The Legend of Hao Lan

Episode 52

In his eyes, there are only two kinds of people.

One is useful, the other is useless.

As for me, I happen to be the kind who is of some use.

- It's not like that. - Correct!

You are right.

I saved you because you are of some use to me.

General!

You got me to write a letter to the Qin army.

You made me think that they are still humane.

That was why I did my utmost to try and save them.

But now, I finally realize...

How could the Qin army be humane?

You are all a pack of wolves and a streak of tigers without any human emotions.

Especially you!

The one in the world, above all, who deserves to die is you!

Aren't you doing all this because of someone by the name of Zhao Yi?

Do you know why I despise women?

It's because you are all too emotional and have no regard for the consequences.

Because of the supposed love, you would put yourself in danger at the risk of your life. That's disgusting!

This is a battleground meant to be conquered. To fall in love with the enemy is extreme stupidity!

General! Physician Yin has saved many people. You can't–

What is love?

It's just something fun to idle away one's time.

I will give you one day

to let you rant and rave.

After a day, you must appear here on time to assume your role of a physician.

If you still talk about some delusional and nonsensical love,

I will offer you as a sacrifice of the flag during the rites ceremony prior to setting out for battle.

General. General!

General.

Don't announce this. Help me change the medication.

How do I change this?

Let me do it.

Physician Yin.

Are you awake now?

I will not talk about your repeated disturbance. I am a physician and you are my patient.

It's good now. Change the medication on your wound daily.

You have to keep it away from water, and have to stay away from archery even more.

Physician Yin is truly amazing.

General, there aren't many such kind of people in the world, one who looks aloof but is actually kind and warm.

Shouldn't you be nicer to her?

Am I not nice enough to her?

It it were you and your pretentious affection,

I would have died countless times a long time ago!

Are you all right?

General, the Zhao State has withdrawn its army.

Really?

Send my order. The entire army has to head out for battle and break up the allied armies within three days!

Yes.

Announcement! A great victory is ahead!

Announcement! A great victory is ahead...!

Master, something bad has happened.

What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?

Master's mother... She ran away!

She exchanged clothing with Qiao'er and quietly slipped out of the manor.

Immediately summon some men to bring her back safely.

But where do we go to look for her?

Bai Zhong is returning to the city today. She must have gone to look for him. Hurry, go.

Yes.

Come and take a look! General Bai is returning in triumph!

Quick! Come and take a look!

Lu Ping.

- Did you find her? - Master.

There is no news at the moment.

The Great General has returned to the city. Quick, take a look!

The Great General has returned to the city!

- General Bai...! - General Bai...!

Elder Brother...!

Elder Brother...!

Ling'er. Ling'er!

Ling'er.

Yin Xiaochun...! Come and save someone!

Ling'er.

Xiaochun.

Capture him!

Don't run away!

- Xiaochun. - Let me go...!

Let go!

Don't worry. I'm here.

Bring her back to the manor quickly.

Speak! Who instructed you to do it?

I'm wronged. I was really intoxicated. I really didn't intend to kill anyone!

No? Beat him up!

Are you saying it was just an accident?

General.

It really was an accident. I hit and hurt someone. I am willing to compensate.

I mishandled a horse while intoxicated. I disrupted the peace in the city and caused someone to be hurt.

I deserve to be punished accordingly. I beg you.

Please don't beat me anymore. I can't endure it!

Acknowledging punishment?

Speak!

My hand... It's very painful.

My hand!

No! I'll speak.

I'll speak. I'll tell you all about it in detail!

Are you awake? Is your head still hurting?

Don't move. Let me take a look, all right?

What's happening?

Don't touch her!

Ling'er. Tell Elder Brother. Who harmed you?

Ling'er. Speak! Ling'er!

Don't be anxious. Her head is wounded.

She is momentarily dazed and unable to recognize anyone.

Wait for a while. Wait till she has regained her consciousness before you question her again.

Ling'er. Look clearly. I'm your elder brother.

Do you really not recognize me? I'm your elder brother. Ling'er!

Bai Zhong, Physician Yin has already said that Ling'er is sick.

Don't coerce her anymore.

Let go of me.

Bai Zhong, what are you trying to do?

Lu Buwei, that person has already confessed that it was you who surreptitiously ordered someone to murder her!

Why would I kill Ling'er?

Because you are afraid of Ling'er telling me the truth about my father's death,

afraid that I would seek vengeance for my father.

People say General Bai is wise and resolute. But I think you merely amount to this.

If I want to kill her, do I still wait till you return to Xianyang?

In your eyes, am I, Lu Buwei, that foolish?

Then, do you admit that you were the one who slandered and killed my father?

Bai Zhong, whoever killed your father,

Bai Ling'er doesn't know. But, are you ignorant and clueless, too?

You dare not blame it on the late King of Qin, but are blaming me now?

Fine. If you really think that I killed Lord Wu An,

then, kill me right now and avenge your father's death.

Do you think that I wouldn't dare?

I'm afraid you don't have the capability to do so.

Ling'er...

Are you two done with fighting? You two are frightening her!

Get lost right now!

Physician Yin, I'll entrust it all to you.

- It's all right now. - Ling'er.

Ling'er, be rest assured.

One day, I will definitely seek justice for you.

What are you laughing about?

That's a good fight. Fight toward death.

Fight till both parties are greatly wounded in defeat. That would then be worthy of my praise.

Bai Ling'er appeared out of nowhere.

It would be good to just let her divulge the truth to Bai Zhong.

Why must we do more than is required?

Empress Dowager, the physician has died and so there is no more witness.

Bai Zhong is not as gullible as Bai Ling'er.

Even if he really believed it, he will keep his silence because of self-interest.

Everyone has a weak spot. This Bai Ling'er is Bai Zhong's most vulnerable weakness.

Looking on helplessly as his own younger sister is suffering.

That's more unbearable than to kill her.

In such a situation, we can invite Bai Zhong over now. Right?

No. Let's wait a while more.

Wait?

You, be gentler.

Wait for him to show up himself.

Come.

Ling'er, if you refuse to drink the medicine.

Then today I will eat all of your favorite pan fried carp.

Don't shake your head.

Your wound haven't healed yet.

How about this? You take the medicine first.

I will tell someone to get candied fruits. Is that okay?

Please take care of Ling'er for me.

Bai Zhong, don't act recklessly.

Come back.

Queen Dowager, Wife of Prince Zixi, General Bai requests an audience.

Came here that fast?

- I will take my leave now. - No need.

General Bai appears to be entering an uninhabited land.

You must not think much of me, the Queen Dowager.

You two have schemed to get me here, so why bother pretending?

Let's just talk things over in candor.

How should we collaborate?

What is General Bai's intent?

Kill Lu Buwei.

It's easy to talk about killing the Prime Minister.

General Bai, don't forget.

The Emperor of Qin is Lu Buwei's biggest ally.

There is no banquet that doesn't reach an end.

When our goals are the same, we are allies.

When our goals are opposites, we don't hesitate to kill.

For power and the Qin state, the Emperor of Qin didn't even value his older brother.

What value does Lu Buwei hold?

Lu Buwei needs to be killed but not now.

It can't be because of your personal grudge?

Then when?

General, let's plan.

Empress, what is this?

Naturally it's because to avoid letting the morning sun affect your sound sleep.

I think you don't want me to disturb your child's sleep!

Your Majesty, look at how old Zheng'er is.

Every dawn, I need to force him to wake up to study.

He trains in archery in the afternoon and settles the affairs of the state with you in the evening.

He has been sick twice.

Every time when he takes medicines and becomes better, he needs to continue again.

Are you raising a child or do you want his life?

Since young, I did this. Zheng'er is not an exception.

With your tolerant pampering, he'll become a puppy.

How can a future King of Qin be so spoiled and undisciplined?

It's strange. It's already past dawn.

Why didn't the chicken crow?

You did this again. I will settle score with you when I'm back.

Your Majesty!
