Wonderland of Love (乐游原)

=Wonderland of Love=

=Episode 17=

Come on.

You haven't recovered yet.

So, don't drink liquor.

It feels like a world away

when I think

about those days in Taiqing Palace.

It sure is.

Ying,

are you still angry with me?

What are you trying to do?

They're fighting.

It's just a lover's quarrel.

They'll make up after the fight.

Besides,

even if they fight,

will your Mister Shiqi

really lose?

Don't bother them.

Let's go.

Where to?

I'm a bit hungry.

How about we go and have some snacks

at Tang Confectionery?

I've always heard

their snacks

are famous in Dongdu.

They must be delicious.

I want to go and try.

Come, I'll take you there.

What are you doing?

Are your fingers better?

The chess pieces are ready.

My fingers will heal on their own.

You crafted a whole set of chess pieces

for your Young Master.

You even ignored

your injured fingers.

But you've never made

anything for me.

Who said I never made anything for you?

What did you make for me?

Did

you make this yourself?

I already started making it

when I was at Tong Pass.

I wanted to find the chance

to give it to you.

But then I realized

you're an ingrate

and refuse to help others in need.

I should just burn it.

You can't burn it.

If you're not angry...

As long as you're not angry,

even if you scold me

countless times a day,

I'll listen obediently.

Who wants to scold you?

Why don't I put it on and show you?

It's difficult to do with one hand.

Can you help me?

It's not tight enough.

Look at it.

Or else you're giving it away for nothing.

Let me see.

In the end,

we're foes, not friends.

When we meet again

after parting today,

I'm afraid it'll be on the battlefield,

fighting for our lives.

Shiqi,

take care.

Where's Ear?

He already passed out.

I pricked him a couple of times more.

He won't wake up for at least three days.

That's really ruthless.

You taught me well.

Excuse me! Sir!

Please take us to the other side!

The sooner, the better!

Hurry.

Lord Qin?

You were calling me?

Lord Qin, that was a great strategy.

I was just planning as I played along.

When I looked at the prescription

Taozi gave Chang'er that day,

I already suspected something.

As I suspected,

not only did you make contact

with the Cui Army through the apothecary,

but you also put up an act.

All to make Chang'er believed

that Taozi spoke well of me,

and you were really persuaded.

It was all to set up a meal

to prick me unconscious and escape.

So, you knew all along,

and you played along with us.

Well, I know you too well.

If I don't let you try to escape once,

how would you be content?

All right, then.

I'm taking you back

to your residence now.

Let's go.

Grand Governor,

the envoy we sent to the Cui Army

was whipped by Cui Yi

before being sent back here.

Cui Yi's temper

hasn't changed at all.

The vanguard of the Cui Army

has reached entrance of Jiuqu.

It seems they want to cross the river.

If Cui Yi crosses the river

and joins forces with Li Ni

to besiege and attack Xichang,

there would an unrest in the capital.

I'm afraid it might hinder the overall situation.

Grand Governor,

should we attack him while they were crossing

the river?

Cui Yi has always been cunning.

If he dares to cross the river from the entrance of Jiuqu,

he must have considered

the shallow waters.

Crossing the river is easy,

and so is being ambushed.

No,

he won't cross the river

from the entrance of Jiuqu.

He's probably creating a diversion.

Didn't Cui Yi's son

get intercepted and killed?

I don't think

he's targeting Xichang this time.

Let him cross the river.

Grand Governor,

if the Cui Army crosses the river and cooperates with Li Ni...

I said, let him cross the river.

If he dares to take the advantage

and attack Xichang,

then, I'll fight him to the death.

If he heads toward Luoyang,

I'll deploy the troops

to seize the opportunity and eliminate Li Ni.

Be careful, it's hot.

Taozi,

how is Lieutenant He's health?

Do you still need medicinal herbs?

Thanks to Your Highness,

we're not lacking in medicinal herbs.

I'm sure you know

your provocation

worsened the Lieutenant He's illness.

Now, that's bad.

How about I say something

to make her livid even more?

Due to the lesson from this time,

I've dispatched heavy troops

to surround Taiqing Palace inside and out

like an iron bucket.

I've also sent dozens of scouts

to watch every exit closely.

If you still want to escape,

I'll be nervous for you.

Lord Qin,

I believe you've planned thoroughly

and prepared for a surefire hit

in Xichang.

No matter how thorough the plan is,

there will be flaws.

How can we talk about being thorough

or ensuring a sure hit?

Since there isn't a thorough plan yet,

how about this?

I'll plan it for you,

kill Sun Jing,

and then you let me go.

How about that?

It's not worth it.

So, no.

I didn't expect you

to value me this much.
