The Legend of Haolan

Episode 37

Open the door!

Yin Xiaochun, the Emperor wants to see you.

Hurry up!

Where are you taking me? Where? Let go of me!

If you stay, you'll die!

It's none of your business.

I can't just watch you go to your death!

Gao Haoyang, I feel grateful toward you,

but I have to pay for what I owe. A murderer is destined to be executed.

You don't owe anything to anyone!

You don't understand.

This heavy burden that I am carrying, its pressing on me so hard that

I almost can't breathe anymore.

Now it's actually a relief.

I no longer need to pretend or have any apprehension.

You should let me be.

But what is more important than a human life. That's also what you said to me before.

This path was chosen by me.

Since I chose it...

I will not regret it.

Xiaochun, you should go. Go with me now!

I won't go.

Gao Haoyang, how dare you!

Prince, if you truly love Xiaochun.

Then let her go this one time.

The Xiaochun that I loved is dead.

Take all of them down.

Your majesty, you fortell with miraculous accuracy. Rising Sun Palace.

Once you release the news, Gao Haoyang came to rescue Yin Xiaochun straight away.

The King punished him with fifty canings. Expel from the palace.

Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman.

How was the matter that I asked you to take care of?

All is completed.

But...since the banquet last time.

Your majesty always ask someone to test for poison. Lu Zhu is worry...

There are plenty of exotic and odd poisons.

How many kinds can the silver needle detect?

Many things are normally not harmful.

But when two items are combined only then poison will be released.

For the banquet tonight, I already put inside the wine,

Cloves that I refined ahead of time.

As fragrance wafts about, one get intoxicated.

Clove?

Didn't I told you put turmeric roots in the deer's feeds?

Yes.

After drinking cloves, then eat some turmeric root.

Even a fierce tiger will get completely paralyzed.

But Your Highness you will also...

I will drink the antidote beforehand. During that time, in one command,

the entire palace.

Will be captured like the object in the bag.

Lu Zhu will be sure to do all I can to help Your Highness achieve your desire.

Royal Descendant, your majesty invites to attend the banquet.

Take good care of Zheng'er.

Yes.

Go quickly.

Please forgive me, Madam Royal Descendant's presence is also requested at the banquet this time.

Zheng'er experienced shock and fear when he fell in the lake.

As the mother, she ought to stay and care for him.

Let's go, don't cause any delay.

Per your majesty's instructions, must invite both of you to attend.

I dare not disobey.

A woman needs time to dress up.

I hope the enovy would be willing to wait a while.

Dare not rush you. I shall wait outside.

Let's go.

Haolan.

Yiren.

Looks like this time, I will not be able to accompany you.

No, I will not leave the two of you behind.

Going forward by myself.

For my sake, please return to Qin State.

I can find another opportunity.

Don't let an opportunity slip as it may never come again.

Yiren, I believe in you.

Please you should also trust me. I will take good care of Zheng'er.

If you really are considerate of us.

Then you should turn around and go without hesitation.

When you have stamp out all the obstructions.

Then fittingly and properly take us back to Qin.

I know this process will be very challenging.

But regardless of what happends, you should always remember.

I am waiting for you.

Yiren, Zheng'er and I will always wait for you.

There surely will come a time for the reunion. No need to be reluctant to part.

Don't worry, once matters are finished, we will immediately come get you.

Royal Descendant, time to go.

Wait for me to come get the both of you.

- Congratulations, Your Highness. - That way.

Yes.

Haolan!

-Your Highness! -Your Highness!

Royal Descendant, what's the matter?

Our son fell into the water and couldn't stop crying.

The Royal Descendant is not feeling too well after taking care of our son through the night,

so he would have wanted to rest up for the day.

But since today is the Imperial Banquet, he obviously needs to attend.

Yiren.

Your Majesty and Your Highness, may you enjoy health, happiness, and fortune

for a thousand years.

Yi'er,

I would like to congratulate you on becoming the Crown Prince.

Please accept this drink from me.

I should be the on to toast Your Highness first.

Come, everyone. Let's drink till we're drunk.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Yiren.

Queen, you usually can't hold your alcohol. Why are you drinking so much today?

It's not good for your health.

Your Majesty, do you remember what you said to me

the first time we met?

That was such a long time ago,

and I am not too good remembering

what happened in the past.

So what did I say then?

You said, whose daughter is that?

Why is she staring at me?

I do remember now;

you kept staring at me then.

Now, I'm the one staring at you.

Why so much trouble?

That was such a great time.

You weren't the king, and I wasn't the queen.

We had each other, harmony, and happiness.

But you had to make me, a neglected prince,

to this throne.

I haven't been happy ever since I became king.

Your Majesty, haven't I done everything just for you?

I will always remember all that you did for me.

You know everything I did,

I did it for you.

You know it's all for you.

Lu Zhu, don't you have a special talent?

Come, perform for us.

Let everyone enjoy the show.

Yes.

Yiren.

Yiren.

Excellent blade skill.

I have never seen such unique skill.

This is delicious.

- Reward granted. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

Good.

- Good. - Good.

Yiren!

You finally made your move.

Royal Father.

Save the king.

You slut, I underestimated you.

Aren't you the same?

Always suspicious of me.

You've been acting in front of me. You think I didn't know?

Yes, I have been acting.

You have been, too. We understand each other,

that's why we became husband and wife.

You say I am as venomous as a snake,

you must mean that I killed Consort Yuan.

I didn't just Consort Yuan, I also killed Consort Mei.

Concubines Liu and Liu were also killed by me.

I also killed Minister Meng.

- Too many to count. - What about Xiaochun?

Your Highness, don't you understand yet?

Xiaochun would rather die than tell the truth because she was threatened by the queen.

She forced the Yin family to do her biddings.

Your Majesty, you are so smart you should have known.

But You've always tolerated me

because you loved me.

You can kill everyone in the country,

I still would not love you.

I killed Consort Yuan

because her clan

abused their power to sell government positions for profit.

I killed Concubine Sung because she was a spy for Wei State

to steal military secrets. I killed Concubine Yuan because

she always naively

pushed me too much.

As for Minister Meng?

I really can't remember how he died.

Such a heartless lethal woman.

You probably have forgotten about years ago when all the princess fought for the throne,

I overcame all the difficulties and helped you win the throne with my life.

I even killed your opponents to secure your throne.

I was willing to have blood on my hands and bones beneath my footsteps.

At that time, you didn't think I was

unkind, without grace,

not suitable. On the contrary, you complimented me.

You said I was smart and knew how to win.

You swore that you would never betray me.

I would be the only one you favored.

Now, I am the queen. You think I am cruel

just to kill a lowly woman.

Why?

You are the most vicious woman

I have ever seen.

As a husband, you betray love and loyalty.

As a king, you do not honor your promise.
