[ Episode 12 ]

Why will you not tell\Nme to believe you?

At least beg me to\Nbelieve you just once.

How could I do that?

That would only make\Nyou suffer more.

But what if I still want to\Ntry to believe you?

If only that's possible,

I will...

only love you for the\Nrest of my life.

Do not follow me inside.

Your Highness.

What is your real name?

It is Eun Bo.

Kang Eun Bo.

Eun Bo.

Kang Eun Bo.

It has been so hard

to finally hear that name.

Eun Bo.

I will not lose you.

I will keep you by my side.

Promise me one thing.

Promise me that you will always be

your true self,

Kang Eun Bo at least in front of me.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I will do that.

By the way,

I found out where\Nyour mother is staying.

I sent Han Mo there.

Let's trust him and wait.

Is that true?

She is probably safe, is she not?

Do not worry.

It will be okay.

Aren't you the one

who helped me and\NLady Hong Yeon last time?

I was sent here by His Majesty.

It might be dangerous\Nif you stay here.

You must find a\Ndifferent place to stay.

Please follow me.

Pardon?

Why all of a sudden...

Is His Excellency Baek Ja Yong\Nalso aware?

He told His Majesty\Nabout this place himself.

[ Theory of Enlightenment ]

I have no other regrets.

[ Theory of Enlightenment ]

But...

for what I did to you\Nand your daughter,

I will apologize to you\Nin person soon.

I think I need to go back.

I can't leave His Excellency\NBaek Ja Yong like this.

Pardon?

- Sir.\N- You should follow me.

The rest can head to\Nthe dock ahead of us.

Yes, sir.

Kang Eun Bo.

Eun Bo.

My Lady.

The wind is cold tonight.

Do you feel better now?

Yes.

I'm your servant now\Nwhether I live or die.

You took me in instead\Nof abandoning me.

I'm so thankful for that.

Let's thank His Majesty\Ninstead of thanking me.

I made him suffer too much.

It is shameless of me to say this,

but I will make up for it by his side.

So...

Yeo Wool, you should also\Nhelp me by my side.

The conjugal visit has\Nbeen rescheduled.

This is from your father.

It's a high-end musk pouch.

He told me to give it to you\Nfor the conjugal visit.

- Put it away.\N- Your Highness.

What is the point of all this?

He will not come to me anyway.

He does not even look at me.

He treats me so coldly,

but he mentions\NConsort Hong all the time.

What is so great about that woman?

What is it?

Your Highness, are you all right?

Please calm down, Your Highness!

Your Majesty.

I have not heard of\Nthe sinner's death.

By the way, Your Majesty...

Where are you headed to?

Let's go to Consort Hong's chamber.

There is something I\Ndid not get to ask her.

You could have summoned her.

That means you must\Nbe the weak one.

They say the one who is\Nmore in love is the weak one.

It is important to play\Ngames in relationships.

But you are the only one who\Nis desperate all the time.

What does a eunuch know?

- Listen to yourself.\N- Your Majesty.

That is a strong prejudice.

When I was about five years old,\NI met my first love

and was the talk of the town\Nbefore becoming a eunuch...

Your Majesty, I am telling the truth!

What are you doing out here?

Were you waiting\Nfor me by chance?

Not precisely, but...

I am happy to see you here.

Would you like to take a walk?

Well, the thing is...

There are many eyes around us.

I feel a bit self-conscious\Nwalking by your side.

Is it because of the Queen?

Not at all.

I just feel...

Is there something\Nyou'd like to tell me?

Eun Ki...

Where is your sister's body?

I buried her near Choan Mountain.

There was a reason why\NI could not find her body.

I want to make her a proper grave.

I think because I thought\NEun Ki was you,

I might have changed her destiny.

My heart is heavy for it.

It is not because of you.

I am sure being on the boat

and floating a lantern with you

must have been\Na happy memory to her.

Since we could not reveal\Nthat we were twins,

we had to stay inside the\Nhouse since we were young.

You could not reveal\Nthat you were twins?

Aside from my family,

His Excellency Baek Ja Yong\Nwas the only one who knew.

Your Majesty.

What will happen to\NHis Excellency Baek Ja Yong?

May I ask you that?

What are you doing?

Sir.

Why are you here...

You can't come here right now.

You should've left\NHanyang already!

I'm here to take you with me.

I prepared a horse nearby.\NPlease come with me...

I will get arrested before that.

That will put you in danger too.

- Please go without me.\N- Your Excellency.

I've already made up my mind.

Please safely hide and\Nplan for the future.

Hurry!

Why...

Why are you doing this?

I'm...

not as great of a prince\Nas you think I am.

Why are you determined\Nto die for me?

You saved me from\Nmy father's violence

and hunger when I was a child,

but I...

betrayed you.

What do you mean?

Before the assassination\Nduring the royal procession,

I made a deal with\NJo Heung Gyeon secretly.

He came to see me in Jemulpo.

Wouldn't you like to become\Nthe new king for the country?

What? What is this?

The King is alive and well.

Don't utter such words!

I heard in the near future,

some unidentified assailants\Nwould carry guns

and ambush the King.

Wouldn't we need a new\Nking if that happens?

Ambush?

Is that really true?

He asked me if I wanted\Nto become the new king.

And I said yes.

We've been invaded!

Since I tempted the throne,

I made a deal with a man who's\Nopposed to our greater cause.

That's who I really am.

I wanted to become...

the king to take revenge on the\Nroyals instead of the greater cause.

I'm cowardly and cunning.

That's the kind of person I am.

It was important to become\Nthe king and seize power.

I can imagine how you felt.

I can understand that.

Ever since I met you\Na long time ago,

I only had one master.

Since you grew up as\Na powerless citizen,

I'm sure...

you would've become a king who\Nempathizes with the people's pain.

We've been invaded!\NSearch everywhere!

Sir!

Please leave now.

Take him away!

No!

I can't go by myself!

Take him away now!

Over there!

Sir.

Please achieve something great.

Sir, we need to go.

Hurry up!

We need to go now!

Hurry!

Sir!

Hurry!

The guards chased after the Prince,\Nbut they could not capture him.

And Baek Ja Yong\Ncommitted suicide.

All right.

Your Majesty.

Baek Ja Yong is nothing but\Na traitor who tempted the throne.

Please do not let someone\Nlike him trouble you.

Although his method was wrong,

he dreamed of a good world.

If he started a world\Nlike that with me,

it would have been good.

I find it to be a shame.

Free Wal tomorrow and\Nbring Hong Ki Ho.

And we must keep

tracking down the Prince.

Although the group disbanded,\Nthere must be some remnants left.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, it's Han Mo.

How about Kang Yi Soo's wife?\NWas she at Chunggye Temple?

Yes.

I brought her and let her stay\Nat my house for now.

What should I do?

Good work.

Let her rest since it is late at night.

Let her meet with Consort Hong\Nwhen the day breaks.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I am so relieved to hear that

she was there safely.

Yes.

Thankfully Baek Ja Yong\Ndid not tell me a lie.

He trusted us with the greater cause and\Nleft the way he intended to, sir.

Are you keeping that stuff safely?

Yes.

Here. It's called a motherwort.

I heard it's a medicine that\Npregnant women avoid.

Good work.

Deliver it safely to the Consort.

Yes.

Father!

Father, Father.

How dare you come home now\Nafter being gone all night?

Will you abandon your position as the\NInspection Bureau head that I got you?

Speaking of which, the\NInspection Bureau head...

Not me, but the previous\None, Baek Ja Yong

committed treason with\Nthe Prince but failed

- and killed himself!\N- What?

- Treason?\N- Yes.

I heard His Excellency Baek Ja Yong

ended up killing himself.

My Lady.

Officer Han is here.

Mother.

Eun Bo.

His Majesty told me\Nto bring her here.

Are you all right?

Did you get injured at all?

You told His Majesty that you're...

Eun Ki's twin sister?

Yes.

Why are you so surprised?

It's nothing.

Anyway,

what is going on?

You became a concubine using\NLady Hong Yeon's name?

Mother.

Please trust me and wait a bit.

I will make sure to clear\NFather and Eun Ki's name.

Are you trying to do something?

Eun Bo.

I'm just happy that I found you.

If you're put into danger too,

I won't be able to live.

Do not worry.

His Majesty is there to protect me.

I would like to be helpful to\Nhim in return as well.

Since we can't foresee what's coming,

we should split up\Nand act individually.

I'll get back in touch\Nwhen the time comes.

So keep a low profile\Nin the meantime.

Yes, sir!

The rumor is spreading\Nin the market.

That the Prince and\NBaek Ja Yong are traitors.

They say to know a person's mind is impossible\Nlike to know what's deep under the sea.

I remember the day I\Nbrought you to Jemulpo

with me to meet with the Prince.

I'm talking about the day

I asked the Prince if he'd like\Nto become the new king.

I had no idea that he was a beast

raised by Baek Ja Yong.

Yes.

We should release our men\Nto search for the Prince as well.

We must not let him get\Ncaught by the King

and talk about what\Nhappened that day.

Yes.

What happened to the owner\Nof the Buyong Agency?

Now, let me think.

If Officer Kim is a spy at\NRoyal Investigation Bureau...

What does that mean exactly?

Seriously...

Aigoo, you came.

Come out.

The king ordered us to free you.

If so...

How about Consort Hong?

You will find out once\Nyou come out.

Hey!

My Lady.

Wal.

Are you okay? I'm sorry.

You keep suffering\Nbecause of me.

Aigoo, come on.

Why are you so touchy-feely?

I'm fine.

You're okay now, right?

Don't worry.

Is it true that the Prince\Nand Baek Ja Yong

committed treason together?

Wow, I didn't think the Prince\Nwould be like that.

I got the chills all over my body.

Anyway, there's something I found\Nout while being locked up.

But I had no one to tell it to.

Find out? What?

The spy at the Royal\NInvestigation Bureau!

The one that's planted\Nby Jo Heung Gyeon!

Shut your mouth.

Report it to His Majesty first...

Did you say Jo Heung Gyeon?

What are you talking about?

The owner of the Buyong Agency hasn't returned\Nto the Royal Investigation Bureau yet.

It's a poisonous needle.

If he comes back by chance, stab him\Nwith it when you get a chance.

You must know how since\Nyou've done it before.

The cause of death...

seems to have been a poisonous\Nneedle, Your Highness.

That man was practically dead\Nbecause he was tortured, but...

Are you telling me to kill\Nsomeone alive and well?

Bring Wal back to the Royal\NInvestigation Bureau first

and make him keep on eye on the one\Nwho's suspected to be the spy.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Forgive me, but Wal suddenly told\NConsort Hong about the spy.

I couldn't stop him.

I was going to tell her about\Nthe culprit soon anyway.

I will take care of that myself.

So you may leave now.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Hong Ki Ho, the governor\Nof Gyeonggi is here.

Let him in.

I already did something\Nunforgivable to you.

I will pay for my sin with death.

Why did you turn your back\Nagainst the Prince?

I heard from Baek Ja Yong.

I suspected that...

when you asked me to understand\NConsort Hong's true intention last time too.

At the last minute,

I thought their way was wrong.

If so, should you not prove that?

I will hang onto your life, which you\Nwere willing to give up.

So I want you to return that favor

to the people of the country instead.

Work for me and devote\Nyourself to the people.

Prove that they were wrong that way.

But Your Majesty...

How could you be so\Ngenerous to a sinner?

There is another thing\Nyou can do for me.

Please temporarily take care\Nof Kang Yi Soo's wife,

who has been held\Nhostage by Baek Ja Yong.

Since I made her stay with\Nyour daughter before,

I do not think it is too much to ask.

Yes.

That is not difficult to do, but...

Your Majesty!

Thank you in advance then.

Please leave now.

Isn't this Consort Hong?

I've always wanted to meet you.

But why...

It's because I have a request for you.

His Majesty and the Queen's conjugal\Nvisit is coming up in four days.

Could you ask His Majesty to

visit the Queen's Palace that day?

That is up to His Majesty to decide.

It seems His Majesty is\Nforgetting one thing.

That as long as a certain\Nwoman is by his side,

that would always\Nbecome his weakness.

So allow me to thank\Nyou in advance.

Everyone...

has a weakness.

We should wait and see whose

weakness will become vulnerable.

You must have already heard\Nfrom the Queen's Palace.

Brew this into a tea and\Nkeep serving it to your masters,

the Queen and Consort Hong.

You will be rewarded\Nhandsomely every month.

I knew it.

It was you, Yong Ho.

What are you doing right now?

I haven't seen you in a while.

I was so happy to see you.

Well, sir...

Since Chief is not here today,

shall we start the day\Nwith some drinks?

It's on me!

Don't be like that. Let's go.

Let me treat you.

Let's go! I know a place.

Her Royal Highness the\NQueen wants to see you.

Your Majesty.

Have you been having\Ntrouble sleeping lately?

Why do you ask?

Your pulse is slow and irregular.

Your energy is off balance

as if you haven't slept in a while.

That is also the reason why

you felt dizzy all of a sudden.

Is it serious?

He is fine for now,

but it'd be dangerous\Nif the condition persists.

Firstly, I will make you tonic\Nthat helps with sleeping.

Try to avoid overworking

and try to sleep soundly.

You told me that

His Majesty will reveal the truth

and you will receive your\Npunishment, did you not?

I summoned you since\NI have not heard any news yet.

Show me.

Whatever that truth might be.

And what your sin is.

By chance, do you know

what your father has done to me

as well?

What?

He did something terrible to me.

And also to His Majesty.

Your father...

- made His Majesty...\N- Shut your mouth!

He told me to persuade\NHis Majesty

and help him visiting\Nthe Queen's Palace.

I told you to tell the truth.

What are you talking\Nabout now?

Byeol, are you out there?

Yes, Your Highness.

Prepare a Dalcho.

[ Dalcho: hitting one's calves with a stick ]

She is not willing to confess.

I should discipline\Nher with beating.

You, right there.

Aren't you the Queen's\Npalace lady?

What are those things\Nyou are holding?

Well...

the Queen ordered us\Nto run an errand.

Looks like they are for\Ndisciplining someone.

But what for?

Will you not answer?

I asked you why the Queen\Nneeds disciplining sticks.

The thing is...

She wants to punish Consort Hong.

What?

Your Majesty.

Cold air is not good\Nfor your health.

The physician told you so.

You need to take a rest.

If you keep having\Nthose dreams,

your body might become weak.

I wonder if it is because\Nof those dreams.

Summon the priestess\Ndiscreetly when it gets dark.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Forgive me for\Napproaching you rudely.

It is because I was so\Nworried about Consort Hong.

What do you mean by that?

The thing is...

Her Highness the Queen is...

Lift your skirt.

Did you not hear what I said?

Stand up and lift your skirt!

How dare you?

Should I force you to stand up?

- Byeol.\N- Yes, Your Highness.

What are you doing?

Stop! Let go of me!

His Majesty is here!

What are you doing right now?

Your Majesty.

The thing is...

I am trying to maintain the\Norder within the inner court.

What?

The order?

What did Consort Hong do to you

and why was she house arrested?

I need to know.

If she gave you a drug that\Ncould have harmed you...

Everyone, leave us!

Are you all right?

The Queen raised\Na disciplining stick?

Against Consort Hong?

Yes. She had to let out her anger.

She is more daring\Nthan I thought.

Something even I do not do.

By the way, why did\Nyou tell King about it?

I should at least pretend to be\Nfriendly with Consort Hong

to get His Majesty's attention.

That's right.

And if His Majesty grows\Nto hate the Queen more,

that would be a good thing\Nto Consort Kim too.

If King distances the Queen more,

would he not get closer\Nto Consort Hong?

Do not worry.

That is why we are\Nusing motherwort.

So, did you deliver the medicine\Nto each chamber safely?

Yes.

What do you mean,\Nan aphrodisiac?

What nonsense is that?

If so...

what was the drug you made\NOfficer Han examine?

Are you spying on me now?

There are hundreds and thousands\Nof eyes in the palace.

You know that better than anyone.

Nobody knows why Consort Hong\Nwas under house arrest.

That is why there\Nare vulgar rumors.

Please tell me.

I examined the drug\Nthat Baek Ja Yong

and the Prince used trying\Nto assassinate me.

Consort Hong's house arrest was

to protect her in case they\Ntry to hurt someone

I cherish the most.

Cherish the most?

Are you satisfied?

I will never forgive this\Nunruly behavior ever again.

This will be the last time

I will be warning you as well.

Why is it always her?

What is she to you exactly?

How about me?

I always...

had my eyes for you.

I do not know about politics.

I did not participate in the\Nselection for my family, either.

I just...

wanted to become your wife.

A wife of someone I love.

Do I deserve to be treated\Nso coldly for that?

Do you not...

find me pitiful at all?

I do.

I pity that you tempted\Nsomething that is not yours

and became miserable.

What do you mean,\Nwhat is not mine?

This spot indeed\Nbelongs to me.

No.

You will go back to\Nwhere you belong.

What...

does that mean?

Did you get hurt at all?

No, I am all right.

I heard Wal told you\Nabout the culprit.

Why did you not tell me?

I was worried that you\Nmight feel tormented

and enraged while serving\Nthe culprit's daughter.

And why is it okay for\Nyou to endure that pain?

Please share your pain\Nwith me now.

I would like to be there to help.

Byeol.

Byeol!

Yes, Your Highness.

Send a message to\NFather right now...

No.

No, I cannot.

Your Highness.

I need to step outside\Nthe palace secretly.

But you are the Queen!\NGo where?

You are not allowed to leave\Nthe palace without approval.

Prepare a court lady's\Nuniform and a litter discreetly.

Pardon?

I heard Baek Ja Yong\Ncommitted treason.

Is that true?

Yes, it is.

I'm thinking of presenting\Na young woman for the selection.

I'd like you to take care of her.

By the way,

what does he want to see me for?

You will find out once\Nyou get there.

The side effects of prophetic\Ndreams you mentioned last time...

Pardon?

Yes, Your Majesty.

You said one's body\Nbecomes weak, did you not?

What happens afterward?

Can one become weak\Nall of a sudden?

Since...

not anyone has the ability\Nto have prophetic dreams,

it will not be considered unusual

even if something happens.

Then, is there a way to\Nrelieve the symptoms?

One way is to perform\Nan exorcism.

I have done it a long time ago.

It defeats the dreams.

You mean it stops you from\Nhaving prophetic dreams?

Yes.

Forgive me for asking this,

but why do you ask me that?

Just answer my questions.

You should not speak\Nof this meeting either.

And not to the\NQueen Dowager either.

Yes.

I will follow your order.

Who's inside?

She's the court lady\Nof the Queen's Palace.

She's stepping out urgently for\Nan errand given by the Queen.

Go ahead.

Brother Gae Pyeong.

What are you doing here?

You could have just come in.\NWhy ask me to come out?

The Queen would like\Nto see you discreetly.

Follow me.

It's late at night.

Is it okay for you to be out?

I have a favor to ask.

What could the Queen need\Nfrom someone like me?

It's something only you can do.

You're the only one\Nwho could do it.

Please...

- get rid of Consort Hong.\N- Your Highness.

She might know everything.

No, she indeed knows everything.

She knows that Father\Ntried to kill her

and His Majesty.

And His Majesty is...

trying to replace me\Nwith Consort Hong...

I just need to get rid of her.

If so, His Majesty

will not say that he will turn\Nthings back to normal.

So please get rid of that\Nwoman, Gae Pyeong.

- I cannot do that.\N- What?

Please talk to\NHis Excellency about this.

He will find a solution for you.

I cannot talk to Father.

He will put His Majesty\Ninto danger again!

I will give you\Neverything you want.

I can do anything.

Please just this once, please?

I cannot do anything without\NHis Excellency's order.

Please pull yourself together.

I said I would never let us\Nget revealed, did I not?

I just want that woman...

to disappear in front of me.

When I see His Majesty\Nand that woman,

I feel like my heart is\Nbeing torn apart.

I cannot do this anymore.

I...

I cannot do this anymore.

If you cannot do it, I will do it.

I will do it with my own hands.

- Your Highness.\N- So answer me.

That you will do it for me.

It is noisy inside and outside the palace\Nbecause of the Prince and Baek Ja Yong.

I suspect whether they are related\Nto the assassination as well.

I do not think that is true.

What proof do you\Nhave to think that?

I was curious about\Nwhat is on your mind.

Did you forget about your promises

since you became a concubine?

You said you would find the culprit\Nand punish him yourself.

If you gave up on that,

you should only focus\Non your duty as a concubine.

But if that is not true,

you will have to tell me what

you and King's plan is.

Your Highness.

Forgive me, but perhaps you\Nshould ask His Majesty directly...

So...

something is indeed\Ngoing on, is it not?

Your Highness, the Queen is here.

Let her in.

Let us talk some other time.

Yes.

Why are you coming out\Nof this chamber?

I was just saying hello to her.

I did not tell her anything.\NSo do not worry.

What?

The fact that you tried\Nto discipline me.

Your Highness.

Great Royal Dowager Queen\Nis waiting for you.

Please go inside.

You want to step outside for\Na Gijaeurye (conception ritual)?

You want to do that yourself?

Yes.

I heard there is a famous rock\Nin Inwang Mountain.

I would like to get energized physically\Nand spiritually before the conjugal visit.

- Please allow me.\N- You may not.

If you really want to,\Nsend the priestess instead.

No one else can be\Nas desperate as me.

Grandmother.

You are aware that

His Majesty is avoiding\Nthe Queen's Palace.

It is an embarrassing\Nwish I have as a wife.

I just want to...

get his attention no\Nmatter what it takes.

How could anyone\Npray in my place?

I understand.

Go ahead then.

I have another request.

Please let me go out\Nwith the concubines.

You want to bring the\Nconcubines with you?

Why is that necessary?

Since I have been\Nfeeling anxious lately,

I was not able to be\Ngenerous to them.

We are serving His Majesty\Ntogether, after all.

I would like to become close to\Nthem using this opportunity.

Nothing could be better\Nif we could pray

for the prosperity of\Nthe royals together.

If so...

- tell His Majesty about it...\N- No, Grandmother.

What if that makes him\Nhate me more?

If only you could allow me to...

Your Majesty.

Please let the priestess\Nperform an exorcism.

Even if you do not have\Nprophetic dreams,

nothing dangerous will happen\Nto Consort Hong anymore.

I hope that is true.

I am sure it is.

She is inside the palace

and by your side.

I am sure she would like you\Nto take care of your body.

So as I, Officer Han,\Nand Great Royal Dowager Queen.

Let me think about it.

Gijaeurye?

She wants to do\Nthat tomorrow?

Yes.

The Queen's Palace\Nsent a message.

I heard the Queen Dowager\Nalready approved it as well.

She wants the concubines to\Nget ready and come along as well.

Why all of a sudden...

Tomorrow noon at the\Nentrance of Inwang Mountain.

In the near future,

I will come up with an excuse\Nto leave the palace with the concubines.

And I will contact you\Nthrough Byeol.

You should attack me\Nthen as well.

- Your Highness.\N- Do as I say.

I need to get attacked as\Nwell to avoid any suspicion.

There will be minimal security.

Run as soon as you are done.

Understand?

Are you telling me to hurt\Nyou with my own hands?

Please do.

You are the only one I got now.

Brother Gae Pyeong.

Her Highness wants\Na clear answer from you.

Tell her...

that I'll follow her order.

Yes.

You came, sir.

Isn't that Byeol who\Njust passed by?

Yes.

She stopped by to pick up\Nsomething for Her Highness.

You said you prepared an army?

Yes.

They are training as\Nhard as they can.

Let's go inside.

Yes.

Chief Eunuch Hwang!

Is Chief Eunuch Hwang out there?

His Majesty is here.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, what is the matter?

I had a dream.

You got shot in my dream...

Did you have a nightmare?

What happened to me\Nin your dream?

Never mind.

I just had a nightmare.

Make sure not to leave\Nthe palace for a while.

- Do you understand?\N- Pardon?

I have to go on a Gijaeurye\Nwith the Queen tomorrow.

What? You must not!

What is the matter, Your Majesty?

Outside the palace,

someone is trying to harm you.

What do you mean,\Nharm me? Who is that?

How did you know that\NI will be in danger?

No, actually...

If the Queen's Palace\Nis planning that,

- all the more reason to go.\N- What?

It might be a chance to\Ncatch Jo Heung Gyeon.

Are you suggesting putting yourself\Nin danger to catch the culprit?

I just need to be there\Nwhen we leave.

If I say something is wrong\Nwith my litter on the way,

I will be able to cause a delay.

And I can return to the\Npalace like that.

You cannot.

It is too dangerous.

If I do not come, the Queen\Nwill cancel the plan

and we will have to wait for another\Nchance to catch the culprit.

It is something I can do.

It is something only I can do.

I will surely return to you safely.

Please trust me.

You are really...

Your Majesty.

The assassination will\Ntake place in the mountain.

Would you really be able\Nto return before that?

Yes.

We will have to corner\Nhim tightly so that

Gae Pyeong cannot escape.

Wal could be of help.

Wal?

Please remember one thing.

Your safety is more\Nimportant than anything.

You must change the\Nroute on the way.

- Do you understand?\N- Yes.

Han Mo.

Go to Wal right now.

Let the spy at the Bureau leak\Nthe information on Gae Pyeong.

If that spy gets scared and\Nruns to his master tomorrow,

you and Wal must locate\Nhim and chase him.

Do you understand?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Do you remember me\Nchanging the dream last time?

Yes.

You prevented Consort Hong\Nfrom being in danger.

I need to do the same this time.

Nothing will happen.

By the way, Your Majesty...

You felt dizzy all of a sudden

when you changed\Nthe dream as well.

Perhaps you should not\Nchange the dream this time.

Stop.

Do not talk anymore.

I am certain that\NOfficer Kim is the spy.

- Are you sure?\N- Yes, I'm telling you!

I searched everywhere\Nin his room

and found silver coins.\NSilver coins!

How could an officer\Nat the Bureau

afford to have silver\Ncoins anyway?

There's no doubt, I'm telling you!

Listen to me carefully now.

Yes, yes.

His Majesty ordered\Nyou to do something.

What is it?

I need to tell you\Nsomething urgently.

Please come to the back alley.

Geez...

You must have shoulder pain.

Well...

I think I slept funny.

You should've been careful.

By the way, you wanted\Nto see me privately.

What is it?

You know my background, right?

I was the owner of the Buyong Agency.\NThe Buyong Agency, I said.

I'd like to give you an\Namazing piece of information.

What information?

Look.

This is the man who\Nattacked me here last time.

His name is Gae Pyeong.

If you catch him, you are\Nguaranteed to get promoted!

When did you get that\Ndrawing made?

Come on!

That's not important right now!

You saw His Majesty's\Nsecurity guard last time, right?

To tell you the truth,

I'm here because of\NHis Majesty's order.

But thinking about it, it'd be\Ndifficult to catch him alone.

But how could I tell this to the\NRoyal Investigation Bureau?

So apparently...

at the Royal Investigation Bureau,

there's a spy. A spy!

So...

how am I supposed to\Ntrust anyone?

So...

would you like to...

try catching this man?

I'm not sure.

My Lady.

You should get ready to go now.

We all serve the King together.

Why should we pray\Nfor her to conceive?

We have a fond memory of\Nparticipating in the selection together.

I am sorry that I could not\Nbe friendly to you lately.

Please forgive me\Nif you were upset.

Let's go out and get\Nsome fresh air together.

I am thankful for\Nyour thoughtfulness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Let us get going then.

You scared me!

Geez...

The door was unlocked.

I remembered that you told me\Nto come here if there's an emergency.

That owner of Buyong\NAgency found out about you.

To what extent?

He knows your name, and he\Neven had a drawing of your face too.

He said he is working\Nfor the King too.

So what would happen to\Nme if you get caught?

What did you tag along?

What are you talking about?

I can't get caught like this.

There is something I must do today.

Remember this.

We must catch him alive,\Nno matter what.

Yes.

Chase him!

- Take the spy to the Bureau.\N- Pardon?

Report to His Majesty\Nabout the situation.

Excuse me...

Excuse me!

You heard him, right?\NWhy don't you do that?

I'll see him getting caught\Nwith my own eyes, okay?

Hey, hey!

Stop moving for a second!

What is going on?

It looks like something is wrong\Nwith Consort Hong's litter.

Put down the litter.

Put down the litter!

What is going on?

The thing is...

I think the litter carrier\Nsprained his ankle

and injured himself.

What?

You should go ahead of me.

We'll take care of it\Nand join you later.

No.

We need to arrive by noon when\Nthe mountain energy is the strongest.

Consort Hong,

you should leave the\Nlitter and walk with us.

- Pardon?\N- Why are you so shocked?

Did I say something wrong?

If you go ahead, I will take care\Nof things and follow you.

- So...\N- Walk with us.

If you think about it,

it is wrong for a concubine to\Nuse a litter like the queen.

If you do not like that,

would you like to use\Nmy litter instead?

Your Highness, that\Nwould be impossible.

Byeol.

Put Consort Hong in my litter.

I will walk.

Consort Hong, what are you doing?

I understand.

I will walk and follow you.

Get going!

My Lady.

Did Consort Hong come back?

I have not heard from her yet.

What do you mean, not yet?

She should be back in\Nthe palace by now!

- Go find out.\N- Yes, Your Majesty.

S***...

The Queen left the palace?

Tomorrow is the day chosen\Nby the Ministry of Royal Affairs!

She should take every\Nprecaution! How could she...

The man ran into the Inwang Mountain,\Nand Officer Han is chasing him.

We must not lose this\Nopportunity. We must catch him.

Your Majesty!

I heard Consort Hong is\Nfollowing the procession.

What?

What are you talking about?

Stop the procession.

Your Highness, we are entering\Na mountain trail from here.

You cannot travel in\Nthe litter anymore.

The assassination will take\Nplace in the mountain.

They say we need to walk\Nfrom this point on.

Let us go then.

Just one second.

It's the path you will be on.

Perhaps we should send the\Nguards first and inspect the area.

Please do, Your Highness.\NIt feels unsafe around here.

I appreciate the thought,\Nbut it is not necessary.

Hurry and follow me.

Who are you?

What?

Over there!

I finally get to see you.

You're the maniac\Nwho kills people for fun.

Drop the rifle.

Surrender yourself.

No, My Lady!
