Episode 7

Who are you?

Who are you and why have you stolen the rock salt?

- Get them! - Yes, Sir!

- When I strike, run! - Sir!

I command you as your King!

What?

Do you understand the enormity of your actions?

I am the King!

You are pointing your swords towards the King of this nation!

What?

Sir! What are you trying to do?

King? If you're the King, I must be God.

I knew you wouldn't believe me.

- Run! Quickly! - Sir!

Sir!

Speak! On whose orders are you here?

We're late. Let's get rid of them and go!

- Get rid of them! - Yes, Sir!

The Police are here and they're everywhere!

What?

Sir, are you all right?

- Yes, are you all right too? - Yes. We must get out of here!

Yes, let's go!

His Majesty is inside this house! Protect His Majesty!

Yes, Sir!

Make your escape! Hurry!

Look! It's the Police!

They came just in time.

But they're not Prefecture officers. They look like the Police!

They all report to me anyway.

What?

But, Sir....

- You know what you said before... - Before...?

- That I was King? - Yes!

What did you mean by that? It was a lie, right?

Of course it was! Did you believe me?

What?

I thought they might let us go if I said I was the King.

Sir!

Were you in shock when I said I was King?

Yes, of course I was!

How can you blow wind like that?

- Wind? - Yes! A lie! Wind!

You can phrase it like that too?

I thought my liver would shrivel up. How can you pretend to be King?

You need to be careful. You'll get in big trouble if you keep it up!

Fine. I won't pretend to be King anymore.

I have to get going.

With the rock salt you found,

We will find out who was behind this, and how it was done.

You said your name was Dong Yi, right?

Yes, Sir.

Your actions today were imprudent, but the result was commendable.

I will not forget what you did for this nation and our government.

- Sir! - Sir!

Where is His Majesty?

He's not here.

- What? - We even searched inside the buildings.

Sir!

You fool! Where is His Majesty?

What... what do you mean His Majesty?

Don't worry. I'm safe.

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, have you been harmed?

I'm fine. You may rise.

I'm really fine!

Your Majesty, you are in danger because I was late.

- I deserve to be executed. - No, that's not true.

You saved my life.

Now all we have to do is finish up this investigation.

Your Majesty!

What... what did you say?

- His... His Majesty was there? - Your Excellency!

Explain yourself! I asked you what happened?

I'm not certain how, but His Majesty came to the house.

But our men didn't recognize him, and raise their swords...

Sw...swords?

Your Excellency!

Your Majesty...!

- Is... Is the King safe? - Yes, His Majesty was unharmed.

But everyone was arrested.

What are you going to do now?

Your Majesty!

But how did he find out?

How did he...?

The chimes are heavy. Be careful with them!

Be careful!

What's going on? Why are they taking the chimes?

Dong Yi was right!

The omen of discordance was all because of the chimes!

What?

Look! That's why they're taking it again.

What nonsense. The chimes were fine.

That's because of the rock salt!

- Dong Yi! - Dong Yi, you...!

What did you just say? Something about rock salt?

This! No one suspected anything was wrong because of this rock salt!

Give that to me.

- Show them. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Do you see this?

This rock that just melted in water is rock salt.

This is the cause of the Omen of Discordance!

The chimes are the foundation to tuning all musical instruments.

Someone used this rock salt to alter the chimes and change the tune.

Afterwards, they melted the rock salt in water and removed the evidence.

That's why no one was able to find out the true cause of the musical discord.

But... but your Majesty,

How can you say that it was the work of man just with this?

- Police Chief Suh! - Yes, Your Majesty!

The chime-maker was murdered.

We found rock salt on his body as well.

On his body? You don't even have his body!

We found the body.

What?

Would we say this if we didn't have the body?

We found the man's body in Mt. Samhak this morning.

Your Majesty, someone must be behind this plot.

Someone devised this terrible plan to frame Lady Jang!

That's right. We must find the culprit and make sure they are punished!

You're right.

I am also very curious to find out who is behind this plot!

Whoever it is, they will not be forgiven!

Your work is commendable.

And now you've found favor with His Majesty.

I always thought you were a lucky fellow.

Is that what you think?

I thought it was because I was competent.

Oh, the interrogation for the prisoners will be handled by the Tribunal, right?

Now it's your turn. I wish you good luck.

- What? - I have work to do. Goodbye.

- Sir! - Where are the prisoners?

We've finished preparations for the interrogation.

Interrogation Yard

We will find the people behind this plot even if we have to tear out your hearts!

- Do you hear? - Yes, Sir!

- Begin the interrogation! - Yes, Sir!

This is the result of my faith in you? Now what will you do?

The men only know Officer Min.

I will help Officer Min escape. Our involvement will never be found out!

How am I supposed to believe that?

You told me no one would find out about this too!

Forgive me, Your Majesty! I deserve death!

If the King finds out, everything is finished!

But you are his mother!

He wouldn't punish you!

Don't you know what kind of man he is?

He was born and raised a King!

Even if he knew I was behind this, he would never cover it up.

- Where is Officer Min? - He is leaving the capital.

Nothing will happen to him, so please don't worry.

- No, nothing is for certain anymore. - You mean...

If Officer Min is caught and confesses, it's all over for us.

- You understand what I'm saying? - Yes, I'll take care of it.

Good.

Anyone but Lady Jang!

Mother, I am not making her a concubine simply because I like her.

The South and West Factions must be balanced...

In that case, then choose another daughter from the West Faction.

Why must it be this lowborn girl?

- Mother... - Your concubine?

Listen to my words. I will not even have her be a Palace maid.

As long as there is breath in me, I will never allow such a thing!

My Lady...

Ok-Jung!

- Your Majesty! - How long have you been standing here?

Just a short while.

I see. I was just on my way to see you.

Wait. Is a smile all I'm going to get?

- What? - I've been up all night solving the case!

I thought you would run into my arms when you saw me.

Shall I run into your arms now?

Forget it. I don't want to force you.

Let's go! I have many things to tell you.

It was a horrible evening.

I was stepped on, scolded and berated by a young child.

- What? - And I'm not blowing wind!

Blowing wind? Are you using a phrase that commoners use?

Yes, I learned it last night!

That's why you should have listened to me.

Why did you accuse me of lying?

Be quiet! Just do your laundry.

Yes, Sir.

If only I had reported this, I could have been promoted.

Who cares about a promotion?

I could have left the Bureau of Music!

Just forget it, Sir! It's all in the past now.

Will you stop chattering away?

Whose fault is it that I'm not getting promoted?

It's all because of you!

Why is it my fault? You're the one who didn't believe me!

You should have convinced me! You should have explained clearly!

- What? - Dong Yi!

Sir!

Dong Yi, you better come quick!

Why?

What happened? Did you get in trouble again?

No! What is it? What happened?

Dong Yi, you've been given a reward. A really big reward!

- What? - What? A reward?

Yes, Dong Yi's been given a reward. His Majesty has given her a reward!

His Majesty?

The King?

I wonder how big the reward is. About 50 yang?

50 yang? It's a reward from the King!

Th..then 100 yang?

Just go!

You better not be blowing wind!

That's the reward!

- Wh...what is that? - That's a royal banquet given by the King!

A royal banquet?

His Majesty commended Dong Yi and bestowed the Bureau a royal banquet!

I get to eat at a royal banquet? This is a great honor to me and my family!

Dong Yi!

This is the girl.

- Are you Dong Yi? - Yes, My Lord.

His Majesty has heard about your efforts in solving this case.

This is his special reward.

Give it to her.

What are you doing? Take it from him!

Yes, Sir...

Thank you, Your Majesty!

It's Dong Yi!

Is this the reward? Let's open it!

What is this?

This is silk and this is the precious white jade!

And this is gold...?

I never imagined this would happen! How could the King...

The Prefecture Officer from last night must have told him about me!

- Are you back from the Bureau of Music? - Yes, Your Majesty.

I delivered your reward.

- Yes, you may leave. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Sir! Raise yourself!

What a wretched girl!

- Are you ready? - Yes.

Come out.

Wait!

Didn't you say I was getting on a boat from Yanghwajin?

The plans have changed.

Is that so?

Why? Why are you doing this?

We've been ordered to silence you.

Chief! Sir!

So...something has happened!

What is it?

- What happened. - We were following them on your orders.

But we lost sight of them.

And when we found them again, they were...

Please forgive me, Sir.

- So they're all dead? - Yes, Your Majesty.

We were investigating the War Minister as your ordered, and his man acted suspicious.

We followed him, but found his dead body.

Please forgive us, Your Majesty.

No, it's not your fault he's dead.

But I can't figure it out.

Who would want to kill the War Minister's man?

- For what purpose? - Perhaps it is for the vanished Officer Min?

- Officer Min? - Yes.

If the South Faction were using their own forces to find Officer Min.

But it still doesn't make sense.

If they found Officer Min, then they should have brought him in.

But nothing has happened of that sort.

What is going on?

It's all done. Now that we have this, we can ruin the Dowager Queen.

- Do you think he will talk so easily? - Of course.

I have already made preparations. He will confess to everything.

Good. Let us take him to the Tribunal and...

Your Excellency, will you let me handle this?

I have received many things from the Dowager Queen. Let me handle it.

What will you do?

You are weak even with the tonics.

- Why can't you do something? - Forgive me, Your Majesty.

I'm all right, My Queen. I am fine, so you may return to your quarters.

Your Majesty!

She hasn't slept for a few days.

Why wouldn't she be disturbed?

She's been trying so hard to get rid of Lady Jang.

- I would... - Come now.

Put yourself in her shoes, Your Majesty.

The Dowager Queen has a thousand fires raging in her heart.

Your Majesty, please go to sleep.

I fear for your health!

Until I hear that this has been settled, I will not be able to sleep.

Your Majesty...!

Has the Minister of War sent any messages?

- Your Majesty, it is I. - What is it?

Your Majesty, Lady Jang is here.

What?

What is it now? Why have you come?

Please don't be like this, Your Majesty.

I am merely here to wish you a good night.

What?

I assumed you would have trouble sleeping these days.

I brought you a little gift so that you may be able to get some sleep.

What is that?

You will no longer have to worry because of that man, Your Majesty.

Please let go of your worries.

You hussy! How dare you threaten me with this?

Why would I do such a thing?

As I said, this is a little gift from me to you.

What? Shameless hussy!

This case will be covered up and concluded.

I came to give you that promise.

What will you do, Your Majesty. Will you still reject my gift to you?

If not, please accept this gift and rest well tonight.

I will consider this the end of our misunderstanding...

... and leave with a happy heart.

- Let's go. - Yes, My Lady.

Your Majesty, are you all right?

That hussy....! How dare she....!

- How dare that wench....! - Your Majesty!

Someone send for the physician! Your Majesty, are you all right?

Your Majesty, are you all right?

How can we let this opportunity go like this? This cannot be possible, Uncle!

Lady Jang is right.

- Uncle! - Don't you understand?

What concerns Lady Jang the most is His Majesty.

Even if His Majesty knows this is the work of the Dowager Queen,

He will still carry forward.

He is strict when it comes to royal matters.

But if that happened, how would he feel?

If he had to punish his own mother, how could he return to Lady Jang?

But we're missing our opportunity to quell the West Faction and the Dowager Queen!

No, it is enough for them to know that we have evidence against them.

That alone makes them unable to move against us.

Lady Jang is a formidable woman.

This will not be the end.

Just as the seer foretold years ago,

She will reach the highest point in the royal family.

The night air is cold. Please return to your rooms, My Lady.

Fine.

- You must go somewhere for me. - Where, My Lady?

I'm curious about someone.

That's enough, Dong Yi. Go in and rest.

What? But there's so much work left to do!

We ate so well today because of you.

So this is our reward to you!

What?

If it weren't for you, how would we slaves ever eat a royal banquet?

We ate the same food as the nobles! At a royal banquet!

- Sir... - So you go and get some rest.

I'm fine. I'll go when I'm finished.

Do what you're told!

Why are they acting like that? It's so embarassing.

That Prefecture Officer isn't that smart, but he must be loyal.

I can't believe he mentioned me to the King!

- Does that make you that happy? - Sir!

Of course it does. It's unbelievable, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

But if I had a choice,

I would rather receive another kind of reward.

- Another reward? - Yes.

I want to meet Lady Jang.

Oh, you said that the lady you were looking for may be Lady Jang!

That's why I wish I could meet her just once.

But how would that be possible? She's so above us!

That's like picking out a star from the sky.

I know, right?

You must be tired. Go to sleep.

The new Director is starting tomorrow, so it will be hectic all day.

Yes, Sir.

Good night!

It would have been nice if we were all together on a day like today.

Right?

Goodness, a cow caught a mouse while walking backwards!

You would say something like that, but you would have been happy for me.

I know you see everything from up there.

But I wish I could see you again just once.

Father... Older brother....

And Chun Soo...

I wish I could see all of you again just once.

Sir, why don't you get some rest?

I will not allow this case to be unsolved because of me.

But with the disappearance of Officer Min, we have no other means.

Then we need to find another one.

Another one? You're right!

One unsolved case is enough.

I won't let that happen again.

Sir, are you still letting that case six years ago bother you?

How could I forget it?

I have never forgotten that child's eyes when she looked at me.

She vanished without a trace. Please take her out of your mind.

- You know how I am. - But, Sir!

Yes, it may be fruitless.

Even if I see her again, I may not even recognize her.

But I can't forget that child. Her eyes still haunt me.

My father is not a criminal!

My father didn't kill anyone, Sir!

I saw the signal.

The Inspector-General's signal... I saw the court lady do it too!

You said it was important!

Find the lady and ask her.

Where are you, child? Are you still alive?

Hurry! Stop making Dong Yi do everything!

Don't make me look bad in front of the new Director. Work quickly!

- Dong Yi! - Yes, Sir, here it is.

- Dong Yi, give me one of those! - Here you go, Sir.

Why is Sir Hwang in such a titter today?

The new Director is from a South Faction family that is related to the King.

- He's just trying to look good. - Really?

What family is he from?

I called the two of you because...

I realized that the Bureau of Music needs proper management.

I hope you will work hard.

Of course, brother! I will do my best for you!

Thank you, Uncle.

Oh Tae Poong

The unfortunate event that occured at the Bureau of Music...

... is because of mismanagement and lax controls!

But as long as I am Director, that will no longer be the case!

Oh Ho Yang

Therefore, from today onwards everything will be reformed.

All staff of the Bureau, from senior musicians to slaves,

... will have to obey my every command!

- Do you understand? - Yes, My Lord!

Now, I will begin my inspection now. Lead the way.

But you just started your post! Perhaps after a brief rest...

What? Rest? You're ridiculous!

Please forgive me, My Lord. Where would you like to inspect first?

Where shall we start?

My Lord, the foundation of the royal arts is dance and music.

Perhaps you would like to inspect the dancers first?

- What do you think? - You mean the dancers?

What are you doing? Lead the way!

Yes. Please go ahead, My Lord.

The Daegum and Flute

He's been inspecting the gisaeng for the past three days!

He should be tired of them by now, but he must really enjoy it!

- Dong Yi, you better be careful too. - Be careful? Of what?

Who else? Those libertines! You're the only female slave here!

If they notice you, your life is over!

I doubt it! They're surrounded by beautiful gisaeng.

I've done it again!

Wh...what is it, Sir?

You have lovely hands.

- Like your face. - Wh..what?

The Bureau of Music is like Heaven!

How can even the slaves be so lovely?

- Let... let me go, Sir! - Are you being coquettish? How cute!

Please let me go! You shouldn't do this, Sir!

Do you think you'll get free if you pull like that?

You... you wench....!

Let go!

Wench! How dare you!

Dong Yi!

Sir...Sir...! Are you all right?

You wench, where are you going?

Bring her to me!

I will not let her live after what she did!

- Sir....! - I said bring her to me!

Dong Yi... What do I do?

What is this I hear? Why are they going to beat Dong Yi?

He's not going to leave her alone!

Dong Yi!

Dong Yi!

Young Dal, our Dong Yi is going to die!

That crazy bastard made one of the damos at the Bureau of Art into a cripple too!

What?

You wench! How dare a slave hit a government official?

- Do you expect to keep your life? - Hit you? Please don't say that!

- You startled me so I just pulled away! - Be quiet, wench!

Let's see if you continue saying that even after you get beaten.

Beat her!

What are you doing? I ordered you to beat her!

Sir, please have mercy on her!

What? Have mercy on a slave?

Fine. If you won't do it, then I will!

- Do you want to die? - Sir!

Let me show you what the cost is for offending a nobleman!

What is this commotion?

Father, this wench....

- That's enough. - Father!

I said that's enough!

- Is this her? - Yes, My Lord.

Take her.

Come with me.

- What? - I said come with me!

Yes, Sir.

What... what the hell is going on now?

Sir, what is going on?

Is this her?

Yes, she is the girl that Lady Jang is asking for.

Is that true?

Did Lady Jang really ask to see me?

Yes, she heard about your commendable efforts and has asked to see you.

Go and tidy up your appearance so you can stand before her.

I can't believe Lady Jang wants to see me!

You dropped this.

Thank you. This is precious to me.

I have to ask if she was that lady.

But how do I ask her?

A shadow...

Are you saying that the other woman will be my shadow?

No.

The shadow will be you.

What?

I have everything, but I will become the shadow of the one who has nothing?

That's right.

If she lives, you will never defeat her light.

So if you can,

Do your best to not meet her.

Why did I remember that all of a sudden?

My Lady, is something wrong?

- Why? Do I look like something is wrong? - Yes, you look troubled.

It's nothing. I just remembered something.

My Lady, Lady Cho is back.

Is she?

You must be Dong Yi.

How dare you stand there! Greet Lady Jang!

I hereby greet you.

I am a slave at the Bureau of Music, Dong Yi.

- Bring tea. - Yes, Madam.

Your Majesty!

Really? That girl is here?

Yes, Your Majesty.

She was curious about her.

I will tell her you have arrived, Your Majesty.

No, that is all right. Leave them be.

Your Majesty?

- You are a fair child. - What?

Your eyes are lovely.

Despite your status as a slave, I can see intelligence and elegance in you.

Please don't say such things to an unworthy person like myself, My Lady.

This is chrysanthemum tea. It has a lovely fragrance. Have some.

Yes, My Lady.

~ Recites Chinese poetry ~

A yellow chrysanthemum is most prized,

But the white chrysanthemum is from Heaven.

It is from a poem called Yellow White Chrysanthemum.

Tell me the next verse of this poem.

- What? - It's all right. Go ahead and recite.

- My Lady, I... - Go ahead.

~ Recites next verse of poem ~

The people value one over the other,

But both flower through the frost.

As far as I know, that is the next verse.

I was right about you.

I knew you were literate.

Please forgive me, My Lady!

I heard of your commendable efforts during my troubles.

I would like to give you a reward. Is there anything you desire?

You may ask for anything. I will give you anything you want.

A reward? Please don't say that, My Lady!

I never expected a reward!

Is that so? You don't want a reward?

- Is that the truth? - Yes, My Lady.

How disappointing.

What?

Not wanting anything... That is not a good thing.

Why is that? Is it because you're a slave?

Because you don't think you're worthy enough to want anything?

My Lady...!

That's too bad.

I would have liked you more if you had wanted something unattainable.

My Lady, it is Lady Cho.

It is time for you to attend the palace maid ceremony.

All right.

Give this girl what we prepared and send her back.

Yes, My Lady. You may rise.

Give me my jacket.

My Lady!

Girl! What are you doing?

There is something I want! There is something I want from you!

To me, it is the most important thing in the world.

Will you accept my request?
