Prodigy Healer Episode 7 Recap
> Prodigy Healer Recap
Mu Xingchen’s master carefully examined the female corpse, recognizing it as Xiaodie, her long-standing romantic rival. She recalled that Mu Nanyue had once abandoned his position as chief of the Shenmu clan for Xiaodie. The master and Mu Nanyue had been lovers, but Xiaodie’s presence had driven them apart, leading the master, in a fit of rage, to secretly poison Xiaodie years ago. She was astonished to find that Mu Nanyue had preserved Xiaodie’s body for so many years.
Meanwhile, back in the Shenmu tribe, Yue Ying came looking for Mu Xingchen. Shi Hu, who had taken on Mu Xingchen’s appearance, embraced Yue Ying convincingly. This impersonation had, over time, significantly deepened the bond between Mu Xingchen and Yue Ying. After Yue Ying departed, Shi Hu penned a letter to Mu Xingchen, detailing the dire situation: the sacred tree was slowly withering, and poisonous hornets were repeatedly stinging people, causing immense pain, though not immediately life-threatening.
The letter urged Mu Xingchen to return to the tribe without delay. Meijiao delivered this urgent message to Mu Xingchen. Ye Yunshang, witnessing their unusual communication method, expressed her curiosity. Mu Xingchen then instructed Meijiao to send a reply, stating he was actively searching for a cure for the sacred tree and would return as soon as he found it.
One day, while Mu Xingchen was engrossed in a book, Ye Yunshang, finding his room untidy, began to clean up for him. However, her true intention was to snoop through his belongings. Mu Xingchen, aware of her mischief, playfully pranked her with a hiccup flower. Its seeds, he explained, could cause incessant hiccups and, if untreated, would take root in the body, condemning one to burp for life.
Ye Yunshang suffered from uncontrollable hiccups until she finally begged for mercy and promised not to pry again. Only then did Mu Xingchen cure her. Later, Mu Xingchen shared a secret with Ye Yunshang: he had followed his master to a crystal cave where he discovered a remarkably lifelike corpse. Intrigued, Ye Yunshang insisted that he take her to see it.
As they made their way to the cave, Mayor Shangguan, who was reviewing documents, suddenly sensed an intrusion in the crystal cave and hurried there. Mu Xingchen and Ye Yunshang quickly hid as Mayor Shangguan began searching for the trespassers. A voice then called out from behind him, "Mu Nanyue, you deceived me and Xiaodie, and now you've become another person. Are you still trying to deceive other women? Today I will demand justice from you!"
It was Mu Xingchen's master, Kong Chan. Mayor Shangguan, feigning ignorance, replied, "I don't know what you're talking about." A fierce battle ensued in the crystal cave, during which Mayor Shangguan’s mask was torn off, revealing him to be Mu Nanyue. Now unmasked, Mu Nanyue coldly told Kong Chan to stop pushing him, warning he would no longer show mercy. Kong Chan, with a sorrowful expression, confronted him, "You abandoned me then, making me the laughing stock of the clansmen.
I wish I could kill you today." Mu Nanyue reiterated his stance, "Kong Chan, I have made it very clear to you. You and I are impossible." Heartbroken, Kong Chan asked, "For so many years, I just want to ask you, do I have no place at all in your heart?" Mu Nanyue’s cold reply was definitive: "My heart holds only Xiaodie." Kong Chan, deeply hurt, declared, "From now on, our ties are completely severed," and left the cave.
Feeling the crystal cave was no longer safe, Mu Nanyue then gently spoke to Xiaodie’s body, "Xiaodie, it is no longer safe here. I'll take you home," and departed with her. Once Mu Nanyue was gone, Ye Yunshang and Mu Xingchen emerged from their hiding spot. Ye Yunshang noticed hornets present in the crystal cave, which led her to suspect that Mu Xingchen's uncle might be the one controlling them. Mu Xingchen agreed that it must be related to him.
Further inspection revealed another perfectly preserved female corpse lying beneath Xiaodie's crystal coffin. Mu Xingchen commented that the situation was far more complicated than they had imagined. Mu Nanyue, having resumed his identity as Mayor Shangguan, brought Xiaodie’s body to his home. There, he established a secret room and constructed a new crystal coffin to house her.
News of a new Japanese-made specific drug, developed by Professor Fujiwara, spread via radio advertisements, claiming to be a "poisonous bee nemesis" that could prevent and treat stings, while also boosting vitality. At a local pharmacy, a helper enthusiastically recommended the drug to Mu Xingchen, noting its popularity and reported positive effects on patients. Curious about its efficacy, Mu Xingchen decided to try it. He drank one bottle, found it palatable but ineffective, then requested two more.
After consuming the second bottle, he still felt no significant change. Upon drinking the third, however, a powerful sensation took over him. He described feeling as if he were in a wondrous, ethereal realm, overcome with a sense of euphoria and a desire to sing. Soon, he became wildly delirious, proclaiming himself king and expressing his affection for Yunshang. Ye Yunshang arrived to find Mu Xingchen in this state.
After examining the specific drug, she angrily concluded it was nothing more than morphine, a pain-relieving anesthetic with no genuine effect against bee venom, and certainly not in such excessive quantities. She realized that its widespread popularity was due to its addictive properties. Enraged, she confronted Qiao Zhen Tian, accusing him of shamelessly profiting from fake medicine containing an unregulated amount of morphine.
Qiao Zhen Tian defended himself, claiming the medicine had all necessary approvals, even showing her a customs clearance document. He argued that it merely lessened the suffering of dying patients. Ye Yunshang, infuriated, lunged at him. Qiao Zhen Tian then surprised her by revealing that they were soon to be married and asked her to be gentler.
Ye Yunshang vehemently denied any such arrangement, but Qiao Zhen Tian insisted, telling her that her mother had already accepted the betrothal gifts and agreed to the marriage. Ye Yunshang rushed home to confront her mother, who confirmed having secretly accepted the Qiao family's dowry.
