During the Warring States period, an accident made Princess Banxia of the State of Zhao an orphan. She wandered among the people and met the two disciples of the divine doctor Cangshu, Goubao and Dushuo, as well as the daughter of the witch doctor Gegen, Dingxiang. Four childhood sweethearts grew up together. The lover of Banxia has excellent medical skills in living alone, but is greedy for glory and treacherous. Banxia gradually discovered that Goubao was the one she loved throughout her life. Goubao comes from a humble background and is skilled in devising tricks to seek medical treatment. His lifelong ideal is only to help the world by hanging a teapot. Fate has repeatedly dragged him into crisis. Goubao adheres to justice and medical ethics. With the help of cloves, kudzu root, Banxia, and several disciples, he devoted himself to studying medical skills and repeatedly thwarted the conspiracy of Du Huo with his magical medical skills. Living alone and doing many wrong deeds will lead to self destruction. Goubao ultimately achieved his life ideals, staying away from grudges and disputes. He traveled to the people with his lover's cloves, treating countless illnesses throughout his life. He was revered as a divine doctor by future generations.
Fellow soldiers of Zheng.
I tell you.
Inside your city
there's another army of ten thousand.
They'll arrive soon.
Outside the city
we have an army of one hundred thousand.
You'll have your own family.
Run for your life at once.
Go. Go. Go.
Chieftain. Chieftain.
Master.
Hurry up. Open the gate of the city.
Let them in.
Gee. Gee. Gee.
Gee.
You must
defend all the gates
of the imperial palace from attack.
You must hang on
until the reinforcements come.
Yes. Lord Li.
Within a few hours
His Majesty will send troops
from all over the countries.
By that time, we won't let the troops of Han
go out alive.
You shall go now.
Yes.
Other men. Listen to my orders.
Stand by for orders.
Yes.
Rush into the palace through the gate
and kill them all.
Kill them. Go.
What are you doing?
Your Majesty. Your Majesty.
The gate of the city has been broken through.
The army of Han
is besieging the imperial palace.
The gate of the city was broken through in such a short time.
How did the guarding soldiers for the city do their job?
Where's Li Duhuo?
Summon him right now.
Yes. Your Majesty.
Wait.
Summon all the ministers
for a discussion here.
Yes. Your Majesty.
The old thief Ji Yi is living right there.
Go!
Your Majesty. All the gates of the imperial palace
have been broken through.
Han's army is rushing into the palace.
What?
Your Majesty. Your Majesty.
You may leave.
Yes.
Your Majesty. We couldn't find Lord Li.
We've searched the Imperial Health Institute and the camp of imperial
imperial guards.
And we couldn't find Lord Li.
This villain forgets moral principles for profits
and has it both ways.
I suppose he must have shrunk like tortoise.
Your Majesty. All the ministers of the court
are missing.
Under this circumstance
no one would come to discuss the affairs with me.
Nor would anyone
come to protect me.
Come quickly. Follow me
to fight our way through.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, the crown prince has come to save you.
Father.
Liang'er, you're just in time.
Let's rush out of the palace.
Where there's life
there's hope.
Maybe General Cai Chong
will protect us on the way.
Father, as long as you return the throne
to Ji Zhong
we don't need to fight anymore.
Liang'er, what are you talking about?
Do you still insist that I should
hand over the throne?
You shouldn't say something like that at this moment.
Chengyang and Ji Zhong have
come with Han's army.
I saw them
outside the palace.
Liang'er, it turns out you already knew
Ji Zhong and his people had borrowed the troops from Han
to attack Xinzheng.
I was only aware of it
when I came into the palace.
Liang'er, you knew it.
But why didn't you tell me?
If you told me
I could have deployed the troops.
Are you showing loyalty to me
or to those people outside?
Father, it's not about whom I am loyal to.
I just want to atone for my sin
and also atone for father's sin.
You...
Father.
Just listen to me this time.
Your Majesty, some of them are coming towards us.
No more talking.
Let's rush out first.
Father. Father.
Father. Father.
Ji Yi. We meet again.
You stabbed me.
And I haven't got even with you yet.
Liang'er, take revenge for me.
Father.
Ji Liang, how come you are here?
Father.
Return the throne to Ji Zhong.
It's time to return it to the owner.
Ji Liang, you feigned madness for many days.
We were all deceived by you.
Are you coming back
to send the news secretly?
If I had come to send the news secretly
then Zheng's army
would've been sent here.
If you're coming to send the news
you should stand aside.
You said you would leave this alone, didn't you?
Why do you break your words now?
How can I watch you
hurt my father and do nothing with it?
Seize him first.
Wait.
Yan Sheng.
I know you are the Crown Prince of Han.
As long as you agree to
let off my father.
I'll take all the responsibility
for my father's and my own faults.
Don't talk nonsense.
Sister Xi'er. Sister Xi'er.
Sister Xi'er.
To come early is not as good as to come in time.
Release Ji Liang right now.
You know what? After we part
That bloody Li Duhuo
put Brother Goubao
into the imperial prison again.
Without Ji Liang's help
Brother Goubao may have
been decapitated.
Yan Sheng. Release him.
Xia'er, why are you still hesitating?
Kill that bastard.
Take revenge for you.
Stop it.
Brother Goubao.
Yan Sheng.
I heard what you said
just now.
If Ji Yi really feels repentant
and is willing to hand the throne
over to Ji Zhong
we can spare his life
and demote him as a common person
so that he could live a normal life.
No way.
He killed my father
and make my brother suffer for so many years.
He must die.
Xia'er.
Sister Xi'er.
Have you forgot what your father said to you
before he died?
Don't seek revenge.
Ji Zhong, you can't be imprudent.
Ji Zhong, don't be imprudent.
Listen to me.
I know you hold grudges in your mind.
I don't expect your forgiveness for my father and me.
But I beg you to give me a chance
to atone for our sin.
I'll persuade my father
to return the throne to you.
As long as you let off him
and spare his life
I'm willing to die for my father
to relieve your grudges.
I beg you.
Father.
Ji Liang.
Ji Liang.
Why do you have to make yourself suffer?
Master. Mistress.
I'm sorry.
I have stYesd with you these days.
It's my happiest time.
Please don't blame my father.
I didn't prevent my father at that time
and it led to a serious mistake.
Father, for the sin
we've committed
I'll atone for it
by death today.
What sin do you atone for?
The State of Zheng belongs to me after all.
It belongs to us.
Father. No. No.
Liang'er.
Ji Liang.
No father will do that like you.
Liang'er.
Return Liang'er to me.
Take revenge. Aren't you going to take revenge?
All of you should do it together.
I once swore that
I would make you pay for this with your own blood.
Gee.
Princess, look. Commander Li is coming.
Gee. Gee.
Husband.
Lord Li.
Where's everybody else?
I'm asking you.
Husband, what's wrong with you?
Changyang, when the city was captured
I sent three thousand soldiers
to escort you out of the city.
Where are they now?
Where are your soldiers?
Well...
The solders either escaped or surrendered on the way.
They all left.
Father. Brother.
I tried very hard to fight my way to the imperial palace of Zheng.
I was late in the end.
It's my fault.
I failed to protect father properly.
Goubao and Banxia should take the blame.
If they hadn't borrowed the troops from Han
the State of Zheng
would not have fallen.
Husband, when I came out
I brought some valuables with me.
Give them out to the soldiers.
What do you mean?
You're skilled in medicine.
The three of us can conceal our identity
and live an ordinary life.
Princess, your father and brother
were killed by them.
Don't you take revenge?
The death never comes back to life.
Even if I take the revenge successfully
what's the meaning of it?
I know
you won't let go of it easily.
But even if General Cai
leads the troops here
it's difficult to win the battle with Han's army.
Forget it.
Do this for my sake
and for the sake of Longkui.
I do all these things
for the sake of you and our son.
I'm leaving now.
Lord Li. This is
settling-in allowance.
Those who want to leave may leave now.
I won't blame you.
Lord Li.
You're such a benefactor to us in our daily life.
In this critical moment
how can we escape in the face of danger
and survive regardless of your life.
The cavalry of thirty thousand led by General Cai
will arrive the day after tomorrow at the soonest.
But inside the city
the number of Han's army adds up to one hundred thousand.
Even if we take everything into account
the chance to win is only thirty percent.
You should go.
I don't want to watch you
die in vain.
Lord Li.
You've given a lot
for the state power of Zheng.
We trust in your capability
to lead the State of Zheng and change the situation.
Although I do have a solution
it's too risky
We should happiness and hardship together.
You're really my good fellows
whom I have hand-picked myself.
My fellows, please remember.
One day when I'm crowned
as the monarch of Zheng
each of you is the founder of the state.
Your names will be stamped on the page of history.
Pledge allegiance to Lord Li with my life.
Pledge allegiance to Lord Li with my life.
You're Li Duhuo.
Lord Li, someone's coming from that way.
Leave now.
Go.
Ji Zhong.
Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong.
What happened? Be quick.
Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong.
What's the matter with you? You...
Sister. Sister. Li... Lord Li.
Leg. Leg. Leg.
Leg.
Zisu.
Ji Zhong.
Zisu.
I'm here, Ji Zhong.
I tell you.
I've made up my mind.
I'll marry you.
Marry you.
Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong.
Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong.
We must tear the murderer
into pieces.
Ji Zhong.
I want to spend some time with my brother
alone for a while.
Banxia.
Don't be too sad.
Out.
Alright. Let's go out first.
Leave Xia'er alone for a while.
Zisu.
Leg. Ji Zhong talked about the leg.
Did he refer that
the leg of the murderer got injured?
The blood must have something to do with the murderer.
It's you who killed Ji Zhong.
Do you think that you can be the monarch
as long as you killed Ji Zhong?
Xia'er, you misunderstand me.
I didn't kill Ji Zhong.
If you are not the murderer
you shall roll up the bottom of your trousers
and let me see if you've got any injury.
Xia'er, I can hide the truth from everyone
but you.
Xia'er.
I don't know why
we've come to the step
of killing each other today.
You know
the last person I would hurt
is you.
Yet you've hurt me again
and again.
Hurt me.
Hurt Ding Xiang.
Hurt those who love you.
I was forced by to do all those things.
I was forced by you.
You did all of those things
for your own sake.
You were ambitious to gain
the state power of Zheng.
But the State of Zheng
doesn't need a tyrant.
Shut up.
Alright.
From now on
You go your way.
And I'll go mine.
No way.
Come on. Come on.
I got you.
You can't catch me.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Xia'er.
Let go.
Li Duhuo, let go.
Let go.
Xia'er. Xia'er. Xia'er.
Sister Xi'er.
Xia'er. Xia'er. Xia'er.
Xia'er. Xia'er.
Goubao.
It's fate.
You're a good doctor.
You're kind-hearted and righteous.
But sometimes
you're not quite serious.
Xia'er. Don't talk anymore.
Let's go back home and then we'll talk.
It's too late.
Goubao, I'm sorry.
You could have
been a Miracle doctor without all the strife.
Yet you're involved into this chaos of the world because of me.
It's my fault.
Don't cry.
Listen.
You should take good care of Ding Xiang.
She's a good girl.
Only that she has a sharp tongue sometimes.
She's kind-hearted.
I'm handing Tian Qi over to you.
You shall watch him grow up
and establish his own family.
Don't worry.
I will take good care of Tian Qi.
I'm relieved finally.
Xia'er. Xia'er. Xia'er.
Sister Xi'er.
Xia'er.
Xia'er. I don't let you go.
Xia'er.
Princess, Young Master is asleep.
Princess, are you all right?
Do you want to send for a doctor
for a diagnosis?
I just feel panic.
Maybe something bad
will happen soon.
Do you refer to Lord Li?
Lord Li is resourceful.
He'll be all right.
My husband
is misled by his cleverness.
Let's wait.
Maybe Lord Li
will come back in a few days.
He'll never come back.
Since he left that night
I have had the feeling that
he would never come back.
He exhausted every power of his mind
but in the end he fell into his own trap.
Still the same words.
The disaster caused by heaven is understandable.
Yet a man's sin is not forgivable.
Are you all right, Princess?
Don't worry.
Changyang is not mad.
You also don't need to worry
that I'll commit suicide.
After all these things
I've learned to look on the bright side.
From now on, there's no princess.
There's only
an ordinary madam.
From now on, you should call me
Madam Changyang.
Yes. Madam.
And for Longkui
you should never let him
know his true identity.
Let him be an ordinary man.
Yes. Madam.
We support the Miracle doctor to restore the country.
Miracle doctor. Miracle doctor.
We support the Miracle doctor to restore the country.
Miracle doctor. Miracle doctor.
When did Huang Lian and Huang Qin
go out of the city?
Both of them still hope
you could restore the country for Ji Zhong
and Sister Xi'er.
Now send that fat guy Han You
back to Han quickly.
After they buried Sister Xi'er
last night
they went out of the city overnight.
They said they were going to
gather all the patients whom you once cured
and their family
so that they could come and support you.
I was wondering
why there were so many people here.
Miracle doctor.
You're very influential.
Your Majesty.
The civilians of Zheng want to support you
to be their monarch.
I have no intention to be a monarch.
But since Xia'er and Ji Zhong have passed away
It's my compelling obligation to finish the cause of
restoring the country for them.
Take a closer look.
There are more than
a hundred of finest soldier standing behind me.
It's just a piece of cake for them
to cut you into pieces.
You shall look at the backside of the civilians.
We only deployed fifty thousand soldiers from the army of one hundred thousand.
And they besiege the area so closely that you can't even move.
It's easy to
fight against them.
Your Majesty.
Please just aim at Goubao
and spare the civilians.
Goubao and his people must know they're doomed to death.
But they will fight till the end.
It's worthy of the trust
of the late Xia'er and Ji Zhong.
You are courting death.
Tunmeng.
If you want to kill master
kill me first.
Tunmeng, what are you doing?
Do you want your father or your master?
Father.
I only stand by justice.
You...
Your Majesty. If the monarch is not benevolent
and do not consider about the civilians
even if he gets the territory
and he can't win people's hearts.
How could he govern the country for a long time?
It's easy to conquer the country
but it's difficult to govern it.
I think you can't get everything
by force.
Not the civilians' hearts.
Not even your son's heart.
Tunmeng.
Come back to me.
It turns out winning people's hearts by virtues
prevails over winning by forces.
What about governing a country by virtues?
It prevails over governing by forces.
I've decided to return the State of Zheng
to the Miracle doctor.
I believe the Miracle doctor will surely
manage the country well.
We'll withdraw the troops back to our country in three days.
Father, do you really mean it?
The monarch's words are to be taken seriously.
Let's go.
Brother Goubao.
You're saying that the fat guy Han You
has agreed to return Zheng to us.
If you feel happy, then give me a smile.
Don't keep a straight face.
He returned the State of Zheng to us.
Of course I feel happy.
But the problem is if you want me to be the monarch
I don't feel happy.
Xia'er.
Ji Liang. Ji Zhong.
I will leave tomorrow.
Be away from the capital.
I'll go back to Mohai County first
and open a clinic there.
Then
this thing I'm most looking forward to
is being a roving doctor.
This time I leave here.
I don't know
when I can come back to see you again.
So today
I've come to say goodbyes to you.
Xia'er.
I picked up
a bunch of flowers or you on the way.
I remember that when we were children
in Mohai County
you always asked me to pick up flowers for you.
Every time when I picked them up for you
you always said they were ugly.
I hope you can be satisfied this time.
Tomorrow
I will go to the Jiulonggen Tribe
and bring Tian Qi back.
Don't worry.
I'll watch him grow up
and teach him medical skills.
I won't make him
as playful as me.
Besides
you won't
be alone here.
Both Ji Liang and Ji Zhong will keep you company.
Tunmeng will also come to see you.
I always appeared
strong in front of you
and never shed tears.
Today I'm not strong anymore.
Alright. Don't cry.
Alright.
I'm leaving.
I'll miss you all.
Chieftain is back.
Chieftain is back.
Chieftain, you're back finally.
Chieftain.
Where's Tian Qi?
Dad. Aunt Ding Xiang.
Aunt Ding Xiang. Aunt Ding Xiang.
Aunt, where's my mum?
Your mum is out for a business.
She'll be back in a while.
What about Uncle Ji Zhong and Ji Liang?
Are they also out for a business?
Qi'er, you're so clever.
When can my mum
finish her business?
Not until you grow up.
Is it true that my mum
will only come back after I grow up?
Yes.
When you grow up, she will be back.
Brother Goubao.
What's your plan for the future?
My plan is simple.
Cure the illness and save the patient.
Now it's a peaceful world.
I can realize my dream.
I also need to teach Tian Qi medical skills.
Pass down my medical skills
from generations to generations.
Yes. You should teach Tian Qi medical skills.
You must make him
A miracle doctor better than you.
Better than me.
How's that possible?
Why is that impossible? Brother Goubao.
The pupil excels the teacher.
Don't you know that?
Ding Xiang. What's your plan?
I got it.
You want to go back to Mohai County
and give birth to a bunch of children.
Right?
Brother Goubao.
I've decided not to have any child in the future.
Why not?
Although Tian Qi is not my biological child
Sister Xi'er
handed him over to me.
I shall give everything I have
to love him with all my heart.
So from now on
Tian Qi is my own son.
Ding Xiang, the rightest
decision I've made through my life
is to marry you.
Mum.
