The Legend of Hao Lan

Episode 8

Greetings, Consort.

Formality is excused.

I've been lingering in Qin State for many days, Crown Prince still refused to see me.

Looks like he doesn't care about Royal Descendant.

Mr. Situ, to be frank with you,

since I came into the palace, I have never received any favor from the Crown Prince.

Also implicated Yiren by getting much mistreatment as well.

If he really cared about Yiren's life,

would he have send him to Zhao State as hostage?

Nowadays, for three hundred sixty five days a year, the Crown Prince

Already as if he grew roots in Huayan mistress' palace.

Definitely further indifferent to Yiren's life and death situation.

The battle is upon us.

I am but a lonely unsupported woman.

What can I do for my son?

Since Consort already feels this way,

I, Situ Que, can only go back and report to the Royal Descendant.

Let him take care of himself.

Wait a second.

I have to give one last try.

Consort.

Master, you came from Zhao State.

Please tell me all the details that you've seen.

Yes.

Master please tell.

Huayang Gate.

Who is the one kneeling?

Crown Prince, it is I, please take a better look at me.

- Who is this? -This is Yiren's mom, Han State Xia Consort.

Should've tell me sooner.

Why are you so skinny now?

Come, get up.

What is the matter you seek me for?

Crown prince, Yiren is a hostage in Zhao State.

He wrote a letter home.

Letter? Yiren is seeking help then?

Two states in battle. Yiren is a hostage

All these years, every time Qin and Zhao fight.

He always gets pushed into the dangerous zone.

Did he every wrote a letter for help?

This time, Qin soldiers are nearing Zhao borders.

His letter home is not seeking help.

He is secretly passing information.

Crown Prince please take a look.

Take this.

That is amazing.

This is describing Hangdang City's battle plans and economic trades. .

This is even a blood book

Crown Prince, Yiren asked a businessman to come so many thousand miles to Xianyang.

He has one more phrase wanting to tell Crown Prince.

Say it.

Yiren knows once Qin and Zhao start the battle.

Zhao people will use him as a sacrifice to their flag.

Yiren is not afraid of death.

Only fearing unable to return to his native land.

Ask that on the day when Crown Prince takes down the Hangdong city.

Bring back his bones to Xianyang,

bury him in the Ten Li Hill in the countryside.

He is willing to spend his whole life to protect Qin State.

Protect Crown Prince's safety.

Yiren really said that?

If there's any lies,

I, Xia Consort is willing to get strike by lightning be forever condemned.

Don't cry anymore.

Yiren is a good son.

Good son! Come here,

Bring this blood book to my father King.

Father King normally looks down on me and my sons.

This one is so brave and strong. I want to see what father King will say now.

Yes.

Come here, write a letter to Zhao King.

Tell him, do not touch my son.

If he dares to touch my son's life,

The day I wipe flat Hangan, I will split his body by five horses.

No, can't send letter to Zhao King.

Should send letter to Wong Heng. Let him think of a way.

Whatever he can do, get Yiren out of there.

Thanks Crown Prince.

Lady-in-waiting Li.

You scared me.

I deliberately want to scare you.

You need to be ready, there's change in circumstances.

In three days, I will take you out of the palace.

Why?

Qin State has tens of thousands of soldiers near the Zhao border.

The battle will start in a moment's notice.

Even though Zhao State has strong men. But hard to tell the result.

If we lose, Qin soldiers will definitely come to Hanyang.

Lu Family have been in business for so many years, we can not be destroyed like this.

I already told everyone to be ready.

As for you, I must take you away.

Why do you need to take me away?

Why?

Because...

You are half owner of Lu family business.

I didn't help you achieve your power yet, you already want to share half with me?

Not allowed to speak nonsense, you must go with me.

what about the Qin Royal Descendant?

Situ Que already went to the Qin State.

Waiting for his news, then can decide Qin Royal Descendant's fate.

Don't ask anymore. Go back and get ready.

Lady-in-waiting Xiao, I did as your instructions.

- Hurry and go there. - Yes.

Lady-in-waiting Li, as Queen's order, please wait outside.

where did Lady-in-waiting Xiao go?

Lady-In-waiting Xiao is not feeling well, she is on sick leave tonight.

Lady-in-waiting Li, His Majesty came back from the banquet and is still very excited.

Commanded me to come to the Rising Sun Palace to invite Her Highness to enjoy the moon together.

Her Highness has already laid down. It's not convenient to go there.

When Her Highness awakes, I will report to her right away.

I still need to give His Majesty a reply. No matter what, please report now.

Her Highness has just gone to bed. It's not convenient for me to disturb her either.

Lady-in-waiting Li, this is the command of His Majesty. Who dares to disobey?

If you don't let her know now,

when the Empress finds out later. she might get very angry.

You all stand by the door,

I will go in to tell the Empress

Thanks.

Who?

Please forgive me, Empress. The candle light inside the palace is not bright.

Didn't know that the Empress and Princess is having a discussion.

I need to be punished for disturbing you.

Is that right?

Empress, the King invited you to join him in enjoying the moon.

The people are waiting outside.

Useless thing. This is the Rising Sun Palace.

Who dares to come in without my instructions?

Get out here now,

watch your little life if you dares to come in again.

Yes.

Lady-in-waiting Li, what did Her Highness say?

Queen drink a little too much at the banquet tonight, she can't accompany the king.

She said she will ask the King's forgiveness tomorrow morning.

Don't just stand there mumbling. Since you received the clear instructions for you to go back.

Consort Yun.

You must be Li Haolan.

Please tell the Empress I have an urgent matter to report.

The Empress is exhausted today,

and she is resting.

If the Empress is not feeling well,

then I must check on her.

I will tell the Empress of your good intentions,

but since she is already resting,

you should not bother her.

Lady-in-waiting Li, you have only been working in the palace for a few days,

how dare you block me from seeing the Empress?

I have no such intentions.

You should know the rules of Rising Sun Palace,

since you have lived in the palace for a while.

The goose sings peacefully, at the start of the rising sun.

The palace's first ray of sunlight radiates right here.

The Empress is the ruler of her palace,

and she says she is not receiving guests.

If you insist on going inside,

the Empress will be greatly angered.

Are you sure you want that?

What are you talking about?

Knowing that the Empress is sick, if I don't go in to see her,

wouldn't that be bad manners?

I am not making up the rules for the Rising Sun Palace.

I am simply relaying the Empress' message to you.

Please don't make things difficult for me.

What if I insist on going inside?

Then you will forgive Haolan's rudeness.

Even if I have to fight to the front of the King.

I have to give consort the crime of being disrespectful.

All right, then we shall see if I can get inside or not today.

Come!

Empress.

Consort Yun.

What's going on?

Why are you making a scene in front of my palace

at this time of night?

I heard that you are not feeling well,

so I came to visit.

Do I look well to you?

Let's go.

Do you want to go inside

and check up some more on me?

I don't have the audacity.

Follow me.

The Empress seems to be in a bad mood.

- Lady-in-waiting Li... - Right.

I have never seen Her Highness...

The palace forbids gossip. Do you two want to die?

Your Highness,

Li Haolan, what are you trying to do?

I leave for just a little while and you let people charge into the palace!

If this disturbed the Queen, you can't repay with a hundred lives!

I have made a mistake. Please punish me, Your Highness.

Punish? Does that even work?
