My Destined Consort Episode 10 Recap
> My Destined Consort Recap
The child's condition was becoming increasingly critical, but thunder pills were considered a treasured heirloom of the Lu family. In order to obtain them, Shen Jiangli was willing to take great risks. Upon hearing that the Master of the Lu family had suffered a relapse of his chronic illness, Shen Jiangli decided to personally diagnose him. Lu Jingming understood how serious the matter was—the old illness of the Lu patriarch had been difficult even to manage, let alone cure.
Shen Jiangli reassured him, saying she had been studying the condition during this time and was about sixty percent confident in her ability to treat it. Members from both the main and second branches of the family were eager to display their loyalty before the patriarch, all hoping to personally serve by his bedside. At that moment, Shen Jiangli arrived and requested a chance to diagnose him.
Concubine Shu, fearing her daughter-in-law might make a mistake and bring trouble upon them, refused Shen Jiangli’s request outright. The main branch, however, was eager to see the second branch in trouble and deliberately spoke up in support of Shen Jiangli. Fortunately, the old patriarch was still somewhat lucid and allowed her to take his pulse. Shen Jiangli administered a calming incense of her own making, which alleviated the patient’s head pain.
She then performed acupuncture, which helped relax his body. The Lu patriarch was delighted and wanted to reward her. When Shen Jiangli requested thunder pills, he did not grant it, only bestowing her with some cloth and gold and silver trinkets. Since Shen Jiangli's medical skills couldn't secure the thunder pills, Lu Jingming's repeating crossbow became their best hope. In order to improve its accuracy as soon as possible, Lu Jingming stayed up several nights in a row without rest.
Finally, through everyone's tireless efforts, the precision of the repeating crossbow improved. Shen Jiangli and Lu Jingming were overjoyed and eagerly awaited the envoy's arrival in Dongzhou the next day to showcase their invention. The main branch remained vigilant. Upon hearing that the second branch had enhanced the accuracy of the crossbow, they secretly sent someone to sabotage the materials Lu Jingming had prepared. On the day of the demonstration, the damage to the crossbow caught Lu Jingming off guard.
Luckily, he had prepared an alternative weapon—a repeating crossbow capable of firing five arrows at once, with level-ten accuracy, operable by just three young boys. Lu Jingming presented the weapon to his father, and the envoys' expressions changed dramatically. With such a powerful weapon, Dongzhou’s military strength would no longer be underestimated. Lu Jingming successfully redeemed Dongzhou's reputation, greatly pleasing the Lu patriarch, who personally awarded him the thunder pills and named him the Commander of the Golden Scale Guard.
Lu Jingming rushed back excitedly to deliver the thunder pills to Shen Jiangli. After the child took the medicine, his condition improved, and he was once again lively and energetic before everyone. At that moment, the agreement between Shen Jiangli and Lu Jingming had been fulfilled. According to their original deal, Shen Jiangli was to take the child and leave for Dingfeng Pavilion. She had already written a letter to her brother and planned to depart the next day.
Lu Jingming had bought a delicate hairpin to gift his wife, hiding it in his sleeve. When he returned and saw Shen Jiangli packing, learning that they were leaving the Lu residence, he felt deeply sorrowful. But the agreement had already been made. How could he find a way to keep his wife and child by his side? Lu Jingming knew that he could no longer live without them.
