Episode 103

Heart trouble again?

No.

Just pains from the fever.

Try not to worry.

That's good. Truly.

I was so shocked.

You should stay with her, just in case.

Yes, Doctor.

But why the high fever?

She didn't have it earlier.

Yu-wol?

Yes, ma'am?

- Bring it in. - Yes ma'am.

That will be all.

Yes ma'am.

As you requested.

I did it because you asked.

But I don't like it.

I understand that you're supporting Her Grace.

But I don't know if we should go this far.

She's right.

Having gone to the doorstep of death, I now see how senseless ambition is.

I trust you but I hope you know what you're doing.

Here.

Why do you need figwort root?

For Her Majesty?

She passed out from fever.

This will help with the symptoms.

There's nothing better for fever.

Off you go. Wait...

Shall I prepare it?

No, I will.

Oh, listen...

Have you heard the rumor?

Which rumor?

We should discuss it.

Come to my house later.

Is this true?

Absolutely. I saw it with my own eyes.

It was Her Majesty's lady-in-waiting.

What was she doing at the fortune-teller's?

What's more, Lady Jang had royal shoes and clothing.

She is using the shaman to curse someone.

Ma'am, a letter from Hong-choon.

Welcome.

What do you require of us?

Wait a moment. So-hyeon is coming from the palace.

She is a court lady under Lady Kong-bin.

Come with me.

Well? Come on.

Right.

What is this?

Search.

- Yes ma'am. - Wha..?

How dare you?

Where do you think you are?

Don't you fear the Dragon King's wrath?

Ma'am.

That belongs to Lady Kong-bin.

You...! Get out!

- Take her. - Yes ma'am.

Let go!

Court tramps! Let go!

Let go!

Court tramps!

We found Lady Kong-bin's things at the altar.

She was laying a curse on them.

Were you acting for Lady In-bin?

I act for no one.

So there, tramp!

Once again.

Who instructed you to do this vile deed?

Well?

Spare me, spare me.

Pay close attention.

I don't believe any curse can kill someone.

Even if you cast your spells on Lady Kong-bin...

...I will protect her.

So stop this foolishness.

Take no more commissions.

Fail to do so...

...and you will pay.

Have mercy.

Have mercy.

We can't have Lady Kong-bin bothered.

Burn it all.

Yes, Doctor.

Hold it.

You wicked woman.

Well? I want every shred of evidence.

Yes, sir.

And Lady In-bin was behind it all?

Yes, Milady.

We arrested the shaman.

Please inform His Majesty of what she's done.

Doctor Heo.

How is it you tried to cover all this up?

My lord.

I decided it would be best for the lady's well-being.

How so?

What could be more dangerous than a curse on her health?

My lord.

The greatest threat to Lady Kong-bin is her own heart.

Medicine, not witchcraft, affects lives.

I thought it best if she didn't know.

I understand completely.

Milady, do you plan to let this slide?

No. I'll speak with Lady In-bin.

Is she in?

Milady.

Announce me.

No. I'll go myself.

Don't say a word.

How may I be of service?

Show her.

You know whose these are?

Milady.

Your little shaman has already confessed.

Don't even think about lying.

What is this?

Quiet.

You wouldn't want His Majesty to hear you.

Having you nothing to say?

There is nothing TO say.

Kill me or let me live.

What good is begging at this point?

Little fool.

How could you do such a thing when you have all of His Majesty's favor?

I'll look the other way.

That does not indicate forgiveness.

But I won't have this type of thing bothering the King.

Listen well.

Try something like this again...

...and you, your brother...

...your entire family will be slaughtered.

Do we understand each other?

Is this how you handle things?

Do you realize the beating I just took?

I have no excuse.

But she's looking the other way, that's a good thing.

Good? How is that good?

She holds our lives in her hands. You call that good?

Not to worry. She can't last long.

Her death solves everything.

How is she?

Stable for now.

She asked for you.

Doctor Heo.

Yes, Milady.

I'm thinking of going to a mountain temple.

What are your thoughts?

Perhaps I could take the young princes to the hot springs.

You may not be up for a long journey.

I want to spend time with my boys with what time I have left.

Milady.

His Majesty will approve.

Be ready.

What are you saying all of a sudden?

Leaving the capital?

To retire to the old family home.

Mother, have I done something wrong?

Why are you doing this?

I've been thinking about it for some time now.

I want peace and quiet,

to spend my days praying for you two.

You can do that here.

My mind is made up. No more discussion.

Do as I ask.

Will you go with her?

I guess I have to.

So you're through with Oh-keun?

It was never meant to be anyway.

He's married now. What can I do?

We'll marry you off before she leaves.

Be ready.

Sure. Hee-hee.

Pssh. Oh, you.

Doctor.

What is it?

My lady asked to see you.

Thank you for coming.

It bothers me that I never thanked you properly for saving my life.

Not at all.

I did my duty, no more.

Yes, that's true, for a man like you.

I couldn't have done it if I were in your place.

In retrospect I see I treated you shamefully.

Yet you saved me anyway. Thank you.

Thank you for watching over Doctor Yu until the end.

I have one last favor.

Please.

Do-ji.

I used to resent you for standing in his way.

But not anymore.

His father hurt him deeply.

Doctor Yu lavished you with attention.

Please understand how Do-ji felt.

Well, now! Well?

Did the charm work?

From now on you can call me Lord Loverboy.

Yeah? Really?

He's a real man now! Now you're talkin'!

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Lord Loverboy!

I owe it all to you two.

Thanks.

The drinks are on me to celebrate what a stud I am.

Any more trouble, you let me know.

We'll get you back on top.

You got it.

- C'mon. - C'mon.

Hello?

Welcome.

Ah-ha. So? So?

How...?

How could I not tell?

I owe it all to you.

Thanks.

That's it?

No, I got you something, wait here.

Silk.

So pretty, so... But surely I can't take it.

I'd give you more if I could.

Are you that happy?

His Majesty isn't coming?

He wishes you a good trip.

Where is he?

With Lady In-bin

I see. That will be all.

Formation.

Move out.

Make way!

Doctor.

Lady Kong-bin asked for you.

Please.

Yes, Milady.

How much time do I have?

Milady.

Not much, I should think.

Milady, you must try.

You will beat this when you are yourself again.

No. We each have our own destiny.

Fighting it only brings misery.

I'm ashamed to look at you who has seen me through all of this.

Seeing myself grieve over the loss of the King's love...

...It's so pathetic that I can't bear much more.

In the temple, before Buddha, I realized my pain is karma.

The late Queen must have felt the same pain when I was the King's favorite.

How much more so when I was with child.

I was so happy I never thought of the pain it caused others.

But now I know.

The start of pain is obsession.

The relief of letting go.

Now, at the end, I know.

Milady.

- Milady. - Milady.

Think of the princes.

Milady, please open your eyes! Milady!
