(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Widows?
The assassins who tried to kill the local functionary were women?
Yes.
I am certain that one of them...
was wearing mourning clothes.
Are you sure?
How could women...
I definitely saw them.
They were not just regular assassins. They were...
Hey.
Where is Yun?
I was informed that he went to a gisaeng house he frequents.
- A gisaeng house? - Yes.
It is called Yeonhwa House in Mudam Valley.
Okay.
Take care of the body.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Right. That is where the village for widows is, is it not?
Pardon?
Come to think of it,
the village for widows is next to the gisaeng house.
Welcome.
We are not here as your customers.
We need to search the place quietly, so cooperate.
Okay.
Let us not complicate things.
Do not let Prince Yeongchang...
who is young and weak take the throne.
Instead,
help me take the throne.
That is the only change in your plan.
So you want to become a king?
Do you think you have what it takes to be a king?
Is he one of them?
No.
If he is one of them, he would not be dressed like that.
What are you doing?
This village for widows is protected by the King.
Men are forbidden here.
You ought to be rolled and taught a lesson!
Oh, my!
Are you here to catch your daughter-in-law who ran away?
Then you should back off even more.
You are hiding something in there.
Goodness.
What are you doing to a weak woman?
What could I be hiding?
How may I help you?
Lord Heo Yun stopped by the gisaeng house for a bit.
There was no one suspicious.
Good work, everyone.
You bought us some time,
so we were able to dodge a bullet.
When we were after the local functionary,
she seemed to be good at fighting.
But I believe she is smart as well.
I think I can assign you missions from now on.
I will do my best.
By the way, who is he?
Why did you bring me here?
Even you, the Chancellor of Special Counselors,
can do nothing.
I had thought you had the King's trust.
But he caught up to you.
Thanks to you, Prince Yeongchang has died.
Even if the King finds out,
the situation will not get any worse.
We have lost our purpose.
What do you mean?
Did you not hear what I said?
You must make me the king.
Why do you want to take the throne?
I have always wished that our poor people...
would have enough to eat...
and live good lives.
Do you really need me to say such things?
You need to deeply care about your people!
I am...
going to become a king...
who is invincible.
And you can serve me.
Are you going to inform the King?
Will you tell him that you had once considered betraying him?
Or...
will you tell him that his son,
who should have died 20 years ago,
is still alive?
Will you make a tearful confession?
Let me answer your question...
about why I brought you here.
Come in.
While keeping my eyes on you, I had an unexpected gain.
When I heard that the Muweol Corps was sent to an island,
I wondered what there could be.
I found some people...
who had been in hiding for a very long time.
That was when I knew...
that the stories my father had told me...
were true.
Were you not curious?
Why do you think the King wanted to kill...
his own son and Jung Yun Jeo?
You are probably still alive...
since you were not curious about that.
Are you...
Had I been the son of the King,
I would not have felt wronged...
about having to live in hiding for all my life.
You must be Yun Jeo's son.
I will see to it...
that he becomes the king.
He is the only man who will bring back everything...
that I have lost.
All right, then. What do you say?
Usually, sharing such deep secrets...
would bring together the individuals involved.
- You cannot come in here. - No, it is okay.
I am allowed to do that.
What?
I can go wherever I please and kill whomever I want.
I am allowed to do that.
What do you mean?
I have finally found out...
whom you have feelings for.
Are you talking about that again?
I told you that it is not...
If that is true, will you be okay if I kill him?
I am going to leave soon.
I just used him.
I have always been sorry...
towards Lady Chun for taking me in.
But thanks to him, the burden I had was lifted.
You used him?
Yes.
Just like how you are being rude...
solely because you found out who I was,
I found his weakness and used it against him.
So do not assume such a ridiculous thing...
or make such heinous comments.
All right.
Leave this place and come to me. Then I will be...
No.
I do not want to hear it.
Please leave.
What? What is it?
Why did you accuse an innocent man of being a pervert?
Where and what were you doing after that?
Why did you come here?
- I do not want to talk about it. - What?
You said you would tell me everything.
I thought you were not interested.
You told me not to ask questions and to mind my own business.
On top of that, you are going to...
I am going to leave soon.
I just used him.
What were you going to say?
Forget it.
Finish your sentence.
Stop being so secretive and answer my question.
Why do I have to be the only one who tells you everything?
What about you? What is your story?
Why are you suddenly asking about me?
We are talking about you because you acted peculiar.
What does that have anything to do with you?
You little...
- What... - My goodness, that is enough.
My gosh. Seriously.
My goodness.
Are you guys kids?
Are you?
If you have something to argue about,
you should calmly talk about it like adults.
The day has just started, but you are ruining the mood.
What? Hey, Aeng Du.
Can you ask her where she is going without doing the dishes?
He wants to know where you are going.
I am going to earn money.
And tell him that it is his job to do the dishes.
She says it is your responsibility.
Do not go.
Do you...
Do you even know what kind of guy he is?
I live with you, but I do not even know who you are.
So how would I know anything about him?
Anyway, do not go.
Do not go.
Who are you to tell me what to do?
Me? I am...
your mother. I am your mother.
My gosh, tell him he must be very proud of himself.
You guys are driving me crazy.
You will not even let me eat in peace.
But you finished your meal.
You guys are so immature.
I cannot stand this childish act.
Hey, where are you going?
I am on my way to see Lord Yul Mu.
Why would you go there?
I need to eat lunch...
now that I have finished breakfast.
My gosh, come on.
Darn it!
Where is Lord Yul Mu?
He must not have come.
He goes to dozens of gisaeng houses.
This is good. I can use this chance to wash the dishes.
What about lunch?
What about my lunch?
He promised that he would cook flower pancakes for me.
He also said that he would take me on a picnic.
He told me that flower pancakes taste best...
when we eat it outside on a picnic.
He promised me.
My gosh, I will make it for you.
My goodness, are you sure you can make them taste good?
I am not confident.
How am I going to face His Majesty?
Just act normal.
He must be more suspicious now.
What should we do?
We are going to move the base for the Muweol Corps.
Tell everyone to stop going to Yeonhwa House,
and tell them they should also be careful not to get caught.
How about we just accept Grand Prince Neungyang's offer...
Everyone thinks it is a good alternative.
Prince Yeongchang is no longer alive.
So we must come up with a solution.
I will come up with another solution.
He can never be the next king.
Tomorrow,
The Muweol Corps will have to leave the village.
- What? - What?
Make sure you do not leave any traces behind.
And form a group of 3 to 4 people and leave the village after sunset.
Let us all meet at Aseowon in Hanyang.
Who gave us this order?
Is it Lord Heo's order?
Yes, I got a letter from him.
But did you forget what happened yesterday?
Does he have any power left in him at all?
Why is it that we always...
have to change the people we serve?
Lord Yul Mu...
I mean...
Grand Prince Neungyang has been planning everything all along.
Now that he has power,
we have no other choice.
If we refuse, everyone will be put in danger.
However,
he is also someone who can fulfill our wish.
The chancellor will soon come to an agreement with him,
so we are not betraying anyone.
We just need to trust both of them and follow their lead.
Neither of them seems any different.
I am going to meet Grand Prince Neungyang tomorrow...
and settle the situation.
But I also think it is right to move our base.
I will escort you to Hanyang.
I want you to stay here and help the others leave.
Meanwhile,
Lady Kim can stay with me.
Okay.
Are you really going to go?
We are talking about the chancellor and the King's cousin.
We should just stop here.
Let us go back to your father and...
And do what?
Are we going to hide in the mountains this time?
My goodness gracious.
A group of high officials gathered together to start a new world...
behind His Majesty's back.
Do you even know what that means?
A conspiracy.
You know that...
You know that and you are still willing to go? What is your plan?
They are already doing it,
so that means my dad is not guilty of treason.
I barely found their weakness by dressing up as a woman.
I should use it to my own advantage.
If things go bad,
I will just report those traitors to the police bureau.
My gosh.
I do not care if I have to kill them or not.
I am going to put an end to this.
Then we will no longer have to hide.
My father, brother,
and...
I am going to leave soon.
And...
Okay.
We will continue to live with you.
We will stop hiding.
Let us do that.
Okay, let us do that.
Yes, of course.
I will live with you and Aeng Du.
Yes, without a doubt.
You are unbelievable.
You are supposed to use glutinous rice powder water.
I cannot believe you threw the soaked rice cakes...
right into the pot of oil.
I thought it would be similar.
Frying things in oil are pretty much the same.
My gosh.
I am hungry.
Can you cook it for me?
I am busy. Forget it.
Lord Yul Mu would have made them for me.
That is enough. Let us get going soon.
- Go where? - Go where?
You said that you would make flower pancakes...
and go on a picnic with me.
When did I promise you that?
I told you that I am busy.
Lord Yul Mu would have...
Fine, let us go.
Eat up.
Are you protecting me?
Or are you keeping me locked in this room?
I am keeping you here so I can protect you.
I have no time to waste.
I need to find my sons.
I will ask my men to do their best...
to find your firstborn.
If they cannot find his body, that means he is hiding somewhere.
Please make sure that you find him for me.
As for His Majesty's son...
If I happen to find him...
We will go to Ming.
If you want us to go somewhere further away, we will do that.
We will go where you tell us to go.
You told me he grew up to be a smart and righteous man, right?
Maybe he could be my alternative.
What do you mean by that?
No, it is nothing.
I will find him.
I just need you to stay here quietly.
No one will get hurt, so do not worry.
Why are you wearing a man's outfit all of a sudden?
Why not? We climbed over the valley and are far from the house.
This is great. Look how handsome I look in this.
Here.
Handsome, my foot.
Forget it. You do not even know how to fish.
Look who is talking.
You have not caught a fish for an hour either.
So we should just head back.
Why did you drag me here?
Do you think I wanted to bring you here?
Had you not started cooking this flower pancake...
I said I would make pancakes.
I never talked about going on a picnic.
Anyway, this is all your fault.
You should not have gone to that kitchen, to begin with.
And why do you think I went...
And that jerk is the worst.
If he made a promise to her, he should keep his promise.
If he could not keep his promise, he should have not made it.
Goodness.
You two will end up getting attached to one another at this rate.
Why do you keep fighting?
This is not that big of a deal.
It is because he has a lot of secrets.
He said he would tell me, but he never did.
It is because I do not wish to lie to you. So what?
What?
I cannot tell you...
why I came here. Not now.
I will have to lie to you if I tell you why.
And I do not wish to do that. Happy now?
I am sorry to interrupt your serious conversation.
You need to turn the boat around.
Gosh, I can breathe again.
Well, can you look for a leaf?
Find a soft one for me. Okay?
Hey, hey.
What? Where are you going?
Hey.
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Hey.
Hey!
Hey.
Did you see that? I do not need that darn fishing rod to catch...
Darn it. Hey.
Hey, what is wrong with you?
Come on. Darn it.
