[Episode 14]
Excuse me, Your Lordship.
This is Ogajaebi dried yellow corvina from Yeonggwang.
Do you not have your memorial service for your great-grandfather in 14 days?
I hoped that I could help a bit.
Well...
Oh, Hyungnim.
I heard that you expanded your plot of land in Hwanghae-do by about 250,000 sq. feet.
How tired would you be from caring for all of that land?
So, I prepared this for you.
Wait, that's a slave document.
Just as a small gift, I chose five guys who are strong
and good for work.
Thank you for thinking about me.
I should not be empty-handed,
but I came empty-handed.
A month ago- I'm not lying, I promise.
I was bringing a blue-white porcelain to give to you,
when a little brat ran into me
and broke it completely...
Gosh, such an expensive thing...
But I was going to drag that lowly thing, who broke the porcelain into the
Justice Department and give him the punishment he was due,
but just then,
the Crown Prince appeared out of nowhere.
- The Crown Prince was out under disguise? - Yes!
The duties of the Crown Prince are to stay quietly in the Palace,
wait on the King and study.
In front of all those lowly things, gosh...
he said that if I do not have compassion, I am not even human.
Do you know how much shame I received?
Geez...
As a result, I ended up coming empty-handed, Hyungnim...
I will enter for a moment.
The Crown Prince came?
Without any guards, with just a eunuch and the Sergeant?
Yes. It was definitely the Crown Prince.
The eunuch and the Sergeant fell off a cliff, so they would most likely be dead.
Well, however...
the Crown Prince was hit by an arrow...
You dared shoot an arrow at the Crown Prince?
If, by chance,
he were to capture my men alive, how would we handle the aftermath?
Did he die?
He was gravely injured.
It would be difficult to come down that mountain by himself.
Even if he were to become a corpse there,
would anyone recognize the Crown Prince there?
It looks like we might end up catching the hawk and the phoenix while trying to catch a quail.
You did not leave a trace, did you?
Of course not, Your Lordship.
The Eastern Palace must be
empty tonight.
It would be great if it would continue to stay empty.
Continuously, continuously!
Continuously.
Hello? Is anyone inside?
Please open the door! A person is dying!
Hello!
Please open the door!
Please help this man.
What is the matter at this late hour?
Please treat this man.
Aigoo, goodness.
He lost a lot of blood after he was shot by an arrow.
I am the Sergeant.
You must save this man.
But I do not have the three-seven root in this apothecary.
My son said he would grind it to a powder,
- so he took it home- - Where is your home? I will go.
Move away. This is a murder scene.
- Tell us what happened. - Are they dead?
Why would you say that!
I saw them just this morning.
What is the matter?
It is terrible. They killed all three of his family members.
Gosh, what is happening?
Now we have stopped the bleeding,
but since the wound might re-open, so he must not move.
- We have to move him to another location now. - Pardon?
Those bastards also killed Oh Man Shik's family.
They might be around here.
If they dare shoot an arrow at him, they will try to check if he's dead or alive.
Then they will search for the apothecary first.
Is there a place we can go to hide for the night?
Your Highness.
Do you hear my voice?
It is my fault.
You were right, Your Highness.
Did not evil things keep happening to you
after I came to your side, Your Highness?
It is all my fault.
I should not have insisted on staying by your side, Your Highness.
Your Highness.
I have something to tell you.
Please wake up and listen to what I have to tell you.
Sir...
What do we do...
His Highness...
will be okay, right?
It is my fault.
This is all my fault.
It is not your fault.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Are you awake?
Your Highness!
Are you okay?
Your Highness.
I am sorry that we had to bring you to such a shabby place.
I thought I would never see you both again.
Both of you, thank you
for staying alive.
Me, too.
You do not know how glad I am that you are alive.
Thank you.
Do not cry.
Did the morning lectures end already?
His Highness did not come out, so we could not hold the morning lectures.
- How come? - His Highness was sick
with a cold, so...
A cold?
Is that the truth?
I am asking if His Highness is even in the Eastern Palace.
Start the morning assembly.
Your Majesty, before we start the morning assembly, I have something urgent to tell you.
It has to do with the Crown Prince.
What do you mean it has to do with the Crown Prince?
I am sorry to say this, but not too long ago,
you laid down an order for the Crown Prince to be confined
saying that he should not get involved in politics.
This was not that long ago, and yet
there are rumors that he often leaves the palace.
Right State Minister!
Are you trying to slander the Crown Prince
and disturb the heart of His Majesty with mere rumors?
Speak.
M-Me?
Oh, well... yes. Not too long ago,
I did see His Highness
in disguise by himself on the street.
Your Majesty, why do we call the Crown Prince the Foundation of the Nation?
It is because he is the foundation of the nation.
Above, he is to inherit the work of a king from the good kings of the past,
and below, the safety of his subjects and people are dependent on him.
The success or failure of the nation lies on the Foundation of the Nation.
But I wonder if His Highness has not forgotten his duties as the Foundation of the Nation.
If he were to be influenced by worldly pleasures while going to and from the Palace,
I cannot sleep at night because I am worried about the Crown Prince.
Not only that, he supposedly did not attend the morning lectures today.
I was told that he was sick with a cold but is that really the truth
and is His Highness really
at the Eastern Palace?
Then Right State Minister, what you are saying is
that the Crown Prince is using the excuse of having a cold
and went out of the Palace nonchalantly?
Is that what you are saying?
Your Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the King is here-
What brings you to the Eastern Palace?
By chance, did you come because you were worried about me having a cold?
It is not to the extent that you should be worried, Father.
I guess the three of you were also very worried about me.
We merely came to see you since we heard your cold was a bit severe.
I only said that out of my concern for the Crown Prince-
I do not want to hear any of it, so all of you, return.
Is it really a cold?
How is his condition?
The bleeding was stanched neatly, and the wound was treated well.
There should not be any issues as long as he recovers well.
Please watch to make sure he does not have a fever.
Yes.
How dare they shoot an arrow at the nation's Crown Prince...
Did you find corroborative evidence?
The one who defiled the celebratory message at training hunt
was the head of the Taoism Department, Oh Man Shik.
- He is from Byeokcheon- - No, Father.
They would not be remaining bandits from Byeokcheon.
They tried to kill you!
Are you trying to protect them even when an arrow shoots you?
What have you been doing leaving the palace?
The ones who shot an arrow at His Highness also killed Oh Man Shik's family.
If they were on the same side as Oh Man Shik, hey would not have killed them.
Do you not think that the Right State Minister has something to do with this?
Is His Highness really
at the Eastern Palace?
Do not assume rashly
and do not act rashly, either.
You must take heed in everything you do.
You must not show any openings
to those who are out to get you.
Stop chasing the Byeokcheon case.
Now is not the time to go up against the Jo family of Seongju.
Do you really not understand
why I had you confined?
That was so unlike you.
Why did you act so brashly? Geez.
How did all three of them return perfectly fine?
Where was the place that you bumped into the Crown Prince and the eunuch
the other day?
I-It was near Jangtong-bang.
What is it now?
Your Highness,
I was not able to tell you something that day because things were so chaotic.
While searching Oh Man Shik's house in Paju,
I heard a strange story from his neighbor.
He moved here about two months ago,
but there was nothing weird in particular.
No, no!
I saw those guys many times at Imjinnaru.
They said they were sending stuff to their hometown, but it was a whole boatload of things!
How is that weird? It could just be that he has a large family.
That is what is weird about it!
Do you think he can provide for all those family members by running a fabric store?
Aigoo.
Did you hear about where his hometown was?
He said it was Gaeseong.
Did they really say Gaeseong?
Since those who hate Byeokcheon are everywhere,
he was trying to hide his hometown.
It is possible that he was hiding it, but since he sent the stuff to Gaeseong,
would not his destination also be Gaeseong?
Did you hear what the stuff he sent was?
I heard it was things like fabric, rice, paper, and stockings.
You can easily obtain those things in Gaeseong, so why...
Do you want to know what happened then now?
It wreaked blood everywhere.
Because of your father's order!
None of them was a bandit.
All of them were...
Go visit Oh Man Shik's sister-in-law, who lives in Inchang-bang.
That sister-in-law might know something about the Gaeseong business.
Yes, Your Highness.
I told you I want to eat a hangwa*, Moon! (Traditional Korean sweets)
Young Master, you will get in trouble with the Mistress!
Why are you trying to meet him? What will you do when you meet him?
I told you that I have something to tell him.
Tell me. I will deliver the message to him.
This is of utmost importance, so I cannot speak it rashly.
The whole world will be turned upside down.
It is obvious what it is.
You are trying to rip off his money again.
What did you do with the money you got ten years ago that you keep doing this?
Am I the only one who received it? Even if we were all commanders,
you think I do not know you guys of the Jo family of Seongju got more than me
- because you are family? - You!
I heard the amount of money you gain from lending money with interest is enormous.
But if you keep being so stingy, I have no choice.
Even though I wasted away all of my wealth,
I still have my lips.
Are you not curious what words will come from my lips?
Please tell him that I said that.
Are you threatening him right now?
You might really die like that.
Well, I am not afraid of dying.
I am pretty much a dead man as is,
so please give me some money.
This is really the last time.
Do not come visit me again.
Thanks.
Thanks!

Your Highness.
I guess I must have fallen asleep.
Are you all right?
It is a relief. Your fever seems to have gone down.
I will go and bring some fresh water.
Jae Yi.
How did you know that I would
wait for you in the east?
I know...
I think...
I can find where you are now whenever and wherever.
I also...
know where I should...
wait for you now.
Are you...
Are you hurt anywhere?
No. Fortunately, I am fine.
Your Highness! Your Highness...
Why would a man act like that
even if he was worried about His Highness...
Jae Yi.
He called my name.
Jae Yi.
He called...
my name.
How dare you! Let go!
Mother! Why are you being like this, Mother?
- Let go! - Father, you are up!
You wretch! Stop right there!
Why are you trying to beat me with that broom without telling me the reason?
You bastard! Stop right there!
- Whoa, whoa! - You bastard! What are you doing with that?
Mother, you know what this is, right?
- Let go of that! - Oh, okay, I will let go.
Whoa!
- Son? - What is the matter?
You should let go of that while I tell you nicely.
Then Mother, you will let go of that as well, right?
Of course.
Then I will put it down.
It is going down, down, down.
You should put that down, too.
- You should put it down. - Yeah, okay.
- Whoa, whoa. - Hurry, put it down.
You bastard!
Aigoo, Ladyship! It looks like you are in big trouble!
This precious starting soy sauce was passed down from grandmother's grandmother...
Gosh, such a waste...
Everything is going wrong because of you!
You would even go so far as play around with a girl?
Pardon? Play around with a girl?
You do not know the girl who went to the daughter of the Minister, asking her to give up on the marriage?
She supposedly said she loves you.
Pardon? She said she loved me?
Gosh, I had a girl who loved me?
How could you act like you do not know?
That girl must have had a reason.
She must have acted so brashly because she had support.
You wretched bastard!
- Excuse me... - Aigoo...
Aigoo! Welcome.
Well, you sold a bracelet to the daughter of the Minister of General Affairs, right?
What about that bracelet?
Why would you ask that? Are you worried it could be a used item?
That was new!
I did not come to ask if it was new or not.
I was just curious about where you got that bracelet.
What would you do if I told you? Will you go to the government office and complain?
No! It just looked a lot like a bracelet I'd seen before,
so that is why I am asking.
Do not worry about anything like that.
I bought that from the street vendor as well.
The street vendor?
They wander throughout the land of Joseon as if it was their home.
It looked like an item that came from a prestigious family.
It must have been brought over by merchants who crossed the seas.
Whoa, whoa. Stop this and go away.
Stop interfering with my business and go away.
How did My Lady's bracelet end up all the way here?
No matter how long we watch her, I do not think she is meeting Min Jae Yi.
Let us just hand her over to the Gaeseong government and be done with it.
Just wait.
How could we hand her over to the Gaeseong government without any negotiations?
Oh, it is the student.
Gosh, you are carrying such heavy things!
- Thank you. - Where are you going?
I'm taking this to the courtesan house and bringing some more work back.
I will give you half of it again, so give it to your mother.
Really? My mother is really good at sewing, right?
I will carry it to the courtesan house for you.
Gosh, I would be grateful if you would do that!
You stayed up all night to do these?
Things have gotten easier for me because of your mother.
It is pretty.
Right?
Here. I leave these up to you again.
Yes, I will do my best to finish them as soon as possible.
Here. I put in a generous amount.
Oh, thank you!
Oh, just leave it to us!
How dare you, a girl from Byeokcheon, set foot here?
Did you think I would not know you were a Byeokcheon girl if you did not mention it?
So what if you worked as an inner court maid in the palace?
You were kicked out, which means you are a Byeokcheon girl!
- What does my hometown have to do with anything? - Gosh, so annoying.
I just have to be good at sewing to get some sewing work, no?
You have not even looked at the embroidery that I have done...
What are you doing not sending her away?
Yes, ma'am.
Such a persistent girl.
She keeps coming back after being chased out many times.
It is because she has nowhere to go.
Who would give work to someone from Byeokcheon?
Look!
- Where do you live? - Why do you ask where I live?
Since I receive work from this house, receive sewing work from me.
If you tell me where you live, I will come to pick this up
around the time you are finished sewing.
Come to Namsan Village and ask for Gap Seok's place.
But why would you entrust me with these expensive dresses?
If you worked in the palace, you must have made clothes for the King.
How sad.
I cannot believe they would not give you work because you are from Byeokcheon despite your skill.
Because I got kicked out of the Palace and had to stay with my orabeoni,
people found out that he was also from Byeokcheon and
and also got kicked out of the field he was tenant farming for 10 years..
The world is quite malicious.
I will do this job well and give it back to you.
Thank you for trusting me.
Never mind the phoenix. We did not even catch the quail and the hawk.
I thought we would get rid of those two from the Crown Prince's side.
It would have been good if we had managed to get rid of that eunuch, at least...
Who is this!
Let go! Who is responsible for this!
Let go!
Put me down! Gosh, put me down!
Who are you?
How could you do this to a eunuch of the Eastern Palace?
Permission to strike this man?
What are you? Who ordered you to do this?
Shut up! Your life is in our hands.
If you want to live, answer our questions without making a fuss!
- What do you want? - Tell us everything you know about the Crown Prince.
What did you say?
What do you mean, Soon Dol was dragged away?
What are you plotting by His Highness' side?
Did the Guardian Warrior command you to get rid of me?
Stop talking nonsense! Quickly tell us about the Crown Prince!
Do you not understand your life is ticking away?
Do I look like I am in my right mind right now?
You bastard!
S-Spare me!
Gosh, I am going to die!
What are you guys doing!
P-Put that dagger away. It is dangerous.
M-My stomach hurts so much...
W-We should resolve this with words.
Loyalty test?
What will you do by testing Soon Dol's loyalty?
If anyone, it should be me.
Since he is the first new eunuch in a while, they have been waiting to do this for a while.
Why are you so angry about this?
We have always done this as a custom of the Eunuch Bureau...
If something is a custom, does that make it right?
does that make it right?
Even though an old sage says we should know both what is old and what is new,
some customs may be unnecessary.
Thus, it is unwise to carry them out without thought.
It is over here, Your Highness.
Aigoo!
Let us live!
Aigoo!
Aigoo! Your Highness!
We did not get to test his loyalty because he fought us with all his might.
You got attacked without finding out anything.
That means he passed.
Go Soon Dol passed the loyalty test!
By the way, Your Highness,
he possessed a knife!
A eunuch who serves Your Highness possesses a knife?
How did that happen? Let me see.
You little bastard.
Just leave it.
I gave him that knife.
I gave it to him because he sometimes needs it to guard me.
I will go to the library. Follow me, Soon Dol.
Yes, Your Highness.
We were not going to kill Soon Dol. Why did he come here even though he was sick?
This is a huge discrimination!
I hate discrimination more than anything!
Right, he said something strange!
He asked me if Guardian Warrior had told me to kill him.
Guardian Warrior?
Go Soon Dol is wary of Guardian Warrior, and he carries a dagger around.
Lift up your head.
Did you only injure your face?
It is nothing.
Do you know how much I worried that you might get hurt?
Why are you smiling?
Well... I just...
Why did I smile?
Maybe I was glad you worried about me?
I should...
send you away.
Go to Sergeant, your betrothed.
You have been through a lot.
Could it be...
Jae Yi?
Min Jae Yi.
On, you came.
Your cousin came all the way from Jangju.
You must be surprised because I never told you.
Come and have a seat here!
I should prepare So Eun's room myself.
Sergeant is waiting for you, his betrothed,
and is looking for you desperately.
He will hear your plea for innocence
and believe you, so...
you should...
go back to where you belong.
Why are you saying that all of a sudden?
Did I do anything wrong?
Why are you trying to kick me out?
I am not trying to kick you out. You got hurt so much by being with me.
I cannot stand to see you in danger anymore.
I will talk to Sergeant
and he will find you a place to stay.
You should go back to where you belong.
Do you...
really want me to do that?
If you go to Sergeant,
I will clear your name for you.
Would you be okay
even if I leave you?
Would you really
be okay even if I marry
Sergeant?
You should not have
come to me at all.
I never regretted it.
Even if I could go back in time,
I still would have come to you.
It was the only decision I made as a woman
that I would...
never regret.
I am telling you to leave for your own good. Also...
it is the right thing to do
for Sergeant as well.
- So... - Did you...
not want me...
around that much?
I...
will not go to Sergeant.
We are finally getting close to finding out their identity.
I cannot give up now.
I will continue to investigate by your side.
If I were in danger, you would be in danger, too.
How could I leave you alone in danger just so I could be safe?
How could you only say things that hurt me?
No matter what you say,
I will not go. I mean...
I cannot go.
And...
I...
am not in the condition to go to Sergeant anyway.
What do you mean, you are not in the condition?
I...
am in love with someone else.
What are you talking about-
I have someone I secretly love.
That is why I cannot go to him.
Well... You love someone?
Secretly in love? Did you meet another man dressed as a eunuch? Well-
Look at you. How could you do such a thing?
You fall in love with your heart. Why does how I dress matter?
I am not saying I will be with you forever.
I know full well that I must leave you when the time comes.
But now is not the time.
You still need me, Your Highness.
Just like how I need you.
When the time comes,
I will ask Sergeant for forgiveness myself.
So you should...
no longer tell me to leave as well.
I already made up my mind.
So Eun came to Hanyang in order to participate in the Princess Consort selection.
- Father. - She is not used to life here.
You should take good care of her as her older cousin.
So Eun, you should consider him as your brother, too.
I am in your care, Orabeoni.* (Means older brother, oppa)
[Manyeondang]
This is Court Lady Kwon, Your Highness.
Court Lady Choi brought news.
Crown Prince came back after getting shot with an arrow.
A physician is currently treating him.
He must have gotten shot with an arrow in Paju.
Did you order them to...
put away Oh Man Shik's body?
Yes, Your Highness.
I told them to bury him with his family where it gets good sunlight.
Go Soon Dol is wary of Guardian Warrior, and he carries a dagger around.
Should I tell him to be careful?
Get your taffy!
Tasty taffy is here! Get your taffy!
- Get your taffy! - Scholar Park.
It's taffy. Taffy.
Does it not look so tasty?
I happened to have gotten paid today.
I will get some sweet taffy for you.
So you are telling me to just eat taffy*? (It's "yeot" in Korean, "eat yeot" means "screw you")
Go eat taffy!
So...
are you still not satisfied even after insulting me like that?
- That is not what I meant- - I am okay.
Go ahead and help yourself.
That was forever ago! You small-minded bastard.
I do not like him these days.
I am in love with someone else.
I have someone I secretly love.
You love someone?
You are secretly in love? How does that make any sense?
Is that why you are angry at me right now?
You little... There really is a man you love?
Did you think it was a woman, then?
Who is it?
There is no way...
- It cannot be a eunuch, can it? - Am I a fool? To love a eunuch?
Who is it, then? If not a eunuch or a court lady or...
Could it be...
someone outside the palace?
It is someone who goes in and out of the palace.
- Give me the name. - Try to guess.
It is someone very stupid.
I always send sparks with loving looks,
but he has no idea.
He is intelligent, but he is a dimwit who does not know how to read the air.
Saying that now
makes me wonder why I like him.
That is good. Just forget it.
- Why do you like someone so pathetic? - It is up to me!
It's my heart. It belongs to me! It is none of your business.
It is your heart and your life. Do whatever you wish.
Someone who commutes to a government office in the palace.
Department of Archives. Department of Imperial Orders, Imperial Library,
Office of Secretary, Royal Academy,
Royal Bodyguard Unit, Royal Clinic...
- Stay away from me. - Pardon?
Do not be so close to me. Stay away!
Two steps further.
Go!
Eunuch Go and Friend, you are here!
It is especially nice since I have not seen you in a while!
Why are you walking like that?
- Did you get injured? - It is nothing!
I got beaten by my mother with a broom.
My buttock just became a bit battered.
But why are you laughing?
Student, tell him why I was laughing.
A woman...
who is in love with him
visited the daughter of the Minister who is in marriage talks
- and asked her to reject the proposal. - That is right.
That is right.
Her Ladyship, who heard that from the Minister of General Affairs,
beat up his buttock like this!
And got it all battered.
That is right!
Which part of this story made you so happy?
There is a woman who is in love with me!
She apparently watched me for a long time.
She went to the woodpecker herself and asked her to give up on me!
Have you met a spunky woman like that in the entire Joseon?
I guess you like spunky women.
Is your mother your type, then?
Do not say something so ridiculous.
She must be extraordinary.
She is the one who recognized my hidden charms.
Not just her looks, but her heart must be fine as silk.
She must be full of brilliance.
Have you not noticed whenever you visited me?
- The glance from a woman who admires me? - I have not.
Gosh! Impossible!
There must have been a beautiful woman who was watching me.
I have not seen such a woman.
Eunuch Go, have you seen her?
I have not even seen her shadow.
What would you do even if you saw the spunky woman?
Will you read the Autopsy Dictionary together or something?
Do you think she would read that with me?
Who would read a book all about dead bodies with you?
He read it with me.
No, no.
I saw that woman.
It is her!
She was standing in the courtyard of Manyeondang, looking like a painting!
That woman was me, you fool.
I could tell her sincerity just from the back of her head!
Her affection for me led her to step on the courtyard I had stepped on.
I walk around in that courtyard every day.
Do not try to deny it.
Even though you are jealous of my popularity.
Come on...
So are you okay that you got dumped by that woodpecker woman?
Gosh! I do not look back at the past.
She must have watched me heading to Manyeondang
today, too, while standing somewhere
on the street with her longing heart.
Let us go! This popular Myung Jin will treat you to a spread!
Aigoo...
Will you be okay?
Are you okay?
Look at you!
Aigoo, nice!
The people from Manyeondang are here.
Dal Rae, it is them.
People who gave money to Meo Roo.
I have always wanted to thank you.
Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you, sir!
Are you feeling better now?
Yes, I recovered, thanks to you.
Thanks to you, my sister is no longer sick and
we are not hungry, either.
These two are almost bleeding us dry these days.
They eat so much!
Your faces look brighter, and your clothes look clean.
I am glad you are doing well.
Thank you so much for caring for them.
Do not mention it.
We just did what you asked us to do.
- We live here now. - You do?
Well... um...
We have been to their shed before.
Leaving them there felt like a waste of the effort we put into feeding them.
We do not have our own children.
We just let them sleep with us in our room.
We are happy to have children to call our own.
How wonderful!
Let me see.
What is the situation inside your stomach today, Meo Roo?
- It is totally empty. - What?
You even had three bowls.
It is a problem that your stomach is empty even after having three bowls.
Should we eat until our stomachs explode today?
- You little! - Be careful! Aigoo.
Come here!
Aigoo! Stop!
Stop that!
Are you sure it was my bracelet?
Yes.
I will check properly if I see that lady again soon.
That troublemaker youngest son of the Chief State Minister is surely famous.
The Crown Prince visits him often, you said?
Along with that man named Go Soon Dol?
That is the same place that Go Soon Dol frequented while collecting ledgers for
the oyat tree case, correct?
Did you notice anything suspicious inside?
I could not find anything in particular. However...
This was on the wall there.
A wanted poster for Min Jae Yi, the daughter of
Gaeseong governor, who is being chased for murdering her family.
There were many of them on the wall, not just a few.
It was found in the place that the Crown Prince frequents.
There must be some connection.
"Maiden Min Jae Yi, whom I love"?
Your Excellency, may I come in for a moment?
What is it about?
A man is here to see you.
He said he was a slave manager.
He said he needed to talk to you regarding a slave who ran away.
Why are you bothering His Excellency because of some slave manager?
I will chase him away.
Just leave it.
Let me just hear what he has to say.
Forgive us for wanting to see you, Your Excellency!
Yes.
You have something you need to tell me?
I won again!
He won, he won!
Hold on, hold on! We need to redo it. That was weird.
How come you are so bad?
It is because I got beaten by my mother!
Do you even know how to play Jegi yourself?
You do not even know how to shovel.
You had better not provoke me.
I am sure you cannot beat me.
I picked up Jegi off the table on my first birthday.
I was born kicking Jegi!
I kicked Jegi inside my mother's womb!
I am from a family with generations of Jegi masters.
I have never heard of a family like that.
Aigoo! Why do you not just have a match?
The one who loses pays for the meal. What do you think?
Did you already forget it was supposed to be your treat?
I guess you are not confident enough to bet.
What do you mean, not confident?
Stop arguing with your mouth and just have a match.
Could you please...
Will you be okay? Your wound is still-
I am okay. Do not worry.
Step aside.
Gaeseong's murderer, Min Jae Yi's servant girl dressed as a man
and became a student at Manyeondang?
That is correct, Your Excellency.
I thought I finally would get to treat you to a meal, Friend.
But that's not happening! Thank you, Friend!
Should I ask for a different dish?
It is okay. I like red bean porridge.
It grew on me.
Gosure!* (A ritual where one wishes to avoid illness by throwing food on the ground)
Come now. What are you doing?
Why are you throwing precious food many people worked hard for?
You cannot treat food like that.
Aigoo! Dal Rae taught your brother well!
I should do Gosure, too.
Okay. Gosure!
They are giving it to bugs or animals so we can coexist.
It is a folk custom in Joseon.
My parents taught us when we lived in our hometown.
When people are hungry, bugs or animals are hungry, too.
They said we have to share food with them even if we do not have enough.
Gosure!
I was ignorant.
Thank you for letting me know.
How nice! How nice!
We have to have a tune on a night like this. Do you not agree?
Who will be singing a song, then?
One of the pretty scholars...
The eldest scholar!
I do not know how to sing.
You cannot make me sing.
What do you mean you do not know how?
You just sing however you feel. That is how you do it.
You have to have a musician and an instrument in order to sing-
Here comes an instrument
- What is this- - Friend.
You have to carry around an instrument
to do your duty as a scholar of Joseon.
I brought mine with me!
What is wrong with these people?
Aigoo, my arm! My arm!
Since shy Scholar Park is refusing,
- I will sing a song for you! - All right!

We tried to catch Min Jae Yi using her as bait,
but only...
three men frequented Manyeondang.
One is the owner of Manyeondang.
And I know who one of the rest is.
But the last one is...
I also know...
who the last one is.
If you pay us a bit of commission fee,
we will catch the servant bitch, at least.
If we catch her and question her, we could catch Min Jae Yi soon, too.
Even if we caught Min Jae Yi,
all we can do is send her to Royal Investigation Bureau.
However...
you came all the way here. I should at least pay you for that.
You can eat sufficiently for at least a month with that.
I will take care of the servant bitch.
You no longer have to worry about her.
Look, everyone!
S-S-Someone...
died up there!
Someone died! Hurry up! Let's go!
Hurry up!
Dal Rae, go inside the room with Meo Roo!
Go inside.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Go Soon Dol. I was wondering who you were.
You were Min Jae Yi.
The Crown Prince...
let a woman in the Palace as a eunuch!
What should we do? It is the daughter of the Minister of General Affairs!
Somebody notify the Office of Hanseong!
How scary!
The fact that you are the
least desired husband material among the Hanyang women does not change.
That is why you should end this marriage discussion.
How did this woman...
Do you know this woman?
She is the daughter of the Minister of General Affairs
who was considered to marry Young Master Myung Jin.
I ran into her once.
What happened?
She... She suddenly ended up this way.
We were on the way to a stationery shop.
I opened the carriage when we arrived
and she threw up blood...
My Lady!
My Lady...
Did you exchange this with him as the symbol of love?
Aigoo! Officer!
Officer!
How come you are...
[Our Blooming Youth]
A person died, and she stole her bracelet?
The bracelet belongs to Min Jae Yi, the murderer of Gaeseong.
A chance to dethrone the Crown Prince landed on my lap.
Do you like the Eastern Palace or the Crown Prince?
I will arrange your marriage quickly.
Your wife will be the daughter of the Han family of Yeongsan.
What kind of person is His Highness?
I will be thinking of His Highness every day.
He will be thinking of me, too, right?
