Episode 27 recap: "Liu Li is critically ill and her condition is deteriorating rapidly.
After Pei Xing Jian returned home, Liu Li was already asleep. Pei Xing Jian didn't have the heart to wake her up, so he gently carried her to bed. However, Liu Li woke up anyway. She felt some discomfort in her chest, which greatly worried Pei Xing Jian. He informed Liu Li about the orders given by the Sage. Everyone involved in the case has been convicted, and Pei Xing Jian still needs to stabilize the military situation. He knew that his time to return to the camp was approaching, which meant he would have less time to spend with Liu Li. Liu Li was very reluctant, but she understood the situation.
Currently, Xizhou remains as lively as usual. When Yun Yi saw Cai Chongyu approaching, she couldn't help but smile. Cai Chongyu came to see Liu Li, but to everyone's surprise, he was dressed like the Kitchen God, which made everyone burst into laughter. Yun Yi went over to pour tea for Cai Chongyu. Initially, Cai Chongyu wanted Liu Li to meet her fellow villagers, but Yun Yi mentioned that Liu Li's health hasn't been good lately, so it might not be suitable. However, Liu Li still agreed to go and meet her fellow villagers. Despite feeling unwell, she pushed through her fatigue and went.
The fellow villagers brought gifts for Liu Li, and she also prepared small gifts for them. Everyone was very grateful to Liu Li. However, just as Liu Li came out of the mansion, she suddenly fainted. Everyone was frightened and quickly rushed to help her. But now, Liu Li's hands and feet were cold, and she remained unconscious. The group of people couldn't come up with a better solution, and they had differing opinions. Han Si couldn't provide a proper explanation either. Naturally, Cai Chongyu was very anxious because Pei Xing Jian wasn't at home during this time, so they needed Cai Chongyu's care.
Han Si informed everyone that Liu Li's symptoms were likely caused by alternating hot and cold temperatures. Therefore, the priority now was to ensure her body remained warm. Han Si quickly prescribed medicine, intending to use a toxic substance to counteract another toxin. However, other concerned individuals disagreed with this approach and hurriedly left.
During this time, everyone stayed by Liu Li's side. However, since she remained unconscious, she couldn't even drink the prescribed herbal medicine. They had to inform Pei Xing Jian about this and sent someone to deliver the news urgently. Upon learning of the situation, Pei Xing Jian was rushing back overnight.
Yun Yi saw that Cai Chongyu had been standing at the door all this time and suggested he should go and rest. Cai Chongyu blamed himself, thinking that if he hadn't insisted on having Liu Li meet her fellow villagers, this wouldn't have happened. Yun Yi, on the other hand, kept comforting him. She reminded him that Liu Li had once suffered from a serious illness, but thanks to Pei Xing Jian finding precious medicinal herbs, she was cured. Liu Li's unfortunate circumstance was that she rarely fell ill, but when she did, it was a severe illness."
A day and night had passed, but Liu Li's condition showed no signs of improvement. Everyone was extremely worried, and Han Si also came to visit Liu Li. Everyone pleaded with Han Si to save Liu Li. Han Si wrote another prescription, suggesting the use of moxibustion if it were a man. However, since Liu Li was a married woman, they hesitated to make that decision.
Just then, Pei Xing Jian returned. Pei Xing Jian requested Han Si to perform moxibustion on Liu Li. Pei Xing Jian remained by Liu Li's side, taking care of the more private aspects of the treatment.
After the treatment, Liu Li's cold hands and feet gradually improved. Pei Xing Jian continued to stay by her side, and Liu Li was even able to consume some herbal soup, which was good news for them. When Han Si rested, he noticed that San Niang had injured her hand, so he quickly applied medicine to her.
San Niang felt a warm feeling in her heart because Han Si genuinely cared about her. Zhang Min Niang came to visit Liu Li, pretending to be concerned, but was stopped by Madam Liu at the door since Liu Li was still unconscious. Madam Liu noticed that Zhang Min Niang seemed interested in Yun Yi and warned her to be careful.
Pei Xing Jian was doing nothing else at this time, just staying by Liu Li's side and telling her stories every day. In her dreams, Liu Li found herself walking in a snowy landscape, lost and unsure of which direction to take. Zhang Min Niang found an excuse to visit Liu Li again, but the maidservant quickly informed Yun Yi of the situation.
