You must know that I should renounce the throne...
for the victims who sacrificed lives because of your greed.
Your Majesty.
If I can atone for your sin and honour the souls of those...
who died because of me,
I would...
gladly abdicate the throne...
or even pay with my life if I may.
Your Majesty. I apologise.
It's all my fault.
Please do not step down from the throne.
I won't change my mind.
Your Majesty. Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty!
Call the Royal Infirmary immediately.
Your Majesty, wake up!
Your Majesty. Can you open your eyes?
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty!
(Episode 50)
Come in.
I think you should stay here for a while.
Yes, Sir.
Cho Hee, I need you to go inside the Capital...
and find out what's going on there.
- I will. - And tell Chun Doong...
that we're staying here.
Tell him we're in the cottage in Mount Daedeok, then he'll know.
Yes, Sir.
Did the royal soldiers take Sir Kang Sun Ho?
Yes, Your Highness.
The King is the only one who can mobilise the royal soldiers, right?
The King has no reason to arrest Sir Kang...
and order the soldiers to drive us out of the Capital.
Maybe Lord Yoon and Jung Nan Jung...
did this without the King's permission.
There must be a reason why the King couldn't stop it.
I'm sure something happened to the King.
Your Majesty.
Did you ask for us?
Did you ask for us, my lord?
Is Special Prosecutor Yoon Tae Won...
one of those who are arrested by the Department of Justice?
No, my lord.
I heard that some of them were executed.
Was Tae Won one of them?
I checked the list of those who were beheaded myself,
but his name wasn't included.
I see.
Chief Palace Guard, listen carefully.
Yes, my lord.
The Queen Dowager ordered this on behalf of the King...
who's been ill Abed.
Mobilise all the soldiers and force right now...
to hunt down all the traitors who are in hiding...
and arrest every single of them.
Yes, my lord.
And I should be the very first one to know...
when you find Yoon Tae Won.
Yes, my lord.
Now go into action.
- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.
Move!
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
My lord, we must use this opportunity to root out our enemies.
What happened to Tae Won and Ok Nyeo?
I apologise, my lady.
We lost Tae Won and Ok Nyeo.
What? I told you to make sure to get them.
How did you lose them?
When we were about to get rid of Ok Nyeo,
Tae Won turned up with his subjects.
I apologise.
You shouldn't have done something to apologise for!
As long as they're alive,
it's not over yet.
Mobilise all the forces including private and the royal soldiers,
and even the Police Bureau to get rid of the two.
Yes, my lady.
If you fail again, I will not forgive you.
Understood?
I'll keep that in mind.
I apologise, Sir.
I haven't found where Ok Nyeo and Tae Won are yet.
How useless!
You used to be a spy.
How could you fail to find out where they are?
Deok Bae and Sang Doo.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Keep a close watch on those who are close to Ok Nyeo and Tae Won.
They'll try to contact them even when they're on the run.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
I need you to stake Jeonokseo out.
Yes, Sir.
Now go.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
How could this happen?
Jung Nan Jung is released so easily...
and she's become more overbearing than ever.
When will I become Lord Yoon's official wife?
You said...
if I pray with all my heart, the universe would help me.
Stop it.
You should be more patient.
I can see Jung Nan Jung dying, coughing up blood...
before my eyes right now.
You must bide your time.
Will Nan Jung really die, vomiting blood?
Jung Nan Jung...
will be punished and die.
The problem is you should be pregnant with Lord Yoon's baby...
in order to become his official wife.
Why are you not sleeping with him?
Of course I did.
I did sleep with him several times already.
When was the last time?
I think it was the day Jung Nan Jung was taken to the Censorate...
and Lord Yoon was put under house arrest.
I entertained him with liquor to console him.
We spent the night together.
Then, there's no need to worry. I'm sure...
you'll be pregnant this time.
Are you sure?
Or you can behead me.
Hello.
Follow me.
Sorry?
Don't stand there. I said follow me.
Yes, my lady.
You know you should behave carefully...
when you're pregnant.
I had things to take care of.
You mean having a meeting with a shaman?
No way. I didn't meet any shamans.
I already know...
that you discussed with a shaman and even brought her into the house.
There's only one reason I'd forgive you.
It's because you're pregnant with Lord Yoon's baby.
If this turns out to be a lie again,
I'll make sure you pay the price.
I guess...
you'll pod up soon.
Let's wait and see.
Now leave.
Yes, my lady.
Fine. Let's wait and see.
I'll see you cough up blood and die with my own eyes.
My goodness.
Seong Poong! Are you in? Seong Poong!
- My goodness. - You're here.
Sir, what on earth is going on inside the Capital?
Please tell us.
We can't reach Ok Nyeo, and Sir Sung has been arrested.
I'm so worried.
Officer Sung has been arrested by the Department of Justice...
for plotting treason.
Sorry? Treason? Why would he do that?
What's worse is Ok Nyeo is involved in the plot as well.
- Pardon? - Ok Nyeo is?
Department of Justice and Police Bureau are searching for her now.
There are her composite sketches all over the marketplace.
That's ridiculous.
Ok Nyeo would never plot treason. They must have been mistaken.
He's right, Sir. She must have been framed.
I have no idea what's going on.
Anyway, that's the reason why the Capital is so chaotic now.
Then, what about our organisation?
Will we also be framed as traitors because we helped Ok Nyeo?
I don't know.
- Sir. - For now,
I have no idea how it will develop in which direction.
So you should take care of yourselves.
You know the tiger fur and otter skin we bought recently.
Take good care of them because they're expensive.
- Okay. - Don't answer for the sake of it.
- Gosh. - What is it?
Hey, what's going on?
Look.
Aren't they Tae Won and Ok Nyeo?
- No way. - Let's take a closer look.
Excuse me.
- It's them, right? - I think so.
Let's go.
What do you mean Tae Won is a traitor?
Are... Are you sure?
I heard that the officials in the Palace plotted treason,
and Tae Won and Ok Nyeo are engaged.
All the law enforcement agencies are searching high and low...
to find Tae Won and Ok Nyeo.
There are composite sketches of them in the marketplace.
They'll be executed right away if they're caught, then.
Sir, please visit Lord Yoon now...
and beg him to save Tae Won.
That won't work.
What do you mean, Sir?
Lord Yoon let the situation worsen this much...
because he gave up on Tae Won.
- Please, Sir! - Sir!
It will be useless.
We must find Tae Won as soon as possible and help him.
Gosh, how could he be accused of treason?
Sir.
You must be hungry. Please have some.
Yes, Your Highness.
When did you prepare all this?
We don't have much to eat. It didn't take me long.
All I prepared are soy sauce and steamed barley.
Please have some.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I remember when I was on the run with you...
after I was framed...
as a murderer of Sir Park Tae Soo.
I think the days I spent with you...
here are...
the happiest time in my life.
It looks tasty.
What are you doing?
I will eat later. Please enjoy.
Come sit down.
Lord Yoon...
and Jung Nan Jung were trying...
to kill you back then as well.
They always...
did.
I apologise, Your Highness.
There's nothing for you to apologise for.
You also suffered many times...
because of your tie with me.
Your Highness, I've never thought...
that I suffered because of you.
See? Therefore,
we both have no reason to apologise to each other.
The ones who must pay the price are Lord Yoon,
Jung Nan Jung and the Queen Dowager.
Please eat some.
Yes, Your Highness.
Go find them.
- Search high and low! - Yes, Sir!
Move!
Gosh. What's going on?
What on earth is happening now?
- Let's go to the office. - Okay.
I think it's pretty bad.
I know.
Sir.
Where is Yoon Tae Won now?
I do not know, Sir.
Why don't you tell me, then?
- I have no idea, Sir. - How dare you!
If you harbour a traitor, you'll be deemed to be a traitor, too.
Name the places he'd go if you want to spare your life.
I said I do not know, Sir.
Take them to the Department of Justice.
- Yes, Sir. - Sir.
- We said we know nothing. - We really do not know.
- Let go of me! - Sir!
- Why are you doing this to us? - Ma'am!
Do you know anything, Myung Seon?
You're close to Sir Yoon.
How did he get involved in a revolt?
I don't know.
This is so frustrating.
Let's go and see what we can find out.
Okay.
Let me help.
Man Soo.
Hello, Sir.
Take it easy today.
What's going on?
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
It doesn't look good.
Man Soo, sit down.
The marketplace is practically empty.
Is something going on?
I'm not sure.
- Should we pray for our business? - I think we should.
- Find a good shaman. - Okay.
Help her.
Give me that.
- Your food's here. - Good. Thank you.
Come and sit down. What's all this?
I was feeling cranky so I ordered food and wine from the inn.
- Let's eat. You, too. - Thank you.
- Eat up. - Shall we?
Look at all this meat.
- It's so good. - Chun Doong.
- Hello, Man Ok. - Man Ok.
- Why are you here? Did you miss me? - You idiots.
This is no time to be eating and drinking.
Is something wrong?
Sir Yoon and Ok Nyeo...
are wanted for taking part in a revolt.
What? A revolt?
- How? - I don't know.
What's going on? Why are they traitors?
Will they be okay?
Cho Hee, what's going on? Where's Ok Nyeo?
She's at Mount Daedeok. She wants you to come to her.
Mount Daedeok? Okay, got it.
Man Soo, pack some food right away.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Those fools.
Stop.
Will you not confess to your crimes?
You can hold out as long as you can,
but it won't change the fact that you took part in a revolt.
Confess your crimes.
Where is your conscience?
You threatened the King...
and are framing us for treason.
- You are the real traitors! - Shut your mouth!
How dare you make such preposterous claims!
How dare you!
None of you will get out of this alive.
If you want a painless death,
confess your crimes.
Torture me all you want.
Pain is not what I fear.
Oh, really?
I'll let you have your way.
Don't just stand there! Keep torturing him!
Yes, my lord.
The King...
will never forgive you for this.
He will execute you for what you have done!
Shut your mouth!
Come on. Torture the lot of them!
- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.
Your Majesty, Court Lady Kim is here.
Your Majesty, she said it's urgent.
Your Majesty.
Let her in.
Come in.
What is it?
Your Majesty.
The Queen Dowager...
is gravely ill.
The physician said...
you might have to prepare for her death.
What?
Your Majesty.
What do you mean I must prepare for her death?
Lord Yoon.
The Queen Dowager's gravely ill.
What?
Your Majesty.
Mother.
How is she?
I am sorry to say...
there is no way to revive her.
I apologise, Your Majesty.
Kill me for my incompetence.
- Please understand, Your Majesty. - Please understand, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
You must make Prince Bongseon take his own life.
- Must I? - Yes, Your Majesty.
A group of evil men posted notices...
around Yangjae in a bid to...
enthrone Prince Bongseon instead of you.
That means he practically took part in the rebellion.
But...
to have him killed?
Prince Bongseon is my brother.
Your Majesty.
You cannot rely on personal ties when it comes to being a ruler.
He cannot be forgiven.
- But... - Your Majesty.
It's not just Prince Bongseon.
Lord Heo and Lord Lee also took part in the rebellion...
and they must be punished for doing so.
Your Majesty. We have evidence that...
Yoon Yeo Pil and Yoon Sam also took part.
The leaders of the rebellion were...
Yoon In and Yoon Won Ro.
They must also be punished severely.
Your Majesty, to calm the people and strengthen your reign,
you must kill Prince Bongseon...
and punish everyone he had contact with severely.
Your Majesty. Please accept our advice.
- Please accept our advice. - Please accept our advice.
Mother.
I am afraid of the court meetings.
Why?
All the ministers want me to do...
is kill my brothers and relatives.
That scares me, Mother.
Your Majesty.
Do not cry.
You cannot shed tears so freely.
- Mother. - I told you not to cry.
You are Joseon's ruler.
A weak man cannot rule a whole nation.
I apologise, Mother.
Do you not like politics?
Does it scare you?
Do not worry.
I am right here by your side.
I will take care of...
all the things that scare you.
You just have to...
listen to me and do as I say.
So do not cry, Your Majesty.
I will...
do everything for you.
Mother, how do you feel?
Your Majesty.
Yes, Mother.
I am right here.
Where's the physician?
Come and check her condition.
No, Your Majesty.
Leave me be.
Mother.
Do not worry.
There's still a lot I must do.
Mother.
I need to see you have a son.
I have to see...
you and Lord Yoon...
and Nan Jung make amends.
I'd like to see that.
Also,
I will take down those who get in your way.
I will...
Mother.
Do not cry, Your Majesty.
I will...
take care of it for you.
- Mother. - I will...
take care of...
everything instead of you.
Mother.
Mother!
- Mother! - Your Majesty!
Mother. Mother.
Your Majesty.
- No, Your Majesty! - Your Majesty.
- Please wake up. - Open your eyes.
Mother. Where's the physician?
Your Majesty.
Mother.
You can't leave me all alone. Mother.
Mother, don't leave me. Mother!
Mother.
Mother!
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty. - Check his condition.
- Take him to his chambers. - Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
No!
My sister...
Don't go!
You can't leave me.
Your Majesty...
Have you heard from Prince Hawon?
Yes, Nan Jung. They want to set a date.
That is good news. Shin Hye.
You must be prepared.
- Yes, Mother. - Come on now.
Why do you look so sad when this is a joyful occasion?
I think the upcoming nuptials made her feel nervous.
Shin Hye, when you become Queen,
you must do what the Queen Dowager did for her family.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Nan Jung. Nan Jung.
I have terrible news.
- What is it? - The Queen Dowager...
- The Queen Dowager... - What about her?
The Queen Dowager passed away.
What?
What do you mean?
Why so suddenly?
She fainted after arguing with the King...
and never recovered.
Nan Jung.
Mother, what should we do?
How could this happen? How and why?
Soon Shim.
Give me some more time. I'm Dong Chang.
That's what you always say.
Wait, Soon Shim. Come over here.
Move.
Will you look at this?
Why are they wanted?
- Do you know them? - I know them very well.
They ruined my life.
Then catch them and claim the reward.
I plan to do just that.
Soon Shim, you go on ahead. I'll be right there.
Let's go. Hang on, Man Soo.
- I told you to pack some food. - Oh, right.
He's such a moron.
Did you say Mount Daedeok?
- Yes. - Okay.
- Let's go. - See you.
Soon Shim, I might be able to make us rich.
My lord.
Nan Jung.
I offer my condolences.
Come inside with me.
How did she pass on so suddenly?
Did she leave any last words for you?
No.
How is the King?
He was already frail and this shocked him badly.
He is bedridden.
My lord.
I know you are grieving,
but this is no time to let go and give up.
We must use the timing to our advantage.
This is our chance.
The Queen Dowager is dead...
and the King is too ill to hold court.
We must continue where the Queen Dowager left off.
Gather the soldiers and guards...
and track down everyone involved.
You must also kill off the men you are questioning.
Also,
find Ok Nyeo and Tae Won and...
kill them as well.
My lord, the King is ill in bed...
because his condition worsened.
You cannot waste this opportunity.
You are so ruthless and frightening.
I just lost an older sister.
How can you tell me to kill my son, too?
I understand.
I apologise for pushing you.
But you must finish the tasks...
that you started.
The Queen Dowager's sudden passing...
will throw everything into turmoil.
To prevent that, you must mobilise the men you were entrusted with...
and put an end to the confusion.
Arrest the rebels...
and make sure you get a confession from the men you arrested so far.
We must also find someone to replace the current king.
- Hurry up, will you? - Are we there yet?
Walk faster. There's no time.
- Are Ok Nyeo and Tae Won safe? - Yes.
Let's hurry. Walk faster, Man Soo.
Come on.
Tae Won. Are they in?
I'm glad you came.
- Hello, Man Soo. - Hello.
- Were you hurt? - No.
- Come inside. - Okay.
Put that down.
What on earth is going on?
You two can't be traitors. That makes no sense.
- What? - Traitors?
- Did you say we're traitors? - Cho Hee, what happened?
The Queen Dowager framed her opposition and you for treason.
All the Queen Janggyeong's family including Sir Kang Sun Ho...
and Sung Ji Heon are under interrogation right now.
Lord Lee Jeong Myeong died in the process.
Are you saying they killed Lord Lee?
Yes.
Some of our agents were also executed for treason.
Every one of palace guard, soldier at the Department of Justice...
and the Police Bureau are out there looking for you.
They also put up your picture in the marketplace.
Did something happen to the King?
All of this...
happened while he was unconscious due to his heart disease.
What?
What happened to the King?
I failed to find that out.
Your Highness.
I can never forgive them.
How could they raise an army while the King is sick?
They're the traitors.
Yes, Your Highness.
I can't stand their evil deeds any more.
Sir. We should stop running away.
- Your Highness. - No matter what,
we should help the King who is isolated in the Palace.
Is there a way?
Nan Jung.
How is Lord Yoon?
He's devastated.
This might ruin everything.
His sister who he has been relying on is now dead.
You should understand how he must feel.
Yes, Nan Jung. Maybe you should give him some time to grieve.
But...
the death of the Queen Dowager...
can be a rare opportunity for us.
Nobody in the Palace will stop us from choosing the heir now.
You're right about that.
The King has to deal with the funeral.
It will keep him from watching and suppressing you and Lord Yoon.
This is a good opportunity to accomplish our plan.
Yes.
Did you find Ok Nyeo and Tae Won?
Not only my men...
but also the Police Bureau and the palace guards are looking for them.
We'll find them soon.
The Queen Dowager passed away.
Pardon?
That means...
The political situation will become chaotic soon.
If Ok Nyeo takes this opportunity...
to gather forces using her status as a princess,
she will become a bigger problem for us.
We should find them as soon as possible and kill them.
We have no time to waste.
- Do you understand? - Yes, my lady.
Gosh. What should I do?
Should I tell them where Ok Nyeo is and ask for forgiveness?
No.
I won't get the reward then.
Darn it.
Ma'am.
Yes.
Did you find Dong Chang?
I'm sorry. We haven't found him yet.
What? Are you saying he's still alive?
If you want to live, bring him to me right now. Do you understand?
Yes, Ma'am.
- Find him. - Yes, Sir.
I'm going to Jeonokseo. Finish up for me.
- Yes, Sir. - Officer Yang.
What brings you here?
May I talk to you for a second?
What? What are you doing?
I saw the wanted posters of...
Ok Nyeo and Tae Won in the marketplace.
I heard they're charged with treason and the police are after them.
Is this true?
It is. Why do you ask?
Actually,
I know where they are.
Is that true?
Where are they? Tell me.
If I...
tell you where they are, I'll get the reward, right?
Of course.
If Ok Nyeo and Tae Won get caught, it will change your life.
You'll have caught the traitors. The reward will be huge.
Tell me where they are.
All right.
Halfway up the Mount Daedeok, there is a house.
That's where Ok Nyeo and Tae Won are hiding.
A house in Mount Daedeok?
Great. I will bring the police force...
and catch them right now. Wait for it.
After we catch them, I will make sure you get the reward.
Really? Thank you, Officer Yang.
Don't worry and just go have a drink.
- Thank you. Thank you, Sir. - Sure.
Thank you.
- Gosh. - Please come often.
Hi. Come here.
What is it?
Bring me some nice wine and food.
What? I can't take it any more.
What are you doing? I told you to bring me wine.
Don't make me laugh.
You ran away without paying the last time.
Pay me first before asking for food.
Gosh. You shouldn't be obsessing over that petty cash.
My life is about to turn around.
I will buy you a good man.
Are you crazy?
I don't need a good man.
Dong Chang. You don't have to pay me.
Just make my dear Officer Yang come home.
All right. Now go and get me some food.
When will my darling come home?
Goodness.
Gosh, Soon Shim. We're going to be rich now.
Dong Chang.
Look who it is.
What brings you here?
Just come out for a second.
Gosh, Officer Yang must've sent him.
- Jeong Soo. - Gosh, Dong Chang.
I heard you got your own store.
Gosh, you look nice.
Let's go inside. I'll buy you a drink.
Dong Chang. I'm not here to drink.
- Why are you here then? - I'm here to beat you up.
Hey. Get him.
What are you doing, you punks? Let go of me.
Jeong Soo! Why are you doing this to me?
Stop.
Dong Chang. You must know why I'm doing this.
- Take him. - Gosh.
That brat.
- Treasurer Ji. - Yes, Sir.
What is happening? Why is Ok Nyeo branded as a traitor?
Excuse me? Ok Nyeo is a traitor?
What are you talking about?
Were you too busy trying to fool me? How can you not know about this?
Ok Nyeo is accused of treason and being pursued right now.
That's nonsense.
How can a princess be a traitor?
What are you saying? Why is Ok Nyeo a princess?
Goodness.
What?
Ok Nyeo is a princess.
Something is wrong.
She can't be a traitor.
This is driving me crazy.
Start from why Ok Nyeo is a princess.
Her mother who died here...
was a court maid who spent a night with the former king.
It's certain that Ok Nyeo is a princess.
- What? A princess? - That's...
Is Ok Nyeo really a princess?
Wait.
Wait. It's me, Chun Doong.
Chun Doong. You look so cool now.
What brings you here?
Is Sir Gong inside?
Of course he is.
What is it?
I'll tell you inside.
- Let's go in. - All right.
Sir. Chun Doong is here.
Hello, Sir.
It's been a while, Chun Doong.
Sir. I just met Tae Won.
- What? Tae Won? - Tae Won?
Are you saying he's alive?
- He is. - He's alive.
Tae Won asked me to give you this.
- Tae Won. - Tae Won.
- Tae Won. - Sir.
Let me see.
Is it okay for you to go around like this?
The wanted posters of you and Ok Nyeo are...
all over the Capital.
- What on earth happened? - Yes. What happened?
I have a favour to ask of you.
What is it? Tell me.
What are we going to do?
How should I know?
- Where is Ok Nyeo? - I don't know that.
Gosh, I don't know what's happening.
- Sir Cha is here. - Yes.
- Hello. - Hello, Sir.
- Please sit down. - Yes.
We came because we got her letter, but I'm not sure this is okay.
What if we get accused of treason, too?
I know. Gosh.
That won't happen.
- Ma'am. - Ok Nyeo.
Where have you been?
Where have you been? We were so worried about you.
- Please sit. - Gosh.
I know it wasn't easy for you to come. Thank you.
You took part in a revolt.
What are you going to do?
I'm not a traitor.
This is Lord Yoon and Lady Jung's plot.
This is a slander.
Excuse me?
We thought so,
but things are looking serious.
So, what are you going to do?
Is there a way to get out of it?
Yes. That's why I came here to talk to you.
- Take a look at this first. - Okay.
- This is... - Isn't this...
- I'm sorry I kept you waiting. - Ma'am.
Are you sure no one followed you?
Yes. Don't worry.
I assume Man Soo told you.
Yes, Ma'am. He said you need us to do something.
What is it?
I need you to gather all the guards of...
our organisation and the other organisations we rallied.
If it's possible, gather the scoundrels down town.
- Yes, Ma'am. - Yes, Ma'am.
Did you meet Sir Gong?
Yes, Your Highness.
How did it go for you?
Dong Chang found out about our hideout in Mount Daedeok.
We should move.
- Your Highness. - How did it go?
As you ordered, I gathered the agents.
I see. Thank you.
By the way, have you heard?
Heard what?
The Queen Dowager passed away.
That's...
The Queen Dowager passed away? Why did she pass away so suddenly?
I don't know why she died,
but everyone in the Palace is confused due to her sudden death.
Did you hear anything about how the King is doing?
No, I didn't.
Your Highness. Are you okay?
I don't know what I'm feeling.
I haven't been able to take revenge on them for my mother,
but the Queen Dowager died.
I don't know if I'm dejected or relieved.
One thing is for sure. This is an opportunity for us.
Yes, Your Highness. Her family has lost their leader.
They must be confused and frustrated.
If we strike them before they overcome the crisis,
we'll be able to resolve our situation now.
Cho Hee. I'll give you a letter. Deliver it to Young Ji.
Tell Young Ji to deliver it to the King...
through Court Lady Han.
To the King?
That's right. He must get this letter no matter what.
He will send me a reply then.
You must get his reply.
Yes, Your Highness.
Do you...
want me to deliver this to the King?
That's right. You must deliver it to the King through Court Lady Han.
Princess Ok Nyeo's life depends on it.
Can you do it?
Yes. I will try.
Wait.
Yes, Sir.
You're one of the court maids of the Queen Dowager.
Why are you here at the King's chamber?
Court Lady Kim...
told me to deliver words to the King's court ladies.
I'm here to deliver her words.
I see. You may go.
Yes, Sir.
Does it mean Princess Ok Nyeo is alive?
Yes, Ma'am.
She told me to deliver this letter to the King.
Is the person who brought this letter outside?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Tell everyone to leave and bring in that person right now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You seem to be a court maid.
Where do you work at?
I work at the Queen Dowager's chamber, Your Majesty.
The Queen Dowager's chamber?
Then...
how do you know Ok Nyeo?
When she was a clerk at Sogyeokseo,
I was a warden there.
I've been helping her since then.
Yes, Your Majesty.
She has helped me a lot as well.
You can trust her, Your Majesty.
I'll give you a letter.
Can you secretly deliver it to Ok Nyeo?
Yes, Your Majesty. I will do as you command.
- Hurry up. - There he is.
- Tae Won. - Tae Won.
- Tae Won. - Sir.
Thank you for coming.
Don't mention it. Of course we came.
He's right.
By the way, what are we supposed to do?
I'll tell you in a minute.
What? Okay.
Sir.
Sir. Where is Ok Nyeo?
She's okay, right?
Please wait. You'll see her soon.
We came because she told me to,
but I'm not sure this is okay.
- He's right. - Everyone.
Thank you for coming.
I know I'm accused of treason,
but I never plotted a revolt.
Princess Ok Nyeo is innocent as well.
Did you say princess?
Princess?
- Your Highness. - Your Highness.
- What? - What's going on?
What... What is happening?
Ok Nyeo.
Did he just say Ok Nyeo is a princess?
Well... I think so.
- Sir. - Yes, Your Highness.
Each one of you have been...
fighting against Lord Yoon, Lady Jung...
and the rest of their family in your own way.
And now,
their evilness...
has reached an extreme.
They arrested Queen Janggyeong's family...
including Sir Kang Sun Ho and Sung Ji Heon...
without the King's permission.
In the process, so many people lost their lives.
Also,
they're branding her and me as traitors, so they can kill us.
If things get worse,
It's obvious that they'll try to kill all of you.
Now,
we must move systematically.
Therefore,
I'm neither a warden of Jeonokseo nor the head merchant.
As a princess of the nation, I'll lead you.
To clear the name of innocent Sir Yoon,
to help the King who's locked inside the Palace...
and to punish the Queen Dowager's followers,
now is about time that you made a move together.
The King has given me the order.
He'll deal with those inside the Palace.
So we should take care of those outside the Palace.
You're here. Did you look into it?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Most of the royal soldiers who are under the control of Ki Choon Soo...
went out of the Palace to find Tae Won and Ok Nyeo.
To mobilise the soldiers, you should give an order now.
Very well.
Jae Seo.
Deliver this letter to the chief of Second Palace Guards.
Bring all the palace guards and go to the Department of Justice...
and inform the the royal order.
You should also rescue all of our people...
including Kang Sun Ho and Officer Sung from there.
Also,
arrest Ki Choon Soo and Chief Palace Guard...
who mobilised the royal soldiers...
without my permission.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
It's fine.
Listen, Minister of Justice!
What is it? Why did you bring soldiers?
I'm Officer Han Jae Seo of Palace Guards.
The King ordered to release the prisoners!
Obey the royal order!
Stand back!
You must obey the royal order...
and follow the direction of Officer Han.
Why are you standing there? Obey the royal order now.
Lower the weapons!
Yes, Sir.
Stand back!
Open the door now.
Why are you here?
The King ordered your release.
Open the door right now.
Yes, Sir.
Good. Let's go.
What are you doing here?
Chief Palace Guard and Ki Choon Soo, obey the royal order now!
- What do you think you're doing? - It's the King's order!
Follow the order.
You're the chief of Second Palace Guards.
Sir, the nation is chaotic now.
You should be more careful than ever.
I will.
- Let's get going. - Okay.
Who are you? What are you doing here?
I came here to take you under the Princess' order.
What? What's gotten into your head?
Throw them out!
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Gosh!
How dare you!
Shut it now!
Nan Jung. My lord.
It's bad. You should escape now.
What's going on?
Ok Nyeo and Tae Won brought private soldiers here.
What?
Gosh.
(The Flower in Prison)
I'm worried that we'll all be doomed this way.
What do you mean?
Lord Yoon and Nan Jung still possess a strong power.
It's useless now.
We must find our way out now.
- Dong Joo. - We must have a plan.
- Sir. - Why did you want to see me?
I'd like to offer a deal to you.
A deal?
I heard that you're trying to arrest...
Lord Yoon and Lady Jung.
I'll tell you where they're now.
Where are they?
