Now even if you don't eat It will not help matters
You have a bite first
I am not as cold-blooded as you are You can still eat
I know you are angry with me for what happened to your master
But I am a court official
I have to follow His Majesty's decree
I understand, you will do anything to keep your position
Can you be more reasonable?
What do you want me to say?
That you did the right thing arresting him?
That you just showed your loyalty to the court
My master will be executed tomorrow His wife nowhere to be found
I can do nothing for him
And I am here enjoying a sumptuous meal here with the one who arrested him
Can you see how I feel?
You think I feel easy about it?
The court forced me to
My son will not forgive me
I know Li Shi Chun is a good man
But I still had to arrest him and execute him
I did all the things I didn't want to do
You think I will feel easy?
Since you don't feel easy about it
Why did you do it?
Because it was my duty
If I can save master, I can give up my life
Don't tell me about duty
You just care about your master
Have you cared about your father?
You are my only son If something happens to you
What is promotion and wealth to me?
A man here?
Madam Madam...
Where am I? Where is my husband?
Please look for my husband for me
All right...
Li Shi Chun attempted to poison me
It was a capital crime and his family should be executed with him
Your Majesty please don't be angry
The poisoning case still needs further investigation
Your Majesty take the elixir because you want to cultivate immortality
Then you should avoid unnecessary killings
What you said is not unreasonable, but...
Your Majesty, Li Shi Chun has been loyal to the court
He has saved Your Majesty
How would he want to poison you?
And his family couldn't be accomplices
You are in no position to speak here
Your Majesty, Pong Pak Tsun, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Brocade Guards
Summon him Yes
Your Majesty Please get up
Thank you, Your Majesty
Mr Pong, why are you here?
Your Majesty, I come here to beg for mercy on the Li family's behalf
You too want to petition for Li Shi Chun?
Your Majesty, I have questioned his family
They really knew nothing of Li's poisoning attempt
They are innocent
Could Your Majesty please pardon them?
Your Majesty, if you insist in executing them for what Li Shi Chun has done
Then please grant me my resignation
I don't want to do something against my conscience
Your Majesty please reconsider
All right, since you all petitioned for them
Then I will pardon his family
But Li Shi Chun has to die
Your Majesty, I think it is only proper for him to be tried
and sentenced by the Justice Ministry
This is how our legal system works
Your Majesty, to convince the court and the people
We have to follow the proper procedure
All right, let Grand Counselor send the case to the Justice Ministry for trial
Shi Chun will not be executed for the time being
His family is pardoned
We have bought time for Shi Chun
But it is a temporary reprieve only
I don't know if we can save him
Your dad stood up for Shi Chun Even threatening to resign
You shouldn't be angry with him anymore
You should see it from his position too
I was too agitated and so retorted him
I know I was wrong
Don't worry, I will apologize to him when the chance comes
Are you Mr Pong? Yes, what is it?
Someone asked me to give you this
Thank you
It is the charm Mo Yung fought with me in the temple
Plum blossom? It is Mrs Li's painting
Mo Yung Mrs Li
Tung Ching
You know how worried we were?
I am fine, the manuscript is safe with me
How are Shi Chun and my parents-in-law?
Prince Chor and dad have won their pardon
But Master is still in prison waiting for trial
The trial can only buy him some time
Yim Sung and his son will cook up evidence to ensure his death
We have to rescue him as soon as possible
No, Yim Sai Fan is looking for you
If you show up, you will endanger yourself
I can't watch Shi Chun being executed
You just calm down
We will not let him die
I am his disciple I will find a way to rescue him
This place is quite safe You hide here for the time being
Run only when there is danger
Pong Hin and I will rescue Shi Chun
We will inform you when we get news
It is risky business rescuing Shi Chun
We have to persuade my parents-in-law to leave here
I am relieved you are all right
Tung Ching, are you leaving the capital?
I go with you
Shi Chun is in prison
Miss Tung Ching Your Highness
I come with bad news
Yim Sung really has cooked up some evidence
Shi Chun was found guilty in the trial
He will be executed tomorrow What?
You have to leave the capital and back to Qizhou as soon as possible
Uncle and I will stay and think up a way to rescue Shifu
Shi Chun is going to be executed How can we go away?
I won't leave, if he is going to die I will die with him
Yes, even if it means giving up my life
I can't leave my brother here
But rescuing Shi Chun is risky
If you all stay, you will only be a burden to Pong Hin and I
Right, I too think that you should leave
So long as Yim Sung can't get the Materia Medica
You will be his next target
I go back to find some way to rescue Dr Li
If there are anything you want, inform me
Your Highness, thank you
Why do you come to me?
Mr Yim, I want to ask you for a favour
If it is about Li Shi Chun, you can go back
No, I can't wait to see him die
I come for my dad...
Watch out
Mr Yim, I have no one to turn to but you
Miss Tung Ching, come in first
Thank you
Miss Tung Ching, you know medicine
How come your eyes fail to heal?
They would have been healed But then dad...
Watch out
And it aggravated again
It was Li Shi Chun's fault
He not only failed to return my feelings
He implicated my dad in this treacherous affair
Now he has become a fugitive And I am left to myself
Miss Tung Ching, don't be so sad It will affect your eyes
Now my dad is not around
You are the only one that cares about me
You finally understand my feelings
Actually I always do
If you are willing I will take care of you all your life
Mr Yim, I am grateful to you
But now with my dad in trouble
I have no heart for my own business
I come here to talk about him with you
Go ahead
I know without any credits It is not possible to redeem him
Why don't you let me see that rascal
I can make him tell me the whereabouts of the manuscript
Then I can redeem my dad
You are a filial daughter
But your dad is an accomplice
Even if Li Shi Chun tells you the whereabouts of the manuscript
It doesn't mean your dad can be pardoned
Mr Yim you are a councilor Your father is the Grand Counselor
One order from you and it will be done
You really can get the manuscript?
For my dad's freedom, I will try it
If he becomes a fugitive all his life
How can I care for my own future and spend my life with Mr Yim?
All right, let me arrange it for you
If I can save my dad I don't know how I can repay you
You fake blindness to get close to Yim Sai Fan
Now you use him to rescue Shifu It is dangerous
You may die anytime
Rescuing Shi Chun is more important than anything else
I have put my life and death aside
Actually you are not implicated You don't have to do it
I do it out of my own will
You do so much for Shi Chun
We don't know how to thank you
My brother is blessed
So many are willing to give up their lives for him
Tung Ching, you be careful
How come Mo Yung is not going with us?
The soldiers are looking for her
If she goes with you, it will endanger you
But leaving her alone in the capital It will be too dangerous
Don't worry, if I am still alive after rescuing Shi Chun
I promise you, I will take Mo Yung back to Binhu to be with you
Now get on board, don't let others see you
Let us go
You take care Take care
Take care Good sailing
If you give it up now No one will blame you
I have never thought of giving up since day one
You are home
Dad, you will catch cold sleeping here
I can't sleep in bed
Why not take my mind off with books
Dad, let me help you
Dad, I am sorry
I was too harsh with my words
I didn't mean to hurt you
Actually, it hurts me to see you working so hard to save your master
But then I see my son standing up against authority for justice
I feel proud of you and ashamed of myself
Dad
I have never blamed you
Actually, like you, I appreciate Li Shi Chun's talent and perseverance
I just hate myself that I can't save him
I know you have done all you could
You do everything for my own good
It was my fault I made you suffered so much
Parents only wish their children happiness
I am sorry, I have not done enough
Since mother's death, you raised me up
Now I have grown up I should take care of you
But I have not done so It is I who should feel guilty
Hin, you just do what you think are right
You will have my support
Dad
You look tired, you just go to bed
Let us have breakfast together tomorrow
Dad, you too go to bed
Tung Ching
Mo Yung, I am going into prison to rescue Shi Chun today
You bear this in mind
You wait for Pong Hin at the ten mile pavilion
I will take Shi Chun there and we can leave the capital together
But how will you rescue him?
Don't worry, Pong Hin and I have figured it all out
You go into the prison alone It will be dangerous
What if something happens to you?
To keep Shi Chun's manuscript You could jump into the sea
What is there for me to be afraid of?
I know you will do anything for Shi Chun
But whatever, you be careful
Don't let things happen to yourself
Mr Yim Open it
Yes
Tung Ching, your eyes...
My eyes failed to heal
With you and dad in trouble I have been worried sick
I have brought you the ten tonic soup
You have to take care of your health
I am going to die What do I take the soup for?
You have to thank Mr Yim
He let me come in to see you
Now you have a chance to redeem yourself
Even if you won't do it for yourself You do it for me
What can I do for you?
Just tell me the whereabouts of your manuscript
Then your life will be spared
Dad and I can get off
For the sake of our past, help me
Mr Yim, messenger from Prince Chor
What is it?
On His Highness's order
I come to invite Mr Yim to his villa
He wants to discuss Li Shi Chun's case
Miss Tung Ching
Mr Yim, I will come again after your business is done
All right, be careful
Why don't you take a rest here
I will be back as soon as it is finished
Be careful
The soup smells good
It is ten tonic soup, good for the body
If you like it, why don't you all have some
Good, it smells of medicine
Shi Chun Tung Ching
Your Highness Come here
Prince Chor has asked Mr Yim for a meeting in his villa
We have waited a long time and he still hasn't shown up
We hear that he is here I come to fetch him
But a messenger just came and Mr Yim has left
He is on his way to the villa
We must have missed each other on the road
All right, I am going back, thank you
I am fortunate to have you and Prince Chor
Or I would have been dead
Yim Sung and his son set you up
Father and I knew about it
How could we just watch you being executed?
Prince Chor is ill and still worries about me
I really am grateful
You should be grateful to Miss Tung Ching and Mr Pong
Especially Miss Tung Ching
If she didn't risk herself with Yim Sai Fan
We couldn't have got you out
You have done so much for me I really don't know what to say
If you say it again It means you don't see me as your friend
This is what father and I can do for you
From now on, you have to rely on your own
Thank you, Your Highness
It is a pity we are on the run
We can't help Prince Chor with his illness
You have to tell His Highness He has to seek medical help
Don't worry, I will
You shouldn't stay here for too long
You have to leave as soon as possible
Then see you See you
Take care
Mr Yim What happened?
Li Shi Chun has escaped, you didn't know?
What about Tung Ching?
She drugged the jailors and rescued him
You think she would wait for your return?
It is not possible, she wouldn't do it
She has drugged you as well?
You took her into the prison?
Dad, she said she could make Li Shi Chun tell her the whereabouts of the manuscript
Sol let her come in
Femme fatale indeed, you fell into her trap
She was in league with Prince Chor
They lured me out of here
Senior prince left in a carriage
Li Shi Chun must be inside
Dad, they can't go far
Let me lead men to get them back
Will the plan work? If is so dangerous
What if Tung Ching and Shi Chun can't get away?
You care so much for Master He has not lived in vain
They here?
Shi Chun Mo Yung, Mo Yung
You know how much I missed you?
I was so worried about you
Now seeing you are all right, I am relieved
The soldiers will be here soon We have to go
They are here
If we four take the carriage We can't go fast
You three get off let me lure them away with the carriage
If we have to go, we go together
Let Uncle and I lure them away
Shifu and Mrs Li you go to the pier
You will be save after crossing the river
We go back to Binhu first See you in the herbal shop
Let us split Be careful
After them
We go to the pier
What? Search! Yes
Yim Sai Fan will not let up with his search We can't stop down
We have to go back to Binhu as soon as possible
Uncle, you all right?
I am fine, fine How are you?
The road too sandy and I slipped
Uncle, it is getting dark The house is unoccupied
We stay the night here
and start anew tomorrow
No, if we don't make use of the night
We can't catch up with Shi Chun and Mo Yung
If you want a rest, suit yourself
Your sudden blindness has relapsed
Without me, can you do it?
You knew?
I knew when I felt your pulse this morning
You wouldn't admit it only
I can still walk, it is no problem at all
If you won't go, I go
Uncle You can stay
You are not a fugitive
You don't have to be on the run with me
I don't want to be your burden
That's how you see me?
All right, if you can do it alone, go ahead
You all right? Why you have to be so stubborn
I don't know how long I can go on
I am not afraid of death
I just fear that I will not see Shi Chun again
Even a normal person has difficulty walking in the dark
And you have trouble seeing
Why I am so useless
Why it has to relapse at this moment?
Uncle, please
Like you, I can't wait to see Shifu and Mrs Li
But I can't let things happen to you
If something happens to you
They will blame me for not taking good care of you
Your sudden blindness relapse is induced by your anxiety and stress
Trust me, you just let go of yourself
Your eyes will be alright tomorrow
We then can get back on the road again
Be careful
See, you have to be so stubborn
This is the wilderness With no herbs in sight
I can only find dandelion
It can be used externally and orally
It can relieve liver heat smartness in the eyes and swelling
I thought I was strong and tough
But I need help for such a simple thing
There is only me around, you have no choice
And you pick this time to bully me
Good, you can still joke
I was worried you would turn mute
I wonder how Shi Chun and Mo Yung are doing?
If you were caught now
Would you regret running away with Shifu?
If I had a choice I would take all the blame
I would bear it for Shi Chun
Then he and Mo Yung could live on
You always think for others and make yourself suffer
I once asked you whom you had a crush on
You wouldn't tell it was master
You hid it to yourself
When Mrs Li knew about it
You took everything on yourself
And said it was your wishful thinking
To relieve Mrs Li of her worries
You pretended to be in love with me
You remember all the things I have done
You mean to bring them up to make fun of me in future?
That's good, it means we can live on
Mo Yung, what is it?
Nothing, just some dizziness
There is a teahouse in front
Let me take you there
It is not necessary
I too want to meet up with Tung Ching and Pong Hin as soon as possible
I am fine, let us carry on
But we are already at the foothill of Wudong
We are half way to Qizhou
There are no soldiers following us
You take a rest first
If you fall ill It will mean greater trouble
Let us go
Have some tea first Thank you
Mo Yung, you give the manuscript back to me
Yes, it is your life's work It should be returned to you
That's not what I mean
If we are caught I don't want to implicate you
Then I should keep it for you
If something happens to you
I can hand it to Pong Hin
Let him finish it for you
You still have me in mind
We have put so much effort into it
I don't want to see it destroyed
Don't lie to me
I know you are like me
We still have each other in our heart
We have lived together for so long
Of course we still care for each other
We will help a friend in trouble
Tung Ching and Pong Hin too have risked their lives for you
I go back to Prince King mansion by way of Qizhou
We are on the same route
Like sharing the same boat We should take care of each other
But we have gone through so much, why?
Let the bygones be bygones
Now I just wish you and Tung Ching well
Then you can go back together
And I can think about my future
It is getting late, let us carry on
Help... help... this way
I was bitten by a snake, I can't move
It is you? Dr Li, help
He has a fever and his neck getting stiff He has difficulty in breathing
The venom has gone up
He passes out, should we suck the blood out
No, if you do so, you may be poisoned too
The thing to do is to dress up the wound first
So the venom will not move upwards
I am going to cut open his wound
So the venom can come out
All right, I am going to find some herbs for his wound
Let me go with you
Where do you live?
The hut in front, not that far
You look after him
Untie the dressing after some time
Or his arm will be asphyxiated
Yes Let us go
Chinese lobelia
I have found Spreading Hedyotis
We have gathered so much
It is enough for several days
Be careful
Let me dress the wound first
Why were you so silly
If you didn't push me away You wouldn't have been bitten
How could I let you be bitten
Let me help you
You know how to do it?
I remember how you did it just now
How do you feel?
It hurts, I don't think I can walk
You wait for me here
Shi Chun, Shi Chun...
Has the venom gone up?
We have to go back, or he will be in danger
Yes
Come out and help
What is it? What happened to him?
We went to gather herbs and he was bitten by a snake
What? Benefactor You were bitten by a snake too?
How come you have come to?
I did pass out, but Yam gave me some congee
My fever has gone after taking it Then I came to
What congee did you give him?
A farmer said his ox has died from some illness
He gave me its innards such as intestines and gallbladder
I fed him some of it and he came to
Yam, how dirty you are
The innards were not cleaned properly
There is a stone in the congee
Luckily he didn't clean the gallbladder properly
It was this stone that saved you
This is gallbladder stone, or bezoar
It has detoxification and heat relieving properties
It is useful for stroke, paralysis and seizure
No wonder he came to after the congee that miraculous
You eat the bezoar
It is no use now, the properties have gone
It hurts
Shi Chun, what can we do?
Sick ox, where can we find sick ox?
The farmer said there was a plague here
The innards were dumped into a pit
Shi Chun, you wait for me
You look after him for me
No, I have to find bezoar for Shi Chun
How come no bezoar?
I have to find it
Shi Chun, I won't let you die
Mo Yung...
I got it, I got bezoar
How is my husband?
He has passed out
Shi Chun, don't leave me
You have to get well
Benefactor, you have come to
Shi Chun, thank heavens Mo Yung
It was hard on her, she went into the pit to find you bezoar
Thank heavens she finally found it
And you were saved
Mo Yung, it was hard on you
So long as you could get well
Be careful
Benefactor, you are leaving?
Yes, remember bezoar can't be taken lightly
Just use the herbs I gave you for external and oral use
Yes, benefactor, you take care on the road
Next time you come back We will be much better off
Why?
Bezoar is so precious, it means money
I will collect bezoars and sell them in town, I will be rich
You spread its use around and help others
Yes, benefactor Till we meet again
These are gallbladder stones, or bezoars
They have detoxification properties And can relieve heat
It is good for coma, boils or swellings
Just two stones, really that miraculous?
It has been proven by court doctor Li Shi Chun
Of course it is true
I said Li Shi Chun couldn't get away
He was seen in Wudong Mountain
From the route he took
He is going back to his native Binhu
Magistrate Ho, how long will it take to reach there?
Your Honor, if you go by night as well Just three days
Get my horse Yes, Your Honor
Your leg still hurts?
Why you still care about me?
You were bitten because you tried to protect me
I have the obligation to take care of you
Just for your obligation
You are willing to be on the run with me?
Since I have decided to go with you
I will not leave you half way
Moreover, if it were Mr Pong or Tung Ching who were bitten
We would still do the same
We will be in Qizhou area We will be back in Binhu soon
Then you will have family and friends taking care of you
You don't need me again
Let us hurry up We still have some way to go, come on
Your Highnesses, young lady is back
Yes?
Mo Yung Mo Yung
Uncle, Auntie, I miss you very much
I thought I would never see you again
It is all right now you are back We are so relieved
You will be fine now you are back home
Shi Chun, I gave you my niece
You have not taken good care of her
You made her suffer so much
It was my fault, I am sorry
It was not his fault
He has not forced me to do anything
I did everything willingly
Your Highness, Shi Chun was framed
He didn't want it to happen
The thing we have to do now is to find a place for them
Actually I saw Mo Yung home
So you can take care of her for me
What about you?
Yim Sung and his son are after me
So long as the manuscript is with me
They will not harm you
You always meant to leave me here?
So you are loyal after all
You stay here for the time being
I will arrange for you to go away
It is no use
Even Prince Chor couldn't protect me
If I stay here, I will implicate you
Your family knows you are back?
They don't know yet
But I really want to see them again
Don't you go, it will draw attention
Kin Hei, you go to Li family and tell them Shi Chun is safe
Be careful Yes, Your Highness
Thank you
Where will you hide?
I will go to the herbal shop to meet up with Tung Ching and Pong Hin
Then we will leave Binhu
I hope to finish the Materia Medica as soon as possible
I cannot take care of you anymore
You have to take care of yourself
Shi Chun
I have to go
Please take care of her for me
