I forced Yu Shu to her death

I shall kill myself in front of you now
To repay you for what I did to both of you.
and also putting an end to our grudges
-Mother, no! -Yin-er, stop talking

I don't believe you
I don't believe that you could give up your riches
and sacrifices your life
why ? what do you want?
you may not believe that Lu Zhi will do this
but you should believe
Believe a mother
A mother
can do this kind of sacrifices
I can promise you
but you must do it now
Ok

Mother, I don't want you to die
I rather that i don't escape
Yin-er, be good don't cry
you are so weak and soft-hearted how could you become an emperor
I don't want to be the emperor
I only want my mother
I shall get the guards here to chase Uncle away
Yin-er
Yin-er wake up
don't scare me what do you want?
come after me don't touch him
I hope you will keep your promise
it didn't occur to you
that till today, I'm still wearing this golden dress
originally, I wanted to wear it
and marry my beloved
but today, I'm wearing it
to kill myself in front of you
Xiao Chuan I have done a lot of bad things
but I'm true to you
I'm a Lady
but I'm only a love-struck woman
This is the first time I'm watching someone die in front of me slowly.
She's killed by me
No, she isn't killed by me
she did evil things
she should pay for her deeds
what's the matter, quick come
What is going on?
I don't know what is going on either
Only
both of them
were in my yard and wanted to kill me.
Luckily you are here and can save me.
You must help me and protect me, Lord.
How dare you tried to kill King Xiang's hostage
its you, General
I'm sorry
- Captain Tian. - It's me.
3 years ago Ever since General disappeared
I joined Chu army
now, I'm working for King Xiang
you were missing for so many years
why did you appear here and dressed like this
this is because of Lu Zhi
I came here today to kill her.
General, I'm ordered by King Xiang
to claim Liu Bang's family
and take them to Guang Wu
this affect the results of the war
that's why Lu Zhi cannot die
I've military order now
please allow me
Fine
For Brother Xiang
and spare her life today
Many thanks General
General, since you were missing
King Xiang misses you everyday
and was searching for you
why not follow me
to Guang Wu and set his mind to rest.
alright
I also really want to see him
lets go together to Guang Wu
someone, take her away
Yes, yes
wait
please
Mother
Is your head ok?
My head is still a little dizzy
ah... right... uncle
how is my mother now
she is in the horse carriage behind
you better stay still
its better for both of you
hold this sword for me
If other people ask
you are my disciple
Understand?
King, our land has always been disturbed
and our army food ration cannot be delivered
I'm also worried about this
that's why I thought that
its better to end the war at East-West border quickly
Your Majesty, the family of Liu Bang is here.
King, since they are here
we can act according to plan
but I don't want to threaten him with his family
its the doing of a knave
not what a hero should do
King, to use the enemy's family as hostage
it has always been practiced
its not considered a knave's doing
now, Chu and Han army is at the border
for months the years of war
has taken the toil on our solider
their heart is not with them
to use the enemy's family and force Liu Bang
its a great deed
its the work of a real man
why be bothered
Don't say anymore
your majesty
one of your old friend is here
Old friend?
send him in
Brother Yu
Xiao Chuan
Xiao Chuan!
Why have you become like this?
Where have you been these years?
We were looking hard for you but without any clue.
You've come back!
We shall have a good drink today.
Your Majesty, we still have lots of urgent work to do.
We have not met for years. We'll drink to your heart's content.
What else is more important?
Yes, Your Majesty.
The General is right. You should take care of your work.
Xiao Chuan, I'm the West Conqueror King and I'm in charge.
Others shall not intervene.
We must have a good drink today.
- Server, bring some wine -Yes.
Great, today we shall drink till drunk.
Today I'm so happy.
If you drink 1 cup, I shall take 3 cups.
Why are you so happy today?
If we drink the wine heartily,
we will feel happy.
Well said.
Come.
Xiao Yue!
Brother, Sister-in-law,
please take my bow.
When did Xiao Yue become sister-in-law?
We shall do away with these formalities.
Come, drink wine.
General, I shall welcome you with this wine.
Thank you.
That's great.
Brother,
You should say cool!
Have you forgotten what you taught me?
Cool!
Why do you look so messy?
Looking like this, I almost couldn't recognize you.
Don't mention it.
I can't even recognize myself anymore.
Don't mention it.
Xiao Yue, are you living well?
To stay with King Xiang every day,
really is a happy life.
I'm envious of you.
I'm so envious.
Brother Yu, you can give your loved one happiness.
Xiao Yue, you can be by your loved one's side every day.
But me?
I have nothing anymore.
I know she is there
but I can't see her and touch her.
Brother Yu, now you have Lady Yu
and your empire.
I wish you well.
Brother,
I'm only mindful of Lady Yu
for now.
Yes, I used to have the world, but so what?
Those dukes follow Chu when we are strong and Han when they are strong.
Today they may work for me, tomorrow betray me.
It's tiring to prevent their schemes.
Only Lady Yu is true to me
and never left me.
Only when I'm with you,
do I feel relaxed and happy.
Good Brother, we shall drink more today.
Come.
Both of you have finally reunited again after these years.
We should drink.
Today, there's no entertainment.
Lady Yu shall dance with the sword for both of you.
Great!
Strength surpassing mountains.
Unrivaled energy.
The time is not ripe for passing.
If that is so, what can one do?
Worrying, worrying, how does that help?
Good!
Good Brother, what do you think?
I have something to tell you.
What else is more important than our gathering?
Drink.
This is important.
You must listen to me.
In the future, Liu Bang will win the world.
You must plan ahead
or else, you and Xiao Yue will die.
Brother,
you said that Liu Bang will get the world.
That despicable knave wants to vie with me?
I think you are drunk.
Big Brother, I'm serious.
Xiao Yue, you must believe me,
or else your lives will be in danger.
Don't say anymore!
Liu Bang may have an advantage now.
If I react now and settle my wars,
he is not my match.
We shall see
whose life is in danger.
King.
That Xiang Yu has always been arrogant.
But, he's just a man with muscle and no brains.
I received some news.
Peng Yue is behind him now
He lacks food.
It's time that he perishes.
Heaven is helping Great Han.
King Han is benevolent and shall gain the world.
Come, come, come.
Let us, the monarch and his subjects, all drink together.
Come.
Great King.
Go ahead and leave first.
To all distinguished lords,
today, the Great King is unable to cope with wine.
Let us not disturb the Great King any further.
My Lords, please return.
Yes.
When did it happen?
Great King, you are not drunk?
Great King, according to the news,
your family will be arriving in Guang Wu today.
Becoming a monarch has made me all alone.
Xiang Yu is a hot-tempered person.
My family is in his hands.
If anything happens, I will really become a loner!
This Xiang Yu, has placed your family under house arrest for 2 years already.
But today, they're being taken by the army.
I think, this proves he's threatening you.
My wife and son are in Xiang Yu's hands.
If anything happens, how can I face my ancestors?
But if this world unites under one,
What's the best way?
Great King,
This, for the sake of the world, you need to think carefully.
That I know, I know.
For the time being, do not spread this matter.
so it doesn't waver the hearts of my troops.
Yes.
Who are you?
I am Master's disciple.
Your master is drunk. Quickly help me.
Yes.
Come.
OK.
Your mast is full of anxiety.
Today he drank heartily, just so he could get drunk.
and not in the least bit for joyousness.
You must take care of him well.
Master, quickly get up.
I've prepared water for you. Wash your face.
Lu Zhi,
it's you who made me become like this.
It's you who drove Yu Shu into the mausoleum.
It's you who caused us not to be able to see each other forever.
It's all because of you!
Why?
Why didn't I kill you?
Why was my heart weak?
Lu Zhi, you caused us to be horrible miserable.
Very miserable!
If I see you again,
I will kill you.
I must revenge for Yu Shu. Revenge!
Lu Zhi,
you can't run.
I saved you. I do you want to kill me?
Because... Because you want to hurt my mother.
Uncle, Ying Er pleads with you.
Please let my mother off.
You are a child.
You don't understand this kind of feeling.
No! Ying Er understands.
In this world, Mother treats me the best. She is the one I love most.
If you dare to hurt my mother, I definitely won't let you go.
What am I doing?
I front of him, I forced his mother to die.
Compared to what Lu Zhi did to Yu Shu, what's the difference?
When will this vicious cycle of revenge end?
If I remove the thorn in my heart,
this child will forever be an orphan.
Then I ask you,
if we don't think about the grudges between me and your mother,
what about your attempt to kill me just now?
I hurt your arm.
I shall return an arm to you.
You're no scared?
I'm scared.
But I already promised my mother, no matter what I must live on.
An arm in exchange for a life is worth it.
Fine.
Pick it up.
Wrap the wound for me.
Yes.
You don't want my arm anymore?
If I had taken you arm,
would you be able to heal my wound?
Not only will it not heal it,
it can let you hurt forever.
If I killed your mother, my Yu Shu wouldn't be returned.
Both of us will hurt forever.
Child
you are very brave.
You are Liu Bang's eldest son.
In future, he will give the Emperor's position to you.
You will become the emperor of the country.
I don't want to be The Emperor.
I just want Uncle to let my mother go.
One day, you will become king.
So right now, that's why I cannot bury hate in your heart.
I hope you can be kind and rule the world with a big heart.
You must know how to be benevolent
and understand the people.
Only with the people's support will you not repeat Tyrant Qin's mistakes.
It's the right way to rule.
I thank you for your teaching. From now on you are my master.
I shall follow your teachings.
You are a good student.
You must remember, this sword in your hand
is to kill people or save people.
It's your decision.
Since you taught me to be benevolent to people,
then why do you hold grudges against my mother?
Didn't I already promise you?
But you must promise me,
in future, you must be kind to your people.
Then I'll let your mother go.
Liu Ying thanks teacher.
I will follow your teaching and love my people.
A real man must always keep his promise.
I understand, a real man's promise must be honoured.
Brother
Brother, how have you been lately?
Look at who I brought to you.
Ying Er!
Aiyah, my Brother.
You were missing for 3 years.
I really missed you.
Now you are back and even brought Ying Er to me.
I'm really grateful to you.
Come, I shall offer you a drink.
Brother, you don't know my family is stuck in the Chu camp.
If you didn't bring Ying Er back, I'd really be without a descendant.
I have everything I want now. I'm the Central Han King.
Brother, speak. What do you want?
Just say anything.
I want brother to make Liu Ying the crown prince.
Brother, what did you say?
All this time Brother has been talking about ruling with benevolence and filial piety.
Ying Er has been clever since young.
I've been with him these past day. I think he is knowledgeable and pure at heart.
He will be a kind ruler in future.
That's also what you wished for.
He is your eldest son.
Making him the crown prince is legitimate and normal.
Brother, what you say is right.
But, the war is not over.
My family is still in the Chu camp.
I don't have the heart to crown a prince.
There's a saying, "If one did not think far one will have more worries."
When brother gets the world, you will still need a crown prince.
If one did not think far, one will have more worries.
That's well said, very well said.
Gao Yao, prepare the edict.
I want to make Ying Er the crown prince.
In the year 203, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang made a peace pact with the Hong River as the border.
The west became Han and the east became Chu.
Brother Yu, you will go tomorrw.
I specially prepared this farewell meal.
Brother, I have a favour to ask of you.
Please take Liu Bang's family back.
Alright, I will.
After 3 years, we just reunited. Now we'll separate again.
I cannot bear to go.
If you are free, do come to Peng City to visit.
Only when I'm drinking with you, will I be happy drinking.
Definitely.
Come.
Brother, all along I have something to tell you.
But I don't know if I should say it.
Why are you hesitating?
If you are my good brother, speak.
Fine.
Now the world is in peace.
I hope you and Xiao Yue
can find a quiet place.
Quietly and happily, enjoy a peaceful life together with Xiao YUe.
Quietly?
Brother, if one cannot be imposing,
I wouldn't be Xiang Yu.
But Big Brother, have you thought
that one day...
...that one day you may be killed?
If one is fearful of death,
why should we start a revolt?
Brother, in this world
who can be king in front of me?
Within the 9 continents, who can kill me, the West Conqueror King?
I offer you a drink.
Come.
This war, must you fight it?
Why did you say that?
The Chu and Han just made a peace pact.
Don't lie to me.
Now, all the armory in Han are busy making weapons.
The army delivering food rations are also in abundance.
If all these works are not part of your war preparation, you don't need to stockpile weapons and food.
