It's her! It's all her fault!

At first, there were only scabs on my father's face.

He was still conscious.

But after taking her prescription,

he became like this!

Return my father to me!

Everyone, please be my judge!

Uphold justice for me!

- What's going on? - She's a quack doctor!

Everyone, calm down.

She's my disciple.

I'm partly responsible when she commits a mistake.

I shall cure your father.

Tell me everything that had happened.

- Father, father. - Master, this afternoon,

I saw that you were busy treating patients at the square.

The condition of this mister wasn't that serious.

That's why I gave him a prescription

that Chong Ming told me on our way here.

Don't panic. What herbs have you used?

I used One-Leaf Fall, Skymallow,

Torenia, Stone Ink Lotus, and

Yang Wood.

Which kind of Yang?

Yang as in Yin and Yang.

I understand now.

You were wrong about one of the herbs.

You've only heard of its name without seeing it yourself.

So, it was the wrong herb.

The "Yang" in my prescription represents dust.

Although it sounds the same, it's a completely different herb.

Please get some hot water for me.

Okay. I'll go! I'll go!

Using the wrong herbs can actually poison the patient instead.

We should leave this to Priest.

- He's so pitiful. - That's right.

He has to suffer even at this age.

Zhu Yan, have you learned needlework before?

I have.

Good.

Later, you can stitch up his wound with your needlework skill.

Master,

you're still willing to believe me?

Hurry.

Priest of Grand Preceptor, we have no way

to repay what we owe you.

The villagers of Jiuyi District

are willing to serve you.

Thank you, Priest of Grand Preceptor.

Please get up.

- You guys, please get up. - Please get up.

Thank you, Priest of Grand Preceptor.

I don't need you guys to repay me.

It's just that I wonder why

the village was struck with this plague out of the blue.

I wonder if the source has been located?

I've finished my investigation.

It seems like something's wrong with the water.

The people who first caught the plague

were staying at the eastern side of the village.

They were consuming water from the Eastern Creek.

I think that was the case.

Eastern Creek?

What about this?

I will write down the prescriptions in detail.

Village Head, please pass this prescription to those who need it.

Let's hope that this plague will be gone soon.

Village Head, please bring me to the Eastern Creek later.

Yes, Priest of Grand Preceptor.

It's up ahead.

How is it?

Indeed.

Something's wrong with the water.

Let's head forward.

Your Supreme Majesty.

What do you need?

A plague broke out in Jiuyi District.

When I went to treat the villagers,

I discovered something strange.

The source of the plague

should be the water from the Eastern Creek.

When I checked upstream,

I discovered bubbles in the river.

The water was tainted.

The source of Eastern Creek

may seem like the pool beside Jiuyi Mountain,

but in reality,

the source is Cangwu Abyss.

Judging from the shape of the bubbles,

it seems that spiritual power

is stirring up from within the abyss.

Do you still remember

the legend of the trapped God of Dragon within the abyss

and the trapped Ice Clan outside the wilderness?

Your Supreme Majesty, are you saying

that underneath the Cangwu Abyss

lies the God of Dragon?

When the God of Dragon awakes,

evil shall rise, and the emperor of the sea will return.

That's what the merfolk have been waiting for.

The Merfolk marine force has been stirring up trouble

in secret all these years.

If the God of Dragon has truly awakened,

they will only make things worse.

The world will plunge into chaos too.

Your Supreme Majesty, please permit me

to head to the Cangwu Abyss and investigate the situation.

You don't need to go there yet.

The God of Dragon's awakening

is just my guess.

It'll be terrible if we alert them of our presence.

Let's wait and observe the situation for now.

Yes, Your Supreme Majesty.

Princesses,

over here, please.

That was amazing.

It's pretty interesting.

Your Highness, please dine here.

The two princesses of Zixuan Residence

are in the courtyard.

Why are Xuelu and I

the only ones here?

Were they mistaken?

Enough. Just sit down.

I'm sure Consort Qing

made this arrangement for us.

Princess Xuelu, you're right.

I'm the palace servant

of His Highness Shi Yu.

I was transferred here temporarily to serve you two.

I shall return now.

Your Highness, if you two need anything,

please tell the maidservants outside the gate.

I shall take my leave.

Xuelu,

I want to take a walk

by myself.

Go ahead.

Someone.

Yes, Your Highness.

Please tell Consort Qing

that Bai Xuelu needs to seek an audience with her.

It concerns Jiuyi Mountain.

Yes, Your Highness.

In my opinion, these snacks

are the best.

Try it.

The imperial kitchen does live up to its name.

I know it's good when I smell it.

Try this too.

I haven't finished the last snack.

I can't finish them.

That won't do.

You spent one month in Jiuyi Mountain.

You've lost a lot of weight.

You should eat up.

If you keep telling me to eat,

I'll turn

into a snowball.

It's better if you gain some weight.

I'll still like you even if you turn

into a snowball.

Your Highness, you should eat up too.

Xueying,

I never expected Mother to put you two on the spot

during the banquet too.

I'm really sorry about that.

It doesn't matter.

Your Highness, I'm happy

as long as

I get to see you.

However, even if you did leave Jiuyi Mountain,

it's still difficult for me to meet up with you.

That's fine.

At least I have this with me.

(My promise to Xueying deeply rooted within)

You actually

carved feathers for it.

I was thinking that I should finish it as soon as possible.

By then,

I can stay by your side forever,

Your Highness.

Princess Xuelu?

What are you doing here?

I have something important

to discuss with Consort Qing.

Greetings, Consort Qing.

Why did you request

an audience with me?
