Song of Phoenix

Episode 73

Firm and unyielding qualities, your heart is vast and has no personal request-Ode to Orange from Nine Chapters

Prime Minister.

General Chu Li, have you prepared everything?

Of course.

Welcome King of Chu.

I, Chu Li Ji, greet Your Majesty.

No need.

Kind of Chu, please.

King of Chu, please.

What are you doing?

The kings will be discussing important matters. It would be best to leave them alone.

What if we must come with?

Then you must ask my sword!

Everyone, everyone. If you do not believe me,

then why have you come to Wu Guan?

King of Chu, please.

What do you want to do?

Why have your king not arrived yet?

I have only said that you and my king will meet.

However, I never said when.

If the King of Qin does not come, how will we form the alliance?

My king has ordered

seeing as we have offered Han Zhong land,

we have shown our sincerity.

Perhaps the King of Chu can express your sincerity too.

I sure want to know

what kind of sincerity you want.

Wu Jun and Qian Zhong Jun.

They are near the west of Chu's border.

If the King of Chu is at an inconvenience managing those lands,

why don't you give them to Qin and rule together?

What a joke! Qian Zhong was concurred by the late King of Chu.

The reason why Chu is one of the Seven Waring States

is because of Han Zhong, Ba Shu, and Qian Zhong.

You have taken Ba Shu and have been fighting for Han Zhong.

Now you want Qian Zhong as well.

Why don't you just take my Ying Du?

I am only discussing with you.

The decision is entirely up to you.

The King of Chu does not need to be angry.

You have cut away a piece of my flesh and ask me not to be angry?

I think

the King of Chu should give up Qu Jun and Qian Zhong

since my king is trading Han Zhong for them.

You will not be at a disadvantage.

Han Zhong is originally Chu land.

I am simply taking back what belongs to me!

How can I trade my own land for my own land?

This trade can be negotiated.

If the King of Chu does not wish to trade then...

What?

Forgive me for speaking directly. With Qin State's army,

no matter if the King of Chu gives up the two lands,

they will belong to Qin State eventually.

If you cooperate, then the relationship between Qin and Chu will be mended.

The world will be ours to rule.

If the King of Chu does not cooperate,

What then?

I'm afraid the King of Chu

must continue to stay here and await my king.

You're threatening me?

How dare I? the King of Chu is the great Xiao Xiong.

How dare I?

Detaining a king.

I'm surprised Qin has fallen so low as to do such as thing.

Are you not afraid of humiliation?

Do the Qin's not have an ounce trust?

The world will belong to Qin State soon!

I advise the King of Chu to consider the offer carefully.

The affairs of the world

cannot be overturned by you alone?

Even if you kill me,

don't dream about taking one inch of land from me!

You don't know what's good for you!

Luan Kun Palace

Greetings to Queen Dowager.

These etiquette can be waved from now on.

Queen Dowager, the ceremony is ready.

Tomorrow we can begin the sacrifice.

Your Grand Shaman clothes

are quite beautiful.

However, this sacrifice

I don't want to do it.

Queen Dowager, you are a noblewoman and a royal.

Perhaps after the sacrifice ceremony, your health will be better.

Don't assure me with those lies.

I know very well the number of my days left.

Queen Dowager.

We have come full circle.

If that year your mother was willing to tell some lies, then all would have been well.

If she hadn't revealed the fate of Chu,

then she wouldn't have angered the late king.

These things are of the past. You don't have to bring them up again.

Could it be that you have forgotten

everything that has happened?

You still care in your heart.

If it were me,

I would not be able to forget either.

That's why

you are sensible.

You know what is righteous.

Every time I give you hardships,

but you are still

loyal to the State of Chu.

Loyal to the King.

I cannot compare to your character.

I cannot bear such praise.

What is there not to bear?

Half my body is already in the grave.

Only now

can people truly think clearly.

That year your mother was just as old as you are now.

We were both very young.

I was young. She was young.

But she is still young,

yet I

I have already become like this.

Lately I always dream of her.

She locked away the late king's fate.

It's about time she come to me too.

All the sins will be payed with karma eventually.

She allowed me to live for so long.

I've lived until now. I am grateful enough.

That's why, do not do the unnecessary

for my health.

Mo Chou, I

beg one thing of you.

Please tell me, Queen Dowager.

There must be Chu

There must be King.

Let me go in peace.

Let me

have the courage to face the late King

and the ancestors, alright?

Queen Dowager rest assured.

Greetings to Your Highness.

You have worked hard General Chu Li. I have come here to see Xiong Huai.

Your Highness, please.

I want to talk to Xiong Huai in private.

All of you clear out.

Yes.

Little sister Lady of Eight.

Little sister.

Brother.

I hope that you are well.

Little sister, have you been well these past years?

I am the Queen Dowager of the State of Qin.

All the Qin people respect and honor me.

How well do you think I have been?

I am truly happy for you.

Right. I have you and the late king to thank.

If you haven't

tricked me into the State of Qin,

I would not have what I have today.

Little sister, how can you think that?

Am I wrong?

You told me you were taking me to play.

Then you intoxicated me with alcohol.

You put me on a carriage to Qin.

You have acted out a good play.

It is not like this!

You didn't expect this, right?

Today you are at my mercy.

I have wronged you.

But things are not as you believe!

It's not as I believe?

You promised me

that you would never allow me to become used in forming an alliance.

But what really happened? You made me leave my home

and never cared about my life or death.

I have never lied to you.

I really wanted to save you.

But-

But I did not know what really happened either.

When I woke up, everything was too late.

You're lying!

Do you think by saying this now

I will still believe you?

I am indebted to you.

But I never forgot! I never stopped caring about your life or death!

If you don't believe me, look!

Do you still remember?

We found this together when we were children.

This rock was your favourite.

You gave it to me.

These years when you were not by by side,

I would carry it with me all the time.

Whenever I missed you, I would take it out.

Don't use such things to fool me.

I have forgotten the past.

I only remember being betrayed by my most trusted brother.

I only remember being drugged with alcohol.

When I awoke, I saw rows upon rows of Qin soldiers.

I suddenly discovered

there would never be someone I know close to me again.

It's too late for you to say anything now.
