[Episode 13]

Let me see your face.

I am sure.

Like you ordered, I let him in for now.

You are amazing.

What is your secret to writing so many books?

I get inspiration when I look at beautiful women.

I might be able to write so much thanks to Your Highness.

Your Highness.

("The Princess' Privacy")

What is this?

"The Princess' Privacy"?

I never had you in mind when I wrote that book.

It is just a novel. Please do not take it the wrong way.

It is all right.

- No! - No!

Please... No...

I said it is all right.

I am not that narrow-minded.

You may not be all right if you read it.

What is the matter? It is making me curious.

It is not fun to read at all.

It is a piece of garbage.

Kwang Soo wrote it. Please kill him.

Gosh.

I cannot sleep when I am curious about something.

You might not be able to sleep either if you read it.

You must have read it.

No way. I do not read things like that.

You did. That must be why you are being like this.

What is the matter?

Master Min!

No.

Min Yoo Hwan?

Is that guy in the capital?

He must have heard that she is residing outside the palace.

He came to die.

How shall I deal with it?

He cannot meet with the Princess.

However,

bring him to me alive.

I have a lot to ask him.

Follow me quietly.

- It is dangerous. - I need to talk to him.

- It could be another trap. - I do not care.

I do not care even if it is a trap, so let go.

Then I shall go with you.

I cannot let you go alone.

That was a bad move.

Do you think so?

Why is she still staying outside the palace?

I only made a stepping stone.

It is not fun to let the other know your entire plan.

Being too complicated...

is not fun either.

Does she irritate you a lot?

I shall remove her soon, so do not worry.

Please hurry.

It is getting hard to hold in.

I have brought him.

Good job.

Why did you release that butcher?

We searched through the butcher's,

but could not find a single piece of evidence...

that he is related to the flyer incident.

I cannot keep the innocent in prison. You know that.

Jung Ki Jun.

It has been a while.

The dethroned queen is alive?

The Princess has her jade ring.

The dethroned queen took that ring 10 years ago.

There is no way.

We saw her dead body.

But we could not check her face.

What if that dead body was not her?

What if she was not attacked by the wild animals?

Why did you come to think so?

I think...

Master Min has found her.

Do you mean the Princess' teacher?

Ever since he came back from his investigation,

they often meet in secret.

That brazen girl must be planning to bring her mother back in.

She wants to kick me out and put her mother on my seat.

The King must not...

He must never find out about this.

Eliminate both the Princess...

- and Master Min. - That is not important now.

If she is really alive,

we need to find out...

who saved her for what reason.

Have you been well?

It must have been tough to being wanted.

Why did you not come visit me earlier?

We have a lot to talk about.

Your Majesty, the Queen is here to see you.

Let her in.

What brings you here?

I heard you have not been sleeping well these days.

I brought lotus leaf tea.

I have had enough tea already. Leave it and go.

Is it because of the Princess?

I am very much concerned about her as well.

She is there to take a rest,

but I feel anxious to leave her outside like that.

I will guide and teach her.

Why do you not bring her into the palace now?

- My lady. - Yes, Your Majesty.

If you are that anxious and worried,

take this tea and have it yourself.

You may leave now.

I have a lot of work to deal with.

The way he looked at me...

was like a freezing wind.

I must have lost his favor that night. I am certain.

What should I do now?

What if he tries to stay away from me?

Your Highness.

It is today that the royal shaman mentioned.

- Where is my order? - It is coming.

- Enjoy. - Thanks.

Here. Thanks for the food.

- Excuse me. - What?

Let us go back.

Everyone must be worried by now.

Are you going to stay up all night like this?

You should go back.

You go.

Do you believe he would come back?

You know that he went with the guy with a scar.

Just report this to the Office of Investigation.

Whether he came back to see you or harm you, they might...

I cannot do that.

He will be killed if he gets caught.

I cannot put him in danger.

What if you get hurt?

What are you trying to do with a wanted person?

What do you know?

What do you know that you run your mouth?

I just do not want you...

to be in danger because of him.

I do not want you...

to be hurt anymore.

You were here.

We should go.

His Majesty is waiting.

She went to the bookstore with Master Gyun.

Why did they not take someone from the Office of Investigation?

They said they would be back soon.

They did not want to draw people's attention.

Why are they not back yet?

Is there really nothing between him and the Princess?

Last time, they were found in the same bed.

Stop that nonsense.

Your reckless words could jinx it.

But seriously! They are suspicious.

Shut it.

The talk about his becoming her husband is giving me a headache.

I do not care who she is. I will kick her out of our house.

Where did my Woo go?

My apologies, Your Majesty.

It is fine.

I am the one who is giving you trouble.

Please do not say that.

I am not sure if keeping her outside like this is a good idea.

Bring her in and move her marriage forward.

That will be...

the only way to protect her.

Hide all these 100 talismans in her bedroom.

Then His Majesty will care less about the Princess.

It will lead him to focus more on you.

This must not turn out to be another failure.

Since the Princess is outside,

this will be the perfect chance.

Hye Myung.

Mother.

Queen.

What are you doing in the Princess' room at this hour?

I missed her...

and thought visiting her room would make me feel better.

I see.

I guess you must have thought the same as we did.

We came because we missed her too.

Is that right?

It is surprising that we thought the same.

I will send you a message...

as soon as they are back. Please do not worry.

Father.

My apologies.

It is all my fault.

I will bring you in.

Come back to the palace.

Director Gyun.

Send her when everything is prepared.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What happened?

I told you already. We were at the Se Bookstore...

People from Office of Investigation went to the bookstore first.

What is it that you are hiding?

Tell me the truth.

I have...

nothing to say.

How is Her Highness?

She wants to be alone.

The Princess' lover?

I only read it in the flyer.

The guy's name is Min Yoo Hwan. He went missing three years ago...

while doing a secret investigation.

He went missing?

Yes, it is because he got caught taking bribes.

He must be still on the wanted list.

What do you know?

What do you know that you run your mouth?

I will bring you in.

Come back to the palace.

She went around until late in the night?

I forgave her for running away during her probation.

Now, she is getting more out of control.

Seeing how Master Gyun stayed quiet,

there must be a reason.

What is she up to?

I think we better hurry with her marriage.

If she has a husband,

she will have someone to lean on.

Then she will stop causing trouble.

Choosing her husband is not easy either.

They must put up someone on their side as her future husband.

The King visited Director Gyun's house today.

The Princess disappeared without a word again.

People from the Office of Investigation searched everywhere.

She must have lost her control, seeing someone she has been waiting.

Now,

it is time we show them what we prepared.

Where are you going?

Are you going to find him?

I need to meet him.

I do not know when I will be able to come out again.

This may be the last chance to meet him.

- Your Highness. - Please let me go.

Please.

The Princess will come back...

and I shall start looking for someone to be her husband.

There will be a ban of marriage...

throughout the nation until she gets married. Prepare for her wedding.

Your Majesty.

You will not need to look for the candidates.

What do you mean?

The Qing Dynasty...

has suggested a royal marriage with the Princess.

If Qing and Joseon become allies through a royal marriage,

it would be perfect for us.

He is known to be a competent person trusted by the Emperor.

It will be a great advantage for the nation...

if that kind of man becomes the Princess' husband.

Are you suggesting to send her abroad?

It is a good way to calm down...

people's anger against her.

Minister of Defense.

- That was out of line. - What?

Marriage is very important in one's life.

And it is the Princess' marriage.

Please consider this matter carefully.

It is not wrong to be careful,

but I am worried if she will miss the right timing.

Please...

think of the Princess.

I disapprove.

I cannot send her to Qing.

They seem to have something in mind...

seeing how they rushed her wedding with Qing.

I will never approve this.

I am worried...

about the tricks they will pull.

Why are they after the Princess?

So you could not convince him?

It was impossible to begin with.

Just...

ask him to do the husband selection.

It is not over yet.

It is just the beginning.

He insists on...

sending her to Qing.

Master Jung said he would find a way.

He could just send her...

to an island or to a countryside.

It is strange that he is trying to send her to the Qing.

Would he have another intention?
