EPISODE 15
Gosh, officers!
Why are you...
Move aside.
Tell the Minister of Personnel and you let the Capital Magistracy know.
Yes, sir.
Mind if I take a look?
What brings the youngest son of Lord Kim to a place like this?
It's a protocol for the government to do the autopsy.
It'll be midnight when that coroner receives that order
and the officer on duty and get here.
The condition of the body changes by the minute.
-Let me just check before it's too... -Step back!
We will be following the protocol,
so don't take another step.
She just collapsed.
When I opened the door...
If she died in the palanquin,
she couldn't have been attacked.
She threw up blood after eating the rice cake.
If she had indigestion,
she wouldn't have thrown up blood.
She must've been poisoned.
If she was poisoned, there must've been a reason.
I don't think she had any enemies...
What's wrong?
What if the girl who's in love with me killed her out of jealousy?
I'm pretty sure that's not it.
But if it's not that, then why?
Someone wouldn't have poisoned her
out of spite for her father.
But
Eunuch Go.
I saw you take a bracelet
from her wrist. Same goes for you, Scholar Park.
How come you didn't say anything after seeing her take something
from a deceased woman?
And you knew something too.
Why did you stop me?
That bracelet
belonged to Min Jae-yi, the murderer of Gaeseong.
WANTED MIN JAE-YI
You must know about the rumors regarding Min Jae-yi, Master Kim.
That is the bracelet the so-called Min Jae-yi's lover gave to Min Jae-yi.
He and Jae-yi each had
matching bracelets.
So are you saying what happened today has something to do
with Min Jae-yi?
How could Min Jae-yi have something to do with it?
She just happened to have Min Jae-yi's bracelet.
Then why did you take this?
You must've taken this because you think it is somehow
connected to Min Jae-yi.
The Capital Magistracy will define the death's cause.
We'll know then
if Min Jae-yi's connected to her.
Right.
There's no way someone died because of this bracelet.
It's not like this bracelet is cursed.
But
that's not what's important right now.
How did you know
this belonged to Lady Jae-yi? Same goes for you, Scholar Park.
You stopped me because you knew
this belonged to Lady Jae-yi, right?
Why are you not saying anything? All three of you recognized this bracelet
and it's really weird, don't you think?
His Highness once showed me a bracelet
-of Jae-yi's lover, and it was the same. -Yes.
So I could recognize it at a glance.
-I heard it from Eunuch Go. -I see.
-I heard it from His Highness. -I see.
Why does Myeong-jin think
His Highness is very close by?
Maybe he came by Manyeondang
under a disguise.
It just popped into my head.
Then
one of you must be His Highness...
That was just a trick.
You are not a eunuch.
Your Highness.
I, Kim Myeong-jin of Manyeondang would like to formally greet you.
Your Highness.
-Your Highness. -Oh!
Please forgive me for the rudeness up until now.
-He's not the Crown Prince. Let him go. -Yeah, right. Your Highness.
You're wrong. Let go.
-Don't hold her hand. -There's no way...
-You're wrong. -You're wrong.
-He's not the Crown Prince. -There is no way. Your Highness.
-You little... -Your Highness.
Gosh, Your Highness.
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
WANTED MIN JAE-YI
The card to depose the Crown Prince
just walked into my hands.
How dare he let a woman into the East Palace
under a disguise?
The apprentice at Manyeongdang isn't a man.
She's a woman.
Your servant, Jang Ga-ram.
If she isn't,
there's no way she could've recognized that bracelet.
When a servant's master's family violates moral principles,
the servants must become government slaves.
So how come you didn't follow the law
and just let her stay near you.
-You must tell her to go back... -I can't do that.
She has nowhere else to go.
If she left Gaeseong with you,
a manhunt must've been issued.
She's risking her life to protect me.
If it weren't for her,
I would already be in prison by now.
I wouldn't have gotten the chance to meet you
or a chance to clear my name.
I
must give her a place to go back to.
A house where she won't need to worry about being arrested.
I have to give back her life
which she only had to worry about minors.
She's my best friend, Your Highness.
I was able to go through everything because of her.
Someone can only endure if they have something to protect.
If she gets caught with the manhunt,
you'll be putting yourself and Manyeondang in danger.
Don't you get it?
That's why I must clear my name.
Can't you
protect her too?
What happened with the bracelet?
Do you think your bracelet is connected to that lady's death?
I'm not sure.
Are you not feeling well?
We must go back to Manyeondang.
I need to look at that bracelet once more.
Something doesn't feel right.
He said he's not the crown prince.
How could Eunuch Go be His Highness?
A woman.
Eunuch Go is a woman.
What are you talking about?
A woman?
I held his hand before
and it was a woman's hands.
How can you tell someone's gender only by feeling their hand?
Guess what,
Myeong-jin is an expert on bone structure
and it was a woman.
I may not be able to see the bones, but I can tell.
What about my hand?
What?
You also have the hands of a woman.
How can a man have the hands of a woman?
A man can have soft hands like a woman.
So how can you say you know his bone structure?
You will see!
A bone-visualizing tool will be made in the future.
I'd rather believe that there will be a tool that eats poop.
Gosh...
My smart apprentice.
What about this?
When Myeong-jin takes a dump
water comes out
and washes away
Myeong-jin's poop.
Master, stop saying nonsense.
Seriously.
But if that could really happen,
it would be very clean.
If such a thing gets invented,
I will sell water and become rich.
Come on. Water is everywhere.
Why would people pay for money?
Right. There's plenty of water in Joseon.
There's no way people will pay for money.
Joseon is such a great country.
Myeong-jin will make Joseon even better.
I will join you.
I will be your apprentice forever.
Great.
What's wrong?
How could this happen?
This is...
My gosh.
This is where Oh Man-sik's sister-in-law lives.
Gosh.
Where's the owner?
We just moved a few days ago. Is there a problem?
Where's the lady who lived here?
You mean the widower with two daughters, right?
Back to their hometown, they went.
I think it was Gaeseong.
They were sending some stuff
to their hometown and had a boatload.
-Did they say where their hometown is? -Gaeseong.
How is it Gaeseong again?
What are you doing over there?
You're late.
Is that dried mugwort?
Do you believe in the urban legend that mugwort smells drive away ghosts?
I just liked the scent spreading along the night wind.
It makes me feel at ease.
Does being in an unfamiliar place make you feel uncomfortable
or are you just worried about
of the crown prince?
Don't worry. It'll all work out.
Father must've brought you here since he has a way.
What kind of man is His Highness?
I heard he's your friend.
His Highness has natural administrative talent.
He's clever and careful
and he doesn't falter no matter what is thrown at him.
He is also fair.
He's also generous and kind when it comes to people
so I'm sure he'll treat you well.
I guarantee it.
I heard women become troubled
before marriage.
-I guess it's the same for you. -Is it different for men?
What is it like for you?
I apologize.
I heard your fiancé died.
Even if the whole world says she's dead
I feel like she's still alive.
People say that
my fiancé betrayed me
and killed her family because of her love for another person.
But I do not believe those rumors of Gaeseong.
You've never really talked to her
and it was just an arranged marriage,
so how could you trust her like that?
If you are to marry someone,
would you believe the world
or your fiancé?
I guess I want to believe.
Since everyone is pointing fingers at her,
I at least want to believe.
Are you still waiting for her?
She's dead.
She committed a heinous crime
and brought shame to me.
How could I wait for her?
Some once asked the same question.
Back then, I said no.
I felt stupid for waiting.
You're right. I am waiting for her.
I'm still
waiting for her.
But if she's alive...
If she's not looking for you even if she's alive,
maybe she no longer loves you...
I apologize, Seong-on.
I shouldn't have. I don't know the details.
You might be right.
If she's alive, she should've come to me
and if she didn't even though she's alive...
She may not want to come back
like you said.
I'm glad I have someone to talk to about these things.
Feel free to come to me if you want to discuss anything.
I am very good at keeping secrets,
so you can trust me.
Yes, Seong-on.
She was poisoned.
The poison was in here.
Sim Yeong was the one
who gave Lady Jae-yi the bracelet.
So he must be the one who poisoned her family.
He probably turned this bracelet around
when Min Jae-yi was ladling the soup
and that's how the soup was poisoned.
The one who put the poison in the bracelet was aiming to kill Jae-yi's entire family,
but he probably never imagined
that Min Jae-yi wouldn't eat the soup.
So Sim Yeong was planning to kill My Lady...
I mean, he was planning to kill Lady Jae-yi?
But why did he kill the Minister of Personnel's daughter?
That was probably just a coincidence.
Someone in Gaeseong probably sold this
and somehow ended up in Hanyang.
And the Minister of Personnel's daughter just happen to buy it.
On the day she died...
I'm hungry.
-Could you buy some rice cakes? -Yes, My Lady.
I like this.
What is this?
It opens.
How interesting. I like it even more.
My Lady.
-My Lady. -My Lady.
-Are you okay? -My Lady.
My Lady.
My Lady. Someone please help!
But
How come...
Why would Sim Yeong...
Shouldn't you take it the Royal Inspector's Office
and clear Lady Min Jae-yi's name first?
Yes, you must turn this in and catch that man.
That can't be done.
The whole world believes this bracelet
as a symbol of their love.
They'll just say
they were both in on it.
He's
dead.
He committed suicide and left a note declaring his love to Min Jae-yi.
So the rumors about him and Lady Jae-yi being lovers were true?
-No! -No!
How do you two know?
I mean, I don't think so.
Me too.
Min Jae-yi hasn't appeared since she fell off the cliff
so we'll never know the truth.
But when I read Sim Yeong's suicide note,
I could tell
he really believed that
he and Jae-yi were lovers.
How could he
believe that misunderstanding is true?
It wasn't like he was hit in the head or something.
Was he possessed by a ghost?
Even if he was...
Tell me. What else don't I know?
Tell me what you all know.
The shaman's dried peony petals were also found at Master Min's house.
The dried peony petals were found at Gaeseong?
And Sim Yeong's hair had turned white.
He didn't have white hair before.
So he didn't have white hair before,
but his hair changed colors.
You're late.
Father.
I had a lot of work to do.
All you do is fool around the marketplace.
I know you have nothing to do.
You probably heard, but the Minister of Personnel's daughter has passed away.
You must be cautious for the time being.
Yes, Father.
You're here.
Why you little... Aren't you going to greet your mother?
-Father. -Yes?
Did you see the shaman during the interrogation?
Of course. Why are you asking me about her?
Did she have white hair?
How did you know that?
She really had white hair.
She was very peculiar.
A gloydius saxatilis appeared and bit...
Gloydius saxatilis?
A snake just came out of nowhere
and bit her neck.
Apparently, it was a gloydius saxatilis.
Even a gloydius saxatilis?
Okay. I should get going.
That little...
I can't believe he didn't greet me.
-Now he just left? -Let him go.
Where are you going?
-Leave him be. -That damn Kim...
I'm also a Kim. Just let it go.
That son of a bitch...
Seriously? In front of me?
The similarities between the Cardinal Point and the Gaeseong murder case.
And now a snake...
Wait...
This is also connected to the Crown Prince.
We need to find out why Sim Yeong put the poison
inside the bracelet and who's behind it.
That way we'll be able to find out who sent the ghost's letter to you.
As you said you'll not return to Seong-on once it's all over,
will you plan to return to Gaeseong with Ga-ram?
If I go back to being Min Jae-yi,
I will not go back to Gaeseong.
How so?
I used to live with my family there.
It would be awfully lonely to live alone there.
I will find a suitable husband for Ga-ram
and I will live alone in Hanyang.
That way, I'll be able to see you parade across Hanyang
after you become the king.
If there's a chance to see you after you become the king
I would walk a thousand miles.
What would you do if you live alone?
I could go to Manyeondang once in a while and become Master Kim's partner.
We could solve cases
and help innocent people clear their names.
Oh, right.
We could also teach the kids the Korean alphabet.
The nobles use Chinese,
but the Korean alphabet is easy,
so that everyone, regardless of status, can learn it.
Instead of the rich kids, I will teach
the Korean to the kids from the lower classes.
When you become the king,
could you make some donation of Heesa?
DONATING MONEY OR THINGS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE
So you're going to live in Hanyang alone.
What kind of house do you want to live in?
I don't mind if it's a thatched house or a single room.
But I hope
an apricot tree in the front yard.
If you live alone,
will you think of me sometimes?
I will think of you every time the sun rises in the east.
Because that's where you are.
Since the sun rises every day
I'll be thinking of you every day.
Will you think of me too?
I guess I'll be reminded of you from time to time.
Whenever I see a young eunuch running around
or see a eunuch good at swearing
or a eunuch who is rude to his elders
I would be reminded of you.
Why are you buying so much?
Isn't it good for you if I buy a lot?
I have my own reasons.
Right.
Are you sending these to your hometown?
How many families do you have
that you're buying all of these and sending them monthly?
Are you the only one supporting them?
None of your business.
Make way! The Minister of Justice is coming through.
Make way.
-Stop them. -Step back.
This is very expensive.
Careful! Move out of the way.
This way.
Let's go.
Make way. The Minister of Justice is coming through.
Why aren't you answering me?
Lift your head up.
Who are you and where do you work?
I'm just a lowly innkeeper
who lives paycheck to paycheck.
Hold on.
Lift your head up.
Not you. The one with the round face.
Yes, you. Lift your head up.
Yes, My Lord.
Let me down.
Haven't you seen me before?
On the day when you broke your porcelain...
Not then!
Where could a lonely person like me possibly have seen you?
Here. Be careful.
I've definitely seen you before.
Look at me.
You're sure you haven't seen me before?
I swear I haven't.
I swear
I have seen you before.
Where have I seen you before?
Forget it.
I must've been mistaken since you have a very common face.
I'm sure I've seen him before.
You little...
I remember you now.
Did you bring charcoal
to my place last winter?
No, My Lord. I'm an herbalist.
Nevermind then.
Where have I seen him before?
Be careful with the porcelain.
If that gets destroyed, so will you.
I swear...
Stupid hiccups.
Give it.
Go make way.
Seriously.
Make way. The Minister of Justice is coming through.
Make way. The Monster of Justice...
Monster? I'm Minister!
I gave you a bowlful.
Enjoy.
You don't need to do that.
Dal-rae said we should pay you back in any way we can.
We'll clean up that table over there too.
You don't have to work or pay me back.
You should not raise them like that.
Go and do your work.
People should be able to fend for themselves.
I'm not trying to make you pay for the food.
Parents shouldn't raise their children like that.
I'm saying this as your father.
Hey, Man-deok.
Come over here.
Not you two.
That place, Manyeondang...
You do know that I own that place, right?
I rented that place to that mad scientist,
but I'm going to have to kick him out.
I have no idea what he's doing in there.
He seemed pretty quiet these days.
What is up with you?
Those two scholars who keep coming seem weird too.
The two handsome scholars?
They are good people.
What is up with you?
Are you being a bully just because you have a house?
I have two houses.
Have you ever seen anyone who owns two houses around here?
So? What are you going to do?
Come closer.
A few days ago, when the Minister of Personnel's daughter died
I saw that scholar who looks like a girl
took a bracelet
from the body.
They stole from the body!
The two guys in Manyeondang and those two scholars
are all in it.
They were sending signals to each other like this.
It was all planned from the start. They are criminals.
Someone died and they stole a bracelet, even though it was a cheap one.
Do you think that makes sense?
Those thieves...
Do you think they're from Byeokcheon?
The Chief State Councilor's youngest son is now hanging around
with Byeokcheon thieves.
If he was my son, I would've...
You would've what? What?
You little...
I'm just saying if they're from Byeokcheon we should kick them out...
Just go! Just clean up the chicken poop.
Go!
Why does everyone hate people from Byeokcheon?
I told you people hate us.
I saw someone being expelled a few days ago as he came from Byeokcheon.
That's why you should never tell anyone you're from Byeokcheon.
Is everyone from Byeokcheon really thieves?
I heard you're feeling better.
I'm sorry I made you worry.
I will rush your marriage.
Father, maybe you should think about...
The Left State Councilor's niece will be your wife.
That means...
You must know better than anyone how loyal the Left State Councilor
and Section Chief Han are.
The Chief State Councilor is upright and filial
and has undying fidelity toward me
so the Right State Councilor is nothing compared to him.
But that would make the Chief State Councilor
as your in-law.
If you are to become the king,
you're going to need a family to support you.
Keep in mind that hegemony is
a part of the political affair.
In Joseon, the only family that can stand up to the Cho family
is the Han family.
As you said, if Lord Cho had given
those assassins the order to kill you at Paju,
what do you think that means?
It shows their ambition to depose you
and get Prince Myeong-ahn to become the king.
If they want Prince Myeong-ahn to take the throne,
it means they want to put the Royal Court beneath them.
If you fail to ascend the throne,
our family will be put in danger.
This marriage is necessary for you
and for Joseon.
Hold hands with the Chief State Councilor.
That's the only way to ascend the throne.
Do you understand?
Even if you have arms, you won't be able to use them.
You won't be able to walk even if you have legs.
You will grow old and die alone
without a wife or children.
This is an award from His Majesty
to all who have passed the loyalty test.
Make sure to become a eunuch loyal to His Highness.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
I never thought I'd get to taste it so precious.
I'm about to cry.
Is it good?
-Have some. -Okay.
What did you throw away?
My heart.
Court Lady Choi.
You work for my late brother, didn't you?
Yes, Your Highness.
What did he do
when he had a lot of trivial thoughts on his mind?
Prince Ui-hyeon never forgot that as the future king
he would have to ascend the throne someday.
He reminded himself that the king is like God to his subjects
and was very strict when it came to trivial feelings.
Right.
It's just trivial feelings.
What good are feelings if you can't express them?
What good is a gift if you can't give it?
It's
all over now.
I was on my way to see you. I had something to tell you.
You may leave. I must speak to Section Chief Han privately.
As you asked, I went to see Oh Man-sik's sister-in-law,
but she had already left.
When I asked her neighbor,
she apparently left for Gaeseong a few days ago.
Oh Man-sik is sending items to Gaeseong, and his sister-in-law...
How is it all connected to Gaeseong?
Okay.
Good job.
I'm glad you look healthy.
Are you feeling better?
I'm doing just fine.
I didn't see Eunuch Go earlier.
Is his leg okay?
He hurt his leg in Paju that day.
He went through all over the mountain with an injured leg to find you.
You didn't know?
Your Highness. I brought something delicious today.
It's a special snack given by His Majesty.
Have you ever heard of a special snack given by His Majesty?
I could've eaten it alone,
but I brought it to eat with you.
Can you feel my sincerity?
-Are you hurt? -No. I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Are you hurt anywhere else?
No. It's nothing.
Didn't I tell you to wash
the inkstone and grind the ink stick before I came?
Yes, I'll get right on it.
Did His Majesty say something?
You seemed troubled since you got back.
He talked about my marriage.
Oh, marriage.
Wasn't there something you wanted to tell me?
Pardon?
At the apothecary shed in Paju.
Your Highness, there's something I must tell you.
Please wake up and listen to me.
Tell me what you wanted to say back then.
It wasn't something I wanted to say to you when you're about to get married.
Why aren't you saying anything?
I forgot.
I heard you hurt your leg in Paju.
Why didn't you say anything?
I get hurt all the time.
You don't have to worry about me.
Whether I worry about you or not,
you should've told me.
On top of that, you lied to me. You said you didn't get hurt.
Was I supposed to whine about my leg
when you got hurt really badly and almost died?
Why are you nitpicking about what happened in the past?
Nitpicking?
When I tell you what you did wrong,
you were supposed to say sorry, you rude brat.
You even forgot to grind the ink stick.
You're never going to apologize, are you?
So stubborn.
-What? -You told me to grind the ink stick
so pick up your brush.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
You're excused.
What are you doing? I told you to leave.
I'm supposed to stay with you.
You're making me really uncomfortable.
Pardon?
How am I making you uncomfortable?
You
are very chatty.
You are stubborn
and you keep making me repeat myself.
You frequently stumble and make errors. You only care about what's in your head.
And you have no sincerity in serving me.
This is so unfair. I have been...
Plus, you are not very ladylike.
You drink alcohol,
you used indecent language and you talk about your dirty thoughts
without shame.
Moreover, you're in love with someone while dressed as a eunuch.
You don't know when to walk or when to run and just jump head-on.
You keep getting hurt due to that. In Paju, you hurt leg.
You got hurt during the loyalty test. You don't listen when I worry about you.
You refused to go to Seong-on. Who's this guy you're in love with?
Why do you want to know so badly?
Are you going to make me marry him?
Yes. Go to him.
You seemed determined to hurt me today. Is there anything else you want to say?
You...
You are...
You are not pleasant to look at.
Now it's about my face?
Yes, I'm very ugly
so it seems like the guy I'm in love with hates me too.
You are excused.
That's an order. Get out of here.
This snack was given by His Majesty
to those who passed the loyalty test.
I held myself back to bring this to you
and share it with you.
But now you're pointing out
all my flaws out of blue
so I'm just going to go and clean up.
Enjoy.
He talked about my marriage.
Marriage...
Right. His Highness was about to get married.
Brief encounters can have a significant impact.
How could a woman with ambition
just die like that?
I hope you rest in peace.
Rest in peace.
Gosh.
Gosh, Su-hyang.
Gosh.
Sorry for your loss.
Thank you for coming.
Your Majesty wants you to take some time off...
-You should... -No.
I should keep working.
The Crown Princess will be selected soon. And I have other work to do.
Things must be tough but hang in there.
Yes, My Lord.
Go on inside.
How could this happen?
His daughter died.
Shouldn't they have done an autopsy to find out
the cause of death?
Gosh.
She never even got married.
A lowly coroner shouldn't be touching her body, isn't it?
Gosh.
Is that offensive?
The Minister of Personnel
didn't request an autopsy?
It is quite common
since it would be shameful for a coroner
to see the naked body of a girl.
But without an autopsy
to find out how she died, she won't be able to rest in peace.
Your Highness, it's Tae-gang.
Come in.
Park Han-su really mentioned the Cho family?
Yes, I heard him say it.
Not just Park Han-su.
He said other people from the Cho family received even more money.
It seems pretty clear that Lord Cho gave them the money.
There's no way that's the only thing he did.
He must've something to do with what happened in Byeokcheon ten years ago.
He said he had something to tell Lord Cho
and that the whole world could change.
Bring me evidence that proves he got money from the Right State Councilor.
Then I'll go see him myself.
Your Highness.
Why do you want to know about the truth of Byeokcheon?
What are you going to do if you find out the truth?
If something went wrong
I'll have to make it right.
If someone was wrongly convicted, I will clear his name.
If someone is in pain,
I will offer my consolation.
And
if someone needs to be convicted,
I will make sure he gets punished.
While you try to find proof...
Is there anything else I need to do?
I want you to look into a house.
Somewhere not too far from Manyeondang.
It will be a school to teach children.
It should have a huge upper floor.
Since a woman will be living in it alone,
find out who lives in the neighborhood.
And
it would be nice if you could see the sunrise.
Yes, Your Highness.
And there needs to be an apricot tree in the yard.
If there's no such yard
have someone plant a beautiful one in secret.
Yes. Your Highness.
Only my bracelet was made differently.
Was he planning to kill
my family since then?
GAESEONG MURDER CASE
SONG, GA, MYEOL, LEE
SHAMAN CARDINAL POINT CASE
HIS HIGHNESS
His Highness is Scholar Park
who can't even shovel.
He didn't show up for a month
while His Highness was confined.
-what did you do for His Highness? -I had personal matters.
I was shoveling.
You were shoveling for a whole month?
Then Eunuch Go...
-Will you do the rice poison test? -You know?
I know I'm not the lady you're in love with,
but I'm here to ask you to work on a case.
Eunuch Go is
Min Jae-yi from Gaeseong.
You're looking at that again?
Take a look at it yourself.
See if there's something you missed.
SONG, GA, MYEOL, LEE MESSENGER
Right, the messenger.
Lady Jae-yi saw his face in Gaeseong
and she said it was not the messenger who ended up dead.
-What are you talking about? -The man Lady Jae-yi saw
was the Crown Prince's
closest bodyguard.
Don't you know me?
It's me. Kim Myeong-jin of Manyeondang.
But he was in the palace at the time.
What's weirder is
when these red papers were scattered the one who was wearing the mask
and attacked us was also the bodyguard.
Lady Jae-yi must be really out of it.
How can someone be in two places at once?
It's not like he has superpowers.
Did Lady Jae-yi come to Manyeondang?
Pardon?
How did she see the body of the messenger?
And how did she see the man
who attacked us on the day the red papers were scattered?
How did she see them?
I'm not so sure.
I only heard it from Eunuch Go.
I'll write it down.
You are Jang Ga-ram.
Lady Min Jae-yi's servant.
IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE
Well if it isn't Eunuch Go. It's been a while.
Yes, My Lord.
How have you been?
How is it staying at the East Palace?
Good. I like it there.
Do you like the East Palace
or the Crown Prince?
Pardon? There's no eunuch who doens't like His Highness...
I see.
So you like His Highness.
Of course you do.
Yes. Of course.
My Lord. I'm running an errand, so I should get going.
Right. Of course. Go ahead.
This is a terrible drawing.
No wonder no one recognized her.
Who drew this?
Your Highness, are you also on your way to see Prince Myeong-ahn?
I heard he's talking nonsense and keeps throwing up.
What do we do?
Has Prince Myeong-ahn's illness gotten worse?
Your Highness, just one bite.
-Try some. -That's enough, Princess Ha-yeon.
Even if he eats, he'll throw it right back up.
We can't force him to eat.
Prince Myeong-ahn, you won't be able to last like this.
Court Lady Han, please give us the room.
Yes, Your Highness.
What are you so afraid of?
It wasn't a ghost that set fire to the plum tree.
It was a human.
Hwan figured it all out.
But Ha-yeong, I'm more afraid of people.
People can do anything.
If a person set fire to the plum tree,
he could kill me just as easily, Mother.
What made you think of that?
That will never happen.
You must stay strong.
Mother is right.
Mom, Hwan, and I are here
as well as father, the King of Joseon,
so no one would dare to hurt you.
What is it?
What are you looking at? Look at me.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me, Ui-hyeon.
Are you seeing things?
Ui-hyeon? There's no one here.
No.
It wasn't me.
I didn't know. I swear.
What is wrong with you?
I had no idea you were taking
decocted atractylodes herbs.
And I also didn't know it would be fatal
if it's taken with peaches.
If I had known,
I would never have given them to you.
Mother, it was me.
I gave peaches to Ui-hyeon...
What are you saying?
Are you trying to get yourself killed?
Your Highness, His Majesty is here.
-Giyeok. -Giyeok.
-Kiyeok. -Kiyeok.
-Yieung. -Yieung.
-Digeud. -Digued.
-Nieun. -Nieun.
I will think of you every time the sun rises in the east.
Because that's where you are.
The sun rises every day
so I'll be thinking of you every day.
Will you think of me too?
I guess I'll be reminded of you from time to time.
Jae-yi.
I'll think of you every day.
I'll think of you whenever I go to the library.
Whenever I go to your room,
I'll think of you.
I will protect you and you will protect me.
I will think of you
every time I sit in my room.
Every time I see a short, thin eunuch...
Every time I get dressed
and wherever I go in this huge palace,
I will think of you.
Jae-yi, if you live in this house
I will be left alone in the palace.
If you leave me,
who will I talk to?
Who will I depend on
and who will
make me laugh?
OUR BLOOMING YOUTH
Who is that moron you're in love with?
So-eun, from the Han family...
When I went to carve my child's grave, I heard a strange rumor.
Are you just going to sit and watch?
I'm afraid you'll be in danger if you chase them.
Then you protect me.
How can you trust me like that?
I saw you near my kitchen for sure.
Does dressing like a eunuch make you blind?
I need to know the truth to be able to protect you.
Mother.
Everything was a lie.
