Yuan Jinxia.
Can't believe you're dying in this awful place.
The loneliness
is not interesting at all.
So cold.
I'm so cold.
I wanna sleep.

Mom.
Be careful.
Slow down.
Mom.
Mom, mommy.
Mom.
Mom, mommy.
Mom.
Who would have thought
Yama is taking me away
so soon?
It's good, though.
The sooner I die, the sooner I'll be reincarnated.
Jinxia.
Sir Lu.
Why you?
Who else then?
It's good enough
having you by my side in my last moment.
What on earth are you saying?
Sir.
You must accept my wishes in my letter.
I beg you.
It's impossible.
You left giving up your responsibilities
yet you still want your pension?
I won't give you a penny.
Sir.
You can't be such a thankless wretch.
I shouldn't have saved your life.
Who told you to act on your own?
My life needn't be exchanged by other's.
I have exchanged it anyway.
That's good.
We don't owe each other anymore.
Mom said that I'd always been a calamity since young.
That's why I could live for so long.
I've escaped from death for countless times during investigations.
Who would know that
I'd lose my pity life this time
just for saving you?
But Sir
if God really takes me away this time,
please don't make yourself feel uneasy about that.
I don't regret doing this.
Jinxia.
This bracelet is for you.
Sir.
Here...
It used to be of my mother.
I treat it like it's my life.
But it's only a memorable thing to me,
now I want you to keep it,
you must take good care of it.
I've always thought that there would always be someone protecting me if the skies fell down.
I'm less worried now.
You must be really exhausted today,
Let me give you a massage.
I'll massage your head now
so your blood can flow easily, it's really comfortable.
Sir
You can't lose something so important like this.
Take it.
Sir, just hide yourself here for the moment.
I'll lure them away and come back for you.
Be careful.
Let's head back home.
No.
Even with just a little spark of hope,
we still have to try.
Sir, you should take a rest.
I give you this bracelet,
which indicates that you must not die.
My mom passed away.
The strings were broken too.
I always bring the string that has my mom's bloodstain
with me
as something to remind me of her.
Sir, are you feeling sorry for that thing
or me?
Jinxia.
How are you feeling, Jinxia?
You're all here?
Looks like I won't die in loneliness.
Because I still have my friends here with me.
What nonsense are you talking?
Jinxia.
You're not gonna die.
What's wrong with you?
Don't be like that.
I, myself hate this atmosphere the most.
Xia.
You can't leave me here.
Or your father will skin me alive
when I get back home.
And there is...
There is your mother, too.
She's still waiting for you at home.
My mother?
Sir.
You must give my mother the pension.
This is not the right moment
to talk about money.
Jinxia. | Jinxia.
Jinxia, what's wrong?
Jinxia.
Little girl.
Doctor Lin.
Doctor Lin, come check her.
Linger, hurry up.
Doctor Lin, how is it?
I'll try my best.
I'll make some medicines for her firstly.
Lu Yi.
Let's have a quick talk.
Jinxia.
You have to hold on.
With Jinxia's status,
only a miracle
can bring her back to life.
Sir.
Will you be in sorrow
if I die one day?
Linger.
Tell me the truth.
How many percent, do you think?
None.
This is the last way
that I've found in the book.
We can only bet.
The last way?
There is an ancient method in my book
that uses the essence of seven extremely deadly plants,
which means we use evil to fight evil.
It's just that the toxins are too strong to bear.
Besides,
I've never used this method before.
i don't know if she'll make it.
It looks like we can only bet.
Jinxia is really tough.
I do trust that she can handle this.
This depends on her fate.
Let me, let me, let me.
Jinxia.
You must overcome this.
There are many good meals that I want you to enjoy.
Here come the medicines, here it is.
Make way, make way please.
Let me help you.
You spilled it.
It's really hot.
Let me.
Jinxia.
Doctor Lin, what's going on?
Why is she not getting better?
Why is she like this?
I made her medicines with seven toxins
that are extremely poisonous.
After Jinxia drinks it,
the toxins will spread out and slow her blood flow down
The pulse will be back to normal
but her body will be like being in the ice age for years.
It's up to her
to decide whether she can make it or not.
Doctor Lin.
Is there any other way?
I, Lu Yi, have never believed in Gods.
But this time,
I hope you can help me.
Don't bother.
Let him relieve himself.
You should go cheer that one up instead.
He's all for you now.
I know you and Jinxia are like brother and sister
and you two are also colleagues.
You must be really sad
seeing her like this.
Although we all feel sorry for what happened,
life and death are decided by Gods,
and our wealth is decided by the heaven.
You...
You must think of me as useless
when seeing me like this, right?
That year when Xie Xiao got away from our marriage,
it took me quite a long time to heal the wound,
to recover my mental health.
I know
it is useless to give you any advice now.
But as long as Jinxia still has just a weak breathe,
we still have the right to hope.
Right?
Take this.
Wipe your tears.
If Jinxia sees you like this when she's up,
she'll be even more sorrowful than you are.
Emperor.
You don't look so good.
Please have some rest.
You can do that later.
No need to.
How can I rest
if I haven't seen all these annoying things?
Go.
Go get me
the medicines that Dan Qing Ge brought here.
Yes, Sir.
Emperor.
Slow down.
Emperor.
Is there anyone?
Emperor, Emperor.
Emperor.
Go, go get the doctor.
Hurry.
Doctor. | Emperor.
Emperor.
Sir.
Eunuch Li wants to meet you.
Commander Lu.
After having
the medicines that Dan Qing Ge made,
The Emperor suddenly passed out.
Passed out?
Yes.
It's so chaotic there.
The doctors
are awaiting orders.
Cen Fu.
Get me some elite Imperial Guards
to get to the palace with me to escort the Emperor.
Yes, Sir.
So fortunate for us.
She'll be living.
That's great. | That's great.
Great.
It's good she's back.
She scared us to death.
If she's survived from such an incident like this,
she'll be the luckiest person ever.
I'll go make medicines.
Brother.
Come with me.
Mother
Mother.
Jinxia.
Mother.
Jinxia, you're awake.
Jinxia.
You've finally woken up.
Doctor Lin told me that
you'd succeeded keeping yourself alive.
You must be starving
after sleeping for so long, right?
Tell me what you wanna eat.
I'll cook for you.
I want...
meat.
Meat.
Sure.
I'll make you a whole chicken.
No.
There are only vegetables at Doctor Lin's place
but no chicken at all.
Maybe I can hunt some animals in the jungle.
Wait for me, please wait.
Let me go instead.
Jinxia.
Wild chickens.
Wild ducks.
Wild rabbits, wild boars.
You can have anything.
I'll go get them for you.
Bailiff Yang.
Just wait for me in the kitchen.
OK.
Hurry up.
And remember to catch big ones.
OK.
It's good now.
Let me go help you out.
Sir.
You told me that I must live
to take care of this bracelet.
It turns out I really didn't die.
But looks like I won't have my pension now.
It's quite good amount of money.
It's even better you're still alive.
From now on,
your rewards will be doubled.
Thank you.
It used to be of my mother.
I treat it like it's my life.
But it's only a memorable thing to me,
now I want you to keep it,
you must take good care of it.
Forgive me for what I'm about to say.
But is this bracelet of a girl
giving you as a love token
A love token?
It is actually a promise.
A lifetime promise.
Tell me why does The Emperor suddenly get sick?
Yes.
What can we do now?
Who'll take care of everything now?
What to do now?
Adoptive father.
This guy who made the medicines
was of Xu Jing's recommendation.
Please consider grabbing this chance to...
This makes everyone so worried.
If The Emperor is all right,
you and I can have great powers.
After all, "every emperor has his own favorites".
You're right.
Eunuch Li's come out.
Yan Ge Lao.
How's the Emperor?
He's awake.
Emperor invited you all inside.
Emperor.
Yan Ge Lao, slow down.
Emperor. | Emperor.
Sir Lu.
Emperor. | Emperor.
Yan Ge Lao, slow down.
Sir Lu, you slow yourself down, too.
Emperor. | Emperor.
Emperor. | Emperor | Emperor.
I'm so worried this time
when you are in danger like this.
I received everything from you, so I must be a loyal servant to you.
I didn't serve you well
as an official,
which lets the bad guy do the bad things,
using the medicines to harm you.
I'm ready for any punishments.
That doesn't have anything to do with you.
Stand up, all of you.
Thank you, Emperor.
Please consider wisely.
My loyalty towards you,
can be approved by the Gods above.
Moreover,
you've always used that medicines,
yet nothing bad has ever happened to you.
Could it be that someone swapped the real medicines out?
About this,
I'm figuring it out myself.
Official Xu.
Before we have everything clear,
you'll be temporarily
confined in your mansion.
I'm never ashamed of myself.
I just hope for wise judgments of yours.
Get up.
Thank you, Emperor.
Everyone.
If you have no more business here,
get outside.
We shall leave, Emperor.
Official Lu.
Wait a bit.
Emperor.
Official Lu.
What do you think
about the incident this time?
Emperor,
I think official Xu's got the point.
You've used master Yuan Ming's medicines
for years.
Had he got any bad intentions,
he would've done it long ago.
But because the incident happened due to the medicines,
so having master Yuan Ming as a suspect is unavoidable.
Right.
You will be in charge of
investigating this.
Yes, Sir.
Yan Ge Lao.
Emperor suspended me.
This time I might not be going outside for a while.
So now I may
get to go firstly.
As you please.
Adoptive father.
Don't be so polite, I can't handle that.
I...
Adoptive father.
I know that
you're upset about me back then.
You're upset because I did not listen to you.
But I really had no idea what to do.
That wicked Xu Jing
just stared at me all the time.
He used the case of Zhou Xianyi last time
to accuse me in front of the Emperor.
Had I not asked for help,
I would've lost my position already.
You've fully developed now,
you don't listen to me anymore,
so you're on your own now.
Adoptive father.
If anything bad happens to Jinxia
I won't forgive you.
Is it because Jinxia saved me?
Yes.
Besides Jinxia,
I don't think we have anything
between us now.
This debt with me,
only Jinxia can deal with it,
what does this have anything to do with you?
Don't you think that because Jinxia can't get out of bed
to deal with this problem
so you can do whatever you want.
Beware of me
or I'll beat you up real hard
and don't ask me for mercy then.
Fine.
Let's do it.
Don't you think that I don't know
what's in your mind.
If I hit you now,
you with your weak body
can never stand it.
And beating wouldn't bring me any good.
And Jinxia saved your pity life.
I don't want her to waste the effort for nothing.
I don't know how much Jinxia
owed you in the former life.
But
it's enough for her for losing half her life saving you.
I've made my mind clear.
I'll take her away
as soon as she's fully recovered.
If you can't protect her,
let me do it instead.
Are you sure that the poison of the Blue Jade poison
on Lu Yi's body has been detoxified?
I've confirmed that for so many times.
Besides, the old man we're looking for
is with Lu Yi's people.
Looks like he and that girl from Maple Col
are really close to each other.
That old man came from Yao Wang Gu
yet he can only make poisons and not antidotes.
And everyone there
are not skilled in medicines.
If you say that the poison on Lu Yi has been cured,
it seems like that woman from Maple Col
is not simple at all.
What are you gonna do, Master?
If she really can cure the poison,
then she is extremely crucial to us.
Lu Yi, Lu Yi,
God helps you with your life.
Be careful
Yuan.
I've arranged your seat.
Right here next to me.
So that I can take care of you better.
No need for that.
Jinxia will sit next to me,
I can take care of her,
I don't wanna bother you.
Don't you understand my words?
You just crawled out of bed
from death, too.
How are you gonna take care of her?
The best you can do is not bothering anyone.
I'm fine sitting there.
You wicked man.
I...
Enough.
I haven't even finished...
Are you gonna let me have my meal peacefully?
You fight every single day.
Can't keep your mouth shut for just one bit.
Please leave immediately
after finishing your meal.
Oh...
Senior sister.
Girl Shangguan.
Some steamed rice paper.
Why did you make this?
It's really hard to make.
It is, indeed.
But I think that
you can touch others' hearts
if you can give them their taste of home.
Taste of home?
What do you mean by that?
Girl Shangguan, where do you think
Doctor Lin's from?
Based on what I see,
I think she's from Fuijan.
I did notice that
the tea she used was Anxi's tieguanyin.
If it isn't because of homesick,
why does she have so much of that tea?
Unexpectedly, your are so meticulous and observant.
You noticed even the smallest details.
It's... it's not that.
Girl Shangguan.
Try this.
We should have this together.
Right.
All the dishes are here, let's bring them out.
OK.
Now, now, now.
Here comes the food.
Everyone,
today I
have done my best with my cooking skills.
You should try it.
How is it like?
Smells nice.
Uncle.
You're forgetting me right?
Look at you, you're so...
We're not.
We've included your portion.
Yang Yue made this?
Yes.
Nice.
You seem to recover quite a lot.
Consider this meal
as a way to say goodbye.
Auntie Lin.
You can come to the capital to find me.
The scenery is really nice there.
The red leaves on the Fragrant Hill make it so stunning.
I will take you for a walk then.
I wanna go, too.
You still haven't fully recovered yet.
Don't just think about playing around.
How do you know to make this steamed rice paper?
My father enjoys this
so I make it at home quite often.
If Auntie Lin likes what he made,
let him stay a little longer.
He'll cook for you everyday,
I guarantee he can cook new dishes every time.
Your father's from Fuijan?
Not like that.
It's just that I used to eat this long ago
and I still remember its taste from then.
It's been a long time since I last ate this.
Who would think that
I can have it here?
You're an official at Imperial Police Department,
so who's your father?
He's the head bailiff of the Imperial Police Department - Yang Chengwan
Auntie Lin, have you ever heard of him?
No.
It's just
it reminds me of someone.
May I ask
Which "Chengwan" is it?
Cheng Wan as in Peng Cheng Wan Li.
I was mistaken,
that was just a homonym.
Let's eat.
Or the food will get cold.
Let's eat.
Eat, eat, eat.
Hey.
Eat more.
Quickly.
Give.
Thanks, Sir.
I didn't know The Imperial Guards could be that caring.
It looks like you are a true servant
every day.
This dish of meatball with herbs is really good.
Maybe it can
wipe out that awful smell of your mouth.
Lu Yi.
Don't push people to their limits like that.
You seem to be in a good health now
I think you're ready for a fight.
The loser will bow his head and take all the faults.
Young master Xie is so heroic,
I only have a pity body,
so I'll admit defeat.
You...
Humans fight for ego, Buddhas fight for a lighted joss stick.
A generous man like sir Lu here
is one of a kind.
If it were someone else,
I believe for his honor,
he would accept the challenge.
Honor
is what you think of yourself,
and also the most useless thing.
So what is the most important
to you?
Sir, please hold on just a bit more.
As soon as we find that doctor,
you'll be saved.
I'm afraid that you may catch a cold
so that you'd end up worse.
If you agree to exchange your life with his,
I'm certain I'll help him.
I have my words clear.
Sir,
if God really takes me away this time,
I don't regret doing this.
Love.
Love, can also mean friendship and comradeship.
What a pity.
"Heaven will become aged as well if Heaven has feelings".
What? Why are you talking to him?
Alright Xie Yuan Yuan, you should stop talking.
Let's eat, I'm starving now.
You're also on his side now?
I don't know why
I have a crush on you.
Such a...
I'm full now.
Sister Shangguan.
Senior sister.
Continue eating.
I'll go look for her.
But...
Let him go.
Go. | How can she be full without eating?
How can there be
a naive person like that?
Doctor Lin,
what do you mean by that?
Nothing.
Now.
Let's eat.
Eat more.
Why can't you marry me?
I'm sure you don't like
a prick like me.
It must be our fathers who forced you
and your being a good daughter
so you still, though reluctantly,
accepted this marriage.
But I can't make you suffer a lifetime.
I wanna protect Yuan Jinxia forever.
Are you relieved?
If I didn't get here,
the whole maple forest of Doctor Lin would be demolished
by your sword.
Just think of me as your joke.
There's nothing funny.
It was you who said that
"Heaven will become aged as well if Heaven has feelings".
We're all just ordinary people,
so of course we're trivial,
there's nothing to laugh about that.
I've been in Wu An Gang since I was young.
I owe Uncle Xie a lot.
That's why I know that,
although I'm not named Xie,
I'm always a member of Xie's family.
Xie Xiao loves freedom,
that's why he didn't want to take over the business at Wu An Gang
so I took that job on behalf of him.
Deep inside,
I've always seen him as my husband.
Aren't you gonna tell him?
What's good with that?
I'd only receive shame for myself.
From the beginning,
this love
is only just my one-sided effort.
If it's so,
why should I bother him?
I'm feeling fine now.
Alright.
Let's go.
Are you really OK?
Why do you have to be so harsh on yourself?
Why can't you be like the other girls?
If you're not happy,
get mad a bit,
raise yourself up a bit,
and wait for the other to cheer you up?
You're just thinking for him
and he'll never notice you.
I think that
you're a really strong girl.
But it turns out
you're no more than a coward.
You think that I don't want to get mad,
don't want to say anything I want,
and ignore others' feelings?
I really wanna do it.
But I can't.
You're right.
I'm a coward.
I'm afraid that once I go careless,
he'll hate me.
I'm afraid once I do something wrong, he'll be disappointed.
The other girls that you mentioned,
they can be reckless,
that is because they feel secure in the knowledge that they have backing.
Only people that are loved from birth
can have that kind of confidence.
But me...
I can never have that in my life.
Sorry.
I was a bit cruel on you.
You must really
wanna kill me now.
Seems like every time you're sad,
I'm always at the scene.
If it were me,
I'm afraid I'd kill that bastard too.
You're laughing now.
That means you're alright now.
Actually, to me,
you're better than you think you are.
Don't look down on yourself anymore.
