Episode 21

More than 100 patients have been arranged

in Qingshan Court recently.

By yesterday,

a dozen of them died

and few of them were cured.

Clinics nearby the capital city have reported

one after another that

smallpox is prevailing,

causing

innumerable deaths.

And

according to the report of Arm Moral Department,

Jun Jiuling has tested

on a few cattle

led to Qingshan Court lately.

Doctors of the Imperial Academy of Medicine didn't hear about such a test,

so they don't know whether it works.

It has been nearly half a month.

There're many discussions from the whole court.

They say Jun Jiuling

can be executed to death

for her failure in test

but the delay

causes the spread of smallpox,

which will endanger

the whole capital city.

We can't wait for a month.

Send a secret decree to Lu Yunqi that

I only give Jun Jiuling the last seven days.

If she can't find the way seven days later,

ask him to kill her.

Yes,

Your Majesty.

This is a secret letter I just received.

Miss Jun.

Guo'er.

Wait a moment.

Miss Jun,

you don't wear your veil,

so I can't approach you.

Can you approach me now?

Guo'er,

what's up?

Miss Jun,

my mom said you're the highly skilled doctor who protects us.

You protect my mom and me,

so surely I should protect you.

Why do you

come to me so late?

Where's your mom?

Miss Jun,

please cure

my mom quickly.

She has been crying lately.

She must suffer much pain.

I promise you

I'll let you and your mom

go home healthily,

OK?

Miss Jun.

Miss Jun.

My mom said it can secure people,

so I give it to you.

Test your new medicine on me.

I'm very brave.

Thank you, Guo'er.

Do you know?

You're the same age

as my brother.

Do you miss him?

Yes.

But

we can't go home

and get together with our families

until we eliminate smallpox.

So

you should

receive treatment actively.

Look,

there're fewer smallpox marks on your face.

You may go home soon.

Go back,

or your mom worries about you.

Miss Jun, I'm leaving.

Miss Jun.

Miss Jun.

The new prescription has worked.

Our severe patients here

have shown obvious signs of improvement.

Good.

But there're

more and more new patients

from various places.

I'll try smallpox viruses.

Miss Jun.

Miss Jun,

it's inadmissible.

You should take the general situation into account,

so you can't take the risk.

To cure patients, Shennong tried hundreds of herbs

and Hua Tuo tried Powder for Anesthesia.

And

it's my duty to eliminate smallpox.

We're short of doctors.

Let's

think out other ways.

No need.

I've decided it.

Miss Jun,

think it over.

Jun.

Your Lordship.

Then I'll leave.

Go on with your work.

What's the matter?

I believe

what you said today.

I haven't touched any patients,

so you can test smallpox viruses on me.

No way.

Why?

Stop joking.

I'm not sure I can make it.

If there is any error,

you'll die.

I see.

As I said,

if we're doomed to perdition,

I'll be in.

No way, anyhow.

Don't talk with me.

You have something important to do,

but I also want to do something for the people all over the country.

This isn't your…

Let me finish my words.

As the son of Lord Cheng,

I should set an example.

If the test on me turns effective,

people won't

fear it.

You save them,

and I appease them.

No.

Listen to me in this matter.

What…

Why are you here?

At His Majesty's order,

I come to watch here.

Well then, why

are you here?

Did His Majesty

ask you to eavesdrop

outside a girl's room

at night?

The same to you.

You're also running about

at night.

Your Excellency Lu,

unlike you,

I'm here to talk

about business with her openly.

Tell me

what your business is.

This is the person that you want.

The person I want?

You want

to test smallpox viruses on someone.

He can be tested.

Your Excellency, show mercy to me.

Your Excellency, show mercy to me.

Your Excellency, show mercy to me.

It seems

you're going to show your merit to His Majesty

at the cost of your subordinate's life.

I'm helping you.

Get out of here.

He committed a crime,

so he'll be put in prison sooner or later.

I just

advance his punishment time.

Your Excellency Lu,

what crime did he commit?

Dr. Jun,

Li Ze stole

all the items of the dead patients

you buried in the backyard

when he was on duty

and wanted to sell them down the hill.

Your Excellency Lu,

I did that

out of greediness.

Spare me.

Spare…

If

he sold those items with smallpox viruses

to the capital city,

the consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate.

Isn't it reasonable for me

to let you test on him?

Dr. Jun,

I was wrong.

Dr. Jun.

I was wrong, Dr. Jun.

I was wrong.

I was wrong, Dr. Jun.

I was wrong, Dr. Jun.

I was wrong.

I was wrong, Dr. Jun.

Your Excellency,

I don't force anyone to be tested.

I only test on those volunteers.

Please leave here.

Since so,

I don't need to put such a bum

in prison.

Go.

Spare me, Your Excellency.

Spare me.

Your Excellency, spare me.

Good at small tricks,

your subordinates

are really like you.

All of you should be killed.

He's more useful than you.

Why not

let Dr. Jun test on you?

Your Excellency Lu,

unlike you,

I don't have so many subordinates,

so I can only volunteer to be tested.

Your Lordship.

Your Excellency Lu,

do you

also want to be a volunteer?

Dr. Jun,

you only have the last seven days.

Time is urgent.

You have no choice.

Have you really decided it?

Come on.

Do you do this for me?

My father has devoted himself to the country all his life.

I've inherited

both his blood and virtues.

As his son,

I don't care about high position and great wealth

but the people

all over the country.

People within the capital city are free from the pain of smallpox,

but people outside the capital city

are in peril.

Without a preventive way,

how can I say I'll repay the country?

If you were me,

would you feel relieved?

Come on.

Zhu Zan,

once the smallpox viruses are blown into your body,

I can't control them.

How do

you feel?

I feel a bit thirsty.

Thirsty?

I'd like to eat this.

Orange?

I'll peel one for you.

Reach out your hand.

Your Excellency,

We won't be spared, will we?

♫Early morning♫

Jiuling,

smallpox is terrible.

Luckily, you're a clever girl.

As usual,

you can

eliminate it

and bring those patients back to life.

Miss Jun,

you can get out of the jaws of danger every time.

I'm sure you'll eliminate smallpox this time.

-Go on sleeping. -Miss Jun.

How is he?

I just checked him.

His Lordship has still had a fever.

Luckily, we can see smallpox marks on his body.

Is it

good news?

It's good news

at present.

Miss Jun,

you're tired to take care of patients and His Lordship

these days.

Why not go and have a rest?

I stay here.

You haven't slept.

Go to sleep now.

I'll take care of him.

Miss Jun.

Dr. Jun.

Dr. Jun.

Dr. Jun.

There's a new patient.

What's wrong?

Her symptoms are out of my knowledge,

so I don't know what to do.

Let us go now.

Don't touch his scabs

when bringing his fever down.

Tell me if he has any problem.

OK, Miss Jun.

Let's go.

Dr. Jun, this way.

Here comes Dr. Jun. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Dr. Jun,

this new patient

who keeps foaming at the mouth

is different from other patients in symptom.

She suffers from cold diarrhea.

Don't prescribe periostracum cicada for her,

or her exterior deficiency will worse.

What can we prescribe then?

We should keep her condition steady first.

Use Radix Aucklandiae Powder.

Mill radix aucklandiae into powder, add a cup of water

and boil it to get four-fifths cup of decoction. Go now.

OK, I'll go.

First control her condition.

There have been no deaths recently.

Does it mean we've controlled the smallpox?

Don't let down guard.

Strengthen the monitoring for all patients.

Yes,

I'm Jun Jiuling.

Here is your prescription.

You

never dreamed about her, right?

Who are you actually?

Your Excellency,

it's the deadline tomorrow.

I've prepared

oil wood for ignition.

You can leave.

Yes.

Dr. Feng,

add some ginseng and angelica sinensis

to his Neituo Powder

so that more pus in his smallpox

will be discharged.

Thanks for your help today.

Miss Jun.

Miss Jun.

His Lordship's condition aggravates.

Go and have a check.

Please take care of here for me.

OK.

Zhu Zan.

Zhu Zan.

What happened?

He was well.

But he has felt pain suddenly.

His smallpox viruses haven't been fully discharged.

What does it show?

They're still in his body.

Will His Lordship die?

It depends on him.

He has to fight alone.

Zhu Zan.

Zhu Zan.

Your Lordship.

Zhu Zan.

Zhu Zan.

Zhu Zan.

Your Lordship.

Miss Jun.

Miss Jun, what will you do?

Miss Jun.

Zhu Zan.

Zhu Zan.

I'm beside you.

You promised me

you would save the people all over the country

after you overcame smallpox viruses.

You promised me

you would stay with me this time.

You can't go back

on your word promise.

Zhu Zan.

Jiuling.

Jiuling.

I'm here.

Ling Jiu.

Ling Jiu.

I'm here.

♫Tears well up in my eyes♫

Ling Jiu, promise me

to be safe.

You haven't finished

your Map of Capital City.

The bean curd cakes you introduced aren't tasty at all.

And I want to

eat in that rotisserie

we went to last time.

I'm waiting for you to take me there.

I still have many places to go with you.

I have a lot of words to tell you.

I thought I feared nothing

after narrowly escaping death.

But I'm

very afraid now.

I'm afraid I'll never see you again.

Do you know?

As long as you can come to yourself,

I'll listen to you in everything.

Ling Jiu,

promise me

to come to yourself soon

and tough it out.

I still have lots of words to tell you.

Sorry

to keep you waiting for so long.

I see everything you have done for me.

If you can come to yourself,

I will tell you everything,

okay?

In Zezhou,

you saved me

from a startled horse.

At Jinyun Restaurant,

you saved me

and helped me get rid of the assassin.

At the cliff side of Runan,

you saved me.

When Yuan Bao was nearly spotting me,

you saved me again.

You saved me

when Lu Yunqi made trouble in my drugstore.

Zhu Zan,

you've saved me many times.

Let me save you this time.

Let me save you this time,

okay?

Ling…

Zhu…

Zhu Zan.

Zhu Zan.

You finally came to yourself.

All your smallpox viruses are discharged.

All your smallpox viruses are discharged.

When I was asleep,

you must have often pushed my clothes aside

to check my body.

You're doing this with ease.

Did you hear all that I said?

I don't know.

I had a nightmare,

in which I saw

Jiuling in the big fire.

She must

hurt a lot

at that moment.

Let me wet the towel for you.

Your Excellency Lu.

Chu Jiuling,

you're back.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Surely you know it.

Do you believe reincarnation?

No.

But I believe it.

You're Chu Jiuling.

I'm Jun Jiuling.

Chu Jiuling,

why don't you dare to admit your identity?

I don't know what you mean.

You've long known it.

You're still alive,

aren't you?

You ignore your duties.

Aren't you afraid His Majesty punishes you?

Is it important?

I just care about you.

It has nothing to do with me.

I'm not the one you're looking for.

I'm boiling medicinal materials.

Please don't bother me.

Did Zhu Zan name you Jiuling?

When he was in a coma,

did you admit it?

You ignore your duties

and even like to eavesdrop.

Yes,

I did

admit it.

Even if I'm not Chu Jiuling,

it's forgivable for me

to admit it as he risks his life

trying smallpox viruses for people.

You came here from afar

to open Jiuling Drugstore.

I threatened you to change the name by force many times,

but you refused.

The characters on your prescription

are the same as hers in style.

When I was in the Mansion of Prince Huai,

you seemed more worried

than Her Highness Princess of Jiuli.

Don't try to hide it.

I'm fed up with guess.

Your Excellency Lu,

all is your delusional speculation.

I'm not Chu Jiuling.

I don't need to explain

whatever I do to you.

You can cheat others,

but you can't cheat me.

How can you

let me go?

I won't let you go

this life.

I know you're obsessed with her,

but she's gone.

Anyhow,

she must dislike the way you treat me.

Your Excellency Lu,

be realistic.

Did you fall in love with someone?

Zhu Zan actually survived

from the smallpox viruses test.

Is it

good news?

I'm

slow-witted.

Your Majesty,

I follow

your idea

in this matter.

They eliminate smallpox

and save many people.

Surely it's good news.

Thank God.

Zhu Zan did a deed of great merit.

If I reward him generously,

what will Lord Cheng do?

According to His Lordship's character,

he'll refuse it

and say it's Zhu Zan's duty.

Though he is a military officer,

few people are as sensible as him

in the court.

Throughout the ages,

there have been few military officers

with excellent combat achievements

and widespread fame.

Clever as His Lordship is,

only you can see him through.

Your Majesty,

you're the most sensible person

in the world.

Such people

are the most terrible.

Dr. Jun.

Thank you.

Dr. Jun,

check the ratio of medicinal materials on this prescription.

Is it that prescription we discussed yesterday?

It's workable.

Dr. Jun,

check whether this prescription

lacks any medicinal materials.

Add two more qian of ginseng and angelica sinensis.

Go to handle it.

OK, next.

Take it.

Take it.

Be careful not to burn yourself. Thanks.

Please line up one after another.

Why are you here?

Without a veil, you should go back now.

You…

I tried smallpox viruses.

Do you forget it?

Yes.

How do you feel?

I feel much better.

You haven't slept for several nights.

Thank you.

We're in public.

Don't do this.

I'm checking your smallpox.

Don't misunderstand.

You've recovered obviously.

It seems this prescription is effective.

So did we make it?

Not exactly.

I still need kid volunteers.

Will you also let kids try smallpox viruses?

Yes.

Please do me a favor later.

It's my pleasure.

His Lordship's smallpox

is less dangerous

and terrible.

Remember

to take bright

and big smallpox marks

as samples.

Bright smallpox marks.

I see.

Big smallpox marks.

Then

please take samples

from His Lordship.

OK.

OK.

Don't worry.

Come on.

Come on.

Everyone,

please be gentle.

Don't be afraid.

-Don't worry. -It doesn't hurt at all.

It doesn't hurt at all.

Come on.

Come on.

Jun.

Jun.

Your Majesty.

His Lordship Zhu wants to present himself to you.

What?

Why is he here?

He may bring smallpox here.

Who asked him here?

It's bold for Lu Yunqi

to neglect his duties

and let him out without authorization.

Those guards outside

are also a bunch of bums.

I don't see him.

Let him go.

Your Majesty,

he said

what you worry about

won't happen.

He comes to discuss something important with you.

It's

about the criminal official Zhou Bentang.

Let him in.

Yes.

Those guards

are so thoughtless.

Your Lordship,

just say here.

Your Majesty,

I already overcame smallpox viruses,

so I won't be infected with

or spread smallpox.

Come in.

Yes.

Your Lordship, never mind.

The smallpox

is really terrible.

Did you survive

from smallpox viruses?

It's really good news.

Zhu Zan,

you've done a deed of great merit.

It's not

my merit,

but Dr. Jun's.

I'll

reward both of you.

Your Majesty,

I don't come to ask for reward.

I have something to bother you.

Please allow me

to take away Zhou Bentang's descendants.

Why?

Let them try smallpox viruses

in Qingshan Court.

The kids of the Zhou family…

They did commit

the capital crime of betraying our country.

If you take out

their descendants,

they have

the hope to survive.

Your Majesty, you're insightful.

I do so to find a way to eliminate smallpox

rather than out of selfish motives.

Didn't you survive from smallpox viruses?

Your Majesty,

yes, I did.

But it's a successful test on the adult.

There are physical differences between kids and adults,

so the dosage and treatment vary.

So,

we still need to make a test.

There're many condemned prisoners.

You may choose two.

Why do you

choose kids of the Zhou family?

Your Majesty,

Dr. Jun said

she needs

kid volunteers under 10 this time.

In the dead cell,

only Zhou Bentang's descendants

are qualified.

Your Lordship,

it's easy.

Buy two kids

on the border market.

Your Majesty,

it's unfeasible.

The kids on the border market

are healthy.

If we're censured by people

due to failure,

it'll affect Your Majesty's fame.

Descendants of the Zhou family are doomed to be executed to death.

It's more meaningful

to let them die

for the smallpox viruses test.

It's you who go to buy kids from the border market.

It won't affect His Majesty's fame.

Stop arguing.

It isn't a big deal.

I agree

to your request.

As long as you can eliminate smallpox,

more kids will be saved.

Go and lead them.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'll

leave.

Miss Jun,

this is the prescription of restorative medicinal materials

I prepare as you ordered.

Come.

Look.

It's feasible.

Prepare more.

OK.

Go.

He who left Qingshan Court without authorization

has to be killed

for disobedience to the imperial decree.

Your Excellency Lu, what brings you here?

You know it.

I'm discussing

with them in the hall,

so I don't know.

OK.

Call Zhu Zan out.

I have something to ask him.

Since you want to see His Lordship,

go and find him.

Why do you come to ask me?

Won't you

call him out?

So did

we make it?

Not exactly.

I still need kid volunteers.

Will you also let kids try smallpox viruses?

Does

he go to find kid volunteers?

Since you all help Zhu Zan,

you'll be executed to death

due to disobedience to the imperial decree.
