UNDER THE QUEEN'S UMBRELLA

EPISODE 13

I will leave the collateral for him.

Thank you.

My lord!

I really missed you.

My name is Yoon Cheong-ha.

It is so pretty.

When you see another beautiful sunrise just like this one,

you will surely think of me, right?

The eldest daughter of the Minister of War stands on the side of the Queen Dowager.

Your Royal Highness!

Have you no fear?

This is the royal palace.

How dare you bring

a child of a Grand Prince born out of wedlock?

Please take this child in.

How irresponsible of you.

How could you think of abandoning an unweaned child?

It has been a few days

since the child started recognizing faces.

Once the child starts to recognize their mother's face,

it will only get harder for the child.

Your Royal Highness, you must return to the quarters of the Crown Princess.

Your Royal Highness.

The bride should not be left alone on the night of the royal wedding.

She will shed tears all night long.

Your Royal Highness.

I got deserted on my wedding night?

What is the reason?

Does he not like me?

Or perhaps he feels uncomfortable sleeping together?

Do not tell me…

Does he not know how to make love?

If so, this is a serious problem.

So what? We can learn that together.

Well,

Mother.

Can you just tell me what it is that I did wrong?

Come in.

Why is there a baby?

How adorable.

Peekaboo!

Who is this beautiful baby?

By any chance,

is it my child?

Then what about Cho-wol?

Where is Cho-wol?

She left after leaving the child with us.

Mother.

Please look for Cho-wol.

Do you

not understand your current situation?

Do you have any idea

what will happen if the identity of the child is exposed?

Then,

I can raise the child without getting caught.

Do you know how dangerous that is?

If anyone finds out…

That child will have to

live with the label of being born out of wedlock.

But we cannot just abandon the baby.

I will

take responsibility and raise the child.

Are you sure

you can keep your word?

Yes, Mother.

Very well.

Go ahead and do as you said.

Are you leaving already?

Mother?

Mother!

Let us go to sleep.

Baby.

Can you please be quiet?

If anyone hears you, we will get caught.

Stop crying and go to sleep now, will you?

Why are you crying?

I need to know why so that I can help you.

There are such shells everywhere,

but I will keep that one's other half.

So if we meet once again,

please consider it fate.

The eldest daughter of the Minister of War stands on the side of the Queen Dowager.

Your Royal Highness.

It is time for you to pay your respects.

Where is His Royal Highness?

He left last night and never returned.

Pardon?

Why?

I do not know.

I thought about it all night.

But I still do not know why.

I will just ask him

when we pay our respects.

Your Royal Highness.

Why did you leave last night?

Announce our arrival.

I am here to pay my respects, Grandmother.

Did you have a good night?

Yes, I did.

Did the two of you successfully consummate your marriage?

Since early this morning, there was a strange rumor spreading in the palace,

so I was worried.

I heard

you left the quarters of the Crown Princess last night.

Is it true?

Your servants must be very interested in me.

They seem too busy to serve you

because their eyes are fixed on my quarters.

Your Royal Highness.

It is true that His Royal Highness left my quarters for a moment,

but he returned shortly after.

Is that so?

Yes, Your Royal Highness. So you do not have to worry.

The Crown Prince and Princess did not spend the night together?

No, Your Majesty.

Everyone in the palace is busy talking about

how the Crown Princess was neglected.

Send word to the Crown Prince.

Tell him to visit me once his evening lessons end.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What about Grand Prince Muan?

How is he doing?

Fortunately, it seems he survived the night.

To be honest,

I thought His Highness would not even make it through one night.

Your Majesty, the Crown Princess has come to visit you.

Baby.

Stop crying and go to sleep now, will you?

It has only been one day.

But it feels like a year.

His Royal Highness

left me alone in my quarters last night.

What could be the reason?

I came to visit you in hopes that you would know something.

You must have been very upset.

Yes, Your Majesty.

By the way, Your Majesty,

did the Crown Prince not receive any education about intercourse?

No.

He was never taught that.

Why not?

I may be his parent,

but how can I explain what happens in bed in such detail?

However, Your Majesty,

I was taught that there is nothing more important

to the Crown Prince than having an heir.

It is also our duty to accede to the throne.

If you were an ordinary parent,

teaching your child how to make love would be unnecessary.

But you are the Queen,

so you have the responsibility

to teach the Crown Prince how to fulfill his duties.

Come to think of it, I am partially responsible.

I will set another date.

Why do we have to set a date?

That is…

a very interesting question.

What is the matter?

Court Lady Shin.

Please save me.

The baby did not sleep a wink.

What is the reason?

I have never raised a child before either, so I do not know.

Do not tell me you left the baby alone.

I did not.

Goodness, Your Highness.

If you roam around like this, someone will notice her.

Peekaboo!

Peekaboo!

Peekaboo!

Peekaboo!

What are you doing?

Your Majesty.

You said you would raise her on your own.

What are you doing here?

Please save me, Mother.

She constantly cries and will not fall asleep.

Please help me.

Were you not so confident?

-Mother. -What is it?

Ever since yesterday, I have not been able to eat, sleep, or relieve myself.

And the hardest to control

is bowel movements.

Oh, dear, Your Majesty.

Uichang, the Righteous Granaries, was formed to provide aid for the needy.

However, it has become corrupt,

and the people have not been able to receive the benefits for a long time.

Therefore,

I am thinking of putting the Crown Prince in charge of reforming Uichang.

Your Majesty.

It has not been long since His Royal Highness has been crowned.

I believe it is too early to entrust him with such an important task

related to political affairs.

I respectfully disagree, Chief State Councilor.

I believe it is a great opportunity

for the Crown Prince to display his abilities.

The Crown Prince made realistic proposals to improve Uichang during the contest.

I believe entrusting him with the task is not a far-fetched idea.

However, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness

is not yet experienced enough to handle political affairs.

He may be inexperienced, but that may,

in turn, lead him to approach the problem with a new perspective.

The reason why we have not yet been able to solve this problem

is that we court officials were not able to think unconventionally.

What do you think, Minister of Taxation?

If the experience I built outside the palace

and the innovative perspective of the Crown Prince mix well,

I am certain we will contribute to solving the chronic issue of Uichang.

Very well, then.

Your Majesty.

If the Crown Prince fails to execute this task successfully,

he should no longer be allowed to take part in political affairs.

Your Royal Highness, is there a book you are looking for?

I wanted to see if there were any books about Uichang.

But I do not see any.

Find the books regarding Sangpyeongchang and the jinhyulchaek.

SANGPYEONGCHANG: ORGANIZATION OF PRICE REGULATION

JINHYULCHAEK: RELIEF POLICY FOR THOSE IN NEED

What is the matter, Your Royal Highness?

These well-thumbed books

are the only things left that belonged to my brother.

She will wake up as soon as you lay her down.

I am serious.

Mother.

What is your secret?

Do you know

why rituals for rain have not once failed?

It is because people wait until it rains.

The same applies to babies.

You have to hold them close and soothe them until they stop crying.

She is the cutest when she is asleep.

You were too.

Seeing how she is a light sleeper

and she wakes up as soon as you lay her down,

I guess she is your child.

Was I also like her?

You were much worse.

You only fell asleep after I held you for long hours.

She has to grow up without a mother.

I feel so bad for her.

My apologies, Mother.

I had a lecture to attend, so I am late.

It must be hard to adapt to all the sudden changes, Your Royal Highness.

Mother.

When we are alone, please drop the honorifics.

That is the hardest to adapt to.

Very well.

What did you want to speak with me about?

By any chance,

do you not like the Crown Princess?

That is not true.

Then,

why did you leave her quarters without spending the night with her?

Crown Prince.

I selected the Crown Princess.

You did?

Before the selection, I happened to meet the Crown Princess by chance.

She seemed bright and confident, which I admired.

However,

there is another reason why I thought highly of her.

I chose her because she was in love with you.

I mean, she loves my son.

How could I not adore her?

You are the only reason why she entered the palace.

Therefore,

you need to protect and cherish her.

Yes, Mother.

What is it?

Do you have something more to say?

There is something I must show you.

What is this?

I believe it is a portion of Brother's treatment journal.

It seems like Physician Kwon did not only treat hyeolheogwol.

Your Highness.

Why did you call me to a place like this?

Since you are here,

please have a seat.

Ever since Physician Kwon started performing acupuncture on gimunhyeol,

I started coughing up blood.

The pain around my ribs is also getting worse.

This journal was indeed written by your brother.

There were a lot of records regarding acupuncture on gimunhyeol,

but I did not suspect anything since it was to treat hyeolheogwol.

According to another physician,

it is a point for treating hyeolheogwol,

but depending on the depth of the needle, it can also damage the organ.

What we now know for certain

is that his symptoms of coughing up blood appeared

after Physician Kwon started performing acupuncture.

If your brother was murdered,

the prime suspect is Physician Kwon.

However,

Physician Kwon had no motive for murder.

Someone else must be behind it.

There were many people within the palace

who wanted to kill your brother.

If it was really Physician Kwon's doing,

is there a way to prove it?

I will pretend I did not just hear that nonsense.

Then you will no longer have a chance.

How bold of you.

What will you do if I expose you?

Do you not agree?

You killed an innocent civilian so you could become the Crown Prince.

But in the end, a direct heir inherited the crown.

Do you think you will get another chance?

Even if we were to drag down the Crown Prince right now,

if His Majesty were to ever hear that you killed an innocent civilian,

I am pretty sure

he will never let you become the Crown Prince.

So are you telling me to rebel against my father?

If he cannot ascend you to the throne,

you can always step over him to do so.

Shut your mouth!

He is my father.

And I will not take part in your treachery.

The current king took the throne through treason!

We are only trying to restore a dynasty that was usurped.

We are also giving you a chance.

We will make you the Crown Prince.

You are a mere physician.

What power do you hold to make me the Crown Prince?

I am the one who killed the late Crown Prince

on the order of your mother.

It was only possible because I was a mere physician.

So?

What do you want from me?

Provide us with the opportunity to meet the Chief State Councilor.

I shall withdraw the dismissal of Kwon O-gyeong

and reinstate him as a physician of the Royal Clinic.

It was not me.

You are not the one who called Physician Kwon back into the palace?

No.

I was planning on reinstating him,

but not this soon.

Then who on earth called him back?

I am much obliged, Your Majesty.

I heard you made a request to His Majesty to reinstate me.

You went through a lot.

Not at all.

Your Majesty, is there a reason why you called me back?

It seems…

the late Crown Prince was poisoned.

Why is it that you think the Crown Prince was poisoned?

If that happens to be true,

the first person who should be suspected is me.

I was always with you when you treated the Crown Prince.

If you harmed the Crown Prince,

I would not be free from blame either.

Physician Kwon.

Would you like to join me in finding out

how and why

the Crown Prince had to die?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I am at your service, Your Majesty.

I shall do

whatever it takes to reveal the truth.

If it was really Physician Kwon's doing, is there a way to prove it?

I am going to call Physician Kwon back into the palace.

I will use him

and make him bring me the poison that killed your brother.

The reinstatement

could be a trap.

The Queen has found out that the late Crown Prince was poisoned.

There is no way of escaping now.

This may be better for us.

We can use this opportunity to our advantage.

Her Majesty said she would set a date for our night together.

How am I supposed to wait until then?

Goodness. Is it that hard to wait?

Do not get me wrong.

It is not because I want to spend the night with him.

It is because that is the only time I get to be with His Royal Highness.

If there is no other time,

you can just make an opportunity.

It is said that His Royal Highness

consumes two spoonfuls of grain syrup every morning.

Is that so?

Why is no one here?

Should we just return to your quarters?

But we came all the way here.

Open the door.

What are you doing there?

I heard you consume grain syrup in the morning, so…

But why are you standing there like that?

I was putting on my garments.

Crown Princess.

Could you leave now?

I will leave after putting this down.

Crown Princess.

Could you remove your hand?

Forgive me, Your Royal Highness.

Brother.

-We are here. -We are here.

What?

There is nothing you can hide in the palace.

Right?

So?

Did you meet the nurse?

Yes. As you expected,

she was the nurse who helped treat Crown Prince Taein's hyeolheogwol.

What did she say the prince looked like after his death?

Did she remember his scar?

She left the Royal Clinic in the middle of the treatment

and did not see his corpse.

I am not sure if this will be of any help.

What is this?

It is the prescription written by Royal Physician Yoo at the time.

Her mother also suffered from hyeolheogwol,

so she took it with her when she left the Royal Clinic.

Bring me the prescription that was brought from outside the palace.

BAEKBOKRYEONG

OMAE

Call the Crown Prince at once!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Typically, prescriptions for hyeolheogwol do not include baekbokryeong and omae.

However, Yoo Sang-uk's prescription

and the one you brought from the outside

both include those two herbs.

Even the handwriting is similar.

Master Toji, the person who prescribed this…

What is he like?

I heard he is a skillful physician who wanders around.

Can we find him?

He used to live in the hut village,

but no one knows his whereabouts now.

We have to…

find him no matter what.

The poison used on the late Crown Prince

is a yungaek that does not react to beopmul.

YUNGAEK: LIQUID, BEOPMUL: TOOL USED TO DETECT POISON DURING AUTOPSY

Who did you say you found?

I found Royal Physician Yoo Sang-uk.

But I heard he passed long ago.

No, he is alive.

He was seen in Hanseong,

so we will find him soon.

I am quite certain

he will be the key to revealing the cause

of the death of the late Crown Prince.

Who in their right mind would think of doing that?

His Majesty is your father.

He is a father who has never embraced me warmly.

You cannot do this.

The one they are trying to make king is Grand Prince Yeongwon, Yi Ik-hyeon.

He is the younger brother of Crown Prince Taein!

It is I who killed all of his brothers and helped His Majesty ascend the throne.

How could you ask me to do such a thing?

Yi Ik-hyeon will end up dying.

What do you mean?

The biggest mistake you made during the revolt 20 years ago

is that you let the deposed Queen and Yi Ik-hyeon live.

However,

I will not make such a mistake.

What on earth are you thinking?

If I cannot become the Crown Prince,

I will aim for the throne.

Her eyes, nose, and lips fit in her small face.

I cannot believe such a beautiful baby is your child.

She takes after me.

Come on.

I do not see the resemblance.

Not in her eyes, nose, or lips.

What are you saying?

She looks exactly like me.

No, she does not.

What part of her takes after you?

There.

-I found something. -What is it?

Her toes resemble yours.

Goodness.

It is my first time seeing you read a book of your own accord.

What is the book about for you to be so immersed in it?

It is Yangarok.

It was written by a grandfather to record the growth of his grandson.

It brings about emotions that can only be felt by those who have children.

I am also thinking of writing a book for A-ra starting today.

Have you already named the baby?

That is right. I named her A-ra.

A-ra, do you like your name?

She is so adorable.

I always wanted to have a younger sister.

I am so glad.

Your Highness.

It is time to feed the baby.

Court Lady Shin.

The bond between us siblings is just so strong.

Please keep it a secret from Mother.

I will bring her back once she is done being fed.

Thank you.

All right.

Come on then.

Her Grace fell asleep just now after being fed.

Very well.

Keep her next to her wet nurse

until she wakes up.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You sleep so well

after being well-fed.

Mother!

Mother.

I think A-ra is unwell.

She seems to have a mild fever and wakes up after every half an hour.

Bring her to me.

What is wrong?

What is causing her to be sick?

She does not seem to have a fever.

Did she vomit or have diarrhea?

No, she did not.

It seems to be yaje, infantile colic.

For now,

we have to keep her warm.

It is not your fault.

This is common for infants.

I am an incompetent father.

I can never resolve a problem on my own.

I always need your help, Mother.

Mother.

I have a request to make.

Go ahead.

Can you please find Cho-wol?

No matter how great I do,

A-ra needs a mother.

Also, Cho-wol would want to see A-ra as well.

Then,

no matter what happens in the future,

are you ready to face the consequences

without running away?

Yes, I can handle it.

Bring in her wet nurse.

You must serve Princess A-ra with all your heart.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Cho-wol.

If I raise this child,

she will be destined to live a low life.

So please…

Please take in this child.

That would mean

you will no longer be able to live as the mother of the child.

You may not even be able to see her again.

-I am aware. -You may regret your decision.

It will be more painful than you can imagine.

I have also…

once abandoned a newborn baby.

I regretted it instantly.

But it took a long time to return everything to its rightful place.

Right now,

you may think this is the best option for the child,

but it might not be.

I will try to come up with a solution.

Will you do as I say?

Mother.

Make sure you do not get caught.

When the time is right,

I will let you live without having to hide.

I was worried that a child was raising a child.

But it seems he has grown in the past few days.

As for the wet nurse, look after her in my stead.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Come on now.

Why are you doing this again?

Why did you suddenly disappear without a trace?

What do you mean?

I am a mere physician.

If my patients call for me, I have to wander and find them.

How is that a problem?

You are not a mere physician,

Royal Physician Yoo Sang-uk.

Let me ask again.

You must have heard about the death of the late Crown Prince.

Why did you vanish immediately after his death?

Answer me.

Upon hearing that another crown prince passed after receiving my treatment,

I was afraid

and distressed that I had to hide.

However,

there was nothing wrong with my prescription.

You are well aware of that, are you not?

Take a look at this.

Who does this belong to?

What is the matter?

Is this the bokgeomsihyeongdo of Crown Prince Taein?

BOKGEOMSIHYEONGDO: A DRAWING OF THE STATE OF A DEAD BODY

That is my brother's.

That cannot be true.

This is too similar to the report of Crown Prince Taein, who was poisoned.

Did you just say "poisoned"?

Crown Prince Taein also had a similar scar on his chest.

The poison that was used has not yet been uncovered.

But I am certain that Crown Prince Taein was poisoned to death.

Are you telling me that Crown Prince Taein

and my brother were killed with the same method?

There is no evidence left.

So…

how am I supposed to trust you?

I am the one who examined the corpse of Crown Prince Taein.

The late king was there with me, and he observed the whole process.

Then I will become the bait.

The Queen found out that I am Yoo Sang-uk.

I will turn that to our advantage.

Are you saying you will get caught on purpose?

Yes.

I am going to make Her Majesty dig into the death of Crown Prince Taein herself.

She will end up heading in that direction.

That is a risky strategy.

Approaching those records ourselves is even riskier, and you know that.

We will provide her with a shortcut.

Once the Queen starts to move, we will hide in her shadow

and unlock the secrets.

Keep an eye on him.

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

You were right, Mother.

Yes.

Master Toji…

I mean,

Yoo Sang-uk and Physician Kwon are connected in some way.

Seeing how he fell into the trap on his own

tells me that he is willing

to take the risk in order to obtain something from me.

We cannot trust everything Yoo Sang-uk says,

but if the late king was really present during the examination,

there should be a record of it in Seungjeongwon ilgi.

The documentation official records every detail of the king's life.

You are right.

Therefore, even though the certificate of death has disappeared,

as long as we find that record,

we may be able to reveal the cause of the death of your brother.

However, that record is in Seungjeongwon, the Royal Secretariat.

Approaching Seungjeongwon in private

would be violating the law.

It has been so long since we talked over a cup of tea like this.

It is pine needle tea that helps you fall asleep

if drunk before bed.

I have never seen such a cup before.

It is from the Western Regions.

If you pour water into this cup that is thinner and clearer than cherry blossoms,

you will be able to see

the tea leaves swirl around as it brews.

I do not have to smell it

to figure out what is inside this cup.

Even if there were weeds

instead of tea leaves,

I would easily be able to tell.

Have a drink.

Very well.

Goodness.

I can no longer drink the tea you have prepared, Consort Hwang.

Let us end our chat here.

Seeing that you used poison on me,

it seems like I have found out something I should not have.

Who is the real father

of Prince Uiseong?

Mother.

Have you been well?

UNDER THE QUEEN'S UMBRELLA

I will not allow the reinvestigation

of the death of Crown Prince Taein.

There is a person and incident involved that you cannot handle.

It seems like the Queen is suspicious of me.

Father might become their next target.

It is too late.

The Queen Dowager also seems to be aware of this.

Your marriage will be consummated tonight at midnight

when the moon is full.

What? Hwaja?

There is a rumor in the palace that he is infertile.

This is it.

The poison that killed the late Crown Prince.
