Good Bye My Princess (Dong Gong / 东宫)

In the twenty-seventh year of Tiantong,

the country is in prosperity, its fortune abundant,

laws are strictly implemented, families and tribes are in harmony,

there is honest and cultured atmosphere, efficient governance and peaceful people,

there is just and dutiful officials, and good relationships with foreign states.

At this Shangyuan Festival,

we celebrate with all the people in the world.

We pay respect to the gods and ancestors above,

and pray for blessings of our citizens.

Hurry and look!

Fireworks!

Let me go, Li Chengyin! Let me go!

Fireworks...

Thank you, Your Imperial Majesty for your graces!

Thank you, Your Imperial Majesty!

Thank you, Your Imperial Majesty!

This is the first time that I find these fireworks pretty to look at.

I used to think it was too noisy and extravagant.

For a momentary sparkle,

too many efforts have to be spent. I thought it was very wasteful.

But now, I suddenly feel that

people really need a short moment of luxury.

Looking at sky full blooming flowers,

we could temporarily forget our pains.

Allow the heart's innermost happiness, no matter how little it is,

to be unleashed.

Xiaofeng!

Release the arrows!

Listen to me, Assassin, if you let her go now,

I'll let you leave safely. If you hurt my wife at all,

I will flay you into a thousand pieces, so that you'll die in pain.

I'll do as promised, just like this arrow!

I'm sorry.

Why are you saying sorry?

I've finally realized...

that here in Shangjing,

I've been living within a scam.

In this scam, I have been

in love with a liar.

Xiaowu, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't be hesitating up until now,

and not bear to part with this place.

Then, let me ask you again.

Are you willing to return to Xi State with me now?

Take me away quickly.

I don't want to stay here anymore.

Alright.

Golden money during time of peace! The Emperor's graces are so vast!

Long live His Imperial Majesty!

Long live His Imperial Majesty!

Long live His Imperial Majesty!

Long live His Imperial Majesty!

Long live His Imperial Majesty!

Long live His Imperial Majesty!

Long live His Imperial Majesty!

Long live His Imperial Majesty!

Imperial Father! Imperial Father!

I've discovered the Crown Princess Consort.

I plead that you close the gates and capture the assassin.

Today is Spring Lantern Festival. Doing that will cause panic among the people.

Imperial Father, if we don't shut the gates now, the assassin will run away with the Crown Princess Consort.

Trying to capture them after that is like looking for a needle in the sea.

Long live Your Imperial Majesty!

Long live Your Imperial Majesty!

Long live Your Imperial Majesty!

Long live Your Imperial Majesty!

Long live Your Imperial Majesty!

- Imperial Father! Hurry! - Your Imperial Highness.

Hurry, Imperial Father, return to the palace with Consort Gao.

Hurry!

Run!

There's fire! Run!

Hurry, Hurry!

Hurry!

Your Highness, go back to the palace with me!

- Let me go! - Don't go there.

- Your Highness! - My Lady!

Your Highness!

You, come with me.

Your Highness!

Xiaowu!

Xiaowu!

Xiaowu!

Xiaofeng!

Let me go!

Xiaofeng!

Xiaofeng!

Here.

Go back with me.

Xiaofeng.

Who are you?

I am Gu Xiaowu.

Gu Xiaowu, Gu Xiaowu.

Gu Xiaowu.

Xiaowu!

Grandpa!

I will kill you!

Xiaofeng!

Xiaofeng!

Who are you?

I wanted to ask who you are.

I am the Fifth Prince of Li Empire,

Li Chengyin.

Crown Princess, you are awake.

Are you feeling unwell somewhere?

Crown Princess.

Crown Princess!

Xiaofeng!

Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng, what's the matter?

It's me.

I am Chengyin.

Xiaofeng, Xiafeng, I am Chengyin.

I am Chengyin, Xiaofeng.

I am Chengyin.

Go away.

What's the matter?

I am Chengyin.

Xiaofeng, it's me, Chengyin.

Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng!

Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng.

Quick, get the royal physician! Hurry!

Qu Xiaofeng.

Why did you come back?

Why?

Why?

Imperial Father.

Not need for bows.

Thank you, Imperial Father.

Xiaofeng, the physician said you've been traumatized.

It's just a light wound on your head. It's not a big problem.

Don't worry.

Thank you, Imperial Father.

Xiaofeng, why did you suddenly appear at the Red Sparrow Gate?

The assassin took me there.

Why did he take you there?

Do you remember what he looks like?

You spent a few days with him. You don't recall his face?

He wore a mask all the time.

He didn't talk to me.

Where did you hide these days?

I am not sure.

Sometimes in the woods.

Other times in a rundown temple.

I don't know those places.

That assassin took you around many places,

but didn't hurt you.

What did he really want?

Xiaofeng, do you go to the Singing Jade Brothel often?

Have you heard about a man named Sun Er?

Sun Er?

No, I haven't.

Alright. You've had a hard time.

Rest well first.

If you think of anything, especial if it's about the assassin,

tell me immediately.

Thank you, Imperial Father. I understand.

Why are you still obsessed?

I'm not obsessed.

I've already thought it through clearly.

If you are really clear about it, then you should know

the Crown Princess doesn't belong to you.

It's true she doesn't belong to me,

and she doesn't belong to anyone.

She should return to Xi State and live a life like before.

What really belongs to me in this world?

I don't even belong to myself.

Godfather.

I've completed what I was supposed to do.

Please let me go.

What did you say?

Please release me and let me go.

Crown Prince, what do you think about what the Crown Princess said.

She's been through trauma, and her head got injured.

It's normal that she can't explain things in detail.

Besides, she doesn't have to

defend the assassin.

During Lanterns Festival, everyone knows that

the security at the Red Sparrow Gate is the strictest.

Why didn't the assassin choose another gate?

Why did he have to take such a great risk?

That assassin dared to break into the Singing Jade Brothel to assassinate,

I already thought it was particularly inexplicable.

Ad now, he dared to rush the Red Sparrow Gate.

He must have through he was invincible in martial arts,

and couldn't be stopped by regular guards.

It's truly suspicious.

If Gao Yuming really wanted to assassinate Mingyue,

there are actually hundreds and thousands of opportunities.

Why pick the time when I was there?

I he really wanted to assassinate me,

why did he

then give up the extraordinary opportunity?

How do you assess then, Imperial Father?

I am very confounded, too.

At any rate, that assassinate must not get away.

We also must find the plotter behind him.

Yes.

Do you know what you are saying?
