[Legend of Xiao Chuo]

[Episode 13]

His Majesty blinded one of Grand Prince Zhimo's eyes

and also gave out the order to castrate him.

Zhimo?

Is that Imperial Prince Xian's little brother?

The late emperor only has these two sons left.

Young Mistress!

Where is that palace maid?

It was a scene of chaos just now; no one paid attention to her.

Perhaps she was imprisoned by the Emperor's Guards.

Go send word to Nüli. Tell him to bring that palace maid to my palace.

- Yes, Your Highness.
- Go.

[Imperial Gate]

The current Emperor is heading towards being rebelled against by the masses and deserted by his relatives.

He has alienated himself.

Let us go.

[Imperial Gate]

You are Anzhi?

Yes, Your Highness.

Who ordered you to seduce Zhimo and frame him?

Speak!

Grand Prince, please investigate clearly!

Grand Prince Zhimo and I are truly in love.

We promised to live and die together.

How could I harm him?

Grand Prince, how is Zhimo doing right now?

Let me go see him. I beg you! I beg you!

Now you want to see him?

Live and die together? Did you think I would be like Zhimo

and be just as easily fooled?

If you really intended on living and dying together with him,

when he was injured and getting tortured, what were you doing?

Did you shed a single tear for him or did you speak a word on his behalf?

Grand Prince! Grand Prince! I am just a weak girl.

I was scared to death.

I was really scared to death, Your Highness!

My feelings for Zhimo are real. They really are real!

I can allow you to live.

If your two eyes are still this restless,

I will gouge them out.

I do not care what method you use but you need to make him eat,

make him take his medicine, make him want to live.

If you cannot do that, I will let you be buried with him when he dies.

I will! I will!

Thank you, Grand Prince Mingyi! Thank you, Your Highness!

Thank you, Your Highness!

Grand Prince. Take your medicine.

If Grand Prince does not want to see me, Anzhi,

I would rather die in Grand Prince's stead!

If I had known I would bring this kind of calamity to Your Highness,

I might as well...have died in that lake!

My death is worth nothing.

I just hope Grand Prince will stop destroying your own body.

I am so sorry to you, Your Highness!

Since Grand Prince does not want to live anymore,

then I will go to the netherworld first to find the path for you.

Once we are both in the netherworld, if you do not mind,

I will serve you once again.

Wait!

I put my life on the line to save you,

not to watch you die.

Grand Prince, I am not afraid of death.

I am only afraid that you will not want me ever again!

I have nothing left.

I am just debilitated person now.

Who said that?

In my heart,

you will always be my Grand Prince Zhimo.

Always be.

Anzhi.

Do not leave me. Do not leave me.

Grand Prince. Take your medicine properly.

Tend to your wounds first.

I will always be by your side.

Grand Prince, where are you going?

I invited Yanyan to meet today.

It is already this late. I am afraid Miss Yanyan might not be around anymore.

The wine shop also closed a long time ago.

Even if she is not around, I still have to go. I must fulfill my promises to her.

Grand Prince, the palace gates have already been locked.

Leaving at this time, opening the palace gates and bringing out the horse carriage, violating the curfew,

leaving the palace city to enter the Han district,

heading out in the middle of the night to a wine shop that's obviously already closed,

these kinds of actions are so unlike you.

Doing this is indeed a bit inappropriate.

But I do not want to suppress myself anymore.

Just let me be aimlessly willful for once.

Grand Prince, we are almost at the wine shop.

The lanterns in the wine shop are still burning.

This way.

Here.

[Mount Heng Wine Shop]

Grand Prince Mingyi!

I did not expect that you would still be here this late at night.

I heard that something happened in the palace, so I ran here to wait for you.

Thank you.

Are you alright?

I am okay. I am fine.

Would you like to have a drink with me?

Okay. Let us drink until we are drunk.

[Mount Heng Wine Shop]

So you're saying, you have been waiting for me for all this time?

Not exactly. Actually, during the day, I was supposed to meet with Brother Derang.

But he never came.

I just thought that maybe something happened in the imperial court.

It was only when I heard from Butler Husi that I knew something happened to your family.

That reminded me that we had agreed to meet today.

To be honest, I did not know if you would actually come or not.

But I did not want you to feel worse because I failed to keep our appointment.

All these years, I have silently endured everything.

I was careful about everything. Yet, in the end,

I still could not save Zhimo.

Emperor Father and Empress Mother are both gone. In this world,

I only have one little brother, Zhimo. I could endure through any kind of punishment;

I could also bear any kind of torture.

But why did they have to torture Zhimo?

It is not your fault. You have already done really well.

If...

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

From a young age, I have learnt this principle,

that tears

have no use at all.

But I just...

I am just worried.

I am afraid...

I am afraid that, if I cannot bear it anymore,

what should I do?

I am just afraid...

Grand Prince Mingyi. In this whole world,

you are the only one left who can take care of Grand Prince Zhimo.

You will get through this. Everything will get better.

[Emperor Taizu Xiaowu Huiwen], [Empress Zhangde], [The Ascending Emperor Taizu Abaoji], [Empress Zhenlie], [Emperor Dongdan]

Emperor Father and Empress Mother definitely did not expect that I would be able to come even if they would not let me.

Once they bow down to start worshipping,

we will shout together, "You may rise!"

The Yelü clan has extended across ten thousand generations. Since then,

the Emperor and Empress are harmonious and each clan treat each other as relatives.

Let this be passed down to each generation thereafter.

You may rise.

Go!

Empress Mother!

Yelü Chage!

Are you awake?

How come I am here?

You drank a lot of wine last night and then you fell asleep.

I tried waking you up, but you just would not wake up.

I was worried about leaving you here alone, so I just stayed to accompany you.

All these years, I would have trouble sleeping with just the slight sound of blowing wind or rustling grass.

Seldom would I be sleeping so soundly like last night.

Is it because you drank wine?

Perhaps. It also may have been because I had you to accompany me.

So I could be a bit at ease.

Oh right, Grand Prince Mingyi. Next time, if you have any thoughts troubling you,

go tell Brother Derang. He will definitely do his best to help you.

Thank you.

Grand Prince, we should head back to the palace.

Right. You did not return for the entire night, you should get back.

Otherwise, the people in the palace will be looking for you.

I also have to hurry home. Otherwise, my father will be worried.

Hurry home and rest.

I will get going now.

[Mount Heng Wine Shop]

You are here. Come.

Thanks.

Take care.

In the past ten years or so, I have never slept this soundly before.

You are indeed the only one who can make me feel at ease. Yanyan,

you are a gift bestowed to me by Tengri.

You may get up.

I, Han Kuangsi, greet Grand Prince.

You are excused.

Grand Prince, your complexion today is very good.

Grand Prince, Grand Prince Zhimo is recovering very well.

It is all thanks to Anzhi's care.

Miss Anzhi.

Many thanks to you.

I- I do not dare to accept.

In the palace, if you need anything,

just tell Po'er. He will arrange everything for you.

As for anything else, do not worry about it.

You just need to take good care of Zhimo.

Yes, Your Highness.

You are excused.

Go.

Anzhi, why are your hands so cold?

Are you afraid of Second Brother?

N-no! Grand Prince Mingyi is gentle and kind.

How could I be afraid of him?

We are all a family now.

You cannot be this nervous every time you see Second Brother.

Grand Prince. It seems that Zhimo is very dependent on Miss Anzhi.

At present, Zhimo can no longer be without that person.

But there is no official relationship yet between them.

Are you planning on letting this Anzhi stay by Zhimo's side and take care of him forever?

If Zhimo needs Anzhi to take care of him,

then Anzhi must do so.

Do you have something on your mind, Brother Derang?

It is nothing.

What are you keeping from me?

I am just worrying about Grand Prince Mingyi.

Previously, His Majesty would only raise a hand against servants.

But never thought that now, he will also touch the royal clansmen.

Currently, the imperial court is in a state of upheaval.

I am just worried that maybe our marriage should be—

No way!

Brother Derang, I know that everyone is unhappy with such a significant event happening in the palace recently.

But the imperial court situation does not clash with our marriage.

I forbid you from finding an excuse to get out of our marriage.

How is it an excuse?

Of course, I also want to marry you into my family as soon as possible.

For all these years, I have been assisting Imperial Prince Xian.

His body may be frail, but his willpower is strong. He is wise and intelligent.

He has the talent of a sage ruler that is hard to come by.

Besides, the current Emperor is tyrannical.

I hope he can supersede him as early as possible.

His Majesty ordered that Grand Prince Zhimo be castrated as punishment this time.

Seemingly, it was to punish Zhimo.

In reality, he was warning Mingyi.

Regardless of who you are, do not even think about doing anything right under his nose.

However, he was too anxious.

His actions this time, on the contrary, aggravated conflicts.

You know that my family, starting from my grandfather's generation,

would always be tied together with the royal clan's line.

And for many years, I have been staying by Prince Xian's side.

Even if I had to sacrifice my life for him, I would do it without hesitation.

I am just afraid that, if I am slightly careless, I might implicate you.

Who is afraid of getting implicated? Imperial Prince Xian is a wise ruler.

You men are concerned about your home and country;

does that mean us women have to run faraway and hide?

Since I have already decided to marry you,

it is only natural that I accompany you to face the wind and rain.

If you are going to say that you want to delay our wedding for the sake of my safety,

then you are really underestimating me.

I wrongly blamed you.

Yanyan, then are you willing to accompany me in assisting Grand Prince Mingyi?

Of course I'm willing. I trust your judgement in people.

I will accompany you in whatever you do.

You want to take Anzhi as your wife?

Yes. Look, I am like this now.

Anzhi still has not forsaken me.

Also, Anzhi and I had already pledged to marry each other long ago.
(T/N: without family approval)

I should give her an official status now.

Okay.

Since you have already decided,

then I will help you request a royal decree.

Isn't that Anzhi?

She has already climbed up a high branch
(T/N: climbed up the social ladder),

yet she surprisingly still came back to pack up her old things.

Do not spout nonsense.

She is going to be a Princess Consort soon.

His Majesty personally granted the marriage.

She has flown beyond the top branch to become a phoenix.

It is a shame that it is a weak branch without roots.

That makes sense. Otherwise, she would not even have had a chance to become a Princess Consort.

As long as I can leave this wretched place,

I do not care about anything else!

Anzhi, Prince Taiping wants to see you.

Prince Taiping, she has arrived.

Greetings to Prince Taiping.

You really are a beauty.

No wonder Zhimo would offend my Imperial Brother for you.

You do not have to be afraid.

Once you marry Zhimo, you will be a Princess Consort.

In the future, you will need to look the part of a Princess Consort.

Her name is Tabu.

She is going to be your personal maid from now on.

Prince Taiping, you are doing this to...

Do not worry.

You can comfortably be the Princess Consort. As for any other matters,

Tabu will help you.

Yes, Your Highness.

You can be considered to have reached Heaven in a single step.
(T/N: climbed to the top of the social ladder)

I am afraid I suffer from a difficult fate; I do not have this kind of good fortune.

How can you be suffering from a difficult fate?

If something were to happen to Grand Prince Zhimo,

Grand Prince Mingyi will definitely bury me with him!

You just need to obediently follow orders, I will be your backing.

No one will dare to harm you.

Really?

Tabu, take good care of Princess Consort.

Yes, Your Highness.

Thank you, Prince Taiping! I will definitely do my best!

That is all. You may leave.

Who was that?

Zhimo's new Princess Consort. I was teaching her a few rules.

So it was her.

[Taiping Royal Residence]

Greetings to Prince Taiping.

His appearance is satisfactory.

Just that his bearing is lacking a bit.

His background is not great. He does not have any capable people close to him in his patriarchal clan,

so he naturally appears timid.

Never mind then. After he marries the princess, his bearing will come forth in time.

Rise.

Yes, Your Highness.

You are Chuli?

Yes.

I shall grant you a fortuitous lifestyle.

Do you understand what you need to do?

Yes. I shall be loyal to Lord Taiping.
[ Chuli, member of the Shenmi Tribe ]
[T/N: The Shenmi Tribe is actually one of the Empress's Clan]

All right. You may go.

Lord, Princess Hugudian is kind and innocent; she does not engage in worldly strife.

Although the princess' future husband comes from a lowly background,

It is not bad as long as he is kind-hearted.

Lord Han's words are correct.

Right, Lord Han, I have a thought.

I want to tell Your Majesty that I am ill in order to escape from being appointed marriage.

Hope that Lord Han will help me.

I guarantee that no one can find any fault.

I hope that His Majesty will allow me to leave the palace to recuperate.

That will make it easier for me to move about.

That...allow me to think of a way.

I appreciate your trouble.

Oh right, how is Fourth Brother Han lately?

What has he been busy with?

Derang,

he is busy with his engagement.

Engagement?

With which young woman?

With Chancellor Siwen's youngest daughter.

The Grand Prince and his Princess Consort are here!

So unexpected that would be a double celebration for our branch today.

Elder Brother.

I wish that the two of you will always be harmonious and be together until old age.

Thank you, Elder Brother.

I shall not let Your Highness down.

I will take great care of my husband.

Chuli, I only have this one younger sister.

If you do not treat her well, I will not let you get away.

Yes, I will definitely treat the princess with my entire sincerity.

Since the three of us siblings are all here today,

let us make a toast to our late Emperor father, Empress Mother and also Empress Zheng.

Let us raise our glass to them.

Hope they can bless us with safety and prosperity from Heaven above.

Grand Prince! Grand Prince!

- Second Brother!
- Grand Prince Mingyi!
- Quickly assist His Highness to sit down!

How are you, Your Highness!

Grand Prince...

What is wrong?

How is His Highness?

Your Majesty, Grand Prince Mingyi has been weak since young.

His previous illness has not completely healed.

And now, he insisted on organizing Grand Prince Zhimo's

and Hugudian's weddings, hence, his old illness has recurred.

Your Majesty, I am concerned...

Those are all nonsense.

Mingyi's illness cannot be delayed any further.

Imperial Brother, I have heard of the Southern people's custom of warding-off evil by a wedding. Why not—

What is it?

Imperial Uncle, do not do that.

Speak slowly.

I have been weak since young.

I could lose my life at any time.

Do not hurt a young lady's prospects so. Regarding the wedding to ward off evil,

we should not do it. Moreover,

Southerner's customs may not be suitable to Liao people like us.

All right.

We will not do it since you do not want to.

Kuangsi, you need to take great care of Mingyi.

If you need any medicine, do speak out.

Use any treatment necessary.

If His Highness is transferred to recuperate in Li Gong at the city outskirts,
[T/N: Li Gong = Detached Palace; general term for emperor's palace outside of the capital]

that will be of great help.

There is much cold and damp qi in the palace after all.

With His Highness being surrounded by cold qi like that,

it is natural for his health to be weak.

All right.

Then let Mingyi move to the Li Palace.

Temporarily recuperate there.

Why are you not asleep?

I disturbed your sleep.

I cannot sleep. Thinking of how to find a good girl for Mingyi.

You are getting addicted to being a matchmaker.

You have handled Zhimo and Hugudian's wedding.

Now you want to do Mingyi's.

That is what I get for being the royal uncle.

Mingyi is my most favorite youngster.

We hold him dearly, but his body is truly too weak.

Probably hard to match with a girl from a good family.

You help me think of this as well.

Is there any suitable girl from the noble families?

The family situation can be lower. Her father and brothers do not need to be too strong.

We just need her to be refined.

Actually, Mingyi was right.

His body is weak and gets sick easily.

Even if he gets married, he may not be able to perform marital duty.

By then, he would be harming an innocent girl.

Zhimo is already like this.

I want to help Mingyi find a suitable match.

Or else the late emperor will be without progeny.

Instead of troubling Mingyi,

why not adopt one from another branch?

That way Mingyi will feel relieved.

Maybe once he is free from worries, his health will improve.

All right. You should get some sleep.

As long as Zhimo and Mingyi will not have any descendants,

I can just have them adopt some children from the side branches.

Prince Renhuang's branch will no longer be a threat.

The three branches of Taizhu will then be under my control.

Miss Yanyan, you are here.

Where is Sir Han? Our Young Mistress is here to get his shopping list so she can buy them for him.

Quite unfortunate.

Young Master just left for the Li Palace to visit Imperial Prince Xian.

It was only a moment ago.

Should I chase him back?

No need, Brother Derang is attending to serious matters.

No need to disturb him.

Young Mistress, since we have free time today,

how about we invite the two Princess Consorts to play polo?

All right, let us go find Second Sister.

- Yes.
- I am going.

Take care, Miss Yanyan.

[ Li Palace ]

Grand Prince.

You are here.

What is it? Still upset about Zhimo's matter.

Since Anzhi is by his side taking care of him,

I am not worried for the time being.

Right.

Set up a meeting with Chancellor Siwen for me. I want to see him as soon as possible.

At this time?

If we want to make a move, we must have Chancellor Siwen's support.

Therefore I must meet him in person.

I will arrange it.

Fourth Brother Han, have you consider...

that this risk we are taking may take everyone's lives.

Are you...scared?

I am not afraid.

Since eighteen years ago, our lives have been intertwined.

I just have been thinking.

This is my fate upon birth. I have no other choice.

But you have given too much for me.

MIngyi, if we were to speak of fate, it is not just yours, it is also mine.

My Han family has been involved with the Han System Reform since three generations ago.

My path supporting you is already my fate.

Not only because of my family's heavy responsibility but also because of our friendship.

You are my most trusted person.

Even if we were successful in taking back the great power,

it is only a beginning.

There will be many dissidents. Many people like Chage,

who would want my life to prevent the reform.

There is a chance that all that we do

will be for nothing.

No.

Mingyi, regardless if we are successful or not, I will stay by your side.

I do not believe we will repeat the late Emperor's fate.

Fourth Brother Han, between the empire and love,

which one do you think is more important?

Of course, the affairs of the empire.

If I were to wrong some people because of the empire,

do you think I should be forgiven?

Mingyi, as long as the actions the Emperor takes is

for the benefit of the world, then no forgiveness is needed.

What if the person I wrong is you?

In the path to achieving Han System Reform, as long as it benefits the Great Liao,

I shall not regret a hundred deaths.

Fourth Brother Han, I hope that regardless of what happens in the future

you will be able to stand behind me.

Accompany me to complete this path of Great Liao reform.

Can you do this?

Believe in me. I shall definitely help you.

We can definitely do this.

How is it?

Congratulations Grand Prince and Princess Consort.

My Lady is over two months into the pregnancy.

Really?

Men, reward him well!

Thank you, Your Highness.

My Husband, we will have a child!

Congratulations, Grand Prince and Princess Consort!

My dear girl, you are so amazing!

You need to rest well.

Chongjiu, Guiyin,

you need to take good care of the Princess Consort. Or else I will punish you.

Do not worry, Grand Prince. We two sisters will never leave the Princess Consort's side.

When the little prince arrives, our royal residence will become lively.

Guiyin, please go to Chancellor and Prince Taiping's residences. Let my father and elder sister know.

- Yes, My Lady.
- Wait!

Let us wait a little on this matter.

Do not leak out the matter of Princess Consort's pregnancy.

Or else, I will surely not show you mercy.
