Under The Power
Episode 23
How about
you feed him mouth to mouth?
Mouth to mouth?
Mr. Beggar, you do it.
Me? It's not appropriate.
You do it, you do it.
It's not appropriate either.
Come on. Quickly.
Mr. Beggar.
I'm telling you.
His life is hanging in the balance.
I only have one grandson.
To save him or not, is up to you.
-Mr. Beggar, I can't. -Just do it.
Mr. Beggar, don't go. I can't.
How should I feed him?
Your Excellency, take the medicine.
It's really hard to prepare this medicine.
Once you drink it, you'll get better.
Your Excellency, open your mouth.
Your Excellency.
What should I do?
Your Excellency, please take the medicine.
Your Excellency.
Take this to him.
Make sure he drinks it up.
He's running out of time.
Your Excellency.
It's just feeding him medicine mouth to mouth.
How hard can it be?
His life is more important.
He's swallowed it.
Great.
It hurts.
I fed you medicine, but you bit me?
Where is your conscience?
It hurts badly.
But you took the medicine, so it's worth it.
Why is the poison
spreading so fast in Jinxia's body?
If it continues like this,
once Lu Yi is brought back to life,
it would be...
too late to cure Jinxia.
It seems that even Doctor Lin's medicine
can't prevent the poison from spreading.
The poison of the king of snakes
is really potent.
I'm not going to die here, am I?
My hand, stop shaking.
Miss Yuan.
You're here.
Miss shuangguan.
I've brought you some snacks.
Thank you.
What's the matter with you? Are you unwell?
No, I am fine.
I may have caught a cold.
Please have a seat.
What happened
to your lip?
I haven't had meat for days.
I missed meat so much, so I bit my lips.
Why are you alone?
Where is Yue?
He is making you a soup in the kitchen.
These snacks were made by him too.
Yue truly understands me.
He knows what I like.
You're so good to each other.
It makes people envious.
Yes.
We've been best buddies through ups and downs since we were small.
Of course, we're good friends.
Have you ever thought about being together?
No, I haven't.
And I won't.
It's simply impossible.
A girl like me
should better be his buddy,
than being his woman...
Otherwise, neither of us will feel comfortable.
I'll leave you in peace.
I'll go and find Xie Xiao.
He said he was going to prepare some medicine for you.
Take your time.
Thank you.
Yuan Jinxia.
Don't die young.
No matter how hard it is, you must hold on.
You must hold on.
Kid.
You are awake?
Mr. Beggar.
Don't talk, take some rest.
Your Excellency.
Your Excellency, you're conscious?
Little girl, you must be tired, right?
He should be alright now.
Mr. Beggar, he is conscious.
Doctor Lin said as long as he regained his consciousness,
he would be safe.
Your Excellency, you're blessed and you'll live long.
Good.
Not like me.
Not like you what?
I mean you're not like me.
My life is not worth much.
Maybe I'll die on duty
one day.
Nonsense.
Mr. Beggar.
Why did you curse yourself?
This is not like you.
Look at your face.
What's the matter with my face?
It's bloodless like a ghost's.
Don't talk anymore.
You haven't slept all night, you must be tired.
Now, go back to your room.
Let me take care of him.
I'm alright. I'm really alright.
I'll stay here.
Here, eat some porridge.
Mr. Beggar, make the porridge thin.
OK.
Since you're tired, I'll do whatever you say.
Here.
Your Excellency, you must be hungry.
Eat some porridge.
What's the matter with your lip?
My lip?
Yesterday, when I went to the river to get water,
I tripped,
and fell on a big stone.
I kind of kissed the stone.
It's funny, isn't it?
Funny, really funny.
It's all because of you.
Mr. Beggar, what are you talking about?
I'm not making it up, I heard that.
Here, take some porridge, Your Excellency.
What did you hear?
He heard that I tripped.
Your Excellency, come on, take some porridge.
It won't be good once it gets cold.
Mr. Beggar, quickly.
Here.
Thank god, my good grandson is conscious.
Here are some pickles.
Mr. Beggar, it's too salty.
His Excellency needs something light.
OK, you're right.
OK.
Ling.
Doctor Lin.
His Excellency is much better.
Please take a look at him.
How is he?
His pulses are getting more normal.
And he can eat now.
It seems that this antidote to the poison works quite well.
Really?
That means His Excellency is safe now?
Now...
his life is safe.
Fantastic.
Doctor Lin, thank you.
I'm forever in debt to your kindness.
He is safe now,
so you don't need to flatter me anymore.
Since he is conscious now,
ask him to walk as an exercise.
However, there are many poisonous snakes around here.
You'd better be cautious.
I got it.
Mr. Beggar, Doctor Lin is a highly skilled doctor.
I didn't lie to you, did I?
In the future, you'd better seek my advice on everything.
When you take care of him,
don't forget to take care of yourself too.
Don't worry.
I will take good care of myself for sure.
Mr. Beggar, go back and take a rest.
Let me take care of him.
Shut it.
-You should go for a rest, let me take care of him. -You go.
-Come on. -Just leave.
Doctor Lin is looking for you.
Looking for me?
It's really great that you're conscious.
Like you said,
you are not going to die young.
Take some porridge.
Your Excellency, you're back.
Where is my father?
He is on duty today.
Yan Feng.
During my absence,
did anything happen?
His Majesty appointed Wu Shouxu
as the Director-general of the Southeast.
Wasn't he to be promoted to the Deputy Minister of War
as well as the Assistant Censor-in-Chief of the Chief Surveillance Bureau?
He was recommended by Liao Wenhua.
I heard that Liao Wenhua
did not ask your father's advice on this matter.
Really?
It seems that Liao Wenhua
hasn't learned anything from Zhou Xianyi's case.
Anything else?
Recently, the Ministry of Revenue
has encountered some difficulties in salt affairs in Jiangnan.
They asked for an official
to manage the salt affairs.
Who does my father have in mind for this position?
He's waiting to discuss it with you.
OK.
Before I went to Yangzhou,
didn't I tell you to put the "Along The River During The Qingming Festival" in a frame
and hang it on the wall of the central hall?
Why didn't you do it?
I've done it already.
But after seeing the picture,
the craftsman said there was something wrong with it
and he wanted to discuss it with you.
Something wrong?
Yes.
That's what he said.
OK.
I'll be busy for quite a while,
tell him to meet me later.
Yes, Your Excellency.
Yue.
What are you carrying?
I... I noticed that Miss shuangguan
didn't eat much at breakfast.
So I made some snacks
for her.
Since you've fallen in love with her, you've forgot your buddy.
You used to be my cook only.
Now you have Miss shuangguan,
you have ignored me.
I haven't.
I haven't forgot you.
Yesterday,
I made you some snacks, didn't I?
So can I eat some?
How is Mr. Lu?
He's conscious now.
He ate all the porridge Mr. Beggar made.
His appetite is not bad.
It seems that he's getting much better.
Yes.
Doctor Lin's a great doctor.
But it's a shame that
she keeps hiding herself in the forests.
Such a waste of talent.
Yes.
By the way,
I've made you some porridge in the kitchen.
Your face is so pale.
So I added some dates
and herbs which help strengthen Qi and nourish blood.
Go and eat it now.
What's the matter?
What's that expression?
Who bullied you?
Yue.
You really spoil me.
Stop it.
Go and eat some porridge.
Or else it will be cold soon.
I have to
take the snacks to Miss shuangguan.
I'll be leaving.
Everyone's physical endurance
is different.
all I can do is try my best.
But I can't guarantee that the one who's poisoned will survive.
Jinxia.
Doctor Lin.
Don't say anything.
Hold your breath and concentrate your mind.
When will you tell them?
I won't.
Please keep it a secret for me, Doctor Lin.
Once the poison is out of my system, I'll be fine.
Right?
I'm afraid it's not that simple anymore.
What do you mean by that?
Your dress is dirty.
It's alright.
I'll wash it clean.
Blood stains are hard to wash away.
Follow me.
I promise to keep your secret.
If you don't want others to notice it,
follow me and get changed.
Let's go.
This dress
has been at the bottom of the case for a very long time.
I didn't expect it would come in handy one day.
Is this for me?
This is so beautiful.
I'm only lending it to you.
Take good care of it.
I will.
Doctor Lin, it's so kind of you.
You're like my real aunt.
You're really good at sweat talking.
Do you really mean it?
As a girl, you should be reserved.
Or else, no one will want to marry you in the future.
Alright.
I'll try to be more reserved.
Look at your hair.
It's not smooth at all.
Wait a minute.
Eggs.
For me to eat?
Raw or cooked?
To wash your hair with.
To a girl,
hair is really important.
You need to take good care of it.
So you usually wash your hair with eggs?
No wonder your hair is black and glossy.
It's like silk.
But if I use them to wash my hair,
my mother will say it's a waste of money.
She will beat me to death.
You should keep them for yourself.
Alright, stop talking.
Now wash your hair.
No, I can't.
I'm not a girl from a respectable family.
I don't feel right to waste these eggs.
There are not many girls
like you.
Alright, go wash your hair.
Go, I'll wait for you.
But...
Go.
Just go.
Remember to wash your hair with warm water.
Otherwise,
you might end up with cooked eggs in your hair.
Alright.
Doctor Lin.
Can I call you Aunt Lin from now on?
You look like family.
OK.
Am I making a mistake?
Why do they look so alike ?
Aunt Lin.
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
It's just that looking at you in the mirror
reminds me of an old friend.
An old friend?
Really?
Aunt Lin.
You just said
detoxifying my body
isn't simple at all.
Does it mean I'm going to die soon?
The poison in your body
doesn't work like the one in his body
which will release all its toxins at once.
You will suffer from a pain as if you are being bitten by thousands of insects.
The pain will penetrate your bones.
Initially, I thought that
such symptoms would appear after two days.
But I didn't expect
the poison to spread so fast in your body.
I'm afraid you won't live beyond three days...
But...
I'll try my best to save you.
I get it.
Death is not something to be afraid of.
Everyone will die
sooner or later.
Aunt Lin.
Thank you for your dress.
I'll wash and return it to you later.
I'll go and see if the medicine is ready.
If so, I will take it to him.
Go ahead.
Why are there
people in this world who look so alike ?
Jinxia.
You're straight forward
and very likable.
Even though there isn't much hope,
I will try my best to
save your life.
Three days.
I'll die in three days.
Yuan Jinxia.
You still have many things to do.
What were you thinking back then?
Why did you harm yourself to save Poker Face Lu?
You were so impulsive.
What should I do now?
Yuan Jinxia. Yuan Jinxia.
Don't know if I still have enough time.
Why don't I ask Aunt Lin
to detoxify my body?
Whether Poker Face Lu lives or not
is not my business.
I have to make sure I'm alive.
I was so impulsive.
I didn't think much.
Alright.
Your Excellency.
Take the medicine.
You've got changed?
My dress got dirty.
Doctor Lin lent me this.
It turned out to fit me quite well.
I've never seen you dressed like this.
You look very different.
Really?
Your Excellency.
Though this dress was made many years ago,
I can tell it's very expensive from its material.
Doctor Lin must have been from a rich family.
Clothing can really make a difference.
You look more girly
dressed like this.
But...
I'm not used to it.
Your Excellency.
If one day I were not with you anymore,
would you be sad?
What do you mean?
Aren't you alive and here with me now?
I'm just saying
if, what if.
What if
you would never see me anymore?
Are you keeping something from me?
No, nothing.
How dare I do that?
Not at all.
Your Excellency, take your medicine.
I'll leave you in peace.
Wait a minute.
Maybe I would
be sad.
What's the matter with your lip?
It's because of you.
Mr. Beggar.
When you take care of him,
don't forget to take care of yourself too.
Don't worry.
I will take good care of myself for sure.
Your Excellency.
If one day I were not with you anymore,
would you be sad?
What is she hiding from me?
Why do I have such an ominous feeling?
Jinxia. Jinxia.
Jinxia.
What's wrong with you?
Are you unwell?
Jinxia.
What's wrong with you?
I had a stomachache, but now it's gone.
I thought something happened to you.
It's good that you're fine.
What could happen to me?
I'm perfectly fine.
Don't jinx it.
I've taken my words back.
You'll be fine now.
I was worried about you.
You've been working hard these days.
I was afraid that your body would suffer.
I'm not tired.
I'm strong as a horse.
I've never felt tired.
Fatty Xie.
Where do you think people will go after they die?
Why do you suddenly ask this?
Just curious.
Since you lead a dangerous life,
you must have thought about it before.
If you have done numerous bad things,
you will go to hell.
Or else
you will be reincarnated.
Reincarnation?
Is there really reincarnation?
Maybe yes, maybe no.
I have never died, how can I know?
If you were to be reincarnated,
what would you like to be?
The next life?
I would like to be wind, water.
I just wouldn't want to be a human.
It's nice to be a human.
I haven't lived long enough.
If the next life existed,
I would like to be born into a good family,
with both my father and mother alive.
It would be even better if I could be a wealthy girl
with loads of food and clothes.
When I come of age, I would get married to a good man.
What a perfect life.
You don't need to wait for your next life.
Although you can't be a wealthy girl in this life,
you can be a wealthy man's wife.
Why not marry me?
Xie Xiao,
although sometimes you really get on my nerves,
I'm very happy to have a friend
like you.
Why are you suddenly so sentimental?
But thank you for saying this,
although I don't want to be just your friend.
Leave me alone for a while.
I want to be on my own,
and listen to the wind and birdsong.
Leave me alone.
You want to burn the bridge you've just crossed?
Alright.
Since you want to be alone,
I'll go away.
If you want company,
I'll be right back .
OK?
Just go.
See you later.
Jinxia, I'm leaving.
What if the next life didn't exist?
Ling.
Mr. Lu, take a seat please.
Mr. Lu.
What's up?
Ling.
I know I'm not as good as you as a doctor.
But I can see that Jinxia's heath
has been deteriorating.
Her condition is getting worse and worse.
Tell me the truth.
Can you detoxify her?
At first, I used Jinxia's blood to make the antidote,
because I knew I could detoxify her later
and make sure she lives.
But I didn't expect that
Jinxia's blood circulated
faster than normal,
which helped the poison
to spread more quickly in her body.
Now I still need her blood as the antidote to
detoxify Lu Yi's body.
I'm afraid that after I remove all the toxins from Lu Yi's body,
It'll be too late to save Jinxia.
Now
the longer the snake poison is in her body,
the more dangerous it is.
The poison has started to reach her vital organs.
Finally, she will
die of organ failure.
What do you think we should do now?
Now I'm reading
the medical books that our master left.
I hope I can find a way to save Jinxia.
OK.
I'll help you.
Your Excellency,
Yue,
Xie Xiao,
Mr. Beggar,
Aunt Lin,
and Ms.Shangguan.
I'm leaving without saying goodbye,
please don't hate me.
I'm about to die.
To be more specific,
I'm afraid I won't live beyond tomorrow.
I always think I'm a positive person.
I can't bear to say goodbye in person.
Yue.
Please tell the master
that I've disappointed him.
If the next life really existed,
I would still choose him as my master.
Finally,
I have something I need you to do.
Dig up the money I hid under a big stone
three meters from the toilet in my home
and give it to my mother.
Let her know that
I won't be able to look after her
and that I'm sorry.
I have never written a will,
so it's a little lengthy.
Please don't hate me.
Anyway, I won't bother you anymore.
Please live until the age of one hundred.
Or else, once you come down to see me,
I won't meet you.
Yuan Jinxia.
No way.
Yuan Jinxia is as strong as a horse.
How can she die?
Doctor Lin.
Mr. Beggar.
What happened?
Let me explain.
This has
something to do with the Blue Hairpin poison in Lu Yi's body.
To save him, Jinxia
allowed Ling to poison her with a type of snake poison,
so that an antidote would form in her body.
She then used her blood to save Lu Yi.
At first, we thought after Lu Yi's body was detoxified,
we'd be able to detoxify her as well.
Unexpectedly, her body was different from others.
The poison spread faster,
and reached...
Why didn't you say this sooner?
Your Excellency.
Since I started working with you,
though we had a lot of disagreements,
I have learned
many things from you.
You saved me,
for which I'm very grateful.
Now I've saved you.
I don't need your gratitude.
But I love money,
so even I'm dying, I still want money.
I just hope that you
would consider my saving you as a favor,
apply for a compensation for my death in line of duty,
and give the money to my mother,
so she can live the rest of her life without worrying about money.
I've left your badge and sword
outside the door.
I wish you
well for the rest of your life.
If Jinxia dies,
you'll be the murderer.
You'll be the murderer.
Xie Xiao, what are you doing?
-Calm down, let go of him. -How can I calm down?
Now I don't even know if Jinxia is alive or not.
How can I stay calm?
Now, it's most important to find Jinxia.
What if something happens to her?
Let's split up to find her.
Let go of him.
Let's go.
Jinxia.
North, West, South, East.
I have to find a place to die.
Jinxia.
But I'm just an orphan.
Where should I go?
Jinxia.
Jinxia, where are you?
Jinxia.
Where are you?
Little girl.
Jinxia.
Little girl.
Jinxia.
Yuan Jinxia.
I can't believe you have to die in such a horrible place.
The sense of loneliness
isn't fun at all.
