The Imperial DoctressEpisode 38

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

Your majesty, it's time to eat.

They said we work too slow,

so they only gave this little food.

That guard was indebted to Yunxian.

He was always good to us.

But today he's like this all of a sudden is probably because of Ye Xian's order.

So Yunxian can admit she cannot endure the hardship so he can force her to go back.

This Ye Xian is so shady.

But Your Majesty, don't worry.

Even if we all have to eat a few bites less, we'll save enough food for Physician Hang.

That's not necessary.

Lisan, sit down.

I wouldn't dare.

No such thing, I'm telling you to sit so sit.

Yes.

Let's do this, Yuxian doesn't eat much.

Give her mine.

It's just we need to save even more on these food in the future.

Lisan, how much more food do we have saved up?

Your majesty, it's only enough for five more days.

Continue to save.

It's just this weather is getting colder so it will be more difficult.

How about starting from tomorrow, change our routine.

Everyday eat three times less.

I understand.

I will go tell everyone right now, they will also understand.

Where we saved the food, is it still safe?

Your majesty, don't worry.

Every time, I secretly bring some there whenever I transport the gold dusts.

It's definitely safe.

Right now, Yuxian is here with us.

So there's less trouble.

Let's a wait a bit, I predict Ye Xian's patience will not last longer than 30 days.

At that time, doesn't matter if we have enough food,

we must escape.

Your Majesty, I have already prepared guns and knives.

At that time, even if half of us will die here, the other half must escape back to the capital.

It's all my fault.

It's my fault that things turned out this way.

Your Majesty, you must not think this way.

There's a common saying that lose or win is ordinary for the military.

Your Majesty, what's important right now is take care of your body.

Even if we were to escape, we will need energy.

I belive, Your Majesty will definitely lead us escape back to the capital.

Li san, believe me.

I will definitely think of a way

to take you guys back to the capital.

It's snowing. It's snowing.

Never thought that snow also starts falling in Oirat during the twelfth lunar month.

It's similar to the capital.

Do you still remember last year's New Year Eve?

Right now work hard, after you start sweating you won't be cold.

Hurry

A few days I went to look for some herbal medicine, hoping to sell them to the people live around here.

But..

Hurry

No one will come.

Ye Xian gave a strict order, other than guards no one is allowed to come here.

Previously, Buoyantiemu'er wanted to give me some stuffs thru Ji Ka but were all blocked.

It's all my fault, making everyone suffer.

What are you talking about? We are one.

No one else cares, why do you care?

That's right, Physician Hang, not just other people.

This time, even that Hou guang, who's always against you, did not even say anything.

That guy is smart, knows a few sentences of Oirat.

Last time, he heard someone talk bad about you, he immediately tried to fight that person.

Don't worry, good thing Ji Kan stopped him.

Nothing happened.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty.

There's information about Official Hang!

Where is she? Is she still alive?

Official Hang is perfectly fine.

Those merchants who went to Oirat said Official Hang is fine, not injured.

Also, she's dressed warm and ate well.

That's great!

She was taken as battle hostage.

How would battle hostages dress warm and eat well?

Maybe...

Maybe she's skilled as a physician.

Oh I see.

Yunxian is lucky. Doesn't matter where she goes, she can survive on her skill.

Xiao Mazi.

Hurry and have people secretly get in touch with Ye Xian's sister.

See if there's any way to get Yunxian back.

If the Oirat people doesn't know her real identity, maybe that's possible.

But what if that doesn't work?

Go and find Cao Jixiang.

You tell him, as long as he can help me get Yunxian back.

I will make him the eunuch lead.

Yes Your Majesty.

I already followed your order and reported this to His Majesty.

Thank you.

This has to do with Yunxian's reputation.

Really cannot let His Majesty find out.

Yes I understand. Official Hang is such a great person.

I also do not want her reputation tarnished.

As long as people from Eastern Depot can rescue her, everything will be great.

It's just... why does she have such a hard life.

Right now, Hang Gang and his mom still don't know.

If they find out about

Ye Xian and Yunxian,

a woman's life is really hard.

Didn't I say

that I don't want anyone bothering me during the day?

I can't see you at night either.

This is Dendrobe Black Chicken Ginseng soup I cooked the whole day for you.

It's best to supplement one's Yang energy.

Just drink some.

Dendrobium?

Be quiet! Give me the healing herb!

As long as Your Majesty likes it then that's good. This is something I got from the Tranquility Medicinal Recipes.

I followed Little Sister Hang's recipe in doing it.

I'm sure it's the best.

You are reading her book too?!

Does Your Majesty really think that me and Little Sister Hang are enemies?

Bi Cao has already admitted

that she took money from others and used my name to harm Little Sister Hang and her family.

But until now...Your Majesty still thinks...

Enough...let's not talk about this anymore.

How Your Majesty thinks

do you I don't know?

Even though I'm jealous that Little Sister Hang got your heart,

but I never...

Empress...

Your Lady Highness Empress...

Hurry! Call the Imperial Physician!

Congratulations Your Majesty, Your Lady Highness, and Empress Dowager!

Your Lady Highness is already 3 months pregnant.

It's just that it's too early. She still needs to rest.

Reward...

Our Ming dynasty finally has good news.

Cheng Chuen Xia, starting today, you are the Medicine Bureau's Supervisor.

Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager!

Mei Lin, this is great.

You must bear a crown prince.

Emperor, you must take good care of Mei Lin.

You must not allow her to get a little suffering. Get it?

Your Majesty

Inside this womb is our child.

Originally, that night, I thought that we will die within the capital.

Enough already.

Stop saying unlucky things.

I swear by the child in my womb

that I never did anything to harm Little Sister Hang.

I...believe you.

Your Majesty, can we live our lives well from now on.

I guarantee I won't get jealous, guarantee to be a mother to the world.

Even if...

Even if you are still to marry a lot more consorts.

Enough already.

I already have you and the child. The two of you is enough.

Right now, I'm busy with official matters. I don't have time for those.

Your Lady Highness Empress is pregnant! Everyone is spared!

Your Lady Highness Empress is just pregnant and the Emperor and Empress Dowager spared everyone?

Previously, they again blocked the reports requesting to attack the Oirat.

Based on these, I fear for the future of the Crown Prince...

Lady Highness

Minister Yu, the person that I can depend now

is only you.

Lady Highness, please rise...

I can't bear this.

Minister Yu, hug the Crown Prince...

Look at the Crown Prince.

He looks so much like his father.

Minister Yu, when he ascended the throne he promised

that our Jian Shen is the Crown Prince.

Your Lady Highness, don't worry. When Your Majesty ascended the throne,

he swore in front of the Heavens and all the ministers

that he won't betray faith and justice and make his own child as the Crown Prince.

If such thing really happens, I will risk my life

for the Crown Prince

to get justice.

Thank you.

Take good care of Lady Highness.

If you need anything, directly ask from me.

Try hard to make Lady Highness not worried.

Thank you, Minister Yu.

There's something wrong with Her Lady's eyes.

I can see that her movement is not that smooth.

Her Lady Highness was always crying, waiting for the retired Emperor to return.

Kneeling in front of Guan Yin Buddha. If she can't kneel anymore, she will lie sideways.

As time passes,

her eyes slowly can't take it anymore.

Even one of her leg...

Then why don't you hurry and call the Imperial Physician.

One is that the Medicine Bureau doesn't really care about us.

Second is...

Second is Her Lady Highness is always suspicious that the Emperor will harm her and the Crown Prince.

She wouldn't allow anyone to get near her.

That's why, only me and a servant maid who originally came from Changshou Hall

tries to treat her haphazardly.

Good thing that you guys were taught by Yunxian.

Master, she...how is she doing?

Hasn't the Emperor saved her yet?

The Retired Emperor isn't even back yet. How can it be easy for her to come back?

Grand Preceptor, the snow is really thick now.

The wind is strong, the weather is cold. Even the men cannot take it.

How can a woman?

There's also no food.

She's still unwilling to show weakness right now?

She told me previously that she and Zhu Qiyu have completely severed ties.

I didn't believe her then. But looks like it's really true.

Looking how her character is so stubborn, what thing can she not do?

Grand Preceptor, when do we get her back?

Let's wait for now.

Didn't you used to not like her?

What now? Even you have softened up?

This...how can that be?

Grand Preceptor, I heard that she has lost a lot of weight recently.

Let's just talk about this again after the 100 Moon Festival.

Yes.

Shit! There's not even grains there. You're hungrier the more you drink it.

Don't talk too much. Conserve energy.

- How many logs do we have left? - We only have enough until tonight.

Too bad the guards are guarding too tightly.

If not, we could go to where we are hiding the grains and get some.

Let's just put out the fire. Everyone, try to get closer so we can save more.

Doctor Hang...

Doctor Hang, what's wrong?

I think you're too hungry already.

Why didn't you drink some more porridge this morning?

I'm fine.

I still have two pieces of meat here.

How about --

No need. I'm not hungry. I'm just a little tired.

And also, women usually eat less.

Your Majesty, how about you eat some instead.

You must not get sick from hunger.

- That's right.- Are you joking? Who do you think I am?

My soldiers are hungry and I eat meat by myself?

Then what does that make me?

When there's blessings, share them. When there's hardships, go through it together. How are these words written,

have you all forgotten?

Li San, don't hide them.

Tie that dry meat in the middle of the tent and let everyone see it.

Remember that this meat is for everyone.

If there's anyone who wants to eat it, then everyone must agree first.

Now that everyone hasn't eaten, then I will definitely not eat too.

This meat, right now, is not allowed to be eaten by anyone.

Zhou Qiang, come and dig for wild vegetables with me.

- Okay.- I don't believe that big guys like us

will die from hunger.

Right...

Don't go. The wind and snow outside is very strong.

What's there to be afraid. Dying from freezing is better than dying from hunger.

Brother San, let's go.

- That' right.- Let's go.

Careful.

Hang this.

Okay.

What is it?

Nothing. I just remembered a story.

In ancient times, there's Cao Cao who asked his men to look at plums to relieve their thirst. What's yours called?

Your Majesty, what's looking at plums to relieve ones thirst?

Right...what does that mean?

Your Majesty, why don't you tell everyone a story.

Okay...Story...

Okay then.

Given a rare chance like this, let me tell you guys a story.

Okay...

During the Three Kingdoms,

there's a warlord, because during the battle

there were no water. All the soldiers were so thirsty so what must he do?

Hence, he rode on his horse...

Sh*t!

This damn place doesn't even grow weeds!

Exactly! What do we do?

Let's find a carriage and steal a horse to eat.

We can't! We'll be found out!

With such a storm even getting lost is normal!

We just need to be clean with it!

Third Brother; wait for me. I'll go over to look.

Be careful!

Your Majesty!

What is it?

What is it?

The guards left. They even took the horses.

I've checked. There is no one there.

They might have feared that the storm was too strong and gone home to their families.

Yes.

Isn't it better that there are no people? We can escape now!

Right now?

Your Majesty, the storm is too strong. Furthermore, we don't have enough supplies.

If the storm is big, then there are fewer troops.

Get some people to carry the tents and the firewood. Also bring bowls and salt.

We'll walk as far as we can.

If that doesn't suffice, ther is still game to hunt.

Your Majesty, you really want to leave tonight?

Yes. We must.

Even though the storm is great, all of us have suffered.

I can endure it.

I believe you all can endure it as well.

Yes! We can.

Yunxian, can you endure it?

It will snow for at least one more day.

As long as we can hunt before sunrise, we can continue walking southward.

After the snow stops, we would have walked about 100 meters away.

At that point, it would be difficult for the Oirots to find us.

Your Majesty, with this kind of storm, what if we go off course?

No need to fear; I have this.

What is that?

When I was curing tinnitus for General Boyan's wife, I intentionally asked for this medicine.

I've waited until today to use it.

That's great.

Where's our knife?

Right here!

Take it out. Be careful.

This way is southeast; we'll head this way.

That way is Beijing.

Okay!

Before when I heard that Zhao Feiyan was blown away by the wind, I thought it was just a myth.T/N: An Empress from the Han Dynasty, rumoured to have been so slender she could have been blown away.

Now I saw it for real.

What did you say?

I said when we get back, I will make you more plump.

Everyone, hurry up! Hold onto the rope!

Nobody can be left behind!

Your Highness! We have to take a break!

Walking in the night, we have to take breaks in between.

We've already walk for most of the night. We have to take a break!

If we keep going, people can die!

OK! We will do as you say!

Let's croud together and find a place to stay!

After three hours, we can continue.

Here's a cave.

We are almost out of firewood, what should we do?

Don't worry, tomorrow after daybreak, we'll be able to cut some trees.

What are you doing?

I'm holding you so you can be warmer.

No, it's okay. I'm fine.

How come you're so cold to me?

No, I'm not.

Rest early, we still have a long to go tomorrow.

♫ The smile she gave after receiving the flower, made me forget the nervousness of plucking it ♫

♫ The street filled with lights and fireworks.Who am I yearning for? ♫

♫ The hem of the dress dances among the smoke, the smell of medicine remains on your finger tips ♫

♫ As you bow your head, your feelings are hidden from me ♫

♫ One year, and another, I still remember that day ♫

♫ The snow under the eaves was very sweet ♫

Keep yourself awake.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, bad news!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

What's the matter?

There's a bunch of wolves outside.

Many of our men have been bitten.

The wolf is afraid of fire. Make some torches!

The two of you stay here. Yunxian, take care of them.

The rest of you come with me! Torch!

Let's go!

-Let's go!-Let's go!

Be careful!

Don't let it bite your neck. Attack!

Brothers, let's go!

Go!

Give me weapons!

Your Majesty! Here you go!

Your Majesty, please let us go with you.

Your Majesty, it's too dangerous!

You guys stay here.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Physician Hang!

Physician Hang!

Your Majesty!

Yes!

Yes!

Qian jiejie, don't you worry now.

The emperor that was fickle and easily angered no longer exist.

When we go back, you will only see the greatest warrior of our Ming dynasty.

The most brilliant Emperor!

Meng Duo!

Yes！

You can't even keep an eye on people!

Where is Yunxian? Where is Zhu Qizhen?

-Great Preceptor. please listen to me.- I am asking where they are!

It's snowy. They all ran away.

Hurry to chase them!

Yes. Follow me!

-Yes,sir.-Hurry up.

Such heavy snow,what if any bad thing happen to them?

It's all your fault! Why must you drive Yunxian jiejie away?

I am doing for her goodness.

She is so stubborn.

If I didn't teach her a lesson now,

I am afraid she can hardly stay on grassland during her whole life.

Moreover, the royal court has been unsatisfied with her for long time.

If Meng Duo didn't cover for her,catching so many people,

how could she live till now.

But it still doesn't work.

I thought compared with keeping her besides me as a target of public criticism,

it will be safer to let her be with her own crews.

Then why didn't you tell me that earlier?

If anything happens to Yunxian jiejie, how regretful you will be!

I was thinking that, when she regrets it,

I will let her come back.

But I didn't expect that...

Stop for a second. Let's rest for a while before we keep moving on.

How is he?

Not good.

They were struggling the whole way. Their wounds have opened.

How far can they still move?

At most ten miles.

Okay, you go with them first.

I will stay here with them.

How can that be? We must go together.

They're wounded, we could let others carry them.

That's not possible.

Those Oirats will discover very soon that

We are not at the Taojin River.

If they ride horses, they will catch up to us in one day.

I'm the Emperor. They want me.

Once they catch me, they won't chase other people.

Your Majesty! No, you must go!

I will stay here to back up. We won't be a burden of others.

-That's right! Your Majesty, we should go together!-Together!

We should go together, Your Majesty!

-Let's go together, Your Majesty!-All of you, stop talking!

I've already decided.

After we had a terrible loss in the Tumu Fortress,

I swore in my heart,

that I won't lose another Ming soldier!

I am the Emperor. I have the responsibility to protect your lives.

So you have to listen to Zhou Qiang's order, walk eighty miles each day.

Once you get to DaTong, you'll be safe.

Your Majesty! That won't do, Your Majesty!

We have to go together!

-Yes! We have to go together!-Stop talking!

If we all die together, who will be able to send a letter to my Empress?

Who will be able to tell what happened in the Oirat Clan to my brother?

You think I would die if I stay?

I tell you! I won't!

Yexian wanted to kill me, and he was struck by lightning!

Isn't that correct?

I want you to go.

Because I want you guys to go home,

And come back for me in glory!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, we've said before,

We are the Great Ming's soldiers, whether alive or dead!

If we just leave here, then what are we?

-Your Majesty!-Zhou Qiang!

-Your Majesty.-Kneel down!

Since you are the Great Ming's soldier,

You should obey my order.

The Heaven passed down its order for the Emperor to announce,

Zhou Qiang, I order you, take those who can still walk.

Walk eighty miles a day, and reach DaTong in fifteen days.

Those who doesn't obey... will be killed!

Your Majesty, we won't go!

We won't go, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, please kill me!

Even if you kill me,

I still won't go!

-You!-We won't go too! We'll stay with you!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! We won't go, Your Majesty!

We must go together! Yes!

-Your Majesty!-That's enough!

The Emperor has given his order.

You should obey his order!

Even if we are in a barren mountain, the Emperor's words are still the imperial edict!

Obey his words and go.

Only when you reach DaTong and find the guards will you be able to save His Majesty.

The further you delay, the more people will die.

Your Majesty!

I...obey your order!

Zhou Qiang!

Are you all deaf?!

Obey His Majesty's order with me!

Obey your order!

Obey your order!

All of you, go.

I don't want to see you.

Go!

Your Majesty...

All of you, go!

Your Majesty, please take care of yourself.

Why aren't you going?

Didn't you say that...we'll live and die together?

Your Majesty!

-You guys!-We didn't stay because of you.

Sir Li is our leader.

You've said before, when fighting on a battle field, we don't have to obey the Emperor's order!

Our Emperor will live for ten thousand years!

Ten thousand years!

Our Emperor will live for ten thousand years!

Did you find them?

Sir, I followed the eagle's directions,

And I did discover some footprints.

Let's go!

Your Majesty, they are here!

Let's go! Leave the things here!

Go into the forest!

Run as far as you can. Make them believe that there are lots of us.

Run! Quickly, carry them!

Quickly!

Here.

Let's go.

Yunxian!

We'll rest here for a while.

Brothers,

I thank you guys for going through life and death with me!

Are you alright?
