The Legend of Xiao Chuo

Episode 38

Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. Yuxiao is here with you.

Your Highness.

His Majesty feels sick again.

What did Diligu say?

All this time, when His Majesty was ill,

we didn't even call Diligu.

Why?

Diligu gave His Majesty a pill

which could relieve the pain,

and His Majesty took it whenever he felt sick.

Now His Majesty did not even drink the potion.

Call Diligu to come in.

Yes.

It's my incompetence.

Please punish me, Your Highness.

His Majesty has told me

that I must not let you know

anything about the pills.

Is the disease of His Majesty so serious?

The disease of His Majesty...

If you get something to say, just say it.

As for the disease of His Majesty,

Mr. Han Kuangsi and I are at a loss what to do.

At present,

only analgesics

can relieve the pain of His Majesty.

At a loss what to do?

Your Highness.

You just go and stand there with this.

You're all dismissed.

Do you want to speak with me?

Diligu already told me.

You shouldn't have kept it from me.

I can't share your worries,

so I don't want you to worry about me.

I have ordered someone

to go to the Southern Dynasties and find the best doctor for you.

I'm sure you'll be all right.

That won't be necessary.

I know what my own body is.

I've just wanted to

live out

the remaining years in peace.

Mingyi.

His Majesty and the Queen have made up?

Yes, madam.

Go and ask your excellency to go back home,

and tell him that my heart aches again.

Yes.

I had no idea

the illness of His Majesty has become so serious.

His Majesty is gravely ill

and Longxu is still young,

I do not know what to do in the future.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

No matter what happens, I will be at your side

Thank you, Mr. Han, for supporting me and His Majesty

all these years.

A true man is ready to die a loyal death for those who know the worth of him.

It's because of you and His Majesty

that I have had the opportunity to show my talents.

Your Highness.

What's up?

There's someone from Privy Senator Han's Mansion

who said

that Privy Senator Han's wife had a heart attack.

Mr. Han, just go home and have a look.

Please excuse me.

Your Highness, you're so tired.

Please get some rest.

I don't have the leisure and the mood to take a rest.

There's still a bunch of memorials waiting for me.

So just tell me

why you are doing this.

I would rather people think that I'm a jealous woman,

a mad woman,

or a foolish woman who fails to see the larger issues,

than have you come to Palace again.

You have taken part in the reform

which means you have already been in danger.

If you get involved in the dispute between the Emperor and Queen,

you will die without burial place.

Even if you don't think for yourself,

you should think about your father,

think about the Han family.

Do you think

I have a choice in the matter?

Dear,

you're so smart

that you must know gossip is a fearful thing.

His Majesty has been moodiness and temperamental in recent years.

When the emperor is dying of serious illness,

you can't take him in common sense.

Dear,

please listen to my advice,

don't enter the Palace except going to court.

Just think about it for your parents.

Let me think about it.

Thank you, Mr. Han,

for supporting me and His Majesty all these years.

Dear,

you're so smart

that you must know gossip is a fearful thing.

Childe,

it's an invitation from the King of Zhao Palace,

saying there's something important

and inviting you to come over to have a talk.

It's a personal letter to Han Derang.

It's such a sunny and beautiful day.

We haven't seen each other for many days, why don't we meet and have some chats?

I've got the wine ready and hope you won't refuse.

Xiyin.

Come on, Derang.

Try this.

Why do you want to see me today,

Your Highness?

All these years,

the weather has been favorable, and Liao Dynasty has been growing stronger.

And you've been working so hard

for revolutionizing our country.

I've known all of it,

and I've been very impressed.

So I invited you over here today

to have a chat with you.

These are

my responsibilities.

Yeah.

You are faithful to His Majesty.

The Queen has also been working day and night

for the national affairs.

Well, Mingyi...

he seems to be sick,

but in the back,

without the Queen's knowledge,

he took a concubine from Bohai Sea.

I really feel sorry for Yanyan,

who has been running our country all day,

and I'm afraid

she's been kept in the dark about it.

Really?

Well, Your Highness,

what do you mean

by telling me such tales

about His Majesty?

Mingyi

has been addicted to the imperial harem day and night,

and ignored the government,

who is not qualified

to be the Emperor of Liao Dynasty.

Your Highness,

it's not easy for Liao Dynasty

to have today's situation.

I hope

Your Highness

could stay on the straight and narrow.

What I admire most about you

is your sense of responsibility.

But Derang,

you've got a heart of your own

doesn't mean

Mingyi has a heart for you.

When he was sick,

he was kind

to both of you and your father.

But when he came to power,

he immediately seized Yanyan and made her his Queen,

putting you two

apart alive.

Even I felt unworthy for you.

Derang,

as long as you can help me,

I will give

you and Yanyan a hand

to let you renew the old romance.

Please don't say another word, Your Highness.

I will think

that I never heard

what came out of your mouth today.

His Majesty had been in power for over a decade,

it's not easy to see peace in Liao Dynasty,

and no one

would like to see

civil strife everywhere.

I also advise you

to figure out the situation clearly

and speak and act cautiously.

Otherwise,

you will bring about your own destruction.

What's the matter, childe?

Xinning,

I'm going to the Palace,

I have matters to discuss with His Majesty.

All right.

You

haven't walked with me like this for a long time.

It's my fault,

and I'll spend more time with Your Majesty in the future.

I know you're busy with national affairs

and the children,

I don't blame you at all.

By the way,

I have an idea.

I want to

crown Wenshunu as the King of Liang.

Wenshunu is still young.

Isn't it

a little early to be the King now?

But I can

build a palace for him

only if I make him the King.

As our eldest son,

he should certainly bear more.

It was a good thing

for him

and Liao Dynasty

to make him King early.

Whatever Your Majesty decides,

I'll just follow.

Let's go.

Wait for me, brother.

Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

Slow down.

Father and mother.

Get up.

Father.

How are you, father?

I'm so sad not to see you

all these days.

I'm doing well.

But I heard

you haven't been studying very hard

but playing around lately.

No, it's not right.

Really?

Then today,

let me test both of you, okay?

Okay.

Well, let me ask you this.

What have you been reading lately?

I'm reading The Political Program of Zhen Guan.

The teacher says

it's your favorite book.

Well, your teacher is right

that I do love that book.

But just tell me

what you have learnt

after reading this book.

In my opinion,

the most remarkable thing about Taizong

was that he respected the sage

and pitied the disobedient.

Because he had such a mind,

and used the strengths of people

while ignoring their shortcomings,

thus he created the prosperous period of Tang Dynasty.

It seems that my son has realized

the essence of Taizong's governance.

What about you, Guanyinnü?

I think father is just like Taizong,

who could treat the people under his rule equally.

Who taught you to amuse me

with these words?

My nannie.

She said I had to make father like me,

then I could stay at the Palace for a long time.

What else did the nannie teach you?

She told me

not to speak to Privy Senator Han.

Why?

I don't know.

My nannie just said she wouldn't hurt me.

The princess said strange things

to His Majesty and me,

and she said you taught her those things.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

You're just a nannie,

how dare you talk about important official in the court?

Why on earth didn't you let the princess talk to Privy Senator Han?

I dare not speak.

Since the Queen asks you,

you have to answer truthfully.

There are some rumors outside the Palace

which said the second prince was conceived

when the Queen rushed to Youzhou city

to relieve the siege,

and that the princess's preference

is not like His Majesty.

I am afraid that there would be another rumor

that may hurt the princess,

so I told the princess

not to get close to Privy Senator Han.

I'm only trying to do what's best for the princess,

and there is absolutely no second thoughts.

That's ridiculous.

Well,

did you ever mention it to Guanyinnü?

No.

No, never.

I dare not speak nonsense

in front of the princess.

Who on earth

told you those words?

I've only heard rumors.

Po,

make sure that the matter will be thoroughly investigated.

Yes.

Privy Senator Han requests an audience.

Your Majesty, Your Highness.

Why did Privy Senator Han

come in such a hurry?

I'd like to see you, Your Majesty.

Bro Han, I'm sure

you've heard the rumors at the Palace.

I've ordered Po to look into it.

What are the rumors?

The princess and the prince are persecuted on groundless charges,

I will surely find out the truth

and bring the gossipers to justice.

I'm counting on you,

Mr. Han.

It is my duty.

I was...

Zhao Princess requests an audience.

I have nothing to report,

now that Zhao Princess is asking for an audience,

please excuse me.

Here you are, Wuguli.

Your majesty.

Your Highness.

Zhao Princess.

Please take a seat.

Are you all right, Your Majesty?

Diligu has already given some medication

and said it was a heart attack because of anxiety,

which will be fine after a rest.

Wasn't it said

that the spirit of Your Majesty

was much better?

How could you suddenly faint, Your Majesty?

Is there anything inconvenient to say

between two of us?

Let's not disturb the rest of His Majesty.

Why don't we take a walk?

You two haven't seen each other

for a while,

so it's time to have a talk. Just go ahead.

Let's go.

Come on.

The King of Yan Palace

Lady.

I'm a maidservant of the Queen,

and my name is Qingge.

I'd like to meet Privy Senator Han.

Lady, please wait for seconds, I'll go and report.

Madam, there's a lady from the Palace.

From the Palace?

Yes.

This time, it's the Queen's maidservant

whose name is Qingge.

She said the Queen had sent her

to bring some royal grant wine.

But His Excellency is not at home,

what should I tell her?

She is an emissary from the Palace,

and I have to deal with this.

Fang.

Lady Qingge.

Mrs. Han.

You're so kind, lady Qingge.

You are the Queen's maidservant,

how dare I accept your salute?

This is the wine

that the Queen had ordered me to present to Privy Senator Han

as a reward for his service to the country.

Since Mr. Han is not here,

please accept it for him.

Her Highness is so kind.

It's one of the Palace collections,

please make sure

that Privy Senator Han will savor it.

Sure.

I'm still needed by Her Highness,

so please excuse me.

Take care, Lady Qingge.

His Majesty was scandalized by rumors.

Is it the rumor about Hudujin?

Do you know that?

Not only do I know the rumor,

but I also know

where it came from.

Who did this?

Who else could it be?

It's the sick woman

in Han Derang's home.

She

was jealous that Han Derang has accessed to the Palace all the time,

then she thought

to release such a rumor

to end Han Derang's career,

so he could go back to Youzhou with her.

That's impossible.

Han Derang was just here,

and he didn't mention it at all.

He didn't mention it?

How could a man know

the thought of the wife.

Just think about it.

Who could be hurt

by such a rumor?

Could it hurt you?

Or could it hurt Hudujin?

Or could it hurt His Majesty?

No, not at all.

We all knew

you were pregnant with Hudujin

when you were in Shangjing City.

That was

before we went to Black Mountain.

So when this rumor came out,

it could

only affect Han Derang.

As a deputy,

he had been caught up in such gossip

again and again,

and it was not long before he had to ask to be a local official.

At the end of the day,

all of these

are just your guess.

Do you have a better one than mine?

Yanyan,

when it comes to national affairs,

I'm not as good as you and Hunian.

But speaking of the little thoughts of women,

I know better than you and Hunian.

But for now,

there's no evidence.

So Wuguli,

don't talk about it with anyone else.

Okay, fine. I will not talk about it.

Well, I'm leaving now.

Yanyan, I tell you what,

don't let such a shady woman

get you.

Liangge.

Go and get Han Derang back here.

Yes.

Si,

how come I've never seen

this wine set before?

It's a special gift

from the Queen

to reward your hard work.

Yun,

pour the master a glass of wine,

so as not to

disappoint others.

There you go again.

Childe.

Madam.

Childe.

The Queen has summoned

you to the palace as soon as possible.

Why has Her Highness summoned me right now?

Her Highness said it was important

and asked you to go to Imperial Study for a meeting.

I'm afraid there's something wrong

with His Majesty.

Xinning, go and get the horses ready.

Yes.

No.

You can't go.

Dear.

Have you forgotten that you promised

you would not come to the Palace again?

Si,

maybe

there's something really urgent at the Palace.

Dear.

You promised me

not to go to the Palace and be alone with the Queen.

If the Queen wants to see you,

she can always find something.

These excuses

can only fool yourself and her.

Si, I promise you

this will be the last time.

And when I get to the bottom of the rumors,

I'll...

There are rumors again, aren't there?

I warned you

to keep your distance from the Queen.

Why can't you just listen to me?

Now you're still determined to go to palace.

The rumors are out,

if I give in now,

it will satisfy the others.

I'm going to find out who's behind this.

Si,

can I explain when I get back?

Dear.

Si, please wait till I come back.

Dear.

Don't go, dear.

Dear.

I have received word

that the rumor

may have come from your wife.

It's impossible.

I've been married to her for years,

and I don't think

she would have done such a thing.

I know

you don't want to doubt your wife,

but perhaps,

she just made up this rumor

to embarrass me

and to make you withdraw from the Imperial Court

so that you can stay away from Shangjing City.

No, that's not who she is.

Madam.

Please don't crying.

Yun.

I'm really scared.

I'm so scared

that something might happen to Derang.

I'm too scared to rest,

and I can't sleep at night.

Madam.

Yun,

pour me a glass of wine, too.

Madam,

the doctor said

you're too weak

to drink.

Give it to me.

What are you afraid of?

Can I drink to die?

This royal drink from the Queen herself,

could he be the only one deserves it?

And I don't deserve it?

Madam, you must stop drinking.

Let it go, Yun.

Let go.

Li Si has been sick for years,

even if she had this idea,

she would not have been able to do so.

I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding.

Of course, I didn't say it must be her.

It's just one way to think about it.

Why don't you go home and ask her?

If it was really her,

I'll just have to

let it go.

Your Highness,

someone from Han's Mansion

said the Mrs. Han is dying.

Dying?

He said Mrs. Han drank poisoned wine and she's dying.

What?

Send the Imperial Physician to Han's Mansion.

Yes.

Shuanggu,

you just go, too.

Yes.

Your Excellency is back.

Your Excellency is back.

Your Excellency is back.

He's back.

Your Excellency is back.

Si.

Can you still hear me, Si?

Where did the poison come from?

The poisoned wine was sent

by Lady Qingge from the Palace.

Madam only had a few drinks

before she vomited a lot of blood,

and kept vomiting.

Your Excellency,

this wine was from the Palace,

it must be the Queen

who wanted to harm our Madam.

My poor Madam.

When you were caught in a scandal,

our Madam was determined to marry you,

but now,

it cost her life.

Your Excellency, you must get justice for Madam.

Si.

Si.

Please forgive me

for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a husband in this life.

Bro Han,

do you have to turn me away like this?

I don't care about the past,

I just want to spend the rest of my life

as a loving couple with you.

But I didn't realize

I had no place

in your heart.

I'm wasting

my own life and time,

and I am willing to do so.

Anyway, I've made up my mind

that no matter where you go,

I'll follow you.

In the future,

if you're out of use,

how could he let you live?

Childe.

The Queen has summoned you

to the palace as soon as possible.

Dear.

Si, please wait till I come back.

Dear.

Don't go, dear.

Dear.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Did you find her?

No.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

How's going?

Give an order to the household troops to search the whole city.

Shuanggu,

pass the word

to implement an arrest warrant for Qingge.

And there will be rewards,

no matter she is dead or alive.

Yes.

Your Highness,

no matter she is dead or alive?

Could she...

The King of Yan Palace

Derang,

Si's mother is ill.

If you don't take care of yourself

and something happens,

your mother and I

will have the tragedy of losing young loved ones.

Father.

I didn't fulfilling my responsibilities as a husband.

When Si was alive,

I've been busy with national affairs.

I had planned to take her back to Youzhou

when the government was stable.

Si wouldn't have gone

if I hadn't insisted on going back to Shangjing that day.

In any case,

she died because of me.

What's that supposed to mean?

Do you think

it's the Queen

had her poisoned?

Your Excellency,

Madam,

the Queen's carriage

is at the gate

and it's about to come in.

Here comes Her Highness.

How could

the Queen come right now?

Your Highness.

I've come to offer my condolences.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Please accept my condolences, Privy Senator Han.

Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.

I'd like to

speak to Privy Senator Han alone.

You just leave.

Yes.

Let's go.

I didn't send the poisoned wine.

You don't have to say much, Your Highness.

Si wouldn't have gone

if I hadn't insisted on going back to Shangjing that day.

Now,

Si has passed away,

just let her rest in peace.
