♫ I don’t understand the knotted strings in my heart ♫
♫ I can at least face it with a smile ♫
I won't be shy then. I love sweet desserts.
It's so delicious. Why don't you...
Are those your beads?
What's wrong? Have you seen them before?
I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.
But...
Where did you see them?
I need to find the owner of this buddha bracelet. Quickly try to recall.
Where did you see them?
Isn't this Doctor Tian?
Are you two talking about love
in broad daylight?
You even said Commander Ji fancied her.
I think you fancy her instead!
You go back first.
But...
This is the Ji Manor. Let's see what he dares to do.
Everything's fine. Leave now.
Then please be careful.
What are you trying to do?
You are right.
In Ji Manor, I can't do anything to you.
But I will throw you outside the Ji Manor later.
Just see what I'll do to you!
Chase him!
- Stop! - Help!
Get out of the way!
Let's see where you can run to!
Stop!
Stop there! Stop!
Stop there!
Stop!
Watch out!
Why are you here?
Let's see where you can run to!
Are you okay?
Attack him!
Stop!
Who's so bold to disrespect the marquis?
He is Commander Ji's younger brother.
Ji family's young master, Ji Zheng.
Commander Ji's biological younger brother?
Young Master, are you hurt?
I'm fine.
Isn't this...?
Young Master, what just happened?
Sun Dali! You're really something!
You even dare to attack the marquis! Are you tired of living?!
Y-Y-You what?! We all saw it.
If the marquis didn't use his hand to bravely block it,
he would've been hurt. You would be dead, understand?!
Aren't you going to ask for forgiveness?
Lord, please spare my life! Please spare my life!
Fortunately, you helped in the nick of time.
You're still bleeding.
No worries! I'm fine. It's a small scratch.
You should find a doctor to look at it.
No need. I am the manor's doctor.
I will treat myself.
As for you, I will spare you for this time, but you better not forget.
You are...
I'm Tian Qi.
You are Tian Qi?
Doctor Tian is my savior.
If you try to bother him again
and create trouble, I will tell my older brother.
If he doesn't deal with you, I will.
Thank you for your kindness, Lord.
What? What are you looking at?
Looking at me?
Chase?! Who are you chasing?
You are all screwed! And you dare to beat me. I'll teach you a lesson!
You didn't even check and dared to bully me?
If it weren't for me, the marquis would have cut you to pieces! Get it?
I saved your little lives.
Remember this well. Do you hear me?!
This got loose when I was running just now.
I didn't expose myself, did I?
Doctor Tian.
Chun Hua?
Does it still hurt?
No, not anymore.
But, Chun Hua, is this your first time bandaging someone?
You're as good as a doctor.
I've served the master since I was young and picked up some tips.
But I've always had an interest in medicine.
Really?
But as a lady, it's not proper.
Who says ladies can't learn medicine.
My master was a woman.
Your master, isn't it Doctor Ding?
I met Doctor Ding when I first joined the Imperial Medical Academy.
The teacher I'm referring to, she taught me from the beginning.
So, the teacher who taught you medical skills, was a woman?
That's right. So I don't see why women can't learn medicine.
Also, my master was really skilled.
My master is the best out of all the doctors I've seen.
Even though she's a woman, she's a hundred times better than Doctor Ding.
Please, don't ever look down on yourself.
Why are you smiling? Did I say something wrong?
I'm just thinking you're the first person to hear me say this
and not laugh at me.
Then I won't bother you, I'll leave first.
Okay, I'll walk you out.
Did you personally plant the herbs in the garden?
By the way, Chun Hua,
did you remember where you saw this?
I remember someone used to carry this in the Ji Manor.
In Ji Manor? Where in Ji Manor?
What do they look like? Are they still here?
You're asking so quickly, I don't know which one to answer first.
Oh, then take your time.
I still can't remember.
I just vaguely remember there was this person.
But who exactly it was, I still can't recall.
If you see him again, could you recognize him?
I probably could.
Sorry, I'm not of much help to you.
Not at all! You've helped me a lot with what you've said today.
I originally planned to give up.
But listening to what you've said today, I've gotten hopeful again.
I will get the roster for the Ji Manor later.
Are you willing to help me identify him?
Of course, I will.
But why are you so persistent in finding this person?
Could he be your long lost relative?
No, I can't tell you yet.
I can only say that thid person is really important to me.
I must find him.
Young Master, are you looking for me?
Let me ask you. That day, I told you to go to Wang Hong Brothel to return the item.
Did you personally see that girl?
I didn't. The boss said she went out.
But the Doctor Tian, whom we met in Ji Manor today,
looks exactly like that young lady in the painting.
They are probably not the same person. One is a male doctor and the other is a young lady.
The difference is too great.
This may not be necessarily so.
It seems like this Doctor Tian has many secrets.
Xu Jin, help me check Doctor Tian's background.
Also, investigate the Wang Hong Brothel, too.
Yes.
Young Master, do you suspect Doctor Tian and that young lady in the painting to be the same person?
If they are, we will find the answer after our investigation.
By the way, be extra careful when you check his background.
Carry it out secretly.
I understand.
Young Master, there's something I wonder if I should say.
Speak.
You seem to be particularly interested in that young lady in the painting.
From what I know of you, you are not one who meddles in other people's business.
With regards to that young lady, are you...
Nonsense. I'm merely...
I understand. I'm going to do it now.
What do you understand? I'm not done talking yet.
This is not right. What's wrong with me lately?
Could it be I have too much leisure time?
[Painted Beams Pavilion]
1... 2... 3.
How many times are you going to count?
No matter how you count, it's still the same.
Commander Ji, you may not know that
there were still four flowers left yesterday.
Do you think I secretly plucked them?
Not like it's impossible.
If I wanted your life, why would I need to secretly pluck them?
Just one word of mine and your head will fall!
Commander Ji, please forgive me.
Lift up your head!
Who are you mourning?
Commander Ji, I... I...
knocked my head on the door frame yesterday and injured myself.
Stand up.
I'm telling you to stand up!
You are really interesting. With your head,
you were able to hit the door frame?!
Did you go through a dog door?
Commander, you are worrying too much.
This is the manor of a military general.
Why would there be a dog door?
I hate being deceived the most.
If I find out someone deliberately deceived me...
I wouldn't dare.
Aren't you going to tell me the truth then?
To be honest, I...
I quarreled with someone yesterday and said some words.
That person went after me and hit me.
To put it simply, you had a fight?
You are a doctor. Instead of treating people,
what are you doing all day?!
Commander, please spare my life.
Enough!
Stand up. I have something to ask you.
Did you finish the investigation I told you to conduct?
Even if I don't do anything to that flower, it won't last for long.
Do you still want your life or not?
Commander, I was diligent in pursuing the investigation
but that murderer hasn't shown up yet.
I haven't been negligent. Commander, please understand.
Never mind. Go back to work.
Yes.
Wait.
Mark my words. Your life is mine.
If I don't let you die, don't seek death on your own.
I will remember this.
Commander.
- Sheng Anhuai. - Here.
Why did Tian Qi clash with others yesterday?
About this... he...
Report truthfully to me.
Yes. Commander, I have already checked.
Ever since you punished Sun Dali,
he has been discontent.
He saw Doctor Tian talking to Miss Kang's maid,
Chun Hua, in private. That was the reason for the clash.
Are you saying they fought over a woman due to jealousy?
Not that.
I believe Doctor Tian is kind and
wanted to help Chun Hua, just like last time.
Oh, by the way, I have something else to report.
The injury on Doctor Tian's head wasn't due to fighting.
When Sun Dali chased after Doctor Tian,
he knocked into Young Master.
Doctor Tian was injured when he protected Young Master.
Tian Qi injured himself saving Ah Zheng?
That's what everyone is saying.
That Doctor Tian was heroic and protected his master.
What do you mean?
Doesn't he know who his master is?!
Commander, you are right. Perhaps, Doctor Tian didn't think too much about it.
He just didn't want anyone to get hurt.
Cousin.
Ning'er, why are you here?
Commander, Miss heard that Sun Dali
beat up your personal doctor, Tian Qi.
She was afraid you would blame us for this.
Hence, she came to report to you.
Please be understanding.
I reprimanded Sun Dali yesterday.
I flogged him, too.
I'm here today to see
if Doctor Tian is fine.
- Sheng Anhuai. - Here.
Tell Tian Qi to come out and let my cousin see him.
Yes.
Miss Kang.
Chun Hua, go to my room later
and bring the best supplements for Doctor Tian.
Yes.
Cousin, it has been a long time since you've visited my place.
If you are available today...
Since you knew about this matter early on,
why are you only confessing now?
Also, where is Sun Dali now?
Cousin, I have already punished him...
Sun Dali's mistake is not just as simple as fighting.
He almost injured Ah Zheng yesterday!
Not only that, Sun Dali has created trouble in the manor several times.
Your maids have all been bullied by him, too.
Is this true?
Yes.
I know Sun Dali was brought here by you and your brother from the Kang family.
He's like your old friend.
But if you go easy on him, it will harm your reputation, too.
I didn't know it was that serious.
I failed to handle him properly. Please forgive me, Cousin.
I will handle this on your behalf.
Ning'er, I have something to deal with. You go back first.
I'll visit you on another day.
Yes. I'm leaving.
Miss Kang's feelings for Commander are
not as simple as a relationship between a brother and sister.
I wonder what this cold face Commander thinks about all this.
What are you looking at?
I was looking at her.
It seems like not only a beautiful woman can make people look back a few times.
It's the same for a handsome guy, too...
Full of nonsense.
You fought with the people in my manor. I haven't even said how I will punish you.
I... You are still going to punish me?
I'm already injured, Commander.
Don't let me get beaten again.
Don't deduct my reward money either.
Since you love to be punished, let Sheng Anhuai arrange your punishment then.
Head Attendant Sheng.
Are you stupid? Commander doesn't really want to punish you.
He was merely teasing you.
Commander. Commander!
You are the best person in this world.
I will take care of you forever!
I... I... I... You are my God!
Madam, I just heard that Miss Kang went to explain the fight between Sun Dali and Doctor Tian
to Commander Ji.
This Tian Qi really is highly favored.
When he was wronged, even the bossy Kang Ning'er rushed to explain to Ji Heng.
Kang Ning'er is Old Madam's niece
and Ji Heng's younger cousin.
Commander just returned to the manor.
Miss Kang was probably using this as an excuse to see him,
but she was dismissed by him.
But I heard
Commander Ji say that Sun Dali clashed with the Young Master yesterday.
It seems like he's going to punish Sun Dali.
By the looks of it, the grudge between Sun Dali and Tian Qi
is pretty serious.
That's right. Anyway, it's none of our business.
Sun Dali works for Miss Kang.
At worst, Miss Kang will probably hate Tian Qi now. (T/N: lit. idiom is "view as a thorn in one's eyes")
This can benefit us.
Madam, are you saying...
Come here.
Madam, would this be...
This is a once and for all method.
Just do it accordingly.
Yes. I will go do it immediately.
Master,
I will definitely help you fulfill your wish for revenge.
By then...
[Contentment Room]
I didn't expect Tian Qi's medicine to be so effective.
Commander, it's time to sleep.
Commander, let's not use the fan today. Let's use another method.
What do you mean?
I have a new treatment. Wait a moment.
Look! This is made from the scent of wormwood.
After lighting it, just let it diffuse across your body.
It's said to be effective for calming the nerves.
Let me be so bold to try it on your body.
Perhaps, it may be more effective than the fan.
Could it be that your hands are tired from fanning?
How can they be? I serve you every day.
Every day, I think about
how to help you sleep soundly, eat well,
dress warmly, and be in a good mood.
How do we try it?
Commander, take off your clothes off first.
Who knew that noble Commander who lives so comfortably
would have experienced such wounds?
Commander,
why don't you put your clothes back on again?
One minute, you want me to undress; and the next, you want me to put them on again.
Do you know how to treat me or not?
Lie on your stomach.

Commander, sorry. I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
Are you trying to burn me to death?
What are they doing?
Lie down.
Does it feel comfortable?
[Military Commander's Manor]
- Did you hear about yesterday? - About what?
I heard Commander wants Doctor Tian
to serve him in bed every night.
Are you being serious?
It's definitely true.
No wonder Commander doesn't get close to women.
It's because he likes his own gender.
- Is this for real? - It's true.
I didn't expect him to be like this.
Commander is so good looking. Does he really like Tian Qi?
It's like a fresh flower sticking to cow's manure.
Tian Qi?
I also heard that when in bed,
Commander Ji is the submissive one.
How is that possible?
It's true. This information came from Commander Ji's room.
When Doctor Tian served him, he even screamed loudly.
Is this for real?
[Painted Beams Pavilion]
What did you say?
Brother, I heard rumors in the manor that you treat Doctor Tian
unlike others.
Who's spreading this rumor?
I will cut off their tongues.
Brother is so angry.
Seems like he doesn't know that Tian Qi is actually a girl.
Brother, don't be angry.
When you transferred Tian Qi here to be your personal doctor,
wasn't it all a ploy to cause the murderer to be nervous?
Although the current rumor is absurd,
but think about this. If the murderer now
thinks that Tian Qi is being favored, would he sit still?
Enough. Stop talking about this.
Don't let me hear this ridiculous rumor again.
Whether we draw the murderer out or not,
if you hear this kind of rumor again,
deal with it directly. No need to ask me.
I understand.
By the way, Brother, when Tian Qi is serving by your side,
do you find anything strange about him?
Strange?
I think he's strange from head to toe,
but his medical skills are not bad.
Why do you ask this?
Did you find something wrong?
No. I'm just concerned about you.
After all, he's the one who's always by your side serving you.
If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now.
[Contentment Room]
Commander, I heard the poison which killed the princess
was developed by Doctor Shen Qingyun who worked in the manor before.
Why are you asking this?
Didn't you want me to investigate the murderer?
I'm looking for clues.
Based on what you said, this kind of drug shouldn't be passed down.
Do you know if there's anyone else in the manor who knows its formula?
Doctor Shen didn't leave any descendants.
The formula for this drug has already been lost a long time ago.
As for how the murderer obtained it, I will get to the bottom of this.
I also heard that Doctor Shen was unjustly wronged and exiled that year.
Don't talk about your predecessor. If you talk about this again,
just get out.
As for how the murderer obtained this drug
and used it on the princess, I will track it down myself.
As for you, your task is just to draw out the murderer. Mind your own business.
I...
I was doing that to find the murderer, too.
Commander, why don't we try the ear candles?
I heard it's more effective than the wormwood and more calming on the nerves.
You want to try something else?!
Commander. Commander!
I definitely won't hurt you today.
Trust me, okay? I already tested it.
I...
Start fanning.
Commander, I'm really thinking on your behalf.
I can fan during summer but what should I do during winter?
- You can warm my bed in winter. - Huh?
I'm saying, you can warm my bed before me.
I'm not telling you to sleep with me.
I understand. I didn't have any other intentions.
Wait.
You don't need to serve me today. You can go back.
I wanted to ask you this before.
There's a scent on your body. It's rather familiar.
It's not the scent from herbs.
It's like the scent of a flower.
It must be this.
This is the scent of gardenia.
When I was young, my family planted gardenias.
I picked them and made them into sachets.
I have always worn them, so it's become a habit.
I haven't changed even when I joined this manor.
You are a grown man. Why do you carry this with you?
Your whole body reeks of fragrance.
It's still better than being smelly.
You...
Enough. Leave the sachet behind and you can go.
Commander, if you like this, I can make one for you.
I told you to leave it here.
Yes.
I'm leaving now.
I don't believe that I can't sleep well without you.
He's definitely not the answer to the problem,
but this scent that can calm the nerves.
I fan him every day till my arms are going to be crippled.
I'm dead tired.
It's not the sachet nor the scent.
Could he really be the reason?
How can it be?
Commander, had a nightmare again?
Should I get Doctor Tian to come and serve you?
No need.
Forget it.
Let him come.
Yes.
[Contentment Room]
Commander, as you have foreseen, the murderer made his move.
Doctor Tian is missing.
Seems like someone can't sit still anymore.
Lock all the gates and send people to guard them closely.
Lead men to conduct a search.
Even if you need to turn over the whole manor, you must find him!
Yes.
Doctor Tian!
- Did you find him? - No.
Commander, don't worry. I already sent men to lock all the doors.
No one can enter or leave.
If the murderer really harmed Tian Qi, he won't be able to escape either.
That may not be so.
What if the murderer is from the manor?
Understood. Doctor Tian!
If Tian Qi can wait till help arrives,
try your best to save him.
Yes, Commander.
Young Master, I have something to report.
You wanted me to check Doctor Tian's background.
A report just came in that he has gone missing.
Commander has ordered that the manor be sealed and searched.
- Let's lead a team and look for him immediately. - Yes.
Young Master, let me handle this.
You don't need to personally go.
Young Master!
Doctor Tian!
Quickly! Look over there!
Okay.
No one's there!
No one's here either. Doctor Tian!
Doctor Tian!
Did you find him?
Doctor Tian!
We can't find him!
Keep looking!
- Sheng Anhuai. - Here.
You take some men to search, too. No need to follow me.
- Commander, this... - Go.
Yes. You both, come with me.
Doctor Tian!
Did you find him?
No
