[Coroner's Diary]

[Episode 14]

You were not mistaken?

Not only did Yan Chi escort Qin Wan back,

he even gave her his Heir's Token.

I saw it clearly.

Lord Yan is unusually protective

of Lady Wan.

He even ordered the officers

to address her as Master Wan.

I didn't expect Yan Chi
to hold Qin Wan in such high regard.

No wonder the Marquis of Anyang was
willing to take her in as his adopted daughter.

It all makes sense now.

Do you think Qin Wan

has feelings for Yan Chi?

Lady Wan keeps her thoughts well hidden.

I cannot tell for now.

Yan Chi is highly respected in the army,

but his ties with the Crown Prince
and Prince Cheng are rather weak.

If we can draw him closer

to our family through Qin Wan,

the Crown Prince's influence would
be enough to overpower Prince Cheng.

But Lord Yan acts on his own terms

and shows little regard for others.

-Lady Wan may not be able to...
-I know.

There's no need to decide now.

We'll wait until we're back
in the capital and consult Father.

Throughout this journey,

what's your impression of the ladies?

In my opinion,

among the three ladies,

Lady Xiang has decent looks and manners.

Though she's a bit impulsive,

she could serve as a reliable backup.

Lady Shuang speaks and acts
without forethought.

She's likely of little use.

But Lady Wan's wit and finesse—

few noblewomen in the capital can compare.

And how do you think Qin Wan compares

to Yu?

Lady Yu has had a smooth path in life.

When it comes to depth and shrewdness,

she may fall slightly short of Lady Wan.

You're saying

Father should rank Qin Wan

ahead of Yu?

Lady Wan is impressive,

but the bond between
the second branch and the family...

If she enters the palace,

she may not keep our interests in mind.

Qin Wan

is like a double-edged sword.

If used well,

she can slay all our enemies.

But if handled poorly,

she could easily turn against us.

Still, she bears the Qin last name.

No matter how much control we exert,

her fate is tied

to the family.

Just make sure everything

is handled more carefully from now on.

We must never

let Qin Wan turn her back on our family.

I understand.

It's time for the medicine.

Why haven't they returned yet?

They wouldn't have fainted halfway,
would they?

Don't ask.

My only answer is—

I have no idea where they are right now.

Look,

I've already reheated the medicine twice.

If they don't come back to drink it,
there's nothing I can do.

Anyway, Junior,

don't blame me for this.

Then I'll go find him.

Wait...

What did you do?

What took you so long?

If you'd come back any later,

Junior would've made me
drink your bathwater.

They're back.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

Alright, take your medicine.

Master,

I'm fine now.

If the killer's real target is Senior,

then after brutally killing Song,

he must have been
in a violent state of mind.

I'm worried he won't wait
for the right moment

and will strike at Senior directly.

Then how about this—

I'll go keep watch.

Those Song fellows alone

might not be able
to protect Renxin Clinic.

You can barely walk.

What use would you be there?

Senior can't even fight.

He can barely protect himself.

And Feiyan is still ill.

Don't panic just yet.

I've received word that

the Black Armor Guards are already
at the foot of the mountain

and will arrive in four hours.

In these four hours,

Bai Feng and I will keep watch.

-No.
-No.

You haven't fully recovered yet.

You've already worked hard enough
just now.

You can't risk getting hurt again.

Right.

It's just a petty thief.

What's there to be afraid of?

Master Wan said no, so you can't go.

Exactly.

Alright.

Don't worry.

We'll only scout the terrain

and help them set up some men.

After you have lunch with Yue Ning,

we'll be back.

We won't push ourselves too hard.

Yes.

You promise you won't get into a fight?

I promise.

If she wants to marry up, just let her.

Why do you even care?

We're sisters, after all.

I can't just watch her
bring trouble on herself.

What are you talking about?

Your dear Fifth Sister Qin Xiang.

She's

attached herself to the Bai family.

Last night, Xiang sneaked out.

This morning,

I found a jade butterfly
in her makeup box.

I suspect she went to see
Young Master Bai.

Are you sure that jade butterfly
was from Young Master Bai?

The jade is top quality,

not something just anyone can have.

Besides, Xiang's standards are high.

In this Herbal Garden,

aside from Young Master Bai and Lord Yan,

who else could she be interested in?

This time, I'm on Qin Shuang's side.

Wan,

do you think

Young Master Bai truly cares for Xiang?

Whether he truly cares for her or not,

with the Bai family's status,

Young Master Bai likely has

little say in his own marriage.

Meeting alone in private would only

damage Qin Xiang's reputation.

Then go talk to her.

You're the only one
she's slightly afraid of.

She'd never listen to me.

The Herbal Garden isn't safe right now.

Neither of you should wander around alone.

Once the killer is caught,

we'll leave immediately.

Until then,

just make sure she doesn't do

something foolish that ruins her future.

I suppose that's all we can do.

This spot is high ground.

Station two more guards here.

Yes.

Master,

Miss Qin isn't here. Let me help you.

No need.

My thighs are rubbed raw.

Don't tell me you're completely fine.

Oh?

Want me to check your injuries?

No, no, don't.

I'm fine now.

Sounds like it came from the pharmacy.

I'll go take a look.

Don't go yet—it could be dangerous.

Don't worry. I'll be careful.

Go back and keep an eye on Qin Xiang.

Don't leave the room.

Fuling, stay here.

If Senior comes looking for me,

tell him to get to the pharmacy
right away.

Got it. Be careful.

Wan is amazing.

Did you see the killer?

I was a step too late.

I heard the scream

and feared the killer might kill him,

so I called out
from a distance as a warning.

He used that chance and escaped.

Bai Feng's gone after him.

By the time I got here,
the killer was already gone.

The murderer...

The murderer...

Say no more.

Keep this in your mouth.

Don't wait anymore.

Don't wait anymore.

Don't wait for what?

He should be able to survive.

Butler Dong.

He just said "don't wait anymore."

Do you know what he meant?

Cheng was almost fully recovered.

He originally planned
to go home and get married in a few days.

He was probably telling his fiancée

not to wait for him anymore.

Don't be sad.

He just needs some time to recover.

He can get married a few days later.

Lady Wan,
thanks to your acupuncture skills,

Cheng was given a second chance at life.

Master.

I failed you.

He got away.

But the tracks show he went west.

If I were in my usual state,

that guy wouldn't have escaped.

West? That's the guest quarters,

where all the female guests are staying.

Xiang, don't be foolish.

The Bai family is a prestigious clan.

If they learn about Father's reputation,

they'll never let you marry into
their family.

Qin Wan is a jinx
who brought bad luck to her parents,

but she still won
the Grand Princess's favor.

And Lord Yan still holds her
in high regard.

We're both legitimate daughters
of the Qin family.

How am I different?

But...

You're a concubine's daughter.

Some things you just don't understand.

Fine, I'm a concubine's daughter.

I can't interfere
in legitimate daughters' affairs.

Help! Help!

Xiang has been kidnapped.

He said if Sun Haoyue doesn't meet him,

he'll kill her.

Mr. Dong, go get Senior. Quickly.

Okay. Let's go!

Sun Haoyue!

How many more people must die
because of you?

Sun Haoyue!

Do you dare face me?

I'll make you pay with your life!

My sister has nothing to do
with Sun Haoyue.

Let her go!

I don't care!

The killer is prepared to die.

Don't approach rashly.

I'll go calm him down first.

I'll go.

You all stay back

so he won't feel threatened
and harm Xiang.

Let me borrow this for a while.

Don't worry.

I'll be right beside you.

Don't come over!

If you come any closer,

I'll kill her!

Alright.

Alright.

Calm down.

Let me go with you.

I'm a woman.

He won't be on guard against me.

It's fine. I'll go alone.

Be careful.

Your Highness, I heard you've arrived

but haven't had a chance
to greet you properly.

I'll entrust my sister's safety

to you.

I'll protect my own people.

Sun Haoyue!

Sun Haoyue!

Come out now or I'll kill her!

Wan, save me!

Where's Sun Haoyue?

He's coming right away.

That's my sister you're holding.

Could you at least let her
sit down and rest?

No! Until Sun Haoyue stands
in front of me,

she's not taking a single step
away from me!

Judging by your clothes,

you look like an honest, hardworking man.

Why do you bear such hatred

toward Dr. Sun?

Dr. Sun my ass!

He killed my daughter

and destroyed my whole family.

I'll make him pay with his life!

For a parent to bury their child

is truly unbearable grief.

But medicine isn't magic.

Not every life can be saved.

If he had been able to save your daughter,

he would've done everything he could.

Shut up!

If it weren't for him,

my daughter wouldn't have died!

She was born unable to walk,

but she was my only kid.

My wife and I worked ourselves to the bone

just to get her treated.

She was fine when we

brought her here.

But by the time we saw her again,

she was already in a coffin.

Her mother drowned herself
when we got home.

To see my daughter one last time,

I dug up her grave and opened the coffin—

only to find her chest...

her chest...

had been cut open and stitched back up!

He killed her.

He killed my daughter!

Sun Haoyue!

Die!

You're talking nonsense!

Your daughter was taken around
to see quack doctors.

Her body was already ruined

and wouldn't last long.

Our Young Master

only kept her here for treatment

to stop her from suffering any further.

-Shut up!
-You...

Do you want her to die?

The one you hate is me.

You shouldn't have been so cruel to Song.

He was loyal to you,

just a dog you kept,

so he deserved to die!

Since I'm here now,

please let this young lady go.

-Young Master!
-I'll kill you!

Are you alright?

Young Master Bai,

you finally came.

Were you frightened today?

Here.

This is calming tea I brewed.

Thank you.

Thank you for saving Xiang today.

If you hadn't come to her rescue in time,

she might have been...

It was my fault your sister
got into danger.

If you keep thanking me,
I'll feel ashamed.

Young Master Bai,
since you're skilled in archery,

why didn't you avoid the vital spots

to spare his life?

I was reckless.

Seeing Xiang...

Seeing Lady Xiang bleeding,

I acted on impulse

without thinking.

I'm truly sorry.

I see.

Everyone,

about what the killer said—

Your Highness, if you have any doubts,

just ask Mr. Dong.

Your Highness,

Young Master Qin,

my wife can't be left alone.

I'll take my leave now.

Here.

Two people have died in a row.

He acts as if nothing happened.

Are all these reclusive masters
so cold-hearted?

You...

Who are you talking about?

No one, no one.

Your Highness,

now that the culprit has been killed,

we will set off back
to the capital tomorrow.

Young Master Qin,

the mountain roads are hard
to navigate in snowy weather.

Why not stay a few more days?

Let me organize the case files first,

then escort you back to the capital.

My fifth sister has suffered
quite a shock recently,

and most of our group are women.

I'm afraid I must decline your kind offer.

I'll take my leave now.

Only to find her chest

had been cut open and stitched back up!

I want to take a walk in the plum forest.

Xiang said that

at death's door,
she only thought of Young Master Bai.

Could she have truly fallen for him?

Exactly.

When a girl is saved by a man,
she often wishes to marry him.

Your Highness, how could you say that?

That's how it's written
in all the storybooks.

Besides, princesses are people too.

Isn't that right, Little Wan'er?

What did you say?

What's wrong with you?

You've been distracted since we got here.

Do you remember

where those beast carcasses were buried?

-Yes.
-No.

Take me there to have a look.

Let's go.

It's quite scary.

I don't dare look.

Right here.

There used to be many beast carcasses
piled up here.

They should have been
buried under the tree.

It's not fresh soil.

They weren't buried here.

Little Wan'er,

why must you find those beast carcasses?

I want to see how they actually died.

Go get me a hoe from the storage room.

Alright.

Seems like this is it.

We're going to leave early tomorrow.

If you don't pack now, it'll be too late.

My Lady, give it to me.

Xiang,

weren't you the most eager
to enter the capital?

Compared to the young men
from noble families in the capital,

Young Master Bai's family is ordinary.

Why do you hold on to him so much?

But no matter how good
others' family backgrounds are,

none of them

have Young Master Bai's feelings for me.

You've just survived a great ordeal,

so of course
you're deeply grateful to him.

But once you see the splendor
of the capital,

you won't think the same anymore.

So what?

In the eyes of those nobles,

I'm just a girl with a tarnished
family background.

Who would want to marry me
as a legitimate wife?

Someone like Young Master Bai,

with a noble family,
outstanding character,

and deep feelings for me—

I'll never meet another like him
in my life.

But will Young Master Bai's parents

agree to your marriage?

He said he won't marry anyone but me.

His parents will surely agree.

Lady Xiang, are you resting?

I request an audience.

Wanqing, go open the door.

Lady Xiang, Lady Shuang.

No need for formalities, Mr. Dong.

Young Master Bai is going to leave
for Yizhou early tomorrow morning.

I'm afraid he won't be able
to see you off.

He...

Why is he leaving?

Young Master Bai said

he has something important
to report to his elders at home

and can't delay.

This is a gift from Young Master Bai

to comfort you.

He wishes you all the best

and hopes your wishes come true.

Please thank Young Master Bai for me

and tell him not to worry.

I will definitely do so.

Goodness, they are far too valuable!

No, no.

Xiang, you should return them.

You accepted such an expensive gift

without a reason.

What if you can't explain it
in the future?

You don't understand.

This is no ordinary gift.

This is Young Master Bai's token
of marriage proposal to me.

He didn't mention anything
about a proposal.

He did!

Look at this ruby.

That deep red is reserved
for a legitimate wife.

And this mandarin duck pendant—

it's a token of love.

If it weren't for his marriage, why would

Young Master Bai rush home
to get his elders' approval?

That's just your guess.

Who would send a proposal token
through a servant

and leave the girl guessing
whether it's a proposal?

Young Master Bai's sister
is in poor health,

and Dr. Sun is busy.

So who else

could he have sent to deliver the token?

I think

you're just jealous of how deeply
Young Master Bai loves me.

Jealous of you?

Good heavens!

I can't talk sense into you.

Do whatever you want.

Wanqing,
I'm sleeping in your room tonight.

Come find me when you're done packing.

Okay.

I'm leaving at 5 a.m.

I hope you'll come with me.

My feelings for you will never change.

Will you say yes?

Master,

why do you think Qin Yan

is in such a hurry to leave?

I openly asked Lady Wan
to be my strategist.

He's probably in a hurry to go back

and report it to his father.

Could it be

he's trying to win over Lady Wan

so you'll help the Crown Prince?

Of everyone in the capital,

the only one not trying to win me over

is probably the Empress Dowager.

So with your return to the capital,

won't you be like fresh meat to wolves?

Everyone's dying to get a piece.

I don't have the energy
for their political games.

I'm fine being a loyal, solitary official.

Leave 50 Black Armor Guards with us.

Have the rest wait
at the villa outside the capital.

Yes.

Chi.

What happened?

Why do you look like this?

Your Highness, have you heard

about the rumors of monsters
in Sanyuan Village?

I have.

It's precisely because I heard

you were driven out
of the inn due to these rumors

that I came here to this Herbal Garden.

I have a theory,

but no solid evidence yet.

So I can't report it to the authorities

nor investigate openly.

Your Highness, could you make Cousin Yan

stay here for another day or two?

Once I find proof, I will report it
to the officials immediately.

That way the villagers won't suffer
from gossip,

nor be at risk.

Since you've asked,

how could I say no?

Thank you, Your Highness.

During this time,

keep your sleeve blade
with you at all times.

Here, let me help you put it on.

Let me do it.

Here.

Now, can you tell me

where your theory comes from?

Wild animal carcasses.

Except for the four ladies' carriages,

all the others are broken.

Why didn't you check them beforehand?

Young Master Yan, please forgive me.

I did check them last night.

Everything was fine then.

But this morning,

the axles were broken.

What are you waiting for then?

Fix them.

Yes, yes, of course.

Hurry up and fix them.

Alright.

Want to leave?

That depends on whether I agree.

It's empty.

We're not leaving today.

Why are you packing these empty boxes?

If we don't pack,

won't Cousin Yan realize

we knew we weren't leaving?

You, who seem honest and kind,

are the best liar.

Your Highness, Wan.

He's here.

Cousin Yan, are we loading now?

Not yet.

There are some problems
with the carriages.

We can't leave anytime soon.

How about this?

Have some rest with the Princess.

Thank you, Cousin Yan.

Wan! Wan!

Cousin Yan.

Xiang is missing.

Missing?

What happened?

I woke up this morning

and found her bed empty.

Then we looked for her belongings

and found her favorite

jewelry and clothes were gone.

Could she have been kidnapped?

The missing items are her favorites.

She must have taken them herself.

She took them herself?

Where could she have gone?

Xiang…

Xiang must have eloped
with Young Master Bai.

Don't move!

Be careful not to disturb the footprints.

Besides Mrs. Lin, there are no other maids
in the Herbal Garden.

And it's not yet time
to deliver breakfast.

These footprints must be Xiang's.

Wait here.

I'll go check it out.

Wanhe? Wanhe?

My Lady.

It is indeed a sleeping drug.

Don't go any further.

Be careful not to disturb the footprints.

How is it?

She's probably already left
the Herbal Garden.

Mr. Dong,

when did Young Master Bai
leave the Herbal Garden?

Last night,

Young Master Bai only told me to have

the food, water,
and a carriage ready by 7 a.m.

I don't know anything else.

Then they must have left not long ago.

I'll take some people
to chase them immediately.

Cousin Yan.

Xiang's footprints are already fading.

They were likely made before sunrise.

They must have left before 7 a.m.

This was planned long ago.

I'll take men to chase them toward Yizhou.

-I'll go with you.
-I'll go with you.

No.

What if going to Yizhou is a decoy?

How will you find the real direction?

Well...

Don't hesitate anymore.

If you keep delaying,

she'll get too far away.

Then I leave my Wan

in your care, Your Highness.

I'll prepare the carriages.

-Let's go.
-Come on.

Don't tell anyone else about this.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

My Lady.

-It's cold. Take this to eat on the road.
-Okay. Let's go.

My Lady, what about me?

You and Senior take care of Lord Yan
and the General.

Cousin Yan,

Changfu Inn is the only way
out of the mountain.

Let's stop there!

Alright!

Stay right there!

Where are you going?

Let me tell you,

your leg injury still isn't healed.

And you've been investigating the case
with that injury these past few days.

Why don't you take a proper rest?

What?

You plan to stay
and spend New Year with me?

Sun,

where is Lady Wan?

What do you mean?

You don't trust my medical skills?

I meant no such thing.

Let me tell you,

last time it was an emergency situation,

so my junior disregarded propriety

and treated you.

Your Highness,

you should conduct yourself with decorum.

How can you take it for granted?

Sun, you misunderstood.

I just did a small favor for Lady Wan

and wanted to know
if things went as she wished.

That's why I asked.

That's good then.

Take off your clothes and get on the bed.

No need.

Sun,

it's just a surface wound,
nothing serious.

No need to trouble yourself.

Whether it's serious or not

is for me to decide.

Get on the bed.

[Changfu Inn]

Sir.

Who's there?

Greetings, Young Master Qin,

Miss Qin.

Alright, let me ask you,

have you seen a girl recently?

-She…
-Cousin Yan.

Have some snacks with Ning first.

Alright.

Your Highness.

The snow has just stopped.

Why didn't you wait for the roads
to clear before traveling?

Drink some hot water to warm up first.

Thank you, sir.

It's snowing heavily today.

How's business today?

There aren't many guests
even on normal days.

Now with the snow,

it's even quieter.

There's not a soul on the road.

Maybe

some people traveled through the night

and didn't stop at your inn?

To be honest,

since the incident at Sanyuan Village,

I've kept a mastiff to guard at night.

If anyone had passed by,

it would have barked nonstop.

But now it sleeps all day,

wasting food.

We've just been out
in the cold for a while.

Eat some to fill your stomach.

Miss Qin, how did you get Zhang family's
tea shortbread?

What Zhang family?

These are made by a maid
in the Herbal Garden.

That's impossible.

I saw Zhang family's mark
on these tea shortbread.

It couldn't be wrong.

What mark?

The leaf pattern

on the tea shortbread.

Only the Zhang family

can make the mark

look like a fresh leaf.

It's their family heirloom skill,

only passed down to daughters,
never daughters-in-law.

Others

can't make it.

Which Zhang family

do you mean?

The Zhang family at the east end
of Sanyuan Village.

They've grown tea for generations.

Everyone here knows.

Does the Zhang family
still have anyone left?

Their family line has died out.

Only a young girl was left.

But before she could marry a man
into the family to carry on its standing,

she was killed

by monsters a few months ago.

Now there are no descendants left.

Mrs. Lin's tea shortbread tastes

even better than locals'.

Many people in the tea garden
have died recently.

The young workers

mysteriously disappeared.

When their bodies were found,

their organs were all gone.

Cousin Yan, hurry,

send someone to get officers
to the Herbal Garden.

What happened?

No time to explain.

Ning, take me back to the Herbal Garden.

Okay.

What about Xiang?

You wait here,

in case they pass by later.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

But...

Have I done anything to offend you?

No, don't be ridiculous.

Then why do you seem

so displeased with me?

Fine.

Let me ask you,

what exactly are your intentions
toward my junior?

What do you mean?

You knew a coroner was a lowly profession,

yet you claimed she was your strategist

and let her openly examine corpses.

If this gets out,

how will she be able
to hold her head up in society?

How will she be able to

practice her excellent medical skills?

You're clearly ruining her future.

Sir, do you know

Lady Wan already had a reputation
as the "medical fairy" in Jingzhou?

Then why did she become a coroner?

I know.

My junior once said that whether

practicing medicine or working as a coroner,
she can make an impact everywhere.

Whether dealing with the dead
or the living,

she can achieve great things.

But back then,
she was helping you secretly,

so her reputation remained intact.

But she's not one to care for empty fame.

But the world does!

She's a woman

burdened with deep hatred...

With extraordinary talent.

Without a good reputation,

what should she do in the future?

The Medicine King Valley
has a century-old legacy,

yet only Lady Wan takes it upon herself

to seek justice for the wronged.

How could we let worldly gossip

bury such a gem?

Women in this world have it hard enough.

That's why we must treat her
as a national treasure.

Your Highness, how long can you
protect her?

What I want is that

one day

she won't need my protection

to do as she pleases

and earn the world's respect.

Earn the world's respect?

I hope you remember what you said today,

so my junior's help won't be in vain.

Have you changed your bandages,
Your Highness?

Come in.

Fuling!

Be careful.

Fuling, help me.

Why has your wound gotten worse?

Take off your clothes so I can
take a look. Come on.

Let me see.

No, don't.

-Take it...
-Don't.

I'm fine. Really.

Don't worry. Look.

You lied to me?

How could I lie to you?

Besides, I'm really injured.

My Master is here.

I should grit my teeth
and endure the pain.

Master.

I have something important to report.

Word came from the foot of the mountain,

saying that Lady Wan,

Young Master Qin, and the Princess

went to Changfu Inn.

Why did my junior go there?

She said not to tell anyone.

-Including me?
-Including me?

Lady Xiang and Young Master Bai ran off.

My lady went down the mountain
to chase them.

When did they leave?

She said it was before 5 a.m.

Bai Feng,

order the Black Armor Guards
to search the mountain

for Lady Xiang immediately.

Yes.

Is there anything wrong?

The scouts didn't report anyone
leaving the mountain earlier.

So Lady Xiang must still
be near the Herbal Garden.

Let's split up!

Yes!

My Lady!

My Lady, you're finally back.

Fuling, where's Lord Yan?

His Highness said

the scouts at the foot of the mountain
saw no one going down the mountain.

Lady Xiang must be nearby.

He and Bai Feng went to find her.

Wait for him here.

If he returns,

tell him to come straight
to Renxin Clinic.

Have the Black Armor Guards
block all exits.

No one is allowed to leave
the Herbal Garden.

Alright.

Let's go.

Where are you going?

I dug up the animal carcass last night.

The killer must have noticed.

I'll go calm him down first.

I'll go with you. Come on.

You can't get involved in a murder case.

If what you said is true

and the killer is ruthless,

what if he wants to kill you?

How will you protect yourself?

I have my ways.

Little Wan'er.

we're like sisters.

We should value loyalty above life.

Let's go.

Were you calling me?

Who are you? Why are you here?

[Bai Feijue]

You are Bai Feijue?

If you are Bai Feijue,

then who's that Bai Feijue outside?

You mean,

like Mrs. Lin,

he's a patient with a replaced heart?

Tell me,

does your sister
also have a heart condition?

To avoid alerting the enemy,

I can't save you now.

If you really are Bai Feijue,

he won't kill you.

Once the officials arrive,

I will definitely get you out.

Little Wan'er,

if he really is Bai Feijue,

then the person who eloped
with Qin Xiang...

Qin Xiang must be in grave danger.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Senior, here's the thing.

Lady Xiang

is our junior's cousin.

If Young Master Bai truly cares for her,

why didn't he go to the capital

to formally propose?

Running away with her

is basically eloping.

In the future, what if...

How is our junior supposed to handle this?

Have some tea.

Junior, your temper's been flaring lately.

This special calming incense I made

is just right for your symptoms.

Senior.

You care so much about our Junior.

About this matter,

I won't make things difficult for you.

[Benevolent Heart]

Swallow this pill.

Keep this one under your tongue.

What are these for?

One is for detoxification,

and the other is an antidote
to sedative.

Remember,

don't eat or touch anything
once we're inside.

I'll handle everything.

Okay. You do the talking,

and I'll do the fighting.

Senior.

Junior, you're here too.

Has your sister been found?

Not yet.

Cousin Yan worried we'd be tired,

so he sent us back first.

Senior Muqing, you're here too?

Yes.

This tea is grown in the garden.

Your Highness, Junior, try some.

Thank you.

Senior Brother,
I've been here for so long.

Why aren't you talking to me?

Senior?

Quick,

hold your breath.

You actually prepared
the antidote in advance.

Junior, you're truly vigilant.

Too bad you lack experience

and have limited knowledge.

Do you feel

dizzy,

numb in your face,

and unable to feel your limbs?

It's anesthesia...

Anas...

You guessed it was anesthesia.

No wonder Master favors you the most

and only taught you
the golden needle technique.

This incense,

called Yunmeng Incense,

was carefully formulated
for treating external injuries.

Its rich aroma

enters the brain
through the nose and mouth,

acting much faster

than mafeisan powder.

It's a pity

that you're obsessed
with those wild animal carcasses.

Otherwise, the three of us

could often practice medicine together.

How delightful that would be.

Young Master.

Junior,

you shouldn't have come here.
