Move!
Doctor Hang. Doctor Hang.
He won't have any pulse soon.
Then what should we do?! Acupuncture! Acupuncture!
Don't talk!
I'll try something first.
Doctor, we have tried Mongolian medicine, but it was useless.
Shut up!
Dage. Dage. Dage!T/N: "dage" is an endearing term used to address older males
Why are you crying? It's not the time to grieve yet. He still has a heartbeat.
Move. Move!
Wait! Doctor Hang, what are you doing?
Heart is the center of blood. Tongue is the seedling of heart.
Even though "Yu Ye" and "Jin Jin" are outside of the seven channels and eight veins,T/N: "Yu Ye" and "Jin Jin" are names of two acupuncture points in the oral cavity.
but letting blood with silver needle outside them, in addition to the severe pain, can wake up many unconscious patients.
You two turn around!
He is showing a response.
-Grand Preceptor!-Dage.
Grand Preceptor, you're awake!
Dage is awake.
General Boyan, I hope you remember your promise to me.
Doctor Hang, you really are a miracle doctor.
Miracle doctor! Miracle doctor.
Dage.
-Grand Preceptor!-Dage.
Fainting or being dizzy are symptoms of phlegm disease.
After he wakes up, you can try to use moist gallblader soup*,T/N: the name of the medication
on top of that white puncture vine, red nut sedge, tangerine pith to relieve dizziness and clear away obstruction in the liver.
Go grab the medications on this prescription.
Now you can release our Emperor.
Are you done?! Are you done?!
-Your Majesty!-I need to go save Yunxian!
-Your Majesty, please calm down.-Your Majesty.
HURRY!
Empress Dowager has arrived!
What happened to you, Yu'er?!
-Greetings, Your Majesty.-Have you found them?
Report, Your Majesty. Among the chaotic troops...
Go look again! Look for Brother Emperor and Yunxian no matter the cost!
I understand Your Majesty's order.
How did you get injured like this? How did it happen?
How did it happen?! Didn't Yunxian die?! How could she be with Oirat people there?!
Who gave you such big guts to trick me?!
She is still alive?! I really didn't know!
Summon Liu Ping'an for me!
Wait! I will personally go to the South Palace and look for Sister-in-Law to clarify this!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Dage!
Dage! Are you all right?
He is all right. He will be fine as soon as he coughs out bloody sputum.
How is it, Dage? Do you feel any better?
Do you still remember me?
I'm fine. How's the situation outside?
Dage, don't mention it.
This Ah Ga Duo... unexpectedly dares to say that I'm dead.
I must shatter him to ten thousand pieces!
Oh, right.
Just now, was it her who saved me?
Dage,
this time luckily there was Doctor Hang.
If it weren't for Doctor Hang giving you that kiss, I'm afraid you would be...
She kissed me?
Yes.
It doesn't hurt, right?
It doesn't.
Ye Xian can be considered a hero. Just got struck by a lightning, but he can be full of vigor like this so soon.
Grand Preceptor is alive! Grand Preceptor is alive!
Grand Preceptor is alive!
Yunxian, I don't have any other motive. What you did today was right.
Saving Ye Xian's life and letting him and Ah Ga Duo have an internal conflict
would make the capital safe.
But right now we...
Zheng Qi, do you think Qiyu can save us?
He can. He definitely can.
You saw how mighty he was today. Heavens have eyes.
You see, Ye Xian wanted to kill me today, so he got struck by a lightning.
That Cheng Shisan who deserved to die sowed discord and was stabbed to death by me.
All things considered, I avenged your grandfather on your behalf.
You killed Cheng Shisan?
He sowed discord in front of the troop formation,
saying Qiyu collided with Yu Dongyang to usurp my throne.
Impossible! Qiyu and my godfather are not that kind of people.
I know. To be honest,
before I killed Cheng Shisan, I have doubted Qiyu's intentions succeeding to the throne.
But later, Qiyu swore in front of everyone that
as long as I could be saved, he would not only give up the throne, but also cut his own throat to prove his innocence.
Don't be afraid. Since Qiyu is sincere toward me, I also think he absolutely wouldn't do that.
I'm really ashamed.
Even though you've always consoled me,
but I still...
I understand. If it were me, I would also be like this.
Therefore, you must believe
that Qiyu definitely can save us.
However,
we also need to prepare
if Ye Xian ascends to power again...
Forget it.
Worst comes to worst, it's only a life.
His Majesty is fine?
Is His Majesty really fine?
His Majesty is really all right.
Sister-in-law, sit down first.
Sister-in-law,
can you first tell me what exactly happened with Yunxian?
Your Majesty, please let me report to you in place of my lady.
That day the current Empress, or Princess Anhe at that time
Continue.
If you want your father to come back safely, you must settle it soon yourself.
Otherwise, even if your father didn't die in the hands of Oirat people,
he will die before he comes back to the capital, and his corpse won't be intact.
Xiao Ma'zi, summon Empress to enter the Palace immediately for me. I will kill that Wang Meilin!
Qiyu!
Your Majesty, Ye Xian died but came back to life. He neutralized Khan Ah Ga Duo again.
Now, there are hundreds of troops deployed.
Retired Emperor is still in their hands.
My troops don't dare to pursue and attack them hastily.
Also, Yunxian is with the retired Emperor.
Your Majesty, worry not. Yunxian is well.
I unexpectedly couldn't save her.
Couldn't save her...
Your Majesty, it's not the time for distress.
I forsee that Ye Xian will make a dire mistake and retreat to the Oirots.
Now, we must reinforce Beijing.
From there, deploy more troops, so they can cooperate.
Xiao Ma Zi, call Shi Heng.
Yes.
Your Majesty, do you still want to punish Empress?
Your Majesty, you want to punish Empress?
This is...
Official Yu,
Since you are Yunxian's godfather,
I will not keep you in the dark.
Doesn't this kind of people deserve to die?!
Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot kill the Empress!
Since ancient times until now, there has never been an emperor who kills his empress.
If I don't kill her, how could I not let Yunxian down?!
Duke Wang himself carries the important position of being responsible for military supplies.
If anything bad happens to Empress, I worry that there will be a misfortune.
Then I will depose her!
What's the difference between killing and deposing?
Your Majesty, Empress is the nation's mother.
If she didn't do anything immoral, how can you remove her from position.
Right now Oirat is an unsolved danger. If Your Majesty acts this way, you will shake the country's foundation.
It's lucky that you are Yunxian's godfather.
Don't tell me you don't want to vent your anger for her.
Your Majesty, I can help, but I cannot put my faith in this.
Even if Yunxian were here, she would also agree with me.
Dage.
Come here!
I passed out for a few hours,
and you killed four of my senior generals.
Fine, Khan.
You really have the style of a Royal descendant.
So what? Kill me if you can!
Go!
If you didn't have royal blood,
I would have killed you a long time ago.
But don't worry.
Your desire will be realized soon.
Right now, I'm a person blessed by the Heavens.
Struck by lightning and didn't die.
If this news spreads out,
Even if you're descended from royal blood,
so what?
Go!
Oirat soldiers! Take a look!
Isn't our Grand Preceptor well?
Long live Grand Preceptor! Long live Grand Preceptor!
Heavens warned
me to not kill the Great Ming's Emperor.
I know my mistake.
But similarly,
Heavens let me, Ye Xian,
to not die despite getting struck by lightning. This is also to tell you
I, Ye Xian,
am also someone who receives Heaven's blessings.
Long live Grand Preceptor! Long live Grand Preceptor!
Evil traitor Zhu Qiyu is not willing to return the throne.
I, Ye Xian, could only send Great Ming's emperor back to Oirat temporarily.
Next year
we will fight again!
Dage, are you okay?
Brothers! let's return to the Oirots!
Are we really retreating?
Heavens did not help me.
It seems that us coming to Beijing this time was a wrong decision.
Just then, I was suppressing it.
Let's just first go back to Wang Ting.
Clean up first Agatuo's faction for now.
Dage, how about we release that Zhu Qizhen first?
Are you crazy?!
This way the Ming army won't pursue us without restraint.
It's precisely because we have him that the Ming army doesn't dare to pursue.
Also, now we keep him.
In the future, we can get a ransom in exchange for him.
But he's someone protected by the Heavens!
Enough! When we were at Oirat, I never saw lightning happening.
But...
Fine.
The most I can promise you is that I won't kill him.
But today's battle... I will eventually beckon it back.
Don't worry. It's just a few minor wounds; nothing serious.
Ye Xian is too vicious!
If it were me, I would also do it like this.
I estimate that we'll arrive at Oirat's Royal Court in two more days.
Based on Ye Xian's temperament, he will torment me more when he gets there.
I believe that he will do that to you, too.
I'm not afraid. At most, I'll make him die with me.
Please don't! Follow whatever he wants you to do.
You've saved his life, and he likes you.
If you don't infuriate him, you should be safe.
Yunxian, listen to me.
Reputation and virginity are secondary.
Preserving life is the most important thing.
Do you understand what I mean?
I understand.
In the end, I estimate you will be the only one left to be able to freely move in the Royal Court.
Within the hostages, there are many soldiers who are waiting to return.
When the time comes,
we can only rely on you.
I understand.
A'na (Princess), look!
I see. Here.
Tuo Bu Hua!
Dage!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong? Your Majesty.
I dreamt of Yunxian.
I dreamt of Oirat people throwing a sword at her. Yunxian has blood all over.
I stretched out my hand to grab her. She unexpectedly cast aside my hand!
She said she hated me.
Your Majesty, dreams are not real.
Besides, the mastermind is the Empress and has nothing to do with you, Your Majesty.
Right.
It's Empress.
I didn't kill her,
but I'll depose her!
Empress has arrived!
Your Majesty! You want to depose me?
Who informed you?
That's right.
I want to depose you.
You came at the right time.
The edict was just written, so we can save the hassle of having someone else bring it to you.
Why?
What wrong did I do to you?
Aunt wanted me to go to Nanjing in the first place, but I stayed behind to keep you company.
Last time you said that you wanted to spend a lifetime with me.
You're the Emperor, you cannot go back on a promise!
Because you plotted to murder Yunxian. You wanted to kill the woman I love the most!
Do you treat me as a fool?
You hurt Yunxian first and come back to flatter.
Forcing me to marry you using every possible means.
If I didn't think Yunxian was already dead, I would grant you the title of Empress.
Your Majesty...
I hate that I couldn't strangle you right now.
Don't! Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Yu'er! Let Empress go! You... You're crazy!
I'm not crazy!
Each one of you forced me to marry her.
But now I am the Emperor.
I can appoint you as well as depose you.
Yu'er! You can't!
Your Majesty! You can't!
-Your Majesty!-Give it to me!
Do you not cherish our mutual affection as husband and wife?
Stop!
I actually want to see how you would depose Meilin!
Aunt.
Everyone leave.
Royal Mother, how come you're already back from Mei Sha?
If I didn't return, you would have made a huge mistake!
The enemies are currently on our doorsteps and the government is not stable yet.
Basing just on Miss Qian's one-sided account, you actually plan to remove the Empress from position?
Meilin did went with you through hard times together.
But you, in no time, just became heartless to her.
After removing Meilin from position, do you also plan to deal with Wang Ying too.
Have you carefully looked into the account books of the Ministry of Treasury?
After continuously hiring soldiers, our Ming dynasty's funds are almost gone.
If not for Duke Wang giving up half of their wealth,
I'm afraid that you will be just like the retired Emperor, being caught and taken into Oirat, giving shame to our clan.
You want to send troops to save retired Emperor.
Without money, what will you use to pay your troops?
Today I will declare here.
As long as I'm alive, Meilin is empress forever.
You're also at fault.
As an empress, you can't even manage your subordinates.
Allowing them to do as they like.
You must change!
Aunt, Your Majesty. It's all my fault.
It must be that brat Bi Cao. It was her who did this behind my back.
I was so good to Hang meimei.
On the day of my wedding, I announced in front of everyone that I'm willing to accept her into our home and grant her consort position.
How could I harm her?
This is right.
Your Majesty, I'll decide for you regarding this matter.
As long as Hang Yunxian can come back safely,
I will forget what happened in the past and grant her Consort position.
No...as Noble Consort.
Yui Er, did you hear that? It's Noble Consort...
Fine. Meilin wasn't able to see the larger issue.
She will accompany me for the next few days then to repent.
Virtuous Wu Consort, come with us too.
Your Majesty
Don't call me the Emperor.
I'm not worthy.
Empress Dowager is the real Emperor.
Auntie, luckily you came earlier.
If not...
You too. How come you didn't do things cleanly?
And instead got fooled by Miss Qian and Liu Ping-an.
Greetings to the two Empress Dowager. Greetings to the Empress.
Empress Dowager Wu, you go back first.
Okay.
Duke Wang, hurry and send men to find Liu Ping-an.
Your Lady Highness, no need to find anymore.
During the day of the big battle, Liu Ping-an also went to Xizhimen.
In the end, he was hit by the horse carriage of the Oirat.
We can't even find his corpse.
Yesterday, the Medicine Bureau has already gave him a funeral.
He did die so timely.
Dad, you don't know how dangerous it was earlier.
The Emperor almost removed me from position.
You...where did you put all those things I taught you?
In front of the Emperor, you should show weakness. Cry more.
Would it have come to this?
Auntie...earlier...why do you keep mentioning about the Noble Consort thing?
You...for them to be able to come back alive is already good.
Stop thinking about that anymore.
Going back to more serious matter, you should go talk to the Emperor again after a few days.
Duke Wang, I heard that the retired Emperor appeared at Xizhimen.
What's that about?
Hurry! Don't be lazy!
Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!...- Come back!...
Stop pushing forward!
- Your Majesty!...- Stop pushing forward!...
Get back!
- Get back!- Your Majesty! Are you alright? We heard you were hurt bad.
- How are you?- Stop pushing forward!
Don't worry. I'm fine. Doctor Hang is fine.
- Your Majesty...- Enough already.
The Grand Preceptor wants him to quarry together with these prisoners.
What? What did you say? How can the Emperor quarry?
What nonsense! Why must he work with us?
The Grand Preceptor has already said to let him work as much as he can. As long as he doesn't die from tiredness, any work will do.
What S#*t are you saying?!
Get back!
I'm sorry. This is a strict decree from the Grand Preceptor.
He...must work by himself.
If any of you guys help him, remember, your hands will be cut down.
Come then! If you have guts, them cut mine!
Come! Come then!
Silence!...
It's just carrying sand and quarrying stones.
If you guys can do it, I can do it too.
That's right then, Emperor.
If you will follow, everything will be easier.
I'm giving you him now.
Yes!
Wait.
If you get any news about Doctor Hang, remember to inform us.
Where are the sands? Let's go.
Let him go.
Your Majesty...
Grand Preceptor, your pulse is steady. You have already recovered.
It's just that the lightning strike is bound to weaken your health, so you must abstain from drinking too much wine.
How about this.
Come and inspect every few days, to check if I drank wine or not.
If there is nothing else, I will take my leave.
I have something good to show you.
Here. Look.
A few days earlier, I got the maids to tidy the storehouse, and unexpectedly found jewelry used in the southern regions.
And these. Do you like it? If you like it, take the whole chest with you.
It is indeed beautiful.
It's just that I've seen these before.
This is the Empress' phoenix hairpin, worn especially with formal attire.
If I'm not wrong, this is the ransom paid by the Empress, asking for the Emperor's release.
Is it?
Probably.
As a person of Ming, I dare not wear the Empress' jewelry.
I thank you for your kind intentions.
Hey. Why are you leaving?
You should be aware of how I treat you.
Even Tuobuhua doesn't get as much affection from me.
I'm just slightly impolite when managing state affairs.
Why must you be so angry?
You don't need to be afraid. I won't treat you like I did last time.
Thank you for your good intentions, Grand Preceptor.
I have no intention of blaming you.
It's just that the weather is cool,
and I suddenly feel uncomfortable, which is why I want to go back and rest.
Fine. I'll escort you back.
Grand Preceptor.
I want to request something.
Speak. As long as you don't ask me to deliver your Emperor back to the Capital.
I want to ask the Princess if she could find two Mongolian physicians.
I want to learn medicine from them.
You are already one of the most superior physicians of the plains.
Why are you intent on learning from Mongolian physicians?
Please don't say that. I'm still far from it.
In the past, I also believed Han physicians were more skilled.
However, when our Emperor fell off and was in a coma,
I had no idea how to save him.
If it weren't for the Mongolian physicians' method of putting the Emperor within an ox and thus saving him,
I would be a criminal even in death.
Grand Preceptor, you also know that there is no boundary to knowledge.
Since I have nothing to do, why not let me learn?
If I can research and create some new prescriptions, it will be advantageous for both Oirat and Ming.
You've said so much, yet in the end all you want to do is avoid me.
Fine. If you want to go, then go.
It's not a bad thing anyways.
You will be living frequently on the Mongolian plains.
Might as well get used to the people here. It will be beneficial.
You're not used to manual labour, am I right?
You must practise more in the future.
Mongolian physicians‘ ways aren't as complicated as those of Han physicians.
We place importance on two characters: red and white.
Red is meat, white is horse's milk.
If there's anything wrong with our bodies, we rely on these two ingredients.
Last time, I used beef to treat your Emperor.
In fact, horse's milk is also first-class.
It enriches the blood, and guides the flow of qi.
Every time Genghis Khan was wounded or bled, he relied on this for recovery.
Back when I was in the Ming Palace, I read Important Principles of Correct Diet.
It was written by Master Hu Sihui from the Yuan Dynasty.
Soured buttermilk was listed as a therapy, and I used it to treat someone's diarrhea.
Important Principles of Correct Diet ? You've read that as well?
That is excellent.
The living Bodhisattva from the temples told me such a text existed,
and many food therapies used here were included.
It is a pity that even the living Bodhisattva hasn't seen it.
I remember many things from it.
I can write the therapies out and give it to you next time.
Really?
That would be great.
Miss Hang, I don't have anything to thank you with.
Here. I will teach you the properties of horse's milk.
Not only can horse's milk treat internal problems, it can also heal external problems.
For example, using fermented milk and sour buttermilk to massage.
It is very useful for indigestion, back and leg pain, external wounds and women's problems.
Here, look here.
Don't slack off. Hurry!
Work faster.
Work faster!
Faster, faster!
What do you think you're doing here? Stand up!
Your Majesty, you seem like a changed person now.
May I ask what happened?
Perhaps it was because I...
suffered. "Before the Heavens lets a huge responsibility befall you,
it will weary your heart and body."
I only just realised how much hardship all of you have suffered.
Before,
I was just a licentious ruler eating lamb in a Mongolian tent,
berating the Heavens for all the injustices I suffered.
Your Majesty, I had no intention of complaining.
It's just that the condition here is really bad.
Two days earlier, two of my comrades broke their legs.
I'm just worried for Your Majesty.
This hardship is nothing to me.
I still have to lead you all back to the Capital.
Your Majesty! You mean...
This must be kept a secret.
Thanks to Ye Xian trussing me up for three days on the way to the imperial court,
I was able to remember the entire path taken.
As long as we prepare well, and rescue Yunxian,
we will be able to return to Ming within 15 days.
You are right. That would be wonderful.
Quickly tell the other comrades to prepare.
Yes, I will.
Quickly, go prepare.
This is great news.

This is sister Yunxian's gift. Everyone has one.
Go receive it.
Here.
What is this?
Belts. Wear it against your skin, an inch below your waist.
It can heal waist and leg pain.
Labour is hard here. Belts are going to be very useful.
This belt can treat waist pain?
Of course. Don't think this is something simple.
This is something unique.
Every knot corresponds to an acupoint, and there is medicine wrapped inside.
So if you wear it everyday, it'll feel as if someone is giving you acupuncture treatment every day.
It will definitely cure waist and leg pain.
Did Yunxian really make this?
It is. It is a unique type of Zhashala spell.
Many Mongolian physicians are incapable of making this. I didn't realise that sister Yunxian was so skilled,
and learnt this within a few days. Even Uncle Duote complimented her.
She just can't sit still.
I brought good wine. Do you want to drink with me over there?
Okay. I also want to have a taste of fermented milk.
Then let's go.
Come.
Let's sit here. It's quiet, and the wind is small.
Be careful.
Princess.
If you're okay, please let go.
I'm not letting go. You know I like you, right?
Thank you for your kindness.
Don't say such useless things. Just tell me, you like me, right?
Princess, you are very naive and sincere. Of course I like you.
Then, marry me. Sister Yunxian worries about you guys everyday.
I've already thought it through. As long as you marry me, everything will be solved.
Ming and Oirat will be bound by marriage, and war will never happen again.
When that time comes, I'll go to Beijing with you, drive your evil brother away and take back the throne for you.
You will no longer need to be so unhappy.
It's not that.
I already have my Empress, and many consorts in the palace.
I even have a son.
I just don't want to suffer because of me.
Sister Yunxian has already told me about that. I am not worried though.
Genghis Khan had four Empresses.
If worst comes to worst, I can live on the plains, and you can grant me the title of Secondary Empress.
I'm really fond of children as well. When your son grows up, I can play with him.
Princess. You can't think like that.
You...you can't back out.
I know you like me. Otherwise, why would you always talk with me,
and come straight away when I want to drink?
Princess. I know how you feel. Yet what am I now?
I am the Emperor of a dying nation. I have no intention of marrying.
If you want to tell me this, tell me when I return to the Capital. It won't be too late then.
You have no chance of returning. My older brother won't let you.
I didn't mean that.
Forget it. It's me that is useless.
Don't be upset.
Sister Yunxian said your mother wasn't a good person.
Zhu Qizhen, give me a response.
I'll repay you with 15 litres of wine. Surely that would suffice?
Zhu Qizhen!
I'll take you to meet Sister Yunxian.
