Good Bye My Princess (Dong Gong / 东宫)

Episode 31

General Pei, thank you.

Crown princess, I will leave first.

Crown princess, please punish me.

I have been waiting you for 4 hours.

Where did you go at this late hour?

I...

Madam Yong.

All of you can leave first.

Yes.

What are you looking at?

I fell into the water and General Pei brought clothes for me to change.

That's all.

That's all?

You caused chaos every time you leave the palace.

General Pei is an official and he has duty to fulfil.

He has to protect the Eastern Palace...

and not following you every day.

Protect you and settle all the problems you caused.

You are the one that asked him to follow me all the time...

and made him couldn't fulfil his duty.

How can you blame me now?

If it's not because of you leaving the palace too often...

do I need to ask someone to follow you?

You come to Chengen Palace tonight is to argue with me, right?

No.

Regarding the wolf's fang that you asked me...

I have thought about it...

and I think I should tell you about it.

I picked the wolf's fang on the way from Western Liang to here.

Someone dropped it outside of my camp.

I don't know who dropped it and I brought it back.

I gave it to Se Se when she said she likes it.

Since it belongs to you...

I will get it back for you when I have the chance.

You should give it back to me earlier!

Report to Your Majesty.

The Western Regions Protectorate reported on day before yesterday...

the remaining people in Danchi escaped to southwest direction of Shuobo...

and hide at the western valley of Yan Zhi Mountain.

They disturb the people and caused chaos in the Western Regions.

General Gao Xian would like to offer himself...

to fight the remnants and solve the problem.

He needs 500 thousand tons of food...

and 1 million tael as the fund for the army.

Your Majesty, please approve it.

High Official Gao.

My father, the Marquis of the Northern Regions has taken over Danchi.

It should be our family's responsibility to fight the remnants.

The food and money should be given to the Marquis of the Northern Regions.

Your Majesty...

The Western Regions Protectorate has been defending the border...

to maintain the stability at the area.

General Gao should bear the responsibility to fight the remnants.

Your Majesty appointed General Zhao to take over Danchi...

is to comfort the people in Danchi.

The food and money...

shouldn't be given to the Marquis of the Northern Regions.

Five hundred thousand tons of food...

and 1 million tael to fund the army...

are not small amount.

Do you need that much of food and money...

to fight a few remnants of Danchi?

Moreover, who will be sent to fight the remnants...

shouldn't be decided by a high official in the Ministry of Revenue.

You are not willing to approve the fund to the Marquis...

could it be you are in cahoots with your accomplices...

to misappropriate the fund?

Minister Zhao!

How can you bring up the private grudge and talk nonsense here?

Your Majesty...

I have been the high official of the Ministry of Revenue for many years.

I recorded every single transaction...

and I don't have any selfish intention.

But you!

You have been talking about the army funding...

-what is your intention? -You...

-Yes. -What's his intention?

Right.

Your highness.

This is related to the national policy.

Your Majesty, please decide.

Prime Minister Gao...

what do you think?

This is regarding to the border, it's something very important.

All the ministers, Gao Family and Zhao Family...

are working for your majesty.

It's just they have their own responsibilities...

and different priorities.

General Gao defeats the remnants with violence.

General Zhao comforts the people in a softer approach.

Both ways have to be used to convince the people from Danchi...

and ensure the peacefulness.

Gao Kun.

Yes.

Can the Ministry of Revenue approves...

the funding that requested by Gao Xian?

Your Majesty...

if it was last year...

it would be hard for us to approve it.

But, this year, our income has improved.

The weather is good since the end of spring and we have enough income.

-Your Majesty... -We are going to start a war...

and the soldiers have to eat.

-Yes. -We have to have enough food.

Yes.

Gao Kun.

Yes.

Please come up with an accurate report for me.

You can't let the Western Regions Protectorate down...

at the same time, you can't empty the public purse.

Yes, your majesty.

Your highness...

The Gao Family in cahoots with each other today.

The ignored the people for the sake of their self-interest.

How can you endure it?

What is your opinion about today's incident?

Your highness...

After the destruction of Danchi, those that escaped...

to the western regions are the older and weaker people.

Do they need to use hundred thousand of soldiers to fight them?

Obviously, Gao Xian intended to pocket the money.

Or he has the intention to group the soldiers for his own interest.

We have to be careful with him.

You have seen it too.

There were still people of King Zhong fought with Gao Family in older days.

But, today you need to listen to Gao Family too, right?

You are planning to ignore everything?

Unless...

you have evidence that can show that he has other intention.

I will try my best to investigate with your order.

I won't be afraid.

I am leaving now.

Chen Yan greets your highness.

Ming Yue, have a seat.

What brings you here today?

I am willing to help your highness...

to defeat the Gao Family...

and to redress the injustice of Gu and Chen Family.

Ming Yue.

I am lucky. I have met your majesty twice.

Your majesty started to trust me.

If your majesty willing to help...

I can redress the injustice soon.

My father has met you?

Then, does he know your identity?

Your highness...

please don't promise her anything.

She is a woman...

and she doesn't know kungfu.

It was already a risk for her to meet your majesty.

If we dragged her into this...

Prime Minister Gao will definitely take revenge on her.

That's what I want.

Prime Minister Gao killed my mother...

and caused the death of my family members.

This has to come to an end.

Looks like you are determined to do this.

If I don't promise you today...

and rejected you...

you will still use the relationship between you and my father...

to continue your plan, right?

Yes.

Ming Yue...

if anything happened to you...

I will not be able to explain to your father.

I will explain to him.

I salute your braveness.

But, the tactics and tricks that Prime Minister Gao will use...

are out of your expectation.

Your father is not here now...

I will feel bad if anything happened to you too.

Your highness...

Prime Minister Gao has done many dirtier works...

apart from the case of Chan and Gu family...

which happened more than 10 years ago.

Your highness, everyone in afraid of Prime Minister Gao.

The examination case previously...

was also caused by the Gao Family.

If we didn't do anything to stop Gao Family harming the country...

the victims will be the people of Li Dynasty.

Your highness...

if someone has to sacrifice...

I am willing to be the one.

I salute your determination.

Cousin...

I know that you are puzzled...

why did I agree to Ming Yue.

I know your thoughts about me too.

You must be thinking that I am selfish.

You thought I can use everyone who are by my side....

to achieve my target....

right?

But, have you thought of...

if I don't agree with her...

and she take action alone...

she might be in greater danger.

If she discusses everything with me...

I will be able to take care of her and she will be safer.

Excuses!
