The Legend of Hao Lan (Mou Qin / 皓镧传)

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 die!

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

is too heavy for me to 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.

You…

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 foretell with miraculous accuracy.

Once you release the news,

Gao Haoyang came to rescue Yin Xiaochun straight away.

The King punished him with fifty canings.

and expelled him from the palace.

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

How’s the plan now?

All is completed.

But...

since the banquet last time,

his majesty always ask someone to test for poison.

Lyu Zhu is worried...

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

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 tell you to 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, with one command,

the entire palace

will be

captured like the object in the bag.

Lyu Zhu will be sure to do all I can

to help Your Highness achieve your desire.

Royal Descendant,

His Majesty invites you 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 His Majesty's instructions,

both of you must attend.

I dare not disobey.

But it takes time to dress up,

I hope you would be willing to wait a while.

Sure, sure.

I shall wait outside.

Let's go.

Haolan.

Yiren.

Looks like this time,

I won’t 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 trust me too.

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 stamped 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 happens,

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 has to come.

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 one to toast Your Highness first.

Come,

everyone.

Let's drink till we're drunk.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Yiren.

My Lady, you usually can't hold the liquor.

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 should we be like this?

That was such a great time.

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

We had each other,

with harmony, and happiness.

But you had to lift me,

a neglected prince,

to this throne.

I haven't been happy

ever since I became the 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.

Lyu Zhu,

don't you have a special talent?

Come, perform for us.

Let everyone enjoy the show.

Yes.
