The Legend of Hao Lan

Episode 49

Prime Minister Lu, this urn was found in your basement.

What, you still want to shirk it off to others?

Situ Que had been with me for many years. Its normal for him to have ulterior motive.

Burying the urn is not an issue.

I really regret such disloyal and unjust person.

Should've been killed to avoid future problems.

There are no benefits for speaking too much. Prime Minister Lu, please go this way.

Wait, where are you taken him?

Stealing from oneself, that's cause for extra punishment.

It's up the King what is punishment will actually be.

No, you can't take him away.

Go back to Bai Residence, Bai Zhong will protect you.

No, I won't go.

I am your wife, I won't go anywhere else.

You..

Ling'er, hurry back to Bai residence so that you wouldn't get implicated as well.

You are a shameless vile person.

Mr. Situ, you've earn a great merit today.

Say it, how would you like me to reward you?

I will request for a reward when Prince reach success later.

That is well too. Let's go.

Prince.

I have an important witness here.

Witness?

I don't know. I don't know anything.

Take her.

I really regret not allowing Lu Buwei to kill you in the past.

Regret? Too late.

You.

Qiao'er, let's hurry to get Elder brother.

Bai Residence.

Young mistress, you've been crying for over half hours here already.

My husband will be penalize soon, how can I not cry?

Ling'er, do you still remember what father said?

Only weak people cries.

According to Qin Law, I won't be able to escape either.

I already though of a way out for you.

As long as you are the one who expose Lu Buwei in accordance to Qin Law,

You can also keep your dowry. How is this method?

Elder brother, how can you do that?

Husband and wife are birds of same forest, when trouble comes each fly on its own.

Once that Lu Buwei dies, I will find another husband for you.

I don't want to.

If you allow him to die, then I shall accompany him too.

Ling'er, don't be wilful.

Elder brother, I beg you.

Please help him. Save Lu Buwei.

It's not that I don't want to save him.

Its that I really can not help him.

Ling'er, do you know how many people want him dead?

Lu Buwei is originally from a merchant background.

Now he became a Qin prime minister.

So many people wants to find his weakness every day.

Now they have to beat down further on the person who is already fallen.

Ling'er, not only I can't save him.

Even the Qin King can not keep him alive.

At the worst, he can leave the Prime Minister position, we will return to Wei State.

Remember what happened to Shan Yiang?

He knows the principle of retiring at one's height.

Those people are here to take his life.

Can not escape and can not be evaded.

Bai Zhong.

Why are you here? Weren't you treating soldiers?

You knew the event will become like this?

Even without Situ Que selling out Lu Buwei. This still will happen.

Prince Xi found gold water from Lu Buwei's basement.

That is enough to prove that Lu Buwei stole from the storehouse.

Lu Buwei jailed, Crown Prince's bloodline in question. Qin King getting criticized.

Will you still be able to be lead General for the attack on Chou?

All right, if you won't go, I will go.

Elder brother.

Your majesty.

What is happening outside?

Lord Xun is leading a group of official and royal members outside

demanding to see you.

Royal clan made three requests.

One is Prince Xi will replace Prime Minister Lu and lead the army to attack East Chou.

The King agreed to this one.

Second is to punish Prime Minister Lu for the storehouse theft.

Third is to open imperial court discussion on...

How?

What can't you say at this point?

Say it.

They want the King to abolish Crown Prince's title.

Also me, the Queen.

Hoalan, what should we do now?

Xiaochun, there is one matter, I need your help in.

Prince.

Where is Prince consort?

At...at the sleeping quarter.

Did she have her meal?

She just had it.

What is the item in your hand? Give me.

I did wrong. I deserve to die.

But I was obeying Prince Consort's orders.

What is it?

Go with me.

That's a joke.

Who will bring their pregnant wife to go into battle?

The road is long and the travel is tough.

Aren't you concerned there could be an accident?

Don't pretend anymore.

You have no intention to give birth to a son for me!

I don't know what you are talking about.

For termination purposes, two units of Chinese aconite

for use with bittersweet wine for application to the right foot.

It's a very good method for termination.

Fang Ya, you are trying to abort our child while he's alive!

It's good that you know anyway.

I didn't plan on hiding it from you for too long.

Why?

Is your heart made of ice?

The child is so big already.

Even if you don't care about his life,

don't you even care about your own life?

I tried various ways to get married into the Qin State.

I would never be satisfied with just becoming Princess Consort.

I want the power to control Qin State.

You deserve to die.

Say it, what did you do?

You try it.

Come on.

Just fiercely pierce it in.

Then, you would be able to break free.

You take action first.

Say it, what did you do?

I send someone and came to an agreement with Zhao State Crown Prince.

When your amy enters battle.

The army that was originally suppose to aid East Chou.

Will turn around and help you kill the Lord of East Chou.

What about Zhao State?

Zhao State will get the entire Shangdang.

Because of those matters of the past,

you really hate Zichu deeply.

To the extent that you would carefully plan this scheme

that would even drag the Zhao State down as well.

I love him.

It's the first time I ever love someone this much in my life.

For him, I abandoned my parents, my family and my country.

I expended everything and also sacrificed everything!

But in the end, I didn't gain anything.

Such an experience was hard to bear.

Therefore, he must die by my hands.

And you... You are my sword.

I am your sword?

If you get as you wished.

Then we will agree.

What are you laughing at?

Thinking about it, this is actually the first time you speak your mind with me.

Then I will also share something.

Back when my father was a hostage to Zhao State.

No one else was willing to follow along.

Only my mother willingly went with him to Handan.

The two of them shared that time together.

Three years later they finally was able to return to Qin.

When mother thought her good time finally came.

But unexpectedly only two months after returning,

She was found out that there was a lover hidden inside the closet.

The funny part is...

Father King actually believed it.

So that he gave order to have other locked up inside a stone coffin.

She suffocated to death.

Before she left, she cried out to me.

Zichi,

Zichi, son.

Afterwards?

Later it was found that she was framed.

Then father had the coffin opened up.

He hold the body and cried.

I guessed he must've forgotten the initial promise he made.

She promised mother once.

The day he get on the throne.

Mother will be the Queen of Qin.

Therefore you will risk your life to take that back.

Don't misunderstand, I am not an idiot who is trying to avenge my mother.

It's been so long. I don't even remember

what my mother actually look like.

I want to be the King. Just that I want to be the Qin King.

Telling you this is because I want to ask you to do something.

This is the something left by mother.

I can't take it with me. You save this for me.

Regardless of what your motive is. What I promised you will not be renegaded.

I promise that I will definitely make the Queen of Qin.

Prince Consort, why didn't you tell Prince that you did not use the medicine at th end?

Get out of here.

-Get out. -Yes.

Prince.

Scram.

Are you all right? Your old wounds didn't healed yet. I shouldn't done that to you.

My life is worthless.

As long as I have one last breathe left. I was even able to climb out from a heap of dead bodies.

But Prince is not the same. You will be leading the battle out tomorrow.

Prince, you shouldn't go anywhere else.

Prince is calm and extraordinary smart.

You treat Prince Consort as a beloved treasure.

Looks like you found out the truth today.

- That's why you got so angry. - She is such a scary woman.
