The Legend of Hao Lan (Mou Qin / 皓镧传)

Useless creature!

Men,

drag the Princess to the prison!

Mother,

Mother!

Mother,

Mother, you cannot treat me like this.

Listen to me well - Mother!

Immediately execute those

who are of the same party with Prince Jiao,

Father.

Search the entire palace.

Yes.

My Lady,

I still need to count on you at key moments.

It's I who was late.

I heard that there are shakeups in palace.

Thus, I immediately had men sent.

But I am still late,

causing the King some shock and anxiety.

If it wasn't for Your Lady's foresight,

my life would be gone by now.

Why would I blame you?

I am tired.

Please escort the King back to his bedchamber.

Her Highness actually has such an amazing troop of soldiers.

Xiaochun,

are you all right?

Fine.

You are hurt?

I will take you to have it bandaged.

It's all right.

Let's go.

Check over there.

You are more callous than before.

I gave up on you once.

and you've entrapped me once.

But after such twist and turn,

we meet again.

You and I are destined.

Why do you look at me like that?

Looking at a traitor,

should I be full of loving gaze?

Traitor?

Why should you call me that?

That year when my mother lost favor,

everyone can step on us.

When I was seriously sick,

No doctor took a look at me.

Mother held the feverish me,

kneeling in the middle of a carriage road.

I beg you.

She was given twenty canes.

I beg you.

I beg you.

before she was allowed to speak.

She asked Her Highness to save me,

and let me live.

Do you know what Her Highness replied?!

Her Highness doesn't like weak people.

Her life never had these words, kindness and mercy.

You've lived.

Then your mother...

You really do understand her.

Her Highness only said

she wants a son.

That night,

my mother killed herself.

From that day on,

Her Highness became my protector.

Power,

Ambition

had been deeply engraved into blood and bones.

Because all of this

were exchanged from my mother's life.

Even if everyone yells at me.

I still must get the throne of the Zhao state!

Only this way

will I not let down my entire life.

Do you understand?

It's a shame you failed.

You are fated to receive nothing.

Release me.

I still have you.

You can accompany me to death.

I wouldn't be lonely

on the road to the underworld.

Release me.

You tell me.

Was I wrong?

How did you understand the secret message that Yin Xiaochun left for you?

Xiaochun is very smart.

On the table, she deliberately left four types of herbal medicines,

which literally translates into Jiu Fu Zhi Xian.

Showing the intention of His Majesty to deliver the secret.

For this strange method,

can regular people understand it?

Unless she usually teaches me herbal names with verses,

I wouldn't understand it either.

Fortunately

all of this ended.

No,

this is only the beginning.

I was the one who gave Prince Jiao a little push.

Lyu Buwei,

what are you truly going to do?

I want Zhao State to become chaotic.

I want Ying Yiren to return to Qin.

I also want you

to become the Queen of Qin.

Where are you going?

Going to look for my husband.

You wait and see.

Everything I said

will be realized soon.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother, you are here.

Hurry up and tell royal father to let me go.

I don't want to be imprisoned here.

You royal father had a decree.

Commanding you to...

commit suicide.

But...

But...

I am your only daughter.

You cannot kill me.

Mother.

But you participated in the foolish overthrow.

You threatened his throne.

Most importantly

you failed.

That isn’t the case.

Mother,

I was threatened by elder brother.

I was forced to.

Mother,

you cannot kill me.

I am your only daughter.

I do not want to die.

Mother.

Too late.

The thing about a coup is...

Either you don't do it.

Or else,

if you do it,

you must make it!

Look at the two of you.

First you let Prince Yu go.

Also let your royal father send out a secret message.

The two of you knuckleheads.

Wished to take the throne?

How could such a good thing occur

in the world?

One mistake after another.

Look at you.

Look.

There's no one bit like me.

Utterly foolish.

Why did I become like this?

Isn't it because of you?

Because my mother

is a cold hearted woman.

She is an unfeeling mother.

When I was five years old,

I wanted to hug you,

to feel the warmth of a mother.

But you yelled at me saying it was manner less.

When I was seven,

you killed my wet nurse.

Only because she momentarily forgot

and kissed my face.

You forbid me to love other people.

Even forbid me to love you.

All right.

As you wished.

After seven,

no one ever held me.

No one gave me

even a tiny bit of body warmth.

Therefore

you begged for Qin Royal Descendant's love?

That is not begging.

That is defence,

It's plunder.

It's possession.

Besides

all of this I learned from you.

It's only because I was so young,

that I will lose so utterly.

Next life,

I only want a gentle mother.

Even if born in a poor family.

I do not want to be your daughter again.

Mother.

Xia Xue.

Did Princess treat you well

during regular times?

I will ask people to

take good care of your family.
