TITLE: [Weaving a Tale of Love]

[Episode 32]

You are young and also a person that practices martial arts.

Why would you have gout? Tell the truth!

My person commits a wrongdoing, and I will discipline him.

Pei Xingjian,

you are a mere imperial guard leader, how dare you overstep your authority?

You are quite bold.

Greetings, Prince of Cao.

Pu Banu barged through the palace gate and appeared to be insane.

He hit and hurt saveral guards. I was concerned that he committed a big crime

that I arrested him.

I will take him back and severely punish him.

- Xiao Liuzi. - Yes.

Pei Xingjian, how dare you!

Your Highness, please allay your anger.

Didn't I give you the drug?

Why didn't you take it?

Your Highness, that's not drug,

it's poison.

If I keep taking it, I'll be disabled.

I'll be useless.

You are the first person to take this drug.

I don't know the exact consequence of taking this drug continuously.

However, looking at your half dead condition,

if you quit taking the drug,

you will definitely die.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

- Didn't he eat it? -Yes.

I didn't know this drug's effect would be so strong.

It may be put into good use later on.

Too bad that Pu Bano is probably worthless now.

This son and subordinate greets Mother.

Is there something that displeases you?

Why does your face look so sullen?

Today, we were so close to be successful.

What was wrong?

I wonder if Li Zhi has noticed something.

I saw him holding the medicinal soup and almost took it to His Majesty's mouth.

But suddenly, he said his hand was trembling.

He pushed the task of feeding His Majesty to me.

Fortunately I reacted fast and spilled the soup bowl.

How could it be so coincidental?

His hand suddenly trembled at a crucle time..

He said that his hand is hurt because he has been copying the scriptures to pray for blessings for His Majesty.

That's why his trembling problem recurred.

As it is, our plan will probably fail then.

His Majesty's energy is getting worse and worse every day.

This matter is urgent.

We can't keep waiting or it'll be too late.

This is precisely why I'm worried.

Perhaps...

we should prepare both hands.

In case His Majesty dies, we will send troops to control Black Tortoise Gate.

And then announce the decree to say

before His Majesty passed away, he discovered that Li Zhi could not bear the important duty,

therefore he left his last will to pass the throne to me.

This is a clear-cut way.

Director of the Directorate of Eunuchs, Pan Qinhan, is our person.

He can testify that the last will is written by His Majesty himself.

Understood.

You must not neglect anything in positioning the troops.

Hurry with the plan to mobilizing them.

Pu Banu is addicted to the poisonous drug, and is about to become useless.

I need to find another able person to replace him.

Is that drug so powerful?

He wanted to secretly quit the drug,

but he turned out to act so crazy today

and almost committe a big disaster.

Boss. Do you know a Heng Tai Clinic nearby?

Heng Tai? It's straight ahead, not far from here.

You've come a little late.

The people who want to see Physican Heng have queued to tomorrow already.

Is this Physician Heng really good?

Of course.

Physician Heng is especially good at treating unusual illnesses. Many people from out-of-town

come here because of his reputation.

Thank you.

[Heng Tai Clinic]

Physician Heng, this man is unreasonable. He insists on barging in.

Sir, if you come to Heng Tai Clinic for your illness,

you should abide by our rule.

This is my rule. They are here to see about illnesses.

I'm here to save a life.

Leave here.

Go.

Hurry and go.

Did someone named Pei Xingjian come to you to get treated?

Do you mean the heir to Pei family,

- Sir Pei? - That's him.

What is his illness?

Come.

He wasn't getting treated for himself.

If it's not for himself, why didn't the patient come?

Before Sir Pei left, he repeatedly reminded me not to reveal it.

Besides, safeguarding the patients' secrets

is the duty of the medical practitioners.

Sorry, but I can't tell you.

I'll talk, I'll talk.

He was asking for a young lady's illness.

That young lady had suffered serious external wounds,

and in addition, congestedd liver flows, she almost died.

She probably has sepsis. Normally,

treating a patient involves looking, listening, inquiring, and pulse taking.

Without seeing the person, I really can't treat the patient.

But Pei Xingjian kept begging and was very sincere,

so I made an exception and made a diagnosis.

A young lady? You didn't even see her,

how did you know it's a young lady?

You don't know this, but

prescribing for a male patients must pay attention on air flow and the kidney.

Prescribing for a female patients, however, must pay attention on the liver and blood.

Many mediocre physicians do not differentiate between males and females.

I won't ruin my reputation by being careless.

I must be sure in order to prescribe with the correct medicine.

Sir, you are bulky like an ox with hands strong like iron.

You don't look like a sick person.

Why do you want to cause me trouble?

This...

[Hall of Shining Virtues]

Your Highness, we don't have many remaining crude drugs as Pu Banu required.

What about giving orders to get some new ones ready? So we keep this up.

Pu Banu is good-for-nothing.

The costs of producing medicine are not low. I don't need it anymore.

Yes.

Don't waste time. Find someone to replace Pu Banu.

Your Highness, what do you mean?

I am letting go of Pu Banu.

The one who can create this pill

is for sure a matchless expert!

Would you be kind enough to recommend someone to me?

If I had known where he is at,

I would have got him dismembered by horses!

I have used all my rare skills to make this pill. Yet Yin and Yang forces are clashing.

But even though this goes against the principles of pharmacology,

using this pill for the short-term will be extraordinary efficient.

It can cure all diseases regular people have found no cure for!

The efficacy of this drug is obvious, as well as its toxicity.

Using it for a long term triggers dependency.

Even though it's medicine for the soul, it is more of a poison.

I could brew a decoction for you

so your illness could be cured.

But you have to think it thorough.

The only way to achieve permanent healing is giving up your drug addiction.

It's just that-

What's wrong?

Just that giving up drugs is definitely not an easy task.

I am afraid that if you don't manage your drug addiction,

you will get an adverse effect of the medicine and you will end up losing your life!

[Courtyard of Misfortune]

Xiao Douzi,

I know you are angry

but have you ever thought that

How angry your mother who stares down on you from heaven would be

if she sees how shut-in and easily defeated you have become?

How disappointed too.

I'm timid.

There are many things I don't dare to do

but it's different for you. Although you are a girl,

you don't fear heaven and earth. Idiom: You are fearless. You don't fear the universe's driving forces.

You are frank and outspoken.

You never mix drinking water with mud. You never lament over things. Idiom: You get things done properly.

Even if you were to fall down and you end up with a swollen face and a bloody nose,

even after you got severely beaten up by the master,

you would still be cheerful as usual, as if you had no problem.

I admire you from the bottom of my heart.

Because you have been living,

just as I want to be living.

Therefore...no matter how exhausted I get and how much pain I have to endure because of the palace life,

as long as I can see the way you wobble around, living as doughty as a dragon and as spirited as a tiger,

I just feel as if the sky will never collapse over my head!

There is nothing to worry about.

But lately...you have been so demoralized,

dispirited and listless...

You let me and the master,

see how much pain you have been hiding in your heart!

Aren't you here only to convince me to take the medicine?

Is it really necessarily to be so long-winded and whiny? You are wasting your whole energy!

Then you should first have a meal to fill up your stomach.

Eat your medicine afterwards.

This medicine Pei...

This medicine was taken from a famous physician, an expert of martial arts.

I begged him to write out a prescription for you.

It will definitely cure your illness.

Has Xiao Douzi agreed to eat?

Does Physician Heng's medicine work?

His mood has improved. He has just eaten the decoction.

I can't say precisely how the medicine is working out so far.

This is great.

Brother Pei!

Younger Brother! What is wrong？

His Majesty is suddenly calling in the Crown Prince.

Aslo, Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and other important court ministers.

Thank you, Xiao Shunzi.

- Please lead the way. - Alright.

How comes there was no onward notice about it? So sudden!

Consort Yang asked Your Highness to go to the Hall of Immortal Nectar now.

Where is Pu Banu? Call him in, just in case he is needed.

Yes.

Pu Banu, His Highness wants to enter the palace and wants you to accompany him.

Pu Banu!

Reply, I'll be there immediately.

Along ten thousand miles of sad Autumn, I pity my thin reflection.

I have been ill for a long tim, my energy is weakening,

and I'm too exhausted to govern the country.

Crown Prince , Li Zhi is intelligent.

He is loyal and has the people's heart.

With the world in mind, everybody knows.

However, it's rare for a young person to make achievements early.

Duke of Henan, Chu Suiliang, and Shangdang Prefecture Governor

Great General Zhangsun Wuji

are virtuous and capable as the court's loyal pillars.

as ministers-regent to work in one united heart

to fulfill their duties. This is announcement to the nation

is to be implemented as stated.

This subject, Zhangsun Wuji,

Chu Suiliang, accept the decree.

- This subject accept the decree. - This subject accept the decree.

We shall not disappoint what Your Majesty has entrusted in us

to do our best to fulfill our duty.

We will help Crown Prince to take care of national affairs.

Zhi'Er.

Zhi'Er.

You must rely on these two ministers going forward.

You have to have the world in mind.

Be humble in accepting advice.

Be a wise ruler

Protect my Great Tang's

mountains and people.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

This son and subordinate will remember it to heart.

[Hall of Gentle Breeze]

His Majesty suddenly appointed Ministers-Regent.

It was so sudden.

We are one step behind.

If we announce the fake last will,

no only the people won't believe it,

the two ministers-regent who hold high powers

They won't do nothing about it.

Mother. What is left for us is the last path.

To think of a way to show East Palace having the thoughts to overthrow the emperor.

It has to be hard evidence.

Li Zhi must not be able to deny it.

The people and the two ministers-regent must

Have nothing to say.

Raise the troops to rebel?

The Black Tortoise Gate is a good place to start a coup.

We can replay

history.

Back then, His Majesty mobilized troops at the Black Tortoise Gate and killed the crown prince

and forced Emperor Gaozu to abdicate. That's how he ascended the throne.

It's been so many years now, the Black Tortoise Gate has always been

a taboo for His Majesty, and a permanent thorn in his heart.

Now, we only have to make East Palace

use troops to show power.

What do you think His Majesty will think?

When that time comes,

even if Li Zhi has a body of mouths, he cannot clear himself.

The two ministers-regent will rush to protect themselves.

They will break their ties with Crown Prince.

Seems like this is the only way.

But the troops in East Palace is in Pei Xingjian's hands.

Pei Xingjian is loyal to Li Zhi.

To change the direction of East Palace's troops,

how would it be easy?

Pei Xingjian.

I will find someone to have him killed.

So he won't block my path.

Pei Xingjian's martial arts are great,

even Pu Banu cannot fight him.

Consort Yang, Guard Pu has gone mad.

Please hurry and have a look.

Master Pu, spare me!

I won't dare to do it again.

Give me the medicine.

Give me the medicine!

The medicine is on the floor!

Please spare me.

Give me medicine!

Give me medicine!

Give me medicine!

- Arrest him. - Yes.

He has gone mad!

[Hall of Gentle Breeze]

Pu Banu.

You dared to enter the palace to create a scene.

Have you really gone mad?

Your Highness,

I feel like a hundred bugs are biting my heart.

I am trying hard to break the medicine addiction.

But I really cannot hold back!

Your Highness, on the behalf that

I have done so many things for you, please give me the medicine.

Please save me!

-Please save me! -Useless.

Arrest him, shut his mouth,

-bring him back to the chamber! -Yes!

Wait, wait! I have Pei Xingjian's secret!

I have Pei Xingjian's secret! I have Pei Xingjian's secret!

Wait.

I am not useless, Your Highness, I am not useless.

What secret? Speak.

Your Highness,

The person who gave me this medicine, was you, Your Highness.

It is to win Pei Xingjian in the competition.

For your gain,

I had no complain of trying the medicine myself.

I know, I know that the medicine addiction is hard to break now, it is useless.

But, Your Highness, I only want to beg you of one thing.

Don't kill the deer after you have succeeded your plan.k

Your Highness. I will do everything I can.

I will repay you for your kindness. Your Highness.

Pu Banu, as long as you are loyal to me,

however much medicine you want, there is.

Please give me the medicine, Your Highness.

Buddha, 11 years ago,

I altered Liuli's fortune stick in front of you.

11 years later, I made decisions without asking,

giving Liuli's mother's golden needle to Zhuo Jinniang.

I kept thinking this is for Liuli's good.

so that disasters could be avoided.

In the end,

Liuli was harmed because of me.

Everything, is all my own fault.

If you want to punish,

then punish me alone. I

am willing to cut a few years of life.

For Liuli to block every disaster.

Please grant.

Liuli, what happened to your leg?

Are the meridian channels injured?

-Why didn't you tell everyone? -This is my own matter.

I don't need you to care.

Here, I'll help you onto the bed.

I said I don't need you to care!

Liuli, don't be afraid.

There is so much miraculous medicine and doctors in the world,

your wound will for sure heal.

Leave. I don't want to see you.

I got this safety talisman from Da Ci'en Temple.

I promised hard in front of Buddha,

Buddha will for sure protect you.

No need. Their fortune sticks don't work.

How would your wish be fulfilled?

Who said their wish grants don't work?

When you were in front of Buddha,

you got a bad fortune stick

for consecutively two times, I secretly blocked them.

That's why you eventually got a good fortune stick.

What did you say?

When I was drawing the fortune stick,

you were there too?

Then, I shot down your fortune stick,

I almost couldn't be accepted as General Su's disciple.

So, there was the meeting between us two.

Our fate, has already started at the Temple.

This lucky charm,

it has my promise

Buddha will for sure make sure you are safe.

Have a good rest and recuperation.

Don't be impatient and reckless.

I'm leaving.

Pu Banu.

You said earlier you have Pei Xingjian's secret.

What's the secret?

Continue to talk.

From what I see,

the relationship between Pei Xingjian and the young lady

is not ordinary.

Pei Xingjian is young and energetic,

and has not gotten married after his wife died,

unless, that girl is someone he likes?

It really is fate.

When we have no idea how to deal with Pei Xingjian,

Pu Banu has gave us such a great pawn.

What you are saying is you want to use this girl

to threaten Pei Xingjian?

But Pei Xingjian is loyal to Li Zhi.

Why would he betray Crown Prince because of a girl?

Mother, you are right.

Pei Xingjian is loyal to Crown Prince and won't betray Crown Prince because of personal matters.

But have you thought Mother, that because he is loyal,

if he sees the person he likes

because of his mistake

suffer from pain that is unbearable.

Seeing the girl he loves,

because of his mistake,

as good as dead,

then what will he do?

Pei Xingjian does not owe anything to Crown Prince.

But he will soon owe that girl.

What he owes, he won't be able to repay.

When that time comes, what will a man with feelings choose?

Will he choose his career

or the loved one he owes too much?

Pu Banu.

Yes.

Help me

deal with this well.

Doctor Heng.

Mr. Pei.

This is the reward money.

Please take it back,

I don't feel good taking it.

Physician Heng, your medical skills are outstanding and even made an exception for me.

I once said that if the medicine works,

I will give you 3x the money to express thanks.

I only am fulfilling my promise.

Doctor Heng, no need to say no.

How is the girl doing?

If she is almost done, then she only needs to rest.

She doesn't have to eat medicine.

The saying goes medicine has three portion poison.

Please do the good thing to the end. No need to reject.

Although the patient has eaten medicine for 3 days, but she cannot move well.

It seems that her meridian channels are damaged and the tendons are injured.

Doctor Heng, if you think the money is not enough, I will try my best.

No, no, no, that's not what I mean.

I still have another medicine.

For people with great injury,

it has a cure to help strengthen the tibia.

How many each day? How many each time?

Please tell me Doctor Heng.

I will write it down for you.

I have said that medicine is 3 portions poison.

If not the worst scenario,

if you can eat less, then eat less.

Here, please keep it well.

I remember.

Physician Heng, they call you Devine Hua Tuo. (Hua Tuo was a famous physician in Han dynasty)

From what I see today, you really are as the people say.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I will leave for now.

Liuli doesn't dare to come off bed, she says that she has a headache.

I thought...she was afraid I would be worried.

So she kept on keeping it a secret.

I really am useless, I should have thought of it earlier.

She is someone who is so afraid of boredom,

how would she stay on the bed?

This is the pill Doctor Heng has created.

It has a cure to strengthen the tibia, give it to her.

But don't say that I brought it,

or else, she won't dare to eat it.

-Okay. -Hurry!

Imperial Guard Leader, you are true with Liuli.

I have misunderstood you.

I haven't apologized to you these few days.

Please accept my bow.

This is all the past.

Eunuch Sun, you don't need to keep it at heart.

Before, for Zhuo Jinniang to not know Liuli's identity,

it was me who asked Eunuch Sun and Qiniang to set up the plan.

To give Liuli's golden needle to Zhuo Jinniang.

Seeing how painful she is now,

I don't know if I helped her,

or harmed her.

Xiao Douzi, do you feel better today?

You are laying all day long, are you bored?

Bored?

I have waited so long for this fairy like days.

-Fairy like days? -Yes.

I have Crown Prince who looks after me and you to serve me,

when I wake up I eat, then I sleep.

I don't need to sew clothings and I don't need to hear Zhuo Jinniang get mad at me.

I don't need to step and I have food in my mouth, and my hands are full.

In the whole palace, people who can have this fairy like days,

other than His Majesty who is sick, then there is only me.

Why are you crying?

Of course because of you.

If you continue to lay,

my two legs will become thin like hemp sticks.

Sorry, Xiao Shunzi.

It is all my fault for letting you suffer.

If you feel bad for me,

then eat this medicine.

I don't know where you get these weird medicine from.

What medicine is this?

This medicine pill comes from a big background.

This is given by the famous doctor that gave you the previous medicine.

The doctor said this medicine for greatly-injured,

has a cure to strengthen the tibia.

-Really? -Yes.

"Number One Needle in the World" Madam An's daughter, Liuli.

Because of bad people,

almost met a disastrous end, but luckily received immortal elixir.

After a few days, there will for sure be a miraculous cure.

I don't know after you recovered,

will you grant a reward?

Reward, of course reward,

Say, what reward would you like?

I am not good with my words and always upset you.

So, I don't dare to ask for rewards.

I only wish to compensate my wrongdoings with the medicine.

The good from before, keep it.

The bad, forget it, okay?

You are still thinking about the past?

How would I be someone so narrow-minded?

Just say whether or not you agree to using this medicine to compensate.

I agree.

Saying you are dumb, I am not accusing you.

Such a great chance, and you don't take advantage.

You should be dumb to death.

[Hall of Shining Virtues]

Pu Banu, a few days have passed,

is there any news on Pei Xingjian's side?

The number of times Pei Xingjian gets medicine is more and more.

From what I see, the person who eats the medicine, must be addicted.

They cannot break it.

Since the fish has already took the bait,

then let's start to reel it in.
