Wonderland of Love

Episode 21

Ni.

Brother Bao.

Chang'er, what's up?

The messengers

have been waiting for an hour

and keep urging me to ask

if Ni wakes up.

Didn't we tell them

that Prince of Qin

was too ill

to get out of bed?

But...

Bao, go handle it.

Chang'er isn't a good liar,

so he may spill the beans

when he's inquired.

My... my waist hurts.

I can't get up now.

So what can

cure you, brother Bao?

I need the roast meat

of Fengying Tavern.

But it's to expensive

for me.

I heard it costs three strings of coins.

Alrighty!

My Lord,

I promise I'll turn away the guys

from the palace,

so they can't bother Your Highness.

Give me the umbrella.

Commandant.

You've done writing?

I thought...

You thought what?

I thought

you'd explain it to him.

After all

we've seized Changzhou.

Did I have to save people

as Li Ni told me to?

I just came for Changzhou.

Otherwise,

I might

fail our soldiers.

What's more,

he thought he could

order us by a mere letter?

Shouldn't I

take the reward myself?

Commander-in-chief.

Tell nobody about it,

Or it'll affect the morale.

Yes.

It's just

the poison is so vicious.

We should find out

who poisoned you.

That's not necessary.

I'm afraid that person is

still around you.

Of the 100,000 soldiers

we sent to Baiyue,

only 60,000

returned.

To think

they were all

finished at Changzhou.

That old bastard Cui Yi

is really a strong enemy.

Commander,

since Cui took Changzhou,

if he fights against the court,

we may still stand a chance.

Only Li Ni can

confront Cui Yi.

I think Cui Yi marched southwards

because of Li Ni's idea.

To think

I'd decline

to this situation.

At present,

we can only defend Tong Pass

and try to catch

Li Xuanze, the crown prince's son,

to turn the tide.

Yes.

It's been several days,

but Li Ni refuses to accept the edict.

Unfilial bastard.

He wants to wind me up.

The Cui's people

will attack the capital

in a couple of days.

Father,

since the Cuis took Changzhou,

they may attack Danzhou

and Luzhou

if they want to.

The situation is dire,

but Li Ni ignores your order

and the big picture.

He should be punished.

Punish!

All you know is to punish!

Will you lead the army

if I punish him?

Can you do it?

Brother.

Brother.

Don't take

father's words to heart.

He criticized you

out of his deep love for you.

Speaking of Ni,

he used to be sensible,

but why is he

so emotional now?

You can't see it through?

He did it on purpose.

He uses the chance

to make father blame me instead.

Brother,

I tried to persuade him

in his mansion,

thinking this thing

will be finished

if I can make it.

But he showed me

no respect at all.

I suggest you

not to receive his cold shoulder

and be humiliated.

Brother.

Father.

Why did you come back?

Father,

I thought about it just now.

Since Ni refuses to lead the army,

I'm sure he wants something.

He wants something?

Tell me then.

Considering

the wars in Changzhou,

you'd better give it to him

if Ni asks for something.

Then go to ask him

what on earth he wants.

I certainly can't ask him directly

because he'll

beat around the bush

if I do so.

Wanker!

I'm his dad,

couldn't I ask him what he wants?

Trust me,

I'll do my best to find it out

and persuade him into marching out.

You're the best, Lai.

You know me so well,

but your brother is too reckless.

I can't count on him.

The fish in the Han River

are plump.

Fishermen catch them

to sell in Changzhou.

It tastes fresh after grilling.

I couldn't help to smile when I recall

your joke before.

I hope you could come

to enjoy the fish with me.

Ni.

Ni.

Ni.

You smell like a drunkard.

Ni.

You were right about it.

The guards of Prince of Qi

did invite me

to drink with them.

So?

We had three jars of good liquor.

As you ordered,

I bragged to them

and also told them

your words.

We'll see if my second brother

can apprehend it.

Ni.

Where are you going?

Fishing.

Fishing?

If I want to grill fish,

I'd better practice fishing.

Why's there so much water around?

My Lord, watch your steps.

I'm fine.

Brother Ni.

Brother Ni.

Brother Lai?

What brings you here?

I'm here to visit you.

How are you doing now?

Well, to tell you the truth,

the doctor said

I was so weak.

He told me to

sit beside the water

to absorb the essence of the nature.

But you know

father ordered me to reflect

at home.

So

I came up with this idea.

See?

Am I sitting

beside the water?

But the pond is too small,

so I

let them pour water

around it.

This is

a brilliant idea.

I'm just trying

to recover soon.

Brother Ni,

I came for another thing.

I persuaded father into

returning the West-Pacifying Army

to you.

That's not proper.

All the land belongs to the emperor,

and all the people are his subjects.

The West-Pacifying Army belongs to the court,

so how could it be mine?

Brother Ni,

Cui Yi has taken

Changzhou already

and Sun Jing is at Tong Pass,

so the Western Capital is at stake.

Our elder brother was disciplined

by father for his rashness.

Now

father issued the edict

to recover your post

as the Military Commander-in-chief.

You're in charge of the army

and should lead it to Changzhou.

If you still

feel angry,

I can only

apologize to you

on behalf of our father.

Brother Lai,

you're making me

a disloyal and unfilial son.

Father wants you

to accept the edict.

I'll accept

if the reinforcement is fully provided.

Of course.

Though I'm still ill,

considering your sincerity

and father's eager hope,

I have to

accept it reluctantly.

You're such a sensible man.

Commandant.

Commandant.

Prince of Qin did come this time.

Let him come then.

You invited him

to eat grilled fish.

But he

just led troops

to Changzhou without informing you.

So what's the big deal?

Couldn't he lead them

to eat fish here?

Huh?

Commandant,

did we step in

his trap?

Look,

he wrote a letter

to urge us

to help General Pei out

and terminated

Sun's army returning from Baiyue.

But after that,

he led his men

to Changzhou.

If he's really capable,

he could easily

take it back.

Take a look.

You've saved so much?

Counting in our savings,

I think we have

at least 20 taels!

Fantastic.

We can finally buy Mistress Qin

and Xi'er's freedom

from the theatrical troupe.

As the saying goes,

better be a dog in peace

than a man in chaos.

So many people

lost their lives

during the war.

Mistress Qin is still in debts

after having performed for years.

The leader still forced her to be a prostitute,

and threatened to sell her daughter.

If they didn't meet us,

they would have

drowned themselves.

We should help people.

We rose at Mt. Mingdai

and joined the army

to follow Ni into wars.

What do we fight for?

We just want to

let more poor people

have a peaceful life.

Am I right?

Youde has a point.

He's right.

Tell me about it.

Let me find a way

to get more money.

Since we want to help them,

we shall help Mistress Qin

and Xi'er to settle down.

- OK. - Right. - Yes.

Bottom up.

- OK. - Cheers. - Cheers.

Mister,

Prince of Qin

is in charge of his army

and will recover Changzhou.

The Grassland of Jieshuo

Chieftain Wu Luo.

It seems

you're fully recovered.

Yes.

Wu Luo Chieftain of Jieshuo

I saved you as promised, Wu Luo Chieftain of Jieshuo

Wu Luo Chieftain of Jieshuo

now it's time for you to Wu Luo Chieftain of Jieshuo

now it's time for you to

fulfill your promise to me.

You saved my life

with your tribe's cure

and made my weak body

strong as an able man.

Now I can knock an arrow

like a warrior.

But I can't

tell you the garrison deployment

in Yingzhou,

nor can I join you to

attack it.

You're going back on your word.

You should know

that you've taken the cure.

Once I cut off

your routine treatment,

you will die

of bone breaking.

Like you said,

eagle hovers above the wild

because it spots a prey.

Once it spreads its wings,

even the wild oxen tremble.

I'm familiar

with the tricks centralings play.

And I also know

how to make them kill each other.

So if you

are willing to trust me,

then send a group of men

to sneak into the Central Plains with me.

Then I'll show you

the reward of saving me.

We can find a chance to kill the prince

once he leaves the Western Capital.

He's in the light

and I'm the dark.

I've got enough time

to plan for it.

He's arrived near Changzhou.

We can find a chance to kill him.

Ying.

This time,

I will bring you

back to me one way or another.

General,

drink your medicine.

I've drank it over a decade

and I've no idea

when I can stop having it.

Bitter medicine cures sickness.

Your old wounds

always hurt in rainy days,

so you shall

keep having it.

Here, drink it.

It's good for your health.

I know.

You care for me.

I heard the emperor ordered Li Ni

to come to Changzhou.

Changzhou is easy to defend,

what can he do here?

Do you fear him?

Let me warn you in advance,

I'll show no mercy to the prince

in the battlefield.

That's exactly what I want you to do.

Li Ni is an arrogant lad,

so he shall know

what you are made of.

That's right.

Here.

It's yours.

Goodbye.

Commandant,

The Tang's

Rose Lychee Cakes

look so good.

See?

It's like a flower.

It has a great name, too.

You are

always gluttonous.

It's so tasty.

Wait for me.

Don't walk so fast.

Mister.

Mister.

Mister.

Who are you?

Why do you disguise as my mister to lure me here?

Don't hurt her.

You alright?

No, be careful.

They used poison.

What do you plan

to do in Changzhou?

You really want to

lead the army to

fight the Cui's Army to an end?

Of course not.

I've got another way to seize the city.

You can let them

give it to us without fighting?

Speaking of Commandant Ho,

she never suffers any loss.

When you wrote

to let her save General Pei,

she did as you asked,

but she took Changzhou by the way.

Isn't she too calculating?

Look, Ni,

I'm sure you'll be

a henpecked husband.

as you're inferior to her.

Can we talk about business?

I am talking about business.

General, a pigeon letter.

How did the pigeon find you?

It's hard to train.

Where there is a will,

there is a way.

What does a pigeon

taste like?

I'm just an uneducated man,

so I'm fine with the roast meat

of Fengying Tavern.

Didn't I give you some money

when you said your waist hurt?

I spent it before leaving

the capital.

Bao.

You should save some money,

won't it be a good thing to buy some land

and get married

when the war is over?

We'll cross the bridge when we get there.

When it's really the time

to retire from the army,

I will save some money to buy land

and get married.

But right now,

Ni,

do you think

pigeon is yummy?

Thanks.

Fly.

Mister,

stop drinking.

Drinking at night hurts your health.

I wonder

if Ying is detoxified.

Mister,

we couldn't draw Li Ni out

if we didn't use that plan.

If the commandant blames you,

just tell her I did it without your permission.

No.

She won't blame me.

How could Ying blame me

since she'll marry me?

Is it the sweep soup?

Why is it you here?

Why can't it be me?

You got Changzhou already,

shouldn't I sneak in

and kidnap you

in exchange for the city?

If Your Highness want to kidnap me,

why do you come with the soup?

I should coax you first

before luring you away,

or if you shout out,

I'd be trapped here

instead of

luring you away.

Wouldn't it be a loss?

You could

lure me away by a bowl of soup?

Besides,

it's not

made by you,

but Taozi.

So I feel no sincerity.

You're not afraid

that I'd call them in

to tie you up

and send you to our general?

Let them do it

since I'm here

to discuss about Changzhou

with General Cui.

Have the medicine now.

The letter

sent by the Taozi

really scared me.

So I came to you at once.

Here.

It must be bitter.

Let me try it for you.

You can't drink it!

The antidote always

fights fire with fire,

so it's probably poisonous, too.

How could you drink it?

I've no idea.

You should tell me

it's poisonous.

Crap.

You alright?

Ni.

I feel so bad.

Ni.

You alright, Ni?

What's wrong?

Ni.

Ni. Wake up.

Ni!

Well?

It's not bitter.

How dare you tease me?

I dare not.

I just tried

if it's bitter.

It's not, right?

You don't believe it?

Then try it again.

You should go now.

Too late.

Surround this place.

Your Highness,

you dared to enter Changzhou

and sneaked into my mansion.

General Cui,

it's been several months.

Commandant Ho,

did this man

sneak into my mansion to force you

to tell him military secrets,

so he could take the city, didn't he?

He didn't, general.

Guards,

take away this spy who broke into

my mansion.

General.

No, General.

He didn't!

Commandant Ho,

since he broke in

to steal our secrets,

you know how

to punish him

according to principles.

You shall

be grounded for a few days

in case you'll free him.

Taozi.

Why are you here?

How's it going outside?

The prince is lock up

in the water prison.

When I heard about it,

I went to check it out.

But I was exposed.

So general told his men

to escort me back.

He also ordered

you and me

not to leave this house,

or we'd be punished

by the military law.

Li Ni boasted

that he's the best scout of

the West-Pacifying Army,

but he was caught easily

by my daddy

when he sneaked in.

What shall we do then?

As the best scout,

he probably

know a way out.

What way out?

Where's your whistle?

Right, since Prince of Qin is here,

so is Chang'er.

Let me call him here.

Commandant.

The day is breaking,

but Chang'er didn't show up.

Did Prince of Qin

come alone?

No,

I'm sure Xie Chang'er is here.

Commandant, Taozi.

Breakfast is here.

Taozi.

What took you so long?

My whistle is almost broken.

I thought you wouldn't show up.

I knew

you'd find a way

to see us.

I was late.

It's strictly guarded here.

I managed to

stun a man and sneaked in.

I'm sorry.

I'll forgive you this time.

Where's Ni?

He is

locked the water prison.

We are

also grounded.

So we called you here.

No wonder I spent a whole night outside

but didn't see him.

He's in the water prison now,

so I need your help

to get him out.

But what can I do?

Your suit

comes in handy.

To think my superior told me

to send breakfast for a spy like you.

I think you should

be starved for a couple of days.

It's harder than rocks.

I wonder if you worry about me

since I'm trapped here.

I wonder

if you take the medicine on time.

Since your dad is so fierce,

maybe

we should elope

when I get out.

All right?

All right.

Why did you come here?

You're locked here

because of me.

So I had to come to see you.

Then did you just

agree to me?

About what?

Eloping together.

What if I change my mind?

This time,

there's no way

I'd let you go.

All right.

I'm relaxed

to see you are

still so lively.

So you just stay

in this prison.

My daddy will release you

when he calms down.

You're leaving now?

No kidding?

You're leaving?

Soldier.

Who was that man?

I don't think I know him.

He's our general's guard,

so how could we know him?

He became

general's guard so young?

She did leave.

Why did you come back?

How could I save you without the key?

I knew you wouldn't leave me here.

Come.

Let's go now.

I'm not allowed

to leave my room.

I played a trick to sneak out.

But it can't hold him too long.

Come.

The keys are not here.

I guess my daddy

keeps them.

Besides, we can get out more easily

with those chains.

Come.

Move.

Alas, prince

how dare you to force

my commandant to help you escape.

General Cui.

I came for Changzhou.

I was supposed to pay you

an official visit,

but you might misunderstand it

if I came with guards.

So I came here alone.

You've got a glib-tongue.

General,

Ying kept up all the night,

so let her go back to rest.

Kill or inquire me

as you want.

Don't worry.

General is a man of courage,

not killing.

So he won't kill me.

Stop flattering me.

Don't think I won't kill you

because of your words.

I'm sure you won't.

It's fine.

You love my daughter?

Yes.

General.

I've fallen in love with her.

Please give us your best wish.

If you really love her,

I may not refuse it.

You mean it?

On one term.

As long as it won't go against loyalty,

I'll do it for you

even if walking in fire.

I want you to give up Changzhou

and take over my army

as my matrilocal son.

That is my term.

General,

that I can't do.

You're afraid that it'll taint

your reputation?

General,

you know the reason.

Emperor rules courtiers and father rules sons.

As the son of the emperor,

I'd betray him

if I become your matrilocal son.

If you take a prince for matrilocal son,

all the courtiers will consider it as

a humiliation to the Crown

and themselves.

So they will advocate

annihilating your army.

Then war

will break out again.

Since it'll make me betray

my empire and father,

I'm afraid I can't do that.

You refused it so frankly,

then there's nothing else.

Back to the prison.

General,

I don't want to go back there.

It's not up to you.

General,

Ying is not totally detoxified.

I'd like to stay

to look after her.

When she's recovered,

I'll be at your mercy.

Fine.

You're kind and loyal

to think so.

So General,

you've agreed?

But you sneaked in my mansion

and tried to escaped,

you shall be whipped

for that according to

my army's disciplines.

Then I'll free you.

Your Highness,

the prison or the whip,

your choice.

I choose the whip.

Good.

Frank.

Guards.

Bring me the whip.

Yes.

General,

it's close to Ying's room,

so let's go outside

so she won't be disturbed.

All right.

I was going to lock you up for 30 days,

so you'll take 30 whips in exchange,

how's that?

I just ask you not to

hit my face

because I don't want her to worry.

Fine.

So be it.

Not his face.

Yes.

Lad,

you're tough enough.

General,

please give me some new clothes

in case Ying notices it.

All right.

You'll have them.

Thank you.

Ying.

You're awake?

My daddy didn't lock you up?

I moved him with my sincerity.

Sincerity?

I told him

that I didn't want Changzhou,

so he

released me gladly

and let me accompany you.

Nonsense.

If you said so,

he would ask you

that you might take Changzhou

with your army,

how did you know the result without fighting?

You spoke

just like your father.

Tell me now,

what exactly

you told my daddy,

so he let you accompany me.

I told him

that you love me

and you won't eat

nor have medicine

if you can't see me.

So for your health,

he'd better let me

stay with you.

Reluctantly, your father

agreed in the end.

I knew

you'd threaten him with me.

What's up?

Nothing.

Are you wounded?

No.

Show me.

Did you get wounded?

I didn't.

No.

Unfasten your clothes.

You're a girl,

how could you ask for that?

Do it now,

or I'll tie you up

and do it myself.

No way.

You want to eat something?

Let me fetch it for you.

Just unfasten it.

How many strokes did you bear?

Thirty.

You're Prince of Qin,

can't you use your identity

to stop him

and tell him he's just a courtier?

You said you're

the best scout of your army,

then use you skills

and just escape.

Would they chase you to

the barracks of your army?

Come on, Ying.

Don't cry.

Don't be mad.

I'm not mad.

Come on, your face is red with anger.

I've never known a fool like you.

Ying.

Think about it,

if we have a daughter,

she must be so pretty

and be the apple in our eyes.

Then one day

a punk sneaks in,

climbs to my daughter's bed,

and kisses her secretly.

If I find it out,

shouldn't I chop him into pieces?

It's only 30 strokes.

It's a bargain for me.

Who'll have daughter with you?

A son is also fine.

I don't mind.

Anyway,

don't be mad.

And don't blame uncle Cui.

General Cui.

Where's Taozi?

The medicine is ready.

Let me fetch it.

I'll ask her for medicine.

It's brewed already.

The medicine for you.

Look at your wounds,

if they're not treated today,

they'll fester tomorrow.

I'll go get it.

But will you help me with it

when I get it?

I don't care.

You're such a fool,

you should die from pain.
