Blood River Episode 25

No place to call home

Muyu and Changhe hope to settle the new Blood River in Na’An with the clinic, but the two leading families are not having it. They are opposed strongly enough that they framed the one helping them with deed to the clinic for murdering the magistrate’s son. Doc Bai proves how he really died and their friend was released but they recognized only more discord would follow. Muyu tells him to keep the deed. When king of medicine heard Muyu was cooking, he fled rapidly after making sure Doc Bai was free of the puppet poison. He is attacked on the way home by the student responsible for wrongly using the puppet poison on the living. I hope whatever he drank before capture works for him. Night Crow is annoying. She is a good match for scheming first prince and hopefully both will be dealt with. Preferably permanently. I have to hope that one with the medicinal skills of the king of medicine not made a puppet for their cause. Then any hopes of a cure for the poison would be lost. For now Changhe and Muyu see their best chance of a new settlement is making an alliance with the Tang clan. Interesting move after the result with both clans past leaders. Doc Bai has given Muyu a jade snake to cover any poison he might encounter. It will give him a ten day counter poison to give him time to get to her for help. I am surprised that the city went to such lengths to keep out the ones who brought them a useful clinic. Their bullying ways doesn’t give a bright hope for how the city will develop in future. I hope the king of medicine gets rescued before they can make him cause trouble.
