Episode 13: Saktalgwanjik

The stripping of one's title

Back then and even now,

you are the one
who was not able to arrest or stop me.

It is a treasured inkstone
that was not easy to obtain.

To present it to you,

I came as fast as I could—

- Your Royal Highness.
- Your Royal Highness!

My goodness.
How could this have happened?

Allow me to escort you

- to your quarters.
- I am fine.

I am all right.

Let us hurry.

Please watch your step.

Just like I was back then,

I am still incompetent.

I have not been able...

to protect anyone.

Oil

Come along.

Oh, no.

- Fire!
- Fire!

Oil

- Oh, dear!
- My gosh!

- Over there!
- What is happening?

Oh, no.

- Everything is burning!
- My goodness.

Where are they going?

What is happening?

Get some water!

Take him to a room and dress his wounds.

- He seems to have lost a lot of blood.
- Yes, ma'am.

Come with me.

Take him.

Can you heat up the room
and warm some water as well?

Yes, ma'am.

You are bleeding.

A butcher like me sees blood every day.

What about you? Are you not hurt?

Thank you

for helping my friends.

I did not do it to hear you thank me,
so just keep your promise.

At the end of the month,

a foreign ship I do business with
will arrive at Ganghwa Island.

I will make arrangements
so you can board it.

Do that for me, will you?

I also

wish to thank you for
keeping your promise

to never take a life.

Since your friends escaped, you will be
the first one they will suspect.

They will come after you,

so you should get some sleep
while you are here.

I have no intention of letting
you stay here for a long time.

Gosh.

You poor thing.

Mother?

- (Distribution Receipts)
- I offered up

countless things to Park Seung.

I have distribution receipts
with all the details.

Distribution Receipts

Distribution Receipts

My lord.

Park Tae-seo escaped
the execution grounds.

Father.

Yes, my dear son.

Do-soo, you woke up. What is it?

Tae-seo... Is he not dead yet?

No.

But you need not worry.

I will take care of everything.

Just focus on your recovery.

Do not be concerned.
Do not worry about a thing.

This will not do. I will go to Banchon.

I will go there myself

to buy that thing you like

and get some meat as well.

Good boy.

Lord Yi-eon must have
a lot of work to do, as usual.

Let us hurry so that he can have
some good food and perk up.

He probably has to
work all night again, right?

Hello, sir!

What brings you here?

Junior Sixth Counselor Ra Yi-eon
is our master.

We are here to give him this.

This too.

Junior Sixth Counselor Ra?

I saw him leave the Palace earlier.
I thought he went home,

but I heard some criminals escaped
the execution grounds today.

So he must be very busy now.

What?

They escaped?

Bi-ryeong, get some rest.

My gosh! I told you to get some rest.

Jo-yi, I am really okay.

You are just not feeling it yet.
You must be exhausted now.

You testified during an interrogation
in front of the King.

- Put that away.
- My goodness.

So? Do you feel okay?

- What?
- What?

Yes, I am totally fine.

Really? You do not seem well though.

You should not be sitting up.
You should lie down.

Come on.

- Lie down.
- I really am okay.

No. Do not get up!

Lie down. Do nothing else.

Okay.

I see that you got so many orders.

Yes.

Thank goodness I can work very fast.

You do not just work fast.
You are the best dressmaker.

Some noble ladies
offered to pay me extra

and asked me to
make their dresses first.

Word about me has spread too.

A scholar's family asked me
to write a talisman for them.

A scholar? You mean, Lord Choi?

Yes! That is me!

Jo-yi, we may really end up
buying this house at this rate.

Yes. If we scrimp and save a little more,
we can actually make it happen!

Where is Gwang-soon?

What? Oh, where is she?
She is not back yet.

She said she had something to do.
Maybe she is busy doing that.

Really?

Hold on, did she...

What if she found herself a suitor?

Then I would be so happy for her.

Anyway, lie down and get some rest.

I shall go buy oxblood
so I can make you some soup with it.

Jo-yi, you do not need to do that.
I am really okay.

How dare you!

Stay in bed until I come back.

Understood?

Okay.

I will be back.

Is anyone home?

- Who are you?
- And you?

Well, I...

came to look for

Ra Yong-kyun who I heard lives here.

Is he at home?

Ra Yong-kyun?

- I do not know anyone by that name.
- What?

He used to live here.

He worked at the Medical Institution.
Does that not ring a bell?

You mean that crazy doctor?

Yes, he is a doctor.

I heard he moved
into a temple near Hanyang.

Excuse me?

Do you know the name of the temple?

Of course not.

And that rumor
went around a long time ago.

I see.

- Father!
- Leave.

Father!

Goodness.

Why did you come back?

Did I not tell you to leave?

What has gotten into you, Father?

Leave this instant.

Leave this house right now!

Where am I supposed to go?
I only just came back from Qing.

You should not be in this house.

Leave. Hurry up and leave.

Father, are you embarrassed
that I was taken

to Qing?

Do you know why I came back alive?

Do you know why I put up
with all that humiliation and returned?

Because of you, Father.

You only have me.

And I only have you.

So I endured all that I went through.

But are you

ashamed your daughter came back alive?

I am.

So do not return to this house.

Never again.

I am not ashamed of myself.

I will live on one way or the other...

and never return.

Please stay healthy.

He is still my father.
I should go see him.

He said a temple nearby Hanyang, right?

Let me go find that place.

Let me do that.

Goodness, my lord.

Give me the best beef you have,

regardless of the price.

Anything for you, my lord.

Do you have oxblood?

Please wait a minute.

I have a customer who came first.

You are just in time. A cow was caught
for an ancestral rite back at the academy.

Please wait while I get it.

Where have I seen him before?

By any chance, do you have that?

My son is feeling low on energy.

- Would you like some of that as well?
- Yes.

Here, my lord.

It is ten yang in total.

Right.

What is it that he purchased just now?

If it is something good that will
restore one's energy, give me one too.

Do you even know what that was?

It is a poppy capsule.

It is given to cows to lessen their pain
when we catch them,

but it is best not to try it at all.

Here, it is one pun.

Boil that beef and serve it to Do-soo.

Understood, my lord.

Do-soo.

- Jo-yi, are you back?
- Yes.

I bought some oxblood.

It will not take long to cook,
so do not come out.

- Jo-yi!
- Jo-yi!

If it is not Yuk-chil and Goo-pal.

What brings you two here
at this late hour?

Did Lord Yi-eon come by?

No, why would he this late in the night?

He is not here.

Maybe he is still at the palace.

He must be swamped with work,
having caught all the criminals.

Actually...

Park Tae-seo that jerk ran away
from the execution ground.

- What?
- Our lord might be on night duty today.

So we were taking him a meal box

when we bumped into
officials going home.

They told us he had
already left the office,

but he has not come home yet.

Then where did he go?

Do not tell me

he has been going after
the criminals all by himself?

So tell me. Are you making me
answer for the crimes

you believe to be true?

Back then and even now,

you are the one who was not
able to arrest or stop me.

You should know
that I foresaw everything.

I knew...

that you would act as predicted.

We must find him.

Yes, we must right away.

Where will you go
in the middle of the night?

No matter where he might be,
we must go find him.

I almost forgot.

Have this with Bi-ryeong, okay?

- Wait.
- Hey.

Perfect quality meat

and rich smell.

- This truly is high-quality beef.
- This truly is high-quality beef.

Here. It is the young master's.

Okay.

Having lost

the felons right in front of their eyes
during the execution,

Director Shim Tae-sun is to be
demoted two classes down

and Counselor Ra Yi-eon is to be
removed from the government office.

The King's Order

Let us see.

So this is what
a stripping order looks like.

The Office of Special Counselors
is known as the Jade

since those of value
are appointed there.

It is the most desired office
anyone wants to serve in.

Those of value? As if.

Dung is more like it.

That is the better word
for someone as pathetic as me.

Does this mean you got the boot?

Yes, that is correct.

I was stripped of my title.

It is actually for the best.

You can focus more on your health.

Or maybe I will...

open a dumpling diner.

Sounds great. I will get to eat
your dumplings every day.

Right.

It is a great idea.

Making dumplings for a living.

It is music to my ears.

Despite all the hard work you do,

you are left with deeper wounds.

Should it not be more rewarding?

The healing of the body is one thing,

but what about your mind and soul?

You work hard to do what is right,
but it comes with many sufferings.

Despite there not
being much to live for,

you must live out that life.

And that angers me.

Sometimes, I am done with the day
from the moment I wake up.

But it is not like
we can take our own lives.

So even though life is depressing,

we must sleep, eat, and drink water
when our body calls for it.

I do not know...

if I can get back on my feet again.

Lord Yi-eon,

I am sure you will find
your strength again.

How about a wager?

That was so close.

Please help me.

No way. It went over!

It went over. How did you do that?

My lord!

Look!

This is where my shoe landed.

It is now your turn.

It seems as though I have won.

It was a close game,
so we will do it again.

I got you.

You have been tagged.

I got you.

- Goodness.
- There!

You have been tagged.

My lord, you will pay for that!

I am exhausted.

My energy is depleted
and even you threatening to eat me

will not make me move.

Only someone with a low level of energy

will be out of breath
after light physical activity.

You are one to talk.

I can see that your eyes
are starting to lose focus.

As if.

I am not tired at all.

Jo-yi.

Yes?

I am the one...

who won all three games today.

Did you know...

that you called me by my name...

for the first time?

Up until now,

people have addressed me
as a wench, a cow, and a lowlife.

But upon meeting you,

I became Kim Jo-yi again.

Lord Yi-eon!

Lord Yi-eon, I know that you are here.

Lord Yi-eon, please how yourself!

I found you.

It is your turn to find me next.

Why are you just standing here?

Have you not played
hide-and-seek before?

It is your turn to look for me.

The game will restart.

Would it be wrong of me...

to stay hidden?

Would it be wrong...

to stay away?

Yes, it would be wrong.

Remember what you promised me?

I will arrest all those bad guys

and show you the world
is not that of a cruel place.

So show me.

Who cares if you fail?

Who cares if it does not work out?

What could you be afraid of...

when my heart beats for you?

Yes.

For your sake,

I shall start over.

The sky is so beautiful tonight.

Well, then get home safely.

I will. Go on inside.

Okay. I wish you sweet dreams.

Thank you. I wish you the same.

Wait.

I feel like what I ate earlier
is just sitting in my stomach.

Do you know of a nice trail nearby
where I could go for a stroll?

I feel like I still need to digest
what I ate earlier too.

I was thinking
of going for a walk as well.

- May I accompany you?
- Yes, please do.

Well, I should head in now.

Yes. You should really go inside.

Yes.

- By any chance...
- Yes?

Did you see our poster on our way back?

I do not think I did.
Did it fall off? Where did it go?

Shall we go back and check?

Yes.

- You should go inside.
- Yes.

- By any chance...
- By any chance...

By any chance, did you...

By any chance...

It is really time for me to go home.

Yes. I truly wish you a good night.

Thank you.
I truly hope you get home safely.

Noodles...

Do you want some?

Noodles?

Yes, noodles.

Noodles... That would be nice.

Oh, dear.

I threw in more firewood,

so it will get warm very soon.

Okay.

Here.

Sit down and make yourself at home.

Okay, I will sit right here.

The noodles...

I will go and make the noodles.
Give me a moment.

Okay.

My lord.

Young Master.

Oh, why are you still awake?

How could we sleep?
We had no idea where you were.

Are you all right?

We were worried sick
as we looked everywhere for you.

Sorry about that.

Anyway,
we are relieved that you are okay.

You should have told us
that you had come home.

Right, I should have. Sorry about that.

Oh, right. Did you meet Jo-yi?

She went out to look for you as well.

She has not come home yet either,
so her housemates are all worried too.

Well, I suppose we missed each other.

In any case, you are okay, right?
You are not hurt?

No, I am truly fine.

I am perfectly fine.

That is good to hear.

Will you stop following me around
and just go to sleep?

You made noodles
in the middle of the night?

And why two bowls?

My hand slipped, so I ended up

making too much food.

Then why are there
two sets of chopsticks?

Do not tell me...

This must be for us.

You are truly kind.

We were hungry, so this is perfect.

- Thank you so much.
- This looks great.

- Let us go.
- Okay.

- We have the best master in the world.
- Totally.

Those darn fools...

Well...

Sorry, but I will have to cook for you
another time.

No problem.

Young Master,
is someone in there with you?

Young Master?

My gosh.

He is already asleep.

He must have been exhausted.

Sleep well, Young Master. Let us go.

This looks delicious.

Thank you for the noodles, my lord.

I can feel

- his love for us.
- I know.

This was made with lots of love.

He would never make this
for anyone else.

- Not even for a lady he fancies.
- Never.

It would never taste this good.

His noodles really are the best.

Yes, agreed.

What now?

I hope he had some
before he went to sleep.

He stayed up to cook for us.

When he rolls up his sleeves to cook...

It looks like

you will have to spend the night here.

- Gosh, it is hot.
- It is hot.

- Is it?
- But it is good.

Did you have a good night's sleep?

Yes. How about you, my lord?

Greeting the morning
with you like this is nice.

Yi-eon, are you in your room?

I brought some honey.

Goodness, I dropped the honey.

Grandmother.

Grandmother?

Hey, stop running away.

- Goodness.
- Try to catch me.

I did not know you were there.

How is he doing?

He is out of the woods.

I should be the one to be punished.

But that helpless boy...

Who would have thought
we would meet again like this?

It is fate set by the skies.

So what will you do?

I do not know either.

Is there a point in talking to him now?

Should you not resolve
the relationship you twisted?

I must come clean of the sins

I have committed.

That is my inevitable fate.

I will take revenge

on all those jerks who made you
like this, so do not worry.

Dad.

Yes, what is it?
Would you like something delicious?

Not that.

How about some new clothes?

I was just about to get some socks made.

Goodness.

Dad.

Back in prison,

I was not trying to give up your name—

I know. I know everything.

It was because you were dead scared.

It is those guys who are bad

for driving such a naive boy
to the edge of the cliff.

Those are some nasty guys to egg you on

to betray your own father.

I do not blame you at all,

so feel at ease.

- By the way, Dad.
- Yes?

What about Tae-seo?

Was he arrested?

I heard the soldiers are after him.

But catching him will not be easy.

Then what do we do?

Just the thought that he is alive
makes me lose sleep.

Right. I will take care of that too.

We are in big trouble
if you cannot sleep.

Then what about the inspector?

He even knows

what we did to the Crown Prince.

Dad, I am terrified.

It seems he has all the evidence.

What will we do if we get arrested?

Now, now. Stop crying.

Do not worry.

I have everything planned.

What will you do?

They say

one must keep one's enemies closer.

Anyway, do not worry about a thing

and get better.

When I was entrusted with this case,

I was also granted the right
to inspect Ganghwa Island.

I will order Gokdu Guild to be fixed

for you to use.

I heard the view from there is amazing.

Does that mean
we will go to Ganghwa Island?

Instead of Chungcheong Province?

It is smaller than Chungcheong Province,

but we will get some fun
out of maritime trading.

As expected of you, Dad.

The boss of the nobles, the founding
contributor of dethroning the king,

and the real king who controls the king!

My boy. My baby boy.

Sit down.

- Yes, Madam.
- Yes, Madam.

What is your name?

I am Kim Jo-yi.

Madam.

Grandmother.

Your esteemed mother?

Madam Cho.

Madam Cho.

Judging by your appearance,
you are not from a noble family.

I am from the upper-middle class.

People are forcibly parting ways
due to the war,

so what do class and family matter?

Do you want to get kicked out?

You look quite old,

so why are you still single?

You see...

Is not asking such personal questions
on your first encounter a bit...

I had a divorce.

What did you say?

A divorce?

Are you saying you were kicked out?

She had her reasons.

Her ex-husband
had a lot of gambling debt—

Are you the one who got the divorce?

I was not kicked out.

I filed a lawsuit to end the marriage.

Living with my in-laws was not easy,

and my ex-husband was not a kind man.

Marriage is not playing house.
There will obviously be difficulties.

More than difficult,
it was close to slavery.

What a groundbreaking reason.

Could it not have been

your lack of patience and tolerance?

That too is true.

I am also an angular stone
who does not follow customs.

But I think the world's customs
are unfair.

The world hates me
for being a wild girl,

so it is only fair for me
to hate the world as well.

- What she means—
- Yi-eon, leave us.

Was I not clear? Give us the room.

What you wish to say
should be addressed to me.

- Jo-yi—
- My lord.

You should wait outside.

No, I will be the one
to talk to my grandmother,

so you can wait outside.

No,

this conversation should be between
Madam Cho and me.

My lord!

You should head outside.

Where do you wish to go from here
with my grandson?

I do not expect anything from him.

All I wish is to stay beside him.

What I want to know is your intention.

If it is marriage you want,

you will have to kill me first.

I have no intention of marrying him.

Once a woman marries,
she is bound by rules and regulations.

I am well aware of
the sacrifices that are entailed.

It is why I wish to live
the remainder of my life

as Kim Jo-yi and not as someone's wife.

Living on my own is not an issue for me.

I have even been making a good living.

Despite the hardships,
I am satisfied with my current life.

You little minx.

What you are worried about
will not happen.

Also,

I am clearly aware
of our nation's customs.

A marriage between a nobleman
and a divorced commoner?

No one has to tell me
how hard life will be for the nobleman.

I am someone who adores Lord Yi-eon,

not someone who wishes to ruin his life.

Someone who knows that

should be keeping her distance from him!

But I am not the only one with feelings.

Lord Yi-eon adores me
as much as I adore him.

You only scolding me for it

seems quite unfair.

Lord Shim, what brings you here?

You were ordered to
return to the palace.

The palace?

But I have been stripped of my title.

I am just as baffled.

It feels like you are
getting the runaround.

One can only assume that
you will be given a special assignment.

What on earth is going on?

Your new positions will be announced.

In regard to the wrongful execution

of the punishment
of Park Tae-seo and the rioters,

Director Shim will be demoted
to First Counselor.

Junior Sixth Counselor Ra

will be demoted to Eighth Counselor.

First Royal Secretary,

did you say Eighth Counselor?

I have been stripped of my title
and am in no position to be appointed.

Could there have been a mishap?

You were only given
a newly appointed position

due to His Majesty accepting
the new director's plea.

The new director?

That is all that will be announced.

Any questions can be taken
to the new director.

Lord Shim.

"As the shade as my friend,"

"I walk to the Seoha Pavilion."

"If this is not paradise,
I do not know what is."

I can feel the dignity in the air

being here at the Jade.

As a loyal subject,
I have received the royal command.

I am Park Seung, the new director
of the Office of Special Counselors.

Aconite, Aconite Plant

Aconite, Aconite Plant

I see that you have done excellent work.

You conducted a thorough investigation.

Good work.

Was this really the only office
or department you could be appointed to?

Records of Chungcheong Provincial Office

There are 11 positions
in the State Council to covet,

so why did you choose to come here?

How dare you?

That is not how you speak to a superior.

February 1 to February 17

What do you think you are doing?

This is what makes life entertaining.

One does all the work

while one reaps what they sow.

Look.

Wait.

I understand how you feel,
but do not act hastily.

Who knows what will happen

if you go after Park Seung again?

This time around,
it might end with a beheading.

I will not take his life.

Taunting us is obviously
entertaining for him,

so why would I kill him?

Then what do you plan on doing?

The search will begin.

I will start over.

Good. Take the rest of the day off.

I will cover for you.

Find what we need.

What a pile of useless documents.

I should take them home
and use them as firewood.

Gwanghwamun

- My lord.
- What happened?

It was just as I suspected.

He is in the best position to get rid
of the evidence that was collected.

That was a clever move on his part.

We should be grateful
that Lord Yi-eon is smarter.

If not, all the evidence
would have been destroyed.

Pharmacy Journal

Head to Jinin Temple with this

and look into
the deceased abscess specialist.

Absolutely.

In the meantime,
I will head to Ganghwa Island

and look for any signs of Park Tae-seo.

It is now time to fight back.

Underage actors were managed with care.

We thank Lee Jun-hyuk, Jo Kwan-woo
for their special appearance.

Secret Royal Inspector Joy

Can I not persuade you
to stop investigating this case?

This is a case I must wrap up.

A rush order of socks came in.

Is this Lord Park Seung's residence?

I am looking for someone. My father.

We will accompany you
until you find him.

Jo-yi, I do not wish
a rocky life for you.

A marriage would be ideal.

If you do not wish to marry,
then stop seeing that girl.

No amount of regret or resentment

can change your past.

I said, out of my way!
