The Imperial DoctressEpisode 49
All the traditional herbal therapies and prescriptions are only intended for usage in this drama. Please do not test or imitate.
However, Your Majesty,
I know you think highly of this child,
and always refer to the child as your Little Prince.
I also know that the ministers are saying
you'll remove Jianshen from the position of Crown Prince
once this child is born.
Your Majesty.
Can we let go of the position of Crown Prince?
Return everything that used to
belong to the retired Emperor.
After all,
no matter when, he has never harmed you.
After all, he is your one and only biological brother.
Child, tell your father
that when you grow up,
you want to be a truthful and honest person,
just like your father.
Fine. Enough.
I promise you.
I will not change the Crown Prince.
Yunxan. I also don't want to keep secrets from you.
I once gave tacit approval to harm the Empress Dowager.
But after reflection,
I am very ashamed.
I will never be like this again.
When imperial brother returns,
I will definitely rule the country well with imperial brother,
so that every civilian can live a happy life.
I want to become a good Emperor.
I want to treat imperial brother well, treat you well,
and treat our child well.
Regarding this matter, carry out what I said.
Yes.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
The retired emperor is really able--he's almsot reached our territory!
Really?
Hurry and send for officials to receive him at Lugou Bridge!
Your Majesty, you must not.
Since the retired emperor is bringing so many troops,
- what if he wants to-- - That's enough!
My imperial brother is one of our heroes.
You must not say such narrow-minded things anymore.
I understand.
Xiao Ma'zi,
grant ten sets of jade pendants to the South Palace
and inform them of this great news.
Wait, I will go by myself.
Your Majesty, what happened?
- Your Majesty. - Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I think it's because I am eating cold food so my stomach hurts a bit.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty! Your Majesty! - Summon the imperial physician!
Summon the imperial physician!
- Your Majesty! - Hurry!
Why did I suddenly vomit blood?
Did you find out anything?
Your Highness, His Majesty has excessive toxic heat, leading to unstable blood flow.
He requires rhinoceros horn powder and Radix Rehmanniae soup. It will cool the heat and remove toxins.
However, this will be a long healing process.
The Imperial Noble Consort as arrived.
How is the Emperor?
Don't come closer. I am fine.
Xiao Ma'zi, support the Imperial Noble Consort so she doesn't come here and contract the illness.
Physician Cheng, what illness did His Majesty contract?
His Majesty was quite anxious today.
I believe His Majesty has excessive toxic heat in the stomach.
Let me see. Do you perhaps not trust me?
I remember Teacher once said that a patient should avoid being diagnosed by two physicians.
If two physicians hold opposing views, which one should the patient listen to?
Cheng Cunxia, you're being too rude.
I was wrong.
Senior, continue using medicine on the Emperor.
Yes. Imperial physicians, come with me.
It's nothing. Nothing bad will happen to me, no need to worry.
Lvxiang, the Imperial Noble Consort is sweating so much, and you're just watching.
Yes.
We need to add unpeeled root of peony and stoneweed.
Order for these immediately.
Excessive toxic heat in the stomach...
What?
Wan Ning. Wan Ning! What are you thinking about?
I am thinking about the emperor's illness.
What's with his illness?
Official, I think the Emperor's illness
doesn't fit the symptoms of excessive toxic heat.
Then what do you think it is?
The Emperor's tongue is white,
his pulse is taut, and it seems like symptoms of liver blood and qi stagnation.
However, in the cavity of the stomach,
there is excessive toxic heat.
However...
What exactly do you want to say?
I just feel the emperor's illness is
strange.
The emperor is healthy,
and our prescription fits the symptoms.
However, there is no improvement after so many days.
He also threw up blood and his feces has traces of blood.
It is similar to a child I treated,
who mistakenly ate foreign matter.
What did you say?
I said, it is similar to a child I treated,
who mistakenly ate foreign matter. Soon after, his stomach began showing problems,
and the child started vomiting and excreting blood.
Why are you here instead of finding a cure for His Majesty?
Your Highness, I have urgent news to report.
What serious matter?
Your Highness,
His Majesty isn't suffering from a normal digestion problem.
He has been poisoned.
Poisoned?
How is that possible?
Who did this? Did you find out who did this?
I haven't. I thought it was a serious matter, hence I have not discussed it with others,
so I reported to you first.
This kind of poison is not typical.
It is a kind of foreign matter that doesn't have a taste or a smell.
After ingesting, His Majesty's intestines will crumble.
Foreign object?
Could it be...
By chance, does Your Highness know something!?
No! I don't know about anything.
I don't know about anything.
Your Highness! This decides whether His Majesty lives or dies!
If you know anything, say so quickly!
Otherwise, he won't be able to endure much longer!
The Emperor... can't endure much longer?
No. It's wrong. It's wrong.
I didn't want to harm him.
I just had someone deliver the poison to Wan'an Palace.
I didn't think about harming the emperor.
Wan'an Palace? Then did you...
Don't say it!
I will not say it.
Your Highness, if you don't want His Majesty to die,
then tell me what you used.
We might still have time.
It's diamond powder.
Diamond powder...
Before, when we tried it on a rabbit,
the more diamond powder we used, the faster it died.
We put little in the last one, so it dragged on for four or five days.
The bowl sent to Wan'an Palace
only had a small amount.
We thought it would last until her due date.
- How did it... - What?
You two were planning on killing both mother and son?
Official Cheng, what use is saying these things now?
Hurrying and saving the Emperor is the priority.
You are also a smart person,
so you didn't spread the word about this.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to escape an accomplice's punishment.
You're one of us; who in the palace doesn't know that?
As soon as something happens, no one can escape.
Hurry and find two rabbits.
I harmed him.
I really harmed him.

You have to get better.
I finally had a few good days.
If you have an accident,
what do I do?
Mother, the Emperor needs to rest.
Why must you say such inauspicious words?
Why are you interfering between a mother and son's conversation?
Also, who allowed you outside of Wan'an Palace?
Get the hell out.
It's me who ask Yunxian to come here.
With Yunxian here, I feel more comfortable.
I am also recuperating faster.
Mother, I've been expecting for six months.
Just taking care of the Emperor for a moment
won't cause any harm.
It was because the Emperor always went to your place
that he drained his body!
Mother! I really don't want to here to say these things.
If you're tired, then hurry back to your chambers and rest.
Your Majesty! Are you kicking me out!?
If I didn't cherish you, would I risk so much to visit you!?
That's enough!
Yu'er...
- Xiao Mazi. - Yes.
Send Mother back to her palace.
- Your Highness. - Your Majesty!
I trusted you and did so many things for you!
How could you treat me like this!?
Your Majesty! How could you kick me out!?
Your Majesty!
Yunxian, Come here, sit down.
My mother
was suddenly showered with excessive riches after living in poverty for so long, causing her personality to be twisted.
She doesn't have regards for anyone anymore.
Now that I think about it, she's worse than Empress Dowager Sun.
At least she wouldn't only care about herself
when I'm in such an uncomfortable state.
Don't think about these things for now. Rest.
Your health is the priority.
How is it?
There is no medicine to cure it.
How is that possible?!
When i dissected the rabbit,
I found that they all died from punctured intestines and crumbled stomachs.
It should be because the diamond powder is solid and adheres to the walls of the stomach and intestines,
constantly rubbing against the organs, causing them to crumble.
Drink water. Let the emperor drink some water.
This will let them out of his body.
I already tried it before.
The results isn't big.
Your Highness! Is Official Cheng present?
What is it?
Official Cheng, the Emperor vomited blood!
Vomited blood?
How could it be like this!?
How did it become like this!? Yu'er!
Endure it.
Do not force the vomit. Be careful not to choke.
Yunxian.
It seems Cheng Cunxia has lost his touch.
Why don't you cure me.
Yes.
Your Majesty! Your Highness! Let me.
His Majesty is suffering from a deficiency of qi and blood levels. The amount of donkey hide gelatin needs to be doubled.
Your Highness, take care of His Majesty for now.
I will go prescribe medicine now.
Your Majesty, if you want to sleep, then sleep.
Along with Supervisor Cheng, we will surely cure you.
Okay. No matter what happens,
take care of yourself.
Yu'er. How are you?
Are you uncomfortable?
What orders do you have for me? I still have to prescribe medicine.
Senior! I've already taken His Majesty's pulse.
I've also checked his feces.
With this amount of blood loss and vomiting, His Majesty
is definitely not suffering from a simple digestion problem.
You stopped me from taking his pulse,
in order to hide something.
Senior,
what is going on?
I don't know what you're talking about.
What time is it now!?
If you tell me, we can figure it out together!
The Emperor might even make a turn for the better!
I can't tell. I can't tell you.
I've already sent for a fast horse to Nanjing for Master,
so there will be a turn for the better then!
Nanjing. Going back and forth from Nanjing takes at least 20 days!
The Emperor can't afford that time!
I am still a physician, and I've cured many people.
Senior, if you fear the the Emperor blames you,
then I will be here to attest to it.
Senior!
Living Guanyin!
Aren't you the Living Guanyin?
You must save the Emperor, you must save him!
Your Highness...
Save him. Save him!
As long as he's alive, you can be the Empress.
I really didn't mean to harm him! I really didn't mean to harm him!
You... harmed him?
What happened?
That is how it happened.
Because diamond powder is not a poison, there is no antidote.
So we can only procure blood and then staunch it.
But after awhile, it will still--
How much do you hate me
to condemn me to death?
Yes.
I do hate you.
Why did you have to steal away the emperor?
Why can you give birth for the emperor?
But,
no matter what, you have to save him.
I don't want him to die, I really don't want him to die.
I will help you find any type of medicine you need.
Even if... Even if you must take out my heart for medicine!
I'm begging you! I'm begging you to save the Emperor!
No need.
Retribution. Retribution!
This is really retribution.
I witnessed you
poisoning the former Empress Dowager.
I never thought that I'd die by your hands one day.
Qiyu! I really didn't mean to!
Even if I die myself, I would never hurt you! Qiyu...
Qiyu...
Qiyu! Qiyu I really didn't mean to.
Someone. Call Cao Jixiang for an edict.
Yes.
Edict? What edict?
You want to abolish me?
On account of our past,
I will let you live.
In the future, withdraw to a side palace.
Withdraw to a side palace?
You're saying... the cold palace?
So you don't ever want to see me?
For you, I've done everything!
I even killed my Aunt!
And yet you never want to see me again?
Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
Please stop being angry at me, I really didn't mean to!
Even if I were to kill my Aunt,
I wouldn't ever kill you! Your Majesty!
I really didn't mean to.
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty, you cannot marry that Hang Yunxian!
Your Majesty! You cannot marry her Your majesty!
- Your Majesty! - Drag her out!
Your Majesty!
I am the Empress, let go of me!
- Let go! Let go! - Drag her out!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
I am the Empress now!
I am the Empress!
Your Majesty, I've brought the edict.
Carry the order.
The Empress is banned from entering the Palace.
From this day onward, abolish the Empress' position.
This...
Imperial Noble Consort Hang
is virtuous and refined,
hence will be conferred the title of Empress.
Your Majesty must not! You cannot!
Hurry!
- Yes. - Your Majesty!
Yunxian, get up.
Hurry.
Your Majesty...
Yunxian,
you should stop refusing
the Empress' position.
I don't have many good days left to live.
Let's be husband and wife
as long as we can.
Don't speak nonsense. Listen carefully.
I will definitely cure you.
Everyone, I want to consult you for help and think of a plan
to see if there are any ways to neutralize or remove this diamond powder.
Having the Emperor vomit this diamond powder will also work.
Yes.
Senior. A wrong diagnosis is common for physicians.
It's just you shouldn't have hidden anything from me and thus sacrificed His Majesty's health.
I deserve death.
Since it's already this way, I don't want to speak of it any longer.
I hope you can commit a deed of merit that will replace your crime.
and help the Emperor recover blood to buy us time.
I will do that to the best of my ability.
Over the next few days, I will not return to Wan'an Palace.
Bring everything to me.
I want to study medicine here and think of some plans.
Yes.
Right.
Did you deliver the message for my mentor priest?
Yes.
Cao Jixiang sent for people to search everywhere.
Whenever a Daoist priest was seen with a traveling circus,
.it was verified whether or not he was Priest Wang.
My priest mentor has seen many things.
He also knows of many bizarre and unique treatment methods. i hope he has a way
to remove this diamond powder.
Isn't this flour soup?
There are also wood shavings.
I remembered yesterday that my Daoist priest mentor said
During Eastern Jin, two people were vying with each other in wealth,
and poured gold powder into his wine.
Unfortunately, he suffered extreme abdominal pain and punctured intestines.
He was nearing death, but someone gave him flour soup with wood shavings, and he slowly recuperated.
Because wood shavings can absorb powder
and the flour soup is thick, so the gold powder can adsorb onto it.
I'll drink.
Once the wood enters your stomach, it might be a bit painful. Try to endure it.
No need to fear.
I can endure it. No matter how much it hurts,
for you and the child,
I don't fear anything.
Don't just care for me.
I think you've become a bit frail lately.
You and the child cannot have any accidents.
- Your Highness. - It's still not working very well.
The Emperor's illness is getting more severe by the day.
Yu'er! My Yu'er!
- Yu'er! Yu'er! -Mother.
The Emperor just drank medicine and began to sleep. You cannot disturb him.
Get out. I want to see my Yu'er!
- Mother. - Get out!
You must calm down. If you don't calm down, I cannot bring you in.
Calm down? You want me to calm down?
The person who's about to die is not your son!
You think that you're everything since you became the Empress?
I need your approval to see the Emperor?
It's because vixens like you
that caused the Emperor to be like this.
I already told him you were an inauspicious omen, yet he wouldn't listen.
He was adamant in bringing an impure peron like you back to the palace.
Move out of my way!
You--
If you didn't enter the palace, Wan Meilin wouldn't have become jealous!
I might have already had a grandson by now!
Yu'er, why is your life so pitiful?
Look how pitiful my life is now. I want to see you, but she won't let me.
Get out!
Stop the Empress Dowager!
Send the Empress Dowager back immediately. She cannot disturb the Emperor.
I won't let you off easily.
I--
Your Highness!
You're suffering from fatigue from overworking.
If you don't rest properly, then perhaps even the royal son won't be saved.
Then what do I so?
No matter what, you must rest in bed for ten days.
Senior, I ask of you
to please add double the amount of donkey hide gelatin and fructus amoni.
Your Highness! We've found it! We've found it!
We found this diamond powder absorbs oil particularly well.
Before, we gave the rabbit water and medicine, but we couldn't remove the diamond powder.
Then we tried lard and found that all the diamond powder was removed!
That's wonderful!
Wonderful!
We can use sesame oil.
It can clean the intestines, and enrich the blood.
Exactly.
Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go try it together.
This is just intestinal blood. It is fine, as you are healthy and strong.
Thank the heavens.
You've done us a great deed!
Those things
- were all removed? - Your majesty. Your Highness.
The retired Emperor and Supervisor Liu are waiting to meet you.
Xiao Ma'zi, hurry.
Receive them.
Your treatment method was correct.
It's just that the human intestine twists and turns.
The diamond powder could be anywhere, and it's difficult to target.
Even if the diamond powder is removed, His Majesty's blot blots remain, and will need treatment.
I will be satisfied as long as I have a chance to live.
Imperial brother,
you were labored this time.
Don't say that.
I haven't congratulated you yet.
This is what I've owed Yunxian since long ago.
Isn't it?
Imperial brother,
I have now fallen to a severe illness.
It is difficult for me to handle the court's matters.
I decided to have you lead the court in my absence,
with Minister Yu as counselor.
How could I?
Didn't Physician Liu already say you would be cured?
Even if I'm cured
it's just delaying death.
Imperial brother, no need to refuse.
The Crown Prince is still too young.
If something happens to me,
then you should claim the throne.
Nonsense.
How old are you? You're younger than I.
Imperial brother,
truthfully, my position
was robbed from you.
I was greedy for power
and reputation,
causing my personality to become twisted.
It also caused you
to endure so much in the Oirat Clan and the South Palace.
Okay.
It's all been paid back to me.
I am doing this today
to accumulate virtue
for my Jianji.
Oh,
I've already discussed this with Yunxian.
Our child
once born
no matter whether it's a boy or a girl
will be named Jianji.
Qiyu...
Imperial brother,
I always owed you.
I'm sorry.
On account of our good past,
forgive me.
You cannot! You definitely cannot!
If you abdicate the throne, I can't live in the Renshou Palace any longer!
Yu'er. Yu'er! Yu'er!
Mother,
do you remember back when
you hoped for me to grow up peacefully.
Then,
hoping for me to peacefully be promoted to a Prince,
then become the Crown Prince?
To become the Emperor?
Now,
all of your hopes
have come true.
But I
am tired.
No... No... No, Yu'er.
I'm doing everything for your good. That retired emperor wants to harm you! He wants to harm you!
Yu'er!
Send the Empress Dowager back to her palace.
Your Highness, let's go.
Yu'er!
Your Highness!
- Let go! - Let's go!
- Your Highness. - Let go! - Let's go!
Traitorous woman! You Traitorous woman!
You want your lover to reclaim the throne, you want to harm my son!
You traitorous woman, traitorous woman!
Slowly.
Wait for me!
I won't give it to you!
Give it to me!
