Episode 13

A plague has spread throughout Hanyang,

our poor citizens are dying in pain.

I respectfully offer these drinks and my heart.

I pray the spirits take my offerings,

Heumhyang An offering of food and alcohol to dead spirits

and relieve our citizens of this horrible plague.

Cheoljong 25th King of the Joseon Dynasty

My King!

My King! My King!

My King!

Princess, what should we do!

We're almost out of medicine from the Hyeminwon.

Princess, you have done enough.

We must leave.

I know...

If we stay here you might be infected.

I said, I know.

Come with me, we must speak!

What is wrong?

Are you alright?

Mother...

Mother!

Who are you?

I am shaman Ban-dal's daughter, Bong-Ryun.

You're mother has fallen sick, we are here to perform a ritual.

You will recover soon.

I can see things.

You don't have a fever.

You are stressed out.

Do not bother with me and take care of yourself.

Chun-Jung Choi has brought upon this plague!

My readings for this country was not wrong!

Destiny could not flow the way intended,

it was changed and altered by someone.

It flows in the wrong direction!

Our destiny's flow was altered?

Yes, Chun-Jung Choi dares to manipulate you my King.

He has disrupted your mind with thoughts of a plague,

and thus brought forth a spirit of natural disasters!

Yeogue An enraged spirit who was not given proper offerings, damning the living with disease

Because of Choi's curse, our country's future has changed course for the worse!

Do you actually believe what you're saying?

He has a point.

Hwasa Byung-Woon Kim The minister of Finance

Disease is brought by evil spirits.

Thus the reigning King, must perform

a ritual to calm the spirit.

My King, haven't you given up offerings while performing the ritual as well?

Indeed... Chun-Jung Choi is very sly,

everyone who was there

Heungin-gun Heungseon-Gun’s older brother

began to worry about a plague.

I am here to hear about a solution to the plague.

The temporary care center south of the Han River,

is full of critical patients.

We must exile them outside the soogoo gate and quarantine them.

Soogoo Gate One of Hanyang’s major water channeling gates

We must stop the plague and evil spirit from spreading.

Outside the soogoo gate...

That's were we gather the bodies.

You wish for these people to just die,

and throw them away there?

How could you say such a thing!

These critical patients...

We cannot force them to leave!

You just admit that they are in critical condition?

What is a critical condition patient?

If we waste the country's money on patients that are as good as dead,

our rice deposits will be empty and we won't be able to feed our people.

More people will die of hunger next year,

than these sick patients!

My King,

Heungseon-gun has a point but,

our country's vaults are almost empty!

Simam Du-Sun Jo The first vice premier

We must exile the Byeok-dong center's critical patients outside to the soogoo gate

Byeok-dong Current location of Cheonho-dong

How dare Chun-Jung curse us with fear and summon an evil spirit.

You must punish him severely, my King!

The medicine is here.

- Medicine. - It's the medicine, medicine!

It's here, the medince!

The medicine!

Ja-Young Min Future Empress Myeongseong

Welcome, Master.

Greetings.

He's still around?

Yes, we desperately needed helping hands,

he decided to stay and help us out.

We were lucky,

our medicine was about to be depleted.

Is there anything else you need?

The number of patients are growing, we need more bedding.

Man-Seok will gather carpenters,

how many beds do you need?

Again?

My Lord, our lumber storage is about to be emptied...

Do as I say.

The princess is in the medicine warehouse.

My Lord.

Have you been safe?

Yes.

Did you bring more medicine?

Why are your hands so cold?

How is your health?

Are you sick?

I think you have a fever.

I am alright.

I'll hold onto your hand until it's warm.

I have a very good excuse not to let go.

I am so happy to see you.

I am glad to hear it.

Is it not pleasant for you?

Am I the only one happy right now?

No, I mean... That's not...

What is this?

What are you doing?

Can't you see,

I have brought more medicine,

you should check if the plague has spread to your eyes.

Since she does not listen,

Princess or not, I will just have to drag her out.

There's no need for that.

I have already prepared to leave.

Where are you going?

To the palace.

I don't care if you follow me or not.

My Lord.

With all your efforts to save the citizens,

the heaven's will know.

Thank you, princess.

Take good care.

Yes.

Both you and the princess are righteous.

This child is Hoepyeong-gun's child?

Yes.

While I was traveling I met this child...

No, I mean his mother.

She was certain that he was Hoepyeong-gun's son.

Hoepyeong-gun had a child?

From what I have gathered,

his mother was Hoepyeong-gun's mistress.

In matter of fact...

She told me about Hoepyeong-gun's physical

features that only someone who has had sex with him could know.

You look very similar...

Pardon me?

You look like the deceased Dojeonggung.

You wanted revenge against Chun-Jung Choi?

Yes? Yes!

He has ruined my life,

I wish to destroy his.

If you can also provide a professor position in the Gwansanggam,

I couldn't ask for more...

If so, you must be as good as Chun-Jung Choi.

I despise incompetence.

Yes, my Lord!

The Lord Hwasa is asking for you.

Follow me.

Yes.

Your mother is safe, do not worry.

These flowers have been protecting her.

My Lord, you went to see my mother...

Princess,

The Lord Hwasa has asked for you.

What do you want from me?

The weather is nice, I wanted to walk with you.

You want to play with flowers together?

In the past,

you have found a child destined to be King, among the King's relatives?

Back the, you did not see Jae-Hwang...

And now you have seen a lot of him. Now Speak.

How's Jae-Hwang Lee?

Princess, what did you see, in that child?

If you knew, suddenly you would be side with Heungseon-gun?

Maybe I might.

The only thing I saw within Jae-Hwang Lee was...

Jae-Hwang Lee Future Emperor Kojong

A huge shadow.

Are you playing word games with me?

No, I merely speak what I have seen.

A huge shadow you say...

What's going on?

What is this?

Who are these soldiers?

How may I help you?

Master Choi, I bring the King's orders.

Young-Ha Jo Queen Mother Jo’s nephew

The King's orders?

All of the critical patients here,

are to be isolated outside the soogoo gate

You are to be arrested for sins of creating the plague,

and to be imprisoned.

What?

How could you possibly do this?

Master Choi did not spread the disease!

He has been saving all these people from it this whole time!

And how could you send the patients outside the soogoo gate?

That's where bodies are dumped!

Are you planning on letting them die?

Are you throwing everyone out!

Please stop.

Alright, I will take responsibility for whatever you want.

What?

Master Choi...

But please do not get rid these patients

and give us time.

I will go to the King and ask for a new orders.

I promise.

I can't give you a lot of time.

Take good care of the patients.

I ask of you.

- Master Choi... - Are you sure about this?

Master Choi...

You can't! My Lord!

Ministry of Justice's Prison

Lord, why have you asked to meet me here?

Hey Master Choi, we eventually meet here.

Let him go.

I thought I would meet the King...

What a happy encounter, seeing you Lord Byung-Woon.

Unexpected though.

How was your travels?

This place is much safer than that medical center,

filled with the diseased, I promise.

You will broke my legs here,

cut my tongue out, but will not kill me?

There's much more.

If you just tell me what I want to hear,

I will make you the second most powerful person in this country.

Second most... Which position are you talking about?

A position higher than the King.

Since you're Heungseon-gun's person,

you are aware he broke into Yeongun's house,

and tried to assassinate him, right?

What?

You've decided to frame Heungseon-gun with that?

Framing you say...

No matter what anyone says, Yeongun is the rightful heir.

Even if you are against him, there is nothing to worry about.

You want me to claim Yeongun to be worthy of the crown?

I will give you the princess.

My Lord, I am the fortune teller that brought you Yeongun!

You don't even give me a mediocre position yet,

you promise him the princess!

And the second most powerful position!

The fortune teller that will be most loyal to you isn't Chun-Jung,

it is me!

My Lord, Why are you doing this?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

My Lord...

Why...

Why...

Incompetent, with a big mouth.

What I hate the most.

I respect your talents extremely.

Support Yeongun-gun.

The princess...

Bong-Ryun will be yours!

Let him go.

Yes, sir.

The plague will calm itself?

Did you really see this?

Yes, my King. I cared for the patients myself.

It may seem as if the plague is spreading even faster but,

it has already peaked,

and the number of patients is declining.

Princess... How is the princess' health?

I am fine.

You must not go to the centers, as you are the princess.

Do not make a father worry...

Do you understand?

Yes, my King.

My King, as you commanded,

the princess' mother has not been infected.

She is reported to be safe.

Your mother is safe, what a relief.

Thank you, father...

I have heard you will charge Chun-Jung Choi with this crime.

He has spent all of his fortune trying to save all of our people.

He is a righteous man, my King.

Please... reconsider.

My goodness, I am furious!

Master Choi spread the disease?

Is that even a real sentence?

If anything were to happen to Master Choi, the people will let it go.

I will be the first to start something.

What will you do?

By the way, where is Pal-Young? Where has he gone?

I haven't seen him!

That idiot...

Took a large sum of money from Master Choi,

and hasn't been seen since.

What if... He's out there somewhere sick?

There's no way!

He's probably eating something delicious and farting.

Sir, warrior, would you know?

How would I know where Yong-Pall Young farts?

Are you serious...?

- He's actually serious. - Like really serious.

Goodness, really!

- Be careful. - Seriously!

- Come on, where is it! - We're almost there.

You've said that for ages!

We're really here.

- Where, where? - Have a look.

The good piece of land is right here!

Mister realtor,

Gakwae Realtor

I understand the son of the land owner is selling the land in secrecy,

but honestly it's too dark to see anything!

Fine, if you don't want to stamp the contract, forget it!

Wait, wait, wait!

Now,

What is this? A grave?

Hey! Where're you going! What is this!

You asked for 100,000 coins for this?

I mean... this is...

there's a lot of graves which proves it's a good piece of land.

No wonder you asked me to come only at night!

Come here. You want a grave too?

Come here! Come here!

Geez, I came up all this way for this!

I have not summoned you to punish you.

I have heard of the righteous acts you've done for our people.

Also, aren't you the fortune teller who predicted this?

So speak.

When will this plague end?

How could a lowly fortune teller like me, understand the heavens?

But within witchcraft, plagues have the essence of cold and damp.

The only power to suppress this would be a hot dry land.

The plague is slowly ending,

It will be completely gone in June

Is that so?

My King, if you believe Chun-Jung Choi,

Can we wait and see what happens with the critical patients,

in the Byeok-dong center?

June is more than a month away.

Plagues can spread quickly within 3 or 4 days.

Byung-Woon Kim has a fair argument.

My King, the plague is already ending.

Please do not throw away these people.

The Jangdong Kim-Moons are constantly urging me...

I will give you 3 days.

My King, with only 3 days, and hundreds of patients in the center,

how would we save them in time!

The Queen Mother is right too.

The plague could spread throughout the nation within 3 days.

Instead I will order the human rights department

to provide food to the isolated people outside of the soogoo gate

Do you understand?

Yes, My King. I truly appreciate everything.

Lord Heungseon-gun, Byung-Woon Kim is trying to

frame you for assassinating Yeongun-gun.

Please be careful.

After killing Dojeonggung, I guess it is my turn.

I am used to their conniving and inhumane ways, do not worry.

But... didn't Byung-Woon Kim speak of anything else?

If you just tell me what I want to hear,

I will make you the second most powerful person in this country.

I will give you the princess.

He spoke about exiling the patients outside the soogoo gate.

Alright.

I will gather the King's relatives,

to look for land nearby Hanyang to shelter the patients.

But it will be difficult.

Finding a place for them within 3 days,

is impossible.

Welcome.

The Prime Minister's Lady contacted me.

I was told to come here.

Yes, she is on her way but,

before that I wanted to ask you something...

What is it?

My apologies but it is about my brother, Jin Song.

I know what he has done to you, Master.

I have no right to ask but...

He is still my family and he has been missing for a while...

He has passed away.

Bulgwi's gaek A person who has left this world

It happened in the Lord Hwasa's house.

Are you alright?

What are you doing?

Have I seen such a rude woman?

Na-Hab Jwa-Keun Kim's concubine

Stop.

She just heard her brother has died.

What?

Oh... Jin Song?

I see...

This is a harsh game to play.

Come in.

Where is the Lord Jwa-Keun Kim?

My Lord was to weak to wake up from his bed.

He is an important member of the Kim-Moon,

he will pass along your words.

Youngcho Byung-Hak Kim Hansug-bu governor (Modern day Seoul)

Speak.

Then bring Lord Byung-Woon Kim as well.

He is the next leader of the family, shouldn't he be here?

What do you mean next leader! How dare you!

Yes, my apologies, my Lord.

What is the meaning of this writing?

I have warned you not to speak those words.

Were you careful?

Of course.

Lord Young-Cho and I are the only people who know.

Now tell us...

What do those words have to do with my life and my Lord's?

Did you prepare the 50,000 coins?

50,000 coins鈥?

What will you do?

Isn't it too much for me to handle by myself?

In the past, the Lord has blindly given me 1,000 coins.

This time it is incomparable to then.

This will decide if your family will have open paths or failures.

Our family already has wide open paths.

So many paths, we don't know where they lead.

Within this year, you will suffer a huge change.

- What? - Suffer...

A huge change? Does something happen to my Lord?

Lord Haok is not destined to die of sickness.

Hoengaek A sudden surge of bad luck

He has the face of a man who will prosper even if the world suffers.

Gojongmyeong One of the 5 major blessings : Living a full life and dying peacefully

He will be healthy until his last breath.

Then? What do you mean huge suffering?

Well, screw it.

Fine!

Everyone already calls you a prophet.

How could I not listen to Joseon's best prophet!

Alright!

Open it!

Good choice!

I've been too curious to sleep for days!

Now, hurry up and speak!

Se Gae In Bu Dong

Geum Saeg Mu Bul Byeon

When year changes, so does the person.

Se Gae In Bu Dong As the year changes, so does a person

Even the shades of shining gold change.

Geum Saeg Mu Bul Byeon Even the shades of shining gold change

What does that mean?

Gold symbolizing the 'Kim' of Kim-Moon family,

even our great family's glory will fade.

Is that what you're saying?

But there is a way.

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, you must make the right decision.

The right decision you say...

Do you mean Heungseon-gun?

Do not forget my words.

No one outside of this room must know.

If you wish to become the family's leader,

you must kill whomever speaks of these words,

Even if it is me.

I hear you!

Keep it from Byung-Woon Kim?

Lord Byung-Woon Kim and you, Lord Byung-Hak Kim,

Are destined to be opposites and enemies.

If one succeeds, the other fails completely.

Soon, you will not even be able to walk together.

You don't have to feel morally obligated to him, cut him off.

The best thing I've heard recently.

I've never had morals to begin with!

But Byung-Woon Kim is exactly the same.

Now, I have said everything I could say.

I shall leave now.

Come on, where are you going,

why are you in a hurry! Just wait.

Anyone there! Bring me drinks!

You are my important fortune teller!g

Jangjabang A crafty and tricky schemer

Queen Mother.

I am aware of your sorrows for Dojeonggung.

What sorrows.

I think nothing

Queen Jo Queen Mother Hyoyu

and feel nothing, my King.

I want to ask something from you of great importance to the crown.

Before I pass on,

I wish to see my daughter get married.

How could you say such...

No, please.

Just listen.

It is the last thing a father can do.

I understand.

For the Princess Hwa-Ryun's wedding,

I will order the official marriage department to begin and,

Gillyedogam A department dedicated to organizing ceremonies and weddings

I will personally handle everything myself.

Thank you, Queen Mother.

No matter how high my status,

all parents have the same heart.

How could I dismiss your longing heart.

Please find a good husband for the Hwa-Ryun Princess.

[iQIYI Ver] CSTV E13 'Wind and Cloud and Rain' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

You've been staring at that for so long.

Are you that happy?

Of course.

I saw Lord Chun-Jung, and my mother.

Within this one flower I see both the people I love.

Gosh, I'm so hungry.

How do you think our auntie is doing?

I want to eat her delicious food.

Why do you ask about my sister?

What's taking Master Choi so long?

It's Master Choi! Huh? He's here.

Welcome, Master.

Have you been safe?

Yes.

Master...

Tomorrow, are we really being kicked outside the soogoo gate?

Will they really leave us to die?

Didn't you say you would find some other place for us...

I am still searching. Please, give me some time.

- When? - When will you save us?

You are our only hope.

If this goes on, everyone in the village will die.

- Don't be so dramatic... - Gosh, what's wrong with them?

You people are too much.

If it wasn't for him,

everyone here would already be dragged outside the soogoo gate.

Just thrown away like living garbage.

Who stopped that from happening?

Only Master Choi!

Do you people know anything about gratitude?

Now, everyone calm down.

Please help us!

- Get inside, go. - Don't worry, don't worry.

- Don't worry about anything. - Go inside.

These people...

Let us talk.

Yes, sir.

We do not know what will happen tomorrow.

Take this money, buy as many horses and carriages as possible.

We might have to carry the sick and run away.

My Lord, why are you trying to save everyone?

You are not responsible for every citizen.

You can live for yourself, my Lord!

Man-Seok,

I always live for myself.

What?

Do I look like the Saint?

I'm not.

If I give up...

My soul mate does not have to wait,

and you guys don't have to suffer.

Everyone around me suffers, because of me.

But, the moment I give up,

those people will die.

How could I stand idle knowing this?

My Lord...

No matter where I look,

I cannot see anyone who could protect

and look after the sick.

I am the only one.

They are not diseases, they are people too.

If I give up.

They all die.

That is why, I can never give up.

My Lord! Why do you take such a weight upon yourself?

Yes, it's difficult,

but don't scold me too much,

and help me, Man-Seok.

You guys are the reason I can bear the weight.

Geez!

Where in the world is Pal-Yong!

He should be standing right besides Master Choi!

But, why does it seem like you're depending on him the most.

Am I right?

- Yes, He likes him. - Yes.

He is already fond of him.

No I'm not! What is he saying...

It's just because he's always around, it's odd not seeing him.

Why are you sitting so close!

If he isn't sick,

he's probably out there gambling!

There's no way. Pal-Young has a heart too.

He wouldn't gamble during times like this.

Especially with Master Choi's money.

I have eights!

Oh my, Father!

No, wait...

Why, why? What's wrong?

It's the soldiers!

Everyone get down!

- The soldiers are here! - Everyone get down!

Your time has expired. As the King has commanded,

I will isolate the sick patients outside the soogoo gate.

They are not only the sick!

Each and everyone of them are people.

I will not let a single person leave.

Then we must get you first.

It's Chi-Seong Yeon!

- Chi-Seong Yeon! - It's Chi-Seong Yeon!

As long as I am here,

No one will attempt to hurt or kill Chun-Jung Choi.

Chi-Seong Yeon,

he has now sided with Chun-Jung Choi?

He is the bastard that attempted to assassinate you, my Lord.

Just give me the order...

No, let him be.

We do not want unwanted attention from him.

Master Choi!

Master Choi!

Master Choi! Are you there!

Move, Move aside.

Master Choi! Are you there!

Move, Move aside.

It is I, your friend Yong-Pall Young!

What's with this hostility?

Master, I finally did it.

I, Yong-Pall Young, have found the biggest land in Hanyang,

to quarantine these people!

Really? Is this true?

Could it be?

Did he really find a place for all of these people?

Yes, of course!

I bet my right arm and 10,000 coins for it!

He's lying!

Such a place does not exist!

Come see for yourself!

No need for suspicions... Now, look!

Here!

Is this ture?

- is It true? - Really?

He did it!

He did it!

Yes! We're going to live!

Now, follow me!

A land big enough for more than a hundred patients...

Within Hanyang? Is this true?

Yes, my Lord, the sick are moving there as we speak.

Also, other sick people who have heard rumors,

are all moving there.

Chun-Jung Choi, he did it.

I must go see for myself. Lead the way.

We're here, it's here!

Just a little bit further!

- Here! - Welcome!

Good work everyone!

Unload your belongings there.

And don't thank me too much.

How can such a place exist!

Wow!

My goodness!

It's not even that far from our residence!

Really?

This place looks very expensive.

No one would even sell such nice land.

How did you manage to obtain this?

How is it, not bad right?

Yes, not bad.

I didn't expect this much either.

The realtor told me,

the owner of this land was destroyed by people

at the gambling house.

He lost all of this land, and lived in squabbles.

At that moment, my intuition kicked in.

- How? - What intuition?

I bet my own hand!

I bet the 10,000 coins from Master!

- 10,000 coins? - All of it?

What if you had lost it!

And I destroyed the gambling house!

I won!

I have nines!

I have nines!

For some odd reason, I had the best hands!

Are you serious?

There is a saying that once a gambler hits great luck,

he will have to pay for it in the future, be careful.

You... Care about me?

You care so much about me right?

Of course!

I'm so happy!

Goodness, he's the best.

Hey, everyone, listen!

The man who saved us is here!

Welcome!

Master Choi Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Chun-Jung Choi! Hurray! Hurray!

Master Choi Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Hurray! Hurray!

Chun-Jung Choi! Hurray! Hurray!

These are special treats for the sick,

please make them with care.

- Yes! - Thank you!

Let's see...

My goodness, Master. You're doing it all wrong.

You should spread it out evenly.

Alright.

Big brother, this land you obtained, everything is left exactly how it was.

Where did all the people living here go?

The buildings were occupied by leather workers and blacksmiths.

Gatbachi A leather shoe craftsman

Because of the harsh taxing policies,

Gongnab Citizens obligated offerings to the royal council with region specific specialties and money

they all ran away in the middle of the night.

Since then, the land owners constantly changed.

Running away at night...

The land is filled with our people's blood and tears.

Hey, Master Choi, where are you?

- Welcome! - Come in.

Welcome.

My brother Chun-Jung Choi!

I'm so happy!

Lord, you are drunk.

I will make you some tea.

Beautiful auntie. Thank you!

Goodness, my Lord!

- Let us go inside. - Inside?

Should I go or not? Go or not?

Here, let us go in.

This is very sweet.

How long do you plan on staying in a place like this?

I can provide a clean house for you.

No thank you, I like this place.

No, no. This place is not good enough for you.

Everyone idolizes you as a prophet...

I am merely cleaning the path for the next King...

Really?

But, there is a evil child trying to run

through that path first.

What will we do with him?

You're speaking of Yeongun-gun?

You want to kill him.

It's as if you can see straight into my heart.

You cannot.

I can't?

Are you commanding me?

I am merely stating the fact.

Murder does not suit our morals, my Lord.

Who decided that? Did you?

If we stand upon a murdered body, what will happen to it?

It would rot.

Yes, it will rot and fall apart.

And the scent of decay will spread everywhere.

There are no such things as secrets.

As King Yeongjo suffered from rumors of him poisoning his previous king,

Gyeongjong(20th King of the Joseon Dynasty) Hee-Bin Jang’s son, King Yeongjo’s Previous king

your son will suffer the same criticism for the rest of his life.

You have a point.

But, no matter what it takes, we must get rid of Yeongun-gun.

I will think of a way to invalidate him.

But, if you intend to seek my support,

you must never consider murdering ever again.

Do you understand?

Are you threatening me?

My goodness, how terrifying! I'm scared!

Alright. I hear you clearly.

How sweet!

Leave in peace.

Auntie, the tea was so sweet!

- I'll serve some more the next time! - Thank you, thank you.

- Alright then! - Thank you for coming by.

It still surprises me,

it's as if our Ha-Jeon has come back to life.

I will make this child king in place of Ha-Jeon.

This is proof that you were a slave.

Do you know who these belong to?

Please let me live, my Lord!

You are not worthy of the throne,

not even worthy to be a noble man.

But... If I dispose of this evidence,

no one in this world could know of your past life.

Yes, my Lord. I will never forget your grace.

Chun, Ha, Jang, Ahn.

Yes, sir.

Did you find Jin Song?

He hasn't been seen. He must be laying dead somewhere.

Is that so?

What about Yeongun-gun?

How is it that I have given you a command,

yet this child is still alive?

Either the Kim-Moons or the Queen Mother have dispatched

a large number of guards around him.

We've tried to push through but almost got caught.

An old lady has really committed to this child...

She has...

now forced my hand...
