Dear Herbal Lord Season 1

Episode 7

Mr. Xiao,

how are you doing?

Qingyun,

glad to see you.

What an idiot you were.

It was Xiao Ya's fault.

Why did you receive the punishment in her stead?

But the thing is,

Xiao Ya is my younger sister.

As her older brother,

I ought to receive the punishment in her stead.

Besides,

the City Governor didn't intend to punish me,

otherwise I wouldn't have been able to speak.

But

it was all because of me that you've suffered

these old and new wounds.

How about this:

I'll collect some more herbs.

Qingyun,

don't go.

Well,

I don't need any herb.

I just want you to stay here to keep me company.

But

your wounds are likely to relapse if left untreated.

I'll be quick.

Wait for me, OK?

Fine.

Your Lordship,

Miss Jiang is going to gather herbs in the mountains.

Gathering herbs?

It must be for the sake of Xiao Ziming.

Shall we follow her?

No need for that.

Let her do what she wants. Why bother about her?

Brother,

I've brought you some yummy food.

Brother,

it was all my fault

that you've suffered the physical torture.

Never mind.

You've been

like this since childhood,

and I've long been used to it.

Besides,

I would have suffered heartache

if you had been beaten instead.

Brother,

Jiang Qingyun is to blame for all this.

Ya,

I've taken the punishment in your stead,

but you should apologize

by yourself.

Brother,

I didn't do it on purpose.

I just wanted to teach her a lesson,

for she always vies with me for Herbal Lord.

Ya, think about it:

it was your fault on this matter.

If you…

If you had hurt her,

no one could have protected you.

I feel that

you're shielding Qingyun, aren't you?

Ya!

Brother, don't you stir.

Ya,

listen to me:

You can be as capricious as you will,

but you mustn't hurt people.

Fine, brother.

Don't you stir,

lest the wounds should bump against any object.

Eat something first.

Fine.

Come on, taste it.

Just taste it.

My dear horse.

Good boy.

It's time to eat.

We're going

to gather herbs in a while,

and you must obey me during the process,

otherwise,

I won't feed you so much quality hay next time.

Well, now that you're full,

it's time to work.

Go.

Horse, horse,

slow down.

I, I'm scared.

Don't worry. I'll just pick a few leaves off you.

Your roots won't be hurt.

Losing the memory after the kiss,

and pretending not to have taken advantage of me.

Your Lordship!

Look,

there are so many herbs,

including callicarpa herbs,

Cirsium setosum,

begonia fimbristipula,

and Hibiscus syriacus.

Mr. Xiao has been hurt because of me,

so I should send some herbs to him.

Xiao Ziming

will die of eating so many herbs.

What?

Why are you being jealous again?

Didn't you just gather a lot of folium isatidis already?

Why have you gathered another bundle?

Really?

Let me see.

Perhaps only such fools like you

would forget things that happened

just a moment ago.

Why have you lost your temper suddenly

just because I gathered some herbs?

Is there anything else I've forgotten?

Last time.

Last time.

Last time when…

Callicarpa herbs,

and silver-thread herbs

Jiang Qingyun,

it's dangerous over there. Slow down.

Jiang Qingyun!

Hurry back. It's dangerous over there!

Don't worry. I'll be fine.

Hold my hand!

Wait for me to gather this.

Are you mad?

See? I've gathered the silver-thread herb.

Jiang Qingyun,

have you gone mad?

You're even willing

to risk your life for Xiao Ziming, aren't you?

Why do you mention Mr. Xiao?

I picked the silver-thread herb for you.

For me?

The silver-thread herb can relieve the poison in your body.

It's very rare,

so I pick it whenever I find one.

Ain't I awesome?

Why have you stopped being jealous now?

Let me ask you something.

Go ahead.

That day when you visited my abode,

I mean, the day when you sent me ginseng.

Did you…

Look over there!

Something goes wrong.

Is that place on fire?

Will anyone be in danger?

Let's go take a look.

Alas.

All of you!

Put out the fire. Hurry!

Quickly!

Go over here.

Hurry. Over here!

Hurry, hurry.

Hurry!

Be quick and put out the fire.

Quicker.

Hurry up.

Be quick.

Lord Xiao,

you can't put out the fire with water. Use sandy dirt.

Don't talk nonsense here.

Of course water quells fire.

You'll be responsible

if the rescue of people is delayed because of you!

I'm not talking nonsense.

See? It can't be quenched.

Ain't I right?

You just don't believe my words.

Lord Xiao,

how come my room caught fire out of the blue?

How am I supposed to know?

I took people here to fight the fire

as soon as I heard the room was on fire.

Maybe it's due to the dry weather.

It has nothing to do with the dry weather.

It's tung oil!

Someone set the fire with tung oil,

intending to burn the room of Herbal Lord!

How do you know?

I smell it.

This unpleasant odor

must be from tung oil.

No wonder the fire has lasted for so long.

It turns out someone used tung oil as the comburent .

Your Lordship,

have you offended anyone

so that they attempted to murder you?

Someone help me.

Help!

Someone seems to be speaking!

Help!

Stop talking nonsense here!

I'm not talking nonsense!

Your Lordship Herbal Lord!

Your Lordship Herbal Lord,

have you seen the City Governor?

I haven't seen the City Governor.

The Governor went to visit Herbal Lord in the afternoon

and hasn't come back yet.

Then our City Governor…

Your Lordship Herbal Lord!

Uh…

Your Lordship Herbal Lord!

Uncle.

Uncle.

Your Lordship.

He,

feed the Governor some water slowly and repeatedly,

and in a small amount each time.

I'll soon treat the Governor with acupuncture.

The room must be well ventilated!

OK.

Receive the treatment first.

We'll talk later if you have anything to say.

Go.

Are you okay, Your Lordship?

I'm fine.

Please treat the Governor first, Lord Jiang.

I'll order Xuhuai

to bring a piece of thousand-year-old ginseng over.

Let him drink its decoction after the acupuncture.

But you're in poor health as well.

Nothing serious.

Just a chronic illness.

Send Yiran over to inform me if you need help.

Have a good rest, Your Lordship.

Thanks for your caring words, Lord Xiao.

Well,

I'm going to see what condition the Governor is in.

Old fox.

Where's Jiang Qingyun?

Miss Jiang?

I haven't seen her in a while.

Unexpectedly, the two of them

have appeared together.

How small the world is for old foes.

My one-thousand-year waiting

has finally proved to be useful.

Jiang Qingyun.

Jiang Qingyun.

Jiang Qingyun,

what are you doing?

Jiang Qingyun.

Jiang Qingyun!

What are you doing?

Why is Your Lordship biting me?

What on earth are you doing?

It's you who bites me.

How come you ask me what I am doing?

How can Your Lordship bully me?

You keep saying that you want to marry me,

but do you know what should be done during the wedding?

Sure.

Offering betrothal gifts, getting in the marriage sedan,

bowing to Heaven and Earth, and entering the nuptial room.

Then do you know

what should be done in the nuptial room?

In the nuptial room?

No idea.

What should be done in the nuptial room

is unmentionable.

Miss Jiang!

Qingyun!

Miss Jiang!

My dear daughter,

where have you gone?

Miss Jiang, where are you?

Miss Jiang!

Miss Jiang!

My dad has come.

Miss Jiang!

This is

a secret between the two of us.

You mustn't tell anyone about it.

Where are you, Miss Jiang?

Miss Jiang!

Qingyun!

– Dad has come to look for you! – Miss Jiang!

Where are you, my dear daughter?

I'm here, dad.

Your Ladyship!

My dear daughter.

Are you okay, Your Ladyship?

Dad has been worried to death.

How come there's blood on your arm?

Are you injured?

It's okay, dad.

It's not serious.

Come on,

support my daughter back home.

Dad will treat your injury.

Go quickly.

You keep saying that you want to marry me,

but do you know what should be done during the wedding?

Sure.

Offering betrothal gifts, getting in the marriage sedan,

bowing to Heaven and Earth, and entering the nuptial room.

Could you please stop thumping so hard?

That guy named Chu Zhimo is to blame.

My mortal body has become abnormal because of him.

No, no!

It's making me fearful.

But

why did Herbal Lord bite me?

Can it be…

Silly girl.

When absorbing the herbal essence,

you have to do it mouth-to-mouth

in order to absorb more of it.

It turns out

he was also absorbing my herbal essence!

And he did it mouth-to-mouth.

How much essence did he want?

So he has long found out that it is for

absorbing his herbal essence that I've been approaching him.

That's why he bit me on purpose,

intending to get his herbal essence back.

What a cunning man.

No wonder

the body of the mortal always feels so strange.

It's because the herbal essence has been absorbed away.

Oh, Little Woad,

how could you be so careless?

You weren't being vigilant at all.

Chu Zhimo,

I won't let you have your way anymore.

Little Woad,

what have you done to my body?

You haven't taken good care of it at all.

It hurts.

I thought you were quite capable

since you said you've cultivated yourself for 1000 years.

But even a tiny charm has managed to hurt you,

and hurt my body, too.

How I feel sorry for my body.

Who was it?

Who could've expected that someone would paste

an evil-exorcising charm in the room?

That guy was so void of civic virtue.

This has been the hunting spot for the governor of Daxing City

over the years.

The High Priest sets up a defensive formation

at every place where the governor stays

in order to ensure the latter's safety.

Don't you know that?

Don't you always claim to be an "immortal woad"?

Why would you fear such evil-exorcising charms?

Can it be that

you're an evil spirit or a ghost?

I'm not!

I have diligently cultivated myself for 1000 years.

I am a veritable herbal immortal.

I didn't lie to you.

In my opinion,

you and others must have been hoodwinked

by that charlatan who called himself High Priest.

The charm in that room

at the relay station was not an ordinary charm.

The injury I suffered was mild.

If some small spirit had encountered the charm,

its soul would have long flown away.

Are you listening to me carefully?

I'm too sleepy.

I've become drowsier ever since the injury.

I'm tired.

Now I'll get some more sleep.

Fine.

Go on sleeping, then.

I'm leaving.

Wait.

You mustn't slack off while I'm asleep.

You need to go on courting Herbal Lord,

otherwise you'd be unworthy

of the injury my body has suffered for you.

Fine.

I won't listen to you.

I'll slack off for a few days

so as to preserve my herbal essence.

Your Lordship, it's time to drink the medicine.

Your Lordship Herbal Lord.

Retreat.

Aye.

Uncle.

Are you getting better?

Yes.

How about you, uncle?

I'm fine.

The medicine has cooled down.

How about I feed you?

No, thanks.

I'm not a child anymore.

So bitter.

I want sugar.

Didn't you say you're not a child?

Since Your Lordship is fine,

I'll just leave now.

Why did you save me, uncle?

You could justifiably

succeed me as the City Governor

so long as I was dead.

But why did you save me out of the sea of fire?

And you did that

by risking your own life.

Because…

The position of City Governor belongs to me for sure.

How can you have the effrontery to be the Governor

when you've done those dirty things?

I'm the most suitable candidate.

It's you who appointed the position to this kid.

Because

I've witnessed too many deceptions and intrigues since childhood.

I was as lonely and as fearful at that time

as you're now.

So I sympathize with your anxiety.

When I was bullied by my peers,

I thought,

if only someone could stand behind me.

Seeing your present situation

reminds me of myself.

I mustn't let you repeat my tragedy.

You're my last blood relation in the world.

Born with an ineradicable disease,

I don't have much time left.

The position of City Governor

means nothing to me.

I've been

strict with you over the years

because I hope you can grow up soon

and become an independent City Governor.

In this way,

I will have no regret

even if I die.

Uncle,

you're Herbal Lord.

And with Lord Jiang and Dr. Jing's miracle-working skills,

your illness will certainly be cured.

A physician cannot treat himself.

This is my fate.

Don't say such demoralizing words.

If I live,

don't you fear that I'd vie with you for the position of Governor?

I know that

you wouldn't do this, uncle.

Remember:

don't believe other people's words easily.

I know well

about the poisoning incident.

But I still want to hear you say in person

that the poison wasn't put by you.

You're my only blood relation.

How could I poison you?

I knew it.

I knew it.

I knew it when I saw you

in the sea of fire.

I knew that you wouldn't hurt me, uncle.

You're still a kid.

Don't cry.

Have you really recovered?

Of course I'm okay

since you've come to see me.

See? I told you.

Don't pretend to be strong.

Seems that I still haven't fully recovered.

Please come to see me more often.

OK.

I'll bring you more herbs

when I come next time,

so that your health can be reinforced.

Otherwise I'd feel terribly guilty

if your illness develops into a chronic one.

If it comes to that,

I won't suffer any loss.

Nothing really.

There's one thing…

Here you are.

What's this?

A thank-you gift.

Thank-you gift?

Yep.

The herbs you gave me previously have been quite effective,

so now I give you this thank-you gift.

Good deeds should be rewarded.

It's a slingshot!

I tell you what,

this slingshot was made by myself.

It can serve as a helpful weapon when you

come across any danger in the future.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Really?

Good, then.

Let's go play the slingshot.

" She must have been frightened that day,

which is why she hasn't showed up for days."

Xuhuai.

Yes, Your Lordship.

What has Jiang Qingyun been doing these days?
