Hao men ye yan Page #4

Is there enough time to play?

It is still early

I have a headache

Lord Chamberlain

Present

Send for the Imperial Physician at once

Yes, Your Majesty

There is no need

I just need to rest for a while

Let me

Your Majesty

Don't move

Look at you

An Empress

Mother to a nation

And you still kick off your blankets

when you sleep

Did you catch cold last night?

Your Majesty

How long have we been together?

Why do you ask?

Including today

it would be one hundred days exactly

You have been counting

But to me

it feels like less than a single day

One hundred days, but

I have never surrendered all of myself before

Even if you are a piece of ice

you will eventually melt in my mouth

What if the ice

turns into fire?

A globe of fire in your mouth

Then I shall swallow it

and it will warm my heart

Do it now

Swallow it now

What did she say?

The Empress said that

her mind was made up

the moment the Prince

was sent away as hostage

The Emperor is fickle and suspicious

She may be his favorite now

but sooner or later

he will turn his attention elsewhere

Rather than wait to be discarded

she has decided to take the risk

and strike first

She wants to rule herself?

Exactly

Once she has succeeded

she intends to denounce the Emperor

as a fratricide and usurper

She will say that she is carrying out

heavenly justice

on behalf of the late Emperor

She wants us to rally

and support her claim to the throne

This woman

Ah, this woman

Father

whose side should we take?

We have no choice,

she has planned everything perfectly

First, your sister is in her hands

Secondly, when she asked you

to save the Prince

it was not for personal reasons alone

It was to turn us into her accomplices

so that we have nowhere to stand except

by her side

She knows that we have no option now

If this woman succeeds

we must denounce her straight away

as a traitor and an assassin

The person who deserves to ascend

the throne is not her

but you

Father

Are you afraid?

No

If Heaven bestows this gift upon me

to refuse would be

to disobey the gods

Ling

prepare the carriage

To the Minister of Law

Minister Yin and his son, Yin Sun

are guilty of the following crimes:

Deceit of the Emperor and tyranny

over the court

misuse of power and collusion of the enemy

They will be stripped of their titles

and exiled to the South

All their property will be confiscated

and deposited in the national reserve

By command of the Emperor

General Yin

General Yin

My Lord Chamberlain

Present

I wish to say a few words

Yes, Your Majesty

Pour the wine

Yes, Your Majesty the Empress

Our ancestors used to roam the palace

with candles by night

but our most gracious Emperor

throws brilliant banquets for his courtiers

His hospitality surpasses all

who came before him

It is my privilege

to thank His Majesty with this toast

Also

tonight

I am going to take Your Majesty's life

Excellent

Esteemed courtiers

Let us drink together

To His Majesty

Your servant Qing and my dancers

beg permission to entertain Your Majesties

with a performance

Minister Yin

Your Majesty

Did you organize this surprise for me?

Your Majesty

this is Qing's own idea

My father knows nothing about it

Good

What have you prepared for us?

A song from Yue

This sounds familiar

It was the Crown Prince's favorite song

To commemorate him

I want him to know

that even if the whole world abandons him

I shall never do so

and my love for him will never die

This is very touching

Grant her some wine

Yes, Your Majesty

Take my cup

let me join you in remembering

the departed spirit of my dear nephew

Such an honor is too great for Wu Luan

Let us fetch another cup

Lord Chamberlain

Present

There is no need

Thank you, My Lord

But I do not know how to drink

You must not refuse His Majesty's gracious gift

Then I shall have a little sip

Sister

What blessed night is this?

Drifting down the river Qian

What auspicious day is this?

Dreaming beside my Prince

Too bashful to stare

A secret I cannot share

My heart fills with longing

to know you, dear Prince

Trees live on mountains

and branches live on trees

My heart lives for your heart

but you do not see me

You do not see me

Qing

Wu Luan

It's me

It's me

The moment the song started

I could feel you near me

My dearest Qing

Your Highness

do you still feel lonely?

With you

I shall never be lonely again

Your brother loves you

No one can harm you

You poisoned the wine?

Yes

You wanted me to die?

Yes

And all along I thought I was warming

your heart

It has been heated to the point of burning

Lord Chamberlain

Present

Carry out this edict:

Qing is to be given a lavish state burial

Minister Yin

What are you waiting for?

You...

venomous woman

Where are the Imperial Guards?

Imperial Guards

Protect the Emperor

Anyone who stands in my way will perish

This man

murdered my father like a coward

This is a matter

between the two of us

It is nobody else's concern

I don't want to kill the innocent

Out of my way

Such majestic demeanor

as befits a nephew of mine

I knew that if you were alive

this day would come sooner or later

And here you are

Was it the desire for revenge

that hauled you out of the valley of death?

Or was it your melancholy

that touched the hearts of women

so that their tenderness

wove a web of protection around you?

Or perhaps

a million calculations cannot compare

with one pure heart?

Or maybe it is you

my brother

who has been protecting your son all along

so that he can spill my blood

and restore your honor?

If this is what you want

Brother

then let me appease you tonight

You offered me a toast

How can I refuse?

The Emperor is dead

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Do with me what you will

Please do not lay this sinful title on me

Would killing you

bring Qing back to life?

The blade is poisoned

Wu Luan

It is nothing

You are going to be fine

He was lying

There is no poison

The blade is not poisoned

Wu Luan

Imperial Physician

Lord Chamberlain

Ling, where are you?

Wu Luan

Where is everybody?

Little Wan...

Little Wan...

Little Wan is here...

Your Little Wan is here

Look at me, look at me

Your Little Wan is here...

Little Wan is here

It is so good

to be able to die

You cannot die

You must not die

Wu Luan

May your majesty live ten thousand times

ten thousand years

Long live

Long live

Long live Your Majesty

Minister Yin conspired to usurp the Throne

By law, he should be executed

But considering his service

to three successive emperors

he will only be exiled to the far North

and never to return

By command of the Empress

Little Wan

When was it that I started to forget my name?

Perhaps it was the day your father married me

You left

and nobody used my name anymore

Gradually even I forgot what it was

Then your uncle married me

and again I was called the Empress

But from now on

nobody will call me Empress anymore

Instead, they will call me
