The Legend of Hao Lan

Episode 32

Prince, how can you be so drunk and still want to see His Majesty?

Stop!

Prince, go ahead. I'm staying behind.

Stop!

Are you about to betray me?

If you go and look for Elder Brother, I will kill you immediately!

Prince, Prince Jiao and I are now bitter enemies and will not cease unless he is dead.

Even if I want to cross over to his side, do you think he would be willing?

To tell you the truth, I'm going to Protect Peace Palace to get Haolan.

There are countless women everywhere, why do you care about this woman?

It's better for you to leave with me. I will not treat you badly.

This is bad! This is an imposter! Hurry, search!

It seems they have already discovered that he is an imposter.

Prince, leave quickly. Hurry and go look for General Lian Po.

Take care!

Princess, we have been on a wild-goose chase.

The palace maid said Li Haolan has gone to the Rising Sun Palace . But, over there...

It's just right. I have to go and greet my mother in person.

Let's go.

Haolan, why are you here?

I'm here in a rush due to an unforeseen circumstance.

Today, Royal Descendant was summoned by Princess. It's been a long time and he has not returned.

Are you referring to Princess Ya?

I think it is not a simple matter.

In the qin tune that Royal Descendant played, it appeared to contain a faint hint of retention by force.

General Gongsun has gone to specifically check on it, but he seems to have disappeared.

I'm afraid a huge matter is about to happen within the palace.

Are you sure?

I would't dare to lie to Your Highness.

What are all of you doing here?!

Ya'er, what are you doing now?

An armed rebellion has taken place within the palace.

I... Have led some soldiers here for protection.

How dare you go so far as to even disturb me?

You are absolutely reckless!

Mother, it's an extraordinary time.

I have no other option but to cause you some inconvenience.

I request you to endure it for a while.

At dawn tomorrow, you will understand.

It's good that you are here.

It saves me from making another trip.

- Take her away! - Yes.

What are you trying to do?

I will take my leave and go now.

Ya'er!

Mother, what other instructions do you still have for me?

What exactly do you intend to do?

You are just like anyone else.

All along, you have no regard for me.

All along, you have been treating me as a child who would never grow up.

But, today, I want to tell you that you are wrong.

I will prove to you personally.

Whatever I want, I will seize it with my own capability and effort!

I really do want to see how you are going to prove it.

Over there! Hurry, chase!

Hurry! Over there!

- Who's that? - I–

Hurry. Let's get out of the palace!

- Protect Prince! - Yes!

Attack!

Royal Father, it's time for your medicine.

Royal Mother.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, what's happening?

What did you dream of?

Come, Physician Yin.

That was a nightmare.

His Majesty is suffering from pain due to the swelling on the side of his stomach.

It made him unable to rest well.

He also suffers from headaches often.

This is a sign of a lack of mental rest and nutrition.

Keep on talking.

Your illness is due to a deep-rooted problem.

Even if you were to consume more prescribed medication, it would be in vain.

I have already said this many times.

If you do not relax your mind and calm down, your illness will become worse.

Prince, what is your intent in leading an army at this late hour?

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, something bad is happening! Your Majesty!

Prince Jiao, he...

Led an army and has crashed into the Rising Sun Palace !

Search!

Unfilial son!

What do you intend to do by leading an army into the palace at this late hour?

Royal Father, please forgive me.

I was just on an inspection round with the soldiers when I discovered an assassin has broken in.

I have no other option but to do this in order to protect you, Royal Father.

Search meticulously!

Assassin?

Where is there any assassin inside the Red Sun Palace ?

I think...

Prince, you are scheming to rebel!

Physician Yin, I don't want to taint the Red Sun Palace with blood.

It's better for you to shut up!

What are you doing now?

Princess, where do you intend to bring me to?

What do you think?

If you want to kill me, you would have already done so earlier.

Princess, you are trying to make use of me to threaten Royal Descendant to obey your order.

You have always been rather intelligent.

You did help me out during that incident at Mount Mafu.

I also do respect you a lot.

Originally, we could be good friends.

But, you are overreaching in trying to compete with me for Royal Descendant.

Was that laughable?

Princess, if a man is unwilling to love you, that's his liberty.

Would he love you even if you kill your love rival?

What logic is this?

Look at you.

How naive you are!

Brothers who vie for the throne are similarly doing so by killing one another.

It doesn't matter if it is for love or power.

In order to hold it tightly in one's hands,

one has to take every means possible to defeat the competitor.

The rule of competition in the world is if you agree to bet, you must agree to pay.

Princess has put on me all the resentment you felt for the love that you've lost.

This is just because you refused to admit that you're defeated.

You're using this as an opportunity to look for someone to vent your anger on.

You are fully aware that it has never been for me to decide whether

Qin Royal Descendant loves you or not.

You're forcing me to kill you? No so easy.

But I have a better solution.

For example, destroy your face.

- Master, over here. Quickly! - Let's go!

- After them! - Quickly!

Quick.

Master, let's make a dash for it.

We can't. They have already sealed the four palace gates. We can't get out of here.

But they're almost catching up with us!

Lü Buwei, please go first. When you get out of the palace, go and look for reinforcement.

Go quickly.

Did you hear me? It is my life that Princess Ya wants.

As long as you leave the palace quickly, there is still a chance for survival.

Go!

Do not hesitate anymore. Go!

Are you going to stay behind to be buried with Qin Royal Descendant if I left?

Keep on dreaming. For all the efforts that I've exerted, I must be recompensed.

Don't hope that you can ever return to me all that you owed me. I will not allow it.

What situation are we in right now? You're really crazy!

Master, please take Sister Haolan and leave first. I will lure them away.

No, we can't abandon Yue by herself.

What's the situation now? Both of you go quickly! I beg you!

- Go! Quickly go! - Yue!

Lü Buwei, we can't abandon Yue by herself!

Let's go!

Haolan!

There she is!

Haolan.

Lü Buwei.

I'm pregnant.

It's hurting.

Don't worry. I'm here.

I'll bring you to Yin Xiaochun. You will be alright.

Stop!

Tell me, where have Lü Buwei and Li Haolan gone to?

You...

...are so pitiful.

You...

Why are there such stupid people in the world?

She actually sacrificed herself for others. Who is the one to be pitied?

Princess, there's an incident in Red Sun Palace.

You will stay behind to continue searching. If you catch them, kill them on the spot.

The rest of you go with me to the Red Sun Palace.

Yes.

Princess, we're unable to get anything.

You are not searching for the assassin, but my Tiger Seal of Command.

Since Royal Father already knows about it, you should tell me where the Tiger Seal of Command is kept.

Without the Tiger Seal, you're unable to mobilize the army stationed outside the city.

How long can you maintain based just on these small number of rebels?

Since Royal Father knows how important the Tiger Seal is to me, then you should not test my patience.

How could you even dare to kill your own father?

Of course, I'm unwilling to kill you as long as you give up the Tiger Seal.

I will leave this Red Sun Palace to you, for you to live out your natural life span.

What if I refuse?

If you are unwilling,

then you can only bury the bodies of these two stepmothers first.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, save me!

Prince Jiao, you're ambitious and strive for power and position. This is traitorous.

The Heaven will surely punish you!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Ya'er, why have you join him as well?

Have I not treated you well? Why are you doing this?

Royal Father is good to me.

But I heard that Royal Father sent people to the State of Chu to discuss the matter of marriage alliance.

The Prince of Chu of that year has already become the King of Chu now.

Unfortunately, he has already married his official wife.

But, the envoy whom you sent has shamelessly said that you are willing to allow me to be the concubine.

Since you have already sold me away, why are you still putting up a show of being an affectionate father? This is really nauseating.

This is all for the sake of Zhao State!

You dote on beautify women and disregard the country.

This caused Changping to suffer a terrible defeat and the commoners lament in sorrow. Is this also for Zhao State?

I'm asking you again, where is the Tiger Seal?

I don't know.

Don't know?
