To's Mansion.

Look, it goes so fast.

Right. Come on. One more round.

OK.

Hey, Wai-Shan. You're home?

Pak-hop, this new wheelchair...

It was delivered this morning.

You made a good choice. It's
so comfortable to sit in it.

It's even so easy to handle.
I don't need to push that hard.

With this new wheelchair,
it'll be convenient to go out.

Come on. Over there.

OK.

Tai Pak Restaurant.

Dr To, the wheelchair is nothing
at all. It's just a small gift.

It's really too expensive.

I don't like owing people.

You healed my wife. But you
refused to charge me any fees.

Now I know your wife can't walk.

The wheelchair is a
token of my gratitude, OK?

Thank you.

Come on. Cheers. The
food's getting cold...

Dr To, I was told that

the Leung Tsai Tsan Clinic you work
in now is run by your father-in-law.

Yes.

Would you like a change?

You mean...

I'll be direct. I'm
training a new troop now.

It will be an elite troop
for our country in due course.

I really admire your medical knowledge.

I hope you will come to Tianjin
and work in my troop as a medic.

Then I won't need to worry
about my troop anymore.

Thank you for your compliment.

Unfortunately, my wife can't
walk. I need to take care of her.

OK.

Besides, I grew up here. I
really don't want to leave.

Thank you for your offer though.

A gifted person needs
a discerning headhunter.

You're a talent. You
should be doing big things.

Why bother being a consulting
physician in a clinic?

Actually I don't have any ambitions.

I'm content just being a doctor who
can save lives and heal patients.

OK. I won't force you to do
anything you don't want to do.

But if you change your mind later,

my door is always open for you, OK?

Free gifts.

Father Taylor, you're
really kind-hearted.

You treat people and
give them free medicine

You're even giving poor people food today.

You're even kinder, Dr To. You
often come to give me a hand.

I really want to thank
you on behalf of the poor.

Please don't mention it.

You're always lending me
books on Western medicine.

They're really eye-opening for
me. I must thank you for that.

You taught me the principle of
looking, smelling, asking and feeling.

Actually I've learned a lot.

I can share discuss both Chinese
and Western medicine with you.

It's very helpful to my practice.

By the way, a good friend has
been coughing badly recently.

Even cough syrup can't help.

Do you mind doing a checkup for
him and giving him some advice?

This is Dr To whom I
mentioned last time. This is...

My last name is Li.

Hello, Mr Li.

Hello.

Mr Li, apart from coughing,
do you have a fever too?

I also...

When he coughs badly, he gets a fever.

So I've been prescribing
him fever medicine.

Why don't I get you a
glass of water, Mr Li.

Thank you.

Would you like it cold or hot?

Why don't you pick one? Here,
this is cold and that is hot.

Mr Li, do you know there's coughing
due to heat and coughing due to chills?

The two types are very different.

If the wrong medicine is prescribed,
it will make the condition worse.

Dr To, how can you tell whether
my cough is due to heat or chills?

I did an experiment just now.

I asked whether you wanted
the water cold or hot.

It's like your body has sent a message
to you that it's very hot inside.

You really wanted to have some cold water.

We call this condition
heat that looks like chills.

It seems I've learned something today.

Dr To, how can I be cured?

We need to use the right
medicine for the right illness.

I just need to find out
the cause of your illness.

I'll write you a prescription later.

I can assure you that you'll get
well after you take the medicine.

Thank you, Dr To.

You're welcome.

Very useful revival pills. Come
take a look. They're really useful...

For today's performance, we
will break a stone on the chest.

Of course Chuen Yan Clinic can

Get ready to fix the bones... Bandage.

There you go.

I promise he will in less than ten days.

Be careful or he might run away.

OK. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Wong, good boy...

Bye.

Take care...

Grandma, Aunt Chu, look.
We finally got a patient.

Chuen Yan Clinic reopened today.
Our only patient was a dog.

No one came. I can't
believe you can still smile.

Was the stone not thick enough
in Kan's performance this morning?

So people weren't interested?

What does that have to do with Kan?

No one tripped and got hurt.
Who would come for treatment?

Mom, it's wicked to wish
for someone to get hurt.

How wicked is that?

Kindness won't feed us.

There's a patient.

Sir, what can we do for
you? Your neck looks stiff.

You're wise to come to Chuen Yan Clinic

for treatment. It's
our grand opening today.

I'll give you a 20 percent discount.

Of course you'd want
a 20 percent discount.

I want to collect the full amount.

Look. This is the invoice. Pay up now.

Ginseng, deer antler and bird's nest?
When did we buy such expensive things?

Tung Tit-kwat bought them from me
earlier. He hasn't paid for them yet.

That jerk bought from you.
Why are you asking us to pay?

Look carefully.

Tung Tit-kwat bought them
under Chuen Yan Clinic's name.

Your stamp is on it. Who
else should I ask to pay?

Kot Kan, have you seen those things?

I'm sure that jerk has
stolen the medicinal materials

after he ordered them
in the clinic's name.

Right. We've cut all ties with that jerk.

He bought from you. We didn't.

I don't care what your
dealings with Tung Tit-kwat are.

Chuen Yan Clinic's name is on
the invoice. So you have to pay.

If you refuse to pay, fine.
I'll take this to court.

What?

Ling, now what?

You've suddenly come to collect.

We just reopened today. How would
we have so much money to pay you?

Don't say I'm mean. I'll give
you guys a couple more days.

If you still won't pay
then, I'll take legal action.

Oh, no. We've been opened all day.
But our only patient was a dog.

How will we make enough money to pay?

I have an idea.

What?

Hit him...

Kan, do you really want to do
this? You should reconsider this.

That Russian Hercules is
so much taller than you.

You could easily kill you.

Hit him...

Don't worry. I don't need to defeat him.

I just need to stay in
the ring for three minutes.

Mentor taught me kung fu
for years. I can manage.

Anyone?

It's decided.

Hit him...

Kan... get up...

Get up...

Kan...

Hit him...

Hit him...

Stop. Kan, how are you?

Is he dead?

Carry him off. Don't
let him die in the ring.

People from Chuen Yan Clinic
won't die so easily. Come on, Kan.

Take a revival pill. Come
on. Kan, hang in there... Kan.

Miss Ling, I feel much better now.

OK...

I can hang in there.

Chuen Yan Clinic.

Why were you boxing?

Now you're seriously
injured. Are you happy now?

You achieved nothing at
all. You even got hurt.

Kan just wanted to help us pay.
Don't reprimand him, Aunt Chu.

If we can't pay, will
we have to close down?

Just close down?

If you guys don't pay up today,
you'll have to go to jail.

Boss, give us a few more
days please. We really...

Don't pretend to be pitiful.

Anyway if you don't pay up today,
you'll have to go to court with me.

They're really here.

What do you guys want?

I came to settle the score with you.

What?

Sorry. Zunikov's Chinese is not that good.

We're here to discuss a
business deal with you guys.

A business deal?

Yes. In the ring his morning, we
saw how amazing your revival pill is.

We told our counselor. He's
really interested in it.

He told us to buy up
large quantities from you.

We're going to be rich.

Thank the counselor for
his interest in our pills.

We want to do business with you.

But this boss here wants to
close us down and send us to jail.

Right.

Don't be silly. I was kidding just now.

Actually I came to Chuen Yan Clinic

to explore the possibility of producing
the revival pills with you guys.

Really? But we haven't
paid for the purchases yet.

You can do that later. We
should make money together first.

When there's profit in the future,

you can use that to set
off the purchase price.

Come on. Let's go to a restaurant
and discuss our money-making plan.

Come on...

Li Hongzhang.

So you're the famous Premier Li.
I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.

It's fine.

After you did a checkup for me, I
took the medicine you prescribed.

And I really got better. You're
really well-versed in medicine.

Thank you for your compliment, sir. I
just told you what's in the textbooks.

You're being modest.

Your diagnosis is so accurate.
Ordinary doctors are no match for you.

This meal is to thank you
for curing me. Please enjoy.

Thank you.

I asked you to come today
to thank you for curing me.

I also have a request.

I hope you can squeeze some
time to treat a noble person.

I'm sorry. I'm not good at socializing.

I'm not particularly keen on
treating rich and noble people.

If I had known that you're Premier Li,

I really wouldn't have said so much.

Thank you for your offer, sir.

Dr To, the illness of this
noble person is quite odd.

You could even call it a strange disease.

I'm sure you'll find it of interest

once you hear the symptoms of
this noble person's illness.

Summer Palace.

Please forgive me for not
telling you the details.

Once we get there, you will
know who that noble person is.

Premier.

Dr To.

Joy and Longevity Hall.

Dr To, please.

The noble person with this strange
disease is the Empress Dowager.

It started about half a month ago.

When she woke up one morning,

she found some inexplicable
bruises on her arms and wrists.

The imperial doctors from the
Imperial Hospital confirmed that

there was minor bruising
on her arms and legs.

Her condition wasn't serious.

There was nothing wrong
with her pulse either.

According to the two supervisors

Li Lianying and Cui Yugui
who serve Her Royal Highness,

she slept through the night till
morning. Nothing strange happened.

So the Imperial Hospital concluded that

Her Royal Highness might have
bruised herself by accident

when she turned in her sleep

But a few days later, the
strange thing happened again.

There were again inexplicable
bruises on her limbs.

What's most odd is that many
different kinds of medicine were tried.

But shortly thereafter, there were

bruises on Her Royal
Highness's limbs again.

Even the imperial doctors
couldn't figure out the cause.

Dr To, what's wrong
with Her Royal Highness?

Your Royal Highness, apart
from the bruises on your limbs,

are there similar injuries
on other parts of your body?

Yes. There are bruises on her soles too.

Premier Li highly
recommended you to me, Dr To.

He said you're well-versed in medicine.

How do you explain this strange disease?

Your Royal Highness,

do you sleep through
the night till morning?

Of course I do.

Wouldn't I know if I woke up
in the middle of the night?

That's right. What's wrong
with Her Royal Highness?

Longevity.

Actually the bruises on
Your Royal Highness's body

are just ordinary bruises.

You just need to apply some
medicinal ointment on them.

And they'll go away.

How is your diagnosis different from
that of the imperial doctors then?

But that will only cure the symptoms.

To deal with the root cause,

you need to get rid of the
wicked qi in your bedroom.

Because your disease is caused
by the intrusion of wicked qi.

How dare you, To Chung!

You're talking nonsense in
front of Her Royal Highness!

Relax, Li.

Yes.

Dr To, why do you say that?

Your Royal Highness,

there have been numerous wars and
battles since Qing was founded.

The casualties were heavy.
Therefore grievances accumulated.

In the end, they turned into
wicked qi and intruded on your body.

To deal with the root cause,

you need to ask a senior monk to
perform a ritual in Summer Palace

for seven days straight.

And Your Royal Highness must
take the medicine I prescribe

for seven days too.

Then you will get better.

I didn't know you believed
in supernatural powers.

Since Her Royal Highness
suffers from a strange disease,

of course she needs
extraordinary treatment.

Since Her Royal Highness
already gave the order,

I shouldn't make any comments.

I will make arrangements for
you to stay in Summer Palace.

I will also send someone to
inform your family members.

Thank you, sir.

OK.

Commissioner, are we really going
to let that To guy fool around here?

The Empress Dowager's listening
to him. Am I supposed to object?

If that To guy makes a mistake,
he'll be executed anyway.

There's no need for us
to play the bad guys.

Yam Sik-kang, from today on,
keep a close eye on this To guy.

If there's a problem,
report to us immediately.

Yes, Commissioner.

Longevity Pharmacy.

Longevity Pharmacy is under
the Imperial Household Office.

The medicine is prepared here. There
are strict rules in the pharmacy.

After the prescription is written,

the imperial doctor and the
grand eunuch must sign off on it.

Then they will supervise the
preparation of the medicine together.

When the medicine is ready,

they will taste some first to
make sure there are no problems.

Only then can the medicine be used.

Dr To, forgive me for asking.

The medicine you prescribed
just now appears to be...

You are...?

My name is Yam Sik-kang.

I'm an imperial doctor
in the Imperial Hospital.

Hello, Dr Yam.

You must think the medicine I
prescribed just now really commonplace.

I was just curious. Please forgive me.

It's fine.

Actually I just prescribed some
medicine to get rid of the bruises

and calm Her Royal Highness down.

Of course it's commonplace.

The key is in the exorcism
ritual in the next seven days.

Exorcism ritual? Dr To, are you serious?

Princess Wojia, Miss Youlan.

Dr To, this is Princess
Wojia of Prince Qing's family.

This is Officer Rong
Lu's daughter Miss Youlan.

Princess Wojia, Miss Youlan.

At ease. Just now we heard you say that

there's wicked qi in Her
Royal Highness's bedroom.

How did you know that?

I want to hear what you
two think about this first.

Actually, we've felt for a while that

something's wrong in Her
Royal Highness's bedroom.

Right. The maids in Joy and
Longevity Hall said earlier

that they saw a ghost in the garden.

A ghost?

Please come in.

You stay here when you're
on duty in the palace?

Yes. We must stay close to our masters.

If they get sick in
the middle of the night,

we can hurry there immediately.

Dr Yam, you do like to write a lot.

It's my habit to jot down
everything I see or hear every day.

When I grow old and retire,
perhaps I'll publish a memoir.

When the ritual was performed just now,

I saw the Empress Dowager, the
Queen and two other concubines.

But I didn't see His Majesty.

There was a Reformation Movement earlier

causing a rift between the
Empress Dowager and His Majesty.

His Majesty is still under
house arrest at Yingtai

on the Empress Dowager's order.

There are crows in the palace?

The Manchurians believe
that crows bring good luck.

So crows are kept in the palace.

But they caw so loudly. It's so noisy.
They'll wake people from their sleep.

Don't worry. They're just fighting
for food. That's why they keep cawing.

When they're done
eating, they'll fly away.

Longevity.

To Chung, I've already ordered
the Shamans to perform the ritual.

I've also taken the
medicine you prescribed.

But when I woke up this morning, there
were still bruises on my limbs. Why?

Your Royal Highness, it's a good sign

that there are still
bruises on your limbs.

Congratulations.

Why is it good that there
are bruises on my limbs?

I suggested performing
rituals in the palace

for seven days in a row.

My objective was to eliminate
the wicked qi hiding in your body.

Now there are bruises again. That
proves the rituals are effective.

The wicked qi in your body is
being forced out bit by bit.

I believe Your Royal Highness will
get better in less than seven days.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

But to get a better
understanding of the progress,

may I ask for permission to
examine the wound on your feet?

How dare you, To Chung!

How can Her Royal Highness
expose her feet so casually?

Your Royal Highness, I've heard people
talk about the principles of diagnosis:

Looking, smelling, asking and feeling.
What Dr To requested makes sense.

Since you don't show your
feet to other people casually,

why don't I look at them
and tell Dr To what I see?

How will it be reliable if
you do it? Dr To, go ahead.

All the torn and worn clothes
dumped by everyone in Summer Palace

including the Empress Dowager,
Queen, concubines, maids and grannies

are brought here to the
Imperial Household Office

for the servants to handle.

Dr To, you asked me to bring
you here in such a hurry.

What are you looking for?

Please be patient.

Dr Yam, please see if you can find

any used socks that Her
Royal Highness has discarded.

The word Longevity should be on them.

You remember that?

Being observant is my strength.

I see.

Found them.

Yes?

Is it this pair?

Longevity.

Why is there so much dirt
on this pair of socks?

It appears to be crow's muck and feed.

But Her Royal Highness is a clean freak.
I can't believe her socks are so dirty.

Let's go take a look.

Dr Yam, when were Her Royal Highness's

strange bruises first discovered?

I remember that clearly.

The first time the symptom was found
was on the night of August 13th.

You remember that?

Having a good memory is my only strength.

Do you have any special impression
about that particular day?

August 13th...

That's the day Her Royal Highness ordered
the execution of the Six Gentlemen.

Is her illness really
related to their ghosts?

Why?

There's a rumor in the palace.

People say that before the
Six Gentlemen were executed,

they had cast a spell
on the Empress Dowager.

They even asked someone to hide
a cursed rag doll in the palace.

So everyone in the palace was scared.

Then Her Royal Highness
heard about the rumor too.

Really?

I've heard of another rumor too.

When the Six Gentlemen were executed,

lots of people in the palace
heard the agonizing caws of crows.

A granny slipped and said she wondered

if it was the ghosts of the Six Gentlemen.

Then Her Royal Highness heard about that.

She was so mad that she ordered
to have the granny smacked.

Then the granny was
expelled from the palace.

Dr To, why did you ask us to come here
outside Her Royal Highness's bedroom

in the middle of the night?

Be patient. The show will begin very soon.

Why aren't the crows cawing tonight?

I already followed your instructions

and ordered people to fill the
top of Soulun Pole with bird feed

to attract the nearby crows
to come fight for the food.

Could it be that there's too little feed

there so the crows
haven't been lured here?

We can't wait. Let's
make the cawing sound.

Us?

What's Her Royal Highness doing?

She looks like a zombie.

How dare you call her a
zombie! I think she's possessed.

She's not possessed. She's sleepwalking.

Sleepwalking?

Where is she going?

If you want to know, follow her.

Why has she come all the way here?

Dr To, what's going on?

Let me explain from the first
day I met Her Royal Highness.

I noticed that there were
bruises all over her limbs.

But her bedroom floor was
smooth and covered with carpet.

There were no hard objects that
would cause injuries to her soles.

I also noticed that
the bruises on her arms

resembled the pattern
sticking up from the altar.

You mean it's very likely that

the bruises on her arm were caused
by her bumping into the altar cabinet?

But Li Lianying and Cui Yugui

insisted that she slept through
the night till the morning.

Did they lie on purpose?

I was almost sure that

Her Royal Highness had got out
of her bed and left her bedroom.

But she wasn't aware of it.

If you had such a conjecture,
why didn't you say so directly?

Why did you ask Her Royal Highness

to order the Shamans to
perform the exorcism ritual?

That was just my conjecture.
There was no concrete evidence.

If the two eunuchs insisted on
saying that it hadn't happened,

there's nothing I could
have said to rebut them.

That's why I asked the Shamans to
perform the rituals for seven days,

to buy me some time in order to
find out what actually happened.

I examined Her Royal Highness's feet.

I noticed some new scratches
near her left ankle.

But the socks she was
wearing weren't torn at all.

They even looked white and brand new.

Obviously someone changed them for her.

As expected, in the Imperial
Household Office's storeroom, we found

a pair of worn socks that belonged to her.

They weren't just torn, they also
had crow muck and feed on them.

The dirt on her socks was

the same kind of bird muck and feed

found on the ground at Soulun Pole.

That's why I believed the Empress
Dowager had been there before.

But what does her sleepwalking
have to do with the crows?

I have you to thank for telling
me about the rumors in the palace.

The Six Gentlemen used witchcraft

to cast a spell on the Empress Dowager.

The day they were executed, there
were crows cawing in the sky.

That's why there's a rumor that

those crows were actually the
spirits of the Six Gentlemen.

And Dr Yam confirmed that

the first time she got the symptom was on
the night the Six Gentlemen were executed

That's why I surmised that her illness
must be related to those rumors.

I get it now.

No wonder you told us to
caw like crows. I get it now.

That's why I was sure that

the caw of the crows was what
triggers her sleepwalking.

But why did Li Gong-gong and Cui

Gong-gong try to cover
up her sleepwalking?

I know why. The Empress
Dowager cares about face.

If people find out that
she got this illness

because she's afraid of the
curse cast by the Six Gentlemen,

she'd be so embarrassed.

Li Lianying and Cui Yugui have
served her for so many years.

How would they not know her temperament?

So they just wanted to
protect their master.

They didn't want people to find out
about this embarrassing situation.

But you're recording it
in great detail, Dr Yam.

Aren't you afraid you'll
antagonize Her Royal Highness?

Yam Sik-kang, you still have a lot
to learn about working in the palace.

We can't tell anyone about this. We
can't alert Her Royal Highness either.

So it's really hard to cure her.

It's hard. But it's not impossible.

First we must find out how to stop
the crows from cawing at night.

No problem. I can deal with that.

Apart from that,

I also have a very important mission
that requires your help, Princess.

Only then will we get the job done.

You look great today, Your Royal Highness.

To Chung, will it really
help to walk in the garden?

The ritual for seven days is over.

All the wicked qi in the palace
and your body has been eliminated.

You can get some fresh air
now. It's good for your health.

Summer Palace is a blessed
place in terms of feng shui.

I'm sure everything will be fine
now. You will live along life.

Wojia, that's so sweet.

You could even cajole the
birds in the sky to come to you.

No way.

Little Wong only lets Youlan
hold it. It won't let me.

How come?

I think you're just not used to holding
it. Youlan, let Wojia hold Little Wong.

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Little Wong...

Little Wong, why are you barking at
the artificial rocks? Little Wong...

Your Royal Highness, I think
there's something inside.

What is it?

Nothing.

Show me.

You had better not look at this.

To Chung, bring it here and show me.

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Who is so treacherous to
curse Her Royal Highness?

Cui Yugui, burn it.

Yes.

Your Royal Highness, this is my
fault. I found that. Please punish me.

You didn't do it on purpose. I
won't hold you liable. At ease.

Thank you.

The guilty person is the one who
cast the spell on Your Royal Highness.

Fortunately, you're blessed
so the doll was found.

We just need to burn it to ashes.
Then all the curses will stop working.

Yes.

To Chung, now you can
tell me what my disease is.

The bruises on your body were caused
by the accumulation of the wicked qi.

Do you really think I would believe in
such nonsense about supernatural powers?

There are many inexplicable
things in the world.

It depends on whether you believe them.

The seven-day ritual was just completed.

Then a rag doll for witchcraft

was found by the artificial
rocks in the garden.

I don't believe in such a coincidence.

Whether it's a coincidence is immaterial.

What's most important is that

the rag doll for witchcraft
has been turned into ashes now.

From now on, there won't be any
distracting thoughts in your mind.

So you will get better.

Premier Li was really right about you.
To Chung, you're really a seasoned doctor.

You know how to treat illnesses. You
can also deal with emotional problems.

You've cured me. I will be good to you.

How would you like to be
rewarded? Feel free to tell me.

I've been away from home for days.

What I want most now is to
go home soon to see my wife.

If Your Royal Highness could
order a carriage to take me home,

I would be most grateful.

I can't believe you're
even such a good husband

who cares about his wife so much.

Money and wealth can be exhausted.

A banquet with nice food and wine
will come to an end eventually.

Only the love for family members
will stay in one's heart forever.

Yingtai.

Thank you for coming in person.

This bottle of medicine
must be really valuable.

Your health has been
poor for quite some time.

It so happened that the British Counselor
had given me a new medicine called...

It's called vitamin.

They say that this new vitamin medicine
can strengthen a person. You can try it.

When one is physically sick,

he can try to improve
his health with vitamin.

But when a nation's sick, there may
not be the right medicine for it.

Are you saying I was wrong
to execute the Six Gentlemen?

They plotted against you behind my back.

I couldn't defend them even
though you wanted to punish them.

I wanted to launch the new administration.

But I failed to handle that tactfully.

That's why the officials
and the people were upset.

You wanted me to stay in Yingtai
to rest. I understand that.

But I don't understand why you have
put Consort Zhen under house arrest

in The North Chambers.

So you're talking about
that wretched woman.

She seduced you so that you
went against me time and again.

I wanted her to think about her mistakes.

I'm already so kind not to
dismiss her to be a commoner.

Everything she did was
in the interest of Qing.

How is she guilty?

So I'm not acting in the interest of Qing?

You ascended to the
throne at the age of four.

You grew up, completed
your education, got married

and took part in the administration.

Did I ever do anything
not in your interest?

Now you're blaming me for doing
this? I'm really so disappointed.

If you don't repent and keep listening
to that awful woman's destructive words,

then don't blame me
for being harsh. Guards.

Yes.

I'm returning to the palace.

Her Royal Highness is
returning to the palace.
