The Legend of Xiao Chuo

Episode 17

Enough.

Yanyan.

Yanyan, you need to testify for us.

Xiao Dalin must harbor wicked intention.

It is you who have that. So what?

My father hasn't said a word

Are you going to disregard my family?

It's my father's party today.

But you are making troubles here.

Get out, now.

Yanyan, don't get us wrong.

We didn't mean that.

We are just...

No, no, no.

They've left.

It's all my fault.

That's for sure.

You should have sent them away early.

Dalin, Yanyan.

Derang.

Come on, follow me.

Po.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I asked you to choose the auspicious day for my wedding ceremony, right?

Which day did you choose?

The foreteller said it will be half a year later.

before the ceremony.

Half a yea?

That long?

Well,

Take Yanyan into the palace as the highest-ranking imperial concubine.

But the ceremony should be like that of queen.

And I'll declare that she is the queen soon later.

Your Majesty, there is King Zhimo.

- Summon him up. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Pay my respects to you, Your Majesty.

No need of that.

I have the courtesy to do this.

Okay.

Well, Zhimo, I used to think that

as long as I'm in this position,

in this palace,

We no longer have to fear anybody or anything.

But to my surprise,

this position should

drive a wedge between you and me.

I know what you mean, brother.

But now you are the emperor.

These days you gave many decrees

and granted me many rewards

to dispel my fear of the late emperor.

But the royal members were rebellious.

If we still stayed together like before,

they would become increasingly hard to control.

Only when I set an example for them with my merits,

will they know when to stop rebelling.

Thus, they'll never

make more trouble for you.

You're right.

But now,

they are not here.

Alright, take a seat.

Sit down.

Over the years,

I have been standing right below here,

watching our imperial uncle sitting on the throne.

At that time,

I would think of

our father's look and

our elder brother's laughter.

They should have sat on this throne.

Brother,

now power is at our hand.

I think our father and elder brother

must have blessed us.

Yeah.

I think so.

I just regret

that this day came so late,

and I didn't keep you safe.

Brother,

wish you many offsprings.

Our late brother and I

will bless you.

By the way,

The title I'll give you is King Ning.

What do you think?

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You may rise.

Po,

give King Ning the list.

I'll take a concubine.

I would like you to deal with all the affairs.

Okay?

Your Majesty is getting married?

Which girl has such an honor?

(The third daughter of Xiao Siwen, Xiao Yanyan)

Zhimo, why you keep silent?

Is anything wrong here?

No,

but as Your Majesty will take a concubine,

the ceremony shouldn't be...

I consulted the Board of Astronomy.

The most suitable day for marrying a queen

is in around half a year.

I can't wait that long.

So you need to get everything done quickly.

Am I clear?

Yes.

Here is everything that we brought from the Mansion.

Master spends so lavishly

on the dowry of Miss Xiao.

The storehouse must be empty now.

Okay, well,

I want to choose some things for Yanyan

as her dowry.

Open the box.

Yes, madam.

Did he... ?

My father has much work to do recently,

and has no time for these trifles.

But,

I've asked Uncle Husi to prepare for the dowry.

He is very reliable.

He will get everything ready for us.

His Majesty just ascended the throne.

Many things wait to be done.

Prime Minister Siwen is surely busy.

Hunian, where have you been?

I was looking for you.

Hunian

Why don't you prepare your wedding ceremony,

but look for me instead?

Han Derang, when will you marry Yanyan?

What's wrong, Hunian?

Are you angry?

You should go to check your own dowry.

Father.

Where did this gold crown for imperial concubine come from?

Yanyan,

look at this.

The third daughter of Prime Minister Xiao Siwen

has a good family background and has reached marriageable age.

She is the person who can assist His Majesty, and will be taken as

the highest-ranking imperial concubine.

It's impossible.

It's true.

Father, I won't. I won't marry him.

I've been engaged with Derang.

I knew that, sweetheart.

His Majesty granted this marriage.

You know?

I once told you that

life is full of incidents beyond your expectation.

Father,

please go to the palace and tell him

I can't marry him.

You are the clan of the queen family.

Even if he is His Majesty,

he still has to consider your opinion.

That's it. As long as you decline it,

he can never make me.

What done is done.

You and Derang did your best

to help him take power.

Is that the way he pays us back?

Father, please go to tell him

I won't marry him. I really can't.

Yanyan,

You know what?

His Majesty really likes you.

I can see that.

More importantly,

He wants you to stay with him forever

help him with governance.

This is not something that any women can do.

You know what I mean?

As for you and Han Derang,

you two lovers

will never get married.

Forget him.

As for the granted marriage

I have already taken the imperial decree.

There is no room for maneuver.

No.

I won't marry him.

I won't.

Never.

Yanyan.

Father.

Earlier you went to the Prime Minister's house to propose the marriage.

Any reply?

Derang...

Your marriage to Yanyan

may be canceled.

Why?

His Majesty gave the imperial decree to the King of Wei Palace.

saying Yanyan will be his concubine.

When was that?

Since the first day when you came back from Black Mountain.

If I let some people down because of my empire,

should I be forgiven?

You are the emperor.

If it helps the development of the empire, you don't need forgiving.

If the person that I let down

is you,

I hope whatever happens in the future

You can stand behind me

and accompany me through the reform of the Liao dynasty.

Can you?

Trust me, I'll be there for you.

We can make it.

These days

I've been thinking about this,

but still don't know how to tell you.

I'm so sorry

to tell you this.

We have made great efforts

to help His Majesty to gain power.

We can't ruin our success because of love affair.

Derang,

among ladies from eminent families in the capital,

no matter who you want to marry,

I'll try my best to help you.

Father,

His Majesty took my wife away.

He must be a fatuous ruler.

Derang!

Your Majesty, Mr. Han ask to see you.

Go to ask him,

whether he still remembers

what he said to me

on that day in Temporary palace

Yes, Your Majesty.

Mr. Han, His Majesty let me ask

whether you still remember what you said that day in Temporary palace

He won't see me?

His Majesty...

Mr. Han

Mr. Han, wait.

His Majesty didn't summon you up.

Mingyi!

I shouldn't have assisted you all the way.

You're such an intruder!

Mingyi!

Mr. Han

Get out of there!

Mingyi, why you did this to me?

Get out.

Mingyi.

You such a coward!

Mingyi, get out of there.

Tell me the reason in person.

Get out of there.

Your Majesty, Mr. Han is in a rage.

You might be accidentally hurt.

There is something...

Mingyi.

I have to face myself.

Your Majesty.

Let go of him.

He won't hurt me.

Dismiss.

Your Majesty! Are you okay?

-Stop. -Tell me the reason!

-Your Majesty! -Stop.

Let go of him.

-Chubu -Here, Your Majesty.

Just leave us.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Get out.

Bro Han, if this can make you feel better,

Just do this to me.

You have come to power now.

Why don't you care about your empire

but take my love away instead?

I need Yanyan.

So does the Liao Dynasty.

But you knew we're engaged.

Yes, I knew.

Yanyan is a gifted girl.

She has a unique insight into politics.

I've asked you.

Between the empire and the love affair

which one would you choose?

You told me that you would choose the former.

This is what you mean by the empire?

Your Majesty!

When you gave the decree,

did you mean the same thing?

Mingyi.

I've always let you have the best since the childhood.

It's not just because my father told me to treat you like my lord.

but because I treat you like one of of the family, even my younger brother.

But Yanyan...

She is the love of my life.

I'll never let go.

No matter what I say,

you will never take it back,

right?

Bro Han,

You and I

should have known this long before.

I'll never change

the choice I've made

To me,

nothing can be more important than the empire.

I finally know your true color.

I shouldn't have thought

that I could understand an emperor.

Derang, did you talk to him?

I don't want to marry him.

Yanyan, let's leave here.

He knew we loved each other

and were engaged.

We shouldn't have been so nice to him.

We have done so much for him.

I don't care about the imperial decree.

You are the only one that I want to marry in my life.

Yanyan,

You are the only wife in my heart.

Let's go.

Leave Shangjing city with me.

Never come back.

Okay.

Let's leave Shangjing city and the empire.

Now!

Let's go.

Yanyan is gone?

Bro Liang said to find Mr. Han with Miss Xiao.

Now Mr. Han is gone too.

Yanyan, is this your choice?

Father.

Where are you going?

Just go for a walk.

What is that?

Open it.

Master asked you to open it.

I've always counted on you.

I'm really disappointed at your off-key action.

Father, didn't you make me disappointed?

I thought

father would be the one who loves us the most

But now,

my sisters and I married into three different families.

We have to see in the rest of our life

that our husbands

fight endlessly with each other.

Father,

have you thought about our feelings?

This is what you think of me?

Wuguli and I have got involved

in the political struggle of the Yelü clan.

Why bother to get Yanyan involved?

Father,

Yanyan and Han Derang love each other.

She didn't want to go to the imperial palace at all.

I beg you to let them go.

Please.

The imperial decree can't be changed!

Why?

His Majesty just want to unite with the queen family by marriage.

Because you have more merits,

so he decided to marry Yanyan.

If father fear that

after His Majesty unite with other two branches of the queen family,

our branch will be weakened,

then...

Then let me go to the imperial palace instead of her.

You're being ridiculous.

Father,

Yansage is still at large.

My marriage to him was over.

As for the marriage to His Majesty,

I am the eldest among the three sisters.

You've been training me to learn literature and live for swords.

and take Empress Dowager Shulü as an example.

As for who to be the queen,

then let me go to the palace instead of Yanyan.

You don't know much about His Majesty.

His interior is completely different from his weak exterior,

and you can't control him.

Nor does anyone else, you know?

Yanyan is the youngest daughter in the family.

We always spoil her.

She is willful as children and always make trouble.

If I can't control him,

will Yanyan manage to do so?

His Majesty

is the man

who have earned the trust of people

as cruel as the late emperor

How shrewd could he be?

If Yanyan went to the palace,

she would be no match for him.

So you really know His Majesty?

If Yanyan were no match for him,

would you?

Hunian,

you're often emotional when making plans,

and cunning when in relationship.

Did it strike you that

Yanyan is chosen by His Majesty himself.

He has feelings for Yanyan.

He will be soft-hearted sometimes,

so Yanyan is a better choice than you.

Father,

my life is hopeless.

Although Wuguli's marriage

seems happy.

But the ambition of Xiyin

will doom her some day.

I thought

among us,

Yanyan can be happy at least.

But, father,

is your heart made of iron?

Why do you want to ruin the happiness of Yanyan

Should my mother see that

her daughters all have unhappy marriage,

how sad would she be.

Stop saying that.

You may rise up.

Sorry, I can't.

Unless you promise

to let Yanyan go.

Hunian, dear me.

Alright,

Let me tell you.

You said you weren't emotional.

Have you ever thought

if you entered the palace,

what Yansage would do?

He will lead his troops to attack the capital.

Then the country will be in chaos.

And Xiao family will be the eternal sinner of the Liao Dynasty.

You know?

But father,

Among the three of you

Only Yanyan is the strongest.

She is fit to be on her own.

When she faces difficulties

after entering the palace,

She can get them over.

I have confidence in her.

Sweetheart, you know,

among the three of you,

I always rely heavily on you.

Your mother died young.

If I had an accident one day,

the responsibility of leading the family

will fall on your shoulders.

For our family, this is much important

than being a queen.

Don't let me down.

Okay?

Get up, sweetheart.

Take this token.

Get your sister and Han Derang back.

You know they can't escape this.

You have to bring Yanyan back alive,

so that things will be in the best interests of us.

If you really care about your sister,

then bring her back safe and sound.

Hunian

Now I need you

to take the responsibility of the head of the family

and behave like the leader of a family

Your Majesty.

What's wrong?

News came from King Yan's and Wei's Palaces

saying Miss Xiao and Mr. Han are gone.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I got that.

If there's any new information,

come and tell me at any time.

You go.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

shall we send someone...?

Han Kuangsi and Xiao Siwen...

They know what to do.

Youzhou city is ahead.

Further ahead, we will leave Liao.

Hurry up and get away from here as soon as possible.

It seems to rain.

Let's find some shelter from the rain first.

But I'm afraid...

It's doesn't matter, Yanyan.

If you get caught in the rain,

it'll be harder for us to leave.

Let's find a place to rest.

We'll leave as soon as tomorrow morning.

Okay.

Yanyan,

make yourself dry quickly.

You got wet in the rain.

You might catch cold.

You'd better get yourself warmed up.

Your clothes are all wet through.

I'm okay.

This rain

really doesn't matter.

What's wrong?

Why you seem so worried?

Look, it's raining hard outside.

Sophora flowers have fallen to the ground.

It's okay.

Trust me.

When we go far away from Youzhou sity,

we'll be safe.

Along the way,

you've been traveling day and night,

and didn't have time to rest.

I shouldn't have asked you

to go with me.

Derang, we must hurry up.

Only when we're out of Liao

can I take a good rest.

Fine.

After we leave Liao,

let's head to the State of Han.

The South is in turmoil.

If we want to live in seclusion,

we have to avoid these chaotic places.

Let's go to the State of Han.

It's affiliated to Liao.

Upon our arrival,

let's find a beautiful place to live in seclusion.

During the day, you go out to work,

and I just weave and cook at home.

Later on,

we work at sunrise and rest at sunset,

staying together till we're old.

Weave and cook?

Look at your hands that often pull bows.

Even though I don't know how to cook,

I can learn by myself.

As the poem goes,

a girl who has never done housework

can learn to cook for her husband.

Don't you know that?

Of course, I know.

I just don't want you

to live a hard life with me.

As long as you're with me,

I'd feel happy every day.

As long as we can escape from all those distractions,

I would do anything with you.

Okay.

In the future,

we will only do what we want to do.

Don't need to worry about others.

When we arrive in the State of Han,

nothing can bother me.

We can do whatever you want.

I am willing to do anything,

only if you are there.

And then,

we're going to have a lot of kids.

It's better to have a boy first.

And then a girl.

Then,

The brother can protect his younger sister.

I think

it's also good to have a daughter first.

Our daughter must look like you.

She must be smart and naughty

and as adorable as you.

Then we will see them grow up.

When they're all married,

we will be old at that time.

When we are too old to walk,

I will

tell them everything about Liao.

and ask them to take us back.

and bury us with our loved ones.

What do you think?

Sounds good.

It's up to you.

But...

Can we really make it?

Sure.

The bright future you just described

made me desperate to leave here with you.

Derang,

I will stay with you forever.

I don't want us to be separated.

We won't part.

We'll be together for the rest of our lives

Is there anything out there?

Nothing.

Sleep now.

I can't.

Yanyan,

these days

must have been tough for you.

And you got wet in the rain today.

We have a long way to go tomorrow morning.

Sleep now.

Okay?

Tell me a story.

All right.

Once upon a time,

on a hill,

there was a happy couple.

Watch out.

Derang,

let's go to Yanyun Terrace for the last time.

After we leave here,

we will be out of Youzhou city.

And they couldn't catch up with us.

Fine.

When we return to our hometown reamins unknown.

Derang,

Look at the beautiful dawn.

We once stood here

overlooking the whole Youzhou city.

And I said unrealistically

to protect the people here.

But now,

everything has changed.

Yanyan?

(Yanyun Terrace)

Today,

we tie the knot with our hair.

From now on,

we will stay together with forever,

and never forget each other.

That day

we fell in love here.

Now

let's leave the past

-Hunian? -Sister?

Yanyan, let's go back home.

Hunian, you've let us go.

Why did you come after us?

This time we'll never come back after we've gone.

Could you just pretend not to have seen us?

Yanyan,

I'd rather you hate me

than let you go.

No.

I can't go back with you.

Derang, let's go.

What's going on?

What happened?

Hunian,

are you trying to drive us to the wall?

Derang,

don't push me.

This is your last chance.

Let Yanyan go back to Shangjing with me.

Yanyan,

let's go.

Stop.

Take Miss Xiao back.

Derang!

Derang!

Stop!

Derang.

Miss Xiao.

Derang!

-Let go of me. -Miss Xiao.

Derang.

Let go of me.

Stop it.

No!

-Derang! -Miss Xiao.

Let go of me.

Derang!

Derang!

Stop it.

Let go of me.

Stop beating him.

No.

Derang!

Yanyan!

Let go of me.

Derang.

Miss Xiao.

Derang.

No.

Let go of me.
