor
so I could take precautions.
Come with me.
All records on the reigning emperor and his predecessor are here.
You can take your time to go through them.
Thank you, Elder.
Che, make the arrangements.
Stop Qing Chen from making it into the Feng family.
Why would you say so?
Did you not witness it that night?
When Ming saw how much Qing Chen resembles Xian Wu
he nearly lost his senses.
Qing Chen...
Could she really be the daughter of the Feng family?
Others might not know whether she is or not but how could you not know?
The best would be to stop Minister Feng from identifying her.
Once Qing Chen enters Feng Manor
she will still be in great peril even if Zhan could help her.
Bear this in mind.
Minister Feng isn't someone who would be easily deceived.
I understand what you mean.
I will head over to Feng Manor personally.
the Feng family has sent someone over to look into your parentage.
Once you're identified as Minister Feng's daughter
you could then get into Feng Manor.
Have you thought this through?
If I really am Minister Feng's daughter, that's one unshakable fact.
All these years, I've always wanted to find my family.
Have you wondered why Ling would try to stop you
from reuniting with your family?
Prince Ling believes that I have an ulterior motive
because I found out that the missing women were related to the Feng family
when investigating the case of Celestial Dance House.
There are some questions left unanswered.
the Feng family does also conceal quite a few secrets unknown to anyone.
If I truly am of the Feng family, I must all the more find out about it
so that my family would not become a stain on my reputation.
Why bother getting to the bottom of some matters
if they aren't of much importance?
the Feng family might be my final home.
However, I do not wish to live my life unknown to the truth.
All right, I'll respect your wishes.
I shall report this matter to my father.
I have already explained this matter to Your Highness.
I hope that you could find a way to hold Prince Ling back.
Understood.
Elder Tao Yao.
Is everything ready?
As instructed, we are all prepared.
They are all highly capable disciples that I've picked out personally.
They are to go with you to Muyuan Hospital to assist Qing Chen.
Be sure to abide by her orders.
You must find out the truth behind the empress's death.
Yes, Elder.
Hao!
You asked me out to talk about the marital bond?
You're so straightforward.
You're so blunt that as your eldest bother
I don't know how to urge you on it.
Just get to the point, Hao.
Princess Duo Xia's proposal concerns the alliance between our nations.
I wonder what you think about it?
Hao, you need not worry.
I have already spoken to Duo Xia.
I do admire her but she isn't the woman of my affection.
She is clever so she should know what I meant.
You've already told Princess Duo Xia of your decision?
That's strange?
I had wanted to stall a day or two so you could think it over.
However, Zhan just approached me
to say that Princess Duo Xia is asking after your decision
and told me to ask you for a confirmed answer.
Hao, I already made it very clear to her.
However, it is entirely up to her in terms of the outcome.
I suddenly recall that I have a matter to handle.
Allow me to take my leave now.
Ling!
Why would Zhan purposely ask after this matter?
He even made Hao stall me?
I wonder if Che has made it to Feng Manor?
Minister Feng isn't in the manor?
Indeed, Your Highness.
Your Highness, it's most unfortunate.
You came late.
The minister has been invited to Prince Zhan's manor.
Do you know what it is for?
It seems to be related to our long-lost second young mistress.
Greetings, Prince Zhan.
Do rise, Minister Feng.
Thank you, Your Highness.
This is...
This is Miss Qing Chen whom I've mentioned to you.
Greetings, Minister Feng.
Do rise.
I believe that Luan Fei must have mentioned to you
about the identical butterfly tattoo on Qing Chen's wrist.
I wonder if that is what you have been looking for?
I did mention it to my father that day after the banquet.
He had wanted to take a look at it.
Thank you for arranging this meeting.
Luan Fei did mention it to me.
But I wonder what the tattoo on Miss Qing Chen's wrist looks like?
Could I take a look at it?
I've had this butterfly tattoo on my wrist since I was a child.
I wonder how this is related to the Feng family?
The gods have taken pity on me!
My child! I have finally found you!
Look! This unique butterfly tattoo is only
marked on daughters of the Feng family!
Apart from Xian Wu and Luan Fei
the only other person who would be marked with it
must be my long-lost second daughter!
Your Highness, this tattoo is one of a kind.
No one could possibly fake it.
This is...
Could it be true?
My silly child!
This is definitely true!
With this tattoo, I can verify that you're Feng Yan's second daughter!
All these years, you've been wandering so far away from home.
You must have suffered much hardship!
I...
I am really sorry!
Prince Zhan.
I'm deeply grateful to Your Highness for your assistance!
I'll forever be indebted to you!
It's such a joy to see Minister Feng reunite with your daughter today.
I'll surely report this to my father soon to have Qing Chen's identity restored.
She could then return to her own family.
This is great!
I'll come and bring my sister back to our manor tomorrow.
My sister.
You've been out wandering without a home.
Now that you've finally found your family
you have someone to rely on in Heavenly Capital.
Since I was a child, I've been roaming the lands.
I'm already used to the freedom.
Now that I'm returning to Feng Manor
I probably can't be as carefree as I was if I'm bound by Feng Manor's regulations.
Be it the imperial family or the Feng family
neither could live like the commoners.
We would all be bound by our responsibilities.
Your Highness grew up in the palace.
You must have yearned even more for freedom?
You got that wrong.
I don't yearn for such freedom.
One man without any power and influence doesn't actually have freedom.
He is in fact restrained in every way.
Although a person of status would have some restraints in life
he is actually at an advantage to pursue his ambitions leisurely.
He would also be more capable of protecting the one he loves.
Your Highness's words have cleared me of some doubts.
Instead of wine, I toast to Your Highness with this tea.
Sure.
Thank you for your help, Your Highness.
Why would you stall Prince Ling with the issue of the marital bond?
If not, how could I fulfill the favor you asked of me?
Moreover, it would only do good rather than harm in terms of this matter.
I'm quite happy to see it go well.
If the marital bond is tied successfully
Great Wei and A-Chai Tribe could then ensure perpetual alliance by marriage
and fight against Liang State together.
In terms of general interests, it is as what you have said.
What of a more personal level?
A more personal level?
That is Your Highness will then have one competitor fewer.
Have some tea.
Ling, by the time I got to Feng Manor
Minister Feng was already invited to Zhan's manor.
Now that Minister Feng has gone to the palace
to report this matter to Father
he asks that Qing Chen be restored to her identity.
Qing Chen really did team up with Zhan to get into the Feng family.
We're one step behind them this time.
What is done can't be undone.
Ling, what do you plan to do next?
Since it can't be undone
we could only go along with it.
Ling, you're aware of the real reason she has for joining the Feng family?
Whatever her reason might be
since she has now joined the Feng family
we might as well let her investigate the case of Celestial Dance House thoroughly.
Moreover, she had Ming mistake her as Xian Wu.
This means that she has doubts about Xian Wu's cause of death.
This matter concerns the imperial family.
It's better for us to further investigate into this.
Since you've thought it through, we'd just play it by ear.
[Muyuan Hospital]
Qing Chen!
Luan Fei?
Please wait a moment.
What brings you here?
Father has made all the arrangements.
His Majesty asked to see you personally.
Minister Feng does indeed wield great authority.
The emperor would even ask after his personal affairs?
Qing Chen, Zhiyuan Hall is just right ahead.
His Majesty usually holds the imperial court and handles state affairs there.
It's because it's closer to the Inner Court and makes it more convenient.
Zhiyuan Hall?
The last time I came here, it was with him.
If back then, Yuan An hadn't set up Yuan Ling for patricide
to fulfill Prince Zhan's wishes
how could he have any just cause for his rebellion?
Now that I've finally entered the center of great authority again
I won't allow history to repeat itself.
- Qing Chen greets Your Majesty. - Luan Fei greets Your Majesty.
You're Feng Yan's daughter?
Lift your head up and let me have a look.
You do somewhat resemble Luan Fei.
I heard that you assisted Zhan
in solving the case of Celestial Dance House.
Every daughter of the Feng family is indeed intelligent.
Your Majesty.
I only happened to see through the dark sorcerer's evil scheme by chance.
I wouldn't dare take any credit for it.
It's all because Your Majesty is wise and had taken precautions.
Those women who were rescued are deeply grateful to Your Majesty.
Were you the one who suggested to Zhan
to convert the dance house into a hospital?
Your Majesty is wise. Nothing could get past you.
There are many hospitals in Heavenly Capital.
As a woman, it matters not if there is one more or one fewer hospital.
What makes your hospital stand out from others?
The other hospitals heals one's body.
But mine heals one's mind all the more.
How do you heal one's mind?
I teach people to read and write.
I offer them advice for their troubles.
But that isn't what hospitals are for.
I've heard of, "The saints offer enlightenment"
"and promote good virtues, then the world shall prosper."
Great Wei hasn't been established for long.
Your Majesty governs the state with benevolence.
The people from all directions shall then pledge their allegiance.
All shall flourish and prosper.
When I was at the border
I witnessed how commoners were frightened of ordinary illnesses
due to illiteracy.
Even if their physical illnesses weren't severe
their mental condition deteriorated so much that they died of the illnesses.
Hence, I thought that should I be able to teach them to read and write
in addition to treating their illnesses
it would then rid them of fear that stemmed from the lack of knowledge.
If so, it could also further promote studies and make people civilized.
This is an act of Your Majesty's benevolence.
It also contributes to a long and peaceful reign.
It's due to Your Majesty's graciousness
that Celestial Dance House was kept intact.
It's a waste to leave it unused.
It's better to have it converted for a different purpose.
It would also allow the people to learn of Your Majesty's kindness.
It's indeed a great joy to have Feng Yan's long-lost daughter found.
Convey my decree.
Allow her to be restored to the ancestral record.
I have always rewarded and punished just as fairly.
You deserve to take the first-class merit
in solving the case of Celestial Dance House.
I'll bestow you the title of Princess Qingping as a reward.
How do you like that?
Qing Chen is grateful to Your Majesty.
My utmost gratitude to Your Majesty's graciousness!
All right, you may dismiss now.
When there's time, I'll summon you into the palace to have a talk.
Yes, Your Majesty.
The both of you, do rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Feng Yan, this daughter of yours is truly intelligent.
"Offer enlightenment, promote good virtues"
"and the world shall prosper."
This is what I had proposed in my younger days.
Who knew that I would hear it from a young lady today?
Your Majesty is wise.
If I were to win His Majesty over, I must cater to his preferences.
Only then could I gradually win his trust.
Then I could plan ahead for Yuan Ling.
Qing Chen, you're still here?
His Majesty has agreed to let you return home.
You should move back to our manor in a day or two?
Then our family can get together.
Father is right.
However...
His Majesty had asked me about Muyuan Hospital.
I'm a bit concerned.
I should head back there to make some arrangements
before returning home to keep Father company.
State and family affairs must be prioritized accordingly.
It's admirable of you to think so.
I will have the servants tidy up the manor properly these days.
If you still need anything else, feel free to tell Luan Fei.
Get her to buy them for you.
Thank you for your concern, Father.
Qing Chen, I could tell that His Majesty is quite fond of you.
Although you'll move back to our manor, you can still manage Muyuan Hospital.
I won't interfere with it.
I shall Father's instructions.
I am still quite inexperienced.
In the future, I'd need Father to offer me much guidance along the way.
You are already doing very well!
Moreover, how could the daughters of the Feng family be inferior to others?
From now on, you just need more training.
Don't worry.
Yes.
I surely won't let Father down.
I've heard that if you keep someone in mind
that person will appear.
It is indeed true.
Your Highness must be here to ask me for an explanation.
Am I right?
The disciple of the Meandering Skies, the daughter of the Feng family...
And now, Princess Qingping.
His Majesty has just made that decree.
You already learned of it?
Father bestowed the title to you personally.
He must be very find of you.
You will surely have many chances to stay by his side.
Your Highness isn't worried that I might harm His Majesty?
Should The Mages assassinate my father
the Meandering Skies shall never be restored to glory.
You have always wanted to clear The Mages of treason.
You might put your own life at risk
but you would never put the Meandering Skies in peril.
Your Highness does know me very well.
I have wanted to figure out one matter.
What is it that could have made you so fearless of death?
Your Highness needs only to know that
should one truly wishes to do something for someone
why would life and death matter?
I want you to understand...
Should I wish to figure someone or some matter out...
no one could stop me from doing so.
Feng Qing Chen.
Your Highness, do you believe that Miss Qing Chen
truly is the second young mistress of the Feng family?
So what if she is?
So what if she isn't?
My father has already bestowed Qing Chen
with the title of Princess Qingping.
That's good enough.
Your Highness, what is your next step?
Ling might be confused but I'm not.
She has always only had Ling on her mind.
However, Ling now doubts her.
Doesn't Your Highness doubt her?
I've never liked to be the same as anyone else.
Ling doubts her so I will purposely assist her.
I'd like to see who will win this round, Ling or me?
Do you remember Qing Chen who infiltrated Celestial Dance House?
She is the second young mistress of the Feng family.
Xian Wu's younger sister.
Who knew that the one we have spent
so much effort searching for is actually her?
However, she is one of The Mages.
How could she be Xian Wu's sister?
Qing Chen does have quite a few tricks up her sleeves.
Celestial Dance House was shut down because of her.
Yet now, she's joined the Feng family.
Why would that matter?
In my eyes, she's not Xian Qu's sister.
She's a replacement for Xian Wu.
If possible, I'd like to keep her by my side.
What if she tries to hurt you?
Then I will kill her myself!
There's news from the palace.
She is said to be the second young mistress of the Feng family.
Could it be that there's more to her parentage than we knew?
Prince Ming didn't mistake her as his wife because he was too drunk.
I have also met her twice.
She is indeed unlike any ordinary commoner.
I just never expected her to be Minister Feng's long-lost daughter.
That night, Prince Ling obviously showed great concern for her.
Your Highness witnessed it yourself.
Have you heard from Prince Ling?
Are we to keep urging for an answer?
Great Wei has shown us no sincerity at all in this matter.
I'm afraid it isn't Great Wei that lacks in sincerity...
But that someone does not have the affection.
Since you were a child
when have you ever had to put up with such grievances?
Does A-Chai Tribe have to beg so meekly in order to survive?
War? A-Chai Tribe is never afraid to go to war.
However, if we are to fend Liang State off without blood shed
Wei State and Prince Ling are our best choices.
It's all right to wait a while longer.
We can't walk away from this trip in vain.
Have you heard from A-Chai Tribe?
Kualu has been taking various actions.
He's been dispatching troops from Longhe City recently.
Who knows how King Fulianchou is doing?
None of our scouts has brought back any reliable news.
However, it has been particularly quiet in the palace of A-Chai Tribe.
The quieter it is, the more suspicious it is.
Princess Duo Xia is still staying in Wei State.
It means that King Fulianchou must be fine.
Convey my orders.
Dispatch another 50,000 soldiers to our border with A-Chai Tribe.
Let's see how long he could drag this out.
Yes, Your Highness.
Father!
Why are you in such a panic?
News came in from Longhe City.
Liang State has added another 50,000 men to besiege the city as a warning to us!
Yet, Duo Xia still hasn't sent us any news.
I'm worried that should we wait any longer...
the war will soon break out!
Before Duo Xia set out
she said that she's chosen Prince Ling as her prince consort.
She wrote to tell me that she had explained to Crown Prince Hao.
However, after all this time, this matter is still not finalized.
It seems that something unexpected has happened.
Father, this matter must be confirmed sooner rather than later.
