Hey! Hey, Yi Dae Yeop.
Hey! Pay attention.
Yi Dae Yeop!
Are you alright?
What happened?
We were captured again. That's not the problem right now.
The secret letter that you had, those men took it.
It looks like we will both be dead like this. So about your father,
You must not open your mouth about him, okay?
You can use me to get yourself out of here.
Pay close attention.
This... Carefully, carefully wash this.
Ah, this... scrub, scrub!
You have to scrub hard to wash it.
Ah, this is underwear, so...
Boil those separately and wash it.
I will do it. Please move aside.
You, go throw this away.
Even if we don't tell you, you should wash this cleanly every morning.
What are you going to do if I glare at you? What are you going to do?
I will do it! Please go inside, hurry!
Hey! I told you to throw that away, but why do you keep meddle in our business?!
When you are a servant, so rude!
Are you okay?
She won't die!
This arrogant wench, who doesn't know how to serve her owner, won't die.
Go and do the laundry!
Why are you doing this?
It doesn't matter that you are retaliating because you hate me, but what fault does she have?
You didn't see it? Whenever she sees me, she's glaring and trying to come at me?
If you feel that falsely accused, instead of that concubine,
Why don't you be the servant of a mistress like me?
You are acting exactly how you look.
Please stop. It's time that mother returns.
What if she returns? What if I asked her to do the laundry?
What is wrong about teaching the servant?
You said that you have served as a servant for several years.
If that's really the case, a servant is also a person. A servant can also cry.
The fact that a servant can also wriggle if it's stepped on,
Shouldn't you know that better than anyone else?
Let's go.
Why are you like that?
Ahjasshi... about that mistress,
Do you know where and how she lived?
Why? Are you jealous because she's radiating joy differently from someone else?
That's... not it. Since I'm still above her, I was wondering because I feel like I should know.
I don't know the details either... They say that she was a servant for many years at the royal clansman's house.
I'm sorry. You are always suffering because of me.
Does it compare to the suffering that you endure?
Thinking about that makes me cry.
Please forgive me.
No.
From now on, if you want to cry, don't hold it and just cry.
If you get hwa-byung (disorder caused by pent up anger), isn't that a bigger issue?
Don't worry about it. I have no bounds.
Then, that's fine.
Ah, right! Last night, I had a very unbelievable dream.
You might perhaps have good news.
I wish your dream was correct.
Exactly what is your identity
that you are wearing the Ming Dynasty miltary uniform and possess the secret letter that Left State Councilor Yi I Cheom sent to Mao Wenlong?
If you tell me the truth, I will save you.
- I... - Quiet! Don't you know that you will die if you speak?
I... am Joseon's Left State Councilor Yi I Cheom's son.
If this man is really Yi I Cheom's son, he has no reason to fight with Ming Dynasty's soldiers.
He obtained that secret letter coincidentally.
This man is Kim Dae Seok that is written in the secret letter.
He has no relations with Mao Wenlong. So kill me and release him.
Yi Dae Yeop!
Don't forget my words.
Since you must be thirsty, drink water first.
Exactly who are you?
My name is Kang Hong Rip. I'm a general that's been captured while having a battle in Manchu (later Jin) and Sarhu (later Ming).
You probably heard my name.
Lord Commander in Chief. How come you are here?
- Then, this place... - You are right.
This is Manchu's leader Amin's camp.
Seeing that you were fighting in the Ming Dynasty solider uniform, I brought you here that I might find something out.
But a secret letter for Mao Wenlong had to be found with the man outside.
If that secret letter is delivered, Joseon and Ming Dynasty will partner together.
For Manchu, who's been trying to keep Joseon out of this battle, that should not happen.
I don't know about you, but the man outside will surely die.
No! We must block it.
If you kill the man outside, the political officials would be in favor of supporting the Ming Dynasty.
As you know, the Left State Councillor is a powerful man that has a tremendous influence on the political force.
We must do everything to block it.
Knowing that the Left State Councilor sent a secret message to have you killed,
You still want to save his son?
It seems that Joseon is still corrupt.
Even though they are faced head on with the dangers of war, they are still having disputes about authority.
I am ashamed.
It's not something you should be ashamed of.
Take a rest. I will put a word with General Amin.
Thank you.
This is also not something that you should be thankful for.
Whatever we do, shouldn't we at least block a war from happening?
How is it? Is the injury bearable?
I will do whatever it takes to save you. So your lifeline...
hold closely onto it, alright?
The King has no intentions on intervening in the war between Ming and Later Jin Dynasty.
That's why he persuaded Mao Wenlong and sent him to an island.
If you stay encamp at the border like you are doing now,
Their demand will only get more stronger. It won't be of any help.
We don't have any intentions of fighting with Joseon. Instead, we want Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong is just all talk. He doesn't have the ability or strength to fight with you.
If he really wanted to fight with you, then why would he have hid in the island?
Then, what is this secret letter about?
- That letter is evidence that Joseon doesn't want to fight with Later Jin. - Explain that carefully.
Since our king is opposed to the idea of sending military resources to Mao Wenlong,
the Left State Councillor, the leader of those in favor of the idea sent that secret letter.
Please release the Left State Councilor's son.
If you kill him, the Left State Councilor has the justifications to help Mao Wenlong.
Then, what will Joseon give over?
If I were to add to that... General Amin is Later Jin King Nurhachi's nephew.
If you can persuade General Amin, you can stop the war.
Since you want Mao Wenlong, I will make sure that he won't escape the island.
You shouldn't say anything that you can't take responsibility for.
If you break the promise, you can create a bigger anger.
The promise will be kept by the Left State Councilor, not me.
Instead, General Amin has a request.
Get up. There you go.
This is Lord Commander in Chief.
You've been through a lot. I will excuse myself briefly.
What is going on? Why did they suddenly release us?
I played some tricks in order to survive.
I'm sure you don't want Joseon to become a battlefield again, either.
Our lives were spared thanks to you. I am grateful.
I will send along the promised horses and furs via the Uiju General.
Whether there will be another war in Joseon or not rests upon your shoulders.
- We will make sure to prevent that. - I will trust you.
Please stay safe.
Thank you. Go safely.
What?
I have no idea why the barbarians sent them to bring a gift.
I better enter the palace immediately.
You've come? I heard. You've been through a lot.
We were able to return alive thanks to you, Lord.
You must have had many hardships due to us.
No. As you know, I have my own opinions when it comes to protecting my own life. Go on in.
Do you have any methods for preventing Mao Wenlong from leaving Ga Island?
We decided to threaten him that the Jin State is on the verge of invadaing Ga Island.
Your Majesty, please send a letter to Mao Wenlong
and tell him that we will persuade the Jin State to retreat, in exchange for a promise for him to never to leave Ga Island.
Extracting promises from both sides by bluffing?
Although we may take care of Mao Wenlong that way
would Amin really order his troops to retreat as promised?
The Jin State army does not have the ability to cross the ocean to attack Ga Island.
They struggled against Mao Wenlong's army
so they don't have anything to gain by breaking the promise they made with Joseon.
Your words are true.
I pushed you into a deadly situation to die, and you've returned after having accomplished a great deed for our country.
What award would be suitable for him?
Since it's an accomplishment that we cannot make public
material reward would be appropriate, I think.
Do that.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Left State Councillor is here.
Ask him in.
Your Majesty, Kim Dae Seok and Yi Dae Yeop
must immediately be returned to Mao Wenlong.
That is impossible.
Your Majesty, if only just to receive a military command against Joseon
he is sure to tell the Emperor about what these two men did.
If so, the Ming Empire
is sure to make greater demands of Joseon.
Please heed my words.
I intended to just that, but something happened, and I can no longer do that.
I never even suspected that you were communicating with Amin of the Jin State.
What are you saying?
Amin had these two bring me this letter.
Please read it.
Addressed to Joseon's Left State Councillor.
I received well the letter you sent. As you proposed,
if you prevent Mao Wenlong from leaving Ga Island, I will command my troops to retreat.
However, if in the future,
you break your promise to help the Ming Empire,
that will only mean war. Please heed my words.
So how long have you been communicating with the barbarians?
This is entrapment. I have never communicated with the barbarians.
I am not blaming you. I intend to praise you.
Your Majesty, I will swear upon the Heavens—
You deny it, but there is such clear evidence.
I'm not sure that the public will believe you.
As for Mao Wenlong, you could give him provisions or persuade him,
you can take care of him however you want to, I suppose.
I apologize, Father.
I suppose this is all your tricks?
I already told you, my main talent is not tricks.
You know, that tiger-hunting soldier who shot me with a rifle?
He asked me to send you his regards.
So you really want to die, don't you?
It appears that everything worked out well, so I don't know why you are so angry, Lord.
You weren't really hoping that your son would die in the northern frontier, were you?
And didn't Westerners always want to fight barbarians by helping the Ming Empire?
Why did you change your mind now?
We can't fight the Jurchens now, with the state that Joseon is in recently.
I'm not saying that we should never fight them, but to live to fight in the future.
Is that just your intention? Or the intentions of all Westerners?
Not all Westerners think the same way.
Are all Westerners aware of your differing thoughts, I wonder?
To simply obey the leader's command
and speak the same like parrots, isn't that harmful to the faction?
Of course, since you are the leader,
such harm would be of benefit to you.
Follow me.
I can't be sure he will be all right.
Are you leaving the royal court now?
Yes.
Do you having something to say to me?
His Majesty is looking for you.
Weren't you resentful?
Since you are not responding, it appears that you are resentful.
No, Your Majesty.
Are you truly not resentful?
Maybe since I'm a king who abandoned his own daughter, the princess,
maybe you suspected that I would naturally abandon you anyway, so it's useless to be resentful?
You are immeasurable, Your Majesty.
Is Kang Hong Lib doing well?
Yes, he is safe due to your concern, Your Majesty.
I'm sure he looks that way on the outside.
It's been over four years since he was taken prisoner by the Jin State.
He doesn't even know when he might be released
so his heart must have rotted into a black hole.
If he obeyed my command and died while fighting until the end without surrendering
then he would have been called a hero and brought glory to his family name.
I had no choice but to send my subjects to their deaths.
That is what a king must do.
What would you have done?
Will you not respond to this question, also?
I won't blame you, no matter what you say.
So respond.
Your Majesty,
I am a small-minded man,
so rather than the stability of the country, or the greater cause,
what is mine,
and my people are more precious to me.
If I can't even protect my own family,
what use would I be as a king?
If it were me,
I would immediately give my throne to the person I hate most,
and run away, I think.
Why would you give it to the person you hate most, of all people?
You want to give an extra piece of cake to the person you hate?
Why would I do that?
To give cake to someone you hate means you want him to choke on it and die.
But rather than that,
"Why don't you get screwed, too?"
That's what I would mean.
He should live a long life,
and experience getting screwed, too, shouldn't he?
What is so great about being a king?
You have to wake up at dawn and greet the ancestors,
and unable to rest until late into the night.
Trapped in this palace for your whole life
unable to see the sights outside,
and at all hours of the day,
"You can't do that." or "Please heed my words."
Don't do this, don't do that. Ugh.
Your vassals just bug you all day long.
Yes, that's right.
And if anything happens to the country,
it's the king's fault, isn't it?
If it rains too much, it's the king's fault. If there is drought, that's the king's fault, too.
Earthquake, it's the king's fault.
Not to mention,
it's the king's fault that old bachelors and maids can't marry.
They are so full of ****...
You are immeasurable, Your Majesty.
No, it's fine. Yes, it's all ****, isn't it?
You are correct, it is all ****.
Here.
Thank you.
How did Kim Dae Seok return alive?
I told you that it was your last chance to live as my son.
- Do you remember that? - Yes.
And yet you disobeyed my command
and collaborated to have your father insulted. Why?
Won't you properly answer right now?
Because the king is correct, and you are not, Father.
What did you say? How dare you?
Keep talking.
The Ming Dynasty is the setting sun, and the Jin State is the rising sun.
I saw it clearly with my own eyes.
They are not the barbarians of the past who used to only pillage.
Your eyes must be blinded, too.
How can you compare barbarians to the Ming Empire?
Don't look down on them for being barbarians.
Think about what happened to our Goryeo Dynasty.
They only looked to the Song Empire. But what did the Yuan Empire do to them?
Goryeo is different from Joseon.
How are they different?
and they endured seven years of war.
This boy...
Amicable relations with neighboring states is Joseon's state policy.
how can we join hands with barbarians and go against the formidable Ming Empire?
I don't mean that we should fight the Ming Empire,
but to stay neutral.
You taught me, "If you know your enemy and yourself, you can win every battle."
As we saw in the Battle of Sarhū
the Jin State is already strong, and Joseon is weak.
Now is not the time to fight the Jin State.
but the time for us to gather our strength, Father.
So after we just look back-and-forth like a bat,
and the barbarians fail? Then will the Ming Empire stand for it?
The Ming Empire that you serve so faithfully, Hyeong-nim,
is on the verge of collapsing with illness.
The emperor has entrusted everything to the eunuch official Wei Zhongxian, and is immersed in nothing but woodworking.
And that the Ming Empire is in shambles due to Wei Zhongxian's abuse of power,
you know that better than anyone, Father.
If we delivered that letter as you commanded
it is obvious that we would be at war with the Jin State.
So how could I deliver that letter?
And as for Kim Dae Seok,
I determined that he is someone we can kill later.
What a great excuse.
Then what about Amin's letter? Why did you just stand by and watch?
I was not aware of what was going on with Amin.
So I could not stop it.
Please don't believe him. Everything he says are lies.
How is your health?
I have improved a lot.
You may leave now. Rest and recuperate.
Yes, sir.
Father.
You don't believe him by any chance, do you?
They are all lies. You should interrogate him immediately—
Be quiet. Are you really not aware that he is still useful?
Go and call the doctor.
Yes.
Take him and put him to bed.
He rode here on a horse all day long,
so he must be saying nonsense due to his fatigue, Your Majesty.
So you must like him.
That's not it...
It's fine. Go ahead and take him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
He worked hard
so allow him to rest for a few days.
Time to wake!
Oh... ugh...
Do you think this is your home?
The sun is in the middle of the sky already. (noon)
Where am I?
It's the king's fault that old bachelors and maids can't marry. What ****.
So much ****, ****, and ****.
Are you brave or ignorant?
I apologize.
In any case, it's good that you returned safely.
Rest well until you are summoned.
Cha Dol!
Your father is home!
Mother!
My Lord!
Long time no see, Yeo Ju Daek.
You are home.
Why the long face?
Is there something wrong?
Where is she? Did she leave with Mother?
No, she's in the room.
Not that room...
She's in my room.
Why would she be there?
Can I come in for a minute?
Yes, you can.
I...
I'm sorry.
You look exhausted.
It must have been a tough journey.
No, it wasn't.
Thank you.
For keeping your promise to be back alive.
Thanks to you.
Because of you,
I was able to be back alive.
Get up.
My husband.
Who's your husband?
Where do you think you are? Won't you get up?
Sit down. Sit first and talk.
It's been a while since we last saw each other..
How dare you to appear in my sight?
- You're a nobleman now. You should act like one— - Get up!
Let go. Let me go! I don't want to leave.
No! I can't leave!
- Stop him, would you? - Get out.
Help me, the second wife!
What has she done to deserve our help?
But we need to think about Cha Dol...
What shall we do?
He's too mad. There's no need..
I guess the sky is not indifferent after all.
What shall we do?
Let this go first! Otherwise, I'm going to tell them everything!
Tell what?
You think I don't know?
That woman... is the princess.
What did you just say?
The princess. The king's daughter.
Are you crazy? What's that bullshi* about?
Let this go first. If you don't, I'm going to scream.
That the princess is hiding in this house.
What are you doing?
Oh, my. Oh, dear.
Why is she back?
That room, that room.
- My son, you are home. - Brother!
I'm home.
Good. You must have gone through a lot.
Are you well?
Yes, I am.
Let's go inside.
What are you doing? Come in.
Has he found out?
Yes.
What Chun Bae told you is true.
But I still wanted to not believe that. How could she?
Why did you hide that from me?
If you find out, I thought you'd be worried.
That's why I couldn't tell you.
Well... Even it's so absurd for me.
It must have been worse for you.
But... What's done is done. We should forget the past.
What can we do? We should forget everything and—
I can't do that.
Do you really believe that... that woman came back because she missed Cha Dol?
No. She's a woman that doesn't care about her child.
You must be right.
But... Things have been changed a lot, right?
Your status has been restored and you are working as a royal official.
There is me and Yeon Ok—
Mother!
I'm doing this for Cha Dol.
If Cha Dol's mother hadn't been a low commoner, I would've already kicked that wench out.
But if we were to raise Cha Dol as her son, Cha Dol would become a low commoner himself, who cannot try out for a government official.
We don't have a choice.
I cannot do that.
My son, do you have to go that way and make Cha Dol a low commoner's child?
I'm sorry. Please consider Cha Dol's biological mother as a dead person—
I cannot do that either.
For Cha Dol, I must have a daughter-in-law from a noble family.
Keep that in mind. You can leave now.
Mother!
Whatever you say, I won't change my mind. Leave now.
She's from a noble family.
No. She's from a royal family.
She's the princess.
Who is?
Cha Dol's mom is?
Yes.
The daughter of this country's king..
She's the princess.
Oh, my!
What should we do?
Sister-in-law.
What's wrong? Is something bothering you?
No. It's not that. Never mind.
R-Restroom..
So...
The daughter of the king... The princess.. You brought her in bossam?
Yes.
Cha Dol's mother..
No.
Kick the princess out immediately.
Mother!
Left State Councillor must be looking for her with all his might.
Don't you know that our entire family can get into trouble?
Left State Councillor doesn't know that the princess is alive.
There is no such secret that's buried forever.
On top of that, we're talking about the Left State Councillor.
How long do you think you can keep this away from that man?
Of course, we cannot live like this forever.
And I don't plan to do that either.
Have you already forgotten
why our family had fallen down and who made it like that?
Kick out Cha Dol's mother and the princess immediately.
That's the only way for our family to live.
Left State Councillor or whatnot. I'm going to protect my family so no one can meddle.
Please trust me!
Left State Councillor.. He's a devil.
How could a human stop a devil?
Cutting the connection with the princess..
That's the only way to avoid that man.
Kicking out the princess from this household is the same as putting her on a deathbed.
I feel bad for her, but we cannot die with her.
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry for? Do you mean you'd die with her?
You don't care if your mother and sister die? You only need the princess?
I...
I love her.
I sincerely... love her with all my heart.
What happened? What did Mother say?
Brother. You know that I'm on the princess's side, right?
Watch your mouth.
It was a sudden death? The second son of the Left State Councillor?
Yes.
When it's the father that deserves punishment,
I guess the child got if instead.
That made the innocent princess
a ggamak widow...
A ggamak widow...
The worst widow of widows...
So, she was a mangmun widow.
Mangmun widow?
Your fiance dies after you are engaged,
so you don't get to get married. That's what you call them.
I see. Mangmun widow...
So, she was Left State Councillor's daughter-in-law, but
she wasn't really the daughter-in-law of that family.
Since they were engaged, she believed she was already their daughter-in-law.
That's why she thought she had to live in that house.
But still, I heard that
the princesses live at a place called Princess Place.
Why would she choose to live a hard life in the parents-in-law's house?
Are you saying that was Cha Dol's mother's decision?
Yes.
But still, there is no way
that she wanted to do that on her own.
I guess she was pushed this and that way to do so.
No, she wasn't.
The princess made that decision.
On the behalf of her late fiance, she wanted to fulfil the filial duty.
She's born to put the well-beings of others
before her own well-being.
You've seen it all, so you understand, right?
You called everyone in. Did you find out what you wanted?
But, you are in trouble, right?
= What trouble? - What do you mean what?
You gave her a hard time until now because she was a low commoner.
When did I?
Put your hand on your heart and reflect.
Whether you've been treating her well or not.
At first, I might have given her a hard time a little bit. Only for a little while.
But I ended up treating her well, didn't I?
Treating her well? I don't remember anything.
- You tell me! - Shut your mouth!
By the way, what are you going to do with Cha Dol's mother?
When the princess is the wife, we cannot keep the second wife, can we?
I told your brother to make a decision.
Really?
Then, he'll kick her out.
- I told you to leave. - I can't leave.
Cha Dol's my son. It's my son's house. Why would I leave?
You abandoned him, remember? Who are you to call him your son?
If you mention Cha Dol one more time—
You can step aside, my son. I will take care of it.
Mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law. I did wrong.
Please forgive me once.
I was wrong.
I've reflected on my past a lot.
For Cha Dol's sake, please forgive me, Cha Dol's father. Please, my husband..
I will do everything you tell me to do. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Shut your mouth and stay quiet.
- If you do something foolish— - I won't!
I won't do anything. Don't worry.
You should kick her out. Why would you keep her in there?
What if she opens her mouth carelessly?
Let her be. Cha Dol's biological mother is nothing.
She knows about the princess.
Wait, how did she find out?
I guess she overheard what you and Yeo Ju Daek were talking about. There is no other way.
- I tried to be as careful as possible. - Anyway, that's why I'm keeping her there,
so, keep your eyes on her. She might flee anytime.
Don't worry. If she does something, I will...
I'm back from school!
Cha Dol!
Father!
Let me take a good look at you, my son.
Have you been well?
No, I haven't been well.
How come?
Haven't you heard?
I brought taffy that you like.
You said taffy is the tastiest thing in the world.
Didn't you? Was that a lie?
Well, then. I will give it to Chun Bae.
Cha Dol.
Should we sleep in my room togther tonight?
- For real? - Yes.
Father.
Are you happy that you are now a noble man?
You are not?
No, I'm not happy at all.
Why not? You are wearing nice clothes and living in a big house.
What's good to have a big house? I'm always alone by myself.
What? You don't like sleeping by yourself?
No. I like the old times.
Sleeping with you and Mom..
Are you a kid?
Am I an adult then? I don't even get to see you often these days.
You are always busy.
I'm sorry.
Let's see each other every day from now. Sounds good?
Good.
Father.
What now?
Never mind.
Go on.
I said, never mind.
You want to talk about your mother, right?
It's fine. If you don't want to talk about it, we don't have to.
Do you want to live with your mother?
No.
- No? - Right, no.
I told you already. I said I like the old times.
Cha Dol.
What?
Then, we can live like the old times!
- Why? - Stop!
Father! Stop!
Mother-in-law, did you sleep well last night?
She asked you whether you had a good sleep. Why aren't you saying anything?
Gosh, how should I address her?
Her Highness? Or just Dauther-in-law?
She can hear you!
W-Well..
I wish you'd treat me as a daughter-in-law just like you have done before.
If that's okay with you.
Of course, it's okay with me.
Sure! Let's do that then.
Thank you.
There's no need.
Should I bring water to wash your face?
Why don't you go get it?
No. I will be back soon.
Wait, is there anything you need?
The visiting merchant will be dropping by today.
- Watch your mouth. - Yes, sir.
I guess you've implanted her to Kim Dae Seok's house.
Did she get valuable information?
It's not a big deal.
I should ask her myself.
Kim Dae Seok's wife, who's fled a long time ago, is back.
I'm here to see Kim Dae Seok. Please announce for me.
If you mention Yi Dae Yeop, he would know.
A man named Yi Dae Yeop came to visit.
Did you just say Yi Dae Yeop?
Yes.
Young Master!
How did you come this far...?
While I was passing, I just stopped by.
Are you in your right mind?
How could you let Brother-in-law in?
I'm sorry.
I couldn't allow him to turn back at the front door.
Enduring the necessary risks to see you, don't you think he has a good enough reason?
Please meet him for a brief moment.
Have you been healthy and comfortable thus far?
Your Highness...
Go inside.
Do you have any other hardships because of that woman?
There are a lot of watching eyes.
Quickly tell me the reason you came to visit.
If you don't have anything else to say, I will...
Don't forget that... I'm here.
If you're having a hard time, please let me know whenever.
I am doing well.
Until when are you going to just endure everything?
Why are you being treated like this?
If you just say a word, I will immediately...
I don't know what you heard and are acting like this.
But as I have told you, I am doing well.
I understand.
Whenever you need me, please come find me.
Please stay healthy and comfortable.
Why would a thief come here? Why?
What do you think? He must have heard about Cha Dol's biological mother.
He probably came because he was worried about the princess.
Who is he that he's worrying about her? Who is he?
He? Is the young master your friend or what?
You are more of a problem than the young master, Lady Jo.
You know he's the enemy's son. You still let him in?
Watch your language!
That visiting merchant could be Left State Councillor's person.
And now his son! Get your senses together!
The Left State Councilor might find out that the princess is alive because of you!
The young master was going to betray his own family for the princess.
He's not to blame.
Of course, he's to blame!
When Chil Sung died, he grabbed Ba Wu by his collar to protect his older brother.
Anyway, like father like son.
I must be crazy.
When the young master wanted to flee with the princess, I should've helped him.
What? That's still out of line considering you're not educated!
How could you let such filthy things out of your mouth!
Dir... Yes, I am dirty!
So, you tried to hook him up with his sister-in-law with that pure mind of yours?
If I interact with you again, I will change my surname.
Surname!
That woman..!
That visiting merchant could be the Left State Councillor's person.
And now it's his son? Get your sense together!
The Left State Councillor might find out the princess is alive because of you!
Mother!
Sir Monk is here.
Sir Monk.
Have you been well so far?
Please come inside.
There are obstacles after obstacles. There is no easy day, is there?
We cannot even kick her out because she might talk about the princess.
But we cannot live with her.
What should we do, sir?
Why don't you leave it in my hand?
Excuse me? In your hand?
I will take her with me and enlighten her.
That's a good idea!
But would you be alright, Sir Monk?
You won't be able to keep your eyes on her all day long. Wouldn't she escape?
Don't worry, Madam.
If I make her do the wall-facing mind training in a cave for a couple of years, she will become a human.
If that doesn't work, I can shave her head (make her a nun).
It will lift weight off of my Sister-in-law's shoulders!
What is this?
Damn it.
Did you find her?
I can't find her.
Brother! Brother!
It's an emergency!
Our land property document and jewels are all gone.
This wench. Where could we find her?
Since you have to go to the palace, you can go ahead now.
I will take care of the rest.
Sir.
If we lure that ex-wife of Kim Dae Seok, we might be able to find something.
Please allow me some more time.
Dig deeper.
Yes, sir.
Wait!
Is this the Left State Councillor's house?
The princess is alive, you said?
Yes, sir.
You must know well if you spoke a lie.
You would know if you go there right now.
Where is she right now?
Pay me first.
Where is she?
Ba Wu, I mean Kim Dae Seok's house.
I'll leave now.
She has a big mouth. Take care of her.
P-Please spare my life, Your Excellency!.
Please save me!
Save me! I didn't do anything wrong!
Your Excellency!
Your Excellency! Save me!
I didn't do anything wrong!
Spare my life!
It's been a mystery why Dae Yeop would take his side all this time.
It's all because of the princess.
Go to the palace and bring the palace guard commandant Seok Gye.
Why Seok Gye?
Don't you know that the palace guards are guarding his house?!
I didn't think that far.
But what about Dae Yeop?
Let me go!
Save me!
Let this go.
Who is that woman?
She's no one. Don't mind her.
Save me, Lord.
I only told them the princess is alive. That's all.
Save me.
Did Father find out?
You should give up.
Step aside.
The princess is Kim Dae Seok's house. His Excellency Left State Councillor is looking for you. Quickly get ready.
Yes, sir.
The chief of police met up with the palace guard commandant and left the palace together?
Yes, Your Highness.
Have you been well?
Your Excellency.
Thank you.
For keeping your promise to be back alive.
Bossam - Steal the Fate
Proceed on according to the plan.
Why don't you stand on my side?
Make sure you protect Hwa In.
Please give me your permission to get married with Kim Dae Seok.
I don't approve. Get ready to leave with me.
After taking care of the Left State Councillor, what do you think His Majesty would do with the princess?
Could you kill the princess by tonight?
I will go personally.
He betrayed our family. We should kill him!
