The Legend of Xiao Chuo

Episode 8

Hunian.

I'm sorry.

I'm a little bit rude.

This is the best vulnerary I've got from home.

Have a try.

If it's effective,

I'll send someone to bring more to you.

It's nothing for us who live in the grassland.

Besides,

there's no harm in getting hurt.

At least,

you're here to see me.

Let go of me.

No.

I got beaten up for you,

I should get something in return.

You're so rude.

I'm only being rude to you.

Let go of me.

Be careful of your wound.

It's okay.

I know you're worried about me.

I know you're afraid of me getting hurt.

Actually, you have feelings for me, right?

You're the powerful Taiping King in Liao Dynasty,

you can have whatever woman you want.

Why do you have to pretend to be

an infatuated teenager now?

Hunian.

I hope you can understand

that I'm not interested in other women.

I just want you to be my wife.

These are the tribute from below.

I heard they were salvaged in the East Sea,

thus called East Pearl.

I don't care about West Pearl or East Pearl,

the moment I saw them,

I knew they were made for you.

Here, put them on.

Let me see.

Hunian.

Just put them on and let me take a look.

I've wounded seriously for you,

can't you even satisfy

such a small wish of mine?

Put them on.

Come on, just put them on and let me take a look.

Come on.

They really suit you.

Gorgeous.

Alright, just leave them there, don't take off.

Say yes.

As long as you say yes,

I'll go to your home to propose a marriage immediately.

That's not gonna happen.

You don't wanna marry me?

My father would definitely say no.

I'll talk him round.

Just tell me how you feel right now.

Hunian.

Please marry me.

I want you to be the most exalted woman in Liao Dynasty.

Your Highness want true love,

but I have to tell you,

true love relies on true love to exchange.

If you have other purposes,

please forgive me,

I can't give you my true love.

Hunian,

sooner or later, you'll be mine.

Derang,

shall we go hunting in the suburb together tomorrow?

I have to go to the imperial palace to run some errands tomorrow.

You're going to that Mingyi King again?

It's something important.

Alright.

I'm a sensible guy.

I'll just leave you to your business.

Go ahead.

Hunian is back.

Hunian, you're back.

How come you're so careless all the time?

What if I didn't help you

and you fell? You're so…

Don't hit me.

If you hit me,

I'd really get hurt.

Hunian.

Hunian.

Derang.

Today is a big day, Uncle Han is being crowned,

I'm so sorry

that I've had other business to attend to

and couldn't congratulate him in person.

It's okay.

Yanyan has already come to our mansion

on behalf of the Prime Minster's mansion.

That being the case,

please excuse me.

Derang,

after you've done your business tomorrow,

I'll come to see you the day after tomorrow, alright?

I'm not available on the day after tomorrow.

Then three days from now?

Alright, just wait.

Deal.

Hunian, let's go home.

Where have you been today?

Why did you come home so late?

Nowhere.

Miss Xiao, let's go back to the room, too.

Hunian looks quite unhappy today.

Go ask the carter about

what happened to her today.

Got it.

Hunian.

I can't believe you went to see Yansage.

You knew Wuguli suffered a lot because of him.

I just went to visit a patient.

Don't make a fuss about it.

Where did you get these pearl earrings?

Did Yansage give them to you?

You…You're in love with him.

Yanyan.

My head aches so much.

Go get some rest, will you?

Hunian.

I know you have your own difficulties,

but you must not aggrieve yourself.

No matter what happens,

as long as we three sisters work together,

we can solve it.

Alright, alright, I get it.

It's pretty late.

Go get some rest.

Go.

Alright, have an early rest.

Wuzhi King,

please seek a marriage alliance to Prime Minister Siwen for me.

I wanna marry Wuguli.

You wanna marry Wuguli,

or you just wanna marry the daughter

of Prime Minister Siwen and the eldest princess of Yan?

Wuguli has been through so much with me,

it doesn't matter to me if she's the daughter of Prime Minister.

My father is dead.

She's now the most precious,

the most important person to me in the whole world.

Wuzhi King,

you're the highest elder in the royal family.

Please do me a favor.

It looks like that this imprisonment

has made you less frivolous.

Alright.

For you sincerity,

I'll help you this time.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Wuzhi King.

Alright, get up.

The three branches of descendants of Abaoji, the first founder of Liao Dynasty

must have heirs.

Now that you wanna settle down,

I ought to help you.

I can wait.

Father has we three daughters.

After you and Yanyan both get married,

then the marriage of Xiyin and I

would be less dramatic.

By that time,

no one can stop me from being together with him.

-What on earth are you trying to do? -Hunian. Wuguli.

Something big is up.

What's that?

Xiyin has asked Wuzhi King to seek to propose a marriage.

Father said he'd consider about it.

What?

Wuzhi King?

Father respects Wuzhi King the most.

Great.

I can't believe Xiyin has asked Wuzhi King to help him.

Do you really have to marry him, Wuguli?

Of course.

He's the only one that I wanna marry.

My awesome Yanyan,

thank you for telling me this good news.

You're the best.

Siwen.

Just think about it.

Imperial uncle's son and your daughter

may make a good marriage.

Hunian.

It's not easy to see you.

Hunian.

The other day you said, true love relies on true love to exchange.

I feel the same.

You're the best princess in my mind.

As long as you say yes,

I'll immediately go to your home to propose a marriage.

Finally have the chance to drink your milk tea.

It smells so good.

Hunian.

Why don't you wear those pearl earrings that I gave you?

I don't like accessories anyway.

I just don't want to wear them.

Alright.

Hunian.

The woman I love can only be mine.

Don't fall in love with someone else.

Otherwise,

I'll kill the guy that you love.

Don't be afraid.

Hunian, don't think too much.

Just prepare your wedding dress happily.

Marry me.

The emperor is here.

Your Majesty.

You're injured,

why are you still going out?

Bro,

you…you don't blame me anymore?

Why would I blame you?

You servants.

Your king is injured,

you're not gonna stop him

from going out?

He's already lost his princess,

if you don't take good care of him,

I'll kill you.

Yes, got it.

His Highness wanna shoot a wild goose in person as a betrothal gift.

That's why I…

That's why I didn't dare to stop His Highness.

A betrothal gift?

You're fast.

Yeah?

Shouldn't you say thank you to me?

Bro…

Hunian was born noble.

Her father is the clan elder of queen family.

Her mother is the eldest princess of Yan.

A family background like this

is perfect for you.

What do you think?

The trick of having you tortured

has really helped you a lot, right?

Imperial brother has expended much care and thought on this,

thank you so much, Your Majesty.

The 20 hits from the rod

has helped you get the woman you love.

Also,

I want you to learn from this

that no matter what you do in the future,

don't let the others get the goods on you.

I have to let everyone know

that in front of me,

no one has privilege.

I'm fully aware of my mistake.

Of course,

you always have privilege

in front of me.

Even if someone gets the goods on you,

I'll also protect you.

Thank you, bro.

Xiyin is nothing.

I won't become estranged from you because of him.

Imperial brother,

the reason why I didn't kill Xiyin was not only because of Hunian.

Though Lihu deserves to be dead,

he's the son of Abaoji, the first founder of Liao Dynasty.

Abaoji only has three branches of descendants,

even if there's bad blood,

it's something within us three branches.

If we kill all the descendants of the other two,

then the strength of us would be weakened.

If anything happens,

clan five, clan six and queen family

don't get along well with us,

then we'll be at a disadvantage.

Let's keep those two branches,

even if anything happens,

we, Abaoji's descendants, are still the ones who rule Liao Dynasty.

I won't kill Xiyin.

Though he is so annoying,

Mingyi is still pretty good.

I won't kill anyone of his branch, either.

Now you can rest assured, right?

The position of your commander of household troops is now vacant,

many people want it.

I gave this job to Mingyi.

But he's quite tactful.

He wrote a letter to politely decline my offer,

saying he is too weak,

and is not up to this job.

He also recommended Nüli to take the charge.

Now everything's easy.

I can make another imperial decree

to restore your position.

But Mingyi risked his life to save Your Majesty,

if he truly meant it,

then it would be perfect for him to protect you.

But what Mingyi said is also reasonable,

he is too weak to run all sorts of things,

just let Nüli take care of all the business for him.

Alright, alright.

Everything's up to you.

Come on.

Let's shoot a wild goose.

-Okay. -It's the real business.

the Prime Minister's mansion

Please.

Prime Minister Siwen.

I shot this wild goose myself today.

Please take it, Prime Minister Siwen.

I wanna marry Hunian.

Hunian is still too young

to bear Taiping King's great affection.

Prime Minister Siwen,

you can't think that way.

Hunian is no longer young,

she's a good sister.

In order to look after her two younger sisters,

she missed the negotiation of the initial stage of marriage.

Now she's older than 18, yet still unmarried.

Hunian is pretty and intelligent,

she's the perfect one to be my princess.

I wanna marry her.

I want her to be the most exalted woman in Liao Dynasty.

Please let me marry her.

Well…

After all, it's a solemn decision for her.

Before I can give you my answer,

I need to ask her about it.

Prime Minister Siwen.

Hunian is willing to marry me.

She took the earrings that I gave her.

I took the bracelet that she gave me.

Just take this wild goose.

Prime Minister Siwen.

Do you think I'm unworthy to be your son-in-law

just because I once had a princess and now you look down on me?

It's not that serious.

Prime Minister Siwen,

I really wanna unite with your family by marriage

and be connected with you forever.

You have a kind heart,

and you have helped plenty of relatives who are rebels.

I understand you're trying to save some blood for the imperial family.

But many people don't think so.

There are many things said against you

in front of His Majesty.

You know that?

I've been Liao's Prime Minister for 15 years,

I don't think few gossips can slander me.

Of course.

But if I marry Hunian,

then you would be my father-in-law,

no one dares to slander you.

His Majesty shot that wild goose with me.

He is thrilled to know that we're gonna unite by marriage.

Then I'll leave this wild goose here

and wait for your answer.

Father, you wanna see me?

Hunian.

Do you know why this wild goose is here?

Why does Yansage have your token?

Please forgive me, father.

That day, you were not in Shangjing City,

and Wuguli was in prison.

I had to go to Taiping King's mansion to ask for help.

Taiping King told me how he felt about me.

In order to save Wuguli,

I said yes to him in the end.

Come on.

I'm sorry to make you go through all this.

My girl,

if you don't wanna marry him,

it's okay.

I can refuse him.

Even if His Majesty blames us,

I'll take the responsibility.

Thank you, father.

But His Majesty is brutal,

everyone keeps quite out of fear in front of him.

He only trusts Taiping King.

Yansage is very powerful,

if you refuse him,

I'm afraid that there never will be days of peace.

Besides,

he kind of really likes me.

Though I don't like him,

I don't hate him, either.

Also, I'm the eldest daughter in our family,

I have to join the imperial family in the end.

It's my destiny.

You…

really are willing to marry Yansage?

Yansage kept his promise

and saved Wuguli.

I should keep my promise, too.

I will marry him.

Did you hear that?

Recently,

two kings went to the Prime Minister's mansion

to propose a marriage.

Really?

Do you know that?

I've never heard of that.

Hey, you guys.

Don't gossip.

Your Highness.

Get up.

What were you talking about just now?

We were talking that

Prime Minister Siwen is gonna prepare for weddings.

Two kings went to propose a marriage.

Two?

I thought it was only Xiyin who proposed a marriage.

The day before yesterday,

Taiping King went to the Prime Minister's mansion in person

with betrothal gifts.

It is said that he wanna marry Lady Hunian,

the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Siwen.

You're now at the place you wanna be.

Yanyan.

Two daughters of your family

are gonna marry members of imperial family.

Hunian is gonna marry Yasage.

Wuguli is with Xiyin.

And who's gonna be the one for you?

Madam.

Taiping King sent someone to bring these to you.

You may see if there's anything you like, madam.

Why is it so noisy outside?

It's the servants of Taiping King's mansion.

They're sending betrothal gifts to madam.

Quite a few servants are needed

to carry all these cases.

Sending betrothal gifts?

Yes.

Go tell Xiyin that my betrothal gifts

must be better than Hunian's,

Got it.

I'll tell His Highness immediately.

There has always been savings in the imperial uncle's family.

His Highness favors you a lot,

he wouldn't let you lose face.

You're fully in charge of purchasing betrothal gifts.

You must try your best,

leave a good reputation of mine in front of Prime Minister's family.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

It's about the future princess,

I'll definitely achieve the task.

Wuguli, I'll let you get married in style.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Why are you still sitting here?

Without knowing it,

it's already morning.

You've stayed up all night?

Your Highness,

your health condition can't stand this.

Come on, let's lie down.

Come on.

Your Highness.

-Your Highness. -Your Highness.

-Your Highness. -Your Highness.

I increased the dose today,

it's gonna be a little bitter.

Please bear with it, Your Highness.

Have a piece of sweetmeat.

Here.

Your Highness.

How come His Highness's condition is suddenly getting worse?

How did you do your job?

Bro Han.

Don't blame Diligu.

It has nothing to do with him.

It's my fault.

I didn't sleep well last night.

Why didn't you sleep well last night for no reason?

Diligu.

Don't tell me there's something wrong with your herbal medicine.

It has nothing to do with that, either.

Diligu, leave us now.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Can you tell me what's bothering you?

Is there anything on your mind?

You can talk to me.

Do you know that Yansage and the Prime Minister's mansion

are gonna unite by marriage?

Yes, I do.

So, Your Highness is worried that Prime Minister Siwen

is gonna change his standpoint because of that?

Yes.

The family of Yelü and Xiao have been united by marriage through the ages,

even if this marriage doesn't exist,

Prime Minister is closer to His Majesty and Yansage

than to you.

However, Prime Minister Siwen

chose to be loyal to you.

According to my opinion,

the one Prime Minister Siwen chooses to be loyal to

doesn't need to be close to him in kinship,

but needs to really care about the destiny of Liao Dynasty.

That's the reason why he's on your side.

You're right.

I thought it in a wrong way.

There are still many things needed to be done by me.

It shouldn't influence our business

no matter whom the daughters of Xiao's family marry.

There you go, Your Highness.

It's impossible for Prime Minister Siwen

to change his standpoint

just because of love affairs between men and women.

I'm just thinking,

now it must be a really hard time for Prime Minister Siwen.

I wanna leave the imperial palace to see him.

No problem, I'll arrange that.

Your Majesty, it's just…

The next time something worries you,

you can tell me about it,

I can help you with that.

Okay.

Yansage, the eldest branch Xiyin, the second eldest branch

Xiyin, the second eldest branch Yelü Xian, the third eldest branch

Zhimo

Siwen.

Just think about it.

Imperial uncle's son and your daughter

may make a good marriage.

Master.

Han Derang from the King of Yan's mansion wants to see you.

Ask him to wait for me in the lobby.

Yes.

Yansage, the eldest branch Xiyin, the second eldest branch

Yelü Xian, the third eldest branch Zhimo

Derang.

Prime Minister.

What are you doing here?

Imperial Xian is here.

I'll guard the door here for you.

Please.

Prime Minister Siwen.

Your Highness.

Yanyan.

What are you doing here, being so sneaky?

Derang.

What's the matter?

You don't have a fever.

Why do you become so quiet all of a sudden?

I just wanna tell you that

I've already asked my father.

It looks like…

It looks like that he's not against us.

Really?

Now the situation is subtle.

I hope you can stay in the imperial palace,

just in case anything unexpected happens.

Please don't worry, Prime Minister Siwen.

I've already born that in mind.

Prime Minister Siwen.

You look so weary.

I suppose it's because the proposes of marriage

from Yansage and Xiyin.

I've been busy with government affairs recently,

I haven't had time to think about it.

Your Highness,

how do you think of it?

If Yansage and Xiyin insist on marrying your daughters,

I think you can accept them both.

In this way,

both the initiatives of attacking and defending are in our hands.

Whether the important business between you and me can succeed or not,

you can protect the descendants of your branch.

Your Highness, please go on.

I know it's because of my misgivings

that keeps you from agreeing to their proposes of marriage.

Prime Minister Siwen,

don't worry too much.

The other day, I only talked to you for a little while,

you just promised to help me.

It showed me that

you really care about Liao Dynasty,

you're on the same side with me.

I'm fully aware that

Yansage is very powerful now,

and there's true love between Xiyin and Wuguli.

It's hard for you to refuse them.

I know that clearly.

Today, I'm here to tell you that

no matter what decision you make,

I won't blame you,

I will support you.

What I do care about is

I don't want this to cause bad blood between you and me.

That's the most important thing.

What Your Highness just said made me feel ashamed.

It looks like it's not Your Highness has misgivings about me,

but I have misgivings about Your Highness.

What Your Highness said suddenly enlightened me.

It's nothing, Prime Minister Siwen.

I'll talk to you later.

I don't wanna talk to you.

Your Highness, is everything settled?

That's Prime Minister's youngest daughter.

Xiao Yanyan.

Her figure looks so delicately beautiful.

That's right.

But she's just too bold to do anything,

a real headache for me.

She's Prime Minister's daughter,

her courage must be extraordinary.

Your Highness,

should I take away this picture?

Never mind.

Burn it.

Burn…Burn it?

Wait.

Go get someone to frame it.

Secretly.

Yes.

Leave us.

Hunian.

Father.

Why are you staying up so late?

I couldn't sleep.

Come, sit here.

Talk with me.

I've always been busy with government affairs all the time

and have lacked the education of Wuguli.

Now you have to suffer because of her fault.

I know

you wouldn't have said yes to Yansage

if it wasn't for saving Wuguli.

I'm so sorry.

Don't say that, father.

Even nothing had happened to Wuguli,

sooner or later,

Taiping King would find other reasons to marry me.

His Majesty is brutal and kills people frequently.

You're in a high-status,

our family is also on the cusp of the game of power.

Ever since I was a child,

I've seen lots of my old family friends suddenly die.

If marrying Taiping King can keep our family safe,

then there's nothing wrong with that.
