~ Moonrise by Lu Hu & Huang Yali ~

♫ The moonlight shines brightly on the strings of the zither that night ♫

♫ You and I are teetering on the edge of loneliness ♫

♫ Softly reciting the bygone days we cannot return to ♫

♫ Also floating in the air is a kite with a string that has snapped ♫

♫ The yearning stirs my heartstrings that night ♫

♫ Love and hate whimper quietly and unrestrainedly ♫

♫ To meet or not to meet, both are similarly on the edge of pain ♫

♫ That umbrella that shielded me from the rain was badly damaged ♫

♫ At moonrise, I meet with you ♫

♫ At moonset, I could not see you anymore ♫

♫ At moonrise, I endlessly yearn for you ♫

♫ At moonset... at moonset... ♫

♫ A millennium passes by rapidly... ♫

The Legend of Hao Lan

Episode 22

Consort, Lady-in-waiting Li requests to see you.

Can't you see Consort is busy? Request is declined.

I already told her this... But Lady-in-waiting said..

What did she say?

She has a secret matter to report, and it can save your life.

But, she has to tell it to Consort in person.

Look. There really is someone who is here to save you and is not afraid of dying.

Haolan has nothing to do with this matter. Do not give her a hard time.

Lady-in-waiting Li, you visit me so late at night. What is your purpose?

Haolan knows that Physician Yin has made a mistake.

I'm here specially to atone for her crime.

I've heard that Lady-in-waiting Li is skilled in playing the zither.

The night is long. I was just feeling bored.

Why don't... you play a tune for me?

Consort, I am here for Physician Yin's matter.

Please raise your elegant hand(be magnanimous) and let her go this time.

To show my sincerity...

I brought you another important piece of news.

Don't want to hear it. Regardless of what news it may be, I don't want to hear it.

My good friend is in danger, so I really don't have the mood to play a tune on the zither.

She defied me on several occasions.

She asked for it.

If I use this important secret to exchange for Xiaochun's life.

Secret? What kind of secret would you have?

Four pieces of canvas cloths with writings in Bird-Worm Seal script.

The secret that's as big as the sky(ginomous) translated from there.

I would like to hear the details.

The writing on the first cloth says...

Willow trees are overlooking the water.

Lotus seeds are embedded in center of the lake.

The road taken during the spring time,

With rain and smoke till now.

The second cloth also has a poem written on it.

A late setting-sun, a slow-ticking clock,

fine wines with a good meal in the cold eastern wind.

The solitary shadow of the lunar lantern as time passes.

From the east toward the west.

Waking up from a drunken stupor in a rushed dream.

There's no road to return home.

What kind of nonsense poem is this?

Long and short, and without any rhythm.

Can't sing it or recite it.

We also thought of that.

But, why did Consort send these strange poems out?

What is more strange is the third cloth wasn't written with any poem on it.

But, eight odd tones instead.

When the translation was done up to the fourth cloth, the outcome was a long string of numbers.

What nonsense.

Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a School of Diplomacy.

It invented the Fan Qie method. [A traditional system that expresses the phonetic value of a character using two other characters.]

It was slowly lost and unheard of through the generations.

I guess it takes the sounds of the first fifteen characters written on the first cloth.

Order it from one to fifteen.

The second cloth has thirty-six characters.

Taking the rhymes from character number one to thirty-six.

Next, line up the tones on the third cloth.

Li Haolan, you should shut up now!

Sounds, rhymes, and tones are all complete.

Adding on the numbers on the fourth cloth.

Follow the Han people's habit of ordering and you can deco–

Say it again.

The writings on the cloths are showing the list of Han State spies in the Zhao State!

I am guessing that the King of Han only informed you of the meticulous list of spies.

You then used the kite to contact the person outside the palace.

Consort, if I display these four cloths in front of His Majesty...

You should know what that means.

Really didn't expect...

That the Zhao State also has able people.

Requesting Consort to please let Xiaochun go.

What about these four cloths?

As long as Consort releases her, the secret will go back to your hands.

Why should I believe you?

Consort, you do not have any other choice.

All right.

Release her.

Yes.

- Mother. - Yi'er.

I am coming to catch you.

Hurry up, mother. Faster.

Be careful Yi'er, slow down.

Why are you running so fast?

Mother.

Mother, where are you? Come out quickly!

Mother!

Mother.

You are back!

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

Why are you so foolish? Fighting with Prince Yu because of me.

I don't care, as long as you can come back. I am willing to do anything.

That Han Qionghua... I almost lost you because of her.

Fortunately, you and Haolan risked your lives to fight for me.

Otherwise, I would have turned into a mermaid.

All right. Let's not talk about this matter anymore.

Just now, did you have a nightmare again?

You know it.

I dreamt about her again.

Also my younger sister who passed on early.

Yi, Consort Yun died from a difficult birth.

That was the Will of Heaven and it was so many years ago.

Why can't you let it go?

I can't.

I can't do it.

I can't forget for my entire life.

Every time I remember it.

It's like peeling off an old scar.

It will make me bleed again. I dreamed of my mother.

She was calling out to me. She said her entire body was in pain.

Very much in pain.

She was calling out for me and asking me to save her!

Don't say it anymore.

Xiaochun, what is the matter with you?

I just came back, I am tired.

Let's not talk about these unhappy matters.

Your return is more important than anything else.

Xiaochun, promise me.

You will never leave me behind. Okay?

Silly. I will never leave you.

You were too hasty.

Yin Xiaochun is my good friend.

I will not do nothing while she's in a dire situation.

If I encounter such matter again.

I will make the same choice.

Han Qionghua is not as simple as you think.

You much promise me, when you encounter issues in the future.

You will discuss with me first.

I will solve it for you.

Solve it for me?

Because I have beneficial value to you?

Yes.

The only positive trait you have is honesty.

The most scary part is... also honesty.

You...

Are not angry with me anymore?

A drop of gratitude will be repaid with a gushing brook (a little kindness in a time of danger will be repaid profusedly). [The Wisdom of Ancient Aphorisms: Family Precepts by Master Zhu]

You also saved my life.

When I got angry with you before.

It was just momentary temperament.

Now that I think of it.

Even if you don't love me, is that your fault?

- Haolan, - Don't worry.

I will follow our previous agreement.

Help you save Royal Descendant to leave the state of Zhao.

The night is deep, time to go back.

It's right here. Search.

Prince.

What is happening?

Search carefully inside and out. If anyone were to resist, execute!

Yes.

Red Sun Palace

What did you capture?

Royal Father, I found six Han State spies. Currently questioning them.

Where did you so many spies?

Royal father, I dare not speak any untruths.

They are currently risk their lives refusing to admit.

It is only a matter of time to get the information.

Prince is definitive that they are Han spies.

Big general my information is definitely reliable.

There's not chance of a problem.

It's a shame, they are only a bunch of Merchants trading mulberry,thistle and horses,

between Yan and Zhao states

You have caused the news to spread all over Handan City.

King Yang was angry upon hearing the news.

Dispatched embassadors to make alliance with Qing.

How is that possible?

Alliance.

Not possible. That is impossible.

Royal father, they were originally Han spies tryint to steal our military information.

How did they become Yan State merchants?

They are all Yan merchants.

One of them is also the brother-in-law of the Prime Minister of Yan State.

Your Highness, Qin is at the west side and Yan is on the northeast.

Squeezing us from both sides. The result will be disastrous.

Does Yan State dares to attack us Zhao State?

Your Highness, I believe that the current Yan state is not that strong.

Not enough to be a threat to us Zhao State.

If Qin state start an offense, Yang state then collaborates from the back side.

Since Zhao & Yan's alliance broke up, King Yan has been persistently readying for war.

Because their military were lacking and also didn't have an excuse to start the battle.

That's the only reason they held back until now.

This time we are suffering from external and internal issues.

Prince really gave a trump card to Yang State.

Headache. Headache.

Go down.

Respectfully seeing Your Highness off.

Han Qionghua.

Prince, consort, I couldn't block him.

You may go down now.

Han Qionghua, all of this was your maze of a scheme.

I don't know what the Prince is saying.

Don't prentend anymore

I should've though of this early on.

You deliberately let me pick up the kite. You wanted to sabotage me.

Prince, you are hurting me.

You are an evil woman.

Schemed to get into the palace. Pick out the conflict between Yan and Zhao states.

What are you trying to do?

That is very simple. Delivering a pillow to the Yan King that is sleeping.

Now you admits to it.

But I really do not understand.

What is the benefit to you to pick off Yang and Zhao's conflict.

Does Han state expect to reap benefits?

All right, you wait and see.

I will report everything to royal father. I am willing to suffer any charges.

But you will be able to get away.

Go ahead, Prince.

But the Prince will not be able to bear this charge.

Zhao and Yan already had a grudge. I only give it a little push.

Prince needn't be so angry.

Instead of worrying about the war in a much later time.

Better think about how to take over the throne.

What is your meaning?

After this matter, Prince's position is very precarious.

If you want to go tattletale, go for it.

Your Highness' adoration of me is well-known.

Before you can even pull into the water, you are already in an intractable pit.

Han Qionghua, you're certainly meticulous and scheming.

Thank you for your praise, Your Highness.

I'm going to go admire the flowers later. Take care, Your Highness.

Consort, they're dumbfounded this time.

But if the Zhao people couldn't solve the mystery of the kite, then they wouldn't have fallen into your trap.

If that was the case, I would have to give them a hint.

Why not write everything clearly then?

Wasn't it troublesome to create those four cloths?

It was fun.

Fun?

Those who I look up to, I'm willing to play with them.

If I don't, I can't even be bothered to look at them.

What should we do next?

Let's just wait and see.

I want to stir up the sky and the earth.

Try this. I specially made it for you.

I took a close look.

Your makeup today is a bit different.

No wonder you keep turning around. Are you insisting that I compliment you?

Royal Descendant of Qin.

Are you really not going to explain?

Explain what?

I didn't bother you, why are you so angry with me?

You really don't know bird and insect script? (calligraphic style with characters that are decorated with birds and insects)

I don't know.

You were born in the state of Qin

You've read widely and full of knowledge.

How could this bird and insect script be that difficult for you?

I was anxious last night and didn't had time to think. When I went back, I started to think.

You must have discovered the secret. Why didn't you talk about it?

I didn't say anything because this matter is highly questionable.

What's so questionable?

Han Qionghua thinks in great detail.

When sending secret messages, how can that be caught so easily by Prince Jiao?

That four kites can't be lacking one.

Yet the spy put all four together at same location.

You are suspicious.

Almost looks like it is deliberately want to be found.

Li Haolan!

Li Haolan!

Prince, what is the meaning of this behavior?

Li Haolan, did you collude with the princess of Han state to deliberately pass a false intelligence report to me?

Prince, I don't understand what you are saying.

You and Yin Xiaochun, were deliberately scheming to entrap me.

I can't help being suspicious. You have been bribed by Han Qionghua.

Physician Yin and I are people of Zhao. How could we have been bribed by her?

How did the secret agent of Han state become a businessman of Yan state?

Why did Yan state form an alliance with Qin state again?

If I don't kill you today, I shall not be a human being.

Move aside.

With your intelligence, how could you not know that Haolan is innocent?

What you are doing now is clearly venting out your anger.

Since this is the case, why not just kill me first?!

Do you think I don't dare to kill you?

If you really kill me,

you will really have fallen into the plot of the Han state.

What do you mean?

Han Qionghua purposefully entrapped you with the kites.

Deliberately used the secrets in exchange for Yin Xiaochun.

One was to convince you of the validity of the secret message.

Causing contradiction between Yang and Zhao.

Second causing conflict between. Brandishing our alliance.

Prince thinks that the loss we suffered this time is not big enough.

and even want to kill Haolan too?

Royal Descendant of Qin, your hand.

I'm fine.

I'm sorry. I was too rash just now.

Prince was momentarily righteously angry. I don't dare to blame you.

I still have many matters to redress. I will compensate you on another day.

I'm taking my leave.

Let me bandage this.

I'm fine. Don't panic.

Royal Descendant of Qin, do you still have uncompleted things to say?

Yan state received the news very fast.

Do you think this is possible?

Are you saying that, from the beginning, Yan state and Han state put up a show?

Could it be that Yan state is already siding with Qin state?

Royal Descendant of Qin.

Don't worry about my Qin position.

Han Qionghua knows that Prince Yu is hasty in trying to prove himself.

Also predicted that your and Xiaochun's close sister bond.

The canvas cloths will finally get back to her hands.

As for Prince Yu, he lost the evidence.

Only have the option of the catching and questioning the person.

Now that Prince Yu made such a big mistake, definitely someone else is ready to make a move.

Perhaps, creating disorder in Zhao state is the third goal of the princess of Han state.

Create disorder?

One kite trap, already got everyone tired out.

Outside and inside problems are now complete.

This Han Princess' scheming is fathomless.

What are you doing here?

Of course I came to see my beloved pigeon.

Great, after you've seen enough, please take your beloved pigeon and scram.

What is the matter with you? Did you get hurt?

I hate the smell of blood.

Hate smell of blood. Then you still become a doctor?

I enjoy it.

A shame can't cure the illness of persistent pesters.

Don't be in a rush to throw me out. I have an urgent matter to tell you this time.

No one thinks their daily tasks are minor things.

The Princes' fight are getting more severe.

I just want to persuade to not meddle into it. Protect yourself.

Brothers have quarrel fiercely over walls over a piece of farmland.

Much less this huge country of Zhao.

But you shouldn't worry, Yi holds himself aloof from the worldly strifes. He is not like Prince Jiao.

You have the time to worry about me.

Better to think about how to save him from the pit.

Probably too difficult.

The pit that he fell into, must be at least thrity zhangs. {about 110 yds. }

You really believe that Prince Jiao completely done for?

Isn't it?

In that case, you should wipe your eyes and see.

Your Highness, A Zhao deserves to die.

Your Highness, the physician instructed.

The art of caring for one's body is to have a clear and calm mind. Anger will harm the body.

Your Highness shouldn't get angry.

The moment I see these idiots in the palace.

I get angry.

Your Highness' writing is generous, elegant and uninhibited.

Such a display of talent that is unmatched by any ordinary person.

This little maidservant is new to the palace. She lacks experience.

She got dumbfounded from looking.

Please forgive her. Haolan will carefully train her.

Not allow her to make any more mistakes.

Did you hear it?

If it wasn't Haolan's plea for leniency, you would have been spanked today.

Thanks to the Queen. Thanks to Lady-in-waiting Li.

Go down.

Nowadays, when servants of Rising Sun Palace make a mistake.

All counting on you to espcape punishment.

You are pretty nice, never reject these requests.

Shows that your heart is too soft.

Letting others control it easily.

Haolan dares to beg only because I know Your Highness is kind.

You are foolish. People's heart are unpredictable, the world is dangerous.

You have a good heart, may not have a good result.

Sister Haolan, A Zhao is going in.

Sister Haolan.

What are you doing?

Why are you wearing Sister Haolan's clothes?

I didn't. You didn't see correctly.

-I am going... - What were you doing?

A Zhao.

What is it?

- She stole your clothes to wear. - I didn't.

Sister Haolan is so good to me. Why would I do such a thing?

I didn't know how to repay your kindess.

I saw these clothes were messy. I wanted to tidy it up. That's all.

You are quibbling.

-I didn't. - Ah Yue, don't say it anymore.

It was I who ask Ah Zhao to come get things.

- Sister Haolan, - Ah Zhao.

I jotted down the Queen's habits.

You take it and give it to others. Once memorized, there will be no mistakes.

Thanks, Sister Haolan.

Sister Haolan, why do you help people like her?

That booklet is for everyone to see. Not just for her.

I am Rising Sun Palace's manager.

I will also get punished if they make a mistake.

Someone like her constantly trying to climb up.

You need to be careful.

All right, I will listen to everything you say.

Free Easy Mind and heart.

Elder Brother, I am here to see you.

Elder Brother.

Ya'er, please get me out.

I am innocent.

Elder Brother.

I already bride the guards by the door.

The sounds will not passed to Royal Father's ears.

Many thanks.

That scared look is for whose sake?

Royal father enjoys other people's fear.

Only fear can bring about respect.

My obedience and fear is what he wanted to see.

If I was calm, that hanging sword.

Will chop down my head.

Then you will continue to pretend this insanity?

Isn't Ya'er here?

Once Ya'er is here, opportunity will also come.

Win or lose will depend on this set of game.

Rising Sun Palace.

Your Highness, Princess Ya requests to see you.

It's so late, what is she doing here?

Your Highness, do you need me to...

No need, let her come in.

Mother, Elder Brother is ill.

Please be kind enough to go visit him.

Change outfit.

Mother, Elder Brother is feverish and coughs badly. Also, he just coughed out some blood.

Father king is so angry right now. I don't dare to get the physician.

Men.

Please get the Prince up. Bring him to the yard.

Then pour over two barrels of cold water.

Mother, what are you doing?

Able to put your hand on yourself.

In that case, why not make it more authentic?

This act the two of you put up.

You father played it to perfection twenty years ago.

In order to deceive him, you really must be seriously ill.

All right,

seeing the two of you worked so hard.

Haolan, go in person and invite His Majesty to come here.

Are you satisfy?

How did he got so sick?

Royal Father, Elder Brother is a righteous gentleman.

He was wrongfully accused, must be the pent up anxiety causing this illness.

The public sees, he can not escape implication.

Father king. This is really the greatest misunderstanding.

I already dispatched people to investigate. He just returned yesterday.

He went to Huang'An city where the whitefish came from.

Also found the lake that produced the whitefish.

He found that in the upstream part of the lake.

There's a new private academy.

What private academy?

That's correct, there are many students there. Reciting poems and made paintings.

As days accumulated, the inks and materials they used, contaminated the lake water.

There are messy weeds in the lake, also a strange smell.

Even the local fisherman do not go there to fish anymore.

Father king, gamboge is a ingredient for the paints.

How to prove it?

I brought the local lake water.

Can ask physician to check it.

Or send someone to the lake to check.

Father King, if the lake water is contaminated.

The whitefish naturally can not be consumed.

Maybe the Huang'An city officials do not understand this.

And brought the whitefish to court unknowingly.

Therefor caused such a big incident.

You really should seek justice for Elder Brother.

Father King.

I didn't cast any poison.

I can promise to heavens.

Jiao'er, I blamed you wrongly.

My life is give by father king.

This small punishment is nothing.

I will not complain even if you asked me to die.

I know. I know.

This is work of a evil-doer. Making father & sons at odds.

Get up.

My heart pains.

My heart pains.

Get the physician.

Xiao Chun, what do you think about the condition of Prince Jiao illness?

At first, he used the trick of injuring himself in order to gain our confidence.

I never imagine that he would fall so seriously ill later.

If I hadn't come in the nick of time, he would have lost his life for sure.

The princess are all busy fighting with each other for power and control.

None of them care about the warfare going on at the frontline.

Now, we don't even know the progress of the repairs to the Gubi Wall along Danzhu Mountian

carried out by the old general.

You are busy helping Qin Royal Descendant plan his escape all this while.

Why are you still thinking about the warfare at the front line?

The power of the Qin army is an irresistible force.

It will not stop because of Qin Royal Descendant.

If Qin Royal Descendant continues to remain in the State of Zhao, his life will be in grief danger.

Whether is it entrusted by Lü Buwei,

or because of loyalty as a friend, I really want to help him.

Then, between the states of Qin and Zhao, who do you hope to win?

This is my home and country. What do you think?

I thought that after you started liking Lü Buwei, you've become a citizen of the State of Wei.

We are two different people.

Not only don't we have a relationship now, even if,

even if I really marry him, I am still a citizen of Zhao.

Well said. How can a mere man be compared to the country?

Don't worry. When the Hundred Miles Wall is built,

the narrow Gu Pass will be the only way in.

Even though the Qin army is a magnificent arm with thousands of men and horses,

they can only sigh in despair when they look at the Pass.

I hope it is so.

What is it? Why is Your Majesty not happy today?

I'm still worried abut Prince Jiao.

I heard that Li Haolan is the best dancer in the Palace.

Why don't we ask her to perform for Your Majesty?

It may help Your Majesty feel happier.

Let Haolan present a dance?

What is it? Can't Your Majesty bear it?

Why couldn't I? I really love to watch Li Haolan dance.

Come, announce for Li Haolan to present a dance.

Yes.

Haolan pays her respect to Your Majesty and the Consort.

Haolan, your dance is graceful and elegant.

I like ...

... and Consort like it very much.

Furthermore, Consort has never seen it before.

Consort ... just perform a dance for Consort.

What is it? Is Miss Haolan unwilling to?

Haolan never dares to disobey His Majesty's order.

Are you planning to dance just like that?

May I know if Consort has any other request?

On my way here from the State of Han,

I met a touring dance troupe.

They burst with enthusiasm in their dance.

May I know what kind of dance did they perform?

There's really nothing new about the dance.

It's their outer appearance which is very interesting.

I've even brought back a set of dance costume as a keepsake. I'm gifting it to you today.

Lv Zhu.

Yes.

This dance costume is made of several layers of gauze.

It has beautiful colors.

After dancing a stanza, the dancer has to remove a layer of gauze.

Haolan, can you put this dance costume on?

Put on a good dance performance.

Your Majesty,

I can guarantee you that this dance performance will be incredibly wonderful.

Haolan, then you can dance two stanzas less.

Your Majesty, will you please forgive me. I don't know how to dance this kind of dance.

Promoting excellence in female musicians is just for the purpose of providing entertainment.

The only value of its existence is for His Majesty's mirth.

What is it? You don't know how to dance anymore after changing to another dance costume?

On the banks of the stream in late spring,

the young ladies are calling out to their friends, singing and dancing away.

This is to entertain themselves. This is a natural dance.

During the ancestor worship ceremony, the shrine maidens dress up as gods and beasts, dancing elegantly.

This is to give thanks to Heaven, and to celebrate a bountiful harvest. This is a natural dance.

Haolan is ashamed to use dance as a form of entertainment for other people all the time.

But dance originated from nature.

It is definitely not created to lure, nor popularized for entertainment.

Li Haolan, either you put on the costume quickly now and perform a dance,

or you'll have to accept the punishment.

Tell me what is your choice.

Princess Qionghua, if you ask me to perform a dance wearing this kind of dance costume,

not only is it an insult to me, even more so it is an act of disrespect to His Majesty.

Look, Your Majesty.

Haolan, do you really think that I can't bear to punish you?

I will not dance this kind of dance no matter how Your Majesty punishes me.

Your Majesty, Li Haolan is really proud and can't be disciplined.

Why don't you pass her to me?

Really! You ...

...you...

you chose this outcome yourself!

Go outside if there's nothing for you here.

Haolan, this is really the wheel of fortune reversing itself.

It was with great difficulty that Yin Xiaochun was sent out, only to have you here now.

How have I offended you?

Why do you want to force me in this manner time and again?

Because from the very beginning, we are

standing on opposite sides of each other.

I have never thought of being your enemy.

But you're a citizen from the State of Zhao, and not too stupid too.

I don't understand.

Ugliness and stupidity are the mercies from Heaven.

Those people who are ugly and stupid will never know what victory is,

but they can avoid ending up in a crushing defeat.

Absurd.

Absurd? If not for the fact that I'm beautiful,

how would I become a gift of the State of Han?

If not for the fact that you possess extra keen intuition, why would I have noticed you?

Actually, we are all wrong.

You are the real spy from the State of Han.

A spy with looks that caused a city's downfall.

It's not too late to know it now.

You have already made use of us to achieve your objective.

I just want to protect my own country.

Don't you think that it's very despicable to use such method?

The State of Qin fights to be the country with higher authority. The State of Han turned around and presented this authority to the State of Zhao.

This caused the great battle between the two states.

If the State of Qin stands down its army now, the State of Han will be in grave danger.

To a noble lady who values dignity,

to dance dressed seductively is perhaps humiliating.

But if it were me, I would definitely perform the dance without hesitation.

To choose to dance is to to acknowledge my allegiance to you. I'm sorry,

I will definitely not subservient to a spy from the State of Han.

The facts prove that I am right.

You can't win a war by just using dignified methods.

Look, haven't you lost now?

If you insist on using such method to assess who wins or loses,

there's nothing more I can say.

Good. Attnedants!

I'm here.

Take good care of her.

Yes.

Go and wash all the clothes.

♫ Like the zither and the harp that play in perfect harmony, let’s grasp each other's hand to stay together ♫

♫ Wishing for you and me to be immortalized with the wind... ♫
