Torture them again!
Stop!
Stop. It's the order of the Queen
Release them!
What are you talking about?
There is no problem with the food
There's no problem with the food?
Then what?
It's due to a misdiagnosis
Misdiagnosis?
Is this true?
Yes, sir
(Episode 45)
How did this happen?
I don't know
They said it was the order of the Queen
That means...
She's been finding out more about the illness while...
everyone thought she had been punished by the inspectors
By the order of the Queen?
Yes
Are you saying that our lives are in Jang-Geum's hand right now?
For now...
That girl is still alive?!
Yes, Sir Min said it was the order of the Queen
I didn't give this to the police yet because I didn't know...
how the situation would turn out
That's good...
What could be going on?
The Queen did this against all the rules?
What should we do about Lady Choi's family?
We should get them out first when they're declared innocent
Yes
I've brought everything from my father in Soonchang
Did you bring all of the books written by Jang Joon-Kyung?
Yes. Books on the flu all there by Jang Joon-Kyung
But what kind of family do I have?
Though my grandfather was a minister of the government
he was well versed in medicine so he also acted as a physician
and my grandfather wrote books as a physician as well
So there are books that can't be found anywhere else in Chosun
Jin Gui Yao Lue
Is this one of his books too?
Yes? Yes, he told me that
this is one of the rare books available only in our family
I think he said it lists all other illnesses
What book is this?
It's called "Jin Gui Yao Lue"
Isn't Jang Joon-Kyung a Chinese physician who wrote about the flu?
How come we didn't see this before?
I think it lists many of other illnesses
It probably was overlooked because of his famous book on flu
Where did you find this?
I asked someone at Sung-Gyun College...
to find me a book by Jang Joon-Kyung and he found me that book
I didn't realize it at first but don't you think it's that disease?
But isn't the description too short?
Can you be sure only with few lines?
But they seemed to list important symptoms
Sir!
What is it?
Jang-Geum is back
What?!
Jang-Geum?
What?!
It's Jang-Geum for sure
Please go now...
Did you find the King's illness?
Yes, we've carefully examined many patients...
who had similar flu-like symptoms like the King
But I found out that the problem isn't the flu
If it's not flu...?
When the King didn't have the flu he frequently had a swollen mouth...
and spots on the legs The wound from a thorn festered
and when he received acupuncture as well
They were all same disease
The symptoms of flu and skin problems were all same disease
I've successfully treated two persons with exact same symptoms as the King
Really? You really did that?
Yes, Your Majesty
What is the cause?
How did he get the illness?
I haven't found that out yet
What is the name of this disease that is making the King suffer?
I've found the disease but I haven't found what its name is...
It's Behcet's disease
Then did you know about this already, head physician?
I knew after seeing how often he suffered...
while studying about King's symptoms
I read that he could have a sequela if the flu symptoms...
are prolonged and that it is called Behcet's disease
From a book?
Yes, it's Jang Joon-Kyung's book called "Jin Gui Yao Lue"
Then does it have a prescription too?
Yes, Your Majesty
We can use licorice medicine
No, Your Majesty. We must use Yong-Dam-Sa-Gan medicine
It is due to an inflammation of liver meridians
we must see this as a weakened liver
What are you saying? We must see this as a bad liver and kidney
He drinks much and because he is constantly worried by
the affairs of the court, his liver energy had increased stress
Frequent sickness due to cold, flu & sores have drained his energy...
weakening his ying energy & it has caused a consumptive fever
It's true that many of the patients suffering from frequent flu...
have suffered skin problems before they suffered flu symptoms
It's possible that it isn't a simple sequela due to flu
Do you mean you know more about this than Han dynasty's Wang Shu-He?
I don't mean that...
If not, then why are you trying to refute what is written in the book?
Head physician, she isn't talking about such things right now
What do you mean?
Head physician, please calm down
We read the Golden Coffer Medicine Summary too
but the description was too brief
It's hard to rely on it only...
Are you saying you trust Jang-Geum more than Wang Shu-Be or myself?
That's not what he's trying to say
He's saying that since Jang-Geum has seen...
and treated patients we've never seen before
we ought to be more careful
Even you?! Why are you doing this?
Let's stop this. We need to take care of the King quickly and
the Queen has requested to get a prescription as quickly as possible
so we can't continue on like this
Three physicians will check the King again
And we'll discuss this again
This doesn't make any sense
How could she give such an important order to a mere physician lady...
without telling you when there is Royal Pharmacy?
The Queen has nothing to do with this she can't be interfering like that!
And treat the King relying on a mere physician lady?! It's shocking!
That's right... This can't be...
Head physician, you still haven't changed your mind?
No, Your Majesty. It's a sequela caused by frequent flu
It's Behcet's disease
The prescription I gave initially wasn't wrong and...
I'm also right about the current prescription
What do you think physician Jung?
I think, it's not caused by frequent flu
Then?
It's due to inflammation of liver meridians as Jang-Geum said
Now your diagnosis has become very important. What do you think?
Seeing how his pulse is submerged...
his liver seems have severe stress which is causing the fever, so...
Your Majesty...
the Right Prime Minister & other officials are waiting outside
What is it?
What is this about?
No, Your Majesty. Your health foretells the nation's future
So how could you accept words of a mere physician lady? Please take back
Please take back
And you've ignored the pharmacy and myself to do this when the...
Royal Pharmacy could've found this out, going through the formal process
So the officials are already talking about other motives...
that you might have
Other motives?! How could I have other motives...
besides the one to better the health of the King?
Your Majesty, that's what I'm telling them as well...
but the Confucian scholars and the officials are acting differently
So please correct the path that has taken a temporary wrong way
This should be taken care of by myself and the pharmacy
Your Majesty, please understand us
Please understand us!
Sure. I'll do as you and the head physician say
Your Majesty, you can't do that!
Shut up! How dare you speak like that?!
Your Majesty, I don't normally do this for other things
This is about the health of the King
A wrong prescription directly effects the King's welfare
If we don't treat him right away he will suffer extreme stomach pain
and could have difficulty breathing which can lead to paralysis
and even... and even...
Shut up! How could you speak this way about the health of the King?!
Your Majesty...
Head physician you take care of the King
So they're going to do as the head physician suggested?
Of course...
I don't know why the Queen has ignored us to do this
I know... it doesn't make any sense...
This is the list, go ahead and make it
Yes, sir
Sir, it's written in the book
Don't worry about it
Then the Right Prime Minister has sided with...
the head physician to follow his treatment?
Yes
What is he thinking anyway?
But he couldn't have sided with Jang-Geum though
If the head physician does cure him we won't be going out of here
I'm saying there's something strange with how he's doing things
He should release us first If things turned out this way...
it means there's no solid proof that the food was the problem
so why should we be kept in here?
Tell him that we've asked to be released immediately
Sure
Your Majesty... Your Majesty!
What's wrong?
My lord, are you OK?
Weren't Jang-Geum's words right?
He's has extreme stomachaches and has breathing difficulties
What are you going to do?! What?!
What are you going to do now?
What Jang-Geum has said came true but what about the rules...
and formalities that leave the King like this?
Please bring up the Yong-Dam-Sa-Gan medicine
The acupuncture meridians are Daedon, Kyun, Kwangmyung...
from all the places from Seungeup to Changjook Jungmyung
All the places from Seungeup to Changjook Jungmyung??
What's wrong?
Those spots are too dangerous
We even avoid using them on civilians
That's how much we think of safety for the King
You might be saying that because...
you don't really understand the rule about acupuncturing the King
so please change your mind
Please use those places
Though I don't know about medicine it sounds like the prescription...
and the treatment you've given are dangerous
Why don't you follow the advices of physician Jung and Shin?
I'm worried about it myself, but if the disease has spread to the stomach
and the respiratory organ then it could spread to that place
That place?
The acupuncture is successfully completed
It must go without an accident he must be kept well
If anything goes wrong, then not just the physician lady...
but you and myself, and even the Queen will be put in a danger
And the appeals to impeach you for ignoring the set procedures...
of the Pharmacy's secret order...
for the Queen to do this it's overflowing already
I know
It was reckless
It's too reckless...
His breathing sound seems to indicate he's feeling better now
You think that too?
His breath does seem to be deeper now
Yes, Your Majesty
He seems to be comfortable breathing now and
his stomach pain seems to have come to a lull
So I think he can start eating again
Jang-Geum, tell us what type of food he should eat
But the Highest Lady of the Kitchen...
So you came out?
We can only come out since we've been innocent from the start
You came out because Jang-Geum has said...
the illness is not related to food...
but since the problem of his health and papilionaceous mushroom...
hasn't been solved, your feet will be tied until it has been settled
What?
You will not be able to go out of the palace
and the highest lady won't be preparing King's food for a while
It's only until the issue settles
We heard Jang-Geum treatment worked What more needs to be done?
It's only procedure
Procedure?
Papilionaceous mushroom was found
And you were released because I earnestly requested the Queen
So don't feel sad
Things are difficult for me too I don't know how it will turn out
Sleepy...
Are you selling these?
Yes. You want some? Pay up
No, I don't want it I've made a bet...
with my wife over whether this is a liquor or not. It's over 2 cents
So who won?
I did
Then give me one cent
What? Why?
If you earned 2 cents because of me then one belongs to me
Are you crazy or something?
What the heck, waking me up and...
Honey...
Why are you here again?
You've been doing fine for last 3 days?
Yes
Could something have happened to Sir Min?
Really?
Let's go inside and look for him
Sir Oh, the Right Prime Minister has gone out of his home 3 days ago...
and he hasn't come back
I've watched his place for 3 days without a sleep
Except for two people going into her residence...
the previous head lady hasn't gone outside of her home either
If their relationship isn't disclosed then our Jang-Geum...
I'm sorry
There goes a girl like Jang-Geum...
It isn't someone like her It is Jang-Geum
Then am I dreaming or are we in Jeju?
I didn't have a chance to tell you
but she has been taking refuge temporarily by the order of the Queen
I couldn't tell you because it was a very important order
But even so, how could you have kept it as a secret to us?!
I am really sorry
Do you know how much we've been worrying for her and
spent many sleepless nights? Isn't that right, honey?
Honey...
You're really remarkable!
You've found the King's illness...
I know... she's really remarkable!
I heard he's been improving and he can eat again
How are you feeling, Madam?
Shin-Bi has been taking such a good care of me
my rapid heart beating and dizziness have gone away
You must be careful until the delivery
OK...
Madam, I'm a military official from the royal guards
Is the physician lady Jang-Geum here?
What is this about?
Seize the criminal Jang-Geum!
My lord, look at me. Can you see me?
No... my eyes have darkened so I can't see well
You can't even see me?
I can only see you faintly...
My lord! My lord!
Queen... I can't see...
You can't see, my lord??
The King can't see Because of your prescription
How dare you try to diagnose his illness as a mere physician lady
and the official of the pharmacy to convince the Queen...
to give secret order to bring about such monstrous result?!
Jang-Geum, speak if you have a mouth to speak
Why can't you speak?
You've said that the King's health would greatly deteriorate...
if we didn't follow your prescription
There is no need to listen to her anymore
Drag Sir Min to the police and imprison him
Jang-Geum should be driven out of the palace...
and be beheaded as a public example
Her Majesty the Queen is here
I trusted you... how could you commit such a tragic act?
Tell us the reason! Why did you insist on those acupuncture spots...
even when the Pharmacy tried to prevent it?
I did it to prevent the King from going blind
What do you mean?
It's not because of the acupuncture his eyesight has weakened
It's part of the healing process
Your Majesty!
We couldn't utter such serious consequences to you at the time
but Jang-Geum predicted that it would happen
That's why she gave such prescription
They're lying. They're trying to evade responsibility
There's an infirmary set up by the Queen in the herb garden
You'll find two patients there and one of them has gone blind
So Your Majesty...
Please allow me to check the King's pulse
She's out of her mind! How could a physician lady touch the King...?!
Although I'm a physician lady, I also practice medicine
I've read his private medical records and many other books
but I've never been able to check his pulse myself
Your Majesty!
Please allow me to check him!
Then will you be able to cure him?
Your Majesty I'm sorry to tell you this
but a physician cannot give assurance over an illness
Are you trying to extend your life since you're going to die anyway?
Your Majesty, I'm sorry...
but a physician does not try to save her own life before a patient
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty, it's something you've started anyway...
so I think you should go ahead and make a decision yourself
Sir, a physician lady checking the King's pulse?! That cannot be!
Why didn't you finish it yourself?
Why did you give it to the Queen?
Yes... this is concerning the health of the King
If he happens to lose his eyesight because of that physician lady...
Sir!
What are you planning to do?
We can get rid of the Queen's forces and Left Prime Minister now
If the health of the King happens to be damaged...
Even if that happens what damage would that do to us?
What?
We have the Crown Prince
We can gain everything in one action
I've driven us to the edge of a cliff
At that edge of a cliff you are with me
I said I would be with you whether it'll be one year or ten years
Her Majesty the Queen is here!
If I accept your request I have to hang everything I have on you
I have to put this position as the Queen on the line
I trust your heart and I trust your words
But your heart, or words are not your talents or skills
So I think a good person without skills or...
a bad person with skills can injure a person equally
The former without intent and the latter with intent
That's all the difference
Though it isn't intentional, if your skills lack, I will be hurt
Do I still have to trust you?
Do I have to do that?
Yes
First, you already have lost two legs
By preventing her to check his pulse those two legs won't grow back
But if you allow her to check him so he can be cured...
then your two legs will grow back and you will even gain two wings
Sir...
But that's only possible ifJang-Geum opens the King's eyes
That's the second reason
Physician lady Jang-Geum will most certainly cure him
It's the order of the Queen
Release physician lady Jang-Geum and have her check the King's pulse
But she has ordered Sir Min to be locked up in the jail...
until the treatment is over
Would you be able to make out a prescription?
Leave her alone
It is more important to cure him of the disease
Do it with care and tell us when you've made the prescription
Jang-Geum, what's wrong?
Is your prescription wrong?
No, but...
Then why? How can you be reading books right now?
There's something
I'm suspicious about, I must find it
You see... she was only talking big
I know, she was so sure of herself and she's only reading books now
How could she accept those empty words before death?
Shouldn't we stop her before it's too late?
What if something happens to the King...
before someone could treat him properly?
What if...
Timing is important in treating a person
Is she still reading books?
Yes, she's been on them all day yesterday
I think the King's pulse and her assumptions didn't match up somehow
Yes, I saw her feeling perplexed when she was checking him
She seemed to be somewhat doubtful as well
Something is wrong
She may be trying to be careful since everything depends on this...
What is it?
Did you decide on the prescription?
Yes
What is it?
But I'd like to visit some place before I give prescription
Please allow me...
A place you want to visit?
Your Majesty! You must not allow it
She seemed to be ready to cure him
but she only read books all day yesterday
She could be trying to run away now that she finds it difficult
And the King's eyesight is getting worse day to day
I must confirm if my prescription is correct
That way I can cure his eyesight as well
Your Majesty!
Go
But soldiers will follow you
This is the well for the water reservoir
It's reserved for the King's use
This is the King's bath water
Because of his many skin problems we draw the water from here
Doesn't his meat and milk from this region as well?
That's right
Then I should go there
You should do this for us
What is it?
No matter how I think about it it can only be the head physician...
who put papilionaceous mushroom in our spice jar
We can't suffer like this
Write in a small amount of arsenic poison in the prescription...
written by him before the day when King fell ill
Yes?
I return only as much as I have received. Do that
But I made medicine with that prescription
You only have to say that you only followed his order
and that he has told you it's a medicine for the King
And we'll protect you
You've received goods from us and you said you'll be on our side
Isn't this right?
OK
Only Yeul-Yee could have added the mushroom
We'll see how things will turn out
You put a person behind Yeul-Yee
Yes, ma'am
Are you sure? She really... did meet the attendant of Lady Park?
Yes
Finally, things are becoming clearer
Then Lady Park has been...
What should we do?
Find out what kind relationship Yeul-Yee has with Lady Park
And also, find out who Yeul-Yee's father is
He is the new owner of my brother's herbal fields
Could even the Right Prime Minister Sir Oh Kyum-Ho...?
I don't know...
The disease seems to be Behcet's
but it doesn't seems to be a sequela of flu
I've checked it in various ways
But that's what it is?
It could be. It could cause inflammation of liver meridian
It could show as acute symptoms
but I've seen it come to surface 10 or 20 years later
After checking many things, I've grown to be more confident
Did you decide on the prescription?
Yes
What is it?
It's Bang-Gi root and red ginseng
The reason is...
Bring up the medicine We don't have time
Sure
I need help. Please show me again how to make red ginseng
Then you've been doubting that?
Yes
I hope the head physician won't be put in a more difficult situation
I don't have any objection to his prescription
Your Majesty, it's garlic porridge and pickled plum
Please have this
These are red ginseng cakes
My lord, you still can't see me?
My lord, look at me. Can you see me?
My lord, please look at me
Do you feel better?
My lord! My lord...
Your Majesty, please eat this...
My lord, eat...
My lord! My lord!
I trusted you! But how come his eyes or skin problems aren't improving?
What good is this red ginseng if he can't see?! What good?!
Get them out of here right now!!
Oh, no, Your Majesty. He must eat
He is getting better he will get better
He must eat
I'm the criminal for trusting you
My lord, kill me instead...
Queen, calm down... calm down
My lord!
Get this wench out of here!
Get this girl out of here!!
Your Majesty, the King must take my medicine and food!
That's the only way he'll get healed
Please trust me, Your Majesty!
He must take them! Please trust me!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Lady Suh!
Sir...
Then what will happen now?
The Queen is in agitated state so no one can speak out...
but surely, the head physician's words will carry more weight
Then it's back to the starting point again
Arrest them!
You were speaking so confidently...
Are you afraid?
I'm afraid...
I'm afraid that I might go away like this...
without having cleared Lady Han's name
Criminal Suh Jang-Geum, come out
Confess your crimes!
Confess all the details leading up to current circumstances!
Torture them using leg-screws until they confess their crimes!
Stop!
The Queen has ordered physician lady Jang-Geum to come immediately
What is the reason?
There is no time to give reason
Release her immediately! Hurry!
Jang-Geum, come near quickly!
Come near... come...
After I sent you out, the physicians came to check him
and he's doing much better now
His skin has improved greatly
He no longer has skin problems
Physician Shin and Jung said your prescription works
That's why I called for you again
Although the skin has improved a lot his eyes are still the same
Check him again... Go ahead and check him
Is it over now?
No, just a moment
Please...
Your Majesty, please sit up
Your Majesty, open your eyes now
My lord, open your eyes
