The truth is, during the time at the Royal Hospital, seeing your lackadaisical manner...
As long as I avoid being mixed up with a man like that,
even if my life is shortened by half...
So what I'm saying is
for you to be my lover is really unreasonable.
Did you come here to say these things?
What?
Stop!
What are you doing?
Let go!
If we let them stay here any longer, we'll be in danger.
If we can secretly notify the officials...
No! They are our benefactors who cured my father!
But if you continue like this, I'll tell my father immediately!
You...
Your father is here.
Father.
So Baek, you step aside first. The two of us have something to talk about.
Where are you swinging your knife?
How is it?
You have to kill the person who saved me?
Chief.
Then go and kill me.
What? You can't make the move?
In that case, don't touch those people.
Those who saved me are the same as being me.
Chief!
You can't be up and about yet.
It's fine.
This kid is hopeless.
For the raid on the tribute this time, Kkeok Jeong, you take the lead.
Don't make any rash moves. I won't stand idly by.
What'd you say!
Even here, there'd be people who want to kill you, isn't there?
Indeed, a bandit's den isn't safe enough.
How about relocating to another place?
Being caught and decapitated, or dying here...
Still.
But why exactly did you come to such a dangerous place?
I came all the way here to see you because of Rang.
What do you mean, "because of Rang"?
Did something happen to Rang?
I applied acupuncture to the acupoints that you taught me,
but she hasn't gotten better.
How could that be?
She clearly got better when I gave her acupuncture.
You're certain that even after applying acupuncture to those acupoints, her fever didn't subside?
That's right.
I reckon,
suddenly becoming a slave was already a great blow.
That child...
still wants to press on as if nothing had happened.
But still, Rang...
I will do my utmost to take care of her.
My Lord, please free yourself of the crime as quickly as possible.
But...
How is Deok Pal ajussi... (ajussi - older man)
Why did you pretend to be a quack?
I'm a quack indeed,
because I wasn't even able to have my wife hear my daughter's heartbeat.
That's right. Have you let your wife hear your son's heartbeat?
She should rest a bit. Her ear has been glued to the child's chest.
I'm truly grateful.
Thank you for saving my wife and our child.
Convey the gratitude to your wife and child.
I'm also very grateful that the two of them were able to survive.
Why?
Even though I did things to you that I shouldn't have.
Why did you still do that for our sake?
If you were me, you'd do the same.
Those in this world who have children
are unable to disregard the parents of other children.
My Lord.
I've committed a heinous crime. Please just kill me.
Don't speak words that aren't in your heart.
Looking at that precious child, you still wish to die?
You want me believe those words?
I don't know how to repay you.
I just ask that you kill me.
You know, right?
The one who killed Do Saeng, don't you?
My medical knife. Who exactly did you give it to?
To the supervisor.
If it's the supervisor,
you're saying it's Right State Councillor Gim Chi Yong?
Yes. That's correct.
In order so that I could live,
I did whatever they asked me to do.
I will go in front of His Highness, the Crown Prince and tell him everything as it is.
I don't want to be a father that my son feels ashamed of.
That's well thought, Ajussi.
But how are you going to see His Highness?
You two are under pursuit.
I will have you meet His Highness.
You think just by keeping it a secret from me that I wouldn't know?
If Choe Won sees him, he'll surely hand him over to His Highness.
You're still so calm...
Your Majesty, the Queen.
They will never set foot into the capital alive, so please do not worry.
This was found in the furnace of His Highness' greenhouse.
It's the same handwriting as on the paulownia leaf.
Ravine patriots...
Head Female Physician.
Starting from tomorrow, Pangwan Lee will do the diagnosis in place of me. (Pangwan - official of 5th junior rank)
- Thus... - Thus,
you want me to pay special attention to things?
You...
This is Your Highness's favourite mugwort rice cake.
How did you know?
This is something that only Choe Won knows.
He said that I must give this letter to Your Highness.
Tonight between 9 - 11pm,
let's meet in front of that rock where we ate mugwort rice cake together.
I'll go with the person who can clear my injustice and point out the person who tried to poison Your Highness.
Your Highness must come on time.
Your Highness, His Majesty wishes to see you.
This is a letter discovered in your greenhouse.
Did you really collude with Jo Gwang Jo's people?
Your Majesty.
How can they be in collusion? It can't be true.
Crown Prince must have something that he can't say.
Crown Prince, how can you let this kind of matter happen?
The handwriting on this letter and the handwriting on the paulownia tree...
I don't know of this matter.
How could I dare...
It's simply nonsense.
Then this!
How do you explain this?
Father,
Jo Gwang Jo has been my childhood teacher.
I've learnt and became enlightened from him.
Shut up!
Jo Gwang Jo is a treacherous criminal whom I bestowed the death sentence to!
But Father, you are regretting it too now, right?
What did you say?
Your Majesty.
Crown Prince, how could you be so rude in front of your Father?
Whether the followers of the Jo Gwang Jo should be classified as rebels
is something, that I believe, should be given re-consideration.
The real rebels
are those who have been keenly watching me like a tiger, wanting to poison me.
Father,
not long ago, the murder of my royal physician
was related to the conspiracy to poison me.
Shut up!
Father, I will definitely find the truth.
I don't want to hear it!
Father...
No!
How can he mention about the incident to poison the Crown Prince?
It can't be that...
those two brats... the Crown Prince...
That's impossible.
The whole Yangju is our people.
The both of them won't have escaped from Yangju.
Do Mun won't make a mistake again.
Haven't I laid my life over this matter?
Before the Red Demon catches him, we must have him first.
The Crown Prince does not speak empty words.
There should be some grounds for it.
Aigoo. Of late, my body is feeling much better having taken the decoctions.
But what are you standing there for?
Quickly go and clear your injustice, why don't you?
The medicine and decoction...
It's fine. I know it all. I will take your medicine.
Kkeok Jeong, what are you waiting for?
Father,
there are officers looking for them all around Yangju.
So...
pass through when the person who takes our bribes stands in front of the city gates.
Hurry go.
You must take care of your body.
We need to look for a person with a straight beard and an eyebrow that looks like the character "eight".
Isn't it an eyebrow that looks like the character "eight" and a straight beard?
Over there.
Check carefully.
What? Shouldn't you line up?
Have you been living comfortably?
What?
That's not it.
No?
Have you been living well?
Hurry.
All of you! Follow me.
Did the Crown Prince drink up all the decoction?
Yes.
The Crown Prince will be here this evening and no one should be allowed to disturb.
We'll be there after passing through this mountain.
I'm really grateful.
Then, we will take our leave first.
Kkeok Jeong.
We're leaving just like that?
- Let's go. - Yes.
Guryong... are they really there?
Then quickly notify the people at Yangju,
so the assassins can get there quickly.
Lower your voice!
This time, we definitely must get rid of those two.
I've already given the order.
But how did you know of the truth?
The report by the Royal Investigation Bureau.
Report?
Inspector Im came to know of it and reported it to me.
There's still some time before the promised time.
Your Highness.
Yes. You're experiencing this suffering because of me.
There's someone who wants to see Your Highness.
The one who wanted to poison Your Highness, killed Jubu Min
and the matter of passing this crime to me,
he knows everything clearly.
Come out.
Are you Gu Deok Pal?
Your Highness, I've committed a crime that deserves death.
Your humble servant will tell you the truth now.
All right.
Regarding the murder of Jubu Min,
is it true that it is related to the conspiracy to poison me?
Yes, that's right.
Who exactly are they?
It's Supervisor Gim and Assistant Supervisor Yun.
I've committed a serious crime!
The fire at the Eastern Palace and the mixing of your decoction with the jim poison
were all carried out by me at their order.
Then, will you be able to say all these things in front of His Majesty?
Yes, Your Highness.
I will put in my best effort to report the truth on everything in front of His Majesty.
My Lord!
Your Highness!
You... what brings you here...
Lord Gim Chi Yong already knows about this place.
Everyone should leave quickly!
Your Highness, we should leave and hide.
Come. Let's go.
No!
You! You!
Ajussi!
Ajussi, you can't lose consciousness! Ajussi!
You! Come to your senses! You!
My Lord, you should take ajussi elsewhere right away! Hurry up!
Your Highness, leave first.
You! Come to your senses!
You!
I'll do it.
You look into stopping the bleeding.
Can he be saved?
I'm asking... can he be saved?
I... I will definitely save him.
I will... definitely.
I want to bring him back to the palace.
No.
The person who tries to poison you and killed Jubu Min is still in the palace, Your Highness.
How could it be...
By saving him, I would have the courage to see Father
and have the all truth revealed when the time comes.
Then, please bring me into the palace too.
I want to enter the palace together and save him.
Have you forgotten that you are a treacherous criminal?
If you appear now,
you will be executed even before the whole truth is brought to light!
But...
Even with this place now, didn't they find out about it?
If he is handed over to you, it will be more dangerous.
But...
What the Crown Prince said is right.
Right now, the palace is the safest place compared to elsewhere.
My Lord... you should be thinking of your own safety, My Lord.
No! I can't do that.
No! You must!
Only this way, you, Rang, Deok Pal ajussi as well as His Highness
will all be safe.
Still, I...
My Lord, if you refuse to listen to our advice,
His Highness, the Crown Prince, will issue a Royal Command for you to do so!
I am still unable to leave just like that.
My chest is pounding real hard.
Just go.
I can't leave just like that!
This.. just like this.
Seeing the horse thief before me, my heart pounds really hard.
The more I think about it,
the more my heart races non-stop like a frog.
I must ask why my heart is pounding like this.
The fact that the horse thief is a physician, it's something he should know, right?
The king of flowers... the peony.
Why are you still here?
What if someone discovered you?
Why have you not returned? How is Deok Pal?
In comparison with Deok Pal ajussi, I'm more worried about you, My Lord.
No! You must save Deok Pal.
His Highness, the Crown Prince, will definitely save Deok Pal ajussi.
Yes, that should be the case. That should be the way.
Everything will definitely get better.
And, you will be able to live together with Rang just like before.
Oh? It can't be wiped away like that.
You can only wipe it off like this.
Wait...
you don't even know how to fight, what exactly happened?
So Baek, you shouldn't be disturbing them.
What? I shouldn't disturb them?
I will follow how you taught me in administering acupuncture on Rang, My Lord.
So, you shouldn't worry.
Where did you and Rang meet?
Kkeok Jeong,
when can I go and ask him?
But where did that girl go earlier?
Why is that beautiful lady with him?
They have a liking for each other.
No.
Although there's low human traffic,
the fact that the Royal Investigation Bureau is nearby makes it dangerous.
Please endure a little longer...
I just want to determine Rang's current condition myself.
Then, I will bring her here tomorrow between 3 to 5pm.
Compared to there and the mountain fortress, it's safer here.
They were almost captured!
Yet, they managed to slip away right before their eyes!
My sentiment exactly.
It was said that Deok Pal was hit by an arrow.
The person clad in the scholarly outfit was addressed as the His Highness, the Crown Prince?
It was reported that way.
No... according to Eunuch Hwang,
His Highness, the Crown Prince, has been in the greenhouse all day...
My Lord! My Lord!
I want to see His Highness.
His Highness gave the order that no one is allowed in.
What brings you here so late at night?
I heard that you've been staying here,
so as the Royal Hospital's Supervisor, I'm worried about your safety.
I've let your worrying go to waste.
It's not a waste.
Your Highness who is going to ascend the throne in the future,
if your body is hurt...
It's a waste.
Even if you give me poison, I'm so healthy that I can survive it.
You don't need to be overly worried.
I need to quickly see father.
What did you just say?
My Royal Physician Jubu Min... why and who murdered him?
I've found the witness who can speak of the truth.
Then where is that witness right now?
So that you can see him, I've already brought him into the palace.
But he was shot by an arrow from the people who want to frame him.
He needs to be treated urgently right now.
What?
Although he is unconscious right now,
I'll make sure he wakes up and comes to see you.
So please allow me to give him treatment in the palace.
During this period of time, before I tell you to come in,
you must not enter my room.
Furthermore, you're not allowed to let other people enter as well.
The people who go in and out of my room with my permission,
you must turn a blind eye and not say anything.
The person who goes against this order,
will have to hand over their life in front of me.
Yes. Your Highness.
Don't make me disappointed.
Treat that fellow properly.
Make him able to talk.
I really want to listen to what he can say from his mouth.
How is it? Can he be saved?
I will do my utmost.
I need a helper. Just find Da In.
I understand. You must save him.
Quickly go to the mountain fortress.
Are you like this because Gae Pal Son threw a dagger at you?
I won't let him do that in the future.
He said that he wants to see his daughter.
Before you see your daughter, are you going to stay up all night here?
Oh my, and you're staying in the rain.
You'll get sick if you stay in the rain.
What to do?
It looks like he doesn't even have the strength to go to the mountain fortress.
I'll carry you.
So,
including you, Eunuch Hwang,
all the palace maids and eunuchs aren't allowed in,
but only that girl, Da In, was allowed into the Eastern Palace?
That's right.
That child, Da In, even brought the medicine into the greenhouse, right?
That's right.
My Lord, as a matter of urgency,
it looks like I can't come and go as I please like usual.
Then what should we do?
We need to watch over the Eastern Palace even more now than in the past.
Something must be happening inside the Easter Palace right now.
This horse thief is hopeless.
Let's go.
We need to prepare the things that are being sent to the palace.
Okay, let's go.
This isn't the road to the mountain fortress.
I'm going to the Royal Investigation Bureau.
I'm going to bring the horse thief's daughter here, so the horse thief can see her.
You can't.
There are a lot of people there. We can't defeat them.
I know how the horse thief feels.
When my father was being imprisoned at the Royal Investigation Bureau,
I missed my father like I was going to die.
Horse thief will also die just from missing his daughter like that!
Who's there?
This isn't her either.
Is it you? Are you horse thief's...
Are you Choe Won's daughter?
What are you doing?
Go towards Yong Sam. Hurry.
Can I really see orabeoni there? (Orabeoni - older brother)
They're over there!
Yes.
What?
Why did you come, when you said you won't?
So Baek, if you get caught, the Chief will go crazy.
If you get caught, I'll go crazy too.
Where exactly is it?
Father!
Rang!
Rang! Rang!
Father!
My daughter...
You're my daughter, right?
Let me... let me take a look.
- Is my daughter well? - Are you okay father?
- Really? - Really?
Actually I'm not fine, because I miss you too much.
Actually I'm not okay either.
Because I missed my daughter too much.
Rang, are you often coughing?
Did you perhaps cough up blood?
Did you have diarrhea?
It's okay. You can tell me everything.
She had diarrhea.
Not only does she keep having diarrhea, she has been coughing really badly.
It's so bad that she can't sleep.
I'll get better.
Because the pretty female physician will give me acupuncture.
What do you mean by get better?
Just take a look at her. She's like half dead.
Exactly how long are you just going to leave her like that?
Orabeoni, didn't you want to treat her...
that's why you broke out of prison, isn't it?
Take us away too. Let's escape together.
I don't want to be slave, even if I have to die.
Just wait a little longer.
I've already found the person who can prove that I'm innocent.
I can clear my name very soon and then, go and get you two.
Really? Can you really clear your name?
Yes. I want to take you two with me now,
but that'll make things harder for you two.
I can't let you two be pursued as well.
I understand.
If you take us with you, you'll be shot with a big needle again, right?
I don't want you to lose so much blood from being shot by a big needle.
You must come soon.
I will, I will...
I'll definitely come and get you two, so until then...
I can wait. You must come soon.
I will... I will...
Promise.
Father, you must come and get us.
I'll definitely come.
You really... must come.
Let's go, Rang.
We must go back quickly before the Red Demon comes.
The little kid and the girl, when did they both go out?
Where did they go?
Immediately send the officers to search around the area.
Yes.
Where did you two go in the middle of the night?
- The well. - Latrine.
That...
We went to the latrine to poop, then we went to the well to wash our hands.
Is that so?
So,
you went to the well to wash your hands and the little kid went to the latrine to poop.
That's right.
Are you lying with your eyes wide open?
Little kid, you can go back.
You who went to the well, let's have a talk.
Let go! Let me go!
Don't lie.
Because of your brother, I can't see anything else right now.
Quickly say where you saw your brother!
You want me to tell you?
Fine, I'll tell you.
If you can make me so crazy that I can betray my brother.
What?
Try it.
Make it so that I can only see you and not care about my brother.
That way even if you don't want me to tell you, I'll still tell you.
It will scar... go and put some medicine on it.
Isn't this trouble?
This was originally a good opportunity to send both Deok Pal and Choe Won on the road to hell.
Merchant Jang's henchman, Do Mun,
we can't keep him, isn't that right?
I've arrived.
What is this?
My men have made a mistake.
I've come to give money to redeem a life.
You don't hand over a life, but you redeem a life with money.
As expected, a merchant is different from the bones.
You've already made things the way they are,
and you still don't want to behead him.
Because he's my man from the bones.
What?
Can this bit of money redeem your valuable life?
The child that you've raised, Da In,
I want her to become my hands and feet at the Royal Hospital.
My Lord, how can you use that girl?
Is that all right?
What did you just say?
Supervisor Gim and Assistant Supervisor Yun...
I know that you're closer to them than anyone else.
So did you and those two perhaps,
participate in the murder of Jubu Min...
What do you wish to hear me say?
Ajussi, I only want to know the truth...
The truth?
What you want and what you want to believe is the truth.
Ajussi.
The reason that you can be released from the Royal Investigation Bureau
is all thanks to Lord Gim Chi Yong.
But that person won't do anything without any considerations.
You must personally repay the favor.
What are you doing?
The officials have given the instructions to let you go.
Based on my intuition,
there is a secret letter from your lover inside.
This is the flower that my mother likes the most.
This is the bag that Rang gave me to put her medicine inside.
Little kid, is it like that?
I didn't expect that it'd be like this.
I thought that after you saw your father last night,
you'd come to this eonni and help your father run an errand right now.
What are you doing to the child?
What can I do? I haven't even started.
From now onwards, I must do it well.
Let's go.
- Rang! Rang! - Put me down!
Put me down!
I don't want to go! I don't want to go!
No!
Deok Pal's condition... please send me a letter via Merchant Man Mul in the market.
Now you're my saviour. I'm extremely grateful.
And I'm extremely sorry.
Who did this? I asked, who did this?
What Old Man? What is it? Is this treated badly?
How can it be bad?
This is treated too well, that's why it's making him uncomfortable.
Where did you find that horse bones that rolled in here?
Don't look for me in the future.
Go and find that horse bones when you're sick!
Grandpa!
Don't look for me in the future!
Aigoo...
Father. How is it? Is it okay now?
How can it not be okay?
Did you think I could leave you behind and die by myself?
As expected of Yangju's Iron Hammer. My father is the best!
Did you eat the wrong food?
Father, seriously... Be like the horse thief once too.
Do what?
That's right. Did you send that physician back safely?
Yes, I've already sent him back.
If you write "Gunongam" so straightforwardly, there might be danger.
If only two people know...
Seriously... how do those officers do things?
I've already sent them a message,
letting them capture the bastard who saved the Chief and Kkeok Jeong in one go.
Capture in one go? Capturing what in one go?
Why did you hit me?
Hey! Wishful thinking!
I told you not to be jealous of the Chief's position.
Why? Why?
Do you wish the Chief to die at this opportunity as well?
Just because that physician and Kkeok Jeong saved the Chief,
you want to harm them?
Are you thinking of harming them?
Seriously...
What? Aigoo, that good-for-nothing fellow. Aigoo...
I can wait. You must come soon.
I was thinking where the horse bones rolled in here
and it was actually the Royal Hospital's quack.
You've made a habit to train the hand performing the acupuncture to be very sensitive.
Saying you're a quack when you're actually quite skilled.
Why are you here?
Could it be that the Crown Prince knows that I'm here
so he sent you to come and find me?
How can that be?
For treating me that night, I should give you a reward.
The physician that comes and goes has given me treatment.
That's good.
Why don't you ask anything?
Horse thief, my chest is really...
How is it? Has someone sent a letter?
Sent a letter?
Rang! No!
A pass to go into the palace. Are you going to go into the palace?
That's right. Since it concerns the life and death of your daughter,
not only the palace, you'd even go to hell.
I've already gone to hell.
Speaking honestly,
it isn't all because of you that I'm alive.
At that time, I was standing at the crossing of the road to hell,
and with a mere thought of leaving my daughter So Baek behind all alone,
I just suddenly woke up.
I really had a narrow escape from death.
Can you save your daughter from just staring at this desperately?
Aigoo, you're really useless as a father.
Is there perhaps... a slave's clothing here?
Why? Do you want to wear that when you go to the palace?
Let's see. When we stole the tributes going to the palace,
we didn't take things like that.
Aren't you the Royal Hospital's slave, Han Ga? But this clothing...
Where did you get this clothing from?
Lord Choe Won said,
as long as I give him my slave's clothing, he'll give me money.
So I...
He definitely said that he went this way.
It hurts!
Then just lead the way honestly.
Where is that medicine merchant who helped your brother send a letter?
How many times do I have to tell you that even if I know, I won't tell you!
You won't say it even if you know?
-=Next Episode Preview=-
Have you gone crazy?
I won't be at ease.
Please endure it.
It's not that I don't understand how you feel for Rang,
but if you're caught, all of this will be useless.
This time, His Highness won't leave them with the slightest opportunity.
How is it?
Am I so healthy that I'd be fine even if I took poison?
If it reaches that stage, then the two of you will have to hand over your lives.
Horse thief, there's a letter.
What is it?
No!
-=Episode 7=-
Let me take a look.
