The Imperial Doctress Episode 10
By the order of the Emperor,
the epidemic has been eliminated. Emperor's imperial edict:
open every city gate.
Honor this
There is another notice. Let's go take a look!
Here. Stick you tongue out for me to see. Ahhhh.
Ok. When you go back, drink some more water.
-Does your stomach still hurt? -What are they saying there?
Them? Emperor gave a decree
the victims who are willing to go back can go outside of Xizhimen T/N: the main northwest gate of Beijing
to receive two taels of silver for travel expenses.
That's a good thing.
Wan Gongfeng, you've rendered outstanding service in this matter.
The Emperor will definitely promote you.
Can rest for a few days is well enough.
Actually our Supervisor Cheng has rendered great service by treating the disease in the city.
That's tiring. He will be rewarded greatly.
Did you want to learn moxibustion?
Use this ginger
to separate Shenque (Spirit Gate) acupoint from Sanyin Jiao (Three Yin Intersection) T/N: Acupuncture terms
Then move it in circle
Ginger-separated moxibustion
is a cure for diarrhea and cold.
It's even more useful than medicine
Especially for the children
Miss. Miss.
I think the city gates are now open.
I'm scared the family members come to pick us up.
Why don't you leave first...
Let me finish learning this first.
Do you feel a bit better?
It really doesn't hurt anymore.
Doctor Hang,
Everyone calls you a living Bodhisttava, and they are right!
No.No. I just learned it from someone.
Wait a bit. I'll try to give you warming acupuncture.
-Yes please. - Zisu,
help me get the silver needles.
But miss, you have to go.
Once I'm done here, I'll leave.
Get that for me so I can use it.
M-Master!
Stand up! You!
Father...Why are you here?
You still have the nerve to ask!
If I didn't come,
I'm afraid you wouldn't know any sense of propriety, justice, integrity, and honor.
Come!
Father!
Miss! Master!
Master! -Come! Master! Slow down!
Come!
Master!
Come!
Father! What are you doing, father?
Father! -Master!
Go in! -Master, what is this for?
Father! -Master!
Give me the lock!
Miss! -Father, let me out, Father!
-Miss! -Gang'er!-Father!
Gang'er
-Let me go, father! -What's going on?
From now on, Miss will live here. -Father!
If not from my command, don't let her outside!
Father!
It's ok. It's ok.
Grandmother! Grandmother! Save me!
Gang'er
-Master -Grandmother!-Please let Miss go
Gang'er
Why don't you just released Yun Xian?
You already locked her up for three days and three nights.
She's never been alone for too long.
For what happened, you really can't blame Yunxian
Abbess Jingci even sent a message.
She said that day, she saw many people died.
So she has no choice,
just to let Yun Xian help.
No.
This time, no matter what I say, can't
let her out.
Before, when she'd talk to a man,
I just let it go. But do you know
what the people in the capital has been saying?
They said that in Yongqing Convent, there's a female miracle doctor
who has cured a thousand patients.
Everybody calls her living Guanyin.
Is it that great?
Yunxian
It's not anything bad!
Mother!
Do think this title
is proper for my daughter?!
That thing that happened with Xu household
already made such an uproar.
But now everyone realized that the living Guanyin is her
If Empress Dowager just inspects it,
she will know our family name is "Tan"
not "Hang".
Things shouldn't have to get to that point.
That's not bad enough?
Mother, when I went to Yongqing Convent,
do you know what she was doing?
She has her hands on a man's leg
touching it!
That... That... That's impossible.
Whether it is or not, you can ask Zisu.
Mother, she doesn't have any shame or chasteness
In other family, she's already been beaten to death!
But now, I
just lock her up hoping she'd ponder over her mistakes
is already a parent's goodwill.
-Yunxian -Grandmother
Lower your voice
Don't let your father hear us.
While your father is sleeping, I brought some snacks for you.
Hurry and eat. Don't starve yourself.
Zisu, hurry
-Grandmother, sit down -bring the snacks over
Grandmother
I'm sorry. I made mistake again.
You're not wrong.
This time, I support you.
Zisu already told me.
You saved a lot of patients when you were in Yongqing Convent.
This is a philanthropic deed.
Your grandfather once said,
"As a physician, you absolutely cannot see people dying and not save them."
If your grandfather is here,
he will definitely praise you.
It's just that...
...sometimes when you do things...
is just too careless
That's why your father is so angry.
You have to be careful in the future!
Got it?
I will talk to your dad about this,
so bear with me for now.
You will be able to leave very soon.
Grandmother,
you always treat me the best.
Because you are my precious.
Hurry. Eat.
Eat some snacks. Hurry.
Grandma, you eat.
-Is it good? -Yes, it's good.
Zisu, Zisu!
Come, come, come. This is your favorite. Come eat one.
I'm not hungry, Miss. You go head and eat.
Come on. Just eat one.
I'm really not hungry. Go ahead and eat. I'll make the bed.
Zisu, why won't you look at me?
I'm not.
Are you feeling unwell?
-No, I'm not. -Look at me.
My father?!
I'm sorry. You got hurt.
It's okay! It doesn't hurt at all.
Hug.
It's okay. I'm okay.
It's okay.
It's windy outside. I'll go close the window.
-Let go of me! -Somebody help!
-Don't shout! It's me! Hel-
Master Zhu!
Just like that. My mother was careless
and caught Cholera.
I've already changed to different doctors. Even imperial doctors already came.
But she's not getting any better.
Miss Hang,
I know that you save countless people at the Yongqing Convent.
Can you come to my house and help save my mother?
It's not that I don't want to help you,
If you asked me to treat a sick person before, I will definitely go right away.
But now...
Don't worry. I definitely will bring you out quietly.
The carriage is in the alley.
Master Zhu
Are you going to take responsibility of taking away our Miss?
Lower your voice
Master Zhu, I understand
your household's madam is sick and is indeed something to worry about.
But why did you have to come in the middle of the night?
Did you know
because Miss without permission gave those victims medical consultations, Master
locked her in here.
I know its unexpected.
But this is really urgent!
You're my last hope.
But I promise
Whether you can cure my mother or not,
I will get you home safely,
and not let anyone know about it.
No, Miss.
If you do it, Master will definitely beat you to death.
Yunxian
For our acquaintance's sake,
help me once, okay?
You can't.
Okay. I'll go with you.
Zisu, hurry, get under the covers and pretend to be me,
and don't come out.
Fine.
-Let's go. Okay
How is it?
Madam has fever since yesterday.
Are there any other symptoms?
She also doesn't have fever continuously.
She's sometimes cold, sometimes warm
She always call out that she's thirsty.
Don't worry. Madam's illness
is not the same as the refugee's.
What medicine does Madam also take?
Based on her condition
The prescription given by the doctors are right.
However the illness has entered stasis... I am also uncertain as to why
Madam hasn't woken up even now...
What shall we do?
She has a very severe fever right now.
Might as well rub her body with alcohol, whose effect can be seen instantly.
-Go do it! -Yes.
You are dutiful to your mother.
Because my mother and I depended on each other since I was little.
But these few years
I haven't been beside her to take care of her.
Actually, my medical skill is just ordinary.
Since you can get people from Imperial Faculty of Medicine,
might as well use a little more money
and invite someone from a higher rank or more useful.
I'm not as capable as you think.
To invite a higher ranked court physician,
for our type of family
Is not very easy.
Then you can also try to get medicine women. They are older and more experienced
For something like gynecology perhaps,
they know more than the other doctors.
Wait
Jiejie
Before madam lost consciousness, did she happen to have her menstrual period?
Say it.
That's right.
That's it.
But why didn't using Chaihu Banxia work? T/N: Chaihu is Chinese thorowax, while banxia is the tuber of pinellia.
Give me madam's chamber pot.
-Chamber pot? -Yes. The one she uses in her room.
Hurry. Give it to me.
-Hurry. Quickly bring it here. -Yes
Put it here.
It seems like what I was thinking.
Help me bring the candlelight closer.
The urine is reddish yellow from blood.
In addition, Madam just had her menstrual period.
That is why the physician thought it was due to high levels of toxic heat.
Yunxian
But it smells so bad,
the cause should be pent up dampness and heat.
Before Madam was in a comma,
did she have trouble peeing?
Yes. Madam said before
Sometimes there's pain
There were times when it won't come out.
That's right
Those physicians didn't have a way to diagnose madam closely,
and could't ask these details like me,
so they could only feel her pulse to deduce her illness,
and thought her unstable temperature was due to toxic heat.
but in reality, because madam was not careful and suffered cold weather,
her bladder was damp and hot,
and she suffered from heat strangury.
That's right. Since that day when Duke Wang came
madam had the window open, moaning and groaning, couldn't sleep all night long.
Early the next day she went to offer incense.
This was written by Song Chao from Huimin Apothecary.
Prescriptions of the Bureau of Taiping People's Bazheng Powder is
effective against heat strangury.
-Just follow this prescription and get some medications. -Okay.
By the way
Even though madam has financial security, but she's getting older after all.
If she uses supplements like donkey hide gelatin and eight treasure porridge daily,
they are good for prolonging life.
Great!
Someone just sent some donkey hide gelatin,
claiming it was cultivated with black donkey hide.
donkey hide gelatin? That's good.
It's a high quality gelatin.
Each of the 5 colours of food help repair 5 different major organ, and black repairs the kidney,
similar to the kidney nourishing effect of silkie.
gelatin made from black donkey hide is highly nourishing.
-Go -Yes
Thank you
You're welcome.
Sorry
This carriage is too small.
It's a bit tight for two people to sit on.
I should just sit out in the front.
There's not need. I don't feel stuffy
Xiao Ma'zi!
Slow down a little. The carriage is jolting.
-Yes -Don't. Let's hurry. It's almost daybreak.
-Hurry up -Okay
Last time in Shuntian Prefecture's prison,
did you suffer a lot?
It was okay. How did you know?
Miss Hang, in order to help you out, our Master
exhausted all methods.
Shut up.
That day, I wondered how Eunuch Wang suddenly came.
So its you?
Why... did you want to help me?
We... we just met once or twice.
Really?
But the first time I saw you
I feel like we are specially close.
When I heard something happened to you, I just want to help you.
♫ Used to think the winter had always been this cold, ♫
♫ unrelated to my stubborn obsession ♫
Just consider me as a blockhead
That way you won't feel uncomfortable ♫ If the heavy snow... ♫
♫...froze everything ♫
♫ I will wait at the beginning, waiting for you to appear. ♫
♫ Perhaps our vows will change, ♫
♫ as will the times ♫

I'll send you in ♫ Constant, yet ever changing even if the world changes ♫
No need. I'll just go in myself.
Okay. Thank you for saving me twice ♫ Even if my complexion ages with time, I am still the young one in white ♫
I will always remember it.

You actually know to come back!
Father
Miss
Father
-Father -Master!
Father, what did I do? I just went to save someone.
-Father -Master!
-Father, listen to my explanation -Get inside!
Even a 10 feet high building can't keep you locked in!
Let's see if the cellar can keep you inside.
Father!
Father, let me go! Father!
Father, let me go!
Gang-er!
Gang'er! You locked the child in the dungeon,
and had someone prepare a coffin... What do you want to do exactly?
Mother! Don't blame me for being ruthless
This sinful child, we can't keep her!
What?
She didn't come back for a night, which is the same as losing her chastity.
Instead of letting her once again become the joke of the town,
I might as well personally relieve her of her shame.
Yunxian is wrong
But she is your own daughter.
You can't. You definitely cannot!
Mother!
For this kind of daughter, its better not to have one!
I've already endured too much for her.
But she still doesn't repent until now.
The third daughter of Official He from Ministry of Personnel is only ten years old,
And when she only took a piece of bread from Xiaosi to eat,
Official He then made her fast!
Disciplining her with the utmost strictness!
Am I, Hang Gang, not comparable to him?
-Gang'er! -Mother!
You may still remember,
"when married yield to husband, after husband's death yield to your sons"! T/N: A traditional Chinese view of women's role as living for men.
Remember this well, if either of you sets one foot into the underground chamber...
you will end up like this cup!
-wha- -Zisu!
Who is Master Zhu?
Tell me!
I don't know!
Father!
I didn't know brother is coming, I came late.
Hope you can forgive me.
No such thing.
So how's Consort Dowager Wu's illness?
Yesterday we hired a great physician
now she's fine.
That's great. Those servants
never told me about Consort Dowager Wu's illness.
I just found out yesterday that you returned.
I wanted to meet with you
to learn what happened, but
about this...I feel apologetic towards you.
I knew you were in Chengzhou working hard for me.
But I...
didn't even take good care of your mother.
This is not your fault.
My mother, only look at things superficially,
always follow around the Empress Dowager causing everyone hate her.
It's natural that you don't like her.
But, according to the rules of the past,
my Consort Dowager mother can only be treated by the ordinary physicians.
Brother,
no matter what happens in the future,
I beg you to take me in consideration,
and give my Consort Dowager mother a chance to live.
Of course.
This time, if it wasn't for your timely delivery of food,
the matter with the disaster victims would have been difficult to manage.
Even though I got the imperial jade seal,
and took control of some people who used to follow her.
But there's still not enough usable ones.
Qiyu, I hope you can return to the capital,
come help me.
Yes.
It's almost the twelfth lunar month.
Why don't you just use the excuse of taking care of Consort Dowager Wu,
and stay for the new years.
If the Empress Dowager has any movement,
-you can follow her for me. -Ok.
Brother, before I always thought you and the Empress Dowager just have a deep misunderstanding.
I even wanted to help you resolve the misunderstanding.
But who knew the Empress Dowager would really not care about all the citizens.
Brother, when I'm at the capital
we can't seem too close.
Or the Empress Dowager would definitely be suspicious.
Don't worry. I understand.
Qiyu, are you sure you want to live here?
The Grand Empress strictly ordered my mother to never set foot back in the palace again.
It's better if I stayed here with her.
Brother can save me a place in the palace.
Okay, then take care of yourself.
I will leave now.
Xiao Shun'zi, let's go.
Your Highness.
Someone from Yongqing Convert just delivered this letter,
said Abbess Jingci is not around
and it contains confidential information for you so you must take a look.
Yuanxian is locked up by her father, please find a way to help her.
Oh no!
Your Highness!
Gang'er
Even though Abbess Jingci is not at the convent,
but all the nuns at the convent said they can be witnesses.
Master Zhu is very close to Abbess Jingci.
Right now even though we don't know what's Master Zhu's background.
But, a person liked by Abbess Jingci
is never wrong.
Gang'er, let Yunxian out.
You already locked her up for a full day.
I can promise
that when Abbess Jingci comes back,
I will go to Zhu Manor.
No matter what, I will make him marry her.
No!
That Master Zhu is of high born.
We can't do that.
If word gets out about it, people will say that I am
shameless, threatening him using our kindness.
Then...then...
Then you can't really push Yunxian into a corner.
She's only seventeen!
All she did was treating that guy's illness.
Mother!
Without this daughter, another daughter can be born.
But if my reputation is ruined,
doesn't matter how many more years
Tang family's reputation cannot be re-build.
Her living bodhisattva nickname,
has already been spread to the Ministry of Defense!
Now the kind of looks everyone give me,
Mother do you even know?
Master,
there is a minister outside who's in a hurry to see you.
Minister, Hang Gang at your service.
You are Hang Gang?
What's wrong?
Nothing. Nothing. I'm just a little scared.
You are really a minister?
Why are you hiding your face?
Confidential Matter.
Your subordinate Official is oversensitive. Please forgive me, Minister.
By the order of Eunuch Wang, I am summoning your daughter, Yunxian, into the capital with discretion.
My daughter?
Your subordinate Official will of course obey the order.
But my daughter has unfortunately fallen ill last night.
Really?
Only just last night, I escorted Hang household's Yunxian to the palace to treat our nobility.
Why did I not see any discomfort in her?
Last night...?
Last night, it was you?!
That's right. Last night, within the palace, there was a nobility who was ill.
As such, His Majesty has ordered me to escort Tan household's Yunxian to the palace to treat the illness.
What? You're not happy about this?
I wouldn't dare.
Zisu!
Hurry! Go and bring Miss here!
Yes, Master!
Miss! Miss!
Miss! Wake up! Miss!
Miss!
Miss! Master Zhu came to save you!
Miss! Wake up!
Miss! Hold on for a little longer! Master Zhu came to save you! Miss!
Yunxian,
listen to me. Don't hate your father.
Your father is cruel and said that he wanted to starve you,
but when he say you faint, you won't know
how worried he was. He even carried you back.
He is worried for you.
After all, reputation is the most important thing for women.
You snuck out in the middle of the night
and didn't come back until the next day.
Which father wouldn't be angry or worried?
But I didn't go out to do bad things.
I'm there to help treat the sick.
Enough.
Yunxian, right now, you have to honestly tell me
who he is
and why he came to save you.
You have to tell me.
This concerns your marriage.
My marriage?
You...
You sneak out in the middle of the night
and stayed with him the whole night. If you don't marry him,
who would you marry?
But, but nobody knows about it.
Your dad knows.
I know. Heavens know.
If you really cured him mother's sickness,
then he has to marry you.
That's the way to complete the integrity of your name.
Grandma, what's the link?
We are only friends.
Just friends?
Yunxian, you are raised by grandmother since a young age.
Although you are a little braver than others,
but with the eloping matter,
if you don't already regard him as a...
a, what...special person,
then you definitely will not be up to it.
Yunxian,
this time i have to scold you.
As a proper household's daughter, how can you, without clarity,
just follow anyone to treat illness?
What happened to your upbringing?
Where has your reservation gone?
I...I...
That day, Physician Hang was here treating patients,
but was arrested by her father.
From then on, no one has seen Physician Hang treating any sick person.
Also, no one has seen physician Han since then.
Thank you.
Brother, if you want to look for her, it's easy.
At most, we can just go to her house to look for her.
This is Central Plains.
The ladies in Central Plains are mindful of upbringing.
Usually, they can't even leave the house.
How will they casually go and meet a man?
Moreover,
we can't take the risk since the refugees are being monitored these few days.
That can't be!
I feel she isn't too mindful about it.
Oh right!
Didn't she feed you medicine herself?
That's why I said that
she isn't like other girls.
'Live Goddess of Mercy'. We'll meet again.
Yunxian.
Can I talk to you?
Why are you here?
I'm worried about you.
Are you better now?
I'm really thankful for yesterday.
Please wait a moment.
You can come in.
What?
I don't want to affect your reputation.
Just come in.
It's cold outside, and it's hard to talk.
How is your mother?
She is getting a lot better.
She only needs to rest.
Thank you.
Then...What do you have to talk to me about?
I heard everything that
the Old Madam just said.
You...
How could you eavesdrop?!
Yunxian! Listen to me first.
I think she is right.
I wasn't being considerate,
That's why it negatively affected your reputation.
Also caused you to suffer hardship.
If you don't mind...
I am willing to marry you
Without hesitation.
It's okay! It's okay!
Don't put my grandmother's words on your mind!
She didn't mean it like that.
-I didn't mean it like that. -Yunxian,
It's not solely because I want to take the responsibility
that I ask you to marry me.
Ever since last time you saved me,
I started to like you.
I can still remember you were very nervous at that time.
But you still tried sincerely to treat me.
At that time, I felt that you were really beautiful,
just like Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy.
I...not at all.
Later, your horse had a fright, and we met again.
I was thinking, such a big capital,
how did we repeatedly meet each other?
I think my luck must be very good.
Then later, at Yongqing Convent, we once again met.
At that time, my thought was, it definitely can't be about luck.
It must be some destined forces,
always pulling us together.
Stop talking, okay?
Yunxian,
I absolutely won't let you become a nun.
Give me a chance!
Let me protect you. Let me take care of you.
But...who are you really?
I still don't know.
Actually...
I'm not a salt merchant.
I'm a royal,
so I could disguise myself as Embroidered-Uniform Guard not long ago.
So when we first met, Eastern Depot's people were chasing me to kill me.
But now all the misunderstandings are resolved.
There won't be any more trouble in the future.
You're a royal...
NO!
Our status are too different.
It's not!
I'm actually not much of an elite.
I still have an older brother. I myself was only born by a concubine.
That day, the one you saved was my biological mother.
If you feel that the gap in our status is too large,
then there's only one reason.
You dislike my status as the child of a concubine.
I'm not!
So you're willing?
My apologies.
I'll let you think about it for longer.
If you're willing,
hang a red handkerchief on the window sill.
If you're unwilling, hang a white handkerchief.
No matter what your decision is,
all I want to tell you is that
my feelings for you are true.
