The Great Shaolin Episode 23

Wu Xiang and Bai Huo talk about the predicament: Ming De is holding Shaolin hostage, demanding Wu Xiang heal his illness. Wu Xiang visits Ming De and, under the extremely watchful eye of Liang Wu, takes Ming De’s pulse. He informs Ming De that he has the pulse of a dying man, but Ming De gives him three days to make him a cure, or he will kill Zhen Zhen. While Wu Xiang deliberates about what he should do, Bai Huo convinces Ming De to allow Zhen Zhen to see Wu Xiang. When she visits him in the kitchen, she begs him to kill Ming De and gives him one of the poison pills given to her by Madam Gu. Bai Huo is suspicious, and we cannot be sure if the poison pill makes it into Ming De’s brew or not. Ming De hesitates before drinking the medicine, even though Wu Xiang volunteers to drink it himself. In an unexpected and cruel test, he forces Zhen Zhen to drink the medicine. The outcome is surprising. Meanwhile, Gao Jian Xiong, still a prisoner, is reflecting on the dynamic which shaped his relationships with his brothers since childhood. He begs Ming De for another chance, and it seems like he will get it. (Source: Firebird Star at kisskh)
