Episode 28

Jiuling Drugstore

Danfengmen

Lord Cheng's wife Yu Lan

Your Excellency,

I've sent them

to Ghost Hand as you required.

How will we

explain it if His Majesty or the Imperial Academy of Medicine

asks about them?

A prisoner

suffered from a serious disease,

and Imperial Doctor Jiang

was always responsible,

so

he lived in the prison.

Do you know

what to say about the rest?

Imperial Doctor Jiang did his best to treat the prisoner

but suffered from an incurable disease in the prison

and then died.

You can go.

You shouldn't try to hurt my woman.

Your Excellency,

Miss Jun has left Zezhou

and headed north.

I don't think

she would bring too many men on the way.

I will take some people

to bring Miss Jun back for you.

But

you must do it

after she settles the problem.

Yes.

Let's go.

Your Majesty,

please let me

return to the North.

How dare you talk about the war!

OK,

let me show you something.

This one

accuses your father

of delay of military plan.

Read it.

This one

accuses your father

of cheating and disloyalty.

This one accuses you and your father

of occupying and spending the military expenditure in expanding your mansion.

You can read them.

How dare you mention the war?

Do you want to take this opportunity

to go on occupying the military expenditure?

Read them.

Read!

Read them carefully!

All are to impeach you and your father.

I trust you,

so I don't believe the contents in these memorials.

How could you repay me in this way?

No wonder people in the North say that

there is an emperor in the South,

while there is Lord Cheng in the North.

Your Zhu's army

is really awesome!

Your Majesty,

these rumors

are baseless.

You're the guardian god and the belief

of the North.

People always say,

without you,

my father won't be there

guarding the peace and prosperity of the North.

Your Majesty,

my father Zhu Shan is dedicated.

He'll risk his life for the court at any time.

He is loyal.

Your Majesty,

you're wise.

Don't hear and believe slanders.

That's what you say!

Tell me.

Don't you know

why I kept you in the capital city?

Do you know?

I'm trying to shut up those

who have impeached you.

I want to make them believe that

as you're under my control,

your father will be afraid.

I put on a show for them.

Your Majesty.

Fine.

Go to feed horses

in the Pasturage Department.

Your Majesty,

I want to redeem myself by good service.

I want to go out to battle with my father.

I want to go out to battle with my father.

I want to go out to battle with my father.

I want to go out to battle with my father.

Miss Jun,

those of Arm Moral Department are following us.

They've done

nothing to us so far.

Just let them be.

What should we do?

Return to Zezhou?

Keep heading north.

We managed to come here.

I want to check if it's alright with the vaccine.

Lady Jinxiu,

Miss Jun sent a letter here.

Well,

let me have a look.

What,

what did she say?

Is it

about the vaccine?

Something went wrong with the vaccine,

but it has nothing

to do with ours.

It's false.

False?

What,

what's the matter?

Blinded by greed,

several doctors

who know how to vaccinate,

extracted vaccine from those

who got vaccinated.

However, they did it in a wrong way.

With strong toxicity,

the vaccine went wrong.

I see.

Luckily, it's solved.

Yes. Yes.

Luckily, it's solved.

Luckily, it's solved.

His Majesty doesn't let me go back,

but I must go back.

If you go out now,

more people will want to kill you.

Zan,

be careful.

By the way,

how about the vaccine in the southwestern Hebei?

Miss Jun has solved it,

but

she is missing.

I think she is

hiding from those of Lu Yunqi.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

Someone is calling you.

I'll let you know

as soon as I get her news.

How troublesome she is!

Coming.

Your Excellency,

the princess is fine.

She just got a cold.

I'll take good care

of the princess.

Don't make any mistakes.

Don't worry.

I'll try my best.

I'll prescribe now.

Your Highness

needs to take good care of yourself,

even if

it's for His Highness Prince Huai.

He has lost Jiuling.

He can't afford to lose you.

I know.

Back then,

did Jiuling

ask you to take care of us?

No.

Then I have to be grateful to you.

Please have more rest.

Jiuling,

Princess Jiuli

thanked me for taking care of her and Jiurong.

She asked if you asked me to do that.

If you know that

I have done all this for you,

will you be moved?

Fine.

As I like you,

I'll try my best

to catch anyone

who is a bit like you.

I won't miss them.

Old Master,

His Excellency Yu is here.

Let him in.

Minister Huang,

thank you for your strategy.

It seems that

we'll get

the three counties in Zhending soon.

You got benefit

in this deal,

but

I got nothing.

Lord Cheng

wasn't killed by Beiqi.

He even defeated Beiqi

and recovered Hejian Prefecture.

Minister Huang,

we were sure that

we would get Hejian Prefecture.

However,

Lord Cheng

rushed to the rescue quickly.

Your handwriting

lives up to its reputation.

You can write beautiful regular scripts in Academy Style.

I admire you.

I admire you.

We still want to

make up with you,

so please

pass that on.

Zhu Zan

killed my son.

I'll make him and his father pay with their lives.

I wanted to kill Zhu Zan

through Lu Yunqi,

but it was in vain.

You want peace as you lost.

Who will

avenge my son?

His Excellency Junior Huang

was nice to me,

but

I can't go against the imperial order.

If you want to make peace at this time,

the credit will go to Lord Cheng.

In this case,

Lord Cheng will be known

not only in the North,

but also around the country.

What do you mean?

Whether you offer counties,

money or treasures,

they're external wealth.

You're

in good faith,

but that's far from enough.

Dare you

fight to death?

Express your sincerity

with lives

of Beiqi generals and soldiers.

It's such a big thing

that I can't decide.

Leave it to His Majesty.

A long delay may cause trouble.

Be quick.

Yes.

Minister Huang,

I'm

leaving.

I'll go north.

Your Ladyship,

are we going to travel again?

I wonder where we're going first.

Your Ladyship,

something happened.

Beiqi has waged

a war against our country.

Wage a war?

Beiqi has thrown down the gauntlet.

It has gathered its generals and soldiers

and attacked from east and west.

Lord Cheng has ordered

all prefectures to prepare for war.

The Yongxing Army and the Guangcheng Army

are currently being mobilized.

People's life

goes as usual.

They have reserved food

and reduced going out

as required,

but

the North

is not as peaceful as before.

We'd better not go north

for the time being.

Yes.

It'll be dangerous once the war is started.

Your Ladyship,

why don't we turn back?

Whether to Zezhou

or the capital city,

we'll follow you.

No.

In this case,

we must go to the North

and visit all prefectures.

Only when the vaccination is arranged

can Lord Cheng

fight again the enemies

without worrying the people.

But we...

-We… -Just do it.

Go pack things now.

We'll leave today.

Yes.

I didn't expect the war has become stalemated.

Get ready to move.

Gather those

of the Sky Pavilion in the southwestern Hebei.

We'll meet there.

How will you get out?

I have my ways.

Zan,

there is news of Miss Jun.

She went north from Qingyuan Prefecture.

Go find out about her first

and then meet us.

OK.

Minister Huang,

this is a jade seal that the emperor of Beiqi

asked skilled craftsmen to make.

You can use it after all is done.

Please have a look.

Do you like it?

It's too early

to talk about that.

The war situation

is unfavorable to Beiqi.

Lord Cheng is so brave.

We suffered heavy losses

in the battle in Xiongzhou.

I know

you can't handle him.

That's why we need your strategy.

Raid Kaide Prefecture.

It's

the sore spot of my country.

His Majesty will

recall Zhu Shan for help.

If he doesn't come back,

he acts against the order.

If he comes back...

Good idea.

Minister Huang, it's a good idea.

As soon as I go back,

I'll start a military action.

Be quick.

Don't worry.

It'll be foolproof.

As

the prime minister,

I feel sorry

for my country.

With civil and military skills,

you should be

the emperor of the country.

Governor,

remember.

I must get Zhu Shan and his son killed.

Don't expose your wound to water these days.

Be sure to wrap it up.

Your Ladyship,

here is Fuxi powder.

Right.

Give him Siwu powder

and decoct it with 1.5g of pseudo-ginseng

to take the decoction.

OK.

Fuxi powder.

Well.

Be careful.

-Let me support you. -Thanks, Dr. Jun.

Take this.

Your Ladyship,

those seriously injured have been arranged properly.

The vaccination has begun

over there.

OK. Thanks.

Liu'er,

conditions are tough here.

-Be careful. -You've worked hard.

I like

working with you.

Go.

Let's check over there.

Dr. Jun. Dr. Jun. Dr. Jun.

Dr. Jun is here.

It's my turn.

Dr. Jun.

Fellow citizens,

Lord Cheng asked me

to vaccinate you.

He knows clearly

your sufferings

and fear

in the intrusion,

so he specially

asked me to cure you here.

This is the blessing

of the people and the North.

Now

I've taught local doctors

how to vaccinate.

Please cooperate with them on the treatment.

Thanks, Dr. Jun.

His Highness Lord Cheng is so kind.

He is so kind.

Thanks, Dr. Jun.

Don't stand on ceremony.

Living in the North,

we're one big family.

Let's continue the vaccination.

Kids under 10 come first.

Well. Please.

Liu'er,

go help Mr. Lei.

OK.

Betel nut tastes bitter.

It's warm, astringent and non-toxic.

It promotes digestion and relieves diuresis.

It can eliminate phlegm, kill worms,

cure hidden diseases

and kill pinworm. It grows in the south coast.

What are you doing, Mr. Lei?

Miss Jun said,

after years of wars in the North,

food and drinking water here

have become so dirty.

In addition, there is miasma.

The people are certainly

breeding diseases and worms.

Betel nuts

can promote qi, kill worms,

eliminate accumulation and relieve diuresis.

It's a good medicine supplement.

Now that

Miss Jun has left the important task

of sorting medicinal materials to me,

I must not make mistakes.

I need to know the efficacy

of these herbs.

You're so attentive.

Your Majesty,

we can't let Kaide Prefecture fall.

Back then, Beiqi

attacked from there

and went all the way south

to surround the capital city.

Nobody could rescue.

The then emperor's father was captured.

At last,

he died in Beiqi.

Are they

going to

repeat it?

Your Majesty,

please order Lord Cheng

to protect Kaide Prefecture.

The same route.

The same strategy.

What a coincidence!

Your Majesty, please don't.

Lord Cheng is fighting

against Beiqi in the North.

If he is recalled at this point,

the North

will be trampled upon at will.

Minister Ning,

you mean we can ignore

the safety of the capital city?

I don't mean that.

Minister Huang, don't take this out of context.

I care about Your Majesty.

It's all for your safety.

Your Majesty, please recall

Lord Cheng to protect Kaide Prefecture.

Your Majesty,

even if you don't worry about your safety,

think about all the people in the city.

Your Majesty.

Please recall Lord Cheng to protect Kaide Prefecture.

Please recall Lord Cheng to protect Kaide Prefecture.

Yaozi Pass.

Qingpa River.

Liangcheng City.

The capital of my country.

It's risky to raid

Kaide Prefecture alone.

It doesn't seem like

fighting to get into the interior.

What a coincidence!

All marching routes

are like those

in the third year of the Taiyan period.

They want to

disturb the morale of our army.

What's wrong with the horses?

The horses are running away.

They're running away.

Stop them.

Hurry up.

I can't.

Don't let them run away.

Someone.

Stop them.

Someone.

Stop them.

Stop them.

Chase them.

Order

Lord Cheng

to dispatch troops immediately

to protect Kaide Prefecture.

Your Majesty,

I think

you can issue more edicts

to show your reliance on Lord Cheng

and to let him know that

it's serious,

so he'll return immediately.

Then issue another

two,

three...

No.

Issue ten edicts.

Your Majesty is wise.

Zhu,

Zhu Zan ran away.

Your Majesty,

Zhu Zan ran away.

How useless!

How can they let him run away?

What happened?

The horses were startled,

so he chased them.

However, as he whistled all the way,

the horses

followed him.

The horses

didn't fear swords and arrows.

Zhu Zan hid in them,

so no one could catch him.

Your Excellency,

it's my fault.

Though we were careful,

we didn't expect that

he ran away like this.

Pleas punish me.

Let it go

this time.

Do something for me.

Your Excellency,

what's your order?

Your Majesty has sent orders around the country.

Son of Lord Cheng fled to escape punishment.

Whoever sees him

can catch him.

Yes.

I'll notify men of all departments.

Your Ladyship.

OK.

Your Ladyship,

they've followed us all the way.

How persevering!

Let them go.

They've done nothing to us

all the way.

The North is uneasy now.

Take them as our body guards.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Protect madame.

Go.

Go.

Go.

There's a fight down there.

Your Ladyship,

shall we avoid it?

Help them.

Get on the horse.

Get on the horse.

Your Ladyship, be careful.

Your Excellency,

what should we do?

Laoba,

find a chance to escape,

or we'll be killed here.

Don't worry, madame.

I'll keep you safe.

Protect madame.

Laoba.

Madame Yu.

Leave.

Run.

I'm fine.

Be careful.

Madame.

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship, are you alright?

I'm fine.

Are you alright?

What's wrong, madame?

Well, be careful.

Well.

Madame,

your feet may hurt a bit these days.

Hold on.

If it doesn't hurt,

it'll be troublesome.

Leave it to me.

Well.

Be careful.

Are you alright?

Yes.

What's your surname, young lady?

My surname is Jun.

Miss Jun.

Where are you going, madame?

Daming Prefecture.

He wasn't a robber.

He just killed and robbed us of nothing.

I think he was

from Beiqi.

Miss Jun.

Please wait, madame.

Mr. Lei,

what's going on there?

Your Ladyship,

they weren't robbers,

but Beiqi soldiers in disguise.

I see.

That makes sense.

Mr. Lei,

change our route to Daming Prefecture.

Daming Prefecture?

Yes.

Why?

I have no time to explain.

I'll tell you later.

Get ready and go.

OK.

Go

Everyone,

Clean up now

and get ready to go.

Madame,

I'll escort you to Daming Prefecture.

It seems that

you have no other choice now.

Your Excellency Jin,

thank you all the way.

What do you mean, Miss Jun?

I wonder when His Excellency Lu

will capture me to the capital city.

You misunderstand.

I don't mean to do that.

So you're escorting me.

In this case,

I have to trouble you in the following journey.

Coming.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Hurry up.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Is it ready?

A moment. A moment.

Well, here you are.

Pour.

Why are you crying?

Pour.

Give me one.

Beauty,

let me have a look.

Let me have a look.

Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Pour. Pour. Pour.

Pour.

Fill it. Fill it.

Is it ready?

A moment. A moment.

Be patient.

I haven't eaten.

Someone is there.

Run.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Where is Baotang?

He gathered brothers in northwest

and went to Kaide Prefecture directly.

No news of Miss Jun.

Let's go

to Kaide Prefecture.

He has refused

ten of my edicts.

Damn Zhu Shan!

Your Majesty,

please punish

Zhu Shan, Lord Cheng,

for being treacherous.

Your Majesty,

please punish

Zhu Shan, Lord Cheng,

for being overbearing.

Your Majesty,

please punish

Zhu Shan

for being overbearing.

Your Majesty,

as Zhu Zan escaped,

Lord Cheng fears nothing.

How dare they

do that!

Your Majesty,

I've sent out wanted orders around the country.

We'll catch Zhu Zan

as soon as possible.

Your Majesty,

we just see that as his son

escaped,

Lord Cheng fears nothing.

But think about it.

As son of Lord Cheng escaped to the North,

the wanted orders will spread all over the country.

It's dangerous to him.

As a father,

the easiest choice for Lord Cheng

is to send troops back to defend.

Thus, your edicts will be obeyed

and his son will be saved.

It's the best way to achieve both.

But Lord Cheng

doesn't mind that his son

is in danger.

He just sees that

if he leads troops back to defend,

the North will be in chaos,

the people there will suffer

and the country will be destroyed.

Your Majesty,

Lord Cheng

seems to go against you,

but he is actually refusing to do

what a father should do.

He puts the North above everything,

Your Majesty.

It's alright now.

You mean

I'm inferior

to Lord Cheng.

Your Majesty,

I don't mean that.

It's my country.

Don't tell me

what to do.

Your Majesty,

please think carefully.

How arrogant you are!

I will suspend your position

and punish you

by pondering over your mistakes in solitude

for three months.
