The Legend of Haolan

Episode 21

18

What is going on?

19

Your Majesty, according to my investigation,

20

there appeared to be a poisonous substance in the fish soup served at the banquet today.

21

Most people would not recognize its pre-processed state.

22

After processing, it becomes gamboge.

[A deep yellow pigment used in medicine as a laxative.]

23

A small amount of gamboge can be medicinal. More, however,

24

would cause stomach aches or vomiting.

25

Even more can cause death.

26

The opponent used this type of medicine to bypass the silver needle test.

[To test for sulfide - in ancient times, Arsenic containing sulfide was the most commonly used poison.]

27

Who would dare do this?

28

Your Majesty, I am responsible for this banquet.

29

It is my fault that the fish soup was poisoned.

30

Please punish me as you wish.

31

Li Haolan!

32

The banquet is a complicated affair,

33

we cannot place the blame on just one person.

34

Which lady-in-waiting is responsible for the food?

35

Your Majesty, Your Highness, this white fish is an offering.

36

One principality offered a chef. It must be him!

37

Bring the chef here!

38

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

39

Your Majesty, the chef has disappeared.

40

Probably because there were lots of people coming and going during the banquet today.

41

So, he must have disguised himself and escaped.

42

The person could leave?

43

One day, if I were to be beheaded, you all also wouldn't know who would be the killer. Right?

44

Useless! Leave!

45

Yes, Your Majesty.

46

Your Majesty, isn't it obvious who the culprit is?

47

Who is it? I have no idea.

48

If Your Majesty and Prince Yu are dead...

49

Whoever benefits the most from the demise of Your Majesty and Prince Yu is the culprit.

50

Royal Father, this is false accusation!

51

Why would I do something so despicable?

52

Princess Consort, you have no evidence to make such accusations.

53

I ate the fish soup too.

54

I checked all the fish soup served to the guests.

55

Only the Prince's portion contained no poison.

56

Your Majesty, you clearly heard it.

57

Your son is the one

58

who is using this banquet to get rid of his own father and brother.

59

I am not in charge of the banquet and I haven't gone near the kitchen. How could I poison the food?

60

Even if I used the poison,

61

I couldn't do something so obvious and set myself on fire.

62

Who's to say this is not Yu's devious plan

63

to frame his own brother?

64

Also that heart clearing pill... its completion is entirely too coincidental!

65

You make wild guesses. Doctor Yin is the culprit?

66

If Doctor Yin wants to poison someone to death, it's easier than killing a chicken.

67

Sir, the weather is hot so there's often food spoilage.

68

The Imperial Ministry of Physicians always prepare a hundred Heart-Clearing pills as backup, just in case.

69

This is the rule every year.

70

Are you trying to say that Prince Yu and I collaborated?

71

Who doesn't know about it in this palace? Physician Yin comes and goes as she pleases.

72

She is not controlled by anyone.

73

Prince, you are saying this only because you are trying to get off scot free!

74

To say that he has no opportunity to cast the poison.

75

From the highly-ranked officials to the lowly-ranked servants,

76

who wouldn't praise the Prince as being virtuous and a gentleman?

77

Such unfathomable scheming and swaying of other's mind,

78

how could there be no one willing to do the task for him?

79

Consort, don't worry. I will definitely find the perpetrator.

80

Your Highness, if it wasn't for God's kindness,

81

Chisu will not have any chance to make a complaint.

82

My pitiful Yu'er and the innocent Consort Mei.

83

And Princess Qiong Hua.

84

All are still sick in bed.

85

He...wants entire palace to die.

86

It's all because of his ambition.

87

Royal Father.

88

My fish soup was switched by Li Haolan.

89

If there's any manipulation, it must be connected to her.

90

Nonsense, this banquet was planned by Haolan from start to finish.

91

If she had casted the poison, she would setting herself on fire. Why would she be casting poison?

92

Lady-in-waiting Li is from Rising Sun Palace.

93

In order to defend himself, the prince

94

even implicated Her Highness in this matter.

95

Really wasted the Queen's efforts of rearing him.

96

If Lady-in-waiting Li wanted to harm you,

97

If she wanted to harm you, one bowl of poisonous soup would be simple and easy.

98

Is all this work necessary?

99

What a joke.

100

Men, take the prince away to be detained!

101

- Yes.

- Royal Father, listen to my explanation.

102

Royal Father, listen to my explanation.

103

Royal Father, I'm being falsely accused! Royal Father!

104

Princess.

105

What did you do at today's banquet?

106

I don't understand your question.

107

You accepted elder brother's favoring gesture. Leading him to be hopeful.

108

The only goal was to lead him onto the hook.

109

Princess was sick in bed from a mild cold. Missed the banquet today.

110

You probably not clear on the events in the banquets and just wildly guessing.

111

I am guessing that you deliberately knock down the fish soup in order to change it.

112

That's also to give suspicion to Elder Brother as the poison casting perpetrator.

113

was the one who added the poison.

114

Princess, whoever will be the future king of Zhao,

115

has nothing to do with an insignificant Lady-in-waiting like me.

116

Why would I take such a big risk to help Prince Yu?

117

Whether it is or not.

118

you know this very well in your heart.

119

The night wind is strong. Princess, be careful that you don't catch a cold.

120

Please go back and rest early. I'm taking my leave.

121

[Physician Hall]

122

What's going on?

123

I should be asking you instead. The dosage I added is only enough to cause pain in the abdomen.

124

Definitely will not kill someone.

125

But Chengxiu clearly overdosed on gamboge.

126

After you received the drug, who else did you see?

127

I didn't. After getting the drug from you, I immediately went back to Rising Sun Palace.

128

It's impossible for anyone to have manipulated it during that time.

129

Unless...

130

Haolan, whoever manipulated it,

131

you definitely know, right?

132

I...

133

Someone died today and you are still not telling the truth?

134

Lu Buwei.

135

Was it Lu Buwei?

136

Haolan!

137

You are here.

138

Lu Buwei, what did you do?

139

I should be asking you this instead.

140

Yes, I changed the plan.

141

Why?

142

Prince Jiao is very careful about his daily habits.

143

Only at such public even, his caution will be decreased.

144

Hence, you choose to take action during that time.

145

But you didn't know that he is highly cautious. Been taking slight dose of poison since young.

146

If unsuccessful in one attack, all will go to waste.

147

Hence, you changed your mind

148

Put gamboge in everyone fish soup.

149

Correct, I deliberately knock his soup bowl.

150

It's reverse psychology.

151

Turning the victim into the perpetrator.

152

That is a brazen trap.

153

What happened if Zhao King was unfortunate?

154

Since old times, the fight for the throne, from poisons

155

to swords - openly chopping down of father's and brother's heads were numerous.

156

The previous King Huiwen also during the fight for throne.

157

Allowed his own biological father to die while imprisoned during the chaos.

158

Hearing it, it sounds stupid and ruthless

159

But the lure of the throne is too immense. Anything can happen.

160

Zhao King had underwent throne fights previously. There's nothing he will not believe.

161

But the gamboge dose we administered were minimal. Should not kill anyone.

162

Lu Buwei, tell me. What did you do?

163

Me?

164

I only push the boat along the current.

165

Allowed Sitou Yue added increase the dose.

166

Lu Buwei, you killed someone!

167

Chengxiu is not your obstacle.

168

That daughter of the Cheng family killed a slave.

169

Cruel and vicious. That story shook entire Handang City.

170

I choose her to be the first scapegoat.

171

This is not your reason for killing someone.

172

Lu Buwei, in order to achieve your goal, you are capable of doing anything.

173

If it wasn't that you and I developed animosity.

174

How would Prince Jiao had opportunity to meddle in?

175

If you didn't hate Prince Jiao,

176

how could you have come up with a plan to lure him into your trap?

177

If you didn't set up the gamboge scheme, how can I add in the extra move?

178

All the opportunities were gradually delivered to me by you.

179

Who's to be blamed?

180

Haolan.

181

There are no battle that does not cause bleeding in the world.

182

Sacrifices are unavoidable.

183

Only if there's victim

184

then you know how detestable Prince Jiao is.

185

Even if there's no evidence,

186

His Majesty will not spare him too.

187

Even if you resent me,

188

blame and hate me.

189

If we go back to the start,

190

I will still do this.

191

I used to be in your debt.

192

allowed myself to be used by you.

193

but I have my limit.

194

For power and position, fame and fortune.

195

You will be ruthless, even use your life to keep climbing up.

196

I won't blame you. Everyone has the power to change their lives

197

but you shouldn't kill innocent people!

198

Yes, perhaps those whom you killed were not innocent

199

but you should have the justifications in killing anyone.

200

Lu Buwei, this is the last time.

201

I plea that you will not kill anyone in the future

202

Or else you and I will go separate ways.

203

and walk our own paths.

204

You didn't come back for six months. Now that you are back, are you busy in becoming a thief?

205

- Xiaochun, why are you back?

- Zhao Prince, Yi.

206

Didn't you make a house call?

207

What were you doing just now?

208

Just look around.

209

You are wounded.

210

I'm not. I'm really not.

211

Don't move.

212

I wrote ten letters to you

213

and you didn't even reply one. You are too cruel.

214

Did you say farewell to me?

215

Did you say farewell to me then?

216

Be gentle.

217

I was afraid that you would be unhappy.

218

Therefore...execute first then report?

219

Did anything change during the past six months?

220

What changes?

221

Did I became more elegant and handsome?

222

What's wrong? Playing chess alone here?

223

Why is it you?

224

I'm here to consult you regarding something.

225

Regarding the day of the banquet,

226

you probably know about the incident.

227

You should ask Prince Jiao instead.

228

Physician Yin. Physician Yin!

229

Physician Yin, I already told you many times

230

to stay far away from Li Haolan.

231

She won't do you any good.

232

If you have the evidence, just arrest us.

233

If you don't, just get lost from here.

234

I don't have time to listen to your nonsense.

235

I'm doing this for your own good.

236

If I want to kill you, I can do it anytime.

237

It's not because of your own skills not as good as others?

238

Yin Xiaochun!

239

General Gao, bullying a renowned woman

240

Its unfair advantage.

241

- Prince Yi?

- It has been a long time since I was in the palace.

242

You can still recognize me?

243

You are the rakish prince known throughout the six states.

244

Who wouldn't know you?

245

You!

246

Looks like physician YIn and Prince Yi have close relations.

247

- Forgive my intrusion.

- General took care of Xiao Chun.

248

I'm very grateful.

249

I will invite you for drinks on another day.

250

Let's go.

251

Have you thought it over?

252

I already did quite some time ago.

253

Come.

254

What do you think of two elder brother's archery skills?

255

Shocking skills.

256

They were only putting on a show.

257

That Gao Haoyang whom you just looked down on,

258

Is the only real high skilled archer.

259

Next time when you see him, you must avoid him.

260

You can't eat mine anymore. If you do, I will lose.

261

Fine, I will cede to you.

262

That's your move?

263

I'm going to eat them all.

264

Prince Yi, your chess is too rotten. You eat mine again.

265

- What's wrong?

- I'm a woman.

266

Can't you go easy on me?

267

I...it hurts. I was wrong. I will cede to you.

268

There's no sincerity. I'm not playing anymore.

269

Greetings, Mother.

270

What's wrong?

271

Older brother was detained by Royal Father.

272

Why are so calm?

273

Does Ya'er know why I am the Queen among so many beauties in the inner palace?

274

That's because I know how to make use of people.

275

Sit.

276

There's something I don't understand.

277

I don't have a son.

278

I can only find a successor among the princes of your Royal Father

279

but this person needs to be loyal to me.

280

How can you make him loyal?

281

Give him authority, let him seek power.

282

If this is the case, what will you be able to obtain?

283

Everything he possess was given by me.

284

The greedier he is, the more usable he will be to me.

285

Where the benefit is, where the loyalty lies.

286

If he is without any needs.

287

I shall be in danger.

288

Then right now, why did mother abandon him?

289

This person is too greedy.

290

Caused your father king to be alarmed by him.

291

Hence, he's threatening my position.

292

I can only sacrifice him.

293

I'm a bit clueless.

294

He can be blamed for being too anxious for everything.

295

Your Royal Father is still living well.

296

Yet he was anxious about heir to the throne.

297

Sinisterly running around in the court,

298

making associations.

299

Causing widespread comments and complaints.

300

Your father king only used this

301

to give him a head blow.

302

So the other party even grasped Royal Father's state of mind.

303

Even if there are many suspicious parts,

304

Royal Father will use this event for his own purpose.

305

But without him,

306

That Consort Yun and Prince Yue will be smug.

307

Frankly, regardless of who the future ruler of Zhao state is,

308

it will always be the Empress Dowager.

309

I'm not in such a rush.

310

Ya'er, remember this. Use him

311

Take his loyalty.

312

Abandon him, to smooth out the public compaints.

313

Kill him, to trade for someone's trust.

314

Look, it's beautiful.

315

It's so high. You are great.

316

Consort, look. The kite is flying very high.

317

It's you.

318

Paying respects to step mother.

319

I wonder what I said wrong.

320

Am I that old?

321

Careful.

322

Over here, Consort.

323

The kite. Consort, the string got cut off.

324

You both, go and retrieve it now.

325

Consort, spare my life.

326

It's such a small matter and you can't even do it well. You are useless.

327

Consort, spare my life.

328

Who's there? Arrest him!

329

I...I'm just retrieving a kite.

330

Retrieving a kite?

331

If you are just retrieving a kite, why are you so flustered?

332

Take him to prison and interrogate him.

333

Speak.

334

I...

335

I was merely retrieving a kite.

336

You came to Handan a month ago

337

and lived in a run-down temple.

338

I already ordered my men to search your place.

339

I found these four kites at where you are living.

340

Are you going to tell me that, every time, a string of a kite in the palace severs,

341

you will be there coincidentally to retrieve it?

342

The kites from the palace are exquisite.

343

I merely wanted to steal them in exchange for money.

344

Did you come to Handan from a thousand miles

345

just to retrieve kites?!

346

I'm telling you the facts.

347

These four kites are related to Princess Qiong Hua.

348

She won't be able to extricate herself from this.

349

Your life is hanging in the balance of one thought.

350

What are you talking about?

351

I don't understand.

352

Continue to beat him.

353

Prince, he killed himself.

354

He refused to talk even upon death.

355

There must be a secret that can't be revealed.

356

Magical Dew Palace.

357

Consort Han, today I arrested a man who was retrieving a kite outside the palace.

358

Not only just a man, he also has four beautiful kites.

359

Everyone, leave.

360

Are you interrogating me just because the string of a kite was severed?

361

Someone was waiting outside the palace every day.

362

Maybe two of you have some illicit affairs.

363

This is not called illicit affair.

364

It's called...passionate between man and woman.

365

You are very bold!

366

You even dare to have an illicit affairs with a man!

367

We were lovers when we were in Han state.

368

He's here for me today.

369

We used the kite to send affections.

370

Han Qionghua!

371

You are shameless!

372

Passion between man and woman. It's deemed proper and justified by heaven and earth.

373

Prince's animosity is making me unhappy.

374

But my secret has been discovered by you.

375

Perhaps, I should think carefully

376

How to bribe Prince?

377

I will definitely report today's event to Royal King.

378

Do you really mean that?

379

Don't keep me off at such long distance.

380

I took notice of you during the night of the banquet.

381

You are so full charisma.

382

You were looking at me too. Isn't that so?

383

Look at this, old fashion Prince.

384

This is passion.

385

How presumptuous!

386

You are a slutty and wanton woman.

387

Prince, dear Prince.

388

Look at yourself.

389

Looks like a young woman who was just seduced.

390

Regarding what happened today, I will definitely...

391

Tell the Emperor? If you have the evidence,

392

Why you have to work so hard to my confession?

393

You already knew.

394

You are still...

395

It has been boring.

396

I was just teasing you.

397

Rising Sun Palace.

398

Butterfly kite.

399

It's just an ordinary kite.

400

This is the kite Qiong hua uses to send love messages. It is not an ordinary kite.

401

Send love messages?

402

That's right. It's a pity that her lover killed himself.

403

Otherwise, I could have reported to Royal Father to charge her.

404

So to say, you have already interrogated her.

405

A pity that I couldn't get anything from her.

406

But got aced back by her instead.

407

Not only is this Princess Qiong Hua the top beauty of Han state,

408

she's also an intelligent person.

409

Prince will not get the advantage of her.

410

What do you mean by Princess of Han state?

411

Does she even behave like one?

412

In my opinion, she's only just...

413

What?

414

You are still laughing?

415

Haolan, why aren't you saying anything?

416

Is this kite very unique?

417

Haolan!

418

Wait.

419

What is this word?

420

I have never seen it.

421

I have never seen this word too.

422

Are you thinking of me?

423

Your Majesty, at this hour,

424

shouldn't you be in the imperial court?

425

A day not seeing beloved consort is like a three years.

426

Your Majesty, I don't want to.

427

I'm warning you.

428

Don't be willful because of my adoration of you.

429

Did something good happened seeing your happy mood?

430

Of course, it's a good thing.

431

There is a small victory at the front line. The Qin stopped advancing and is holding position.

432

Just like you, they are afraid of me.

433

I really hate men like this.

434

Only knows about offense and attacks all day.

435

Without ending. There will be peace

436

- if there are no men in this world.

- That's nonsense.

437

Qin's offense is injustice. I am in the right.

438

Battles are battles. What is the point of differentiating good and evil.

439

Attacks are attacks. Why use the people as an excuse?

440

In my opinion, it's not fun at all.

441

Why are we talking about war?

442

Follow this prescription, bring the pill after you create it.

443

Consort, I can not make this kind of medicine.

444

It's just some cardamom and cloves.

445

Doesn't the imposing Zhao Palace

446

have these items?

447

Consort, you forgot to mention a medicine.

448

Thyme.

449

What is wrong?

450

Dare I ask? What you are making,

451

Are you making ice thyme pill ?

452

You are truly a famed physician, you know it from prescription.

453

Taking ice thyme pill for the long term will preserve youth.

454

But the ingredient in this pill will also prevents pregnancy.

455

Consort, how will you use it?

456

I thought you hate me.

457

Whatever medicine I'm using, what business is that of yours?

458

Consort, I'm a physician.

459

Physician only treats illnesses, don't consider the patient.

460

What a joke. Whatever medicines the Consort uses,

461

who are you to teach her?

462

If you offend the Consort again,

463

Wouldn't be as simple as getting imprisoned in Punishment Hall.

464

To take this pill to preserve adoration.

465

It's like drinking poison to quench thirst. I will give one reminder.

466

Treating the king like a fool. You will not have a good ending.

467

Really can't do it.

468

Can't.

469

Then...go and die then.

470

Red Sun Palace.

471

Younger Brother Yi, you are back.

472

Older Brother.

473

Why are you perspiring? Is there anything urgent?

474

I have something urgent that I have to see Royal Father.

475

Younger Brother Yi. Younger Brother Yi!

476

Greetings, Royal Father.

477

You both are here.

478

It's rare. Come, let's eat together.

479

Royal Father, I have something urgent to report.

480

What urgent matters would you have? Let's eat first.

481

Royal Father.

482

Brother Yi, if there's anything urgent, let's talk later.

483

Beloved Consort.

484

Beloved Consort, I had to invite you several times to eat with me.

485

Look at your temper. Come here.

486

Since Your Majesty is not willing to see me,

487

- I'm going back.

- Don't!

488

I was only joking and you are really angry?

489

Such tender feeling.

490

I waited for you for half an hour.

491

Come.

492

This is...

493

Yi'er, he is always frolicking outside. Just recently returned to palace.

494

Yi'er, greet the Consort.

495

Prince Yi...

496

Such elegant air.

497

he has some of King's graceful demeanor.

498

He's just an unremarkable child.

499

You are just going to stand there?

500

Didn't you say that you had something to report to me?

501

- Royal Father.

- Royal Father.

502

Based on your idea,

503

I have already completed everything.

504

Provision replenishments will be immediately arriving at the front lines.

505

What are you talking about military matters again?

506

- You ruined my appetite.

- Who told you to talk about this?

507

When we are eating, we should talk about

508

sentimental topics.

509

to increase affections and appetites.

510

Sentiments are also artificial.

511

I'm not interested.

512

Then...let's...

513

Then we should talk while we are eating or sleeping.

514

I will keep quiet.

515

You should keep quiet too.

516

Talk another time. Leave.

517

May I be daring to ask Consort, Physician Yin went to your Magical Dew Palace, why is she yet to return?

518

Yin Xiaochun?

519

Did she come?

520

Report to conosrt. Luzhu didn't see physician Yin.

521

The assistant clearly said consort invited physician.

522

Is there a second Han Qionghua in the palace?!

523

How could you talk to her this way?

524

You don't observe any formalities at all.

525

Royal Father, I only wanted to know Xiaochun's whereabouts. It was not my intention to offend Consort.

526

I am guessing that Consort is privately holding her up and pretending otherwise.

527

I don't want to know the whereabouts of Xiaochun.

528

- Leave now.

- Royal Father.

529

Royal Father.

530

Younger Brother Yi was only too anxious and spoke in haste. Please forgive him.

531

Still not kneeling down? Hurry. Kneel down.

532

Xiaochun is a physician who treats and saves people. She doesn't know anything.

533

If she has offended the Consort...

534

Please consider that she saved your life once and forgive her.

535

You...are you going to let me eat or not?

536

- Royal Father.

- Leave!

537

Younger Brother Yi, you are causing havoc in the Red Sun Palace.

538

Do you want to cause trouble to Physician Yin? Let's go.

539

Royal Father, I'm taking my leave.

540

Come here. I think you are crazy.

541

If you continue to create problems, Royal Father will definitely kill Yin Xiaochun.

542

Yi, you've always been the most light-hearted one among us.

543

Why are you acting so irregularly this time?

544

I don't have anything. Xiaochun is everything to me.

545

You are a prince of Zhao state. What do you mean by saying that you have nothing?

546

Yi, is your brain still working?

547

How can you such nonsense because of a woman ?

548

Elder brother had been adored by parents since young.

549

Is the most respected and prized Prince. But I am different.

550

Since mother's passing, in this enormous palace,

551

There's no one else who care if I am hungry or thirsty.

552

Xiaochun is only a year older than I and she's always protecting me.

553

The two of us are like wild rats in the field growing up together.

554

Xiaochun is like my mother, my older sister and even more so, my lover.

555

Without Xiaochun, I wouldn't have been alive in this world.

556

If you were also me, would be you going crazy too?

557

Okay, don't panic.

558

I will help you to think of a solution. Okay?

559

[ Physician Hall ]

560

Stop crying.

561

But Physician Yin...

562

What's the use of crying?

563

Tonight, I am going to the Magical Dew Palace. I must save Xiaochun and get her out of there!

564

Then what? Flee to a remote corner of the world?

565

Greetings, Prince.

566

Lady-in-waiting Li is Physician Yin's best friend.

567

The matter is urgent. I didn't have the time to give Prince a detailed introduction.

568

Let's think of how to save Xiaochun, first.

569

- You can leave.

- Yes.

570

- Han Qionghua still wouldn't admit that she had detained Xiaochun.

- I know.

571

Is there no other solution now?

572

Not that there isn't. Perhaps, there's another solution.

573

Prince, you have traveled to far and varied places and are knowledgeable. Have you seen this form of writing before?

574

What has this to do with Xiaochun?

575

If you recognize these words, perhaps, Xiaochun may live.

576

I have definitely seen these words before.

577

Really?

578

This is Bird-Worm Seal script. It's a mysterious and strange writing.

[A calligraphic style based on seal script but with characters styled as birds and insects.]

579

But I have never seen this.

580

I've seen this on a century-old sword before.

581

This writing is also called Bird Seal script because the exterior looks too resplendent.

582

It was widely popular at one time.

583

But, in recent times, it is gradually vanishing. So, many people do not know about it.

584

Prince, will you be able to translate this?

585

I'm not very familiar with these words. I will give it a try.

586

Is it a love poem?

587

It doesn't seem like it. It's a poem on the first cloth.

588

How is it related to the other cloths?

589

But, I'm afraid I'll need some time to decipher the connection.

590

How long do you need?

591

I don't know.

592

Consort Han is detaining Xiaochun. She is probably in a dire situation. We need to hurry.

593

But... I am not confident.

594

Prince, Xiaochun is waiting for you. You must keep calm.

595

Who told you to take action?

596

Consort, this wench defied your order.

597

I merely wanted to teach her a lesson on your behalf.

598

You have disappointed me.

599

Consort, do you want to personally take action?

600

This is not right.

601

Why are there numbers at the end?

602

2...5. 25? What does this mean?

603

I translated the last three pieces.

604

But, what do the numbers at the end denote?

605

We are doomed. We are running out of time.

606

I got it.

607

Look.

608

Physician Hall.

609

This is...

610

- How is it?

- Older Brother.

611

- Greetings, Prince.

- Don't stand on ceremony. Did you decode the secret?

612

We just decoded the secret.

613

Let me take a look.

614

This is great.

615

I'm going to see Royal Father now.

616

- Older Brother!

- Prince!

617

- Older Brother, wait!

- Prince, wait!

618

What is this?

619

We must use this to save Xiaochun!

620

Younger Brother Yi. A woman when compared to the nation, which is important and which is not so important. Don't you even know?

621

- Move aside.

- Older Brother.

622

I don't care about that distinction. We discovered this, first!

623

You are presumptuous!

624

Stop him now!

625

Older Brother.

626

[ Physician Hall ]

627

Quick! Take the bamboo scroll! Go and save Xiaochun!

628

Lu Buwei! Quick! Stop her!

629

-Haolan...

- No need to say anything.

630

Xiaochun is my good friend. I can't just do nothing. I must save her.

631

Negotiating with Qiong Hua is extremely dangerous. You cannot go.

632

Those who block me shall die.

633

You are pointing a knife at me?

634

Yes.

635

You should know that,

636

it's not that I want to stop you from going. You just can't go.

637

You!

638

Evidence is only an object. Would you be willing to lose an important pawn for it?

639

Leave.

640

Lu Buwei! Are you crazy?!

641

You must not let her leave!

642

Prince, wait.

643

Lu Buwei, you have greatly disappointed me!

644

Prince, you already know the secret on the cloth. Why do you still need to persistently chase after it?

645

What's the use if I know the secret? The evidence is gone!

646

With the evidence, it's true that you are able to go and confront Your Highness.

647

But Han Qionghua is very cunning and is much favored.

648

If you go ahead in haste, what if...

649

Prince, you only need to capture the Han State spy and disrupt their plans.

650

That will be a huge merit.

651

As for Han Qionghua, it wouldn't be late to take care of her later.

652

I almost forgot the main objective.

653

You are right. I will immediately go capture the Han State spy.

654

I will settle the score with you when I return!
