I have no appetite, I'm done
Sit down, 90 in and ask Shi Chun to come out for dinner again
We've asked many times, he insists to stay inside the room
I cannot carry him out by force, can I?
We were supposed to celebrate new year's eve together happily over reunion dinner
We are so sad now because of a single mistake by one person
It's New Year's Eve, I have enough troubles already
Do you have to sprinkle salt on my wound?
Have I said it wrong? I have been proud for his honesty and generosity
Look at what happened, what is this?
When I entered this house and saw the fragrant flowers and wind chime
I know there is something wrong
How would she be so kind to clean your house for you?
She was trying to snatch Shi Chun away
Don't say that, Mother. They behave themselves
They have never ever crossed the line
You're still defending him?
Shi Chun is unfaithful to daughter-in-law
Don't blame Shi Chun, I am responsible for this outcome
Before Shi Chun was married, he was already in love with Miss Tung Ching
He planned to cancel the engagement after coming back from the examination
You just don't know about it
If you have to count who has sacrificed the most
Tung Ching has sacrificed the most before Mo Yung left home
She loves a man to such an extent
Waiting for him even though there can never be a happy ending
I don't think I can do it
He is in love with Tung Ching first, he's torn between love and honor
Shi Chun has tried hard to protect Mo Yung, therefore he didn't tell the truth
Shi Chun
Father, Mother
You look so worn-out
Will Mo Yung come back with you sitting here like that?
I took great effort in making the sweet dumplings
You must eat one whole bowl
Aren't you mad at me?
Yes, it's New Year's Eve and we're missing a family member tonight
We feel bad about it
Because of this, we must treasure the time we have as a family together
We must eat the sweet dumplings
I am sorry for this
Silly, even if the whole world accuse you
Your family will never desert you
I understand your pain, you must keep it up at a time like this
I know
Parents know the truth behind this
If you need my help, just say so
I am willing to die as long as Mo Yung agrees to come home
Kwo Chun, it's new year, don't mention something about dying
Shi Chun, I have only one wish for the new year
Don't worry, I will try hard to persuade Mo Yung to come home
Red pocket money, everybody has one
Yours, and this is for daughter-in-law
You must pass it to her personally
I will, Mother
Alright, time for sweet dumplings, we are a family that stays together
Brother will reunite with his wife soon
Time for sweet dumplings
Come on and have some
They're still warm Come and eat
Sister Yat
It's new year, you are not welcome here
No, I'd like to know how Tung Ching...
I don't plan to sweep the floor on the first day of the New Year, since there's rubbish
It'd be too late to sweep it on the second day of New Year
He is your benefactor, after all
My benefactor who values love and honor is dead
He's only concerned about his wife now I Move!
For those who have legs, run!
You were almost swept away!
I am sorry
You shouldn't be apologizing to me, right?
How is Tung Ching doing? Dunno
You have every right to be mad at me, I handled the whole matter badly
But I really want to know how Tung Ching is
I said I don't know Shifu
I didn't say that because I'm mad, I really don't know
She started to hide in her room two nights ago, she hasn't come out
When we send the meals in, she didn't even thank you for the effort
She hides inside and stares blankly
My daughter turns out like this, I should be mad at you
However, she has made her own choices, I shouldn't blame you
I don't know how I can amend this
Don't look down on my daughter, she is a very tough girl
Perhaps it's a good thing for her to be released from the difficult love triangle
All she needs is time, give her some space
When Tung Ching was young and she fell, she refused to let others help her
She had to stand up again on her own, this is her character
Give some space to yourself, too. Nobody has done wrong in this
Don't take up all the blame
Shifu? You aren't on duty today
I went to your home this morning
Your butler told me you have come here early in the morning. I'd like to talk
Please sit down, Shifu
How is Mo Yung doing?
She is too heartbroken, she can't even cry
She's physically weak, she might not take it
Mrs Li is stronger than we think
She still asks me to help you revise the Compendium now
The relationship of the three of us turned out so worse
If I don't have the mission to revise the Compendium
I would leave everything behind and go away
Don't think like that, Mrs Li asked me to help you revise the Compendium
If you leave without doing it, she'd be deeply disappointed
Don't give up, she still cares about you
Imperial Doctor Li
Chancellor
You are not on duty today
Chancellor! Chancellor! What is it?
Her Majesty has asked you and Imperial Doctor Li to Zhonghua Palace
Something is wrong with His Majesty
Fly! Fly! Fly!
It's dangerous, Your Majesty! Get down
So many clouds, it's lovely!
I can fly! Fly! Fly!
Don't do it, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, what's wrong?
Doctor Li, help His Majesty
Has His Majesty taken the pills?
Yes, normally he'd sleep after taking them
He suddenly came out today, saying he is flying and becoming a fairy
Wait for me! Wait for me!
Be careful, Your Majesty
I can fly!
So many fairies! Don't go, wait for Mel
Your Majesty Fairies!
If you want to become a fairy, I can take you to an even better place
Where? Take Mel Fairies!
Guards, take His Majesty back inside
His Majesty's body is hot, his liver and kidney weak, and lips deep red
He has taken some poisonous pills
What should we do?
First we need to wake him up
Why am I here? Where did I go?
Hau, ignite some musk
Your Majesty, how do you feel?
I feel great before I woke up
I kind of miss it now
Do you remember what has happened?
I saw a lot of fairies, they asked me to join them flying and become a fairy
You'd feel excited after taking the pills
Therefore you felt like flying
No, the feeling was so real, I did seem to possess the power of flying
You said it's hallucination, are you going to talk about the harms of the pills?
The pills are anesthetics
They'd harm your body in the long run
Is that true?
That's too much of a claim, Doctor Li
Alchemy has been around for over a few hundred years
Before you become a fairy, you'd feel the fairyland in your head
His Majesty has taken the pills for years and gathered a lot of power
If he gives up now, the past efforts will be wasted
Grand Counselor, your claim sounds real
May I ask who has ever become a fairy?
His Majesty is the emperor, possessing supernatural powers
Are you saying that you don't believe that His Majesty can become a fairy?
That's enough, stop arguing
I did feel light as feather after taking the pills
I even saw Imperial Concubine Tuen in the fairyland
I traveled with her, I was so happy
I am tired now, please leave me
We shall leave now, Your Majesty
His Majesty thought he was flying because he has taken the pills
He fell into a daze after taking the pills
He didn't know what he was doing
When I tried the drugs, I had hallucinations all the time
When the effects were over, I was exhausted
Have you checked the ingredients of Yim Sung's pills?
I saw gold dragon stone, monk's river mineral and jade maiden
They have made up these names to cover up
I heard of monk's river mineral in Yunnan
It is in fact sulphur
Sulphur? How can you take it internally over a long period of time?
That's the strange part, Yim Sung tried the pills in front of His Majesty every time
Why is he alright?
Alchemists usually stay by the fire to check the pill-making progress
They inhale the poison from the pills
Therefore they have to refine the pills
both externally and internally
Internally?
That means qigong
I believe Yim Sung has been practicing with Shiu Yuen Chit for detoxification
Father, you're back?
Tung Ching
Please continue, I won't disturb you
Sister Yat, I want to eat some congee, please get it for me
Alright, let me escort you to the kitchen
She doesn't seem to see me
Do you expect her to bow to you?
Right, consider yourself lucky since she didn't scold you
I am right, they are practicing qigong to get rid of the toxins
This Taoist priest knows how to pick a spot
This is a remote but scenic place, the perfect place for qigong practice
Yim Sung is an evil man! He is feeding poison to His Majesty
We have to reveal his plans
My lord, you have a confused mind today, your practice will come out of nothing
I must get rid of the evil qi soon
Patience is needed for practice, shall we continue tomorrow...
No! It's dangerous to keep the evil qi inside me for one extra day
You can leave first, don't disturb me
Alright, please take care
What is he doing?
He's been possessed by the evil power
I will go out to save him, stay here
Master, be patient
Your pulse is weak and scattered, your tongue is white
Your eyes are motionless
You were in great danger just now
The evil qi was out of control and blocking
Let me be frank, your pulse tells me that
You have the habit of taking pills, right?
Miracle Doctor, please help me further
by escorting me back to Yim's Mansion and attend to me, alright?
Fine, I'll prescribe some detoxifying medicines for you, too
Thank you
Grand Counselor, this tea consists of golden thread, rehmannia roots
Ejiao, danshen root
Good for bad heart and kidney
It can revive the heart and kidney, nourishing and unblocking the veins
Without your help, I might have died
This is a piece of cake to me
You are learned in pills and alchemy
I know best how to detoxify with toxins
Toxins build up in the body when you take pills for a long period of time
Detoxification is needed
May I know your name and that of your Shifu?
I am Little Buddha, I learn from traveling
and learning from everywhere
My techniques are too acute for the fainthearted, therefore unaccepted
Little Buddha, you possess great medical skills, will you be interested in
becoming a doctor in my mansion?
Thank you for your interest, frankly
Although I have been deemed Little Buddha the Miracle Doctor
I have never cured the rich and powerful, it is kind of a regret for me
If you're willing to work for me, I can name you a court officer
I shall try my best to serve you
My father will call upon you when in need
Escort Little Buddha out, you are entitled to a monetary reward
Thank you, goodbye
Little Buddha is a detox expert, he is better than both Vice Chancellors
He is the prefect candidate to make detoxifying medicines for His Majesty
We don't have to make up our mind now
Although he has great skills, Little Buddha shows up out of the blue
Let me do a check on him
Good
Come on Where are we going?
Tung Ching, come on
I want to go inside
Uncle, Sister Yat
Master Pong Have you come for me?
You've come out at last, I was thinking of
ways to lure you out of Cuisine Cuisine
You should have told me your plan, I spent so much time to persuading her
You should go out to breathe in fresh air and admire the lovely scenery
You'll feel refreshed
It's too sunny today
You have never been so fussy, should I get an umbrella to cover you?
Somebody need to keep an eye on Chun Sin Mei
Am I not somebody? Go and have fun
Let's go
Do you feel better by admiring the scenery?
There are a lot of pretty flowers ahead, let me show them to you
You look lost, are you still unhappy?
You might not believe me, I don't blame anyone but myself
I tried hard to protect Shi Chun and Mo Yung's relationship
Yet I have ruined it single-handedly
Don't take up all the blame
I have hurt Mo Yung, that is a fact. I don't mind being accused at
I only mind that if they separate in the end
Shi Chun will regret it, I will regret more
You've hurt the most among the three of you
Firstly, you can't let go of your feelings for Shifu
Secondly, you have to bear accusations
Thirdly, you have to help others in fulfilling their wishes
I cannot do that as a man
I feel your pain as your friend
The deities haven't punished me enough
More pain is going to come
I can't help you with anything
Aren't you taking me to see flowers?
Right, let's go over there
Aren't the flowers lovely? They are
Pick one for yourself as an encouragement
Why are you picking the grass?
I am getting rid of the grass, so that the flower can bloom even prettier
Instead of picking it, we should let it grow in its natural environment
Even when it withers, it will grow again next year
That shows you have hope for the future
I am tired, shall we return now?
Are you alright?
I'm fine, I feel dizzy after kneeing for too long, are you worried that I might fall?
Care to be my walking stick?
It's funny how the uncle is guided by her Junior Brother's protege
Young Miss, all alone by yourself?
No one can help to ease your boredom?
Let me keep you company, shopkeeper
Get a bottle of wine for this young miss, it's my treat
Miss, can I join you? Go away!
You have a bad temper, have you been deserted by another man?
What a bitch!
How dare you to make a scene here when Master Yim is around!
I dare not to!
She is my friend, if you dare to offend her again, I won't let it pass easily
Yes, I understand
Beat it! Leave!
Miss, are you alright?
I am fine, thanks for your help
Do you mind if I sit down? Please do
Let me introduce myself, my name is Yim
I know, he called you so
I know you are Miss Tung Ching, the owner of Chun Sin Mei
I have a business, no wonder you know me
Although Chun Sin Mei is only a small business
It has grown its fame in the capital, that is quite an accomplishment
Am I fortunate enough to have you personally prepare a meal for me?
I haven't personally cooked for a long time
You seem to have a lot on your mind, do share it with me, I might be able to help
Thank you for your concern, but I don't want to tell you
I understand, this is an inappropriate place for you to drink alone here
If you don't mind, call me to keep you company for a drink next time
It's late, I should go
Shopkeeper Yes
The check, please Thank you
Let me escort you
No, I am not used to that
Get a bottle of fine wine for this master, as a thank you gift for your help
Master, you seem to be interested in Miss Tung Ching
She has some character
Shifu
Shifu, what were you thinking about?
Nothing
Do you need to take few days of rest?
No, I saw Yim Sung practicing qigong to get rid of the toxins inside his body
He was almost controlled by the evil power, luckily Shifu helped him in time
He asked Shifu to be his doctor
So he is seizing the chance to investigate into Yim Sung and his alchemy?
Yim Sung wouldn't trust him easily
I know, we must plan ahead
Leave! Listen to me, Shifu!
Shut up, I don't have such a rebellious protege!
My daughter has always been taking charge of Chun Sin Mei
You are working against her with your wife
Your wife claims to be the boss now
You are trying to kick my daughter out!
It's a misunderstanding!
Shut up! You are so ungrateful! You are a court official now
You don't respect me anymore! You are so ungrateful!
Shifu!
Tung Ching often burnt the midnight oil to revise the Compendium for you
Yet you mistreat her! Let me tear it apart!
Shifu! Don't!
How could you do that? That's too much!
You are ungrateful to me, can't I do that?
I don't want to see you again! Leave!
Master, they have really parted their ways
Little Buddha, how am I doing?
You can relax now, after several dosages of the detoxifying medications
The toxins in your body have been expelled
You'll fully recover when you take a few more dosages to regulate the body
I am relieved, I have a question for you
Please ask
How will you detoxify mercury?
After taking it immediately, pour a few egg white down the victim's mouth
Or use radish juice or green bean water
All of which can induce vomiting
What about a complete cleansing?
That'd require glabrous greenbrier rhizome, Indian beuad, job's tears and licorice
With your talents, you can be more than a common doctor
I will recommend you for an office position
Thank you, if I ever become a court doctor
My position must be higher than Li Shi Chun
Li Shi Chun?
He used to my protege
He disregarded me after he became an imperial doctor himself
He has maltreated my daughter, too
Therefore my position must be higher than him, in order to rule over him
How immoral is Li Shi Chun in private life
Don't worry, your position will be higher
That's great, thank you, Grand Counselor
Go home first, I shall call upon you when I need you again
Goodbye, My lord
Father, I have checked, Little Buddha has grown apart with Li Shi Chun
We can ask Little Buddha to produce detoxifying medicine for us
So that His Majesty can take the pills while staying alive
Sai Fan, why did you ask me to ask him only for mercury poisoning?
Why don't we tell him all the ingredients of our pills all at once?
We have to be careful, we don't know Little Buddha well enough to tell him everything
Shifu is coming
Grand master
Nobody is around, I checked
How is it going?
How did Yim and his son respond?
Our act was useful
Yim Sung said he'd recommend me for a court position before His Majesty
Shifu, only the three of us may know this
Don't let Tung Ching know
The fewer people know, the less dangerous it is
What if Tung Ching knows?
She is not her usual self lately, she either breaks or bumps into something
I am worried that she can't recover after this episode
Grand master, have you found any clues from Yim Sung and son?
They are smart, they haven't told me the ingredients of their pills
They have only asked me the way to detoxify mercury poisoning
They don't fully trust me
Is there mercury inside the pills?
More than that, we have analyzed them
Apart from powder of five minerals
They might have mix marijuana in them
Without solid proof of the poisonous ingredients inside the pills
We cannot charge them of any crime
Shifu, you have to gather evidence from them
Alright, I will do that
Tung Ching, you never believe in the deities
Why do you come to the temple today?
When there is something on your mind which you can neither solve nor tell others
You have to resort to the comfort of the deities and seek for a moment of peace
Buddha, I want to see your face
I fear that I might not be able to see the road ahead of me
Please tell me if there is a solution or not
Don't be sad about an unrequited love
It's not worth it to cry yourself blind
I rather be blind at heart, then I would feel nothing, and I'd be happier
Miss, you must go out more for fresh air
Don't imprison yourself, you'd look better by breathing in heavenly air
That's good, when you're in heaven, you wouldn't be troubled
Reunite with Master, you won't be troubled anymore
I thought the love of my life is the most important thing in my life
Without it, I'd die
The thing I fear the most now
is to experience apathy one day
Don't, you'll reunite with Master
There are charms over there, get one and it will bring you good luck
Come on, you have to pick one yourself
It's you again, why do you fight over everything with my Miss?
What are you talking about?
Did I say anything wrong? Miss won't end up like this if you didn't fight with her
Tung Ching has never fought over anything with your Miss
Don't speak when you don't know the truth
Somebody has an extra-marital affair with my Master and ruined a fine couple
You must feel great now, right? My Miss has been so kind to you
Not knowing that you are a vixen!
That's too much, do you know that Tung Ching and Shi Chun were...
Stop it, let's go
Go quickly, otherwise the deities will condemn you for your deeds!
You are a Senior Sister on the outside but the third party in a love triangle!
Shut up! Do you know who is the third party?
If your Miss wasn't claiming to become a nun
Shi Chun would have married Tung Ching
You are the third party!
That's ridiculous, my Miss has been engaged to Master since she was 14
So what? When Shi Chun went to Wuchang for his examination
He has planned to cancel the engagement after he came home from the exam
He likes Tung Ching, not you
Is that the truth?
He married you out of gratitude and responsibility
Tung Ching is the one he loves
I know this is cruel for you
But I cannot bear to see Tung Ching being blamed for something she didn't do
Why is this happening?
Don't say things just to irritate my Miss!
You can ask Shi Chun about it
Everything is all my fault!
You have so much more than Tung Ching
You married Shi Chun
You have his care and protection
What about Tung Ching? Shi Chun and she love each other
Yet she has to suppress her feelings and to bear the moral consequence
In order to protect your marriage
She claims that hers is an unrequited love
Can you do that if you're in her shoes?
I don't know, I don't know anything
I've told you the truth for you to think about who hurts the most in this case?
Have a seat
Sister Yat? You're here? You don't have to feel sorry for me
It's all my fault to be blamed and accused
This is my well deserved end
If I could lay down my feelings for Shi Chun
Disappear forever, he doesn't have to concern about my feelings
When has loving someone become a crime?
Stop wiping, Sister Yat. I don't know what I can do to amend the situation
Please leave, Sister Yat. I want to be alone
What happened to your eyes?
You're Mo Yung?
Have you become blind? When did it happen? Why?
Let go of me
I won't let you go if you don't explain yourself
When did it happen? After that day?
I couldn't take what has happened
I felt so painful in my heart, my head felt like exploding
When I reopened my eyes, my eyesight has become blurry and dark
When I checked the medical manuals, I found out this is called sudden blindness
Why don't you tell us? Does anybody know?
I have to take you to Shi Chun and ask Little Buddha to cure you
No, I don't want anybody to worry for me
Don't tell Shi Chun about this
I cannot watch you like this
Promise me, consider! have no courage to face anybody else, please
I am sorry
Are you blind? What's the matter with you?
I'm sorry, let me wipe it clean for you
No, if you want to apologize, sit down and have a drink with me
Let go of me! Sit down first
Let go of her!
This is a restaurant, how can you do that?
Who are you?
I am the owner this restaurant, you are not welcome in here, please leave!
I am a customer here, and you asked me to leave?
Are you here as a patron or a troublemaker? I will report to the court if you don't go!
I will go!
Miss, you were so authoritative
You sounded like a lady of the house, nobody will bully you anymore
Shut up, Tung Ching, go and rest
I will take care of this place
Miss, you'll take care of here?
Yes
Mo Yung
I have made the decision, I will do whatever you have been doing in the past
Daughter-in-law, I'm dizzy...
Tung Ching, let me escort you to the room
Are you alright? Sit down
I was afraid that you'll have an argument with Tung Ching, therefore I felt dizzy
She was worried in the day and sleepless at night
Daughter-in-law, a couple's quarrels can be settled overnight
You had your quarrel, it's time to...
Father-in-law, please escort Mother-in-law home, I have much to do here
Why does Mo Yung become like this out of the blue? She is too arrogant
Tung Ching, stop working, think of a way to deal with this
Deal with what?
She is coming onto you
She acted like the big boss around here
She is seizing control of this restaurant
Mo Yung is not like that
If not, why does she show up suddenly?
She said she will do whatever you have been doing in the past
She is trying to replace you
She is trying to help me
Come on, don't defend her
You have hurt so much in this, recently, you either break things
or put the wrong ingredients into the soup
I know, I can't take it anymore
What did you say? Are you saying that you're going to pass the store to her?
Don't worry, I will help you
Alright, take care of the shop front
Be careful, your can't see now
Don't touch this, it's dangerous, let me help you do it
I have thought about closing the restaurant
It's your labor of love, you can't close it
My eyes are now...
Don't worry, I will take care of the restaurant for you from today onwards
until you recover
You're willing to help me?
Of course, who else can help you?
I have shares in this restaurant, too. I won't let it close down
You have changed
I am alone now, I have to be strong
I am sorry, if not for me
You won't turn out like this with Shi Chun
It's not your fault, when I calm down and think about it, it's nobody's fault
It's only a result of a mismatch in timing
I'd rather you blame me, I'd feel better
Don't talk about that, we need to treat your eyes as soon as possible
But you don't want to let others know
You know medicine, you should be able to treat your eyes, shouldn't you?
