I, Tian Qi, am a small doctor from the Imperial Medical Academy.
Right now, I'm at the Ji Manor of Andong army's military commander.
That's right. I'm crying at a funeral.
How could you just leave like this?
Princess!
The person lying in this coffin was my Mistress.
But the reason why I'm crying so tragically, it's not because I can't bear to see her leave.
It's because... In order to serve the future wife of the commander,
also known as the person lying here,
I spent so much money to bribe everyone!
I'm carrying a huge debt to date.
You left me alone in this world. What should I do now?
What should I do?
Tian Qi.
Let her leave in peace. Okay?
No, don't!
No! No!
After I spent so much money, my patron in the manor is gone now.
How can I not be grief-stricken?
Not only do I want to cry, I want to die too.
Princess!
- Princess! - Isn't Dr Tian being too extreme?
How could a man cry like this?
That's right, but I heard Tian Qi has cursed several masters.
He did cure several noble ladies,
but for some unexplained reasons, they ridiculously died later.
On the contrary, he was promoted. Could it be that he cried so hard
that the deceased were happy, so they are willing to protect him in Heaven?
Can you give me a chance to serve you well, Princess?
Princess!
- Princess! - Princess!
Princess!
- Princess! - Princess!
What are you doing?!
[Commander's Manor]
Ji Heng, Commander of Andong army.
Everyone stop!
The princess has just passed. Why are you all playing happy music?
Are you all tired of living?
Let's play sad songs.
[Grief]
Princess, please allow Tian Qi to send you off well!
Let me burn you some more money, a little more!
Let me burn you some more money.
This moment is the first time I faced
the favored commander of the Emperor, Ji Heng.
It's the first time I saw his face clearly.
It's also the first time that I've thought of this phrase in my mind.
Tian Qi, 19 years old.
Dead.
[Many days ago, Imperial Medical Academy]
Tian Qi come out.
Dr. Tian Qi has joined the Imperial Medical Academy for two years.
He has excellent qualifications with exquisite medical skills.
He researched and produced many medicinal prescriptions.
And also, invented many new treatment methods.
After undergoing evaluations, with the recommendations of the
senior doctors in the Imperial Medical Academy,
you are granted the position of an imperial doctor to serve His Majesty.
Congratulations!
No, I can't be an Imperial Doctor.
Tian Qi, becoming an Imperial Doctor
is the dream of many people.
Why are you declining it?
I can't harm His Majesty.
I'm...I'm thinking on his behalf.
Now that it has come to this, I can only tell the truth.
Actually, when I was young,
there was a roaming master who told my parents,
"This Tian Qi was born under an unlucky star.".
"He's also a reincarnation of the Broom Star" (a comet which brings disaster).
"Hence, those around him...
will die of a premature death or an unnatural death".
You must not talk nonsense.
This...this is true.
If you don't believe me, you can check.
That's right. My first patient after I joined the Imperial Medical Academy,
he was Mr Huang from the capital.
He suffered from a leg disease for many years.
His legs recovered after my treatments.
He was very happy and went horse riding. In the end,
he fell off and died.
I had another patient who suffered from gastritis for a long time, losing his appetite.
I prescribed some medicines for him and he was cured too.
He was so happy that he threw a banquet.
Just because of a tiny rice glutinous ball, he choked to death.
Let's move back.
If you still don't believe me,
I...I have another patient.
For many years....
he suffered from impotence for many years.
Hence, I prescribed some medicine for him
and he was cured. He then booked the biggest brother in the capital.
In the end, he had so much fun that he died!
Master, master, I really can't become an imperial doctor.
I'm afraid of harming His Majesty!
Master.
Master! Don't be afraid.
I...I was just bluffing.
Come over here.
What are you saying. Come over here.
You were bluffing?
I say, what's wrong with you?
You simply gave up on becoming an Imperial Doctor?
You have now been demoted to a junior doctor without any rank.
That's because I can't bear to leave you, Master.
Look, if you followed Princess Shuncheng to the Ji Manor,
and I went to the palace, when will we see each other again?
Tian Qi, I really didn't waste my energy on you.
You want to stay with me,
to the point of giving up your future.
but you must know,
You are the best student among all the students I have taken under my wing.
You have a talent for studying medicine.
You are showing aptitude in acupuncture, beauty care, and nutrition.
Even I don't think I can compare to you.
Master, you exaggerate.
If you entered the palace's Medical Academy,
you could further your practice of medicine, but now...
As long as I have the will, I can learn anywhere, right?
Master, then... are you willing...
to take me to the Ji Manor?
I can...
but you must know,
the Princess Shuncheng comes from a noble family.
She will eventually become the Mistress of the Ji Manor.
If you serve her,
you need this...
Need how much?
You've got a bad reputation now. You need at least 200-guan.
My master really dares to ask!
How could I have that much money?
What is the matter? Too much money?
Let me tell you: You can't get this job just because you have money.
It's because you are my disciple.
That's how I can shamelessly beg to get you in.
I will go! Two hundred guan right?
I'll go earn it.
Even though going to serve Princess Shuncheng is a good job,
but her future husband, Commander of the Andong Army Ji Heng,
people call him Commander Ji.
They all say this person is extremely hard to deal with.
Because, he is cold-hearted and unpredictable.
He has never lost a battle.
He's known as the the Devil of War.
Is this person really that scary?
I will tell you a secret today.
This Commander Ji can also be considered a duke.
In addition, this person holds military power, being young and talented.
Even the emperor treats him with courtesy.
Why,
serving this kind of master,
do you still want to go to the Ji Manor?
Yes! I want to go!
Even if it's a tiger's den, I will still follow you.
- Great! - Besides - besides, Master, if you meet trouble,
I can help you!
-Then may we last a long time! - Okay!
[Ji]
Like this, I followed my master, Ding Zhi
followed Princess Shuncheng to the Ji Manor.
The Master of Ji Manor, Ji Heng, was out at war the entire time.
And today is the day of his triumphant return.
It's the first time that Princess Shuncheng is meeting Cousin, and she's late!
She hasn't even become the commander's wife yet, and she's striking such an attitude.
Miss Ning'er, Princess Shuncheng is part of the imperial family.
Her marriage with the commander was sanctioned by the King.
Yes, Ning'er.
Even though you've known the commander since young,
Princess Shuncheng, however,
will be the official wife.
That sickhead never goes anywhere without a doctor.
I feel, whether she can actually marry my cousin
is still unknown.
What are you saying? Learn from me, your brother.
Whatever you do, you must be generous.
Princess Shuncheng has arrived!
[Princess Shuncheng]
Sorry I've come late.
Princess, sit a bit sideways later.
I've planned it out before the banquet.
From the commander's point of view, the first one he sees will be you.
You're dressed up so beautifully today,
he will surely be in love from first sight.
You are not only a great doctor but so sly!
- What position did you say I should sit in so that the Commander can see me? - Sideways.
Is this person beside you a eunuch or an imperial doctor?
Letting a man like this serve next to you,
being so intimate, if my cousins sees it might not be so great.
This imperial doctor was given to me personally by His Majesty to take care of me.
Sister Ning'er, are you saying you think His Majesty has selected an inappropriate person?
The Commander has arrived!
On this campaign, I am lucky to accomplish my mission.
Today, I received His Majesty's permission to meet everyone.
I am very happy.
Here, I toast with this cup of wine to thank everyone.
I hope you will drink with me.
Congratulations Commander Ji on your victorious return!
Cheers!
I use my humble skills to ensure people a safe life.
It's all credited to His Majesty's skillful rule over the nation.
In a prosperous time like now, I must cooperate with everyone
to obey the rules, punish vice and praise virtue,
to create a prosperous land where the air is clear and bright,
to protect our people living peaceful lives.
We agree with the commander!
Please take a seat.
Princess, because I've been away at war,
I hope you'll forgive me for not personally welcoming you to my manor.
I often heard that you sent many letters to the army to help me.
I am very thankful.
I am happy to help you with your worries.
Please sit with me, Princess.
Yes.
It's all because she's a princess.
She's not that great.
Congratulations Commander Ji for thoroughly defeating our enemy.
I prepared some beauties in respect
- to dance for you. I hope you'll allow it.
Permission granted.
Princess, please.
How much longer are you going to lay here?
Catch the assassin!
Come, quickly
- Commander, your hand. - It's fine.
Commander, the reason I was laying on you just now
was because...I wanted to save you.
I just saw a knife flash in this assassin's hand.
I then tried to save you with my body.
Who sent you here?
Commander Ji, a servant of mine got sick a few days ago,
so therefore I found a temporary replacement. I didn't know-
Commander Ji, I definitely did not wish to harm you,
Please investigate thoroughly!
What happened to the princess?
Princess! Princess! Princess!
Princess!
Princess! Princess!
The assassin died too!
Young Master, today we failed. In order to protect your identity,
at the incident, the assassin committed suicide before being captured alive.
[Painted Beams Pavilion]
Commander.
How is Princess Shuncheng?
I've just asked. Doctor Ding is assessing her now.
Have you handled the guests?
Commander, you can rest assured. We have handled it carefully.
Reporting to Commander! Princess Shuncheng...Princess Shuncheng...she...
What is it? Spit it out!
She's passed away.
Sorry.
Master.
Are you sleepy?
It's already quite late now.
I don't think anyone else is coming to see Princess.
Go sleep.
Don't worry. I'll be on guard here.
Tian Qi, you're the only one who cares for me.
I can see it now.
Out of all the people in Ji Manor,
the only one who is most loyal to Princess Shuncheng
is you...and me.
Look at those people just now.
Even guarding a coffin will make them run.
Don't be so sad.
Mas-
- Good disciple. - Master!
- You're my good disciple! - Master!
Princess Shuncheng, once a person leaves, the others quickly forget about you.
Don't blame them. It's all normal.
I'll stay with you here.
But...my money...
It's okay. It's just repaying debt.
There must be a way.
Princess.
I remember you once told me
there's a necklace around your neck.
The value is...
priceless and was bestowed by his majesty
Think about it. Money can't accompany one with birth and death.
Why don't I...
Why don't I keep it for you?
Princess!
Princess, pretend I never said anything!
I know I was wrong! Princess, I'm sorry!
I really know my mistake now!
It's because...
I've used up all my money, so I have no other choice.
I'll burn more paper money for you!
Princess, I'll burn it all for you.
Princess.
How dare you!
Commander, I'm sorry!
I didn't know you came!
Please forgive me.
Stand up!
Thank you, Commander.
Raise your head.
Who are you?
My family name is Tian. My name is Qi.
I'm one of Princess's imperial doctor.
Tell me, why are you crying in front of the Princess' memorial
by yourself this late at night?
Doctor Tian, the Commander is asking you a question. Why aren't you answering?
Careful of getting beheaded!
Commander, Princess Shuncheng is an unparalleled beauty.
She suddenly left us like this.
Even an ordinary person will be sad.
Not to say, the princess
shared all her nice interesting things with me.
I - I also treated the princess like my family.
Princess left me like this.
I am really sad, hence I accidentally was rude to you!
Sorry!
Commander, for the sake of Princess Shuncheng,
please spare my life.
You are very loyal. It's fine.
The death sentence can be spared, but you cannot go unpunished.
- Sheng Anhuai. - I am here.
- I leave him to you. - Yes.
Thank you commander for sparing my life!
- Head Attendant Sheng, please don't punish me too hard.
It was really because of the princess that I...
You really are good.
You easily articulated the loyalty
you had for Princess Shuncheng in just a few words.
You also led the commander to walk towards Princess Shuncheng's coffin.
You made the commander not bear to kill
her own servant in front of her grave.
You really... are shameless.
Head Attendant Sheng. It's a misunderstanding!
- It really was because of Princess Shuncheng that I... - Enough.
Doctor Tian, because the commander let you go,
then we'll punish you with a month's salary.
Why is it salary again? Head Attendant Sheng, I may be scraggly
but I can work very hard.
Thank you for your kindness, Head Attendant Sheng.
Princess!!!
I just lost 200-guan.
And now I have lost a month's salary.
I am so unlucky!
However, that I could escape from Commander Ji's grasp,
that counts as a blessing.
It's okay! I'll pretend I donated for karma.
The rumors say Commander Ji is a demon on the battlefield.
He won't blink an eye to kill someone.
But seeing him up close, he doesn't seem that scary.
He's quite handsome.
And...that nice scent he has...
It makes me so nervous I can't even speak.
Tian Qi!
Take it away immediately!
Yes, I will do so immediately.
- Sheng Anhuai. - Yes, I am here.
How much do you know about that imperial doctor named Tian Qi?
Commander Ji, all I know is
he's the imperial doctor that came with Princess Shuncheng.
I don't know anything else.
Tomorrow morning, send someone to the Imperial Medical Academy to investigate him.
Okay.
If I may dare ask,
why are you so interested in that imperial doctor?
Just now, in front of Princess Shuncheng's memorial, when I asked him to stand up,
did you notice the way he looked at me?
Tell me, why are you crying in front of the Princess' memorial
by yourself late at night?
I...
Putting aside why he was mourning for Princess Shuncheng alone late at night,
judging by that guilty look on his face when he looked at me,
his relationship with Princess Shuncheng
definitely isn't as simple as he says.
Commander, do you think
Tian Qi and Princess Shuncheng...
No wonder! The Princess passed away,
and that Tian Qi cried in such pain.
Commander, Princess Shuncheng
was betrothed to you by the emperor.
If the rumours of an affair go around...
Whether or not there was something between them is no longer important.
The important thing is, Princess Shuncheng died in our Ji Manor before our wedding.
If we cannot give His Majesty a good explanation,
the consequences are dire.
[Commander's Manor]
Father!
Zhao'er.
- Father! - Why are you here?
Zhao'er said she misses you. She nagged me to come pick you up and go home together.
Zhao'er misses Father?
Yes! I miss you so much! Are you tired today?
Father isn't tired. Now that I see Zhao'er, I'm no longer tired.
Let's go. Let's go home together.
Let's go. Come on.
Father, Mother. I'll definitely think of a way to continue staying at the Ji Manor.
I will investigate what happened back then.
Young Master, there's something I don't understand.
[Ji Zheng, Young Master of the Ji Family] What is it?
To get home in time for your brother's wedding with Princess Shuncheng,
we rode the horses at full speed overnight and finally reached the city.
But now that we've arrived in the city, you're not going back to the Ji Manor right away.
But instead you have the time to look at scenery on a boat
I've been away for such a long time
Having homesickness is understandable.
What does that mean?
It's exactly what it means literally.
Master, I'm just a lowly person
I can't read between the lines
Can you explain it more clearly?
You don't understand?
Then I'm not telling you. Even if I do, you wouldn't understand.
Young Master, where are you going?
I haven't been back in a while. I want to look around.
You go back to the inn to rest.
