Doctor Tian!
- Sheng Anhuai. - Here.
You take some men to search, too. No need to follow me.
- Commander, this... - Go.
Look over there. Quick.
Doctor Tian!
♫ This wildflower is gradually charming the eyes ♫
♫ The other peach blossoms are all envious ♫
♫ There’s always someone passing by this place ♫
You have to promise Dad that you will...
live on.
Father, I have not been a good daughter. I wasn't able to avenge your and mother's death.
I also didn't listen to your wishes to...
live on.
♫ From the year of blossoming to the moment of falling, ♫
♫ the flower has not said much ♫
Tian Qi. Tian Qi!
Brother.
Ah Zheng.
♫ the flower has not said much ♫
Brother, he's just a small doctor.
If you save him this way,
later, when someone sees this, rumors will start again.
He's the key to the princess's murder case.
He can't die. He's useful to me when alive.
Brother, let me take care of this. You go change.
I will leave it to you.
Who exactly are you?
Why did you crossdress as a man
and come to Ji Manor? What are you up to?
Was... Was it you who saved me?
No.
Let's go and look over there.
He's over here! I've found him!
He's here.
My Lord.
Commander Ji! Commander Ji!
Commander! Reporting to Commander.
We found Tian Qi. He's by Tianshou Pond.
I know.
How did you know?
You rescued him yourself?
At that time, I saw a man in black
trying to throw him into the pond.
The situation was dire and there was no one around so I had to save Tian Qi.
You'll be responsible for investigating the identity of the man.
No... What capabilities and virtues does Tian Qi have
that you needed to personally save him?
If you wanted to save him, you could have just called for help.
Didn't I tell you that there was no one around at that time?
I want you to investigate the identity of the man.
Stop focusing on the wrong thing!
I know this.
I have a question for you.
Say it.
If Tian Qi and I
fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?
I would look to see if you were drowning. If you weren't, I would kick you a few more times to make it happen.
That's right. You're still the commander that I know.
But you personally saving Tian Qi
surprises me.
At the moment, Tian Qi is still of use to me.
I can't let him die.
While saving Tian Qi, A'Zheng saw me.
He knew about the gravity of this matter and stayed behind to handle it for me.
Since he's awake now, I'll go and take a look.
Commander and Young Master both rushed to save a small doctor.
This Tian Qi must have accumulated luck from his ancestors.
It's Doctor Tian.
What's going on?
How is he now?
How could this happen?
That's right.
Greetings, Commander.
What's going on?
I was taking a walk by Tianshou Pond
and saw that Doctor Tian was tied up
and left unconscious by the pond.
How did you fall into the water?
I...
You are blessed by the gods.
You were tied up, drowning, and could still be saved.
You are really very lucky.
Doctor Tian, dare I ask who saved you?
I fainted and was unconscious.
When I was at the bottom of the lake, I felt something pulling me up.
But I couldn't open my eyes
so I didn't see anything.
I once heard there is a hundred-year-old spirit turtle given by His Majesty in this pond.
Perhaps, Doctor Tian was saved by it.
When I was young, I heard my father say that he once personally saw this mythical turtle.
It's not impossible that it saved Doctor Tian.
His hands and feet were tied so tightly. It's impossible he swam up himself.
Isn't that so, Brother?
Enough. You suffered this calamity
and even survived. Consider yourself lucky.
- Men. - Here.
Escort Tian Qi back.
Yes.
It's okay. You wear it.
Thank you.
Tian Qi, I'm telling you! You are lucky with this life.
That commander is also ridiculous. So cold-hearted.
He doesn't care whether I'm dead or alive.
Sihuang powder, rhubarb root,
milkvetch root, coptis root, and yellow bile
can relieve pain
caused by heat in the stomach.
The commander has arrived.
There must be something wrong with my ears.
How could Commander Ji come to my place, right?
Greetings, Commander.
Commander Ji, how come you've come here by yourself?
If you wanted to find me, you could have called for me and I would have gone to you.
Get up.
Yes.
Are there still any problems with your health?
I feel much better now.
It's all thanks to the delicious food you've sent me.
I'm now strong and healthy.
Commander, would you like some tea? I will brew some for you.
I have something to ask you.
When you were tied up and thrown into the pond,
was there anyone you suspected?
Isn't it because of that Sun Dali?
Why are you so sure?
Commander, it's like this.
Sun Dali has a strong stench on him.
It's absolutely unbearable. Last time, when he was chasing me and Young Master,
I could smell it from a distance. It was so hard to endure.
This time, after he knocked me out, he carried me over his shoulder.
I couldn't be completely unconscious because of the smell.
It was completely unbearable.
Sun Dali wanted to harm you, but you didn't die.
However, he still left a letter and committed suicide to escape punishment.
Sun Dali died unjustly, don't you think?
Sun Dali is dead?!
The murderer behind this sure acted quickly to kill him.
This is really too scary!
No, I'm in a dilemma now.
Someone wanted to use Sun Dali's hands to kill me.
But I can't tell the commander.
If I tell him, I must confess about the belt.
If that happens, how can I explain myself?
Sun Dali is dead?
Forget it. I won't blame him anymore.
Commander, is there anything else you need from me?
Nothing urgent.
You haven't recovered and fell into the water yesterday. Have a good rest.
Thank you, Commander.
Take care, Commander.
Sun Dali is dead?
He wouldn't have committed suicide.
Someone wanted to use his hands to get rid of me
and then killed him off.
Who could it be?
Kang Ning'er?
She gets the most benefit after the princess died.
But... would he be that dumb?
You are blessed by the gods.
You fell into the water and could still be saved. You are really very lucky.
Madame Shu?
What good does she get out of killing the princess?
Or... does she also love the commander?
This Ji Manor is too scary.
Brother Wang, I've brought you some delicious food again.
It's already been three days. Really, I have to thank you.
How can you say this? You saved my life.
I can send you food every day!
Here.
I merely pulled aside the bushes,
called your name, and you were there.
I can't be considered to have saved your life.
Drink some water; don't choke.
[Armory]
My stomach hurts a little.
How can that happen?
How about you rest for a bit? I'll keep watch.
Okay. There are confidential documents of the commanders in there.
You cannot go in. It's a death sentence.
Other people cannot go in either. They must have an access badge.
Okay, I know.
Hurry and go! Don't worry. I'll be here.
I can't hold it anymore.
Where's my father's case where he was wrongly accused?
Why isn't anyone guarding the door? Where did Wang Shuwei go?
Who's in there?
It's me.
Greetings, Young Master.
Rise.
I didn't know you were here.
I didn't see anyone at the door, so I came in to take a look.
You are detailed in doing your work. Excellent.
You are here alone. What are you looking for?
The many documents of cases for this manor are kept here.
If you want to check something, I can help you.
No need. I've already brought someone to help.
Come out.
I'm leaving now.
Thank you for saving my life, Young Master.
I happened to be here.
But you shouldn't be so careless next time.
You don't have an access badge. If I wasn't here today,
who knows what would have happened if they found you here.
I'm sorry.
Why are you here?
I heard...
the roster of the staff in the manor is kept here.
so I wanted to come and look for a person.
Who are you looking for? Tell me. Who knows? Maybe I can help you.
I want to find...
I want to find my crush.
I want to check their birth date and when they started working here.
You already have a crush?
Did you... come to the Ji Manor
because of your crush?
If you know, then please don't tell others. It's a secret.
Is he a guard here or... a
servant, or an officer under my brother?
Young Master, what are you talking about? I'm a man.
Of course, the person I like is a woman.
If there's nothing else, then I will leave first.
This must be an excuse. This woman...
is naturally smart and quick-witted.
Now it seems like her objective isn't Elder Brother.
But... why did she sneak in here?
What is she looking for?
Doctor Tian!
I saw you once before, outside the manor.
Young Master, you must have the wrong person.
Ah Zheng!
Commander.
What are you doing here?
The two of you...
[Armory]
Brother, I just happened to run into Doctor Tian here.
I just asked him if he was okay after falling into the water that day.
I'm just a servant. You're so kind, Young Master.
I haven't thanked you yet for letting me use your cloak.
That cloak looks really expensive. I've already washed it.
- Keep it. - Huh?
No. I actually quite like that cloak.
You better return that to me.
Understood.
Ah Zheng, I have never seen you
being so close with someone near me.
What is so special about Doctor Tian?
There's nothing special about him.
Maybe because I find him interesting and we get along well.
Ah Zheng, I have some business to discuss with you.
Later, I will visit you at your place.
Okay.
[Painted Beams Pavilion]
Things really didn't go well today.
Let's not talk about being almost discovered sneaking peeks at confidential documents.
I was even caught by Young Master.
I saw you once before, outside the manor.
What does that mean?
He's seen me outside the manor?
Then, doesn't that mean he knows I'm a woman?
No way. If he knew,
why didn't he expose me? And help me instead?
What is going on?
Finding the murderer has not been very successful,
then comes all these many dangerous issues.
My god, you...
Tell me! Did I treat you poorly?!
I fed and watered you well. When Commander wanted to punish you, I covered for you.
Why do you treat me like this? Huh?!
My precious! My precious! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!
Just maintain this state. Maintain it, don't move.
It's okay that there is only one flower left. It's fine! It's fine!
I'm screwed. I wasn't killed by falling into the water.
But if the flowers all wither, Commander will definitely kill me.
I need to hurry and find out what happened to my father,
then quickly leave this dangerous place.
[Armory]
How are there two people standing guard now?
It looks like I cannot do what I did last time.
Young Master.
So you are here.
What a coincidence. I run into you again.
I was just thinking of when I should return your clothes to you.
No need to choose another day. How about today?
I'll go with you to get it.
N-No. No... No need.
I also happen to have something to ask you.
Young Master, here is the cloak you lent me that day.
I've already washed it.
Help me wear it.
What? Help you wear it?
Yesterday, I slept on my neck in a weird position.
My shoulders are not feeling well either.
I wonder if Doctor Tian is willing to help me wear it?
Okay.
You are so insistent on entering Ji Manor to find a person. Who is he exactly?
Young Master, why do you care about my whereabouts?
I once saw you outside the manor.
You were wearing women's clothes at the time.
Why are you dressed as a man in Ji Manor now?
Young Master, what are you talking about?
How could I wear women's clothing and pretend to be a doctor?
I am absolutely qualified at the Imperial Medical Academy.
Also, I was nearly an imperial physician.
How can I fake that?
Also, you said that you saw me outside the manor dressed as a woman.
It's not possible. Not possible.
Really? Maybe I mistook someone else for you.
But on the second day after Older Brother hosted a banquet for the officials,
who was it that I saw in the market?
You definitely mistook someone else for me.
I couldn't have worn women's attire in public.
Also, at the time Princess Shuncheng just passed away.
I was in the manor all along.
You have mistaken someone else for me. For sure.
I'm doomed! I'm doomed! Looks like I need to come up with an extreme method.
I can't let him run to Commander and tell him that I'm a woman.
What if Commander tells me to strip and inspects me.
I'll be screwed.
I have to do this.
All right.
Young Master, I know that I'm a man with a feminine face.
When I was young, I was always teased by others for not looking like a man.
My parents have cried so much because of this matter.
So I decided that I must enter the Imperial Medical Academy.
But I didn't expect that someone who's open and honest like you
would judge my appearance, too!
I wasn't. I didn't?!
Someone in the manor wants me to die now.
If I don't crack the case, Commander wants me dead, too.
Now you want me to die, too!
When did I want you to die?
You insulted me and defamed my appearance!
I... I...
Death is better than humiliation!
What are you doing? That's dangerous!
You can't do silly things!
I want to kill myself! Let go of me.
Let me die! Let me be at peace!
Let go! Let go of me!
Enough!
I was wrong! I saw the wrong person!
Are you sure?
Yes, I was wrong.
Young Master, see. I already told you that you recognized the wrong person.
In any case, she's not a threat to Older Brother's safety.
I should keep on observing her for now.
Right. I saw the wrong person.
If I offended Doctor Tian in any way just now,
please forgive me.
Young Master, it's good that you understand now.
If this matter were to spread to Commander's ears,
I fear I will get into trouble again.
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone else.
It definitely won't spread to the commander's ears and embarrass you.
Thank you, Young Master.
It's getting late.
I need to serve Commander Ji later.
Looks like I need to take time to plan this out.
Okay, then I will leave first.
Goodbye, Young Master.
Scared me to death!
What are you scared of?
Commander, I recently read some medical books.
You shouldn't look at the light before you sleep. It's bad for your eyes.
It's also not good for your sleep quality. I'll help you blow it out.
So careless! Come here quickly and fan me.
Yes!
[Contentment Room]
Tian Qi, what are you doing?
Master!
Come here! Come on!
Come in! Come in!
What are you doing?
Come in first.
Go inside.
Tian Qi, what are you doing sneaking around?
What am I doing?
I-I am stealing the flower.
You--
The commander said for me to find the culprit before the flower dies. If I don't find it, he will kill me.
What else can I do? Of course, I should steal the flower.
What are you thinking! How dare you try to steal the commander's things?
Where did you get the courage? (T/N: lit: Did you eat a bear's heart and a leopard's guts?)
Then what shall I do, I--
- Master, help me think of something. I beg you. - Enough.
I'm a doctor for people, not flowers. What can I do?
Then, what should I do?
All right, there is one method you could try.
What method?
Pay your respects to the Flower God.
Pay respects to the Flower God?
Did you not read your stories carefully? The books all say
that every flower has its Flower God. So, therefore, this flower also has a Flower God.
You should pray to the Flower God.
Does this even work?
You can give it a try. (T/N: lit: give medicine to a dead horse)
Do you have a better plan?
I-I...
Young Master, I heard some rumors about Doctor Tian.
I don't know whether or not to report it.
Say it.
The commander usually sleeps alone.
His room is also forbidden to the servants. This is something everyone in Ji Manor knows.
However, he allows Doctor Tian to stay by his side and sometimes even let him stay the night.
Even though it only happened once or twice, but there were some inappropriate rumors resulting from that.
I know of this.
Young Master, is the girl in the drawing and Doctor Tian the same person?
Why are you so interested in him?
You can go now. I want to be alone.
Yes.
A lady...
Why would she hide her identity, pretend to be a man, and come to Ji Manor?
No matter why, it's rare to see this kind of determination.
Older brother, did you call for me?
- It's about Tian Qi. - Doctor Tian?
Because Tian Qi was in danger, I can now confirm my suspicions
are right.
Failing to frame him and now trying to kill him.
The culprit will not be at peace if Tian Qi's not dead.
Of the people I trust in the manor, your martial skills are the best. So...
You want me to follow Tian Qi secretly in order to find the culprit.
This is on the one hand.
On the other hand, Tian Qi can be quite clever sometimes.
He probably found some clues. Help me keep an eye on him.
Has Older Brother... found something different between Doctor Tian and other doctors?
Did you find anything?
No, I just found Doctor Tian very interesting.
I am just a little curious about him.
Tian Qi is indeed interesting.
How about this? Help me watch him.
I have a feeling the culprit will definitely make a move.
Yes. If something is strange, I will report it immediately.
Older Brother doesn't look like he's found out Doctor Tian is a girl.
Older Brother, if you have nothing else, I'll take my leave.
This Tian Qi...
Is this Doctor Tian?
Madam Shu.
Are you the Doctor Tian who was saved by a spirit turtle a few days ago?
Yes, Madam. That's me.
I heard that you incurred hatred with someone, and therefore made enemies.
To think that Ji Manor has someone so terrifying...
I was very frightened after hearing it.
You were hit by a stick, it probably hurts a lot.
Please rest well when you go back.
Thank you for your care, Madam.
You are someone serving the commander.
Only when you are in good health can the commander receive the best care.
You don't need to thank me.
I understand. I will take my leave.
You were hit by a stick, it probably hurts a lot.
Please rest well when you get back.
Should I tell the commander that Madam Shu is suspicious?
But to accuse Madam Shu just because of one conversation.
If Commander doesn't believe me, chances are that she might bite me back.
No, I must be careful.
I can only report if I have enough proof.
But will the commander wait until I find the proof?
These petrifying, heart-stopping days,
when will they end?
Commander!
Tian Qi, did you say the truth or not?
The day you fell into the pond, did the spirit turtle of the pond really save you?
Of course, it's the truth!
Master, didn't you read the books? The books say
when a great person encounters great calamity,
there will always be a great beast or god to save them.
Someone great like me, Tian Qi,
being saved by a hundred-year-old spirit turtle is very normal.
Tell me! What does this godly turtle look like?
This godly turtle... how to describe it...
it is very big!
It is this big!
And then, it's also super black!
And then, under the water, its eyes shine a green light!
Its mouth is full of teeth! Its teeth are
sharp and long. Its shell is very dark and heavy
and even shines a golden light! And... it swims very fast.
And then... its looks...
its looks are extremely ugly.
It has a hideous face and ugly teeth.
This-This... can you understand?
Anyway, if I hadn't known it was a spirit turtle, I would've been very scared.
How I wish I was saved by a beautiful girl?
Is this how you describe your savior?
Commander.
Tian Qi, you said the spirit turtle saved you. Is that true?
Yes, it's true.
I-I don't dare lie.
That day, didn't you say you didn't see who saved you?
T-That day, I just came out of the water and hadn't come to my senses.
Once I went back and drank some medicine and thought about it,
I then remembered that in the water I saw something big swim towards me.
I looked clearly, it really was a spirit turtle.
A mythical creature in the legends
is very ugly and scary in your eyes?
Commander, you haven't seen it!
It really was very ugly.
If that's so, I've heard about this mythical turtle since young.
I'm very curious. You said the Spirit Turtle saved you,
then it must be very fond of you.
How about you calling it again,
so I can see what this spirit turtle looks like.
