[Episode 100]
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
I was always worried about not having enough children.
I cannot be happier at the news of the pregnancy.
The service of Doctor Yu has been invaluable.
He provided me with the tonic that helped me to conceive.
You have a heavier responsibility as her personal physician.
Take good care of her.
Yes, Sire.
I heard there's a Chinese method to ensure the birth of a boy.
Do you know about it?
There is a theory that says it's possible to change the sex of a fetus.
But there is no empirical proof.
Then you'll have to find a way to make it possible.
The queen hasn't been pregnant for 10 years. I don't think she will bear children.
What do you think?
I also think it is unlikely, sir.
Then who knows who'll succeed the throne?
The current princes are the sons of Lady Kong-bin, who is a mere concubine.
Lady In-bin's baby has a chance at the throne as much as Kong-bin's sons.
She must have a boy at all costs. Do you understand?
If she can give birth to a prince, your future will be set.
All the power and wealth can be yours.
You have been made her personal physician?
Yes, Mother. I am in charge of Lady In-bin's health.
She personally asked me to be her personal physician.
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
Thank you.
I knew this day would come.
Yes, Mother.
You are destined to succeed.
You are certain to make the chief royal physician in the future.
Mother, the time he spent abroad must have been worth it.
Let's not talk about that again.
When I think about the day he left, I feel like my heart is breaking again.
I'll never let you down again, Mother.
Thank you, my son.
A weak body comes from a weak mind.
You ought to stay happy in order to keep your good health.
I'm trying, but it's not easy.
I guess I'm narrow-minded.
I wish you could cure my ailing heart, too.
Is something bothering you?
I am worried about Lady Kong-bin.
Her emotional state worries me more than her body.
What do you mean by that?
She feels lonely because the king has been favoring Lady In-bin.
Although she enjoyed her time as the king's favorite concubine
and as the mother of two princes, it seems things have changed.
I guess I'm luckier than the lady.
I was worried you wouldn't come.
You look lovelier outside of the public hospital.
Why did you want to meet?
Well...
Hong-choon...
I lost my family 13 years ago to a plague.
I wanted to become a doctor. And I worked hard at a clinic.
Ended up becoming the storage keeper.
I went through suff...
Suffering.
Despite my suffering, I could not become a doctor.
Although I don't have a lot to offer you, I promise that I will make you happy.
Please marry me.
Sir...
Hong-choon.
We're both lonely souls. I'm sick of being lonely.
Let's depend on each other.
Doctor Heo told me, you need me to cure your illness.
Sir, I...
Please don't say anything. Not a word.
I know how you feel. Don't say anything.
No, answer me.
Will you marry me? Or I'll jump in!
Answer me! Answer!
Sir...
Answer me! Will you marry me?
Yes!
Hong-choon! Hong-choon!
Thank you! Thank you!
Hong-choon.
Yang-tae, take this.
Why are you alone? Where's my husband?
He is at the tavern.
What's he doing there?
I don't know. He has been going there often.
I should just...!
Guess today's my lucky day.
Sorry, fellows.
Hold it.
Huh?
Aw, man! When will my lucky day come?
Come on, deal the next round.
Yeah, this is just great.
We ran away from our hometown because of gambling habits.
And you are gambling again? Come out!
I just watched, honey.
Shut up and come out!
Let's talk! No biting, please!
Enough nonsense! Come out!
Out! We'll talk outside!
- Darn you guys! - What the hell!
- Stop! - Stop what?
Am I embarrassing you?
Nothing to see here.
Ow, my back.
Haman!
Yang-tae, go and get some poison.
But...
Let's die together. You, me and Eon-nyun!
I'm sorry, I won't ever, EVER gamble again.
Forgive me.
You expect me to believe you? Get up, you jerk!
If I gamble again, I'll be Yang-tae's younger brother.
Let's die together!
You can have my head if I gamble again!
Please forgive him! Everyone's staring!
Ow, my head! She has a rock for a head!
I'm gonna believe you one more time.
I better not catch you again.
I'm sorry.
Shut up and eat, you fool.
What are you looking at? Huh?
The show's over! Over!
Get lost.
Nothing to see here!
If I catch you again, it'll be the end of you and me!
Is she even human? Is she?
Il-seo, are you alright?
Let's eat.
You jerk, how can I eat?
Everyone here saw me being dragged around by my wife.
Even the toddlers saw! This is so embarrassing.
So why did you gamble?
Yang-tae, don't ever get married.
Marriage will be the death of you.
Girls are for dating, not for long-term living!
I'm so envious of Oh-keun. He has no wife to nag him.
He can gamble and visit courtesan houses!
Anyway, did you win?
No. Did I even have the chance?
How are you guys?
Oh, hi.
Why are you here?
I have something to talk about.
- Eh? - Say what?
Why are you so surprised? All I said was that I'm getting married.
Why is that so shocking?
Oh-keun, congratulations.
Thanks, Yang-tae.
I need you to help me with the wedding.
Oh-keun.
Are you crazy?
Why would you do this to yourself?
What? What are you talking about?
Stay single, you've got it good.
Once you have a wife and children, you can't do anything.
You work all day! Get knocked around at night!
Your life is ruined.
I'm saying this for you. Don't get married.
What are you talking about?
Jerk, I'm marrying the woman I love.
And what did you say? My life will get ruined?
Why are you trying to ruin the best thing that ever happened?
No, I didn't mean...
You jerk! I will never talk to you again!
- Oh-keun! - Let go!
Really?
Yes.
Good thinking.
When I heard of your love illness, I felt bad knowing how lonely you were.
I'm sorry for leaving you behind all alone.
Don't be sorry. I'm happy for you.
I'll have to quit working after I get married.
I understand. Why would you continue working?
I'm only doing this because I have no man to depend on.
Don't worry about anything here.
I heard that Hong-choon is a very skilled nurse.
She's going to work as a midwife after marrying Oh-keun.
Have you seen her in person?
Of course. She has a big mole on her face.
And she looks very mean and feisty.
A woman should be sweet like me. I don't know what he sees in her.
I thought he was keen on Ha-dong.
He was!
Hong-choon is a hundred times better than Ha-dong.
Ha-dong has a terrible personality.
I'm sure she's sweeter than you.
Please, that hurts.
I became mean only because of my husband.
Before I was married, I was so quiet and meek.
All the doctors and nurses will come to the wedding.
It'll take much time to prepare all the food.
Let's go and buy the groceries.
Let's go.
Congratulations, I heard Doctor Heo is Lady Kong-bin's personal physician.
Thank you.
My son is the doctor for Lady In-bin, who just got pregnant.
Congratulations.
You wouldn't know about politics, but Lady In-bin has the king's favor.
I heard that Lady Kong-bin is ill, and that it's no use taking care of her.
Doctor Heo will be held responsible. He must be very anxious.
Milady, you are a noble lady.
You aren't supposed to chitchat with lowly people on the street.
Please, continue on your way.
Good-bye.
Let's get going. Excuse us.
Did you hear?
Oh-keun is going to marry Nurse Hong-choon.
Good day! Sell tons!
Ha-dong!
Ha-dong, what are you doing?
What's wrong?
What is it?
Why's he insisting on getting married and troubling himself AND me?
You talk too much.
I do NOT. I said one measly thing.
It's so hard having to deal with these fools.
Woe is me.
Man, I told him to untangle this.
Yang-tae, this is hopeless!
That's not how you-- Whoa!
Don't let it get away!
How do you feel?
I am a nervous wreck.
You were never nervous even when treating dying patients.
Please live happily.
I'm embarrassed to see you girls.
Ma'am.
Come on in.
You look so beautiful!
Ma'am, your wedding gift.
What is it?
Baby clothes the princes used to wear. Be sure to have a healthy son.
You shouldn't have...
- So pretty. - So beautiful.
Fool! Stop drooling!
Look at that fool.
Look at that grin.
The wife's bow.
The husband's reply.
He could bow ten more times and it wouldn't be enough.
Look at that big smile. Close that mouth!
The official drink.
More, more. Fill 'er up.
Bottom's up!
So pretty.
I need this tonic for the lady. Use ingredients of the best quality.
Yes, sir.
Here you go.
The foxglove is too old. Get me something else.
We don't have any more.
That is all there's left.
What do you mean? We were in stock a few days ago.
This is of low quality. I can't make a tonic with this.
There's nothing I can do.
After Lady In-bin became pregnant,
we were ordered to save high quality ingredients for her tonic.
Who gave you that order?
The order came from Doctor Yu.
New ingredients arrive next month. Take this for now.
The ingredient is reserved for Lady In-bin's tonic.
I know. But I need it for Lady Kong-bin.
There is no more left in the storage, so I'll have to borrow a little.
New ingredients arrive next month, so I'm sure you won't run out.
I can't let you do that.
I have my orders, too. What if I get into trouble?
On-ji.
Sorry.
Lady In-bin needs the tonic for her pregnancy,
but Lady Kong-bin needs the tonic to cure her serious condition.
Shouldn't the top quality ingredients be used for her first?
Wench, what did you just say?
Lady Kong-bin should get the best ingredients?
You mean you don't care what happens to Lady In-bin?
No, ma'am. I only meant that...
Shut up!
Who is that wench?
She's a royal nurse under Lady Kong-bin.
Wench, you dare to disregard Lady In-bin because you work for Lady Kong-bin?
Girls, drag her out!
Ma'am, please forgive her. She didn't know any better.
Stay out of this.
How dare she look down on Lady In-bin?
She must be punished.
What are you waiting for? Drag her out!
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
I've been so ill that I couldn't take care of my boys lately.
They like you, so stop by their rooms and take care of them for me.
Yes, Milady.
Milady.
Come in.
I brought the tonic you asked for.
I got it for Lady In-bin.
Get ready to go to her quarters.
Yes, Milady.
Milady, you are not well enough to walk.
I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
In-bin came by when I was ill. I must return the kind favor.
Then please have somebody deliver the tonic.
No, I want to go myself.
If you are worried, why don't you come with me?
Why were you saying such things?
Answer me!
Lady Kong-bin is very ill.
I meant that she needed a tonic made with good ingredients.
So you were forcing the other nurse to give up the ingredients?
There are others who require tonics made with top quality ingredients...
Shut up!
What are you doing?
Isn't she my nurse?
Why is she here?
Milady, I was teaching her a lesson for her arrogant behavior.
What did she do?
I asked you a question.
Tell Lady In-bin that I'm here to see her.
Her Ladyship is taking a nap now.
How dare you? Tell her immediately.
Yes, ma'am.
Milady...
What is it?
Lady Kong-bin is here.
I don't want to see her.
But she came all the way...
It's okay.
Tell her I'm in no condition due to my morning sickness.
Yes, Milady.
Forgive me, but the lady is not well.
How can she be so rude? She says she's not well enough?
Speak to her again.
It's all right. Let's go.
Milady.
Milady!
- Milady! - Milady!
