-=This drama is created with the background of the historical facts from the

founding of Goreyo by Taejo Wang Geon until ther rise of 4th King Gwang Jong=-

Don't push me away. Don't ask me to leave.

-=Episode 10=- Don't push me away. Don't ask me to leave.

That I'm the cause of misfortune,

and that I'm not human, but a beast... Don't say that.

You at least, can't do that.

Because you...

are my person.

I am not your person, Your Highness.

You are my person, You belong to me, You're mine!

~ That time, don't break away, from me... ~

~ You are... my love ~

That can't be.

You are mistaken.

They left... the palace, you said?

How can they...

It's definitely true!

Would I be mistaken about Sister?

If we just ask the gate guards, we'll know.

How can a palace maid leave the palace?

Would Brother So care about that?

I'm sure he took her out on a whim.

If caught, the one punished would be Sister.

We must quickly go find her.

I'll also get my horse ready, call servants and--

You return to the palace.

What?

If your night out is found out, it's not good for you either.

Go back.

I'll go and look for them.

Thank you for your concern,

but I can't just walk away.

If it becomes known that Sister Su left the palace,

we don't know what can happen to her.

Let's go look together, brother.

Fine.

I've... treated you too much like a child.

I'm sorry.

I trust you.

Neither I nor Your Highness... can escape punishment now.

Then, shall we just run away like this?

If you say we should, I will be fine with that.

Even if one day I must leave Songak,

I surely wanted to bring you here.

I've always felt that I was being forced to leave.

Why I must do that... is unclear to me even now.

I haven't brought anyone misfortune,

nor have I killed animals for the fun of it.

I've never used my sword lightly on people either.

But still, do I have to leave?

So it was an illusion. Right. I must've had just an illusion.

Rather than be scared, I must prevent this man's misfortune.

Your Highness, I hope you can live your life with a relaxed mind.

Leave the Royal Palace, and wherever it is,

without feeling injustice, and without blood stains on you,

please live with a smile.

What if you also were to come with me?

I am a palace maid.

I must stay at the Royal Palace.

Then, I won't go either.

And also, I... have someone else I like.

Baek-A?

No. It isn't Baek-A, but...

Then it's fine. As long as it's not Baek-A, it's fine.

If it's another man... maybe I will kill him anyway.

What?

When you were whipped by Yeon Hwa and I said you were mine,

right then, you were already my person.

You saw me as just what I was.

You needed no explanation or excuse from me.

What you said about being scared of me...

I won't believe it.

Because you are my sole confidant.

So, I don't feel any guilt.

Whether in kissing you,

or dragging you here on my own whim,

and also,

in threatening you to not have another man in your heart,

I'm not going to feel sorry.

Take this.

I've been wanting to give you something.

I only wanted to help Your Highness.

I never wanted to ask for your heart.

Try running away from me, then.

If you don't want to wear it, just throw it away.

Sister.

Sister Su.

How did you know, to come?

Are they already looking for me at the palace?

Luckily, so far only Brother Uk and I know.

Pretty soon everyone would've known.

So hurry up and go!

Seriously!

What is this that you're doing?

I brought her out, so I'm the one to take her back too.

If you go back in together and people see you, they will talk a lot.

That will make it a worse problem.

Su.

His Majesty has already bestowed her on me.

Me taking responsibility is the right thing.

Bestowed on you?

I will go back with the 4th Prince.

Please go back without worrying.

Since the 4th Prince has said he'll be responsible,

it's fine for you to do that.

You will go with the 4th Brother?

Yes.

You must be true to your word. Su getting hurt... cannot happen.

I wouldn't want that either.

Brother, you can't let them go like that.

There's no guarantee that Brother So will actually return to the palace!

If that's the case, I won't be so forgiving.

What?

Letting them go like that... will happen only this once.

Madam, it was... I...

It was I who dragged her out,

so don't blame this child.

Did you say you left the palace?

His Majesty had ordered that she could assist me in anyway.

I had a reason to go out.

Be that however it may,

taking the king's palace woman out, can be seen as a provocation against His Majesty.

So, are you going to punish her?

Must you do that?

Your Highness, you should go back.

The fewer the eyes that see, the more likely you will avoid trouble.

I guess I'll trust you, Court Lady O.

Your tiniest good intentions, have set off a wave in the 4th Prince's heart.

This is why I kept saying that this is not a suitable place for you.

Inside the Palace, you just cannot easily show goodwill to anybody.

Each and every step you take should be careful like walking on thin ice.

Only then,

can you save yourself.

What... should I do now?

You can only wait for the 4th Prince's heart to cool off.

It's a strike!

It's a strike!

It's a strike!

You missing on this... is quite rare.

Such days are needed for one to work harder.

Every time I shoot arrows, I remember somebody.

The one who became a hero instead of me.

The face of the one who pulled me down and took my position.

If I have that deep in my mind as I shoot arrows,

there is no way I can miss.

It's a strike!

What about you?

Who is your target?

When I shoot, I have never before had anyone in mind.

Those like you without a clear target, could easily waver, right?

I now have to leave Songak.

Your Majesty is sending me to die quickly,

so I must stay alive and come back.

I am sure you will remain safe.

Of course.

I will be coming back intact.

But you too should think well when I'm not around,

who will be interesting to have as your target.

You and I... have a lot in common on this, right?

I will be back soon.

By that time, you should have a good plan.

I shall wait for the day when you get back safely.

Let's go.

Have... you got angry?

I had gone with the 4th Prince, just on a quick trip... only to see the sunrise.

It was out of a fear that you'd get blamed, that I stuck to the 4th Prince to get back to the Palace.

It's not that I'm angry. Rather I'm just sad.

Always saying you should be with me, I've been just leaving you confined to Damiwon.

But, So...

took you out just like that, right?

I want to request that His Majesty allow us to be married.

Get married?

The moment I heard that you'd disappeared,

I thought about the time when you were chosen as the king's concubine.

Thinking I had again lost you, I got so anxious I can't even say.

Never again

do I want to make that same mistake.

Like my wife used to say,

I've always been a man filled with worries.

The burden on my shoulders is too heavy.

Being uneasy about the future,

even sleeping is something I feel guilty about.

To that me,

smiles, light humor, and even a poem... was again brought by someone.

That was you!

I want to leave the Royal Palace, take you to Hwangju and live happily.

Whatever debts I owe my wife, I want to repay it all to you.

So Su,

are you willing to be my companion?

This person will never change.

He will not hurt me.

If it's this person,

I can be happy.

But what if Gwang Jong kills him?

You don't like... to stay by my side, then?

No, no, it's not that.

Then,

you don't believe my promise?

It's... It's not like that.

Then could you answer me?

Will you marry me?

What are you both doing now?

When the princes were here bathing, the girl who sneaked in here was you!

I'm sorry, Madam.

Court Lady O... Let me explain!

If someone were to discover this tryst,

who will be the first to be taken out dead?

This place will be sealed immediately.

Whoever has an affair with a maid, no matter the rank, will be punished severely. Please remember that.

Let's go.

You...

leave the palace with me!

What?

As I'm in ill health, the Royal Physician advises me to recover outside the palace.

Let us go together to my hometown.

Though I was cautious right from the start about your relationship with Prince Wang Uk,

now, hiding is the only solution.

The 8th Prince... has proposed a marriage. My thinking is likewise.

Think about the 4th Prince!

Caught between two princes, you hope to survive?

If either changes his mind, you'll have no life left.

8th Prince is different. He will never change.

No.

The palace is a place that can make any promise to be unfulfilled.

The unnamed commander I fell in love with, also...

Yes,

that person ascended the throne, as you would've guessed.

While at one time he had hoped to marry me,

to hold on to the throne, he had to forget the daughter of a herbs merchant.

But I still wanted to remain by his side.

if not as his woman, at least as a palace maid, and I vowed so.

I made him tea, washed his hair, changed his clothes,

Calling my earlier lover "His Majesty",

I helped bathe the women he was with.

Su.

Take a step back and look clearly.

If you don't leave now, it's misfortune for you too.

The prince said that... we'll leave the palace and go to Hwangju.

As long as there's no greed for the throne, we can be happy.

I trust the prince.

I came to see if you were safe and sound.

I will speak to Court Lady O,

so you just take rest today.

Your Highness,

Please go to the dressing room. I will help you.

Your Highness, it's not that I'm scared of you or that I don't like you.

I am just worried.

People, whoever it is,

treasure those who are by their side at their most difficult times, helping their morale.

They believe that the other one is the sole person with them, in their world.

That kind of a person,

is called a friend.

Whether it's friendship or love, all feelings are feelings of heart, but also...

different. They are different.

that difference... was misunderstood by Your Highness, I feel... so I'm worried.

It's you that I'm worried about.

I'm not somebody who sets his affections evenly like that.

Whether it's friendship or love, it's all the same to me.

It's all one thing.

You seem set on pushing me away, come what may.

None of that will work on me.

Didn't I ask straight, to be prepared?

Don't worry.

I'll no longer do that without permission.

Sister Su!

Here, there, here!

You've improved a lot!

If I haven't, after being head-slapped so many times,

then I'd be the world's biggest idiot.

There, here, there!

Got you!

Here. If you do it hard, that's fine.

If anybody sees, I'll be the palace maid arrested for hitting a prince.

Look at you talk. When I saw 4th Brother dragging you off, I was so scared.

You didn't get hurt, right?

Where exactly did he take you to, Sister?

He gave me a horse ride to catch some breeze.

A lot of fun, you see?

These days, Brother So has been doing whatever he wants.

I don't really like it.

Be a teeny bit understanding of your older brother.

Prince Jeong, you grew up getting so much love from the Queen,

But your brother hasn't had it.

Neither has he had any close family.

As for goodwill, will it come just like that?

That also requires effort, before it comes to you.

Since Brother So entered the capital,

Mother and Brother Yo have changed so much.

You're not blaming that on the 4th Prince, are you?

No, though I know it is not all because of Older brother,

if it weren't for him,

Mother and Brother Yo's tricks could've just stayed unknown to me.

Sister, I really miss the past.

We had a time of great harmony, right?

Sister, you also was prettiest when smiling at Brother Uk's residence.

I also sometimes think the same.

I want to go back.

What were you saying just now?

At the Double Ninth Festival banquet, I'll ask His Majesty's permission to marry Su.

-=Double Ninth: Lunar, 9th month, 9th day=- At the Double Ninth Festival banquet, I'll ask His Majesty's permission to marry Su.

Once Hae Su leaves the palace, I'd like to take her to Hwangju to live.

Though I know that the family has high expectations of me,

I'm not interested in the throne.

The palace politics is utterly detestable, to me.

So I only...

want to live with peace of mind.

Giving up the throne, and abandoning mother and me,

you want to live just a gentleman life?

Then what about us?

Who will protect our clan?

Even without ascending the throne, there are many ways to protect them!

Trust me.

Have I ever opposed anything that you've wanted to do?

If you're clear this is what you want, do as you want.

Make your own mark.

Just that... it won't be easy. You must be fully prepared, mentally.

Su also would deeply thank you, Mother.

You should've persuaded him, and stopped him, Mother!

Even I find the Hwangju family's greed irritating. Won't Uk be even more so?

Your brother's burden, is heavier than you know.

Leave him to do what he wants to.

Mother, just 10 years ago you had to leave the palace, framed for His Majesty's favorite palace maid's miscarriage.

Despite knowing that Queen Chung Ju Won was behind it, nobody stood up for us.

Sinju's Gang clan.

Myeongcheon's Pak clan,

Uiseong's Hong clan,

Gwangju's Wang clan...

If he doesn't ascend the throne, they can attack us at any time!

The Crown Prince is different from His Majesty.

The situation in the country is also different.

Don't worry excessively, tormenting yourself.

For me,

it is time to untie myself from your apron strings, mother.

Yeon Hwa...

Hereafter, I will have to change my goals.

If I won't be the King's daughter or sister,

I will have to be a God above the king.

You don't need to forgive me.

Your Majesty, Princess Yeon Hwa requests an audience with you.

Princess Yeon Hwa?

Hadn't you asked me to come if I had something interesting to tell?

Today, I would really like to tell you something.

Is that so?

If you say so much as that,

then I must certainly listen, right?

I am all ears!

-=Gyobang: Palace entertainer girls' training center=-

A girl who dances well has newly arrived, they said?

If I don't check and approve, I won't be doing my patriotic duty.

So let's have a look. Let's see.

Over there... who goes there?

Are you doing well, Jong Ja Gi?

Why are you here?

You, who directed you to follow me?

Who exactly are you?

I was out there at Gyobang to give dance accompaniment.

I wasn't following you.

Is that true?

Every time, Jong Ja Gi, it's you following me, isn't it?

Don't you remember?

I didn't know you're able to do it even at Gyobang.

There's nothing I can't do.

Rather I can do many things well, and am famous for it.

I didn't expect Jong Ja Gi... to be a Gyobang escort girl either.

Your speech seems to show you're of a noble house.

Whether you do music or drawing, just go make your living.

Casually judging people, is a bad habit.

As we've met 3 times now, we should at least exchange surnames.

What is your name?

Jong Ja Gi?

I'm Bok Sun.

U-Hui, you should return to the dormitory.

Oh, right...

Bok Sun...

She has a biting tongue.

Damn!

U-Hui.

So it will be U-Hui, then?

Drive wedges among the King, the Crown Prince and the 4th Prince... What are you suggesting?

We must convince His Majesty that the 4th Prince is the Crown Prince's enemy.

As long as Your Majesty Queen pretends to support the 4th Prince,

-=Left Prime Minister. Pak Yeong Gyu=- As long as Your Majesty Queen pretends to support the 4th Prince,

-=Left Prime Minister. Pak Yeong Gyu=- I will take care of the rest of it.

I've given the debt receipts of the Crown Prince's uncle to the 4th Prince.

When the debt receipts surface, the Crown Prince will suspect that it's the 4th Prince's doing.

Yo will be at Seogyeong, seeing Wang Sik Ryeom too. Everything is lining up nicely!

I too will have to crack the whip.

Let's go.

Why must you go and look for the Crown Prince's family?

I want to go and settle something.

Don't tell the Crown Prince anything.

Yes, but Brother,

Is it true that you took Su out of the palace?

Su is a palace maid.

If you treat her like a commoner girl,

you and that girl will both be in big trouble.

Don't make things hard for her.

It was not to cause any trouble.

Trying to make her life difficult?... Certainly not.

It was... just me being a bit clumsy.

I don't know how to communicate with people.

Even such a thing leads to blame?

Su being... regarded as that dear by you, was unknown to me.

In this world, you and Hae Su...

Only you two are my people.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Right now, a major disturbance is on at the Cheondeok Palace Hall.

There's a petition against the Crown Prince's family on having collected double taxes.

The heads of clans are all petitioning His Majesty to remove Crown Prince from the position.

Crown Prince, haven't you also known about your family's fraud?

There is a report that you were also present during tax collection.

It's only later that I found out about this matter.

My external family also says that it was a mistake.

Left Prime Minister, for you to talk like this,

is to deliberately exploit the commoners, isn't it?

If you're planning on framing somebody, don't!

Did he not say that he knew only later?

Not being able to prevent the malpractice of one's external family is also a crime.

Your Majesty, we the high officials,

believe that the nation's future cannot be handed over to a Crown Prince who lacks virtues.

Might you consider this?

Might you consider this?

So, who would you like to take over at the Crown Prince's position?

Your... Your Majesty!

-=Minister: Pak Sul Hui=- Your... Your Majesty!

Are you trying to get the Crown Prince deposed?

An alternative is needed if we are to follow the high officials, to depose or expel the Crown Prince, right?

Then, to lead Goryeo in the future as the Crown Prince,

which prince is the most suitable,

is what I'm asking you to propose!

Your Majesty, your subject finds the 4th Prince the most suitable.

4th Prince... Wang So, you mean?

Prince Wang So has already been acknowledged as adopted away.

So no family will come forth to cause trouble as maternal relatives.

And, when he led the rain offering, he gained trust from not just the Royalty, but the whole nations' commoners.

So he will be most suitable to be Crown Prince.

I'm very sorry, Brother Crown Prince.

I didn't expect things to turn out so badly.

What do you mean?

I was only concerned about you, so I told Brother So about it.

Believing him to be the most trustworthy person with you, brother Crown Prince,

I had shown him your uncle's written agreement.

4th Brother knows about my family matters?

On that... since I told him myself, there is no question.

But I didn't expect, that even your position would be threatened with that.

I deserve death, Brother.

The time has come for your return to Sinju.

By the end of the Double Ninth Festival, you should go.

Must I... certainly do that?

There are folks putting you forward as Crown Prince.

Chungju's Lady Yu, your mother, is behind it.

Using you to fight for the throne, must be the plan.

Still, when I had no involvement, why should I be chased out? It is unfair.

People's hearts are crafty.

Athough it's not so now,

if things that rip your guts out keep accumulating,

you too can lose your present sincerity.

You are just the Crown Prince's shield, to receive the bad luck in his stead.

You don't even have a clue that your father is using you.

To Your Majesty... things like the sincerity of a son do not matter at all, as I see.

I too wish to keep you by my side for a long time.

However, what can we do?

Every issue must be destroyed at the root before it gets worse.

That is how the palace works.

Be sure to have that girl take it up there.

Yes, Court Lady.

I have carried it out as instructed.

Queen Chung Ju Won must remain unaware of what I asked you to do.

Yes, Princess--

I shall be careful.

You cannot go in.

Tormenting that much has still not made you satisfied?

When will you ever leave me alone?

You said you wanted to be King, didn't you?

As a mother, shouldn't I fulfill my son's wish?

Don't you worry.

As long as the plan succeeds, the throne is yours.

Save that lie about doing it for my sake.

I don't know what you're up to,

but it won't go like you want.

The Crown Prince... will die at the Double Ninth Festival.

The poisoned teacup has already been sent.

The Crown Prince being a tea-lover, stopping it will be hard.

Do you think I'll do nothing even after hearing this?

How will you say you knew of the poisoned cup?

Will say that your mom told you?

If I have to do that,

I'll do just that.

Oh, I see.

Then, I'll just say, I was planning to install you as King.

For the sake of making you King,

the whole Chungju family and the Ho clan mobilized, dug up the Crown Prince scandal, and poisoned him.

Already the joint agreement on installing you as the King is all prepared.

This is how the palace works.

Eating each others' tails one after another is the only way it goes.

If you can block the Crown Prince away from the poison cup, then block him and see.

By yourself, you would be walking right into the trap.

It will not go as you wish.

You still don't know that His Majesty has abandoned you?

If just one palace maid serving tea dies,

the Crown Prince is eliminated.

You will become the lord.

Mother, how would I believe you?

You said so yourself,

that even if you were to be King, you wouldn't kill your brothers.

I do believe you.

That is why I wanted to support you.

The Crown Prince's star, why is it so faint?

You should've waited a bit longer. Why did you want to meet now?

Hurry up on the revolt.

Without delay, a big fish has to be gutted.

This is Goryeo's king's palace.

It's not easy to get around to it.

Don't think of having other ideas.

If you don't cooperate in killing the king,

everything you did to HuBaekje will be made known to all of HuBaekje.

If I do that, will you be able to stay alive?

Hearing you call "uncle, uncle" for a long time was so cute, I felt.

Whatever I do to you,

what is it that you can do about it?

Except to chop you to pieces?

How could you be so casual with a Gyobang girl?

Please guard your dignity. I will keep this a secret.

It is a court musician.

You blasted bangle tease!

I thought you were a bit cute. Forget it!

But why is he here?...

Hey, are you alright?

If you were to pretend not to see, do it all the way... convincingly.

Hey I didn't need to step up, so what's wrong?

If you get this much of contacts, you will do just great at Gyobang.

This is yours, isn't it?

It seems you had no plans to look for it?

Wherever you are, and however I get to meet you again,

my lady, the debts of heart I owe you, will never be forgotten.

Now, I will fulfill my promise.

I will deeply cherish Hae Su.

Please protect and bless us.

-=The Double Ninth Festival=-

Gokbijeukjin!

-=Crossing arms and drinking liquor=- Gokbijeukjin!

-=Crossing arms and drinking liquor=- Gokbijeukjin has come up. Gokbijeukjin!

Who will Baek-A choose from among you?

Whether His Majesty who hasn't been picked even once so far

be able to dodge it this time too, is being closely watched.

Fine.

Who will drink with me?

Jeong!

This big brother wants to drink some chrysanthemum-flavored liquor with you!

I do not want to.

Grown men losing face... What Gokbijeukjin?

To say you "don't want to" here...

is simply taboo!

Come on.

Fine. Then, shall we try starting again?

The first line.

"A round flower ball, if it's hung up high,"

"it's heaven... that it's modeled after"

Second line. "If it's spotlessly pure yellow hue, it's earth's color"

Third line. "Planted early, if it blooms late, it's the gentleman's virtue"

Fourth line. "In deep frost, but if the nonchalant flower blooms, strong upright spirit, it is".

The fifth line.

The... The fifth line...

The...

- The fifth line. - The fifth line.

"On the wine chalice, if light petals stay, immortal is the cuisine"

It's by Zhong Hui of the Kingdom of Wei, 'Ode to the Chrysanthemum'.

Well done, Won.

Jeong, though you're good at martial arts, you must press on with your learning too.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Why?

The Crown Prince seems not to have good appetite?

I can't drink much today, I've caused you to worry.

Then let's call for some chrysanthemum tea.

Don't harm the body just to revel at a drinking party.

Court Lady O.

Get the Crown Prince some chrysanthemum tea soon.

I will comply with your order.

We're asked to take some chrysanthemum tea for the Crown Prince.

Wait a moment.

Su.

Can you brew the tea for me?

I'm sure that... I've caught a bad cold.

Oh, sorry.

The Court Lady has asked me to not serve the princes for now.

Nothing can be done, then.

- Are you all right? - Are you all right?

Come fast!

For your fault of dressing too slowly, we'll be chided by His Majesty. What will we do now?

What's this? See that look!

Don't tell me,

you think that I slept late?

Such thick skin.

Paying respects to Your Highness and the Lady.

I asked you to hurry up.

You have to accept respects.

What?

If Your Highness won't accept her respects,

she will have to continue standing there.

Lift your head.

As I hate seeing your mug, hurry and turn around!

Yes.

In future, whenever you meet me, turn around.

Understand?

My mood is spoiled, so I'm going back.

It's up to you, to follow me or not.

If you feel that hurt, why not listen to me and be the second wife?

Since you like the prince so much as to be this magnanimous,

please control him well, to not be like that?

Don't let him pick unnecessary quarrels in the palace.

As he is sensitive, please ask for care in befriending people.

Now that the prince's wife is me,

that matter is not for you to be concerned of.

First, we must test it.

This son... has something to say to Brother Crown Prince.

Go ahead and say it.

In fact,

If just one palace maid serving tea dies,

- the Crown Prince is eliminated. - The chrysanthemum tea will be served.

You've worked hard.

Fine,

so what did you want to say?

Yes.

Having recently disturbed the Crown Prince's state of mind,

this younger brother... would like to receive 3 cups of liquor from the Crown Prince, for deeper friendship!

That's great.

But rather than liquor, how about some tea?

With the mood on a day like today,

even drinking tea will be intoxicating, I hope.

Hand it over to the 4th Prince.

Yes.

I deserve death!

It was this son's fault.

As I just held a chrysanthemum pancake, my hand was oily...

Get a new cup!

With the first cup, I wish Eldest Brother boundless longevity.

With the second cup, to Older Brother who has been fighting for Goryeo, in battle...

...in battle, I wish you luck.

It's not the cup, but the tea that you poisoned?

I have... drunk the poison you poured me?

Finally,

even if somebody, whoever it is, were to use eloquent words but drove a wedge between us brothers,

I wish for our warm affection to still remain unchanged.

4th Brother's sincerity... makes me deeply thankful.

Your Majesty,

are you seeing my brother's sincerity?

How can I live apart from a younger brother like this?

I beg you for his Sinju dispatch-order to be kindly rescinded.

As there's no more water for tea, allow me a trip for that.

I will briefly...

leave the banquet.

Inside the room of a palace maid called Hae Su

the poison and a tribute necklace were found.

Damiwon palace maid, Hae Su, is being arrested as the prince's murder attempt suspect.

Why is a child being held unjustly?

I wonder if he knows who the murderer is.

The one he is protecting by giving even his life.

Who exactly is it?

I absolutely won't let Su stay in that place.

I definitely have to find evidence.

Hae Su, for conspiring to murder the prince, will be executed by hanging.

Su!
