The Legend of Xiao Chuo

Episode 13

His Majesty blinded

one of King Zhimo's eyes.

His Majesty even had King Zhimo castrated.

Zhimo?

Is he the brother of Princess Xian?

They are the only two sons,

left by the late Emperor.

Young lady!

Where's that maid?

The situation was too chaotic.

We didn't pay much attention to her.

Maybe she was taken in

by the guards.

Go to Nüli,

tell him bring the maid

to me.

Yes.

Now go.

His Majesty

deserted all his followers.

He lost all support from others.

Let's go.

(Palace entrance)

You are Anzhi?

Yes, Your Excellency.

Who sent you to seduce Zhimo?

To frame him up?

Your Excellency.

I am truly in love with King Zhimo.

We promised our lives together.

How could I harm him?

Your Excellency.

How is King Zhimo now?

Please, let me see him.

I beg you, I beg you.

You want to see him now?

Promised your lives together?

You think you can lie to me,

like you lied to Zhimo?

If you really love him,

what did you do

when he was injured and tortured?

Did you shed a tear for him?

Or did you plead for him?

Your Excellency.

I'm just a weak woman.

I was scared.

I was really scared, Your Excellency.

I love King Zhimo so much.

I do!

I can let you live.

That two eyes of yours,

if you don't know how to use them right,

I'll dig them out for you.

I don't care how,

but you're going to make him eat.

You make him take the medicine.

You make him live.

If you fail,

I will bury you to him.

I will do it, I will.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Master,

take the medicine.

I know you don't want to see me.

I wish

I could have died for you.

If I knew

this would bring such a disaster to you,

I would rather

die in the lake that day.

I can die.

All I want is for you

to stop destroying yourself.

It was all my fault.

If you don't want to live,

then I'll go die first

before you do.

When we are six-feet under,

if you still want me,

I'll come and be your maid.

Wait!

I risked my life for you.

I didn't do so to watch you die.

Master.

I'm not afraid to die.

I'm afraid

you don't want me anymore.

I have nothing now.

I'm now a useless shit.

Says who?

In my eyes,

you'll always be my

King Zhimo.

Always.

Anzhi.

Don't ever leave me.

Never leave me.

Master, take your medicine.

Let's get you recovered.

I will always be with you.

Master, where are you going?

I promised to see Yanyan today.

It's this hour now,

Miss Yanyan is probably not there.

The restaurant is already closed.

I'll go even she's not there.

I don't want to miss our date.

Master, the palace is at lock-down.

You go at this hour,

get the palace gate to open, get carriage running,

break all the rules,

out of the palace and into the city,

just to go to a closed restaurant

in the middle of the night.

This kind of behavior

is not like you.

I know I might not be doing the right thing.

But I don't want to suppress myself anymore.

Just let me

do what I want for this once.

Master, we'll be at the restaurant soon.

The restaurant is still on.

Here.

Come.

King Mingyi!

I didn't know you would still be here

at this hour.

I heard what happened in the palace.

I ran over here

to wait for you.

Thank you.

Are you OK?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Would you care to drink with me?

Sure. Let's get wasted.

So you've been waiting for me?

Not really.

Actually, I had a date

with brother Derang in the day.

But he never came.

So I figured maybe

something happened at the court.

Then Uncle Husi told me all about it,

I knew

something happened to you.

I then remembered

you and I were supposed to meet today.

Actually, I don't know

if you're coming or not.

But

I don't want to disappoint you

for not showing up.

All these years,

I put up with everything

and everybody.

But in the end,

I still couldn't save Zhimo.

Father and mother were long gone.

In this whole wide world,

Zhimo is my only brother.

I can take any fall for him.

I can deal with

any kind of torture.

But why he has to torture Zhimo?

It's not your fault.

You did your best.

If...

If you want to cry,

then just cry.

I knew ever since I was a kid,

tears

mean nothing.

But I'm just...

I'm just too worried...

I'm afraid,

I'm afraid if I can't take it anymore,

what should I do?

I'm just afraid...

Mingyi,

in all this world,

you're the only one left

to take care of King Zhimo.

You will go through this.

Everything will be fine.

(Memorial tablets of Liao's ancestors)

Father and mother would never see this coming.

I can be here even they didn't let me to.

Later when they bow down,

let's say it together, you may rise now.

Long live the Yelü clan.

From now on,

the Emperor and Empress will cherish all people.

All our generations will live in peace.

You may rise now.

Leave!

Mother!

Yelü Chage!

You're awake.

Why am I here?

You had a lot of wine last night.

And then you fell asleep.

I wanted to wake you up.

But I couldn't.

I didn't want to leave you here alone.

So I stayed with you.

All these years,

even if there's this tiny sound,

I wouldn't be able to sleep.

I've never had

a nice and tight sleep like this.

Is it because of the wine?

Maybe.

Or

it's because of your company.

So I felt more reassuring.

By the way,

next time,

if you have anything that bothers you,

you go tell brother Derang.

He will do his best

to help you.

Thank you.

Master, let's return to the palace.

Yeah.

You were out all night.

It's time to go.

Otherwise,

they might be looking for you.

I have to get going, too.

Or my father will be mad.

Go and have some rest.

Goodbye.

(Bistro Hengshan)

For more than ten years,

I've never slept like that.

You are the only one who can make me feel at ease.

Yanyan.

You are a gift

from God Tengri to me.

Get up.

Your Excellency.

It's OK.

Your Excellency, you look good today.

Master,

King Zhimo recovers well.

Thanks to Anzhi's care.

Miss Anzhi.

Thank you.

No, it's OK.

If you need anything

in the palace,

just let Po know.

He'll arrange it for you.

Don't worry about anything else.

Just take care of Zhimo.

Yes, Your Excellency.

It's OK.

Go ahead.

Anzhi.

Why are your hands so cold?

You are not afraid of second brother, are you?

No, I'm not.

King Mingyi is gentle and kind.

How would I be afraid of him?

We are a family now.

You can't be that nervous

every time you see him.

Master,

I think Zhimo relies a lot

on Miss Anzhi.

Now Zhimo

can't live without her.

But the two of them,

they're not in a proper relationship.

You want this Anzhi

to stay with Zhimo

for the rest of her life?

If Zhimo needs her there,

then she'll have to be there.

Something's bothering you, brother Derang?

It's nothing.

Are you hiding anything

from me?

I'm just worried about King Mingyi.

Back in the day,

His Majesty would only harm the servants.

But

now,

he's doing it to the royals.

Now the court is in turmoil.

I'm thinking

maybe we should put the wedding...

No way!

Brother Derang,

I know

what happened in the palace

damaged everyone.

But what happened in court,

has nothing to do with our wedding.

I don't want you to use it

to postpone the wedding.

I'm not using it as an excuse.

Of course I want to

marry you as soon as possible.

Over the years,

I've been helping Prince Xian.

Although he is not in great health,

but he's strong in will,

wise and intelligent.

He's made to be an emperor.

Besides,

the Emperor now is way too cruel.

I hope

Mingyi can take his place as soon as possible.

His Majesty

castrated King Zhimo.

It seemed to be a punishment on Zhimo.

But actually,

he's trying to warn Mingyi.

Nobody can do anything

without him knowing.

But His Majesty didn't handle it well.

This move

would only intensify the problem.

You know,

our family,

ever since my grandfather,

has been associated

with the branch of Ren Huangwang.

Over the years,

I've been with Prince Xian

all the time.

If

I have to die for him,

I will.

I'm just afraid,

if anything goes south,

I might get you involved.

I'm not afraid of being involved.

Prince Xian will be a wise emperor.

You men care about your country.

Does that mean we women

just have to stay away?

Now that I've decided

to marry you,

I have to be with you

through all the possibilities.

If you

want to postpone our wedding

for my safety alone,

that means you're looking down on me.

Sorry, I was wrong.

Yanyan.

Would you like to be with me

to assist King Mingyi?

Of course.

I know you picked the right person.

I'll be with you for anything.

You want to marry Anzhi?

Yes.

Look at me now,

I'm like this.

But she didn't leave me.

Anzhi and I,

we promised to be with each other.

Now it's time for me to marry her.

OK.

Now that you've decided,

I'll go

get the approval for you.

Isn't this Anzhi?

Didn't she climb into the royal family?

Why is she back

for these old things?

Watch your mouth.

She's going to be a princess in no time.

His Majesty granted the marriage.

That's right.

Now she's married to a royal.

Yeah.

A castrated one.

Well,

if not,

no way she can be that princess.

All I want is to get out of this hell.

I don't care about anything else.

Anzhi, King Taiping wants to see you.

Master, she is here.

Your Excellency.

You look pretty.

No wonder Zhimo

would offend my brother for you.

You don't have to be afraid.

You are a princess if you marry to Zhimo.

You should behave like one in the future.

Her name is Tabu.

She'll be

your maid from now on.

Your Excellency, this...

Relax.

Buckle down as the princess.

Tabu will take care of the rest.

Yes.

This is an overnight success for you, I guess.

I'm afraid

I might not be that blessed

What's that supposed to mean?

If anything happens to King Zhimo,

King Mingyi

would make me pay for it with my life.

As long as you behave,

I'll back you up.

No one will touch you.

Really?

Tabu, take good care of the Princess.

Yes, master.

Thank you, King Taiping.

I will do my best.

All right, you may leave now.

Who is she?

Zhimo's new Princess.

I got here to teach her about the palace.

It was her.

(King Taiping's mansion)

King Taiping.

He looks OK.

It's just his bearing...

He's from the poor,

with no one big

in his family.

That's why he has this timid bearing.

Forget it, once he marries the Princess,

his bearing

will naturally get better as time goes.

Get up.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Chuli, right?

Yes.

I'm about to give you this chance of a lifetime.

You know what to do next, right?

(Xiao Chuli from Clan Shenmi) Yes.

I'll be loyal to King Taiping.

Alright then, you may leave.

Master.

Princess Hugudian is pure and kind.

She is at peace with the whole world.

Her husband might be from the poor.

As long as he's good in nature,

there's nothing wrong with it.

You're right.

By the way, Mr. Han,

I have an idea.

I want to ask for a sick leave,

so

His Majesty won't be granting me a marriage.

I hope Mr. Han

can help me on this.

I can guarantee

to make it real.

I hope His Majesty can agree

for me to leave the palace to recover.

That way,

things can be more convenient to me.

Well,

let me see what I can do.

Thank you, Mr. Han.

By the way, Mr. Han,

how's brother Han lately?

What's he been up to?

Derang?

He's getting ready for the engagement.

Engagement?

To whom?

The youngest daughter of Prime Minister Siwen.

Princes and Princesses are here.

Isn't it wonderful

to have two weddings

in our family today?

Brother, please.

I wish you

happy and harmony ever after.

Thank you, my brother.

I will live up to your trust.

Take good care of my husband.

Chuli.

This is the only sister I have.

If you treat her bad,

I'm going to hold you responsible.

Yes.

I will definitely be devoted to Princess.

Today,

all three of us are here.

Let's make a toast to father and mother,

and Empress Zhen.

Here's to them.

May they

bless us all

in heaven.

Master! Master!

Brother!

-King Mingyi! -Get him to sit down.

How are you feeling, master?

Master.

Why did master faint?

Yeah.

Your Majesty.

King Mingyi has been in poor condition since young.

He didn't quite recover from the previous attack.

He struggled to take care

the weddings

of Prince Zhimo and Princess Hugudian.

That caused his relapse.

Your Majesty, I'm afraid...

It's all bullshit.

You must do everything

to make Mingyi better.

Brother.

I heard the South has something called "warding-off wedding".

Maybe we should...

What?

Uncle.

No.

Take your time.

I have been weak since childhood.

I don't know when I would die.

I don't want to ruin the life of an innocent girl.

Let's not do the "warding-off wedding".

What's more, the customs from the South,

might not necessarily be suitable for us.

Alright.

If you don't want it,

then we won't do it.

Kuangsi.

Take good care of Mingyi.

Let me know if you need anything.

Do everything you can to save them.

If we can move him

to a temporary palace outside the city,

it will be great for his condition.

It gets too cold in here.

King Mingyi is haunted by the cold.

Actually, he would get weaker.

Alright then.

Mingyi can stay at the temporary palace

to recover for now.

You still up?

Did I wake you?

I can't sleep.

I'm thinking

how I can find a nice girl for Mingyi.

You are now

addicted to matchmaking.

You arranged for both

Zhimo and Hugudian.

Now you want to do it for Mingyi?

I'm their uncle.

Mingyi is

the young I care for the most.

We see him as a great person.

But he is in bad health.

Girls with good backgrounds

might not agree to marry him.

You think about it for me.

Do we have anyone from the Empress's clan?

Her family doesn't have to be fancy.

She doesn't have to have celebrated father or brothers.

All we need is a virtuous girl.

Actually, Mingyi is right.

He is too weak.

His condition comes back and forth.

Even if he gets married,

I wonder if they can have sex.

In that case,

the girl's life will be ruined.

Zhimo is already like this.

I really want to

find Mingyi a suitable match.

Otherwise, the late Emperor would have no heir.

Instead of having Mingyi get married,

maybe they can adopt someone

from other branches.

In that case, Mingyi will be more at ease.

Maybe he'll even get better

when this problem's be solved.

Alright, you should go to bed now.

As long as Zhimo and Mingyi

bear no heirs,

then we adopt

some kids from other branches for them.

Their branch of Ren Huangwang

will no longer be a threat to us.

Then I can have

all three branches of Taizu in my hands.

Miss Yanyan.

Where is Childe Han?

Our lady came for the book list,

so we can get them from the South.

Young master

just left for the temporary palace

to see Prince Xian.

He just left like a minute ago.

Do you want me to get him back for you?

It's okay.

Brother Derang has business to do.

I don't want to disturb him.

Since we have nothing to do today,

why don't we invite both princesses

to go play polo?

Sure, let's go to second sister.

Yes, ma'am.

Let's go.

Farewell, my lady.

(Temporary palace)

Your Excellency.

You are here.

What?

Still feel bad for Zhimo?

Now Anzhi is with him

to take care of him.

I can somewhat rest assured for now.

By the way,

arrange me a meeting with Prime Minister Siwen.

I want to see him.

You want to do it now?

If we want to make our move,

we have to gain support and understanding

from Prime Minister Siwen.

Therefore

I have to meet him in person.

I'll see to it.

Brother Han.

Have you ever thought about it?

This adventure

would probably cause

all of our lives.

Aren't you afraid?

I'm not.

18 years ago,

my destiny

had been tied with yours.

I was just thinking,

I was born into this.

I have no other options.

But you have done too much for me.

Mingyi.

If we talk about fate,

then you and I are destined to be together.

Our family had been tied with the reform of Han system

since three generations' ago.

Me assisting you

has already been my destiny.

Even I don't have to do it for the family,

I'll do it for our friendship.

You are the one I trust the most.

Even if we can

take the throne back this time,

it's merely

but a beginning.

There must be a lot of people against us.

There will be

people like Chage.

Try to kill me

to stop the reform.

It's possible that all we do

is nothing but vain.

No, Mingyi.

No matter whether we succeed or fail,

I'll be with you.

I don't think we'll repeat

the tragedy of the late Emperor.

Brother Han.

Which one you think is more important,

the well-being of your country or personal affections?

Well-being of the country, of course.

If I let someone down,

for the sake of the bigger good,

you think I should be forgiven?

Mingyi.

An emperor needs forgiveness from no one

as long as he does the country right.

What if I have to fail

you?

On the way to the reform,

if it benefits our country,

I will not regret my life.

Brother Han.

I hope no matter what happens

in the future,

you can stand behind me,

walk with me

through the reform of Liao.

Can you do that?

Believe me.

I'll be with you.

We can do this.

So?

Congratulations.

The Princess

has been pregnant for more than two months.

For real, for real?

Come reward this doctor!

Reward this gentleman.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

Master, we have a kid now.

Congratulations, Your Excellency.

My good girl.

You are wonderful!

You must take good care of the baby.

Chongjiu, Guiyin.

You take good care of the Princess.

Or I'll get to you.

Yes, Your Excellency.

The two of us

will be with

Princess for all time.

After the birth of the little Prince,

our palace will be full of excitements.

Guiyin.

Go to Prime Minister

and King Taiping.

Let father and sister know.

Yes.

Wait.

Not so fast.

No one tells anyone

about this pregnancy.

Or

I'll chop your heads down.
