EPISODE 14

Where did she go,
and why isn't she back yet?

This isn't good.

Won-deuk.

Oh, my goodness. Your Highness.

Please punish me with death.

I never thought that you could be
the Crown Prince.

Where is she?

Hong-sim.

Where is she now?

Oh, boy.

Please don't try to meet her. I beg you.

Hong-sim lost her father
during the insurrection.

He was falsely accused of treason
and was beheaded.

What's the point of meeting
a traitor's daughter?

Please.

Please,

abandon Hong-sim.

Please, Your Highness.

I must

see her right now.

I-seo.

So it is you,

Yoon I-seo.

Your Highness, how do you...

know that name?

It's me.

The idiot.

I couldn't even read
Elementary Learning back then.

This is the ribbon you tied around my arm.

What do you like better?
Snow or falling petals?

I like...

You.

I'm going to

marry you.

I finished Elementary Learning
in just ten days.

I'm proud of you.

Look at you, idiot. You came
all the way here to brag about it?

Stop this horrendous act!

I'm Lee Yul, the son of Prince Neungseon!

I can't believe...

you still have that.

It's because

I've missed you all my life.

You...

really are an idiot.

Yes.

I'm an idiot.

I didn't know you were alive and well.

You were right by my side,

but I failed to recognize you.

I learned all that just now.

Have you regained...

your memory?

No.

Just the memories of you.

We have to part like this now,

but I'll soon

come back for you.

Oh, boy. Your Excellency.

What's the matter?

Hong-sim stormed out of the house
after we had an argument.

And then, His Highness,
the Crown Prince, dropped by.

I have no clue how he knew we were here.

His Highness was here?

I nearly had a heart attack.

I don't know where Hong-sim went
and why she isn't back yet.

I've been frantic with worry.

Then we should look
for your daughter first.

But I'm not familiar
with the places in Hanyang.

I'll go out to look for her.

My goodness. Thank you.

Thank you.

Hong-sim!

Is everything...

okay?

Excuse me.

Come here.

Hurry up and follow me.

Come on.

We should pack and leave right now.

Let's go somewhere else
and look for your brother in hiding.

Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

His Highness, the Crown Prince,
came by while you were gone.

We'll be in trouble if he comes again.

Hurry up and pack your things.

Hurry up and pack.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'll just stay here
until I find my brother.

What on earth is on your mind?

Father.

Do you remember the idiot
I once told you about?

Thanks to him, my brother and I
were able to escape.

Yes, I remember. What about him?

That idiot is

Won-deuk.

What?

That idiot is

His Highness.

He had been

holding onto my ribbon all this time...

even when I had forgotten about it.

Goodness.

How could something like that happen?

Maybe we were destined
to meet each other again.

Hong-sim, you need to come to your senses.

The King branded your father a traitor
and killed him

in order to take the throne.

You could've been killed, too. That's why
you've lived in hiding all your life.

But it's not His Highness' fault
that it happened.

It was because of the grown-ups' greed.

But what difference does it make?

I know what you're trying to say.

But I'm still grateful to him.
I want to think of him as much as I want.

While we're in Hanyang,

I want to see him if I can.

It's not a sin to hold him in my heart,
is it?

It's not like I'm doing this
because I hate Won-deuk.

I wouldn't be doing this
if he were some nobleman.

But he's the Crown Prince.
His father is the King.

I'm not saying this for any other reason.

It's because I'm worried about you.

I'm more worried...

about him in the palace than myself.

Everything that has happened
is so strange.

His Excellency, the First Vice-Premier,
has ordered me

to keep a close eye on you
and give him detailed reports.

Did he do the same
with my bodyguards and maids?

Yes.

Those who are supposed to serve me

are not on my side?

While pretending to serve me,

you've been spying on me?

His Excellency is more concerned
about your safety than anyone else.

He's worried that you'll fall
into danger--

I doubt it.

You tried to get rid of my things
when they were still here.

That has nothing to do with my safety.

What's your real motive?

What exactly were his orders?

I can't tell you that.

As a eunuch, your duty is

to serve me and my father.

You're paid a salary
with the people's tax money

to do that.

And yet,

I'm not the one you serve?

That's treason.

His Excellency hopes that
you'll never regain your memory.

I had no other choice

because my family's lives
were in his hands.

Please kill me.

I'd rather die by your hand.

If His Excellency finds out
that I got caught,

he'll kill me and my family

anyway.

You do your work.

I'll do mine.

Sheathe the sword.

It's not that you're forgiven.

You're dismissed.

You shouldn't keep him by your side.

I can't make people die because of this.

Your Highness.

The palace is...

a very lonely place.

Do you remember when we came here?

It was snowing then.

I'm still waiting for your answer.

By any chance,
is the child you're carrying...

That's right.

Then can you take me away with you?

You haven't changed at all.

Don't worry.

This child isn't yours.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

What if your elders
should find out about this?

I'm carrying a child.

What can they do? Kill me?

I'm not afraid of being confined
in my quarters.

The palace is

a prison to me anyway.

I purposely put your palanquin
far from here.

You have to walk quite a bit.

I'll assist His Highness tonight.

I need to have a word with him urgently,
so please leave us alone.

Okay.

Excuse me.

From this moment on,
I'll drink the herbal medicine.

Why is Lord Kim trying to stop me
from regaining my memory?

What could it be that I have forgotten?

The reason I couldn't take you away was

because that was

what I could do for you.

If you come with me,
your family will be ruined.

Even if that happens, will you still not

regret choosing me?

I'll do as you wish.

I'll take you away whenever you want.

Tell me after you make up your mind.

Mu-yeon.

Yes, my lord?

Why did you not...

kill the Crown Prince?

Are you

going to behead me?

Of course not.

It would've been better if you had told me
that the Crown Prince had lost his memory.

Then there wouldn't have been
a need for me to worry

while holding a fake funeral.

But thanks to you, I was able
to bring him back and save my neck.

That's a great relief.

I'm sure you didn't bring me here
to praise me for that.

There is

one last thing I want you to do
for the Crown Princess.

You may have

already guessed it.

The child So-hye is carrying

is not the Crown Prince's.

I want you

to find the child's father...

and kill him.

You can do that

for So-hye, can't you?

You scoundrel!

-Father!
-No!

-Father!
-We must go!

-Seok-ha!
-No!

-Father!
-No!

Father!

-I-seo, no!
-Father!

We must go!

Have a good cry.

Today is the last day...

you'll be able to do so.

Please give my regards to Kkeut-nyeo.

I'm sure she's very worried about me.

And please,

let Yang-chun know

that I'm alive and well.

Yang-chun?

Well...

I'm just asking him to do it
since he's going to give

our regards to our neighbors anyway.

I'm not saying he must.

I understand.

Don't worry.

I'll inform everyone
that you two are fine.

Thank you so much.

I was able

to get reunited with Hong-sim,

and we're staying safe in Hanyang,

all thanks to you, Your Excellency.

We have nothing to give you

to repay your kindness.

It's okay.

No need to bow outside...

That's a little too much.

I'll accept just this much.

Sure.

You should leave

before the sun sets.

May I confirm something real quick?

If you

have to leave in a hurry,

please make a note of your destination

and leave it under my desk.

Will you promise me that?

Yes, I'll do so.

I can see that's not a lie.

Then, I'll get going.

Please take care of yourselves.

Je-yun.

What brings you here?

His Highness wants to see you.

-Now?
-Yes.

Hurry up and go.

He's asking for you at an early hour,
so it must be urgent.

I heard you asked for me.

I was first.

You came into the picture after me.

I remembered something last night.

I met her

before you did.

I'm certain beyond the shadow of a doubt

since it was a long time ago.

That's so unfortunate.

It's unfortunate
that you lost your memory.

And you remembered someone dear
after all this time.

That's unfortunate as well.

By the way, did you ask for me

to tell me this?

Of course not.

Whose side are you on?

Without context,
I have no idea what you mean.

I heard Lord Kim is the one
who recommended you for that position.

Are you on his side then?

Or since you're Jung Sa-yeop's
half brother,

are you on the Queen's side?

I see that you still don't remember me.

From the beginning,

I wanted to work for you.

How can I believe that?

What is it that you're trying to do?

Why don't you test me with that

to see whether I'm your man

or not?

What brings you...

here to Hanyang?

I'm here

to ask for your permission.

What do you need my permission for?

His Highness, the Crown Prince,

offered me

the position of lecturer
at the Royal Academy.

Lecturers at the Royal Academy

serve the Crown Prince
from the nearest place.

He offered such an important position

to the Governor of Songju

of all people?

He said everyone in the palace
seemed unfamiliar.

He thinks we first met in Songju,

so he must feel comfortable around me.

Refuse the offer.

If he needs a lecturer,

-I'll recommend someone else.
-His Highness...

has started to doubt you, Your Excellency.

He doesn't trust those

assigned by you either.

Even so, it can't be helped.

I'll handle this matter,

so go back

to Songju.

Yes, I will do so.

If I were you,

I would choose to side
with the Crown Prince.

He's the one who will be the King.

But you're the one...

who will control that king.

Growing up as a concubine's son,
I've become quick-witted.

I, at least, know that.

You're more loose-tongued than I thought.

And you'll find me

to be smarter than I look.

I'll trust you then.

Serve the Crown Prince.

Don't let him out of your sight
even for a brief moment.

Watch his every movement

and report every detail.

Of course, I will.

I can't do this anymore!

This is just insane!

If a man sweats this much,

he's bound to die!

Goodness.

Prepare 10,000 pieces of split firewood
during the dog days of summer?

What is he up to?

Something is not right.

This won't do.

I've got to go to Hanyang.

I'll go see His Highness,
the Crown Prince, and talk to him.

Yes. That's a good idea.

Let's go see him

and tell him about what hardships
ordinary people like us suffer.

I knew you'd be slacking off.

Get back to work now!

But, sir. Don't you think this is unfair?

Why do we have to obey Lord Park
when he's not even the county governor?

Do you think this is about Lord Park?

The First Vice-Premier is behind him.

Who's the First Vice-Premier?

He's the heavyweight,
who is more powerful than the King.

Who knows what will happen
if we disobey him?

Get back to work
if you don't want to be flogged.

I feel bad about this, too.

Gosh.

Darn it.

This is driving me crazy!

Why do they always threaten to flog us?

I'm disgusted by this!

But

I'll work harder than anyone else.

Darn it.

My mother used to say I would always
do things I'm told not to do.

She was right.

What do you mean?

Hearing that makes me want to go

to Hanyang more.

Are you saying
the firewood isn't ready yet?

Well, it's not easy

to find dry firewood
during the rainy season,

as well as people to chop it
during the busy farming season.

I'll give you three days.

Three...

Unbelievable.

How can we prepare 10,000 pieces
in just three days?

You know what?

You've been holding that post
for too long.

It's time for you to step down.

Don't you think?

You're given three days.

Sell your soul if needed.

And make sure to bring me that firewood!

Yes, my lord.

Yes, yes.

Hey, hey. Hey!

Fine.

I guess it's time to resign
from this post.

His Highness told me

to take the technician exam.

Goodness. This darn governor must've
hidden a honey jar in Hanyang.

He still isn't back yet.

Fine.

Then I guess I should go bring him back.

I'll soon

come back for you.

ON THE SUMMER NIGHT

What is this?

It's to find my brother.

Will it be okay to post this up?

What if someone recognizes you?

This is like a secret code
that only my brother and I know.

Even if people read it,
they won't know what this means.

Give up on the Crown Princess.

Please.

Take your sister
and leave this place right now.

I'll have to think about what I should do.

There's still time.

I'm sure Master knows everything.
This is a trap set by him.

In the end,

he'll kill you.

I need to buy some time.

I'll find someone he'd suspect
as the father of the child.

Do you think...

he'll buy it?

I'll do whatever I can

because there's someone I have to protect
at the risk of my life.

I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU ON MOJEON BRIDGE

Even if the full moon doesn't rise
on the summer night,

I'll be waiting for you on Mojeon Bridge
in the hopes of seeing you.

If you divide this up,
you get the letters for "foot"

and "heavy."

So I looked for a place
that would make you heavy-footed.

Whenever spring came,

you always stop in front of a cherry tree
near the pavilions.

It was Her Highness, the Crown Princess,
who gave the orders

to have them cut down.

That led me to think that your riddle

was pointing at something
that has to do with Her Highness,

so I sneaked into Gyoyeon Palace.

And there was

an evil talisman
placed by Her Majesty, the Queen.

"If something bad happens to me,

know that the Queen is behind it."

Maybe that's what you were trying
to tell me.

Is my guess...

right?

I don't know.

What happened to the smart Crown Prince
I once knew?

Are you suggesting that I'm not smart now?

To be honest,

I can't say that you are.

This won't do.

I'd better check your condition.

THE PEOPLE, TEN THOUSAND, DESIRE

What letter would be appropriate
in the blank space?

Any character with three squares
would be appropriate.

I had written down the letter

for "net."

What letter...

would you write down?

You approached the question
with a shallow wit.

If I were you, I'd write down

the letter for "impregnate."

TO IMPREGNATE

That means the people have 10,000 desires.

Oh, I'm relieved.

You're still smart.

Am I the only one feeling uneasy?

I feel very uneasy now.

Yes, you're the only one feeling uneasy.

I don't feel uneasy at all.

Let's go back to the letter for "foot."

What did you intend to do

when you left me this letter?

I don't know.

This won't do.

Forget about the riddle.

Instead,

let's go somewhere in disguise.

In disguise?

Lord Kim's men must be following us.

Major Kwon will take care of it.

This is the Crown Prince.

It's an honor to meet you.

You're all grown up,
so I didn't recognize you.

I'm Kang Do-chul,
a former royal physician.

Why did you bring me here?

There's someone you must meet.

Though he's conscious,

he's still delirious

and unable to speak.

Don't you remember him?

He served you for over ten years.

That's Eunuch Yang.

I'm the only person he has seen
for over two months.

What happened to him?

He didn't go to the ritual,
so his motives were suspected.

And he was imprisoned.

He must've felt wronged.

I heard he slit his own throat.

I'm the one to blame for all this.

What's so important about this position?

Is there anything you want to say to me?

Now that I see you're alive and well,

I can die without regrets.

I didn't try to kill myself.

The one who tried to kill me is...

the First Vice-Premier.

The First Vice-Premier?

Why would he do that?

I told him

that the body he had brought back
didn't seem to be yours.

Did he try to cover up that incident,
by any chance?

What happened

before I left for the rain ritual?

Find your diary.

My diary?

Seok-ha.

Why won't you listen to me?

What about you?
Why won't you listen to me?

Why did you come to Hanyang
without a word?

I prepared a house at the foot
of Mount Danae in Bongrae, Deungji.

I put a map in your bag.

Wait for me there.

I'll join you soon.

No.

I don't believe you.

It was the same that day.

You promised to meet me on Mojeon Bridge
if we were separated,

but you never came.

Can you please tell me the truth
about what happened?

It's not that I didn't want to see you.

It was

to protect you.

Not meeting you was...

the only way to protect you.

Please listen to me.

I beg you.

Okay.

I'll leave.

I'll listen to you.

Please take care.

I can't remember anything,

so I'm frustrated.

All you need to do now is find your diary.

But I don't remember where I put it.

In fact, I don't even remember
keeping a diary.

Maybe,

the riddle that you gave me is

about the place you had hidden your diary.

"All the secrets are in my diary,

so read it if something
should happen to me"?

Yes.

What's wrong?

I am afraid of the secret
I will have to face,

as well as of...

what I will end up doing.

That man

is holding a sword.

I see red blood dripping
from his terrifying sword.

Who are you? Why are you following him?

I asked why you were following that man.

Goodness.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

What do you mean, I was following someone?

I was on my way home.

Why are you doing this? Let go of me.

You shouldn't get yourself involved
in this.

Who are you?

What are you doing to that lady?

If you don't want to get hurt,
just continue on your way.

But I'm too righteous to walk away.

You're a nobleman
who just digs into books.

I guess you have no idea what's going on.

I'm more impatient

and vicious than this nobleman.

And he's exceptionally skilled
in martial arts.

Are you okay?

Yes. It wasn't a big deal.

She says it wasn't a big deal.

You went too far.

To me, it was.

You could've just left it to me.

What if you had gotten yourself hurt?

If I had watched any longer,
I may have had to save both of you.

I'll return to the palace alone,
so you may go home.

I can't do that.

I'm worried because you're out here
in disguise without a bodyguard.

I'm the one who gives orders.

Have you forgotten who I am?

It's dangerous at night.

Why are you out here all alone?

I came out to find my brother.

I'll find

your brother, so...

Are you showing off
that you're the Crown Prince?

You shouldn't arrogate power to yourself.

Oh, right.

Come to think of it,

you used to misuse your power.

I knew it when you gave
that ridiculous order

to all spinsters and bachelors
to get married.

How dare you talk to your husband
like that?

Would you mind letting go of my hand now?

Do you not like holding hands

with me?

No.

If we keep on walking
side by side like this,

when will I ever get to see your face?

Well, it's not easy for a Crown Prince

to walk around alone outside the palace.

This is a rare opportunity,

so enjoy looking at me.

Yes, I'll do that.

There must be a lot of delicious food
in the palace.

Why has your face grown more gaunt

than when you were in Songju?

Because

you're not there.

Goodness.

Why are you back so late, Your Excellency?

If you're worried about your daughter,
there's no need to be.

She's with someone reliable.

No, it's not about that.

Over there...

You really disappointed me.

You're in Hanyang,
but you didn't even let me know.

It's sad to love someone
who doesn't return your affection.

Do you understand how I feel now?

I do. Very well.

The two of them must be

a match made in heaven.

Isn't it boring to surrender yourself
to destiny?

Life

only gets interesting
when you go against it.

What's the point of holding
His Highness' woman in your heart?

I'm sure he can't help it, either.

My lord.

Will you ruin everything
because of your feelings for her?

I don't know.

Loyalty.

Or love.

Which should I choose to have no regrets?

I've seen you enough,

so I'll let you go now.

Please return to the palace.

I don't want to.

I'll escort you to the palace gate.

Then we can stay together
a little bit longer.

Let's go.

If I do this, we can look at each other
a little longer as well.

We have to go the other way.

GATE OF PERFECT LOVE

I've heard the rumor, too.

They say lovers who pass through that gate

will never be apart.

Are you suggesting

that's why we shouldn't go through
that gate together?

Yes.

I've loved you

from the very first moment
I laid my eyes on you.

I loved you

when you were 20, even though we were

not together.

And...

you'll have my heart

for the rest of your life.

You can cherish

the memory of this evening, but no more.

I'll cherish the memory

of this moment as well.

-So, Your Highness...
-The man standing before you now

is not the Crown Prince.

It's Won-deuk.

GEUNJEONG HALL

PERSONNEL TRANSFER

You want to appoint

Jung Je-yun as a lecturer
of the Royal Academy?

The post of Governor of Songju
will fall vacant,

but I'll find someone to fill that up.

You'll appoint him as a lecturer

and find a replacement for him as well?

Songju is where I stayed
when I was in a life-or-death situation.

The people there were naive

and warm-hearted.

If another new governor comes,
they'll be apprehensive.

So I'll find the right man
for the position.

But I don't like this man.

I remember this name.

Lord Kim is the one who recommended him
for the post of county governor.

You're trying to work
with one of his men--

I just

want to know the truth.

There's a problem I need to solve.

It's about who tried to kill me

and why it was covered up.

I'll find out the truth by all means.

For that reason, I need him.

Then I'm more convinced
that it mustn't be Lord Kim's man.

Are you afraid that the Queen and Seowon

might be who's behind this?

If you want to cover up the truth,

I'll do so.

But

it's not right to cover up the truth...

as the King of this country.

His Highness has started to carry out
his plans in secret.

He's planning to find his diary.

His diary?

He said he wrote in his diary
every single day.

He recorded everything
that happened to him in detail.

If he finds that diary,

he'll regain all his lost memories.

Make sure the Crown Prince doesn't get it.

What's the secret

that mustn't be revealed?

Why do you think

it's called a secret?

I'll call out all the eunuchs
and tell them to find that diary.

His Highness is exceptionally
quick-witted.

If you rush into it,

he'll find out about your plans.

Please leave it to me.

In the end, you'll be the one

who gets the diary.

I'll be in my office.

Report to me regularly.

Maybe the diary is hidden

in Gyoyeon Palace.

When I gave you the riddle
about the people's desires,

you solved it by counting the squares.

It seems

that I set the question
according to your level.

I gave you a question
that suited your level,

but you solved it at my level.

So the answer isn't Gyoyeon Palace.

Then,

let's find a place with five squares.

Should I check the names of the chambers

to see if there's a letter
that contains five squares?

No.

The answer is gates.

The diary must be hidden in a chamber

that can be reached
by passing through five gates,

starting from my quarters.

When I go through five gates
starting from your quarters, I reach...

a total of four chambers.

Scripture Archive, Guhyeon Palace,

the library, and the repository.

THE ANALECTS OF CONFUCIUS

THE ANALECTS OF CONFUCIUS

ADDENDUM TO CHU CI

You scoundrel!

What's keeping you so busy, Your Highness?

I'm looking around the palace to see

if anything would help me
regain my memory.

So,

did you remember anything?

If I had, I would've informed you.

You'll regain your memory
in due time, so...

I'm getting impatient.

I almost made a mistake
at the welcome banquet for the envoys.

I'll give orders for your herbal medicine
to be prepared

with extra care.

Since you're showing so much concern
for me like this,

I'll try to regain my memory
as soon as possible.

You will, eventually.

Are you in your right mind?

You wanted to see me, so I came.

But you shouldn't be so reckless
like this.

You need to give Her Highness
some time to think.

Something urgent came up.

Please hand her this.

It seems that Master knows.

I'm trying to buy time,
but I won't be able to hold out long.

I'll be waiting for you at the pavilion
next to Donui Gate in three days.

Empty her quarters.

What brings you here?

I suddenly felt sorry

for the recently deceased eldest son
of the Advisory Office's chief scholar.

I told you to kill the father
of the child,

but you killed

an innocent man.

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Do you mind

if I read that letter?

Mu-yeon is with me now.

I thought he had left already.

You spent a quarter of a day with him,

and you didn't know?

Did you have someone follow me?

You impudent brat.

I'd rather

that you play around with some thug
from the streets.

Why did it have to be...

Mu-yeon?

Not Mu-yeon,

please.

If you want to save his life,

don't think of running away.

No matter what happens,

you must become the Queen of this country.

So,

capture the Crown Prince's heart.

-Father.
-I'm about to proceed with an uprising

that I've planned for over ten years,

so don't annoy me anymore.

If you

ever get in my way,

I'll kill...

not only Mu-yeon,

but also the child in your womb.

Love is

just an illusion.

What's the point of having something
that will fade in time?

Don't forget

that my blood...

runs through your veins.

I hate you so much.

Why are you living like this?

Why do you have to do this?

You rose to a high post
after the insurrection.

Isn't that enough?

What more do you want?

How far are you going to go
before you stop?

Have you ever

eaten a rat because you were starving?

Have you ever eaten rotten food

and hovered between life and death?

Have you ever buried your parents

who were beaten to death

in a rugged, barren ground?

I don't know...

what I should eat

or have

to fill this emptiness.

I really hate...

that I'm your daughter.

My son is a failure,

so you're the only one I can count on.

I don't want

to end up losing you,

so please,

get your head on straight.

Hanyang is surely different.

I'm supposed to look at the road ahead,
but I can't stop looking around.

You should care more about your nose
than your eyes.

They say your nose

will be stolen before you even realize it.

We took the plunge and came here,
but will Won-deuk...

I mean, will His Highness,
the Crown Prince, meet people like us?

He will if he learns that Seo Gu-dol
from Songju is here.

Won-deuk is a nice person.

Not only was he nice,

but he was a looker.

You're making me upset.

Good looks don't feed you!

Gosh. Are we still far from the palace?

My feet hurt so bad.

Get on my back.

What's the matter with you?

My wife says her feet hurt.

I can't stand by and watch.
Get on my back.

Oh, my back hurts!

Are you pregnant by any chance?

You're quite heavy.

For goodness' sake!

What?

Darn it.

Goodness.

Does it hurt?

Why did you offer to carry me
on your back?

Hurry up.

Kkeut-nyeo.

We have to spend a night here.

Mi-geum's tavern is no match for this.

Isn't it great?

That mug is great, too.

What the heck?

What?

It's him.

Come on. Raise your head.

Raise your head!

After telling us not to come to Hanyang,

you came here alone to meet His Highness?

No, no!

I came here to find our county governor.

He keeps neglecting his duties
and never comes back,

so I came to take him back.

Besides,

I have to report that we'll be harassed

if we fail to get
10,000 pieces of firewood.

-Goodness.
-Oh...

No need to stay in this tavern then.

His Excellency's place must be very big.

We could stay there.

But will he let us stay there?

Why wouldn't he?

We're from Songju,
and he's our county governor.

It's his duty to look after his people.

Kkeut-nyeo, you're so smart.

Where's his place?

If I knew that,
why would I be eating here?

I'm having a meal to regain my strength.

After I'm done, I'll ask around.

Sit.

Well, Hong-sim.

Can't we just

live in Hanyang even after
we find your brother?

What are you saying all of a sudden?

No matter which way I look at it,

I think you and His Highness
are meant to be together.

His love for you is so noble and pure.
That's rare.

It's not easy for someone

to stay in love with a girl he met
in his childhood.

Besides, when I found Won-deuk
in Mount Cheonu,

I didn't know he was the Crown Prince.

Even if it's meant to be, what can we do?

Should I ask him to run away with me
instead of being a Crown Prince?

No.

That's not going to be possible.

But it's heartbreaking

to see you two stay apart like this.

We are

not staying apart.

What?

Our souls are together.

Oh...

That's what you mean.

Is anyone here?

What?

Isn't this the county governor's place?

Hong-sim!

Kkeut-nyeo!

Why are you guys here?

What happened?

What brings you here?

REPOSITORY, LIBRARY, GUHYEON PALACE,
SCRIPTURE ARCHIVE

None of them were right.

Do you think our guess was wrong?

Go talk to Eunuch Yang again.

I need to check something.

What was the title of His Highness' diary?

Try to remember.

SILENCE

The title of His Highness' diary is...

SILENCE

It's Silence.

One must pass through
a total of five gates

to find the diary.

There's one square in Silence,
the title of the diary.

That reduces the number of gates

to four.

The diary is here

in Myeongyeon Library.

CLASSICS

COLLECTED WORKS

ADDENDUM TO CHU CI

SILENCE

His Highness' diary has been found.

-Where is it?
-They headed to Myeongyeon Library.

No one must read that diary.

Your Excellency.

What is it?

A fire broke out
at the Crown Prince's library.

Fire!

-Fire!
-Fire!

-Put out the fire!
-Pour the water here!

-Hurry!
-Hurry up and put out the fire!

What happened?

The situation was urgent,
so I had no other choice.

The diary

-is now gone forever.
-Did you...

read it?

The title was Silence.

The letters for "close" and "mouth."
That means, "keep your mouth shut."

I was afraid that I might not survive
if I read it,

so I didn't.

These melons are from Hanyang,
so they're very sweet.

I know.

The moon seems brighter, too,
now that we're in Hanyang.

Geez, you're exaggerating a lot
now that you're in Hanyang.

By the way, what happened?

I never imagined that you'd be
at the county governor's place.

Well...

It's a long story.

It's obvious that His Highness
invited her.

You're so slow-witted.

What if he makes Hong-sim his concubine?

Geez.

By the way, what brings all of you
to Hanyang?

Don't even get me started on that.
Darn it.

Lord Park was nagging us to prepare
10,000 pieces of firewood,

but the county governor was absent.

We're here to meet
His Highness, the Crown Prince,

and he's here to take
the county governor back.

I hear he's not a county governor anymore.

He's been appointed to some post
that serves His Highness.

What are you saying?

I didn't know he was such
a shallow person.

Did he kiss up to His Highness
to get that position?

Goodness.

-Gosh, I'm so jealous!
-What's going on?

Are you okay?

Don't help him!

I heard a fire broke out
at Myeongyeon Library.

Did you

set it on fire?

His Highness was looking for his diary.

It probably

contained our secret.

But it's been burned to ashes,

so don't worry.

Go to His Highness' quarters
and spend a night there.

He may be a cold-hearted man,

but the child

will melt his heart.

You must keep your promise.

Of course, I will.

Who are you?

I'm sorry.

I must've come to the wrong place.

Oh...

Didn't I see you with Je-yun
the other day?

Well...

Oh, yes.

Right. It's you.

By the way, where are you headed?

I was about to go out.
Should I show you the way?

Thank you for your kind offer of help.

By the way,

your house is very nice.

Do you mind

if I ask you who your father is?

You'll be surprised.

I am

Kim Su-ji, the son of Kim Cha-eon,
the First Vice-Premier.

Kim Cha-eon,

the First Vice-Premier.

You scoundrel!

The man who stabbed our father
in the heart.

Kim Cha-eon.

Father.

Didn't Lord Kim suspect anything?

I don't think he did.

I searched throughout the library
before I set it on fire,

but the diary for March wasn't there.

That's because we didn't solve
the riddle properly.

We need to combine the letter for "heel"

and the letter for "cherry tree,"
which was on my seal,

in order to find the answer.

Then,

starting from Myeongyeon Library,

one has to pass through six gates.

It's this place.

You said I cherished the cherry tree,

so this must be it.

I'm sure I used the tree that was cut down
by the Crown Princess to make this chest.

SILENCE

I feel better now that I'm not taking
the herbal medicine anymore.

I suspected it was the herbal medicine
that caused the sharp pain in my chest,

and I wasn't wrong.

There's no one I can trust in this palace.

Nothing is wrong with the medicine.

But if I take it with one
of my favorite snacks...

It can be poisonous to your body.

It's clear that someone has tried
to poison you.

Someone is trying to kill me.

But who could it be?

I held a banquet to catch the culprit.

Kim Cha-eon was behind the murder
of the female physician.

I'm sure he did it to cover up

his attempts to poison me.

But why

is he trying to kill me?

I've finally found out the truth,

but there's nothing I can do about it.

It makes me feel so miserable.

Is there anyone who is

more unfortunate than I am?

The Crown Princess' father
and my father-in-law.

The man whom I believed to be on my side

tried to kill me

because he had to cover up
the horrible truth I found out.

The truth he desperately wants to cover up
by killing me is...

that the Crown Princess is carrying
another man's child.

I was on my way to your quarters,
Your Highness.

I was on my way to yours.

We must've read each other's minds.

I guess so.

I'd like

to spend...

a very long time with you tonight.

If you must stab him in the throat,

I'll do it with my own hands.

Was it you who tried to kill
His Highness, the Crown Prince?

Yoon I-seo.

That wench's life

is in my hands.

I am...

going to marry you.

Don't worry.

I'll find her no matter what.

I shall

ride to my death.
