The Legend of Hao Lan

Episode 24

After all is said and done, isn't it just a game.

Bribed the general guarding the door,

and then tell him to kill once he sees the handkerchief.

Then he lets himself

Use the handkerchief to write the suicide note.

The content of this desperate book

is naturally telling me

Even if they can't find me guilty,

they can still ruin my reputation.

You mad some good calculations.

Your highness.

You also keep trying to entice Haolan

but she didn't want to be a part of the plan,

So you though this maneuver, take away firewood from under the cauldron.

You are truly seeing a gap to put insert a needle.

Your highness.

I was wrong. I was temporarily blinded and

that's why I would end up doing something like this

Yun Chisu,

do you know why after all these years you can't make a comeback?

It's because you are dumb.

So dumb that you can not see Han Qiong Hua's trap.

It's also because you have no courage.

If I were you, I would have already killed Haolan.

After going in such a big circle

in the end you weren't able to protect yourself.

There is no cure for your stupidity.

You highness, your highess. I was wrong. Please spare me this time.

Please spare me this time.

Okay,

Go receive thirty lashes on your own. Scram it.

You're awake.

Xiaochun, it hurts. It hurts!

Xiaochun, I'm in pain.

Help me.

-It's okay now. -Xiaochun.

It's okay now, Haolan.

You have to thank the queen for being able to live.

The queen?

Consort Yun let you leave

Because the head commander at White Tiger Gate already received secret order.

To kill immediately when they see someone with the handkerchief.

So from the start,

she was planning to kill me.

She didn't want to kill you.

She extremely hates the queen.

Once you die, from your body

Recover the suicide note to incriminate the Queen.

Even if she can't be accused of murder,

it can still ruin her reputation as the queen.

After all, the King was only momentarily angry.

He doesn't really want your life.

Such a kind face.

Yet it is actually a vicious person.

Who told you not to turn against your own?

She can only have a dead person talk.

I understand now. The more pitiful sister Haolan is, the more the king's heart will ache.

Foolish girl, you finally understand now.

Foolish girl, you finally understand now.

But if the queen wants to save her,

why does she still have to flog me?

It's to show the outsiders.

The queen did this

It no only pardoned me but also awed the entire inner palace.

From now on, who else

dares to offend the dignity of the Queen.

Hoalan momentarily lack caution and implicated the Queen.

Ask your highness' forgiveness.

This matter, you really didn't handle it well.

Bring it up.

Ahzhao.

Look carefully. This is the servant Consort Yun planted.

She even dares to bite me.

Your highness, I am innocent.

Lady Li, you have to believe me!

I have never thought to harm you.

I have never secretly passed no news to Consort Yun.

I beg you! You have to believe me!

Someone is definitely trying to put the blame one me!

Yun Chisu, used a golden pearl

to buy your life.

How pitiful. Take her out and kill her.

-Yes. -Your highness! Your highness!

I did not do it!

Your highness! Please spare my life!

Qin Royal Descendant.

What are you doing?

Nothing. I will just looking.

Your zither is fixed. Do you want to try it?

Haolan, did you really not know about Consort Yun's plan?

I can't read the future.

Han Qionghua wanted to test Her Highness.

Her Highness deliberately acted as a warning.

The both of them were watching you closely.

I thought you would go along with the flow and used yourself as the bait

to lure the discontented person within the palace.

First, you completed the task assigned by Her Highness.

Second, His Majesty and Her Highness will protect you.

Han Qionghua, those two consorts won't able to be on time.

In the future, no one in the palace in the Zhao state

will dare to touch you. They need to be scrupulous about you.

Royal Descendant of Qin, you are thinking too much. I'm not that smart.

I really didn't know anything.

Consort Yun was whipped and couldn't get up from bed.

Consort Mei lost her trusted aide and is on a constant state of anxiety.

Frankly, I know that

you also deliberately let Consort Mei off the hook. Why?

It's already in the past. By the way,

Royal Descendant of Qin, when I was detained,

the sound of your zither was like a meandering stream

and an indulgent waterfall.

You didn't understand?

What's wrong?

At that time, I wanted to advise you that

danger is at your fingertips and not to trust anyone.

Little Kid Lian Po with courage of a mouse.

Besieged for many months and scared to fight.

Courage of a mouse, scared to fight!

Courage of a mouse, scared to fight!

Courage of a mouse, scared to fight!

Royal Father, ever since General Lian erected the Great Wall of Bai Li city,

he kept holding on to the rampart. No matter how the Qin army challenged him, he refuses to fight.

But if this continues, not only will the Qin army be depleted,

my army will be able to hold out for much longer too.

But I have already issued three military orders.

Lian Po keeps coming up with excuses that it's not the right timing

and rejected sending out the soldiers. I can't keep changing the general in the middle of this crisis.

Changing the general midway is a military taboo.

I think we should send an envoy now

to lobby the other states to provide military aid.

Fine, let's send more envoys

to various states to seek for help. End of court.

Royal Father, did you forget that Mount Mafu is being surrounded?

As a last resort, no one is willing to send out the soldiers.

Seeking help at this time, I fear it will be a wasted effort.

Tell me what I should do then.

Negotiate for peace with the people of Qin.

Peace negotiation?

This battle's been long drawn out.

The Qin attacked Hundred Li Stone City several times without success.

That shows Qin is very eager to finish off this battle.

There's hope if we were to negotiate a peace now.

Royal father, I was not being temperamental in I supporting that we continue battling Qin.

Think about it everyone, Qin State had used all their resources.

They are ferocious in their intent. Their goal is not only Changping.

Their real goal is Handang. They will not agree to a peace talk.

The two states are in a standstill, that give the chance for a peace talk.

Old General Lian in the front lines had been loosing one segment after another.

This is not the third defense line.

Once lost, then would be too late to send someone to Qin for peace negotiation.

Royal father, whether to negotiate or fight, we must make a decision. Can not delay any further.

Then who will go to QIn

for the peace talk?

Who is suitable to go?

Your highness, Qin is like the den of wolves and tigers. They don't speak with reason.

Going to QIn now will mostly likely lead to death.

Qin army is eagerly looking at us, would they agree to peace negotiations?

It's of no benefits, like speaking with a tiger.

Your highness, the minute we get there, our heads will fall off.

The loss outweighs the gain.

During normal times, each of you steer the kingdom.

With arrogance towering the sky, ordering about with your gestures.

Now it's time for your service,

Everyone of is scared by a mouse, full of misgivings.

What use do I have for you?

We are guilty.

Royal father, when were raising funds for the provisions, I recommended Lu Buwei.

This time, I will also recommend him.

Do you have some new moves?

Your highness, Lu Buwei is only a mere clerk.

Never been to other states.

Will be irregular and butt of a joke.

I believe that Prime Minster is accurate.

If we were really going to negotiate with QIn, then we should not slight it.

Master Lu is still young, can not handle such important mission.

Please select another person.

A mere merchant, peach negotiation is a major issue, it is not child's play.

He is only good at benefiting through debating, he doesn't have any political achievements.

To send him will be a lose of our demeanor.

Wind up letting Qin laugh that we have no one capable.

Then who can go? You ?

Or you, or you?

Lu Buwei is young and capable, intelligent and brave.

He also travelled to many countries, has good relations with Qin.

If he doesn't go, who will?

In that case Treasurer Lu does seem like a good candidate?

Your highness, I only understand business, do not understand negotiation.

He is only a merchant.

You don't need to worry about that, we will send a team of diplomats to assist you.

There are helpers.

Lu Buwei, the King had favored with many graces, now that the country is in trouble.

You don't want to consider repaying?

Your highness, I am willing to go.

But I beg for one request.

Allowed.
