(This drama was remade based on historical facts.)
Enter the Crown Prince Palace?
Yes. I want to become a court lady.
Do you know what that means?
I do.
There are requirements to become a court lady.
And I don't have the qualifications.
That's not what I mean.
Then what do you mean?
Don't you know what a court maid does?
As a court maid, you have to serve your superiors and...
Of course.
I know that there's a lot of miscellaneous work.
- That's not what I mean. - I might work in the kitchen too.
That's not a problem either.
I'm a really good cook.
So,
let me enter the Crown Prince Palace.
I want to protect you no matter what.
Right.
You wouldn't understand me.
Pardon?
I'll tell you...
what it means to be a court maid.
That means...
this can happen.
And...
this.
And...
this...
can...
happen too.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Your Highness.
Do you understand now?
This is what it means...
to become a court maid.
Things like this can happen...
whether...
you like it or not.
So don't ever...
mention that nonsense again.
The Crown Prince is taking longer than expected.
I'll go bring him back.
No.
There's no need.
Let's go.
It took longer than planned.
You're back early.
What are you doing outside?
I came outside to say goodbye to His Highness, but I fell.
I couldn't even see him off.
Why did you come back so early?
Didn't you see him off?
He just insisted on leaving.
Goodness.
You still shouldn't have let Big brother leave alone.
Yeo Ji, you're too loosened up these days.
Do you understand now?
This is what it means...
to become a court maid.
Things like this can happen...
whether...
you like it or not.
This is the end of the patrol, but you don't need to check every day.
There's not even a single mouse once the sun goes down.
Oh, I see.
I'm only telling you this because today's your first day.
- We should slowly head back and... - Wait.
- Isn't that someone talking? - What?
Take this to him.
The patrol doesn't come this far,
so keep walking straight and do what I told you...
Hey!
You!
Who are you people?
Did you not hear the curfew bell?
(Curfew bell: A bell that used to notify the time of curfew)
Well, the thing is...
Do you have a pass? Show me your ID.
I ran a little late while trying to take my master back home.
Here you go. Sir.
Please turn a blind eye on this just this once.
You can use this to get yourself some drinks.
What are you doing?
Sir! Sir, look over here!
You got caught by the neighborhood patrol?
How could you do such a lousy job?
I'm so sorry.
Did you...
(Section Chief of Personnel)
Did you take care of it properly?
Yes, of course. However, I think you should ask...
the chief of police bureau for help just in case.
The chief of police bureau...
That greedy man will definitely ask for his share.
(Episode 12: A Criminal Transaction)
I guess this is what our people eat for breakfast.
They eat vegetable side dishes along with some raw rice wine.
This will be a good experience for the King and the Crown Prince.
(Queen Inwon)
The Chinkyeongrye is about to begin soon.
(Chinkyeongrye: The King setting an example by doing farm work)
I'm sorry to say this, Your Majesty.
But that's not how you do it. When you plant rice,
you need to arrange the ridge with your hands like this.
You're right.
I do it for every Chinkyeongrye, but I always forget that.
It's only natural for Your Majesty to not know about commoners' lives.
But someone is doing great despite his first try.
Have you done this all alone?
The plowing has been finished.
Can I start planting the rice now?
How are you so used to this?
I studied hard to do my part.
Would this be enough to be a farmer?
Inscrutable are Your Highness's favors.
Your Highness! Crown Prince!
It's okay.
Your Highness, there was something I couldn't tell you earlier.
You may speak.
Excuse me? Why are you doing this?
I have witnessed your kindness, Your Highness.
I thank you so much for hearing out...
the words of a mere farmer.
I always wanted to bow to you.
Look here. You should get up now.
Your Highness, I am sure that you will become...
a great king.
If nobody worked in those fields,
what will you eat and what will you wear?
He's right. That's right.
Who do you think...
relies on whom?
That's right.
I feel emotional no matter how many times I hear that.
Is that why you're crying when you're a man?
I never get tired of hearing that.
- I want to make this clear. - Right?
Yes, it's the same for me too.
If I, the Crown Prince, get the chance to sit on the throne,
I swear...
I'll make the owner of farming lands to pay taxes for their lands.
His Highness will become a great king.
- Long live the Crown Prince! - Long live the Crown Prince!
Long live the Crown Prince!
- Long live the Crown Prince! - Long live the Crown Prince!
(Saheonbu)
What is this situation?
How can the city still praise the Crown Prince?
They're rather criticizing Saheonbu for arresting him.
Even my own servants were whispering words about the Crown Prince.
But Saheonbu went against the Crown Prince.
Wouldn't there be an act of revenge?
I'm sure there will be consequences.
There will certainly be blood.
You're worrying about ridiculous things.
Who has control over Saheonbu's people?
The Crown Prince?
His Majesty?
No.
Remember why we execute the law...
without dealing with the consequences.
Nothing can shake up Saheonbu.
Isn't that what Saheonbu is?
When the world gets crazier,
it is our duty to guide the people to the right path.
That's why Saheonbu and inspectors exist.
Today, you should investigate the corruption of Prince Jang Young.
You, on the impeachment of the Vice Minister of Rites.
You should investigate the murder of the gatekeeper.
And...
You two should just fool around.
Please forgive me. I apologize, Team Leader.
I did not know my place and acted rude.
I shall do my best to follow your orders now.
Do you want me to bark like a dog?
You have no idea how good I am with such things.
Why are you doing this?
My goodness. We still have some cases left.
What? A widow won't hold a funeral for her dead husband?
This calls for a custom reformation.
I'm very good at such things.
(Custom reformation: Teaching social customs)
Let go of this!
Come on. I won't let go until you give me a case.
I'll do my best to follow your orders, Team Leader.
What's with you? Did you decide to change sides?
Yes. Surviving here is most important to me.
I shall gain power first.
I need to work on cases first if I want to get power.
And to work on cases,
I should even crawl through the Team Leader's legs if necessary.
Are you saying you won't stick out and wait for the right time?
You should gather colleagues who agree with our ideas.
I'm sure we're not the only people who think Saheonbu is doing wrong.
You're fast with learning things.
About Female Inspector Cheon...
Is something going on with her lately?
To Yeo Ji?
What is it about Yeo Ji?
Ah Bong, why is she like that?
She's strange, right? She didn't even have lunch today.
She skipped a meal?
- Yes. - Stop joking, you fool.
Gosh, I'm serious.
Ah Bong.
Come over here. I need a word with you.
- Me? - Yes.
Did I do something wrong?
- I don't know, but I'm sorry. - That's not it.
I have something to ask.
You should go.
Gosh, you could've joined me.
And...
this...
can...
happen too.
Your sighs might create a crater.
What is it?
What's making you sigh?
It's nothing.
I don't think it's nothing.
It's nothing important.
I did something I shouldn't have done to someone.
I was just thinking...
how I should take care of it.
What?
So you did something you shouldn't have, with a blushing face.
Did something finally happen?
What?
Is it really necessary to take care of it?
Your Highness, who's really shy deep inside.
There is no such thing as a forbidden love.
Love? What do you mean?
It's about Female Inspector Cheon, right?
How far did you take things with her?
Did you confess your love?
Or could it be...
Court Lady Heo.
Heo Cho Hong!
What?
Who did that to you?
I can't tell you who that was.
Well,
a man did that.
Are you saying...
- a man certainly... - Yes.
- did this? - Yes, like this.
Like this?
Yes, like this.
And he did this?
Yes. He did stop in the middle, but he certainly did that.
Ah Bong.
What does that mean?
Could it be...
Well, about this...
Is it something that happens between men and women?
(Love songs: A derogatory referring love songs about men and women)
Like men and women in love songs?
Cheon Yeo Ji.
Are you asking that because you really don't know?
You said that he grabbed you, pulled you, and stopped.
A man did that to you.
Then what would that mean?
Is it what I think it is, Ah Bong?
Is it...
what I think it is?
My gosh.
Well...
[VIU Ver] SBS E23 'Haechi' "A Criminal Transaction" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
You...
Dal Moon.
Are you Dal Moon?
You came so fast.
(Prince Mil Poong, Yi Tan)
I thought it'd take a while.
This is the man, Yoon Young.
The man who controls secret information within the city.
I heard you worked for Min Jin Heon.
I heard the fox got help from you.
That's a rumor.
How could a roughneck from the streets do that?
(Roughneck: A group of gangsters)
I see you want to negotiate the price.
You're here because you want to work for me, right?
I'm a royal and a generous man.
- I have more than enough money. - No.
I'm here because I don't want to be bothered by your men anymore.
Also,
I don't work with dogs like you,
Prince Mil Poong, who pretend to be human.
I have principles too.
What?
Dogs?
Stop sending your men.
I'm here to tell you that.
Hey, you little beggar.
How dare you?
What's the matter? Are you crazy?
You said you wanted to win him over.
Then why did you work for the Crown Prince?
It's because you had ambitions too.
You wanted to make riches and gain power, didn't you!
Stop, please.
There was a time...
when I wanted such things.
Because of a girl.
What is this punk saying?
Instead of the beggar-filled streets...
she wanted a higher position,
which I couldn't give her.
Yes.
Because of a girl.
Wait.
Stop there.
Did you know already?
Did you know I was here?
- Stop right there. - Get them.
- Get them! - Catch them!
Stop!
- Stop right there! - Stop!
Stop!
Bok Dan.
I'm Bok Dan.
You?
Dal...
Dal Moon.
You look nice.
You look good in it.
Silk clothes...
look good on you.
Why won't the wife have a funeral when her husband is dead?
Master, it must be there somewhere.
You told Yeo Ji to rest, right?
Yes.
She strained herself and she's not looking so good.
I heard she even skipped a meal today.
I bet it was a joke.
Master! Master!
Sorry, I'm late.
Hey, why are you being so late?
Yeo Ji kept asking...
obvious questions about men...
and I had to answer them.
She asked questions about men?
Yes.
That idiot is driving me nuts.
She's a complete fool.
Stop making excuses about being late.
- I'm serious. - Wait.
Ah Bong, did Yeo Ji...
No.
No, master. Move away.
- Excuse me. What's going on? - No way.
Over there. In there.
Kill me first.
You can bury him after you kill me.
Take her away.
- Yes, sir. - What's going on?
Are you from Saheonbu?
It's a custom reformation case.
What's her problem?
This is unjust.
My husband died unjustly.
He was killed.
What are you saying? Stop her.
- Yes, sir. - Stop.
- Let me listen to her. - Master.
Relax, I'm from Saheonbu.
What do you mean he was killed?
The police bureau tried to cover up the patrol's death?
It's a suspected murder but they made it out as an accident?
The dead man...
was a patrol who's been working for only six days.
The police bureau said he fell from a bridge late at night.
But...
he doesn't even have any bruises.
This isn't a body that fell.
Then why is...
the police bureau covering up the death of its own member?
Look at him handling the body.
He's a full-fledged inspector now.
Focus.
Can you help me with this?
Yes.
Three holes.
The trident the police bureau uses.
(Police Bureau)
I heard the Chief wanted to see me.
Come in. He's waiting.
You must know him.
This is Kwon Ik Soo, Section Chief of Personnel.
I do.
He's in charge of Saheonbu's personnel.
We met at a dinner party.
Yes, I remember.
How could I forget you?
Speak informally, Executive Inspector.
You're at a much higher rank than me.
Oh, okay.
Such a thing happened?
Section Chief of Personnel is in charge of important matters.
He's in charge of the three agencies' personnel.
(Three agencies: Saheonbu, Saganwon, Hongmoongwan)
It's natural that he takes care of personnel in different agencies.
Frankly, it's custom.
Refusing small gifts...
isn't polite either.
A few days ago, you were receiving a bribe...
and got caught by the police bureau's patrol?
If you leak this, you won't be safe either.
But this is illegal.
One of the patrols insisted on reporting what he saw,
so you made the other guy keep him quiet.
But that patrol who tried to report the incident ended up dying,
and his wife refused to hold a funeral,
and that's why this case ended up coming to the Saheonbu?
I did what I could to keep things quiet at the police bureau.
But one of your inspectors started stirring things up.
Please help me out, Executive Inspector Wi.
If this gets revealed, I'll be completely done for.
What's the name of the inspector?
Well...
Inspector Park Mun Su of the Saheonbu?
Do you know him?
We are friends...
who share the same thoughts.
It seems like Inspector Park is currently digging into...
the Section Chief of Personnel's illegal acts.
This information is from the Department of Justice.
What?
Mun Su...
is trying to investigate the Section Chief of Personnel?
Goodness, my legs.
Where are you off to in such a hurry?
Who are you?
Master Mun Su, I found it.
It was you, wasn't it?
You killed your fellow patrol with this, didn't you?
Tell me. Who ordered you to do this?
(Episode 24 will air shortly.)
You're the Team Leader. What were you doing?
How could you give that case to Park Mun Su?
I thought it would be a simple custom reformation.
She wasn't burying...
Do you know what you've done?
Kwon Ik Soo.
The Section Chief of Personnel is behind this.
Pardon?
What's going on?
Why are you digging around a case the police bureau already closed?
I did?
I was just inspecting...
Stop the investigation.
Right now.
Are you okay?
Oh, I'm okay.
What are you doing? Move aside.
It hurts a bit.
Anyway,
if this alleviates your anger,
can I continue the investigation?
You think you're all that, don't you?
The Executive Inspector tells you to stop.
Yes, I want to.
But the situation is a bit difficult, sir.
- Difficult? - Yes. I want to obey, but...
the suspect was arrested.
The man who killed the police bureau's patrolman, Ma Sang Tae.
And the man who hired him.
My men and I...
got all of them, and figured everything out.
This is the Section Chief of Personnel's butler.
I'll take him to the investigation room, sir.
Did you hear that?
This case started out as a custom reformation,
but turned into a corruption and murder case...
with Section Chief Kwon Ik Soo behind it.
Since I arrested him,
I can close the case, right?
You, Park Mun Su.
If Park Mun Su...
proves that the Section Chief is guilty, what happens?
It will be an opportunity for His Majesty.
The Section Chief of Personnel will be impeached...
and his position that's in charge of the three agencies can be replaced.
If this case becomes public,
Soron will be able to take that position.
But will Noron and Min Jin Heon...
easily give up the Section Chief position?
They monopolized it for a long time.
I may be presumptuous,
but may I tell you what I'm thinking?
This rare opportunity...
should be used to realize...
what His Majesty wants.
Did you deliver my letter right away?
Yes.
There he is, Your Highness.
The Crown Prince?
Can you...
do it?
Section Chief of Personnel?
How could I take such an important position?
Yoon Hyuk, Saheonbu inspector.
You're an able man who passed the exam first place...
and you're the son of a respected Noron family.
But you're not politically affiliated.
And you're not shaken by politics and fads.
That's why I recommended you.
(Recommend: Recommend a person of competence)
You belong to Noron,
but you're impartial and fair.
You'd be able to restrain Noron's resistance...
and bring about the reform His Majesty wants to achieve.
Are you saying you recommended me?
Of course,
it'll be a hard decision.
If you wield your sword as Section Chief of Personnel,
you'll be everyone's target.
But I believe you will help the King...
and fight against...
the three agencies' long-standing corruptions.
How far are you willing to go?
It will be harder for you and the King,
than it will be for me.
Even so,
if you promise you'll be with me until the end,
I will happily take the responsibility.
Inspector Yoon.
So your butler...
confessed his crimes to the Saheonbu.
I apologize, my lord. It's all my fault.
I can't do anything about the bribe,
but regarding the murder, even if my butler has to die...
- at least let me... - You had to preserve...
the Norons even if you had to die, not your men.
Bribery.
You couldn't do it secretly and made a mistake?
Do you know what you've done?
Soron will use this as pretext...
and try to take your position as section chief of personnel.
My lord.
I'll meet Chief Justice Jo Tae Koo and talk with Soron.
We can't let them take over.
Wait and see, Min Jin Heon.
You'll need me soon.
You're here.
Your Highness.
You're all here.
Is that true?
Inspector Yoon as Section Chief of Personnel?
The King will order it tomorrow.
Mun Su, you did a great job.
That incident...
made Noron have no choice, but to compromise.
I'm glad to have helped you.
That's great.
Inspector Yoon will handle it straightforwardly.
I trust him too.
Saheonbu's problems were related to the authority over personnel.
And the section chief of personnel had that authority.
That's why Noron kept that position.
Giving such authority to the section chief...
was originally to stop the higher-ups from interfering.
All systems end up revealing their weak spots.
Noron will go against this. Will you be okay with that?
I'll help His Majesty too, so you don't need to worry.
More importantly, could you watch Prince Mil Poong?
Prince Mil Poong?
He interrupted Mun Su and Yeo Ji.
He's not someone who would just sit back and watch.
Yes, Your Highness.
I'll continue to send news of the palace through Dal Moon.
Okay. Take care on your way back, Your Highness.
Okay, everyone.
Anyway,
I should get going now.
Your Highness. Just a moment.
I have something to speak with you in private.
- To me? - Yes.
Gosh. We should wrap this up and return to Saheonbu now.
Ah Bong.
The man that Yeo Ji asked you about...
Was it...
something about men and women holding hands...
and doing other things beyond that?
What? That's ridiculous.
How did you know that?
Did she ask you too?
Hey. What's wrong with you?
Why do you keep joking?
- I'm not. - So?
So what did Yeo Ji say?
And what did you say?
I'm sorry, Yeo Ji.
- That night, I... - Why did you do that?
What you did to me that night.
Is it really...
what I think it is?
Hey, Ah Bong. Tell us.
Seriously. What else? I just told her the truth.
The truth?
Cheon Yeo Ji.
Do you really not know?
If a man does that to a woman,
it only means one thing.
What did you just say?
Ah Bong told me...
there would be only one reason for men to act like that to me.
"Are you that strong?"
"How strong are you? Let's have a fight."
I was told that it must be something like that.
"Let's have a fight"?
A man...
grabbed Yeo Ji, pulled her, and stared into her eyes.
It's a psychological fight before a physical fight.
I agree with Ah Bong.
Right.
I think you're right, you morons.
Why did I even bother to ask you two?
A psychological fight?
Are you saying that my actions...
were to start a psychological fight?
But I had no idea about that...
and misunderstood.
I thought...
you had feelings for me.
- That's... - I know that's ridiculous.
That's why I was so confused.
However,
am I that unreliable?
Is that why you tried to check my skills?
That's not it, Yeo Ji. That's not what I meant.
I'm Cheon Yeo Ji, the human weapon.
I can really do well.
I want to become a court lady...
and protect you by your side.
It was a total waste.
You wouldn't understand it anyway.
What?
This was going to happen.
Why did I think about this so much spending sleepless nights?
You have enough skills.
But you still shouldn't work at the palace.
Women are supposed to be protected by men.
But I'm a female inspector before I'm a woman.
What if I'm a man before I'm a Crown Prince?
What?
Fine.
I think this is good too.
I like facing the same wind with you.
Even if you...
don't feel the same way I do.
[VIU Ver] SBS E24 'Haechi' "Prince Mil Poong’s Backfire" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
I'm sorry.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Your Highness...
Could it be that His Highness loves Yeo Ji?
More importantly, could you watch Prince Mil Poong?
Dal Moon.
Hey, Gun Tae.
- Release the men, and find... - Hold on.
Can we have a word?
You.
We have something to discuss.
Isn't that why you came here?
What are you doing?
How dare you come here?
- How could you... - You wanted to see me.
That's why you came to visit him.
Me?
I'm fine.
Just like you said, I'm having a good life.
Silk clothes and a big house. I...
never should have been born as a low life.
You haven't changed...
at all.
Go back.
If Prince Mil Poong finds out that you were here...
He knows that I'm here.
I told Prince Mil Poong...
that I'll bring you to him by persuading you.
- Yoon Bok Dan. - It's Cheon Yoon Young.
I'm Cheon Yoon Young now.
So...
I beg you to help Prince Mil Poong.
Help Prince Mil Poong become king.
Please stop.
How could you become this cruel?
How far are you willing to go?
Didn't you know?
I'm a bad wench.
You knew that too.
You saved me and protected me...
even when you knew how bad I was.
For those...
long 10 years.
If Prince Mil Poong fails to become king, I will also die.
So please...
help us, Dal Moon.
- Goodness, this is great. - Yes, it is.
- Let's drink. - Yes, cheers.
This is nice.
I want you to serve them the most expensive alcohol...
in this courtesan house nonstop.
They are my precious horses...
that will eventually escort me to the palace.
Who are those punks?
That's none of your business.
Just do what you're told to do.
Now, I want you to go...
and fetch me an aristocrat who's very talented at writing.
It's finally time...
for me to step up.
500 yang.
And no discounts whatsoever.
You are blinded by greed,
and that will make you end up in the fiery pit.
(Fiery pit: A place where someone ends up for having coveted wealth)
Goodness, you're here.
Are you all having a good time?
- Yes, of course. - Yes, we are.
Have a drink.
I can't believe Yoon Hyuk became the section chief of personnel!
I mean, how is that possible? How?
Executive Inspector Wi.
Yoon Hyuk is so stubborn and hard to convince!
He shouldn't have authority over the Saheonbu's personnel!
Please calm down.
It's just Yoon Hyuk.
"Just Yoon Hyuk"?
What about the King, the Crown Prince, and the Sorons?
They just declared war against the Saheonbu!
Yes, that's right! It's war!
They've had their eyes on us for a while,
and they've finally started a fight.
If you don't want to lose, you must stay alert.
Are the other government officials doing okay?
What should I do?
I should've been nicer to him.
Hey, was I that mean to him?
Yes, you were very mean to him.
This is driving me crazy.
How was I supposed to know that this was going to happen?
I never knew Yoon Hyuk would become the section chief of personnel.
Master Yoon Hyuk...
Hey, how's the atmosphere?
They're all really worried that they might get fired.
Gosh, we really have a lousy group of seniors.
They should've been this worried about our country.
Do you think this is going to change the Saheonbu?
If we fail to make the right move...
Yes, I know.
We'll suffer from a counterattack.
In order to win, we must stay strong and cooperate.
Okay?
Let's go.
How are things at the Saheonbu?
They're all very agitated.
And it's not just the inspectors.
The high-ranking officials are also feeling the same way.
Things are no different at the Saganwon.
People are all very confused.
How could someone like him get appointed to that position?
There are times when we have to lose.
And what's important right now is to minimize our damage.
Your Highness!
The prime minister and the minister of personnel are on their way here.
Did... Did you ask for us, Your Highness?
Welcome, Prime Minister.
Welcome, Minister of Personnel.
We haven't stayed very close until now, have we?
After all, you two are the ones that helped me become the Crown Prince.
- Pardon? - Pardon?
Let's go inside.
Yes, Your Highness.
What's gotten into him all of a sudden?
It's obviously because he needs power.
(Yi Yi Gyeom, Minister of Personnel, Noron)
Now that the war has started,
he needs as many people on his side as possible.
(Kim Chang Joong, Prime Minister, Noron)
The Prime Minister and the Minister of Personnel will stand on my side.
They already know that it's too late to go back.
The Sorons are also gathering together.
This kind of opportunity is very rare.
- Before they strike back... - Your Highness.
It's nice to see you here.
Ever since you entered the palace,
things have always been so chaotic.
Stability should be a top priority in political affairs.
That's probably the case for the ones who are scared of change.
If they're bound to lose something, that is.
It seems like you think you're different from others.
But in reality, being able to do what others do...
is already a great achievement itself.
You probably think of the Norons as a joke.
You're so determined to be different and not become like us.
I'm sure you're confident that you'll be different...
when it comes to politics too.
What exactly...
is your point?
Fools tend to believe...
that they can do something different compared to others.
Do you know why?
That's because their foolishness blinds them from acknowledging...
their competence and limit.
You must refrain from saying anything else.
How could you dare say such a thing to the Crown Prince?
No.
Do not get involved.
I want him to finish what he has to say.
- But Your Highness... - Please continue.
I just said...
I wish to hear your arrogant speech.
"You are a fool."
"You must know your place."
Is that your loyal advice to me,
the Crown Prince?
Of course not. I would never dare say that to you, Your Highness.
But if you will allow me,
I would like to say something that may sound a bit rude.
What makes you think the Sorons will be different?
You should just do what others do, Your Highness.
That in itself is already a great achievement.
"I should at least try to be as good as the Norons."
"That's more than enough to keep this country safe."
You will soon...
be able to realize that.
Your appeal...
is a work of art.
Your writing skills...
are amazing.
Prince Mil Poong is on the move. What should we do?
Chief Royal Secretary. Sir, you must see this.
What is it?
I think you should read it for yourself.
What is this?
How could anyone write something like this?
Does this man wish to get himself killed?
Chief Justice.
I need to read this letter of appeal to the King.
I knew something like this would happen one day.
As the Crown Prince started to gain more power,
I've always feared this would happen.
It seems like you think you're different from others.
"I should at least try to be as good as the Norons."
"That's more than enough to keep this country safe."
You will soon...
be able to realize that.
No, Min Jin Heon.
I will never become like you.
Your Highness.
Here you are.
Prince Mil Poong.
I came to see you, Your Highness.
But I looked for a while since you weren't at the Crown Prince Palace.
You're at a pavilion in the breeze.
Aren't you a bit too leisurely?
I don't have the time to listen...
to your babbling.
The position you and I are in...
is too different for that.
But...
it'll be better if you listen to...
what I have to say.
How can...
How can there be such a disastrous petition?
That's why I told you...
not to protect the Crown Prince.
It will eventually become a dagger and turn towards to you.
How...
How dare he govern vicariously, Your Majesty.
(Vicarious governing: The crown prince governing for the king)
You're still in your prime years, Your Majesty.
How could someone say something so disastrous,
asking to entrust the government to the Crown Prince Palace?
Backfire.
Soon there will be backfire...
in this palace...
that will blow you away.
What backfire?
Dal Moon, what should we...
Don't do anything.
Pardon?
Don't do anything.
What are you babbling, Yi Tan?
What...
are you...
(Haechi)
It's just a petition...
asking for vicarious governing.
That's why you must think...
- it's ridiculous that I'm king. - How can you...
You become blind once you're bound by desire and greed.
From this point on, I, Park Mun Su,
will investigate Executive Inspector Wi's corruption.
You have to punish them...
to prevent treachery.
Do as the order says.
Why does the Crown Prince have to...
Am I finally able to give you what you wanted?
Return His Majesty's heart.
