The Legend of Hao Lan

17

Episode 24

18

After all is said and done, isn't it just a game.

19

Bribed the general guarding the door,

20

and then tell him to kill once he sees the handkerchief.

21

Then he lets himself use the handkerchief to write the suicide note.

22

The content of this book about deaths

23

is naturally cautioning me

24

about the internal strife within the palace leading to deaths, and that is caused by legitimate concubines against illegitimate ones.

25

Even if they can't find me guilty,

26

they can still ruin my reputation.

27

You made some good calculations.

28

Your Highness.

29

You also kept trying to entice Haolan

30

but she didn't want to be a part of the plan,

31

So you thought of this maneuver, take away firewood from under the cauldron.

[A drastic measure to deal with a situation.]

32

You are truly seeing a gap and inserting a needle.

[Seizing every opportune opportunity and acting on it.]

33

Your Highness.

34

I was wrong.

35

I was temporarily blinded by lard and that's why I ended up doing something like this.

36

Yun Chisu,

37

do you know why after all these years you can't make a comeback?

38

It's because you are dumb.

39

So dumb that you cannot see Han Qionghua's trap.

40

It's also because you have no courage.

41

If I were you, I would have already killed Haolan.

42

After going in such a big circle,

43

in the end, you still weren't able to protect yourself.

44

There is no cure for your stupidity.

45

You Highness.

46

Your Highness. I was wrong.

47

Please spare me this time.

48

All right.

49

Go receive thirty lashes on your own. Get lost.

50

You're awake.

51

Xiaochun, it hurts badly. It hurts badly!

52

Xiaochun, I'm in great pain.

53

Help me.

54

- It's fine now.

- Xiaochun.

55

It's fine now, Haolan.

56

You have to thank Her Majesty for being able to live.

57

Her Majesty?

58

Consort Yun let you leave the palace,

59

because the Head Commander at the White Tiger Gate already received a secret order ahead of time.

60

To kill immediately when they see someone with the handkerchief.

61

So from the start,

62

she was planning to kill me.

63

It wasn't her intention to kill you.

64

She extremely hates Her Majesty.

65

Once you die,

66

and from your body recover the suicide note that incriminates Her Majesty.

67

Even if she can't be accused of murder,

68

it can still ruin her reputation as the queen.

69

After all, His Majesty was only momentarily angry.

70

He doesn't really want your life.

71

Such a kind face.

72

Yet her heart is actually very vicious.

73

Who told you not to reverse your dagger to stab your own (turn against your own)?

74

She ends up with the only option of having to make a dead person manifest the talk.

75

I understand now.

76

The more pitiful Sister Haolan is, the more His Majesty's heart will ache.

77

Wouldn't that make him pardon and release an innocent you?

78

Foolish girl, you finally understand now.

79

But, if Her Majesty wants to save someone in this way,

80

why does she still have to flog me?

81

Of course. It's to show to the outsiders.

82

Her Highness did it this way...

83

It not only pardoned me but also awed the entire inner palace.

84

From now on,

85

who would dare to offend the dignity of Her Highness.

86

Haolan momentarily lacked caution and implicated Her Highness.

87

Your Highness, I request your forgiveness.

88

This matter, you really didn't handle it well.

89

Bring it up.

90

Ah Zhao!

91

Look carefully. This is the servant Consort Yun planted.

92

She even dares to bite me.

93

Your Highness, I am innocent!

94

Lady Li, you have to believe me!

95

I have never thought of harming you.

96

I have never secretly passed any news to Consort Yun!

97

I beg you! You have to believe me!

98

Someone is definitely trying to frame me!

99

Yun Chisu,

100

used a golden pearl to buy your life.

101

How pitiful. Take her out and flog her to death.

102

- Yes.

- Your Highness! Your Highness!

103

I really did not do it!

104

Your Highness! Please spare my life!

105

[ Protect Peace Palace ]

106

Qin Royal Descendant.

107

What are you doing?

108

Nothing. I was just looking around casually.

109

Your zither is fixed. Do you want to try it?

110

Haolan, did you really not know that Consort Yun had an ulterior motive?

111

I can't predict the future.

112

Han Qionghua wanted to test Her Highness.

113

Her Highness' intention was to strike the mountain to jolt the tiger.

[A deliberate show of strength as a warning.]

114

The both of them were watching you closely simultaneously but by chance.

115

I thought you would push the boat with the current (take advantage of the situation for one's own benefit), and used yourself as the bait

116

to lure the discontented person within the palace.

117

First, you completed the task assigned by Her Highness.

118

Second, His Majesty and Her Highness will protect you.

119

That's beyond the capacity of Han Qionghua and those two consorts.

120

In the future, no one in the palace in the Zhao state will dare to touch you.

121

They need to be scrupulous about you.

122

Royal Descendant of Qin, you are thinking too much. I'm not that smart.

123

I really didn't know anything.

124

Consort Yun was whipped and couldn't get up from bed.

125

Consort Mei lost her trusted aide and is on a constant state of anxiety.

126

Frankly, I know that you also deliberately let Consort Mei off the hook.

127

Why?

128

It's already in the past.

129

By the way, Royal Descendant of Qin, when I was detained,

130

the sound of your zither was like a meandering stream

131

and an indulgent waterfall.

132

You didn't understand?

133

What's wrong?

134

At that time, I wanted to advise you that

135

danger is at your fingertips and not to trust anyone.

136

[ Flag of Qin ]

137

[ Bai Li Shi ]

138

[ Zhao's General: Lian Po ]

139

[ Qin's General: Wang Chen ]

140

Little Kid Lian Po with courage of a mouse.

141

Besieged for many months and scared to fight.

142

Courage of a mouse, scared to fight!

143

Courage of a mouse, scared to fight!

144

Courage of a mouse, scared to fight!

145

Royal Father, ever since General Lian erected the Great Wall of Bai Li Shi city,

146

he kept holding on to the rampart.

147

No matter how the Qin army challenged him, he refuses to fight.

148

But if this continues, not only will the Qin army be depleted,

149

my army will be able to hold out for much longer too.

150

But I have already issued three military orders.

151

Lian Po keeps coming up with excuses that it's not the right timing and rejected sending out the soldiers.

152

I can't keep changing the general in the middle of this crisis.

153

Changing the general midway is a military taboo.

154

I think we should send an envoy now

155

to lobby the other states to provide military aid.

156

Fine, let's send more envoys to various states to seek for help.

157

End of court.

158

Royal Father, did you forget that Mount Mafu is being surrounded?

159

From this incident, we now know the ulterior motives of Wei, Chu and Han states.

160

As a last resort, no one is willing to send out the soldiers.

161

Seeking help at this time, I fear it will be a wasted effort.

162

Tell me what I should do then.

163

Negotiate for peace with the people of Qin.

164

Peace negotiation?

165

This battle's been long drawn out.

166

The Qin attacked Hundred Li Stone City several times without success.

167

That shows Qin is very eager to finish off this battle.

168

There's hope if we were to negotiate a peace now.

169

Royal father, I was not being temperamental in I supporting that we continue battling Qin.

170

Think about it everyone, Qin State had used all their resources.

171

They are ferocious in their intent. Their goal is not only Changping.

172

Their real goal is Handang. They will not agree to a peace talk.

173

The two states are in a standstill, that give the chance for a peace talk.

174

Old General Lian in the front lines had been loosing one segment after another.

175

This is not the third defense line.

176

Once lost, then would be too late to send someone to Qin for peace negotiation.

177

Royal father, whether to negotiate or fight, we must make a decision.

178

Can not delay any further.

179

Then who will go to QIn for the peace talk?

180

Who is suitable to go?

181

Your Majesty, Qin is like the den of wolves and tigers. They don't speak with reason.

182

Going to QIn now will mostly likely lead to death.

183

Qin army is eagerly looking at us, would they agree to peace negotiations?

184

It's of no benefits, like speaking with a tiger.

185

Your Majesty, the minute we get there, our heads will fall off.

186

The loss outweighs the gain.

187

During normal times, each of you steer the kingdom.

188

With arrogance towering the sky, ordering about with your gestures.

189

Now it's time for your service,

190

Everyone of is scared by a mouse, full of misgivings.

191

What use do I have for you?

192

We are guilty.

193

Royal father, when were raising funds for the provisions, I recommended Lu Buwei.

194

This time, I will also recommend him.

195

Do you have some new moves?

196

Your Majesty, Lu Buwei is only a mere minor government official.

197

Never been to other states.

198

Will be irregular and butt of a joke.

199

I believe that Prime Minster is accurate.

200

If we were really going to negotiate with QIn, then we should not slight it.

201

Master Lu is still young, can not handle such important mission.

202

Please select another person.

203

A mere merchant, peach negotiation is a major issue, it is not child's play.

204

He is only good at benefiting through debating, he doesn't have any political achievements.

205

To send him will be a lose of our demeanor.

206

Wind up letting Qin laugh that we have no one capable.

207

Then who can go? You ?

208

Or you, or you?

209

Lu Buwei is young and capable, intelligent and brave.

210

He also travelled to many countries, has good relations with Qin.

211

If he doesn't go, who will?

212

Subtitles brought to you by The Scintillating Team @ Viki.com

213

In that case Treasurer Lu does seem like a good candidate?

214

Your Majesty, I only understand business. I do not understand negotiation.

215

He is only a merchant.

216

You don't need to worry about that, we will send a team of diplomats to assist you.

217

There are helpers.

218

Lu Buwei, the King had favored with many graces, now that the country is in trouble.

219

You don't want to consider repaying?

220

Your Majesty, I am willing to go.

221

But I beg for one request.

222

Allowed.

223

To show sincerity, please allowed that I bring Royal Descendant with me.

224

That is not allowable.

225

Your Majesty, if Zhao were to return the Royal Descendant plus agreeing to return to Shangdang,

226

Then, this peace negotiation is more hopeful.

227

The city is negotiable but Royal Descendant must not be returned.

228

If Zhao continue to keep Royal Descendant as hostage while negotiating for peace. Then that is a joke.

229

Releasing Royal Descendant, QIn will not have reservations.

230

Royal father, absolutely not.

231

Keeping Royal Descendant in Zhao will not stop the war, but if release,

232

he definitely can persuade for a stop to the war.

233

Is it persuading or adding fuel to the fire?

234

Royal Descendant had been hostage for numerous years, it is expected that would seek revenge.

235

Prince, are you wanting Qin to suspect our sincerity? Or want to deliberately wreck the peace negotiation?

236

I think you are using the peace negotiation as excuse to let the tiger back into the mountains.

237

All right, the two of you both stop.

238

As long as Qin agrees to a peace talk,

239

then I will allow Yin Yiren completely back. Will not break this promise.

240

Your Majesty, Lu Buwei will use every effort to achieve peace between the two states.

241

As long as your peace negotiation succeeds,

242

I will give a handsome reward surpassing all of your business operations.

243

Many thanks to Your Majesty.

244

How can you agree to such conditions?

245

This is our last chance.

246

What chance?

247

Deliver Royal Descendant back to Qin.

248

Do you know how many additional guards are posted at the palace gate?

249

Prince JIao's eyes had been continuously watching us.

250

How to get out? It's impossible.

251

As one is living, it is to change the impossible into possible.

252

How do you plan to proceed?

253

Day after tomorrow is Double Ninth Festival, the King and Queen go out for sightseeing.

254

Ascending to a high point to enjoy the view. Prince Jiao is highly suspicious.

255

He will not allow Royal Descendant to remain in palace by yourself.

256

Therefore we will do it on the way.

257

Wishful thinking, at that time the security will extremely tight. Not chance for your plan.

258

Succeed or not, still have to give one last struggle.

259

It is too dangerous.

260

Both countries will eventually fight a war.

261

If Qin wins, Royal Descendant will surely die.

262

What if Zhao wins?

263

If Zhao wins,

264

Qin Royal Descendant will be imprisoned for life.

265

I asked the two of you remembers that this is the very last chance.

266

Using Qin's hand to kill Lu Buwei.

267

Elder Brother's scheme is truly brilliant.

268

Lu Buwei is sneaky, I was surprise to see him agreeing.

269

I also think this matter is very strange.

270

Regardless the diplomatic team will start out immediately.

271

He does not have chance to think of a scheme.

272

That's not necessarily true, Double Ninth Festival is coming up right away.

273

According to palace regulations, royal father and mother will climb Cut Arrow Ridge to pray for good fortunes.

274

At that time...

275

Qin Royal Descendant is an esteemed guest, how can he be left alone in the palace?

276

But its not all safe on the way there either.

277

the are many guards up and down the mountain,

278

Lu Buwei will not be able to escape even if had wings this time.

279

The terrain at Cut Arrow Ridge dangerous.

280

Elder Brother, by any chance, do you have any ulterior motive?

281

Surely nothing escaped Ya'er eyes.

282

I don't care about others,

283

- but...

- Don't worry.

284

I will return Qin Royal Descendant whole back to you.

285

As for others, they shouldn't consider coming back.

286

The clouds were thick before, I was expecting a big rainstorm.

287

The cloud clear instantaneously.

288

Yes, I hope we have good weather on Double Ninth day too, then we can climb up there.

289

Good weather?

290

Right, it will definitely have good weather.

291

Xiashu.

292

Here.

293

It's time, let him come see me.

294

Yes.

295

Double Ninth Festival, Cut Arrow Ridge.

296

Its your only chance to kill her.

297

What does Princess seek?

298

I help you out of my resentment, I do not seek any reciprocate.

299

Except that day there will heavy security, you need to be extra careful.

300

I will also despatch some help to ensure all is well.

301

Thanks to Princess' reminder.

302

Princess, if the Queen finds out about this matter.

303

In order to reach the goal, I have no fear even if Mother punishes me.

304

Did the new material and bamboo slips we requested arrive yet?

305

All delivered.

306

A Yue, what are you doing?

307

We are leaving the palace soon, I am readying our luggage.

308

Don't bring so many things.

309

Just pick one set light clothing is enough.

310

Put down the jewelery.

311

That's not enough, Sister Haolan, we are going to Qin.

312

Those stuff are not even enough for way there.

313

We are going to hiking, we will be back soon.

314

If you bring a big luggage, you will evoke suspicions.

315

Why am I so dumb?

316

You are not dumb, you are too happy.

317

I am going to be smothered to death in the palace. It is really scary here.

318

My brain needs to turn three times before I utter one word.

319

Even if I misspoke one sentence, my butt is almost messed up.

320

Crude.

321

Yes, crude. I won't speak of it anymore.

322

Sister Haolan, we are going to escape this sea of bitterness (depths of misery) soon.

323

Why are you still not happy?

324

The more happy one is, the more calm and collect one must maintain.

325

Put the happiness until after the matter is completed.

326

Come.

327

Mother, look.

328

The little paths in the field are interweaving. A look at it shows how vast it is.

329

Also, there's a lake far away.

330

That's River Qin. It begins on the west of Mount Zi and flows into the east of Fuyang.

331

It's very long.

332

I know.

333

Every March,

334

countless young men and women will travel there for a picnic.

335

The water is flowing and revels to one's heart content.

336

I wanted to out there to see often.

337

Regrettably had very little chance to do it.

338

Then you should lock that yearning into your mind.

339

Don't ever attempt to realize it.

340

Once realized, you will be greatly disappointed.

341

I don't understand.

342

This river that you like used to be full of willow.

343

Willow.

344

Then the scenery must be very pretty.

345

Willows luxuriant, fine drizzle in succession.

346

It is very pretty.

347

During last Zhi Day, there was Handang girl.

348

She was covered with a gauze kerchief over her head.

349

She quietly came to the outskirt lake for an outing.

350

That day, she sweep past eye full of greenery,

351

ripples of azure waves.

352

heading toward the bamboo forest.

353

Saw an elegant man practicing sword in the forest.

354

"The countryside is covered with green grass and dewdrops."

355

"There's a beauty looking forward to tease".

356

"I have a chance to meet today which makes me fall in love at first sight".

357

Mother, did they fell in love at first sight?

358

Exactly opposite.

359

She thinks he was a little foolish, who will be loitering among the trees?

360

But he was very persistent, took great pains.

361

Finally slowly she develops affection.

362

But later she found out he already made marriage promise.

363

His fiancee is...actually her sister.

364

She firmly cuts off the relation and refuse to see him.

365

but he persisted every day,

366

he went on hunger strike..

367

finally forced his parents to change their minds.

368

That is love fated by the Gods.

369

No one can break such apart.

370

That time, he often whispered in her ears.

371

"I used to go to Yang, Yiliu Yiyi."

372

"Today I come to think in the rain and snow."

373

That is mother's favorite poem.

374

On the way home, in severe weather,

375

even if it's miserable and bleak but he's still full of hopes.

376

Because in his hometown,

377

There's that willows luxuriant, gentle breeze and fine drizzle for company.

378

Also that lover long separated.

379

Depend and support each other.

380

It is the most beautiful story in the mortal world.

381

He would never though that with continuous battles, hearts easily betrays.

382

That person already forgotten him.

383

That house that they held each other in.

384

Is no longer a home.

385

Ya'er, only when you reached my age, will you know.

386

I feel my ending will not be the same.

387

All the people thinks they are unique, but not so in reality.

388

No one can escape the trick's fate play on us.

389

No one.

391

There's an ambush. I'm getting down.

392

There are assassins! Protect His Majesty and Her Highness!

393

Older Sister Haolan, wait for me.

394

Ah Yue, be careful.

395

Master's guess is indeed correct.

396

Take actions now!

397

Someone is even more ruthless than me.

398

Protect the carriage! Retreat!

399

Protect the carriage! Retreat!

400

- What are you doing? Get in the carriage!

- I'm going with you.

401

You are not going anywhere? What will I do if you are wounded? Get in the carriage!

402

Royal Descendant, let's go.

403

Older Sister Haolan, it's time. Meet up with the Master now!

404

Be careful.

405

Royal Descendant, leave now.

406

When you arrive at the base of the mountain, someone will receive you.

407

- Where's Haolan?

- We have arranged to meet at the base of the mountain.

408

Save me! Help!

409

- Save me!

- Haolan?

410

Stop the carriage. Save me!

411

Save me!

412

Save me!

413

Stop the carriage now!

414

Royal Descendant Qin.

415

Leave now!

416

Everyone says that Royal Descendant Qin has a weak constitution.

417

I found out today that it's just a cover up.

418

You are overpraising me. It was just to save lives and a publicity.

419

Release her and I ensure that you will leave safely.

420

It's a pity that she killed my most beloved woman.

421

A life for a life!

422

Who are you?

423

Do you still remember Xiao Hongye?

424

That Lady-in-waiting who was killed by you?

425

You are her lover.

426

She was my future wife.

427

In order to get funds to help with my promotion,

428

she stole the jewel and was killed by you!

429

This is very strange.

430

She died under the hands of Her Highness. What has this to do with me?

431

Shut up! A woman like you should be cut into thousand of pieces!

432

Stop.

433

Don't come near me!

434

What are you trying to do?

435

If I die today, I will take her along with me!

436

Speak. What should we do before you will release her?

437

The both of you, step back. Let me leave.

438

- I agree.

- Impossible.

439

What? Difference in opinions? Who should I listen to?

440

Lu Buwei, let him go.

441

He will harm Haolan.

442

Do you think that by capturing her, you can threaten me?

443

Who is she? She's nothing to me.

444

Lu Buwei!

445

Kill her! I want you to kill her!

446

I will really kill her!

447

Coward. You are the real killer instead.

448

What did you say?

449

Xiao Hongye didn't steal the jewel for you.

450

She didn't do it for you to remain in the palace.

451

She didn't do it for you to fight for your benefits.

452

Nonsense. You are spouting nonsense.

453

She didn't kill anyone. It was you.

454

You could protect your beloved person.

455

- It's all because you are incapable and stupid.

- Shut up!

456

You are the most idiotic man in the kingdom!

457

Haolan.

458

Royal Descendant Qin! Royal Descendant Qin!

459

Lu Buwei, why are you still standing there?

460

Royal Descendant is wounded. Come and help now.

461

The soldiers on the chase will be here soon. Let's leave now.

462

No, Royal Descendant Qin is wounded now. He needs a physician to treat him.

463

If we are late, our efforts will be wasted.

464

Lu Buwei, do you really want to kill Royal Descendant Qin?

465

I'm saving him.

466

General Gao.

467

Thank heaven and earth, you are finally here.

468

Yes. When I received the report at the base of the mountain, I immediately rushed here.

469

What's going on?

470

Royal Descendant Qin met an assassin.

471

Quick, help Royal Descendant up the mountain.

472

Let's go.

473

So, how is it?

474

I'm asking you a question.

475

This arrow didn't kill him but it injured his heart meridian.

476

How to treat this then? What medicine is needed?

477

How should we nurse him? As for the food and drinks, what should we take note of?

478

Princess, Royal Descendant of Qin is ill now.

479

He needs peace to rest. Please keep quiet.

480

How dare you!

481

Princess, Her Highness wants to see you.

482

I'm not going. Before Royal Descendant wakes up, I'm not going anywhere.

483

- But Her Highness...

- Didn't you hear what I said?!

484

I fear if I infuriate Her Highness, she will resent Royal Descendant...

485

Yin Xiaochun, I have faith in your ability.

486

I will tolerate your temper but if Royal Descendant is hurt in any way,

487

I will take your life!

488

Princess, what are you doing?

489

Royal Descendant is in this condition because of you. You still dare to show up here?!

490

I feel guilty for Royal Descendant being hurt

491

but I owe Royal Descendant of Qin and not you.

492

Do I need a reason to teach a servant a lesson?

493

Princess is momentarily in a state of panic and has lost her cool.

494

If this reaches Her Highness's ears, she will immediately choose a son-in-law

495

and marry you off to a distant place to avoid this scandal from affecting the reputation of His Majesty.

496

Also, regarding Mount Mafu,

497

Princess, did you totally forgot about this?

498

I know your words are sharp and I salute your courage.

499

But because of you, I almost lost my beloved person.

500

Li Haolan, starting from today, I won't let you take any steps closer to Royal Descendant.

501

Princess, loving someone is just like sand in your palms.

502

The tighter you clasp, the faster you will lose it.

503

When will you know how to respect Royal Descendant

504

before he will really look at you?

505

Mother, looking for me?

506

Look, your older brother just gifted me a yellow warbler.

507

Is it pretty or not?

508

If there are no other instructions, I'm taking my leave now.

509

You are not allowed to go anywhere.

510

He's hurt. His injury is very serious.

511

Let him die then.

512

Mother.

513

You keep hanging around the hostage prince every day.

514

Aren't you afraid that the people in the kingdom would laugh at you?

515

At this moment, regardless of what you say, I need to be with him.

516

If you dare to take a step, I will kill you.

517

Mother, why are you being so cold as to stop me?

518

Because he's from Qin? Because he's a hostage prince?

519

Because you are my only daughter.

520

Among the men in the kingdom,

521

you can choose anyone.

522

You can fall in love with a peddler or servant.

523

You can also fall in love with a condemned rebel

524

but you must not fall in love

525

with someone who doesn't love you.

526

But in my heart, as long as I achieve my goal,

527

and obtain the one whom I love, I don't care about anything else.

528

Including losing your self respect and being shameless?

529

Guan Guan go the ospreys, on the islet in the river.

530

The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady. For the prince, she's a good mate.

531

Mother, you kept telling me that there are no differences between men and women.

532

Why does men have the rights to pursue love and not for women?

533

I told you to fight for what you want but I already told you,

534

that as a woman,

535

you should receive favors, love and happiness and not to not have a hard time.

536

"The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady,"

537

It's the process that everyone loves but tiring.

538

You have everything in your fingertips.

539

Royal Descendant of Qin is not that special at all.

540

If a woman doesn't has any spine,

541

and always bow down to a man,

542

even if he's the one you love, he will look down on you.

543

Xiaochun, tell me honestly.

544

How is Royal Descendant of Qin's injury?

545

Let me say this. If someone else were to treat him,

546

we would need to place his corpse in a coffin.

547

Xiaochun!

548

Don't panic. Didn't he run into me?

549

Don't worry. He will regain consciousness soon.

550

It's just that his heart meridian was injured. He needs to recuperate for six months.

551

Will he recover and go back at his original form?

552

It's already lucky that he could preserve his life.

553

If he recovers from the treatment,

554

From now on, he may have tightness in his chest and pains too.

555

Haolan, you are right.

556

If he had left Zhao state,

557

I fear that before he reaches the border, he would have died.

558

Master, why didn't you ask for the physician?

559

No one must know about this.

560

You don't want anyone to know

561

or you don't want Older Sister Haolan to find out?

562

You are overthinking.

563

No, I'm not.

564

It's you who keep lying to her.

565

- I didn't.

- You did.

566

Not only did you lie to her, you are lying to yourself too.

567

Pretending to be emotionless towards her, and pretending not to love her.

568

Pretending to be a block of stone, pretending not to be pain and wouldn't bleed.

569

Situ Yue...

570

You distinctly got hurt because of her

571

but why didn't you tell her?

572

Why must you let her misunderstand you?

573

Since I wanted to cut off her love,

574

I shouldn't let her heart be wavered.

575

But she hates you.

576

This is not what I wanted.

577

Older Sister Haolan said that you were cruel.

578

I didn't believe it but I believe now.

579

No only are you cruel to others, you are cruel to yourself too.

580

You don't give yourself any escape route.

581

Don't say anymore.

582

No, I insist on talking.

583

Master, why must you treat Older Sister Haolan this way?

584

Why must you treat yourself this way?

585

You won't understand.

586

When I first met Haolan, I knew that she was very similar to me.

587

When we run into difficulties,

588

we wouldn't admit losing.

589

I fear when we run into a blind alley, we will still want to dash.

590

The both of us are just like light and shadow,

591

with mutual attraction.

592

Of course, we would fall in love with each other.

593

But we have different goals.

594

Power and status, to her,

595

why not have a warm family instead?

596

As for me, I can't give that to her.

597

I shouldn't give her any hopes.

598

You will definitely regret in the future.

599

What I want, it's only power.

600

I don't know what regret is.

601

You...!

602

Did those assassins confess?

603

Reporting, Your Majesty. All the assassins are dead by killing themselves.

604

You couldn't get anything out from them?

605

Under the broad daylight, so many members of my team have been killed.

606

You didn't even get anything from the interrogation?

607

I have sinned.

608

Royal Father, General Gao just brought his soldiers to safeguard the base of the moubtain.

609

If he didn't rush here in time,

610

I fear we would have been buried at Arrow Ridge.

611

Why don't we forgive him?

612

I'm willing to accept my punishment. Your Majesty, please punish me.

613

I advise that we let General Gao continue to investigate this case

614

and place him on probation for his crime for rendering his service.

615

Search the entire Handan city to find the perpetrator.

616

I will abide.

617

How is Yu'er now? What did the physician say?

618

Younger Brother has the blessings of heaven and also has a physician treating him.

619

He will recover in a matter of time.

620

There's no need for you to worry.

621

No, I'm going to see him now.
