[Follow Your Heart]

[Episode 4]

My lord,

you worry me so much.

Why did you

drink with Nan Jifeng

when I wasn't here?

If anything happens to you,

I might lose my head

when I return to the capital.

I had no choice.

If I didn't drink,

all our efforts

would have been in vain.

Even then, you still shouldn't drink.

Don't you know

about your situation?

Not only are you a lightweight,

but you also have face blindness.

If you expose yourself

and something happens to you,

how will I explain to the princess?

Yao Qianshu.

Yes.

Are you lecturing me?

I dare not.

I just feel bad for you.

You don't even socialize in the capital.

Why must you lower yourself

in a small place like this?

If you want to get things done,

you need to learn

to dance to the tune

of the people you meet.

It's not about lowering oneself.

While I was gone,

did Nan Jifeng send someone to keep an eye on you?

No.

Even if he did,

I could get rid of them.

What have you found?

There are three major clans in Heman City,

which are Tumen, Gongye and Moqi.

They're all rich clans

with century-old foundations in this area.

The Tumen clan has been county magistrates for five generations.

The Gongye clan occupies the county lieutenancy

and follows Tumen's orders.

The Moqi are quite mysterious.

They've been doing business in Heman for generations

and are outstanding,

but the head of this generation

has never appeared.

Because Zornia has only entered the country

in recent years.

You can't be too brazen

when dabbling in such a business.

By the way, my lord,

I didn't find

the head of the Moqi clan,

but I've recorded

all of the Moqi clan's stores

in Heman.

Please take a look.

Pawnshop,

villa,

casino, tavern

They do quite a lot.

I have a second piece of intel.

Do you want to hear it?

What?

My mother went into General Nan's study before.

She said there's something fishy in there.

There must be a secret room,

but she didn't know how to get in.

Why did your mother sneak into

the study of the General's Residence?

Ask what you should.

Don't ask what you shouldn't.

I didn't force you

to tell your secret either.

You're trying so hard to enter the General's Residence.

You must want to know something.

The thing you want

must be in the secret room.

There must be

what you're looking for too, right?

Does Nan Jifeng interact with

the three major clans often?

Two years ago

when Nan Jifeng was transferred to Heman,

he interacted frequently

with the three major clans.

It's not as frequent now.

Nan Jifeng's position is stable now,

so he naturally

avoids suspicion on the surface.

My lord,

what should we do next?

Find the evidence

of Nan Jifeng and the three clans' crimes.

[Jingteng Hall]

I'm not leaving.

You leave if you want.

Anyway, I'm not leaving.

The general asked Her Ladyship to go back to her maiden home

and irritated her again.

Mr. Xi.

Madam.

Mr. Xi,

are you here to see the general?

I’m afraid he

It's fine.

Actually, I came here today

to

pay my respects to you.

To me?

I bet you must want to see Dr. Yan instead.

Your Ladyship, you must be joking.

You're just in time.

I've saved you a bowl of the herbal soup

I made for Her Ladyship.

Try it.

It's good for your health.

What?

Are you afraid I put strange things in this?

That's right.

Trust me.

Our cooperation

has been put on the agenda.

Are you sure?

To be precise,

this time,

you need to help me more.

However,

you don't need to pay

or use your looks.

When the deed is done,

name your price.

I don't have to pay

or use my looks,

and I can even name my price when it's done?

Why do I think

it sounds

even more dangerous?

Listen to me.

Dr. Yan.

Madam.

Sorry to bother you again.

No, no, no. It's no bother.

I'm just here to deliver some fruits.

Madam.

I want to take Yan Nanxing

for a stroll.

Is that okay?

Yes,

but Dr. Yan,

you won't run away again, right?

Madam, you must be joking.

I will definitely return her.

Let's go.

Thank you, Madam.

This is not bad.

I didn't take a closer look last time.

It's quite elegant.

Last time?

When were you here before?

I mean

when I passed by last time.

When I pass by the river,

I often see

many similar pleasure boats here,

but I never looked carefully.

Isn't it dizzying to sleep

on a boat?

Why don't you stay in an inn?

Heman is a waterfront city.

It's rare for me to come here.

Naturally,

I must live in a representative place.

Have some tea.

Got it.

Pleasure boats are places to spend money

and get pleasure.

Here, you can drink some tea,

listen to music,

then drink some wine

and have some beauties in your lap.

You'll be as happy as a god.

How come

you sound like

a jealous wife?

Wife?

Are you willing to let your wife

work for you outside

and tell her

to name her price

after the deed's done?

Alright,

I'll stop joking with you.

I was afraid of eavesdroppers

at the General's Residence,

so I invited you here.

It's totally necessary.

You

lack awareness

and can't read the room.

It's because I don't care.

Tell me.

What's the matter?

Tonight,

I want to ask you

to keep General Nan away from the study.

Two hours is enough.

Distract General Nan.

After I find the secret room,

I'll exit and help guard for you.

Then you can go in

and find what you want.

Working together

and protecting each other.

It sounds

like a pretty good plan,

but why do I feel like

I'm at a disadvantage?

For example?

For example

Look.

Working alone,

if I fail and get caught,

I can make amends

due to my medical merits

and save myself.

But if you're added, with your mysterious background

and ulterior motives,

General Nan might get unhappy

and k*ll us.

It's not worth it for me.

Tell me.

How much money do you need

for you to take this risk?

Money is not a problem for you.

I don't want something that you don't value.

Then what do you want?

I want to know

if you have

relatives or friends

who were hurt by Zornia before.

Heman is where Zornia enters the country

and you came here to investigate it.

Are you suspecting

General Nan

has something to do with the bad guys

who k*lled your family?

Or

do you want to find them

through General Nan?

Or maybe

Your enemy

includes General Nan?

Am I right?

Yan Nanxing,

it’s a waste for you

to be a traveling doctor.

You should be a storyteller.

You're trying to gloss over things again.

Mr. Xi!

Mr. Xi,

we meet again.

Our girls earn

30 taels of silver a month here.

I only gave you a discount

because you pay monthly.

Madam,

are you here

to collect rent?

No.

It's just that

you rent my pleasure boat

and pay despite not wanting the girls.

I feel

so uncomfortable inside.

It seems

you

don't like our girls.

You must think they are not pretty enough.

We got two new girls today.

They're beautiful.

Greet Mr. Xi.

Hello, Mr. Xi.

No need.

Mr. Xi, don't hold back.

Let them

accompany you tonight.

It's really unnecessary.

Today,

I have something else to do.

You must know that a moment of love

is worth thousands.

Go!

Mr. Xi,

I missed you so much.

What are you doing?

Let go.

Let go! And that one too, let go!

Do you own this pleasure boat?

You think you can come in as you want?

Mr. Xi,

is she your maid?

You're dressed prettily.

Do you have bad eyesight?

Do I look like a maid to you?

No.

You look like a maid's mother.

You have bad eyesight.

I know you.

I know you.

You are that

volunteer female doctor?

Right.

I'm not only a female doctor,

but also

Mr. Xi's wife.

My husband

came to Heman for business.

I worried

some weird girls would pester him,

so I followed him here.

From what was said just now,

you've been a good boy.

Good job.

I'm relieved.

No wonder

Mr. Xi is so obedient.

He's married to a tigress.

You're so smart.

I really am a tigress.

Tigress!

I'll prick you to death.

I'll prick you to death!

Don't come over!

Yes, I'm so uncouth.

Go away!

-Run! Are you scared?

-A tigress!

Don't prick me! Go away!

Tigress!

Gosh.

She has bad eyesight.

I don't look good?

What are you doing?

Can't you tell?

I'm helping you.

If I didn't help,

they would've

eaten you alive.

Look at the way they looked at you.

It was like wolves seeing meat.

That hand kept stroking

your body.

Be careful.

Don't get seduced.

Are you jealous?

I mean

So,

you called yourself my wife

and even disregarded your reputation?

You really don't know me.

In this martial world,

I remain untainted

by the environment.

We just met by chance

and take what we need.

When we get out of Heman,

we will never meet again.

Why would I be jealous?

So,

you agree?

Yes,

but let's make it clear.

I want to enter the secret room

of the General's Residence too.

We'll take what we each need.

Okay.

Deal.

[General's Residence]

Dr. Yan.

Is this the general's hangover soup

from Her Ladyship?

Yes.

You're alone today?

Where's Yue?

She should still be in the kitchen.

Okay.

Not bad. It's quite hot.

Quickly send it to the general.

Go ahead.

What did you

sprinkle into that bowl?

You won't know even if I tell you.

It's medicine that you don't need.

Fine, I'll tell you.

When the general comes out later,

you have to hurry in.

You must be quick.

My medicine works well,

but they

are not young anymore.

It'll be

two hours at most.

You know.

Two hours.

Good job, Dr. Yan.

Madam,

the peonies

in the garden are blooming these days.

Yes.

Look.

You're almost healed

and it's a lovely night.

How about

you invite the general over tonight?

I haven't fully recovered.

So what?

The general loves you deeply.

He won't mind.

Plus, you said

he has been wronged these days.

Gaya.

General?

Gaya.

Gaya.

Gaya.

Gaya.

[Zhang Hui]

[Yuwen Wu]

The doors and windows are closed,

but there's a draft.

What are you doing?

k*lling me after using me?

Put it down.

It's you?

You're pretending you don't know me?

Let's go.

Let's go back first.

Why?

Now it's your turn to guard.

I haven't entered yet.

Stop messing around.

I'm not.

I have to go inside.

Come back with me.

I haven't

What are you doing?

Why can't I go in?

What are you doing?

Are you burning bridges?

Someone passed by the door of the study.

I think you're just wary of me.

What's in the secret room?

I think

Lady Gaya

has almost recovered.

How about

you leave tonight?

What's wrong with you?

Why should I leave tonight?

I haven't entered the secret room yet.

What exactly are you looking for?

You tell me first.

What's in the secret room?

Money.

What else?

Money,

money,

and more money.

Nothing else?

If you're not looking for money,

there's nothing in the room that you want.

No.

I have to check it out myself.

You don't trust me?

It's not that I don't trust you.

I have to see it myself

before I give up.

I'm not joking.

The secret room

doesn't have what you're looking for.

Things are about to change in Heman.

You shouldn't get involved in this mess.

It's a matter of life and death.

Tonight,

you must leave.

Yan Nanxing.

I don't want to get you involved.

You

Are you

showing concern for me?

What do I have to say

for you to leave?

No, you don't understand.

I can't leave tonight.

Stubborn!

You have to at least

promise me one thing.

Do not

leave your room tonight.

What?

Is he crazy?

Lieutenant General Li,

what are you doing?

General Nan,

even if the deal fails, the righteousness remains.

Why the murderous intent?

I don't understand what you're talking about.

What's going on?

Is there a misunderstanding?

How about we untie Lieutenant General Li first?

Untie him.

Tell me.

What happened?

General,

I saw this man

sneak into your study

and this woman helped him.

I was worried

he would harm you.

That's why I acted on my own impulse

to get rid of him.

Your own impulse?

I'm curious

what horrible things

your general has done

that you need to hide for him

by k*lling me.

Follow me to the study.

I'm afraid there's a trap.

I've already searched the study.

There are no traps.

Nan Jifeng can't k*ll me anyway.

I'd like to see

how he wants to dispute this.

Watch over Yan Nanxing.

Don’t let anything go wrong.

Stay with my people.

Don't trust anyone else.

Then you

Don't worry.

Wait for me here.

It's fine.

Jifeng, be careful.

Jifeng!

Jifeng!

Jifeng!

Jifeng, are you alright?

Don't panic.

The knife is poisoned.

Take him inside.

Hurry!

Hurry!

Help the general in.

Hurry.

Madam.

Where is the magical medicine of your tribe?

Quickly take them out.

I can't.

The magical medicine is gendered.

Mine is feminine medicine.

The general can't take it.

What are you doing?

Yan Nanxing!

Countering poison with poison

can lure out some of the poison

in the general.

Your blood is poisonous?

I almost died when I was young.

I ate all kinds of weird herbs

and quite a lot of toxins built up in me.

So you're the Poison Girl?

Madam.

Do you have Zornia?

Zornia?

What?

Zornia?

Although it's poisonous when it's processed,

it's not an ordinary thing.

All poison is also medicine.

A small amount of Zornia

can also help detoxify his body.

I won't take it!

Even if I die by poisoning,

I will never touch that thing again.

Jifeng!

Jifeng!

Jifeng.

Madam, here.

Have the general drink this.

Jifeng,

come. Slowly.

Slowly.

Yan Nanxing,

must it be Zornia?

Is there no replacement?

There is.

There is another way.

We can use human blood as the guiding drug.

Then use my blood.

No, Madam.

Women's blood has yin energy.

It doesn't match men's blood.

Then what can we do?

You can't let me

watch him die like this.

Dr. Yan,

I beg you.

You must find a way

to save him.

Please.

Treatment with human blood?

I've never heard of this before.

This is a folk prescription.

First, I'll use my blood to counter poison with poison

and force out some toxins.

Then I'll use fresh human blood as the guiding drug

for detoxification.

How much do you need?

At least

one bowl.

What should we do?

Is there any other way?

Mr. Xi.

Yan Nanxing,

use my blood

and save Nan Jifeng.

Are you

really not afraid of death?

You've lost so much blood.

What if General Nan can't be saved

and you collapse too?

You said

there are things you fear more than death

and there are things

you want to do more than to live,

right?

In my life,

there's also a mission

that makes me not thirst for life

nor fear death.

Mission?

Yes,

a mission.

Without General Nan,

the mission I came here for

won't be completed.

Besides,

I brought the m*rder*r here.

It's my responsibility.

Do you know

why I won't

open an actual clinic

and instead wander around

as a traveling doctor?

It's because I don't want to face

these life-or-death matters all the time.

I've been practicing medicine

with my mother since I was little

and traveled everywhere.

Actually, my mother saved many people.

But there were also many

who couldn't be saved.

If one person died,

an entire family would fall apart.

I didn't understand.

My mother was doing good deeds,

but why did she feel burdened

like she was carrying people's lives?

From then on,

I made up my mind

that I wanted to be

a doctor who didn't deal with death.

Sometimes, I thought

healing skin diseases

or giving acupuncture for facial paralysis was nice.

Even if I couldn't cure them,

I wouldn't k*ll them,

right?

But

you never gave up on

any patient.

Sometimes,

you seem like

you're running away,

but it's never true,

right?

I know.

You want to say that

I'm a benevolent doctor.

I am indeed

a good doctor,

both talented and pretty,

Hua Tuo reincarnated,

and I provide good service.

You envy me.

Have a rest.

Thank you.

Actually

Actually, you don't have to thank me.

I didn't even tell my mother

what I said to you just now.

But I'm happy.

Telling you these things

feels like

Feels like

I made a friend.

Maybe

Maybe we’re not friends.

My name is Jiang Xinbai.

It's from the poem,

"the autumn moon in the heart of the river is pale."

My father's surname is Xi,

but I took my mother's surname.

What exactly do you do?

You're quite greedy.

I told you all of my

inside thoughts.

Can't we have a heart-to-heart exchange?

What you said just now

was what you wanted to say.

I didn't ask you to say it.

You

You only say that after you heard everything.

My hand is still injured.

Stop pretending.

You look fine.

It hurts so much.

Who

I don’t believe it.

Thank you, Dr. Yan,

for taking care of our boss.

Just call me Poison Girl.

I think you're very creative.

If I say that,

I'm afraid some people won't like it.

It doesn't matter if he likes it or not.

I accept it.

What a personality.

If you're done, let's get down to business.

My lord,

I've checked the supplement roster

of soldiers under Nan Jifeng.

In the two years

since Nan Jifeng was sent to Heman,

other than casualties

and discharged soldiers,

there are five unidentified deaths.

Yuwen Wu, Zhao Li, Du Tong,

Zhang Hui, and Zhu Ziquan.

[Yuwen Wu]

[Zhao Li]

[Du Tong]

[Zhang Hui]

[Zhu Ziquan]

These five died in the first year

of Nan Jifeng's term.

Meanwhile, Nan Jifeng

only started pretending

to be alcoholic in the second year.
