2
00:00:24,123 --> 00:00:27,033
How could something like this happen?
3
00:00:27,033 --> 00:00:31,123
Who told me to interrogate her personally?
4
00:00:32,133 --> 00:00:35,303
How could you make me hear that evil curse
5
00:00:35,303 --> 00:00:38,303
from her dirty mouth!
6
00:00:51,353 --> 00:00:53,623
It was you, Right State Minister, right?
7
00:00:53,623 --> 00:00:58,193
Your Majesty, why are you concerned with the evil murderer's words?
8
00:00:58,193 --> 00:01:00,273
She's just a leftover bandit.
9
00:01:00,273 --> 00:01:01,903
A leftover bandit?
10
00:01:01,903 --> 00:01:05,573
Ten years ago, you arrested the leader of the bandits in the Byeokcheon of the Song family.
11
00:01:05,573 --> 00:01:09,443
Did you not receive a meritorious deed and servants as a result?
12
00:01:09,443 --> 00:01:13,103
So, how could there be any remaining rebels?
13
00:01:13,103 --> 00:01:15,813
Did you suppress the rebellion properly?
14
00:01:19,903 --> 00:01:21,243
There's more.
15
00:01:23,173 --> 00:01:26,083
I see that you all are part of the Jo family of Seongju.
16
00:01:26,083 --> 00:01:28,193
What are you men doing?
17
00:01:28,193 --> 00:01:30,903
You receive meritorious deeds and get paid by the nation.
18
00:01:30,903 --> 00:01:33,593
So what have you been doing?
19
00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:37,273
Is your nation Joseon or your family?
20
00:01:41,163 --> 00:01:46,613
I heard everyone in the Jo family of Seongju has a government post.
21
00:01:46,613 --> 00:01:48,833
I heard that in Bukchon, where you all live,
22
00:01:48,833 --> 00:01:53,113
your storehouses reek of rotting meat and fish.
23
00:01:55,393 --> 00:02:00,823
What did you do besides increasing your wealth and your family's power?
24
00:02:00,823 --> 00:02:02,673
Tell me what you did
25
00:02:02,673 --> 00:02:06,353
for me, the Crown Prince, and the nation!
26
00:02:10,093 --> 00:02:13,763
Your Majesty, of course, we felt terrible about this as well-
27
00:02:13,763 --> 00:02:15,373
Right State Minister!
28
00:02:18,673 --> 00:02:21,343
Do not say a word.
29
00:02:23,183 --> 00:02:26,993
I am not in the mood to listen to anything.
30
00:02:28,323 --> 00:02:31,753
Those who dare speak of what happened today at the interrogation
31
00:02:32,983 --> 00:02:37,263
or spread the news outside the palace
32
00:02:37,263 --> 00:02:42,053
should bear in mind that not only he
33
00:02:43,033 --> 00:02:46,373
but also his family and relatives will be severely punished.
34
00:02:46,373 --> 00:02:49,803
We will do as you say, Your Majesty.
35
00:02:53,583 --> 00:02:56,873
Go find Soon Dol.
36
00:02:56,873 --> 00:02:58,173
Pardon?
37
00:03:01,673 --> 00:03:03,893
Bring Go Soon Dol here.
38
00:03:05,783 --> 00:03:07,443
Stop right there!
39
00:03:22,903 --> 00:03:25,593
You dare attack my friend
40
00:03:25,593 --> 00:03:28,213
and student?
41
00:03:28,213 --> 00:03:31,163
You are dead now!
42
00:03:47,013 --> 00:03:48,463
It is dangerous!
43
00:03:48,463 --> 00:03:51,263
There are two assassins. You should not chase them.
44
00:04:02,553 --> 00:04:05,133
I need to go to His Highness.
45
00:04:06,623 --> 00:04:09,463
She got kicked out, so why...
46
00:04:09,463 --> 00:04:11,633
Are you hurt anywhere?
47
00:04:11,633 --> 00:04:13,673
Are you all right?
48
00:04:27,693 --> 00:04:29,853
You must have been afraid.
49
00:04:29,853 --> 00:04:32,313
You must have been lonely.
50
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:34,993
Yes. I was afraid...
51
00:04:36,273 --> 00:04:37,263
and lonely.
52
00:04:37,263 --> 00:04:40,543
You must have felt hopeless because you did not know whom to fight.
53
00:04:40,543 --> 00:04:43,123
You cannot fight a ghost.
54
00:04:43,123 --> 00:04:45,823
They are not targeting only the Crown Prince.
55
00:04:45,823 --> 00:04:48,953
They are trying to curse the royal family of Joseon
56
00:04:48,953 --> 00:04:52,503
and shake up this nation within their grasp.
57
00:04:52,503 --> 00:04:55,873
Can I return to the Eastern Palace starting tomorrow?
58
00:04:55,873 --> 00:04:58,913
That is not possible.
59
00:04:58,913 --> 00:05:01,833
Even though I said that,
60
00:05:01,833 --> 00:05:04,403
I want you to be by my side.
61
00:05:04,403 --> 00:05:06,173
I'm coming, Your Highness.
62
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:08,973
I will stay by your side.
63
00:05:11,783 --> 00:05:15,583
[Episode 9]
How could the head shaman mention the Song family of Byeokcheon?
64
00:05:15,583 --> 00:05:16,903
I know, right?
65
00:05:16,903 --> 00:05:21,513
It is terrible enough that the murderer was the head shaman of the Shamanist Bureau.
66
00:05:21,513 --> 00:05:26,443
How did she get possessed by the spirit of the Song family, who died ten years ago?
67
00:05:26,443 --> 00:05:28,483
What happened with the plum tree in the Grand Palace?
68
00:05:28,483 --> 00:05:29,813
How could it suddenly be struck by lightning?
69
00:05:29,813 --> 00:05:33,333
And it just so happened to be right after the head shaman's curse.
70
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:36,233
Did it not really seem like a ghost's curse?
71
00:05:36,233 --> 00:05:40,323
Come on! How could you say something so foreboding?
72
00:05:40,323 --> 00:05:44,963
We need to set up a special unit to reinvestigate the Byeokcheon case from ten years ago.
73
00:05:44,963 --> 00:05:48,233
Do you mean we need to request a reinvestigation?
74
00:05:48,233 --> 00:05:52,223
Does not what happened ten years ago bother you, Chief State Minister?
75
00:05:52,223 --> 00:05:56,613
Since His Majesty has shown a willingness to contest the Jo family of Seongju,
76
00:05:56,613 --> 00:05:59,493
would this not be an opportunity?
77
00:05:59,493 --> 00:06:02,123
I do not know who is responsible for this,
78
00:06:02,123 --> 00:06:06,133
but is it not clearly something that can weaken the power of the Jo family of Seongju?
79
00:06:09,663 --> 00:06:12,113
All right, all right.
80
00:06:12,113 --> 00:06:16,523
It looks like you guys are all curious about this.
81
00:06:16,523 --> 00:06:18,743
What this means is...
82
00:06:18,743 --> 00:06:21,373
The Song family will destroy the Yi family.
83
00:06:21,373 --> 00:06:24,403
It supposedly contains such deep meaning.
84
00:06:24,403 --> 00:06:26,103
Who is the Song family?
85
00:06:26,103 --> 00:06:30,163
It's the leader of the bandits in the Byeokcheon of the Song family.
86
00:06:30,163 --> 00:06:33,303
Then, who's the Yi family that the Song family will destroy?
87
00:06:33,303 --> 00:06:34,863
Come on.
88
00:06:34,863 --> 00:06:38,133
The King, the Crown Prince, the Grand Prince, the Princess, and the royal family
89
00:06:38,133 --> 00:06:40,973
are all part of the Yi family.
90
00:06:40,973 --> 00:06:44,293
Then, the head shaman of the Shamanist Bureau got possessed by the spirit of Song
91
00:06:44,293 --> 00:06:47,453
and committed murders to curse the royal family?
92
00:06:47,453 --> 00:06:51,193
Not only that, but I just heard
93
00:06:51,193 --> 00:06:53,853
that the oyat tree in the palace caught on fire.
94
00:06:53,853 --> 00:06:56,623
What is the oyat tree in Chinese characters? Oyat, Yi.
95
00:06:56,623 --> 00:06:59,773
The ghost of Song was making a statement.
96
00:06:59,773 --> 00:07:05,663
"I will burn you to ashes like this oyat tree!"
97
00:07:05,663 --> 00:07:09,073
There were rumors that the Crown Prince was cursed by a ghost...
98
00:07:09,073 --> 00:07:13,733
Was that true? Gosh, why is the nation so chaotic right now!
99
00:07:13,733 --> 00:07:16,403
Did something happen at the Palace?
100
00:07:16,403 --> 00:07:18,253
Eunuch Go already went to the Palace.
101
00:07:18,253 --> 00:07:22,293
Things are bad! These things fell from the sky...
102
00:07:24,603 --> 00:07:26,203
[Song Ga Myeol Yi]
103
00:07:48,503 --> 00:07:51,333
Out of all of these trees,
104
00:07:51,333 --> 00:07:53,953
how could only the plum tree be set ablaze?
105
00:07:53,953 --> 00:07:56,683
Is there really a ghost
106
00:07:56,683 --> 00:07:59,453
who cursed the royal family and me
107
00:08:00,843 --> 00:08:03,583
and struck the plum tree with lightning to make a statement?
108
00:08:03,583 --> 00:08:06,023
There is no way.
109
00:08:06,023 --> 00:08:08,753
A living person is behind this.
110
00:08:31,753 --> 00:08:33,333
Your Highness.
111
00:08:33,333 --> 00:08:37,823
This smell is similar to the gunpowder I smelled before
112
00:08:37,823 --> 00:08:40,203
when soldiers were training in Gaeseong.
113
00:08:40,203 --> 00:08:42,213
It is most likely sulfur.
114
00:08:42,213 --> 00:08:46,353
However, it would not have burned so long with just sulfur.
115
00:08:47,913 --> 00:08:51,243
I will visit the young master in Manyeondang tomorrow.
116
00:08:59,943 --> 00:09:03,933
- What is the matter?
- The ones who were guarding the head shaman...
117
00:09:03,933 --> 00:09:06,363
died overnight.
118
00:09:06,363 --> 00:09:08,223
Lift the covers.
119
00:09:26,963 --> 00:09:31,383
I chased the one who shot the arrow, but his accomplice appeared and attacked me...
120
00:09:31,383 --> 00:09:33,733
so I ended up losing him.
121
00:09:34,623 --> 00:09:36,753
How many accomplices do they have
122
00:09:36,753 --> 00:09:40,553
and who is giving them the orders?
123
00:09:40,553 --> 00:09:42,143
Did you find out about burning peonies?
124
00:09:42,143 --> 00:09:46,343
All I heard was it may have been imported from India.
125
00:09:46,343 --> 00:09:51,963
I heard that they sometimes apply oil to such dried flowers and burn them.
126
00:09:55,683 --> 00:09:58,273
India...
127
00:10:04,383 --> 00:10:06,093
Your Highness.
128
00:10:06,093 --> 00:10:08,023
The Sergeant is here.
129
00:10:08,023 --> 00:10:09,853
Have him enter.
130
00:10:17,263 --> 00:10:20,473
There were clear snake bite marks on their neck and shoulders.
131
00:10:20,473 --> 00:10:25,143
Would it not be the same snake that bit the head shaman at the interrogation today?
132
00:10:25,143 --> 00:10:26,573
This is so strange.
133
00:10:26,573 --> 00:10:29,593
Also, in the corner of the Royal Investigation Bureau cell where the head shaman was held,
134
00:10:29,593 --> 00:10:32,433
a bloodied dagger was found.
135
00:10:32,433 --> 00:10:34,393
It appears she engraved the letter on herself with that dagger.
136
00:10:34,393 --> 00:10:37,983
There is now no way for us to find out
137
00:10:37,983 --> 00:10:41,153
who provided her with the dagger and the snake.
138
00:10:44,803 --> 00:10:47,863
Are you still searching for Oh Man Shik of the department of Taoism, who defiled the celebratory message?
139
00:10:47,863 --> 00:10:50,683
Yes. He had an older brother, but he was already dead.
140
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:54,633
Supposedly, his hyung's wife and children live in Inchang-bang, so he often visited.
141
00:10:54,633 --> 00:10:56,723
I stationed a soldier there,
142
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:59,903
so if he sends a message to his hyung's wife and children,
143
00:10:59,903 --> 00:11:01,753
then we will be able to find his trail.
144
00:11:01,753 --> 00:11:06,463
We must at least catch that man since he may have something to do with this case.
145
00:11:14,813 --> 00:11:16,393
Were you in much shock?
146
00:11:16,393 --> 00:11:20,073
The Grand Prince said he wanted to see the culprit of the Sabangahn case...
147
00:11:20,073 --> 00:11:22,903
Since he has already seen it, it is too late.
148
00:11:22,903 --> 00:11:26,153
It is not your fault, Princess.
149
00:11:26,153 --> 00:11:28,803
- How is he?
- He just received a lot of shock,
150
00:11:28,803 --> 00:11:33,303
so after he gets some rest, he should be fine
151
00:11:33,303 --> 00:11:36,713
I will make Bojungikgi-tang for him.
152
00:11:36,713 --> 00:11:38,643
Do so.
153
00:11:45,733 --> 00:11:47,563
Mother.
154
00:11:48,533 --> 00:11:51,823
Who is the Song family of Byeokcheon?
155
00:11:51,823 --> 00:11:54,813
Do you know, Noonim?
156
00:11:54,813 --> 00:11:57,243
You should first get some rest.
157
00:11:57,243 --> 00:12:00,123
- I'll tell you once you've gotten better-
- Tell me now.
158
00:12:00,123 --> 00:12:03,413
Is Song a person?
159
00:12:03,413 --> 00:12:06,533
Or is he really a ghost?
160
00:12:06,533 --> 00:12:08,903
It is scarier not to know.
161
00:12:08,903 --> 00:12:11,403
Do you not know either, Court Lady Ahn?
162
00:12:17,473 --> 00:12:19,643
Ten years ago,
163
00:12:19,643 --> 00:12:23,033
a group of bandits in Byeokcheon started a rebellion.
164
00:12:23,033 --> 00:12:26,003
Song was the leader of those bandits.
165
00:12:26,003 --> 00:12:30,863
How could a mere bandit become a ghost and curse the royal family?
166
00:12:30,863 --> 00:12:32,983
So what happened to him?
167
00:12:32,983 --> 00:12:35,893
The Right State Minister, who was the Minister of Defense at the time,
168
00:12:35,893 --> 00:12:39,333
personally went and subdued them.
169
00:12:39,333 --> 00:12:41,883
- Song also was-
- That is enough.
170
00:12:42,913 --> 00:12:44,853
Grandfather?
171
00:12:44,853 --> 00:12:49,313
Mother, since Grandfather subdued them,
172
00:12:50,383 --> 00:12:55,253
Grandfather would subdue the ghost of Song, too, right?
173
00:13:03,823 --> 00:13:07,653
The Song family did not forget the unjust deaths and sorrow of the people of Byeokcheon.
174
00:13:07,653 --> 00:13:09,203
And they are back!
175
00:13:09,203 --> 00:13:15,633
I became a ghost, but my soul is already on the throne!
176
00:13:15,633 --> 00:13:18,473
Song family will destroy the Yi family
177
00:13:18,473 --> 00:13:24,223
and take this country's throne!
178
00:13:26,593 --> 00:13:29,943
- Hey, you dirty bandit bastard!
- He is still alive? Gosh, he is quite persistent!
179
00:13:29,943 --> 00:13:32,183
Supposedly, he slaughtered and kidnapped
180
00:13:32,183 --> 00:13:36,173
old men, women, and children! What more do you need to say?
181
00:13:45,213 --> 00:13:47,453
To think that the Royal Investigation Bureau officers
182
00:13:47,453 --> 00:13:50,723
and the head shaman was bitten by the amur viper...
183
00:13:52,173 --> 00:13:55,753
Read this. It is the autopsy report of Shim Young's suicide case.
184
00:13:55,753 --> 00:13:59,873
[Bokgum: Autopsy procedure in Joseon dynasty / Shijangshik: Autopsy report]
185
00:14:06,793 --> 00:14:09,463
The coroner checked the number of wounds that would have caused his death
186
00:14:09,463 --> 00:14:11,883
or if any wounds led to his sudden death,
187
00:14:11,883 --> 00:14:14,883
but apart from the strangulation marks on his neck, there were no other wounds.
188
00:14:14,883 --> 00:14:17,723
The strangulation marks were dark red, and his eyes were closed.
189
00:14:17,723 --> 00:14:19,263
He died with his mouth open.
190
00:14:19,263 --> 00:14:22,133
If someone had murdered him first and tried to set it up as a suicide by hanging,
191
00:14:22,133 --> 00:14:24,933
he would not display these traits.
192
00:14:26,573 --> 00:14:28,453
It is clear that it was suicide.
193
00:14:28,453 --> 00:14:31,203
Also, the handwriting on the suicide note was definitely Shim Young's.
194
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:35,513
His disciples at the temple also testified to it, so there is no doubt.
195
00:14:35,513 --> 00:14:39,483
After your family died, he supposedly kept searching your house for something.
196
00:14:39,483 --> 00:14:42,943
Do you have any idea what that might have been?
197
00:14:55,833 --> 00:14:57,363
But what is this supposed to mean?
198
00:14:57,363 --> 00:14:58,973
These are the items left behind by the dead.
199
00:14:58,973 --> 00:15:02,033
The letter containing his last words and the jade bracelet was on the wooden hallway floor.
200
00:15:02,033 --> 00:15:03,393
Hold onto them well.
201
00:15:03,393 --> 00:15:07,123
But how should we explain this...
202
00:15:07,123 --> 00:15:10,693
Young had white hair? No. This is not true.
203
00:15:10,693 --> 00:15:12,163
This would have been a sudden change.
204
00:15:12,163 --> 00:15:15,723
Even when I was leaving Gaeseong, Young did not have white hair.
205
00:15:15,723 --> 00:15:19,663
Do you remember? The head shaman also had white hair.
206
00:15:22,263 --> 00:15:24,863
How did this happen...
207
00:15:24,863 --> 00:15:26,923
The head shaman's prayer site is in Gaeseong...
208
00:15:26,923 --> 00:15:29,133
In addition to the peony petals,
209
00:15:30,113 --> 00:15:33,063
- white hair as well...
- Also, the amur viper
210
00:15:33,063 --> 00:15:36,203
that killed my herald and hurt me.
211
00:15:43,353 --> 00:15:46,253
Would they not all be part of the same group?
212
00:15:46,253 --> 00:15:47,543
Another thing to note.
213
00:15:47,543 --> 00:15:50,523
The ghost's letter.
214
00:15:50,523 --> 00:15:54,223
The head shaman knew about the ghost's letter.
215
00:15:58,643 --> 00:16:01,333
Would the leftover bandits in Byeokcheon
216
00:16:01,333 --> 00:16:05,083
be responsible for doing all of that?
217
00:16:20,063 --> 00:16:22,083
Come!
218
00:16:22,083 --> 00:16:25,233
Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come!
219
00:16:25,233 --> 00:16:28,253
Let me down, let me down!
220
00:16:28,253 --> 00:16:31,693
Hyungnim, Hyungnim!
221
00:16:31,693 --> 00:16:35,313
T-Take a look at this!
222
00:16:35,313 --> 00:16:37,583
[Song Ga Myeol Yi]
223
00:16:37,583 --> 00:16:40,453
w-were really alive!
224
00:16:40,453 --> 00:16:43,093
What do we do about this?
225
00:16:43,093 --> 00:16:45,973
The head shaman, that bitch, was also one of those remaining Byeokcheon bandits!
226
00:16:45,973 --> 00:16:48,903
When she started uttering her curses,
227
00:16:48,903 --> 00:16:52,593
did it not feel like Song came back from Byeokcheon, Hyungnim?
228
00:16:52,593 --> 00:16:56,183
Aigoo, perhaps that bastard has come back as a ghost
229
00:16:56,183 --> 00:16:58,953
to slice my neck- Gosh!
230
00:16:58,953 --> 00:17:02,213
With a scythe, Hyungnim...
231
00:17:02,213 --> 00:17:05,093
It is not our family
232
00:17:05,093 --> 00:17:08,883
that Song is cursing, no?
233
00:17:08,883 --> 00:17:10,233
Pardon?
234
00:17:10,803 --> 00:17:12,063
[Song Ga Myeol Yi]
235
00:17:12,063 --> 00:17:13,643
Right!
236
00:17:14,563 --> 00:17:17,403
Yes. Yes, you are right!
237
00:17:17,403 --> 00:17:21,473
You are right, Hyungnim! Song did not curse the Jo family,
238
00:17:21,473 --> 00:17:24,253
but the Yi family!
239
00:17:24,253 --> 00:17:26,883
I missed that part.
240
00:17:28,873 --> 00:17:32,483
But how come that bastard
241
00:17:32,483 --> 00:17:36,933
is calling down curses on the royal family instead of you and me, Hyungnim?
242
00:17:36,933 --> 00:17:41,193
Is it not only proper that one curses the person responsible for one's death?
243
00:17:41,193 --> 00:17:44,623
Pardon? But the one who subdued that bastard was...
244
00:17:44,713 --> 00:17:49,013
Why would I have gone to Byeokcheon to put them down if not for the king's orders?
245
00:17:50,113 --> 00:17:52,323
You are right!
246
00:17:52,323 --> 00:17:56,403
The reason that wretch was tied to a stake alive and executed
247
00:17:56,403 --> 00:18:00,333
was not us but the king's orders! We are saved!
248
00:18:00,333 --> 00:18:04,843
All of that was the will of our austere King.
249
00:18:04,843 --> 00:18:07,313
- The Yi family, yes.
- Whether it is a ghost or not,
250
00:18:07,313 --> 00:18:09,653
what does it have to do with our family?
251
00:18:09,653 --> 00:18:11,473
Yes, yes.
252
00:18:12,623 --> 00:18:14,713
More importantly,
253
00:18:16,023 --> 00:18:20,373
the King dared to spit on our family?
254
00:18:22,163 --> 00:18:24,963
What do you think will happen as a consequence?
255
00:18:27,203 --> 00:18:31,433
D-Do you have something in mind?
256
00:18:32,353 --> 00:18:34,633
How could I not?
257
00:18:34,633 --> 00:18:38,223
A crisis is also an opportunity.
258
00:18:38,223 --> 00:18:43,893
I am so worried that the King will reinvestigate the Byeokcheon case...
259
00:18:43,893 --> 00:18:45,953
That will never happen.
260
00:18:45,953 --> 00:18:48,493
I will make sure that never happens.
261
00:18:49,603 --> 00:18:53,233
I am more afraid of them than the King.
262
00:18:53,233 --> 00:18:56,193
If there are remaining bandits, I will find them,
263
00:18:56,193 --> 00:18:58,343
and I will make sure to prevent any reinvestigation.
264
00:18:58,343 --> 00:19:00,573
So just rest easy.
265
00:19:00,573 --> 00:19:03,043
- You got that?
- Yes, Hyungnim!
266
00:19:04,183 --> 00:19:08,213
Hyungnim! Those Yi family people!
267
00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:36,173
What do you want me to do with this?
268
00:19:36,173 --> 00:19:37,993
We are going to do a dictation.
269
00:19:37,993 --> 00:19:39,293
What is that?
270
00:19:39,293 --> 00:19:42,103
You will listen to what I say and write it on the ground.
271
00:19:42,103 --> 00:19:44,763
- With this stick?
- Yeah.
272
00:19:44,763 --> 00:19:48,243
You may speak. I will write it down.
273
00:19:48,243 --> 00:19:51,563
You are a rude woman.
274
00:19:51,563 --> 00:19:53,383
A rude woman...
275
00:19:53,383 --> 00:19:55,543
You are a nasty woman.
276
00:19:55,543 --> 00:19:59,503
You are delusional in assuming that I would like you when I have no interest in you.
277
00:19:59,503 --> 00:20:02,023
What a ridiculous woman you are.
278
00:20:02,023 --> 00:20:04,863
I am a man with my own preferences.
279
00:20:04,863 --> 00:20:09,623
So, how could you just leave after saying your piece one-sidedly
280
00:20:09,623 --> 00:20:11,913
like a woodpecker on a tree!
281
00:20:11,913 --> 00:20:13,973
Are you speaking to the daughter of the Minister of General Affairs?
282
00:20:13,973 --> 00:20:17,103
I can still see the arrogant back of your head.
283
00:20:17,103 --> 00:20:20,613
It makes me so angry that my head hurts!
284
00:20:20,613 --> 00:20:23,243
The sophisticated daughter of a Minister? Myung Jin is not interested.
285
00:20:23,243 --> 00:20:25,673
A woman who only has a pretty face? Myung Jin is even more not interested.
286
00:20:25,673 --> 00:20:28,033
The one that Myung Jin is waiting for is not like you.
287
00:20:28,033 --> 00:20:31,233
Myung Jin is pathetic.
288
00:20:31,233 --> 00:20:33,633
A warm and kind woman...
289
00:20:33,633 --> 00:20:38,493
Someone who has beautiful and special eyes to recognize Myung Jin's true worth.
290
00:20:38,493 --> 00:20:40,333
That is the type of woman I am looking for.
291
00:20:40,333 --> 00:20:43,613
Myung Jin is crazy.
292
00:20:43,613 --> 00:20:47,753
I do not like you either! Leave, leave! Just get away from me!
293
00:20:47,753 --> 00:20:49,653
Did you finish writing it?
294
00:20:50,763 --> 00:20:53,763
I was not able to write it all down because I did not study enough.
295
00:20:53,763 --> 00:20:57,503
How come you could not say anything to her when you are so good at speaking?
296
00:20:57,503 --> 00:21:00,693
That is a good question. Why do you think I could not?
297
00:21:00,693 --> 00:21:04,373
Well, perhaps you were afraid of getting hit by your mother's pestle?
298
00:21:04,373 --> 00:21:07,903
Oh, what a bright student I have!
299
00:21:07,903 --> 00:21:10,513
How do you know my feelings so well?
300
00:21:12,113 --> 00:21:16,183
But Master, you emoted really well just now.
301
00:21:16,183 --> 00:21:19,793
How do I put this... You seemed a bit out of your mind,
302
00:21:19,793 --> 00:21:22,113
but you said everything you needed to say.
303
00:21:22,113 --> 00:21:26,183
It was refreshing as if I just drank seltzer water.
304
00:21:26,183 --> 00:21:29,093
Since this wedding is already called off, tell her
305
00:21:29,093 --> 00:21:32,713
what you just said the next time you see her, Master.
306
00:21:32,713 --> 00:21:34,563
You just wait...
307
00:21:34,563 --> 00:21:36,893
The next time I meet that woodpecker of a woman,
308
00:21:36,893 --> 00:21:39,443
I will flatten her nose!
309
00:21:39,443 --> 00:21:41,123
Can you really do that?
310
00:21:41,123 --> 00:21:43,733
Yes, of course!
311
00:21:43,733 --> 00:21:48,053
Student, we will do our dictation again.
312
00:21:48,053 --> 00:21:50,903
Yes, Master. Just tell me what to write!
313
00:21:50,903 --> 00:21:52,973
Myung Jin is brave.
314
00:21:52,973 --> 00:21:55,633
He is a truly cool guy.
315
00:21:55,633 --> 00:21:58,263
Myung Jin is brave.
316
00:21:58,263 --> 00:22:01,013
He is truly a cool guy.
317
00:22:02,183 --> 00:22:04,413
Look at this cute guy!
318
00:22:04,413 --> 00:22:06,563
Did you learn the written language already?
319
00:22:06,563 --> 00:22:11,733
Yes, Master! When you tell me to memorize something, I just memorize it!
320
00:22:12,753 --> 00:22:15,513
- Who is your master?
- It is you, Master.
321
00:22:15,513 --> 00:22:18,983
- Who is your student, Master?
- Obviously, it is you!
322
00:22:22,593 --> 00:22:24,653
Oh, Friend!
323
00:22:26,273 --> 00:22:28,003
Eunuch Go.
324
00:22:29,003 --> 00:22:30,963
I came to discuss something with you.
325
00:22:30,963 --> 00:22:33,293
You should come inside first.
326
00:22:40,199 --> 00:22:43,579
There was a lightning strike, and the plum tree was set ablaze...
327
00:22:43,579 --> 00:22:46,009
And there was a smell of sulfur...
328
00:22:46,009 --> 00:22:50,399
But just sulfur alone would not make the fire burn so long.
329
00:22:50,399 --> 00:22:53,369
If you mixed it with other things and coated the tree with it,
330
00:22:53,369 --> 00:22:56,349
then it could be a different story.
331
00:22:56,349 --> 00:22:59,929
If they had perhaps mixed in saltpeter...
332
00:23:01,229 --> 00:23:04,519
- What is saltpeter?
- It is used for making gunpowder.
333
00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:07,449
Also, one more thing...
334
00:23:07,449 --> 00:23:10,829
- Beeswax?
- Is it not used for making expensive candles?
335
00:23:10,829 --> 00:23:13,019
If they mixed those three,
336
00:23:13,019 --> 00:23:16,819
and then waited for a lightning strike to set it on fire...
337
00:23:16,819 --> 00:23:21,009
then they could completely fool others
338
00:23:21,009 --> 00:23:24,139
as if it was struck by lightning!
339
00:23:24,139 --> 00:23:26,519
Myung Jin is amazing!
340
00:23:28,449 --> 00:23:33,889
But who has easy access to those three ingredients?
341
00:23:38,469 --> 00:23:40,429
I will need to return to the palace now.
342
00:23:40,429 --> 00:23:42,619
Then, I shall be on my way as well.
343
00:23:47,069 --> 00:23:50,769
Even if this is a secret order of His Highness, this is still a job done by humans.
344
00:23:50,769 --> 00:23:52,099
So nothing is free.
345
00:23:52,099 --> 00:23:56,649
How come it seems the His Highness is trying to get these services for free?
346
00:23:56,649 --> 00:23:58,769
Geez.
347
00:23:58,769 --> 00:24:02,009
Then, would it be all right if I returned to the palace and delivered
348
00:24:02,009 --> 00:24:06,569
exactly what you said to His Highness, Young Master?
349
00:24:08,089 --> 00:24:13,209
No, no. It is my master's hobby to talk to himself.
350
00:24:13,209 --> 00:24:16,089
It is merely him talking to himself.
351
00:24:16,089 --> 00:24:19,529
I mean, well, Myung Jin does have a habit of doing that sometimes...
352
00:24:19,529 --> 00:24:22,919
- I mean, it is time to eat anyway...
- I will buy you food
353
00:24:22,919 --> 00:24:25,349
- in place of His Highness.
- Friend...
354
00:24:25,349 --> 00:24:28,089
I am so grateful!
355
00:24:30,239 --> 00:24:34,279
I knew you would be so generous, so I had everything prepared already.
356
00:24:34,279 --> 00:24:36,609
- What do you mean?
- Young Master.
357
00:24:36,609 --> 00:24:38,829
Oh, please come in.
358
00:24:39,719 --> 00:24:42,649
Well, I do not know if I came in at the right time...
359
00:24:42,649 --> 00:24:44,989
You came right on time.
360
00:24:44,989 --> 00:24:49,119
I knew that you would buy, Friend, so I asked her in advance.
361
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,469
Aigoo. Aigoo, aigoo.
362
00:24:56,919 --> 00:25:00,749
- Thanks for the food, Friend!
- Thank you for the food, Scholar!
363
00:25:09,269 --> 00:25:13,489
- Please enjoy the food.
- Oh, thanks!
364
00:25:29,529 --> 00:25:31,069
It is tasty.
365
00:25:31,069 --> 00:25:34,519
I thought I would have to skip lunch today.
366
00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:37,699
Wait, His Highness starves you?
367
00:25:37,699 --> 00:25:39,779
No way.
368
00:25:42,499 --> 00:25:46,259
There is an abundance of the best foods in the palace kitchen,
369
00:25:46,259 --> 00:25:51,449
but I am merely a eunuch in the Eastern Palace, earning a meager income,
370
00:25:51,449 --> 00:25:55,709
so if I miss my meal, who will make sure I eat?
371
00:25:55,709 --> 00:26:00,399
Not only that, His Highness makes me run so many errands!
372
00:26:00,399 --> 00:26:03,999
He tells me to go here and there and do this and that.
373
00:26:03,999 --> 00:26:09,309
Sometimes I am so busy running errands that a bowl of water is my dinner.
374
00:26:09,309 --> 00:26:14,809
Yet, he does not even ask whether I ate or not.
375
00:26:18,069 --> 00:26:20,809
- What did I tell you?
- Geez!
376
00:26:20,809 --> 00:26:23,219
What do you think, Friend?
377
00:26:25,549 --> 00:26:30,849
Since everyone flatters him as His Highness,
378
00:26:30,849 --> 00:26:34,669
how could he know how his subordinates feel?
379
00:26:34,669 --> 00:26:38,279
I think that His Highness has a lot of problems.
380
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:39,739
Have a drink with me.
381
00:26:39,739 --> 00:26:42,979
All right, all right, take a drink.
382
00:26:46,929 --> 00:26:49,359
He has a lot of problems.
383
00:26:56,339 --> 00:27:00,609
The Crown Prince went out under disguise?
384
00:27:00,609 --> 00:27:03,159
Manyeondang...
385
00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:21,749
For now, forget about everything else and secretly tail Go Soon Dol.
386
00:27:21,749 --> 00:27:26,129
Find out where he is going and what he is doing
387
00:27:26,129 --> 00:27:28,759
and who he is meeting.
388
00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:33,449
You must not miss a single thing.
389
00:27:33,449 --> 00:27:35,849
Do you understand?
390
00:27:35,849 --> 00:27:37,539
Yes.
391
00:27:41,269 --> 00:27:46,409
Beeswax is valuable, but it can be easily found in the street markets.
392
00:27:46,409 --> 00:27:49,609
One could obtain saltpeter from the military supplies department.
393
00:27:50,649 --> 00:27:54,069
- But sulfur...
- We could find out if we look around the markets.
394
00:27:54,069 --> 00:27:58,459
I will look for a person who obtained all three items around the same time.
395
00:27:58,459 --> 00:28:00,399
How long will it take?
396
00:28:00,399 --> 00:28:04,309
- I will find out within five days.
- Be careful.
397
00:28:04,309 --> 00:28:06,589
You must not get hurt.
398
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:09,339
Yes, Your Highness.
399
00:28:14,689 --> 00:28:16,479
You will need this.
400
00:28:16,479 --> 00:28:19,289
Did you not lose three nyang of your salary?
401
00:28:20,259 --> 00:28:25,899
I will root for the Army today. I even bet three nyang on the Army.
402
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:41,649
I heard that you were participating, so I quickly switched my bet to the Royal Guard.
403
00:28:41,649 --> 00:28:47,119
I am a woman with excellent quick judgment.
404
00:28:49,139 --> 00:28:51,479
- Well, then...
- But I will also take
405
00:28:51,479 --> 00:28:56,129
this money, seeing how you prepared it for me.
406
00:28:58,439 --> 00:29:01,539
I like money.
407
00:29:14,199 --> 00:29:19,029
You came a long distance. I should at least give you travel fare, Nephew.
408
00:29:19,029 --> 00:29:24,319
This is about showing the strength of our family. I should come no matter how far it is.
409
00:29:31,659 --> 00:29:34,409
What did you just say?
410
00:29:34,409 --> 00:29:37,259
The Confucian scholars said what?
411
00:29:37,259 --> 00:29:39,639
We beg your pardon as we make our supplication.
412
00:29:39,639 --> 00:29:43,699
From long ago, thunder and lightning were understood as a sign from Heaven.
413
00:29:43,699 --> 00:29:47,399
Thus, His Majesty should observe the heavens,
414
00:29:47,399 --> 00:29:52,129
and figure out what the will of Heaven is so that these disasters will end.
415
00:29:52,129 --> 00:29:57,719
The lightning that struck the oyat tree must be a rebuke of heaven.
416
00:29:57,719 --> 00:30:01,689
So we advise you humbly that it would be right for you
417
00:30:01,689 --> 00:30:06,559
to respond to heaven and perform your role as Father of the nation.
418
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:11,119
From long ago, the one who rules over others should...
419
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:14,079
Governor of Seongju, Jo Doo Won.
420
00:30:16,449 --> 00:30:19,449
Mayor of Yangju, Jo Won Young.
421
00:30:22,679 --> 00:30:26,519
Army General of Jeolla-do, Kim Hyeong Woon.
422
00:30:28,389 --> 00:30:30,099
Half of them are the Jo family of Seongju,
423
00:30:30,099 --> 00:30:33,379
and the other half are either in-laws or maternal relatives
424
00:30:33,379 --> 00:30:36,219
of the Jo family of Seongju!
425
00:30:38,549 --> 00:30:40,759
Is this not all...
426
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:46,039
what that prestigious Jo family of Seongju is throwing at me?
427
00:30:46,039 --> 00:30:51,379
Fine, you bastards! How can I repent of my sins,
428
00:30:51,379 --> 00:30:54,979
so that my virtue reaches the heavens?
429
00:31:01,159 --> 00:31:06,089
A lightning strike is known to be a sign of the heavens being angry.
430
00:31:06,089 --> 00:31:11,329
Since that wrath has fallen upon the oyat tree in the Grand Palace...
431
00:31:11,329 --> 00:31:15,399
how could it not have no meaning? It is quite strange.
432
00:31:15,399 --> 00:31:19,009
Come now! Watch what you say! Even in peaceful times of the past,
433
00:31:19,009 --> 00:31:22,079
there were lightning strikes that took place for no reason!
434
00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:24,719
Not only that, even if the heavens were angry,
435
00:31:24,719 --> 00:31:27,879
how dare they rebuke the lack of virtue in His Majesty?
436
00:31:27,879 --> 00:31:31,449
There are so many corrupt officials in the King's court who know no shame!
437
00:31:31,449 --> 00:31:33,359
If the heavens were really punishing the nation,
438
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:36,859
would this not be a punishment against them?
439
00:31:36,859 --> 00:31:39,959
Your Majesty, please have mercy on your people
440
00:31:39,959 --> 00:31:45,239
who are shaking in fear due to these terrible and strange occurrences.
441
00:31:45,239 --> 00:31:49,959
Please have mercy on your people!
442
00:31:56,649 --> 00:31:58,279
Please apply Gamseon,
443
00:31:58,279 --> 00:32:00,409
[Gamseon: Showing example to the people by reducing the number of the dishes for the King's probation]
444
00:32:03,219 --> 00:32:06,709
and be on probation in front of the Heavens,
445
00:32:06,709 --> 00:32:08,449
Your Majesty.
446
00:32:10,449 --> 00:32:13,329
Gamseon?
447
00:32:13,329 --> 00:32:15,459
Right State Minister!
448
00:32:15,459 --> 00:32:17,549
How truly disrespectful!
449
00:32:17,549 --> 00:32:22,769
How dare you request His Majesty to apply Gamseon as his servant?
450
00:32:22,769 --> 00:32:27,019
Your Majesty, this is nonsense. Please do not listen to them!
451
00:32:34,869 --> 00:32:36,979
If I apply Gamseon...
452
00:32:39,029 --> 00:32:41,679
If I really do Gamseon,
453
00:32:43,859 --> 00:32:47,229
can I ask for forgiveness from the Heavens
454
00:32:48,819 --> 00:32:51,709
and calm down the
455
00:32:51,709 --> 00:32:53,669
noisiness outside?
456
00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:55,689
- Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!
457
00:32:55,689 --> 00:32:58,209
Your Majesty!
458
00:33:09,629 --> 00:33:14,259
Gamseon? Did Uncle really request that?
459
00:33:14,259 --> 00:33:16,489
Yes, Your Highness.
460
00:33:20,379 --> 00:33:23,799
How cunning can these people be?
461
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:27,679
They use the power of their family to control His Majesty.
462
00:33:27,679 --> 00:33:29,639
There is nothing new about that.
463
00:33:29,639 --> 00:33:34,039
I am sure His Majesty will accept the request for Gamseon.
464
00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:38,169
There is no way to fight them.
465
00:34:22,499 --> 00:34:25,609
It is tasty. It tastes clean.
466
00:34:38,359 --> 00:34:42,089
You have not been enjoying all those delicacies
467
00:34:42,089 --> 00:34:46,319
solely because of your own power, Your Majesty.
468
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:50,509
Do you understand?
469
00:34:50,509 --> 00:34:53,739
- Let's raise the bottoms up!
- Let's drink.
470
00:34:54,889 --> 00:34:57,259
You are so impressive, Hyungnim.
471
00:34:57,259 --> 00:35:00,939
Even with that incident in Byeokcheon, which almost cost your position,
472
00:35:00,939 --> 00:35:05,649
you turned it into an opportunity to bring back Seongju Jo family.
473
00:35:05,649 --> 00:35:08,089
You are the one who did all that.
474
00:35:08,089 --> 00:35:09,849
Hyungnim!
475
00:35:09,849 --> 00:35:12,059
I have always respected you.
476
00:35:14,099 --> 00:35:17,019
I always count on you, Hyungnim!
477
00:35:17,019 --> 00:35:18,719
You should try feeding him.
478
00:35:19,709 --> 00:35:21,499
He is eating!
479
00:35:29,809 --> 00:35:32,729
Tell Jo Won Bo that
480
00:35:32,729 --> 00:35:36,399
I repented bitterly after being served with
481
00:35:36,399 --> 00:35:39,999
this five-dishes meal!
482
00:35:44,759 --> 00:35:49,349
The power he is abusing on the throne
483
00:35:49,349 --> 00:35:53,439
was given to him by my family and me.
484
00:35:53,439 --> 00:35:58,399
I am just letting him know that he should not forget that.
485
00:35:58,399 --> 00:36:01,019
Do not worry, Your Highness.
486
00:36:02,759 --> 00:36:08,079
I heard that he tossed the dining table out of anger.
487
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:12,859
The royal meal represents attentiveness toward the eight provinces.
488
00:36:12,859 --> 00:36:16,479
He cannot ignore the hard work of the people.
489
00:36:27,409 --> 00:36:29,599
I am sure His Majesty
490
00:36:30,709 --> 00:36:33,789
learned a lot from this.
491
00:37:12,009 --> 00:37:16,239
You cannot upset the Seongju Jo family.
492
00:37:17,459 --> 00:37:20,169
Your Majesty,
493
00:37:20,169 --> 00:37:23,719
you had better keep that in mind.
494
00:37:39,209 --> 00:37:41,429
Let me ask you a question.
495
00:37:41,429 --> 00:37:44,969
- Where is the Military Supply Office?
- Turn to the right there.
496
00:37:44,969 --> 00:37:46,689
Thank you.
497
00:37:57,049 --> 00:37:59,299
I am here with the Crown Prince's order.
498
00:37:59,299 --> 00:38:03,879
Has anyone picked up gunpowder recently?
499
00:38:03,879 --> 00:38:05,929
Hold on just a moment.
500
00:38:23,389 --> 00:38:26,739
- Are you sure this is the right person?
- That is correct.
501
00:38:28,049 --> 00:38:31,019
I will bring this ledger to His Highness.
502
00:38:47,459 --> 00:38:50,109
Why did he...
503
00:38:59,359 --> 00:39:03,309
Thanks to your care, my mother's back pain has improved a lot.
504
00:39:03,309 --> 00:39:06,569
Mother wants to treat you to a meal. Please make sure to stop by, sir.
505
00:39:06,569 --> 00:39:09,149
I am afraid her back pain will get worse.
506
00:39:09,149 --> 00:39:12,189
Please tell her not to worry about me.
507
00:39:12,189 --> 00:39:15,459
Thank you. Are there any other comments?
508
00:39:32,159 --> 00:39:33,729
Eunuch Go!
509
00:39:38,139 --> 00:39:40,439
What is this about?
510
00:39:40,439 --> 00:39:42,369
It is nothing. Do not worry about it.
511
00:39:42,369 --> 00:39:44,769
How could it be nothing?
512
00:39:44,769 --> 00:39:47,509
Are you here with His Highness' order?
513
00:39:47,509 --> 00:39:49,559
I am not.
514
00:39:49,559 --> 00:39:53,229
I was just passing by while running an errand.
515
00:39:53,229 --> 00:39:55,309
Yes. Yes.
516
00:39:55,309 --> 00:39:57,519
I was just passing by.
517
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:04,409
Be well, Sir.
518
00:40:18,749 --> 00:40:24,289
His Highness would be so hurt if he saw this ledger.
519
00:40:27,149 --> 00:40:30,349
Did you look into the man who got the sulfur?
520
00:40:30,349 --> 00:40:33,979
I barely managed to find this after searching pharmacies for three days.
521
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,759
Have you visited the general stores?
522
00:40:44,759 --> 00:40:46,879
I have been doing that.
523
00:40:46,879 --> 00:40:50,349
There are countless stores that sell beeswax in Hanyang.
524
00:40:50,349 --> 00:40:54,629
It's true, but if you find the names of the people who purchased the sulfur and gunpowder,
525
00:40:54,629 --> 00:40:56,549
there would be no reason to search anymore.
526
00:40:56,549 --> 00:40:58,349
Do you not agree?
527
00:41:02,459 --> 00:41:06,149
He was so generous. He gave me all that money
528
00:41:06,149 --> 00:41:09,389
and took all the beeswax I had!
529
00:41:12,659 --> 00:41:15,329
Do you mind if I take this ledger with me?
530
00:41:15,329 --> 00:41:17,059
By the way,
531
00:41:17,059 --> 00:41:19,269
whom do you work for?
532
00:41:25,699 --> 00:41:29,639
Aigoo! I did not realize you work for the Crown Prince!
533
00:41:29,639 --> 00:41:31,739
Feel free to take it!
534
00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:33,369
Yes.
535
00:41:48,859 --> 00:41:50,349
My goodness!
536
00:41:50,349 --> 00:41:52,329
Aigoo! What should I do?
537
00:41:52,329 --> 00:41:55,229
Are you okay? I am sorry. I had a lot on my mind.
538
00:41:55,229 --> 00:41:59,269
Whatever! You should still watch where you are going!
539
00:41:59,269 --> 00:42:03,909
It takes so long to put everything on the carrier.
540
00:42:03,909 --> 00:42:07,699
Forget it. Just be on your way.
541
00:42:08,929 --> 00:42:10,949
I am sorry.
542
00:42:39,889 --> 00:42:42,659
Whom did you say it was just now?
543
00:42:42,659 --> 00:42:46,889
The one who purchased beeswax, gunpowder, and sulfur around the same time
544
00:42:46,889 --> 00:42:48,679
was really...
545
00:42:52,339 --> 00:42:54,789
It is definitely true.
546
00:42:54,789 --> 00:42:57,989
I got the ledgers from all three places.
547
00:43:02,549 --> 00:43:06,729
Open it. I will confirm with my own eyes.
548
00:43:15,229 --> 00:43:18,249
Beeswax, gunpowder, and sulfur.
549
00:43:18,249 --> 00:43:21,939
That means what set the plum tree on fire was not the lightening,
550
00:43:22,869 --> 00:43:25,599
but it was really this person?
551
00:43:37,029 --> 00:43:39,279
What brings you here all the way from Royal Investigation Bureau?
552
00:43:39,279 --> 00:43:42,069
Do not miss a single person!
553
00:43:53,434 --> 00:43:55,164
Mother!
554
00:43:55,164 --> 00:43:56,824
Mother!
555
00:44:02,424 --> 00:44:06,274
- How dare you do such a thing?
- I am just here because of the King's order.
556
00:44:06,274 --> 00:44:10,314
King's order? Do you even know where you are right now?
557
00:44:10,314 --> 00:44:14,464
Sinner Han Joong Eon, come out and receive the King's order!
558
00:44:32,184 --> 00:44:33,494
Father.
559
00:44:33,494 --> 00:44:37,494
For disrespecting and showing disdain for the royal family,
560
00:44:37,494 --> 00:44:40,544
His Majesty ordered us to escort you to the Royal Investigation Bureau!
561
00:44:40,544 --> 00:44:43,124
Did you hear me? Hurry up and arrest the sinner!
562
00:44:43,124 --> 00:44:44,614
Yes, sir!
563
00:44:47,304 --> 00:44:51,954
Disrespecting and showing disdain for the royal family? Do explain properly!
564
00:44:53,004 --> 00:44:54,854
Stop!
565
00:45:00,094 --> 00:45:02,024
Let me explain.
566
00:45:04,554 --> 00:45:07,934
Your Highness, what brings you here...
567
00:45:11,954 --> 00:45:15,574
- What is this about?
- It is nothing. Do not worry about it.
568
00:45:15,574 --> 00:45:18,114
Was he watching me?
569
00:45:20,894 --> 00:45:25,084
Did you ask what it means to disrespect and show disdain for the royal family?
570
00:45:25,084 --> 00:45:27,794
On the day the head shaman mentioned the curse of Song Ga Myeol Yi,
571
00:45:27,794 --> 00:45:32,854
a plum tree in the palace burnt because of lightning, just like what the curse entailed.
572
00:45:32,854 --> 00:45:34,484
I am sure you are aware of that.
573
00:45:34,484 --> 00:45:37,014
A plum tree is an oyat tree.
574
00:45:37,014 --> 00:45:40,724
That means the head shaman's curse, in which the Song family will destroy the Yi family,
575
00:45:40,724 --> 00:45:44,264
is Heaven's will.
576
00:45:44,264 --> 00:45:46,064
However,
577
00:45:46,064 --> 00:45:47,734
that is not the truth.
578
00:45:47,734 --> 00:45:50,004
The reason the plum tree caught on fire
579
00:45:50,004 --> 00:45:54,114
wasn't the Heaven's will. It was done by a human.
580
00:45:55,614 --> 00:46:00,814
He used gunpowder and sulfur to make it look like it got hit by lightning and burnt.
581
00:46:00,814 --> 00:46:06,364
And he applied beeswax on the tree, so it burns unusually long.
582
00:46:06,364 --> 00:46:10,904
Don't you think it's such a brilliant idea, Left State Minister?
583
00:46:12,174 --> 00:46:17,524
I heard this household's servant bought beeswax for his lord.
584
00:46:17,524 --> 00:46:19,914
Is that true?
585
00:46:19,914 --> 00:46:21,224
No, Your Highness.
586
00:46:21,224 --> 00:46:24,604
It was my order. I needed beeswax for something.
587
00:46:24,604 --> 00:46:27,124
- It has nothing to do with Father!
- However,
588
00:46:27,124 --> 00:46:30,514
I heard it was Left State Minister who picked up gunpowder from Military Supply Office.
589
00:46:30,514 --> 00:46:33,484
That is correct, Your Highness.
590
00:46:33,484 --> 00:46:38,144
Not only that, you even asked the pharmacist to get you sulfur.
591
00:46:39,194 --> 00:46:41,394
Yes.
592
00:46:41,394 --> 00:46:44,514
That is correct, Your Highness.
593
00:46:44,514 --> 00:46:50,044
You personally brought in gunpowder and sulfur, the ingredients for explosives.
594
00:46:50,044 --> 00:46:53,464
Surprisingly, those things you purchased
595
00:46:55,074 --> 00:46:56,744
were used
596
00:46:57,744 --> 00:46:59,814
in a case where the royal family
597
00:46:59,814 --> 00:47:04,164
was cursed and threatened under the name of a ghost.
598
00:47:05,424 --> 00:47:08,784
What do you think of that,
599
00:47:08,784 --> 00:47:10,314
Left State Minister?
600
00:47:12,014 --> 00:47:15,454
It is impossible to do that
601
00:47:15,454 --> 00:47:18,714
without a traitorous mind.
602
00:47:19,754 --> 00:47:22,384
- My Lady!
- My Lady!
603
00:47:22,384 --> 00:47:26,824
No, Father! How could you say the word "traitorous"?
604
00:47:30,744 --> 00:47:35,324
There is no greater crime than treason for a subject.
605
00:47:35,324 --> 00:47:39,564
Treason is not allowed by the Heavens, and no nation will forgive it.
606
00:47:39,564 --> 00:47:42,134
The sinner who led treason will have his limbs torn apart
607
00:47:42,134 --> 00:47:46,214
and his family will become servants for the royal servant's family or get sent away 2,000 li away.
608
00:47:46,214 --> 00:47:49,814
His family deserves to be punished by being decimated.
609
00:47:49,814 --> 00:47:52,404
That is the law of this country.
610
00:47:52,404 --> 00:47:55,424
I believe you understand that well, Sergeant Han Seong On.
611
00:47:56,714 --> 00:48:00,264
Your Highness, please allow me to reinvestigate the case.
612
00:48:00,264 --> 00:48:03,274
I will make sure to prove my father's innocence.
613
00:48:03,274 --> 00:48:06,884
Is what I said any different from the order you got from His Majesty?
614
00:48:06,884 --> 00:48:09,224
All are correct, Your Highness.
615
00:48:10,534 --> 00:48:12,394
Stop.
616
00:48:14,724 --> 00:48:16,724
Open the door of his storage.
617
00:48:16,724 --> 00:48:19,384
Pardon? Why is that...
618
00:48:21,754 --> 00:48:25,314
I will prove to you that Left State Minister
619
00:48:25,314 --> 00:48:27,814
and Sergeant are innocent.
620
00:49:13,434 --> 00:49:16,274
They are fine candles with high-quality beeswax.
621
00:49:16,274 --> 00:49:19,894
You probably needed beeswax to make these candles.
622
00:49:27,394 --> 00:49:30,244
Wedding is a festivity for the neighborhood.
623
00:49:30,244 --> 00:49:34,514
Looks like Left State Minister was planning a grand party for his son.
624
00:49:34,514 --> 00:49:37,884
They are fire pockets for fireworks.
625
00:49:43,024 --> 00:49:45,254
You must have needed sulfur for these.
626
00:49:45,254 --> 00:49:48,694
Do we have one thing left, then?
627
00:49:51,584 --> 00:49:54,644
Left State Minister, where did you keep the gunpowder?
628
00:50:17,824 --> 00:50:21,904
A while back, the governor of Gaeseong asked me to get
629
00:50:21,904 --> 00:50:24,554
gunpowder for repairing blue slates.
630
00:50:24,554 --> 00:50:27,124
He has a pavilion his ancestors cherished
631
00:50:27,124 --> 00:50:30,384
and it has been managed with care for generations.
632
00:50:30,384 --> 00:50:35,514
But its roof had been damaged by rain, so he wanted to repair it.
633
00:50:35,514 --> 00:50:39,884
I was originally planning to send it along Sergeant
634
00:50:39,884 --> 00:50:43,804
on his first trip there, but...
635
00:50:43,804 --> 00:50:46,464
Because of the death of the governor of Gaeseong,
636
00:50:46,464 --> 00:50:49,474
it could not find its owner.
637
00:50:57,664 --> 00:50:59,324
Did you hear that?
638
00:50:59,324 --> 00:51:03,994
Has the innocence of the Left State Minister and Sergeant been proven now?
639
00:51:04,984 --> 00:51:06,604
Yes, Your Highness.
640
00:51:06,604 --> 00:51:09,924
If so, tell me now.
641
00:51:10,954 --> 00:51:13,614
Who is the one...
642
00:51:15,194 --> 00:51:17,774
who sent you here?
643
00:51:17,774 --> 00:51:20,624
Your Majesty, according to your order,
644
00:51:20,624 --> 00:51:25,084
I sent the officers of the Royal Investigation Bureau to Left State Minister Han Joong Eon's house.
645
00:51:25,084 --> 00:51:28,344
Please punish them according to the law now.
646
00:51:44,584 --> 00:51:47,044
Report what you saw to the man who sent you.
647
00:51:47,044 --> 00:51:51,314
I will let His Majesty know that Left State Minister is innocent myself.
648
00:51:51,314 --> 00:51:53,324
Yes, Your Highness.
649
00:51:54,484 --> 00:51:56,124
Let us go.
650
00:52:25,394 --> 00:52:27,064
Your Highness.
651
00:52:41,134 --> 00:52:42,814
I thought...
652
00:52:44,144 --> 00:52:47,114
you no longer trusted me.
653
00:52:50,684 --> 00:52:53,804
Somebody told me this once. "No trust, no foundation."
654
00:52:53,804 --> 00:52:55,904
Without trust, one cannot stand.
655
00:52:55,904 --> 00:52:59,904
If for some reason, it needs to lose one, the military should be given up first.
656
00:52:59,904 --> 00:53:02,024
The second thing to give up should be food.
657
00:53:02,024 --> 00:53:04,664
But trust... At least trust...
658
00:53:04,664 --> 00:53:06,384
needs to be retained.
659
00:53:06,384 --> 00:53:09,084
That way, you can protect the country.
660
00:53:09,084 --> 00:53:13,544
Protecting the country and protecting a person. They cannot be different.
661
00:53:13,544 --> 00:53:15,904
Is the one who said that
662
00:53:17,954 --> 00:53:20,644
Eunuch Go Soon Dol?
663
00:53:20,644 --> 00:53:23,694
Also, you told me this other saying.
664
00:53:23,694 --> 00:53:26,724
- "No allies, no success."
- A nobleman who will achieve great things
665
00:53:26,724 --> 00:53:30,404
never loses the ones near him.
666
00:53:30,404 --> 00:53:32,824
In order not to lose you,
667
00:53:35,364 --> 00:53:37,194
I had to trust you.
668
00:53:37,194 --> 00:53:40,144
You must have thought a lot about
669
00:53:41,534 --> 00:53:45,784
what we could have used gunpowder,
670
00:53:47,304 --> 00:53:50,524
beeswax, and sulfur for
671
00:53:50,524 --> 00:53:53,514
and why we bought them
672
00:53:53,514 --> 00:53:56,464
to keep your trust in my family and me.
673
00:54:04,854 --> 00:54:07,674
I definitely had the ledgers.
674
00:54:07,674 --> 00:54:10,274
When were they swapped out like this?
675
00:54:10,274 --> 00:54:12,034
Aigoo, Aigoo!
676
00:54:12,034 --> 00:54:14,274
What should I do?
677
00:54:15,394 --> 00:54:17,794
I collided with a basket merchant leaving the store.
678
00:54:17,794 --> 00:54:19,814
Someone must have swapped them, then.
679
00:54:19,814 --> 00:54:23,224
Someone must have been following me.
680
00:54:24,234 --> 00:54:26,164
Who do you think took it?
681
00:54:26,164 --> 00:54:30,784
Left State Minister's sworn enemy, Jo Won Bo, the Prince of the Court of Seongju.
682
00:54:30,784 --> 00:54:35,184
If he's the one who swapped out the ledgers, he must have understood what they meant.
683
00:54:35,184 --> 00:54:38,304
Also, if he found out what they meant,
684
00:54:38,304 --> 00:54:40,854
he probably did something about it.
685
00:54:40,854 --> 00:54:43,154
He will not miss any chance.
686
00:54:43,154 --> 00:54:46,684
He is definitely not someone who will hesitate in front of prey.
687
00:54:46,684 --> 00:54:49,954
- Left State Minister and Sergeant are in danger.
- If so,
688
00:54:49,954 --> 00:54:53,314
do you believe Left State Minister is innocent?
689
00:54:53,314 --> 00:54:56,324
If Sergeant and Left State Minister are innocent,
690
00:54:56,324 --> 00:55:00,854
they must have needed beeswax, gunpowder, and sulfur for a reason.
691
00:55:00,854 --> 00:55:03,774
Why did they need all of them at once?
692
00:55:04,954 --> 00:55:07,214
Your Highness.
693
00:55:07,214 --> 00:55:11,604
- If you look inside their storage-
- We can find out...
694
00:55:12,684 --> 00:55:15,464
why they needed them.
695
00:55:15,464 --> 00:55:19,454
But Your Highness, if you opened the storage and-
696
00:55:19,454 --> 00:55:21,874
If my belief was wrong?
697
00:55:21,874 --> 00:55:25,074
It will end Left State Minister's political career without a doubt,
698
00:55:25,074 --> 00:55:29,864
the Han family of Yeongsan will be destroyed. That means,
699
00:55:29,864 --> 00:55:33,664
Jo Won Bo and the Jo family of Seongju will have eliminated their enemy,
700
00:55:33,664 --> 00:55:36,744
and end up with even more power.
701
00:55:42,904 --> 00:55:44,494
Your Highness.
702
00:55:45,544 --> 00:55:48,004
Do you really not have enough trust in them
703
00:55:49,274 --> 00:55:51,594
to open up their storage?
704
00:56:05,074 --> 00:56:07,744
Just like what you told me once,
705
00:56:11,294 --> 00:56:14,364
if I did not get the ghost's letter...
706
00:56:14,364 --> 00:56:17,394
Your friend will turn his back against you and aim his sword at you...
707
00:56:17,394 --> 00:56:20,944
When I became the Crown Prince, I decided not to have any friends.
708
00:56:20,944 --> 00:56:24,074
If I did not get the ghost's letter,
709
00:56:24,074 --> 00:56:26,554
I am sure that...
710
00:56:26,554 --> 00:56:30,734
I would have opened up that storage solely based on
711
00:56:30,734 --> 00:56:33,634
my trust in my old friend, Sergeant Han.
712
00:56:44,764 --> 00:56:47,814
I will open up their storage.
713
00:56:49,174 --> 00:56:51,404
I will try...
714
00:56:52,524 --> 00:56:54,494
trusting Sergeant and Left State Minister.
715
00:57:02,044 --> 00:57:03,684
Will you...
716
00:57:07,894 --> 00:57:10,714
be friends with me again?
717
00:57:13,524 --> 00:57:15,124
Your Highness.
718
00:57:17,394 --> 00:57:18,984
I...
719
00:57:20,284 --> 00:57:23,974
was never not your friend.
720
00:57:32,404 --> 00:57:34,584
I do not know why...
721
00:57:37,304 --> 00:57:39,934
tears keep coming down.
722
00:57:47,684 --> 00:57:49,724
It is a miracle
723
00:57:50,764 --> 00:57:54,314
for two people to meet, rely on, and trust each other.
724
00:57:54,314 --> 00:57:55,764
Yes.
725
00:57:56,834 --> 00:57:59,274
That is a miracle.
726
00:58:01,374 --> 00:58:05,934
I will start creating those miracles every day from now on.
727
00:58:05,934 --> 00:58:09,734
I will have a friend, trust that friend,
728
00:58:09,734 --> 00:58:11,264
and...
729
00:58:12,304 --> 00:58:14,304
also, protect him.
730
00:59:04,624 --> 00:59:07,174
[Our Blooming Youth]
731
00:59:07,174 --> 00:59:09,834
Will you be my friend, too?
732
00:59:09,834 --> 00:59:12,144
His Highness, the foundation of the country,
733
00:59:12,144 --> 00:59:15,414
cannot separate public and personal matters.
734
00:59:15,414 --> 00:59:18,724
You are taking advantage of the royal family's misfortune.
735
00:59:18,724 --> 00:59:20,294
Why are you looking at me like that?
736
00:59:20,294 --> 00:59:22,674
Make sure to keep him alive and bring him to me.
737
00:59:22,674 --> 00:59:25,594
I will follow your order, Your Majesty!
738
00:59:25,594 --> 00:59:28,514
All the cases are pointing toward Byeokcheon.
739
00:59:28,514 --> 00:59:29,504
Come on in.
740
00:59:29,504 --> 00:59:32,394
The Crown Prince cannot get involved in politics.
741
00:59:32,394 --> 00:59:35,100
Your hometown is Byeokcheon, as I hear.
742
