The Legend of Hao Lan

Episode 36

Elder Brother, the matter today, I didn't know it in advance.

I didn't expect that Royal Father would...

Brother Yi, since Royal Father had chose you as the heir, It is a good thing.

Even when I found out, I will be happy for Brother Yi.

You don't need to conceal it.

If it weren't for today's ceremony, the public wouldn't know that you are the future King of Zhao.

Elder Brother.

All right. You and I are both Royal Father's son.

Whomever he favors, whom he appoints as the Crown Prince. That's all his choice.

Elder Brother is sincerely happy for you.

From now on, I will counsel you well to become a good Crown Prince.

The two of us will help Royal Father banish worries and difficulties, make Zhao state prosper.

Elder Brother, you are not angry?

Brother Yi, in your mind, is your Elder Brother such a narrow minded person?

No.

All right, don't worry so. This is great news.

Tonight, I will bring fine wine to celebrate for you.

I have other matters to attend to, I will leave first.

Elder Brother, take care.

Prince is in a frustrated mood, why vent it on these objects?

Our alliance is already broken.

You saw me losing the Crown Prince position, you must be here to scoff at me.

Prince doing the work for other's reaping.

I am indeed sympathetic.

But at the bottom of it all, Zhao King passing the throne to Prince Yi.

Should blame that your high ability shaking the master.

What does that mean?

The Zhao King went to battle in person.

In less than one hour, his limbs were weak and he fell down the stairs.

Yet you steadfastly held on to the city wall.

Until the Qin army were beaten back.

The entire Handan city clearly saw.

Your reputation is already surpass Zhao King. How can he tolerate you anymore?

Lu Buwei.

You dare to instigate our father and son relations.

Prince.

Back then King Zhao Wu Ling, he was on expedition in a battle,

To avoid inner struggles, he pass on the throne earlier than expect to Prince He.

Give himself the title Father of Master.

Unfortunately within three years, King Zhao He's reputation grew so large that it threatened King Wu Lin.

That battle between father and son was immensely cruel.

Did you forget?

The current you is similar to that King Zhao He.

Don't mention being the Crown Prince.

Even one's life might be in danger.

Then you tell me, what should I do?

Don't forget, you still have a strong powerful supporter.

Start fighting, it's the best that you fight until the sky is upside down.

Red Sun Palace.

Royal Father, Elder Brother protected Handan for many years. His reputation is high.

He is the best suitable candidate for Crown Prince.

Please switch assigning him as the Crown Prince.

Since you brought in ten or so soldiers

yelling that you want to save your Royal Father from the rebels.

Since that time, I already made the decision to appoint you as the Crown Prince.

Absolutely should not done so.

That time that Prince Jiao was rebelling, Elder Brother also risk much to break out the palace.

To obtain the General Liang's reinforcements.

I didn't do anything. How can I claim credit?

That elder brother of yours.

He leave me in the palace and rush out.

Did you though he meant to seek reinforcements?

He was waiting for me to die.

So that he can use the excuse of banishing rebels.

He will bring the army into Handan.

I've observed for a long time.

You are a loyal and generous child.

You are the Zhao State Crown Prince that I want to appoint.

What wishes do you have? I will fulfill them for you.

Think about it thoroughly.

Royal Father, I do have one matter that is hidden inside me for many years.

Please support me on it.

- Mother, please back me up on this. - Rising Sun Palace.

Mother, it's my fault that my high reputation shaken the master.

Which caused royal father's dislike.

High reputation shaken the master ?

High reputation...shaken the master?

You rather regard yourself too highly.

He probably would not consider such small amount of contribution.

He scheme so hard to boost such a good-for-nothing as Crown Prince.

It's no more than because of that woman.

It's nothing.

I will take care of everything for you.

Much thanks to mother.

Your majesty.

Physician's Hall.

Physician's Hall.

Xiaochun.

What are you doing?

Xiao Chun.

Don't mind him. Keep going.

Get down.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Is it necessary to ask? I want to leave Handan.

Why?

You said you will not seek fortunes and glory.

Will go with me to the end of earth. But what about now?

You also know why I become the Crown Prince.

I just want to find the truth.

I don't understand.

You understand everything.

Only you know that I have nightmares every night.

Hears my mother calling and my younger sister's cries.

I don't want them to die in vain. I can't resign to it.

Therefore you should continue to be the Crown Prince.

I have enough of this endless fighting. I want to leave here.

I will not let you go.

Yi, you are no longer a child. You cannot be so headstrong.

It's not up to you, that I have follow your orders.

Xiaochun, we grew up together.

Childhood sweethearts, shared weal and woe.

Your are I and I am you.

We've never been apart. You also promised me.

Never leave me behind.

You will not bear doing that. Definitely will not.

Then you are wrong. I want to leave today.

No one can block me, even if you die in front of me.

I will not even blink once.

Xiaochun.

They are here to kill you, go quickly.

We have to go together. I will not leave you here.

Xiaochun.

Crown Prince, sorry we are late in saving you.

You are hurt?

Elder Brother.

He wants to kill me.

What are you saying?

My most beloved Royal Father.

He wants to kill me.

Elder Brother.

I do not understand what you are saying.

Xiaochun, come save him.

Save him.

It's not possible anymore.

Elder Brother.

Elder Brother, I really do not want to compete with you.

I really do not want to compete with you!

Compete?

Let's fight until dead bodies lay all over the fields, blood flows into rivers.

All rivers flow to the sea, you and I.

We are only other people's chess piece.

Elder Brother.

It is considered victory only if the golden cup passes the ear. Prince, you lose.

Yes.

I lost.

Elder Brother.

Elder brother.

The King commands that both of you return to palace.

Royal Father.

You are back.

Royal Father saved my life. If it wasn't for General Gao today,

I'm afraid my life would've perished outside of Handan.

I watched that little animal grow up.

I understand him. How are the rebels?

Replying to Your Majesty, all the rebels have surrendered.

Royal Father, I do not understand.

How did Elder Brother mobilize the army?

He couldn't mobilize but there is someone who could.

You didn't notice that those soldiers holding the arrows look familiar?

I... This...

Don't rush, you will understand soon.

I promise you to investigate the wrongful death of Consort Yuan. There are some leads.

Men, bring the person up.

Who is she?

She was once the best midwife in the palace.

After Consort Yuan's death, she disappeared.

I was commanded by Your Majesty to secretly investigate.

Finally, I found her half a month ago.

Midwife?

Speak! Did my mother really die of a difficult labor? Speak!

No, not a difficult labor.

It's Physician Yin. It's Physician Yin!

Everything was done by Physician Yin.

The culprit who killed Consort Yuan back then was Physician Yin.

Physician Yin?

Xiaochun, the Yin physician from back then was your father.

That's correct, Physician Yin is indeed her biological father.

Your Majesty, although my father was a high skilled physician, but he was still a man.

When a consort has a difficult birth and a physician is asked to hasten the birthing,

it's naturally a highly secretive matter. So, the less who knows the better.

What she said about seeing in person is a joke.

In addition, back then, Consort Yuan's servant died.

Would she be allowed to live?

Therefore, this woman is a tool you brought in to test me.

Yi'er, do you understand?

This is equivalent to her admitting.

Yin Xiaochun, you seem so confident. You must know all the details.

Xiaochun, if you already know, why didn't you tell me?

Yin Xiaochun comes from an influential family with generations of physicians.

She acquired knowledge of hundreds of medicinal plants since the age of five, and is known as a child prodigy.

Chief Physician Yin always kept her by his side.

But, she has never told you about it even though it is such an important matter.

Why is that so?

There is only one possibility.
