The Legend of Hao Lan

Episode 16

Go in!

Why are you here? Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

Let me have a look!

- Let me have a look! - Don't touch me!

Aren't you here to save me?

I was caught while trying to run away.

I am not here for you, so don't make up stories about how I like you.

Really?

Why are you laughing?

I am laughing because you don't act like a man.

You are always so secretive and cautious,

acting as if you are the most extraordinary person. Do you really think I can't live without you?

Say it again, Li Haolan.

I told you a long time ago, I am not a woman who will only say yes to you or submit to your demands.

Did I beg for your love? Did I ask you to come and save me?

Are you afraid that I would linger around you and interfere with the pursuit of your grand ambitions?

You should just change your name from Lu Buwei to Lu the Coward.

Why are you glaring at me?

Am I wrong?

Glaring at me doesn't make you right.

You are a man brave enough to rescue the Qin prisoner, and stab a hole in the sky.

Why is it so difficult for you to confess your feelings?

They imprison us together in the same room;

it is obvious that they plan to sentence us to death without any specific reason.

So are you really too scared to tell me the truth even though you are going to die?

Shut up.

I won't. What can you do?

I told you to shut up.

No!

Lu Buwei.

I am here to save you,

and you just yelled at me.

You abandoned me first!

I got injured and almost died while trying to save you.

And this is how you treat the one you love?

Didn't you just say that I was making up stories about you liking me?

Let me see your injury.

You apologize to me first.

Even if I am confined, I cannot be untruthful to myself.

Apologize.

I'm sorry.

Hurry and let me see!

Greetings to Royal Mother.

Your Royal Father has been ill.

Yet you two have been too busy to show your face. Is this really right?

We are wrong.

Mother, Lu Buwei charged into the prison trying to save Li Haolan.

Whether Haolan is the murderer or not, Older Brother is too reckless.

Why do you try to protect Lu Buwei all the time?

What did he give you to make you try so hard to cover for him?

I think Older Brother has private matters against him.

That's why you try to drag him into the issue again and again.

Mother, Haolan attempted to assassinate Royal Father, and Lu Buwei attempting to rescue an assassin are all crimes punishable by death

Please send order for their death penalty immediately.

Haolan is the person your Royal Father loves.

Your Royal Father hasn't woken, yet you are so eager for her penalty. Is that right?

But, she tried to assassinate Royal Father. The evidence is there!

Even so, we must still wait until your Royal Father wakes up.

- Your Highness is clever. - But-

It's all right. Let's imprison her first.

We'll speak of it when your Royal Father is better.

Mother.

Yes ma'am. I take my leave.

I take my leave.

Lu Buwei is really a smart person.

I really thought you hid within the wooden barrel.

So that's why I fiercely protected it. Who knew that it was Gongsun Qian in the barrel!

Even I didn't know about it beforehand.

I caused you trouble. Please forgive me.

It's all right. If more people know about it, the more dangerous the plan will be.

It's because you tried to stop me that we were able to safely arrive at the gate.

In the end, it was still all for naught.

Even if you don't say anything, I know what you're thinking of.

Ya Er is very detail oriented.

I'm guessing she found something.

Everything has passed already. Let's not talk about it anymore.

Just now, I wanted to use finding a doctor as excuse to find Ye Xiaochun.

Who knew that she disappeared.

After Haolan had trouble, she's been on the run.

I am worried that her disappearance is related to Haolan.

This doesn't only concern Haolan, but the lives of all my family.

Rest assured, I'm going to look immediately.

What? Yin Xiaochun and Gao Haoyang are both missing?

The workers discovered that they both disappeared after clearing out the big fire.

Now that you mention it, it was weird how the big fire started.

It was probable Lü Buwei that started the fire to divert attention.

Think before you speak.

Deliberately using the waste cart as a front and setting fire to his own office.

Is he an idiot?

This Yin Xiaochun was jumping up and down.

It probably has something to do with her.

Search. Search the whole MaFu mountain for them.

I will go immediately.

Wait.

What other orders do you have, Your Highness?

If you find Gao Haoyang, bring him back safely.

If you find Ying Xiaochun, kill her immediately.

Yes.

What are you planning to do?

If you keep moving, the poison will go to your heart. I won't be able to treat it then.

That was powder to lure snakes.

You want to kill me and than save me. Are you crazy?

The lineage of the Yin family are all doctors.

It's not possible for us to see someone dying and not save them.

Even if you are a murderer, I have to save you before you are executed.

You are a dedicated physician.

Why are you helping Li Haolan? What benefits can she give you?

It's good and evil. Is it wrong to differentiate between black and white?

What kind of nonsense is that?

I forgot, only humans can differentiate between black and white. Animals can not.

Even if I am hurt, I can still kill you.

Don't act rashly. Be careful as the sword doesn't has any eyes.

I have followed my father to war since young, my sword has killed countless of people.

It's contaminated with blood, aren't you afraid?

I have stuck my needles into countless of patients deep into their hearts, livers, kidneys, lungs and spleens. I'm not afraid of that.

Why would I be scared of a sword?

What are you hiding?

Who is there?

General Longxiang!

Save me! Your Highness, save me! I am Yin Xiaochun.

Yin Xiaochun, get on the horse. Hurry!

General, we finally found you.

-Capture her! -No need to capture her.

Singing Phoenix Palace

The king is awake.

Your majesty, you're awake.

Haolan...

Haolan...

Physician Wang, how come the king can not talk?

Your highness, please stay calm. As I have said,

Physician Yin's cool medication is too strong. It's hindering His Majesty's health.

After two more dosages of medicine, he will be better.

When they are talking, everyone sounds better than the others.

When we actually have to use it, it's all useless!

Your Highness, please do not be angry.

Mother, we can't keep this matter about the assassin in suspension.

The people in the palace are restless. Since father is already awake,

Mother, you have to hurry and make a decision.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Since father is like this, even if we cut the assassin in thousands of pieces

it can not dissolve my hatred.

Okay, bring me Li Haolan and Lü Buwei. I will interrogate them myself.

-Hurry and go! -Yes.

Speak.

What happened that night?

Your highness, that night when I entered the room

I ran into the assassin.

I screamed for help and the assassin escaped out the window.

In order to save His Majesty, I used his scarf to bandage his neck.

At that moment, General Gao arrived with his soldiers and that caused a misunderstanding.

Gao Haoyang?

Where is Gao Haoyang?

Yesterday night, General Gao went to investigate the big fire and has not return yet.

Your highness, I was with General Gao last night

and saw that Lady Li wanted to kill the king.

I have already said that I was trying to save the kind.

You said the assassin escaped through the window.

We searched the whole palace. How come we have not found a trace of the assassin?

It's you who killed Royal Father and you are confusing everyone!

The assassin was dressed like a soldier.

It was chaotic that night.

As long as he blended in with the soldiers that were searching, he would have been able to safely escape.

Then why were you the only person to see him that night? Not a second person?

There was.

The king is a witness.

Royal Father favored you very much.

You and Lu Buwei colluded as traitors and concocted a plot.

Prince, you speak without any evidence. Don't make slanderous charges.

I have the evidence.

Let me ask you. Before Li Haolan entered the palace, was she a dancer at your manor?

Not only did Li Haolan entered the Lu manor, she also entered the Prime Minister's manor.

Are you also saying that we colluded with the Prime Minister too?

When she entered the palace, you did the same. What is that?

I dedicated a deer to His Majesty and received his appreciation. Naturally, I was separated from the lower social status and promoted to an official.

When she was arrested, you took the risk

and killed an imperial guard just because of a woman who is unrelated to you?

Li Haolan saved His Majesty...

It's a merit.

Today, the innocent party is being falsely accused and unable to convincingly defend herself.

I deemed it unfair and helped her.

You are spouting nonsense!

Mother, if news of the assassination attempt on Royal Father spreads out,

the country will suffer from shock and Qin people will be happy.

I assert that Lu Buwei and Li Haolan

must be spies for Qin state

and here to topple Zhao state.

- Your Highness... - Enough, stop talking.

Drag them out. - Yes.

Lu Buwei, are you going to revolt?

I have the evidence.

Prince.

Greetings, Your Highness. This was too sudden and I was late in reporting. Please forgive me.

When I heard that Physician Yin went missing, I went to the back of the mountain to search for her.

I finally found her among a group of killers.

What? Someone wants to kill you? Why?

Because I'm holding a very important evidence.
