[Episode 99] Sir, I have a favor to ask.

Before I depart on my exile, please let me see my family.

You will see your wife shortly.

Sir?

My husband.

Da-hee.

You can go home with your wife.

Sir?

His Majesty has granted amnesty for your past misdeeds.

His personal authority trumps all other laws.

The court officials cannot disobey.

That is how much he treasures you.

Your Majesty.

Make sure to repay his mercy.

Your Majesty...

Yang-tae, let's eat.

I don't need to eat. Please look after the madam.

My goodness.

Wife.

How's Kyum's grandmother?

She's totally out of it. I'm afraid she'll grow worse.

Goodness.

My goodness.

Wife.

What?

You'd refuse to eat and ail away if I were arrested, too, right?

What? Why should I?

Wait, so you'd keep eating?

Of course I will.

People talk of losing their appetite, but that has never happened to me.

Goodness.

Eat, stuff yourself.

I hear you can die from overeating.

Yang-tae, where the hell is Dol-swe?

Why do you want to know?

Um, time for lunch. You must be hungry.

Mother.

Mother!

- Oh! - Oh, he's back. Doctor Heo is back.

- Doctor Heo! - Jun!

Sir.

Thank goodness.

- Jun. - Sir.

My son.

Mother.

Mother.

What we did ten years ago will no longer cause you problems?

Yes, the king has pardoned me.

That's wonderful!

How generous of the king. Merciful Buddha....

This didn't happen just with Buddha's grace.

The god of the sea, the god of the mountains...

They all pitched in!

What other gods are there? Who else?

Yang-tae, what are you waiting for? Go get some ox tail meat and drinks.

He deserves some good food and a small welcome-back party.

Of course.

My life is full of feasts, thanks to Doctor Heo.

This is so great! Kyum must be good luck.

A real blessing!

My goodness.

So great! Let's dance!

What to do?

Ha-man! I'm starved!

Honey! Let me talk to you.

What is it? What now?

I don't know what to call Da-hee.

What do you mean?

Didn't you hear that she was from a very famous noble family?

I used to treat her like my friend, but I don't know what to do anymore.

Yeah, you are right.

I always knew that she was no ordinary lady.

How did you know?

I just knew it from the start.

She never talked rashly or acted like a child like you do.

She was full of dignity and high spirit. I knew she had noble blood in her.

And I have a low-life's blood flowing in me?

Like you're anything like Doctor Heo.

- I'm much better-- - Shush!

Thank you for taking care of Mother and Kyum while we were away.

No, no, I only did what I was supposed to.

You must have suffered much, Milady.

Milady, please forgive our past rudeness.

What's going on?

Please don't be so polite to us.

Please don't act like this.

No, I didn't know you were a noble lady and treated you like my friend.

Please forgive me for being so rude.

Please don't say that.

I threw away my status when I married my husband.

What?

Please treat me like you always did.

I can't do that.

Yes, we can't do that.

If I was still a noble, how would I have met a good friend like you?

Then we can be friends like before?

Of course.

Well, that's that. If you insist.

I boiled ox tailbones. Go to the kitchen and season the meat.

You are much better at that than I am.

Sure. I'll bring in the table. Please go in.

Okay.

She is a true saint. A true noble.

The rest of them are scum.

I don't know if we should talk like that to her.

But that's what she insisted.

- But I don't-- - Shush, you!

Mother.

Come in.

Mother.

Doctor Heo and his wife were released from prison.

Is this true?

I heard that the king pardoned his crimes.

That is nice to hear.

Mother.

I think I need to visit Doctor Heo's home.

What for?

I feel wretched about treating Lady Da-hee like a servant.

You mean to go there and apologize? There's no need.

- Doctor Heo. - Doctor Heo!

You are one lucky fellow.

I have been in the service of the royal court for decades,

but I've never seen a criminal being pardoned.

Not only that, you got away with marrying a noble lady as well.

You must be good at seducing women.

The doctors had to work extra hours to fill in for you.

Work harder to make up for your absence.

Yes, sir.

Doctor Song and I have some business in the palace.

Get to work.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

I am happy for you!

Please forgive me for worrying you, sir.

Yes, I feel like I've lost a few years of my life.

How are you going to compensate me?

Don't worry about compensating him. All he needs is a bowl of liquor.

Isn't that right, sir?

Not just a bowl. You'll need to buy a whole jar.

- Great to see you. - Welcome back.

Ye-jin! Ye-jin!

Ye-jin.

Doctor Heo is back.

Doctor Heo! Doctor Heo!

How have you been?

Sorry for saying this when you just got out, but I was waiting for you.

Is something wrong?

Please take a look at Hong-choon.

I told you she would get better soon.

I trusted Doctor Lee and wasted five whole days.

Please do something, Doctor Heo.

What is she suffering from?

It seems like she has malaria. But the medicine isn't working.

I don't think she will get through another day.

What do you think?

Doctor Heo.

Make juice out of foxglove.

Yes.

She needs to rest. Let's leave.

What are you waiting for? Come out.

What is her problem exactly?

She has Shilyeobyung.

What kind of illness is that?

Why aren't you saying anything? Tell me!

You're the only one who can save her.

What do you mean, sir?

It is a principle of life for a man to be attracted to a woman,

and a woman to be attracted to a man.

But if a woman stays unmarried for a long time, she will lack yang,

which disturbs the balance in her body.

The imbalance of yin and yang results in a high fever.

That is why it has symptoms which are similar to malaria.

So...?

I prescribed medicine for her, but it's only a temporary solution.

She needs more yang to stay healthy.

Do you understand now?

You have to save Hong-choon's life.

Well, I am ready to save her any day.

But I don't know how she would feel...

Sisters! Sisters! Sisters!

You know what the chief nurse is suffering from?

It's not malaria?

No.

Then what is it?

Shilyeobyung?

Yes.

She seemed so indifferent to men on the outside.

She must have been longing for a man all this time.

What are you laughing at?

I should marry before the same thing happens to me.

Take this.

Fascinating.

Your body is giving you the signs on what you should do.

What do you mean?

Do you know what you are suffering from?

Didn't you say it was malaria?

No, you are suffering from Shilyeobyung.

I heard about it, but I've never seen anyone who actually has it.

What do you think about Assistant Oh-keun?

He is a bit childish, but he seems like a good man.

Why don't you marry him before it's too late?

Ma'am...

Sir! Sir!

Did you hear the good news?

What good news?

Lady In-bin is pregnant.

Are you sure?

Yes, Doctor Yang confirmed it just now.

Your tonic must have worked.

This is an opportunity from the gods.

Try moving your mouth.

Doctor Heo.

Doctor Yang is looking for you. Go to the palace.

If you work hard for me, I can help you with your career.

Do you understand what I mean?

Wrap up your work at the public hospital.

You are the personal physician of Lady Kong-bin.

I am not ready for that yet, sir.

Lady Kong-bin begged the king to get his approval, so do not refuse.

Doctor Yu, you are the new personal physician for Lady In-bin.

I will do my very best, sir.

When are you to assume the new post?

I was ordered to start right away.

Then what about your duty at the public hospital?

This is such an inconvenience.

All right. You may go now.

Yes, sir.

There will be a meeting after work. Get back to work.

Yes, sir. Let's get back to work.

Sir, did you hear about Doctor Yu?

The one who lucked out is Doctor Yu, not Doctor Heo.

Lady In-bin has the favor of the king right now.

And now she's pregnant.

Doctor Yu will gain more influence.

There's no guarantee. Lady Kong-bin has two princes.

We can't ignore that.

Young doctors are taking over our rightful posts.

What is the world coming to?

"This is such an inconvenience."

I mean, is it so hard for him to say "Congratulations"?

Their minds are narrower than sticks. You're expecting too much.

Well, I'm just as jealous as they are.

I'm dying to go back to the palace, but I am stuck here

while they are forcing Doctor Heo. Why is the world so unfair?

You should be glad that you at least have a job here.

Sir!

I'm sorry to leave you all like this.

Don't say that.

It'll be a wonderful opportunity for you.

It will be a chance to experiment and learn more about medicine.

A chance given to you by heaven.

I'll keep that in mind, sir.

One mistake will be enough to ruin your career.

Although I'm sure you'll do well, never forget to be careful always.

Ye-jin! Ye-jin!

Have you heard?

Doctor Heo is leaving for the palace.

Aren't you going to say good-bye?

Please be well, sir.

Thank you.

It's been an honor working with you.

We'll never forget what you taught us, sir.

Please be well, sir.

- Please be well, sir. - Please be well, sir.

Please come visit us.

Enough, you should go. Back to work.

Let's go.

Sir.

How have you been?

Congratulations on becoming a royal physician.

Thank you.

Is Lady Kong-bin inside?

Yes, I just served her tonic.

How is her condition?

It's not good.

Since learning of Lady In-bin's pregnancy, she has been feeling depressed.

Please take care of her.

Yes, sir. I will do my best.

Milady, Doctor Heo is here.

Show him in.

I am here to pay my greetings

as I've been appointed the personal physician for Your Ladyship.

Have a seat.

I'm so relieved that you're my doctor now.

I was afraid you'd refuse to come.

I beg your pardon, Milady.

Milady.

Speak.

You don't look well.

But I'm smiling.

A weak body comes from a weak mind.

You ought to stay happy in order to keep your good health.

I'm trying, but it's not easy.

I guess I'm narrow-minded.

I wish you could cure my ailing heart, too.

Doctor Yu was a great help in my pregnancy.

Take good care of In-bin.

Tell In-bin that I'm here.

I don't want to see her.

Forget it, let's go.

- Milady! - Milady!

She must have a prince. That's what's best for you, too.

Lady Kong-bin's tonic is the priority.

- Wench. - Lady In-bin is not the only patient.

How dare you look down on Lady In-bin!
