Rakuten Viki - A Viki Original [Grand Prince]

- Episode 12 -

I'm asking you what you can offer me, Lady.

Every deal comes at a cost.

If you decide to accept a deal,

you can find me again that time.

Your Excellency.

Your friend found me. Send her back.

This isn't the best time.

You've come to the wrong person to implore to.

The one who made your man die isn't His Excellency.

Didn't you know?

The one who reported Grand Prince Eun Seong's treason

was no one else but your father.

Is he feeling okay?

After writing the report of treason and attempting suicide,

they say his suicide was barely stopped.

Are you slandering my father, too, now?

You're the only one who didn't know, I see. Ask about it when you get home.

It's no different from your father giving Grand Prince Eun Seong poison.

Remember this clearly.

Your household killed Grand Prince Eun Seong.

He'll die because of you!

Would you like to have a drink before you go off to bed?

It's raining. The rice wine has also been fermented well.

Is Lady Ja Hyeon outside still?

She has gone back home.

She seemed to have walked here by herself. Did you get her a palanquin?

This isn't the time for us to treat her well.

It's raining so much on this night.

Are you saying that you sent her back without an umbrella?

It was what she wanted.

Ja Hyeon, what are you doing there?

Why are you getting hit by the rain here? Let's go in.

It's not true, right? What you did?

Let's get in first.

- Let's go. - Say it isn't true!

Say that it wasn't you who's going to make His Highness die.

I did it to save you.

You have killed me.

Do you think I can live in a world without His Highness?

You aren't the only person in this household. Your mother and brother

are all people I need to protect in this family!

How thankful I am.

Since you have killed my lover to save me, your kindness

just cuts through me.

How ungrateful of you. It was a decision made to save our family.

After that, he was in such agony that he chose to attempt suicide.

Had the chief royal secretary not saved him,

you wouldn't have been able to act in such a wicked manner towards him like today.

Please stop, my wife. It is all my fault.

Is your love the only thing that's heartbreaking? Is your man the only one important?

Can you not even see your parents? Does your family not matter to you?

I will not see anyone make my man hurt.

Can you not see the feelings your father had when he took that path?

Can you not see his blood and tears?

I can see all those gushing out even now.

Come to your senses. What do we do with Hwi?

How are we going to save him?

In the north, I could save him.

Hwi also saved me many times, too.

But, here? I can't do that.

I can't even enter the palace.

You have to do it.

It was a situation made to remove you.

You already know how much kindness I owe her.

Why would I have filled the happiest day of my life with blood?

Why would I do that?

But, her father reported you of treason.

That report is evidence that has made it into an unmovable truth.

He most likely wanted to save his family.

Someone most likely coerced the Chief Scholar into his choice.

So he wanted to wash his sins through death.

You only have a firm belief in your innocence.

Your wrongdoing

There is proof.

I must see Queen Dowager.

She is the only one I can ask of a favor.

For now, I will let her palace know.

And, what about a visit to the prison?

I am not in control over that.

Isn't there another path? If you tell us the way...

There isn't much I can do,

but doesn't money open all the paths in the world?

Tell one of the men in your household to take the lead.

- It isn't somewhere for women to be going in and out. - Your father would never.

Maybe Young Master?

You've arrived?

- I'll trust you. - Yes, yes.

Please follow me.

This way.

Keep it short.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, it's me.

Ja Hyeon is here.

Ja Hyeon!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt anywhere?

Did you go through torture?

Even if they falsely accused me as a traitor,

they can't touch the kindred of the King so easily.

I feel wronged at heart. But my body is okay.

Why did you

come to this wretched place?

I didn't want you to see me like this.

Is your family alright?

What about Roo Si Gae? What happened to her?

I am keeping her with me.

Is your father safe?

Please forgive me.

No. Don't forgive me.

My family made you go through this suffering.

You must hate them and resent them.

Father is already living in hell.

I would've done the same.

If I could save you,

if I could protect my family,

I would've done even more terrible things.

Don't hate your father.

At first, I couldn't understand why he did it,

and I resented him for what he did.

But then I realized that

it was what saved you from the misfortune of being family to a traitor

and I couldn't be grateful enough.

He put his life at stake

and fervently denied it.

I cannot fogive him.

I will rectify his mistake

and save you.

Don't be like that.

I can't put your family in danger

so that I can live.

Your Highness!

On our wedding day,

you looked so beautiful.

But we ended up like this before we even exchanged our vows.

When I fall asleep,

I dream of that day.

In the dream, I am a happy groom.

I smile at you

I take off your headpiece

But...

Haven't we gone through worse in the past?

There were days that you thought I was dead.

We never gave up even back then.

Let's not give up. Let's not get weary.

Since we are alive, there's still hope.

No matter what happens... believe me.

No matter what happens...

do not give up hope.

Be quiet! If we get caught, we'll be in big trouble!

You're going to meet the chief royal secretary?

He is the brother of the Queen Dowager.

I'll tell him that father's report of treason wasn't true.

If we tell the Queen Mother of the Grand Prince's innocence,

Then we can clear him of the false accusations, can't we?

You fool. Then our father is going to end up dead!

Do you want to kill your father to save your man?

Do you want to ruin our family?

I did my duty as your brother by letting you see Prince Eun Seong.

Since I granted your wish, keep your promise and stop messing with Father.

Ja Hyeon, if Father tries to hang himself again

will you be satisfied?

Your Majesty, the Chief Scholar's daughter is requesting an audience.

Will you see her?

It's the family that pushed my son to death for their own survival.

It's the family that pushed my son to his death for their own survival.

Forget it! I never again want to

associate with that family.

Her Highness is not in a good mood right now.

It will be difficult to meet her today.

I will wait.

Lady!

It's okay if it gets late. It's okay even if I have to stay up the night.

I must see her Highness.

If it's about settling Prince Eun Seong's case, you should meet

Prince Jin Yang, not the Queen Dowager.

Well, Prince Jin Yang is the Prime Minister, and his brother-in-law is the Minister of Law.

Even if she wanted to save Prince Eun Seong,

she is helpless if the ministers oppose.

It's Prince Jin Yang's world now.

Then what will you give me?

Is there something grand that you wish to exchange for Eun Seong's life?

Since we are alive, there's still hope.

No matter what happens, do not give up hope.

Lady! Lady!

Lady wake up!

Lady! Oh Lady!

Lady!

Lady, are you regaining consciousness?

The doctor was here.

He said that you haven't eaten for a couple of days.

You were standing all day in the sun in an empty stomach, so you collapsed from exhaustion.

Where am I?

Prince Jin Yang who was returning home

escorted you here when you were unconscious.

Bringing a noble woman to a brothel

is an insult.

It's a different situation from the last time you came here.

So you recognize me?

Gisaengs have sharp eyes.

I will call a palanquin for you.

I want to meet the Prince.

Lady...

There should be one reason as to why you came to see me.

But, I cannot do anything about your wish.

My brother, Eun Seong,

will be subject to this nation's laws.

Do you still want me?

I'm not sure.

I will offer you all of me.

Even if offered the entire country or the entire sky,

I do not regard it as

more precious than a person's life.

So, I will

offer all of me and myself

to you, Your Excellency.

Kill me and let His Highness live.

I believe that the path to my father repaying for his sin

is a path where I am thrown aside.

Do as you wish.

♪ Living and living ♪

Is coming to me

the same as dying to you?

You'd come to me

to die?

Even if he is young,

shaking the former King's chosen successor,

he has brought forth the rebels.

He murdered ministers such as the Minister of Interior,

Please punish Prince Eun Sung Lee Hwi who has caused chaos.

He has posed as a threat to the royal family.

He must be beheaded.

Please rescind Prince Eun Sung Lee Hwi's royal position,

By showing the tragic consequence of a traitor.

We must ensure there are no more royal family members who desire succession to the throne.

Grand Prince Eun Seong must be beheaded!

Grand Prince Eun Seong must be beheaded!

No matter how severe his wrongdoing is,

I cannot kill a Grand Prince, my son, with my own hands.

Instead of beheading him, we must exile him and give him a chance to be sorry.

No, Your Highness.

If you show empathy to a traitor,

it will send a wrong message,

please show your allegiance to the law of the nation.

He must be beheaded, Your Highness!

How can you be so cruel?

It hasn't even been a long time since the late King passed away.

Are you telling me to lose another son?

Do not personally think of him as your son,

but as a person who threatened the King's throne.

No, I cannot. Even if he has committed a wrongdoing,

we cannot behead a Grand Prince!

Please think of the future descendants, Your Majesty.

Please understand, Your Highness.

Even though my brother, Grand Prince Eun Seong, deserves to die,

With continuing tragidies in the royal family the morale of the people is low.

The Queen Mother's worries have reached the heavens.

It'd be embarrassing for a member of the royal family to be seen by the people.

As a son, I am deeply ashamed.

Although the rebellion was evil, the King is safe.

Since the Queen Regent's is suffering greatly,

if we send him to a place where he can reflect on his actions,

the generosity of the royal family will be known far and wide.

While rebels have confessed,

the accused Prince is denying all allegations.

We should keep him alive so that we will have the wherewithal,

to search for an unjust reason that may exist.

Let us accept

Queen Dowager's ways.

Out of his desire for personal gains, he waged a rebellion.

Grand Prince Eun Seong, Lee Hwi,

will lose his title of Minister of Defence along with all its attendant privileges.

He deserves to die for the crimes he committed,

but considering his military service in the North and being a direct relation to the King,

he will be sent to Gyodong Island on an exile.

Live your whole life being sorry and reflecting on yourself.

- Your Highness. - Our lives were spared.

We should be thankful to my mother and the King.

Oh, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Your Highness!

Why would you come here? The wind is cold due to the river.

I wanted to at least see your face once.

This isn't the last time.

This can't be the end for us.

Wait a little longer.

I will return to you. I will.

Take me. I want to go, too.

Protect the lady.

It's a favor I'm asking of you.

Still, unlike the past, I know where you will be.

I will know that you're alive.

Unlike the time when you were out in the war,

I will be in less agony.

I will send you letters.

I'll be able to send letters from there.

I will respond to you.

You must get on the ship.

Even if you leave now, it takes two days.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

You have made a mistake.

You should've removed Eun Seong during this opportunity.

Did you become weak because he was your family?

The governor of Gyodong Island is

the son of Doh Yeon Soo, who was killed by the rebels.

The enemy who has killed his father has fallen into his hands.

Don't you think he'd do something about it?

Even if I cannot do it directly,

if we send someone from here, he'd acquiesce.

Making the Queen Regent an enemy was burdensome as well.

After the rebels confessed and Chief Scholar reported treason,

Eun Seong, who miraculously survived from the north,

has become a mythical human to the people.

Since he usually had a gentle nature,

there are those who questions why he would have done something like that.

Then, what will you do?

Eun Seong won't simply be peacefully painting things at the island.

He'll be planning a comeback. He might escape the island.

We'll attack when he tries to make contact with someone from the capital city.

Out of his own foolishness if Eun Seong engages in a risky act activity,

the superiors will have no choice but to deal with him.

Send Eo Eul Woon right away.

It is necessary to immediately start discussing this with the general over there.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Once Eung Seong is taken care of in his exile,

we will have to push aside my uncle, Minister of Rites,

who's not on my side

My person, my Hwi.

When I say your name, it becomes a whistle.

By saying your name, I started to fall in love.

We became fated.

The life we dreamed of having together was very short.

Living in one house, eating together at one table,

We'd sit side by side and draw things.

But, I know now.

That short dream is hard to become true.

It's nearly impossible.

Fate has blocked me from going to you in this life,

but death cannot block me.

I will go first and wait for you.

After a long time has passed,

please come to me.

I will become a flower and wait for you.

Lady, a palanquin was sent from the Grand Prince.

You're not going, right? Should I send it back?

Listen carefully.

Keep these two letters, and if something happens to me...

Lady!

If it ever does happen is what I'm saying.

The blue one is for Mother.

The red one... Send it to Kyodong Island.

To Grand Prince Eun Seong?

What are these?

They're just letters.

But, why would you give a letter to an adult who lives in the same house as you?

Just in case.

Keep them well.

Don't go, Lady. Why are you going?

I told you I have things to discuss with him about the house.

Then, why can't I follow you?

I'll just go and come back on this palanquin, anyway.

Don't worry. Stay home.

Lady.

Welcome.

This is where you will dwell, Your Highness.

What are you doing?

Even if he is on exile here, he is this country's Prince.

You cannot let him stay here.

Gi Tteuk.

Find a better place that His Highness could reside in.

Is he here as a tourist?

How rude of you!

If he's here as a criminal, he should suffer and feel sorry.

But he expects to be treated differently as soon as he arrives here?

Finished talking? I'm talking about the protocol you need to keep for a royal family member.

Enough. It's enough.

To these people, I am not royalty, but just a criminal.

It was just a false accusation. You haven't done anything wrong, Your Highness.

I'm General Doh Jungkook. Hello, Your Highness.

If you're Doh Jungkook...

Yes, that's true.

The Minister of General Affairs Doh Yeon Soo, who was beheaded on the day of the rebellion,

that person is my father.

I resigned so that I could work on getting revenge,

but I put it aside and waited after hearing you'd be here.

Aren't you looking forward to your days of exile?

We will make sure you don't feel uncomfortable here.

Give criminal Lee Hwi rice, salt, and soy sauce.

Other than the servant he brought, don't let anyone else into the premise.

Yes, sir!

Grand Prince Jin Yang intentionally sent you here.

It was because he thinks you killed his father.

He handed us over to someone who wants revenge.

Let's not do this. Let's clean up.

It has a roof and walls. What more could we ask for?

We just need a place to close our eyes, this is a palace.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

[Viki Ver] TV Chosun E12 Grand Prince -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Nice to see you again, Madame.

Why are you here? The Grand Prince isn't here.

Today, I came to see you.

I thought you'd need to know the reason why

His Highness let Grand Prince Eun Seong live instead of having to drink poison for his death.

After being severely scolded by you,

I realized that I needed to offer you and any person belonging to Grand Prince Jin Yang

my loyalty.

If you have something I don't know, please tell me.

The daughter of Chief Scholar Seong Eok, Lady Ja Hyeon.

What about Ja Hyeon?

She has made a deal with His Excellency.

To save Eun Seong's life,

she said she'd do whatever he wanted. What would that mean?

Sure enough, as soon as Grand Prince Eun Seong was sent off on exile,

Ja Hyeon was called to the palace.

I see.

If you need to confess things in the future, come find me whenever.

For a lowly person like me to live unscathed,

I know that I shouldn't mess with people who have tempers like you, Madame.

If there are more things you must be aware of in the future, I will let you know.

If you know your place, you will not step outside of it.

I understand your praiseworthy intentions.

Excuse me, Madame, but keep this a secret from Grand Prince Jin Yang.

If he finds out, it will be hard to tell you this and that.

I understand. Don't worry.

What would I gain from opening this? I can't even read the letters.

Roo Si Gae!

Do you know how to read Chinese characters?

I'm illiterate.

Where'd you learn that phrase?

Gi Tteuk always teased me for being illiterate.

Illiterate Roo Si Gae, I have a favor to ask you of.

Can you go to the palace? I'm worried that something happened to the lady.

You can just go yourself.

My role is different from yours.

How so?

I use my head.

You use your body.

I'll have scorched rice ready for you at dinner tonight.

- Two lumps - I'll even sprinkle sugar on them.

Be careful!

Of course. No one's been able to resist scorched rice.

Among the servants, scorched rice has absolute authority.

I thought of the past.

When we first met,

you were pouring me tea.

Today, will you make me a cup of tea?

Hasn't his room changed a bit?

I once wondered if you'd be spending your days here.

How can you be so cruel?

It's a house that was designed daily in order for me to live here with Grand Prince Eun Seong.

Just looking at the wall makes my heart crumble.

Passing the doorsill makes me unable to breathe.

How could you touch this place and call me over?

How do you think I felt?

I had to pick out a house for you to live in with Eun Seong.

My feelings when I had to hand this house over while smiling.

With what feelings, and what resolve, did you get into the palanquin to come here today?

I came here to keep my promise.

Feeling greed over my brother's lover...

this was not the first time.

Should I tell you the story of Eun Seong's first love?

When I was living outside of the palace and entered the palace for the first time,

there was a young maid called Yeon Hee who was at his palace.

With an injured arm in a brace, she wiped his shoes.

What great loyalty she had.

It was affection.

Deep affection for sure.

No matter where Eun Seong went, she followed him.

All day long, she'd look at him like a sunflower.

When Eun Seong smiled,

she was happy as if she had everything in the world.

When Eun Seong was angry, she was hurt over it as if her world had crumbled down.

I wanted her.

I wanted her to be mine.

What happened to her?

She died.

I could've treated her well.

I would have,

treated her as well as any other.

What do you think I'll do with you?

Go back and wait.

I'm not going to go after you like some lowly guy on the street.

I will wait for the time.

I will follow the protocol when I come to you.

Do not have any nonsensical thoughts.

Keep yourself safe.

It already isn't good manners to want your brother's lover.

That kind of manners feel more like hell.

Do you think I am not genuine?

Even after having nineteen, due to wanting one more, isn't that greed?

That isn't even love.

That's just an obsession.

Do you not think obsession is love?

It's the same feeling of suffering when you don't get what you want.

My feelings, my greed,

okay, let's say it isn't love.

But, why is it this hard?

I know

what you're thinking.

You want to die.

But, Eun Seong is still alive.

You can't even throw away your hope, so it must be hard to die.

You can return. At least for today.

Put someone who can keep an eye on things at Chief Scholar's house.

She's someone who may run away at any point.

Yes, sir.

Will you live as a concubine in my household?

I don't expect anything like friendship from you at this point, but this isn't it.

Did you decide to be a beast?

What is this?

If I can make the Grand Prince live,

I can be worse than a beast.

Think who is worse than the beast.

Grand Prince Jin Yang who threatens his brother's life and covets his brother's woman.

You who abandons her friends and family in the name of ambition.

Who's the one who just got out of a house after being with someone else's husband?

Do you think I wanted to? Does it look like I came here because I wanted to?

Grand Prince Eun Seong will die in the end.

To save him,

even if you throw away your body,

he will die anyway.

What are you saying? Grand Prince escaped death.

He was exiled to an island!

You think the world will keep a traitor alive?

He wasn't given the chance to live because of your tears and pleas.

The deal that you had with His Excellency, that promise

you were trying to keep.... He wasn't given the chance to live because of those things, either.

So, listen carefully.

Don't linger around my man.

I can tolerate a gisaeng (female entertainer), but not you.

That you are sacrificing yourself to save Grand Prince Eun Seong,

that kind of nonsense out of ignorance of the facts nauseate me.

I have no intention of bringing you in to the house as a concubine.

Don't come near my flower garden (my life) again.

My lady!

Let's go, Lady.

Get out.

Good work, everyone.

Keep an eye on her.

They're stuck to us. How annoying.

Why'd you speak politely to me and call me lady earlier?

Because we were in front of an annoying woman.

I need to go to Kyodong Island.

His Highness is in danger.

You can't go because of the people watching you.

I can go.

I'll go. You can't speak our language very well.

What if you can't find where His Highness is?

[ Ja Hyeon ]

[ I'm living by the river... missing you endlessly... ]

Gi Tteuk?

General!

If it's because of the grudges you have against me due to your father,

alright, then. Cut me down.

But, the culprits who made your father die,

will be buried in the history.

Shut up. The greed to become a King

- made you humiliate the King and killed the ministers. - That was not me!

Then, you held onto your life based on the fact that you were royalty?

I'll take this as the Heaven's will for me to make the judgement on you.

I'm angry for being accused of the crime I didn't commit.

If the loyal servant's sword in the hands of his filiar son,

kills me, I will take that as an honorable death.

Your Highness, are you alright?

- Ho Chi. - I'm sorry.

- Let's go. - Let's go!

Why are you all the way over here? How did you know?

When you were in the capital city, we thought we'd be a bother so we could come find you.

But, after knowing that you were suffering,

we couldn't just do nothing about it!

What kind of person would charge you of a heinous crime?

His Highness isn't even the type of person to do that.

He risked his life to save his people.

Right, right! Gi Tteuk!

Guests are here.

The son of the late Minister of General Affairs Doh Yeon Soo.

Are you General Doh?

I'm Doh Jungkook.

We have come from the capital city.

We have something to tell you, General.

Stop where you are.

Where are you going?
