The Imperial Physician
Episode 4 SUBTITLES BY Babel Fansub www.facebook.com/BabelSub
Damn officials all over the world!
Castrated thieves deserved to die sonless.
Upon the brink of death,
you still won't shut up.
Come, behead them!
Go
Report!
It seems that someone will save us
Eunuch Li. He Tianxin. Zhang Zhesan
Spare them
The lucky survivors of a calamity!
Dumb people have their own happiness.
When I was a little boy, the fortune teller told me
I won't die so young.
I will definitely live a long life.
It's so strange
Didn't Empress Dowager order to behead us?
Even Emperor can't save us.
And now they're letting us go?
You don't understand.
Having talent is like having pregnancy.
You can see it only after a while.
The Empress Dowager must feel I'm really talented
And it'd be a pity if I died young.
And as my friend, you're freed as well.
I think Eunuch Li and Empress Dowager saw through your identity.
So they decided to send you back to Castration Room for the removal
Congratulations! Lucky survivors of a calamity
Why are you coming so late?
You've finally appeared.
Do you know that you might never see us again?
That's because I went to ask for the Emperor's help.
That's why I didn't come earlier.
I thought I'd be late.
Good thing you both are fine
Thankfully, you came on time.
Or else you won't even get to see us.
I assure you everything will be fine
We almost got killed. I'm so scared
Tianxin, why are you crying?
What's there to cry about?
You two are big men, why are you hugging?
We should just go for a celebration.
Well, will you treat us?
I.. I have no money now
No money? Really
Don't cry! Let's go to your home
Mother, mother!
Mother
You're grown up now
You didn't come back to visit me for such a long time.
I've just entered the academy.
There are so many things to do
So busy that you didn't even have the time to visit me?
You hardly come home,
and you're bringing two burdens.
Mom, you've seen him before.
He's Xiu Zhiping. He's working in the Palace too.
Isn't it such a coincidence?
Thank you for curing me when I was injured
No need.
He is called Zhesan
Auntie, I'm her co-worker
I'm Zhang Zhesan
Gender, male. Interest, female
Charming and Handsome
You can just call me Xiao San
Well, I shall peel it for you.
Okay. You'll prepare today's dinner.
No, it was just a gesture of politeness
You took it for real?
Cheers! Cheers!
Taste this.
This is goose feet cooked by my mom.
Fresh, tender, rich in taste and not greasy
Thanks for saving me.
Thank these two friends for giving me so much help,
or else I'd be bothered to death by those little matters in the Palace.
Weren't you so eager to go there?
Why don't you want to go now?
It doesn't matter. You might as well come back to sell pork with me.
But after I stayed there for a few days
I found out that the boredom is a false impression
Actually, it's a place where one gets knowledge and spiritual enrichment.
I can learn many things there.
Aren't you being biased?
Didn't you said you made two friends?
How come he has something to eat and I don't?
It's so near to you, can't you take it by yourself?
Sure I can, but it tastes different.
You shouldn't be biased.
We are all brothers.
Auntie, I toast you.
You've brought up such a good son.
I'll also toast both of my friends.
I hope we'll always share our fortunes and sufferings
Why this eyelid of mine is twitching again?
These two days, both of my eyelids kept twitching.
Xiao Tian
Did you get into any trouble recently?
Since young, whenever you get into a trouble,
my eyelids would twitch
It's just a superstition
I think you should drink more.
Come. I'll prescribe a medicine for you.
Prescribe a medicine for me too, Genius Physician.
Your disease is incurable.
Shut up and eat.
Okay, help yourself
- Come on. - Yummy
Come on
One Two Go
Drink more
He gets drunk so easily, yet drank so much.
Come, I'll show you something
Here, open it
Why are you buying me a dress?
I don't like it
You haven't even tried it on. How do you know that you won't like it?
I didn't like it at first glance
This is ordered from the best clothing store in the town
The store where the daughter of Grand Preceptor goes to
Do you know Mom sold many pigs before I can afford to buy this dress?!
Try it on
I think what I'm wearing now is great
What's so great about boys' clothes?
Remember you are a girl
Girls have to get married
Quick, try it on
It's pretty, huh?
It is pretty
But this really doesn't suit me
It suits you! Try it on, quick!
Look at it
How would this suit me?
I'm telling you
if I can fit inside, I wouldn't give it to you. I'd wear it myself
I bought this dress for you
Even if you don't like it, you still have to keep it
Did you hear me?
Try it on
I'll drink more at Uncle Tao's home.
Go
Hey did you find it? Hurry up!
I found it
Thankfully, it's still here.
Or else it would be big trouble.
See if it was eaten by the pigs?
See, even pigs won't eat it.
It makes me sick to think that commoners suffer for this
Here you are
If I get the two of them to help me,
I might win over Zhao Pusong and Li Baochuan
Xiao Tian?
Hey
- Just now... - What?
I was in the latrine just now.
When I came out, both of you were gone.
Do you think the bed is small?
Where's Xiao San?
An idea occurred to him, and he's gone.
Xiao Tian
Just now something weird happened
Nothing is weird for someone who knows what happened in the Palace
I won't believe it
Come, cheers.
Well, I couldn't get asleep just now
I heard someone singing outside
So I went out
Then I found a girl by the lake
She looked exactly like you
- You went to the lake? - Yep
You saw a girl who looked exactly like me
She had long hair, wore embroidered clothes
She sang and dance with fireflies, like a ghost
How do you know?
You saw a ghost
I'm not lying. It was a ghost
You've seen it before?
She... she's my younger sister
That means your younger sister passed away?
She was my twin sister
When we were catching fireflies by the lake in childhood
she accidentally fell into the lake and died
After that I would always see her by the lake
But she rarely come out to see strangers
It's over
Please don't mention it to my mom
Or else it will stir the sad memories
And she will be in pain
She would weep bitterly
Look!
Whenever it's a full moon, she will show up by the lake
No wonder you saw her
My sister, is she pretty?
She looks innocent, just like you.
To be honest, I have never seen such a pretty person
Everyone says she's pretty
It's late. I'm feeling tired
I'm going back to my room to sleep
See you tomorrow, goodnight
Goodnight
Go!
Find Eunuch Li's "treasure," even if we have to dig up the ground
Catch him!
Make way! Who are you?
Why are you laughing?
Dig up the ground
You only know this one and only line?
- You... - What?
Fuck!
You have eyes for nothing.
The thief is here, but you're only bullying the citizens
How dare you!
This is the chamber pot with Li Baochuan's "treasure"
Go tell Li Baochuan that it's so small!
Come take it back
- Catch him! - Yes
Kowtow!
Sorry
The Eastern Depot is notorious for its power
But you guys are just fools
I'll behead all of you.
The government is feeding you in vain.
Godfather, good news
The soldiers have found the thief
The thief?
Freeze! Freeze!
It's a dead end
Surround him! Quick!
Freeze!
Don't come any closer, or I'll drop this.
No, don't
We can talk this out. Don't drop it
You're surrounded at the cliff edge
You'd better surrender
I'm gonna throw it!
Either jump down or surrender
Fuck
I can see that this isn't yours
Arrest him!
Spare him
Oh My Gosh! Spare him
Be careful
Mr. Thief
Put it down first
I promise you a big fortune
It's the Imperial Edict to catch the thief.
Catch him, live or dead!
No
Put down the pot first
Mister Thief!
I can spare you
Make way for him and spare his life
I must catch the thief! Go!
How dare you! Make way for him!
No! I'm under an order to catch the thief
You have your order, but let him put down the pot first
No! We must catch the thief!
I'll give it back as I'll die anyway
Wait and see!
Quick, quick, quick!
Go get it! I'm gonna commit suicide!
One-in-a-life-time spectacle!
Take care! I'm coming!
You really can fly.
I thought you were kidding!
I have to live on.
You'll help me, the king of China, to stop those two people from harming others
King of China. Are you out of your mind?
The Emperor said it, he won't back out
What?
Sit well!
Listen! I am the Emperor
Someone! Go take a look!
Yes
Sir, the thief is smashed to pieces
Good! Report it to the Emperor that the thief is dead
Let's go back
Yes
Oh, no!
Don't shake it!
My "treasure"
Slowly! Don't let it fall!
Watch out
It's on top. Be careful
Godfather, I got it
Slowly!
A turtle?
Godfather! Gong Gong!
Gong Gong!
Why is the reaction like this?
It's because the needle has stimulated a vital point
Let me tell you
if you insert the needle in here
there will be a miraculous effect. Bear this in mind
The meridian system runs through the body
The Yin meridians of hand go from chest to hands
Leave.
The Yang meridians of hand go from hands to head
Can't I study by myself?
No reading is allowed.
How come?
I'm reading medical books, not novels.
You bar me from classes and can't I read books?
You can't
I'm here to be a doctor, not a cleaner
Why should I be cleaning when others have classes?
If you don't want to clean, fuck off
How come?
We're all here to learn medicine
Why are you so unfair to me?
I dislike you
Wait and see
I'll definitely make you change your opinion
Nonsense
I'll never leave no matter what.
Bar me from classes, I'll study by myself.
Bar me from reading, I'll read sneakily.
Without you, I can still be a good doctor!
An Imperial Edict
An Imperial Edict for Imperial Physician Leng Quan
Well, it says...
The sky's order
The sky's order, the Emperor...
The Emperor's imperial edict
I thought it was "edible"?
Forget it.
Get up.
The Emperor is trying to tell you this
A clinic is to be built in the Palace
He Tian will be in charge, and he'd prepare for it
Look at it yourself
You're illiterate but dare to fake an imperial edict?
If found out, you're dead for sure
I was transferred to the Imperial Study. The edict is real.
Pack your things. Prepare to enter the Palace.
Sir, can you let me take that book with me to the Palace?
Okay? I'll be grateful
Why don't you stay here for a while?
Let's have fun! It was my idea. How is it?
I can't let a talent like you be ignored
Even a pig will know that you're lying
It must be Xiu Zhiping's idea, not yours
A pig can't tell lies from truth
Besides, Zhiping is too busy to think about it, right?
The key point is that after you go to the clinic
you'll be at the Palace every day
This way, I can see you every day
Here, a surprise. Give me a kiss. Come.
It's for real?
Congratulations!
Use your talents to help more people in the Palace
This is for you
What is it?
This is the Entry Pass. It allows you to leave the Palace at your will
Really? It's not a fake, right?
I got this from the Emperor It's not a pirated version
Oh this is great, I want one
Fine, I'll give you one next time
I appreciate your generosity
I want to be your friend
We have always been friends
Now that all of us are good friends...
Whose your friend?
Why do you get mad so easily?
I didn't even ask you why you put that sign up there?
It reads "ten"
Ten?
I'm curious about this too
What's the meaning of this?
It represents my principle as a doctor
I treat all people in distress
regardless of age, financial or social status
This word means that there is no one I won't save
Then would you save a thief and bastard?
I'll save everyone but the wicked eunuch
Then what if this wicked eunuch get his arms broken
He can't even drink the medicine
Will you let him suffer?
Want to know my answer, break your arms first
What? Bastard!
Brother, look at him!
Okay, stop fighting
Good, you finally smiled heartily
Don't always be so pensive
Loosen up. Too much pressure will crush you down
That's right. You should learn from me.
I live every day without worry, free and easy.
Even my smiles are so enchanting
Don't you think so?
Right. You don't have a brain, so you don't have stress
If you don't believe me, let me pat your head to see if it's hollow!
No, it will hurt
Stop it for my sake
Strangely, I'm very happy with you two around
And I feel at home
I feel the same way too
Since we're so fated
why don't we become sworn brothers, okay?
Sworn brothers?
You think we're gangsters?
Have you thought about your social status?
I don't see anything wrong with that
See!
Zhang Zhesan, Xiu Zhiping, He Tian
We become sworn brothers
We'll go through think and thin together
We'll share wealth and burdens alike
The three of us will accomplish great things and help the people
for peace and prosperity of the nation
Godfather, the Emperor arrested our people for questioning
Now, he's befriending people against you, He Tian and Zhang Zhesan
Obviously, he's after you
A little Emperor, a eunuch and a physician
They won't be able to do anything great
Godfather, it's better to take precautions
It's true that the Emperor can't achieve anything on his own
But one day when his wings are fully grown
What are you trying to do?
Go to stew chicken soup
Yes
- Put as much salt as you can. - Yes
Then send it immediately to Empress Dowager
But Godfather, putting so much salt in the soup
The Empress Dowager won't like it
Just do as I say
I'm sorry. I'll do it.
I have carefully analyzed it
I think my cousin doesn't like me
He won't see me, so he always hides from me
No, it's a misunderstanding
Don't cry, don't cry
If you keep crying, your curls will become straight
They're not straight yet
Don't worry
Aunt will ask him to come over in a while
I'll make him play with you
So sweet
- Darling - Auntie
- Your Majesty - Come in
Your Majesty. Oh, Miss Yunying
Li Gong-Gong
Your Majesty, you've been having headaches lately
I prepared chicken soup for you for nourishment
Come, taste it. It's still hot
- What's wrong? - Is this chicken soup?
Aunt, let me try some too
Please
I love chicken soup
What's wrong?
Did this chicken feed on salt?
I deserve to die
Last night, when I was cooking the chicken soup for Your Majesty
I was thinking about your majesty's stomach problems
Your majesty was unable to eat
So I couldn't help but cry
The soup is salty probably because my tears dripped into the soup
Your tears are really very salty
You treat the Empress Dowager so well
How I wish my cousin would also treat me so?
How has the Emperor been lately?
I don't know if I should say this or not
Say it
Fine
His Majesty has been keeping the company of
some young eunuch and a physician
They fool around every day.
His Majesty is too young to restrain himself from indulgence
I will lecture him
Your Majesty, instead of lecturing him
why don't you let him get married soon?
On one hand, this will distract him from other desires
On the other hand, he'll concentrate on state affairs
I also want him to marry
but he is always avoiding it
I arranged for Yunyi to enter the Palace
but he evaded her
What can I do?
Please help me
Well, why not choose a concubine for His Majesty?
The Emperor is already of a suitable age for marriage
It's only natural to choose a concubine for him
Now that suggestion doesn't work
make a public announcement of choosing a concubine
His Majesty may be able to avoid the matter in front of you
but he can't possibly make himself a laughing stock of the country
I can't do without you by my side
All right, send the Edict in my name and no one is to go against it
Yes, Your Majesty
Look, His Majesty is choosing a concubine
The Emperor is looking for an Empress
The registration of every household will be checked
Eastern Depot will do a population census
All ladies between 18 and 22 will be considered for concubine selection
Those who refuse to participate will face punishment
The Empress?
You mean sitting all day in the Palace without doing anything?
My silly daughter
The Empress is the mother of the nation
She's not the kind of person idling all day
You may not understand it now
but you should be careful with your words
I don't want to be the Empress
Silly girl. The Empress Dowager just wrote an Edict
It calls upon every young, unmarried girl to enter the Palace
Xiangning, I can guarantee that once you step into the Palace
you'll be able to become the Empress
At that time
you'll be second only to the Emperor
You can have anything that you want
Dad, about the concubine or empress election,
You may go yourself. I'm not going.
You... Nonsense
You're still young
I'm making the decision for you
I'd rather die than enter the Palace
From now on, you're not allowed to leave here
Stay at home before you enter the Palace
Father, is it for me or for you?
I'm doing it for you, of course
Mingjing, I'm warning you
if Miss. Zhao makes any trouble this time
I'll hold you responsible
Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager does not want to see anyone
- Why? - I don't know
Let me see the Empress Dowager
Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for me
Who would dare to go against Her Majesty's order?
Your Majesty
Who's making noise outside?
The Empress Dowager is having a rest
Oh
Your servant, Majesty
Your Majesty
Baochuan
I want to see the Empress Dowager
Her Majesty is not feeling well today and wants to have a rest
Your Majesty might wanna come here another day
What's her condition like now?
Why hasn't anyone told me that she's ill?
Her Majesty is extremely worried about your situation
Lately she has been having headaches
So she told me to give you a message
What did she say?
Her Majesty asks you to concentrate on your upcoming marriage
She said that if you don't take the matter seriously
it would mean that you don't take her seriously
Send her my regards
I would not dare to go against her wishes
Yes, Your Majesty
Let me in
Doctor, I'm sick
How do you feel?
I feel unwell all over
I've been too feverish to wear clothes
Take a look and tell me what problem I have
- I'll take it off now - No, don't
I'll just take your pulse
Why don't you strip too?
Your skin is so smooth and soft
You are so handsome
You're just the type that I like
You're not ill, you can leave
Doctor, where do you live?
How about I'll go over to your house?
Dear, you're a maid in the Palace
You can't even get out of the Palace
Then I'll just meet you here
Do you have a girlfriend?
It's my turn! My turn!
I get here first! Get out!
Insolent! What the fuck are you doing?
Get lost!
Go. Get lost.
Hurry up
He Tian, you're making trouble in the Palace
As the Eunuch Manager, I should punish you
They are making trouble here
What nonsense!
You're Director of the Health Center
From the Majesties to the servants
you're responsible for curing their illnesses
Now the Empress Dowager has no appetite
Prepare herbal cuisines for her Majesty
There are many causes for a lack of appetite
It might be diarrhea or maybe the food just isn't appetizing
I can't prescribe medicine without seeing the patient
I should at least take her pulse and ask a few questions
All right, you may meet Her Majesty
to see why she has no appetite
But... If Her Majesty is not feeling well
Physician Leng should be responsible
No, you'll take care of it
Those from the Imperial Academy of Medicine are morons
They treated the Empress Dowager for many years
They haven't even diagnosed the illness
As for you, although you just came here
you look rather smart
If you can cure Her Majesty's illness
you would have done a great service
You can have any reward you want
I don't mind if I get rewarded or not
But can I borrow a set of books?
Books? You may have hundreds and millions of sets
You may have any books stored in the Palace
So, are you going or not?
