The Protectorate camp of Lin'an prefecture has been puzzled by questions. Captain rong summons him. It's true. The worms inside zhong's brain are removed, but the anesthetic is taking effect. He can go on his research. The woman is incredible, he says. She has an "uncontrollable charm" that no ordinary person can understand. She's a "treasure" to anyone who has her. He asks if he's impressed by her medical skills, and she says yes. He says she makes him fall for her, and he didn't pay her for it. The doctor says that the effect of the anesthetic drug has passed, and that xiaoli has prepared medicine for zhong. He tells zhong to take medicine, and it's bitter.
