01x15 - Episode 15

[bunniefuu]

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
k*lled 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 m*rder*r 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 sl*ves.

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 k*lled 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?

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 k*ll 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 k*ll
My Lady...

I mean,
he was planning to k*ll Lady Jae-yi?

But why did he k*ll
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 b*tch...

Seriously? In front of me?

The similarities between the Cardinal Point
and the Gaeseong m*rder 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 k*ll 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.

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-g*ng.

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 k*ll

my family since then?

GAESEONG m*rder 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 k*ll 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 k*lled?

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.
