Sacrifice Page #2

Synopsis: Sacrifice (Orphan of Zhao Family): To save the only child of the Zhao Family, whose whole clan is massacred at the hands of a nefarious minister, a doctor sacrifices his own son, and later becomes intent on seeking vengeance against the minister after the child grows up. For generations, the Zhao family has wielded power, even extending over the king. In a well-planned coup, their mortal enemy TU'AN GU (Wang Xue Qi) slaughters the entire clan, determined to wipe out their influence forever. However, a solitary Zhao baby survives the massacre, and is hidden and taken home by CHENG YING (Ge You), the doctor who delivered him, to live with his WIFE (Hai Qing) and their own newborn baby. Set on revenge, and raising the Zhao child as his own, Cheng Ying bides his time, enrolling himself and the Zhao orphan (whom he calls Cheng Bo) into the service of the Tu'an Gu household. Tu' an Gu grows very fond of Cheng Bo and makes Cheng Bo his godson, unaware that Cheng Ying has been plotting to use

you're a father at last.

If... your son had lived...

you'd be a granddad by now.

Let's drink!

We want the red one.

Two,

she says stop giving out eggs.

M'Lady, can you guess why she

won't let me do this?

Your wife is Surely thinking...

that you're a famous doctor.

A bit more reserve is called for.

Hardly.

She just hates giving away so

many eggs!

Arrest Zhao Shuo!

The first tribute.

No one else may drink from

the king's wine.

The wine's poisoned.

M'Lord!

What?

Kill Zhao Dun! Exterminate

his whole clan!

Sir!

Your sword.

Move or I'll kill you.

Go! Run!

My wife asks you to give

our child a name.

Now, avoid drafts and stay calm.

A late birth is good.

It heralds nobility.

Mine was born prematurely.

Not a good omen.

Your Surname is Cheng.

Call him 'Bo'.

Cheng Bo...

vigorous and lofty.

Thank you, M'Lady.

Arrest Zhao Dun.

Grand Councillor, hurry!

Hurry!

Hold on.

Someone sawed the axle in two.

M'Lady, the Grand Councillor

has been murdered!

And the rest of the Zhao's?

M'Lady!

M'Lady!

There are soldiers everywhere. I

nearly walked straight into them.

Don't worry.

There's a way out. I'll go with you.

Husband!

Husband!

Husband!

He's still breathing.

What? What are you saying?

Is the baby here yet?

It's coming.

Flee.

Hurry. Escape.

Husband!

Husband!

Cheng Ying...

help deliver my baby!

This lists all the Zhaos.

Please check it, Sir.

You know Sir Gong Sun's home?

Yes.

Good. Do this for me.

Take the secret passage.

Give the boy to Sir Gong Sun.

If there's a way out,

why don't you come too?

We'll go together.

You'll only be safe if I stay.

Hurry.

If something went wrong, what then?

How is M'Lady?

The doctor has just seen me.

I'm not due for a few days.

You can go now, doctor.

Doctor,

you forgot your medicine basket.

Take the secret passage.

I'll see him out.

You won't get out with the child.

He will if you don't stop him, Han Jue.

I won't stop him, M'Lady.

But he must give me the child.

I'm under orders to take the child.

Cheng Ying, listen to me.

When this child grows up...

don't tell him who his parents were...

or his enemies.

Forget revenge.

Let him live an ordinary life.

Keep following me and I'll kill him.

It's not that I don't want to

give him to you.

But if I do,

I'm dead.

General...

If I died now, looking pregnant,

couldn't you tell Sir Tu'an...

that when you came I still

hadn't given birth?

That he died with his mother?

If Tu'an discovers...

I deceived you. It's not your fault.

You'll have saved the last of the Zhaos.

Cheng Ying,

I give my son to you.

M'Lady!

When I got there, she was dead.

The child wasn't yet born.

Idiot!

Give the king and his sister
