The Legend of Hao Lan

17

Episode 20

18

Because you love him.

19

When you love someone, you will always stubbornly help him look for excuses.

20

Since you are so sad and heartbroken, I can actually be at ease.

21

You also have blood and flesh, you can cry and hurt.

22

I still wondered what happened to you,

23

that lead you to seem so unfazed by anything.

24

Master, Haolan has such a proud personality,

25

after you humiliating her like this, everything will really end.

26

No one else understands her more than me.

27

Before I did this,

28

I already knew the consequences.

29

Ah Yue does not understand, not even half of it.

30

I am just a businessman of humble origins.

31

Even if I took her away to live happily, so what?

32

The word "power",

33

my hard earned family wealth, carefully decorated home,

34

even her.

35

All of these, I cannot protect them.

36

This is a businessman.

37

A humble businessman.

38

So, I personally dragged her out of the mud,

39

then coldly pushed her back down again.

40

I want to let her know

41

that without power,

42

one cannot protect one's most precious items in the world.

43

- But...

- There are no buts.

44

The banquet date approaches.

45

You must stay by her side and help her properly.

46

You may leave.

47

I won't go.

48

Situ Yue,

49

just who is the master and who is the servant?

50

I come from a lowly background, but I am wholly thinking for Master's wellbeing.

51

When my brother and I were about to starve to death,

52

it was you who brought us back to the Lü family.

53

Not only did you give us somewhere to live, you even taught us to read and write.

54

This is me repaying your grace.

55

Because of this, I cannot just idly watch you repeatedly make mistakes.

56

I want you to leave, can you not hear?

57

- Master!

- Leave!

58

Haolan.

59

I have something to tell you.

60

I think there is no need for this.

61

If you don't listen, then I will wait here for you everyday.

62

Will you not be afraid of others' gossip?

63

I will wait for you in Jiyue Palace.

64

Lingxi Palace

65

Your Highness, what do you want to do?

66

I still remember when we first met.

67

I ran into assassins,

68

my life was in grave danger but you helped me bandage my wounds.

69

Your eyes were lowered and you had such a gentle demeanour.

70

I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

71

The one who saved you that day was Xiuyu.

72

It was her who lured the assassins away.

73

But the first time I opened my eyes,

74

the one I saw was you.

75

From that day onward, whenever it's Shangsi Festival (Double Third Festival),

76

we would go out and tread on green (walk on green grass).

77

We would watch kites fill the sky

78

and listen to rural young ladies sing.

79

I was scared that if others found out, they would bring you danger.

80

I would always ride on a horse by myself,

81

and silently follow your carriage.

82

Until I sent you back to the manor, I never revealed myself.

83

But in my heart, I was so happy.

84

Your Highness.

85

Maybe I never loved you at all.

86

Haolan. Don't say such words out of anger.

87

I am speaking the truth.

88

That time, my mother and I were bullied and I was anxious to escape.

89

Your Highness was like a floating support in front of me.

90

Like a kind older brother,

91

who took me out to play and let me have room to breathe.

92

I thought that I had affections for you.

93

But later, when Xiuyu stirred up trouble for me,

94

my first thought was,

95

"If I had known earlier, I should have let her have you instead."

96

If you really love someone sincerely,

97

even if you have to get hurt you won't have a change of heart.

98

Because a person's heart is not controlled by logic.

99

Is it still love when you yield so easily?

100

No. I don't believe.

101

I don't believe in every sentence and every word you say.

102

Believe it or not, so be it.

103

We have no reason to talk to each other again.

104

Haolan...

105

I know I have done many things that caused you hurt.

106

Since we are at this stage now, there's only one option.

107

- What are you doing?

- Just kill me.

108

As long as it can help you to forget your hatred and hostility, I'm willing to do anything.

109

- Haolan.

- Let me go!

110

Just kill me. Aren't you filled with hatred for me?

111

Stab it into my heart deeply.

112

As long as you won't say you don't love me. I'm not willing to hear that!

113

Let go of my hand!

114

You think I am acting. Right?

115

Then, I will prove it to you.

116

Prince.

117

Haolan.

118

Prince!

119

The physician said it was fortunate that it missed (the heart) by a bit.

120

If not, no one would be able to save you.

121

Prince. You are too reckless.

122

As long as it would make you look at me again,

123

I'm willing to do anything.

124

It's getting late.

125

I have to go back.

126

Promise me you will come and see me again.

127

Ya'er is here.

128

Elder Brother. You really do have a good method.

129

You were able to erase all the hurt in the past so easily.

130

Now, you have restored your friendship with that beauty.

131

If I say it wasn't merely a method?

132

But a faux act that turns into real affection.

133

The love I have for Haolan was never a pretense.

134

In this case,

135

Elder Brother, you even make use of your own emotions?

136

In order to achieve a goal,

137

there's nothing in this world that cannot be make use of.

138

Even if it's one's own life, let alone a woman.

139

What function can Haolan really be good for?

140

That you would take it to such great pains?

141

As long as she would come closer to me,

142

she would serve a good purpose some day.

143

Be careful, all of you.

144

Yes.

145

- You two, put it behind that over there.

- Yes.

146

Be meticulous.

147

Sister Haolan, have some water.

148

Lady-in-waiting Li. It's all ready over there.

149

Have some water first before going there.

150

Master.

151

Is it a busy period lately?

152

Indeed. So busy that I don't get to see her.

153

Sister Haolan has not rested for two days consecutively.

154

I kindly persuaded her to quietly get a little rest.

155

But she was stubborn and refused to rest.

156

Qin Royal Descendant

157

Why are you here?

158

I was just walking around.

159

Accidentally found the main hall fully lit.

160

Guessing that you might be here.

161

Where is General Gongsun?

162

He is drunk sleeping under the peach tree.

163

The night is deep, let me take you back.

164

I haven't complete my tasks yet.

165

It's time to go back.

166

Let's go.

167

How is your wound on your back?

168

Thanks for Qin Royal Descendant's caring. It's much better.

169

Did you notice that what you said most to me.

170

is the word thanks.

171

Is it?

172

Haolan.

173

Why do you avoid me recently?

174

Because I am good to you.

175

So you are worry I have ulterior motives towards you.

176

Qin Royal Descendant, that's not my meaning.

177

I like you.

178

But my heart is for another.

179

I know.

180

From the start I deliberately got close to you because of you position.

181

You've said that before.

182

Is there anything else that needs to be accounted for?

183

I...

184

He is right behind us.

185

Don't turn around. He is looking at us right now.

186

Haolan, I agreed to help you give him a beating.

187

But never found a good opportunity.

188

How about today? I will help you give him a beating. okay?

189

What?

190

Did he leave?

191

Don't turn around.

192

He is still there.

193

Did he leave?

194

Still not.

195

- How about now?

- He left.

196

Don't worry. I wasn't confessing to you.

197

Also I will not confess to you.

198

Qin Royal Descendant.

199

A gentleman will not steal the love of another.

200

We are good friends. Letting him win three times is nothing.

201

But only three times.

202

Let?

203

Let's go.

204

Add more of this.

205

Royal Descendant, Prince Yu and Treasurer Lu is here.

206

I know it. I will get ready now.

208

Elder brother is currently wantonly bribing other people.

209

He not only won over big general Gao Meng, also many officials that father King depends on.

210

The fight for throne is already like a raging fire.

211

Prince Jiao already obtained the Queen's support.

212

You need to forge harder as well.

213

What is the meaning of that?

214

Make plans to kill Prince Jiao as early as possible.

215

No.

216

Since Prince Jiao is unable to make a painful decision.

217

Then your good head shall be on someone's platter sooner or later.

218

Lu Buwei shall not keep you company any further.

219

Wait.

220

Prince changed his mind?

221

What do you want me to do?

222

Tomorrow banquet is a great opportunity to start.

223

There will be a load of whitefish that will be tribute gift.

224

I already bribed the whitefish chef.

225

At that time.

226

Who?

227

Haolan.

228

You are awake?

229

My dried flower drink still didn't properly brew out. Came to ask for your advise.

230

But I fell asleep on the desk.

231

I saw that you were very tired so I didn't disturb you.

232

Prince.

233

Why is everyone so nervous?

234

Did something happened?

235

We were merely talking about tomorrow's banquet.

236

Wondering how the hall will be decorated.

237

Curious.

238

Only curious.

239

In that case.

240

Since both of you are here, I will come back for the advise another day.

241

That's well, then you should go back to rest well.

242

I shall take my leave first.

243

What should we do?

244

If she leak out any rumor our plans will be for naught.

245

I trust her.

246

Royal Descendant, there is no woman in this world who can keep a secret.

247

Prince.

248

She original belongs to me.

249

Please continue with the next plan.

250

Why are you looking for me?

251

I have something to say to you.

252

Don't worry, I wouldn't reveal any secrets.

253

I will keep my mouth shut but not for you, its for Royal Descendant.

254

You are misunderstanding.

255

I have something I need to give to you personally.

256

This is Li family's object from forebears.

257

When you pawned it, I found it back.

258

Didn't have chance to return to you.

259

Now, its time to return to its owner.

260

This jade pendant used to be my favorite.

261

I used to think it is symbol of my father's love and the family's value.

262

But later I found that those are only moon in the water, flowers in the mirror, completely useless.

263

If you like it, you should keep it yourself.

264

Merchants hand already touched it.

265

I do not want it anymore.

266

Why?

267

Because it's too dirty.

268

Master, you want me to keep watch over Sister Haolan.

269

Do you not trust her anymore?

270

I am just worry, someone might used our gap.

271

Putting a spoke within.

272

- A Yue don't understand.

- You don't need to understand.

273

You just remember to keep an eye on her all the time.

274

But you shouldn't push Sister Haolan further and further.

275

Do as per my command.

276

Please go.

277

Rising Sun Palace.

278

What is this?

279

A servant came to bring this. Didn't leave any words.

280

Willow branch?

281

That is quite strange.

282

Who gives willow branch as a present?

283

That is so stingy.

284

Willow branch Sangsi holiday.

285

What?

286

It's nothing.

287

Haolan, I knew you will come.

288

Your Highness found out Prince was hurt and specially commanded me to deliver medicine here.

289

Hope Prince will get well soon.

290

Don't worry. I told physician

291

not to tell anyone. They thought I was hurt from sword practice.

292

Since the item is delivered. I shall take my leave.

293

Haolan.

294

You are still willing to come see me.

295

Does that mean you will forgive me?

296

Prince, Hoalan already said.

297

Things are already over. I didn't put it in my thoughts.

298

Why does Prince still think about it.

299

Then why did you come today?

300

-That's because of the Queen.-

- No.

301

You have to work on the banquet tomorrow, you can easily ask someone else.

302

You are still caring about me, isn't it?

303

Hoalan, when we first met?

304

I was met by an assassin, under great duress.

305

That was the time when I was most desolate and helpless time.

306

That was not the first such occurence in my life.

307

Also not the last time.

308

Breaking promises and abandoning affections are all my doing.

309

I must admit to that.

310

But being in that environment, I have no other choice.

311

Since it's in the past, I ask for your forgiveness.

312

I only ask for one more chance.

313

Give me one more chance to compensate you. Okay?

314

Prince.

315

Please allow me to think about it.

316

Think carefully.

317

318

She is but only an ordinary woman.

319

So easily manipulate by people.

320

All the women in the world have a soft heart.

321

The strategy of a grievance person is usual the most effective.

322

You want to let her betray Lu Buwei.

323

Didn't you notice?

324

She and Lu Buwei already have a gap.

325

I understand Hoalan. She appears gentle.

326

In reality she is ambitious and proud. A mere Lu Buwei.

327

A base merchant, what can he give her?

328

Don't forget. She is from upper class.

329

Will not remain together with a lowly merchant.

330

But I see that she is still affectionate.

331

Didn't make any statements.

332

People say old love are unforgettable.

333

I have know her many years, shared obstacles.

334

I refuse to believe that she has no old feelings for me.

335

Even just a little is enough.

336

I can let her be used by me.

337

Physician Yin.

338

Physician Yin.

339

It's hurt.

340

Where did this pigeon came from?

341

This is letter carrier pigeon from the palace. Don't know how it got hurt and fell from the sky.

342

The guard picked it up and I just immediately brought it over.

343

Looks like it was wounded by a fierce beast.

344

Hold it.

345

How would there be any fierce beast inside the palace?

346

Maybe he was hurt outside the palace and flew back?

347

All right, no matter what.

348

You will take this wounded pigeon.

349

I will come back every day to check on it. You should take good care of it.

350

You come back.

351

If it looses even one feather. you will answer for it.

352

He came to look for you.

353

This person must be sick.

354

Right, its lovesick!

355

What are you saying?

356

So anxious to come her to get wretched. What else if not lovesick?

357

Every day if it's not a guard getting wounded or himself getting wounded.

358

Doesn't that show ulterior motive?

359

No wonder the saying goes. Use one's body to repay the gratitude of saving one's life.

360

That day you saved him, it got stuck to his heart.

361

I am not loved-by-all as you are.

362

When my mother passed away.

363

There is no one in this world who really loves me.

364

Hoalan, why do you say that?

365

Father's love demanded my sacrifice for the clan and his career.

366

Prince Jiao's love

367

is for his use any time.

368

As for Lu Buwei...

369

What about Lu Buwei?

370

In his heart

371

Ambition and power is foremost.

372

- Hoalan.

- All right.

373

I wouldn't joke anymore. I have a serious matter to seek you for.

374

- You.

- Shhh...

375

Lets speak inside.

376

Please.

377

Come.

378

Please.

379

What time is it already?

380

Consort Han is still in bed.

381

You mind such a thing?

382

Beloved consort is normal weak bodied.

383

Even the physician said needs good rest. Should not be disturbed.

384

Let her be. Wake until she is awake.

385

Your Highness is speaking ill of me again?

386

Come here.

387

Was waiting for you.

388

The jade on your person is so brilliant.

389

For a second I mistook it for Hesi Jade.

390

Hesi jade is worth several cities.

391

Your Highness treasured it so much and rarely showed it to anyone.

392

I was probably mistaken.

393

Hesi Jade is big as a plate.

394

How can it be worn?

395

This jade pedant that I gifted to Qinhua.

396

Is not inferior to the priceless Hesi Jade.

397

Your Highness is truly generous.

398

Only Consort Han's beauty

399

can gain adoration from Your Highness.

400

Look at that.

401

Under the bright moon, among the sea of candlelights.

402

It's beauty didn't get dimmed.

403

Really open one's field of vision.

404

That is really that precious?

405

I have told you many times.

406

This pendant is priceless. You never believed it.

407

You should treasure it from now on.

408

No matter how precious it is still an object.

409

What is the big deal?

410

What kind of fish?

411

This is a new tribute, whitefish.

412

Silvery color, fresh taste. Your Highness, please have a taste.

413

- Please punish my crime, Prince.

- It's okay.

414

Come. Everyone taste the fish.

415

Your Highness, since this banquet is especially prepared for me.

416

Seeing all this characters fighting

417

is quite boring.

418

Go down.

419

How about we have hunting competition?

420

- What do you think, Your Highness?

- Sure.

421

Then let's use this jade pendant as the prize.

422

No...that's not good.

423

Don't forget this jade pendant is priceless.

424

That is Zhao State's rare treasure.

425

This gold cup.

426

Will be the hunting competition's prize.

427

Great.

428

Princess Qinhua is really as rumored to be.

429

Her beauty is incomparable.

430

Heard since Qinhua entered the palace. The imperial harem is a mere decoration.

431

Even if I possess such beauty.

432

I will also hide in the deep palace, exquisitely cared for.

433

You have time to make fun of others.

434

I heard that Your Highness intends to marry you to Prince Yu.

435

Tell me honestly. Are you happy about it?

436

Look at you! Marriage is an important matter in one's life. It's not for jesting.

437

"A date amid the mulberries;"

438

"An invitation to meet up at a palatial place;"

439

"Seeing me off on the Qi River."

[The Classic of Poetry: Meng Jiang's poem on love; "Amid the Mulberries"]

440

A splendid and magnificent time.

441

The radiance of springtime. How would that be disappointing?

442

You are still talking about it.

443

Look.

444

Good.

445

So anxious you can't stand still.

446

Prince Yu is not yet out yet.

447

Brother Yu, it's your turn.

448

My archery skills is not up to par with elder brother. I shouldn't try it.

449

Don't be so serious, it's for royal father's enjoyment.

450

Catch.

451

Elder brother already got the heart of the cup.

452

Even if I do same, it's not interesting.

453

Anyone in the audience can assist me?

454

Miss.

455

What instructions do the master have?

456

Please follow me. Just need to stand still.

457

Please.

458

Pangming.

459

Pangming, please wake up.

460

Pangming.

461

Your Highness, are you gifting this jade ornament to me? Is that so?

462

Yes.

463

Since it's Qinhua's, it's up to my decision?

464

Consort Han, what are you trying to do?

465

Heard that in about a hundred steps, Yang Youji

466

would be able to shoot through a willow leaf.

467

He could even shoot a hole through a seven-layered armor.

468

That is indeed a truly magical archer.

469

Right here is a piece of jade ornament that happens to have a hole in the middle.

470

An arrow happens to be able to shoot through it.

471

Prince, I wonder if you would like to have a go at it?

472

Consort Han. That absolutely should not be done.

473

If that piece of jade ornament is damaged,

474

who would be able to bear the responsibility of guilt?

475

Your Majesty. the archery skill set of Yu'er is still a long way from excellence, we can't take the risk.

476

Royal Father. This piece of jade ornament is a precious treasure in the world.

477

I'm afraid...

478

If you dare not try, just say it.

479

What's the point of saying it's a precious treasure in the world, or that it's unrivaled?

480

That's really uninteresting.

481

The heroes of the state of Zhao are no more than this.

482

Archery that's just a child's play. Not watching it is fine too.

483

Please wait.

484

Allow me a try.

485

Prince, please.

486

This princess of Han State keeps on pressurizing.

487

Isn't she humiliating our state of Zhao for not having anyone?

488

Are you fine?

489

The winner is the one who shoots pass the gold cup.

490

Prince, you've lost.

491

It's not important who wins or who loses.

492

This is just a child's play. It's good enough to just be happy.

493

- Good!

- Good!

494

- Good!

- Good!

495

Hunting shot?

496

This piece of jade ornament is a precious treasure in the world.

497

It's also Royal Father's kind intention.

498

So, I request Consort Han to treat it with care.

499

That will be good for our states of Zhao and Han

500

to remain as allies forever.

501

Prince, thank you for your reminder.

502

I will bear it in my heart.

503

Good thinking, Yu'er.

504

Qiong Hua. Who should we bestow this gold cup to?

505

Both Princes' archery skills are very outstanding.

506

I think that Prince Yu's method is more interesting.

507

That matches my thoughts too.

508

Yu'er didn't disappoint me.

509

It's one level higher.

510

Men. Award the gold cup to Yu'er.

511

Great.

512

Thanks, Royal Father.

513

Congratulations to Brother Yu.

514

Your Highness.

515

Get the physicians.

516

Your Highness.

517

Han Consort, what is the matter?

518

Your Highness.

519

Get the physician.

520

Your Highness.

521

Hurry.

522

Hurry.

523

- Come get the medicine.

- Yu'er are you well?

524

Hurry. Men.

525

Please distribute to everyone.

526

Your Highness.

527

Come master.

528

Master, medicine.

529

Master, take this quickly.

530

Come.

531

Physician Yin, come quick.

532

Master, medicine here. Are you better?

533

Your Highness! She is dead.

♫ Where have the surging clouds and the rising winds gone? ♫

537

♫ Do not grieve over the separation

because of being forced to move and wander ♫

538

♫ In this lifetime, we will keep on seeking because of love ♫

539

♫ It’s difficult to reminisce about

the splendid times that slipped away ♫

540

♫ In retrospection with a faint smile,

that beautiful countenance caused the city's downfall ♫

541

♫ And a sweeping upheaval all across the vast nation ♫

542

♫ In a dimming dream of an illusionary bright moon ♫

543

♫ We have given our promises to each other in this lifetime ♫

544

♫ In the complete decline of prosperity,

watching the passing of thousands of sails ♫

545

♫ With affection, perhaps we could wait to be connected again ♫

546

♫ Like the zither and the harp that play in perfect harmony,

let’s grasp each other's hand to stay together ♫

547

♫ Wishing for you and me to be immortalized with the wind... ♫
