~Episode 19~
Okay, this is the medicine.
Ling Chun, go to the imperial hospital now.
Get the medicine according to the prescription.
Don't make a mistake this time.
Yes.
Sister, have a good rest.
I'll do some acupuncture on you.
You will feel much better.
Xiao Tian, when did you start to study medicine?
I started when I was three.
Three years old?You probably weren't even literate then.
Yes. When I was young, my family was very poor. We had no money for toys.
I would play with whatever's there.
One day, I found a book beneath my mother's bed.
But you couldn't read.
How did you understand what was in the book?
Yes, I didn't understand it.
But there were a lot of little people in it.
There were dots and lines. Very interesting.
I would always take it out to look at it.
Later, when I was older and knew how to read,
I found out that the dots and lines
were vital points and vessels.
That means you learnt the skills by yourself?
Yes. My first patient was a doll.
I used sewing needles to practice accupuncture.
Once my mom tore her pants.
She looked for the whole day and couldn't find any needles.
After I got bored of practicing on the doll,
I practiced on Da Fu's father.
After he passed away, I practiced on Da Fu instead.
Who is Da Fu?
He's the pig in our home.
He Tian Xin's father left home when she was born.
And has never returned since.
Her mother and her relied on each other.
Madm He single-handedly raised He Tian Xin.
Madam He was afraid that they both
will be picked on by others.
So she treated He Tian Xin like a boy since young.
They always moved house
and never contacted any of their relatives.
He Tian Xin has also never heard her mom talked about their relatives.
Then, who did she learnt her medical skills from?
He Tian Xin never learnt from anyone,
she picked it up on her own.
This is very strange.
With everything as blank as this...
Aiyoh.
The one whom He Tian Xin brought harm upon was you right?
She and I call each other sister.
She trusts me very muchand wouldn't lie to me.
In order to get closer to her,
your pretension* to be hurt is worth it.
But I would like to ask you
He Tian Xin is a physician. How did you fool her?
I recently drank some tonics that will make me feel heaty.
The tonics made my body heaty. It has nothing to do with a fever.
If I've more people like you who are as capable,
I would have been able to retire earlier.
I'm only obeying your orders.
And paid special attention to small details.
Good. Excellent.
Right. I would like to thank Eunuch Li
for ordering the eunuchs responsible for my beating to do it lightly.
I only suffered a little pain.
It's a small matter. If I were to break you,
it wouldn't be easy to find another smart one.
Right.
I still have something to remind you.
Godfather, please say it.
Didn't you wish to be the Empress?
Then, He Tian Xin is your rival.
If you were to play along with her for very long,
don't make things become real by truly caring for her.
Godfather, don't worry.
He Tian Xin is merely a obstacle to achieving my great plan.
I only wish to remove her.
I won't hold her in regard.
Obstacle? Then what will I be?
Godfather, you are my savior and benefactor.
You are someone I love and respect the most.
Okay, you can go back now.
Yes, Godfather.
Wait a second.
Lately, I heard that He Tian Xin has been looking for a set of medical books.
I don't know know what the title of the book is.
Nor do I know why she's looking for that book.
Help me to find out more about it.
Yes.
Cousin, I know that you are looking for me.
I came as fast as I could.
How are you today? Are you tired?
Have your wounds healed?
Let me take a look at your wounds.
The wounds have healed. There is no need.
Oh, all right.
I know that you have been busy lately.
That's why I tried my best not to disturb you.
Then, you, aren't you tired lately?
Do you want this master of the masters
to give you a massage?
No need, cousin.
I'm here because I have something to tell you.
Don't go and look for He Tian Xin anymore.
She complained to you, didn't she?
She didn't say anything.
Is that so? Then, it must be Zhang Zhe San.
It's not important who told me, cousin.
Most importantly is , don't bully others.
You are a relative of the royal family.
If word of this get out,
you will lose the respect of the masses.
How? How did I bully her?
She was wrong in the first place.
First posing as a man to deceive you.
And caused you to be scolded by Aunt.
And caused you to be injured.It's not something I can overlook.
What's wrong with me trying to get even for you?
These things have already passed. I no longer care about them.
Furthermore, you shouldn't have used these reasons
as excuses to bully them.
Why are you speaking up on her behalf?
I'm your cousin.
Why are you supporting outsiders?
I'm not speaking on her behalf.
It's because you are my cousin,
that I won't let you make this mistake.
You liar.
I have been in the palace for so long
and you never look for me. You're always looking for her.
You've neglected me for so long.
And because of her, you are here to scold me.
Tell me, do you like her?
Okay. Anyway, don't go and look for her in the future.
Okay, I will not look for her anymore
but you are not allowed to like her.
You can only like me.
If you were to like her,
I will be very, very hurt. Do you know?
Cousin? Cousin?
Why did he suddenly disappear?
Subtitles brought to you by the Unruly Qiao team at Viki
If you lacking or need anything,
just tell me. Don't be shy.
What is it? What do you want to say?
If I can help you, I will.
Sister Yi Rou, have you
heard about the book Ben Cao Pin Hui Jin Yao (some rare book about herbs)?
I've never heard of that. I don't understand medicine.
But I can take you to the library to have a look.
Elder Brother already brought me there.
I have already seen all the books there. Thanks.
That's true. The Emperor likes you so much.
He would have already brought you there.
Why didn't I think of this?
Don't say that, Sister Yi Rou.
Elder brother only brought me there whenit was convenient.
Right.
What kind of a book is this? What is it about?
It is a rare and mysterious set of books.
To put it simply, this set of books
is the encyclopedia of medicine. Priceless and extremely useful.
Zhang Zhe San you stupid eunuch.
How dare you lodge a complaint against me? I curse all your offsprings to become eunuchs.
He Tian Xin you ugly freak. I kick!
I hope that in your next life as a male, you will become an eunuch too.
I'm so mad.
Your father is an eunuch. Your uncle is one too.
Your grandfather is an eunuch,
all of you are eunuchs.
If you get married in the future, your daughter will marry a eunuch!
I want to bless you to become a pig head everyday.
Zhang Zhe San
I curse that all your ancestors and children are eunuchs.
Oh wait, his mother can't be an eunuch.
His mother can marry an eunuch then.His father, grandfather and uncle are all eunuchs!
If he finds a wife in the future, his wife can become an eunuch too! Oh wait, that can't happen either.
The Emperor is here.
Cousin, I'm coming.
Cousin
A little surprise?
He Tian Xin, you despicable little creature!
Do you think that by making me look like this,
that you would be prettier than me?That's not going to happen!
I'll show you...
I want you to look even uglier than I look now!
Miss Yun Ying, what happened to your face?
Stop asklng and move aside,it's none of your business.
I'm here to look for this bad woman who harms others.
How did I harm others?
Don't act innocent.
You can con my cousin but you can't con me.
Beat her!
Yes.
Wait!
What on earth is going on?
What? You're asking what's going on?
Look at my face.
Who just knocked at my door andleft me a wasp nest?
Look at this,
look!
The evidence is here.
I didn't do it. It wasn't me.
If not you, then who?
Miss Yun Ying,
He Tian Xin has been with me all along.
It can't be her.
Stop protecting her. Go away.
I'm not helping her.
I was sparing a thought for you.
It's true that you got stung by wasps.
Does that even need to be said?
But He Tian Xin was with me, that's a fact too.
How would I know thatthe both of you are not in cahoots?
You are so intelligent,
I'm just a mere court lady.
If I lie, there is no way I can escape your eyes.
Then,
Furthermore, He Tian Xin was given a beating of 30 strokes,
she can't move around freely. Serves you right!
Even if we do not take into considerationthe effort required to get the wasp nest,
just having to run from your rooms to mine,
would require a tremendous amount of effort.
Furthermore, you are so awesome,
you would have been able to catch her along the way.
Then, I...
It's a small thing for you to punish her.
But if you punish her in error,
and if the person who truly pulled a prank on you
were to know of your reckless behavior,
That wouldn't be a good thing.
I... then...
Miss Yun Ying,
you are the pride of all women in the world.
I hope that you can do a thorough investigation before you mete out the punishment.
He Tian Xin, I'm letting you off this time.
But don't be too happy yet, I'll go back and reveal the identity of your accomplice.
When that time comes, let's see what you will say.
Right. Also,
if you are so capable, you might as well kill me with your pranks.
Stop using this kind of petty tricks on me.
Retreat!
It's all right now.
If you didn't speak up for me just now,
I would have become the scapegoat again.
I don't understand why she keeps picking on me.
She is not picking on you,
She is jealous of you.
Because she also likes the Emperor.
But the Emperor likes you.
Don't tease me.
Don't tell me that you didn't know that.
Right, is the Emperor aware of this?
I have never told him.
Why?
Elder brother already has a lot on his mind.
I don't wish to burden him any further.
I'm leaving first. Sister, please have a good rest.
Xiao Tian.
Your enemy only seeks explanations,not an end to your life.
If you have a remedy to cure wasp stings,
I know.
Yi Rou seeks permission to see His Majesty.
Enter.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
It's late now. Is anything the matter?
It's regarding Xiao Tian.
What's wrong with Xiao Tian?
Two days ago, Xiao Tian burnt down the Empress Dowager's praying hall.
and was beaten 30 times by the Empress Dowager
Xiao Tian repeatedly ordered me to
not tell you about this.
She was afraid that you will worry and that she will disturb you.
That way, she will feel bad about it.
I'm her Elder Brother.
Why should she feel bad about this?
Your Majesty is right,
but Xiao Tian has your interests at heart.
If she was to discover that you knew,
her good intentions will be in vain.
How is her injury now?
She can walk and move and is fine now.
But didn't Xiao Tian ask you to keep it from me?
Why did you come and report this to me?
Because I can see that Xiao Tian is unhappy.
She is not as energetic and cheerful as before.
Her smiles are getting lesser and lesser.
It's hard for me to see her this way.
I thought that by allowing her to return to the palace,
she can be as happy as she used to be.
But the Empress Dowager transferred her to the Harem Chambers.
I couldn't do anything to stop it. I have made her suffer much more.
Maybe letting her stay outside the palace
would be better for her.
Why don't you go and comfort her?
With your encouragement, she will definitely find her smile again.
Thank you for being so concerned about Xiao Tian.
If anything else happens,
please come and tell me immediately.
Yes. It's getting late. Your Majesty should retire early.
Didn't I tell you not to go?
Now Yun Ying is pushing all the blame to me.
Aren't you giving me more troubles?
Why are you so fierce?
I was helping you. You should be grateful to me.
Moreover, you have an alibi. She can't blame it on you.
Do you think that I'll feel better if you prank her?
I was just venting my anger. Why are you being so serious? She can't die from a few wasp stings.
Pity you were not there.
When I threw the wasp nest,
she was running and screaming.
In the end, her face swelled and looks like a pig's!
It looks good with her hairstyle.
Childish and boring.
You have been with Elder Brother for such a long time.
Why don't you pick up his mature way of dealing with things?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Elder Brother is good.
Whatever Elder Brother does is good. But whatever I do is childish.
Did i get it wrong?
Do you think Elder Brotherwould play such a childish prank?
No. He wouldn't be as cowardly as me.
When you both wish to exchange letters, I help you deliver it.
When you peek at elder brother, I protect you from the dark.
I think that I am more of a little brother than your second brother.
What nonsense are you spouting?
I am only judging things the way they are.
What's wrong with you?
We were joking.
You know how second brother is.
If I don't bicker with him, he can't sleep at night.
Xiao San, what's wrong?
Nothing. My stomach doesn't feel good.
I am just suffering from gastric pain and indigestion. I can't bear it.
Do you want Xiao Xin to give you some medicine?
No need. I just need to go back and sleep and I'll be fine.
Kong Zi once said, if we don't take an afternoon nap, we will collapse later.
Meng Zi once said Kong Zi's saying was right.
Xiao San is acting strange.
Leave him alone. He will be fine in a while.
Elder Brother, why do you have the time to come here?
It's nothing. I wanted to ask you if there is anything you are not used to since you came back.
I'm used to the place here.
Sister Yi Rou treats me well.
The Empress Dowager likes me too.
Even the way Yun Ying treats me is improving.
That's good. If there is anything you are not familiar with, don't be afraid to say it out.
I am very used to it. Mum once said that
I am a cockroach that can't be killed.
I can eat and sleep anywhere.
Xiao Tian, I want to go to a place with you.
No problem. Where do you want to go?
You will know when we get there. Let's go.
Are we there yet?
Not yet. You can't open your eyes yet.
You can open your eyes now.
So how is it?
Well?
It's so beautiful.
Xiao San once told me
that you hope to till a piece of landand grow your own herb garden.
But because you were summoned back to court,
your dreams were put on hold.
For saving the Empress Dowager, I've been thinking of ways to thank you.
Promoting you to a high ranking officer or giving you wealth is too old-fashioned.
So, I decided to give you this happy herbal garden.
I hope that you will always be happy.
Furthermore, I have already informed the guards
that only you have the rights to enter here. No one else is to be allowed in.
Even if I want to come in, I've to get your permission first.
This is your little paradise.
you don't have to care about the palace rules and regulations here.
You can be yourself.
If you want to plant herbs or daze about, it's your choice.
Just do whatever you want.
No one will bother you.
And no one will interupt you again.
Elder brother, thank you.
Okay, go take a look.
Where are you taking me?
Don't be so anxious. You will know in a while.
Can't you just tell me where we are going?
Why are you being so secretive?
Xiao Tian.
Come.
Give it to me.
No.
You really dare to splash the water on me?
So what?
You can't get me!
Hmph!
I will let you hide again.
Coming.
Okay.
Just watch me deal with you.
Give it to me.
Running away?
Come here.
You can't catch me!
Give it to me.
No!
Xiao Tian.
I really hope that you will always be happy.
I wish that you can smile so innocently and brightly forever.
Just like the other time
when I saw you at the lakeside.
Don't be rash.
If you rush over,
you will damage your image with the Emperor.
Don't tell me that I should just watchwhile she steals my cousin?
Don't worry. No one can take away
your seat as the Empress.
Come in quick. Tell me what we should do.
There's no one here.
Tell me what we should do.
He Tian Xin used her sweet words
to successfully seduce His Majesty.
If you want the Emperor to leave her,
you must first arouse his suspicion.
Suspicion?
How can I make my cousin suspicious?
What is this?
He Tian Xin doesn't behave the same way as others do.
If she want to seek forgiveness, she will surely look for you.
And also, she will try to relieve you from the illnesses you are suffering from.
As long as you take them and be poisoned,
He Tian Xin will surely fall into your trap.
This is poison? Where did you get it from?
This is use to grant death to servants.
Are you crazy? Do you want me to die?
If you take this pill,
it will kill you.
But if you only take half of it,
you'll only have half of the poison and will not endanger your life.
He Tian Xin is full of tricks.
If we don't use this method,
it will be hard for her to fall into your trap.
Why are you doing this?
Haven't you always been in collaboration with her?
In the past, I thought that Tian Xin was a good person.
But after seeing her together with the Emperor...
She has actually always desired to be the Empress.
It's just that I didn't expose her true colours.
It was my fault. Please forgive me.
See, I have been telling you that
but you just didn't believe me.
I was so close to punishing her the last time.
Why did you become her alibi?
But Tian Xin was really with me
at that time.
But I believe she must have an accomplice.
She brought harm upon you.
I know.
It must be that stinking eunuch, Zhang Zhe San!
Miss Yun Ying, your opponent is devious and cunning.
We have no choice
but to treat them like they treated us.
However, if you are willing to risk your life,
I believe that getting rid of them will not be a problem.
But if you are not willing to,
I'm afraid that it'll be increasingly difficult for you to be the Empress.
You said that there won't be any problemif I eat this medicine?
Eat the other half and let me see.
Eat it!
Drink.
Swallow it.
Open your mouth.
Thanks.

Who is it?
Xiao Tian, it's me.
Elder Brother, what's the matter?
Nothing.
I was just passing by and wanted to see if you were asleep yet.
I was asleep.
Sorry, I won't bother you then.
Elder brother.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Goodnight.
Lady He,
I brought it.
Lady He, why are you so happy?
Did something happened?
No, nothing happened.
Ouch!
Lady He, what is this?
There is alot of herbs inside.
(all the names of herbs)
Centipede? Ice Toad's skin?
Can this be medicine?
Of course it is. This is good for treating heatiness and removing toxic in the body.
You're really knowledgeable!
That's good. Unlike me, I only know how to run errands.
Sweep the floors and I can't even do them well.
Don't say it like that. Everyone has their own special abilities that can come in useful.
you just need to learn.
Lady He.
Why don't you teach me medicine?
Do you really want to learn medicine?
Yes, yes. yes.
Lady Mo sent me here to help you.
If you teach me what you know,
In future, I can be just like you.
Saving people and curing illnesses.
Okay. I'll teach you if you want to learn.
You can take this book back and have a look.
I will teach you another day.
Thank you, Master.
Please receive three kowtows from your disciple.
What are you doing?
Didn't you promise to teach me medicine?
You are my teacher then.
Okay, enough. No need to bow.
No way.
If we want to learn skills from others, we must kowtow.
If you are going to kow tow, I'll not teach you.
Pick your choice.
Reporting! Yes, thank you teacher.
Teacher, it's on fire.
Fire! Fire!
Hurry up and extinguish the fire!
What happened?
You... Have you come to seek revenge?
Since you have been stung by bees,
I have prepared some medicine for you.
Help me prepare? Is it your conscience speaking?
Miss Yun Ying,
I am only doing what a doctor should.
I hope that you can get well soon.
What happened in the past were all misunderstandings.
Don't take it to heart.
He Tian Xin, you secretly asked someone to harm me.
Then on the surface, you try to give me treatment.
You planned a performance for my cousin to see, didn't you?
You act as the good person,
while I play the villian's part. Do you think I'm an idiot?
I'm in charge of the health of all persons in the palace.
Since you are ill, it is my responsibility that you get well.
If you won't drink it, i'll take it away.
Wait!
Come back!
Put it down.
All of you are dismissed.
Yes.
Hurry.
What is this thing? It looks so dark.
Is it edible? Are you trying to kill someone with it?
Of course it is edible.
This medicine can neutralise poision, reduce swelling and ease pain.
I even added honey so that it won't taste too bitter.
Since you are so sincere,
I'll try it.
It tastes so awful!
Don't think that I have forgiven you just because I drank your medicine.
Stay as far away from my cousin as possible in the future.
Sure.
It tastes so bad.
Hurry up and leave.
What's the matter?
Miss Yun Ying, the Empress Dowager wants you to go and have your meal.
Let me tell you. I ate it.
See how I will deal with He Tian Xin in front of the Empress Dowager.
Thank you, Aunt.
Look at your face, see how badly you have been stung.
You are feeling better right?
It doesn't hurt anymore. But do i look ugly?
No. Aunt will think of a solution.
I will ask the physician to make sure that it doesn't leave any scar.
Eat up.
Eat more.
Okay.
Yun Ying, this time you went home for so long.
How's your father's condition?
Still not good.
He can't even recognize me now.
What did the physicians
I sent there say?
They have yet to come up with anything good.
Now, my dad's state of mind
isn't even comparable with that of a three year old.
Furthermore, they said
that his condition will deteriorate.
I'd like to name you as the Queen,
but i am afraid that our family's history of Alzheimer
will affect the royal bloodlines.
No, it won't happen. Aunt, look at me,
I am so healthy.
This kind of disease
won't be passed on to me. Am I right?
Yes you are.
Yun Ying? What is wrong with you?
Yun Ying? What happened?
Yun Ying? Yun Ying?
Summon the physician! Hurry!
Yun Ying, what's wrong?
Yun Ying? Yun Ying?
Oh my goodness, Yun Ying.
Stop scaring me, Yun Ying.
Don't be like this. Don't scare me anymore.
Miss Yun Ying?
-Miss Yun Ying? -Yun Ying??
Yun Ying...
Hurry! Where is the physician?
Quickly! Send for the physician!
Quickly send the physician to Ci Ning Palace!!!
Something bad has happened!
Something is wrong with Miss Yun Ying!
What is wrong with her?
Stop asking.
Hurry and rush to Ci Ning Palace.
Hurry. Hurry.
Quickly.
Lady Mo?
Yun Ying... Yun Ying... My precious Yun Ying...
What is wrong with you Yun Ying...?
Talk to me.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
How is she? What is truly wrong with her?
Tell me quick. How is she?
Miss Yun Ying... is dead.
Impossible. She was still fine just now.
She... She... It's not possible!
Doctor Leng, please check!
See what is wrong with her.
How is she?
Your Majesty, Miss Yun Ying has passed on.
That can't be.
She was still fine just now.
Please do a more thorough check.
Check her more thoroughly! Do you hear me?
Just check again more carefully!
Examine her thoroughly.Thoroughly.
She shows all signs
of a person who is dead. Please arrange her funeral.
I say... I say... That she isn't dead.
She isn't dead! Please save her!
Quickly save her! Save her!!
Your Majesty, please don't take the news so hard.
Leave. Get out!
All of you get out! OUT!!!
Yun Ying... Please wake up...
Do you hear your aunt calling you?
Rest assured. I will surely save you. Surely!
You too! Get out!!
All of you are liars. You have all lied to me.
She only fell ill. She isn't dead...
All of you would rather leave her to die than save her.
I want to kill all of you!!!
Yun Ying... Don't worry. Your aunt will surely save you.
My precious Yun Ying...
Yun Ying... Wake up... I am calling you!
Son, you came at the right time.
Your cousin has fainted.
Hurry up and call her. To wake her up.
Quickly call her! Call Yun Ying...
Mother,
cousin is already dead.
It's not possible! It isn't!!
She was still laughing just now.
Laughing along with me.
She can't just leave like that.
Call her!
Mother, mother! She has already passed on.
Yun Ying...
Get out. You get out!
All of you leave me alone!
Yun Ying...Yun Ying...
Child... Go to sleep.
Your aunt will stay here with you.

Well? How is it?
All right. If you want to learn, I will teach you.
