[Episode 5]

Why am I out on the street?

Gil Dong has appeared!

Capture Gil Dong!

Gil Dong?

What's going on?

Ah.

Ah.

Huh? Uh...

Why does my voice sound like this?

Is there something wrong with my ears?

What?

Why is my face...

Why is my voice...

Why am I...

Ouch.

What...

What's going on?

How long is this supposed to last?

Why won't I wake up? Why isn't this a dream?

Why on earth...

Why am I in the royal aide's body?

Let's go back to where I was.

I need to find myself.

But, this place is...

Please inform Her Majesty that it's an urgent matter regarding my wedding.

Yes.

May I ask you something?

Huh?

We meet again.

Since she said 'again,' does that mean we know each other?

Good to see you.

You remember me this time?

Did he not recognize her last time?

Of course, I remember.

I got a bit lost for a moment. Where exactly am I?

Well, it's the palace.

Ah, the palace.

That's right, the palace.

The palace? You mean this is the royal palace?

The palace where the king resides?

Why am I in the palace of all places?

I don't know the layout, and I don't know how to get out.

You said you know me, right?

Then, could you help me?

Oh...

Yes, since you helped me last time, I'll gladly help...

Thank you.

Where does this passage lead?

It leads to the Hyeopsaeng Gate, that way.

I'm sorry, but we need to hurry.

I don't have much time.

Okay.

What an unruly pair of colts.

But isn't it strange?

That man looks just like my son, no matter how I look at him.

My apologies.

Summon Officer Seo.

Thanks to you, I got out safely.

Your hands...

I was in such a hurry that I acted rudely.

Seeing you enter so late, something serious must have happened at the Police Bureau.

It would seem so.

I'll go alone from here.

Thank you for today.

Hae Rim.

That's my name.

I'm from the Sin family.

My brother is the Chief of Hyeminseo.

You're the Chief's sister?

You don't resemble each other.

You look lovely though.

Then, I'll get going.

Please remember my name next time.

How did you...

Has the message I sent already arrived?

No, it's just that...

Pardon?

I mean, I had business nearby.

I threw them into the well, yet they found them already.

They belong to Gil Dong.

Today, the former Chief Inspector was murdered by Gil Dong.

Is that so?

Two hours ago,

he came to spy

on the former Chief Inspector's house and then fled.

It seems he was injured near here.

Did I bleed that much?

When escape became difficult,

he discarded the butcher's mask and uniform,

and he likely slipped away in his true face.

I must have been unconscious for a while. Did I wake up?

Or did someone move me?

Royal aide Kang, listen carefully.

Gil Dong has been framed.

Framed?

Think about it.

Last winter, when the hoodlums of Unjong Street were caught stealing silk,

they lied that Gil Dong stole it for them.

I remember.

The merchant remembered one of the hoodlums' faces,

so Gil Dong was cleared of that accusation.

And that's not all.

Wasn't there a rumor that Gil Dong abducted the Chief Censor's daughter-in-law?

It turned out she ran away with her tutor, whom she was having an affair with.

Someone used Gil Dong's name again.

I never thought they'd borrow that name for murder.

Anyway, focus solely on evidence for now.

Don't be fooled by that forged blood letter.

Understood.

I never filed a separate report on those incidents just now,

yet you know all the details.

Especially, the matter of the blood letter.

I suppose I heard them in passing.

Is that so?

Oh.

Were there any reports of someone found collapsed nearby?

There were none.

By the way,

have you been drinking?

It would seem so.

I heard today is Physician Hong's wedding.

That's the reason, right?

I should be going.

Where are you going?

- I'll explain later. - Hey.

If you go around without Officer Seo...

Grand Prince!

So, this is where I am.

It seems a physician has already come?

Who brought me here?

Let's keep this to ourselves.

Even if we say the new bride was found passed out outside the house,

it'll only draw unwanted attention.

Alright, understood.

It's fortunate you found her.

What was she doing there?

- Goodness. - Jeez.

Was she trying to run away because her husband died?

Oh, dear.

You, keep that mouth shut.

Hey.

Wake up.

Why won't I wake?

My heart's beating.

Is there no one inside?

Oh, my.

Could I be an empty shell?

Is anyone there?

Is there no one inside?

What? Did I come back?

So,

it really was a dream.

If our bodies were back to normal, would you be seeing my face?

Who are you?

Are you the owner of this face I'm wearing?

Hong Eun Jo?

What on earth...

Did our souls really switch?

Does that even make sense?

Does it hurt a lot?

How did you injure your head?

Oh.

Well... I went out and the night path was dark, so I took a bad fall.

How did you get here?

Well.

I collapsed again the moment I opened my eyes.

Just before that, former Chief Inspector's servants came.

So, he doesn't know I'm Gil Dong.

Wow.

My own face feels so strange.

I feel the same.

First, let's find a way to switch back.

We need to get out of here,

can you move?

Dawn is breaking.

Go and rest for a bit.

Father will be out soon.

I brought the meal as you instructed

and told her to eat and get some rest.

Well, then I'll get going.

His complexion was that of a man on the brink of death.

If this keeps up, it'll spell disaster for our Eun Jo.

She might as well die.

If you disappear without a word, it could cause unnecessary trouble.

Tell the male servant you're visiting your family for a short while.

Your family?

Then, where are we?

Don't tell me this is your in-laws' house?

Darn it.

Of all places to end up...

As of yesterday, this is my home.

But, why did they change me into mourning clothes?

Did someone die in this house?

Oh. Well...

Well...

Someone's coming.

Shh!

We might get caught, so I'll hide for now.

Jeez.

Why did it have to be that guy?

What business do you have this early in the morning?

No, not that.

What brings you here?

I came to collect a body, but looks like I came too early.

This is bad... Why is he here?

Body?

Why would you look for a body... here?

The mourned body would be laid behind the incense table.

Why don't you check the men's quarters?

Is that supposed to be a joke?

No.

I mean, not at all.

You must've taken the wrong way. You should hurry along.

I almost got disappointed.

I thought you might die before I could even step on you.

Hey.

I don't

understand the context of this conversation.

Is that

something a husband should say to his new bride?

Husband?

What do I do?

You ought to be cherishing your wife, not the other way around.

What? Step on her?

Looks like you two had quite the spat last night.

Who are you calling 'husband'?

Who else?

You, right in front of me.

This is driving me crazy.

Your jokes have gone too far.

What jokes? In what context?

Are you insane?

The husband you're talking about passed away last night.

Passed away?

If I'm in mourning clothes for my husband...

Then, who are you?

Answer me.

The grandchild of the deceased.

Grandchild?

What brings you all the way here at this hour?

Would it make sense if I said it's to oversee the household member?

So, back then...

Hold on.

If he's old enough to have grandchildren,

he must be at least sixty or seventy.

Does this marriage make any sense?

Have you truly lost your mind?

Or have you finally come to your senses?

Well...

I'd say the latter... perhaps?

It seems I was briefly overwhelmed by shock

and lost my senses momentarily.

Thanks to you, I fully grasp the situation now, Grandchild.

Oh, and...

I really wish you could forget that

I just thought of you as my husband.

It's deeply shameful that I saw you that way, even for a moment.

You seem to have regained your senses,

but what's with this attitude?

Young master!

Members of the Dongbang came to offer their condolences.

Go.

The chief mourner shouldn't be away from the funeral for too long.

You there.

How are you feeling?

Do you remember being carried here yesterday?

Roughly, yes.

Since I'm a woman,

there's no need for me to receive condolence guests.

Throughout the mourning period, make sure no one enters this place.

I'll be visiting my parents for a while. Act like you didn't see me.

Understood.

Come out, Hong Eun Jo.

Let's climb the wall and leave.

I can't bear to stand in this house even for a moment.

How far are we going?

No one passes through this path.

Let's talk here.

The marriage story is as you heard earlier.

The old master of that house was my husband,

and he passed away right after our wedding yesterday.

It must sound absurd to you,

but for someone of my status, such things are common.

I'm sorry for lying that the second son was my husband.

I thought it would be better for both of us.

That way, you'd give up faster

and it would cause me less trouble.

Why haven't you said anything this whole time?

We can't solve this unless you say something.

I don't know what to say.

I've thought about it all the way here,

and still nothing comes to mind.

We're nothing to each other,

so I can't even express this rage.

Nor can I recklessly condemn the choice you might have struggled with.

I also refuse to pretend to agree with your claim

that weddings like this are common.

The only thing driving me mad right now

is that this isn't my body,

so I can't even storm in there and drag you out.

So, first I need to get back into my own body.

It sounds like you mean to do exactly as you said once you're back to normal.

You heard correctly.

I'm also thinking about how to bring down the family that forced this wedding,

and whether that would finally ease this anger.

What angers me most is that,

not knowing any of this,

I wished you well

and foolishly sent you those embroidered shoes.

So, let me say this in advance.

From now on, I won't hold back,

and I won't hesitate for a single moment.

Let's end that talk here.

You didn't

have to do it at all.

You could have told me.

I didn't feel any reason not to accept it.

And it wasn't pitiful enough to need help.

It's unfortunate that

he passed away on his wedding day while ill.

But thanks to that, I thought all I'd have to do

was live in luxury in that house as a guest lady.

Until suddenly our souls switched.

So, we must return to our original bodies immediately, right?

You enjoy a life of ease,

and I go on living like the scoundrel I am.

That's what it takes for each of us to honor what we've committed to.

Let's agree to that for now.

A Meom, are you okay?

If His Excellency has passed away,

what will happen to our Eun Jo?

She became a widow overnight, that's what.

Can't we bring her back?

She's married into another family.

She's part of that household now.

She's destined to die in that house no matter what. How could we?

Unless she flees far away.

Flee?

I've never read about this in any book.

Haven't even heard it in legends or folktales.

No matter how I think about it,

this isn't possible for humans.

You mean the heavens did this?

Then, is it divine punishment?

It's clearly not a blessing.

I won't get angry.

Please be completely honest.

Have you done anything seriously wrong lately?

No.

Even if I did wrong, why should you share the punishment?

This is about why it had to be you and me.

What's your birth date?

The Gye Hae day of the Gyeong Ja month in the Byeong O year.

It's completely different from mine.

If we're going the superstition route, let's go all in.

Follow me.

Jeez.

You're a court physician.

Is there no medical explanation?

Quiet, or it won't work.

Alas!

There's a virgin ghost inside you.

Huh?

Can you see me?

Are you really seeing something?

It's like a man knows a woman's heart better than a woman herself.

You...

You're a playboy, aren't you?

Get up.

Allow me to perform an exorcism.

I'll drive the spirit out!

Hey! I have no intention of driving this woman out of my body!

How about just try the ritual?

If the soul leaves the body, we can attempt something, right?

What if it never returns? We may have to send it roaming the afterlife.

Maybe it's the body that switched,

not the soul, right?

Then, shouldn't we use our bodies?

Hold it reverently, with sincerity.

Feel anything?

Nothing at all.

You said we should use our bodies.

What could possibly happen just by holding hands?

So, what now?

No personal feelings here.

What personal feelings?

♫ At some point, we started looking ♫

♫ At the same place together ♫

You should show your sincerity too.

Huh?

Yeah.

♫ Even when I try to hide it, it grows bigger ♫

♫ I want to hold you, loving you ♫

♫ I don't want to let you go for even a moment ♫

♫ Every day filled with you and me ♫

♫ Will shine beautifully, I believe ♫

Do you feel anything?

Yeah, quite strongly.

Was my heart always this loud?

Are you kidding me?

It sounds nice.

Enjoy it fully by yourself when you return.

Seems it's not a physical connection either.

When exactly did we switch?

Last night, around curfew?

If that's the time, will we come back?

Was it all merely a one-night nightmare?

It's curfew!

The nightmare...

Seems to be getting longer.

Jeez, darn it.

Earlier, you said this wasn't something a human can do, right?

Then, it won't work no matter how hard we try.

Are we just going to live like this?

With no way of knowing when we'll return?

You are here!

Your quarters are in chaos right now.

Ah, again, you...

I'll shut up.

Your face has already said it all.

- What? - Anyone can see I'm the one dragged out.

Why are you pouring criticism on me?

It's this clingy fool you should scold.

This fool?

Have you forgotten whose mouth that is now?

Can't one speak the truth?

Well...

Ignore him and talk to me.

- What? - I mean,

- talk to me. - Alright.

The palace is in chaos right now.

Why the palace?

The Queen Dowager orders you to enter the palace immediately.

Why the Queen Dowager?

Tell Her Majesty that

he cannot come due to circumstances.

This is not your place to intervene.

He only takes orders from your mouth. You speak.

You!

She's refused all meals since last night.

She said she won't eat anything until you arrive.

Because of me?

Then, who else could it be?

What kind of mess did he cause?

This lacks dignity, class, and justification.

And it just has to be when I'm in this body.

Fine.

Go ahead first and tell them he'll enter the palace.

Well...

I suppose you should go.

Grand Prince.

Grand Prince?

Yes, you.

Grand Prince.

So, you mean,

you're the second son of the late king?

Yes.

And the younger brother of the current king?

Correct.

That means

you're a prince of Joseon?

You seem quite shocked.

Because I'm as handsome as the rumors say.

You woke up in the palace, after all.

I figured you'd be able to guess it.

Why so quiet all of a sudden?

I don't know what to say either.

The reason the words I wanted to speak keep vanishing is

probably because I'm intimidated by the dignity of the 'Grand Prince.'

Come on, this isn't like you.

I'm recalling every word I've ever said to you.

Could any be treasonous?

If so, will you grant me time to apologize?

Just be your usual self.

Meaning I should keep it up until I lose my head?

Are you mocking me?

Until this very day,

I've never even met anyone near the royal family.

And one day, suddenly facing someone at the very center,

the pinnacle of the royal family,

wouldn't anyone be flustered?

That's why I kept it hidden.

Everyone gets awkward and uncomfortable.

Not because the title 'Grand Prince' is fabulous.

Consider this an order now.

Treat me exactly as before.

No refusal allowed.

When I woke up in the palace,

I thought you'd come as a royal aide to report to the office.

Who'd mistake the palace for their home?

There are fewer than a dozen such people in all of Joseon.

More than ten, I'd say.

I deceived you too, so I don't have much to say.

But it's still a problem.

If you don't want to, refuse.

Wait,

how can you say something so unfilial when your mother starves?

I'm not particularly filial anyway.

So, you're telling me

to let this nation's Queen Dowager starve to death?

It's not that I'm refusing, I'm asking for an alternative.

Dawn is coming soon, hurry.

Just do as instructed.

First, fold your hands behind your back,

keep your back straight,

and wear an utterly arrogant expression.

What?

Didn't you say he'd enter the palace?

There he comes.

So, that's the Queen Dowager.

Don't be intimidated, just do as instructed.

Everything that comes out of my mouth is not really me speaking.

Your Majesty grows more stubborn with age.

Why would you stop eating like that?

Don't mar that lovely face.

Where did you sleep the past two nights?

Unbelievable. She didn't even flinch at my rudeness?

Well, somewhere where the sky is my roof and the wind my blanket.

And was that woman your blanket too?

Woman?

You never told me about any woman. Who is she talking about?

I don't know.

If you don't know, who does?

I saw it myself last night.

You were cheerfully holding a young lady's hand

in the palace courtyard.

Your Majesty, that is a misunderstanding.

That woman has nothing to do with me.

I... I only met her that day.

No, not the first time... maybe the second?

Don't get flustered like that.

Maintain your dignity.

I shall meet and question her myself.

Which family does that young lady belong to?

Deny it!

I really don't know.

Must I drag every noble lady of Joseon before you until you deign to speak?

Tell her you had one night together and don't even know her name.

We had one night together and don't even know her name.

What... what did you say?

Are you saying you had a free-spirited fling

like those punks?

- 'Because I'm a punk.' - Because I'm a punk.

What was that?

You scoundrel!

I deeply regret corrupting your son.

No, that's not it.

I apologize for being a punk.

A Grand Prince should

set an example for gentlemen, yet...

Jeez.

Hey.

Uh.

What are you doing? Summon the royal physician now!

Even though you weren't well, you stopped eating, causing all this...

Grand Prince said that

and was terribly worried about you.

I could memorize every word he utters.

Ah... yes, I said that.

Are you alright?

Take your hands away!

You scoundrel!

Do you think it's fine to spend one night with a noble girl and leave?

I never taught you such disgraceful conduct.

If you have any respect for me,

you will at least feign remorse.

I will definitely do that.

You're a court lady I haven't seen before.

Me?

I recently joined His Highness the Grand Prince's household.

What is your name?

I am called Hong Si.

Hong Si?

What of it?

[Mourning]

I offer my condolences for your grandfather's passing.

This is what happens when we bring the wrong woman into the household.

If you want a drink before leaving, come out.

Jae Yi.

No need for drinks.

Over there.

She's Eun Jo's mother.

Could you let her meet Eun Jo secretly?

I kept quiet, claiming she was visiting her parents.

Oh, no.

Because of me, you crossed the Queen Dowager for nothing.

Forget it.

This has been going on for a long time.

We can't stay together forever.

I, too, must return to your in-laws

by tomorrow morning, right?

Since it's the mourning period, staying in the annex was fine,

but tomorrow is the funeral procession.

I'll have to show up, right?

Can you do that for me?

You said you must accept it.

I don't know what it is about this marriage that you had to do that.

Can you stay here on your own then?

I have to.

If we want to preserve our daily lives and find a way to switch back.

Then, we'll have to stay up all night together again today.

Who is she?

But, why is she pretending to be a court lady?

What have they been up to in that room for six hours?

- Exactly. - Anyone who speaks of it outside this place

will face severe punishment by His Highness' order.

This is enough about the people around you.

I'll handle the rest with my brilliant improvisation.

Well, you know...

Anything else you want me to keep in mind?

I couldn't bring myself to say it before.

What?

About our bodies.

Let's act like we never saw anything.

Oh.

You suddenly want to play coy?

We've already seen everything.

No, I saw nothing.

It's not that I saw it.

Because it's what you saw, Your Highness, not me.

It sounds like you saw everything in detail.

And my body too.

You aren't the one touching it.

It's my hand that touches it, understood?

Well.

It's my own memory, after all.

Hey.

I'm confident, though.

You know, don't you?

I didn't see it.

I'm telling you, my eyes didn't see it.

Call Dae Chu.

What?

Are you avoiding the question now?

I should walk from here.

There are people watching, you see.

Go ahead.

Dae Chu!

No.

Officer Seo.

You must stay constantly by His Highness' side.

Check if he's trembling with fear,

see if he's flustered anywhere,

and make sure he's eating on time.

Observe if he cries alone at night...

or not.

Watch carefully.

I don't need advice, that's my job.

Good that you know.

Matters of affection between a man and a woman

are not for others to meddle in.

But if you exploit or harm His Highness the Grand Prince,

know that I'll intervene then.

Have you been acting cool behind my back all this time?

What?

I almost fell for you.

Wait.

Everyone, stop thinking.

[Young master]

[Mother]

Mother! Young master!

What brings you here?

Where have you been wandering, you silly girl?

The young master speaks before thinking.

So, ignore him even if he's rude.

He isn't cruel. He's kind.

Ah, you're eager to get scolded, aren't you?

How did you know that was my wish?

What?

It's enough that she made it back safely, young master.

I was visiting an ill patient and just returning.

You must have worked hard worrying about that.

Anyway, you just meddle everywhere.

Do you want to play physician now of all times?

The one who have passed are gone,

and the living must go on, right?

Without even a hint of sadness...

You look like you're waiting for the old master of this house to die?

See? A Meom. This girl isn't answering.

Oh, I see it now.

So, that explains why you lied about the groom

and went through with the wedding.

You had foreseen his death date, huh?

No wonder you married despite A Meom's opposition.

Did I

even keep that a secret from the family?

Now you're denying it as well?

Be honest. You wanted to play the role of the mistress of the annex, didn't you?

Yes, that's right.

A... A Meom, let's go.

We were worrying for nothing.

Jeez.

Let's talk for a moment.

Her whole world is worrying about me and family.

So, I went against your wishes and married?

Once you make up your mind, you're impossible to sway.

I knew I couldn't stop you, so I didn't even try a second time.

I know it well.

You raised your daughter to be unyielding.

Looking back, I used that excuse not to restrain you more.

I'm such a shameless mother.

I truly don't understand it.

What should your daughter

be feeling now?

Poor thing.

There's no way you could know.

You buried all your feelings inside.

Saying 'it's okay' was how you hid it all.

Your Highness.

I made sure that she returned.

You must be exhausted. Take a rest.

Well...

While tracking Your Highness, I discovered something.

Do you know who that woman married,

by any chance?

So, he found out after all.

Really, quite unintentionally.

I really wished he hadn't found out.

Your Highness, are you alright?

I'm fine.

I must be fine.

So you're saying I always come last?

It's all my fault.

I taught you to endure and persevere.

I'm sorry, Eun Jo.

I feel like the person I must protect

is you.

No, don't say that.

Take this.

It's money I borrowed from the official at the Royal Bureau of Literary Affairs.

Why give me this money?

As you said, you are the concubine of a powerful family,

so you'll live comfortably without worrying about meals or money.

But Eun Jo.

Even living well,

even living really well,

if a time comes when you regret it and want to run away,

take this and go.

I asked around, and they say if you go to Ming, no one can catch you.

Don't think about His Excellency or me.

Just go.

Promise me that one thing, okay?

If I'm the beautiful daughter you knew, I would have made this promise.

But now,

I will make a different promise.

What is it?

I'll make sure you live without a single hardship.

How is it going?

We used the name of the thief Gil Dong.

Gil Dong?

He's the thief who ransacked the former Chief Inspector's granary.

Even before his death, the former Chief Inspector mentioned him,

and expressed great resentment towards that thief.

No one will suspect anything.

Heuk Geom.

What about the Police Bureau's movements?

We're investigating those around the former Chief Inspector.

Don't leave it to anyone else. Keep watch yourself.

Yes.

Is this the Joseon you want?

You wretch!

Aren't you even afraid of heaven?

If the King finds out,

you and your three generations will be executed by slow dismemberment.

If you wish to spare your life,

hand over half of that Joseon to me.

Desire, you see,

brings ruin when held by a fool.

So, engrave it carefully on your soon-to-decay bones.

During the day, I might run into other royals.

[Palace Layout] I should at least get to know the layout

while all are asleep.

[Jang Geum Nok, Suk Yong] If it's Suk Yong,

so she is the Geum Nok I've only heard rumors about in the streets.

That's the smell of medicinal herbs?

Where is it coming from?

I've never smelled this before.

Burning and inhaling herbs can relieve ailments,

but filling the building so the smoke seeps outside is dangerous.

Who devised this treatment?

Gangnyeongjeon Hall.

It's His Majesty's bedchamber.

[His Majesty. You must never cross paths with him]

Under no circumstances should you meet His Majesty.

No.

Even good intentions must consider the time, place, and people.

[Gangnyeongjeon Hall]

G-Grand Prince!

Shh.

No one must know I came here.

Yes.

I mean, the remedy being prepared in the bedchamber now...

The sound...

My apologies, Your Majesty.

Is he suffering from boils?

Yes.

What is it?

Please, be quiet! If we keep this up, His Majesty will wake up.

Your Majesty?

You tried to inspect the herbs?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I was out for a walk and...

Your Majesty, we need to ventilate the smoke immediately.

You should all help ventilate the room.

You all, hurry.

What are you doing?

Your Majesty.

Any remedy, when overused, inevitably leads to side effects.

Are you trying to override the royal physician's prescription?

I wouldn't dare.

However, from experience, boils are

best treated with frequent consumption of water infused with bezoar and honeysuckle,

topical application of ointment, and exposure to fresh air.

So, instead of relying solely on new herbs,

I merely suggested continuing the original remedy alongside it.

You seem to know my condition quite well.

Is that why you look disappointed?

Because it's not a fatal illness?

Pardon?

That was not my intention.

I sensed Your Majesty's distress from the thick smoke.

What?

Boils may seem like a minor wound, easily dismissed,

but the patient's daily life crumbles bit by bit because of that wound.

And if it drags on, it consumes their very life.

Physical wounds of the body

inevitably inflict wounds on the patient's mind as well.

Wishing to lighten that burden even a little,

I overstepped my bounds and meddled without knowing my place.

It seemed so sincere, so I almost got choked up.

Leave.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Meeting His Majesty...

Does His Majesty have a strained relationship with the Grand Prince?

Better return to my quarters.

Already curfew hour...

It's been chaotic that I haven't even thought about the Gil Dong matter.

Has the real culprit been caught?

I'm under confinement, so I can't even leave the palace myself.

What should I do?

It's not Gil Dong?

Wasn't it written in the blood letter?

We're investigating those who held grudges against the criminal.

Did you call my husband a criminal?

His death was unjust enough.

And you treat him like a criminal?

You scoundrels!

You escort her back to her residence.

Yes.

Let go, you scoundrels.

Gil Dong?

Chase after him!

Gil Dong, you scoundrel!

No killing. Capture him alive.

- My lord. - Report this to His Highness immediately.

Yes.

The family of Chief Secretary Im Sa Hyeong?

How did I end up seeing the secrets of Joseon's most cunning official?

Lady Suk Yong?

What brings you here dressed like that?

It seems Prince Do Wol has discovered the nature of the medicinal herbs.

Prince Do Wol?

I'm telling you, it's true.

All the incense has been removed.

What's going on?

There's no reason for them to mention my royal title.

- Oh. - They say Gil Dong was captured.

- Gil Dong was arrested by the Police Bureau. - Gil Dong?

Goodness, I'm so lost about what to do.

Eun Jo!

Eun Jo.

Are you returning from the funeral?

How are you feeling? Are you alright?

Yes, but Gil Dong was captured?

I just heard that myself.

Yesterday, Gil Dong was hit by an arrow.

What?

Wait, Eun Jo...

You say His Highness has disappeared again?

I came in because he wasn't coughing, but he was already gone.

The case is closed.

- Yes. - Yes.

Wait, hold on.

Physician Hong.

Was this man Gil Dong?

You're saying His Highness neatly folded his bedding and night garments?

It's not just that.

He... cleaned the room.

This is serious.

Find His Highness immediately!

What happened?

You startled me.

Where have you been?

To the Royal Clinic.

To prepare the herbal tonic for the Queen Dowager.

What?

I thought doing that might ease my guilty conscience.

How did you manage to fold the bedding and night clothes?

Since I was already awake.

You should have called us.

Did you dress yourself in court attire too?

Yes, I wanted you to sleep more.

If we've done something wrong, please tell us, Your Highness.

What is this?

Summon the royal physician. Now.

Why are you all acting like this?

Your Highness.

Officer Park has come to the Police Bureau.

Has the message already arrived?

He was hit by an arrow and died instantly at the scene.

Gil Dong is dead?

What about the fake Gil Dong?

It's been dealt with.

See it through to the end yourself.

Understood.

It's done.

Rest well, Gil Dong.

- Let's go. - Yes.

They might show up to retrieve the fake Gil Dong's body.

You even placed them carefully inside.

This is...

Did I do that? I placed them carefully?

I can't live like this.

What am I supposed to do now?

Did I fail to read the mood and come in too early?

Yeah, from now on, count to ten at the door before entering.

The look in your eyes is wavering terribly.

What do you want?

I'm telling you not to try anything.

Grand Prince seems to be subtly interfering with my work.

You, attendant to the Grand Prince, halt.
