Episode 22

Danfengmen

Ning Mansion

Jiuling Drugstore

Since you all help Zhu Zan,

you'll be executed to death

due to disobedience to the imperial decree.

Stop.

Your Excellency Lu,

now that you come to inquire about him,

you must know that

he's not here.

You guard here by order of His Majesty.

Now he is missing,

so you should also be to blame for it.

Should I praise you

for your eloquence

or blame you

for the neglect of work?

Dr. Jun works hard and has made a great contribution.

What crime did she commit?

Your Lordship.

Yunqi,

do you know them?

You bring them here.

I took them out of the dead cell

by order

of His Majesty.

Yunqi,

I have two imperial decrees now.

You can do nothing to me.

Come on.

Your Lordship,

they're…

They're kids who can try the smallpox viruses.

What?

They try the smallpox viruses?

They're the descendants of Grand Guardian Zhou.

But…

If they're sent back,

they can only be beheaded in autumn.

I asked His Majesty,

and His Majesty promised to

pardon them

if they survive from the smallpox viruses test.

Come on.

Tell them

what your names are.

I'm Zhou Jing,

from Zhending.

My grandfather is

Zhou Bentang.

Zhou,

Zhou Bentang?

The one who collaborated

with the enemy and rebelled?

Collaboration is a great crime,

but kids

are innocent.

But my grandfather neither cooperated with the enemy

nor rebelled.

He didn't. He didn't.

He didn't.

He was framed.

But I can

only save them.

Boy,

it's very dangerous to try smallpox viruses.

You…

Sister,

just let us try.

Maomao,

say something.

Sister,

let me try.

Dr. Jun,

they're so sensible.

Please

let them survive.

Yeah.

Thank you for your trust.

I assure you that

other doctors and I

will try our best to protect you

to live up to the efforts made by His Lordship

who took you out of the dead cell.

Doctors,

I believe in your ability.

Please try your best.

It's our duty.

It's our duty.

Your Excellency,

won't we really interfere in it?

They're the descendants of Zhou Bentang.

I'm sorry.

Your Excellency,

do we still need

the oil wood for ignition?

No.

Why are you here?

You haven't slept for some days.

I'm afraid you'll hurt your nerves.

You care about me so much?

When I

suffered from unbearable pains on that night,

you accompanied me all night.

And Chen Qi said that

to take care of me, you had no time to sleep for some days.

Taste it.

I cooked it.

You risked your life trying the smallpox viruses.

How could I sleep?

This long battle finally ends.

We can have a good rest.

We're so tired.

Right?

Taste it. Taste it.

How does it taste?

This is

the worst ginseng soup

I've ever had in my life.

Don't drink it.

It doesn't matter.

You'll have more chances

to taste it in the future.

Zhu Zan,

thank you.

Jun,

don't lose your heart

to me.

Dr. Jun,

thank you for saving us.

You're welcome.

Get up please.

Dr. Jun

and other doctors

are benevolent

and have excellent medical skills.

You're really highly skilled doctors in the world.

Yeah.

You're highly skilled doctors.

Thank you, Miss Jun.

Guo'er,

your filial piety touched God,

so you and your mom

could get better so quickly.

In the future,

be the strongest girl,

OK?

Dr. Jun came up with the cure for smallpox.

His Lordship tried the smallpox viruses personally.

And the doctors

racked their brains.

They've made great contributions.

Let's kowtow to the doctors

to thank them.

-Thank you, Dr. Jun. -Please get up.

Get up.

Get up, please.

Get up.

You saved my life.

Thank you for saving me,

Your Lordship.

What I did

is negligible.

These doctors behind me

are the saviors.

In the future,

you should learn from them,

understand?

Everyone,

your current health

is the best reward for us.

I once said that

I would restore you.

So it's the greatest consolation

to us that you won't be tortured

by smallpox anymore.

Dr. Jun,

without you,

I could not meet

my families again.

I can't repay you

for your great grace.

Yeah.

You're welcome.

If you must thank someone,

you should thank yourselves.

Because your trust

and persistence

made us cure the smallpox.

You're

the real greatest meritorious men.

Yeah.

Your Lordship

risked your life trying the smallpox viruses,

and the two generations of the Lord's Mansion are loyal.

You

convince me.

You all have recovered,

and your families

are waiting for you.

Go back home.

Thank you, brother. Thank you, Dr. Jun.

Thank you, Dr. Jun.

Go. Go back home.

Go back home.

Go back early.

Go back home.

Go back home.

Thank you, doctors.

See you.

Take care, doctors.

Let's go.

Jun.

Thank you.

Thank you for your efforts.

Thank you.

Thank you for your efforts.

The majority have entered the city,

and Young Master Fang has made full preparations.

They said that they would be back today.

But Her Ladyship hasn't come back yet.

Where are they?

Chen Qi hasn't come back, either.

When I see him,

he'll suffer.

I kept overlooking

on the gate tower

and fixed my eyes on the distance,

but I didn't see Her Ladyship.

Other doctors were warmly welcomed by people,

but where is the most meritorious one?

Where is Her Ladyship?

What should I do?

What were you talking about?

You're back.

-Your Ladyship. -Jiuling.

Your Ladyship.

When did you come back, Your Ladyship?

Why didn't you come back with them?

Why didn't you tell us early?

We could go to meet you.

You asked me so many questions.

Which one should I answer?

I'm just worried about you

and miss you so much.

Don't worry.

You can be relieved.

I'm back.

Shopkeeper Liu.

Your Ladyship.

Just now His Ladyship Fang said that

when she sees Chen Qi,

he will…

Suffer!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I

won't make you worried again.

Why didn't you tell us before you came back?

We were all worried.

Miss Jun knew that

Young Master Fang would spread her merit today

and many people would go to welcome us

when we entered the city.

She doesn't like fuss,

so we decided to

come back by ourselves.

But

I wasted Chengyu's kindness.

No.

Whatever you do is right.

Young Master Fang won't blame you.

In fact, there is no need to spread it.

Jiuling cured the smallpox successfully.

So our Jiuling Drugstore

will naturally be well-known.

Damn!

The Jiuling Drugstore

pushes itself again.

There was only one day left

before the deadline,

but they succeeded.

Now

even people from Runan

and Zezhou

take their children

to ask the Jiuling Drugstore to vaccinate them.

The vaccination

is important

and involves the people all over the country.

How can she be

in charge of it alone?

So I'll ask His Majesty

to allow our Imperial Academy of Medicine to take it over.

Yeah.

With time going,

others will think that

it's our Imperial Academy of Medicine that

takes charge of it.

But Jun Jiuling is hard to deal with.

Will she teach us

the cure for smallpox?

His majesty will summon her

for the vaccination in a few days.

As an ordinary woman,

she will definitely be scared when seeing His Majesty.

By then

I'll propose it in the court.

I think

she will have no courage

to refuse in front of His Majesty.

Yeah.

Your Ladyship,

you get thin.

The dessert you like.

Have one.

I'm all right.

But Chen Qi

was tired.

Without his help,

I would have been very busy.

I didn't help a lot.

Young Master Fang is so smart.

He spread the merit of Her Ladyship

in Runan and Zezhou in advance.

He trusts you

very much,

so he did so.

Since I left the Fang's mansion,

I indeed made many troubles

for grandma and aunt.

I can understand it.

So

do others.

What he did is risky.

If someone accuses

the Fang family of befogging the minds of the people

by this matter,

it'll be a great crime.

Yeah.

I must write to him.

Your Ladyship,

if you don't need my help,

I'm going back to make preparations

for entering the imperial palace tomorrow.

Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu.

Your Ladyship,

don't worry.

It won't cause any trouble.

You still need to enter the imperial palace tomorrow.

After entering the imperial palace,

I can see Chu Rang again.

Riding a horse under the moon is joyous.

Why are you worried?

You're still worried about entering the imperial palace?

Jun,

why do you

enter the imperial palace?

Sometimes I feel

I've known you for a long time

and I'm very familiar with you.

But when I almost see you through,

I feel you have

a lot of secrets

and become a vexatious enigma.

I returned to the capital city to revenge.

For Princess Jiuling

and my father.

You finally open your mind to me.

I know you have many secrets.

It doesn't matter.

From now on,

if you don't want to tell me,

I won't ask you.

But I'll definitely accompany you

to do what you want to do.

Sedum.

Rain can't

make their light go out.

Wind makes

their color brighter.

The fireflies

flying in the sky,

are like stars beside the moon.

Sedum is really a good herb.

On such a nice night,

you only see the herds?

Yeah.

Sedum can remove heat from the liver and improve vision.

It's indeed a good herb.

You're really not an ordinary woman.

So what is an ordinary woman like?

How beautiful fireflies!

Forget it. Forget it. Forget it.

It's disgusting.

I can't bear it.

Miss Jun,

nobody

can surpass you in vaccination in this world.

Why do you

ask me to enter the imperial palace with you?

Because I need your favor in something.

Dr. Feng,

take it easy.

Don't be nervous.

Dr. Jun,

entering the imperial palace is an event.

Why aren't you nervous at all?

You seem to come back your home.

Dr. Jun,

please.

Let's go.

OK.

Here is my respect,

Your Majesty.

Get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You cured the smallpox in Qingshan Court,

which is equivalent

to the great victory in a war.

It's the luck of our country.

You made a great contribution,

so I'll reward you.

I can't claim credit for myself.

The success of curing the smallpox

depended on the favorable, geographical and human conditions.

First,

Your Majesty's self-discipline and social commitment

touched God.

This is the favorable condition.

It was convenient to treat patients by area

in the spacious Qingshan Court.

This is the geographical condition.

Meanwhile,

many doctors and His Lordship

who was willing to try the smallpox viruses helped me.

This is the human condition.

You're modest.

You invented

the cure for smallpox,

so you rendered the greatest merit.

Your Majesty.

I want to

consult Dr. Jun about something.

These rats

want to profit at her expense.

Well,

just see how she will deal with it.

Go ahead.

Your Majesty,

the cure for smallpox

is the luck of our court.

But

there are few doctors who can vaccinate,

and most of them gather in the capital city.

So we should carefully think

how to popularize it in various regions.

Do you have any suggestions?

In my opinion,

our Imperial Academy of Medicine can be in charge of it,

and local clinics

can send doctors

to the capital city to learn the cure for smallpox.

Dr. Jun checks their learning effect,

and those qualified ones will go back to popularize the cure for smallpox in different areas

to prevent the people of our dynasty

from being infected with smallpox.

Yeah.

Your Majesty,

I agree

with Imperial Doctor Jiang.

What do you think about it, Dr. Jun?

Your Majesty,

I disagree.

Miss Jun must see His Majesty now.

She cured smallpox.

Doctors Imperial Academy of Medicine

don't dare to make difficulties for her.

Given her eloquence,

she won't be stumped.

She is

flexible.

In this meeting,

those imperial doctors

may rob her of her cure for smallpox.

If so,

will Miss Jun agree

or disagree to it?

Yes.

No.

The Jiuling Drugstore is a common drugstore,

but the Imperial Academy of Medicine was set up by the court,

so His Majesty must

want the cure for smallpox

to belong to the court.

Jun is weak,

so it'll be hard for her to refuse.

But

if she agrees,

that goes against her style.

Dr. Jun,

don't you want to

make the cure public?

Imperial Doctor Jiang,

it's doctors' pleasure to treat the patients all over the world,

so I certainly would like

to make it public

and want all the doctors

to learn it.

But

I don't want them to learn it via the Imperial Academy of Medicine

but doctors who worked in Qingshan Court.

You don't trust

doctors of the Imperial Academy of Medicine?

You misunderstand me.

Vaccination

requires practice

and can't be taught orally.

But

now smallpox was eradicated in the capital city.

Unless there's another smallpox outbreak

in which the doctors of the Imperial Academy of Medicine

popularize the cure,

after learning it.

But…

How can it be?

This…

How can she do so?

Ingrate.

Your Majesty,

that's why I

disagreed with Imperial Doctor Jiang.

She doesn't panic in the court at all.

She can't be underestimated.

What do you think we should do?

Your Majesty,

Dr. Feng is a famous doctor

who has run a clinic for decades in the capital city.

Widely praised,

and

he has made great contributions

to the success of curing smallpox.

So I recommend

Dr. Feng to be in charge

of the assessment and popularization of the cure for smallpox.

Local governments

can send their doctors to learn it,

and Dr. Feng will lead doctors

who know the cure

to teach them.

You invent

the cure for smallpox,

so it's better for you

to be in charge of it.

Your Majesty,

first, I'm too young

to convince the public.

Second,

Dr. Feng has more experience

in vaccination than I do.

A young woman

also knows how to avoid the spotlight?

OK.

But you must

supervise them.

OK.

Thank Your Majesty for great grace.

Get up.

This is not my reward to you.

You should

thank her.

Dr. Jun

is really amazing.

At such a young age,

you don't claim credit for yourself and become arrogant.

You're really awesome.

Chu Rang is suspicious.

If I don't ask for anything,

he must doubt my intention.

Your Majesty, I'm flattered.

Actually,

I do have a small request.

Please promise me.

What's your request?

I'll promise you.

I don't want money,

but if

Your Majesty can confer a title on me,

it can be regarded as a consolation to my ancestors' perseverance

in practicing medicine.

How dare you!

As a doctor,

how can you ask for a title?

His Majesty is benevolent.

Even if you cure the smallpox,

how can you

make requests unscrupulously?

It's my fault.

Please punish me.

Minister Huang, don't be angry.

I think

Dr. Jun's request

is reasonable.

I

promote you to the County Princess,

with the title

of Shanyang.

I, Jun Jiuling

thank Your Majesty for great grace.

Dr. Jun,

you're not a common woman now.

I,

County Princess Shanyang,

thank Your Majesty for great grace.

Your Majesty,

Their Highnesses

are waiting for Dr. Jun to vaccinate them.

Go.

Dr. Jun,

they're coming.

Jun.

Dr. Feng,

I'll go to see you

for the vaccination tomorrow.

OK.

Then I'm leaving.

Take care.

Sister, I miss you.

I also miss you.

Why do you

come to see me today?

Get up.

What's up?

Sister,

we'll leave.

Don't worry.

I've found a place for them.

Well,

Zhou Jing, Maomao,

remember to

take good care of yourselves

in the future

even if I'm not at your side.

Understand?

Yes.

Yes.

I'll always remember

your bravery and goodness

in Qingshan Court.

You must keep them in the future.

Miss Jun,

if you really like them,

just acknowledge them as your sons.

Can I call you adopted mother?

Then you're my adopted father.

You're my adopted mother.

-Adopted father. -Adopted mother.

Don't talk nonsense.

It's late.

They should leave.

Come on.

Say goodbye to your adopted parents.

Adopted father,

adopted mother,

take care.

We're leaving.

I wish you a safe journey.

Am I so old?

He called me adopted father.

What's wrong with you?

I'm fine.

I just suddenly

want to cry.

What do you want to say to me?

No.

Jun Jiuling

is different from how others think about her.

Given your understanding of her,

is her behavior

in the court false

or true?

I think

it's false.

In Qingshan Court,

I had

few contacts with her,

but

I know

she is more impolite

at ordinary times.

Her behavior obviously shows that

she longs for power and influence.

What do you think about it?

In the court,

she still dared to make such a request,

so it should be true.

Have all the princes been vaccinated?

Your Majesty,

Their Highnesses

all have been vaccinated

except for the Third Prince.

His Highness

has had a cough recently.

Dr. Jun said

only those who are in good health can be vaccinated.

So

His Highness can't be vaccinated

until he gets better.

Doctors from different prefectures

almost have acquired the cure,

except Dr. Liu's learners.

Two of his vaccinators

are not proficient,

but they can also go back after going on practicing

for 1 or 2 days.

It seems that everything goes well.

Yeah.

The list is posted!

What are they looking at?

It's bustling there.

Today is

March 18.

The Imperial Academy posted the list.

It's my name.

The exam of the Ministry of Rites is over?

-Yes. -I'm curious about Childe Ning's place

in the exam.

Your Ladyship, let's go to have a look.

Then,

I'm going to see Dr. Liu.

Thank you, Dr. Feng.

OK.

Let's go.

Look. Is this my name?

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Look. Look.

-Excuse me. Excuse me. -My name is there.

My name is on the list.

On the list!

On the list!

Childe Ning's name is on the list!

Great!

You're one of the top three in the exam of the Ministry of Rites,

but it's not the final imperial exam,

so your final ranking is still unknown.

I see.

I don't comment on these articles.

You polish them.

Let's talk about them in detail after I come back.

Yes,

uncle.

Ding,

how is it going in Qingshan Court?

Young Master,

you were busy with the exam,

so His Excellency Ning didn't allow me to tell you.

Her Ladyship Jun

cured the smallpox

and went downhill with others.

She is always able

to save the day.

Did Miss Jun return to the Jiuling Drugstore?

Yes.

Moreover,

His majesty summoned her

and promoted her

to County Princess Shanyang.

His Excellency Ning

was also on the spot.

Didn't he

tell you?

Uncle doesn't want me to have contact with her,

so he didn't tell me.

Well,

if madam knows it,

she won't definitely let me off.

Don't worry.

I won't tell her.

Thank you, Young Master.

Young Master,

here's your gift.

Put it down.

Young Master,

this is Miss Jun's gift for you.

She behaves above board

and sincerely.

She surpasses me.

You have studied hard

for a dozen years.

You standing here

are all pillars,

and Ning Yunzhao is the top of you

with extraordinary talent,

so he is No. 1.

I hope you will make persistent efforts

and make our country prosperous and stable.

Look.

Look there.

Jinxiu,

can I go out to get some air?

Of course.

Why do you ask me?

Now

Chen Qi

only listens to

Lady Jinxiu.

I don't mean it.

It's because he is unreliable.

But Chen Qi dealt with everything

very well

in Qingshan Court,

and Jinxiu seems to know it.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I'm unfamiliar with him.

I don't know it.

Unfamiliar?

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

His Excellency Lu comes!

Why does he come again?
