How dare you send men to steal poison!

You promised her that you won't harm the innocent!

I promised not to raze Tang Sect to the ground, but I didn't say I'll spare them!

I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine!

You don't know a thing!

Tang Huan consumes arsenic daily, so he must have the antidote.

If you do this,

you'll just be harming innocent folks.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

Who knew you would do it secretly?

You didn't even use your brain before you took action.

Tang Sect excels in the use of poisons.

- Men! - Present!

Stop!

- Xiao Shan. - Are you all right?

How is it? Is it...

Immediately deploy the Black Armored Guards to rase them to the ground!

- Yes! - Your Highness!

Don't be impulsive. Calm down.

I also detest Tang Sect.

But when you are too quick to raze someone's place,

it's not good for the peace and harmoney in the martial arts world.

I know you care about all the people in the world.

Everyone sees how you treat the people.

It's not your style to kill indiscriminately.

It's an exception this time.

Be calm, Your Highness. You really don't understand women.

Ye Xi already said she wants to exact the revenge on her own.

She also has the capability to revenge.

How can you take away the chance for her to revenge by herself?

Don't you agree?

Forget it.

- All of you, stand down. - Yes!

Miss.

Are you hungry?

Eat a little.

Here.

I'll do it myself.

- What is this? - Ginseng and Bird's Nest.

I'm wrong. It's Panax Ginseng. (from Korea)

His Highness couldn't find ginseng anywhere. This is the best he could get.

Are you not used to it, Miss Ye?

- Take it away. Take it away. - Yes.

Why didn't she eat it?

Miss Ye didn't want to eat it.

Do you dare to defy my order?

- We wouldn't dare. - We wouldn't dare.

Why are you angry with them when I don't eat.

You are injured and your primal force is exhausted.

You need to take supplements.

From now on, you must watch Miss finish eating it for all three meals every day.

- Yes. - Yes.

What?

I have to eat this for all three meals every day?

That's right.

This would be even more unbearable than the food in Fenghua Valley.

- I'm not eating it. - Don't be so willful.

If Miss doesn't eat it,

you will keep kneeling and not even get up when your legs are broken.

Why don't you break my legs?

Don't say nonsense. I'm only doing it for your sake.

When I hear those words, I just can't stand it.

The way you are now,

It really makes my heart ache.

Your body needs to be greatly supplemented.

Too bad here isn't any of the best old ginseng.

I'm experiencing backlash.

No supplement can help.

Wh-What backlash?

I...

Forget it.

I'm tired and want to sleep.

All of you can leave for now.

- You can leave. - Yes.

Ar-Aren't you leaving?

You want to watch me sleep?

I'll watch you fall asleep.

I won't let you out of my sight.

When we, a single man and a single woman, stay in a room by ourselves, don't you think

this is a bad idea?

It is just a room.

It's not like we didn't slelep in the same bed before.

I'm afraid that other people will think differently.

Who would dare?

After you recover, I'll take you back to the capital.

I've already suppressed the turmoil.

The entire royal court is under my control now.

I am going to give you the grandest and most luxurious

wedding in view of the whole world.

I'll make you the most powerful and noble woman in the world.

Wait. Stop, stop.

Did you say you're going to marry me?

I used to always let you get your way.

I missed out too much already.

I've finally understood.

To keep you, I have to forcibly marry you.

You are taking advantage of my time of peril.

You are injured. No wonder you have a little temper.

It's fine.

It's all good as long as we are together.

You'd better shut up.

I don't want to be a princess consort.

Isn't it good to be the princess consort?

Unless, you want to be the queen?

If you want to be king, that's your business and has nothing to do with me.

Even if you want to make me Queen of Heaven, I still wouldn't be interested.

For me, I just want to be an ordinary good woman.

Wrong.

Even if I'm married, I'll still be a good young woman.

I'll live the most ordinary married life.

About that, you understand, don't you?

In fact,

no one likes to be forced.

For me,

I only want the freedom to choose.

If this freedom

must be used to exchange,

it's like putting my life on someone's

blade.

Do you understand now?

Xiao Xi, don't worry.

Other than me,

no one can force you to do anything.

You must be tired.

Sleep now.

I understand.

After going through those nightmarish experiences, you must be afraid of sleeping alone.

I'll stay with you.

You won't be afraid of anything then.

No, no...

Why don't you understand?

I'm not afraid, nor do I need you. Hurry and leave.

From this moment on, I will stay close to protect you, not even a step away.

I'll bring the best of everything to you.

But in your eyes and heart,

there can only be one person.

That's me.

Let me tell you this.

If it weren't for the fact that I can't fight over you...

Go ahead. You can hit me all you want. I won't fight back.

You aren't speeking, so you agree?

Go ahead and sleep.

I wonder how Ye Xi is now.

The wind is howling, so chilly is the Yi River! (verse from ancient poem "Farewell by Yi River")

Ye Xi needs our help. Come, let's go take a look.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

You are swinging and swaying back and forth. How can I sleep?

I'll sit down to watch you sleep then.

Our eldest miss wants to go in to see Miss Ye.

No one is allowed inside without His Highness' order.

That... sounds like Xiao Xiao.

She must need me on something. Let her in.

- Let her in. - Yes.

Hanzi, wait for me here.

Yes.

Why did you come here?

I...

I couldn't sleep.

Perfect.

I can't sleep, either.

I want to take a bath first. I feel sticky all over.

You are covered in wounds, so you can't touch water.

Your Highness, you don't understand it.

For a woman, even if she's lost an arm or a leg,

she still wants to take a bath.

All right.

I'll get the water ready for you.

Wait, wait, wait...

I need flowing water

so that my wounds won't get infected.

I happened to see a hot spring in the mountain out back.

- Really? - Yeah. - Hurry and take me there.

- Let's go. - I can't wait.

Go, go, go.

No...

What's the matter? I'm taking a bath, and you'll still follow me?

- If anything happens to her- - I'll be right there.

I guarantee nothing will happen to her. She wouldn't even lose one strand of hair.

Go.

Go slowly.

Stop, stop, stop!

Put me down.

What's wrong? We aren't there yet.

This is good. Thanks.

But, what are you doing? We aren't there yet.

I think I hear the sound of water.

It should be nearby.

I can walk on my own.

But, are you all right with your injuries?

Are you really going to bathe?

What else will I do?

All right then.

When you go back after taking the bath,

remember to let Bai Yue apply new medication on you.

Can you help me escape from Can Qi?

My guards can't overcome the Black Armored Guards.

Even if

I use my Tyrant Shooter to hold him by surprise,

you still can't get away with such severe injuries.

It's best to wait for Bai Yue heal your injuries first, then you can make a plan.

What you say makes sense.

I'll go back in a while then.

Then... why did you want to run away?

Unless,

he wants to do something to you?

No.

It's not that he isn't good to me, but he is too good to me.

I don't know if you understand how it feels.

It's like,

you're not cold,

but someone thinks it's very cold at night

and insists on putting a heavy coat on you.

Will you be touched?

I will slap him on the face. I don't need him to decide whether I feel cold.

Beautiful!

You think exactly like I do.

Thank you, buu you should go back first.

But, you really don't need my help?

Although we are both women,

but it's still not convenient.

All right. You can go down that way.

Be careful by yourself.

Hanzi, wait here.

Go there when she calls for you.

Yes.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

- Where is Bai Yue? - He should be taking a bath in his room.

That Young Master Chu insisted on coming out and going back in a few tiems.

I've no idea what he was doing.

Forget about them.

Miss Lin and the others went to the hot spring in the back mountain. Should we get more guards to protect them?

Don't get too close!

Wait at the foot of the mountain.

Don't allow anyone go in either.

Yes.

This water isn't deep. Why are you screaming for no reason?

Why are you here?

Can't you sleep without tempting death?

I should be asking you why you're here!

Isn't he at your side all day and night?

If you sneak out here late at night,

do you know how worried I'll be?

I'm worried sick that you'll choke to death on food or die from a scalded tongue when drinking water.

Look where you are now.

Are you trying to drown here?

What's the point of being so frazzled?

Why are you so worried about me?

That's because he'll pin your death on me if I can't cure you.

My medical skills aren't lacking.

You're just bent on torturing yourself.

The best method is to knock you out cold.

Otherwise, even the best Miracle Physician can't cure you.

Wait, you're mistaken!

I'm terrified of death.

I want to recover quickly, but I just need the right method.

Method? What method?

Sneaking out here in the dead of the night?

Are you trying to absorb the spiritual energy of the world and the essence of the planets?

How did you know?

I reckon you should find a spot to bury your head.

Let's see if you can sprout a new head.

Why are you so all-knowing?

I'm feeling cold.

That's because you lost too much blood.

Hold on!

What are you doing?

Bai Yue!

Is he angry or embarrassed?

Is his itch acting up again?

When I touched him back then, he had the same reaction.

Is his ailment really related to me?

What's wrong with you? Did you-

S-Stop! This tea...

That's good tea. Drinking more will do you good.

Should I get you a doctor?

Let me take a look.

Y-You're fine? Are you sure?

What tea is this?

Longjing tea.

Why does it taste like this again?

What ginseng is this?

There's even Bird's Nest in this.

If you refuse such fantastic supplements, I'll finish it for you.

I'm planning to hire someone to write a storybook.

It'll be based on you.

The story will narrate how you were manipulated by Tang Huan,

betrayed by him,

and then almost killed by him.

The title should be

"Sobering from A Dream: A Romance in the New Chaotic Age of Tang".

After that, I'll distribute it widely

and warn our fellow women in the martial arts world.

What do you think?

Are you trying to rub salt into my wound?

I'm trying to caution women in the martial arts world!

It's to help them identify the lies and ploys of men.

So, it's important

to relate the process of how you were deceived.

As for revenge,

not everyone is as capable as you are.

So, it's far better

for them to keep their distance and be cautious.

But...

won't I seem very dumb?

Storybooks are all exaggerations.

In order to prevent more women

from falling prey to devious men,

why don't you make a small sacrifice?

Why must I be the one to sacrifice myself?

That's because...

I've never encountered a devious man before.

Your luck is horrible.

You've met three at one go.

Can't you be gentler with your words?

I'm feeling unjust for you!

How unfortunate must one be

to suffer such a fate?

Since you've survived such a bloody past,

you should share your experiences.

Don't be so petty.

Lin Xiaoxiao!

Are you even my good friend?

I am!

I'm being so blunt because you're my friend!

Pleasantries are saved for strangers.

You...

Women are truly more vicious than men! Get out!

A quarrel always works best.

Even I'm feeling relieved.

Bai Yue said you've longed for a marriage celebration.

After such a traumatic experience, you didn't even cry or make a fuss.

Yet, you don't seem quite right either.

He's afraid that you're bottling up your anger.

This frustration will plague you and affect your recovery.

That's why he asked me to think of a solution

to help you vent your anger.

Look.

You were bed ridden moments ago.

Now, you're sitting up!

Do you feel better?

What's on his mind?

Does he even understand what I feel?

Nonetheless, thank you.

There's no need to thank me!

Bai Yue...

owes me another favor.

H-H-Hold on!

Can you eat outside? The smell is making me nauseous.

I'll be done soon.

Your Highness.

Tang Sect has sent a letter.

The sect lord wishes to speak with you in person.

This concerns Miss Ye's secret.

I can't be blamed if he's digging his own grave.

Make sure you keep this a secret from the princess consort.

When I return to the capital,

I'll marry her.

Congratulations, Your Highnesses.

I'll make arrangements to ensure that he dies here.

Leave.

Before His Highness left,

he ordered us to stay by Your Highness's side at all times.

Your Highness?

Don't call me what I'm not.

My head hurts! I can't breathe!

So many of you are surrounding me!

You're blocking the wind! It's so hot!

Well, we...

Didn't you hear her? Her head hurts so badly, she can't breathe.

If she really loses her life,

your prince won't spare you.

Is it easier to breathe now?

Can you undo this white cloth?

If you do so, I'll be able to breathe normally.

You were soaking in the medicinal bath last night

and applied medicinal ointment.

You have to wrapped up like this.

The medicine used on you is worth millions. Not a single bit should be wasted.

Did you help me change into these clothes?

I remember falling asleep in the bath.

Wake up from that nonsense.

You should thank Lin Xiaoxiao's guards for carrying you back.

As for the medicine,

the other guards were vying to help apply that.

No one could even intervene.

I have no desire to be the princess consort.

I much rather be a demoness.

They're driving me mad.

They force me to eat things I don't want to eat.

I'm starting to miss the food at Fenghua Valley.

You can't move right now, so you should resign to being a doll.

I can't move right now,

but you can't feed me medicine with your mouth.

I'm pretty sure you didn't hurt your organs.

Your brain is the damaged part.

By the way,

your strange ailment acted up yesterday.

Does it still itch?

Keep an eye on her and make sure she finishes the medicine.

Yes.

- Your Highness! - I need to speak to you!

- Your Highness, finish the medicine. - Be good and finish it.

- You'll be fine after finishing the medicine. - I don't want to! Get lost!

Your Highness, it's our honor that you're in Shu.

As the host-

Cut the crap.

Your Highness,

I heard that you were merciless

in suppressing evil and opposition.

I'm willing to offer the Storm Pear Flower Needle

and formula for making Thunder Bombs to you.

With these two treasures,

your Black Armored Guards are bound to be unbeatable.

Is that all you wished to say?

There is more about Ye Xi.

The assassination ploy in the guise of marriage wasn't my plan.

I was under the pressure of fellow martial artists.

I just stepped up as the sect lord,

but there are millions of things waiting to be done.

As long as you're willing to support Tang Sect,

I'll divulge some secrets to you.

The Miracle Physician, Bai Yue, who saved Ye Xi

is the elusive valley master of Fenghua Valley.

Word has it that Fenghua Valley has fortunes equal to an entire kingdom.

Generations of valley masters have amassed treasures.

Ye Xi has a secret book titled Scripture of Materia Medica.

I'm sure you've heard of it.

The previous crown prince coveted this scripture.

That's why he killed her.

Apparently, that scripture has the formula

for longevity and energy nourishment.

I'll give you one last chance.

What do you want to say?

Ye Xi and Bai Yue must have an unspeakable relationship!

My guess is that the scripture comes from Fenghua Valley.

I heard that the valley has a idyllic underground palace.

Bai Yue has only brought Ye Xi in there.

They even spent a long time there.

Your Highness,

don't you want those treasures and that scripture?

However, you just quelled an uprising and can't stir a fuss.

Tang Sect is willing to be your pawns and work in the shadows.

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

The Storm Pear Flower Needle is in here.

I'll present it to you first.

You're a resourceful man.

I believe that you'll have the capability

to find the disciple of Lu Ban and open the box.

Take your pretentious face elsewhere.

I'm out of patience.

Do the Storm Pear Flower Needle or Thunder Bombs belong to you?

You snatched those from others. Save your sincere act.

Even I can't find the disciple of Lu Ban, yet you want to find him?

Dream on.

Why are you here?

I couldn't sleep well last night, so I'm taking a stroll.

You hurt Ye Xi so terribly!

Even I want to seek justice and punish you!

Don't force my hand before His Highness!

His Highness can kill you with a snap!

You have no right to be negotiating.

Scram back to Tang Sect

or risk getting killed!

Retreat.

I'm furious too.

Ruining his pretty face feels good,

but let Ye Xi take his life.

You won't attack Fenghua Valley, will you?

The world is mine.

That puny Fenghua Valley is nothing.

Well, why did you...

Ye Xi and Bai Yue.

What is their relationship?

It's as what you've seen.

You've never gazed at me like this. I'll think you have feelings for me.

I-I'm talking about camaraderie!

T-Talk calmly. Please don't resort to violence.

I know you have loads of questions,

but I'm really clueless. This has nothing to do with me.

The tea you drank yesterday was just Longjing tea with chrysanthemum.

It's meant to cool the body.

Perhaps you just have a short fuse and a riled up spirit.

A doctor should inquire into an ailment's roots.

I'm sure the source of your frustrations right now

is formulating the fastest method to get Miss Ye out of here.

In no time, Miss Ye will be donning marriage robes once more

and becoming the princess consort!

You know quite a bit.

Do you have an idea in mind?

Well...

I'm well aware of my abilities

but I can gauge your chances of success.

I might as well help you look into your future.

We shouldn't remain in this problematic place.

You should leave this place with Lin Xiaoxiao quickly.

Once we leave, you'll be left here alone.

What unspeakable secrets do you share with Ye Xi?

What did you two do in Fenghua Valley?

Your Highness!

You can talk,

but can you lower your sword first?

If you don't explain yourself today,

I'll kill him!

Your Highness, are you mistaken?

I'm not involved in this!

Exactly, a threat with his life

doesn't matter to me.

Darn you!

Your Highness!

Th-Thank you.

Why are they in another fight?

Don't ask! Let's run!

You're comrades who went braved death together! How can you flee by yourself?!

Cang Qi has lost his mind! He's slashing everyone in his path!

Let's not cause more problems! Run and save ourselves from the bloodbath!

- Come on! - Wait!

Bai Yue! What's that Scripture of Materia Medica? Why does everyone want it?

Stop asking! Let's go!

Miss Ye, you're awake.

- Where's Bai Yue? - Young Master Bai is...

Fire the arrows!

Stop!

I asked you to help me escape, but not to overexert yourself.

What have you ever given me?

Xiao Xi! Xiao Xi!

- Summon the imperial physician! - Yes!
