[Gone with the Rain]

[Adapted from the novel "Gone with the Rain" by Ni Luo]

[Episode 32]

Sir, a bowl of noodles.

Coming.

What's wrong?

Are you all right?

What's the matter?

What happened?

Nothing, Madam.

Just a patrolling soldier acting up and collapsing.

What's wrong with him?

That looks like a medical emergency.

Get the physician.

Get the physician.

What's the matter? What's wrong?

What happened?

What's wrong with him?

Xiaowu, there's another one over there.

Are you all right?

Help him up. Slowly.

Be careful.

What's going on here?

General.

General.

What's going on here?

Is it an outbreak?

General!

Apologies, General.

We were late.

Quickly!

Tend to the patients!

Hurry!

How is the patient?

Physician,

what have you learned?

It doesn't seem to be the plague.

But many of them collapsed all of a sudden.

The patients are unconscious and having convulsions, and it's getting worse by the day.

But we cannot tell what is wrong with them.

Even if it isn't the plague,

given the rate of its spread, it's only a matter of days

before the entire Qingzhou City falls to it.

Can we identify the source?

Here, cover them.

General!

Are you…

I'm all right.

I just slipped.

I'm fine.

[Chen]

I… I can't feel my body…

Help… Help me…

Let's go.

- Help me… - Let's get out of here.

You're saying that the reason General Chen has been in hiding is

because there's an outbreak in the city?

Yes, General.

Thousands of people have fallen ill in the city.

Today, a guard even fell from the tower

and died due to illness.

It's… It's all a mess.

That's right, General.

- It's all messed up. - It's chaos.

Please.

Is it raining red?

To think General Wan would invite me over.

You're the one who caused the strange disease in Qingzhou City, aren't you?

It is a natural disaster.

What does it have to do with me?

While it is the will of heaven,

it also signifies that fortune favors His Majesty.

Anyone who dares go against the court is tempting death.

By the way, I bring news from Jingzhou City.

The palace attendant will be here in a few days to announce the edict.

Do prepare yourself, General Wan.

What are you guys up to now?

No need to be anxious, General Wan.

It is a grace for you.

His Majesty pities you for having spent so much time on the battlefield.

As such, he has summoned you back to the capital

to wed Miss Fengyao.

His Majesty will officiate the wedding himself.

He even gave you a manor.

My marriage to Fengyao is invalid.

It is only a misunderstanding.

Miss Fengyao devoted herself to you and remained pure.

You had to go through a lot of hardships

to be reunited in Qingzhou.

Prime Minister Wu relayed your story to His Majesty.

His Majesty was deeply touched

and decided to summon you back to the capital.

What?

Dare you to ignore an imperial decree?

You deceived His Majesty

in order to make me leave the city.

If I leave,

who will lead the 100,000 troops?

You need not worry about that, General Wan.

A wedding will only take five to ten days.

That said, while you are away,

naturally,

I will take charge.

You say it will only be five to ten days,

but the journey back and forth

will take at least a month or two.

You will no doubt make moves while I am absent.

General Wan,

you are a clever man.

You have nothing to lose in this matter.

When you come back after your wedding, the war in Qingzhou

might even be over by then.

You will receive credit as well.

Why must you ask so many questions?

Chen Wende is bold and cunning.

His Beishuo Army is skilled in warfare.

What makes you think

you can defeat him in such a short time?

We have our plans.

You need not fret about that, General Wan.

What if I refuse?

The imperial decree is on its way.

It will be here tomorrow.

I doubt you would dare to disobey.

Here. Easy there.

Come.

Slowly.

Don't rush.

General.

Slowly.

Get up slowly.

- General. - General.

Rest.

General.

- Rest, everyone. - General.

General.

- Sit. - Get some water.

Here it is.

You'll be fine after you take the medicine.

Fengyao.

General Wan.

Come with me.

Fengyao,

I have something to tell you.

His Majesty has decided to marry us

and officiate our wedding.

This…

His Majesty is unaware.

He might think this is actually a show of grace.

Prime Minister Wu brought this up at this time

to revoke my military power and realise their plot.

Such a sinister scheme.

Fengyao, it's not that I don't want to marry you,

but because

I…

I've been through so many things.

My heart has long gone still.

What's more, Moxi has yet to be rescued.

How can I think about other things?

If the one standing here today was Moxi,

you wouldn't be hesitating so much right now.

You know what?

Every time you're like this,

you make me feel useless.

It was I who wronged you.

There's no need for you to apologise.

During these days in the army,

I've thought things through.

I only hate myself for being useless,

for not being able to save Moxi.

But I just want to do what I can now.

I've learned a few things about medicine from the military physician,

and I'm helping to take care of the fallen soldiers.

He says I have a gift.

Maybe I'll be a female physician someday.

You've changed.

I underestimated you.

I apologize.

You really don't have to keep apologizing.

The most important thing now is to save Moxi.

Until she is saved,

I will not return to Jingzhou City or marry.

But the imperial decree will be here soon.

I have an idea.

The military physician told me

that there were a dozen soldiers in our battalion

that have caught the same strange disease in Qingzhou.

They are being quarantined and treated right now.

If I tend to them,

then I will be at risk of getting infected too.

I will not be able to meet His Majesty,

and their plot will not succeed.

Absolutely not! That's too dangerous!

It's nothing.

Those soldiers are the ones who are struggling for their lives.

It's only right that I tend to them.

I can take care of myself.

Don't bother trying to change my mind.

It's settled.

I'll talk to the military physician.

Fengyao.

Here.

Come. Easy there.

Slowly.

Put him down here.

Another infected.

Yes.

Things are in a state of panic here as well.

This is a logistics officer in charge of the arsenal.

He had been in the armory for the past few days

and had never been in contact with enemy prisoners.

But for some reason, he has been infected too.

Look.

It's the same for those two.

We'll leave him in your hands, Miss Fengyao.

If the number of patients increases,

we will send someone to help.

It's all right.

I can handle it.

We'll be leaving now.

Someone who has not been in contact with the soldiers from Qingzhou

has been infected too.

What is going on?

This batch of weapons

should be the ones seized from the Chen Army of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou has iron mines and excellent craftsmen.

No wonder their weapons are so refined and sharp.

But the three men that fell ill today

were in charge of overseeing these weapons.

There were no wounds on them, but they were still infected.

Could it be…

No.

I must inform General Wan at once.

Miss Fengyao.

Why are you here

in the armory

instead of treating your patients?

You shouldn't be too smart.

General… General Wu, you must be mistaken.

I came here to look for General Wan.

I heard from the soldiers that he was here.

Is that so?

Fengyao.

Why are you here?

I heard the logistics officer in charge was infected,

so I came to take a look.

General Wan, you ought to remind your kin

that the armory is a restricted area in the military.

No one should enter without permission.

Thank you for the reminder, Commander.

Let's go, Fengyao.

Wu Yin

tried to kill me.

Don't worry. I'm here.

He wouldn't dare.

I suspect

that batch of cast weapons was poisoned,

and the officer in charge was infected because he touched

them.

Smearing poison on weapons

might be cunning,

but it is inevitable in war.

But what makes me curious is

most of the ones that were poisoned were the Chen Army troops.

Only a dozen of ours were infected.

There must be more going on.

Qingzhou's weapons are mostly cast from pig iron.

But look at the sword oil.

They must have put the poison in the oil.

I'll inform the military physician

and find the source of the poison immediately.

Moxi is in Qingzhou right now.

I'm worried she might be infected too.

Is it possible to send someone to warn her?

Even if it's just

to tell her that the weapons are poisoned.

Don't be hasty.

This is a serious matter.

Wu Yin must've expected

that you would notice what was wrong with the weapons.

It would be bad if he had you charged with treason.

But…

Treason is a serious crime.

I'll find a way to send a message to Moxi.

What you should do right now is pretend nothing happened

and not let Wu Yin catch you.

Get some rest.

Don't think too much about it.

I will save Moxi.

[Wan] I thank His Majesty for his grace.

Please rise, General Wan.

Congratulations, General Wan.

His Majesty has heard that your wife, Bai, is talented and virtuous.

That is why His Majesty wished to see her during the wedding.

But it appears that she is not here.

I didn't expect Madam Wan to be so magnanimous

and personally take care of the infected soldiers.

How admirable.

The cause of the disease has yet to be identified.

But the effects are grave.

As such, I must disappoint His Majesty's good intentions.

After all, His Majesty's health takes priority.

You and your wife are both understanding and righteous.

In that case,

I will return to the capital to report to His Majesty.

Farewell.

Hold on.

Please wait, sir.

I have heard that an imperial decree has arrived.

Congratulations, General Wan. You will soon be seeing His Majesty in person.

Thank you.

General Wan is respected by the troops.

His wife, Bai, saved lives and helped the wounded.

Her reputation is well-known.

If the army is to learn of such good news,

it will surely boost morale.

Please, sir.

I asked you to send someone to keep an eye on Wu Yin.

Did you do it?

Commander Wu Yin's whereabouts are unpredictable,

and he is extremely cautious.

Our people have been secretly keeping an eye on him

but without much success.

However, lately,

he has been sending and receiving letters.

One of our spies examined the letters.

The seal on the envelope

appears to belong to the Cao family of Weizhou.

The Cao family of Weizhou?

They are serious trouble for the court too.

Cao has been secretly aiding Chen Wende's rebellion

in Qingzhou.

Wu Yin…

Did he collude with Chen Wende?

That's impossible.

Wu Lang and Chen Wende are practically at each other's throats.

Don't tell me…

Cao secretly defected to Wu Lang.

Go back and continue to keep an eye on him.

I want to know everything he does in the camp.

Everything he says and everyone he meets.

Report to me every word he says.

Understood.

Everyone knows about Wan Jiagui and Bai Fengyao's marriage.

Qingzhou City will soon be captured.

I can fetch Moxi out now.

Come.

Sir.

I'm sending you on a mission.

No one must know of this.

Can you do it?

Yes.

I thought Governor Cao would join Marquis Mingde

to oppose me, just like Governor Yao, Governor Xia, and Governor Xiu,

after the refusal of marriage alliance.

I never imagined

that he would send you to deliver food and supplies to aid me.

I am surprised.

I was mistaken about him. My apologies.

Governor Cao is not a narrow-minded person.

He would not turn against you

because of a mere marriage.

Official Cao was much worried

when I let him know that you misunderstood and thought

we attempted to assassinate your wife.

He ordered me to deliver the provisions to you in person

to express his sincerest apologies.

I see.

I shall accept, then.

No need to be courteous, General Chen.

Qingzhou City has been besieged by the 100,000 troops for a long time.

Weizhou is only doing a small part to help.

Oh, right.

Official Cao has heard that there has been an outbreak in Qingzhou.

Many of your soldiers have fallen.

Is there anything we can do to help, General Chen?

Weizhou is at your service.

There is no outbreak.

Just minor illnesses and wounds.

Oh, that's right.

I have important matters to discuss with the officers in the army.

Please excuse me.

General, please wait.

I have important news to report.

Important news? Do tell.

We've received news that His Majesty has decreed

that he will personally officiate the wedding of Wan Jiagui and his wife.

They will also be given all kinds of treasures, artifacts, and ritual instruments.

I believe they are on their way back to the capital now.

Madam Wan is the woman you discarded,

isn't she, General?

No matter how capable Wan Jiagui is,

he only took your leftovers.

What did you say?

Fengyao and Wan Jiagui are returning to the capital to be wed?

It's true.

If you don't believe me,

you can read the report yourself.

How can this be?

Wan Jiagui

is only a boy who got lucky.

In the face of war, he is being recalled to marry.

It's a demotion in disguise.

He is no longer favored.

I take my leave, General Chen.

I shan't see you off.

Wan Jiagui,

are you actually going to marry Fengyao?

Wan Jiagui and the court's troops will come and rescue us.

There's still a chance for you two to be reunited.

What about you?

You're the reason I'm alive.

But your marriage to Wan Jiagui

was by order of your parents.

You've even gone through the rituals.

But you're the one he loves.

I can tell

that you love him too.

Chen Wende is not a good match for you at all.

Moxi, are you sure about this?

We've already come so far.

It's too late to turn back.

All right. We'll do it together.

Moxi, promise me

that no matter where we are,

we will never be apart.

Slow down!

Fengyao!

Fengyao!

Take Fengyao away!

I don't need you to save me!

Moxi!

General!

Moxi!

Moxi!

I sent Fengyao out myself.

I never thought I would push you two together.

Miss Moxi.

Who are you?

Miss Moxi.

Please lower your voice.

We won't be able to get out otherwise.

Did Wan Jiagui send you?

I work for General Wan.

He instructed me to get you out of here as soon as possible.

Is he really going to marry Fengyao?

That's just a cover.

Miss Moxi, we must leave at once.

Otherwise, it will be too late.

It's you!

Who sent you?

If you pull it out, he'll die instantly.

Who sent you?

Wu Yin…

You heartless murderer!

I gave him a swift death.

You lost your calm the minute you heard it was about Wan Jiagui.

You believed everything he said.

Check his palm.

This is…

It's a drug.

He was going to knock you out and take you.

When you heard the news of Wan Jiagui's marriage,

you were distracted.

He took advantage of the situation and followed you.

You were already being watched.

Why are you always thinking about Wan Jiagui?

Have you forgotten that I am your real husband?

You're crazy!

Chen Wende?

Chen Wende.

Chen Wende!

Someone!

Anyone!

Chen Wende!

General.

You're usually so formidable.

How could you fall just like that?

As if you're made of paper.

You scared me.

What's wrong with me?

Xiaowu, go and see if the medicine is ready.

Madam.

Here.

Get up.

What's wrong with me?

Tell me the truth.

The physician says you caught the disease too.

Drink.

Hurry.

Slowly.

Moxi…

I drank the medicine.

Stop making that face.

Well...

Well...

Well...

Wouldn't you be happier

if I died?

Why so anxious?

I know

you're worried about me.

You're worried I might be dying, aren't you?

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm not.

Where's the report that was in your hands?

The one that says Wan Jiagui is getting married.

You held it firmly in your hands.

But when you saw me fall ill,

you were so anxious.

Who knows where you left the report?

Moxi…

You know

who actually has your heart.

No.

Moxi…

You know

who actually has your heart.

Me? Care about him?

Impossible.

Do I really care about him?

Jerk. Lecher.

What happened here?

Slowly now.

Madam.

They caught that strange disease too.

They lose consciousness, their body temperature goes up,

and they become weak and feeble.

So we have no choice but to carry them out.

The physician says that this disease isn't infectious.

Why must they be carried out?

The physician did say that.

But those who are ill

grow weaker and weaker every day.

Watching them suffer

affects morale.

We have no choice but to bring them to the citizens

and pay them to look after them.

All right.

I'll leave you to it, then.

This is a little something from me.

Have them take good care of them.

Thank you, Madam.

Go on.

This is a prescription for clearing heat and detoxification.

But you must not over-consume it.

Consume only one bowl every day.

Physician, will this cure him?

At present, we can only focus on detoxifying and clearing the heat from his body.

There is no cure for the illness yet.

Well, we can't just let the general stay sick.

The physicians in the city and I will do our best.

Physician Xu.

General.

Have you identified the origin of this disease?

We have already confirmed that this disease

is not infectious,

thereby eliminating the possibility of a plague.

But we cannot be certain of its root cause yet.

Will I die?

This disease will make one feverish and weak,

but it is not life-threatening.

Rest assured.

Not life-threatening…

It will only make one feverish and weak and immobilize me.

The war is coming.

The timing of this disease is odd.

Physician Xu, thank you.

You may be dismissed.

I take my leave.

Xiaowu.

Yes.

Military affairs must not be neglected.

Go and bring me all those documents.

Madam.

You've worked hard.

General.

Madam, why brings you here?

I woke up early, so I came to see if the medicine was ready.

It's ready.

I was about to deliver it to the general.

No need to bother.

I'll deliver it for you.

All right.

I'll trouble you, then, Madam.

Physician, will he get better?

This illness is peculiar indeed.

We do not know the depth of it yet.

To put it mildly,

we can only try to sustain him with medicine for now.

But you need not worry too much, Madam.

This illness may be strange, but it is not life-threatening.

With time, we will surely find the cure.

I'll be counting on you all, then.

Of course.
