[Episode 97]

I brought the tonic, Milady.

You can ask a nurse to do it, but you bring it yourself every time.

I am touched by your devotion.

I heard all about what is happening with this physician named Heo Jun.

Her Ladyship is curious about the affair.

I heard that Kong-bin is trying to protect Heo Jun.

Why is that?

He cured the brother of Lady Kong-bin when he had facial paralysis.

Doctor Heo was made the de-facto physician for the two princes.

I heard he has a very dark past. How can she protect him knowing this?

She could mislead the king to make wrong decisions.

It wasn't wise to allow such a man to care for the two princes.

Those at the state tribunal say Heo is not likely to go unpunished.

Milady, Doctor Heo is a very skilled doctor.

Although he committed a serious offense, he has accomplished much.

Please help him to receive a pardon.

What are you saying?

If he is the physician of Lady Kong-bin, he pushed you out of your position.

Yet you want us to help him?

You are too kind-hearted, but I believe he should be punished.

How dare he work as a royal physician when he has a tainted past?

He simply must not be forgiven.

You wanted to see me?

Go to the state tribunal and check on Doctor Heo's condition.

I'm sure he is utterly worn out.

Yes, sir.

I'll go in your place.

Good thinking, sir.

I'm sure you'll feel much better when you see him in such a mess.

When I think of what he did to you...!

What are you talking about?

You think I'm as narrow-minded as you?

Don't judge me by your petty standards.

You think I can't read your filthy mind?

I bet you are really thrilled inside.

Open it.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Don't get up.

Your body is very weak.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

Doctor Yang is very worried.

A weak spirit will result in a weak body. So brace yourself.

This is your end, but a new start for me.

Since there isn't anything new, let's wrap it up.

What are you going to say to the king?

He deserves to be executed or get a hundred lashes,

but he found the cure for the plague and cared for the prince.

He should be given leniency.

Let us strip him of his rank and place him in exile.

If you take his work away, that is just as bad as taking his life.

Even if we demote him, can't he continue to work?

I also think it would be a shame to lose such a good doctor.

But he hid his crimes for 10 years. He must be held accountable.

Sir, someone is here from Jinsuk Palace.

Let him in.

What's the matter?

There is an urgent patient at Jinsuk Palace, sir.

Urgent patient? You mean one of the princes?

It is Lady Kong-bin.

I shall be going, Milords.

Milady! Milady!

Where is the doctor?

We sent a message, so someone will come.

Milady! Milady!

Milady, wake up! Milady!

Milady, please wake up!

Milady! Milady!

Milady!

What's the matter?

The lady is having severe chest pains.

Milady! Milady!

Milady...

Milady.

You will lose your rank and be exiled.

I'm sorry that I could do nothing to help you to continue your work.

I don't care about my rank.

As long as I am healthy and breathing, I am going to treat patients.

I can see why Man-kyung was so desperate to save you.

Let him see his wife.

Yes, sir.

Da-hee.

Da-hee, Da-hee!

Jun...

My husband...

Hello, Brother Seok.

Welcome. Come, have a seat.

Okay.

Have you heard about Jun?

You know the results?

Heard it from Lord Jung himself.

He'll be stripped of his rank and sent into exile.

It's really too bad that they didn't execute him.

But he won't get in your way anymore.

What's with that expression? Aren't you happy?

Yes, sir.

- Sir. - Sir.

Sir, how are you?

We heard you had returned from China.

Are you well?

That arrogant jerk. Would saying hello kill him?

That's how he is. Just ignore him.

He was kicked out to China. They should send him again.

His Majesty is here.

How is she?

She is suffering from angina.

Angina?

Please forgive me for saying this,

but it's a very critical condition that can claim a life in just one day.

If the symptom is severe enough.

Then...

You think you can cure her?

Please forgive me.

Answer me.

I have done all I can...

But I don't think she can recover.

Are you sure there's no other way?

Please forgive me.

You expect me to watch her die? Does that make any sense?

Bring Doctor Heo!

- Milady! Milady! - Milady! Milady!

- Milady! - Milady!

Get on with your treatment.

Your Majesty, Doctor Heo has arrived.

Let him in.

Check her condition.

It is angina.

Sir?

Sir... Sir...

It's angina.

Take the long needle and perform acupuncture.

How can I?

Do as you learned.

But I'm not...!

Hurry.

I will check her pulse.

What happened?

The patient was the magistrate's relative. He died from angina.

What did you do to him?

I prescribed him with the angina medicine.

You did well since he was suffering from angina.

But if you had done acupuncture using the long needle, he might have lived.

I'll perform acupuncture with a long needle.

Go on.

Insert where the energy flows. One small error could kill the patient.

You must find the exact spot for insertion.

How is the lady?

Doctor Heo is performing acupuncture.

I don't think this is a good idea.

Allowing a criminal to treat the lady.

Isn't this ridiculous?

Her life depends on Doctor Heo.

You should pray that she survives instead of making complaints.

Salt.

Ginger.

Moxa.

Light it.

Remove the moxa.

Well? Will she live?

The critical stage has passed.

But it's still too early to tell.

But you said the critical stage had passed.

She's suffering from a serious condition.

What I did was an emergency treatment. It cannot cure the lady's illness.

Angina patients may show the same symptoms after three or four days.

I agree with Doctor Heo that it is too early to tell.

Stop all work concerning the Grand Hall and focus on Kong-bin with Doctor Heo.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Doctor Heo.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I have faith in you.

You must save her.

Did you learn to use the long needle from Yu Eui-tae?

Yes, sir.

I thought it was too late. You did a good job.

The next few days are critical.

If an emergency strikes, a spoonful of musk powder under her tongue will work.

Okay.

What do you mean Doctor Heo is treating Lady Kong-bin?

Wasn't he relieved of his post?

Doctor Yang couldn't do anything so the king called for Doctor Heo.

So what happened?

The lady was able to survive the critical stage.

What's taking you so long?

Hong-choon!

Oh, goodness, you're burning up!

Doctor! Doctor!

Chief Nurse Hong-choon is ill!

What do you mean?

Her body is boiling up.

I'll go check on her. Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Gae-keum, where are they rushing off to?

The Chief Nurse is dying.

Hong-choon is dying?

Yes.

Hong-choon! Hong-choon, don't die!

Hong-choon, no! Don't die!

What do you think?

It seems like she's suffering from malaria.

We have good medicine for it, so please don't worry too much.

Hong-choon, you can't die like this.

What will I do without you? Hong-choon!

Hong-choon!

The king has ordered him to tend the lady until she recovers.

Isn't that as good as a pardon?

We can't be sure of that yet.

If he cures the lady, you never know.

He's already been sentenced. It can hardly be overturned.

But...

He should be exiled by now. What of the order of the bureau?

How is Lady Kong-bin?

She is on the cusp of death.

So she won't live long.

Watch what you say.

Her Ladyship has regained consciousness.

Do you know how worried I was?

Forgive me.

It hurts me very much to think that you don't love me anymore.

Another doctor should be put in charge.

Please heed our plea, Your Majesty!

Don't you think he deserves a pardon?

It cannot be!

He's being taken back to the state tribunal.

Am I going into exile?

The court officials are protesting.

Please pardon Doctor Heo.

Enough!
