UNDER THE QUEEN'S UMBRELLA
EPISODE 12
Mother.
It is your first day as the Crown Prince.
How could I not come by?
Why do you keep smiling?
I cannot help
but smile just by looking at your face.
-Are you that happy? -Of course.
Just look.
You look great in the royal dragon robe.
No matter how busy you are,
you should take a stroll all around the palace.
Give the court ladies something to smile about too.
Is this not a hoseul, a knee guard?
Yes, Crown Prince.
From now on,
you will have more occasions to bow than you did as a grand prince.
Once you begin to study at Sigangwon,
you must kneel and bow to your tutors before your classes.
At times, you will have to read while kneeling down without a desk.
The Crown Prince
must serve his tutors,
the King,
and his people.
Yes, Mother.
I will always carry out my duties with modesty.
Although it is a position everyone wishes to rise to,
you will also face difficulties at every moment.
I am ready to face them.
Mother.
I must go now.
Yes.
You should go.
Did you have a good night?
I am here to greet you.
You look quite different
with your new attire, Crown Prince.
I must have gotten used to my life in the palace.
I will fill my eyes with what I see,
remember what I hear,
and if I must, speak forthrightly as the Crown Prince.
Yes.
Always be alert and devote yourself to everything you do.
There is a dragon with four claws
embroidered on the chest of the Crown Prince's robe.
Only when you become the King
do you receive the King's symbol, a dragon with five claws.
The additional claw may not seem like much.
But there are quite a number of those who have disappeared
without obtaining that final claw.
The use of the claws is more important than the amount.
I shall not use
those claws to dominate the people and hurt them,
but to keep them safe.
My brother, Prince Uiseong.
Have you been well?
Yes, Your Royal Highness.
Why did you summon Seo Ham-deok and me to the palace, Your Majesty?
Are you planning to get rid of your political opponents
who are nuisances to you?
I could just hold them accountable for defying the King and kill them.
Why would I go through such a hassle?
But your sword can be pointed at me anytime.
You are different.
Be my Minister of Taxation and save the struggling economy.
There is another position I wish to take.
I will only remain in the palace if you allow me to take this position.
Are you trying to negotiate with the King?
It is a deal proposed by a peddler from outside of the palace walls.
Very well.
Tell me.
What is the position you want?
Seoyeongwan.
SEOYEONGWAN: OFFICIAL IN CHARGE OF THE CROWN PRINCE'S EDUCATION
I will appoint you as Seoyeongwan
if you will also be the Minister of Taxation.
Negotiating in the palace is not about compromising.
You make the other party give up.
Therefore, I shall not back down either.
You have changed a lot.
So you must also stay alert
to survive…
in this palace.
Grandmother.
Please stay healthy and well.
It is quite sad to hear
that you will leave the palace to live on your own.
His Majesty gave him a residence near the palace.
So please do not be so sad.
My dear Prince Uiseong
is the first grandson I held in my arms.
He is very special to me.
I will…
always keep my eyes on you, Prince Uiseong.
I will return to the palace.
Yes.
Be sure to return.
I shall make it happen.
Your Majesty, the jogang, morning lesson, has begun.
I see.
What is wrong, Your Majesty?
I am afraid his first class may turn into sinbangrye.
Is that not
the welcoming orientation for new scholars at Sungkyunkwan?
That is the official meaning.
But they use the welcoming as an excuse
to give difficult assignments and humiliate the new arrivals.
It is a welcoming orientation and a severe hazing ritual.
The first day at Sigangwon is the same.
The tutors ask difficult questions to make him devote himself to his studies.
Some will use that chance
to find fault with the Crown Prince.
I do not know about the others,
but Chief State Councilor will not let go of this chance.
I hope the Crown Prince overcomes their harsh hazing.
What do you believe is the difference between a turbulent and a peaceful time?
The time of a sage king is called a peaceful time,
and the time of a futile king is called a turbulent time.
Then what do you believe is the King's duty in a turbulent time?
He must be wise in his ways of handling the war.
How shall he handle it?
The King of a turbulent time should not raise an army recklessly.
Sun Tzu said, "Move not unless you see an advantage."
"Fight not unless faced with danger."
He is right.
He must first try to solve it through diplomacy to avoid war.
That is incorrect.
That is not the case in a turbulent time.
Taking military action to make the enemy take a step back
is a key diplomatic strategy.
That is the way to win the war
and bring benefit to the kingdom.
If we must fight, we must fight and win.
However,
what is more important than victory is ending the war quickly.
Because the people are the ones getting hurt during the war.
Chief State Councilor, do you believe this is a turbulent time?
Is the King's duty in a turbulent time so important in this time of peace?
Why do you ask such a question?
If we relax our vigilance when the kingdom is at peace,
the military government becomes restful, and we will certainly become vulnerable.
If we have a worthy king
and worthy ministers,
we will be able to handle any danger sagaciously.
I will consider your question as your high expectation of me.
TONG, OUTSTANDING
"The Crown Prince has been crowned."
"All women eligible to marry are prohibited from marrying."
A marriage ban has already been imposed?
These are the three young ladies the Queen Dowager wants
for the Three-Step Selection.
The eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel.
The niece of the chief magistrate of Hanseong Magistracy.
The second daughter of the Minister of War.
If one of the Queen Dowager's people becomes the Crown Princess,
it will be hard for the Crown Prince to hold his position.
I must stop that.
Is there a way?
Bring me a list of young ladies unrelated to the Queen Dowager.
We must find a strong candidate and recommend her.
The granddaughter of the Left State Councilor.
Oh, my.
That yellow makes your skin look too dull.
-Take it off. -Yes, Mother.
It does not look great on her.
We will not take it.
But my lady,
the garment was tailored to the young lady.
I need you to pay for it.
Are you telling us to buy a garment that does not suit her?
Well…
Goodness, there is powder and rouge on this.
I cannot sell this to anyone else.
It was not me.
Pardon?
I checked the condition before you tried it on.
Are you suggesting that I am lying?
Goodness, that is not what I meant.
Let us visit Gu's store.
She is here.
Goodness, my lady.
She is known to be modest and gentle
and is the eldest daughter of the Right Associate State Councilor.
Is the garment ready?
I am so sorry.
One of my helpers here
sold the garment you ordered by mistake.
-Goodness. -What do you mean?
I asked you to take extra care as it is for the selection.
But it was sold to someone else?
Mother, it is for the better.
Look at this silk.
I like this design more than the previous one.
Goodness, yes.
This silk just arrived today.
Then make me another one with this.
Of course, young lady.
I will find the best seamstress in the capital and tell her to hurry.
This garment is important, so ask her to take her time and take extra care.
Yes, of course.
Please put in extra care.
ELDEST DAUGHTER OF THE RIGHT ASSOCIATE STATE COUNCILOR
Goodness, our young lady seems fine by day,
but she cries her heart out every night.
Why?
How would I know?
She must have had stress piled up in her heart.
She sighs all the time.
Whenever I am with her, I also feel exhausted
and depressed.
That is just pitiful.
My young lady is an idiot.
She is just so ignorant.
I cannot believe she was born of her father.
So what if she is ignorant? It is fine as long as she is good at heart.
Come to think about it, there is no fault with my young lady.
Not only is she a beauty, but her heart is made of gold,
and she is also smart.
If she were a man, she would have passed the state exam.
And? Anything else?
Do I have to show you this too?
Look.
Who would embroider
the socks of a handmaiden?
This is my life.
Whose family do you serve?
Me?
I serve the family of the Chief Royal Secretary.
You know, right?
Chief Royal Secretary?
Min Seung-yun?
How dare you speak of his name like that?
Anyhow.
I have not seen such flawless skin on a commoner.
Come to think of it, there is no dirt on your neck or nails.
Your lord must adore you a lot.
You are right.
Why did you not show it off?
She seemed different.
ELDEST DAUGHTER OF THE HEADMASTER OF SUNGKYUNKWAN
How dare you, you filthy thing?
SECOND DAUGHTER OF THE SECTION CHIEF OF THE MINISTRY OF RITES
ELDEST DAUGHTER OF THE LEFT ASSISTANT ROYAL SECRETARY
That young lady. Whose daughter is she?
The eldest of the Chief Royal Secretary.
I think I finally have found her.
The eldest of the Chief Royal Secretary is a great person.
She is gentle and educated, and she is great to her handmaidens.
ELDEST DAUGHTER OF THE CHIEF ROYAL SECRETARY
I cannot believe this. You are trying to defraud her.
Give her the amount she deserves for the hairpin.
I told you, I have given her more than she deserves.
The one who is selling this does not care. Why are you meddling in this?
I just cannot believe it.
I cannot just ignore it when you are trying to defraud her.
She could have gotten at least 30 nyang.
-What now? Ten nyang? -What?
-Goodness. -That is cheap.
Well, hang on.
Are you two acquainted or something?
Us? We have passed each other by.
You probably have no idea since you only met her,
but this woman was deserted because she could not bear a child.
The front of her garment is cut.
She is a divorced woman!
-He is right. -It really is cut.
So what?
That has nothing to do with the price of this hairpin.
Of course, it matters.
Who would buy an article from a deserted woman? It is bad luck.
Only a generous man like me would pay ten nyang for that.
Is that so?
Let me borrow it for a moment.
If I offer this golden hairpin, does anyone want to take it?
-Me! I want it! -I will take it!
Give it to me.
-What? -What is she doing?
-Goodness. -What is with her?
Does anyone still want it?
-Me! -I want it!
-I will take it! -I will.
-Give it to me. -I want it.
-Me! -Who cares? It is still gold.
See? No matter what you do to this golden hairpin,
its value does not diminish.
The same goes for her!
So you must pay her the same amount as anybody else.
Goodness, I will be generous.
Here is 20 nyang. Take it or leave it.
I will buy it.
If I offer you 30 nyang,
will you sell it to me?
Thirty?
Thirty?
Here is 35 nyang.
Is this good enough?
I will take the hairpin.
-Look at him. -Goodness.
-He is as good as a thief. -Goodness.
Thank you for your help.
Thank you.
Thanks to you, I will be able to afford food for a while.
I am glad you got its worth.
Thank you.
She looks like a nobleman's daughter.
Is she not on our list?
Oh, my. She is the eldest daughter of the Minister of War.
Minister of War?
For what reason did you help that woman?
Is it not too cruel
that her husband can divorce her
just because she could not bear a child?
The Seven Valid Causes for Divorce
is the legal ground for a man to legally desert his wife.
At times, it turns immoral and creates innocent victims.
I do not understand.
If there is such a law,
why is there no law that protects women?
There is.
It is called Sambulgeo, the Three Exceptions.
-Sambulgeo? -Yes.
There is a law that protects married women.
If she mourned her parents-in-law for three years,
if the family obtained wealth after their marriage,
or if she has no family to return to,
the man may not desert his wife
even if she pertains to the Seven Valid Causes for Divorce.
I see.
The law gives the husband a spear,
whereas it gives the wife a shield.
But here is the problem.
Most women know the Seven Valid Causes for Divorce,
but they do not know about Sambulgeo.
There is a law to help them protect themselves,
but they are unaware of such a right.
Or it may be
that she could not have the right even if she did know.
I am right.
The law provides seven spears, but only three shields.
If the woman is stabbed by one of them, she will get hurt, will she not?
Your Royal Highness.
How did you travel this far without any forewarning?
From ancient times, it is said that one turns red near a stamp pad,
and one turns black near an ink stick.
What does this adage mean?
It means one is affected greatly by those around them.
Who is that someone to you?
My parents.
From the day I was born until now,
I have learned from them and tried to be like them.
One's parents are the child's first teachers.
So they must always set an example
with a rightful mind and just behavior.
Do you not wish to submit a participation form for the selection?
-A participation form? -Yes.
Everyone wants to be the Crown Princess.
But you do not seem interested.
How would I live forever in that suffocating palace?
I do not want that.
There is not a lot of time left for you to participate.
Do consider it.
I am not interested.
I am
already in love with someone.
He may be the Crown Prince, but I cannot live with someone without love.
I do not know who he is,
but he must be quite a great man.
Yes.
I thought he was only handsome.
But after spending a few days together,
I also realized he is a fine man through and through.
Do you wish to see him?
Sure.
How…
do you know him?
Pardon?
He is the Crown Prince.
Goodness, that is nonsense.
He is an inspector who works for the kingdom,
but not the Crown Prince.
I recently saw him working as an inspector on an island.
I am a woman of the palace.
How could I not know what His Royal Highness looks like?
Is he really the Crown Prince?
By any chance,
are you a senior court lady?
Yes.
If he is really the Crown Prince…
It could have been bad.
Senior Court Lady, I will never forget your kindness.
If you participate in the selection,
you cannot tell anybody
that you have already met the Crown Prince.
-Why? -The royal family is very strict.
It will not help if the elders find out that you have
met the Crown Prince in private.
I will remember that.
Senior Court Lady!
See you again in the palace!
It is so pretty.
It really is.
There are such shells everywhere,
but I will keep…
that one's other half.
So if we meet once again,
please consider it fate.
Your Royal Highness, this is your eunuch.
Your Royal Highness, your evening lesson will begin soon.
Let us go.
Minister Yoon, you have done a good job in bringing up your daughters.
There is no fault I can find in these young ladies of a prestigious family.
You are very generous, Your Royal Highness.
Father!
Father, I want to be the Crown Princess.
You have not submitted the participation form, have you?
Then I want to go.
Later.
Let us talk later.
There is no later.
Please allow me to go to the palace.
I will no longer speak casually with anybody
or lift up my skirt as I walk,
and I will walk carefully and stop leaving home.
Father.
I have to be the Crown Princess.
It has to be me no matter what.
Why must you become the Crown Princess?
No, Your Majesty.
She is the daughter of Minister Yoon.
It is Minister Yoon we are speaking of.
He is the hands and feet of the Queen Dowager.
And his eldest is such an unruly girl
that even matchmakers do not make her an offer.
Why did you tell her to participate?
I already thought this through.
I asked why you must become the Crown Princess.
If you participate in the selection,
you cannot tell anybody
that you have already met the Crown Prince.
Because I wish to rise to the highest position.
The highest position allowed for a woman of noble birth
is the queenship, is it not?
That is why I wish to become the Crown Princess.
This is the only way I can meet him.
This is a royal marriage.
Not anybody can do it only because they want to.
You must have wanted to see me in private
because you did not think I was just anybody.
In that case,
will you stand on my side?
Stand your side, Your Royal Highness?
Yes.
From now on, you must not keep any secrets from me.
As his grandmother,
I am quite worried about the Crown Prince
who was crowned without preparation because of his brother's sudden death.
What if he does not settle?
What if he does not have enough power?
He was crowned after a difficult contest,
so I must know everything to give him my support.
Will you do that for me?
Why in the world do you wish to have her as the Crown Princess?
I want to know if you have any other intentions.
I told you that one of your daughters shall become the Crown Princess.
I am simply trying to keep my promise.
I have served you for 20 years, Your Royal Highness.
Do you think I would not know?
In the end,
you are trying to use her
to bring down the Crown Prince.
Please tell me what your plan is.
Yes, she may be used in said way.
However, you still have
two other daughters.
Crown Prince, are you not interested in the Crown Princess selection?
If you and elders
find me a Crown Princess, I shall abide.
I believe this marriage is a part of my duty as the Crown Prince.
Establishing myself as the Crown Prince
is how I can do my part for the royal family.
Yes.
It has been 20 years since His Majesty ascended the throne,
but the royal family is still being threatened by a group of rebels.
So I hope you will
find a great Crown Princess
and have a child as soon as possible.
I will remember that.
By any chance, is there a woman you have set your heart on?
Father.
I said no.
How many times must I say it?
Father, please.
Please.
Father.
Halt!
I suddenly jumped in like this.
As you already know, I am very well-trained.
Listen.
You better take your hands off that woman.
I thought I warned you.
My bravery stood out so brightly.
-This was the first time -This was the first time
-I saved Cho-wol. -I saved Cho-wol.
I always show up whenever she needs me,
so she must have realized we were meant to be.
That is why we had no choice but to spend the night together.
-Cho-wol… -Cho-wol
was as pretty as the moon of that night.
Brother.
You have told us that story numerous times now.
What? Really?
But why have you two remained friends until now?
It is…
because of the promise made that night.
Thank you for helping me.
You must protect yourself next time.
If anyone treats you with disdain,
confront them confidently.
I am only a flower of a courtesan house
and am unscented.
Bees.
Do not dream of falling on the flower.
Sit on the willow, then leave.
Do you write poetry?
I mix this and that and pretend I wrote it.
Please give me your hand.
It has not been long since we met. Do you already wish to hold my hand?
What is this?
It is a full moon, but once you peel it, it is a half moon.
Please be my congenial friend.
I wish to be a friend who writes poetry together.
Do you only wish to be friends with a handsome man like me?
I am not a courtesan, but I am still of lowly birth.
I cannot be with a nobleman anyway.
Only friends can continue to meet like this.
Then do not fall for me.
You must never harbor feelings for me.
Really?
I wish to see you for a very long time.
What do you mean?
Cho-wol left?
Why?
Where did she go?
I do not know either.
Your Majesty, Physician Kwon is in Hanseong.
Hanseong?
Where in Hanseong is he now?
Someone saw him in Seochon.
Why did he suddenly return to Hanseong?
Trace his whereabouts.
Find out where he went
and who he met.
Find out every little detail.
The interrogation will begin soon. You must leave before then.
Is there a way?
Once you drink this, you will suffocate and convulse temporarily.
Once you are sent to the Royal Clinic, I will get you out.
You know everything.
We must stop you from undergoing an interrogation.
What is the matter?
What is going on?
Hey!
Hey!
A criminal took poison and died in the palace prison?
How does this make any sense?
I apologize, Your Majesty.
What did you find in Mount Gyeryong and Seo Ham-deok's base?
They ran away without leaving any trace,
so I was unable to find any evidence.
What about the ones that made contact with the deposed Queen Yoon and her son?
I watched them for months,
but no one came to visit them,
and they did not show any suspicious movement.
No.
No.
There must be people who are in league with them.
Keep them under your watch at all times.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We must get rid of the rebels
who are yet to be exposed.
There may be an accomplice within the palace,
so continue to investigate.
Lord Seo Ham-deok has taken his own life.
He took all the blame with him for the sake of our rebellion.
Once the interrogation began, we could have fallen in danger too,
so he did not have a choice.
We cannot let the will of Lord Seo disappear in vain.
We cannot hold ourselves back because of this incident.
In this situation, what we need is a justification
to revolt against the King.
In order to do so, we must prove that Crown Prince Taein
did not pass of illness, but was murdered.
Do you understand?
-Yes. -Yes.
BOKGEOMSIHYEONGDO: A DRAWING OF THE STATE OF A DEAD BODY
The only one who can clarify the death of the Crown Prince…
is Physician Kwon.
What will you do with him?
I must return to the palace.
I need you to help me.
Yes, do return.
I also need your help.
What poison
did you use on the Crown Prince back then?
Your Majesty.
The eldest daughter of the Minister of War
is participating in the Crown Princess selection.
Why did the Queen Dowager change her mind
and choose that problematic young lady?
She is not satisfied
with simply having a Crown Princess who will stand on her side.
In the end,
she will show her claws against the Crown Prince.
Why did you choose the eldest
instead of his second or third daughter?
In order to shake the position of the Crown Prince,
instead of giving him the best bride,
I must gift him the worst bride.
That was fun.
I wish to select Lady Yoon,
the eldest of the Minister of War.
I am against your decision.
Lady Yoon seemed too free and easy.
Is that so?
She looked much more poised than you when I first saw you
during the selection.
I also believe the daughter of the Minister of War
does not lack anything to proceed to the Three-Step Selection.
She does not seem like Crown Princess material to me.
I must
promote Lady Yoon for the Three-Step Selection.
So you can also recommend a candidate of your own.
In that case,
I would like to promote the daughter of Lord Min Seung-yun.
Your Royal Highness.
Her Majesty supports the daughter of the Chief Royal Secretary,
and the Queen Dowager supports the daughter of the Minister of War.
The entire palace is buzzing and wondering which one of them
will become the Crown Princess.
Only the quarters of Your Royal Highness are this quiet.
Your Royal Highness, do you not want to know who will make it?
Lady Min.
Why do you not sit on the cushion?
It has the name of my father,
so I cannot dare to sit on it.
Lady Yoon, you must have a different idea.
This is simply a cushion I am sitting on.
A piece of paper with my father's name is nothing but a piece of paper.
I am sure my father is somewhere in this palace
praying earnestly that I become the Crown Princess.
Will you explain the Seven Valid Causes for Divorce,
the standards for the behavior of a woman?
Lady Min, you may begin.
These are the seven faults that allow a man to desert his wife.
It is also called Seven Outs or Seven Reasons to Leave.
It applies when she is insolent to her parents-in-law,
fails to give birth,
behaves lustfully, becomes jealous,
is overly talkative, or steals.
If any one of the seven applies to one's wife,
the husband may demand a divorce on his own initiative.
Lady Yoon, please.
-Seven Valid Causes for Divorce is-- -Lady Yoon.
Instead of that,
tell us what Sambulgeo, the Three Exceptions, is.
If there is such a law,
why is there no law that protects women?
There is.
It is called Sambulgeo, the Three Exceptions.
The question does not seem fair.
Why do you ask such a question only to Lady Yoon?
The other two young ladies
gave a great answer already about the Seven Valid Causes for Divorce.
So I wish to ask Lady Yoon a different question.
If you do not think this is fair,
the other two young ladies may feel free
to speak up first.
Please allow me to answer.
Sambulgeo is like three shields.
Three shields?
What do you mean by that?
These three reasons are why a man
cannot leave his wife even if she pertains to the Seven Valid Causes for Divorce.
In return for giving the husband a spear,
the wife is provided with a shield.
Your Royal Highness.
Your Royal Highness.
The decision has been made.
The eldest of the Minister of War
has been selected as the Crown Princess.
I see.
One of the Queen Dowager's people became the Crown Princess.
My daytime lesson will begin soon. Get ready.
Yes, Your Royal Highness.
Your Royal Highness.
This will be your quarters for a few months until the royal wedding.
We will serve you with utmost care while you are here.
You do not need to show courtesy, Your Royal Highness.
I see.
We will train the handmaiden you brought from home
and return her to you when she is ready.
You can follow me.
Your Majesty.
Are you really Her Majesty the Queen?
Why did you not tell me that you are Her Majesty?
I did not have any idea.
I am so glad to meet you again.
You smile
just like your mother.
Pardon?
Are you acquainted with my mother?
You have raised your daughter very well.
You are too generous, Your Majesty.
We simply raised her to be healthy.
It is our duty as parents to watch silently.
Then the child's caliber will grow bigger on its own.
Yes, you are right.
It is up to our children to fill it.
Oh, my.
You and I seem to understand each other very well.
Your Majesty.
What is the real reason you have visited us here?
I wish for your eldest daughter to be
selected as the Crown Princess.
The Queen Dowager
also wishes to have her as the Crown Princess.
Yes, I am aware.
Why must it be her?
I do not wish to sacrifice your daughter
like the Queen Dowager wishes to do.
I only chose her as the Crown Princess because she is the most outstanding.
I saw your eldest daughter by coincidence.
Unlike other young ladies who only learn from their books,
she is like a gemstone.
Not only did she step up and help the weak,
but she was also very compassionate.
Is there a better quality than that as the Crown Princess?
The only concern I had was that
she is your daughter, Minister Yoon.
However, I will use the power of the Queen Dowager
to make your daughter the Crown Princess.
And I will
keep them safe.
So now, Minister Yoon,
I ask you to be the shield for the Crown Prince.
I will be
the shield for your daughter.
However, Your Majesty,
my daughter does not excel in her studies.
How can she pass the tough Three-Step Selection?
I already have an idea.
I had to meet my in-laws
before I welcomed my daughter-in-law.
By the way, Your Majesty, when may I meet the Crown Prince?
Before that,
you must take lessons for a while to become a part of the royal family.
You must do so
to meet the Crown Prince.
I see.
If you finish the lessons quickly,
then you will meet him sooner.
Then I will begin the lessons right now.
You must not move your shoulders or head.
Please keep your hands together neatly.
Do not take short, quick steps.
You must walk lightly in even strides.
Crown Princess, it is not difficult.
Just imagine that you are going over stepping stones in a brook.
And in the palace, we end up running
much more than walking lightly.
In Jungyong,
there are the desires of your flesh and the desires of your heart.
Explain how the desires are different in the two phrases.
The desire of your flesh
is your wish to eat when you are hungry
and your wish to sleep when you are sleepy.
It means your personal desire does not concern others.
The desire of your heart
is when your desire is purely private and personal.
Your Royal Highness.
You must learn all this and retain them by tomorrow.
How can I learn and retain all this?
This is the summary.
Just read this.
How can we do our best at all times?
It will wear you out.
My name is Yoon Cheong-ha.
So if we meet once again,
please consider it fate.
The eldest daughter of the Minister of War
stands on the side of the Queen Dowager.
Please consummate your marriage now.
Allow us to leave.
Your Royal Highness!
What did you just say?
I said I came to find the father of the child.
What?
Who did what?
Who came
with whose child?
UNDER THE QUEEN'S UMBRELLA
Since early this morning,
there was a strange rumor spreading in the palace
so I was worried.
If he cannot ascend you to the throne,
you can always step over him to do so.
I will take responsibility and raise the child.
It should not be hard to secretly raise a child.
It seems like Physician Kwon did not only treat hyeolheogwol.
It seems like I have found out something I should not have.
Would you like to join me
in finding out how and why the late Crown Prince had to die?
