Wonderland of Love

Episode 19

Calm down, father.

I've prepared fast horses.

If the war is not going well,

I'll escort you

to the south.

We'll be safe

on the south bank

with the Changjiang River as a natural moat.

Father,

if the war is dire

I can stay to lead

guards to block the enemies.

Then brother,

please help father to leave first.

Brother,

you're loyal and intrepid.

You're the eldest son,

so our father and the empire

will all rely on you.

If I stay here

to fend off enemies,

so you two can survive,

my death will be worthwhile.

Lai, you are

such a kind child.

Brother.

Brother, you can't...

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

News from the front line.

Speak.

Prince of Qin has breached the capital.

Congratulations.

The prince vanquished the traitors

and led his army into the Western Capital.

What?

Congratulations, father.

Your great fortune benefits our empire,

so he could

recover the capital.

Congratulations.

He took the capital

due to your recognition.

It's all because of your foresight.

Blessed be our empire.

Good.

Very good.

Grand Master Wu has a point

that I am the true dragon.

The people will be saved

only when I sit on the throne

Congratulations, father.

When I was sixteen,

I came to say farewell to the late emperor

before leaving for Laolan Pass.

He was so mad

that he refused to see me

because I made a mistake.

He sent the order

to let me behave myself

so I wouldn't humiliate the family.

You have

recovered the capital,

so the late emperor

may rest in peace.

What about the soldiers

chasing Sun?

They failed to catch him

after short combats.

Sun's trusted guards

protected him.

It seems

Sun Jing is still in coma.

They kept fighting

and has retreated to Tong Pass.

Where's General Cui?

When we entered the city,

he led his men into the palace,

dismounted at the Rigorousness Palace,

and entered the Cloud Platform.

He said,

so much for the interest.

Then he left with his men

and went out of the city

to their barracks.

So much for the interest.

I also want to

defeat my enemies,

and say something like

so much for the interest,

and leave.

That is a true general.

Your Highness,

you're different from him.

But right now,

I envy him so much.

Since you left Laolan Pass,

you led armies to rescue the Crown

and recovered the Western Capital,

so you are no longer

the same as commoners,

nor can you say

you envy anyone.

Yeah.

But it's so boring.

Where's Ying?

Did she leave

with General Cui?

So this is the Imperial Palace.

Commandant,

the buildings are only

a bit higher

and a bit spacier,

but there's nothing else.

Look,

we are standing at

the Jadeglister Building.

Over there,

the Rigorousness Palace,

the Government Palace,

and the Integrity Palace.

Emperors used to

handle affairs there.

Behind that high wall

is the Eastern Palace.

What's behind

this building

is the Forbidden Palace.

How many people used to live

in these houses?

The emperor had more than a dozen sons

and over a hundred grandchildren,

so it was a large family.

This place wasn't enough

so his sons would be allocated mansions

out of the palace

when they got married.

It's a shame

that Sun Jing

almost killed

all the Lis in his rebellion.

It's Prince of Qin.

Ying.

I'd like to

ask you a favor.

What is it?

The former crown prince's consort Xiao

bore disgrace

to poison Sun Jing,

but she's poisoned, too.

Now she's dying,

I'd like to ask Taozi to treat her.

Since she's a woman,

could you look after her?

So it was she who poisoned Sun Jing.

Trust me,

I won't fail you.

I shall take care of her.

It's this rouge.

Her Ladyship said,

Sun Jing might notice it

if she put the poison in the dishes,

so she added it to this.

She also said

that the poison smelt sweet and fragrant,

so only the floral aroma of the rouge

could cover that smell.

And there was only one chance.

When you breached the city,

she applied the poison to her lips

regardless that she'd be poisoned, too.

She just

wanted to die with Sun Jing.

Greetings, father.

No need to salute.

Thank you.

Prince of Qin sent his men

to greet me.

As the emperor,

I shall return to the capital

in a grand ceremony

to accept the courtiers' congratulations.

Father,

I'm not sure if I shall

tell you this.

Don't be hesitate.

Say it.

Prince of Qin

made an unparalleled merit

by recovering the capital,

I wonder how you will

reward him.

What?

He's my son.

Besides,

it's his duty

to share my burden?

Then why should I reward him?

You've entitled him

Prince of Qin.

That title is

the noblest

among the princes.

So if you want to reward him,

you can only make him the crown prince.

Making him the crown prince?

He's not the firstborn of my wife.

So tell me,

why would I make him the crown prince?

If you don't want to

make him the crown prince

nor reward him,

considering his great merits,

people with ill intent

may incite the army

to start a mutiny.

Then it'll be so messy.

A mutiny?

That's...

That's...

Calm down, father.

When you return to the palace,

you may go to the Treasury.

The traitor Sun Jing ran in such a hurry

that he didn't take away

the treasures.

The Treasury?

Right, father.

Why don't you open it

and reward

the soldiers who took the capital?

Then they will

be grateful to Your Majesty.

So they won't be incited

into a mutiny.

Your idea is brilliant.

When I go back,

I'll open the Treasury

to reward the armies.

Your kindness will benefit

the people for generations.

Long live the emperor.

Your kindness will benefit

the people for generations.

Long live the emperor.

My Lady.

You've woken up.

My Lady.

It's good you woke up.

That means you're detoxified a bit.

Long live the emperor.

What...

What's that sound outside?

My Lady,

you've been in coma for several days.

Prince of Qin

recovered the capital with his army

and invited His Majesty back.

Now

His Majesty is being greeted.

What you hear

is the army's shouting of gratitude.

We...

We won?

Be careful, My Lady.

We...

We won?

We wo... won?

Trust me,

we have won.

And who are these ladies?

My Lady,

this is Commandant Ho of the Cui's Army.

She's entrusted by the prince

to take care of you.

Thanks to Taozi

who's with her,

you're detoxified by

the medicine she made carefully.

Thank you, Commandant Ho.

Your righteousness

saved all the people,

so I should thank you

on behalf of them.

How do I deserve your appreciation?

It's a nice resting hall,

but the curtains are old.

Replace all of them.

Yes.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

No need to salute.

You came right on time.

You made a great merit

by recovering the Western Capital.

So

what reward do you want?

Treasure or fiefdom?

Your Majesty,

I want no rewards.

I'd like to

ask for your permission

to bring men to greet

the crown prince's son.

The crown prince's son?

Sun killed the late emperor

and the crown prince.

Luckily, General Han Chang

helped the crown prince's son out.

Your Majesty.

He is

the blood of the crown prince,

so please allow me to bring him back

and make him the crown prince.

It's a major thing,

so I need to deliberate on it.

Your Majesty,

the late emperor was killed

and the crown prince died,

so his son has every right

to take the throne.

Like I've said,

I need to deliberate on it.

You may leave.

Take a good rest

since you've been busy so long.

And don't come here

unless it's necessary.

Yes.

My Lady,

you shall eat something.

Jin'niang.

Is Sun Jing still alive?

My Lady.

Yes.

Theoretically,

I should be worried

because that big trouble

still exists.

But when I recall

the moment he rushed here in blood

and held my hands...

What am I thinking about?

I am the late crown prince's consort.

My Lady.

In my days at the Eastern Palace,

I just lived

like a shell without soul.

I only felt like

a real person

when I was with him.

But I'm the crown prince's consort

and I'm supposed to love him.

My Lady.

I know.

I'll talk about it no more,

an nobody will know

my past with him,

and nobody will know

that I still

love him right now.

My Lady.

My Lady.

Though I was

with him insincerely,

I lost my chastity,

so I deserve to die.

My Lady,

please don't say that.

Don't worry.

I won't die now

because I have to make sure

the my son will come back.

I shall watch him

grow up.

Then

I can face the late crown prince

in the underworld.

My Lady.

Please.

To think you'd come to see me.

I thought Lady Cui has

forgotten me already.

Why are you so forgetful?

You told me

look after Consort Xiao.

She is much better now

at last.

She ate some porridge

and can speak now.

So I could come to meet you.

I came straight for you

instead of my daddy.

Aren't you satisfied?

I'm leaving.

I have to go out

to see my daddy.

I was kidding.

Look,

stay with me,

and I'll go out with you

to visit General Cui,

okay?

You're not afraid

that he'll tie you up again

and stuff you in a chest?

You'll save me anyway.

I'm not sure of that.

What's up?

Did something

make you upset?

Why would you

lie here alone?

It's fine.

I was just reading

and I was so bored that I fell asleep.

I heard that His Majesty

opened the Treasury

to reward the armies.

Normally,

you should be having

a horde of guests

considering your honor.

But why's it so quiet?

I don't like those civil officials.

Besides,

as Prince of Qin

and head of the army,

it's improper for me

to socialize with them.

It's more suspicious to

socialize with generals.

So I shut my gate

and refused guests.

The courtiers

know my temper.

So they dared not to bather me.

You may ignore the others,

but

you should visit

Councilor Gu.

His post was recovered

a couple of days ago.

His Majesty wanted to grant him a title

which he refused firmly.

What a righteous man.

He helped us a lot

when we retook the city.

So I went to his mansion

to thank him

after the court meeting.

That's all?

Well,

he even refused His Majesty's reward,

what could I do?

Since you went there,

didn't you visit Gu Wanniang?

Why should I visit her?

It's not my business

if you had visited her.

Ying, are you jealous?

I'm not.

You are jealous.

I'm not jealous.

I'm leaving

to see my daddy.

I'll go with you.

so you won't be worried.

No.

Don't be jealous.

Please take a look.

Anything you like?

My fruit nuts

are plump, fragrant,

and crisp.

You'll like it.

One portion

of every kind.

Just a moment.

You said in the letter

that we'd come to

this store

when we're in the city.

Now

your wish is fulfilled.

I've bought enough for you

to enjoy for a couple of days.

You sound

a little reluctant.

Not exactly,

but when I think

that I don't know

when I can see you again...

It's surprising

to see you being

so sentimental.

I should

buy less,

so you'd miss me

when you finish them.

Then I decided to

buy more.

So you'd miss me

when you eat them.

That's better.

Who'll miss you

when eating fruit nuts?

Me.

I'll miss you when I eat them.

After all,

your favorite

is also my favorite.

Here are your fruit nuts.

Thanks.

Let's go.

You look much better now

and you walk more steadily.

Taozi said

that you'll be alright

after recuperating.

Commandant Ho is here.

My Lady,

are you

feeling better today?

Much better.

Sit with me.

Thank you.

You do look

much better now.

Taozi told me

that you'd be weak

when you recover,

so you should have

some snow ginseng.

I told Prince of Qin about it.

And he chose

some top-grade snow ginseng

and let me bring them

for you.

Please than him for me.

You're welcome.

You told me

a couple of days ago

that you're a member of the Cuis,

and the prince entrusted you

to look after me.

Thank you for that.

It's alright.

Don't stand on ceremony.

Speaking of which,

it were Jin'niang

and the maids who looked after you,

I just came here

to talk with you.

Are you

the one Prince of Qin loves?

Though I've never met him,

I communicated with him through letters

at my most troubled time.

So I could tell

his character from

the details.

I know he's unmarried,

so you must be his love.

That's why

he entrusted me to you.

You're such a brilliant person.

I am just

a disloyal person

who deserves

to die.

Prince of Qin gave me the word

that he'd bring my son back.

I know

he's a man of his word.

As the former crown prince's consort,

it's awkward

and improper for me

to stay in the palace.

So I'd like to leave here

to find a quiet place

as my home.

Please tell Prince of Qin to

help me.

Don't worry,

I'm sure he'll see it done.

Are you really surnamed Ho?

That's pretty,

so you're also good at

flower arrangement.

When Prince of Qin was here,

I was going to

let you greet him,

but I gave it a second thought

and didn't do it.

It wasn't a good time.

There will be more chances.

Yes.

His Majesty rewarded the armies

when he returned.

But he didn't

reward the prince.

I think

it must be

because he listened to

the slanderous talk

of the base men around.

These things just happen.

No reward could be granted to such a great merit.

I guess it's hard

for His Majesty

to decide it.

Right.

The Prince of Qin

is the highest title

among the princes.

But

he retook the two capitals

and recovered our empire,

it's really not proper

to grant him nothing

for his incomparable credit.

What do you suggest?

His Majesty is in his prime,

so

he's no intention to name a crown prince.

Otherwise,

he must entitle Prince of Qin.

But Prince of Xin is the firstborn

and Prince of Qi is his favorite son.

And His Majesty hasn't conferred

the empress since he took the throne.

Only the empress's son

is legitimate.

Tomorrow,

I'm going to suggest

conferring a posthumous title

on Prince of Qin's mother.

He has made great merits,

so his mother

deserves that title and status .

It's said

that his mother wasn't a noble.

That doesn't matter.

With an outstanding son

like Prince of Qin,

shouldn't she

be conferred the empress?

My mind is set.

Prince of Xin and Prince of Qi's mother, Dong,

shall be Empress of Zhaocheng.

Prince of Qin's mother, Liu,

shall be Consort of Zhaoyi.

Th... that...

That's improper.

Your Majesty, I don't think it's proper.

I'm with General Pei.

The titles

represent your grand favor

as well as humanity.

Since Prince of Qin rose at Laolan Pass,

he restored peace

and recovered the capitals.

If you only make

his mother the Consort of Zhaoyi,

it may not be enough to show

your great benevolence.

Your Majesty,

I think Liu should

be made the empress

for giving birth to Prince of Qin.

I agree.

I second it.

I second the proposal.

You all say

that Prince of Qin

made great merits

and recovered cities.

Where's the Eastern Capital?

Please calm down.

I should be blamed for losing it.

Silence.

Liu was merely a maid,

must she

be made the empress

because she is Prince of Qin's mother?

Your Majesty,

since you are angry

with of my mother's identity,

I volunteer to give up my title

and go to protect Laolan Pass.

What?

You...

Please calm down.

It's humane

for Prince of Qin to be grateful

to his mother.

Please forgive him.

Get lost now.

I don't want to see you again.

Ungrateful bastard!

Get out.

He has no respect for his emperor.

He has no respect for his father.

By the oral edict of His Majesty,

since Prince of Qin

disrespected me

and stirred chaos in the court,

I hereby order that

he is removed of the post

as the Military Commander-in-chief.

He shall reflect at home

and shall not leave

or discuss the military,

or political affairs

without permission.

Ordered by His Majesty.

Thank you,

Your Majesty.

When I was young,

the wet nurse coaxed me

that I can make a bamboo dragonfly

if I had a wish

which might be realized

when it fell on the ground.

I wanted to

see my mom so eagerly

because only I

had no mom.

So I made

many bamboo dragonflies

and climbed

to let them go one by one.

Until I

let go all of them,

I realized

that it was just a white lie.

Such a wish

couldn't be realized no matter

how many bamboo dragonflies I made.

Give it back to me.

Son of a maid.

Give it back to me.

Your mom was the lowest maid

and you're a bane to her death.

Give it back to me.

There, there.

Tell me,

why did you snatch your brother's thing?

I didn't snatch it,

He snatched my bamboo dragonfly

and cursed me.

What did he say?

Then tell me.

What did he say?

You can't say it?

How dare you lie?

I'm not lying.

You're talking back?

I'm not.

You're lying.

I'm not.

Stop lying!

I'm not lying.

Liar.

I'm not.

How dare you!

I'm not lying.

You're lying.

Liar.

I'm not a liar.

Liar.

I'm not a liar.

Liar.

I'm not.

Here Rests Liu Chengfeng

You saved my life Here Rests Liu Chengfeng

Here Rests Liu Chengfeng

when we were kids. Here Rests Liu Chengfeng

Here Rests Liu Chengfeng

Then you came to our family Here Rests Liu Chengfeng

Then you came to our family

and supported me

no matter what I did.

You covered me

when I made mistakes.

You used my name

to endure many dangers.

In the end,

you died to save me.

You had been my son over a decade.

Today,

I built this tomb for you

to show your real name,

but you

are always

a real son to me.

Feng,

I will

avenge you.

From now on,

you're no longer Cui Lin,

but yourself.

You're Liu Chengfeng.

But you'll always

be our family,

and my brother.

Mister.

I never expect

we could leave

the palace alive.

Look,

the prince

has arranged

a quiet place for you.

Besides,

blessing comes after misfortune.

I'm sure you'll meet your son

and have a long

and merry life.

Of the eighteen bends on Laolan River,

the first is the Silver Pines.

Plump are the fish...

Ni, have some meat.

But prettier are the eyes of the girls there.

Ni.

- Come over. - Get here.

Bring the liquor.

Youyi, Youren.

Coming.

Of the eighteen bends on Laolan River...

Cheers.

Cheers.

Come on. Bottom up.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Of the eighteen bends on Laolan River,

the first is the Silver Pines.

The eighteen...

General Pei.

General Pei.

Give General Pei

some mutton.

All right.

Try this mutton chop.

Come on.

Give him the meat.

Try our mutton chop.

Let's drink.

Try this.

Come on.

General Pei.

This piece is nice.

Let's drink.

Let's keep drinking.

Come on.

Ni.

Nice.

Come on.

Things are urgent now,

how could you

enjoy parties

in you place?

Let's have a drink first.

Is it done?

Come on.

Do you know

that Sun's army in Baiyue

is...

Just try the mutton.

How's it roasted?

Take a seat.

- Let's drink.- Come.

OK.

Cheers.

Prince of Xin's men are outside,

so lower your voice.

Come on.

I've been waiting for you.

Though Sun Jing

is still in coma at Tong Pass,

he will recover soon.

And his army in Baiyue

is on the way back.

It'll be serious

if his army joins him

at Tong Pass.

Ni.

What's your plan?

I've been thinking.

The best way is

to let your father

send you to Changzhou.

Changzhou lies here,

and here's Hanshui River

which runs northwards.

This is

the best place to annihilate

his army.

Trust me,

my father and I

will see it done.

There's something else.

I'll walk in fire

to do whatever you entrust to me.

That's not necessary,

but I really need your help.

Trust me.

Any oral message

from His Highness?

Thank you then.

Don't you read it, Commandant Ho?

It's you, General Pei Yuan.

You sent the letter

for him in person?

Please give it

to Commandant Ho.

Well, as you know,

she's Lady Cui now.

She's in their barracks

outside Luoyang.

Ni,

is it an important business

with the Cuis?

Or you know how to

recover the Eastern Capital?

Neither.

It's personal.

Though His Majesty

has sent imperial guards

to keep you here,

I don't believe

you can't find anyone else.

Where's Chang'er?

You've no idea.

The guards outside

will count

my people here.

Chang'er may be swiftly,

but he can't make it back

within a day.

Ni,

I've told you

that the Cuis are...

You've said

to walk in fire for me.

You changed your mind?

What's more,

send these snacks

to her as well.

It's her favorite.

Go now.

Ni is confined

in his mansion,

but he still wrote

a letter to you.

You really won't

take a look?

Don't worry, General Pei.

Even if all the bad people

are dead,

your Prince of Qin

would still be fine.

He risked his life

to save you several times,

but you don't care about him one bit.

So

you really have a heart of stone.

Considering his achievements,

if he's still in the court,

what can His Majesty reward him?

If he has nothing to reward,

will his two sons

and the courtiers

fear Prince of Qin?

It seems Prince of Qin lost

his military power

after he was grounded.

But did he

really lose West-Pacifying Army?

General Pei,

you're a commander, too.

When to charge

and when to rest.

I'm sure you know that.

It's late,

so you shall not

stay here too long.

I won't walk you out.

Goodbye.

Someone must be disappointed to see

the it wasn't Chang'er.

N... No.

I'm not.

You must be hunger at night.

Take the snacks he just sent

to fill your belly.

You're the best.

I'm really hungry now.

So eat.

Commandant,

It's not too sweet nor greasy.

It's really good.

You really

won't read that letter?

Why don't you read it?

Why is it a piece of blank paper?

Commandant,

you knew it, right?

What does he mean?

He let Pei Yuan send the letter

to show me that he's still useful

though he's confined.

The West-Pacifying Army

still follows his order.

Nothing else is important,

so why bother writing it?

You smart guys always

do things in this way.

Aren't you tired?

Right.

I'm not like someone

who just needs to whistle

and Chang'er

comes here at once.
