(Episode 38)
Goodness, you should have called us.
Right. We were going to get you when you called.
Where is the lady?
The lady? What lady?
She was here.
- Lady San? - She left.
She left?
She left this for you.
You cannot tell him that so soon.
I have no time to waste.
Lady San asked us to hold you back...
as long as possible.
She gave us a lot of silver.
We took that green thing and some silver.
- That was all, right? - Yes.
I looked inside, and there were only some clothes.
- Was there no letter? - A letter?
- Was there? - No way.
- That. - Right.
She told us to tell you this when you woke up.
"I will return in seven years."
- What? - This is it.
"I will return in seven years."
"If you are still with the Crown Prince, I will find you."
What happens in seven years?
That means she will never return.
- When did she leave? - A good two hours ago.
If you can think of where she went, go after her.
She knows...
more roads than I do.
If she is determined to hide, I can never find her.
- Help him. - How?
I cannot find her.
Your Majesty.
It seems I was asleep for a long time.
I had so many dreams.
I am incredibly hungry.
Yes, Your Majesty. You were asleep for a very long time.
I am your trustworthy Assistant Royal Secretary,
and I was so concerned for your health.
Why is Queen Mu nowhere to be seen?
Chancellor Wang will not say.
This stiff one thinks that speaking of women will...
dirty his tongue or something.
While you were asleep, so many...
utterly shocking things happened...
His Majesty is still weak in body and spirit.
Leave politics until later.
Where is Queen Mu?
I am so unwell.
Why is she not here?
She is dead.
His jokes are no longer funny.
The Crown Prince cut her down with a single blow.
What are you saying?
She was so very distraught when the Queen died,
so she came to your chambers...
What...
is he saying?
Her Highness the Queen had been sick for a long time, so...
I asked you a question.
What is he talking about?
I...
I cannot...
understand what he is saying.
We searched the palace in vain.
I think it was Seonui Gate.
Someone with a similar description was seen leaving that way.
- When? - Four hours ago.
She is headed to Byeokrando to board a ship. Follow her...
You think it was Seonui Gate?
A similar description?
Shall I prepare your disguise?
Will you not see him?
You might feel less guilty if you see his face.
Forget it.
Do you feel bad?
I shall leave.
Thank you for this.
I shall walk you back.
Nurse the patient.
I will walk you as far as that bridge.
I thought what it would have been like had I never known.
Not known what?
That you were the Crown Prince.
Would things have been different had I never found out?
Guess what? You are the only person in Goryeo who cursed me rudely?
Not even my father spoke to me like that.
I did not curse.
You were even worse.
I remembered you,
so of course you must recognize...
I have seen many fools like you. I know your kind well.
That was just...
Not even Yuan's Emperor treats me like that.
- You hold a grudge for a long time. - Do I?
But still, I shall forgive you.
You let me lean on you.
You are the only person in Goryeo who made me lean on you.
- What are you doing? - I slipped in the snow.
I fell into your arms.
Let me stay like this.
You will slip.
Will you catch me?
No.
My insides are very twisted.
So Hwa.
How would we be if you did not know I was the Crown Prince?
Whether I knew or not,
it was the same.
I liked you...
a lot.
At first, I was envious.
You both...
had a friendship that I had never had.
I wanted to join in.
After that,
I could not help but like you.
Each time we met, you gave me things...
I could never receive elsewhere.
"Who is this man?"
"Is he a bag of tricks?"
"He grants me wishes even before I ask."
"Why?"
What then?
I knew not how to receive.
I knew not how to give.
At first, I wanted to keep you in my aviary.
I also thought of taking you far away.
You would not have done so.
You pretend not to,
but you care deeply for your country.
I must have cherished you too much.
Too much to hold you back.
Your Highness.
What?
I wish you good health.
Why are you suddenly talking like an old woman?
I just...
I knew it.
What are you doing?
Will you just stay still?
It was a farewell.
What a brat.
The Queen is gone.
Wang Lin is gone.
Them I need not worry about.
- Are these two left? - Master.
Are you still there? Leave with her.
Do you have a question?
What do I do with her when she is done?
- Who? - Bi Yeon, the maidservant.
Must I know such names?
What shall I do with her?
I gave you an order.
Must I kill her?
If you let a witness live, she will drag us down in the future.
How many times have I taught you that?
Shall I kill her?
Very well.
If you cannot, I shall order someone else.
If I do as I am told,
will you really save Lady San?
You just have to get her outside.
Then will she live?
Tell me so yourself.
Then I will believe you.
I am scared to death.
- Leave. - Let me enter.
- How dare you! - I have an urgent message.
- No! - Please, master.
Then give her a message.
Tell her Lady San sent me.
Then she will ask to see me.
- Did you say Lady San? - Yes.
I have a message for the Crown Princess.
Did you...
- get the scar to save her? - Yes, that was me.
I am the maidservant who pretended to be her.
She has a message from Lady San.
It is for the Crown Princess' ears only.
It is a secret.
Why could your mistress not enter the palace?
I am not free to leave whenever I want.
Lady San cannot return.
Why is that?
She cannot be seen by the Crown Prince.
What do you mean?
You can hear the details from her in person.
I do not know much.
What exactly does she want to tell me...
that she must see me outside the palace?
It is so strange.
You must go alone.
No one can know.
Not even him.
That is even stranger.
Lady San is...
She is...
pregnant.
What?
- Whose is it? - I do not know.
She wished to discuss the matter with you.
In person.
- Jin Gwan. - Yes, Your Highness.
Tell the Crown Prince that I must see him.
Right now.
Come here.
He saw her.
She was traveling alone with a long sword,
so he noticed her.
What was she wearing?
She was wearing red.
- That must be her. - Are you sure?
She left wearing that flowing, red robe.
- What did she look like? - She was pretty.
That was her.
You fool. Are all women who wear dresses pretty?
She was pretty.
My eyes almost popped out. She was so pretty,
so I followed her for a bit.
You were on duty.
There were some men waiting for her outside.
5 or 6 of them.
They surrounded her,
so I returned. I was afraid they would pick a fight.
Your Highness, behind you.
Do not bow.
Are you okay?
It hurts.
Must I apologize?
It was a fair fight.
My sword slipped.
- Lin. - Yes?
I have a bad feeling.
I am scared.
I trust you do not feel uncomfortable.
This used to be your room.
I guess you might not know.
You were away.
Could you tell me? I would love to know...
what you are planning.
Wait a little bit.
She will be here soon.
What are you doing? Who are these men?
Tell them to stop!
Stop this!
What are you doing here?
Why are you tied up like that?
What are you doing? Why is she here?
Do not touch her! She is the Crown Princess.
Calm down.
You two...
will have some tea.
Your Highness. Your Highness.
Your Highness.
I cannot find her.
Your Highness.
One of you will come with me.
I need a hostage.
The other one...
can pour this into your tea before drinking it.
What is he talking about?
He is a lunatic.
You are correct.
This poison...
was made by someone I cherished very much.
I heard it does not cause much pain.
It puts your internal organs to sleep one by one until...
your lungs stop working.
What will you do?
Which of you will take it, and which of you will follow me?
This was the most generous plan I could think of.
Do you want me to tell you what my third plan was?
Your Highness.
I apologize.
But you should drink the poison.
I do not believe...
you can survive a day with someone like him.
So it would be better for you to die at this moment.
That is what you should do as the Crown Princess.
- Excuse me, Lady San. - I have a favor to ask you.
I would like to serve...
Her Highness' last tea myself.
How so?
She is the one who took away...
your place as the Crown Princess.
That is...
exactly why.
Is this enough?
I do not know much about poison.
Please do not do this.
What did I ever do to you?
It would be great...
if we could be sweet sisters in our next lives.
The Crown Princess has been abducted.
And I heard Lady San is there as well.
Do not be afraid.
He said it will not hurt.
Wait.
You need to share...
such an important moment...
together.
I have come across many precious people in my life...
which most people cannot even dream of.
I was dearly beloved.
That is enough for me.
Now,
let us not let it go cold.
I'm earnestly hoping and praying
In case you can hear my heart
I miss you, I miss you
