I had to leave the teahouse

Little did I guess...

... that he wouldn't provide a cure...

Instead he trapped me on an island...

... and forced me to make "Bird's Tongue" tea for him every day

"Bird's Tongue" tea...

Since "Bird's Tongue" tea is exclusive to the imperial court...

... solely for the pleasure of the high-born...

... Huo Yi wanted to put parasites in the tea, didn't he?

Eunuch Lao from the Palace came to me for treatment

He gave me a half-catty!

Fetch it!

Let's take a close look at it!

IMPERIAL TRIBUTE TEA

There are parasites in the tea!

I'll check what kind they are

It's a type of dung beetle!

The rarest and weirdest of parasites!

When the tea enters the body...

... the first effect is to boost strength

The person will feel very energetic

But when infestation sets in...

... death is certain

Good parasites!

Good parasites!

This is an Imperial Tribute

If all the nobles are taking this tea...

... the imperial court is doomed!

Even worse...

... the Emperor!

The Empress's deadline...

... was already three days ago

But the case...

... remains unsolved

BIRD'S TONGUE

"The situation is grave"

"A national disaster looms"

"To keep this secret..."

"... please meet me at the back door"

"Dee"

Dee!

I'll see just how clever you are!

- Sovle it?

- I have the clues to solve the case

We face the death penalty!

What's there to solve?

I can convince Her Majesty

Let me go to the Palace to see Her Majesty

I'm sure I can get the deadline extended

How could you convince her?

Reporting to Your Majesty...

The head of the Da Lisi...

... Yuchi...

... he wants to see you urgently

Ridiculous!

Where did this man come from?

He is...

... from the Da Lisi

A new recruit

The imperial court of Luoyang...

... numbers more than 1,200 people

Almost eveyone drinks "Bird's Tongue"

If...

... everyone is infested by parasites...

... then the plotters aim...

... to murder the Imperial family and end our Great Tang Dynasty

Your humble servant guesses...

... that is indeed their intention

Your humble servant...

... also considers this guess to be absurd...

... and incredible

This is just talk!

Even if your words are true...

... the person of the Emperor...

... is not available to the likes of you!

He must be treated by the Imperial Doctor

Your Majesty...

Our nation faces disaster...

If you hold to such formalities ...

... nothing can save us

What?

Your humble servant has medicine to curb the parasites

Please summon any official who drinks "Bird's Tongue" tea

A test will be the proof

Chief of Administration...

Why am I summoned to the Palace in such haste?

Has someone been examining my records?

Father... Mother...

Your son will finally fulfill your expectations!

I will live up my name Yuanda: "Far and Wide"!

Rise...

Thank you, Your Majesty

We summon you in the still of the starry night...

... to ask whether or not...

... you often drink "Bird's Tongue" tea

I do!

It strengthens the qi and the body

I drink a pot every morning and evening

Noble Sir...

Please have this medicine soup for your health

Medicinal soup for my health?

What is it for?

Minister Ding...

Is it at every midnight...

... that your stomach is upset?

So that you need to take this tea...

... to regain your strength?

In response to Your Majesty...

That is so

But if I take more of the tea...

... I always feel very much stronger

Then please take this soup at once

It's a test for the Emperor's medicine

Your humble servant understands

This taste...

Why is it so fishy?

Noble Sir...

This is the secret family prescription of the Imperial Doctor

One bowl will extend your life for a year

I'm grateful for Her Majesty's generosity!

Does this soup really prolong life

It was obtained from the Administration office

"Virgin Male Urine"

Eunuch's urine!

Absurd!

You give my officials urine?

It's been tested by Imperial Doctor Wang Pu

The dung beetle parasites produce 'hot' poisons

The antidote is a 'cool' medicinal soup

The effect will be felt within two hours

Very well...

Guards!

Detain him...

After two hours...

... if there's no effect on Minister Ding...

... Dee will be executed forthwith!

We obey!

As for you...

You'd be better watch Minister Ding

If Dee was lying...

... he will be punished

And you will be imprisoned!

Wang Pu...

I devoutly wish that your remedy is effective!

Minister Ding...

Do you feel any change?

Have a bowl of urine yourself

Then you'll know what changes to expect!

Your Majesty...

The time is up

Minister Ding reports no change

Decapitate him!

We obey!

Withdraw the blade!

I have Imperial Doctor Wang Pu's authority...

... to beg Her Majesty for clemency!

Please spare the life for Dee!

Stop the execution!

Intruder on the execution ground!

Immediate death penalty!

I am the Imperial Doctor's apprentice

Shatuo

I have my master's authority to plead for clemency

Please wait for another hour or two

The medicine wil surely take effect

Your Majesty, please spare his life

Ruiji, you should not be here

Dee dares to take this risk...

... because he wants to save the Emperor!

It's the Courtesan of Luoyang

It's the Courtesan of Luoyang

Yin Ruiji

Dee has found...

... the cure for the Emperor

Just wait an hour or two!

Execute him now!

If anyone delays further...

.. they will die too!

Execute him now!

Withdraw the blade!

Don't execute him!

- No!

- Don't do it!

"Raindrop drums"

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty, Yuchi is calling "Raindrop drums"!

There's been a change in the Palace

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty...

Stay the execution!

Stay the execution at once!

Ruiji...

You shouldn't come to the Palace

You can't stay here a minute longer!

Leave at once!

Shatuo, follow me inside!

Step back!

Step back!

Her Majesty is here!

Your Majesty

Your Majesty, take care!

Quick!

Make way!

Your Majesty...

Dee is here

Now the parasites have shown themselves...

... the first priority is to treat the Emperor

The "Golden Soup"

Prepare His Majesty's mouth!

Please order the Interior Ministry...

... to provide more of the antidote

Supply it to the Imperial family and the court

In this way...

... the villains' evil plan...

... will be foiled

Drink!

Drink!

Drink more!

Drink it all!

His Majesty generously provides...

... all of us officials...

... with this Imperial tonic

Drink it!

Your Majesty, thank you!

(Dondo) Something's wrong!

Dee...

Your insights are matchless

No one else can compare

You dared to risk your own life...

... to save our country from this peril

No wonder Minister Yan so highly recommended you

"Brightest Pearl of a River"

"Priceless Treasure of the East"

Your Majesty...

The villains behind this are still at large

The danger is stil present

Sir, please extend the deadline for concluding the case

Your Majesty...

What Dee says is true

Your Majesty, please show indulgence

We will do our utmost...

... to arrest the villains and mete out justice
