~ 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 38
What if I won't allow it?
Then we will...make offense.
Leave Xiaochun here.
Xiaochun has already died. Are you still not going to leave her alone?
I said to leave her here!
What happens if I won't?!
- Kill him! - Stop!
I knew it. I knew that you wouldn't leave me.
Everything they did here is playing the lower person in vain.
Xiaochun, come back with me.
Let's reconcile and return to how we were before. Okay?
I had hoped to grow old with you. Now the thought of old age grieves my heart.
The Qi has its shore. The Shi its banks;
How fondly we talked and laughed, How solemnly we swore to be true!
Now that I think of it, it's only an illusion.
Yi, I won't argue for myself.
But please consider that I protected for many years. Please let me go.
No! You said...you said you wouldn't leave me.
You promised to protect me forever.
I'm tired.
What did you say?
I made a mistake and feel guilty.
But, I can't do anything about it.
I have to practice medicine in different places
and save more people to lessen my sin.
If I stay in the palace, you won't let go of your vengeance
and I can't let go of my guilt.
You and I will torture each other for the rest of our lives.
What's the point in that?
- Let go. - No!
I won't let you go.
Xiaochun, I know I was wrong.
I should've realize my error and show repentance.
In this world, no one...
No one is as important to me as you.
It's them. Isn't it?
They taught you this! They told you to leave me!
Alright. Kill them all!
If you want to kill, just kill me!
Why?
Prince, you need some time to forget.
Xiaochun needs time to recover.
She already died once.
You really will force her to die?
Then you will gratified and satisfied?
Men, haul this vicious woman down.
Use cruel torture to interrogate.
Why can't you let her go on the road in peace?
You really must let her die with grievance?
Let's go!
Xiaochun!
Oh no! The arrow was poisonous!
Hurry!
Where's my medicine box?
It's in the palace.
- I'll get it! - It's too late.
No! No! There must be a solution!
If you go back now, you can't leave anymore.
Gao Haoyang, I'm sorry!
I didn't think I would endanger you! It's all my fault!
Xiaochun, you were already not that pretty.
Now that you are crying, you're even uglier.
It's not worth it! For me,
it's not worth it!
You should stop engage in so much affection for me.
I just refuse to give in. The woman I like.
Why can't I have her?
Today, I want to give a life back to you since you saved me before.
Haolan, when I was younger,
I wished that I could have a cute little sister.
The first time I saw you
I was really happy. Really.
Don't need you to ask me.
I will take good care of Xiaochun on my own.
Why would you say something that goes against your heart?
You really are the one who understands me the most.
You're right. From the first time I saw you, I've always disliked you.
Pretentious, rule following.
Not one bit adorable.
Whereas the current you are much more carefree.
Gao Haoyang.
When you were young, you threw mud at me. Later after you grew up, you used whip.
I also disliked you.
Every time I have a dream, I wanted to you wring off your head.
Therefore...now...
We've reconciled.
Yes. We've reconciled.
Elder cousin.
Would've been so good if I had died in battleground.
Dummy, why are you crying again?
Gao Haoyang. Gao Haoyang! Gao Haoyang!
Gao Haoyang! Gao Haoyang!
[ Xianyang ]
What are you doing?
Royal Grandson Yiren returning to Qin. Quickly let us thru.
Royal Grandson?
Still not letting us thru? We are rushing to see the Crown Prince.
Hurry, let thru. Immediately.
Hold it.
Royal grandson had been left at Zhao state as hostage.
How can he easily return to Qin? If he is not a swindler then must be a Zhao spy. Take him down for questioning.
- How dare you!
Take him.
Wait, I'll go with you.
The one they just captured is really royal grandson?
Qin and Zhao are in battle, that royal grandson had already been kill early on.
What royal grandson. He is a liar.
Prime Minister's Residence.
Report to royal grandson, the external wound is not severe. It's just that the miss' body is delicate and weak.
The discomfort of extended traveling plus the scare. She just needs rest and recuperate.
- Go down now. - Yes.
Subtitles brought to you by The Scintillating Team @ Viki.com
Who are you?
I should be the one asking you.
I am Qin State's prime minister Fan Ju's daughter.
- I wish to see him. - Fan Ju's daughter?
What are you doing?
Fan clan's heirloom pendant.
That is correct, you are indeed Fan Ju's daughter.
Rude arrogant man.
The favor of one bowl of rice must be repaid; a small grievance also must be revenged.
Fan family's instructions are really not inferior.
Let me go. Let me go!
And if I don't
If you don't, I'll scream
You will be chopped into minced meat.
Scream then.
Royal grandson, I have an important matter to report.
Let me tell you.
Here is my fiance's room. Rest well.
He is... Qin State's royal grandson?
Elder Brother, haven't seen you for a long time.
Who are you?
I am royal grandson Yiren, sent away to Handan as hostage.
Now, I'm back.
Who?
- Yiren. - Yes.
Don't you know the battle at Handan.
My brother YIren was already killed by Zhao people.
Where did you pop out of ?
Royal grandson, your information is not accurate.
Royal Descendant has been alive and fine.
The people distributing such rumor must have ulterior motive.
If you can not recognize him then let's ask the Crown Prince to verify.
He can not go as far as to not recognize own biological son.
Jesting. Father has busy affairs to attend to. How can he be trouble by the two of you?
All right, I already verified.
These two are imposters. Execute them on the spot.
Royal Descendant, if you dares to attack a Qin prince, that would be defying one's superior.
- Strike out. - Hold on.
If you listen to only his words, once the matter is exposed.
He is the royal descendant he may escape death, but what will become of you?
Defying one's superior is akin to rebelling. A person charged, will implicated three clans.
Don't listen to these two's nonsense. I want you to attack.
Everyone stop.
Who dares to start out?
Consort Xia, why are you here? That's against regulation.
I have Madam Huayang's imperial tablet. Now is it lawful?
Mother.
These brows, these eyes.
This out of ordinary bearing.
Bears a remarkable resemblance to Crown Prince's. Great Qin's royal grandson.
Consort Xia, did you look carefully?
Mother and son haven't seen each other for so many years. How can you recognize him?
Such words from royal descendant is truly absurd.
No mothers in this world would not recognize their own biological sons.
For Qin state, my son was send far away to Zhao as hostage.
After surviving many hazards to return back to Qin.
Yet you humiliate him so. He is Great Qin's prince.
Is Crown Prince's only heir. I want to see who still dares to be ill manner.
Maybe royal descendant please forgive us.
Is this really Yiren?
Elder brother.
Are you really my brother?
Elder brother.
No time no see. You've grown up.
I can't even recognize you.
Will you blame me for not recognizing you?
I don't dare. br> - Good if you came back.
Let's go see our parents.
If he knew you came back, he would be happy.
No need. I will bring him.
Royal descendant is a person of eminence, we dare not disturb.
Look, Consort Xia is anger at me.
It's my fault that I was too bewildered. Didn't recognize you.
It's unavoidable that consort Xia is overthinking this.
How about this? I will prepare a banquet in a few days to celebrate your return.
Thank you.
- Yiren, - Mother.
Mother at last see you returned.
I am back.
I'm back.
Royal descendant, now is not the time to weep in each other's arms.
Please quickly change and see Madam Huayang.
Huayang Palace.
Why is Royal descendant dress in such manner?
My Chu side's ancestor was the God of Fire.
He enjoyed wearing red color from top to bottom.
Mother had been far away from native country for so long. Must have missed it.
Today, I especially changed into Chu state's dress.
Willing to do so for your enjoyment.
What did you just called me?
Yiren call to pay respect to mother.
Please get up.
Yiren is so humble and well mannered. I am happily surprised.
Yiren.
YIren, Yi is strange. This name is not good.
Mother is from Chu.
Now that I follow mother, naturally I am also descendant of Chu.
If mother permits, how about change the name to
- Zichu. - Zichu.
Zichu is good. Great.
In this way, everyone in the world will know that
You are my son. That's great.
I thank mother for the name.
I will bring you to see your parent now.
Madam, we just asked for a meeting but coincidentally your majesty was very busy. Dare not disturb.
What is he busy about?
I will take you to see him, you will be able to see him.
- Let's go. ,br> - I will obey.
[ Harmony Gate ]
Father grant you a big residence, thousands of taels of gold, and the position of minor treasurer.
Although this might not meet your expectation.
But you are generally a patient person, you probably should be able to wait longer.
Naturally it's about that.
Royal descendant is not one to play up to the powerful. Your behavior with Madam Huayang before shocked me.
A leader can submit or stand tall. Only bending my knees and fawning on Madam Huayang.
There wouldn't be any damage. Why is not suitable?
I thought that is not like your personality.
I promised Haolan to bring her back in dignified manner.
The first step is that I need to be able to stand firm in Xianyang.
Father.
Ya'er. You and I just reunited recently.
I can't bear to marry you off so soon.
It's my honor to be able to share father's burden.
I've heard that royal descendant Yiren is back?
Didn't expect that you live deep in the maiden quarters.
Yet you have quick access to information.
That royal descendant Yiren has the support of Madam Huayang.
Now he also became Qin's heir.
He is royal grandson Zixi's greatest enemy.
How can I not pay attention?
Keep going.
Even though Zixi calls you teacher.
But this person is very arrogant, difficult to control.
Father must have misgiving.
But if you marry me over and he becomes your son in law. Then all will be bounded on the same boat.
Father can then go all out and fully execute.
Therefore, the two families marriage alliance should be done the sooner the better.
Right?
You grew up with your grandmother since young.
I was concerned you might be too naive and innocent.
To know that you can think at this level is unexpected.
Truly beyond your father's expectation.
Father's choice is also daughter's choice.
Why?
Because I want to become
the most privileged woman in Qin.
Correct.
My daughter is supposed to become the queen of Qin state since birth.
Become the world's most privileged woman.
This is also father's wish.
[ Feathery Sun Palace ]
Royal Descendant, what are you doing?
Leave us.
Speak, who are you really?
Royal Descendant, are you confused?
Don't you remember who you married?
Don't test my patience. Answer my question.
Why are you pretending to be Fang Ya?
I don't understand what you're saying.
Bring that person up!
Royal Descendant, that woman...
I'll recognize her even if she turned to ashes.
What happened?
My young mistress and I were on the way to Xianyang.
We ran into her and young mistress let her stay with us. During a riot, she used the chance to
take over young mistress' identity.
She even wants to marry Royal Descendant.
What a vicious woman!
Nonsense!
I'm telling the truth. That day,
I saw you pick up a rock
and knocked our young mistress dead.
Since you saw it, why didn't you save her?
I was afraid, I was really afraid.
The way she was, she looked like
she could eat someone alive.
What a ridiculous story!
Royal Descendant, would you believe it?
My young mistress' corpse is still there.
Just find it and
you'll know what I say is true.
Remote areas have been through wars
and it's not easy to find a healthy living person.
But abandoned corpses are everyone to be found.
Do you have any other proof?
The driver. Find our driver and he'll corroborate what I say.
Where do you find this one person in the crowd?
Even if you find him, how do we know you didn't scheme together?
Then go to Wei state. Find our old servants and family friends.
They all recognize our young mistress.
You are an insolent old servant who has frequently stolen our jewelry.
You would have been killed by grandmother if I hadn't begged for your life.
How can you defame you like this?
Royal Descendant, she is full of lies.
Send someone to Wei state and you'll find proof.
It'll take two months back and forth.
You are full of hatred for being evicted from my household.
Now you are defaming me on the day of my marriage.
Rumors are more dangerous than a tiger. Even if you have proof,
Royal Descendant and Fang family will be laughed at by everyone.
Royal Descendant, please believe me.
She really isn't my mistress. She is a woman of unknown origin.
Royal Descendant, if you really believe this crazy woman,
then just go find Fang Ya's corpse.
You can marry that skeleton.
Take down this woman and execute her right away.
Royal Descendant, Royal Descendant. I told the truth.
Believe me, Royal Descendant.

Royal Descendant is wise.
You should feel lucky.
why lucky?
She came to stop us when she heard about our getting married.
If she had gone to the Prime Minister's manor first, would you be alive now?
Royal Descendant, I don't understand what you're saying.
A fake cannot be real.
You are wrong.
To the Prime Minister of Qin, a daughter that is alive
is a lot more useful than a skeleton. It's the same for you.
Tell me, what's your reason to pretend to be Fang Ya?
I was lost and homeless
with no place to settle.
Overnight I became the daughter of a Prime Minister and the wife of a Royal Descendant.
I'll ask you: Who can resist this temptation?
Such candor.
Do you know why I am keeping you?
I like your smarts and quick instinct.
And you are naturally full of self confidence
and arrogance.
Thank you for your compliments, Royal Descendant.
Can you release me now?
Of course now. You entered my room,
you are my woman now.
Master, I sent an invitation myself, but he just won't come.
Such style.
Did you tell him I invited him?
Of course, I was very clear. But he kept evading.
He either had a meal engagement or a business trip. He just wouldn't come.
The mountain won't come to me,
I'll have to go to the mountain then.
Find out where Lu Buwei is. I'll go to him.
Master, you are a highly respected person.
People usually kowtow to you, how can you go to him?
Stupid. Get the carriage ready.
Yes.
That's enough.
Everyone one.
Lu Buwel just arrived here for the first time. Please take care of me.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Master Lu, you personally escorted Royal Descendant back Qin. That's quite an accomplishment.
Now you are the hot person next to Lady Huayang..
We thought you would look down at us.
Who knew you would be so easy going?
I'm ashamed.
How can you say that?
I have just arrived and know nothing of politics.
If I don't have your help, how can I establish a footing in Xianyang?
Let me drink up this toast.
- Good. - Good.
Master Lu, go ahead.
Isn't that Marchioness Xuan?
Marchioness Xuan?
Everyone, I'd like to borrow your master. Do you mind?
Of course not.
Here, Master Lu.
This boat is narrow. It'll be too crowded if I step on board.
Another day.
Right.
That boat is too narrow.
Master Lu is cold and won't tolerate me.
He jumped into the water?
That's not necessary.
Welcome.
Why do you fear me? Am I a tiger that will eat you?
When I first came to Xianyang, I was caught up with work.
That's why I left you out in the cold. Please forgive me.
Not a single man in Handan City dares to reject me.
You are the first.
You misunderstood. I had no such intentions.
"Where do I go to pluck dodder vines?"
"Dodder vines are found in the countryside of the city of Mu in my motherland." [Today's Henan Province, Qi County.]
"Who do you think I am thinking of?"
"I am your beautiful maiden from the noble Jiang clan."
"A date amidst the mulberries;"
"An invitation to meet up at a palatial place;
"Seeing me off on the Qi River." [The Classic of Poetry: Ode of Yong State - Amid the Mulberries.]
My lover asked me to wait in the mulberry woods.
He invited me to meet up at a palatial place.
Then, he sent me off on the Qi River.
How long has this path been?
Tonight is very short.
It breaks one's heart.
I will help you to go ashore.
You and the rest of the men are the same.
On the surface, you seem very respectful.
Actually, in your heart, you look down on me.
The Mi clan is extremely distinguished.
But, those waning and declining branches like us, who would protect?
Father has been sick and bedridden for a long time.
My younger siblings had been crying and calling for me.
When I was pushed to the extreme,
I could only sell myself to enter the manor of Marquis Xuan.
You are beautiful and was fancied by Marquis Xuan.
When you became the legal wife, it's also considered your blessing.
Could it have been that easy?
When I entered the manor of Marquis Xuan, I was just an insignificant slave.
If the precious Melodious Laughingthrush bird loses one feather, I would be whipped 10 times.
After that, younger sister grew up,
and became more beautiful and attractive.
Marquis Xuan saw her in the manor one day and fancied her.
In order to protect my younger sister,
I could only undress myself and laid on his couch.
Everyone thought I climbed up the social ladder.
But they forgot that Marquis Xuan was already an old man of over sixty years old.
It wasn't easy to stop his desire for Huayang.
If I want to take the post as the head of the Marquis Manor,
it was also harder than ascending to Heaven. [An extremely difficult task.]
But if we go back in time, I would still do it this way.
For my siblings, this was the only way we could survive.
I can understand your plight.
You don't understand.
I used my lifetime to be with an old man on the verge of death.
Now that he is dead,
what rights do those moralists have to harshly interfere?
You are not wrong.
Even if I'm wrong, I don't care.
But I am not the one who could make you happy.
Everyone says, "Cross the river and tear the bridge apart". [Abandon your benefactors once you don't need them anymore.]
Lord Lu, you are smart.
Don't you know that you are still on the bridge and actually doing something stupid?
That Zichu of yours...
Isn't he still not the king of Qin state yet?
I don't like to be coerced by others.
The water is very cold.
Haolan, I'm going to replenish some medicines. Wait here for me.
All right.
Isn't she the wife of the traitorous Royal Descendant of Qin?
Everyone, come and take a look now.
Come and take a look now.
She's the one who married that traitorous Royal Descendant of Qin. Shameless traitor!
Beat her to death!
- Beat her! - What are you doing?
What are you doing?
When Handan City was surrounded,
she even gave water and medicines to the wounded soldiers when she was pregnant.
What disservice did I do to you that you are yelling to beat me?
Stop pretending.
You can't even protect your life. Who are you acting for?
Zhao state was defeated in the war, what has this to do with Haolan?
- You... You and also you! - Xiaochun.
The Qin state killed your families. Instead of settling scores with them,
you are here bullying a weak woman.
- Cowards, weaklings. - What did you say?
I said, you can only fight with your tongues but not with your hands and feet.
You only fight among yourselves every day. Aren't you shameless?
- Xiaochun. - Everyone, listen carefully.
They are in this together. Beat them!
Beat them!
- Xiaochun. - Beat them!
I did marry a Qin person but I have never betrayed Zhao state.
I did not let the kingdom down.
I did not let you down. I did not let my conscience down.
Yes, listen carefully to me. My husband is the son of the king of Qin state.
I'm a guest of the king of Zhao. Even the royal family dare not touch me. Even more so for you.
If you don't want your lives, give it a try then.
Enough, everyone, disperse.
Let's disperse.
- Haolan. - Xiaochun.
- I'm okay. - Let's leave now.
Young Master, His Lord instructed us not to stir up any troubles. Don't go.
Young Master.
A pack of ungrateful people. Shameless creatures.
- Did you practice medicine just to gain gratitude? - No.
Stop it then.
As long as we didn't do anything against our conscience, who cares about what others say.
I wasn't happy.
I wasn't happy at how they scolded us. Weren't you angry?
Angry? Of course, I was angry.
Based on my temper, I hate them till I want to hang them
on the trees for three days!
It wasn't that serious. It was just a bunch of idiots.
Xiaochun, everyone has evil thoughts in their hearts.
Especially when they just lost their families. They are just venting their anger.
Tell me. What if someone instigated this?
Are you saying...
These b*stards deserve to die.
If I see them, I will peel off their skin and pluck out their tendons.
Oh no. The medicine that I just bought, I left it on the counter.
Wait here. I'm going to get it.
Come back soon.
- Li Haolan, it has been a long time. - What are you doing here?
I waited for a long time before I hope you would leave the palace.
It has been a long time. Today, we should settle our old scores.
You!
- What are you doing? - What am I doing?
- Tell me what I'm going to do! - Release me!
Are you crazy? I'm the wife of the Royal Descendant of Qin!
He has gone back to Qin state. He has his own beautiful harem. Why would he miss you?!
- Stop blowing your own trumpet. - Release me.
- Come, give me a kiss! - Release me!
Xiaochun.
He's dead.
Haolan, I killed another person again.
He oppressed men and women and committed countless of evil deeds.
He even killed innocent people in front of me.
By killing him, I wonder how many people you have saved.
No, he must not die here.
Get rid of the body first and clean the blood stains.
- My Lord. - Where's the Young Master?
Why couldn't you find him out there?
- Young Master, he... - Speak the truth!
My Lord, Young Master instead on finding that woman to create trouble for her. I couldn't stop him.
Where did he go?
What happened just now?
- Is Zheng'er awake? - Yes.
When I was at the back of the courtyard, I heard some movements. Zheng'er woke up and I dare not leave him.
It's nothing. I was careless just now and overturned the medicines.
I just tidied them up.
I see.
- Open the door! - Who's knocking so loudly?
- You are going to break down the door. - Open the door now!
Take Zheng'er and go in. Go now.
Open the door!
Li Haolan, where's my son? Call him out now.
