~ 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 28

What are you doing?

Put the knife down. Princess Ya.

What are you doing?

Did I speak incorrectly?

You became so crazy because I spoke what is inside your heart.

Shut up.

Haolan.

Yiren, my parents can criticize me.

Zhao State citizens can criticize me.

Even her, she can also criticize me.

But what give you the right?

Without my help, can you stand there?

Without my willfulness,

can you still live?

Everyone can criticize me except for you.

Yiren, you can not.

You can not.

Princess, today is my wedding day.

Please leave.

Why?

Why do you treat me like this?

Because I never liked you.

Never will.

My heart is empty.

If there's no more love.

Then there's only hate left.

Qin Royal Descendant, I hate you.

One day I will let you feel the pain I suffered today.

Hundred times, thousand times.

Princess, where did you go? I looked for you for a long time.

Princess, what is the matter with you?

Ya'er, what is the matter?

Don't need to you meddle in.

Ya'er, even if you don't say.

Elder brother knows.

Its that Qin Royal Descendant who doesn't know what is good for him.

He is worth of you becoming like this.

If you want to cry, then cry. Let it all out.

After you finish crying, you forget about this person.

But my heart is really painful.

Ya'er, since you were little, you were so prideful.

But since you met him, look at what you look like now.

You sacrifice anything to make him happy. But what did you gained?

He let you became the entire Zhao State's butt of joke.

This is a complete shame.

If you can take it,

Even me as the elder brother, can not resign to it.

No, I want to kill them.

I want to kill them.

Kill who?

Qin Royal Descendant and also that woman.

Not only them,

also all the people who saw me lost my dignity.

Must all die.

They all must die.

Ya'er, remember what you said today. Don't ever change.

But we need to plan ahead.

Qin Royal Descendant, we didn't finish the board game from last time.

Let's continue, okay?

All right. This time I am not going to let you win.

This piece...

goes...

here.

No...I will start over.

Over here.

Here.

Here.

Over here.

It's not early, let's rest.

But we are not done with the game.

Qin Royal Descendant, give me one more piece, I will surely win.

Even if I give you three more pieces, you can't beat me.

Gongsun, why did you close the door?

Gongsun, what are you doing?

Royal Descendant, its the wedding night.

You can play Weiqi game tomorrow.

Don't go any where, go rest.

- I am going. - Gongsun, open the door.

Hurry, open the door.

Come back, Gongsun Qian.

Haolan, I...

That door.

Qin Royal Descendant, I will sleep on the floor.

You are not recovered from your illness yet.

That is not suitable.

How can a man allow a woman to sleep on the floor?

What is the difference between man and woman?

If you say that, then you are looking down on me.

I can do it.

Haolan, you can be same as men in many respects.

But don't over strive and deny the differences.

I can pull a bow, you can not.

Therefore I sleep on the floor, you on the bed.

Listen well, you sleep on the bed.

Hurry and sleep.

Master.

- Where are you going? - I need to return to Zhao state immediately.

We're on the verge of success. Why do you want to return to Zhao State now?

I'm not sure why, but I feel a strange panic in my heart.

- Move aside. - Master.

You went through innumerable hardships to pave the way for Qin Royal Descendant.

Your long-time ambitions are about to be accomplished. How can you give them up so easily now?

As long as Xiaoyue is here, Haolan will be fine.

You should complete the tasks at hand so that we can return sooner.

Master, you are this anxious about Zhao State,

how about I send a letter home?

No.

Can not go.

Why?

As long as Royal Descendant is still in Zhao State.

This matter is not completed.

Even Prince Jiao knows that I am still alive.

He will ruin the plans.

But aren't you worry?

Big plan is important.

Haolan, I will be back soon.

You wait for me. You must wait for me.

Father.

Regardless of how our army tries to provoke, General Lian Po continues to hold a fortified position on Whitestone City,

and still refuse to engage in battle.

Holds a fortified position without engaging in battle?

Then Lian Po is planning to lock us into a stalemate.

Our army travelled long distance, we need to quickly fight.

If keep delaying... Our provisions might be insufficient and soldiers will get lax.

That is so.

Holding without fighting.

Is that Liang Po's idea...

or King Zhao's idea.

Father is scheme is clever. I will get it done immediately.

The fifth summon the King send out to front lines was rejected by General Liang again.

This battle makes everyone anxious.

I heard that grain delivery clerks at the front lines were beaten by soldiers.

Claiming they mixed sand into the grain.

In reality, not are the soldiers running out of grains.

Even the people outside of Handang City are almost starving to death.

That's right. Liang Po's numerous rejection of summon.

Clearly he is afraid of going into battle. Back when Qin soldiers surrounded Yanyu.

No one dares to go aid them except for Lord Mafu who lead an army, and beat Qin Army.

That was an amazing feat.

If only Lord Mafu is still around, Zhao State would not be reduce to this.

Bastards!

Your highness, please spare our life.

Who allowed you to criticize court politics? Men.

Take them out.

Your highness spare us.

We only heard some gossip, dare not to criticize court politics.

Please spare our life.

What else did people outside said?

Speak.

From merchants who came from QIn said, they are not afraid of Liang Po.

Only afraid Lord Mafu's son, Zhao Kuo.

Heard this person is good both in literature and military concepts. Very brave and outstanding.

His military strategies are better than his father's.

Just a shame that he is in an important position. His ambitions are not made useful.

Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo.

I didn't think of him.

Hoalan.

What are you doing?

Qin Royal Descendant, I want to make a sauce.

Making sauce for me?

Our Peace Keeping Palace received the least amount of foods.

Sauce, vinegar, malt sugar are all gone.

My mother taught me how to make it when I was little.

But I already forgotten.

Recipes is on the fifth shelf. You can find it yourself.

All right.

It's not on the shelf. I didn't find it.

Qin Royal Descendant, this is ?

This jar needs to be sealed for three months.

You don't need to be troubled in the future. I can eat anything.

I will help you.

I will help you wash.

Qin Royal Descendant, I didn't think you would know how to to make sauce.

I know how to make malt sugar and also ferment wine.

Do you want to learn?

I really didn't think. Your know literature and handles world affairs.

Yet still knows these things that only women knows.

I though you chase after equality.

Didn't think you discriminate against men.

I lived independently for so long, learned these for own enjoyment. Can I not?

Qin Royal Descendant.

Qin Royal Descendant.

It's I who forgot my manners. I didn't mean to make fun of you.

Don't move.

Qin Royal Descendant... if you can't change that.

what to do If other people hear you?

Change it?

How about if there's other people around

I will call you gentleman.

Not good.

Husband? I am not used to it.

If you call me Yiren, other people will not beat you.

Come, try it.

Yi...

Yiren.

You need to practice more.

Don't reveal the truth in front of outsiders.

Royal Descendant.

King Zhao pull down Liang Po and replaced with Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo?

The one with outstanding military knowledge.

the young hero with astonishing martial skills ?

I only heard that he is Lord Mafu's son.

Read military books from a young age.

Every time he debates, even the brave Lord Mafu couldn't defeat him.

To replace with this kind of martial general.

The King is deciding to attack. Is that right?

That is right. The King ordered Zhao Guo to lead twenty thousand soldiers.

Combined with the original twenty five thousand.

He is concentrating all the forces and give Qin army a big fight.

Didn't you want to get the sauce making recipe? I will find it for you.

Qin Royal Descendant, the floor is cold, get up.

Get up.

I got it.

What did you understand?

He is coming.

Who? Who is coming?

I am tired.

Going to sleep first.

Qin Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi

Changping.

There's a trap.

Surround them.

Go.

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Your highness, our forty five thousand soldiers are trapped inside Changping. Awaiting aid.

What did you say? Speak clearly.

Lord Wu'an faked losing and withdrew, General Zhao missed to see that, entered into a trap.

Bai Chi also leads another five thousand that forces to split our army in the middle. Provision channels got broken.

Bai Chi, this Bai Chi again.

Isn't the Qin's main general Wong He?

Qin King made a strong order, those who dares to let out Lord Wu'an's soldiers will be executed.

Only until we arrived and got trapped in Changping, then find out who the real General is.

Qin people is very devious.

Zhao Kuo is too young and acted recklessly. You are only good at military speaks on paper. You've done harm to me.

Harm our Zhao State. Needs to be killed.

Royal Father, now is not the time to be angry.

Our military is without provisions, we need to immediately send out aid.

Royal father, situation is such as this. Anger and regret is useless.

Please immediately make an order,

let me take the army and provisions to Changping.

Fight to death with Qin people.

Your highness, I am willing to go with Prince Jiao to the front lines.

Even if we die in the battlefield, we will protect our gates.

Aids and provisions.

Were all taken by Zhao Kuo.

The entire twenty thousand soliders.

Half of Handang City's grains were send to the front lines.

If you ask for more, where do I get them from?

The soldiers protecting Handang. The citizens in Zhao State.

Even the palace guards can all go into battlefield.

As long as there's one person left, we can not allow forty five thousand soldiers to be trapped in Changping.

Elder brother, if you take the soldiers protecting Handang.

Who will protect Handang? Who will protect royal father?

This is very urgent. Yet you are still hesitating.

Elder brother.

You want to see forty five thousand soldiers to die at Changping?

My head hurts.

My head hurts.

Royal father.

Your highness.

Royal father.

Your highness.

Summon the physician. Hurry.

Qin Royal Descendant, did you already guess that.

Lord Wu'an, Bai Chi secretly came to the army.

I've been hostage for many years. I forgot who Bai Chi is.

You forgot?

All right. I will tell you.

Thirty three years ago, his fight with Han and Wei. Killed twenty four thousand.

Nineteen years ago, attacked Chu State's capital.

Drowned thirty thousand soldiers and civilians.

Fourteen years ago, at Huayang Battle with Zhao and Wei alliance.

Killed thirteen thousand. Drowned another two thousand foot soldiers.

Four years ago, attacked Han State, killed fifty thousand.

Because he kills people like ants, he know as Man Slaughterer.

Such a famous person, can Qin Royal Descendant not know him?

Qin Royal Descendant, you stop right there.

Since you are already guess that Bai Chi was secretly inside the army. Why didn't you say something?

I am a citizen of Qin State.

Then do you know what will that Man Slaughterer do to the forty five thousand soldiers?

All this time, I though you were a true elegant gentleman.

But how did I forget that you came from a barbarian country.

No different from those murders that kill people like ants.

All this time, I though you were a true elegant gentleman.

But how did I forget that you came from a barbarian country.

No different from those murders that kill people like ants.

You clearly knows that he is still not recovered from his illness. Why did you leave him on the floor?

Sorry, it was my neglect.

Of course it is your neglect.

Haolan, at your most difficult time, it was Royal Descendant who helped you.

Is this how you repay him back? Do you have any morals?

I don't know.

I don't even know what I need to do to be consider moral.

Xiaochun, he knew everything but chose to remain silent.

Now that Zhao army is trapped in Changping. Palace...

No, the entire Handang City's mothers and children.

are worry about their close relatives.

Yes, he is from Qin State, but I am also from Zhao State.

So that is the situation.

All right, I will go kill him with poison.

Xiaochun, Xiaochun.

You didn't mind him but also don't want me to kill. What do you want then?

Xiaochun, sorry.

I am the one who didn't watch his illness. I am the one who got angry.

I won't do it anymore. I guarantee.

Haolan.

There's one more thing I didn't tell you.

[ Protect Peace Palace]

Qin Royal Descendant, take your medicine.

Sorry.

Why didn't tell me the truth?

If it's not because of me, you wouldn't be sick in bed.

-Also will not... - Physician Yin told you.

I clearly told her...

Sorry,

It's my fault. I should get angry with you.

I already know you are innocent, even if you said something wouldn't change the facts.

Our position is not the same but I keep being forceful. I am mistaken.

Haolan.

About this matter, I have guilt. I feel disturbed.

But even if there's an do over. I will still make the same choice.

You have to remember, there's always subterfuge in war.

Qin Royal Descendant, Yiren.

Drink the medicine.

Hurry.

Nowadays, everyone in Zhao hates Qin people. You better not go outside.

Thanks for the reminder. I will be careful.

What is it now?

I found some medicine dregs outside the palace wall. what is happening?

I threw it out.

You are very sick, why didn't you take your medicine? You want to die?

If it's not that, how would Hoalan forgive me?

I am going to tell Haolan now, you wait here.

I will open some new wine. Send you a jar?

Medicine needs to be take on time.

I know.

Zixi, the situation up front is looking good.

Why are you rushing to see me?

Father, I don't have any talent or virtue;

please send me to the Zhao state in exchange for Yiren.

Get up! Get up!

Just get up!

It is not because of you that Yiren is in Zhao state.

You are not responsible for him being a hostage there.

Yiren is smart and capable, and he is much better than me;

if he comes back, he will become a greater help to father.

Since we are at war with Zhao state, Yiren must be in a dangerous position.

Send me there so Yiren can come back.

Silly child!

You are my son just as Yiren is.

Let me tell you, I simply cannot let you leave.

So don't speak any more of the same nonsense.

Father,

I don't want to leave you either, but...

But what? Explain.

I hear that Madame Huayang wants to send me to Zhao state in exchange for Yiren.

I don't want to make things difficult for father, so...

Nonsense! Why would Huayang want that?

Father, there is something you are not aware of.

Recently the Zhao state envoy has been frequenting Huayang Palace.

-I'm afraid... -What audacity!

How dare a Zhao envoy try to manipulate my wife

and make trouble for another son of mine?

This is unacceptable!

Get up, Zixi. I have made my decision.

The internal affairs of the Qin state is not going to be determined by a woman.

I will back you up.

I will look out for you!

I am on your side!

Huayang Palace

Lady.

Crown Prince.

Tell me, did the Zhao envoy come here?

Yes, he did.

Why would the Zhao envoy come to Huayang Palace?

He came to give me a present from royal descendant Yiren.

That really happened. Lady, you are confused.

How can you let Zhao person bewitched you?

Crown Prince, Cixi must be the one who told you.

That I got bought by Lu Buwei, going to speak for Yiren.

How do you know so well?

I guessed right.

Why is my life so sad?

Wife.

I didn't even do anything.

Why did you start crying? Don't cry.

You are still alive.

That great son of yours is constantly setting us against each other.

If one day you are not here,

I don't even know what kind of desolate position I am going to be in.

Don't say such things.

If the sky collapses, I will protect you.

Your protect me, you son only just said a few words to you.

You already pointing your finger to yell at me.

You protect me? How did you protect me?

Go down.

Yes.

I am wrong.

Wife. Your husband was wrong. Your husband apologizes.

Wife, what do you want me to do in order to get your forgiveness?

You will agree to let me adopt Yiren, you will title him as heir.

This...matter is too big.

Wife, I need to discuss with Royal father.

What do you mean? You don't agree?

This matter relates to our Great Qin's lifeline.

I can't easily agree.

Fine.

You don't agree now,

Then wait till one day, you let go and leave me.

No longer in this world.

Leave me by alone bully by anyone.

Then I might as well hit my head against that post now.

From now on, let you live licentiously happy.

Wife, mischievous.

Not allowed to say life & death.

Wife, in this palace you are the most willful.

When did I say that I couldn't agree?

I only said that I couldn't easily agree.

I have twenty something sons.

Whichever one you like you can appoint any one.

That twenty something sons of yours, I already know what kind they are.

Only YIren,

Filial, intelligent, humble and well mannered.

Appoint him.

All right. Will appoint him.

Empty words without evidence.

Then what do you want me to show as evidence.

I want this.

I want this jade pendant that you hand crafted as evidence.

[ Hope Spring Pavilion ]

Young miss. Already inquired, the person is up there.

Go on. Go on.

Do the two of you have additional instructions?

Miss Bai, you can not intrude.

Miss Bai.

I was wondering who was causing such disturbance outside.

Its actually from Lord Wu'an's manor.

Yes, it's me.

Lady please forgive me. I couldn't stop her.

Don't be angry. She is only naive young girl.

For your sake, I will not trifle with her.

What is it, shopkeeper, hurry and bring up the food.

Those from afar is the guest, a guest shouldn't be pouring the wine.

Here, let me treat you to this cup.

Congratulations to Official Lu, successfully convince Huayang and received what you wished for.

You are too courteous.

Without Lady's help, I will be returning with disappointment.

I should be toasting you.

You drink that cup, then i will tell you.

Shameless, really shameless.

Who are you talking about?

Amorous of handsome young man, trying to make him drunk.

Someone is shameless.

Young and inexperienced, she speaks without filter.

Lady should not dispute with her to avoid losing your position.

If someone thinks her tongue is too long, I can cut half of it off.

Come, tast this grilled lamb meat.

Dipped in malt sugar, it is crispy and delicious.

It's shame, today's red braised wild goose is too oily.

Next time you come to my manor and

I will personally cook for you.

Lady can cook?

The transformation within the cauldron is exquisite and delicate.

It's beyond words from the mouth and purposeful description. [Lu Buwei Spring and Autumn Annals: Chapter on Inherent Taste.]

You will know when you come some day.

I will really serve it.

Official Lu, this meat from a beautiful women right near your mouth.

You should eat more of it.

Except that it is slightly too fat.

Too greasy.

A bit old. Be careful that you might not be able to understand each other.

Bai Ling'er you are too wanton.

Everyone knows that Marchioness Xuan is gorgeous.

Countless subjects under her prowess.

Always only been men begging for you favor.

When did you ever have gave consent?

This..so attentive so eager.

Could this be stirrings of love?
