Royal Ceramist Lee Yook Do and Yoo Jung will
be competing to make
medicine bowls for Prince Shin Seong.
If Yoo Jung wins,
she will be appointed as a ceramist.
If Royal Ceramist Lee Yook Do wins,
I will promote him to
Bunwon Chief.
Do your best with sincerity.
Yes, Bunwon Chief.
I will prove to you what consequence results from arrogance
without skill.
With this competition, much will be revealed, Royal Ceramist.
Is that so? I think so, too.
How arrogant you have been.
How insolent you have been.
What is different between you and me. (How big a gap in skill there is between us.)
It will be revealed to all.
Quite possibly, with this competition,
you will also find out the truth.
The truth?
Did you just say "the truth"?
I will win and you will lose.
That's the truth.
Please do defeat me, Royal Ceramist.
In this competition,
I will put my best effort, to the point of death, to accomplish the things I want to accomplish.
So you should, too,
in your own way, be sure to defeat me.
I came to visit you today to discuss some things with Your Highness.
Something to discuss with me? What is it?
The medicine bowls you ordered Yoo Jung to make
will also be made by Royal Ceramist Lee.
Are you making them compete?
Yes.
It was my wish and His Majesty's command.
How can you make this into a competition on your own will?
My position is at stake in this competition.
If Ceramist Lee wins,
please support him in becoming the Bunwon Chief.
If you will help us in making this happen,
I will offer up twice the amount
of money I had previously offered you.
Father, without even giving me a hint,
how did you make such a decision?
I was so surprised I thought my heart would burst.
After seeing that His Majesty recognized your skill, I made up my mind.
Thank you, Father!
Yook Do,
this was your long-awaited dream.
And this is the way to preserve our family line of ceramists.
I've done all I can.
The rest is up to you.
I will win, no matter what.
It's not like I won't be able to defeat Yoo Jung, a mere female worker.
Yoo Jung isn't the problem.
Eh?
Be wary of Moon Sa Seung, who stands by Yoo Jung.
Don't underestimate him.
Due to his hand tremor, he couldn't reveal his potential.
Even still, that old man Moon Sa Seung, is not someone you should regard too lightly.
I'm also aware of his skills.
Wasn't he the one who knew the secret behind the blue celadon tea cup that even you didn't know about?
I don't want to acknowledge it.
But it's a fact that there is no one in Joseon
who can surpass his knowledge and insight on water, clay and fire.
Also, with this competition,
it is obvious that Moon Sa Seung will give everything
he has for Yoo Jung.
This fight will not be easy.
You must win.
Do whatever it takes and
be sure to win.
Yes, Father.
The position of Bunwon Chief is at stake.
I am definitely determined to win.
I will win and fulfill your expectations.
Did you pray?
Yes.
What did you pray for?
Did you ask to become a ceramist?
No.
I asked for help
so that I can reveal the truth.
Look at the moon again.
When your heart
is completely filled
with the prayer asking for the health
of the one who will be using the bowl,
only then,
can you come to the workroom.
I'm ready!
What shape will you make?
Before, when I studied about the royal ceramic ware,
you said His Majesty the King likes the bowl
with a wide mouth and a high base pedestal.
How do you feel about that shape, Teacher?
You brat, you think a medicine bowl is same as a soup bowl?
The medicine is already something people don't like to take.
So, if the mouth is wide, the medicine is exposed too much.
You will be sick of the medicine, even before drinking it.
Don't think about the shape first.
Just imagine the empty space of the bowl.
What you make is just a bowl.
But the people who will use that bowl
are actually using the empty space in the bowl.
Yes, Teacher.
Chief Lee told me that you are competing with Lee Yook Do.
What happened?
Did Chief Lee threaten you to do it?
No, he didn't.
I sought after it.
What, you sought after it?
You might lose the opportunity to become a ceramist, don't you think?
If you want, I can stop this competition.
No, Your Highness.
If I become a ceramist with your influence,
how could I be recognized at Bunwon?
Just giving me this opportunity was enough.
You want to leave an easy path for a hard one?
Of course my wish to become a ceramist is very earnest,
but I want my process in becoming a ceramist to be honorable too.
If I become a ceramist,
won't I become the first woman ceramist in Bunwon; in Joseon?
So I think that position must be honorable as well.
I thought you would do anything to become a ceramist,
but I guess Prince Gwang Hae judged you correctly.
Pardon...?
No matter what Chief Lee is intending,
you will be judged only by your skill with the ceramic bowl this time.
So, put all your effort to prepare it.
Yes, Your Highness.
I'm truly grateful.
So, with Shin Seong's medicine bowl, they are competing with each other
and targeting the Chief position for one person, and the ceramist position for the other?
Will you permit this competition, Your Majesty?
It will be such a fun competition. Of course, I will permit it.
Both of them will work so hard.
We won't reveal who made each bowl. So that only Shin Seong's choice
will decide the winner.
Is that so?
That's a bit... disappointing.
I, the King, will attend it as well.
But if it's decided by only Shin Seong's choice...
I will follow your decision, Honored Father.
No, no...
Rather than me, the person who will use it should like it, of course...
To become the real winner,
I think they should satisfy both Your Majesty and Prince Shin Seong.
That's right!
We should wish that Shin Seong and I reach the same decision.
Alright, strongly! Strongly!
This is the white clay Jung will use! Let's do it strongly!
That's right! We should help her!
Hey, hey, hey! That's not it!
Jung will get the white clay from somewhere else.
She said that there is some other white clay to be used for a medicine bowl.
Anyhow, that's how I heard it.
There's such a thing?
Save your strength. Let's use it when we do it for Jung Yi.
Royal Ceramist! Royal Ceramist!
Tell me accurately what you were talking about.
Jung is getting some other white clay?
Yes, Royal Ceramist.
However, we don't really know the exact details.
I have a request, Royal Ceramist.
I would like to obtain the white clay to be used for my porcelains, separately from a trading company.
Please give me permission to submit a separate order.
When Bunwon is full of the best white clay,
you want to get some separate from it?
"One needs to use different clay for different purposes of each porcelain."
That's how I learned it from my teacher.
I would like to do it in the manner of how I learned.
Please approve it.
You really are making a big fuss.
'An incapable carpenter blames the tools.'
Are you going to give me permission?
I don't want to hear you say you lost because of that,
so do as you wish.
Thank you, Royal Ceramist.
You're competing against Royal Ceramist?
Yes.
If I win, I'll become a ceramist.
If he wins, he will become the chief.
Is that for real?
I would like you to help me.
Why should I?
This is a formal request from Bunwon.
White clay?
Yes, it's the one I'll be using.
Since you're getting it, it would be great if you could get me the best quality one.
Of course.
I'll be getting it into Bunwon, in the name of our company.
Don't worry about it when it comes to the quality.
It used to be Madame Haengsoo's seat.
It's my seat now.
If you want to mourn her, why not go to her grave?
Don't ever recall her in my company.
You have anything else to say?
Sir.
Was an unwelcome person just here?
No.
It was just a bothersome person that came to see me.
Did you have a good trip to your country?
Among the porcelains we traded recently,
there were some things which Haengsoo didn't want to sell, but you did.
Do you remember them?
I received those as gifts.
They're not for sale.
Do you like these?
Jung Yi made those and gave them to me as a gift.
Yes, Sir. I remember them.
Do you happen to know the potter who made them?
Where do I need to go to meet that potter?
Why are you asking that, Sir?
There's a reason I must meet the person.
Do you know?
Since it's something you really want, I'll look into it.
I'll trust you on this and leave.
You're not here to see the porcelains today?
I'll do the trade after I meet that potter.
Yes.
Just like the porcelains that the Chief made,
I will also make the best porcelain that will capture the royal heart.
Please do as I ask, all of you.
Our Lee family has been the Bunwon Chiefs for generations.
The outcome of this competition has already been decided.
All I want is for you to support well the next chief.
Yes, Chief.
What, Ilnam and the other guys didn't come either?
They suddenly have a lot of things to do.
They said they would come and help me at night.
You're not going to get other people's help anyway.
So, with the determination that you'll do everything on your own,
concentrate.
Yes, Teacher.
Come to the room.
After gathering all the ceramists,
do you know what Chief said?
If you, Jung Yi, win, things that can't happen
and shouldn't happen will happen. He made serious threats like that.
It doesn't matter. It's not even something I didn't expect.
Is that why you're upset?
I felt like I was witnessing the previous Chief competition once again.
It was like that, then as well.
All ceramists went to Chief Lee's studio.
And Yeon Ok Unni and Royal Ceramist Yoo were pretty much on their own.
They even stole away white clay.
White clay?
Yes.
Originally,
Royal Ceramist Yoo used Bongsan white clay,
but because Chief Lee's side stole all of that away,
he had to resort to using Seoncheon white clay.
Is that how it was?
It's the same this time.
No one will be there to help you.
How about you?
I... won't be able to... openly.
But, I'll help you at least at night,
so don't you worry about the glaze.
Thank you, Madame Yeonjeong.
You're going to use Bongsan white clay?
Are you trying to copy me or something?
No. I've already ordered the white clay I'll be using.
Then why are you here?
Are you, by any chance, spying on me or something?
Royal Ceramist.
Please bring this to my studio.
Yes.
I came here to get the white clay I can practice with.
It doesn't have to have the best quality.
Then use this.
Thank you.
Royal Ceramist.
What brought you here?
I hear you'll soon become the Chief.
It's a matter for after the competition.
You'll win anyway.
That's right. That's how it should be.
It's something you've wanted for so long. Please beat Jung Yi.
I'll also help you as best as I can.
It's making porcelains.
What help would I need from you?
What if I don't help Jung Yi?
Jung Yi asked me to get white clay.
I'm aware of that.
That white clay...
What if I don't get it for her?
In the matter of you becoming the Chief,
what could be there that I can't do?
Hold it up.
It's your blessing!
Everyone be filled and overflow with blessings!
You, too. Receive a blessing!
Yes.
I feel like I'm looking at Royal Ceramist Yoo.
The day is finally here.
I will make sure you won't treat me lightly anymore.
Yes.
Seeing you here... I'm reminded of the day
when I competed against Yoo Eul Dam in the past.
You decided that the identity of the creator of each porcelain would not be revealed.
But what good will that do?
Wouldn't they know just by looking at them?
Follow me.
Honored Mother. I just need to pick the one I like?
Correct, please do so.
What if it's different from His Majesty's royal heart?
We never know what will happen,
so I'm also curious about the outcome, too.
Not being able to choose even a medicine bowl, as I please.
Is that truly what being a prince is all about?
Prince Shin Seong!
Just consider it as a game and choose one with a light heart.
Shin Seong. What's your choice?
Why would I step up when Your Majesty's here?
Uh-hoh. Isn't it your bowl?
You choose the one you want.
The thickness is proper and the feel of it is also proper.
So I think this would be good for my medicine bowl.
Is that so?
As for completeness of the bowl... Doesn't this one look better even at a quick glance?
The color and the form...
I don't really like your choice.
I looked at it again and think I'm more attracted to this one.
No...
No, no...
That bowl, too... With the color of the medicine,
it looks like it'll go well with it.
Your Majesty.
It's been quite a while since
I've seen you being unable to make a quick decision.
Isn't that so?
How long has it been since I found something so enjoyable.
Your Majesty.
Since the medicine bowl is a porcelain that has to hold medicine,
perhaps, we should compare them with the medicine in them?
Yes, let's do that.
Tell the clinic to bring Shin Seong's medicine.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Both bowls' colors
go well with the medicine.
The temperature I feel in my hands when I hold them... are also both proper.
Prince Shin Seong. It's time for you to take the medicine anyway.
Why don't you decide after
trying to drink from both bowls?
That would be good. Great idea.
Prince Shin Seong! What's wrong?!
Shin Seong!
Hurry and bring the royal doctor.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Prince Shin Seong! Shin Seong!
Prince Shin Seong! Prince Shin Seong!
Shin Seong!
Please help me...
I ca...n't
brea...the...
Shin Seong!
What on earth did you put in the medicine?
Why did Shin Seong who was normal, suddenly collapse?!
It's the same medicine Prince Shin Seong usually takes.
Then...
Does that mean this bowl is the problem?
Who made this bowl?
I made it.
Is Chief Royal Guard out there?!
Drag him out immediately!
Yes!
Prince Shin Seong!
Prince Shin Seong.
Please open your eyes, Prince Shin Seong.
Your Highness. His pulse is returning to normal.
He'll wake up soon if he rests just a little more.
If you can't revive him,
you won't be able to avoid death, either!
He will wake up, Your Highness.
What's the cause? Did you change the medicine?
No, Your Highness.
There's no problem with the medicine.
Seeing his symptoms, I believe the problem was an allergy.
Yes, it really was the bowl.
Your Highness. Something must have gone wrong.
It cannot be Royal Ceramist's fault.
Chief Lee. There was no problem with the medicine.
He was normal when he drank the medicine from Yoo Jung's bowl.
But he collapsed after drinking from Royal Ceramist Lee's bowl.
What on earth did he put in the glaze?!!
No, it's not true.
There's no way Royal Ceramist Lee would've done that, Your Highness!
I will never forgive Royal Ceramist Lee.
If, by chance, anything goes wrong with Prince Shin Seong,
I will definitely have your heads!
If anything happens to Prince Shin Seong, I won't be able to live, Your Majesty.
It's the same for me.
You know very well how much I treasure Shin Seong.
Please place them to be executed by beheading.
Please do not forgive those who made Prince Shin Seong like that.
I will.
I will do so, even if you had not requested it.
So, trust me and go back and rest.
I will interrogate them myself.
What would I do if you collapse as well?
In Bin.
In Bin. Here.
Go back and rest now.
Your Majesty.
Search!
Yes!
There's clay here.
The glaze is here.
Look here!
What mess is this?
Prince Shin Seong collapsed?
Wait! Let me calm down first.
Anyhow... you have such a small gut.
You... Aren't you reminded of back then?
Back then?
Yes.
At that time, Royal Ceramist Yoo was also arrested by the prosecution office for attempting to kill Lady Gong Bin.
That's right. Then this time, Royal Ceramist Lee is... a traitor?
Aigoo. Thank God I didn't become a royal ceramist.
It's best not to step up.
These are the things from your studio.
Are they the correct glaze and white clay you used?
They're the right ones, Your Majesty.
The medicine is one that Shin Seong usually takes.
It's not possible that there was problem with the medicine. The problem is definitely with the bowl.
What on earth did you make it with?
Your Majesty. All I wanted was to make a good porcelain.
Please trust me!
Is a porcelain that causes a person to collapse a good porcelain!
I asked, what on earth did you put in the bowl.
Confess your crime!
I considered the clay as the clay of life, that holds all lives.
So all I did was use clay from the seashore. I never put anything that would be poisonous.
Seashore?
That's the one!
That must be the cause that caused Shin Seong to collapse.
You used clay from the seashore on Shin Seong who has seafood allergy!
I accuse you of treason!
Your Majesty.
I didn't know!
I'm not treasonous, Your Majesty!
Shin Seong collapsed because of your bowl and you're still claiming to be innocent?!!
Look here. Behead him immediately!
Yes!
Your Majesty. How would a mere ceramist know
Prince Shin Seong's medical condition?
All he had was a loyal heart that wanted to make a good porcelain.
There's no way he had a treasonous mind.
Please spare him.
Please, I beg you, Your Majesty!
Do you think this matter will end with Royal Ceramist Lee?
I will sternly charge you for your crime as well!
Your Majesty.
How you found out about Shin Seong's disease,
and what your motivation to kill Shin Seong was... I will get to the bottom of this!
Lock him in jail until they confess and continue to interrogate him!
Yes!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty.
Please spare him, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
- Yook Do!
Yook Do! Yook Do!
Father!
Yook Do!
Father!
Yook Do!
Yook Do...
Father... went through that, too?
He went through all that?
Your Highness.
Please consider my loyal heart during all this time,
and please just once, just once grant your mercy.
I will
serve you till I die. Your Highness.
What are you all doing? Drag this man out immediately.
Yes!
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Your Highness!
Minister. Minister.
Why would Royal Ceramist Lee have a treasonous mind?
You know that, right? Please.
Please move Lady In Bin's heart.
It's unfortunate, but it's the matter of Prince Shin Seong.
She won't budge, even if I ask her.
How could you do this to me, Minister?
What did you do to Lady In Bin recently?
You threatened her with the ledger book.
She's actually suspecting you for being treasonous.
No way.
How would I dare to harm her?
Chief Lee. It would be better if you consider this heaven's punishment and accept it.
Pardon?
Did you forget? What you did to Yoo Eul Dam?
To see you go through what you did in the exactly same way,
Yoo Eul Dam must be looking down on you from heaven.
How would that have been solely my crime?
It was you who told me about that.
Uh-hoh!
Outrageous!
All I did was tell you the condition Lady Gong Bin was suffering from.
The one that made Yoo Eul Dam be accused of treason was you.
In addition, what did you do to Yoo Eul Dam who was kicked out like that?
Today, I realized how much we must fear heaven once again.
How shameless do you have to be to ask me, who knows your every crime,
out of all people, to save your lives?
Go back!
Yoo Eul Dam. Is this your doing?
Torturing me even after death...
Is that you?
What kind of horrible things my father would've gone through...
I saw with my own eyes, Orabeoni.
Don't say anything, Jung.
Royal Ceramist Lee at least has a father to plead for his life.
My father didn't have anyone.
It was just my mom...
with me in her belly,
dragging her heavy body
to Lee Kang Cheon to plead for Father's life.
And that night,
she ended up dying by his hand.
At that time,
what would my father have felt?
How much he would've felt like the whole world was crashing down on him?
Your Highness. Please.
Please, just once, help me.
My Royal Ceramist Lee... no...
my son Yook Do... Please save him, Your Highness.
What and how will I be able to help?
Please prove Royal Ceramist Lee's innocence.
He used the seashore clay for a bowl for Prince Shin Seong who has an allergy.
He confessed it with his own mouth.
He did that without knowing his condition.
You know Royal Ceramist Lee's character.
He's a simple and honest kid who only cares about porcelains.
The prosecution office is investigating, so it'll soon be revealed.
Before that, my Yook Do will be dead, Your Highness.
Your Highness!
Please save Royal Ceramist Lee.
Your Highness.
How it happened... will you hear directly from Royal Ceramist Lee?
I'll let you see Royal Ceramist Lee in jail.
That's all I can do to help.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Thank you.
Father.
Yook Do.
Father.
What happened?
Father...
What happened to you?
I'm sorry for showing myself like this to you.
No.
Please do not say that to your father.
Even having you get involved in this,
I would rather die here and now.
Whatever it takes,
I'll try to do something for you.
Until then...
Just until then...
Do your best to hold on.
I was foolish, Father.
I shouldn't have paid attention to Jung.
I am feeling so bad about myself.
I can't forgive myself.
What are you talking about?
Tell me the details.
I heard Moon Sa Seung saying...
Jung.
Why are you trying to use clay from a mudflat?
You said it's not easy to get.
It's all thanks to my Teacher, here.
Sir, could you tell us as well, please?
Curious?
Yes.
Clay from the mudflat
has pretty-looking basic ingredients
and has very good purification ability.
Also,
since it has so many traces of life forms in it,
the clay is full of life energy.
Handling may be more difficult compared to mountain white soil.
But if you do a good job,
you can make the best white clay in the world.
We really need to do good job, then.
We're the ones who are doing the handling.
Indeed. You should know well.
Have you used mudflat clay
to make bowls and vases?
Certainly.
Using those bowls,
I've saved several dying patients before.
You can just believe half of what he says.
What?
Using white clay from mudflats
was Jung's idea?
Yes.
Then...
How did you come to use it?
'Using every means possible,' you told me to be sure to win.
'In the field of bowls and vases,
nobody can beat the Teacher,' you told me, Sir.
So...
Did you steal it?
So it wasn't Yoo Eul Dam, but...
Maybe, it's all Jung's plan?
What?
Yook Do...
You stay alive and healthy.
Father.
Is this all your doing?
What the hell are you doing?
You bitch, get out of here!
I know you were trying to use white clay from the mudflats.
Yeah.
That's right.
I made a special request for it.
But, they told me
they didn't get it.
The traitor was you.
My man merely got the penalty you should have gotten.
The clay for which I made a special request
was taken by Royal Ceramist Lee?
If he hadn't taken my clay,
by now,
I would have been imprisoned instead.
You damn bitch.
His greed got him into trouble.
Shut your mouth instantly!
If he hadn't taken the soil,
he wouldn't have ended up being called a traitor.
It's truly unfortunate.
However ...
he even stole the glaze.
What do you mean glaze?
Since we didn't get the soil,
this glaze is useless.
And, we spent several days making this glaze.
It's truly a terrible waste.
Right.
As you said,
we wanted to see a very shining polished appearance.
It's unfortunate.
Why don't we try it on the other white clay?
Well, let's see.
Glaze ...
has to match with the white clay.
This is not for displaying.
It's just for our own experimentation.
Can we try?
Okay.
Let's leave it here
for later experimenting.
Yes, Ma'am.
That glaze disappeared,
while I was taking a quick break.
It was just gone.
Then, my Yook Do took it...
Is that what you're saying?
It's white clay from the tidal mudflats.
If the glaze made with clam shells and seashells had not been used,
he wouldn't have become a traitor.
Truly ...
Unfortunate.
By the way,
for God's sake,
were you already aware of the disease of Prince Shin?
That's not possible, isn't it?
Even you, who ordered to make glaze with peach flowers,
did you already know Lady Gong Bin was allergic to peach flowers?
What!
What the hell are you babbling about?!
It's my father's work.
Did you really believe that I didn't know anything?!
You're the one who dragged Yook Do into this competition.
Is this what you've planned, from beginning?
Making him into a traitor.
Was it your plan?
What I can tell you is this.
If he hadn't taken my clay and glaze,
none of this would have happened.
That's all.
How unfair ...
How dismayed,
I've felt for my father.
Can you sense it, now?
You damn bitch!
You stop it now.
If you make one more move ...
Yoo Jung,
I will never forgive you.
Are you ok?
He shows no remorse at all!
Not one bit.
He makes me unable to stop.
I didn't know Chief would take away the glaze.
Did you know?
It's frightening to see people's greed for winning.
What brings you here at this late hour?
How was the competition, Sir?
I was about to go to Bunwon anyway.
The one that gave out the white clay.
was it you?
What?
The white clay Yoo Jung asked you for...!
Are you the one who gave it to Yook Do?!!
Yes.
Was there a problem with the white clay?
Because of that...
Yook Do is being considered for high treason!
What are you saying?
Royal Ceramist being considered for high treason? Why?
Because of the vessel made out of that white clay...
Prince Shin Seong collapsed!
Did Jung Yi ask you to do it?
Give the clay to the Royal Ceramist Lee...
Did Jung Yi ask you to do that?
What do you mean she asked me to..
Am I one who will do as I'm told?
All this time, I've served you with all I had.
Yet, you suspect me now?
No...
Jung Yi did ask you.
You were her long last friend. That's what happened.
You understand?
What?
If I say she asked me to do so...
Can he be released?
Can you do that?
I don't think that's possible.
Try either Lady In Bin or the ministers.
You dare
to defy me?
I also feel bad thinking about what happened to the Royal Ceramist, but
on that day, there were too many people watching us.
What do you mean you couldn't get it? You said you could get it!
I tried my best, but...
I couldn't get it.
I'm sorry.
What is it?!
I apologize, as Haeng Soo (the leader) of the company.
The white clay you ordered,
I couldn't get it.
Royal Chief!
It is her doing!
It is all her plan!
Why do you think that way?
Is there a reason for you to think that way?
She is one scary girl.
Do you know how she thinks of you?
She thinks that Ma Poong...
killed teacher Yoo Eul Dam!
And she thinks
you are the one who ordered Ma Poong.
What are you talking about?
I'm the one who ordered Ma Poong? Ma Poong killed Yoo Eul Dam?
With what proof does she think that way?!!!
I don't know the reason, but I'm sure she believes it that way!
Suspecting my innocence and
exacting revenge on me,
she dare
to plot all this?
So, only Royal Ceramist Lee, who had nothing to do with it (Yoo Eul Dam's death), fell into this trap.
With these, please find some influential people you can use.
You can pay me back with Bunwon's porcelain pieces worthy of these gold pieces.
Hurry!
In this competition, I...
am going to give my best to accomplish what I wished for.
So, Royal Ceramist Lee...
Please defeat me with the best you've got.
Yoo Jung...
Is this what you wanted to accomplish?
Telling me to "win over" you had...
this kind of meaning?
What a relief! You're fully recovered now.
I have nothing more to wish now.
I like this medicine bowl.
The medicine in this bowl doesn't look too much and the bowl is not slippery either.
Somehow, I feel as if its taste is less bitter.
I shouldn't have allowed them to compete in the first place.
This is all my fault.
Those people who made you collapse, Prince Shin Seong,
I will never forgive them.
But I'm now fully recovered, Honored Mother.
I don't want
some people to be guilty of high treason just because of me.
Don't do that.
Hasty forgiveness will only allow the Royal Family's authority to be ignored.
Your mother will take care of everything, so you better go off to rest.
I will visit Honored Father and greet him.
I'm sure he was shocked because of me.
Yes, do that.
I should go with you.
Your Highness, Prince Im Hae is here.
Are you okay?
Yes, Hyungnim.
Wait outside for a little.
Prince Im Hae...
I have something to tell you.
It's an important matter.
I just heard the news, so I ran to come here.
It's a relief that Prince Shin Seong is alright, but
you should find the one who's behind this.
Someone is behind this?
Surely, you don't think that
it's just the doing of a mere ceramist, do you?
I know
the person behind this.
Who is it?
It's someone from Bunwon.
Someone who can order Royal Ceramist Lee,
and one who has watched Prince Shin Seong for a long time.
It's Gwang Hae.
Prince Im Hae...
Do you know
what you are saying?
He must be trying to pay back for the last incident which almost made him a traitor.
Gwang Hae doesn't express it, but
who would he think tried to frame him for high treason?
It's obviously Your Highness and me!
Since I'm a brother from the same mother, he couldn't do anything.
Instead, he targeted you, Your Highness.
The most precious person to Your Highness is, obviously...
the easy target, Prince Shin Seong, isn't it?
Shin Seong is waiting outside.
I should go now.
How should I end this matter?
As the second official in charge of Bunwon, tell me what you think.
Making Prince Shin Seong collapse, how can that sin be taken lightly.
However, this could be a false charge,
so I'll look into it.
What do you mean "false charge"?
You can say that after having seen Prince Shin Seong collapse?
Your face... doesn't look so good.
I'm sorry to make you worry, Father.
Worrying if something horrible had happened to you,
I felt as if my heart could almost stop.
Here, sit here, sit.
It's a relief that you are alright.
I worried about you.
I'm sorry, Hyung-nim.
Your Majesty!
Didn't you see Prince Shin Seong asking to save his life because he couldn't breathe?
Those people who tried to harm Prince Shin Seong must not be forgiven!
Don't worry.
I already told you that he would be executed.
Do you think that just a mere ceramist committed such a crime on his own?
There must be an instigator behind this. You have to find the person behind this
and protect our poor Prince Shin Seong!
Instigator?
Hon, you'd better leave now.
Honored Father,
as the second official in charge of Bunwon, I have a duty to reveal the entire truth of this incident.
If there is any instigator, I will reveal that as well.
About that, I will give you a separate order. So, you may leave now.
Your Majesty, why are you telling him to look into this case?
How could you let him handle this case when Prince Gwang Hae might be the one behind it?
That's impossible!
Gwang Hae didn't know about my allergy at all.
Prince Shin Seong...
Honored Mother,
didn't you tell me to hide it?
Since my condition (allergy) might be used as an excuse to stop me from being the Crown Prince,
you told me to hide it, didn't you?
Prince Shin Seong...
Your Majesty...
How dare you speak of such a topic in front of His Majesty...
Prince Shin Seong is still sick, so please don't mind his words...
Are you sure
that Gwang Hae didn't know about it?
Yes, Father.
About the instigator,
don't mention it any more.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Then,
please make sure that traitor is to be executed,
so that my angry and shocked mind can be comforted.
Your Excellency.
Please ...
save him!
My foolish son who knows nothing but ceramics is going to be executed.
Please reveal his innocence.
If you do that,
I will do anything you want, even if you want all my properties.
Please,
give me your support.
Do you think this incident is important enough
to be placed on the agenda of the Council meeting and be discussed by all high ministers?
Go visit Her Highness, Lady In Bin.
Prince Shin Seong, who is Lady In Bin's favorite son, collapsed.
Her anger has pushed this matter thus far.
That's why you should calm the anger of Her Highness.
Is there any other way?
The guest is leaving. Escort him out.
I guess your guests are not coming.
I'll wait.
Someone ...
will certainly come.
Didn't I tell you that I'll wait?
Go away.
Up to now,
I've submitted so much money to them...
All those people who received my money...
How is it...
no one is appearing?
How is it!!
How is it...
Father,
in thinking about it...
It was all her plan.
From the beginning, I'm sure that she planned everything to bring me down.
Save me.
Please save me, Father!
Yes.
Just because of her,
I can't die here!
Yes.
It's clear that it's her plan.
Do you think I have no power to reveal that?
Wait a little.
No matter what,
you should stay alive.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you, Father!
Thank you... I...
Yes - I...
I will trust you and endure it.
I will endure it.
Save me!
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to meet Chief Lee.
I'm going to meet and...
tell him to reveal everything to the world;
that my father wasn't a traitor.
And, that it was Chief Lee's dirty trick to framed my father.
Also,
to tell him to apologize to my father.
Will Chief Lee really do that?
I'm going to make him do that.
People don't change so easily, Jung.
If he still doesn't learn his lesson this time ...
If he doesn't know how to repent for his sin, even after losing his own son,
then, the next (target) will be Chief Lee, himself.
It's going to be his turn then.
I was about to go visit you, Chief Lee.
Yook Do...
Save him!
