Episode 28

That's it. If I reach that place,

I'll be able to see His Majesty!

Who goes there?

I...

Who are you?

What's this?

You're a watermaid.

What are you doing here?

Forgive me, but...

I asked you what you were doing here!

Wench, answer me!

What is your name? Which office do you work for?

- Sir... - Answer me!

What is it, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty...

Answer me right now!

What are you doing here?

Please forgive me. I just... I just...

Take this girl away!

Yes.

Sir!

Sir! Sir! Sir!

What's going on?

Seeing her dress, she must be a watermaid

who has lost her way.

Shall I inquire further, Your Majesty?

Yes, and if it isn't anything worthwhile,

tell them to let her go quietly.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Go and see to it.

Yes, My Lord.

Sir!

Take this girl to the Tribunal!

Sir, I need to tell you something! Please listen to me!

- Sir! - What is going on here?

She seems to be a watermaid,

but she was loitering here.

- Indeed? - Your Majesty...!

My Lord, please pardon me,

but I must speak to His Majesty!

What?

Please tell him this for me. I am...

Silence, wench!

- How dare you suggest such a thing? - My Lord!

His Majesty is in low spirits,

so send her away quietly.

My Lord, please tell His Majesty for me!

Please tell His Majesty that Poongsan wishes

to speak to him! My Lord!

- Take her away! - My Lord! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, the Queen has regained consciousness.

What? Are you certain?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty...!

Let us go to the Queen's Residence.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Has the Queen really regained consciousness?

Yes, Your Majesty.

His Majesty has arrived.

Leave us.

Yes, Your Majesty.

My Queen!

Your Majesty.

How do you feel? Are you recovered now?

Yes, I am fine, Your Majesty.

How can you be fine?

Do you know how scared I was?

The Royal Physician told me that you almost lost your life.

Were you worried for me, Your Majesty?

If I had known, I should have been sick more often.

Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Your concern touched me.

I knew I shouldn't feel this way,

but I was happy.

My Queen...

Stay out of our sight, wench!

If you come here again, you'll pay!

Understand?

He was right there... His Majesty was right there before me.

He was...

Are you certain?

Her Majesty has regained consciousness?

Yes, Madam! I was waiting outside the palace.

And I received the news directly from

one of Her Majesty's palace maidens.

Your Majesty!

Madam, you should go to the palace now to see her!

No.

I need to do something first.

Go and summon Steward Hwang.

Tell him to hire some thugs from the marketplace.

What?

Thugs for what?

Just do as you're told!

Yes, Madam.

I will protect Her Majesty now with my own might!

Your Majesty, why did you do such a thing?

You almost lost your life?

Why did you do something so reckless?

It was because I dreamed a reckless dream

of becoming Queen when I was born of a slave.

Your Majesty...!

Now I can do things that I used to abhor.

That is how I earned this position.

I must keep this position

in the same way I earned it, don't you agree?

Your Majesty...!

Why did I do such a reckless thing?

It was because there is nothing I won't do.

I would rather lose my life,

than lose His Majesty's love and this position.

Do you understand now?

That is what I have decided, Brother.

So now it's my turn.

Now it's my turn to stake my life.

I will stake my life to protect you!

Brother...

I will not let Chun Dong Yi live.

I will strangle the last breath from the deposed Queen.

I won't let anyone take your position away, Your Majesty!

Now that Her Majesty has regained consciousness,

we must begin what we have prepared for.

All the preparations have been completed.

The deposed Queen and her supporters won't be able to escape.

Yes, that is how it should be.

All those who stand against the Queen

will be destroyed!

Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Your concern touched me.

I knew I shouldn't feel this way,

but I was happy.

Your Majesty, it is getting late.

Please retire to your bedchambers now.

They found poison in the Queen's tea.

If someone really plotted to kill the Queen,

who else could it be?

Your Majesty...

The deposed Queen's supporters

believe that she was framed

and sent away despite her innocence.

And now the current Queen's life was put in danger.

Which is true and...

which is false?

This is all so confusing.

I am to blame for everything.

Dong Yi.

Sulhee!

I asked Steward Nam, and he told me you were here.

Yes, I once came here

with His Majesty when he was traveling incognito.

I thought he might stop by if I waited here.

Dong Yi...

He was right in front of me,

but I couldn't meet him.

He was too far and didn't recognize me.

He couldn't have forgotten me already, could he?

Take this, Dong Yi.

What is this?

This is...!

Yes, it's your late brother's Haegeum.

I took it with me when I left the Bureau of Music.

He once told me that playing the Haegeum

made him feel better when he felt lonely.

I thought you might need it now.

Sulhee...

Because of you, I've realized my dream.

Your dream?

That's right.

My dream was to spend a day

as an average man in the marketplace.

Do I look good?

Yes!

It's the first time I'm wearing this.

Now what question should I ask?

Give me your hand.

It's right here!

I said lift up your head! That's it!

I said lift up your head!

I'll be riding a palanquin!

- Let's see now... - But it's really late.

Your Majesty, I'm right here.

Can you hear me?

I'm here.

Sir, stop by before you leave!

And where is the gisaeng house?

It's the one around the corner!

- Yes, I'll stop by before I leave! - Promise me!

Take a close look at that portrait.

It's important, so notify us if you see her.

Understand?

Yes, sir.

Sir!

- What's your name? - It's Geum-Ong, sir!

- You are quite beautiful. - Come now!

- Let's meet another time. - Hurry up!

All right.

Sir, you must recommend us to your traders!

Must I come out like this to advertise?

Don't worry, a large group of traders is coming from Gaesong.

I'll make sure they know about you!

Who were those men anyway?

They're officers from the capital.

I think they're looking for someone.

Is that so? That girl...

What is it? Do you know her?

Let me take a look.

Good food!

Once we search Yangju, I'll head south.

Someone should know something there.

Then I'll search north of Yangju.

Fine.

Sir! Sir!

Sir!

We found her at last!

Someone has seen Dong Yi!

What?

Are you sure?

That's what I said!

Sir, this is the gisaeng.

Are you certain?

Are you sure this was her?

Yes, I'm sure she's the girl who came here

from Uiju with my friend.

From Uiju?

Yes, sir.

Where is she now?

I'm not certain.

But they said they were going to the capital.

The capital?

Have you seen Hwang Ju-Shik?

No.

I gave him an errand to do!

What a lazy, irresponsible weasel he is!

If it's urgent, I can go...

It's none of your business, you fool!

I just thought I would be helpful.

What happened? What did you find out?

Well...

You're so frustrating! Hurry up!

Really? I see! Well done!

You're good at these things!

That wretched man!

What's this important errand?

Important errand, my ass!

He wanted me to find out where the watermaids

who were fetching water at 3pm work at.

What? Why watermaids?

It's obvious that he liked one of them!

Why is he making me do these things for him?

Must I follow watermaids around at my age?

That philandering bastard!

Sir!

I'm going to...!

Hey, are you all right?

The Royal Laundry?

I can't believe such a pretty watermaid exists!

Well, that's why I stick around here!

There she is! The watermaid from yesterday!

Come to the well in front.

All right.

She doesn't just resemble Dong Yi!

She looks exactly like her!

It's strange.

How could they look so alike?

It can't be! She's...!

What's going on?

Hey, be careful!

I'm so sorry! Are you all right?

Just forget it.

And don't step on it!

It's from the Queen's residence!

Please pardon me!

These are mung bean shells.

Looks like the Lady Investigators are out

on their inspections again.

Lady Investigators?

Yes, in the palace,

the Lady Investigators do random

searches of the palace maids' chambers.

Before I left, the last inspections were done in March.

That means there should have been two more.

The Sewing Room, the Embroidery Quarters...

Yes, it's the Laundry Quarters!

Lady Jung should be inspecting the Laundry Quarters!

Today's chamber search is especially important.

Someone tried to harm the Queen.

You must check if any palace maids were involved.

Understand?

Yes, Madam Chief.

Wait! A moment.

Where are you assigned?

The Laundry Quarters.

Indeed?

But the entire Bureau of Investigation will be there.

I can't come forward so easily.

What should I do? What should I do?

You scared me!

Why are you here?

I was told to bring these clothes here.

- Then leave it and go! - Yeah.

- You hid everything, right? - Yes, let's go.

All the palace maids will come out of their chambers!

Did you hear me? Hurry and come out!

I can manage this place.

Why did you trouble yourself, Madam Chief?

Perhaps I couldn't trust you to do a proper job.

What?

You're opposed to the Queen.

You would hide evidence even if it was found.

Madam Chief!

Begin the search!

Yes, Madam Chief!

We'll take care of this room.

But these chambers belong to high-ranking maids...

Do so.

Eun-Geum and Shibi can't do simple errands forever.

- Thank you, Madam Chief! - Thank you!

Found one!

Is that all?

Yes, there was nothing special.

Did you check inside the blankets?

They're good at hiding things there too.

Stop thinking you're better than us.

We know that too!

Let's go!

Have you completed the search?

Yes, My Lady.

We've finished as well.

Good, let's go.

My Lady...

They're done. Carry on with your work.

- Clean the inner rooms and... - Mother!

Where's Father?

What's the matter with you?

Where is he?

What? You saw that girl?

Yes, Father! I'm sure it was Dong Yi!

Stop your nonsense!

How can a dead girl work as a watermaid?

That's why I couldn't believe my eyes!

Are you sure?

Are you sure you saw her?

Father, don't you know me?

I can spot women from a mile away!

How could this be?

You better be careful.

What do you mean?

I'm talking about Madam Chief!

She's out to get you!

Yes, the girls are talking too.

If something happens because of the Queen's poisoning,

then everyone who supported the deposed Queen will pay!

But what can they accuse me?

I haven't done anything wrong.

Stop being naive!

Did the deposed Queen do something wrong to be kicked out?

My Lady.

I have something to tell you.

I see.

What? Dong Yi?

Yes, My Lady.

I think Dong Yi is in the palace.

But how?

I found this in the Laundry Quarter.

What is it?

Where did you find it?

In one of the palace maids' chambers.

I knew it.

This is...!

Do you remember this?

This is the code Dong Yi found at the Qing emissary's chambers.

Laundry Quarter Servant Water

Laundry Quarter Servant Water?

Servant Water could mean watermaid!

Yes , My Lady.

This was a message from Dong Yi.

It is her writing too.

Dong Yi is a watermaid at the Laundry Quarter?

Yes, My Lady.

What happened?

This is where I put it!

Where could it be?

What are you doing here?

My Lady!

Were you... were you going through our things?

It's not like that!

- Come out here! - My Lady!

It's a misunderstanding! I wasn't trying to steal anything!

Be quiet, you wench!

What's going on?

I went inside and found her going through our things!

What?

Go and inform the Bureau of Investigation!

Hurry

No, please don't, My Lady!

Please forgive me!

Dong Yi!

My Lady!

Dong Yi!

My Lady!

- Dong Yi! - Dong Yi!

- My Lady! - My Lady!

You're alive!

Yes, My Lady. I'm alive and I came back.

What happened?

Why are you working as a watermaid?

My Lady!

Everyone thought you were dead.

Everyone searched for you,

including Chief Suh and your brother!

Even His Majesty.

His Majesty too?

Yes, he dismissed Chief Suh so that he could search for you.

It was all for you.

Your Majesty, the Chief Secretary is here.

So what did you find?

Has the Tribunal found out anything?

Chief Secretary!

Your Majesty, I'm afraid tremendous strife will befall the palace.

What do you mean?

I'm afraid supporters of the deposed Queen may be involved in this incident.

What?

I'm going to the Grand Palace to report to His Majesty about Dong Yi.

Stay with her so that she's safe.

Yes, My Lady.

Where are you going in such a rush?

It has been found that the Lady Investigators,

in charge of the sericulture ceremony

had a meeting with members of the West Faction a few days ago.

How can a simple meeting be construed

as a conspiracy to poison the Queen?

That's because their meeting took place

at the private residence of the deposed Queen.

They have found the letters they sent to each other, Your Majesty!

How can this be?

How?

My Lady!

Jung Im!

You accuse us of conspiring against the Queen?

We are innocent! This is an atrocity!

Your innocence will be proven by the investigation.

My Lord!

Take them away!

Yes, sir!

- Lady Jung! Jung Im! - My Lady!

Let go of me! You fools! Let go!

How dare you do this?

He is a criminal who conspired against the Queen!

A criminal? How dare you call me a criminal?

First you frame our Queen,

and now it's my turn?

You wretch!

Take the criminal away!

- Yes, sir! Take him away! - Yes, sir!

Wretched man! Let me go! Let me go!

- Destroy everything! - What are you doing?

Your Majesty, this is dangerous! Please go back inside!

Wretched fellows!

How dare you do this at Her Majesty's residence?

Be quiet, wench!

Her Majesty? Who is Her Majesty?

This is the house of the criminal who conspired against our Queen!

Destroy everything!

Yes, sir!

Destroy everything!

Wretches, don't you fear heaven?

Stop this right now!

Destroy everything!

Is this what you wanted, Consort Hui?

Now you want my life too?

Why are they taking so long?

They plotted against the Queen.

Imprison them and guard them well.

My Lady!

My Lady!

Now we must push forward.

We must make sure that no one who is an obstacle,

to Her Majesty can set foot in the palace again.

Yoon will take care of that, so don't worry.

The important thing now is that palace maid.

What about her?

Have you found her yet?

Yoon!

What brings you here?

Why else? We have important business!

My Ho-Yang has brought a important piece of news, Yoon!

What do you mean?

The wench!

The one that Jang Hee-Jae has been looking for!

I found her!

What?

What did you say?

You found her?

What do you mean by that?

So you were here.

Are you deaf?

Where did you see this girl?

We didn't come here to tell you...

Are we crazy?

How can we give him such good news when he was so bad to us?

If you don't want to die right now,

tell me!

Father! Father!

Chun Dong Yi is in the palace in disguise as a watermaid.

Find her immediately!

Yes, sir! Let's go!

What? Dong Yi is in the palace right now?

That's right, Your Majesty!

That cunning vixen disguised herself

to try and meet His Majesty.

They're looking for me!

If not alive, then bring her to me dead!

Bring me her corpse if you have to.

Do you hear me?

Yes, sir!

Let's go!

There she is! Get her!

I have to leave the palace. What should I do?

Damn it!

Find her!

Yes, sir.

Wait! Search her.

Fine. Let her go.

Here you go.

Take care of the horses.

Yes, sir.

I'll go to the Police Bureau.

She may have looked for us there.

Then I'll go home.

Fine. Let's hurry.

Are you sure?

Dong Yi is in the capital?

Yes, sir.

Sir!

If she couldn't come here because of watching eyes,

then she'll be staying somewhere quiet.

Can the two of you search the inns in the remote areas?

All right!

Jang Hee-Jae's men may follow you, so be careful.

Yes, Brother!

Welcome back.

A man came looking for me?

Yes,

I think Dong Yi sent him not knowing that you were dismissed.

A man...

He must be with the gisaeng from Uiju!

She's in the capital.

Go with Officer Cha and find Dong Yi!

Yes, sir! Let's go!

Your Majesty!

What am I to do now?

Your Majesty!

You haven't recovered fully yet!

Please lay down!

Dong Yi is in the palace.

How can I lie down and rest?

I can't wait any longer.

I must go to the Grand Palace.

Wh...what?

I must see His Majesty!

Your Majesty!

- Have you seen this girl? - No.

- May I ask you something? - Go ahead.

Have you seen this girl here?

No, I haven't.

Innkeeper, have you seen my steward?

No, I haven't.

You...?

Miss Sulhee?

I met her in Uiju and came here together with her.

And Dong Yi?

Where is she right now?

No, it's fine.

I'm glad to hear His Majesty is a handsome man!

Is His Majesty really that handsome?

I've never seen him before.

How... how can I answer that?

Dong Yi, you like handsome men too, right?

No, I like dark and sturdy men!

All the places we came together are the same.

But she's nowhere to be found.

Your Majesty...

This is... the sound of the Haegeum.

Your Majesty?

Your Majesty...

Is it you?

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Is it really you?

Am I really looking at you right now?

Your Majesty...

It is you!

Dong Yi!

It is you!
