(Episode 28)
Master Eun.
The Chancellor's son is here.
How brazen of him to visit you?
Should I send him back?
We have committed...
an unforgivable crime against your family.
The state already said...
your family was innocent.
We committed...
a crime.
It is nothing you did.
My daughter must have been shocked. She is not doing well.
Do you wish to visit her?
Lady San.
This is Wang Lin.
Thanks to you, my family lived.
I do not know how I can thank you.
I will not ask you for forgiveness.
But I am worried...
because I heard...
the Queen called you before you witnessed.
You went against her order, right?
I am afraid you may have gotten on her bad side.
I should protect you in any way I can,
but I must leave.
So...
Where are you going?
Lady San.
What is it?
I am appointed as the Inspector General.
I will be stationed in Jeolla Province.
When are you leaving?
Soon, I think.
Have...
a safe trip.
Are you all right?
No.
Do not get sick.
You did not do anything wrong.
You did the opposite.
You catch me when I fall... and save me when I am captured.
When I cry, you wait for me.
But...
Yes?
On the day when my mother passed away,
we were in a carriage to get home from the mountain.
I was holding my mother tightly in my arms,
and she was so cold.
I cannot forget it.
That is why I do not think...
I can stay close to you and...
pretend nothing happened.
Right.
Let us sort out the corrupt.
Those who were promoted 2 or 3 levels at a time.
Those people must be lucky not skilled.
Find how connected they are,
and decide whom to dismiss.
Master Lin visited the Minister of Finance.
I believe it was to apologize.
We are counting the weapons each army owns.
Quite a lot of them are old and not feasible for battle.
The Minister of Finance just left with his daughter.
To visit his wife's grave.
And Lin?
He is forbidden from entering the palace.
You will not send him away, will you?
He will be sent to Jeolla Province.
You will be lucky to see him once a year.
Your mother grants your wishes.
I saw how she looked at Lin.
I also saw how Lin looked at her.
Do you remember?
The day we were being chased by wild dogs.
We climbed up this tree.
The wild dogs refused to leave.
There were three of them.
You fell asleep in the tree.
How gutsy of you.
Because you held me...
until my bodyguards found us.
Why did you love to...
sneak off from your bodyguards?
Because I was with you.
You were always there.
I realized that your life...
became a mess since you met me.
You gave up places you wanted to go to, food you wanted to eat,
and people you wished to see.
Everything.
You always put me first.
That was not all.
My mother always looked at you with a death glare.
I got scared just by looking.
I actually almost died a few times.
Should I have let you go sooner?
Then maybe you would be doing better.
You could have...
rode horses and shot arrows all you wanted.
And like whomever you wanted to.
If I disliked being with you,
I would have done all I could to get away.
Tell me if you do not wish to leave. My mother...
I wish to leave.
You fool.
I will travel all over Goryeo and take note.
I will tell you about everything if you wish to hear.
Who will hold me if I climb a tree to get away from...
the wild dogs again?
You are no longer a child.
Who will hide...
the fact that So Hwa's mother and those men...
died because of me?
Forget about it.
I should be the one to leave...
for causing their deaths.
I have forgotten everything.
I do not know what to say.
How will she look at me...
when I tell her this?
Do not tell her.
Do not tell her for your peace of mine.
Lady San...
deserves to forget everything and move on.
Help her do so.
I beg you, Your Highness.
I am sorry, Mother.
I am sorry.
My lord, look.
Your Highness, please.
(Sokcho)
Your mother is buried in a beautiful place.
She liked it here because...
she could see the lake.
Me too.
I decided to...
like this place as well.
We should come here sometimes.
Since I like it here.
Should you not be very busy?
Why are you here?
To get you.
- Why? - "Why"?
Your master sent you to help me,
and you disappeared.
You made me come for you, and you ask why?
I planned to return shortly.
I just wanted to tell my mother something.
I decided on something else.
San.
From now on, you are to stay with me.
Your Highness.
You can decide in which manner.
If you want a title, I will give you one.
If you wish to be my friend, I will treat you as such.
If you refuse to listen, I will frame you...
and lock you up.
My master gave me one mission.
To help you take the first step.
- And then... - Lin is leaving.
I heard.
I could not stop him.
I see.
I cannot let you go too.
Being a good Crown Prince and king,
this nation and world.
It means nothing.
Your Highness.
Stay with me.
I will keep you close and wait...
until you can see me.
I have a horrible temper,
but I am very patient.
Wait and see.
I will wait and wait.
Each time you turn around,
I will be there.
I should have visited you.
I do not know how to thank you.
If your daughter...
had not testified to my son's innocence...
I doubt he was innocent.
He was not,
but my daughter decided to let it go.
She gave up on the revenge she had waited eight years to get.
Do you mean...
my son actually caused your wife harm?
Do you know why?
Lord Eun went to talk to him.
I doubt it will be that easy.
Lady San and the Chancellor's second son...
were meant to be married.
Is it good?
Then can you at least smile?
My master would sell out his nation...
if it was to save his daughter.
Oh dear.
That came out wrong.
He will get what he wants.
I heard he has been hiding his assets.
His assets?
Do you serve the Minister of Finance?
I do.
Is he inside?
They are talking.
I see.
Take him and serve him some rice punch. I will serve that.
His family saved mine.
I should serve him in person.
Come with me.
Are you saying that...
my third son and your daughter...
I know that...
every day your third son spends here is torture.
What my daughter did upset the Queen.
Her future is at risk.
Do you have a plan?
I will hear it.
How about...
we marry off our children and send them far away?
The Queen is from Yuan, so they cannot go there.
I am thinking of somewhere further abroad.
I have people preparing a house in Saracen.
A royal's marriage...
means adding a name to the register of royal women.
That is why every union requires...
the Queen's approval.
Once I know we both agree to this,
I plan to visit Her Highness.
My lady?
What are you doing?
I have a message for Master Lin.
What is wrong?
I do not know.
About what?
Should I be happy,
or should I be sad?
- Jin Gwan. - Yes, my lady.
I might never see my brother again.
But I think that...
it is a great relief.
What should I do?
We were very lucky.
I thought Lord Eun and his daughter would mess things up,
but now, I have a use for them again.
We can use them to distance the Crown Prince from the Queen...
and create a reason for Lin to come to us.
Lin is a good boy.
He is.
He likes me very much.
I know that.
Make Won...
give up his title himself.
Of course.
I will not give Yuan a reason to object.
The Crown Prince will create his own downfall.
Lin is a good boy.
He is.
He will serve you loyally.
Become my puppet king,
and stab your son through the heart.
This is the inspector's office.
Are you here to confess?
I am here to get you.
Must I come with you?
Do you not wish to know...
- who awaits you? - I do not.
But I must apprehend you myself.
The Minister of Finance is in danger.
Come with me.
Lord Eun...
wishes to see you regarding the royal women's register.
- The women's register? - Well...
What is it?
Well...
You have a habit of infuriating me.
It is about a marriage.
With his daughter, Eun San,
and Master Wang Lin.
He wishes for your permission to marry them off.
What?
Why did you not tell me sooner?
I did not know he would come so soon.
He is already at Wonseongjeon.
Give me that medicine.
Hurry up.
I need that medicine. Give me that medicine.
Please.
Excuse me.
Excuse...
I will call the royal physician.
Minister...
Minister of Finance.
Why are you lying down here?
Minister of Finance. What happened...
His pulse.
No, something must be wrong with me. You try.
Your Highness.
It is too late.
Minister of Finance. Minister of Finance.
(The King in Love)
Bring him here before the Crown Prince finds out.
I do not mind if he is dead.
Bring Lin here, and make sure he does not get hurt.
He will be the Crown Prince soon.
Is this a treason after all?
Please forgive me, Father.
My life?
Will you give that to me?
I will take care of this.
I cannot trust you. I will...
take care of her.
I plan to leave with Lady San.
That does not make sense. You are my Wang Lin.
Let us wait a little longer.
