Episode 23 plot introduction

Fan Yun and Qi Zheng were sitting on the carriage on their way to Yongcheng. Thinking of the problems they might encounter after Yongcheng, Fan Yun told Qi Zheng that if there was a conflict between the people and her, she must give up her life.Qi Zheng asked Fan Yun if he would tell Gao Ran the same thing. Fan Yun was stunned and didn't know why.Qi Zheng got out of the carriage angrily and rode forward at high speed alone. Fan Yun was not in a hurry, believing that Qi Zheng would not be able to run very long because the sun was so strong.Sure enough, Qi Zheng suffered from heat stroke while riding a horse in the scorching sun. He still wanted to continue racing despite his stubborn words. Fan Yun couldn't bear it, so he pulled Qi Zheng into the carriage and apologized to Qi Zheng. He shouldn't have ignored the feelings of the people around him for his own purposes. This was no different from Zheng Yuan.Qi Zheng also explained to Fan Yun that he was not angry with her, but with himself. He knew that what Fan Yun said was true, but sometimes he could not protect Fan Yun Zhouquan, and even failed to say a word of rebuttal.

Tian Xing suddenly received a crescent bracelet, which belonged to his sister. He knew that his sister had been caught by some people. He recalled that eight years ago, his sister had an accident to protect him. Now that he had news about his sister and learned that her sister was still alive, it became a handle to blackmail him against Fan Yun.When Tian Xing was in a daze, Suyin brought a bun. The chestnut filling inside was exactly what her sister used to make, which made Tian Xing feel even more sad.

Fan Yun and Qi Zheng soon arrived at Yongcheng. The soldiers guarding the city not only did not open the door, but also accused Fan Yun of impersonating the Lord of Nine Cities. He took aim at Fan Yun with a bow and arrow. Qi Zheng grabbed the arrow and saved Fan Yun.The Lord of Yongcheng rushed to recognize Qi Zheng and ordered the door to be opened, but the people swarmed out to prevent Qi Zheng and others from entering the city, thinking that Fan Yun's appointment as an official would bring disaster.Fan Yun and Qi Zheng worked together to persuade the people to put aside their prejudices and show their sincerity in treating the people. In addition, Zhu Luan and Chun Xiu came forward to stop and persuade the people, and finally gained the people's trust and allowed them to enter the city.

Zhu Luan was very happy to see the people brought by Fan Yun busy treating the people and brewing herbal medicine. Fan Yun heard Zhu Luan say that Suyin asked her to go to the city gate and asked where Suyin was.Zhu Luan mentioned that Tian Xing was originally going to meet Fan Yun together, but suddenly he left because of something, Suyin was worried and chased after him.Fan Yun and Qi Zheng wanted to search together, but were stopped by Zhu Luan. Zhu Luan felt that the top priority was to save everyone. She was familiar with the local terrain and was willing to search alone, so Fan Yun had to agree.

Zheng Shi also led his team outside the city. He was relieved after hearing that Fan Yun had successfully entered the city. His subordinates were worried that Zheng Yuan would blame him, but Zheng Shi was confident. He had already lied to Zheng Yuan and told Zheng Yuan that he had gone to the temple to pray for blessings and would not be able to go back for about a month.He kept saying that he came to see how to make money, but in fact he didn't mention making money at all. Instead, he asked people to inquire about the information in advance to clear the obstacles for Fan Yun.

Qi Zheng arranged for all city officials to obey Fan Yun's command. Fan Yun arranged for the escort led by Gao Ran to work with local officials to treat the people, and encouraged Chunxiu to take the women to crush the medicine.Chunxiu's husband took the lead in opposing it, accusing these drugs of being poison and that they should believe in the fairy water.Qi Zheng was the first to drink the medicine and it proved to be non-toxic. Even children came forward to drink the medicine without any problems. Chunxiu slapped her husband on the cheek and drove him away. Qi Zheng couldn't help but praise the Yongcheng women for their power.

Suyin caught up with Tian Xing on horseback and forced Tian Xing to tell the reason for leaving. Tian Xing confessed that someone had caught his sister and threatened him to hand over Fan Yun. She could not be sorry to Fan Yun, nor could she put her sister in danger and had to go alone. Suyin thought it was inappropriate and wanted to take Tian Xing back first. Several people in white robes blocked their way and caught the two of them.

The leader of the white robe was a woman who always covered her face with a veil. She mistook Suyin for Fan Yun. When she heard that Fan Yun was rescuing people in the city, she knew that she had arrested the wrong person and ordered them to be imprisoned.

In Yongcheng, Chunxiu brought food back to his son who was infected with the plague, but suddenly found his son vomiting blood. Chunxiu shouted for help.On the other hand, Fan Yun and Qi Zheng found that Chunxiu did not come to help, and there were fewer people coming to collect medicines today. When they were puzzled, someone came to report that a large number of corpses with recorded malaria infection were found outside the city, and people rushed there.
