Good Bye My Princess (Dong Gong / 东宫)

Eastern Palace -

Episode 10 -

King of Western State, since the princess has returned.

The marriage alliance naturally must be completed.

You can't have any more excuses to delay, can you?

My child, escape now!

Father!

Father!

- Princess! - Father!

King of Western State, are you revolting?

Father!

It's so unnecessary.

I shouldn't have run way. It's all my fault.

Princess, you should talk to the king.

Don't hurt yourself. Don't hurt the two nation's accord.

Ever since his queen died, the King of Western State

has frequently acted crazy.

If you agree to the marriage alliance,

I will report to the Emperor that the king broke down and accidentally hurt our envoy.

This way, he is still the king of Western State.

You will also receive honor and gifts from the Emperor.

It's you

who forced my mother to die.

I didn't want that, either.

Princess, rest well tonight.

Go with me to the capital first thing tomorrow morning.

The King of Western State will be taken care of.

- Guards. - Yes.

Escort the princess to her palace to rest well.

Yes.

Your Highness, here is dinner.

Why haven't I seen you before?

Your Highness, I am a new servant, just assigned to serve you.

You probably know

the queen...

After the queen died, we didn't know when you would return.

The ministers from Central Plains were afraid of bad manners.

They had her buried in the royal tomb according to the king's wishes.

When did my father

become like this?

His Majesty has been like this ever since the queen was buried.

He is sometimes clearheaded but dazed at other times.

When he is clearheaded, he shouts that he wants to kill.

When he's dazed, it's like nothing happened.

Dazed.

I'd rather he is dazed.

It's alright to be dazed.

I am leaving.

Princess, eat something.

You haven't eaten anything for a long time.

Just a little bit.

Get out!

Does the princess have to be guarded like a prisoner when she eats?

Princess,

I recognize that palace maid. She used to serve the queen.

She just left me this secretly.

It's my father's handwriting.

Gao Xian is not the official sent by the Li Kingdom for marriage alliance.

His plan is unknown.

He tells us not to be controlled by Gao Xian.

We can go to Minister An for help.

Tell him that I want to marry the Li Kingdom's crown prince.

That's the only way to stay safe.

That's a good idea from His Majesty.

We can pretend to agree to marry, and then escape.

I will do my best to escape

and look for that minister.

Wait, Ah Du.

Let me think it over again.

Let me think it over again.

Ah Du.

Princess.

I've decided. We'll immediately leave to find Minister An.

We'll tell him that I'm willing to marry the crown prince.

Alright, I will go prepare right now.

Princess, we need to prepare some items for the escape.

It's not an escape.

I am really going to marry into the Li Kingdom.

But the people of the Central Plains are our enemy, Princess.

Where else can we escape to?

No matter where we run to, Li Chengyin will find me.

He'll threaten me with the lives of my father and brother.

Elder Brother has not returned yet, I still have other siblings here.

They are my father's children and this clan's bloodline.

I cannot lose them, either.

Ah Du I must marry into the Li Dynasty, now.

It looks like when Li Chengyin allied with Shuo Bo to destroy Dan Chi,

he must have agreed to give Shuo Bo rewards.

The only thing I can do to protect the Western State is marry over.

I originally didn't understand why

Consort Mingyuan missed home so much

but she didn't want to go back.

She would rather die in a foreign land.

I finally understand now.

Understand

Gao Xian is too arrogant, thinking he can cover everything up.

The Ninth Princess has returned to the palace many days ago,

He actually forbade me to see the King of Western State.

Lord An, the information leaked out from the palace said that

Xizhou's King went crazy after Gao Xian provoked the First Lady into killing herself.

What?

Gao Xian,

what is he planning to do with the 9th Princess?

He locked her up inside the palace.

Who is there?

This servant, Ah Du, is under the princess's orders to requests to see Lord An.

The 9th Princess?

I already told you guys that Her Highness doesn't like the orchid scented one, she likes gardenia.

How can you not remember that?

Ah Du, they don't know what I like, go out and bring some.

What are you looking at? You want to die?

You have the audacity to look at the princess taking a bath?

Who gave you the guts?

Take care, Your Highness.

It's been hard on you guys.

Your Highness, let's go.

There aren't any noticeable flaws in this plan, right?

There will be a shift exchange in an hour, they know that you are resting inside.

I already told Dimo to leave once the lights go out.

When the guards see that it's just a maid, they won't make it hard on her.

Greetings to Lord An.

Let them pass!

Did you not eat yet? Hurry up!

Hurry!

Hurry!

My Lord!

What happened?

There are soldiers chasing us!

Ignore them, let's hurry and go.

Yes sir! Speed up and keep moving forward!

Hurry!

Halt!

Who dares to stop the carriage of an Ambassador from the Royal Palace?

Cease to anger, my Lord.

My Lord,

The King of Western State is blaming a theft at the palace

to frame us for not doing our job.

I am under desperate circumstances.

In order to clear our name from robbery,

to asking you to cooperate by letting us check your baggage.

How dare you!

My Lord, our country's reputation is on the line,

I am afraid it is not up to you.

How audacious of you!

General, there's nothing.

Gao Xiao, I will not let this matter go.

Just wait for my report to the Emperor.

Wait!

Gao Xian,

you'd better stop now.

Minister,

What is the most precious treasure of the Western State?

I am in no mood to play guessing games with you!

The Western State's most precious treasure,

is their 9th Princess.

Your Highness.

I have already agreed to marrying the Crown Prince.

Lord An, please take me to go see His Majesty immediately.

My lord,

the princess's marriage should be planned out carefully.

She should be leaving in a grand and magnificent way.

The way you are escorting the princess seems as if it is some illegal business.

It hurts the reputation of both countries.

You should let the princess come back with me.

She can leave once everything is prepared.

Gao Xian. Unless you kill me today,

don't even think about taking Her Highness away!

Yuan Tong. - Yes sir.

Immediately write up a report to the capital,

stating that our country's marriage ambassador crew ran onto thieves while on their way back to the capital,

everyone including Lord An was brutally murdered,

with no survivors!

You!

Your highness,

I heard that Lord An is on his way back to the capital.

He is most likely bringing the 9th Princess of the Western State back.

The Western State is facing difficulties right now.

Their king sending his 9th Princess

to a political marriage is nothing abnormal.

Since there is Lord An,

what is Gao Xian doing in the Western State?

Your Highness!

His Majesty's royal decree is here, stating that you should return to the capital immediately.

Lord Gao is already waiting for you in the campsite, ready to escort you back to the capital.

You may leave.

Greetings to the 5th Prince. - General Gao

The weather is cold these days, you don't need to escort me personally.

Your highness. Before you return to the capital, I have a big present for you.

You'll know once you step inside and see.

General Gao, what is the meaning of this?

What I'm doing is for your good.

Your father and the empress wrote in a letter that

I am to facilitate the ninth princess and your wedding so that later when you seize the crown prince's seat,

it will help bring you some success.

General Gao, I thank you for your hard work.

Then I will not bother fifth prince's poetic mood

I would like to take my leave.

Despicable

You just really want me to marry you.

You killed my grandfather,
