Episode 7

Inside this residence...

I feel the presence of a King.

Did you know?

What is he doing here!

Aren't you Master Choi!

What are you waiting for! Get him!

- Yes, sir! - Stop!

I speak from my personal experience

he is Joseon's best fortune teller.

He has never been wrong before.

Now, speak again.

You say you feel the presence of a King?

This is nonsense from a foolish fortune teller!

Yes, that is what I've said.

Right here, in this residence, is the next King.

The heavens decide the next King.

Kings have a different presence!

I have felt that presence right here!

Sure, let us hear what our nation's best must stay.

Now, who has a king's presence?

Leave.

Jangdong Kim-Moon Family will kill you no matter what!

No, I will no longer run away.

Master, you said my destiny.

Wherever the path ends I will create my own path.

A lowly man like me, stares back at the dragon.

The person with the king's presence and born to rule our nation is

this child right here!

Jae-Hwang Lee The future Emperor Kojong

Why are you standing around!

Stop!

There is a child present!

Back down.

This heinous criminal has committed conspiracy, my Lord!

If he really conspired against the crown,

he must have had others to help him.

Who else is responsible for the crimes?

That is...

This man is the son of the Kyung Choi,

an executed enemy of the state!

My father paid for his crimes with his own life

and my family has lost all of it's respect and fortune!

The whole case was concluded without any evidence.

It is unfair!

You are... the son of Kyung Choi?

Kyung Choi...

I was once very close to your father.

Just because he has announced a King’s relative as the next king

During the Kim-Moon’s event,

does not warrant him to be imprisoned by the Kim family’s adopted son?

Additionally, the lieutenant couldn't provide any facts on

who conspired to do what exactly.

Is that so.

What should we do?

Hand him over to the royal guard for now.

I shall look into the situation.

You cannot!

This man has escaped from our prison!

How dare you!

You speak out of rank!

Follow your superior's orders.

Follow me.

My Princess.

How caring you are...

towards a state criminal.

Did you aid in...

his prison escape?

Think however you want.

You will never leave.

As long as I live,

you will never leave with him.

You must not forget that.

Is that true?

Yes, I'm certain!

You're saying Joseon's best fortune teller Master Choi found

the next king...

and performed the great bow In front of everyone?

Yes, exactly.

Goodness, gracious!

How can this be!

He bowed to the next king! This is crazy!

You're pretty...

- Stop making a fuss! - We have to spread this rumor!

Master Choi is so talented!

Get in line!

-The great bow! - He actually did it?

I am the son of Lord Kyung Choi.

Bong-Ryun!

What are you looking at?

No... nothing, sir.

The presence of a king...

Such a rootless rumor.

We are overwhelmed, Queen Mother.

I said find and use a fortune teller,

not find and get fooled by one.

I just needed someone to speak,

not someone to use their brains!

Yes, Ma'am, I will take care of him quietly.

Queen Mother, the princess is here.

I have not requested you, why are you here?

I was present during the incident.

I felt that I should tell you what I saw so I rushed over here.

Did you see something within that child as well?

Yes, I saw.

What are you speaking of...

Speak up! What did you see?

That child has...

great strength and enormous authority within him.

Is that... truly what you saw?

Without a single doubt?

Yes, with no doubt.

That child, Heungseon-gun's second son Jae-Hwang will live

with the burden of such greatness.

My apologies, grandmother.

In fact felt greatness,

but if it truly belongs to that child,

or if it belongs to another

I cannot be certain.

I do not know what to believe.

My Queen Mother summon Chun-Jung Choi!

Ask him and listen to him

and use him to your advantage!

Is it time to meet the king!

Come forth and show your respects, criminal.

Stop.

Seonjeonmugwan

Seonjeonmugwan The elite royal guard

If I take a single step out of line

they will immediately cut me down.

I, Chun-Jung of the Choi Family, humbly sit before you.

I have heard of your strange and outrageous actions.

Tell me why you have committed Hoksemumin

and for whom you did these things for.

Hoksemumin A person creating chaos in the world and deceiving citizens with delusions

My king, I have done...

everything to save your life.

How could a lowly criminal like yourself save me?

You are power and authority itself, living and breathing.

You take authority wield authority

and pass it down to your bloodline.

A man living to hold authority forever.

You are a true King.

I have traveled your country

to help your authority be passed onto the right predecessor.

So that your legacy will live forever.

I can cut out your smart tongue at any moment.

How can you be of help with such premonitions?

A smart rabbit digs 3 holes, Queen Mother.

Gyotosamgul A cunning rabbit digs 3 holes

You say you will prepare a second?

In fear of losing the second I will prepare a third.

I live to protect the king's legacy forever.

With this smart tongue.

Criminal Chun-Jung Choi.

Must return to his residence, stand by and abide the law.

This is the punishment I give you.

My sincere gratitude, my King!

My Lord.

After the incident I feel like there is a misunderstanding between us.

- Servant Jang! - Yes, sir.

You are taking horrible care of the house

I can hear mice squeaking under the floor.

My apologies I will improve my efforts.

When exterminating mice, you must kill it's offspring as well.

That way you can be sure to stop a bigger problem.

Do you agree, father?

Please understand, my Lord!

I do not know anything.

The fortune teller acted on his own!

Master Choi!

He seemed very useful.

My Lord! Please this is just a misunderstanding!

My Lord.

Please this is a misunderstanding...

My Lord.

Please this is a misunderstanding...

My Lord.

Please this is a misunderstanding...

My Lord.

Namyeon-gun’s grave Heungseon-Gun’s father

Jae-Hwang...

Do you know what I’ve done in order to

bury my father in the Jewangjiji of the Gayasan Mountains?

Jewangjiji A land blessed with producing future kings

I heard you burned down a temple that once stood here.

Exactly!

I’ve asked Buddha to move elsewhere!

This Jewangjiji is...

now mine, Heungseon’s!

It belongs to Heungseon!

That is not all,

I have defeated the ghosts that haunted

this place for 500 years.

Jae-Hwang,

After I’ve moved my fathers grave here

you were born a couple years later.

Yes?

My son Jae-Hwang,

you are born with

the King’s presence.

Father... how could I...

Do not worry,

I, your father, will always protect you.

I will guide you past the steep mountains

and the harsh waves,

You just

walk the road that I lay down for you.

And...

Always lower yourself and

wait for the right time,

do you understand?

The person with the king's presence and born to rule our nation is

this child right here!

My Lord. Please this is a misunderstanding...

My Lord.

Please this is a misunderstanding...

You're the girl from the pharmacy?

Our nursery for orphans has been threatened.

They say they will destroy it. Please, help.

I am the only person who can help

even if it's futile.

Give this to your mother.

She has great respect and posture. She is a well taught daughter of a noble.

Use this to help feed your family.

Do not refuse out of pride.

How do you feel, Master Choi?

About what?

You were this close to dying but suddenly you're back with the living.

I am a very likable person so I'm not surprised.

But 'Double rabid' his breath was very disgusting.

You're funny Master, very funny!

You alight? Are you drunk?

No, I'm just happy!

We can reopen our business

and get back to making a fortune!

Get off me!

What makes you think that?

What's that? A painting?

It is the Mirigyeon language.

Mirigyeon America

Mirigyeon?

Wow, that's weird.

Welcome.

How can I help you?

What? Why!

Why are you here!

See a ghost? You're a ghost!

Huh?

You...

Stop surprising me!

Why are you here Master Choi?

Changing professions?

No, just part time.

Fortune telling doesn't pay much... because of somebody...

What? Huh?

I was wondering if you can get something for me.

Just name it.

Here...

Here we have all sorts of Bangnaepum imported

into Hanyang illegally.

Bangnaepum Imported goods from foreign countries

What can I do for you?

My Princess!

Princess! Princess!

What is wrong?

A letter arrived!

A letter? From whom?

From Lord Chun-Jung Choi!

Dan-Ah, I must leave at once.

- Yes, Ma'am I'll get ready - No!

I will go by myself!

Huh?

I heard you went through hell for me.

No, I've been alright.

Are you sure, you're alright?

As long as you are here and alive I am alright.

I heard you sold all of your things to help me.

I will repay with this.

What is this?

Traveling soldiers, on their way back from Beijing

brought back this foreign weapon.

They call this a 'Musket'.

A musket?

I will teach you how to shoot.

You must practice your aim in order to use it properly.

I've shot one before.

When?

At the King's relative noble women gathering, once instead of a bow.

I was actually pretty decent.

Really?

You've tried once but you're pretty decent?

If that's true, you are capable to practice by yourself.

No!

I want to be taught by you, my Lord!

I... I mean...

It would be beneficial for the both of us... to practice our aim...

Alright, I will send for you again let's go practice.

Chun-Jung Choi... you little...

You couldn't stay away from Bong-Ryun.

In 15 days, steal my confession and bring it to a secret location.

Let's trade, my confession for your painting.

I've got you, you little rat!

Double rabid, Double rabid!

The confession...

I was just trying to hold on to it to protect it!

Do you know why the lieutenant kept you alive?

To hear what you and that Master Choi spoke of

I was ordered to pressure the last breath out of you.

[iQIYI Ver] CSTV E07 'Wind and Cloud and Rain' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

You see what you've done to my face?

I'll do the same to you and Master Choi.

Wait! Wait!

Wait! Wait! It looks hot...

Come on! I'm sorry...

What is the meaning of this?

Back off!

Dan-Ah, what's wrong?

My princess!

Open the door.

How dare you hinder a princess' path,

I've never seen such insolence.

Have you finally gone mad!

No, but my patience is slim.

What?

Ever since Chun-Jung's escape

I have felt the urge to kill whatever comes my way.

And you princess... are pouring oil into my flames.

What are you speaking of?

If I tell the royal palace about your actions

you will be punished severely.

Are you prepared?

Escort the princess!

Move!

I shall go on my own.

Dan-Ah, let's go

Yes, Ma'am.

Will it be alright?

Why did you let the princess leave...?

Chun-Jung will hear that I have captured the princess.

He will definitely try to do something. Watch him closely.

Yes, sir!

Double rabid was taken?

Yes, according to the guard they beat him and took him.

I knew he'd get caught he's as stupid as he looks.

He's been caught...

Getting back the confession will be difficult...

Is Master Choi here?

How may I help you?

You must follow me somewhere.

I am to stay at home it is the king's order.

It will be fine if I, a state policemen accompany you.

You must meet someone urgently.

Then I'm coming too.

Let's go.

Come in.

What is this?

A reward for your patience.

How graceful of you.

Why haven't you escaped?

My home's walls would have been easy to jump over.

I will not ruin my reputation as princess.

Or perhaps you are waiting for Chun-Jung Choi?

You want me to make a fuss?

The princess captured in a prosecutor's personal residence.

Do you wish all of Hanyang found out?

Is this a trap?

Or...

Your feelings?

Do not attempt to leave this home until I have allowed it.

Or else I will make sure you are unable to walk out again.

Good work.

I will speak with him alone you may leave.

You may not harm Master Choi. The King gave orders

to keep him safe and quiet at home.

Lord Young-Ha Jo also insists.

I understand.

Why do you think the worst.

Go on now.

Yes, Lord.

Do not worry too much.

I am sorry.

Wait! Please don't leave, don't go...

- Why! Let go! - Stay still!

- What are you doing? - Come at me.

Are you trying to kill me?

If it were up to me, I would have killed you right then and there

for disgracing me in front of all those people.

My intentions were never to insult you.

Is that so?

Your premonitions have spread all over the country.

Ha-Jeon Lee of Dojeonggung is not the next king.

The real king is Heoungseon-gun's child, Jae-Hwang Lee.

It seems Ha-Jeon Lee has been delusional!

If you are that angry

would killing me make a difference?

So will you kill me?

I am not like the Jangdong Kim-Moons.

I am a relative to the throne so I must be fair.

I will give you an opportunity to fight for your life.

You want Master to fight with Chi-Seong Yeon?

No, this is completely ridiculous...!

Master! Chi-Seong Yeon is a monster! Do not fight him!

Not with Chi-Seong Yeon...

I have heard a lot about you.

You have killed

more than 20 Russian soldiers alone by the Dumangang River.

Arasa Russia

You're know as 'The Wolf of Mt. Baekdu'

I am curious as to why you would become a guard dog.

I will tell you if you fight me and survive.

Come.

No...

I will not fight.

The great fortune teller afraid of his own death.

No, I will be accompanied by you so I am alright.

What?

The real reason you're trying to kill me is

because the government has my confession, right?

The confession is false.

The Lord has never conspired against the crown.

I am the only person to prove these statements

but you're trying to kill me?

You would say anything to live.

For what reason do you think the King pardoned me?

Why would the Queen Mother secretly have me guarded?

Who do you think wants me dead the most right now?

It is the Jangdong Kim-Moon Family.

If I am dead, Ha-Jeon Lee of Dojeonggung,

you will be easy to eliminate!

You still wish to kill me?

How dare you!

You have put Heungseon-gun's second son's reputation to

the skies by announcing his future.

Is he truly worthy to be king?

Speak!

Who is to be the next king!

The true king!

The true king is...

the person who survives.

I am here to clean up the table.

Take it, thank you.

- Wait - Yes?

There's no way to stop you right?

We're here anyways...

Let's at least look for the confession it could be here.

We can't pass up this opportunity.

If anything happens run for your life, alright?

- Hurry up! - Yes, Ma'am.

They say the princess is inside...

Use Heungseon-gun's son Jae-Hwang as your puppet.

The road to become a king invites all kinds of dangers

Send Jae-Hwang first use him as a shield.

Stay behind the shield, survive and become the king.

Before we do anything

you and I must find my confession that accuses us of conspiracy.

What a conniving mind.

Rather you like it or not, we are in the same boat.

Instead of killing Joseon's finest fortune teller,

why not use him to your advantage?

Wake up, wake up!

Are you alright? Can you see me?

My Princess...

How did you end up here like this!

My Lord... I have something for my Lord...

My...

Don't worry for now regain your health.

I will find help and get you out of here.

Lord... Lord Chun-Jung...

Hey!

Hey!

Hey you!

I've never seen you before how did you get permission to go in?

The household caretaker asked me to...

The caretaker elder isn't here right now.

You're suspicious.

How uselessly intuitive you are...

What?

Nothing, take this.

Tell your master.

I am leaving now and to send home my subject.

Grab that women!

Someone gets her!

Get that woman!

What have you talked about with Ha-Jeon Lee?

Nothing much. His dreams as a child.

Huh? You weren't speaking of the future and what's to come?

He just spoke of how he was born for greatness, starting from his dreams.

He's just a chatty person.

Yeah I bet all noblemen just sit around all day saying, 'Confucian says...'

All their manly vigor spent on their words.

Just talking and talking...

How is it that you never lose in these situations?

First you convince the king?

Now you convince Ha-Jeon Lee who was trying to kill you moments ago?

I did not convince them,

I merely told them what they wanted to hear.

I don't think there is a single man or woman that you cannot seduce.

Except for one.

Me, Pal-Young.

Because I seduce you!

Let us be together forever.

- Shut up - I love you.

Use Heungseon-gun's son Jae-Hwang as your puppet.

Stay behind the shield, survive and become the king.

Before we do anything

you and I must find my confession that accuses us of conspiracy.

Chun-Jung Choi...

There will be a conference with senior noblemen without the king's relatives.

Make sure to bring the confession safely.

Yes, sir.

What are you waiting for!

Master Choi out on business

Master is not here today we are very sorry.

The Thousand-Character Classic.

The Thousand-Character Classic.

The Thousand-Character Classic.

Eat this while you play.

How pretty.

Apologies for intruding, we will leave

once we find a new nursery. I am sorry.

It's alright.

Master Choi is trying to find a new place so just sit tight.

Thank you, Madam.

Older sister.

Anything, little sister.

Sister we are here!

Welcome Master.

Rice soup, rice soup.

Welcome, Master Choi!

Master Choi!

Hey, you're working hard.

Oh right, right.

A letter came for you Master Choi.

A letter?

I bet it's another rich nobleman seeking Master's readings!

The person with the king's presence and born to rule our nation is

this child right here!

Master Choi, he seemed very useful.

My Lord! Please this is just a misunderstanding!

My Lord!

Please this is just a misunderstanding!

Master Choi out on business

Who are...?

Oh! Look who it is! You're that lady from before!

You look a bit casual... What brings you here?

About time you came! We were waiting for you.

What can we help you with this time?

Although we are lowly people we are prepared to lay down our lives.

Pardon me, I am in a hurry.

Is Master Choi here?

No, he left earlier.

To where? To meet whom?

He didn't say who he was meeting but...

Somewhere in the Inwangsan Mt...

Seokpa?

Guksadang, Usi (5-7pm.) with Seokpa (Heungseon-gun)

Guksadang Shrine near the Inwangsan Mt.

Usi (Between 5 and 7 pm.)

Seokpa Heungseon-gun’s nickname

I must... I must leave now.

Miss!

Please move! Move!

What's wrong Master Choi?

My Lord! Pardon me but let me ask first.

How long are you going to live like this?

How long can a tiger lower it's head and live on?

Jangdong Kim-Moon rules the lands.

Are you comfortable living with that said?

I am not.

This world belongs to the Kim-Moons who want me dead.

If I am to survive I must run away for the rest of my life.

If I don't like that I must destroy and rebuild this world.

I wish to save this country from

one family's tyranny over others

and monopoly of all the riches.

And to seat the real King on the throne.

Lord Heungseon-gun, will you not join me?

Sure.

Jangdong Kim-Moon must be destroyed.

They are the root of all evil.

But before...

that I have decided

to destroy you first.

that I have decided

to destroy you first.

I know as a fact, you're actions are

guided by the Jangdong Kim-Moon Family.

You are mistaken.

The reason my children and I have survived is

because we have avoided the sweet scent of power

The seductive calling for power always stabs you in the back.

We have always avoided such seductions.

But you have ruined everything.

You have given the Kim-Moon Family

a reason to harm the king's relatives.

You will not listen no matter what I have to say.

Your tongue may trick the king the Queen Mother

and even Ha-Jeon Lee.

But!

You cannot fool me.

Stop!

You cannot, Lord Heungseon-gun. You cannot do this!

Princess Hwa-Ryun how did you...

Move aside!

Move!

If I move you die.

I've seen it I will not move.

Move.

I will not.

Move!

I will not!

Move!

My Lord...

Bong-Ryun!

Bong-Ryun!

Bong-Ryun!

Bong-Ryun!
