[Episode 29]

I wasn't sure if I should agree.

I asked Marquis Lanyue, and he asked me to get your opinion.

Who does he want you to treat?

According to him, it's a blind patient.

When he was young, he ate a snack he got from someone.

He lost his sight after that.

It's been 20 years. I'm not sure if it can be cured.

Are you able to cure it?

If he hasn't gone blind for long, I could remove the toxin with acupuncture.

But he's been blind for 20 years.

Maybe he'll need to get a new pair of eyes.

Wait. Divine Healer, are you kidding?

A new pair of eyes?

Just one word, yes or no.

You're the healer.

Saving lives is your duty.

Besides, this guy is very rich.

He can afford the medical fee for sure.

So yes, you can treat him.

Xiao Se.

But remember to say that it was I who asked you to treat him.

You're good-looking. But you're not very smart.

You came to Snowfall Villa at night.

- Yet, you wore an all-white outfit. - Vermilion Bird?

You, Dark River, like to give yourselves code names and call others' code names?

I'm White Tiger.

White Tiger?

This name doesn't sound...

Wait.

You're White Tiger?

What are you two doing?

Qianluo, stop.

Why didn't you ask her to stop first?

Well, Ji Xue, stop.

Are you giving me an order?

Both of you are very childish.

You're either surrounded by a silly kid like Lei Wujie or an impulsive young lady like this.

Xiao Chuhe, is there no other ordinary guardian around you?

You could've come in through the front gate.

Why must you sneak in here? You can't blame anyone for this.

Come in through the front gate?

Do you know how many people in Tianqi City are having their eyes on this gate?

As long as the misunderstanding is cleared up.

You must be the daughter of Baixiao Sect's head, Ji Ruofeng.

Finally, there's someone smart here.

Since you have a guest, we should leave first.

Her presence resembles that of an elegant soaring swan.

Gracefully, she moves like a dragon in flight.

Prettier than the autumn chrysanthemum. More vigorous than the pine in spring.

Mysterious as the moon covered by clouds.

Extraordinary as snow whirled by the driving wind.

What are you murmuring?

Miss, I'm the apprentice of Divine Healer Hua Jin, Mu Chunfeng.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I know.

I didn't know I was so famous.

But I don't know who you are.

Ji Xue.

I'm 21 years old.

How old are you? Are you married?

- I'm still single. - See you around.

You should've inquired about her beforehand.

Qianluo.

Are those two close to each other?

It feels like she has an affinity for Xiao Se when she talks to him.

They've known each other since childhood.

Ji Xue's father is Xiao Se's master.

He is the closest person to Xiao Se in this world.

He's even closer to him than His Majesty is.

That's why it's different.

But he does act differently around you.

Does he?

Chunfeng, we should get going.

Master, let's stay a little longer.

Mr. Mu, is this Miss Ji Xue really that pretty?

Among the women in the world, I've never seen someone refined like her.

Her smile stands out among other ladies as if there's nothing.

Nothing?

Nothing.

- Let's go. - Master, let's stay a little longer.

Just go.

How's the investigation going?

I've found the person you asked me to look for.

Where is he?

He's hiding in plain sight.

[Ye Anshi is here in the guest room of Tianqi City's inn.]

[Hongfu Inn]

Long time no see, Mr. Xiao.

You already knew that I'd come.

Baixiao Sect has been looking for me everywhere.

I can see that they're exhausted.

So I developed compassion and deliberately went downstairs to buy a vegetable bun.

This inn is a long street away from my Snowfall Villa.

Since you knew I sent someone for you, why didn't you come over sooner?

I'd like to try your royal banquet that contained 15 appetizers.

I'd also like to see how commanding and majestic you were at Qianjin Gambling House.

Unfortunately, you hadn't entered the city before I went on the retreat.

You had already left when I finished the retreat.

Retreat?

Were you injured?

Yes.

I nearly became a cripple.

Who did that to you?

Director Jinxuan.

What's wrong?

Every time when you're in danger, I'll be there and save you.

But when I was in danger, you didn't show up.

So you feel guilty and want to avenge me?

You were injured by Jinxuan because you entered the palace.

So I was right.

You came to Tianqi for Consort Xuan.

You've changed, Mr. Xiao.

You've become straightforward.

You knew that I didn't want to talk about this.

You should've pretended not to know it.

You shouldn't have underestimated those skilled fighters in the palace, especially the Five Eunuchs.

None of them is easy to deal with.

And there are many Imperial Swordsmen.

Even I have never met them before.

I understand. I'll be careful next time.

Next time?

Wuxin,

as you're eager to see Consort Xuan,

are you trying to ask her questions or get her out of there?

Will she leave with me?

She lives an extravagant life in the palace.

Unlike Tianwaitian, it's actually an infertile land.

Your Highness, it's getting late.

It's time to get rest.

Your Highness.

Why did Yu suddenly

mention Shi'er today?

Did he have news from Shi'er?

Maybe it was just an innocent question.

Don't mind it, Your Highness.

Right.

It's been years.

Maybe Shi'er has already forgotten about me, his unfit mother.

What right do I have to see him again?

Actually, Consort Xuan is not what you thought she was.

She's an outcast in the palace.

She never attends any party,

and she doesn't interact with the people in the palace.

I remember when I was a kid,

I once barged into her courtyard.

She gave me a piece of pastry and enjoyed the sky view with me all afternoon.

All afternoon?

She said it'd be nice if she could become a bird.

So that she could fly,

fly over the walls,

fly over the mountains,

and even fly to the farthest South.

South?

I didn't understand it when I was little.

I left after staying there all afternoon.

Until Uncle Langya told me about her story.

It made me wonder if the place Consort Xuan wanted to go

was the hut outside Gusu City.

After all, she and Ye Dingzhi have stayed there for a long time.

Also, it was where they gave birth to you.

You're saying that she actually has no choice?

I'm saying that this is your hardship.

You must take good care of yourself.

Everything I said is what I saw.

Forget it.

Actually, I also don't know why I want to see her.

Maybe I'm just wondering how she's doing now.

I'd like to ask her if she remembers that I'm her son.

Or maybe I just want to see her one last time

before I go back.

Then, she can stay in Beili as Consort Xuan.

I'll return to Tianwaitian and be the Young Head.

I can't believe there's something you don't know.

Everyone has their own worries.

If you just want to see Consort Xuan, maybe I can help you.

Or else, no one in Tianqi City can help you.

As expected, you care for me.

I just want you to solve your problems sooner.

And don't get me in trouble.

You speak with forked tongue.

These are the fragrances I collected from everywhere.

Feel free to take them if you like.

Sixth Prince, why are you being so generous?

I'm flustered.

Just get to the point.

Okay.

Eunuch, whose side are you on in the current Tianqi City?

Must I pick a side?

In this war, only the winning side can survive.

It's impossible to stay neutral in this matter.

Your Highness, you must be well aware that no matter whose side we're on,

if His Majesty dies, the Five Eunuchs will have to guard the mausoleum.

Are you willing to do it?

To me, it doesn't make any difference.

Even now,

all I do is just chant, pray, and blend fragrances.

The Blizzard Sword, Shen Jingzhou, I know is not like this.

He used to yearn for the martial arts world.

Though I can't go around the world, it's more liberal than staying in Tianqi City.

Eunuch Jade Deity, I won't beat around the bush.

I can assure you that you can go anywhere you like after leaving Tianqi City.

In the name of Lord Yong'an?

It's in the name of Xiao Se.

As long as you believe that I can do it.

Why me?

When you entered the martial arts world, you claimed yourself as Blizzard Sword.

Your integrity showed when you swung your sword.

I believe in my judgment.

Please have faith in me and give me a helping hand.

Every time I walk in here, this is the sound I hate to hear the most.

This means that you're conscious

and with my footsteps, you can figure out who I am.

You really are a strong woman.

Just like your pretty face.

I couldn't forget about it ever since the first time I met you.

I won't let you have your way.

Do you know how I convinced Minghou to be the drug tester?

I told him if he resisted, you'd forever be locked in here.

With the stinky smell of blood, the bodies of rats,

and the insects' bites, your body will slowly rot.

You vile man!

No. You've misunderstood me.

I was just helping him.

Minghou won't listen to you.

You're wrong. You've misunderstood me.

But he got a low adaptive capacity.

We were only halfway there.

Unlike you,

you're way better than him.

Yueji, you were born to be a killer.

But a killer can't have a heart!

I've found a perfect weapon.

Soon, he'll become just like you.

Yueji, there's not much time left for you.

[Tongming Gate]

Wait.

Why are all of you entering the palace?

Eunuch Jade Deity wants to hold a Fragrance Ceremony for His Majesty.

These eunuchs will burn incense for each palace.

An assassin sneaked into the palace several days ago.

Those who enter the palace must undergo body searches.

How dare you!

Lingjun.

Eunuch.

This is His Majesty's decree.

Just let them check it.

- Thank you, Eunuch. - Yes.

Wait.

Director.

Why are you here so early today?

Old people need less sleep.

Sometimes, I can't sleep.

So I get up and walk around.

So that His Majesty can sleep peacefully.

Are they your new apprentices?

Yes.

They don't look familiar.

They just entered Hongqing Temple this year.

I think they're young but smart and agile.

They won't neglect their masters of each palace.

Is there any problem, Director?

With you in charge, I'm at ease.

Go on.

Let's go.

Go to the palace you're assigned to.

Remember to be careful.

No mistake is allowed.

- Noted. - Noted.

Consort Xuan's Jingtai Palace is at the northwest corner.

Thank you, Eunuch Jade Deity.

The palace gate will be closed at the hour of Xu. (*Between 7 PM and 9 PM)

- Leave before that. - Understood.

Also, remember that it's me who brings you here.

Do not do illegal things here.

Otherwise, I'll bring you to His Majesty.

I understand.

You're so naggy, it's annoying.

I don't know if I'm helping him

or getting him killed.

[Tai'an Hall]

Your Highnesses, please go back.

His Majesty is not feeling well.

When His Majesty wants to see you, he'll ask me to inform you.

We just want to see our father. I can't believe it'd be this hard.

Please mind your words, Your Highness.

I'll excuse myself first.

If Father wants to see us, please let us know, Captain Li.

No problem, Your Highness.

Her Highness always burns incense and chants here.

Get ready. I'll ask Her Highness over.

Thank you.

Your Highness set up this prayer hall to eliminate karma

and accumulate good fortune for the person on the tablet?

How dare you!

Who allows you to ask this?

You're right.

You should put down the prayer beads and walk out of this hall.

Your Highness, this eunuch is getting outrageous.

Never mind.

Let him finish.

It's easy to chant.

The difficult part is to focus.

Staying focused is not as hard as forgoing the desire for love.

Your Highness is confused.

Why make things difficult for yourself?

You should let go of it sooner.

How do you know that I'm confused?

I knew it as soon as I entered the courtyard.

Was it because of the fallen leaves?

It was me who asked them not to clean it.

Leaf litter is a natural phenomenon.

It's unnecessary to dispose of them.

But why do you make this payer hall spotlessly clean?

What's the difference between the fallen leaves and the dirt?

What's your name?

Wuxin.

Wuxin?

Lift up your head.

Let me have a good look at you.

Your eyes look familiar.

It seems like fate brings us together.

You said your name is Wuxin.

Who gave you that name?

My master did.

Master said one is clear-minded, selfless, and won't go astray

without a heart.

One will be free without a heart.

I guess you've got a good master.

He is the best master in the world.

Your Highness, Lord Chi is here to greet you.

You wait here.

Yes.

Mother.

Why are you here so early?

I made you upset that day.

I felt sorry when I went back.

After greeting Father today, I rushed over to see you.

I know you don't like Eight Treasures Tea.

I asked someone to bring new tea leaves over from the outside.

You can try it. See if it fits your taste.

- I... - Go brew it.

Who is he?

He's a eunuch from Hongqing Temple. He's here to burn incense for your father.

He came here early in the morning.

The figure of this eunuch looks familiar.

You've seen many people.

Maybe they just look alike.

You're right.

Go clean up the prayer hall.

Yes.

Please, Mother.

The color looks nice.

I guess it'll taste good.

It's nice.

Does Lord Chi always come to visit Consort Xuan?

He only came here often the past two days.

Sometimes, he didn't show up for two weeks.

Has Consort Xuan always been alone like this?

She wasn't alone at first.

Back then, His Majesty always came to visit her.

She was frequently rewarded.

Then, something happened.

And His Majesty never came again.

She got no further reward.

Over time, others have stopped coming too.

Consort Xuan doesn't like to make trouble for others.

As they didn't come, she refused to go out.

I haven't seen her talking so much with someone else for years.

Father has been troubled by a matter lately.

Do you want to know what it is?

I'm not interested in something that doesn't concern me.

What if it is about your other son?

Why do you mention him again?

Don't do anything rash.

I didn't say anything.

Why did you scold me?

I just want to remind you that you can play any trick you like to get what you want.

But there's someone that you can't lay a hand on.

Play any trick I like?

Mother, if it wasn't for the trouble you made out there,

why would I have to play tricks?

You used to be Father's favorite consort.

I was Father's favorite son.

I could've gotten everything I want.

If it wasn't for you and Ye Dingzhi, I wouldn't have ended up like this.

Over the years, I've been ridiculed, left out, and mocked.

What about you? You lived in isolation.

What would you know?

But judging from your look,

it seems like you're still deeply in love with Ye Dingzhi.

Even his son is more important than me.

Well, I'll wait and see what will happen to you two.

Your Highness, do you want to go back and get some rest?

You must've heard about my story outside the palace.

It's all an urban legend.

I won't take it seriously.

Take a seat.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Tell me about it.

Your Highness

was married to His Majesty when he was still Lord Jingyu.

Then, you were set up and abducted by Ye Dingzhi, the Head of Demon Sect.

In the end, Demon Sect lost and you successfully escaped.

Then you got rescued and returned to the palace.

Pretty much what I'd expect.

It has protected his reputation as the Emperor.

Isn't this the fact?

Are you curious?

If you knew it, it might get you killed.

Everything I heard here at Jingtai Palace will stay here for sure.

In fact,

the rumor out there is mostly true.

Except for one thing.

I left with Ye Dingzhi of my own free will.

We only parted as we were set up by the bad guys.

They lied to me that Yu'er was severely ill.

They got me back to Tianqi City

and made Ye Dingzhi think that I abandoned him for an extravagant life.

Before he died, I finally got to see him.

I told him that we should escape to Nanjue

and get away from the disputes.

He said he did a lot of wrong things.

He couldn't leave just like that.

Only his death can protect his peers.

In the end,

he committed suicide.

So, what you wanted to say to him in the end was to leave with him?

But it was too late.

The wrong step I took was the reason that everything happened.

Then, why did you return to the palace?

I've got two kids.

One of them was trapped in the palace.

I couldn't leave him behind.

So you gave up on the other one.

Xiao Ruojin wouldn't make things difficult for my other son

only if I returned to the palace.

The imperial family always attaches great importance to their reputation.

If I was back, he'd keep his promise.

Now, that son of mine has gone to the coldest land.

But I'll soon leave this place.

Unknowingly, I've told you a lot of things.

Maybe it's because you look a lot like him.

Ye Dingzhi, the Head of Demon Sect?

His eyes looked as pretty as yours.

I suppose my kid is about your age.

What is your kid's name?

His name is Ye Anshi.

It's a good name.

I think those few years were the happiest time in my life.

It was also the first time I found the world likable.

That's why I gave him this name.

I see.

Tell me about you.

What about you?

Wuxin, tell me about your experiences.

About me?

Yes.

Where are you from?

Where did you grow up?

How did you come to Tianqi City?

I lived in chaos before I met my master.

But I was happy.

In my memory, there were my mother, father,

and

many uncles who loved me.

But then they passed away.

I was lucky to meet my master.

We lived together and relied on one another.

Then, my master's gone too.

After that, I've been through ups and downs.

Eventually, I came to Tianqi City.

I didn't expect you to experience so much at such a young age.

Your Highness, are you sleepy?

Don't call me that.

I don't like being called that.

Wuxin, you may leave first.

Chat with me some other time.

But there's not much time left.

I'll leave here soon.

Consort Xuan?

Consort Xuan?

Mother?

Xiao Yu, this jerk!

[Jingxue Pavilion]

What are you thinking?

Wuxin should be in the palace now.

Wuxin?

You've found him?

He has entered the palace once before.

But he was injured by Jinxuan.

He's been recuperating lately.

I went to Jade Deity a few days ago.

I asked him to get Wuxin into the palace.

He wanted to see his mother?

But this is too risky.

The Wuxin I know is the smartest guy I've ever met.

He won't do something silly.

Everyone will do something silly.

It's when they encounter the person and the matter they care about the most.

Keep an ear out for the news from the palace.

Sure.

Xiao Yu, why would you poison your own mother?

So what?

Anyway, the poison won't kill her.

Besides, you're here to remove the toxin from her body.

She'll be all right.

This is the Toxin-Reversing Technique of Medicine Valley.

When you mobilized qi to remove the toxin,

the toxin has already been transferred to your body.

Then, why did you do this?

It's all because of you, my dear brother.

You're a martial arts expert, and you're smart.

What kind of situation can make you let your guard down?

It's a great honor to have the Head of Baixiao Sect here

to deliver messages to me every time.

Many people are keeping an eye on Lord Yong'an's Residence.

Without martial arts, I wouldn't have gotten in here.

Here.

This is the name list you want.

The toxin-making experts who entered Tianqi City and haven't left in the course of the year.

As expected of the Baixiao Sect.

There are seven people from the Tang Clan, 13 people from the Wen family,

three people from the Five Poisons Clan, four people from Liusan Sect,

and some small sects.

I don't know which one you're looking for. [Ghost Physician Night Crow, Medicine Valley]

Ghost Physician Night Crow?

I knew this name would catch your eye first.

Hasn't this person disappeared for a long time?

The three experts in Medicine Valley were Medicine King Xin Baicao,

Divine Healer Bian Suchen, and Ghost Physician Night Crow.

Ghost Physician Night Crow was the youngest among them.

But the medicine she used was the most strange among them.

And because of this, she studied secret techniques

so she was evicted from the sect.

Then, it was said that the medicine backfired on her. And she died of that.

But Baixiao Sect found her whereabouts in Tianqi about six months ago.

Where is she now?

Do you know why her name is Night Crow?

Besides being a drug expert, her qinggong skills are excellent as well.

We lost track of her.

So her current whereabouts are still unknown.

We must tell Hua Jin about this.

Are you sure it's her?

Medicine King Xin Baicao once said

that only an heir of Medicine Valley can render

another heir of Medicine Valley helpless.

[Night Crow]

Great.

I finally got my perfect creation.
