The Legend of Xiao Chuo

Episode 14

Master, we have a baby now.

Congratulations, Your Excellency.

My good girl.

You are wonderful!

You must take good care of the baby.

Chongjiu, Guiyin

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 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.

Don't tell anyone

about this pregnancy.

Or

I'll chop your heads down.

We won't.

I dare not.

You may leave.

Yes.

Some time ago, Zhimo has been castrated.

Did you know?

Zhimo has been castrated.

Mingyi is weak.

Their branch

is about to be cut off.

I don't know if it's His Majesty's impulse,

or did they brothers

have it as a premeditation.

They want to cut off

the inheritance of branch Ren Huangwang.

Are you worried

that our kid

will be hurt by them?

It's better to be careful.

But they'll see it

eventually.

Then...

Don't worry.

Leave it to me.

The worst scenario,

I will make the move first.

Xiyin.

You don't have to take the risk.

You forgot our last

-time in prison? -Don't worry about it.

Don't worry.

I just

plan for the worst.

Zhimo has been castrated.

At present, there are a lot of discontent in court.

His Majesty

won't be making moves on the royals now.

Xiyin, I'm scared.

Your Excellency.

Miss Yanyan is here.

Yanyan is coming.

She can just chat with you,

relieve your boredom.

What about my pregnancy?

Can I let Yanyan know?

She's your sister.

Of course you can.

It's just this news

can't get to Taiping Palace.

We have to keep an eye on Yansage.

For the baby,

we have to be careful.

Don't worry.

Yanyan is my sister.

She won't hurt me.

Master.

I think the pregnancy,

we'd better

hide it from the Xiao's.

That Miss Yanyan...

But

Wuguli is close to Yanyan.

She believes her family.

If I tell her to hide it,

it's going to make her worried.

She is pregnant now.

Too worried

is bad for her health.

We should speed up.

We men take care

of the things outside.

So our women don't have to worry about anything.

Master is right.

I will speed up the arrangement.

Be careful, miss.

You're getting married.

Still act in such a hurry.

I don't know

what does Han Derang see in you.

I don't really come here.

Can't you just say something nice?

OK.

Tell me.

You don't prepare your dowry at home,

what are you doing here?

Want to get the wedding present?

The things I want,

you must

have prepared them for me already.

Why should I ask for them now?

Look at you.

My shameless sister.

Even when you ask for things,

you act like people beg you to have them.

Because you are my second sister.

The weather is great today.

Let's go to elder sister

and play polo.

I'm not going.

You can go yourself.

You love

polo the most.

You got married.

Now you want to pretend to be a lady?

No.

I just don't want to go today.

Besides, I don't want

to go to sister's house.

Why?

You are concerned

about relationship between King Taiping and Xiyin?

No.

Why then?

Why do you act so weird today?

It's not like you.

Come sit down.

All of you may leave.

I'm pregnant.

You have a baby?

I'm going to be an aunt.

That's a good thing.

Why are you hiding it?

Let me hear it.

Not so fast.

Just

I don't know if

it'll be a disaster or a blessing.

Why would you say that?

Don't ask.

I'll ask you to do one thing only.

When you get to elder sister's house,

don't ever tell them

about my pregnancy.

You

don't even believe sister?

I believe my sister.

I...

I don't believe that Yansage.

Now Xiyin

is confined to this house.

You've heard that too, right?

Zhimo has been castrated.

You mean,

you're worried that His Majesty

is going to harm your baby?

According to the nature of His Majesty,

he has no children of his own，

Yansege doesn't have children yet.

You think he's going to let

Xiyin and Mingyi

have children?

(King Yan's mansion)

Brother Derang.

Why are you here?

What is this?

Yanyan.

Yanyan.

Redistributing and dividing military power.

Isn't that the things can only be done

when a new Emperor takes his accession?

Keep it down.

Your advice

is for Prince Xian?

Yes.

Though you don't really know him,

but

I believe he will be

a great new Emperor for Liao.

Better than Yansage and Xiyin,

a more suitable one.

Who said I don't know him?

In the future, if you

need to talk about things,

you can take me with you.

I can help you.

Now I have free access

in and out the Taiping Palace.

Maybe

I can help you fish information.

Don't put yourself

in danger.

King Taiping is very cunning.

If anything happens to you,

what should I do?

Don't worry.

How would I make you worry?

Besides,

I don't want you

to take any risk.

I haven't married you yet.

Yanyan.

But

I'm going to take

a life-and-death risk.

I didn't want to tell you.

I'm afraid you will be worried.

If something happens,

I'm afraid our marriage...

Don't talk nonsense.

No matter how long it takes,

I'll be waiting for you.

Yanyan.

Marrying you,

is the best thing that can ever happen to me.

By the way,

I'm about to marry you,

why don't you give me a name in Han.

You want a name in Han?

Yeah.

I go by your rules now.

Great.

I'll have to think about it.

Don't make me wait too long.

Here's where you're going.

Aim ahead.

Come on.

Now let go.

If I can really become

someone like Empress Dowager Shulü,

someone who can change the world,

it's worth everything.

Yanyan.

I lost too much in my life.

From now on, whatever I want,

I will never let go.

What if I have to fail

you?

Mingyi.

An emperor needs forgiveness from no one

as long as he does the country right.

Brother Han.

I hope no matter what happens

in the future,

you can stand behind me,

walk with me

through the reform of Liao.

I read your article recently.

It enlightened me.

No.

They are just some of my silly thoughts.

Brother Shao, don't be too modest.

A few days ago,

I found a rare copy of a book from former dynasty.

(Xiao's mansion) Come to my mansion to have a look at it.

Of course.

When it comes,

I'll bring some good wine.

Your Excellency.

Please wait here.

Thank you.

You...

I'm from the Liu family in Zuzhou.

I come to see Prime Minister Siwen today

for the South's expedition against Liao.

So you're looking for my father

to talk about court affairs.

What's the matter?

It's a national affair.

Are you still interested?

You said your family name's Liu.

Emperor Taizu

worshiped Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han.

He then changed his surname to Liu.

Are you trying to

inherit the long cherished wish of

Emperor Taizu, Ren Huangwang, and late Emperor,

to carry out the Han system?

Then the way you see it,

can I make it?

Certainly.

Why?

Because the people who are right will naturally have help.

You are the right person.

So of course you will succeed.

What do you mean

by being right?

I heard you can win the world on horse back,

but you can't rule the world on horse back.

If we want

long term prosperity,

we must follow the example of the South,

carry out the Han system.

I think

you may become

someone like Empress Dowager Shulü.

Really?

Really.

Thank you, King Mingyi.

Yanyan.

Do you really want

Father.

to be like Empress Dowager Shulü?

That's good.

But didn't you know

King Mingyi

was just trying to be polite?

Father!

You don't have to be so blunt.

Can't you let me be happy for a while?

Prime Minister Siwen.

It's OK.

Yanyan.

We have something to talk about.

You can leave now.

I'll go then.

Your Excellency.

King Mingyi?

Considering our situation,

why did you choose to leave the palace?

Prime Minister Siwen.

because

now the situation is tense,

that's why I left the palace

to met with you.

If you have something to say, you may as well say it.

Yanyan said that just now,

he who is right will get help.

And

she said I was the right one.

What do you think?

I agree.

Since I am the right one,

what are you planning to do

to the wrong one?

What do you have in mind?

If something like

the incident of Mount Xianggu happens again,

what would you do?

Your Excellency.

Do you have a plan already?

The chaos of Chage

has never really ended.

Prime Minister Siwen,

do you understand

what I'm saying?

You mean...

What did His Majesty do back then,

nobody knew.

It was all speculation.

But Lihu and his son,

have always regretted

for losing two opportunities.

Yeah.

If this becomes the norm

everyone follows,

there will be no peace.

It's chaotic

because someone is creating chaos.

If at this time,

someone comes forward,

controls the situation and stabilizes it,

then I believe this man

will gain great credits.

Your Excellency.

Although I'm from the Empress's family,

I will be like

King Wuzhi to support the new Emperor

and stabilize the country.

I heard the South army is about to move.

They are about to march north.

We have to get ready for it.

From the past of His Majesty,

I don't think

he would think this much.

So

I want Prime Minister Siwen

to propose to His Majesty,

advise him to go to the Winter Nabo.

As for Shangjing,

we can have Yansage to guard it.

Yansage stays in Shangjing,

His Majesty goes to Heishan alone.

I see.

I will make sure it happens.

That's all I want to hear.

Prime Minister Siwen.

I know

your eldest and second daughters

are married

to Yansage and Xiyin.

What about Yanyan?

Do you have any plans?

Yanyan.

What do you mean?

Yanyan has a brilliant mind

with a big heart.

I think

she is likely to become

someone like Empress Dowager Shulü.

If we lose this fight,

we'll all die.

But if we win,

I think the best candidate

for the next Empress

would be Yanyan.

Yanyan

is just a kid.

Yanyan is gifted and intelligent.

Don't you have any plans

for her in the future?

In the eyes of a father,

she's always a child.

I have no further expectations

for her in the future.

You're right.

In your eyes,

she will always be

a cute little girl.

But you heard

what she just said.

Yanyan's judgment of the situation

and her sensitivity to the overall things,

you don't see those

in any other girl.

And my future wife

will be someone

like Empress Dowager Shulü.

She can

back me up

with our country.

If you agree,

Yanyan can be such a person.

Her future

can be limitless.

Your Excellency.

Do you know

what you are talking about right now?

I would like to marry Yanyan as my wife

and share this country with her.

Prime Minister Siwen.

I really like Yanyan.

I want to marry her.

I also believe my feeling for her

won't be less than anyone else's.

I will do my best

to let Yanyan live a happy life.

I also know,

among all branches of the Empress's family,

yours is the only one

that hasn't had an Empress yet.

Prime Minister Siwen.

Please give me a chance.

And

give a chance to your own branch.

I would like to marry Yanyan as my wife

and share this country with her.

I also know,

among all branches of the Empress's family,

yours is the only one

that hasn't had an Empress yet.

Prime Minister Siwen.

Please give me a chance.

And

give a chance to your own branch.

Husi.

Master.

What has

young lady been up recently?

Master.

Young lady,

besides riding horses,

she would hang out with her sisters.

Recently,

she's busy preparing the dowry.

Like now,

she's in the room,

trying on the new wedding gown.

Recently,

she's been smiling all the time.

She's been smiling.

She is looking forward

to marry Han Derang.

Yes.

You may leave.

Yes, master.

Miss, this gilded crown is beautiful.

Of course.

These

were all painted by brother Derang himself.

They were made

by imperial craftsmen.

With this wedding gown,

I'm sure Childe Han

will be fascinated by you.

Father?

When did you get here?

Come and have a look.

How's my wedding dress?

Great.

Father.

You didn't even

take a good look at it.

Father.

I know I'm wrong.

What did you do?

I talked too much

back in the study with Prince Xian.

But I didn't mean to.

I just bumped into him while leaving.

So we had a chat.

Yanyan.

Come.

Let me have a good look at you.

Among the three of you,

you

look the most like your mother.

It's so fast. Now you're at this age.

You're getting married, too.

By the way,

make sure you change

that childlike temper of yours.

Don't worry, father.

I will be married to the Han family,

I will be fine.

Brother Derang is so nice to me.

Both

uncle and aunt Han

like me very much.

They said

they've been dying to have a daughter.

And they said

I could take any of their sons if I want.

What's the matter, father?

In our lives,

we won't always get what we want.

What do you mean?

If you come across something unpleasant,

remember what I told you,

there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.

You are the child of Tengri.

You can't be like a Southern girl,

all tearful and weak.

Understand?

Yes, father.

Don't worry.

We Khitan girls

will never cry

no matter what happens.

That's the same with your mother.

You are all tough girls.

Your majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, spare me.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

You dogs.

Your Majesty.

You ruined my dream.

Your Majesty.

You don't even know

how to be a servant.

Your Majesty, spare me.

Your Majesty, spare me!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, no.

Your Majesty.

You don't deserve to be alive.

Your Majesty.

Take them to the wolves.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, spare me!

Spare me!

You feel sorry for him?

I dare not.

So you think I'm cruel.

Alright.

If you're willing to die for him,

I can let him live.

You all saw it.

When it's none of his business,

he'll be nosy.

But when his own life

is on the table,

he won't be

that considerate, will he?

Remember.

The empathy

that costs you nothing,

is simply cheap.

Your Majesty.

And inglorious.

Your Majesty, spare me!

You should say thank you to your friend.

He saved you.

Master.

What happened?

His Majesty went hunting today.

On the spur of the moment,

he killed a few more valets.

Doesn't he kill every day?

Who did he kill this time?

Baihai, Chubu's foster brother.

Our time has come.

Does Chubu know?

Not yet. We're afraid he might get out of control.

Find a chance and let him know.

Yes, master.

Master, where are we going today?

Let's make a round first,

then we go to Nüli.

Now Nüli

has control of the entire royal guards.

If we want to make a move,

we will need his cooperation.

We just go to him

in broad daylight?

What if King Taiping finds out?

I bet Chubu

won't tell on us.

Let's go.

You convinced Chubu?

Not yet.

I'm testing him.

See if he's really

loyal to Yansage.

If he doesn't follow us today,

I will find a way

to persuade him to us in the future.

That's interesting.

This Chubu,

how many years has he served you?

Wasn't him always

loyal to King Taiping?

Why would he suddenly turn to us?

Mingyi.

Are you sure about him?

Now it's

a crucial moment.

Even the slightest mistake,

will get us down.

Because

he has served me for years,

I have faith in him.

Relax.

Chubu,

he is from a poor background,

but he takes his family seriously.

His Majesty just killed

his brother Baihai.

I don't think

he would

be Yansage's puppet anymore.

The death of his brother Baihai

was indeed strange.

Mingyi.

The death of Baihai

got nothing to do with you, right?

What are you thinking about?

His Majesty kills at will.

How can I control that?

That's good.

Mingyi.

You are a man of great ambition.

I believe

you will never

be like those brutes,

trample on innocent lives.

Brother Han, don't worry.

I...

will never do such things.

I believe you.

About Heishan,

we've set everything ready.

Father and Prime Minister Siwen,

will be around.

Once it's done,

we'll take the first move.

After you take over the throne,

we will return to Shangjing immediately.

You will then already be Emperor of Liao.

Yansage won't be able to fight you.

I'm afraid

he'll enhance the defense of city gate，

we can't get to Heishan in time.

In any case,

my father will be there

among the accompanying troops to Heishan.

If anything goes wrong,

he will be the first

to let us know.

We've arranged our men

on the way there.

Once it's done,

I'll go with you

on an overnight ride

to Heishan.

That's the only way.

And

what about the pass token?

Don't worry.

I got it.

Your Excellency.

I asked you to come here today

for an important matter.

Please.

After you.

You must be tired.

Have some rest now.

Brother Han, goodbye.

Xinning.

Po.

Turn the carriage around,

we're going to see Liu Zigu.

Sub by WeTV & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Master, please.

Master.

Thanks to you all these years,

otherwise,

we really can't survive.

Your father saved my life.

Take care of his family

is what I should do.

(Liu Zigu, attendant of Emperor Muzong) I volunteered when I was 15

to serve that tyrant.

I did it to revenge my father.

But you've been holding me down,

you won't let me do it.

Master,

we can encourage

his valets to kill him.

Don't you

act rashly.

All you need to do,

is to serve that tyrant

right.

Then wait for my instructions.

Our time

is about to come.

Yes, master.

Sister,

how are things in the palace now?

You want to know about Zhimo?

It's all over.

Zhimo and Hugudian

are now all married.

Mingyi left the palace for recuperation.

His Majesty agreed

not to pursue the matter anymore.

He's not going to pursue it anymore?

He started

this whole thing.

You...

Did you hear yourself?

You better watch your mouth.

These things

are not our concerns.

The good thing is that Yansage

can talk to His Majesty.

Otherwise, I don't know how this can end.

These days,

for Mingyi

and his brother and sister,

Yansage was all around.

He couldn't even sleep.

He had a hard time.

His Majesty does nothing but killing.

King Taiping just follows him,

cleans up the mess for him.

They are brothers after all.

So what if they are brothers?

Taizu and Taizong followed the South,

made the lives of us Khitans

better and better.

But he was like,

we can give up on the Sixteen Prefectures.

He is ruining the country

built by Taizu and Taizong.

That's his fault. That's all on him.

If King Taiping

goes on like this,

he'll lose the support of others sooner or later.

Yanyan.

There are a lot of different ways

of governing the country.

We Khitans

have always been nomads.

The steppe is our root.

In recent years, for the Sixteen Prefectures,

how many fights did we have with the South?

His Majesty

wants to give up those states,

because

he doesn't want that many soldiers to die in vain.

How are their deaths in vain?

If it were not for the Sixteen Prefectures,

our country wouldn't be as prosperous

as it is now.

Yansage,

is he also like this?

If he is,

then he is indeed

the brother of His Majesty.

His Majesty is not just his big brother,

Yansage is extremely obliged to His Majesty.

Over the years,

Yansage has done his best

with His Majesty.

Sister, you have changed.

Before, you also found His Majesty to be violent.

But ever since

you married to Yansage,

you're on their side.

Because I understand him.

Brotherhood is

the strongest tie.

It's like with you and Wuguli.

If you do something wrong,

others

may scold you or blame you,

but I'll always protect you.

But what's right is right.

What's wrong is wrong.

It doesn't matter

if we are brothers or not.

Is it because

you fell in love with Yansage?

That's why you're defending him?

Yanyan, I married him.

He's my husband.

I have to defend him.

Then what if you have to choose between us

and Yansage?

In my heart,

the most important ones in the world are father

and you two.

Don't you believe me?

I do believe you.

I don't believe...

I don't believe that Yansage.

Why are you

so weird today?

What's the matter?

Did Xiyin get into trouble,

and Wuguli was involved again?

No, no, no.

I will go

ask her myself.

Sister,

don't go, don't.

Then be honest

and tell me.

If I tell you,

you can't

tell it to Yansage.

Say it.

Wuguli is pregnant.

Really?

She's afraid Yansage

might harm her baby.

That's why I didn't dare to tell you.

That silly girl.

She must have heard something from Xiyin.

Treating me

as their enemy.

Doesn't she know,

which is more important to me, Yansage or her?

Why did I marry him

in the first place?

No, sister.

It's not that she doesn't believe you.

She doesn't believe that Yansage.

I know.

Don't worry.

Worry about what?

Brother-in-law.

Girl,

are you talking

something

behind my back?

No.

Besides,

it's all

girls' talk.

You wouldn't understand.

She is getting married.

I was all busy

about her dowry.

And you talked

behind my back?

You two sisters.

Thank you, brother-in-law.

Thank you, sister.

I have to go now.

This girl.

Yanyan has always been afraid of you.

She was complaining

about you just now.

Now she felt guilty when she saw you.

I knew it.

But I'll give her a pass.

Come.

Come check out

the dowry I got her.

(King Yan's mansion)

Sister has changed.

She is now

defending Yansage.

Your sister and Yansage

are husband and wife after all.

Yanyan.

You have to remember,

what we do,

you can never tell it to Hunian.

I know.

I used to think,

sister knew everything.

What she said

must be right.

But now I see,

there are things

that she can't really see.

That talk we had

about the differences between Khitan and Southerners

enlightened me.

Yanyan.

Your sensitivity to these things

are better than a lot of men,

better than Hunian.

Then you must be careful.

I heard from sister,

Yansage pays close attention

to Mingyi.

I know.

So what are you

going to do next?

His Majesty has gone to Heishan Nabo.

We're going to take this opportunity to do it.

You have someone around His Majesty?

You must be careful.

You can't

have the eyes on King Mingyi

know about this.

Don't worry.

Right now,

the one around Mingyi,

who has been watching him,

should have been won over by Mingyi.
