Episode 39
Are you awake?
Who are you?
You're safe, so please get some rest.
There's no time for this.
There's someone I've to see.
There are people looking for you everywhere.
This place is out of the way,
so it'll be safer for you to stay here until they leave.
- Over there! - After her!
Get her!
Get her.
After her!
Get her.
- We've to get her! - Over there!
After her!
Get her!
Who are you people?
Why are you chasing me?
Capture her.
Yes.
Who are you people?
Why are you threatening a woman?
This has nothing to do with you people.
Go on your way.
You!
Retreat!
After them!
Hey!
Crown princess!
Crown prince!
Looks like soldiers passed here.
She couldn't have gotten far if she was injured.
Search the area.
Who knows, she might be hiding in a cave?
Hurry!
Yes, crown prince.
Follow every little trace.
- Understand? - Yes!
Find blood,
- footprints or traces of a fire. - Yes!
- Search well! - Yes!
You don't have to worry. [Jin Mu]
We're not trying to hurt you.
You don't look like a Houyan person.
I'm a Goguryeo citizen.
I was taken to Houyan during the battle.
Slave merchants were selling Goguryeo people,
so I was running away.
Get ready some clothes for her.
If there's a Goguryeo woman among us,
they will probably be suspicious.
Yes, I will.
- Come with me. - Yes.
I don't even know who you are,
I can't receive help from you.
I'm Asin, the lord of Baekje's Gwanmiseong.
Are you surprised because I'm from Bakeje?
Baekje and Goguryeo might be fighting over territory,
but I wouldn't harm every person from Goguryeo.
Especially not an injured woman.
Thank you,
but I've received enough help.
I won't forget this.
Are you alright?
No matter what, you look like you need more help.
Also, there are people after you.
My men will take you to our boat at the inlet.
Get some rest there.
We must go to the Houyan palace.
The Houyan royal palace?
I won't tell anyone about you,
so don't worry.
So...
Perhaps...
I can find out what happened to the crown prince, who knows?
How did it go?
I'm sorry, we lost her.
You found her, but you lost her?
How come you can't even capture one woman?
Some strangers got in our way. [Po Ung / Ban Cho]
I'm sorry.
How dare you appear here in front of me?
What are you doing?
Drag her out of here immediately and kill her!
You should know what's the price of betraying your own people. Hurry!
You won't, I will.
- Chief! - Chief!
Calm down!
Leave us, all of you.
Tell me, why did you do that?
Why did you betray me and your people?
It was for the future of our people.
The plan has already failed.
Damdeok will do what he can to prove his innocence.
General Fengba will look for a scapegoat to put all the blame.
That scapegoat will most probably be the Mohe.
No way!
Would I let him do that to us again?
Yes, we'll lose again.
A general without any morals,
wouldn't he bound to lose in battle?
What?
At least crown prince Damdeok
is someone who knows what is right.
I'm from an enemy nation and the sister of this enemy.
When he thought I did nothing wrong,
he let me go.
And he saved my life and besides that,
he saved your life.
Looking at crown prince Damdeok...
we only plot schemes all the time...
made me very embarrassed.
Why can't the Mohe do any better?
That hurt my pride.
That's why...
- That's why I wanted to kill him. - Brother.
You can only maintain your pride when you've power.
Do you think I'm not humiliated?
I tried everything to kill him and he's still alive.
Don't you think I'm suffering?
But I can't stop.
The only way to restore my pride...
is to kill that punk Damdeok.
Even if no one else could,
you should understand that.
You're my sister.
You should have known how much pain I'm in.
Brother, if you change your attitude now...
No.
This fight already started...
unless that punk or I die...
it definitely wouldn't end.
Leave.
Brother!
I can't kill you.
The reason I'm letting you go without taking your life...
It will be the last time because we're family.
Leave quickly.
I don't want to get your blood on my sword.
Leave quickly!
Crown prince!
How did it go?
We can find no trace of the crown princess anywhere no matter what.
We had someone ask all the doctors. [Won Bong / Ung Sim]
We haven't seen anyone suspicious.
Goguryeo would have probably received this news by now.
If we don't settle this quickly, it'll become a larger problem.
From what I found out,
all paths to Goguryeo have already been sealed off by the soldiers.
Let's go to the Houyan royal palace.
Having them confront Sagal Hyeon would be the fastest way to settle this.
You can't, crown prince.
I can't?
We don't know who framed you yet.
They wouldn't have been so careless that my showing up would settle this.
That's right, crown prince.
If we can't find out who did this,
you could be trapped again.
That's right, crown prince.
You definitely can't return without a plan.
Then, I'll go to check out the situation.
That's too dangerous.
If Sagal Hyeon gets caught, it'll be all over.
He'll be captured immediately.
I did a study of the surrounding areas including the Houyan palace.
There shouldn't be a problem.
- Move as covertly as possible. - Yes.
Also, Damju will be very worried.
Tell her I'm alright.
Yes, crown prince.
Then, I'll keep looking for the crown princess.
I'll go with you.
- Let's go. - Yes!
[Houyan royal palace]
Stop!
Princess, I'm Sagal Hyeon.
Watch the door.
Yes.
What are you doing here?
The crown prince is worried for you.
He said to tell you he's alright.
Really? Is he really alright?
Yes.
But did my brother really try to kill the emperor?
Definitely not.
That's good.
However, what about Doyeong unni, the crown princess?
Did something happen?
Crown prince.
Why do you look surprised, like you saw a ghost?
- Is she inside? - What?
That...
Crown prince!
What's that?
- I'll give it to her. - Move aside.
I'll give it to her myself.
Crown prince!
What brings you here?
There is a lot of commotion in court because of your brother Damdeok
Did you come to spy on me now?
No.
I didn't want you to receive any suspicion.
Princess, don't walk about too much and don't worry.
Everything will work out fine.
What do you mean?
I'll take care of everything, so you don't have to worry.
Crown prince.
It's strange.
My brother tried to kill your father, the emperor of Houyan.
Why aren't you disappointed with me at all?
That's...
Do you happen to know that my brother is innocent?
That's something I can't be sure of.
So why did you tell me not to worry?
I just don't want any political problems between us.
It's not a political problem, it has to do with my family.
It's natural that I'm worried.
I'm your family too.
You're already my wife.
Did you say your wife?
Yes.
Yes, that's right. I'm your wife.
But we both love different countries.
That's why we have to make more of an effort.
If you want our countries to be close and for us to be close,
you should prove my brother's innocence first.
I know more than anyone you had a hostile relationship with my brother.
Would a grudge like that go away so easily?.
Stop it!
I came to comfort you because I thought you'd be sad.
Then, please let leave me alone.
Please leave for today.
Give this to her.
It's Goguryeo food. She'll like it.
Yes.
Princess.
I'm not sure if the Houyan crown prince plotted this,
but I'm sure he's involved.
Tell my brother.
I'll do everything I can to help brother.
Yes, the crown prince will be very encouraged by hearing that.
Please take care of yourself.
That's the best you can do for the crown prince.
Right, I heard a Baekje envoy was locked up because of this.
Can Baekje be involved?
Yes, I heard about that.
I'll let the crown prince know and find out more.
Please don't worry too much.
I'm sorry about this.
What a mess.
But,
why are you still in Houyan territory?
There's something I need to verify. [Bu Yeohong]
Verify?
The alliance between Baekje and Houyan,
wasn't it Damdeok who interfered?
I heard he was in Houyan and wanted to see him for myself.
It's not bad to know your enemy.
I see.
Guess so as I don't think Baekje would have any reason to do that.
My brother and that punk Fengba
made a real big mistake.
And I think this matter is an effort to denigrate your merits.
My merits?
Please think about it.
Baekje's secret alliance with Houyan was ruined by Goguryeo.
But you maintained it.
There must be people who envy such an achievement.
Then, what should I do?
First...
you should focus on finding the real culprit.
By doing that yourself,
your position will be more secure.
- Let's go. - Yes.
I just talked to Bu Yeohong.
Our misunderstandings were settled.
There is no reason for Baekje to try and kill you.
Brother and Fengba caught the wrong person, father.
The crown prince and general Fengba were too hasty.
We've to consider their positions,
so we can't just release the prisoners.
Find out for sure.
Yes, father.
Stop!
Are you the chief of the Goguryeo migrant village?
[Song Pil: chief of the Goguryeo migrant village]
Yes.
No need to be afraid.
You just answer a few questions and nothing will happen to you.
Have you all ever seen me before?
No.
Then, have you seen them before?
No, I haven't.
You!
Tell the truth.
Why are you answering without even taking a good look?
Stop!
General Fengba!
Step back.
He tricked us.
All I can think of during this torture is finding him.
I haven't seen him yet.
You said it was dark and he was wearing a hat,
so you couldn't see his face well.
[Weiyuan]
You never know, this could be your last chance to live.
Tell us.
The Goguryeo person who came to the Goguryeo migrant village,
was wearing black clothes... and...
he was tall.
Anything else besides that?
This has the crown prince's seal.
He has a huge scar on his hand.
It was dark, but I remember it for sure.
Your Majesty,
the Baekje envoys don't have anything to do with this matter.
Release the Baekje envoys and serve them well.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Asin.
Maybe I didn't have to come.
I thought you were in trouble.
I'm sorry.
Please say hello.
This is prince Murong Xi of Houyan.
I'm Asin, the lord of Baekje's Gwanmiseong.
Nice to meet you, I'm Murong Xi.
I'm sorry for making you come all the way because of this trouble.
There's no trouble.
This is a very warm welcome.
Baekje will repay you for this next time.
I'd like to show a gesture of apology.
Do you have any more business with the Houyan palace?
No, just to receive a formal apology.
I'll get going then for today.
Lord Asin!
What happened?
You must have arrested the Baekje envoys for a good reason.
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
This incident with the Baekje envoys is so embarrassing!
And they were our guests.
Your Majesty.
Yes, did the Baekje envoys leave?
They were pretty upset this time.
The direction of the investigation was wrong from the start.
The Baekje envoys had no reason to kill you.
Your brother's right.
It's the same with Damdeok.
He raised a sword to my throat and took off.
If he had wanted to kill me,
he had many chances to.
This definitely is done by someone else who is after my life.
But, Your Majesty,
if it's not the crown prince of Goguryeo,
who would dare try to kill you?
That's right, Your Majesty.
He even used the innocent Goguryeo migrants.
Damdeok's very meticulous.
But considering the circumstances,
it would be a bit too much to say that crown prince Damdeok planned this.
Because Damdeok knew that you were traveling incognito,
so we only focused on Damdeok. [Yangyou / Weiyuan]
But there could be other people behind this.
That's right, Your Majesty.
We should fully investigate this matter.
I agree with you.
From today,
general Yangyou and general Weiyuan
will investigate this incident with Xi.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, what about me?
You're the one who caused all this.
Do you think I'll leave it to you again?
Crown prince, until I give further orders,
you take a step back.
Crown prince.
What are you going to do now?
Please calm down, Your Highness.
Calm down? Do you think I can calm down?
If they find out about this,
I'll turn out to be the one who tried to kill father.
They will misunderstand that I tried to take over his power.
Power?
Don't even say such things like that, Your Highness.
Your Highness, please be strong.
We don't know anything about this.
You still!
We must blame everything on Damdeok
and capture him, Your Highness.
Sagal Hyeon will be with Damdeok.
Are you going to give Sagal Hyeon a scar that he doesn't have?
- Your Highness, I'll take care of that... - Crown prince! Crown prince!
Crown prince, the Mohe chief would like to see you.
Seol Doan?
He was wearing black clothes and was tall.
He has a huge scar on his hand.
It was dark, but I remember that for sure.
The Mohe must not eat very well.
That scar may look old,
but it hasn't healed yet.
It won't do you much good now to stay in Houyan.
His Majesty has given an order for a full investigation,
this could affect you and the Mohe.
General Fengba, you're not afraid that it'll affect you?
Hey, chief.
If they find out you and the Mohe were involved this matter,
you'll be in a bind then.
It could threaten the safety of our crown prince too.
So, you want to abandon the Mohe and blame everything on us?
Why do you only think of one thing and nothing else?
Just step back for a while first.
The crown prince will hold hands with the Mohe again when things calm down.
Wasn't this already promised from the start?
If something goes wrong, the Mohe will take the blame.
You said it was a risk, but you'd take it.
Didn't you say so yourself?
I think the crown prince is generous because he's letting you take refuge.
Hey!
Stupid fool.
General Fengba
will look for a scapegoat to put all the blame on.
That scapegoat will most probably be the Mohe.
I've buried myself in my own grave.
Where is Seol Ji?
I've some men secretly following her.
We'll bring her back right away if you give the order.
No.
Whatever her intentions were,
it's a fact she disobeyed my order.
But that was all for our people.
For the sake of maintaining order.
it can't be forgiven.
Seol Ji,
can't you convince me in any other way?
[Gungnaeseong: Capital of Goguryeo]
Give us some unrefined rice wine.
Oh, right, have you heard?
I asked you, did you hear?
What?
The crown prince tried to murder the emperor of Houyan.
The crown prince did?
- No way. - It's true.
The rumors are everywhere.
Who knows, we might have to go to battle against Houyan again.
He must be really mad that he had to give up his only sister.
That's right.
Honestly, I wouldn't want my sister to go far away.
Is the crown prince such a rash person?
He wouldn't do anything to harm the country.
Those Houyan barbarian must have framed him.
That's right.
Those evil barbarians are slandering our crown prince.
I believe in our crown prince.
I was just wondering.
I hope the crown prince can return safely.
[Buyeoseong, northern Goguryeo]
Commander!
What is it?
Commander,
there is a sudden increase of soldiers at the Houyan border.
And all the passages from Houyan to Goguryeo have been sealed off.
- What? - Are you sure?
That's what we know at the moment.
We'll have to go to Houyan directly to find out the details.
Commander, isn't it a serious problem if something happened in Houyan?
The crown prince and crown princess are in Houyan now.
Does this happen to have something to do with the crown prince?
No matter what, I'm worried.
Mo Duru, go to Houyan and find out more.
Yes, commander.
Let's go.
Yakyeon,
you go to Gungnaeseong and see if there was any news from Houyan.
Yes, father.
If this goes on,
the crown prince could be stuck in Houyan.
Still no news from the crown prince? [Gungnaeseong palace]
No, Your Majesty.
Officer Hwang Hoe reported yesterday,
but there was nothing special has been received yet.
I've heard some rumors regarding the crown prince at the market.
Don't you know what's going on?
There seems to be something going on,
but we don't know where the rumors came from and if they are true or not.
Your Majesty,
how about I go to Houyan myself as an envoy?
You can't do that yet.
If you move too soon, you and the crown prince could be in a bind too.
Your Majesty, Cheongun's officer Hwang Hoe is here.
- Quickly show him in. - Yes.
Your Majesty,
there are suspicious movements at the prime minister's.
What?
Prime minister!
[Yeongung: Gae Yeonsu's quarters]
Damdeok is on the run after a failed attempt to murder the Houyan emperor.
Things are going as expected.
Yes, but the problem is...
Problem?
- Well, that... - Hurry, speak up.
That's...
the crown princess is missing.
What did you just say?
The crown princess...
do you mean Doyeong?
Most probably...
they say that she could be dead.
I only received a short secret message.
I definitely told you I wouldn't forgive anyone who harmed Doyeong.
I told them that very clearly.
But the problem...
is that all this was because of crown prince Damdeok.
How can such a thing happen? How could it be?
Leave right away now.
Go and find out what's going on.
What are you doing?
I told you to go and find out what happened to Doyeong!
Yes.
Prime minister!
What are you all doing here?
Let go of me!
Prime minister!
