Wonderland of Love (乐游原)

=Wonderland of Love=

=Episode 35=

Let me help you.

No need.

Later, you should have something before sleeping.

You mustn't starve yourself.

Taozi will deliver the dessert later.

Remember to have some.

Crown Prince,

Crown Princess,

Lady Gu

is here to greet you two.

Tell her to go back.

Tell her that I'm unwell.

Yes.

Wait.

I almost forgot

there's also Lady Gu

in Eastern Palace.

Invite her in.

Yes, Your Highness.

Greetings, Crown Prince,

Crown Princess.

Spare the formalities.

Yes, Your Highness.

I should've greeted

both of you

early in the morning.

However, I was thinking

that you two went to

Fengzhang Hall to greet

His Majesty and Her Highness this morning.

That's why I only came now.

I'll definitely come by dawn tomorrow

to serve Your Highness.

No need for that.

I don't wake up that early.

And, there are plenty of servants here.

You don't need to come here and serve me.

Yes.

I made a mandarin duck painting

to congratulate both of you

on your wedding.

Not bad.

Your Highness, you flatter me.

I was delighted

ever since I heard about

His Highness' wedding.

First, I was lucky enough

to be one of your old acquaintances.

Your Highness, you're intelligent and straightforward.

You're not as indecisive as ordinary girls.

Second, His Highness is happy

that you're the crown princess.

Naturally, that makes me happy too.

I feel like there's a backbone now.

Lady Gu, you did a great job

with the mandarin duck painting.

Coincidentally,

I lack a folding screen.

Please make a huge folding screen for me.

It's no trouble for you, right?

Your Highness, you're too courteous.

Not at all.

It's my fortune that you took a liking to my embroidery.

Great.

I'm exhausted.

You may go back and rest.

Yes.

I will come here again

and greet you tomorrow.

You don't need to come tomorrow.

Since the crown princess likes your work,

you should finish it as soon as possible.

Yes.

Why not get changed before sleeping?

I'm sure the crown princess did it on purpose.

Why would anyone take a nap this early in the day?

She knew

that our lady

must greet her

and His Highness today.

She's disregarding you on purpose.

She even told you to make a folding screen.

It's a huge item.

How long does it take to finish it?

The worst thing is

that His Highness was also siding with her.

Shut up!

Who are you to complain about His Highness?

The crown princess is the lone daughter of Great General Cui.

She has an arrogant demeanor.

She's not willing to wake up even when it's dawn.

I have no idea

what time she slept and woke up

when she was serving in the military.

It's obviously a set of excuses.

She just didn't want to see me.

Since she didn't want to see me,

that means she minds my presence.

Since she minds my presence,

I have to show up

in front of her more often.

I'll make her remember

that there's a lady of excellence

besides the crown princess

in Eastern Palace.

Your Highness.

You may go now.

The dessert is here.

Taozi just delivered it.

Take a sip.

Shiqi,

Great General Cui spends his time here every day.

Great General Cui.

Were you guys calling for me?

Who are you guys?

Look.

This terrain is pretty strategic.

What should we do if our enemies

invade the bend?

It depends on our numbers and our enemies' numbers.

If we're equal in strength,

naturally, I would arrange archers to set up an ambush there.

If our enemies outnumber us,

I'll set up a bramble trap here

and arrange archers on both sides.

If we outnumber our enemies,

we'll attack them from the center.

You're right.

It's rare

to see a young talent like you

in Cui Army.

Tell me your name.

I'll promote you to the rank of captain in the future.

Remember to render merit.

You have a bright future ahead of you.

Great General,

my name is Li Ni.

That sounds familiar.

But I can't remember anything.

I think

I've seen you before as well.

But I can't remember.

Young Lady,

I give Great General acupuncture treatment and medicine every day.

Although he's more clear-headed now,

he still can't remember

most of the things.

Father is mentally troubled.

I'm afraid acupuncture treatment and medicine alone

cannot cure his condition.

We have to come up with other methods.

I'll read more medical books

when I get back.

I'll see if there are any treatments

I haven't tried yet.

What's wrong?

What is it?

Just tell me about it.

I received news from the Court of Judicial Review.

Due to his serious injuries

and the cold and fever

he had been sustaining

all along,

Liu Chengfeng died last night.

He died?

When you were getting married to His Highness,

His Majesty intended to spare all from their punishment.

The Court of Judicial Review thought

that Liu Chengfeng was going to be spared too.

Therefore, they transferred him

to the prison

from his single cell.

However,

one of the criminals

caught typhoid fever.

And, he infected it to the others.

Liu Chengfeng was infected too.

He died after that.

Where is his body then?

As it was a case of typhoid fever,

Court of Judicial Review dare not cover it up.

They set fire to his body

and several others

and burned them to ashes.

They buried them at the mass grave.

I see.
