Episode 19

Jiuling Drugstore

Danfengmen

Prime Minister Huang Cheng

The Imperial Academy of Medicine

Jiuling Drugstore

Liu's drugstore

What's wrong with them?

Are you here to see a doctor?

Can you show me

your symptoms?

Open the door.

Open the door.

Go! Go!

Open the door. Help us.

Your disease can't be cured.

Open the door. Go.

What's the matter?

I saw two patients

suffering from smallpox outside.

Smallpox?

Are you sure?

Yes, they definitely

suffer from smallpox.

Close the door.

Burn

rhizoma atractylodis and wormwood at once.

Hurry up.

-Go! -OK.

Where are we going later?

We've bought

dried fruits

and dried meat slices.

Then let's go to buy some pastries.

-Buy some pastries. -I remember

Zhang's Pastry Shop seems to

be in that street.

Now there are disputes

in the court,

but fortunately, it's peaceful.

Beiqi wants to invade,

but it's not ready yet.

Disasters appear everywhere,

but the casualties are not serious.

Fortunately, everything is threatening but not dangerous

and goes well.

Then I can feel at ease and prepare for the exam.

Most importantly,

Miss Jun is all right.

Young Master,

the Jiuling Drugstore is nearby.

Why don't we…

No need.

Go.

-Go there and have a look. -Young Master.

Miss Jun.

Childe Ning.

Miss Jun,

what a coincidence.

It's

really a coincidence.

Congratulations.

You cured the serious disease

of His Highness Prince Huai.

I finally

can be relieved.

You're going…

I'm going to the Imperial Academy for review.

Your hard work

will definitely make you succeed.

Thank you.

Then I'm leaving.

Young Master,

why didn't you say more?

It is satisfying

to say a few words to her

as I have just done.

I'm leaving.

OK.

Sir, take care.

You want one?

Go away! Go away!

I don't sell it. I don't sell it.

Jun.

Mr. Ling?

I want to ask you about something.

You want to ask about the imperial decree?

Yes.

It's not to protect you

but will be bad for you.

You cured Prince Huai

but annoyed His Majesty.

Now you hold the imperial decree,

so His Majesty hates you more.

Thank you for coming to care about me

even if it's so late.

I've thought about

these already.

My families sent me the imperial decree

is to prevent Lu Yunqi

from making trouble again.

I didn't know it.

Now that the imperial decree

has been sent to you,

you can only be more careful.

What is it?

Osmanthus cake of the Imperial Kitchen.

Why do you give it to me?

I just

don't like the sweet pastries,

so I give it to you

as a reward for curing Jiurong's disease.

Is Jiurong just worth

these osmanthus cakes?

So you want silver?

I'll give you tomorrow.

I don't want the money.

Purple immortal herb?

Do you have it?

No.

Then you owe me one.

I'm leaving.

Mom,

why?

Why does everyone dislike me?

Guo'er, don't be afraid.

I'm here.

Don't be afraid.

I have

half a steamed bun

for your child.

Mom,

I'm hungry.

I want to eat it.

-Let me kowtow to you. -No need.

No need.

You save our lives.

This disease

makes you suffer.

We have had a fever for several days.

I thought it may be cured

in the capital city.

Unexpectedly,

everyone drove us away

like mad.

They even didn't sell us anything.

Well,

I know a drugstore.

You can

go there.

It's over there.

Mom, I feel bad.

Jinxiu,

these two medicine packets have been wrapped up.

Send them to Mrs. Zhou.

Are you a doctor?

She is a doctor.

Let's go in to talk about it.

Doctor.

Jinxiu,

vacate a room

and ask Chen Qi to prepare detoxication soup.

How is it?

Is the decoction ready?

Is it ready?

This one is ready,

and this one will be ready soon.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Take it off and let me check.

I'm all right. I'm all right.

I'm really all right.

Don't touch it.

Don't touch it.

Let me do it.

I've never seen

Jiuling so worried.

She was not so worried

even when treating Chengyu.

Don't worry too much.

Miss Jun

will cure this disease.

I hope so.

Be careful.

-Keep an eye on the decoction. -OK.

Mom,

I feel bad.

Guo'er,

be good.

You'll get better later.

-Mom. -Jiuling.

I feel bad. -The decoction is ready.

-OK. -Be good.

Take these away and burn them.

Hurry up.

-Mom. -Guo'er, be good.

-Guo'er, be good. -Madame,

take the detoxication soup

to stabilize your condition temporarily.

Come on, Guo'er.

Let me feed you the decoction.

Come on, open your mouth.

Swallow it.

Swallow it.

Dr. Jun,

you're really a philanthropist.

How can we ever thank you?

No need.

Maybe

I can't cure this disease.

Come on.

Dr. Jun,

I have only one child.

Get up.

I beg you.

You must cure her disease at all costs.

Dr. Jun, I beg you.

Don't worry.

How did you get this disease?

I don't know.

At first I thought we were bitten by insects.

-Later… -Mom.

Later, it became more and more serious.

Many villagers suffered from this disease.

Then they began to die.

We thought it could be cured in the capital city.

But villagers of all the villages along the way

suffered from this disease,

and more and more people died of it.

Did nobody report to the local government?

I don't know.

Others must also come to the capital city.

I know you're,

you're a highly skilled doctor.

Everyone says you're a highly skilled doctor,

so you must be able to save her.

You must be able to save her.

I kowtow to you.

-I kowtow to you. -Madame.

Dr. Jun,

-I beg you. -Get up.

-Get up. -Please.

Please save her.

Don't worry.

I'll do my best.

Take the decoction first.

Come on,

Guo'er.

Go on taking the decoction.

If we knew curing His Highness Prince Huai's disease

was such a merit,

we should

have done it early,

instead of delaying it in vain

and feeling alarmed at it for so long.

In the end,

we were even defamed.

It's hard

to understand His Majesty.

Now you're envious of her,

but what if she would be beheaded for it?

I'm fool.

Thank you for enlightening me.

Imperial Doctor Jiang!

Imperial Doctor Jiang!

Imperial…

Imperial Doctor Jiang,

terrible.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Get out! Get out!

Go!

Doctor.

Go. Go. Go.

Go.

Get out! Get out! Get out!

Go. Go. Go.

Are you OK?

Help him.

Are you sure it is smallpox?

Yes.

Many drugstores have reported it.

Yeah.

What should we do?

What should we do?

So many patients have suddenly flooded in.

Maybe

His majesty will know it soon.

What should we do?

It occurs just in time.

I'll recommend her to deal with it,

but she may not be lucky enough to win this honor.

Your Majesty,

there are

hundreds of smallpox patients.

Your Majesty,

it's hard to evacuate so many patients.

Ministers,

do you have any suggestions?

Your Majesty.

In my opinion,

the patients in the city must be gathered

to avoid

widespread infection.

Your Majesty,

we must stop those uninfected old and weak women and children

from going around

to avoid

its further spread.

Your Majesty,

we should find a broad place

to gather the smallpox patients as soon as possible

and dispatch the imperial doctors of the Imperial Academy of Medicine

to intensively treat them.

Your Majesty,

I disagree

with Minister Ning.

The number of smallpox patients ranges from

hundreds to thousands.

This is dozens or even hundreds times that of the imperial doctors

in the Imperial Academy of Medicine.

Even if the imperial doctors in the Imperial Academy of Medicine.

are all sent out,

we can't treat

so many patients, either.

Moreover,

if they suffered from other diseases,

even if the Imperial Academy of Medicine was understaffed,

we'd do our best,

but we

really can't treat

the smallpox patients.

First,

every imperial doctor needs to treat his patients in turn.

Second,

Your Majesty,

to be honest,

we must avoid

being infected with the smallpox.

If the imperial doctors

go on treating the princes,

princesses and ministers

after treating the smallpox patients,

what if…

No suggestion

can be adopted.

What can we do?

Your Majesty,

there was a smallpox outbreak

in every dynasty,

and the suggestions just made by ministers

were also adopted during every smallpox outbreak,

but it always ended up

with widespread infection,

countless casualties

and even

the destruction of the city and state.

Your Majesty,

I

have browsed the local chronicles

and found the smallpox was stopped

from spreading

in Lanxian.

What was the way?

Gather all the patients

and then

burn and bury them.

Well, well…

Well, well…

Nonsense!

It's infeasible!

Your Majesty, please calm down.

Why are you here?

I was just looking for you.

Countless patients have flooded in,

and the capital city is in disorder.

Why do you dress like this?

I took in the smallpox patients.

Smallpox and scrofula are completely different.

Smallpox is more dangerous.

His Highness Prince Huai didn't suffer from scrofula at all.

It was just an excuse of the Imperial Academy of Medicine to pass the buck.

So they even dared to fool His Majesty?

Then those imperial doctors

will definitely say that they can't cure the smallpox

and then recommend you,

right?

There is no cure for smallpox,

so patients can only take medicine to sustain lives

and depend on their own luck.

So the patients pouring in

will definitely cause chaos.

If you choose to treat the patients,

maybe you'll lose everything.

Think it twice.

Jiuling Drugstore has had no choice.

Your Majesty,

the words

of Imperial Doctor Jiang

sound a little cruel,

but

it's the best way now.

It can eradicate the smallpox

at the least cost.

Your Majesty,

if the smallpox spreads all over the city,

it'll be

too late.

Your Majesty,

I disagree.

They're also the people of our dynasty.

How can we burn

and bury them?

Please think twice, Your Majesty.

Minister Ning,

smallpox patients are indeed the people of our dynasty,

but aren't those innocent

the people of our dynasty?

We should give them up and protect the majority.

It's obvious

which is more important.

Your Majesty,

I think

Dr. Jun of the Jiuling Drugstore can have a try.

She once cured His Highness Prince Huai's disease,

so she must

be able to

cure the smallpox, too.

The son of Lord Cheng

asks for a meeting outside.

Summon the son of Lord Cheng!

Get up all.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Here is my respect,

Your Majesty.

You come

for the smallpox?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I come for it.

It's urgent,

so I'll say in brief.

I recommend

the Jiuling Drugstore

to treat the patients.

Jiuling Drugstore?

Your recommendation

is the same as that of the Imperial Academy of Medicine.

Jun,

as you expected,

the Imperial Academy of Medicine has indeed recommended you.

What do you think about it?

Your Majesty,

I think

the Jiuling Drugstore can have a try.

Your Majesty,

I agree

with Minister Huang.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

we have no choice

but to do so.

I

agree.

Let the Jiuling Drugstore

have a try.

The time limit

is one month.

Your Majesty is smart.

Your Majesty,

Qingshan Court

can gather the patients conveniently and rapidly,

and it's high, spacious

and far away from the water source,

which is conducive to treatment.

OK.

The Arm Moral Department

takes charge of

gathering all the patients

in Qingshan Court

for strict watch

to prevent

the patients

from running away secretly.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Do you know

why I ordered Jun Jiuling to treat the patients?

I

dare not guess your intention.

You must know why.

I'm fool.

Please make it clear.

She just cured Prince Huai's disease

by chance.

But

she won't be so lucky this time.

If

she is infected with smallpox

when treating the smallpox,

she will die.

Then you can be relieved.

If she is lucky enough

to be not infected with the smallpox,

even if

she cures the disease of thousands of patients,

it'll be also credited to you.

You think she can cure it?

That's smallpox.

She's not a fairy.

Listen up.

There is only one way

to Qingshan Court,

which is conveniently located.

Your Arm Moral Department must guard the patients

and prevent anyone from coming out.

Yes.

I give her a month.

If the smallpox

hasn't been cured a month later,

start a fire in the court

and burn the patients to death together with Jun Jiuling.

Remember.

Arson

is a last resort.

It's to eradicate the smallpox.

Yes.

They're so shameless.

They couldn't cure His Highness Prince Huai's disease,

so they said he suffered from scrofula.

What should we do now?

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have thought myself clever

and spread how awesome Miss Jun is.

The time limit is one month.

Oh, no.

Don't be depressed.

Now that our Fang family

still exists now,

we can settle it, too.

Your Ladyship,

you have long known that

His Highness Prince Huai didn't

suffer from scrofula at all,

but why didn't you clarify it

but said it was scrofula instead?

At that time, the Imperial Academy of Medicine had drawn the conclusion.

It was useless to clarify it.

Otherwise I would lose

the opportunity to treat His Highness Prince Huai.

So I could only take the wrong and make the best of it.

Your Ladyship,

now the Imperial Academy of Medicine

has recommended you.

They obviously won't interfere in it.

There are so many patients.

How can you cure them alone?

Liu'er,

let's go to ask

if any doctor would like to

cure the smallpox with us in the city.

OK.

Miss Jun,

it's useless.

If it's a common disease,

maybe some doctors will join you,

but it's a matter of life and death.

I don't mean to depress you.

But I'm afraid

you can't even find one.

But we still need to have a try

before giving up.

Jiuling,

it's easy to say

but hard

to do.

Our lives

have been threatened,

so we should be afraid of nothing.

Let's try our best

to save our lives.

Don't talk nonsense.

He's right.

Now we can only

try our best

to keep everyone healthy.

Otherwise

we'll be also dead.

What can I do for you?

Jinxiu,

you and Shopkeeper Liu stay here.

Now manpower

and money

must be required for everything.

Isn't the government supposed to open its purse?

It's urgent,

but the manpower and money of the government

need to be approved step by step.

We can do it faster in this way.

Yes.

Don't worry.

I'll consult with

Shopkeeper Liu about everything.

OK.

Your Ladyship,

where can we find our helpers?

The capital city is so big.

Some doctors must be

willing to go with us.

It's the way to the Baicao Drugstore.

You're going to ask Dr. Feng

who made trouble for us for help?

Hurry up.

OK.

Dr. Jun,

you want me

to go out of the city to cure the smallpox with you?

Yes,

now the situation is urgent,

and there are many patients.

So

I want you to help me.

Miss Jun,

you know my medical skill.

My ancestral skill is mainly bone setting,

and I've never

treated the smallpox,

so it seems that

I can't help you.

I know it.

But no one

had cured the smallpox after all.

Therefore,

the more helpers we have,

and the more contributions we make,

the more hopeful

it will be.

Dr. Jun,

I'm sorry.

I'd like to but I can't do it.

I see, Dr. Feng.

I'm sorry to force you.

I'm leaving.

Dr. Jun,

are you going to

ask for help

one by one later?

Dr. Jun,

I'm afraid it's infeasible.

Only by asking them

can I know if it's infeasible.

Let's go.

Dr. Liu,

this matter is serious.

I'm afraid I can't

do it alone.

So Dr. Liu…

Dr. Jun,

I also want to help you,

but the smallpox is dangerous.

Maybe I'll die of it.

So I really can't help you.

I know it.

Go to ask someone else.

No more words.

See her out. See her out.

Dr. Jun, please.

Go. Go. Go.

Please.

Thank you, Dr. Liu.

I'm so sorry.

I'm not single.

I have a wife

and children.

I really can't help you.

I see.

Dr. Wang.

No. No.

-Please. -I can't.

No.

Please.

You're

a coward!

Your Ladyship,

we've asked every doctor.

What else can we do?

Don't worry.

We'll find another solution.

Let's go.

They've asked 7 doctors,

but no one went out with her.

It's ridiculous.

She really thinks those doctors

are all fools?

If she didn't go to ask for help,

she could still pretend that she can cure it,

but now everyone knows that

she is not sure of treating smallpox.

If they go with her,

they may die.

Maybe

she wants to force those doctors

by virtue of

her previous teaching,

but she has just taught them

for a short time.

Just wait and see.

Now that she likes pushing herself forward,

this time

she can push herself forward with abandon.

Great.

Dr. Jun,

wait a minute.

Dr. Feng,

would you like to go with our lady?

Dr. Jun,

did you tell the other doctors

the same thing you told me?

Yes.

Dr. Jun,

in this case,

no one will go with you.

Why?

You said

no one has cured it yet.

So others all understand

its hidden meaning.

You just need to tell them that

you're short-handed.

Otherwise,

even if you go to all the drugstores

in the capital city,

no one dares to help you.

Thank you for reminding me.

But I can't do so.

I ask them for help,

so I must tell them

the real situation

to let them make a decision after thinking it over.

Since ancient times,

every good prescription

has come from constant exploration

and test.

Otherwise we wouldn't know that

poisonous aconite is usable

and arsenic can be used to save lives.

I know

this matter

is really very risky now.

But I must do it.

Countless people die of smallpox.

It's like the enemies in the northwest.

We're now standing in front of the battlefield.

How can we escape?

Even if,

even if we can't cure the smallpox,

we can still leave some clues

to later generations.

Thank you

for specially coming to tell me these.

I'm going elsewhere to ask others.

Let's go.

Our lady's efforts won't be in vain.

Jinxiu,

why haven't you slept yet?

How's it going?

We had went everywhere in the city,

but no one would like to help us.

Tomorrow morning

Commander Lu will come to pick us up.

What else can we do?

Don't worry.

How is Chen Qi doing over there?

The main streets in the city

have been sprinkled with lime.

Then

he and those from the Imperial Bodyguard Department

went outside the city for arrangement

and won't come back today.

They plan to make preparations overnight.

The herbs you required

were also loaded

and sent to Qingshan Court overnight.

OK.

You've had a tiring day, too.

Go to bed now.

You too.

You still need to go to Qingshan Court tomorrow morning.

Don't worry.

Go.

-Let's go. -Go.

The string stretched for long

will break.

Why are you here?

You'll fight for the people all over the country,

and I'd like to be at your side.

No one will go with you?

I don't know

when we will be back.

They all have wives and children.

I understand them.

It's normal.

You must be very sad.

Actually, I thought about such an ending,

but I still feel so sad

when it does happen.

My father told me that

those who have medical skill save people,

while those who have medical ethics save the world.

I really expect that

some can go with me.

Those who have medical skill save people,

while those who have medical ethics save the world.

You

must be one of the latter.

Yes.

You

will definitely do it.

Only you?

You're going

to die alone there?

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Take good care of yourselves.

I'm leaving.

Let's go.

Dr. Jun!

Dr. Jun!

-We're coming. -We'll go with you.

We're coming.

Let's go together.

Dr. Jun, we're coming.

Dr. Jun,

we're late.

Feng,

it's really risky.

Yeah.

I know it.

Well,

you know it but you still come to persuade me for her?

Because

she is reliable.

Now that she has asked us for help,

she will definitely

save us

if anything happens to us.

I believe in her medical skill.

Liu,

it's smallpox.

Don't you

want to cure it?

Don't you want to be described

in historical records?

Of course I want.

But even if

I want,

it can't come true.

She has stayed in the capital city for so long.

Don't you think

she is a woman of her word?

She said

she can cure the diseases we can't.

Did she do it?

Hundreds of doctors help thousands of people.

She taught us skills

and concealed nothing.

Moreover, her teaching

was so accurate that

we couldn't talk back,

right?

So,

today she said that she can cure the smallpox.

Do you believe her?

I believe.

Liu,

I know

you're an upright man.

Actually, it's

not horrible at all.

Even if we fail,

at the worst,

I'll close my drugstore

but be still alive.

My ancestor

also started

from scratch.

Even if we fail,

we can

start over.

OK,

it's a deal.

Let's see at the gate of Jiuling Drugstore tomorrow.

I'm going to ask others.

OK.

Feng,

let me go with you.

Your Excellency Lu,

we're all here.

Let's set out.
