I'll keep the Jeonokseo gates unlocked
Escape with the other prisoners.
Your Majesty, one cannot call this a normal country.
The Patriarchs probably used this as an excuse...
to pressure the king to make him get rid of the head of Disciples.
Isn't all of this because he doesn't have an heir?
People think he's a powerless king.
It's time to decide on the next successor.
The Queen already started to search for the step-son.
I need an ally to become my team.
You planned this, didn't you?
But he probably didn't get back to you once he got out.
I will take care of...
You will have to take care of it well.
For both you and me to not put the Patriarchs in trouble.
I'll catch him for you.
send my message to Lord Min Jin Heon.
To come look for me before he gets into trouble.
It can't be.
It can't be this.
Prince Milpoong,
Are you trying to use the Queen...
and the Qing Dynasty...
to become the King's adopted son?
What a pity.
(Prince Yeoning, Lee Geum)
I didn't know you could make that kind of face.
Prince Yeoning.
(Min Jin Heon, Minister of Personnel, Patriarchs)
You must be frustrated.
You gave the throne to Prince Milpoong and took it back.
That's why I told you to come to me.
I already warned you.
What are you trying to say?
You're not here simply to boast about yourself.
Don't you need...
a prince?
Someone who can play king for you like a chess piece.
That kind of a prince.
Did you recommend Prince Milpoong as His Majesty's adopted son?
Have you lost your mind?
Did you forget what kind of person he is?
- Her Majesty. - I won't allow it.
I won't allow it even if I die.
(Queen Seonui)
Your Majesty.
My dance is better.
May I do a dance for you?
Will you do that for me?
It's an honor, Your Majesty.
Don't you need a prince?
What do you mean?
Isn't this just the start?
The successor to the throne.
Everyone is desperate to find one right now.
Are you saying you'll become the next king?
I may be of lowly blood but I'm still a prince.
You should've at least dreamt of becoming a king.
Wasn't it you who said that?
I decided to dream of that...
as you advised me.
Don't you think I would be a better chess piece...
than Prince Milpoong?
Prince Milpoong? What's going on?
Look there.
Isn't that Min Jin Heon...
and Prince Yeoning?
What are they...
(Lee Gwang Jwa, Vice Minister, Disciples)
doing together?
Prince Yeoning?
(Episode 6: An Unstable Alliance)
Tell me.
Who paid you to do this?
Hey, what are you?
We'll leave as soon as we're done. Don't bother us.
Has this girl lost her mind?
What are you looking at?
Why do men always need a beating to come back to their senses?
I really don't know.
I only did as told.
The money was really good.
How could you not know?
I lost my parents when I was little and my family gave up on me already.
So who paid you to watch me?
It's true.
I don't know because I was contacted through letters.
I was just asked if you were doing well with your studies...
- and if you passed the test. - What?
You did a background check on me too?
You pervert.
Did you say you were paid a lot?
- How much was it? - What?
Well...
Three...
to four times the normal price?
Hey, is the amount of money more important to you?
You're saying an anonymous person...
- paid a ridiculous price, right? - Master.
Master Moon Soo!
The list will be posted soon.
- At Wunjongga. - What?
Master Moon Soo.
Let's hurry. You don't have time for this.
Finally.
It's finally that day.
I didn't tell you since it might get your hopes up too much,
but I honestly think that I topped this test.
My answers were perfect.
Maybe that's it.
I dreamt of a dragon rising into the sky.
That's right.
What are you talking about? Passing the test first place?
It's a miracle if you pass it.
You jerk.
My blood, sweat, and tears.
You have no idea.
Stop blabbering. It's over there.
Let's go look.
Let's go.
Get out of the way!
Step back.
I'm sorry, my master is busy. Hurry up.
- This is embarrassing. - Okay.
Here we go.
What? What?
- It's not your name. - It's not?
- How could this be? - What did I tell you?
We should've checked from the bottom.
No, I'll be next on the list, okay?
I'm sure I'm first or second.
This is impossible.
This can't be.
I'm not third either.
I'm not here.
Forget it. Search below.
See if your name is below or above that.
- Hurry up. - Don't worry.
I'm sure your name is there, Master Moon Soo.
Master Moon Soo. It's over here.
Over there?
Is my name there?
No,
I was saying that it isn't here either.
- What? - What?
Don't fool around with me.
She's right.
There's Park Myeong Soo, but there's no Park Moon Soo.
Master Moon Soo.
This can't be.
It's impossible. I did so well.
Let's look again. I'm sure my name is there.
I'm sure my name is there.
- Just a moment. Please. - What is this?
Master Moon Soo, that's enough.
- Let's leave. - Let go of me!
Something is wrong.
I'm serious, Ah Bong.
Jang Dal, Yeo Ji, please.
My name has to be there. I'm serious this time.
Let's look just once more. Please.
(Saheonbu)
Hold on.
Who finished this case report?
I'm sorry, but what do you mean?
The corruption case from the Office of Royal Genealogy.
Who closed the investigation of this case?
- Cheating in the exam? - Yes.
Hey,
everyone does that.
Who's that clean?
Everyone buys a good spot...
and peeks at other people's answers.
I'm not talking about taking good spots or taking peeks.
The situation shows...
that this one is related to organized corruption.
Do you have any evidence?
That's...
There isn't any evidence yet.
You must be really bored.
What? Do you need more work? Should I give you more?
Team Leader,
this is more important.
Forget it! Close the case!
Hey.
If you're bored, take that and leave.
Take that and leave?
What?
I'm the team leader.
I understand. I'll get going.
That guy's face...
How can he scare me when he says he understands?
Team Leader!
My apologies, sir.
The corruption case from the Office of Royal Genealogy.
Did you close this investigation?
Did you really tell them that the case is closed?
Yes,
it was ordered by the Jipyeong,
so I specially took care of it quickly.
What's wrong with that?
Shut it.
Do you know what you did?
Who told you to close this case without my approval?
Who do you think you are?
What are you looking at?
Pick it up.
Do you remember?
You told me about the corruption of the royals.
The incident that was supposedly used to get into the Saheonbu.
I didn't come here for no reason.
I request an investigation for corruption in the royal family.
I thought it lightly since you said...
it was just a reason to excuse you.
But behind this case...
There was Prince Angye.
Being slow and naive,
Min Jin Heon wanted to make him the next king.
Seeing that you're here,
the Office of Royal Genealogy must be investigating him already.
(Prince Angye)
Quick! Move it!
Prince Angye.
Minister of Personnel.
He's still young and he took full advantage.
Aren't the royals incredible?
They may be stupid...
but they all know how to make corrupt money.
Were you after this from the start?
To get rid of Prince Angye whom Min Jin Heon supports as successor?
If not,
why do you think I'd join the boring Office of Royal Genealogy?
Why? What for?
Don't jump to conclusions.
You don't even...
have an idea yet.
Min Jin Heon won't allow this.
If he finds out you're involved,
Then you'll protect me, of course.
- My lord! - You ought to.
The prisoner from Jeonokseo.
He's still in my hands.
If you lose him now,
your position in relation to Min Jin Heon...
will get pretty difficult.
Isn't that true?
- This is it? - Up to here?
We're the customers.
Is this the only one?
- Next time. - Goodbye.
- Did the other customers leave? - Yes.
Yes, I've moved the Patriarchs to the inner courtyard as you said.
Prince Milpoong?
Why is that madman still alive...
and causing this disturbance?
That's not the only problem.
Prince Angye whom Minister of Personnel supported is in danger.
Why does Minister of Personnel do business like this?
How could I trust him if this is how he does things?
I see you're here.
I made you come a long way.
If you're at a courtesan house, you should call gisaeng.
You never call them...
and you make us go through all this trouble.
The Prime Minister can go home now.
Did you just...
tell me to go home?
Yes.
- Excuse me, Minister of Personnel. - Everyone else can go in.
Go ahead.
Are you in your right mind?
Now you're trying to exclude me?
Since you're the head of Patriarchs,
I tried to save your face. That means...
you should've known what your concubine...
is going around doing.
My concubine?
What did Yoon Yeong do?
Just go home and...
ask the girl who came up with the plan...
to support Prince Milpoong.
- Though she might not be there. - What?
Go on.
My lord.
I'll give you the opportunity.
Prince Milpoong?
He's...
a potential king...
and went for the throne.
(Potential king: period before one becomes king)
Did you forget all that?
How could I ever...
- forget that? - Then,
why is that?
- Why did Prince Milpoong... - We should get him.
If I have no power,
I'll take anyone's hand.
Whoever gives me the sword to fight against Patriarchs,
I'll take their hand...
however deep my resentment against them may be.
Prince Milpoong is back.
What do you mean dethrone Prince Angye?
Inspectors acquired information from Office of Royal Genealogy.
They didn't know the incident had links to...
Prince Angye.
What will happen if His Majesty adopts Prince Milpoong?
We don't even have an alternative.
We do have Prince Yeoning.
Who? Prince Yeoning?
Someone at the right age to be made successor...
Chief Inspector, are you kidding?
Prince Yeoning is from the peasant class.
Not all princes are the same.
How can aristocrats like us bow to a peasant's son?
I just said it...
without giving much thought.
Even if you didn't give much thought,
how could you even say that?
Who interfered with Prince Angye at this point?
Prince Milpoong?
If not him,
it can't be.
Don't you need a prince,
Minister of Personnel?
It can't be.
You want information?
Get me everything you can.
About Prince Milpoong? Yes, sir.
You want to hand the information over to Saheonbu, I presume.
But then...
why Prince Yeoning?
Isn't he the second son of the previous king?
He has no power.
Why do you want to strike him?
Does someone with your status have to know such details?
What did that son of a peasant do for the past year...
and what is he doing now?
Find out everything.
He might be even more dangerous...
than Prince Milpoong.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E11 'Haechi' "Wavering Alliance" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
My lord.
What are you doing?
There. He's coming.
My lord.
It's been a long while.
Well done.
You look much older.
An old man is going through trouble in this cold weather.
Not at all.
It's good there's something for me to do even at this age.
Where were you for more than a month's time?
Stay here for a moment.
Did you find what I lost?
Yes, my lord.
Do you want to see it?
I found the answer sheet you mentioned.
I found a witness, too.
What should I do?
Like last time, should I...
There's something you should do before that.
Lee Tan is back. He wants the throne.
- The Queen and Qing back him. - What?
Doesn't that mean things won't go as planned?
No.
He'll be helping me, Ja Dong.
Before the party I prepared begins,
Prince Milpoong will shake up...
the Patriarchs for me.
How long has it been?
About an hour.
How long will he do that?
What if his not so good brain...
gets even worse?
He failed for the 11th time. He won't be in his right mind.
Yeo Ji is even weirder.
Why is she playing to the beat? It's scary.
Boom, bap.
It can't be.
- Is it? - Perhaps.
It could be.
Yes, that's it.
Why didn't I think of that?
I need to be somewhere.
I need to go, too.
Where? Master Moon Soo!
Yeo Ji. Hey.
Hey, it's you.
Sir.
I was looking for you for work. It's good you're here.
You'll get paid a lot this time as well.
- Let's go inside. - Sir.
I have something to tell you.
Pardon me.
It's okay.
You picked it up first, so you should take it.
One yang, please.
Have a good day.
They approached me again.
- Show me. - Yes, sir.
Here you go.
They gave you another book...
- with an unidentified author? - Yes.
They just asked me to sell the book.
Master.
The source delivered information again.
Who is it?
Did you find out this time?
It seems like he is a very careful person.
It's either that, or he can't trust me yet.
Who could it be?
He's reporting the irregularities regarding the civil service exam.
But he's hiding his identity.
He's probably an insider...
who feels at risk for doing this.
But he still needs to reveal his identity.
We need to know who he is even if we don't report it to our superiors.
Right now, the Saheonbu is more of a problem than this source.
I was told to stop investigating the exam cheating case.
What?
Hey!
Move! Move.
What's going on?
Some crazy guy is throwing a fit in front of the Sugwonso.
(Sugwonso: A place where the answer sheets were being kept)
The Sugwonso is where they keep the answer sheets for the exam.
Why there?
(Seogwon: answer submitted by the exam taker)
Let's go.
Get out of my way! Show me the answer sheets!
What do you think you're doing right now?
All the answer sheets of the test takers are kept here.
If you're so confident, show me the papers.
If you show me the answer sheets of the people who passed,
I will accept the fact that I failed the test.
Hey,
you're not the only one.
You should blame yourself.
Why come here and cause a fuss?
I used to do that.
I used to blame my incompetence.
But...
not this time.
I studied like crazy with this...
incompetent brain of mine.
If I failed the test, that means someone cheated.
Somebody is taking advantage of people's legitimate efforts!
When is the police coming?
- Out of the way! - They're coming.
- Please move! - He's right here! Hurry!
Over here!
Is he the person who's causing a ruckus?
He's a complete lunatic.
No!
I will not budge until you show me there weren't any...
irregularities.
- Drag him away. - Yes, sir.
I told you I won't budge until I see for myself.
How dare you...
You want to drag me away?
Fine.
Go ahead and try.
I'll show you what happens when I stop being patient...
and start using violence.
- What are you doing? Hurry up! - Yes, sir.
Leave him be.
I know this person.
You're Inspector Yoon from the Saheonbu.
What are you doing here?
So that's who he was.
He's the person who declined the good seat at the exam site.
Do you know me?
You're an inspector at the Saheonbu?
My name is Yoon Hyuk.
Are you okay?
That's...
Master Moon Soo.
Why are those two...
What did you say?
Moon Soo knows Inspector Yoon?
I'm not sure of the details,
but it definitely seemed like Inspector Yoon knew Master Moon Soo.
I wonder what's going on?
Prince Yeoning, if that's the case,
why don't you inform Master Moon Soo and Yeo Ji about this?
If you can get them to help you,
- you can... - No.
You know that what I'm about to do is very dangerous.
Moon Soo failed the exam, Ja Dong.
No matter how hard he tried,
he couldn't overcome the deep corruptions surrounding the exam.
But Moon Soo will get another chance...
just like she opened up...
a path for me.
But until then,
I need to take care of this on my own.
What?
The female inspector said she's going to quit?
Why?
I asked her why but she wouldn't tell me.
She just kept saying she's going to quit.
Gosh, why all of a sudden?
Where else can she make such easy money?
Exactly.
You gave me enough money...
so I could pay her three, four times more...
even when the food she made was completely inedible.
I had a hunch and it was correct.
Oh, you're...
What are you doing here?
We've met before, haven't we?
And this is Prince Yeoning's house if I remember correctly.
Oh, well...
You're right.
What's going on?
Did Prince Yeoning tell you to do this?
You drink very well.
You're the kind of person I like.
Do you want some?
Yes, of course. I'm a bit of a drinker, too.
I used to sell alcohol.
Oh, I see.
You're not surprised?
I used to sell alcohol.
What's surprising about that?
Now I see.
No wonder he...
He?
You mean Prince Yeoning?
That's what you want to know, right?
Yes, it was Prince Yeoning.
He asked me to do this.
He told me not to give you hard work and to pay you well...
since you'll need to earn a living.
Then...
was he also the one who tried to help Master Moon Soo?
I'm not sure about the aristocrat.
But the Prince Yeoning I know would have...
surely helped him.
Why?
Is it because of his conscience?
Or is he trying to get rid of his guilt for betraying us?
Perhaps, if you're resentful about it.
It'll seem different if you look at his real intentions.
What intention?
What are you talking about?
Be a bit more clear, please.
Gosh, that will be no fun.
I heard you used to be a competent female inspector.
Find out for yourself.
Hey.
You can't just leave like this.
I'm not sure about this,
but I think Prince Yeoning is trying to do something dangerous.
Something he has to risk his life for.
Something difficult.
There's a limit to what I can do.
But you and that aristocrat named Park Moon Soo...
might be able to help him.
And I think you'll be able...
to see his true intentions.
Please make sure Yeo Ji doesn't suffer.
She behaves and talks differently...
compared to other women.
So it'll be hard for her to get by.
Why don't you meet her and resolve the misunderstanding?
It seemed like she resents you.
Seeing each other will only...
hurt us even more.
Then just forget about her.
Ignore her and it'll ease the pain.
I want to.
But I can't stop thinking about her.
I want to forget her.
I really do.
I'm jealous.
He actually...
thinks about you.
With me,
he only feels pity.
(Episode 12 will air shortly.)
Move faster!
You'll be eaten up by a tiger.
Joseon is well known for a tiger.
You should have its fur.
How thoughtful you are.
Here.
Take this.
You're telling me to catch it?
While I catch the tiger,
you can try the deer.
No thanks. I'm good.
I just want you to have a good time.
Giddy up!
He's loving it.
Sure he does.
Look at that!
Good thing I brought him here.
Let's go.
It's there!
There is one!
Pull the trigger.
Now!
I've never done this before.
Hurry.
It will get away!
Hurry.
Hand me over.
Give it to me.
My lord!
Are you okay, my lord?
I guess so.
Luckily.
What...
Why are you here?
Just to be sure, let me get you a doctor.
Bring the doctor here!
Thank you.
By the way,
who are you?
My lord. He's...
he is...
no one.
I'm Prince Yeoning, the second son...
of the late King.
I apologize for the late greeting.
Oh.
I remember. The late King of Joseon...
did have his second son.
By the way,
how can you speak Qing language?
What are you up to?
Why did you come here?
I'm working for Office of Royal Genealogy.
It's my job.
When did you learn the Qing language?
What did you tell him?
You can't speak Qing even when you lived there?
You must be really stupid.
I just learned it last night.
This isn't your place.
You're not the type who would step up.
The throne.
What if I wish...
to become the king like you?
King?
Why?
If someone like you can try, why couldn't I?
You're insane.
You don't even have one supporter.
I'll get the real owner...
of this nation.
What are you talking about?
You think...
Patriarchs will support you?
That's nonsense.
How?
I'll bring you down first,
Prince Milpoong.
Stop what you're doing.
By now,
Saheonbu will be investigating on you.
From this moment,
focus on Prince Milpoong's case.
Allocate all manpower on this investigation.
- Yes, my lord! - Yes, my lord!
Find out every corruption of Prince Milpoong!
Even the minor ones!
If you miss one charge,
you'll be charged for that.
You should risk your life!
- Yes, my lord! - Yes, my lord!
Min Jin Heon won't just leave you, Tan.
What is this about?
We'll have to check a room used by Choi Yoon Yeong.
I already told you that she no longer lives here.
I'm sorry.
It's an order from Saheonbu.
Please cooperate with us, my lord.
- Start the search! - Yes!
You rascals!
Yoon Yeong!
Min Jin Heon is...
using Saheonbu to come after you.
What?
That old rat!
Calm down.
The king will have to make a decision soon.
How would I stay calm?
Even...
Prince Yeoning is acting up.
Why would he?
For what?
But that's not all.
It's only the beginning,
Tan.
My lord.
How's Saheonbu?
Like you said, they're going after Prince Milpoong.
He'll try to keep him down by Saheonbu.
I provoked Prince Milpoong.
Will he move as we planned?
I hope so.
Send a message to Inspector Wi.
Tell him that I'll hand him over the prisoner tonight.
Yes, my lord.
This is another route...
of Prince Milpoong.
Take note of it.
Since Saheonbu is also working on it,
he won't get away from this.
How about that...
corruption case?
- Pardon? - According to Saheonbu Chief,
you're the one who opened the case.
My apologies.
That case was referred from Office of Royal Genealogy.
Inspector further investigated on it without knowing the inside story.
Is that all?
Of course, my lord.
How about that escaped prisoner?
We can't leave a minor trail...
- in this moment. - Sure.
He'll be handed over to us today.
Please don't worry.
Send this to the bureau.
I need to stop by somewhere.
Yes, my lord.
He's the one you were talking about.
Thank you.
May I...
ask what you're planning to do?
Why?
Did Min Jin Heon tell you to investigate on me?
If you wish to know,
Goon Tae must know well about what I've been doing.
Ask him.
I...
don't work carelessly.
I know.
I'm doing my job,
and you're doing yours.
And someday,
I hope we'll work for the same thing.
Should we...
really investigate on Prince Yeoning?
Still...
Everything about him.
Anything suspicious.
Your Highness!
This way!
Sorry I'm late.
You can check.
He's the one.
I didn't expect you to bring him alive.
To check the identity.
If you wish, I can finish him here.
Who are they?
I have no idea.
I'll buy some time.
Take him with you.
Hurry!
Who are you?
Attack!
There must be more.
Where is Tan?
That's right, Tan.
You should have him.
This is a bait for you,
not for Wi Byeong Joo.
Yeo Ji.
Let's finish them first.
How dare you!
Leave them.
They're not the target.
But...
You don't have to risk yourself for me.
By the way,
how did you...
I followed after you.
What?
I wanted to know the truth.
I wanted to know more about you,
but there was no other way.
What happened?
My lord.
Leave us alone.
What happened to the prisoner?
They took him.
- Prince Milpoong took him. - What?
(The prisoner from Jeonokseo is in my hands)
Prince Milpoong.
The bastard.
You met Cho Hee?
I won't beat around the bush.
I'm not good at it.
What are you trying to do?
It's none of your business.
What are you...
risking your life for?
You knew that...
Prince Milpoong's soldiers were following you.
Why would you...
let them take the prisoner?
What are you trying to do?
How did you know that?
Is it related to the incident...
that happened to us last year?
If it is, I should know about this too.
If I misunderstood you,
if we're...
still on the same road.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E12 'Haechi' "The Civil Service Exam" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Jamojeonga: pawn shop)
Welcome back.
Hurry!
Hurry up!
Pay me more!
I worked hard to find this out!
Oh my...
Brother!
Bring me some more.
Then I'll pay you more. Okay?
What brings you here?
Prince Milpoong...
took over the guy from Prince Yeoning?
What happened?
There were outnumbered.
Prince Yeoning didn't know that he was being followed.
No way.
Pardon?
Prince Yeoning is not an easy one.
If they got the guy,
they didn't steal him.
Prince Yeoning let them.
Why?
That would benefit Prince Milpoong.
If something benefits Prince Milpoong,
it'll be opposite to the Patriarchs.
And...
to Min Jin Heon, too.
During last year,
what did Prince Yeoning ask you to do?
Well, nothing in particular.
It was mostly about the examination.
Examination?
To help Park Moon Soo.
That's all I know.
What are you asking?
What kind of person am I?
I already told you last time.
I'm...
Yoon Hyeok, the Inspector of Saheonbu.
You're investigating on the exam corruption.
You even apologized to me...
because you couldn't investigate further.
Oh, you're that guy.
Do you know me?
Inspector of Saheonbu?
I'm Yoon Hyeok.
Did you get hurt?
With this investigation...
we'll be able to reveal the corruption.
I'm just one powerless inspector.
I'm sorry.
How could one...
call the inspector of Saheonbu...
a Haechi?
I used to know the Saheonbu inspector who thinks just like you.
So I wanted to know.
If you'll go after the truth,
like the one I knew.
What if...
I'm like that?
I'll risk my life to publicize this issue.
To make Saheonbu investigate on this.
Will you become a Haechi...
and unearth the truth?
Please answer me!
Will you endure until the last moment?
Hey,
go stop him.
That'll get him killed.
You now how stubborn he is!
He won't listen to me.
Yeo Ji.
What took you so long? We've been waiting.
Why?
You...
should stop Lord Moon Soo.
Even by force.
To denounce previous corruptions on exams,
he'll appeal to the king.
He'll stop the king's parade today,
and make the scene to appeal!
(Appeal: citizen's complaint about injustice to the king.)
Appeal?
That might...
get him killed!
- Yes. - That's right. He'll die.
My lord.
You're back.
Good thing I saw your face...
before I leave.
Will you...
really do the appeal?
I met an inspector of Saheonbu.
Although he wanted, he couldn't investigate.
Officials were against him.
Is that why you'll appeal?
Risking your own life?
Yeo Ji.
If I denounce this officially,
and get His Majesty's royal permission...
then no one can't stop the investigation.
They have no excuse.
I'll come back. So don't worry.
You know,
I take blows well.
Wait.
Are you talking about...
Yoon Hyeok, the inspector of Saheonbu?
How do you know?
Then there's something you should know.
What you're about to do...
and how everything started.
Where it is heading to...
and who is behind all that.
Hurry up.
- Yes, we'll do. - Yes, we'll do.
And the testimony?
I'll pass it to Saheonbu on time.
(Jinsi: between seven to nine in the morning)
Then...
I'll have to wait for Tan to shake up the Patriarchs.
A cracked vase...
will break more easily.
The prisoner...
is in Prince Milpoong's hands?
He was after the investigator...
to hold a sword over us.
Wasn't it to get rid of the Disciples?
What happens if Prince Milpoong hands him over to His Majesty?
No.
He'll come to us.
He knows...
who really owns the power.
He's making us wait.
This is so rude!
They must have things to discuss.
Why don't you go in, Prime Minister?
Stopping investigation on Prince Milpoong?
What'd be the reason?
He never listens to me.
Is it...
to enthrone Prince Milpoong again?
No way.
Minister of Personnel and Prince Milpoong are against each other.
Minister of Personnel!
Why is he the one choosing whom to enthrone?
Even with that Prince Milpoong,
he never made a right choice!
You're saying a bit too much, Prime Minister.
Too much?
I'm only saying the truth.
Oh no.
You're arguing!
It's really hilarious to watch!
That wench!
My lord.
Long time no see.
You little rascal!
How dare you!
Go back and wait for further instruction.
What a mess, Minister of Personnel!
It must be because of...
the weakness of Patriarchs in my hands.
The weakness?
What is he talking about?
Minister!
What's in his hands?
Saheonbu is acting weird?
Yes, Your Majesty.
They suddenly stopped investigating...
on Prince Milpoong this morning.
Why is that so?
All of a sudden?
That is...
Saheonbu's decision.
It's time for the parade.
We should go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Do you know...
what he's thinking?
Let's go.
It's sound of a gong.
Someone must be up for appeal.
How dare he stops the parade.
Royal army will take care of it. So don't worry, Your Majesty.
(Royal army: King's army)
Your Majesty!
There's something I need to say!
Please listen to me!
Pull him out!
- Yes, my lord! - Yes, my lord!
Let me go!
Let go of me!
There's something I need to say.
About...
the nation's long corruption and graft!
Let go of me!
Seize him! Take him away!
No!
Your Majesty!
Please listen to me.
Stop!
Prince Yeoning...
Moon Soo.
Are you okay?
It was true.
What...
Yeo Ji told me...
My lord,
why would you...
Step aside.
No one...
is allowed to touch this man.
My apologies, but I can't.
Appeal...
should be governed by national law.
What if...
I grant...
the appeal?
Your Majesty.
What if...
I'd like to listen to his appeal?
I'd like to hear...
the nation's old corruption...
he's been talking about.
It's simple.
Enthrone me.
Then I'll get rid of...
that prisoner without leaving a trail.
As usual, you're substandard.
You think such thing will pull down the Patriarchs?
It won't.
You could cut off the trail.
But...
it'll make you look miserable.
Patriarchs were going crazy.
They won't listen to you anymore.
Watch your mouth.
Why would I?
I've been waiting for this moment.
So,
unless you want to be ousted,
convince Patriarchs and enthrone me.
Then I...
will let you live.
My lord.
We're in trouble.
I got a message from Saheonbu.
Saheonbu...
In Saheonbu...
Let's head back.
I should return to the palace immediately.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You can't.
You're not allowed to come in.
Patriarchs cheated on the exam?
Nonsense!
Stop this ridiculous investigation!
You...
really...
did it.
Yes, Your Majesty.
As...
I promised you, Your Majesty.
That can't be, my lord.
This is Saheonbu.
With no interference nor pressure,
only the law governs the crime.
Is he...
starting a fight?
Now, Patriarchs will...
be shaken...
and fall apart.
(Haechi)
I'm so glad to be here.
How Patriarch...
ruined the exam that should be fair.
Is he starting it?
The real fight?
You'll regret this.
I'll become the king.
You won't be the king.
But stand on people's side.
Prince Yeoning is acting.
What will you do?
Don't you really know...
Prince Yeoning's plan?
King material, king material!
If one becomes a king, that's king material.
Who are you?
Yeo Ji.
Who are you?
