Oh no...

What...

I did treat a patient with a puncture wound recently.

Who was it? Does he live in this village?

He is the son-in-law of Yeon, the beacon man.

He lives in the uphill village across the stream.

Where have you been? I have been looking for you!

Look at all this.

What happened to my house?

Your house is the least of your concerns.

You must save Hong Shim.

- What? - Mean-looking thugs...

took her away with them.

What for?

How should I know?

I was outnumbered so...

Anyway, now is not the time to lose it.

You must save your daughter.

- Hong Shim? - Yes, now get up!

Hong Shim? Hong Shim!

Hong Shim!

It is the house on Gomdallae Road with a cherry tree in its yard.

Is the Hong Shim they are referring to...

(Episode 7)

He is here.

It is you, Won Deuk. I almost did not recognize you.

Won Deuk, get out of here.

You wench. Shut your mouth.

Won Deuk, save yourself. They are not a match for you.

Get out of here!

Did you hear that? She told you to run, so go.

Get lost.

Why did you kidnap this lady?

She is a decent looking girl, so I thought we would have some fun.

This is from a spindle tree. It is mostly used to make canes.

That dumb jerk.

Gosh, he never listens.

I would have preferred an ash tree,

but this is not a bad choice to put menaces in their places.

Why? When hit with it,

it hurts like no joke.

Did you hear that?

Boys, get ready.

Won Deuk.

Hong Shim.

- Won Deuk. - Hong Shim.

- Won Deuk. - Hong Shim.

- Hong Shim. - Where are you?

- Won Deuk. - Hong Shim.

Goodness.

Shouldn't you run away at this point?

I have this sword in my hand, so you might get killed.

- Gosh. - Let's go.

Are you okay?

That's what I should be asking.

It's dangerous to go back to our house,

so let's go to a pub in the marketplace.

It would be hard for them to attack us with people watching there.

Even if they do, we might easily ask for help.

Can you go down alone?

What are you talking about? We should go down together.

I am going to chase them.

The sun will go down soon, so be careful.

Wait.

Let me wrap something around your arm.

It is bleeding.

You have only a few skirts as is,

so do not tear it.

What is the big deal about this mere skirt?

I will see you at the pub.

Darn it.

The younger brother of Chief Censor Jung Sa Yeob...

and the court lady from Jungungjeon.

Why did you sneak in there without anyone around?

I was lost.

I have not been so long since I started to work at the palace,

so I get confused every time I come in.

Arrogant punk.

I will wait and see until when you can play innocence.

I...

was only trying to give back an ornament to my friend.

You must have gone there to find the talisman.

The despicable talisman which you hid to harm...

the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

That is not true. What do you mean, talisman?

I do not know. I know nothing.

There is no need to hear more from them.

Start the interrogation.

Begin.

- Yes, Master. - Yes, Master.

I really know nothing.

Why did you sneak in Gyoyeondang?

Was it the chief censor's orders?

No. I do not know why you are interrogating me,

but I have nothing to do with talisman.

Do not stop the torture until he confesses the truth.

- Yes, Master. - Yes, Master.

Stop.

Stop the torture.

Are you not aware that this interrogation is being performed...

upon the royal decree?

Chief Court Lady, hurry and inform the Vice-Premier.

We have searched every corner of Gyoyeondang,

but found no talisman.

Are you insisting that they hid talismans when they never did?

And you are trying to get their confession by torturing them?

Is that not something we call, fabrication?

Do you think we are not aware of your dark intention?

I shall petition the King for this myself,

so you better put your hands off this interrogation.

You do not deserve to be in charge of it.

Minister of War,

bring four more chairs of torture.

I am glad you came.

I was going to have you come here a few days later.

While you are here, I shall interrogate you.

Vice-Premier Kim, how dare you say that?

Perhaps,

you came here because you were worried...

those two might speak of your name, is that not right?

The doors of Gyoyeondang...

were locked.

Even eunuchs were not allowed to enter there,

but the brother of the chief censor sneaked in.

How will you explain it?

Because of a love affair.

That punk was arrogant and lewd since he was little.

It has been a long time since he was shunned by the family.

I am sure he sneaked into the empty chambers...

to hit on the court lady.

- It is a conspiracy. - He...

sneaked into a place where he was never supposed to,

so you should deal with him according to the law.

But you cannot torture that court lady...

without the Queen's permission...

until you find evidence or justification...

to torture her.

If that evidence is talisman,

I shall find it for you.

Nonsense.

How can you find it when it does not exist?

I am not sure.

Will you...

give me a chance?

- Hong Shim. - Hong Shim.

- Hong Shim. - Hong Shim.

- Hong Shim. - Hong Shim.

- Hong Shim. - Hong Shim.

- Hong Shim. - Hong Shim.

What happened?

Are you okay?

What are you waiting for?

Let us go get those thugs.

- Let us go. - Okay.

- Hurry. - Let us go.

Are you not hurt?

What is this? Oh my goodness.

I am okay.

Those darn thugs...

Your father and I...

almost stopped breathing out of worries about you.

I am sorry.

I will not let them get away with this.

I will carry you on my back. Here.

- Get on. - I am okay.

- No, thanks. - Get on my back.

I am okay. It is just my wrists.

- All right. - I am fine.

By the way, where did Won Deuk go?

He ran really fast, so I thought he went to save you.

- He did not come? Darn that... - No.

He came...

Do not tell me that he ran off without you.

I want to climb down quickly.

- Okay, let us do that. - Let us go.

Let us go.

- Be careful. - Careful.

Walk slowly. Gosh, I will not let those thugs be.

Gosh, be careful.

- Be careful not to trip on a rock. - Okay.

That court lady did sneak in Gyoyeondang to retrieve talisman.

But the court ladies could not find any of it...

even after searching everywhere.

What are you waiting for? Hurry and look for it.

I need some white sugar.

White sugar?

Why do you need that to find a talisman?

Get it for him.

Yes, Master.

What can he do with that precious sugar?

Even if he does not find it, we have nothing to lose.

He has dug his own grave.

You allowed them into Gyoyeondang?

If I said no,

would the Vice-Premier bow and just walk away?

He would have caused a fuss saying I wish to hide something.

What will you do if they do find a talisman?

They will not.

Not even the court lady...

or maid who stuck it on herself could not find it.

A special ink is used to write a talisman.

It is also used to cover the paint on palace walls.

That ink...

keeps the insects away.

Well done.

Take him back for interrogating.

I just found you the talisman.

That proves I do not work for the queen...

and that I was not bribed by Chief Censor Jung Sa Yeob.

Why must I be interrogated again?

You helped conceal the talisman.

That is how you found it.

Who put you up to this?

You had better confess soon.

- It was the Crown Prince. - Stop.

The Crown Prince...

got me this far.

What...

do you mean?

A few days ago, the Crown Prince gave me an order.

The Crown Prince has passed away.

What do you mean you were given an order a few days ago?

I request a private audience.

Or shall I...

speak right here?

Four grown men...

could not fight off one dull-witted man?

He was no ordinary man.

I had never seen someone with that kind of skill.

He was on a whole new level from...

the marketplace thugs.

Do you think that makes any sense?

How could a commoner like him have such skill?

I would not dare lie to you.

If I had not fled,

he would have beheaded me.

You fool. Do you know how much I paid you?

Bring him to me this instant!

Hire someone else.

I do not want to lose my life over this.

How dare you?

Calm down, my lord.

There must be another way.

Who am I?

I am the magistrate.

It just seems so strange.

This Won Deuk.

What? Is that true?

I got hit a few times and so did Hong Shim.

I cannot believe that happened.

Who would abduct a woman in broad daylight?

Let us not waste time. Should we not tell the magistrate?

We must find out who they were...

- and have them punished. - Right.

Should we not find Won Deuk first?

You said he went to save Hong Shim.

Where is he?

I bet he got scared and ran off. The idiot.

Come and have a drink.

A drink is what you need after a scare like that.

Is it free?

What do you take me for?

I am not that hardhearted.

Then I will drink. Pour me some.

Here you go.

Are you waiting for me?

Where were you all evening?

You seem very worried.

Of course I am. I am human too.

Why would I not worry?

Why worry about nothing?

You must have seen my amazing prowess.

Now do not tease me about being useless with my body.

Take off your clothes.

My clothes?

Here? Why?

If someone of your status showed up wearing an expensive robe and hat,

what would the others think?

Stand still.

Why did you press down?

You showed off so much on the mountain.

- Are you whining now? - I am not.

Look at the blood.

Okay.

I will be gentle.

Oh... Sorry, sorry.

You are whining.

How did you receive an order from the late Crown Prince?

Via a secret letter.

- A secret letter? - Yes.

I investigated his secret letter...

which led me to Gyoyeondang.

It was by pure chance that I met the court maid.

What did the secret letter say?

I cannot tell you.

Like I said, it is a secret letter.

I must see it.

You cannot.

If it were for your eyes too,

the Crown Prince would have left it to you, not me.

A secret letter you cannot show anyone?

Are you trying to deceive me by speaking of a secret letter...

that does not really exist?

My lord, I...

Why would the Crown Prince leave a letter to someone like you?

Do you think I will believe you?

If the secret letter exists as you say it does,

you had better prove it.

I wish we had some medicinal herbs.

This should alleviate the pain at least.

I do not think it will.

I will punish the men who did this to you.

Leave it. Revenge is for the powerful.

People like us should be grateful that...

we got out alive.

"People like us"?

What people are you talking about?

We may be humans but are not treated as ones.

Only noblemen and women are considered as people.

From now on, do not challenge stronger men.

I do not want to see you get hurt.

Sure. I will not from now on.

Anyway, where did you learn how to fight like that?

I do not know.

Do you still not remember anything?

What is it? Do you remember something?

Yes.

I remember being good at martial arts.

Am I perfect or what?

Knowing how to read is outstanding enough,

but I am even good at martial arts.

I see you know nothing about being modest.

You seem to be all right now, so I will get going.

Get some sleep.

Stay with me tonight.

That is an order.

Please keep it safe for me.

I appreciate you putting your faith in me.

Someone might come for this.

It could put you in danger.

My life is unfortunate anyway,

so I will not be surprised to die at any time.

Just take me flower watching...

before this spring passes.

That alone is not difficult,

but my heart already belongs to another.

Home is where the heart is.

Come with me and you'll see.

You must stay safe.

Stop looking at me like that.

I will not be able to turn away.

I see.

Then I will.

Good night.

All right.

Scream, and I'll slit your throat.

Words should come first.

I may be a lowly gisaeng,

but it is rude to grope me without asking.

What are you doing?

My injured arm is throbbing,

so it needs to be elevated.

Stay still.

What is it?

Can you not sleep?

No, my eyelids are heavy.

Stop looking at me and sleep.

Did you find it?

What happened?

The performance troupe that came though dropped it.

Beom went after them to see where...

they saw this man.

We'll locate him before day breaks.

How dare he try to fool with me.

What is it, my lord?

This is not the Crown Prince's secret message.

Have him kneel before me right away.

Yes, my lord.

Your Highness, what is this message you wrote?

Who is there?

I apologize for waking you up,

but is this not where my father sleeps?

Your father?

Oh, right.

Yes, he is here.

No, he is not.

He probably went to relieve himself.

Gosh, you startled me.

Now, I have a desperate favor.

Can you please close the door?

Of course. Good night.

You too. It is late.

Where on earth did Dad go at this hour?

Seok Ha.

They probably did not make it far.

Look under every rock. Go!

Everything will be fine, Yi Suh.

Seok Ha...

Your brother is right here.

I did not leave you.

Yi Suh, open your eyes. You must wake up.

Search every corner!

- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.

Seok Ha.

I am scared.

I will draw their attention.

Run when the sound of the dog barking fades away.

- Can you do that? - No.

I would rather die here.

If I do,

I can meet Father.

What do you mean? Did you not hear what Father said?

"Survive. It is your father's orders."

Are you not going to listen to him because he passed away?

Still, do not go.

Without you,

what am I supposed to do?

If we part away,

I will see you on Mojeong Bridge at the end of the month.

Be on your toes.

Run away if the barking sound fades away.

- He is over there. Chase him. - Let us go.

- Get him. - Stop.

That way.

Stop.

Take the guards away.

My sister is dead.

So do not look for her.

We should take her body for a funeral.

If you do not order the guards to stop,

you will see your daughter die in front of you.

Sacrifice is necessary for a great purpose.

If you can kill her, go ahead and try it.

If you take after Yoon Boo Joon, you would have a large caliber,

but you would be...

weak-hearted.

Take my throat.

Instead, spare my sister.

You already have the world,

so what is the use in taking the life of that mere girl?

You should take some sleep at least for a few minutes.

My heart is troubled. I wish to finish the job as soon as possible.

Why did you volunteer for such a cruel job?

How could people like us...

kill the Crown Prince?

I have made a bargain.

After this, we will not have to kill any more people.

Not just me, but you too.

We cannot kill people until the day we die.

Especially, I have...

someone waiting for me.

Have you found the whereabouts?

Yes, it is Songjoo Village.

Goodness, Master.

What brings you here at this hour?

I have thought about it all night,

and I cannot stand it anymore.

I should arrest Won Deuk and kill him in a straw mat or something...

to feel reassured.

Okay, Master. Let me go dress up first.

Well...

What is this?

This...

What?

What kind of punk did this scandalous deed?

What a great timing.

What?

It does not matter who sent this.

Go arrest Won Deuk right away.

I have an idea.

Okay.

He is there. Get him.

- Stop. - Get him.

- Stop there. - Stop.

- Stop. - Get him.

- Stop. - Stop there.

- Get him. - Get him.

Meok Goo.

Run towards the pub...

and look for a poor scholar with a sharp nose and friendly eyes.

I'm busy. My lady has given me an errand to run.

- I will give you two puns. - What do I do after finding him?

Tell him to come to the magistrate's office. It is urgent.

Make sure you pay me two puns.

Stop right there.

- Stop. - Stop.

- Stop. - Stop.

A poor scholar with a sharp nose and friendly eyes...

should come to the magistrate's office.

- What are you talking about? - It is Won Deuk's message.

I am getting two puns for it.

Did he not tell you the reason?

There was no time for it.

Patrols were chasing him to arrest him.

He was busy running away.

A curse or medium to kill someone is a wicked trick.

It is a mortal sin that deserves a death penalty.

The Queen has to be an example of her people,

but instead, she has talked about ghosts and mysterious phenomenon...

and harmed the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

We are terribly worried it might be carried down the generations.

Also, the unfortunate death of the Crown Prince...

must be relevant to this matter.

Your Majesty, please depose the Queen and Prince Seowon...

and upright the discipline of this country.

Please give us your royal answer to our appeal.

- Give us your royal answer. - Give us your royal answer.

Please give us your royal answer to our appeal.

- Give us your royal answer. - Give us your royal answer.

Depose the Queen and Prince Seowon, Your Majesty.

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

Please give us your royal answer...

- to our appeal. - Inform the court immediately.

- Give us your royal answer. - Give us your royal answer.

Depose the Queen and Prince Seowon, Your Majesty.

I need to know why you arrested me.

An arrow was shot with this warning letter this morning.

You despised me with this warning letter.

I perform the country's affairs under the King's orders,

so despising me means despising the King.

It is no different from high treason.

Do you have evidence that I shot the arrow?

Here. The poem written here...

is the one that you chirped about...

during Master Park's birthday feast.

It cannot be evidence.

Anyone in the place could have heard the poem.

I was so annoyed by the way you talk.

You think you are a nobleman or something?

You do not know your place.

I shall remind you of it.

Go on.

Tie him to the rack.

- Go on. - Yes, Master.

Master. Master.

Master.

What is all this about?

The magistrate is carrying out some official business.

This is no place for you.

Tie him up immediately.

Yes, my lord.

Stop. My husband Won Deuk...

is too dumb to do anything and you were shown that already.

You were told that everyone gossips...

about how useless he is.

What could he do wrong that he should be beaten for?

Do you think I will fall for your lies again?

I saw him recite poetry...

and heard that he is a skilled fighter.

Did you send those thugs?

- What? - The ones who hit me.

- My goodness. - He hired them? Why?

Do not just stand there.

Tie him to the rack!

- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.

You cannot.

- Oh dear. - The poor thing.

- Are you okay? - Oh no...

Oh dear, poor wretched me.

I finally got married at 28...

and they trashed my house...

and now they are beating my husband.

How am I to live if he breaks a leg?

Oh dear, poor wretched me.

How...

What are you doing?

Untie him.

Every petition is the same.

They all want the Queen and Prince Seowon to be deposed.

What am I to do?

Your Majesty, Prince Seowon is here.

Let him in.

I apologize for the concern.

I do not have the time to speak with you.

I came to ask you a question, Father.

Right now, whom do you think rules the country?

What is it you wish to say?

The interrogation began...

and the talisman was mentioned less than a day ago.

The interrogation should be carried out in secret.

How did everyone find out in time to submit hundreds of petitions?

That is not all.

The Seonggyungwan scholars' riot,

the strange posts in the marketplace.

The only explanation is that someone planned everything.

Is that someone...

the Vice-Premier?

Yes.

He wishes to sit above you...

and rule this country.

Stop!

What do you know to say such a thing?

Your ex-wife Shin.

The Crown Prince's mother you failed to protect.

Prince Seowon.

How dare you...

Will you risk...

losing my mother and me as well?

Shoot the arrow.

If you are able to,

that means you are the one who...

notified us of the attack.

That is flawed and unacceptable logic.

I have practiced archery for many years.

If an arrow cleared the wall and ended up over there,

it was not shot from nearby.

It had to have been shot from...

at least 400m away.

I returned to this area six years ago.

I have never seen anyone in this area shoot like that.

The only suspect is you whom I find very suspicious.

I am unable to shoot an arrow.

He cannot even use an ax or a sickle.

He cannot even carry jars of water. How could he shoot an arrow?

Shut your mouth!

Do you not know I lost my memory?

I have no memory of shooting an arrow.

How could I know how?

You had better shoot one anyway.

If you do not...

she will die.

What is he saying?

If you shoot the center of the target,

that proves you shot the note...

so you must pay for it with your life.

If you are unable to shoot the target,

that means you are masking your skill...

and for covering it up,

your wife...

will have to pay with her life.

- She must die? - No.

That is just unfair.

What now?

Is this how...

you threatened the people?

Take the bow!

I am very impatient...

and do not like to wait.

No. Do not do it, Won Deuk. You must stall.

What is he going to do?

Shoot the arrow.

Her life...

is in your hands.

What is he doing?

Was he hit?

Go on!

Grab him. I will behead him myself.

Give me that.

Where is he?

- You... - Make way for...

the Royal Inspector!

Who is that?

I am the King's Royal Inspector...

Heo Man Shik.

Jo Boo Young.

Go on your knees.

Why me?

I did nothing wrong.

Did you not?

Here.

A list of corruptions you committed over three years.

- Read it. - My lord.

Please forgive me.

Tie up everyone...

who was involved.

- Yes, Master. - Yes, Master.

Are you all right?

How can I be? You almost gave me a heart attack.

It was my mistake.

I was aiming at the sword that was at your throat.

You said you didn't know archery,

so why come up with such a plan?

Once I picked it up,

I had a feeling that it was possible.

If your arm was not injured,

you would have shot the sword.

That is not why I lost my grip.

A memory came to me.

- What was it about? - It may have been an illusion.

I should not have said anything.

Your arm. We cannot leave it like this.

Let us go to a physician.

No, I have someone to meet first.

It is the poster from the marketplace.

The Capital District Office takes it down whenever one goes up.

Exactly.

I told you that the chief governor should not be so thorough.

Yes, my lord. I will remind him.

The court fooled us all by announcing that...

the meeting with the king was postponed.

Prince Seowon was allowed an audience with His Majesty.

Could he have affected His Majesty's weak mind?

What about the joint appeal?

I am afraid it cannot happen today.

Chief Scholar of Office of Special Counselors...

lost his son in an unfortunate event.

Today of all days.

Go ahead and meet with His Majesty.

I must first stop by Crown Princess' chambers.

Yes, my lord.

I was reported of someone's death.

Chief Scholar of Office of Special Counselors's son.

The annex caught on fire.

I was out of the palace on your orders...

when I witnessed the fire myself.

Good.

Now, there is nothing standing in your way.

I will stop by Jungungjeon to greet the Queen.

I wish you the best at the cabinet meeting.

Of course.

Where are you taking me?

Gosh.

Save me. Please save me!

- Good riddance. - Take that!

What a relief.

Goodness.

The sable fur and grains he made us give him...

were all part of a scam?

He presented them as bribes as to...

move up in the king's court.

Darn it. We worked all those years for nothing.

That ingrate!

Could he not have arrested Master Park while at it?

I know.

He cannot get away from this since the magistrate is taken away.

Anyway, I could not be more relieved!

- Me too. - You know,

Governor Jo is no longer here,

- and that we should celebrate. - A party?

When did you come up with such a good idea?

Nice!

Goodness.

What a treat.

- Right? - Tell me about it.

Why was the other Master Park not taken in too?

- That is right. - Should not he be taken in?

What did you just say?

What was that?

Are you saying that I am just as bad as Governor Jo?

Do you have any idea how much I suffered beneath him?

If it were not for me, you would have been beaten up more.

Who stopped that from happening? Me!

Do you think I had it any better?

I never had any power when with Governor Jo.

If only you knew.

Wait, hold on.

You did many things that seemed otherwise though.

Stop it already.

Stop crying. You can party with us.

- Of course. - Yes, let us party.

I have a bottle of alcohol I stole from Governor Jo.

Just so you know, it is impressive.

It truly is. Alcohol tastes best during the day,

and we are a family.

- Let us go then. Come on. - Here we go!

- Come on. - Off we go.

Yes!

Are you the one who sent that note with an arrow?

I am.

You do a shabby job for a Royal Inspector.

What?

Because of that note, me and my wife almost died.

I had no idea it would turn out that way.

I am sorry.

By the way, did you know that I was a Royal Inspector?

How could I not know when you made it look obvious?

What? I made it seem obvious?

Recently, you came by the pub.

Did my wife come by here?

How should I know who your wife is?

You must have seen her at the recent party.

If you had not stuck your leg out, nothing would have happened.

My wife and I would not have had to defend ourselves.

Yes, she was here,

but I do not know which way she went.

Can I ask you something?

You recited a poem at the party.

Where did you learn it?

I do not know where I learned it.

I only said what came to mind.

That is the poem I wrote during the state exam.

Has it already spread across the country?

You knew I was a Royal Inspector with just that?

I hoped to give you the ledger,

but I was annoyed to see that you were gone.

How did you end up with the ledger anyway?

Your wife gave it to me this morning.

Your Majesty, no one has ever schemed against...

the Crown Prince and the Princess in our history.

It shakes the foundation of our beliefs...

and degrades the discipline of the Royal Family.

Depose the Queen and Prince Seowon...

and show the people who is in control of this nation.

A talisman alone cannot be grounds of a royal's deposition.

In the streets,

rumors are flying about how...

the Queen ordered the assassination of the Crown Prince.

To be blinded from the truth because of some groundless rumors...

is not a quality a politician should hold.

Blinded?

The talisman was not the only attempt the Queen made...

on the Crown Prince's life.

I agree that the talisman is worthy of punishment,

but there is no evidence...

that proves she ordered the assassination herself.

I will have chief censor and Prince Seowon...

look for the evidence at Mount Chunwoo.

Giving that task to chief censor and His Highness...

is like asking a wolf to look after sheep.

How dare you say that to His Majesty!

Your Majesty,

Office of Trial Processes can solve this instead.

I urge you to change your mind.

How dare you!

Are you saying you are against my orders?

I apologize for not coming by often lately.

Today of all days though,

you suddenly felt the urge to ask how I am doing.

I have not been able to sleep well this entire month.

Coming to think of it,

I guess it is thanks to your gift.

To repay you of your kindness, I have also prepared a small gift.

What is the matter? Are you afraid it is a talisman?

It will come in handy once outside the palace gates.

Do you like it?

Crown Princess...

You seem to be in a bad mood,

so I will now excuse myself.

My apologies.

I am pregnant.

It has been a while that I found out about it,

but I could not let others know due to the unfortunate incidents.

The talisman which you stuck in my residence...

must not have been effective.

I order you to reinvestigate...

on the Crown Prince's murder case.

Until the culprit is clearly revealed,

I will not decide on anything.

Your Majesty.

If you lose the people's support, you will lose the country.

Do not turn a blind eye on a wail of the people outside the palace,

or you will lose their support.

The support of the people follows the light.

We must reveal the truth...

and move the people's hearts with it.

He is right.

Your Majesty.

I became in charge of the trial process...

so that I could punish...

those evil people who harmed the Crown Prince.

I executed the trial without any personal bias.

I just found evidence.

So how could you not trust me?

It is not because I cannot trust you.

I must care about a crown prince position.

If I depose Prince Seowon, who is my only heir alive,

how will this country be?

Is that all your concern?

Are you not worried about this country's future?

If that is the concern, you do not have to worry.

Please forgive me for overstepping my bounds,

but you already have another descendant.

Vice-Premier Kim.

What are you talking about?

The Crown Princess...

is pregnant.

She is pregnant...

with the Crown Prince's child.

Your Majesty.

Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

How did she know that he was a royal Inspector?

It is of no use to get married.

I am taking off my clothes to go to bed.

Do not get the wrong idea.

Do not get sick or hurt.

Your body is not yours.

It is mine.

Do not pick flowers from now on.

Wherever they bloom,

flowers are most beautiful to stay where they bloom.

Ripping off poor people...

is not something a man should do.

Come to think, she uses both the dialect and the standard language.

- And... - Do not read then.

"Yeon Hee's face was shining in the moonlight."

"It was beautiful."

She knew how to read,

but she did not think of earning money with it.

Why?

There are around 500 households in Songjoo Village.

I shall search the marketplace,

so you should look through the houses.

Do not use the composite.

Retired officials might...

recognize the Crown Prince's face.

Hurry.

What would you have done if the royal inspector had not shown up?

I thought the two of you would get killed today.

I have a question.

You have so many questions.

What are you curious about this time? Go on.

Do you know how Hong Shim parted away with her brother?

Hong Shim does not have a brother.

- She is the only child. - But...

I heard she parted away with her brother.

Maybe she meant her older male friend.

I'm her older male friend too.

Have you not heard anyone with a handsome face is a brother?

She might have had a brother.

What do you mean?

I mean, her real family.

Are you saying Hong Shim was adopted?

Her dad brought her from somewhere instead of his dead daughter.

Why did you not tell me such a crazy story until now?

Because you did not ask me about it.

- Is that a reason? - If...

you see Hong Shim, tell her to come to the barley field.

The barley field? What will you do there?

Stay out of someone else's business.

He is not just someone else.

Won... Where did he go?

I am envious of Hong Shim.

Why are you so surprised?

What do you mean, surprised?

I am just having hiccups.

It is not your duty today,

so where have you been since yesterday?

What's wrong with that hand?

I left something behind on the beacon mound.

The beacon mound?

The house became a complete mess,

and your daughter came back after getting kidnapped.

Won Deuk is hurt too.

In all this ruckus,

you went to get something you left behind?

That is how it is to work at the beacon mound.

You do not know what will happen when.

Do you know why I came back safely...

after getting kidnapped by the thugs?

That is because you are good at fighting.

No, it was thanks to Won Deuk.

He came to save me.

He overpowered those armed thugs with swords...

only with a branch.

That did not look ordinary.

Maybe he got trained hard during his military service.

When you were away, he was arrested to the magistrate's office.

He did archery there.

If he had not had any experience with it,

he wouldn't have done it that skillfully.

Who is he?

What are you saying?

Won Deuk is Won Deuk.

Is that right?

Where did you say he lived?

Well, on your way to Zelkova Village...

past Chestnut Tree Village...

Lead the way. Let us go together.

What are you talking about?

I am calling him Won Deuk because he is Won Deuk.

I would not call Chun Deuk, Won Deuk,

nor call Man Deuk, Won Deuk.

Tell me the truth.

Who on earth...

is Won Deuk?

Father.

Hong Shim, I am sorry.

I am sorry.

Are you looking for something?

I would like a pair of shoes...

made of blue silk with cherry blossoms embroidered on them.

Shoes with cherry blossoms embroidered on them...

This is the only pair.

Those are not cherry blossoms, but plum blossoms.

Both the kinds have five petals.

Petals of plum blossoms are round.

Petals of cherry blossoms have a cleft at the tip of each petal.

Is that right?

I did not know they had such a difference.

It cannot be helped. I will chose that pair.

Okay, please hold.

Here you go.

Thank you.

(100 Days My Prince)

If I were really Hong Shim...

and you were really Won Deuk,

how would that have been?

Come here. Let me give you a hug.

Whether he is a stranger or someone else, you like him.

You were married for days and you did not bed her?

Drink this and get some action tonight.

It smells of something nice...

that gets men crazy and out of control.

We are married and should consummate the marriage.

I will not let you go tonight.
