Episode 13

You were unharmed, My Lady.

[Lady Yunheung (Future Queen Munwha)]

Where is Prince Gaeryeong?

[Lady Sungdeok-Hwangbo Su (Future Empress Cheonchu)]

Did you come to verify, if my son was dead or alive?

What are you implying?

My child is safe.

He definitely won't die, even if someone has tried.

So, you came for nothing.

What are you implying?

Allow me to see Prince Gaeryeong, I must see him� In fact, I must take him back to Gaegyeong.

You cannot!

We came here safely, amidst dangers surrounding us.

Now, you want to take him back to Gaegyeong!

That will not happen!

How can a sane mother send his own son back to the very same place where his enemies are plotting to kill him!

What are you saying?

Who tried to kill your son?

You were attacked by the Jurchen, if I'm not mistaken!

By the way, they are being pursued by the Imperial Guards.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about any danger.

They won't capture the Jurchen, even if they try for a lifetime.

How can they capture the Jurchen, when it wasn�t the Jurchen from the beginning?

Who else can it be?

You can�t�

You can�t be suspecting me?

Prince Gaeryeong!

Go inside... Song!

[Wang Song-Prince Gaeryeong (future King Mokjong)]

My Queen?

Very well...You are safe.

Prince Gaegyeong, come over here.

I told you to go inside!

Prince! Please go inside.

These are the very same people who tried to assassinate you.

How dare you speak that nonsense?!

[Yi Jujeong (Supervisor of Myeongbok Palace)]

If it wasn�t the truth, there would be no reason for your presence!

It wasn't the Jurchen! You came here to kill the Prince!

Shut your mouth!

How dare you speak that way in front of the her Highness?

Is that your sentiment as well, Lady Sungdeok?

You think, I tried to harm Prince Gaeryeong!

I have no way of knowing if it was you or not.

What I do know for a fact is that, it wasn�t the Jurchen.

Therefore, I cannot send my child back to Gaegyeong.

What nonsense are you...!

Prince Gaeryeong, come over here!

Didn�t I already say� NO!

Prince Gaeryeong!

Yes, My Lady.

You can�t, don�t go.

Mother...

Prince Gaeryeong!

All of you must be crazy! Get out of the way immediately!

I told you not to go back to Gaegyeong.

Song, don�t go outside...

If you go back with Lady Yunheung, something bad might happen.

Mother, didn�t you see for yourself, we were attacked by the Jurchen.

Their appearance might have been Jurchen, but they were Goryeoans from Gaegyeong who tried to harm you.

That can�t be� She can�t be the one�

How can a person, who has raised me until now, try to harm me.

I am not necessarily saying that she is responsible�

I just don�t want to send you back to Gaegyeong.

Please, believe in me.

Please allow me to meet with her.

She is also like a mother to me.

Move out of the way.

My Lady...

Do it.

Prince Gaeryeong!

Are you okay?

Let see...You are not hurt anywhere?

No, My Lady.

Do you know how much I�ve worried?

It was my fault.

I shouldn�t have sent you there.

You must have been scared.

I am alright.

There is no need to worry.

I will not part ways with you the second time.

Let�s go back to the palace?

However, My Lady�

What?

You don�t think that I tried to harm you as well?

No, I don�t.

How could that be, but�

My mother was injured trying to save me.

How can I just leave her in that state?

Now, looking at it, you refer her as your mother, while you still call me by "My Lady".

Am I not your mother?

I can�t just leave you here, I will talk to Lady Sungdeok again.

Without a doubt, you must return.

The Jurchen?

It appears that way.

Are the both of them safe?

I am not sure, that is why Her Highness went to Hwangju to see for herself.

[Seo Hui (Vice-Minister of Internal Affairs)]

The more I think about it, it might be the work they are doing in the Balhaen village.

If they hold Lady Sungdeok responsible, it is very possible, it could be the Jurchen.

[Yi Ji Baek (Vice-Minister of Government Building)]

[Gang Gamchan (Vice-Minister of the Office of Royal Decree)]

No, it can�t be. It is definitely not the Jurchen.

What evidence do you have to support your thinking?

It was also revealed that the attack on Myeongbok Palace had nothing to do with working on Balhaen Village.

That is why, it's even more unbelievable to think they would travel all the way to Gaegyeong

to attack, instead of Hwangju.

According to the monks of Guibup Temple, they confirmed that it was the Jurchen.

No, it doesn�t make sense.

I could see them attacking Lady Sungdeok,

but to attack Prince Gaeryeong is like declaring war against Goryeo.

How can any sane Jurchen be so crazy over such small matter.

Not even the great Nation of Song, nor the Khitans, would even dare.

So how can it be the Jurchen?

After listening to you, I also don't believe it was the Jurchen who came to Gaegyeong,

in the daylight to attack.

If that is the case, then who could it be?

Who has their eyes set on Lady Sungdeok and Prince Gaeryeong.

Prince Gaeryeong was invested crown prince and His Majesty went to Seogyeong.

Who do you feel is threatened by all this?

(Jo Sun) (Jo Du)

Did you get rid of all the outfits?

Yes, we are burning every single one of them.

You have taken care of all the dead bodies as well?

Most certainly, I�ve even made sure our men will never open their mouths.

This incident will be buried forever.

Are you involved in this matter, Father-In-Law?

Yes...

Minister Kim ensured me he would succeed, but�

[Choi Seom (Vice-Minister of the Chancellery, Leader of the Shillan faction)]

The more I think about it, I think it was a mistake on my part.

I should have never listen to him in the first place.

This is a big matter...

I am certain when His Majesty returns, he will have this incident investigated.

Furthermore, if the real culprit is revealed, there will be dire consequences.

(Seol Shinyu)

You are absolutely right.

How could you handle this matter so carelessly?

(Yi Yang)

That is why we are gathered here!

Stop talking about it and come up with a solution!

Father-In-Law,

what if we set them up?

[(Kim Shimon (Choi Seom's son-in-law)]

Set them up?

How?

Use this incident to blame Hwangju.

We can�t do that.

We even tried to blame Hwangju for the attack on Myeongbok Palace,

and the real culprits were revealed.

If we push this matter, it might backfire on us and we will be under suspicion.

But, this incident is different from the last one.

If it is certain that Lady Sungdeok took Prince Gaeryeong to Hwangju,

it might give us an opportunity.

Just the fact that Lady Sungdeok took Prince Gaegyeong to Hwangju will infuriate his majesty.

Yes, it makes sense...

As you all know, they are not on good terms with each another.

Yes.

With his standing order forbidding her to see Prince Gaeryeong,

just the fact that she took him to Hwangju, she will take full blame.

First of all, let�s clear up our misunderstanding.

I had nothing to do with the attack on Guibup Temple.

If you do not suspect the Jurchen, his majesty will investigate the matter thoroughly.

So please, return Prince Gaeryeong back to me.

Until the culprits are captured, I can�t allow that.

Didn�t I tell you that I�ll take the responsibility.

To be honest, I can�t trust you either.

The best person to look after him is the person who gave birth to him, which is me.

Prince Gaeryeong was raised by my hands for the past ten years.

Do you have any idea what he likes or dislikes?

That... ten years!

Who do you think is responsible for our separation� That person is His Majesty, himself.

Do you have any idea how many bitter tears of blood I have shed!

So, now you are gloating in front of me about knowing my child better, because you have raised him.

If you have any conscience, you won't dare!

I am sure that his majesty had his reasons for doing it.

Reasons... okay, let�s hear those reasons?

What sins did I commit for me to be separated from my baby? Unable to see my own child?

It is for the sake of his future.

Prince Gaeryeong is not your average child.

He will succeed his majesty and lead this Nation of Goryeo.

If that is the case, why can I see my own child?

You are not able to help nor support him!

What did you say?

A lady should act like a lady.

As a lady, your duties are to look after the welfare of your child and husband.

All you do is confront his majesty, act like a man, and refuse to follow the etiquette of being a lady.

So, how can you not have a bad influence on your child!

I don't know how to be a proper lady. All I know is that I would never teach my child falsely.

Therefore, you may leave at once!

I will be responsible for my own child.

I cannot leave like this.

I shall take Prince Gaeryeong!

General Gang... General Gang, are you there?

Lady Yunheung outside!

I told you that I will leave with Prince Gaeryeong!

What are you waiting for! Escort her out of my sight, immediately!

Please leave?

Your wretch! I am this nation's concubine, how dare you force me to leave.

If it is My Lady's order, I will follow it.

(Gang Jo)

If you do not want to be forcibly removed, please leave quietly.

My Prince... My Prince...

My Lady!

Prince Gaeryeong!

Let me go! How dare you block my path!

Prince Gaeryeong!

I will go... If you oppose Lady Yunheung, I shall leave as well.

Send them away!

Please, leave immediately!

I can't... I must take Prince Gaeryeong... Bring him to me!

If you do not want to see any blood, escort Her Highness out of here.

Prince Gaeryeong...

Prince Gaeryeong...

Prince Gaeryeong!

Your mother will come for you, just wait!

My Lady!

- My Lady! - Prince Gaeryeong!

- My Lady! - Prince Gaeryeong!

- My Lady! - Prince Gaeryeong!

What is the meaning of this?

Why are you driving away Lady Yunheung?

I am just protecting you.

By driving away Lady Yunheung, how are you protecting me?

Song, please listen my sincere words.

I am doing this to protect you.

For someone who is trying to protect me, why are you blaming Lady Yunheung,

for something the Jurchen committed?

I really cannot tell, if you are genuinely sincere.

Song...

I don't know... I have no idea who to believe in anymore!

The relationship issues between the two are greater than I expected.

It is all education... that is why education is scarier than your own bloodline.

What if this continues after he ascends to the throne.

We have to make sure that it doesn't happen.

How about looking for the culprits?

(Sa Illa) (Sa Gamun)

If we contact that person in Gaegyeong, we might be able to find the culprits.

(Kim Chi Yang)

We can't do that, it would only increase the risk of our being discovered.

Even if we were to find the culprits, how would we explain how we found them.

Just trying to explain would cause us nothing but problems.

Let's wait and see what transpires...

Oh! I need you to travel to Seogyeong tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Find out what is going on in Seogyeong, while acting like a business man looking to trade merchandise.

So, you better not even dream of any foolish thinking.

Is that understood!

What?

While you are in Seogyeong, do not even consider thinking about the King.

Yes, I understand.

Chief,

why don't we... You know that Prince Gyeongjuwon is at Byul Palace.

Why him?

His mother is Empress Shinsung.

He is the cousin of late King Gyeongjong.

So what?

He is not interested in power, but he does have the lineage to take the throne.

Why don't we convert him to our side?

It's no use, they all end up as betrayers.

Besides, he has no desire for power.

A man without power is good as carrying around a dead product.

Do not be distracted with silly ideas.

Earning the trust of people here is the most important thing for us now.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

Sir Gang?

Aren't you the second Dowager Queen?

How did you get here and why?

[Gang Gamchan (Vice-Minister of the Office of Royal Decree)]

[Hwangbo Seol (future mother of King Hyeongjong)]

I came to see him.

You came alone?

Where is he? That person?

My Lady?

Please, take me to him...

To him...

My Lady, why are you doing this? My Lady!

I will die if I don't see him.

Please, take me to him, Sir.

She walked here all the way from Hwangju.

She couldn't even talk and with her feet bruised,

I tried to convince her to come tomorrow, but to no avail.

Therefore...

I will leave now.

Even if I stayed, I may be of no help.

Do you know how far it is from Hwangju to here?

Why act so foolishly?

That is why... you can't leave me alone.

If you hadn't left and held on to me...

it might have been different.

If only you had told me to stay,

I would have ignored even my grandmother's word and not have gone to the palace.

My Lady?

If only you would have held on to me, I wouldn't have lived my life so miserably.

This time, I won't let you go.

No matter what others say, I won't let you go.

I have regretted and then regretted some more, these past ten years for not holding on to you.

Not holding on to you, and living my life as I did, was very painful.

For me... I felt the same way.

I told myself that it was wrong and tried to forget.

Even after I drank myself until I could no longer think clearly, but...

I still couldn't get you out of my mind.

No... I wouldn't get you out of my mind.

I feel the same way as you.

Even after you were taken away from her by His Majesty and kicked out of the palace,

not for a moment, did she ever forget about you.

[Wang Song- Prince Gaeryeong (future King Mokjong)]

She even begged His Majesty in the freezing cold, asking him to see you at least one more time.

I, till this day, cannot get that image of her Highness out of my head.

Instead of you, she was injured by a sword to her shoulder, at Guibup Temple.

But today, it was you, My Prince, that caused her pain in her heart.

You left a wound that will never ease away.

What should I do about that child?

You can't just let him stay here at Myeongbok Palace, as is.

Lady Yunheung will notify His Majesty in Seogyeong.

If that happens, he will not sit idly by.

But, I can't send him away like this.

How can I send him to Gaegyeong, when I know there is someone trying to harm him?

You should go to Seogyeong first.

Take the prince with you and meet with His Majesty.

Explain to him about the incident at Guibup Temple and get assurance of the prince's safety.

Also...

Also...

tell His Majesty that you will enter Sungdeok Palace in Gaegyeong, as His Majesty wanted you to.

If you tell him all this, His Majesty will believe in you.

He will allow you to be with the prince.

Are you suggesting that I abandon Myeongbok Palace?

Yes, you must abandon it.

Abandon the citizens of Balhae who are struggling to survive?

You have helped them a great deal already.

I think it is time for them to survive on their own accord.

I will send Hyang Bi to the village to help them out.

What about you?

As I already stated, I will serve you.

I don't want to... I won't...

I can't go there alone.

I told you that, I need to serve Her Highness and escort her to Gaegyeong.

(Cheon Hyang Bi)

Then, I shall go to Gaegyeong as well.

If you leave them as well, they will feel abandoned.

They don't need me... It's you that they need, Brother.

The person they want by their side is you and not me.

Her Highness, has given me a reason to live.

I can't leave her side, I must protect her.

So, you have to stay with them, instead of me.

Is that your only reason?

The reason why you can't leave her side...

What are you saying?

My sister...

You have already forgotten about my sister?

My dead sister... Have you already erased her from your heart?

- Hyang Bi... - I don't want to hear it!

The same as you not wanting to leave Her Highness,

I cannot be separated from you either.

Is that your only reason?

The only reason why you can't leave Her Highness's side?

What about my dead sister... Have you already erased her from your heart?

Your Majesty, why are you not sleeping at all?

What if it affects your health?

[Seongjong (6th King of Goryeo)]

I had no idea how bad of a situation the citizens of Seogyeong were facing.

How can I sleep when I read their pleas, written in tears.

(Goh Hyun)

I will send away the officials, so that you can at least close your eyes a bit.

I'm fine.

I have read the pleas of the citizens of Seogyeong.

All this time, I feel as though, I had neglected Seogyeong's heartbeat.

Tell me what I can do to help you, with the Jurchen and your other issues.

Please, speak up. The reason I have gathered all of you is to introduce yourselves, and

gather your opinions and ideas. So tell me without any worries of retribution.

(Park Yang Yu)

As you know already, King Taejo used Seogyeong as if it was the capital city.

But, because of the Shillan faction's constant opposition, Seogyeong was reduced to a destitute city.

I am sorry to say, but if you pay more attention to the situation in Seogyeong,

their spirit will be yours and they will follow you with all their heart.

(Han Ingyeong)

I also feel the same way.

Please do not be swayed by any opposition and rule as you see fit.

(Han Ungong)

Your Majesty, the written pleas are important,

but can you also have your audience with citizens who are less fortunate.

If you can do that, all of the people will be moved and feel comforted.

That is a great idea.

Report this to all regions in Seogyeong and set a date.

Your favors are immeasurable!

Come over here!

Come over here!

Who are you?

Lady Yunheung is present, hurry and open the door!

Aigoo... My Lady?

What are you doing here so early in the morning?

Father...

Please answer me with the truth, even if my questions seem cold.

You were involved in the Guibup Temple incident, right?

What? Why are you bringing that up all of a sudden?

You are asking me because, you don't know...

I just came from Hwangju and Lady Sungdeok is suspicious of me.

Was it not your doing?

[Kim Won Soong (Minister of Revenue and Lady Yunheung's father)]

What are you talking about?

How can I be involved in this?

Besides that, is Prince Gaeryeong safe?

Do not try to weasel your way out of this question.

You were the one who suggested the idea of taking Prince Gaeryeong to the Temple.

You have always thought of Prince Gaeryeong as a torn in your side.

But, all of a sudden, you were the one who insisted on a meeting between the two of them.

How can you bring up words that are so upsetting?

I had nothing to do with this.

Because you were so conflicted, I thought it'd be best if they met for the last time, as mother and child.

That is the truth.

Why can't you believe in your own father's words?

Oh my! How can I show you that my heart has only pure intentions?

My true intentions are known by heaven and earth.

Okay, because of your insistence, I'll believe in you.

But...

If I find out that you had any involvement in this incident,

our father-daughter relationship is over.

Just remember this, Prince Gaeryeong is my child.

You must eat a lot; a man must be strong and healthy.

At your age, your body looks weak.

After you finish eating, why don't we look around Myeongbok and Hwangju.

How well can you ride a horse?

I have never ridden one.

Then, did you learn martial arts separately?

I don't enjoy them.

That can't be...

I will teach you archery and swordsmanship.

Then, maybe you'll start to enjoy it a bit more.

I need to read a book.

I made a promise to Lady Yunheung, never to neglect my studies, even if I am away.

This is the chamber where His Majesty would study.

He liked his books so much to the point where he wouldn't even sleep, and just kept on reading.

Is that so... This is His Majesty's study chamber.

Who are you?

My name is Kim Chi Yang, My Prince.

Chief Kim is the one who saved your life.

Who me?

Yes. While you were unconscious, he used acupuncture to revive you.

Is that right?

Thank you for saving my life.

Are you feeling any discomfort?

I don't recall any memory of my fainting.

Is there any problem at all?

Because of your sudden traumatic experience, your memory's been diluted.

You don't need to worry anymore.

Will you allow me to give you a present?

Thanks, but no thank you. I have no use for this item.

I do not like weapons.

Hey, Chief Kim, you are a man of many talents.

It is something I learned while doing business, a sleight of hand trick.

If you like, I can always teach you this trick.

Turning a weapon into a book, it is amazing.

All I did was trick your eyes,

looking at the weapon or at the book, you can be tricked into believing.

What do you mean by that?

There is no big difference between the weapon and the book.

Weapon or a book, it depends on the person to believe, what they want to believe.

My Lady...?

(Court Lady Yun)

I know that you are very worried about the prince, but...

shouldn't you at least look for your sister.

Leave her alone.

She might have abandon this place for the sake of what is in her heart.

She has never stepped outside of Hwangju without an escort.

How can she find anyone by herself?

I am just worried that something bad might have happened to her.

Please, forgive me.

You have enough worries, just dealing with the prince.

You have also been separated from your mother?

Yes, Sir.

How?

My mother died trying to save me.

I am envious of you, My Prince.

At least your mother, who saved you, is still alive.

But, I have another mother who raised me; she is Lady Yunheung

She is a gentle loving person.

I can't risk hurting Lady Yunheung for the sake of my birth mother.

Do you think that your birth mother is a strong person?

She is strong. So strong that she is always arguing with His Majesty.

A bamboo may look strong on the outside, it isn't on the inside,

similar to your mother. She may look strong on the outside, but she is empty inside.

Because, she missed you so much that her insides just rotted away.

Even though she is a woman, she would take up arms against the Jurchen and fight.

She only did it to protect her child, even if it meant her death.

If you didn't get help from the heavens, you might not have seen your mother, like me.

My Prince, she is not as strong as you might think.

She may seem unaffected on the outside, but on the inside, she is shedding nothing but tears of blood.

What do you about that?

A mother who has lost her child is so sad that,

even a monk would turn his head at the passing of this grieving mother.

Lady Yunheung, whom you have been so worried about, was able to protect you

because she has been at your side.

But your mother was unable to because His Majesty prevented her.

Can't you hear her cries, her cries for the past ten years.

If it was me, and I could see my birth mother again just one more time,

I would jump into the depths of hell.

So, why are you complaining about staying here for a couple of days?

Must you pound the final nails into her heart?

Is that the truth?

Lady Sungdeok is suspicious of us.

Yes, that's so. It's a big problem. What are we going to do?

What else did Lady Yunheung say to you?

She wanted to tell His Majesty about this, so she may bring back Prince Gaeryeong.

Okay, we should do that.

Let's go to Seogyeong!

No! No! No!

She will tell his majesty it wasn't the Jurchen who attacked them.

That's why we must get there first and tell His Majesty, so that we can blame her for this.

That is our best option right now.

Lady Yunheung just came back from Hwangju and she reported that they both were well.

I was worried something might have happened, but knowing they are well, I am glad.

I am glad for their well being,

but to use this as an excuse to take Prince Gaeryeong back to Hwangju is a bit suspicious.

If they were in trouble, she should of asked for our assistance instead of taking him back to Hwangju.

It is very odd.

He is right, because of her, this incident might get even bigger.

[Choi Ryang (Minister of Culture)]

How so?

As if you didn't know.

Both of them are forbidden to see each other, by order of His Majesty.

If His Majesty finds out that she took him to Hwangju, how furious will he be?

I am sure she did it for the safety of Prince Gaeryeong.

Are we all not parents here?

[Seo Hui (Vice-Minister of Internal Affairs)]

True, what's important here is that both of them are safe.

Right now is the time to unite and find the culprits.

No matter what the two of you say, His Majesty will not let this go by easily.

(Kim Shinwon)

We also can't rule out the fact that she may be responsible for plotting this incident,

- in order to take Prince Gaeryeong to Hwangju. - Stop with your nonsense!

[Yi Ji Baek (Vice-Minister in charge of Government buildings)]

When Myeongbok Palace was attacked, she was accused of it, and now she's being accused again!

Just the fact that she wouldn't allow Lady Yunheung to take Prince Gaeryeong back is very suspicious.

Are you not going overboard with this?!

We haven't even investigated this matter,

and yet, Lady Sungdeok is being accused already is absolutely absurd!

Okay... Okay... Let us stop this!

More than that, how come we don't see Minister Choi and Minister Kim here?

What happen to the both of them?

I'm not sure; I came here separately.

I think that both of them went to Seogyeong.

They went to see His Majesty behind our backs?

Just think about it...

Isn't it ridiculous to think the Jurchen could have done this?

And, isn't it also obvious the Shillan's were behind this attack?

Lady Yunheung went to Hwangju to bring back Prince Gaeryeong, but Lady Sungdeok didn't allow her.

That means Lady Sungdeok also suspects the Shillans.

I agree...

That is why they went to Seogyeong first in order to beat her to the punch.

I am sure they are going to tell His Majesty that it was a ploy of Lady Sungdeok.

You are right.

If we don't do anything about it, Hwangju will be in danger.

Given her temper, this could escalate into a fight with His Majesty and could turn really ugly.

If that is the case, shouldn't we go to Hwangju?

Yes... that's a great idea.

Why don't the two of you head for Hwangju?

What about you?

I need to go somewhere and if you see Her Highness, have her send someone over to me.

Is there something wrong?

Sorry, but I am not able to say at this time.

Just give her that message and she'll understand.

Attendant Yun?

Why do you look so weak?

You look like, you're worried about something?

If you're sick, I can perform acupuncture on you.

Okay... before I perform acupuncture, I need to check your pulse first.

Let me see...

What are you doing?

I just wanted to check your... pulse.

Attendant Yun?

Where are you going?

As you look at your father, do I have any charm as man?

Why does she always turn her head away every time she sees me?

Please, look at the situation before you start acting up.

[Yi Sulhwa (Weapons Instructor of Myeongbok Palace)]

She is consumed with worry over the 2nd Dowager Queen...

Do you think that she will listen to anything that you have to say?

So, according to you, she doesn't find me as man without any charm?

Speaking of the devil! Where is her Highness?

How am I suppose to know that?!

Are you telling me, you two are getting married?

Excuse me for saying this, but... are the two of you in your right minds?

We are both very sane.

And still, both of you want to get married?

You do know how people are going to react to all this, right?

You were once the late King's concubine.

I'm not saying that we are going to invite people.

All that we want to do is swear to the heavens and make an oath as husband and wife.

Since we do need a witness, I am asking you Sir Gang.

- But still... - Please do it for us.

If not for you, then we have no one else.

Did you know that your sister is having difficulties right now?

I do know... I am sure she is shocked by the way I left the palace.

And I know that she will be understanding as time passes.

It's not that... Right now her situation is...

Why? Did something happen to my sister?

No, it's nothing like that.

Then, please take our request.

I will explain everything to my sister at a later time.

I implore you, Heaven's spirit along with the spirit of Goryeo...

Today, these two from a noble family of Royal lineage, give their oath, with nothing in hand.

A man who has wondered all his life met an innocent woman with a pure soul.

Both decided to share their sorrows and settle down.

I pray to thee and ask for your favor, so they may live in happiness for the next 100 years.

Also, look after these two, as they are unable to boast to the world.

Have them lead a wonderful life in happiness, until their death.

Allow them to cherish one another to the very same time, very same day,

until they take their final eternal sleep, please help them.

Eventually these two are the parents of King Hyunjong...

And just like Empress Cheonchu and Kim Chi Yang's relationship,

their relationship is also recorded in history as an illicit affair.

But according to the historians of ancient Joseon, it was not uncommon for a widowed woman to remarry.

Since a woman of this era was able to become head of the household,

both sons and daughters would've shared equally in the inheritance.

That is how they lived...

As remarriages were possible, many would have considered this era as an era of free will,

just like modern times.

Are you finished with your reading?

Yes.

What book did you read?

Hmm... Mother?

I apologize for my behavior yesterday and this morning.

I had no idea, how much you have longed for me and acted very rudely, unlike a filial son.

Please, forgive me?

Song?

If you don't mind, Mother, I would like to stay here with you, for a few days.

Is that alright with you?

Thank you, Song.

Of course you can... Thank you.

Not only for a few days, but if you like, you can have me at your side all your life.

No... I will make sure that it happens.

My son.

Tomorrow, I will gather the citizens of Seogyeong to hear their pleas, so that I may give them comfort.

Therefore, I want the Ministers and the Generals to comfort the citizens, as though you were comforting me.

Your Grace is immeasurable!

What do you think?

(Sa Gamun)

I vote yes, an opportunity like this won't come again.

I agree as well.

We are also in agreement.

But, our leader has ordered us not to make a move.

It might not be right, disobeying his order and attacking as we planned.

If we succeed with this plan, even he will be satisfied.

If you are that worried, why don't you just flee?

Thank you, Merchant Kim.

I was wondering who it was that helped him have a change of heart.

So, it was you after all.

How much could I have done?

It was just his bloodline tugging at him.

I am glad I invited you to stay here, but...

We might have to separate, which brings sadness to my heart.

What are you talking about?

Chief?

We can talk about this matter later.

What is it?

My brother has sent a message.

I think something big might have happened.

He must be crazy!

No... No... It can't happen! Never!
