EPISODE 9

You're back.

How did it go?

Did everything go well?

You must be exhausted
from the long journey.

Come sit here. Let's eat something first.

Why did you send me there?

Because there is

something you must know.

For example,

the fact that I'm not Won-deuk?

Yes.

That's right.

You're not Won-deuk.

If I am not Won-deuk,

then who am I?

That's...

-That I don't know.
-Why lie to a complete stranger

that he is Won-deuk?

The Crown Prince had ordered
the unmarried to be wed,

but I didn't want to get married.

I resisted until I was dragged
to the office

where I was only given two choices.

I could either get flogged to death
or become Lord Park's concubine.

That is why...

I used you.

I just wanted to pretend...

I was getting married.

Then why tell me the truth...

that I'm actually not Won-deuk?

Do you no longer need me

now that the problem has been resolved?

You just wanted

to pretend we were married,

but this clueless man keeps insisting

that we should sleep together.

Does it make you uncomfortable?

If you'd like, you may go ahead
and cut the ribbon now.

Then,

we'll call it quits.

But you can stay here

until you regain your memory.

Since I wronged you,

I will do whatever

you ask of me.

What about my feelings?

What will you do about the way I feel?

-Won-deuk--
-Do not call me that anymore.

As you know,

I am not Won-deuk.

"Won-deuk"?

The name does not sound familiar at all.

Who are you?

I am...

What is my name again?

How foolish.

I do not even know who I am.

I refuse to do the things
that you force me to do

for I cannot accept that
I am indeed the man named Won-deuk.

But we locked our pinkies like this
when you promised me

that you'd make me happy.

You said you'd do anything for me
if I married you.

Why did I make such a promise to you?

Because

you love me.

May I open the door for a moment?

The physician?

He will be back tomorrow morning.

Thankfully,
his injuries aren't life-threatening.

Then why has he not regained
his consciousness yet?

We were told that it might take some time.

You had left the palace
to avoid misfortune,

but encountered greater dangers.

Was it you, Father?

Did you try to kill Mu-yeon?

If I did,

he would not be lying down
in the guesthouse now.

Then how come you are not doing anything?

You could summon the ministers

and cook up a ruse
to blame it on the Queen.

How would I explain who Mu-yeon is?

Shall I tell them

that the man who took the arrow
aimed at the Crown Princess

was an assassin who works for me?

Exposing this won't do us

any good.

I heard you were with Mu-yeon alone,

without Court Lady Kang.

As the Crown Princess of this kingdom,

you should not be seen with another man
outside the palace.

He went to so much trouble for me.

I thought I should repay him
to prevent future problems.

Go back and get some rest.

If you lose the child,

all of this will be in vain.

Hong-sim!

Where are you going so early?

-To gather some herbs.
-I see.

Go back in

and have this first.

Gu-dol gave me these.

You and Won-deuk should each have one
while they're still warm.

He's not Won-deuk anymore.

What do you mean?

I told him everything.

I told him

that he's not Won-deuk.

Why won't you listen to your father?

Did I not say we should give it some time?

So, what happened?

What did he say? What's he going to do?

He hasn't told me

what he plans to do.

You should've asked him about that first.

Now is not the time
to go looking for herbs.

My brother was here.

He asked me to leave with him right away,
but I asked him for a few days

because of Won-deuk.

I'll be leaving soon,
so, just keep that in mind.

I'll do my best to pay off Won-deuk's debt
before I leave.

I might stay in the mountains all day
until I find something valuable.

Right, Won-deuk.

Won-deuk!

Won-deuk.

That is not my name.

That is just a name you forced upon me.

You're right.

It was all me.

Hong-sim didn't do anything wrong.

It's all my fault.

I didn't mean to deceive you
from the start.

When I found you,

I just thought I needed to save you.

Where did you find me?

Must I report you to the county office
to make you talk?

This is the place.

While on duty,

I came here to relieve myself.

When I saw a hand covered in blood,
I almost had a heart attack.

All I could think
was that I needed to save you,

so, I took you to the hut
to get you treated.

Did you see anything around me
when you found me here?

Anything that might reveal my identity?

Clothes, for example.

Well, don't look

for such things.

I'd rather you didn't regain your memory.

You see,

you were supposed to be dead.

What does that mean?

I got chills down my spine when I saw you.

It seemed like someone
had deliberately tried to kill you.

I could tell that person wanted you dead.

Is that also how you ended up
taking in Hong-sim?

Because you got chills down your spine?

My parents were beaten to death

because of a false accusation

that they robbed the repository
at the county office.

Everyone in the village knew

that my parents didn't do it.

Hong-sim was in the same situation.

Her family was killed
due to a false allegation.

She, too, was supposed to die that day.

But I just couldn't leave

that innocent, little girl to die.

That's why I took her in.

I had the exact same feeling
when I saw you.

I thought,
"He'll die if I don't help him."

Let's say...

I'm a fugitive on the run.

Then what will you do?

I'm old enough to know a thing or two.

When you get to my age,

you naturally become
a good judge of character.

Also,

even if

you were guilty of treason
or breaking the ethical codes,

you're now living

as an ordinary man
who has nothing to do with that.

You know,

I just want you to live as Won-deuk

and as my son-in-law.

Can't we just keep things this way?

All right.

After all, life never...

goes the way you want it to.

I have to go back up for my duty.

Don't be...

too hard on Hong-sim while I'm gone.

She didn't do anything wrong.

Where are your new shoes?

What if I soil them?

Right.

They're so precious.

My gosh.

I think your father stayed over
at my place

to give you two some privacy.

So?

How did it go last night?

Don't even get me started.

It sure was quite a night.
I almost had a heart attack.

My gosh!

I was very concerned
when Won-deuk caused trouble

and got himself into debt,

so, I'm relieved.

Gosh.

Remember how everyone picked on us
for being spinsters?

Look at us. We're both married now.

This feels like a dream.

Are you...

happy that you're married now?

You didn't like Gu-dol.

You said he's too flippant.

He is,

but he's also sweet.

My late mother told me

that a kind, sweet man
makes the best husband.

What about Won-deuk?

He's dependable.

So much so that

I keep on wanting to lean on him,

even though I've been managing just fine
on my own so far.

The two of you can do it together
from now on.

Even his personality
is the opposite of Gu-dol's.

I just hope we can have babies soon.

You should have a son like Won-deuk.

I'll have a daughter like me so that

they can get married.

I'm not trying to say
that Won-deuk is better-looking than you.

Gosh, are you that offended
by what I said?

You said Won-deuk is dependable,
so I just thought

it'd be nice for you
to have a son like him.

That's all.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Kkeut-nyeo.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

You see,

I never thought I was unfortunate.

Everyone experiences hardships

and carries wounds and scars,

so, I didn't want to say

I had it harder or whine about

how my pain was greater.

But today,

I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself.

You must've been so distressed.

It's okay, though.

Everything will be okay.

And even if Won-deuk regains his memory,

I don't think he'll leave you.

Thanks, Kkeut-nyeo.

You've always been

like a sister to me.

What?

What's this about?

Will I never see you again?

Hey!

Kkeut-nyeo!

When you're down,
there's nothing like a dip in the water.

How is it? Nice and refreshing, right?

I've been too easy on you.

-Come here. Get down.
-What? Why?

Come here! Come on!

Hey, it's cold!

Lady Hong-sim.

You're even more beautiful
now that you're soaked.

Gosh, hey!

Lady Kkeut-nyeo!

I won't stop
even if you flatter me like that!

Isn't it refreshing?

Why are your clothes all soaked?

It looks like you took a dip somewhere
and had a blast.

Well, I just...

Not exactly.

But you were laughing.

After upsetting me like this,

you were there smiling and laughing.

Then what should I do?

Should I cry?

Will it change things?

It might have been better to see you cry.

You seem totally fine, and it bothers me.

Sit down.

I must check something.

Let me get changed first.

How dare you!

I told you to sit.

What is it

-that you need to check?
-I want to know...

how much of what you told me was a lie.

I saw you for the first time

at the county office.

Did we never meet

before that?

Right.

Never.

That was...

my first time seeing you.

Then,

from how I fell for you at first sight
and chased after you

to how I proposed to you
under the cherry blossoms,

everything was a lie?

-Yes.
-Then,

with whom do you share such memories?

Is it

the real Won-deuk?

No.

I just...

I just made it up.

Which parts were made up?

You'd better be more specific.

I'm sorry.

I wronged you.

I apologize.

An apology is not

what I'm after.

Then what? Shall I get down on my knees?

Shall I kneel before you
and beg for forgiveness?

Is that what you want?

No.

Then,

what do you want?

The mill.

What? Why...

"The mill"?

You said we spent a night together
at the mill.

Was that also made up?

Why are you

curious about that, of all things?

Because I'm jealous.

Answer my question.

I only heard about him from my father.

He said there's a man named Won-deuk
in the village up the river

and that he is diligent and hardworking.

My father asked me
if I wanted to marry him.

But he ended up enlisting in the military,
so, I never actually met him.

So,

you've heard about him,

but never met him in person?

Right.

It's good that you never met him.

The real Won-deuk,

he's no good.

Come on. You shouldn't judge people
by their appearance.

Looks aren't important.

The heart is what matters.

I don't care about looks at all.

Jeez.

-Is that so?
-Yes.

I...

I mean...

Well,

it's not the first thing I look for.

It doesn't mean that
I don't care about it at all.

Hurry inside and get changed first,

or you'll catch a cold.

Now, you're acting all nice?

About our marriage...

you started all this,

but I will be the one to end it.

And until I end it,

you are my wife,

and I am your husband.

Don't forget that.

Congratulations on your promotion,

but I'm surprised.

I didn't think you were the type
to curry favor with the powerful.

I must become one of them
to keep them in check.

It sounds like Cho Bu-yeong,
the former county governor,

collected a lot of kickbacks.

I hope you become

a good county governor
who looks after your people

and return as soon as possible.

Of course, he should return
as soon as possible.

There are so many fun things to do
here in Hanyang.

What would you even do in the boondocks?

Will you run around in the rice field
or what?

Why not?

I think it'll be fun.

Because the lady you fancy

lives in Songju?

What?

You two, what is going on?

Who is this lady in Songju?

Come on. Tell me.

Do you have a lady in every town or what?

Thank you for your help last time.

I handed over the letter right away
like you had told me to,

and nothing bad happened.

Although, that man tried to fondle me,

which upset me a little.

By the way,

if you're leaving tomorrow,

what will happen to our promise?

I shall keep it, of course.

Here.

But I said

I wanted to go see the flowers with you.

You are as beautiful as a flower.

Why would you need to see other flowers?

If, by any chance,

the First Vice-Premier stops by,

could you tell me who he was with

and what they discussed?

Spare me a moment.

They say that marriage

is one of the most important life events.

In fact, it is

the most significant event in one's life.

Since it can have such a profound impact
on your life,

you must decide wisely

and carefully.

You must be very careful.

Also, some people compare marriage
to crossing a river in the same boat.

It means that the husband and wife
sail through life together,

sharing good and bad times.

What's he saying?

What should be an important,
meaningful life event

has been ruined for me.

You used me.

Deceived by your lies,

I ended up marrying a complete stranger,
so, what should I do

with my life now?

I'm sorry.

I already apologized.

An apology is not enough.

It upsets me
and makes me feel terribly uneasy.

I sacrificed my precious self for you.

What have you done for me?

Look at this sleeve.

These messy stitches.

I saved your life.

How could you make me wear this?

So, what you're saying is,

you want

new clothes?

If you don't mind,

I'd like to tell you what else I want.

Can I?

No, don't.

I'll make you some new clothes, okay?

How dare you!

I am not done yet.

What?

-What now?
-As you know,

I am not Won-deuk.

Since the moment I first heard the name,

I've always felt
that it just didn't suit me.

However, I cannot remember my name
no matter how hard I rack my brains.

Hence, I need your help.

Look at me.

What do you think

my real name could be?

Do-do?

-What?
-As in "snooty."

You're always so snooty.

It doesn't sound like a real name.

Something else.

Lee... Hwang?

"Lee Hwang"?

That sounds like someone
who is already deceased.

But

for some reason, I get a feeling
that my surname is probably Lee.

What could my real name be?

I'll list some names that come to mind.
Write them down.

-Lee...
-"Lee...

Sa?

Sa"?

Sa...

Lee...

Lee... Sang.

-Lee Sang.
-"Sang"?

LEE SA, LEE SANG

Lee... Lee Saeng?

Lee... Lee Jeok.

Lee Jeok?

Lee...

Yun?

Lee Yun? Yes, Lee Yun.

What about Lee Yun?

I feel that...

We're in the same room together,

yet she can fall asleep?

If you're going to sleep, go to your room.

Why are you getting mad at me?

You must save his life

no matter what.

I will do my best,

but I cannot promise you anything.

Let me know
if he regains his consciousness.

Then I will return immediately.

Could they be

the same person?

I must find out who I really am.

Only then can I decide

if I can stay by your side

or if I must leave.

This is perfect.

Get going. Hurry.

Don't spill it on the way, though.

I don't think I can do it
because I sprained my ankle earlier.

Who said you could get hurt?

Your body belongs to the county office.

If this happens again,
I won't forgive you.

Understood, sir.

Damn it.

Who can fill in, then?

Right, bring Gu-dol. Go with him, okay?

And, you, watch your ankle.

Oh, dear.

Give me that.

What brings you here?

-I must view the records.
-"The records"?

You must have recorded every incident

that has taken place in Mt. Cheonu
and at the office.

Gosh, of course.

I record every single thing
that happens in Songju

from dawn to dusk, without exception.

I often stay up all night
to record every little incident.

From Yang-chun losing the ring

and those fights at Mi-geum's tavern
to the mill...

Hold on.

Why do you need it?

I must check something.

Goodness,
are you the county governor or what?

Why should I show it to you?

I won't take long.

See? This is why.

This is precisely why
I keep my distance from people.

Get a little close to them,
and they'll ask for all sorts of things.

Don't think I'm easy
because I threw a birthday party for you.

You see,

I keep personal matters
strictly separate from work.

So, just go home.

I'm on edge now because I must make sure
this gets transported safely.

Why aren't you leaving?

You said I'm in charge
now that the county governor is gone.

You said that yourself,
and yet you won't obey me?

Fine.

Hang on.

How does he know about those records?

The horse that your husband stole

was awarded to my late father
by the King himself.

Do you think I'll let him go unpunished?

I apologize.

You apologize?

I spent days looking for him,
thinking he was a nobleman.

But what? A commoner?

Goodness!

A mere commoner

pretends to be a nobleman
and steals a horse

on top of pretending to be
another woman's lover when he's married?

I will report him
to the county office now.

I'll find that horse for you.

So, please have mercy.

My servants searched the entire mountain,
but couldn't find it.

What makes you think
you can find the horse?

I can find it.

I will find the horse no matter what,
so, please forgive us.

Find it before the end of the day,

or you will be flogged.

Yes, of course. Understood, my lord.

Make way! Move aside!

Stop!

Stop, please!

Are you all right?

What? The horse...

Oh, no.

Why did you have to do that? Why?

Why jump on me
and make that horse run away again?

Well, you seemed to be in trouble,

so, I was just trying to help you.

Did I ask you for help?

I only asked you to move aside.

You're...

The lantern?

Do you recognize me?

What brings you here?

Well, what's your guess?

Perhaps my longing for you led me--

Are you out of your mind?

Just to see a woman
whom you've met only once?

No, twice. This is our third encounter.

Our fourth encounter will probably be--

That won't happen.
Return to Hanyang at once.

I cannot. I'll tell you why.

You see, I'm married.

What a way to reject a man.

I am telling you the truth.

So, don't get the wrong idea
and return to Hanyang.

I already told you that I cannot return.
I am...

the county governor.

I didn't ask for your name.
I'm not even curious.

No, my name is Jung Je-yun.

I am the new governor of Songju.

My apologies, Your Honor.

Please excuse me.
I must go find the horse.

I'm in trouble.

Thanks to the First Vice-Premier,

I may get married soon.

Who's in charge when there's no governor?

You, sir.

-Who?
-You, sir!

Correct. I am in charge.

Now, back to work!

-Back to work.
-Yes, sir.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Yes, what is it?

The new governor is on his way.

What? We have a new county governor?

And they didn't even give us a heads-up?

Hold on, what should we...

Sweep the yard first!

-Yes, sir.
-Sweep the yard.

Hurry!

Stop what you're doing
and sweep the yard first.

Might you be...

I am Jung Je-yun, the new county governor.

I am Park Bok-eun, a county clerk.

Had you sent word, we would've prepared
to greet you properly

instead of this.

I did not want to trouble the villagers

just to greet me.

They must be busy
tending to their crops now.

Nice to meet you.

My gosh, likewise.
I look forward to working with you.

County clerk, Park Bok-eun.

That wide face,

the flippant way of talking,

and those thick hands.

I must remember.

You must be exhausted
from the long journey.

Please go inside and get some rest.

That's okay.

Send a patrol and bring me the man
named Na Won-deuk

while I acquaint myself with the office.

-Won-deuk? What for?
-That's...

I will explain when he gets here.

Could you show me around?

Yes, of course. This way, please.

JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL

FEBRUARY

KEEP AN EYE ON WON-DEUK

"Provided the Royal Guards in Mt. Cheonu

with food and water"?

What's with this tense atmosphere?

So, those men

were the Royal Guards?

This way. No, it's this way.

Do you have no sense of direction?

That's not good.

Anyway, this is the archive
where all our records are kept.

I see.

I should organize those shelves.

What is the matter?

Nothing. Now, I know what's here,
so, let's move on.

Sure. It's that way.

Right, that way.

Yes, just retrace your steps.

You, there.

Why did you sneak into the archive?

You'd better turn around.

Well, about the...

What?

Why are you still here?

Actually, this is Na Won-deuk.
The man you asked for.

You shall go to the yard

and kneel down.

"You greatly contributed to exposing
the former county governor's

corrupt deeds.

To thank you for your commendable acts,

I hereby reward you
with four pil of silk."

I brought the generous reward given to you

by His Majesty, the King.

My gosh.

Won-deuk received a reward

from His Majesty?

Are you not delighted?

Not everyone has the honor
of receiving a reward from His Majesty.

I am delighted.

Hey, Won-deuk.

My gosh.

Is this the silk from the King?

My goodness.

Let's throw a party. Today.

Oh, right.

We can't.

I have to go to Hanyang,

so, just wait three days, okay?

Hanyang?

I have to deliver the fermented shrimp
to the palace,

but I really don't want to go.

My feet will be so sore.
It definitely won't be fun.

Two pil of dragon-embroidered silk
and two pil of sadan silk.

These are the finest-quality silk.

And since they're from the King,

you can price them
for however much you want.

We can sell these to pay off
what we owe Ma-chil.

However,

you will have to sell them

for I must go to Hanyang.

Hanyang?

Why all of a sudden?

To recover my lost memories.

I already have a lot to carry,

so, don't pack too many things.

But it'll be a long journey.

You'll get thirsty on the way,
and your shoes will wear out soon.

Here, take this, too.

I'll be back.

Okay.

Won-deuk!

Why turn around? You're not Won-deuk.

It bothers me that
I've gotten so used to that name.

I hope you can...

regain all your lost memories.

Yes, I must.

What is all this?

Isn't it silk?

Yes, the King sent them.

What do you mean?

Why would the King send us these?

One of the books people asked
Won-deuk to read

was Governor Cho's ledger.

-And?
-Won-deuk bought it off the person,

and I gave it
to the secret royal inspector.

That led to Governor Cho's arrest,

so, the King rewarded Won-deuk.

Oh, my!

I'm telling you, I knew

Won-deuk was a smart guy.

I totally knew it.
I'm such a good judge of character.

Let's sell these
and pay off our debt right away.

By the way, where's Won-deuk?

He went to Hanyang.

What?

He has to go to the palace.
While he's there,

he'll try to retrieve his lost memories.

But for some reason,

I don't think he'll come back.

Why did you let him leave?

You should've begged him not to leave.

How could I?

Good riddance.

With those, we can pay off our debt.

Then all our worries will be gone,

which means we can leave
with a light heart.

Hong-sim.

You like Won-deuk, don't you?

-No, I don't.
-You may be able to fool everyone else,

but not me.

All right. He couldn't have gone too far.

I'll go bring him back.

You can't change his fate, Father.

Besides...

he's not Won-deuk.

A retired assistant deputy minister
of Personnel resides in Songju.

His name is Park Seon-do.

You must earn his trust

before you can earn mine.

Well, I summoned all the villagers
to the office.

However, not everyone is here.

You summoned everyone,

but not everyone is here?

The new county governor would like
to introduce himself to you all.

Your Honor, please go ahead.

I am Jung...

I am Jung Je-yun.

-My gosh.
-He looks so young.

He's very young.

Yes, I know.

You must be very surprised
to see such a young county governor.

But do not be concerned.

I wasn't

born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

I was born to a concubine.

Why is he telling us this?

No idea.

I wanted to share it with you
to let you all know

that I am no different from you.

We are all equal.

And I have a lot of experience
with hard, laborious work,

so, I'd like all of you
to be comfortable around me.

From now on, we will keep our doors
wide open for all of you.

Visit us anytime

if you have any concerns.

Nothing good ever comes out
of long introductions and bragging spiels.

Hence, I will stop here.

You may leave now.

Where did he come from?

He seems very nice, don't you think?

Well, he is a fine-looking fellow.

I think Won-deuk is better-looking.

Gosh, come on.

You, there,

the lady named Yeon Hong-sim.

Spare me a moment.

Why did you want to speak with me
in private?

Are you truly married?

I clearly told you
even when I ran into you this morning.

Last time I saw you in Hanyang,

were you married then?

From what I remember,
you had your hair down.

That was before I got married.

That was less than two months ago,

and yet now, you're married?

I heard the Crown Prince
had issued a decree

for all spinsters and bachelors to be wed.

That's why I had to get married.

Are you saying

you were forced to get married?

Because of that decree?

Yes.

Well,

you could say that.

Why did you do that, Your Highness?

Look at that. Unbelievable.

He's already lusting after a woman.

A married woman.

He's no good.

Anyway, I see a tough road ahead.

None of the noblemen turned up

because they think he's a joke.

We're in Hanyang!

It's very different from Songju, isn't it?

There is so much to see.

I'm starving.

Can we stop for some rice soup?

Are you kidding me?

We'll get in deep trouble
if we don't get there by five o'clock.

We're delivering these

to the palace. Do you think it's a joke?

Isn't the palace still far away?

It's not that far from here.

Really?

But how do you know?

Isn't this your first time in Hanyang?

You may enter.

We brought fermented shrimp from Songju.

EIGHT JARS OF FERMENTED SHRIMP
FROM SONGJU

Bow your head.

You may enter.

That dog looks very...

very precious.

You have a good eye.

This breed used to be reserved
for the Ming imperial family.

It's a gift from someone
who visited Ming as an interpreter.

I see, Ming.

-Hi.
-How dare you.

Show respect.

Be courteous.

Hello, dear dog.

How do you do?

Though I had received word
from the First Vice-Premier,

I was not able to stop by
the county office due to an urgent matter.

It doesn't matter who greets whom first.

However, I wonder
what this urgent matter...

-could be.
-Well...

Though the drought has been in full force
across the country,

I wasn't concerned
for Songju seemed to have escaped it.

However, my well dried up a few days ago.

My shoulders are all tense
because of the stress from it.

Come on. Press down harder.

I will make

your shoulder pain go away.

-What are these for?
-No idea.

-What is going on?
-I wonder, too.

Quiet down!

The governor will now speak.

I asked you all to come here
because we desperately need your help.

Lord Park is having a difficult time
because his well has dried up.

I'd like to ask you to fill it up for him.

I heard that the nearest river
is the Neoreot River.

Fill up his well with the clean water
from the upper river.

That makes no sense.

Even if we keep pouring in
buckets of water, we can't fill up a well

that has dried up due to the drought.

There is this saying.

"A rope can saw through wood,

and dripping water can penetrate a rock."

So, I know that we can fill up the well.

Anything is possible
if you keep working at it,

so, we should at least give it a try.

I kindly ask you all to get moving.

He's worse than Governor Cho.

We're screwed.

We jumped out of the frying pan
into the fire. Darn it!

You always have to watch out
for those who look kind.

Who knows what he'll do to us?
Let's just do as he says.

-Gosh.
-Let's go.

This was made
with the finest-quality fresh shrimp.

Please don't reject it.

Doesn't it smell delicious?

My gosh.

That's heavy.

Do they hire court ladies based on looks?

Aren't they all so beautiful?

What? Where did he go?

-Anything to report?
-No, sir.

Identify yourself.

Let me go.

I must speak to the man
who passed through that gate just now.

I asked you to identify yourself.

I am...

He looks suspicious.

Let's take him.

No, wait! Please, no!

No, please don't!

Well,

we came to deliver some local delicacies.

He got lost because this is his first time
visiting the palace.

Please forgive him just this once.

You can't wander around inside the palace.

Leave at once.

I just need a minute.

Who was that man you two greeted just now?

Such insolence!

Gosh, I'm so sorry.

He's not all there.

Come on. What's with you, seriously?

I think I just saw someone I knew.

How would you know anyone at the palace?

Don't look back.

You'll lose your head
if you cause a scene here.

Don't cause a ruckus. Let's go.

Your Highness?

No, that can't be.

He passed away.

He looks so much like... Where did he go?

Oh, boy.

I was on pins and needles because of him.

Anyway, good work, everyone.

We'll rest up at the tavern

and leave tomorrow at dawn.

Can we have some rice soup
and stop by the market?

I want to buy a hairpin for Kkeut-nyeo.

Do you need anything, Won-deuk?

What? Do you want to go now?

Let's have some rice soup first.
I can't walk

because I'm starving.

-Gu-dol.
-Yes?

That gaze...

it's making me very uneasy.

Let's go.

MEET ME AT AERYEON PAVILION

Take me to Aeryeon Pavilion.

Yes, my lord.

We're turning around.

I've asked everyone to leave.

Please make yourself at home.

I wonder why the Queen's right-hand man
wanted to meet with me.

I'd rather be a dragon's tail
than a snake's head.

A dragon can soar into the sky at least.

Not everyone can get on the dragon's tail.

The Queen

is trying to devise a scheme.

This meeting could be
a part of that scheme.

I do not trust anyone easily.

A scandalous rumor
will start spreading soon.

That the Crown Prince is not

the father of the Crown Princess's child.

That is the rumor.

What do you say?

Can that get me

on the dragon's tail?

Should I tell Father?

No.

He'll just scold me for talking nonsense.

But still...

My gosh.

How are you feeling? Are you all right?

Yes.

Thank you for your concern.

Yes, you owe me.

I kept tossing and turning,
thinking that you might die.

That was commendable, though.

You took an arrow for So-hye.

Oh, boy.

Is something troubling you?

No, it's nothing.

Hey, when I was at the palace
earlier today,

I saw a man who looked
exactly like the Crown Prince.

I can't get it out of my head.

I guess he looked a lot like him.

Identical.

I thought the Crown Prince
had returned from the dead.

But that's impossible.

Of course, I know it's impossible.

I heard he's visiting
from the countryside.

But something just doesn't feel right.

I mean, how could he look
so much like the Crown Prince?

See you tomorrow.

Rest up.

Come and buy some books!

Books for sale!

Elementary Learning for kids!

Buy some books.

I've got steamy romance novels for adults.

I have some hot, new releases.

All right.

A story about the last spinster
and bachelor in town

who were forced to wed
by the Crown Prince's decree.

All right, books for sale. Books!

Elementary Learning for kids!
Steamy romance novels for adults!

I have some hot, new releases.

You must know

who I am.

Answer me.

Who am I?

The First Vice-Premier sent
a competent county governor this time.

Thank you for thinking highly of me.

Your Honor, could you please come with me?

Near my house, there is a spot
where water springs up.

If we dig a new well there,

we won't have to carry the water jars
back and forth.

First, I must check
if it really is the case.

Yes, of course.

We're here.

It's over there,
so, please see for yourself.

You mean, here?

Oh, no! My goodness.

We had dug a hole here
for a new well a while ago.

I guess we never filled it up.

You lured me here on purpose, didn't you?

To make me

fall into this hole.

Why would I lure you here on purpose?

Don't falsely accuse
an innocent, kind commoner.

Fine.

Since you are so innocent and kind,

just help me get out.

Sure thing.

What is this?

Keep digging, and you'll eventually

be able to walk out of the hole
on your own.

Are you kidding me?

You said a rope can saw through wood,

so I'm sure you can dig
with that puny stick.

"Anything is possible
if you keep working at it."

Didn't you say that yourself?

I'm sorry, okay?

I apologize, so, get me out of here.

Lady!

What am I supposed to do if you leave?

This is considered obstruction of justice!

Hey!

When I met you in Hanyang,

I thought you were a good person.

I was reunited with my brother
thanks to your lantern,

so, I sent you my best wishes from afar.

I'm disappointed in you.

However,

I don't want any more disappointments.

Then what about my disappointment?

How could Your Majesty

order us to spread
such preposterous rumors?

It will cost us our heads.

You should be grateful
that you haven't lost your head yet.

Do you think I wouldn't know
about your secret affair

with the royal guard?

You must be

very discreet about this.

-Understood.
-Understood.

Your Majesty.

The First Vice-Premier is here.

Get up. Quick.

What a surprise.

Who knew you'd ever visit my quarters?

The child the Crown Princess bears,

who is the father?

Why would you ask me?

Because Your Majesty

may know the answer.

Isn't it the Crown Prince's child?

Why ask such an absurd question?

I made you Queen...

because your natal chart indicated
that you would be childless.

However,

you produced a son.

Then I learned that you
and your father had deceived me,

but I chose to let it go...

because your father begged me in tears

and promised me

that you wouldn't do anything.

Are you

trying to threaten the Queen right now?

If I write your name here,

what do you think will happen?

So, please,

don't do anything.

Only then can you stay alive.

What a jerk.

He has such a kind face,

but he's a total jerk.

Gu-dol.

You're back.

You're already back from Hanyang?

I was dragged back out
as soon as I arrived

to carry the water jars.

Where's Won-deuk?

Won-deuk?

He didn't come back with me.

He said he had to check something
and told me to return first.

By the way, did something happen to him?

He didn't say a word on our way to Hanyang

and looked all serious.

Don't worry, though.

He'll find his way back.

I thought he had never been to Hanyang,

but he seemed to know his way around.

Anyway, I've got to go.

What is wrong with me?

It's a fake marriage after all.

And he's not even my real husband.

Why does my heart ache so much?

I didn't think you'd come back.

Did you retrieve...

your lost memories?

I didn't think you'd return

once you regained your memory.

I want to see you and touch you.

Can you close your eyes?

It's almost noon.
How could you sleep in until now?

Why are you staring at me?

You're handsome.

Then keep on staring.

I want the county governor
to stay away from my wife.

Are you jealous?

If I wish to win someone's heart,

I should be willing to take risks.

Where is my husband?
