(Episode 45)
Did you hear anything about the King's condition?
No, Your Majesty.
I need to go...
to his chamber.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Please wake up.
I haven't told you...
who I really am yet.
I haven't yet...
revealed...
my status to you.
Your Majesty.
Please open your eyes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Please wake up.
Please, Your Majesty.
Please wake up.
Your Majesty.
Ok Nyeo.
Your Majesty, are you awake?
Why...
are you here?
Your Majesty.
How...
How did you get in here?
Are you all right, Your Majesty?
I am so relieved to see you awake.
The royal physician must come here.
I'll go bring Court Lady Han.
You don't have to.
There's no need to hurry.
Your Majesty.
I asked you...
why you're here.
I heard that you were in a serious condition.
I thought I must come see you.
Ok Nyeo.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Thank you...
for visiting me.
But...
didn't anyone stop you from coming in?
Officer Han and Court Lady Han...
helped me get into your chamber secretly.
Please don't worry, Your Majesty.
I won't.
Are you really okay?
The royal physician said it was myocardial infarction.
I heard...
it is a serious illness.
I've had the illness for a long time.
Since my son left this world,
it has worsened.
I will get better soon,
so don't worry too much.
Your Majesty.
What did you just say?
The Queen Dowager is on her way here?
Where is she now?
She's near. She just passed by the Royal Office.
Okay.
Your Majesty, are you awake?
Is my mother...
on her way here now?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Do we have...
enough time to let Ok Nyeo out?
That is... That seems impossible for now.
Where is Court Lady Han now?
She's looking after the King inside the chamber.
- Open the door. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Why are you alone here? Where's the royal physician?
He went to make the medicine for the King.
He'll be back shortly.
I want you to leave the room.
- Pardon? - I'll take care of the King,
so wait outside.
I will, Your Majesty.
I haven't seen you sleeping...
for a long time.
The last time was at Dongungjeon.
Your Majesty.
You suffered from many illnesses since you were little.
It made me worry all the time.
However,
you always managed to recover...
and relieved me.
I believe...
that you will wake up again this time too.
Do you still...
carry the dice of the Prince with you?
Even when the Prince passed away,
you never wept aloud in front of me.
I know...
that you didn't want me to worry.
You kept all the sorrow...
to yourself.
Was it the sorrow...
that brought you this illness?
Or...
did my harsh words...
hurt your heart?
You once asked me...
if I tried to poison the former King...
and killed all the court maids and ladies who knew about it.
Why did you have to do that? Why?
Did I...
ever ask you...
to kill my brother to enthrone me?
Or...
did I ask you to kill the innocent court maids and ladies...
to protect the throne?
What...
What does this title mean...
that you had to cause such tragedy?
I was heavily disappointed in you...
and resented you.
I never thought...
you'd reproach me so harshly.
All the choices and judgement...
I made since you were born...
were solely for your sake.
That is why...
I had no choice but to hurt you...
like you hurt my heart with your harsh words.
I know...
I severely reprimanded you.
Now I came to...
regret it deeply.
I feel responsible for this tragedy.
My heart is breaking into pieces.
So...
please open your eyes for me.
I'm dying from worries.
Please wake up and say you're not sick because of me.
I did everything...
for your sake.
Even if I can go back,
I would do the same thing.
Even if that means I be punished and suffer for eternity after death,
if I could protect you,
I would...
do anything it takes.
I will find all the Dongungjeon ladies...
and maids and kill them.
Those who know about it...
and those who get in your way...
will all die as well.
Your Majesty.
You must get up.
Wake up...
and tell me that you understand.
You are a good son.
Do not break my heart any longer.
Tell me that you are not sick because of me.
Is the Queen Dowager inside?
- Yes. - Where is Ok Nyeo?
She's also inside.
What?
Your Majesty.
If the King shows signs of recovery,
send word to me immediately.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty. Are you all right?
My mother.
Did she return to her chamber?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Ok Nyeo.
You can come out.
You must have heard everything...
my mother said.
I have...
no idea what to say.
Do not worry, Your Majesty.
You only just woke up.
I fear the concern and shock will cause another attack.
I know.
As soon as I recover,
I will call you.
You can leave.
Jae Seo.
Take Ok Nyeo back home.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Yes, Sir.
Court Lady Han.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Tell my mother that...
I woke up...
30 minutes from now.
Yes, Your Majesty. I will do that.
I will find all the Dongungjeon ladies...
and maids and kill them.
Those who know about it...
and those who get in your way...
will all die as well.
Ma'am.
Sir.
You can return to the Palace.
Very well.
What happened?
How is the King?
He woke up.
Pardon?
Is that true?
Go to Sir Kang right now...
and tell him that.
Yes, Ma'am.
Go to the inn at the crossroads...
and tell the owner I sent you.
Pardon?
I'll watch the gate for you.
- Will you really? - Let's go, then.
Come on in.
I can't believe the innkeeper's good for something.
Hurry up.
Here he is.
- Tae Won. - Sir.
Are you okay?
Why are you here?
Why do you think?
- We were worried about you. - Don't be silly.
There's not much time. Be quick.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
What are you staring at?
- This isn't the first time. - I knew this would happen.
This is a serious issue.
It is. I asked around.
Things don't look good.
Is it about Lady Jung's cousin?
Did you take the case knowing who he was?
I said don't worry.
They won't kill me for defending a boy.
The problem is that Lady Jung is serious about this.
The commissioner's acting like...
he'll throw out the legal officers at her request.
He'll want to use you...
as an example to everyone else.
What should we do about this?
It's Jong Geum, my lord.
May I come in?
You may.
What are you doing here so late?
You don't look very well.
I can't be well, can I?
The King shows no signs of recovery...
and the Queen Dowager is very concerned.
Oh dear.
My lord, I would like to offer you my services...
and maybe that would cheer you up.
What do you mean?
Come to my chambers tonight.
I shall take a nice long bath...
and wait for you.
Who knows? Maybe a good massage from me...
could make you feel much better.
What are you talking about?
Are you seducing me?
Is it wrong to?
What is wrong with you?
You have such a dirty mind.
Pardon?
My lord.
A pregnant woman should think good thoughts and focus on the baby.
What were you thinking?
My lord...
You are obscene. Get out of here!
My lord.
How could you say that?
Stop it and get out!
I'm upset now.
- She's lost her mind. - I'll come back. You wait.
- I'm so upset. - My lord.
My lord.
We got word from the Palace.
What about?
Is it about the King?
He just woke up.
What?
Your Majesty.
Mother.
Your Majesty.
Do you know how worried I was that...
you wouldn't wake up?
I have...
caused you great distress.
- I apologise. - You don't have to.
You are awake and that is enough.
How is he?
He still has chest pains...
and his pulse is weak, so he needs to rest.
Treat him well so that he makes a full recovery as soon as possible.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Yoo Geum liked me long before I fell for her.
It's true.
Sir.
Ok Nyeo.
Officer Yang.
Sit down.
Sit, Ok Nyeo.
Officer Yang, why is Sir Yoon here?
For insulting the court and the Police Commissioner.
His trial's in five days.
- Pardon? - Until then,
he's to be locked up here.
How is being a legal officer insulting the court?
It's Lady Jung's doing.
I'll be let off after a few lashes.
Don't worry too much.
You won't be let off that lightly.
- Ask Lord Yoon to... - Don't even mention that.
Treasurer Ji.
Take me to my cell.
Okay. Come with me.
- Stop being so stubborn. - Sir. Sir.
Ok Nyeo, have a seat.
I don't like where this is going.
There's talk that Lady Jung offered my commissioner a promotion.
He's pulling out all the stops to impress her.
What?
Move it, will you?
Sir.
Tell me whenever you need something.
- I'll let you get back to work. - Okay.
I'll come by in a bit with a snack.
Is Yoon Tae Won here?
Yes. I just took him to his cell.
They're handing Eon Nom over...
to Law Enforcement for hiring a legal officer.
For that? How could they?
What do they have against that little boy?
I heard Tae Won will stand trial in five days.
He'll get off with a slap on the wrist.
He's Lord Yoon's illegitimate son.
Sir Yoon cut ties with Lord Yoon.
Now he went and upset Lady Jung.
I don't think they'll let him off lightly this time.
He's still friends with a rich merchant.
He'll get off by paying a fine.
It's Eon Nom who'll pay the price.
Chief, you see what's going on?
Will you keep letting the legal officers into Jeonokseo?
I think this is just the beginning.
What do you mean?
If the legal officers keep visiting Jeonokseo,
you will end up in trouble yourself one day.
What? Why me?
You're the one who's introducing the legal officers...
to the prisoners.
What would the officials have to say about that?
Think about it, Chief.
You need to forbid legal officers from setting foot in Jeonokseo...
and stop cooperating with Sir Gong.
That's the only way to stay alive.
Listen to me.
- You, too. - I won't.
The legal officers are doing good work.
Say no to Sir Gong and to the legal officers.
That's all there is to it.
- Chief Jung. - Officer Yoo.
- How are you? - How are you?
We're here to see Sir Yoon.
I see.
The thing is...
- I'd like to talk to you first. - Pardon?
Come with me.
What do you mean by that?
You don't want us here?
I mean...
You can't come to Jeonokseo for a while.
Pardon? Why would you say that?
- Why can't we come here? - Chief.
What about the lawsuits...
- we're working on? - Right.
Stop working on them.
But... Sir.
You saw Tae Won get dragged out of court,
so I'll be brief.
Don't come here on any of your legal officer business.
- You can go now. - We can't go now.
What made you change your mind?
What do you expect from us?
Sir, then let us...
see Tae Won before we go.
- Please, Sir. - Go home.
- Sir. - Get going.
- Chief, what's this about? - Get lost.
- What's going on? - Get out of here.
- Say something. - Don't come back.
- Did you see Tae Won? - What did he say?
Why won't either of you speak?
We got sent away before we even got to see Tae Won.
What?
They don't want us in or near Jeonokseo for a while.
- Did you just leave, then? - Hey.
We got thrown out, okay?
Jung Dae Shik, the scaredy-cat's trying to save his skin.
What should we do now?
Shouldn't we get Tae Won out before things get too serious?
He went after Lady Jung's cousin.
It won't be easy.
Couldn't you talk to Lord Yoon on his behalf?
Tae Won cut ties with Lord Yoon.
I know that,
but he's the only person we can rely on right now.
Uncle.
He's here.
Watch where you're going, will you?
Do you have a death wish?
You should beg for your lives since you bumped into me.
I should poke your eyes out for glaring at me.
Why do you care whether we glare or blink?
- Who are you anyway? - What?
Where are your manners?
What are you staring at?
You just slapped a man who's looking to start a fight.
Thank you so much, you scumbag.
Get him.
Why won't you fight back?
I don't know who you are.
How would I know?
Jerks like you deserve a beating.
You fools!
What do you think you're doing?
Let's go.
What was the fight about?
Man Ho? My goodness.
Man Ho. Wake up.
How did this happen?
Nan Jung.
What is it?
Man Ho got beaten up and is badly hurt.
What?
Nan Jung.
What happened?
Tae Won's men got to me.
He lost his case and got locked up in Jeonokseo.
He sent his men to get back at me.
- What? - They really got to you.
Go on inside. He's in.
Thank you.
What do you have to say?
My lord.
Tae Won is in Jeonokseo.
What? What for?
He defended a boy...
and was arrested for insulting the court and Police Commissioner.
He will stand trial in five days.
Lord Yoon, you are the only person...
who can get him out.
Please help him one more time.
You don't seem to know that...
he told me himself that he'd cut ties with me.
- I don't care what happens to him. - My lord.
He can't have meant what he said.
He can be prickly like that, but you know how he feels about you.
Ties between father and son...
cannot be severed, however hard you try.
Could you find it in your heart to forgive him this once?
He doesn't care for me because he's crazy about Ok Nyeo.
I will talk to him, my lord.
Please forgive Tae Won.
Have you lost your mind?
Forgive Tae Won?
He severed ties with his own father. Why does he deserve forgiveness?
- Be quiet. - My lord.
Tae Won betrayed you and insulted me.
You can't forgive him.
Get out of here.
If you ever come here to beg for Tae Won's life,
you'll end up begging for yours.
Why are you looking at me like that?
I didn't say anything wrong.
When are you going to...
stop treating Tae Won so harshly?
Tae Won is revolting because you always...
despise him and treat him coldly.
Do you know whom Tae Won defended at the court?
It's the boy who tried to kill Man Ho with a sickle.
- He tried to kill Man Ho? - Yes.
Tae Won knew Man Ho and I are related.
He defended the boy to get back at me.
Besides, after losing the case, he sent some scoundrels...
and beat up Man Ho.
I cannot stand him any longer.
So? What are you going to do?
Are you going to take my son to the court?
If that will teach him a lesson, I will.
- What? - You've been...
overindulging him.
That's why he's fooling around with Ok Nyeo...
and wasting time with legal officers.
It's time to teach him a lesson.
If you really care about him, just leave him be.
That's the right thing to do for his sake.
Goodness. That brat.
What brings you here?
Ma'am.
We punished Jung Man Ho, that punk.
Yes. We beat him up good.
What? Why did you do something I didn't ask for?
If the law can't punish him, we should punish him on our own.
Otherwise, how can we satisfy our resentment?
We should kill that punk. He deserves it.
- Ma'am. - Ma'am.
Okay.
Jung Man Ho might try to get back at you. Go in hiding for a while.
- Yes, Ma'am. - Yes, Ma'am.
- Sir. - Ok Nyeo.
Have some.
Did you make this?
Yes.
I guess it's not so bad to be a prisoner.
I get to eat the food you made for me.
Let's eat it together.
No, I'm fine. Please eat up.
I know about...
my father and Lady Jung's...
repeated evil deeds,
and the Queen Dowager and her family trying to control the country.
But I thought the law would be fair to everyone.
Even though the law can't protect everyone,
I believed it still gives people the last chance to save themselves.
Although they have power over the law,
I thought we wouldn't...
be wronged if we cope with the situation well.
Now I realise how foolish I was...
to believe that.
The law is only a means and a weapon of those with power.
I'm also thinking the same thing.
Yeong Bae and Jeong Soo, my subordinates,
took revenge on Jung Man Ho.
- What? - When they told me,
I scolded them.
It took me some thought...
to realise that they did something even the law couldn't do.
If Lord Yoon and Lady Jung threaten us with swords and blood,
maybe I should do the same.
I'm not sure...
if their greed and madness have blinded me.
Sir.
It's been a long time.
Did Sir Kang Sun Ho send you?
You made a foolish choice.
Sir.
Stop.
Step back.
Sir. It's been a long time.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm here to give you the last warning.
You joined hands with Queen Janggyeong's family.
That's a foolish choice.
You were once the head of the spies.
Can't you tell who is in power and who isn't?
I made a much better choice than you.
You're Lord Yoon's dog now.
If you...
keep revolting against Lord Yoon,
you and I will...
become enemies.
So, please make a wise decision.
Otherwise, you and your men will...
die in vain.
Shut your mouth.
If you don't leave Lord Yoon's side,
you will lose your life.
I'll say this again.
This is my last warning.
When I see you again,
you should...
be ready...
to risk your life then.
- Are you okay? - I'm sorry, Sir.
Joo Cheol Gi found out everything. This is bad.
Notify the other guys to watch out for him.
Sir.
Sir Joo Cheol Gi wants to see you.
Come.
If you wish to live,
don't do anything silly.
She's here.
It's been a long time, Sir.
It has,
but I've been hearing what you've been up to.
Sir Kang Sun Ho asked you to be Ok Nyeo's bodyguard.
Yes, Sir.
You were my favourite one...
among the spies.
Why...
did you make such a choice?
It's not too late.
If you want to live,
you should work for me.
What is it?
I asked you a question.
Your Highness.
I met Sir Joo Cheol Gi today.
- What? - He told me...
to betray you and work for him instead.
What did you tell him?
I told him I'll think about it.
Don't turn him down. Tell him you will do it.
Pardon? What are you going to do?
I have a plan. Do as I say.
Yes, Your Highness.
It's all done, Your Majesty.
I see.
I will speak to the royal physician in private. You may leave.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
How is my condition?
The pain in your heart is caused by unhealthy blood.
I'm treating you with acupuncture and medicine.
You'll get better soon.
Listen.
You and I are the only people in this room right now.
Tell me the truth.
Your Majesty.
Tell me.
How bad is my illness?
Your Majesty.
You're not making a recovery.
Myocardial infarction is an illness that we can't cure...
with the current medicine.
If you have another seizure and lose consciousness,
I won't be able to guarantee anything then.
Are you saying...
I might even die tomorrow?
Your Majesty. This is all because of my incompetence.
I deserve to die, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty. This is our fault that we didn't assist...
the King properly.
We're truly sorry, Your Majesty.
- We're truly sorry, Your Majesty. - We're truly sorry, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
You must've been so worried.
Thank goodness the King has regained consciousness.
- It could've been disastrous. - This isn't...
only your fault.
The person who is the most responsible for...
his illness is me.
- Your Majesty. - The King must...
focus on his recovery for a while.
You should...
take care of the national affairs.
Yes, Your Majesty. We will do our best.
Lord Yoon.
Your Majesty. The reason why we're here to see you is...
to discuss the King's heir with you.
- What do you mean? - Well...
It hasn't been long since his son passed away,
but it's hard not to think about who will be the next king.
Your Majesty. We were...
so afraid that the King would pass away...
with out having an heir.
Don't worry about that.
His Majesty will have an heir of his own.
Your Majesty. We also think...
it will be the best if he produces a prince of his own,
but why don't we prepare an alternative just to be sure?
An alternative?
Maybe you can meet the princes...
and look for someone who can take the throne among them.
Lord Yoon, watch your words.
The King is still young. How dare you say such a thing?
Your Majesty.
I feel terrible to say this to you,
but we can't just wait around for him...
- to have a son. - That's enough.
The King will certainly recover from this and have a son of his own.
Your Majesty. We can't put off this decision any longer.
He's right, Your Majesty.
Please understand that...
we're only trying to protect this country and the royal family.
Shut your mouth.
If you're going to keep talking nonsense, you should leave now.
Lord Yoon. We must take the initiative in...
- deciding the heir. - He's right.
Let's go.
- Did you find out? - Yes, Sir.
The Queen Dowager's family already started to discuss the heir.
They're already meeting with some of the princes.
We should do something, Sir.
The King is still young.
Isn't it disloyal to discuss it already?
But they're already making a move.
If they choose a prince for their own...
political interest,
it may let them continue their evil deeds for a long time.
He's right, Sir.
We can't lose this opportunity.
We can't, Sir.
- Ok Nyeo. - Ok Nyeo.
Please sit.
Did the business in Kaesong go well?
It did. I bought 5,000 geun of ginseng and paid 30 yang per geun.
I see. Well done.
Lady Jung and Min Dong Joo...
still believe that there will be a trade between Ming.
We told Dong Chang to let them know it was Sir Jang who bought ginseng.
They will soon contact us to buy the ginseng.
Sir. You should sell it at a price three times higher.
Three times higher?
- Yes, that's right. - Can you do it?
Well... I'll have to try.
You'll have to try? What kind of an answer is that?
All of us are risking our lives here. You know that.
He still doesn't look confident. Ok Nyeo.
Will he be okay?
Are you going to be okay?
Sure. I can do it.
Trust me, Ok Nyeo.
Sir. I'm sure they will call you to Sosoru.
I'll tell Man Ok to be there with you.
Don't worry.
Sure. Go ahead.
This doesn't feel right.
Did you want to see me?
- Please take a seat. - Yes, Ma'am.
I'd like to propose a deal.
If things go well, you'll earn twice as much...
money you lent us.
What kind of a deal are you talking about?
I assume you're aware that Ming's traders will come to buy ginseng.
Yes. We heard it from the merchants who often go to Ming.
Our organisation is planning on monopolising that trade.
I still don't know what you're suggesting.
Please invest all your money...
into this trade.
Pardon?
We can guarantee that this trade will leave a huge profit.
We're offering this opportunity only to you.
We don't have enough money for that.
That's right. You already know that we're having...
financial trouble because we offered money to you.
You should sell all your goods and take part in this deal.
This is a rare opportunity.
Thank you for suggesting,
but please count us out.
We really can't afford it. I'm sorry.
How pathetic. You're going to regret this later.
- Ma'am. - Yes.
Did you find the person who bought the ginseng?
Yes. His name is Jang Seong Poong.
I shall see him immediately. Send him a message.
Yes, Ma'am.
Sir. You can't be shivering already.
Pull yourself together.
She's right. You're going to ruin everything this way.
Hey. It's not something I can control.
Are you Sir Jang Seong Poong?
I'm Min Dong Joo.
Please sit down.
Sure.
- Let me pour you a drink. - Sure.
What...
What is it? Is there something on my face?
No. I'm sure we've never met,
but your face looks familiar.
Thank you.
I will approve his legal officer to stay for this trial.
Sir. Are you drunk already?
Gosh.
Anyway,
I heard that you want to trade ginseng.
- Pour me a drink. - I will.
You're right. I would like to buy the ginseng you have.
As you know, Lady Jung Nan Jung...
is backing our organisation.
We'll pay you handsomely. Please trade with us.
How much will you pay per geun?
Well, that is...
You're not making a recovery.
Myocardial infarction is an illness that we can't cure...
with the current medicine.
If you have another seizure and lose consciousness,
I won't be able to guarantee anything then.
Did you ask for me?
I heard that Yoon Tae Won quit Price Policy Division.
- Is that true? - It is, Your Majesty.
He created an organisation for legal officers with Ok Nyeo.
Jae Seo, I need you to go tell him I want to see him.
I need to talk to him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Clear stream
In the blue mountain
Do not
- Who are you? - Someone wants you. Come with me.
Who's looking for me?
You'll see soon.
No way.
You can't behave this rude to me.
Who are you?
Have a seat.
Sorry?
Sit down.
Well... Of course, I will sit down.
I took a seat now.
Lady Jung ordered me to bring you here.
Why would she want me?
Don't get scared.
Do you know anything...
about a woman who died in front of Jeonokseo...
in 1540?
Well... In 1540?
I wasn't working at Jeonokseo at that time.
Then do you know anyone who worked here back then?
I think... Right, it's Ji Chun Deuk.
He is a treasurer of Jeonokseo.
I'm sure he'll remember what happened back then.
I see.
Chun Deuk.
Do you have a minute?
Okay. What is it, Sir?
You've worked here longer than anyone else, right?
That's right.
It's already been 25 years...
since I became a treasurer.
Were you here in 1540, then?
In 1540? Yes, I was. What is it about?
Let's go have some drink with me.
Well, I don't drink.
I'll treat you nicely.
- Will your really? - Of course, I will.
I never thought you'd buy me drinks. Let's go, then.
It's hard to believe that you're treating me. Let's drink a lot.
How many more times should I tell you?
- Still, it's hard to believe. - Fine.
Welcome, Sirs.
It's been a long time.
Is the large room empty?
Yes, it is. Please go inside.
Right. Did you set the day for your wedding?
We won't make a big deal about our wedding.
We decided to have it simple.
I'm really relieved...
that you'll take Yoo Geum.
Yoo Geum is not a thing to take. How could you say that?
That's not what I meant.
Please go inside.
I'll serve you very nicely to celebrate your wedding.
No way. Officer Yoo said he'll pay for everything today.
Treat me another time.
- I told you I'll drink a lot. - No way, it's my turn.
- I'll serve you this time. - No thanks. Let's just go in.
It has to be my turn.
- Good. Please stop. - It's great.
- Let me pour you more. - No, please stop.
How can a new groom get drunk this easily?
I'm already drunk.
- Goodness. - Please drink it up.
Chun Deuk.
By the way, I have something to ask you.
Sure. Go ahead.
I will. I heard...
that someone died in front of Jeonokseo in 1540.
Is that true?
- In 1540? - Yes.
I don't remember well.
Try to remember.
I heard that a woman was stabbed to death.
A woman? Yes, right.
- That happened. - Really?
- Do you remember it? - Of course, I do.
I took the woman who was about to die...
- to Jeonokseo. - You did?
I did. I was right there when she gave birth to her baby.
What? Are you saying she was pregnant?
Yes. A female prisoner delivered the baby,
and the baby is...
my Ok Nyeo.
Ok Nyeo?
Is the baby really Ok Nyeo?
That is why...
Ok Nyeo was raised in Jeonokseo.
You didn't know about this?
I guess I forgot to tell you.
Your Majesty, Tae Won is locked up in Jeonokseo now.
What happened all of a sudden? Did he commit a crime?
I heard that he represented a suit as a legal officer...
and ended up imprisoned.
What?
Go tell the Police Bureau...
to release Tae Won immediately and bring him here.
I will, Your Majesty.
Sir.
Ok Nyeo.
What's going on? I thought your trial will be held tomorrow.
I don't know what's happening either.
Sir.
Let's get going.
To where?
Officer Han Jae Seo of Palace Guards told me to bring you to him.
You'll meet with the King.
Sit down.
Did you look into it?
I did, my lady.
Did Ga Bi give birth to her baby?
She did.
Did you find out what the baby is doing now?
My lady.
Do you know who the baby is?
Who is it?
The baby...
is Ok Nyeo.
What?
Your Majesty, did you ask for me?
Have a seat.
I heard you had to be locked up...
for nothing serious.
I'll hold the commissioner responsible...
for unfairly punishing you.
I'm very grateful, Your Majesty.
I have a favour to ask of you.
The boy I represented, Eon Nom,
is to be tried at Law Enforcement.
Please look into the case and help him.
The punishment will be much harsher than what he deserves.
I see.
I will look into the case.
Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty.
I called you over...
to tell you something urgently.
Yes, Your Majesty. I'm always at your command.
What I am about to tell you...
can never leave this room.
Yes, Your Majesty.
The royal physician said...
my illness cannot be cured, and I may die any day.
Your Majesty, please don't say such thing.
That is why...
I must tell you this.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Right now, Lord Yoon and Lady Jung...
know I care for Ok Nyeo...
and am keeping a watchful eye on them both.
They won't do anything to harm her in the near future.
However, if I lose consciousness again,
then I can't guarantee they won't try to harm Ok Nyeo...
or even me for that matter.
I need to ask you a favour.
Whatever happens,
I need you to protect Ok Nyeo.
Your Majesty.
Ok Nyeo.
