It broke! My antidote!

It will take some time to start cultivating it all over again.

There is no way to get it done prior to the gate of heaven opens up.

If I can't,

I'm going to die.

I will.

Effective today,

the throne is given to Prince Deok Heung here.

I still have things to say!

Prince of the Court from Deok Seong and powers that be

have started a revolt in order to enthrone Prince Deok Heung.

His Majesty has entrusted this Royal Seal to the statesmen.

Are you telling us to

attack the Eastern Expansion Headquarters with our own hands?

900 of the royal army men are currently

surrounding this Eastern Expansion Headquarters.

With a simple command, they will be able to overtake this Eastern Expansion Headquarters.

Why don't you just say that you will abandon His Majesty?

Just say so!

His Majesty is

still waiting in hope.

Begin operation.

We are going in to escort HIs Majesty.

It's the royal armies!

No, look carefully.

They'll just put up a siege.

They wouldn't have that kind of courage to attack.

Right now, Your Majesty's royal armies are in the process of requisitioning the entire headquarters. Right now, Your Majesty's royal armies are in the process of requisitioning the entire headquarters.

Right now, Your Majesty's royal armies are in the process of requisitioning the entire headquarters.

What do you mean to leave?

Leave right away.

One of those 3 relics.

I have put it in the safest place.

General.

I've heard that the making of the antidote has been ruined.

What I have said before...

that I had asked you to stay behind...

I am taking it back.

That woman...

I need to meet her.

I told you we can't find her.

In order for her to come out,

we just need Choi Young.

Episode 23

Pack up.

We will go in front of the gate and wait until the gate opens up.

Even with that, I'm not going.

I will stay here.

Do I need to forcibly carry you off?

Then after that?

After sending me off like that...

then after that?

How I feel, have you thought about it?

But Imja can live there, you said.

To live, of course.

In my room in the heaven world,

I would just live.

Day after day,

having to face people I don't know.

Blabbering things that I don't even mean all day long.

And when the night time comes,

I would just return to an empty room.

Everytime I fall asleep,

I will call out at least once.

"Are you there?"

I know...

that there won't be any answer.

Even then when I wake up in the morning,

I will live another day like that.

Like a dead person.

What it means to live like that,

do you not know?

But you do.

Because you will be like that, too.

These past few days while Imja was dying,

I couldn't even be by your side.

Instead of searching for medicine to save my woman,

I was killing people.

How can someone like me protect Imja?

How could I ask you stay by my side?!

So you don't have a headache then?

I don't.

Even though I couldn't examine you properly,

looking at your conditions so far,

it's not your hand that's shaking but it's your mind that's fluttering.

I have confirmed that

the Dansa officer and his people have already left for Yuan.

It doesn't look like he will be coming back.

But as long as people know about this place, I still feel nervous.

So for the remaining time...

Look at me.

Look at me now.

After Imja leaves,

would I be all right? You had asked.

Remember that?

I remember.

I am going to be OK.

I'll eat well. I'll sleep well.

If you give me a little bit of time, I will also forget.

I will never think of Imja again.

Even then,

don't worry about me and return.

After you return,

even though it will be difficult at first, you will be okay soon.

You are such a strong person.

That's how I believe so.

Even if I return,

it doesn't seem I would be OK.

Because I can't bear to be alone,

I may start looking for you again.

Because I could not find the heaven's gate from where you have brought me,

I may wonder around

in a strange world.

Please don't do that.

Answer me now. That you wouldn't do that.

During the remaining time,

I will stay by you as much as I can.

Because I feel nervous no matter where.

And I will try to make you laugh.

Although I don't have much confidence in that.

The Prince of the Court from Deokseong has already fled.

The officials are taking the census on the remaining private soldiers.

We are in the middle of searching escaped family members of the Prince of the Court.

It doesn't seem like they have escaped out of Gaekyeong yet. pass.

I would like to reinforce security on the Northern border.

We have to stop him from entering Yuan no matter what.

I don't want him to meet up with his sister, Empress Qi.

Choong (loyal) Yong (courageous) Wi (unit).

The commander of Double Tower fortress (Ssangsung) and his soliders are

scattered all over this country.

Form a special force unit to attack them.

How about if we utilize Prince of the Court from Deokseong's private soldiers first?

Commanding General?

I would like to say something, Your Majesty.

Say it.

I'd like to say it to you alone.

It seems that

I am following the footsteps of my teacher.

What are you saying?

A few days prior to my teacher passing away,

I had witnessed it.

How my teacher had

dropped his sword.

At that time, I did not know what that meant.

What does it mean?

It seems it is time

to put down the sword.

It is getting more and more difficult

to hold something up.

Seven days later,

I am leaving to send the High Doctor off. I will serve you until that day.

Since I had already told you to stay with High Doctor until then, go ahead and do so.

Also,

I will keep waiting for you, so keep that in mind too.

And also... -General!

In short, we are going to raid and clean up the Prince of the Court's household.

They've probably taken the most valuable things already, but whatever is left...

gather everything together in an orderly fashion for the kingdom.

Vice General...

Yes, General.

Coordinate the chores. -Yes, Sir

Dol Bae... -Yes, Sir.

Deok Man... -Yes, Sir.

Yoo Eun Soo...

Answer me.

Yes.

Escort me.

We've searched for the relic box over and over.

It's gone.

You two keep searching this room.

We will go this way.

I thought you were going to die.

Everybody kept saying it.

But you are alive, so I'm relieved.

You said you liked your stay here.

Ah... they gave me a lot of food, and nice clothes...

I knew that you liked the food, but you liked the clothes, too?

Of course.

Especially the pretty and expensive clothes.

What else do you like?

I like windy days.

I like rainy days, too.

I like the moment the rain begins to fall.

When the rain drops on my forehead... one by one like this...

"Huh?" The moment it makes me look up like this.

And, what else?

Um... yellow mums.

The colors gray, blue, and...

A tall man.

And his large hands.

Is that all?

All that you like?

And his voice.

I know, right?

I guess my greed has shrunk.

What about you? What do you like?

Dol Bae!

Yes, Sir.

Protect her.

What kind of servant carries something like this around?

Did the Prince of the Court send you?

Vice General? -Yes, Sir.

Take charge of the rest here.

Yes, Sir.

Yes?

And the General?

I'm busy.

I'm telling you again, this is the last resort.

I know.

Though this medicine can double your inner energy and give you the strength of a demon, it can only last a few hours.

And the side effects are severe.

I know.

That wench... we know where she is.

It is safe to assume now that the Prince of the Court knows that you are here.

What do we do now? Run away? Hide?

Let's go have some fun.

What did you just say... Commanding General?

Let's go have some fun.

Is there anything you want?

You're... going to buy me stuff?

Do you... need more clothes?

Do you have... any money?

I think... I probably have a lot.

My salary from all these years...

Then... can I ask you to buy me all sorts of things?

Yes.

Clothes, shoes, jewelry, things like that?

Yes.

When?

Right after I delegate some stuff to the guys.

Are you that happy?

You haven't given up yet, right?

On what?

Making your antidote... and staying in this land.

Just you wait...

I'm going to make it for sure.

You never give up on anything, right?

That's why you'd better get used to it. Stop resisting.

You all must be discussing something very important.

Your Majesty, wouldn't you like to go out and do some painting?

Go out... and paint?

Yes.

You would need protection to go out and paint.

The Woodalchi General should definitely protect you.

I think... the High Doctor should come with you, too.

The cold wind might give you a cold... so...

Well...

those two don't have many more days left together.

And the High Doctor has to hide in the barracks everyday...

and the General is busy...

Your Majesty, has been working so hard day and night, lately. Perhaps taking a break would be good.

I guess they couldn't find an antidote.

That's right.

Then, she will definitely go back.

Would she not?

I fear what will happen then...

to the General's heart.

A general's heart would not shake for just a woman.

You don't know your own nephew's heart?

To him, she is not just a woman.

He... only after he got to know her... started to look at me as a person.

Before, he remembered my face as another king after the previous king.

But after he met her, he started to treat me as a real person.

I said let's just go to Yuan.

It's nice there.

This crummy place is just...

Well you wanted a safe place, so we had no choice.

It's been confirmed.

No need to worry about Choi Young. He can't use his sword.

Was she with him?

Like peas and carrots.

Should I bring her here?

Kill her?

Yang Sa.

Yes, Sir.

You sent someone to my sister, right?

Yes, I sent three separate messengers just in case.

They left early yesterday, so they should be crossing the border soon.

Crossing the border...

Get to the palace of Yuan...

Deliver the letter to my sister...

Raise an army and come back...

It'll take too long.

It'll take too long.

It's too far.

So what do you want to do then?

I'm going to the palace myself.

No matter what, that's nonsense.

It's guarded by the Royal army and the Woodalchi.

Why bother about the small fry.

We'll...

go straight to the heart of the palace.

How?

Somehow.

[Research Daily Record]

Wait!

I don't understand.

I'm not good at reading Chinese letters.

"Use poison...

to take care of poison."

Stay still.

You're distracting me.

This is another poison similar to "bijoongdok."

Is what it basically says.

A similar poison.

To cure "bijoongdok", use another poison that results with similar symptoms.

Whatever that means.

Like homeopathy? So what is that poison?

So one that is similar...

It says "Nokjudok."

Lady?

It's not an antidote.

It means adding poison to fight the first poison.

Even Dr. Jang wrote here that this in not advisable due to the high risk.

That's why he didn't tell you.

So be it.

No, it is not total nonsense.

Even where I come from, there are people studying that sort of thing.

I've been to a couple seminars on that...

It's too dangerous.

That person...

doesn't take his sword with him anymore.

After that...

I'm afraid of what he'll let go of next.

I'm afraid of what he'll let go of next.

I am scared.

That sword you just dropped,

didn't you carry it with you...

all the time like your own body?

But you are dropping it like it was nothing.

Maybe it's gotten heavy.

Sword? It's heavy?

Is it possible?

For the sword to be heavier all of a sudden.

Begin!

One!

Two!

Three!

The new recruits are just not as skillful.

Also, there is some conflict because we recruited regardless...

of their class and station.

This is a rough draft, check it.

You wrote this yourself? This?

What is "choongyongui?"

His Majesty wishes to organize a new military order.

A basic unit is one thousand.

I drew up tour units of its hierarchy,

training plan, scale of supplies, so take it to His Majesty and report it.

Me... the report?

Why not the General?

Dismissed.

And the sword...

You...

General!

What?

Don't you think it doesn't matter?

About what?

Your hand.

I don't know what's wrong, but...

Have you been blabbering about... my hand?

No way. Never.

So?

I saw you drop your sword.

So what?

Your hand shouldn't matter.

Can't you stay as our General?

If you need hands, I can be by your side.

Though it's no match to your sword,

my spear is pretty good, too.

With this...

can't I be your hand?

What a great hand you'd make.

Just protect your own head.

General!

That weird guy is here.

That weird high-and-mighty guy. He came for you.

There you are.

Prince of the Court Deokseong.

I've been waiting for you for so long.

Leader of treason, Gi Cheol,

and the two murderers responsible for the death of the Royal doctor and breaking out of prison.

You are under arrest.

Take their weapons.

I'll walk into the prison myself.

I just have one request.

The High Doctor... let me see her.

You're turning yourself in

just to see High Doctor?

Isn't that great for you?

My Pledged Siblings are not very easy to deal with.

I suspect fighting us three would be too much...

for your current condition.

High Doctor, are you there?

Yes.

The King and Queen are going on an outing.

The Queen has invited

you and Woodalchi.

I will also be going as well.

General!

If you don't want to, just say so.

What do you mean?

The Prince of the Court from Deokseong wants to see you.

Are you going to see him?

Will you be alright?

You'll be by my side, right?

Of course.

Then I'll be fine.

Now I remember.

Before, weren't we

in this same place, but in reverse roles?

That's right.

I should have killed you then.

What a waste of an opportunity.

She is here.

I will bring her forward as long as you keep your respects.

Of course, I will.

I will be fully respectful.

Do you know how much I've been looking for you?

I know.

And that's why you even caused Dr. Jang's death.

Ugh, my Pledged siblings have a hard time controlling themselves.

I beg your pardon.

I have

a sickness of the heart.

Can't you heal me, since you are a doctor.

Do tell.

Aren't you truly from the heavens?

I'm not.

Then... where are you from?

I'm from the world of tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

From today,

more than 600 years from today. The world of the future.

So basically, the children of today's people will grow, and have their own children, and

so on and so forth. A world from that future.

If I go there, can I be cured of my illness?

How are you ill?

My being is

already in possession of all there is to have in this world.

All things tasty, beautiful and rare.

And yet, I've still been hungry all this time.

So hungry that I've changed out the king. So hungry that

I've gouged out the eyes of men.

But, it is my heart that is hungry.

And so, it's also making my body ill.

If I go to that other world, can I be cured?

If that is the illness, it will be difficult.

Because that world has many more patients with your illness.

They all become hungrier as they gain more...

You are trying to fool me again.

You said that there were carriages that flew in the sky in that place.

There are.

Then what you just said can't be true.

How can people who live in such a place and have such things...

How can they still be hungry?

♪ At first, you pretended to not notice my mind,

♪ and faced away as if you're blind.

♪ Even if I try hard to hide, my clumsy love

♪ can't be hidden.

♪ Although my eyes erase you,

♪ my feet look for you again.

♪ Although my mind is hurt by you,

♪ I'm alright, because love is always hurting.

♪ My broken heart.

♪ It has you inside without permission, so this must be its punishment.

♪ Although I'm hurt by you,

♪ I can live on again because it's you.

Do you have a fever?

A bit.

Since when?

Earlier, since this morning.

You can't already be this way.

There is still time left.

So that's why I was thinking...

After the fever comes, you have seven days...

and then it's over.

That's what they said.

And that's what doctor Jang Bin said as well.

There are 10 days left for heaven's door to open.

So even if we leave now...

Listen, will you?

My fever is still mild.

So before it gets too late, there's something I need to do.

Since once the real fever kicks in, it won't matter.

Is there something that can be tried?

I'm going to try it later tonight, but

I need help.

You're sure there is something you have left to do?

But, for that time,

until then, please let my mind be at peace.

Yes.

General, you must be at peace

for my heart to be at peace.

Got it.

What else?

That's all.

♪ I will see you now.

♪ The love I've been keeping deep inside of my mind.

♪ I don't have confidence to hold on to my heart

♪ that keeps following after you.

♪ 100,000 times,

♪ I would like to call you.

♪ You have filled my empty heart.

♪ Engraved in my memory, until the end of my life,

♪ I wish to be with you.

So how is Prince Deok Seong?

He is ill.

He has "a hole in his heart."

That's the way he once described it.

Your Majesty...

I don't want to think about that man right now.

Because right now I need my heart to be at peace.

That is what she has asked of me.

Therefore, please allow it to be.

Then let it be.

This is still just a brief underlying sketch.

He says that he will fill in the colors when he returns to the palace.

He is still watching, the General.

You love him, don't you?

Yes.

Did you already tell him?

What those words mean.

The General doesn't really like

learning the language of the heavens.

Queen,

and Lady Choi,

and Doh Chin,

Sorry to ask this, but can't you go over there and be together with them?

You mean next to the King?

Yes.

I just want to see all of you together at once.

So I can remember all of you together in one scene.

Okay.

Subtitles brought to you by The Faith Team @ viki.com

Are you listening to what I'm saying?

Tomorrow there will be an imperial hearing at the Royal palace main hall.

To there, I will probably be summoned by myself.

During that time, you will take care of the matters as we discussed

and find the item, and then come for me.

I will be with the King.

High Doctor, I have brought it here. The Nokju poison.

I was told that this is a very dangerous substance, and you must take caution.

Thank you.

I was told that even the smallest amount will lead to immediate death.

I am aware.

I will dilute it by more than 1:1000 and use it that way.

Ok.

Dae Man.

Where did she go?

She went to the Royal Medical office.

Why there?

Should I go and look?

Are you really going to follow through with this?

Lady Choi.

Do my words matter little to you?

That is poison. Poison that kills man.

As if it's not enough what you've already had to endure, so you will add to it?

I can explain the science and logic behind this, but

this is...

What is this?

What is it?

What was it I just heard about poison.

This is it. What I said I needed to do this evening.

What I needed your help with.

You will help me by my side, yes?

So you are going to drink poison

to overcome poison?!

Yes.

And what are the chances of success?

In all honesty,

I have no idea.

I'm the first patient to have tested this on.

But I can tell you this much.

If I just sat here and didn't try anything, and the real fever starts... that will be the end.

Doesn't this show the marked days until when the heaven's doors will open?

Yes it does.

Because I thought we had this many days left,

I kept trying to come up with more things to do for you.

But if that experiment tonight fails,

there is nothing more I can do for you.

Even if to make you smile.

I can't slow this down any farther.

How can you put on such a calm face?

How can you do that?

So, since this might be the very end for me,

should I sit and wait while crying?

That's too depressing.

I have faith that things will go well.

Things will go well. I will survive.

I can survive, and then be by this man's side.

So, it's okay.

The High Doctor, is she alright?

What is she saying?

Dae Man, open the door!

Hurry up, hurry up!

Is that the fever remedy?

If this works properly, I will start getting a fever.

I might even become unconscious.

Even still, you must leave me alone, as it's a sign that my body is fighting it.

I understand.

And if day breaks and my fever has not gone down,

then please use the fever remedy at that time.

Since a prolonged fever will not be good.

Please also keep me hydrated.

I will do this.

But just in case...

I will be here.

How is she?

The day has broken, but her fever won't go down.

Her head is boiling hot.

Why don't you take a break? I will step in.

This woman... she isn't taking a break.

She fought all night long, without giving up.

I know. She is the type.

Why don't you go and gather your strength since we don't know how much longer we'll have to fight this.

I'm giving you my emergency aspirin.

In case you get headaches as a side effect, or for pain, take two tablets three times a day.

Prince Deok Sung, Gi Chul

You have committed high treason and sins against the heavens.

Your Majesty, there is one thing I need to ask of you.

That hand!

Protect his majesty!

What's going on?

Captain! There's a crisis... That weird man has captured the king.

What? Who?

Prince Deok Sung, Gi Chul.

Go. I will look after the High Doctor.

Young...

Your majesty

Please, take cover.

Stay right there.

Prince Deok Sung, Have you lost your mind?

What do you think you are doing?

It's nothing much. I have just come to claim what is mine.

So, why don't you stay here, and

Tell these other men to all leave.

They are too much in the way!

Woodalchi Choi Young...

The Prince has gone mad. He has gone mad senseless.

Prince

What is it that you want?

Where is the High Doctor? I need to take her with me.

Don't.

Over here.

Don't!!!
