=Episode 14=

It's her!

She's the one who brought

the girl you're looking for here!

Search the place!

Say that again.

I dare you!

You've got some nerve!

Hiding City Lord's physician?

Delaying Her Lordship's treatment?

That's a crime!

Guards,

drag all of them to the dungeon!

Hold it.

They're my people.

Which dungeon are you

planning to throw them into?

Ah, Young Master.

My apologies.

I was just worried about Her Lordship.

We're desperate to find help for her.

Please let it slide.

Just hand over the girl we need.

May I ask

who exactly you're barging in

to find?

Chu Xiaoyu.

She's here.

But this afternoon,

she was beaten by the apothecary's physicians.

She's badly hurt.

She's recovering now.

She can't treat anyone.

That's not your concern.

In a city this big,

is she really the only physician?

Young Master,

I'm taking her!

So this is how the Wujing City Lord

asks for medical help?

Yes. Got a problem?

Xiaoyu!

Take her!

Yes.

(I'm fine.)

(Thank you for saving me.)

Move!

Chu Xiaoyu!

Young Master,

you may be noble,

but this is still

Her Lordship's territory.

Please keep your people in line.

Good day.

If the whole city

is after her,

she must matter a lot to Wujing City Lord.

She'll be fine.

They're abusing their power!

I'm worried Xiaoyu

might get hurt again.

She's already so weak.

I'll look at the medical texts she left.

Maybe they'll help her.

Young Master,

looks like the Wujing City Lord has been sick for a while.

And it's only getting worse.

Will this mess up the Wujing Saintess' blood ritual?

Young Master,

should we report this to the sanctuary?

You two go back first.

I still have things to handle here.

Young Master...

His Highness knows what he's doing.

You...

Miss Feng, you really live here?

Young Lord?

You came all the way here for me?

Sorry to barge in.

The head of the apothecary

told me you're incredibly skilled.

I'm impressed.

My mother's been battling a stubborn illness.

I'm here to beg for your help.

Please treat her.

You're too polite.

Helping people is what we're supposed to do.

But what exactly is the illness?

Even the entire apothecary

couldn't fix it?

It's been years.

It's hard to explain in a few words.

Please come with me to the hall

and see her yourself.

No.

Why not?

The Young Lord's desperate to save his mother.

He came in person to ask.

If I can really help her,

and she gets better,

isn't that exactly what you want?

Zhilou,

you're not an official physician from the apothecary.

If you treat her

and she recovers,

that would be great.

But if anything goes wrong,

what will they pin on you?

Since I came myself,

I'll vouch for her as the Young Lord of Wujing City.

I'll make sure she's safe.

(Butterfly Pavilion)

Young Master,

now that you're at Miss Feng's side,

who exactly are you to her?

Young Lord,

stop worrying

about things that aren't yours.

(Take Zhilou with you.)

(Bring her back unharmed.)

(That's what you should worry about.)

Yes, don't worry about it.

I'll be right back. Come on.

Mother,

you already took Chu Xiaoyu's medicine.

Are you feeling any better?

You've been exhausted all day.

Go rest first.

Have everyone else clear out.

I need quiet.

Yes.

My lord,

the Young Lord brought a physician.

He says she's here to treat you.

It's

Feng Zhilou.

Let her in.

I want to see

what she's really like.

Yes.

Everyone, step out.

Chu Xiaoyu stays.

So you're the physician Yan mentioned?

I'm flattered.

I'm Feng Zhilou.

Greetings, my lord.

At first glance,

you look a lot like someone I used to know.

How old are you?

Born in the Year of the Serpent.

(Same year as Liluo.)

My lord.

This is?

Feng Qingfeng personally said

that child already passed.

It's been confirmed?

There really was a plague in Feng Manor.

A lot of children died.

Their bones were buried outside the village.

From what I saw,

after that plague, Feng Manor never again

raised a child the way they did Qingfeng's.

There was a concubine's daughter

who was treated like a disgrace.

If she were really hers,

Feng Manor and Feng Qingfeng

would never have cast her aside.

I heard

you almost married into the Dragons

and awakened the nine spiritual roots.

Those are just rumors.

I'm only here to treat your condition.

Straightforward, I like it.

Come closer.

May I ask,

when it flares up,

what does it feel like?

It hurts.

Feels like a thousand needles stabbing me.

What I hate most

is my face

looking old

and ugly.

Then I'll be blunt.

I've seen

a strange illness like this

in an old medical text.

It's a type of poisoning.

It started with a tonic meant

to boost longevity.

But that tonic

didn't agree with your body.

So, it backfired.

The more you took,

year after year,

the stronger the toxin became.

Eventually,

it seeped into your bones.

The pain became unbearable.

It's worse than death.

How do we cure it?

At its core,

this illness comes from obsession.

If someone is fixated on living forever

or staying young,

even miracle pills

won't save them.

What are you implying?

Aging and illness

are part of life.

We humans

aren't dragons or demons.

We don't live forever.

Trying to fight fate

and taking those longevity tonics

only drains the body

and speeds aging.

I never believed

in fate.

I refuse to accept aging.

It's hurting again!

It hurts!

It's starting again!

It hurts so much!

Chu Xiaoyu, you idiot!

Bring me the pain medicine now!

Xiaoyu!

It hurts!

Hurry!

Help me!

What are you doing?

Your lord is poisoned

down to the bone.

Xiaoyu's done everything she can!

You talk too much!

It hurts!

It hurts so much!

Help me!

Please help me!

Please, I'm begging you!

Her blood's boiling now.

The more upset she gets,

the worse the toxin reacts!

If you don't move,

she'll die from the pain!

Please help me!

It hurts.

Follow my lead.

Steady your mind.

Feng Zhilou,

you're seriously something.

Your medical skill and martial skill

both

are on another level.

No wonder the Dragons back you up.

Saving lives

is my duty.

It has nothing to do with them.

Well said.

But

you still can't cure me!

So you're still getting punished!

Who said I can't?

I'll give you three days.

Half a month.

No way.

Not even a day less.

Chu Xiaoyu's medicine

do help.

But to fix it for good,

I need time to find the cure.

If the dose

is even a little off,

it'll get worse.

Half a month.

Not one day less.

If you don't cure Her Lordship,

you won't leave Wujing alive.

Let's go.

Hold it.

She's not going anywhere.

She stays to help with the pain.

My lord,

I need Chu Xiaoyu

to assist me

for the cure.

So, please have someone send her safely back to my place.

In half a month,

we'll meet again.

I'll wait for you.

(Don't worry. I'll come back.)

(Longevity Hall)

My lord,

she's way too full of herself.

We can't let her stay.

Do you think

she might be Yue's daughter?

Her look,

her eyes,

and that infuriating arrogance!

She's like her.

Too much like her.

Then

I'll kill her now!

Let her cure me first.

We can kill her after.

Yes.

Miss Feng.

I want Chu Xiaoyu

home safe and sound.

Don't worry.

I'll make sure of it.

Miss Feng,

is there a way to cure my mother?

It's tough,

but not hopeless.

No matter how nobles here

treat the common folk,

I gave my word.

I'll give it everything I've got.

But in this world,

physicians heal,

and patients rely on them.

If physicians aren't respected,

who's left to save anyone?

You're compassionate,

and I'm grateful.

But I don't understand

what you mean.

Do you know how Chu Xiaoyu gets treated normally?

And how she was treated

when she cured Her Lordship?

Do you know that the moment

I refuse to treat her,

their archers will let loose?

Is this how you're trying to force me?

I, Feng Zhilou,

don't bow to anyone.

You misunderstand.

I meant no harm.

Please, Young Lord,

don't waste my time.

I've already sworn to Her Lordship.

If I can't find the cure,

both Chu Xiaoyu and I will lose our lives if I fail.

Remember this.

I want Chu Xiaoyu

back safe and unharmed.

Thank you.
