The Imperial Doctress
Episode 12

All the traditional herbal therapies and prescriptions are only intended for usage in this drama. Please do not test or imitate.

This time that the Empress Dowager agreed to retire,

aside from Abbess' efforts...

Qiyu, you helped a lot as well.

If you didn't find evidence in the Ministry of Works proving the Empress Dowager was illegally building a mausoleum,

those elder statesmen wouldn't be so afraid.

She's simply a step-empress who schemed her way to the top.

How dare her coffin be even more magnificent than Father.

Qiyu, this matter you handled very well.

I dare not take credit for it.

I can't tolerate the nonsensical actions of Duke Wang and the Empress Dowager.

After seeing the official bulletin that day, I just realized

The Empress Dowager caused a flood in the Yellow River due to selfish reasons,

which resulted in 7000 people drowning.

Also that day, when Duke Wang sought me to talk about important affairs

I found out

Duke Wang secretly pocketed 100 thousand silver coins through this disaster.

Yu Dongyang had also reported this matter to me.

I can also do nothing. This Duke Wang

has led the Ministry of Revenue for over a decade, and is known as the imperial purse.

It'll be easier to rock the sky than move him.

In the future, us two brothers will be even more busy.

Yes.

Your wish is my command.

It's alright. No need to be so respectful.

Actually, working against Duke Wang is quite simple.

Doesn't he have a daughter?

I heard Princess Wang Meilin wants to marry you.

She is pretty.

How about this, Qiyu

You just marry her. Then,

at the right time, you make the move

See if the old man is willing to listen then.

Imperial brother, even if Duke Wang is not a good person, but

I am indebted to Princess Anhe.

Brother, please be careful with your words.

I understand. I thought she wasn't your match, but now

I've changed my mind.

No.

I already have someone I like.

No wonder you had a panicked look.

Tell me who. Which household is she from? What is her character like?

Her attitude is really good.

Also kind and gentle. She's also saved my life in the past.

I have already talked to her about marriage.

Good, good. I will arrange your marriage immediately.

No, it's ok.

I think we should put politics first. I've already thought about it.

After Empress Dowager has returned all the political power,

I will ask you for an official marriage edict.

You're right.

Right now, you are Empress Dowager's person

Doesn't matter if it's Duke Wang or your mother,

If you want to marry another girl, they would not agree

Qiyu, I will give you an advice.

During the Lantern Festival, take your beloved to see the flower lanterns.

She'll be mesmerised by the bright lights,

She will gladly wait for you.

That's a good idea.

Then let us run two more rounds.

Ok!

On the day of the Lantern Festival, in the third quarter of the youhour (5pm - 7pm),

I will be waiting for you at Qinghe Bridge.

Miss Hang is skilled in medicine,

and has saved many epidemic victims. In recognition of her service to the court,

she will be granted the title of Xiangjun (noble lady).

Hang Gang has taught his daughter well, and is granted an extra hundred mou of land (approx. 666.6 sqm).

Mother, try this.

Father, daughter(herself) will also pour you a cup, wish you a

Since the King already approved your ability,

if I stop you from pursuing your dream,

I'm afraid you will be unhappy.

But, there's something you should remember

As a lady, needlework is the most important.

You will eventually marry in the future.

If you do not please him, then even if your medical skills are good,

and you won't please your in-laws.

Yes.

Alright, after such a long lecture the food's already getting cold.

Yunxian, quick, sit down.

Son, you should eat more too.

You still need to patrol the city later.

Mother, after this toast I must take off.

So early? The sky is not dark yet.

Leave a little later.

I should go.

I wanted to save face in front of my colleagues,

which is why I asked for the gruelling job of patrolling around the military forces bureau.

Mother, I wish you a long and healthy life.

My son has a caring heart. Let's drink.

Bring Master's sabre here.
(T/N: Sabre is a kind of sword)

Mother, from today onwards

Until the end of the first month, I will always have to leave at noon,

and return at dawn.

I will rely on you to take care of the household's duties.

Relax, leave everything to me.

Yuxian, when I am not here

You need to watch yourself.

I understand.

Mother, I am leaving now.

Grandmother, please sit.

Grandmother, since father already said I can learn medicine

I can officially start learning from you.

Not anymore.

I cannot teach you anymore

Why not? I...

Yunxian, don't be anxious

That day, I went to Yu Dongyang's manor to give New Year gifts.

By looking at your diagnosis and prescription given to the Second Madam,

and your skills in looking, listening, asking and feeling the pulse,

you've improved by leaps and bounds.

You also have your distinct style when giving prescriptions.

It seems it was beneficial for you to learn with Huimin Apothecary.

It wasn't a lie when they complimented your ever-improving skills.

Grandmother, because I learned from the other doctors

Are you not happy?

Of course not!

It's not that Grandma doesn't want to teach you.

It's because your ability,

has already exceed my own.

How's that possible?

But that's the truth!

Even though grandma came from a medical background,

but before, besides those in the palace,

I never helped anyone outside of the palace.

Right now, teaching you to this level, is the best of my abilities.

Look, this dance is well choreographed.

It's really good

Everyone look, fireworks.

Your Highness, please.

Wishing Your Majesty a happy new year.

Wishing Your Highness forever prosperous.

Look, isn't this fireworks from Her Highness's birthplace?

Prince Cheng, you are very thoughtful.

Thank you Your Highness.

Fireworks from Zouping is famous around the world.
All I did was bring it here.

You only know these things to make woman happy.
What else do you know?

If I can use them to make mother smile during the New Years,
that's my way of showing respect.

Your Majesty, you had too much to drink.

Yes, I did drink too much.

Today is New Year's Eve,
let's not talk about those unhappy things.

Yu'er, I remember you are already 22 this year.

Yes, after February I'll be 22.

It's time for you to have a family.

Otherwise Consort Wu always tells me

she's not in good health and no one is taking care of her.

I'm used to being by myself,

and I'm not ready to settle down yet.

Nonsense!

As a part of the Zhu family, birth and educate
the next generation is very important.

I know you are easily embarrassed, how's about this.

Today is a day of celebration for everyone,

I'll make the decision to have you marry Wang Meilin.

Mother you don't need to worry.

I have my own plans for Prince Cheng's marriage.

Your Majesty, this is a matter of the Inner Palace.
You don't need to interfere.

That's funny

I am the Son of Heaven, how is the
Inner Palace not my business?

Also,

Inner Palace matters are not decided by you Mother.

The person who has the authority

should be my Empress.

Mother, before the New Years His Majesty
already asked regarding Prince Cheng's fate.

Prince Cheng is not suitable for marriage this year.

So, His Majesty is doing what's best for Prince Cheng.

Such an important matter, why didn't you let
inform me earlier!

Is this how you act as the Empress?!

After all these years with the Emperor,
not only did you not birth a son

there was not one son being born in the entire Inner Palace.

If I were you, I would have been embarrassed to death.

Mother, Empress is virtuous,

why did you have to talk about this?

Also, Empress is only 24 this year.

When you were 24 did you birth a son?!

At that time, I was still a consort,

Empress Hu did not birth a son so your father abdicated her.

So you still remember you were not the Empress at that time.

Remember that time, when the Grand Empress was still alive,

If Empress Hu were to come to the palace for the festival,

at that time, Mother will be sitting down there.

You have such good memory.

But I also remember when there are
no sons born after several years

it's not all Empress' fault.

Should I summon Chen Shisan

to check your health?

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Stop! The Emperor is being absurd

do you guys also want to disobey the rules set by the retired Emperor?

Everyone sit back down! Stay there!

Raise your glasses.

Stop knocking! It's the New Years no place is open!

Here Mister

Hold on to it. Happy New Years.

Thank you Miss.

Here, here.

Have one more bun.

Thank you Miss.

It'll bring you luck. Here.

This is for you.

Have a good New Years.

Be careful it's hot.

And this bun, eat it while it's hot. Have a good year.

This is great. Here it's for you.

Why are you here?

Why? I can't be here?

You own this street?

You got into a fight with your family again?

It's fine, everything will work out.

You're butting into other people's business again.

How is this butting into other people's business?

Miss

Master Zheng

Old Madam is asking for you.

Ok, you go.

I'm fine now.

-Really?
-Really.

I'm going back home.

Let's go.

Grandma

What's taking so long?

There are a lot of people outside.

Here, your New Year's allowance.

-This is yours.
-Thanks Grandma.

Zi Su, this is yours.

Thanks Old Madam.

I'm getting older, I can't stay up late anymore.

I just waited for you to return, now I can go rest.

Go back and rest now.

Zi Su and I will go back to Xiulou.

Zi Su

Here

Hurry Miss

It's so cold.

Let's go.

What's wrong?

He still haven't left?

Zi Xu, hurry and go get some food.

Ok

I didn't eat very much of my New Year's dinner,

can you eat a little more with me?

I made this pancake myself.

You can't say it doesn't taste good.

I got this without tell anyone.

Even though it's not as famous as the other drinks you've had
but it's still good.

Master Zheng, cheers.

Hope you have a happy New Year and forever prosperity.

You're not thinking my drink is good enough for you are you?

Slow down, slow down.

Here.

Have a sip of the soup.

What's wrong? It doesn't taste good?

It's all cold.

Sorry, I didn't think it was going to get cold this quickly.

It must not taste good.

Who said it doesn't taste good?

My body is naturally hot so I like it cold.

What's wrong?

I twisted my foot.

Twisted? I'll rub it for you.

No! No! No! When it just twists, you can't rub it!

We're already so familiar with each other,
why are you being so shy?

Whose being shy with you?
Do you understand medicine or do I?

Go help me bring over a snow ball.

Here.

Let me tell you, when it first twists you need
to use ice to stop the inflammation.

You can't use heat, and especially can't
use hands to message!

And you practice swordsmanship,
how do you not know this?

Who knows this stuff?

Ok, your foot is injured, let me bring you home.

No! it's ok! i'll just walk funny for a few days.

And besides...

If I head back now, whose going to
spend New Years with you?

Who asked you to pretend to be good hearted?

Okay, you're not pitiful...I am, alright?

-Ah! Fireworks!
-Hey!

What are you doing? Do you want to twist it again?

I forgot...

I just want to see some fireworks...

Woah! What are you doing?!

How is it? From this high you can see clearly right?

Do you want to scare a person to death?

How beautiful~

Too bad it's so short.

I remember,

when i was 9 years old

my mom also brought me to see these types of fireworks.

That day's fireworks,

is just as pretty as today's.

I had asked my mother,

"mom, every year from now..."

"can I always go see fireworks?"

She said, "of course:"

And then...

...after the second year,

my mother was killed by my stepmom.

I had no idea at the time...

I called that bad woman

"mom" for well over a decade.

Under these celebratory times,

Who would remember that

it was during these merry times that

my mom left me.

Don't be too sad.

That step mom of yours is truly cruel.

God will surely punish her!

-Really?
-Really!

A good person will definitely be rewarded!

Look. Just because I helped diagnose men at Yongqing Convent,

my father almost forced me to become a nun.

But the Heavens are fair.

Suddenly, the Emperor granted me the title of Xiangjun (noble lady).

Now that's good

I don't need to marry anymore. My father-

What are you laughing at?

Nothing. I'm laughing because what you said is right.

Good person will get good results.

Even so, I still have to thank you.

Letting me go through an unforgettable new year.

OK. If you like it,

Then, from now on every year, I will be with you.

Really?
-Really.

Promise?
-Promise.

Do you want to go see the flower lanterns during the Lantern Festival?

Look, the fire crackers are being shot so high up in the sky!

Remember, you must go to the Wang's house on the Western Street to admire the trotting horse lamps.

Their's are the prettiest. I believe you'll like them.

Ok.

Her Highness the empress has arrived.

Greetings, Your Highness.

When did the Emperor arrive?

Early Morning.

It seems like he drank a lot of alcohol.

When he arrived, he quickly fell asleep.

Hang

Glutinous dumplings, glutinous dumplings, I must make a big one in celebration of the day.

Look at this, how is it?

Yunxian, look.

What are you thinking about?

I'm just thinking, since we've made so many glutinous dumplings,

How about giving some to godmother, later?

It's Ok. Your godmother

In the afternoon, she sent someone to give us glutinous dumplings.

Really.

Old Madam, tea is here.

When you get old, you aren't not useful anymore.

I can't even stay awake to eat the glutinous dumplings...

I'm sleepy already.

You have been tired for these two days.

- Have a good night's sleep.
- I will.

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry.
I already prepared your carriage.

Be quick! Don't let me work to death!

Wait. Wait. I was thinking why grandmother was
really sleepy already. It was because of you.

So it was you!
- I added three times the normal amount of albizia bark, spina date seed and cicada slough,

then used plum blossom to cover the smell.

Don't worry. She won't be awake within 6-8 hours.

How can you do that to her? Grandmother is
at such a old age now.

Don't worry, my lady.

I've been with you for so long,
you think I can't manage a simple prescription?

But I was scared that I did something wrong.

So I repeatedly tested this on Linglong and Guizhi.

I am sure that there's no problem with it.

Hurry, get on.

Take care about you safety. Go early and arrive early.
Be careful.

Hurry to Qiantou River please

Your Highness, come.

Let me toast you again.

Melin, why don't you toast Prince Cheng.

Everyone, it's getting late.

I really need to get back.

Your highness, there's no rush. My servants already went to Zhu Manor

Now, Consort Dowager and Empress Dowager

will be celebrating the festivals in the palace. So you don't need to worry about drinking.

Lord Duke, I really don't drink liquor.

Why don't I go and change my clothes first.

As you please

Come. Both of you

don't let go of your wine.

Stop fooling around!

It's ok. It's ok. Is it fun?

Be careful and try not to get your clothes burnt.

It's fine.

Look at that lantern, Its so pretty.

Ok. Let's go over there and take a look. Let's go.

We agreed to meet on third quarter of the you hour (5pm-7pm)

But now its almost half of the xu hour. (7pm-9pm)

The Wang's trotting horse lamps are beautiful.

Really?, Let's go see it.
-Ok. Let's go.

Remember. Go to Wang's house in the West Street and look at the trotting horse lamps.

That house is the prettiest. I believe you will like it.

–Your Highness.
–Xiao Ma'zi.

–Hurry and bring my horse.
-Yes.

Your Highness!

Where are you going?

Home.

But..backyard's lanterns are already lit.

How about we can go together and-

I really have something urgent that I have to leave.

I already asked someone else to look at the lanterns.

What?

But Aunt already said we can...

I always see you as a lifesaver.

If there was somewhere that you misunderstand before,

I apologize.

Where did this fairy come from?

Come have a drink with me!

I recognize her! She's the living Bodhisattva!

Living Bodhisattva, don't go!

Don't go! Give me a kiss!

Leave!

good beating!

Didn't I tell you to go look at the trotting horse lamps? What took you so long?

Did you care about other people's business again?

I didn't care about other's business?
Still saying didn't care about other people's business.

I'm assuming you are caring about other people's business.

I-
Yeah.

How can this lady be so lucky?

That's right. Her husband is a hero.

-No way. Its too amazing.
-Yeah

-Where are you going?
-Let go of me.

Why are you being strange? I just save your life.

Can't you at least give me a face.

Ok. Sir Zheng, Hero Zheng

You are wise and brave and martial arts is great. You saved this girl from untold miseries.

This girl would like to thank you. Is that okay?

I like hearing that.

There are decorative lanterns there. Let's go look at them. Okay?

It's ok, I-
-Stop saying no.

If you still don't see it, then the lanterns are gone. Let's go.

I don't want to go.

Guess the lantern riddles to get a prize.

Boss,

I want to try guessing those lantern riddles.

It really is a big gold ingot.

Ok. Ok. Ok.

"The peacock closes its train." Guess the name of a historical figure.

The peacock closes its train."

Isn't this Guanyu? Stupid.
T/N: 'guan'=close, 'yu' = feathers

That's right. It's Guanyu. You're the stupid one.

“Half cultivating and half reading." Isn't that just a well?

"Hitting the side drum."

That's just beating around the bush.

Why isn't there any difficult ones?

Come look!

It's your profession. Have a guess.

"The mother worries about the son travelling a thousand li."

I know this.

It's jequirity.

- Jequirity?
- Jequirity?

- Miss, why?
- How did you know that?

Stop it. It's just thinking about someone until you die.

Name of a herb. Nothing to be surprised about.

Right. Right. What you said is correct.

Zheng Qi.

Do you think being together here isn't too appropriate?

Not too appropriate?

So what if its appropriate or not?

You...

Mister, it's a total of 28.

Little lady, you guessed so much.

If you take all the prizes now,

this stall will look bad.

How about this way.

You first go around a bit

When you come back, I'll definitely give you cash.

That's fine. Who wants those junk playthings? Just give us the most expensive one.

Okay, okay.

Mister, look at this Jade bracelet.

It's made from pink jade.

Pink gold was used for the pattern of a dragon and phoenix, signifying good fortune.

This matches your wife the best.

I'm not...

This is a good one.

I like it. That's it.

Okay, okay. Take care, Sir.

Time passes quickly when you're in a pleasant surrounding.

I can just accompany you here again next year.

We can talk about that later.

-I'll take you home.
-It's okay.

I am waiting for someone.

This late? Who are you waiting for?

Zi su.

She is waiting for me, over there.

I will send you there.

I will send you back.

It's ok. It's ok. I will go back myself.

How about this?

You will walk from the in front of me and I will walk behind you. This is ok now right?

No need. No need. I can do it myself.

It's really late, hurry up and go home.

Why are you so annoying? You don't want this way
or another way.

This is for you. You can wear it for fun.

I can't accept this. You should just keep it.

I tell you to take it, then take it.

I really can't take this,

People said that this is for your wife. Many people will
misunderstand if I take it.

So what if they misunderstand?

Don't think that I send you this ugly bracelet because
I'm interested in you

I already have a wife.

I don't need to bring it with me and arouse suspicions.
