Dear Herbal Lord Season 1

Episode 2

Your Ladyship,

please come around quickly.

Your Ladyship, don't scare me.

Your Ladyship…

Doctor Jing,

please do save Her Ladyship.

As I see it,

Her Ladyship is all right.

Why did she pass out then?

This is a question for you.

Why did you make her pass out from hunger?

She passed out from hunger?

You took away Her Ladyship's food.

No, I didn't.

Her Ladyship did it.

Ever since Her Ladyship came around,

she's been only drinking water.

She doesn't want to have

vegetables and fruits, let alone meat.

I tried to persuade her,

but she didn't listen.

She even said

those turnips, cabbages and marbled pork

are not her enemies,

so she can't eat them.

Where is all this coming from?

That's interesting though.

Go with me to get some tonic herbs

to feed it to her later

and she'll be all right.

OK.

Your Lordship,

take good care of my junior apprentice-sister.

Yes.

Thank you, Your Lordship.

Let's go.

Miss Jiang,

let go your hold.

What a strong herbal smell!

It smells so good.

Let go of your hand!

Miss Jiang, let go your hold!

Your Lordship, Your Lordship…

Why did you come out?

Where is Her Ladyship?

She's all right.

I'll go and check in on her.

Don't go in for now.

Her Ladyship is discussing some proper business

with Herbal Lord.

Jiang Qingyun, let go your hold!

Don't make a noise.

Have you calmed her down?

Her Ladyship has come around.

Be quick to go in and have a look.

You've come around, Your Ladyship?

Where…where am I?

This is Herbal Lord' Qinghe Residence.

Why am I at his place?

Did Herbal Lord do anything to me?

No, no, no.

Herbal Lord did nothing to you.

You passed out from hunger yourself.

When you passed out,

Herbal Lord took you back here.

Since he's taken me home,

did he promise to marry me?

No.

Miss Jiang, please go home when you finish the food.

Yes, Your Ladyship,

have something to eat first.

Your Ladyship,

you can't just have soup.

Have some meat.

No!

Junior apprentice-sister,

you passed out from malnutrition.

How can I explain to my master

if you fall ill from starvation?

My deity friend,

who are you?

How is your master related to me?

Doctor Jing,

Her Ladyship doesn't remember things in the past

ever since she came around.

Please don't take offense.

Call him senior apprentice-brother.

Hello, senior apprentice-brother.

Be good.

Eat some more.

I'm not eating!

Why are you mortals so strange?

I'd become an overlord flower

if I eat this stuff.

Your Ladyship,

what nonsense are you talking about again?

Miss Jiang, please go if you don't eat.

Xuhuai,

see the guests out.

I'm not going!

You…

You took me

to your bed without asking.

Now you want me to go,

why?

Senior apprentice-brother, please judge who's right and who's wrong.

Well,

we have to make clear on this point indeed.

Stay if you eat, go if you don't.

I'm not eating!

Your Ladyship,

Bread is the staff of life,

and you'll go hungry if you skip a meal.

How can Herbal Lord marry you

if you pass out from hunger again?

So

you'll have the strength to court Herbal Lord

only on a full stomach, right?

You mortals' food is so tasty!

I want more.

Please help yourself, Miss Jiang.

It seems the word on the street is true.

My junior apprentice-sister is on very good terms with you, Herbal Lord.

I don't know her well at all.

Even after what you've done?

I've seen it with my own eyes just now.

You were hugging each other

and holding each other so tight.

I would say

you know her too well.

But don't you sneeze

when you get close to young women?

Why didn't you have a problem with it just now?

Your Lordship, marry me quickly!

This is weird.

When I faced Jiang Qingyun before,

my sneeze came in spurts;

I was so close to her just now,

but I didn't even sneeze once.

What's the reason for that?

Your Lordship,

what are you thinking?

Is it probably because of her sachet?

Sachet?

When I got close to her,

she had a herbal scent over her body.

Maybe it was the herbal scent

that relieved my sneezing symptoms.

I only know young women smell of rouge.

It's the first time I've heard of the herbal scent.

Maybe my master made up a prescription for her?

I'll go and smell it later.

You have a lot of time on your hands.

Why?

You become jealous so soon?

Let her go quickly when she's done eating.

Why don't you keep her a bit longer?

I'm not running a restaurant here.

Your Lordship,

you are really so unromantic.

I've committed such a sin.

Your Ladyship,

you looked inelegant when you were eating just now.

Whatever fine dishes you feel like eating,

our Jiang Residence has them all.

Really?

I can ask the kitchenette to cook for you.

Deities and Buddha in Heaven,

I really didn't mean to kill living creatures.

Fortunately, those animals and plants hadn't been granted spirits,

I wasn't doing evil.

Chicken drumsticks, sausages, spareribs,

cabbages, turnips and white gourds,

forgive me.

Forgive me.

[Qinghe Residence]

Your Lordship, please save lives.

Your Lordship, please.

Please go back, guys.

His Lordship will not visit a patient at home.

Your Lordship,

my father suffers from a serious illness

which hasn't been cured over the years.

Now his condition is getting worse and worse.

Please grant a prescription, Your Lordship.

Your Lordship,

please grant a prescription.

My wife keeps coughing blood all day long,

please grant a prescription, Your Lordship.

Your Lordship…

Your Lordship…

Please save my wife.

Your Lordship…

Please go back, guys.

Your Lordship, Your Lordship!

Your Lordship.

[Qinghe Residence]

Your Lordship.

Please save us!

Your Lordship!

Your Lordship!

Isn't it just seeing patients?

What's hard about it?

I'll go and tell him.

Thank you, Your Ladyship.

Everybody in Daxing City knows

Herbal Lord never sees patients.

Why doesn't he do that as Herbal Lord?

Anyway, just stay out of his business.

It's getting dark.

We'd better hurry home,

or His Lordship will get worried again.

Please, Your Ladyship.

Please.

Go home quickly, guys.

Your Ladyship!

Excuse me.

Your Ladyship!

Make sure you ask for his prescriptions.

Your Ladyship…

Your Lordship…

Your Lordship City Governor,

Miss Jiang was taken by Herbal Lord into his residence

and didn't leave until six hours later.

Ah He,

did you see that clearly?

As clear as daylight.

Your Lordship City Governor,

Chu Zimo abstains from relationships with women because of illness,

and neither have I heard of any young lady going in and out of his residence.

Now it seems

the word on the street is not a groundless rumor.

Lord Xiao,

was Jiang Qingyun

engaged to Mr. Xiao before?

Exactly.

My son Xiao Ziming

and Jiang Qingyun used to be childhood sweethearts,

and they got engaged when they were young children.

But

now it seems

the engagement won't count.

If this is the case,

my uncle has not only taken away other's loved one by force,

but also scuttled your plan

of fostering marriage ties with the Jiang family.

Lord Xiao, deep down

you must have a deep grudge against my uncle, don't you?

Not really.

Affection between young people is a trivial matter.

I'm not a man who breaks up affectionate couples either.

My only fear is that Herbal Lord

would take advantage of this

and huddle with the Jiang family

to attempt to break the pattern of checks and balances

among the three major families,

which would be very unfavorable

to you as city governor

and Daxing City.

You are worrying too much, Lord Xiao.

Instead of focusing your mind on these things,

you'd better spend more time thinking about

the human trafficking cases which occur frequently in the city these days.

Your Lordship City Governor,

my son Xiao Ziming is doing his best to look into the cases.

He'll find something

in just a few days.

Mr. Xiao's hard work is appreciated.

Your Ladyship,

you'd better eat this.

Grandma,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I didn't see you.

Are you OK?

Young lady,

I got separated from my son in the crowd.

Can you help me look for my son?

OK.

Her Ladyship is in a hurry to go home.

You'd better go to the government office.

Grandma!

Well, young lady…

I…

I didn't push her.

Why did you push me instead of helping me?

I didn't.

Grandma, Lyuluo didn't mean to do that.

Your Ladyship, I didn't push her.

All right, all right. Say no more.

Grandma,

where did you get separated from your son?

Let me look for him for you.

My son…

Right over here.

Your Ladyship,

His Lordship will blame us.

It's OK, you go home first.

I'll be right back.

Grandma,

which direction were you going?

This way.

We were going this way.

OK. I'll look for him with you together.

Take care.

Your Ladyship, come back early.

Uh.

Grandma, take care.

Grandma, where is your home?

We are almost there.

It's just in the front.

But there seems to be

no household in this wilderness.

Help, grandma!

Where…

where am I?

Am I at grandma's place?

Why…why are my hands tied up?

Silly you!

You've run into a human trafficker.

Just wait to be sold!

Aren't you mortals so creepy?

When I was an indigowoad herb,

I was worried about being sold by herb gatherers.

Now I've finally turned into a human being,

yet I'm still worried about being sold.

Is there anything you guys don't sell?

Anyway,

you must figure out a way to escape.

You've got to court Herbal Lord.

Do you have the slightest bit of humanity in you?

You still want me to court a husband even when I get caught up in this?

How do you think I can escape?

Jiang Qingyun!

Say something!

Jiang Qingyun!

What's up?

Why did I hear a sound?

How can there be a sound?

Don't be paranoid.

How far are we from Herbal Lord Valley?

We'll be there soon.

Let's hurry on with our journey.

We'll be safe once we get to Herbal Lord Valley.

Let's go.

We are going to Herbal Lord Valley?

Turns out this is a free ride home.

I'm going home.

Enough, enough.

Stop crying.

I tell you what,

behave yourselves!

This place is in the middle of nowhere.

It's no use even if you shout at the top of your lungs.

Bro, bro.

No problem, no problem.

I'll do everything you say.

This chick is a looker.

But why is she a moron?

What's that sound?

Let's go and have a look,

bro.

It turns out to be such a plain sailing home.

Just as the mortals' saying goes,

"You'll cross that bridge when you come to it."

Why are you crying?

Are you not happy?

Don't be afraid, guys.

I'm here to save you guys.

I'm here to save you guys.

Mr. Xiao?

I've distracted the kidnappers.

Here, young lady.

Qingyun?

Mr. Xiao, I…

Don't worry.

I'll definitely protect your safety.

I…

Keep it down.

Get a move on.

Get a move on, get a move on.

Get a move on.

It's OK for me to stay here.

Get a move on.

Get a move on.

Jiang Qingyun?

Miss Jiang?

Since you don't respond,

I'll get out of here first.

When I recover my magic power,

I can fulfill all your wishes even if you have a hundred of them.

Come out quickly.

Do this.

Go home quickly.

Thanks, young gentleman. Thanks, young gentleman. Thanks, young gentleman.

Hurry up.

What are you doing?

My deity friend,

no, Mr. Xiao,

let's talk later. Let go your hold first.

Well,

where are you going at such a late hour?

I'm going home.

Stupid!

Home is in this direction. Go.

Stop!

I'll protect you.

What's the point of protecting me? Run for your life!

Go!

They are over there. Stop running!

Stop!

It's OK.

You have me here.

Mr. Xiao, you've got injured.

Are you OK?

I'm OK.

What's the point of showing off bravado when your last hour has come?

I'll just see

how long you can hold out.

Go!

Let her go.

Let her go!

Do you think I'm a fool?

I'll say it again,

let her go.

Ask all your men to move back!

Otherwise

I'm gonna kill her with the sword.

Put it down.

Qingyun!

Brother Agrwood,

give me a hand!

Thank you, Brother Agarwood.

Xuhuai,

how's the preparation going?

It's ready, Your Lordship.

I'll take people down to search.

Xuhuai,

clean this place up

and search Herbal Lord Valley throughout the night

before you join me.

Mr. Xiao, don't move,

or your wound will rip.

I…

Did you get hurt?

I…I'm fine.

You are the one who's seriously injured.

Qingyun,

I'm really sorry.

It's all because of me

that you've got trapped here.

You got injured to save me.

I'm the one who should say sorry.

Qingyun.

All right, all right, all right. Don't move.

Qingyun,

there's something I want to say to you.

Go ahead.

I've never changed my love of you.

No!

I don't want to bind you with our engagement.

I want to protect you with our engagement.

Mr. Xiao,

I really don't know what you are talking about.

Don't move for now.

I'll go get some herbal medicines for you.

Qingyun!

What on earth happened here?

The air has a thin herbal scent and is mixed with poisonous scent.

It's overgrown with poisonous weeds.

The plant deities have also moved.

I can't go back to my old home anymore.

I've finally managed to escape from the Jiang's residence,

do I have to go back to Daxing City again?

Where else do you want to go?

What a nice smell!

What are you doing?

You got injured?

It smells of agarwood.

How did you get injured?

I'm unscathed.

No, or the herbal essence will leak.

Herbal essence?

Don't worry.

Let me stop the bleeding for you first.

Is this OK? Did it hurt?

Do you know the beautyberry plant?

Of course. We are on very good terms.

Let me ask you,

why did you suddenly drop off the cliff yesterday?

I was going home.

Going home?

Yes.

Because it was very dark that night,

I couldn't see the way

and went in the wrong direction.

It seems I got you wrong.

What did you think then?

Nothing.

Let me tell you,

once the beautyberry plant is applied,

the wound mustn't be exposed to wind or water.

Nor coldness.

As Herbal Lord,

I know all this pharmacology.

Since you are Herbal Lord,

why don't you save people?

Why are you staring at me?

As Herbal Lord, you should be concerned about the common people.

With so many patients asking for your prescriptions,

why don't you save them?

I don't know how to save people.

Why don't you?

Qingyun…

Where are you?

Dad! Qingyun.

Qingyun.

Dad!

My dear daughter,

are…are you all right?

I'm OK.

Come on, come on, come on. Let dad see.

I'm fine. Don't worry.

You naughty child,

you are disobedient.

I asked you to stay home but you didn't.

You'll only be happy when you scare dad to death?

All right, all right.

Dad, I know I'm in the wrong.

Many thanks for coming to my daughter's rescue, Your Lordship.

I heard that you went down the valley yourself to look for her last night.

I can't thank you enough.

You are welcome, Lord Jiang.

By the way, dad,

Mr. Xiao got injured when he was trying to save me.

Let's go and check in on him quickly.

OK.

Over there.

Qingyun…

Qingyun…

Rest assured, Mr. Xiao.

I'll definitely cure you.

Take him away.

Aye.

Qingyun…

Wish you a speedy recovery.

I'll go to see you some days later.

Qingyun!

Lord Jiang,

I'll take leave first.

Herbal Lord Valley

has all the medicinal herbs for people in Daxing City.

I took people to plant them myself.

No.

When I was gathering herbs at night,

I found poisonous weeds all over the mountain.

Why can't I see them now?

You can't tell the difference between herbs since childhood.

Besides, it was dark at night,

you must have mistaken them for something else.

Not really, dad.

Go home quickly.

Be good.

Go, go, go.

Go.

Here.

Let's go.
