EPISODE 4

Mother was definitely coming from
the direction of the burning chamber.

Let Mother know that I am here.

I apologize,
but Her Majesty is not in her chamber.

I will inform her of your visit
once she returns.

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

No, you cannot go…

Why is His Royal Highness here?

What is he being treated for?

Answer me.

I shall give you the answer.

Why is he in your quarters
instead of at the hot spring?

I heard he left
to treat his skin condition.

Officially, he did.

I plan on notifying His Majesty
as soon as he gets better.

So Father does not know this either?

What is his condition?
Why do you go so far as to hide it?

Hyeolheogwol.

Crown Prince Taein
also suffered from this disease.

Are you saying Brother may pass away?

Yes.

As you said, Crown Prince Taein
died of hyeolheogwol.

That is what everyone believes.

However, the mother of
Crown Prince Taein said

that the disease was not what killed him.

That is what she would like to believe.

I felt the same way.

So I searched for
the records of Naeuiwon, the Royal Clinic.

But…

the records were destroyed in a fire.

Nothing was left behind.

That is not all.

Not a single person
who was involved is alive.

So I thought

the Crown Prince may be further endangered
if I made a rash move.

That is why I could not tell you.

But what if his condition worsens

after missing
the most ideal period of treatment?

No parent would do anything
to harm their child.

I cannot explain everything to you,

but this was

the best decision I could make
to protect your brother.

Then did you also start the fire…

to protect Grand Prince Gyeseong?

I am asking if that was
the best decision you could make.

Yes.

It was the best I could do.

Then did I grow up alone
outside of the palace when I was young

because you made that decision
for my sake?

You were taken from me
as soon as I gave birth to you.

I was too young back then.

I thought that was the only way

to keep you alive.

I understand.

Please tell me about that
when the time is right.

For now, please focus on treating Brother.

I will.

Would you like a drink?

Brother, I decided
not to take the second exam.

I pondered a while to reach this decision,
so please do understand.

You do not need my understanding.

But you should obtain Mother's permission.

She expected the most out of you.

Mother is the one who suggested it first.

I wish to ask you
to do your best for me too.

You are now the only child
Mother can count on.

I am sorry to put the burden on you.

No one expects anything of me.
It is not a burden.

By the way,

were you with Mother?

That is a secret between Mother and me,

so do not ask.

-How can I help you?
-I want to find someone.

The price depends on the person.

There is a disease called hyeolheogwol.

I want to find
a physician who can treat it.

You have two days.

You should go to the dispensary.

Why are you here asking…

I did, but I could not find one.
That is why I came to you.

If you can pay good money,
we can find you anyone but His Majesty.

But I think it will cost quite a lot
for what you are requesting.

Why are you doing this?

To draw your sword
for a bit of overpricing…

Is this enough?

Did you say we have two days to find him?

Your Majesty, I hear
Royal Physician Cho Guk-yeong is back.

Would you like to meet him?

I should.

No, forget it.

He was also…

one of the royal physicians
for Crown Prince Taein.

But he rose to the rank of dangsanggwan,
a minister-level official.

Other royal physicians
were either exiled or killed.

while this man climbed the ladder.

Is it not odd?

But Your Majesty,

His Royal Highness is not showing
any improvements.

Consulting Royal Physician Cho
for treatment

is the best you can do right now.

Yet I cannot consult him.

Your Majesty,
Court Lady Oh at your service.

What is it?

Are you suggesting that the Crown Prince
return to the palace?

Yes, Royal Physician Cho
has returned to the palace,

so let him take charge
of treating his skin disease.

The Crown Princess will give birth soon,
so tell him to return quickly.

Yes, Your Majesty. I will do that.

No, Your Majesty.

He is not well enough
to make an official appearance.

Once the Crown Princess gives birth,
he will have no choice but to appear.

It will be a problem
if he does not come to her delivery,

but if he shows up in this condition,

all will be able to see
how ill His Royal Highness is.

We do not know what may happen next.

I am sure there is someone who assisted

Royal Physician Yoo Sang-uk
or worked as a female physician.

It can be anyone who was involved
with the Royal Clinic back then.

Hurry and find them. This is urgent.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Did you prescribe cheongeumnurotang
to His Majesty?

Yes.

It was prescribed
because he had yeoljeung.

I see.

YEOLJEUNG: SEVERE ILLNESS
WITH A VERY HIGH FEVER

Why are you here?

Pardon?

I heard His Royal Highness is away
from the palace due to his skin disease.

You are his physician,
so why are you in the palace?

His Royal Highness wished to leave

only with his eunuch
as he only had itching symptoms.

His Majesty also gave him permission.

Is that so?

But while I was gone,

I saw a record of your prescription
of ginseng extract to him.

Did he…

show signs of
blood deficiency and fatigue?

No, sire.

The medicine was prescribed
for his headache and signs of anemia.

He has gotten better
after taking the medicine.

The Crown Princess
will deliver in 15 days.

You will take turns
doing night duty starting today.

-Yes, Sire.
-Yes, Sire.

By the way, why did you live
outside of the palace until you were ten?

You were quite young back then.
Do you remember that?

Of course I do.
I suddenly got an older brother.

What was the reason?

I am not sure.

I do not know either.

Are you not curious?

Do not be curious
and do not try to find out.

Where is Eunuch Kim?

He tried to find out something
he did not need to know,

so I sent him far away.

I cannot sleep without Eunuch Kim around.

The palace is too big,

and it is too scary at night.

So why were you curious?

Your useless curiosity did this to him.

You should become used to the palace.
This will be your home from now on.

In the palace,

turn a blind eye to things you see,
forget things you hear,

and if there is something you wish to say,
keep your mouth shut.

Good boy.

Swallow it down, be it tears or curiosity…

if you wish to protect
what is precious to you.

Brother.

Are you not going to tell me?

Stop minding my story.
Do not be curious either.

You lucky little brat.

Hey, get up.

Why?

I am here killing myself studying
to become the cohort of the Crown Prince.

I cannot go out,

and I have nothing better to do,
so I just got bored.

You have things to do.

Read out the important parts to me.

Pardon?

Start reading.

I wish to conduct the second exam
through a debate

and the total score will be calculated
based on their aggregate scores.

Your Majesty.

Passing the first examination
already proved their excellent knowledge.

We held the first examination
to pick out the princes with high scores.

It is only proper to evaluate them
solely based on the second examination.

I agree that the princes already proved

their level of knowledge
through the first examination.

However, if the second exam
is conducted through a debate,

it will be difficult
to evaluate them objectively.

Also,

the personal feelings of the evaluator
may be reflected in their scores.

In order to evaluate them fairly,

it will be appropriate to add the scores
from the first examination.

Your Majesty, you initially decided
not to add the scores of the first exam.

It is only proper you decide

on the evaluation process and methods
after a discussion with us--

This is proper, that is proper!

I am simply trying to select a cohort.

How is it that I am not allowed to change
such minor things according to my will?

You can discuss
and decide on a few topics.

I will pick one
and make the final decision.

-Yes, Your Majesty.
-Yes, Your Majesty.

It seems like His Majesty is forgetting
who put him on the throne.

I agree with you.

He has become quite opinionated lately.

At this rate, His Majesty
may select a cohort as he pleases.

No matter how dogmatic he acts,

in the end, we have the final say.

The tutors of the Crown Prince

evaluate and decide
on the cohort of the Crown Prince.

What brings you here,
Chief State Councilor?

All eyes in the palace are on the
selection of the Crown Prince's cohort.

But His Majesty said
he was "simply" trying to find a cohort.

Then I heard something

you passed on through my daughter.

There seems to be a problem
with the Crown Prince.

In that case, I do not think
this will simply be a cohort.

I came to confirm with you
if my thoughts were correct.

You came for a confirmation?

I used to be able to tell
what you had on your mind

when I looked at you.

But it has now become quite blurry,
so it is impossible for me to tell.

I guess you have gotten old.
Your discernment has become cloudy.

You came to a remote corner of the palace
to discuss the issue of a mere cohort.

When one seeks something,

even a woman will leave the palace
to meet someone late at night.

So what is to stop me from visiting
the quarters of the Queen Dowager?

20 YEARS AGO

Please proceed with the taekhyeon.

His Royal Highness
is still alive and well.

Why are you already thinking
of the next Crown Prince selection?

This can become a plot of treason,
First Junior Consort Cho.

When treason succeeds,

it can also turn into history.

If something happens to the Crown Prince,

then will you promise

to proceed with the taekhyeon?

Taekhyeon…

Then what do I get from this?

You will become the chief state councilor
and oversee everything.

So you should be
the father of the Queen, should you not?

The father of the Queen?

Do you know
why I accepted your offer back then?

Because you and I both wanted Joseon

to be a strong kingdom.

Therefore, I would like to ask you this.

Will this selection simply decide
on the cohort of the Crown Prince

or is this a step to strengthen
and bring prosperity to this nation?

Chief State Councilor.

If you go on any further,
your words can become treason.

I am making history,
not committing treason.

You and His Majesty are proving this.

What is it that you want?

Just as I helped you then,

I need you to help me this time.

How shall I help you?

I need you to fully support
Prince Uiseong.

Please mobilize your people,
Your Royal Highness.

Prince Bogeom.

Greet him. He is here
as your geobyeok, expert scribe.

It is nice to meet you.
My name is Bae Do-hun.

GEOBYEOK: AN EXPERT WHO WRITES
OR PROVIDES ANSWERS IN AN EXAM

Deputy Minister
of the Ministry of Justice.

I believe you also hold office
as the tutor of the Crown Prince.

Is it not your duty as a tutor to educate
and teach the Crown Prince the proper way?

Yes, you are correct.

But you came this late at night
to teach me the corrupt way?

-Pardon?
-Also, Deputy Minister,

are you not involved
in the selection of the cohort?

So is it allowed for you
to contact me in private like this?

Well, that is…

If you do not follow the rules
and take makeshift measures, you fail.

I do not wish to cheat
and violate the rules.

So please leave.

I apologize.

Oh, my.

Wait. Goodness.

Wait a moment.

Goodness, Prince Bogeom!

Do not ever do anything like this again.

I am not trying to become
the cohort of the Crown Prince.

I just want to put my studies
and abilities to the test

on my own, without help from anyone.

Mother.

Why are you up?

-Is too bright?
-No.

Those are…

-books on medicine, are they not?
-Yes.

I was reading them to know
more about that darned disease.

I need to know what in the world
this thing is that is torturing my child.

But the terminology is too difficult.

Mother.

I am sorry I could not recover faster.

I feel guilty every night,
as though I am an undutiful child.

I would like you to return
to your bedchamber

and sleep in peace tonight.

I am fine.

This is not hard.

I am not tired at all.

Mother.

-I am getting very sleepy.
-Very well.

Oh, my goodness.

Is that the famous Sigangwon?

Is it just me

or does it look
more magnificent than Jonghak?

Please lower your voice.

Why?

I am just marveled that my son is
here at a place only for the Crown Prince.

Just do as you prepared.

Make sure you stay calm.

I will not lose.

Not even by a word.

Where are Her Majesty
and the Grand Princes?

Have you not heard?
Prince Gyeseong withdrew this morning.

Then only Grand Prince Seongnam remains?

Mother.

Why are you here
when Brother is still ill?

I should still attend.

Do not feel burdened.

Brother.

Are there really all kinds of things
in the market outside the palace?

That place is another world.

Are we really going to be all right?

We were eliminated, so who cares?

What if we get caught?

Everyone is busy with the second exam,

so no one will notice even if we go out.

BOKSI: SECOND EXAMINATION
OF COHORT SELECTION

These are the topics
we submitted to His Majesty.

One of these will become the debate topic,

so prepare a manuscript,
then memorize it thoroughly.

I looked over the topics
turned in by the Royal Court,

but I will not choose from them.

Bring them.

These appeals are all related
to the new plague and hut villages.

I wish to discuss
the problem of the hut village in Seochon,

the main issue these days,
with my princes today.

And this one.
His Majesty may change the topic,

so we must be prepared.

We did not include the most timely issues

such as the plague
and the hut village among the topics.

Did you leave them out on purpose?

Prince Uiseong must be
given the most advantages

to stand out all alone.

I will also be able to avoid the scandal
of leaking the exam topic.

These are manuscripts
related to the topic.

Even the Queen Dowager is on our side.
If he does not make a big mistake,

Prince Uiseong will become
the cohort of the Crown Prince.

In Seochon,

a highly infectious new plague
began to spread.

Thankfully, the capital sealed off
the hut village where the plague began

and stopped the spread.

After that, other cases
that sporadically occurred

were quarantined in the hut village.

The hut village will stay sealed off

until the plague is over.

Goodness, it is killing me.

Consider these and discuss ways
to stop the spread of the plague

as well as to keep the hut village
controlled and under quarantine.

The key issue is how severely
the hut village should be quarantined.

They must be strictly separated
and severed from the outside world.

But the patients must be divided
according to the severity of symptoms,

and those who have fully recovered
shall be released from quarantine.

I disagree.

When the plague first spread,
there were no distinct symptoms,

so some thought they recovered,
but there were 32 cases of relapses.

Therefore, if we release
patients who do not show any symptoms,

the plague might spread
all over the capital.

Prince Uiseong supports his argument
by using specific examples.

Hence, any contact
with the sick should be prevented

and providing relief
shall also be stopped.

Are you insane?

Are you saying
they should starve to death?

His Majesty is present.
One should watch what they say.

They only held out until now
because of the relief.

We must also provide guryo.

GURYO: MEDICAL SUPPORT

If ending the plague
is the way to protect the capital,

we must kill the plague, not the people.

They received relief
without medical support

because it is impossible to avoid
coming in close contact.

If physicians had access

to the source of the plague
to treat a few people,

the plague could end up
spreading into the capital.

There is a way to end this plague.

We can eradicate it
just as we eradicate blight.

When trees are infected,

the branches that cannot be saved
are cut off and burnt up.

Are you saying
we should set the village on fire?

Yes, we must burn it down.

Then what about the people who live there?

Most of them are immigrants
of unknown ancestry anyway.

What if the plague does not end

even after you kill
innocent people with fire?

Grand Prince Seongnam
is too emotional, rather than rational.

People call this plague virusu.

It means the plague reaches them
like water drops in the fog by the wind.

They do not know how they were infected,
so they began to believe

they were infected by the wind, water,
and even invisible air.

Such false information
and ignorance about the plague

are what makes the people
frightened and anxious.

-The anxiety has grown
-This is where it began.

which caused the Hut Village Arson Case.

We will be infected
when the disease reach us by the wind.

I hear the disease from the hut village
will flow into the capital.

Once we burn them all,
virusu will be destroyed too.

-Come quickly.
-Hurry.

Oh, no.

-What happened?
-Oh, no.

-Fire!
-No!

-Help!
-Such anxiety and fear become hatred

-and the villagers face discrimination.
-There is a child in there.

Please help us.

I brought water!

-Thank you.
-Those who are unrelated to the plague

-She is from the hut village.
-also suffer from violence.

-You started the plague.
-Curse you!

-Die!
-It is your fault!

Their fear of this unknown disease

is the cause of such behavior.

It is important to stop the spread,
but we must know what the plague is.

I agree.

We must take this plague
as a dangerous opportunity

to prepare for the next.

Unless your plan is to burn the people
whenever a plague breaks out,

we must investigate how the disease spread
with medical support.

That is the only way
to stop this anxiety and chaos.

Your Majesty,
the second examination has just ended.

I see.

Grand Prince Seongnam must be tired.

Where is he right now?

Well…

I do not see him anywhere. He is not
in his quarters or the training site.

Perhaps…

he went to see his brothers.

Where did he go?

Where are these brats?

My brothers.

If you passed the first exam,
you would not have seen this.

I was disappointed that I failed,

but I feel much better now.

Then you can stay here.

Where are you going?

When a man comes out of the palace,

he should at least have
a touch of a woman.

Cho-wol! Open the door.

Please leave.

I promised your mother
that I would never see you again.

That is a promise you made to my mother.

Why should I keep that promise?

If you come for me again,
I will leave this place forever.

Cho-wol.

Young master, you shall stop.

You look cultured enough to understand,
yet you do not.

Who are you?

Cho-wol is my woman.

So you need to leave.

She does not want to see you.

Oh, my.

-She just slapped him.
-How dare you call me your woman?

Oh, my.

-Goodness.
-She slapped him again.

Why did you slap me again?

Consider that the price
for daring to put your hands on him.

Hyeolheogwol is not
such an ordinary disease.

If you failed to find someone,
give me my money, not an excuse.

What do you mean? I found someone.

I am just saying
it was really not easy to find him.

That is the balance I promised.

What about the physician?

I looked through the entire capital
and found just one person.

But you cannot meet him.

Only crows come and go
to nibble on dead bodies.

People cannot come out of there alive.

I know Seochon like the palm of my hand.

Just let me go in.

I will pay you more for the danger
and for your travel.

Goodness, good work, officers.

-What is it?
-Relief.

-At this hour?
-We are simply told what to do.

We do not have any choice.

Goodness.
You do not have to be so thorough.

Take that.

Let them in.

Leave the cart inside
and come out right away.

Yes, sire.

He is called Master Toji.

You can easily recognize him
by a scar on his chin.

Are you Master Toji?

Leave. I do not have any business
with those who are healthy.

Master, I heard you cured hyeolheogwol.

My brother is severely ill
with that disease.

Master, can you at least tell me
how to treat it?

Goodness, you are one noisy brat.

Is it bad? You should have brought him
on your back.

-Do not give him any cold water.
-Understood.

You are not the only one in a hurry.

Can you not see these urgent patients?

Stop distracting me and get lost.

Goodness. Wait.

How did you get in here?

You must be out of your mind.

Get out of here now unless
you want to die before your brother.

You lunatic.

Goodness gracious.

Here. What is wrong?

Is anyone… Goodness.

You, healthy man, come here.

Healthy man, you.
You are the only one. Come here.

Lift him.

He has not even eaten for three days.

-Bring me the acupuncture case.
-Pardon?

Bring my acupuncture needles.
Over there. Hurry.

Good.

-So how is he doing?
-Pardon?

Your brother. What is his condition?

No, do not bother.

If you came all the way here,

then I am sure he faints often.

Which medicine is he taking?

Doksamtang and gwibitang.

He gets acupuncture treatments too,
but he is not getting better.

I wrote down his symptoms and condition.

Open it.

Let me see.

Did you write this?

It looks like you have read
a few medical manuscripts.

Forget it. Put it away.

Has your brother ever lost a lot of blood
after getting hurt?

That has never happened.

But since he was a child,
it took a long time to stop his bleeding.

That symptom has worsened now.

Yet he is receiving
acupuncture treatment, correct?

Those cursed quacks.

Those so weak that they faint often
should never be treated with acupuncture.

Especially for someone like your brother
whose bleeding does not stop easily.

If he received something like phlebotomy,

then he would die.

Understand?

Then what should we do?

What do you mean?
Do not put needles on him.

Tell them to wait
until his acupuncture points are stable.

Try this and see how it goes.

You can find the herbs written there

at the dispensary near the end
of the market to your right.

It must be that place.

Let me tell you once again.

Your brother's condition can get better
just by ceasing acupuncture treatment.

Remember that.

Thank you.

Wait.

I took time out of my busy schedule
and wrote you a prescription.

But, "Thank you"?

No money?

Unbelievable.

How much do I owe you?

Yes, this is enough.

I need money to pay for the medicine.

-You cannot take it all.
-It is included.

Show them the prescription,

say Master Toji sent you,
and they will give it to you.

That is how things work here.
Do not worry. Go now.

Before you leave, disinfect your hands
with rice wine by the entrance.

Do not drink it. Wash your hands.

Hey.

I wonder how he will get out of here.

We do not sell these to just anyone.

Who sent you here?

Goodness, you are here.

Greetings.

-This way.
-We have it ready. This way, please.

Who sent you here again?

-Master Toji sent me here.
-Master Toji.

You owe me 15 nyang.

I already paid him for the medicine.

Goodness, he got you too.

You must pay the dispensary for medicine,
not the physician.

He said I would get the medicine here.

Yes, so give me 15 nyang.

-I do not have any money left.
-Then I cannot give you medicine.

You need to leave.

I will not leave
before I get the medicine.

I need that medicine right now.

Then bring money tomorrow
and take the medicine then.

It is not easy for me to come out.

I will come later and pay you,

so could you give me the medicine?

Do you know me?

How can I trust you and give you
the medicine without getting paid?

Then at least leave collateral.

I will leave the collateral for him.

Pardon?

If he pays you for the medicine,
return this knife to me.

If he does not, then sell it as you like.

It is made of silver,
so it should be worth a lot.

Are you two acquainted?

How do you trust this man?

He looks so desperate.

Thank you.

You can return and pay him back.

It used to belong to my mother,

so please return it to me.

I will pay it back myself
in ten days at this hour.

Now that you paid for the medicine,
let me see.

Since when was it your mother's?

Your mother is still alive and well.

I did not say she died.

I just said it belonged to her.

Also, if I want to catch a big fish,
I must use good bait.

But why did you go that far?

He was so handsome
that I wanted to meet him again.

Oh, my. That is so embarrassing.

Why should only men approach a woman?

Women can seize a man they like too.

Do you think he will meet with you?
He seems like a decent man.

You are already notorious
among matchmakers.

-What do they say?
-"Do not even consider

the eldest daughter
of the Minister of War."

But he does not know who I am.

Milk vetch root,

foxglove, white woodland peony…

Hey, Master Toji said he needs
more honeysuckle and weeping forsythia.

And it is urgent.

He must be short of herbs.

He probably has no idea that he paid
for the medicine of the hut villagers.

-Goodness.
-Goodness.

-Be punctual, will you?
-Let's go.

Very well.

-Why did you hit me more?
-You deserve it!

You should be setting
an example for your younger brothers,

but you took them out
and jumped over the palace wall?

You even took innocent Prince Simso too.

Was it not enough for you Grand Princes
to be known as mischief-makers?

-Please calm down.
-Calm down?

You have no idea how I feel. You brats.

The first exam was over.
We did not qualify for the second exam.

Do you still have no idea
how dangerous this was?

Think of the times.

Do you not remember
how the plague broke out?

Be grateful that you came back fine.
What if something happened out there?

How many people do you think
you would have cost for your debauchery?

I will never…

do that again.

Prince Simso, you may leave.

Be honest with your mother,
and say that Grand Prince Muan coaxed you

and ask for forgiveness.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Well, Your Majesty.

No one coaxed me into it.

I wanted to do it.

I made a decision on my own
for the first time in my life.

And…

it was also
the most entertaining day of my life.

If you enjoyed it, fine.

Then I shall
keep it a secret from your mother.

Do you mean that?

Go to bed early!

I cannot do this, Your Highness.

We should do anything to cure my brother.

But Your Highness,

I cannot treat His Royal Highness
with a remedy from a commoner.

But the usual treatment has not worked,
so we should take another measure.

What is going on?

Your Majesty.

My life is already in danger

as I treat His Royal Highness
without His Majesty knowing.

But if anything goes wrong after I use
a prescription and herbs from the outside,

I will be held responsible for it.

It is not that I do not trust
Physician Kwon.

This physician has cured hyeolheogwol.

So we should at least give this a try.

-We cannot.
-Mother!

It is as Physician Kwon said.
We cannot use herbs and a prescription

from the outside on the Crown Prince.

Then is there another way?

We have tried everything there is,
yet he is not getting better.

We still cannot.

I cannot use an unverified prescription
on the Crown Prince.

Then at least stop
the acupuncture for the time being.

The physician said leaving his
acupuncture points untouched will help.

Mother.

Please do as he says.

Please do so

even if it is for a few days.

I wish to stand up.

I wish to try what I can.

Physician Kwon.

Stop his acupuncture treatment
for a while.

-But Your Majesty…
-It is irrelevant to the prescription.

If this becomes a problem,

I will be responsible.

Let us count the ballots.

Prince Uiseong.

Prince Bogeom.

Grand Prince Seongnam.

This is the final ballot.

Prince Bogeom.

Four for Prince Bogeom.

Four for Prince Uiseong.
Three for Grand Prince Seongnam.

When the first and second exams are added,
the highest score belongs to…

Prince Bogeom is selected

as the cohort to the Crown Prince
at Sigangwon.

You said you would give your support
to Prince Uiseong.

I did exert my influence.

I told them to evaluate fairly

and choose the best,
most worthy one among them.

-Your Royal Highness.
-I could have given my support

to Prince Uiseong as you asked.

However, if he had
received all of the votes unfairly,

what do you think would have happened?

Even if Prince Uiseong
was selected as the cohort,

do you think His Majesty
would have accepted it?

Not a chance.

Through this cohort selection,
His Majesty realized

the sons of his concubines
are brighter than the Grand Princes.

And you realized
that you do not have enough power

to make a prince into a mere cohort.

I do not think

you came to see me
just to turn him into a mere cohort.

So stay calm
and wait for the right opportunity.

One does not wait
for the right opportunity, but creates it,

just as you did.

You are the one who taught me that,
so why do you say that?

Your Royal Highness,
Her Majesty is here to see you.

Let her in.

When it is based on their abilities,

the Grand Princes
cannot even be selected as a cohort.

If anything happens to the Crown Prince,

his position is no longer promised
to the Grand Princes.

Did you ask for me
to make sure I know that?

I asked for you to inquire
about the condition of the Crown Prince.

Has the Crown Prince gotten better?

If he has not, will anything change?

It should.

Many things will change.

Do you even hope…

for the Crown Prince to get better?

I truly wish

the Crown Prince would return
to his healthy self.

I mean this.

Is that truly how you feel?

How I feel is not important.

You just saw him.

The Chief State Councilor came to
my quarters over a cohort selection.

So what if people find out
that the Crown Prince is ill?

Do you think they will just sit around?

Therefore,

the Crown Prince
must be fully restored to health

until the day
of the Crown Princess' delivery.

If he is not,

then I will have no choice
but to take action

to maintain the stability of the throne.

For if I do not,
they will take action first.

Does she mean

she will depose the Crown Prince?

If people find out
about his critical condition,

then that is a possibility.

If His Royal Highness is deposed
due to his illness

-and none of the Grand Princes succeeds…
-Then…

we may all die.

So we have no other way.

We must show everyone

-that he is in good health.
-But Your Majesty,

the Crown Princess is due
in less than five days.

What should we do?

Send for Physician Kwon now.

Use the prescription and herbs
Grand Prince Seongnam brought.

If anything happens,

I will take responsibility
in my position as the Queen.

Your Highness, you are almost there.

Just a little more, Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness, push a bit harder.

You are almost done.

His Royal Highness probably came, right?

I am sure he ran over at once.

She was due prematurely,
so she made a fuss for a few days.

He must already be in there.

Oh, my.

The Crown Prince is not here, right?

The rumors about his condition
must be true.

I guess so.

Otherwise, why would he not show up

-to his princess' delivery?
-His Majesty the King has arrived.

You are all here.

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

My Queen,
has the Crown Prince not returned?

No, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince--

His skin condition must be grave

if he did not return to the palace
even when his child was born.

Or…

it must be impossible for him to return.

Crown Prince!

Have you been well, Your Majesty?

Yes.

When did you return?

I left upon hearing
the news of the Crown Princess,

but the journey was tough,
so I am a bit late.

Onyang must have been great.

It seems to me
that you have become even healthier.

Crown Prince.

The Crown Princess must be waiting.
You should go inside.

Your Majesty,
was I the only one who noticed it?

When His Royal Highness walked in,

your shoulders stood taller,

and the concubines dropped
their gazes and heads.

I also felt it.

I feel much more at ease

now that I see that
His Royal Highness has gotten better.

It is still too early to be relieved.

Your Majesty, he has not lost
consciousness for four days,

since he started
to receive that treatment.

His disease must be getting cured.

-Do you think so too?
-Yes.

The prescription
Grand Prince Seongnam brought

played a big role.

Court Lady Shin,
gather all the boys tonight.

Let us all eat together.

Yes, Your Majesty.

How is the preparation coming along?
What about hot pot rice?

Yes, my lady. We are almost done.

Very well.

This is the best dish
to restore your health and energy.

Make sure you eat everything.

Yes, Mother.

Do not just sit there. Eat up.

Brother, did you enjoy the hot spring?

Please take us with you next time.

I will.

Your firstborn wanted a sister.

He must be thrilled.

He is not the only one.

I am also glad to have my first daughter.

She is adorable.

Now, have some of this too.
This is your favorite.

Mother, are you playing favorites?

Right, you should eat some too.

I do not like bulgogi.

Right.

Then have some of this.

I do not like japchae either.

-Have some hot pot rice first.
-I do not like abalone either--

Just eat.

Okay, Brother.

Have some of this.

A big one for you.

Are you playing favorites?

I hear you went through a lot
to find the medicine.

It was much tougher
than whatever it is that you heard.

I cannot do that again.

So do not be ill again.

Do you know how tough it is
to lie around all day?

I cannot do that again either.

It is great to be out here.

Right.

There is something
I have been meaning to ask you.

When I first went to Seochon,
why did you not ask?

That is random. What do you mean?

You were surprised to know
you had an older brother,

yet you never asked me about our parents.

You were a young kid,
so I am sure you were dying to ask

about our mother's whereabouts.

When I lived in Seochon,

there was a woman who came
and cried once in a while.

At first, I thought she had a sad story.

But she just cried whenever she saw me.

Then how did you know
I was living in the hut village?

It was Mother.

She took me there.

She got caught crying
like a woman with a sad story,

so she must have sent me instead
because she was embarrassed.

Kang.

Now that I have overcome
a critical moment,

I want to live even more.

There are so many things I want to do.

You can do them all.

Yes, I shall do all of them.

Where are you going?

To see my daughter whom I already miss.

There are nine unchanging ethics
in this world

to govern the world and a kingdom.

Honoring the virtuous ones.

Respecting the noblemen
and embracing them.

Looking after the people
like they are one's own children.

Showing respect for the court officials.

Admiring those who are wise.

Crown Prince!

Crown Prince…

Crown Prince!

UNDER THE QUEEN'S UMBRELLA

Subtitle translation by: Eun-sook Yoon

What were you doing
while keeping all this from me?

Starting today, the Queen
will stay in her quarters.

Please, Your Majesty.
At least allow me to see the Crown Prince.

We cannot defer it any longer.

We must make the deposition public.

Would it not also be in the interest
of Her Royal Highness

to fairly select a wise Crown Prince?

No one can find out about

the prescription and medicine
brought from the outside.

It is clear my son was murdered.
