Episode 37
Don't lose him!
Stop chasing him.
Let's go back.
Whenever I want to see you... I will tie a red cloth outside.
Don't forget.
I will... tie a red cloth...
Watching you getting attacked by the sword and floating down the river...
I've never once forgotten about it.
What happened?
We got rid of him without any mistakes.
You sure this time?
I took his last breath with my own hands.
Good work!
Tell Jo Gui In.
She can sleep in peace now.
Will it be okay to keep that the Nam boy is still alive?
We can't kill our hunter.
She nearly killed him twice
so I'm sure he'll kill her on my behalf.
Which room does Jo Gui In sleep in?
I... I don't know.
Then which room does the King sleep in?
It... it hasn't been long since I moved to the palace so--
- You sure? - Yes, Lady Gui In.
The Jang boy said he killed him himself.
Pardon my Lady but why did you cut out Lord Kim?
It's time we part ways...
Do you truly wish for Prince Suk Chul to be crowned?
At the very least to stop Prince Bong Rim from being crowned.
If Prince Suk Chul is crowned--
That cannot happen!
Then what do you plan to do?
Court Lady Kim, help me.
The child you switched with Jing.
Find her.
- That child-- - I know she is alive!
For as long as that child is alive Jing cannot be crowned.
Kim Ja Jeom will try to use her against me.
If the child I'm carrying is a son
then this child will have to follow in the King's footsteps.
Because this child is undoubtedly the King and my child.
In order to do so Jing must be crowned.
That way this child will rise to the throne one day.
Mother!
Why did you wake up?
I had a scary dream.
Is that so?
Come here.
So what kind of scary dream did you have?
Did you see the bachelorette ghost or the bachelor ghost?
Or did you see a monster?
From now on, sleep with me.
Then all the ghosts and monsters will stay away from you.
It's okay if you cry out loud mother.
Sung Lin and Suk Kyung are heavy sleepers so once they are asleep
they will not wake up even if the skies come crumbling down.
- Is that so? - Yes mother.
I'm scared.
Living apart from everyone outside the palace
I'm constantly worried about what's going on here.
I worry that something might happen to my son.
Do not worry mother.
I am taking good care of my brothers.
Yes...
I never let Sung Lin and Suk Kyung out of my sight.
And when I get scared I go visit father and ask him to help me.
Do you visit your father alone?
Yes mother.
Whenever I visit him, all my fears disappear.
I thought I was protecting you
but you've been protecting me all along.
Cry out loud mother.
That way father can hear you.
What brings you here Prince Suk Chul?
You are out of line! He is the Prince!
His Highness is currently eating...
You won't have anymore to eat?
I don't have much of an appetite. I can't eat anymore.
What are you doing? Give your father some stew.
Your father said he doesn't have much of an appetite!
Yes mother.
Father
Okay, let's try one bite.
Do you like it father?
Yes! It's delicious!
Here here. Come sit here.
What are you doing Prince Jing?
Your Highness, you cannot skip meals just
because you do not have much of an appetite.
They say food is the best medicine.
Give this to him.
Yes mother.
Here here.
Jing has matured quite a bit!
Come sit here.
- Court Lady Kim - Yes, Lady Gui In.
- Take the table away. - Yes Lady Gui In.
Please wait a bit until we've let His Highness know--
I am here as a grandson to say hello to my grandfather.
Must my arrival be announced every single time?
Grandfather! I, your grandson Suk Chul, am here to say hello.
Welcome.
You're here to say hello to His Highness?
Now now, why don't you also go back and have a seat?
Come here.
You must greet him before bowing.
I spent the night with my mother for the first time in a long time.
What is he talking about?
Are you saying the Princess slept inside the palace?
I sent people to bring the Princess to the palace.
The young prince was just excited to see his mother...
- My goodness... - Your Highness
It is not right to cut ties between a mother and child like that.
Have you never heard a young calf cry out sadly for its mother?
The bond between a mother and child is one that even the heavens cannot break.
Do you think I kicked your mother out of the palace because I don't like you?
Your Highness! What would the Prince know at such a young age?
How can I not understand what you are thinking?
Just what are you saying you know?
Tell me!
What are you saying you understand?
My goodness! Why are you yelling? You said your chest has been hurting.
Go and bring us some tea!
Yes Lady Gui In.
Wait just a bit Your Highness.
The tea will help the irritation go away.
Tell him you are sorry!
Why are you just sitting there staring?
So... what did your mother say to you?
This has nothing to do with my mother. These are purely my own thoughts.
What?
If Uncle Bong Rim is crowned then I can
leave the palace to go live with my mother.
Why you! You little!
I told you to calm down! Why must you keep yelling!
Your Highness...
Do not worry. His Highness wouldn't think to kill me as well.
It's hot. Drink carefully.
One more sip.
I feel much better now.
Okay, okay.
The apple does not fall far from the tree...
Those wretched fools...
What were you thinking going there without telling me?
What were you thinking talking back to your grandfather like that?
Is it wrong that I told him I want to live with you?
I told you that you must not get on the King's bad side.
It's okay if His Highness does not like me.
It doesn't matter what happens to me.
But you must not get on the King's bad side.
You will one day lead this nation.
Forget about me.
Consider me dead.
Mother!
I will never come back to the palace.
I'm sorry mother!
I will never be disrespectful to grandfather ever again!
I will only do as you tell me to.
So please do not say that you will never come back to the palace ever again.
Please look at me mother!
I'm sorry!
The truth is I'm scared to death.
Whenever I think of Suk Il and Suk Kyung
I can't sleep just at the thought of losing my brothers.
Announce my arrival.
Your Highness, Jo Gui In is here.
Prince Suk Chul must be acting childish.
Go wait outside.
You can tell him to stay.
I'm okay with that.
Now.
Oh my...
Did you miss your mother that much?
Since the Queen has not given birth to any children
there is no way for her to understand how a mother feels.
Which is why she is taking Prince Bong Rim's side.
She's most likely trying to take in Prince Bong Rim as her son now.
Are you worried about Prince Suk Chul?
I too am worried about my children.
Even the ever so fearless Prince Suk Chul
lives in fear of dying any day now.
So imagine how I feel about my children who were born to a concubine.
One wrong step
and they can fall thousands and thousands of feet off a cliff.
That is why I am standing by you over the Queen.
Since you are also a mother I thought you'd understand what I'm feeling
and spare my children's lives once Prince Suk Chul is crowned.
What do I have to do for you to spare my children's lives?
I am asking you what I can do for you to spare my children's lives.
- That-- - Just say the word.
How dare you send a man to China and act like this in front of me.
Are you not trying to buy yourself time so the Chinese Emperor will send his army
to take the King to China and crown Prince Suk Chul so you may act on his behalf?
You are quite ambitious!
Please save them.
You can kill me but please save my children.
The reason I called you to the palace yesterday
is because you'll never be able to see Prince Suk Chul again
so I thought I'd let you see each other one last time.
I said you can kill me!
Are you asking me to save your children and kill my own?
The thought of this child never being able to see light
and dying makes me shudder!
Help me!
Kill me and save my children!
Save them.
Grandmother!
Grandmother, please spare my mother's life!
Why are you just standing there watching?
Get him off me!
I'm sorry grandmother!
Please save my mother!
Let go of me!
I am pleading with my grandmother right now!
Let go! Let go I say!
Please save my mother, grandmother!
Grandmother!
Let go! Let go!
I said let go of me!
Grandmother, please save my mother...
Please save my mother!
Uncle is here.
I told you no to make it a big deal.
What happened at the palace for you to be like this?
Your Highness!
I can't figure out what I should do.
Whether I should stand up to her
or get on my knees and plead...
Tell me... what happened at the palace.
I... begged.
I kneeled at the feet of Jo Gui In...
Your Highness!
Yes... I begged and begged again.
For her to save Suk Chul and kill me instead.
Help us father!
Do not even think of leaving here alive.
Why were you trying to kill the King?
If you tell me the truth, you might find a way to live.
I was not trying to kill the King.
Then?
I went there to find Jo Gui In.
You were trying to kill Jo Gui In?
What do you have against Jo Gui In?
Are you the boy that Jo Gui In had relations with before coming to the palace?
Kill me.
If I let you live will you come back for Jo Gui In?
Kill me.
You are demanding that I kill you because you know I will not kill you.
You did not come to kill Jo Gui In...
You came because you wanted to see your daughter.
Yes, you probably do not want to kill your daughter as well.
Why are you letting me live?
Once you are fully healed
I will tell you then.
You must not let anyone in without my permission.
Yes, Advisor Kim.
What do you plan on doing?
I will go to the palace with a doctor.
What power does this old man have?
If you've enjoyed your power up to now, you must pay the price for it.
I also have the princess's promise.
That we will hold hands and get rid of Jo Gui In!
If you have sided with the Princess...
I don't know how to thank you for risking
your life to save Prince Suk Chul.
I will never forget what you've done for me.
Your Highness...
You should have come to me sooner.
Thanks to you it seems that things will go more smoothly.
- Is he asleep? - Yes Lady Gui In.
That medicine you gave me.
We're almost out. Get us some more.
Lady Gui In, if you use too much of that--
We're trying to put the King at ease. Why do you have so much to say about it?
He looks so happy.
Is that gisaeng still alive?
- I don't-- - Find her.
It's been so long since I last saw her--
Find her before Kim Ja Jeom does.
Lady Gui In, Court Lady Park is here from the Queen's quarters.
What for?
The Queen would like to see you.
- The Queen is asking to see me? - Yes, Lady Gui In.
And the sun will rise from the west tomorrow.
The Queen wants to see me...
Did she say she'll come?
That is what I heard.
Welcome, Lady Gui In. Her Highness the Queen has been waiting for you.
Goodness...my stomach is growing and she's making me move around...
- Hurry and take him back to his quarters. - Yes!
- Search the room thoroughly. - Yes, sir!
Welcome.
It's been a while.
Have a seat.
And who are these lovely young ladies?
They don't appear to be court ladies.
Do you like them?
His Highness seems lonely as of late
so I am considering bringing in new and young concubines.
Is that so?
When is your delivery date?
I still have some time left.
No wonder the King has been so lonely.
So you want to bring in new concubines?
What do you think, Jo Gui In?
His Highness is over 50 years old.
He wouldn't want to go near a court lady.
It would be demoralizing.
Yes, go ahead.
It's not that I haven't thought about it.
I feel much better knowing that you're okay with it.
Get up and bow to her.
She is Prince Jing's mother, Jo Gui In.
No need.
His Highness will be happy.
So fresh and young...
Please teach them your ways.
No one compares to your skills and talent in taking care of His Highness.
I will take that as a compliment.
Then I will get going now.
You should have some tea before you leave. It's been a while.
I will get going now.
I feel so old sitting here with these young ladies.
I will make you ladies work hard.
Got it?
You have nothing to worry about.
All that matters is that the King likes you.
Nothing beats youth.
Do you think the King would be unkind just because of a wrinkly old concubine?
She should just keep her mouth shut and live in silence.
Just because she's the Queen...
If you do not tell me the medicine you prescribed to the King
even the death penalty will not be enough for you.
The only thing I did was perform acupuncture on him!
- Take them away. - Yes, sir!
Advisor Kim! I did not do anything wrong!
You should know better!
What did I do wrong?
What did I do wrong Advisor Kim!
What did I do so wrong for you to do this to me?
What did you just say?
What do you mean they took His Highness away?
That's not all!
The palace guards are searching your room!
Well they are just asking to be killed!
Lady Gui In! Please take the palanquin!
Lady Gui In!
Where are you going Lady Gui In?
I have to bring His Highness back.
Eunuch Koo was taken away.
It's dangerous for you to go alone.
Now that I think about it, the Queen distracted me to take the King away.
Something does not seem right.
It seemed as though Advisor Kim was in on it as well.
Where is Court Lady Kim?
I have not seen her all day today.
It was so urgent that despite you being asleep
we brought you back to the main palace.
What is so urgent?
What are you talking about?
We are still receiving endless request for
you to look into Prince So Hyun's death.
We thought it'd be best to explain the truth before it's too late
so we brought you back to the main palace Your Highness.
I was not feeling well so I was getting some rest at Jo Gui In's quarters.
Whether matters are urgent or not
you should have come to me there to discuss matters.
It is something that cannot be discussed with Jo Gui In present
so we did it this way.
What is there that Jo Gui In cannot know about?
Come on in!
- Come closer and speak. - Yes, Councilor.
You'll need to tell him the exact truth without adding or taking away from it.
Yes, Councilor.
Excuse me Your Highness
but the cloth wrapped here is from the clothes
Prince So Hyun was wearing when he died.
What? His clothes?
Yes Your Highness.
When I went to inspect his corpse
there was so much blood coming from his body his clothes were soaked.
The color of the blood was suspicious
so I cut a small part of his clothing and held onto it.
Don't trail off and tell him the important parts.
Yes, Councilor.
So that is a piece of the clothing Prince So Hyun was wearing?
Yes Your Highness.
The medical team came together and inspected the blood.
From the blood they found traces of poison.
Are you talking about that again?
That the Prince was poisoned to death!
This time we have undeniable evidence.
Would you like to look at it more closely?
Get it away from me!
Why you...
Get it away immediately!
When I heard the rumor that Prince So Hyun was poisoned to death
I did not believe it.
But are you telling me he didn't die of
malaria but was actually poisoned to death?
Yes Your Highness!
Then who are you saying did such a thing?
I never prescribed any sort of medication for the Prince.
The only other thing is that Lee Hyung Ik administered acupuncture
and there is no doubt that the needle he used was poisoned.
Why did you not say any of this before?
If you arrest Lee Hyung Ik and question him
all truths will be revealed Your Highness!
I got it.
Your Highness
I got it so everyone leave now!
You must reveal everything clearly right now
so that you are no longer suspected of any wrongdoings.
I know nothing about it so what is there to be suspicious about?
Your Highness!
Are you saying you suspect me?
There is no way.
The reason we brought you here such a hurry is because--
Look! Look! Look around you!
All the eyes in this room are looking at me are saying yes!
Your Highness!
Get out!
Leave this instant I say!
Leave immediately!
Leave right now!
Leave this instant I say!
I can't do this. Uhn Yuhn--
Yes Lady Gui In?
Go outside the palace right now and bring me my mother and Governor Jo.
I cannot leave at this time.
What do you mean?
Are you saying the palace guards are blocking your way?
There are guards standing watch at every corner of the palace.
Who dare stands in my way!
Lady Gui In!
So he said it's okay to kill me?
It's the only reason why they'd pull their swords on me like that!
Where are Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung?
I asked you where are Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung!
They are at the Queen's quarters.
What for?
Court Lady Park came and took them while you were meeting with the Queen.
The Queen is basically trying to use Jing and Hyo Myung against me!
Lady Gui In!
Stop her!
Get out of my way!
If you stand in my way, I will kill myself right here!
Get out of my way!
How dare you stand in my way!

It was Jo Gui In's doing Your Highness!
What do you mean Jo Gui In poisoned Prince So Hyun to death?
Lee Hyung Ik and Jo Gui In must be questioned as to leave no rocks unturned.
I am innocent!
Write exactly what you've done.
What do we do? They'll find out about everything!
You reap what you sow.
Save me.
How much are you going to unveil?
I do not want to go so far as His Highness.
Do you think Jo Gui In will die alone?
Tighten security at the palace.
I am telling you to never let Jo Gui In take away His Highness ever again.
Do not even think about taking a step outside your quarters.
Who dares to stand in my way?
I am carrying the King's child in my womb!
