- Episode 41 -
Is it you, Geum Young?
Why are you...?
I know the cure, I'll treat you.
There are other female physician, too. Why should I be treated by you?
I was cured of the same illness.
I know the most about this disease
and that's why the head physician lady sent me here.
What do you think you are doing?!
I'm in the middle of treating her.
Get out!
You should get out and send another female physician.
I know the most about this illness.
Why are you talking back to me when I am telling you to send a different person in?
What are you afraid of that she can't receive my treatment?
How dare you to talk back to me like this?!
Get out right now!
No. Go ahead and treat me.
Madam!
Jang Geum is right.
Why should I be afraid that I can't receive the treatment?
I'm not sure what terrible things Court Lady Han said of me when she was dying,
but I have nothing to be ashamed of.
I have done nothing wrong. What should I be afraid of?
Go ahead and treat me.
Court Lady Han probably said she's the only good and righteous person in this world,
while treating me as if I am less than human.
I'm in your hands now.
Go ahead.
I'll bring up the medicine soon. Meanwhile, drink cinnamon persimmon Kompot or ginger tea.
Okay.
I hope you'll be successful both in taking revenge and in medicine.
I hope you can achieve both.
Madam, I'll do both.
But help me not to take revenge by misusing medicine,
just as they have misused food in order to gain power.
Please help me to win in a right way, a proper way.
Why did you receive treatment?
No one can know what's inside her mind.
What could she do to me?
If something happens to me, she won't be safe, either.
I'd rather see her be ruined that way.
Did you discover the cause of the illness?
No.
Then why did you go back in there after the order was given?
I did a head count and found that one female physician was missing.
I clearly gave you the next order.
You were to take charge of one of those three companies.
In such a serious situation, you disobeyed my orders to save a mere female physician.
And no communication for over 15 days!
But didn't he find a way to cure the disease?
That's why I'm saying this.
Without an intention to make a name for himself by disobeying orders,
how could he do such thing?
He should have reported the progress to the relief administrator or to me at least half way through!
If you were me, would you just let go of a general
who has broken down the command hierarchy system?
It wasn't an epidemic?
No, Your Majesty. We found out that it was food poisoning
so we sent urgent messages to various regions.
Is that right? That's very fortunate.
It is all because of your great luck, Your Majesty.
Were you the relief administrator during this plague?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Good work.
Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.
But Your Majesty, there is something I'd like to ask of you.
What is it?
You've been discharged after all.
I'm very sorry, Your Excellency.
You were rash this time.
They've been trying to find fault with us already.
How could you be so thoughtless?
I'll call you back in when the time is right,
so keep yourself out of trouble.
Like I said, I don't know when she'll be back.
I have the prescription with me so can't you just follow it to make the medicine?
You have the prescription?
Yes.
Okay, then if you pay up first, then I will somehow...
What are you going to do?
Oh, he's been pleading and he says he's sick.
Come inside.
Sure.
Didn't you see Sir Min Jung Ho on the way?
What about Sir Min?
He's been discharged so he left to go there.
He's been discharged?!
As an adjutant relief administrator, he went into the town without doing his job.
and he didn't send any reports at all. So he got discharged.
But even so, Jang Geum and Sir Min saved many people's lives, so why?!
That's how it normally is with those people up there.
When did they do anything that we could understand?
But still...
Welcome back!
What is it? Did something happen?
Though our lives were spared because of you and that physician lady,
we have lost all our homes and food.
Oh no...
The local government won't open up the rice storage,
they only yelled at us.
And they took all of our vegetables and grains
saying that they are diseased. Now there is nothing we can eat.
Oh, no, what do we do? Well, don't worry.
Sir Min will go to the office
and command them to open up the rice storage for relief.
I'm sorry, but I no longer have authority to do so.
What do you mean?! If you're an adjutant relief administrator
don't you have the authority of the relief work after the plague as well?
That's right. Sir, we need something to eat so we can try rebuilding our houses.
Yes, that's right.
I understand. I'll meet the town councilor here.
You see ... everything works out
if he moves. -Yes, that's right!
Then all our work has become futile again?
Young Ro says they don't know for sure.
But they came back after distinguishing themselves, didn't they?
Sir Min Jung Ho has been discharged, so we don't know what will happen to Jang Geum yet.
Then could she go back to the civilian office again?
She said the head physician is working on it.
What is this?!
Your Majesty, what is it?
Former deputy minister, Park Su Bok,
has made an appeal out of righteous indignation.
Why would he?
He says the deputy relief administrator
went to the plagued town with medicine.
He saved people and found the cause for their illness.
What is this all about?
Your Majesty, that is true.
However, he intentionally disobeyed the orders of the relief administrator
and he didn't report to his superiors, so his crimes are great.
Even though he has disobeyed orders and didn't send reports on time
he did a great job by saving people's lives and finding the cause of the plague.
He has achieved such a meritorious deed and yet you discharged him. How can that be?!
However, Your Majesty, he didn't carry out the orders.
If we do not handle it like this, we won't be able to exercise control when there's an emergency.
Is having control more important than saving people's lives?
And besides, he writes that
the official has gone back to that town to help those people.
People are grateful to him.
The office sinned against people when
we gave an order to lock down and burn the village
without finding the cause of illness.
Yet this official has helped them and should've been promoted.
Why did you ask me to punish him?!
But, Your Majesty, he has gone back into the town for private reasons
and because of that the next town that he was ordered to help did not receive any relief work at all.
Didn't he find the cause of illness with a female physician?
What more of a relief work can anyone do for people?
Call him in immediately!
How could this be?
Actually, former Deputy Minister Park Su Bok, who lives nearby the plagued town, asked me about you.
So all I did was to tell him the truth.
It seems the town people, who heard of your discharge,
have made petitions to him, stating how unfair your situation is.
And the deputy minister has made an appeal to the King.
The deputy minister did?
Yes. I'm taking care of his mother's health right now.
Yes, of course! Now things are turning out right.
Sir! Sir!
We ran here thinking you might have left already.
What is it?
What are these?
Actually, we didn't have much so
we brought the best of what we have.
Since we don't have much, we don't even have properly shaped ginseng.
We collected these from everyone in the village.
I'm sorry.
These precious things...
I can't receive them.
But it's their heart.
Just think that I've received them and cook them for the each of the town people here.
Oh, no...
No, ginseng should be good for you now that you've just been healed.
Isn't that right?
Yes, of course. Ginseng is a great restoration medicine after an illness.
So, please take them back.
Oh, no, you take one pocket of these and
the other can go to that physician lady.
Yes, please! We'll go now.
Bye!
I'll only take your heart.
Let's go.
It might get stolen.
You are saying that Yeol Yi didn't pass on the order of evacuation to you?
No.
If she had received the order, why would she go back to the locked down town by herself?
And you clearly gave the order?
Yes. Jo Dong and Cho Bok were at the same place.
Jo Dong and Cho Bok came at the given time according to my order.
Is that so?
Yes. Though the three of us didn't hear it together,
Jang Geum came while the order was being given to two of us
and she gave the order to Jang Geum after we left.
Did you hear the order that was given to Jang Geum?
Yes.
She only told me to bring medicine from Yong Je town.
That's not so.
Then what's going on here?
She says she told her and yet she says she didn't hear it.
What is it?
I think I did hear something about Yong Je town.
Listen to me carefully. You can remain here only if
Jang Geum goes to the civilian office.
So zip your mouth.
I was doubting it.
Even when you wanted to bet, I was really doubting it.
Let's go.
To where?
We should tell the head physician.
No! I'm scared!
How about Jang Geum?
It's because you didn't see her eyes when she told me, "Zip your mouth".
Please don't get me involved in this.
Jo Dong!
I don't know.
Even if the head physician lady asks me, I will say "I don't know". Okay?
No, you have to tell her.
Oh, no! I can't do it.
I'm scared.
Hurry and come.
Is it true that Jo Dong threatened Yeol Yi,
saying she heard something about Yong Je town?
- Pardon? - No, that's not true.
Just what are you doing to each other as female physician?!
Did Jang Geum tell you to do it?
Oh, no... we just wanted to know the truth.
Head physician lady, head physician...
I can't stay in the same place with Jang Geum anymore.
How could she even use my friends that she was trained with to do such things.
Either send Jang Geum or me to the civilian office.
Send one of us to another post, please.
No, let Jang Geum who's done great things stay here
and send me to the civilian office.
Call Jang Geum here.
Jang Geum, you really didn't receive the order?
This kind of thing never happened before you came here.
Jang Geum, they're calling for you.
What? What is it?
I've not known the world.
What is she talking about?
I know.
Sit down.
You'll have to go to the civilian office.
Pardon?
Only the two of you know who's lying here.
But it's clear that this type of thing never happened before you came here.
For female physician, not only are skills important,
but understanding and unity are important too.
You are clearly breaking all of those.
So go to the civilian office and learn how to care for people more.
I will notify the official at the civilian clinic.
Leave for the civilian clinic today
and report to him.
Madam! Madam!
What is it, Court Lady Min?
Jang Geum is being driven out to the civilian office.
She'll be going out of the palace to go there.
She'll be leaving the palace today without being able to see you, Madam!
How unfair is this? This is clearly Court Lady Choi's doing.
How could this be ... she's only been here for such a short time.
And how could Court Lady Choi do such thing to Jang Geum who's a female physician of royal pharmacy?
Madam, you don't know anything!
Don't you know what kind of people they are?
That's right!
Really?
Physician Lady Seo, where are you going?
Sir...
Where are you going with your belongings?
Sir Jung...
I've received an order to work at the civilian office.
But you're still just an assistant female physician.
Why would they send you there? Who?
Who did this? The head physician?
You don't need to go to the civilian office.
Follow me.
Just follow me without a word.
Jang Geum, why are you back?
He told you to go to the civilian office to reflect
and learn to care for people.
Female physician Seo doesn't need to learn any more of that.
This is under the jurisdiction of the Royal Pharmacy.
Head physician, Lord Min Jugn Ho has been promoted
as the Minister of Engineering and Production as well as the Head Official of the Royal Pharmacy. -Pardon?
Putting all she has accomplished aside,
she has taken care of the sick even while she was sick herself
and people have given her a gift out of gratitude.
How much more of caring for other people is she to learn?
People want to thank you by giving you this.
I've learned things that I couldn't have learned without you.
I only spoke of people in words, but I too was a typical noble man.
Anyway, why were they trying to drive you out to the civilian office, even after you've achieved meritorious deeds?
Sir, though I'm thankful for letting me stay here, if you concern yourself
with the positioning of female physicians...
You and I could be both... (in awkward position).
I was so embarrassed.
I know. How could he treat the head physician that way
in the presence of all of us?
What kind of relationship does Lord Min have with her?
Relationship?
Cho Bok told me that when he heard Jang Geum wasn't at the meeting place,
he went back into the locked down town and today...
I'm sorry. It didn't work out well.
The head physician has ordered her to leave
but the head official suddenly came in...
The head official? Are you saying there is a new minister of production?
Yes. Sir Min Jung Ho who was with Jang Geum at the locked down town.
Is the head official related to Jang Geum in some way?
This is...
Yes... It's the title to the medicine trade you want.
I haven't succeeded yet. I'll receive it with dignity once I've done it.
- Keep it. - Madam...
- Keep it. - Madam...
But you have to be properly my person from now on. Do you understand?
I will never forget your kindness.
Ma'am, I heard that you helped Lord Min Jung Ho.
I only did what one should do.
You saved me. I don't know how I could express my gratitude to you.
You're giving me goosebumps.
Be quiet ... go check the patients.
I'm having problems checking her pulse so I wanted you to see her.
Yes, ma'am.
Jang Geum! Jang Geum!
Jang Geum, it's a good news. What do you think it is?
Court Lady Lee is pregnant!
What?! Is that for real?
Yes, I just heard from-
We heard it from Court Lady Min herself so it's for sure!
How did she find out?
Court Lady Min said she had indigestion-
She had indigestion so she had an assistant female physician over
and she said Court Lady Lee's pregnant for sure.
So even the royal female physician came.
Just who heard all of these?
Did you hear these or did I hear them?
Why are you taking over?
Who thinks that to be a problem here?
Isn't that right, Jang Geum?
Yes ... Yes ...Ahjussi.
Madam, I don't know what to tell you.
It's a good thing. So why are you crying?
Who's crying? I'm just remembering the days when she was often chided.
Madam...
They did such things to you because you're so kind.
They should recognize those who are gentle and kind
but they looked down on them.
It's all because of you.
You taught me how to breathe and
you treated me as a mother and a sister.
Oh, don't mention it.
I deserve to die.
Please forgive me!
What is this sound?
I'm not sure.
We've been disrespectful because we've been immature.
Please forgive us.
We'll never do such things again.
Please forgive ... forgive us just this once.
You don't need...
It's not because you're immature but it's because you're mean!
If His Majesty had visited her more often
would you have been so rude as to not prepare Court Lady Lee the meals?!
A human being should be caring when one is going through hard times
and admonish when things are good.
So how could you seek for forgiveness with such attitude?!
But, we'll let go this time.
That's the heart of Court Lady Lee.
But! This is the only time you'll be let go. Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
Madam has to rest now, so go now!
Yes, ma'am.
Madam...!
Madam, you are a bird of eight colors.
When I saw Court Lady Han do that, I've been wanting to do the same so much!
You did good. I felt relieved seeing it.
Madam, I'm the attendant lady of the chief court lady.
Isn't that Young Ro?
Come in.
What brings you here?
The chief court lady congratulates you on your pregnancy
and she has sent a small gift to you.
She probably doesn't want to be that congratulating.
Oh, how could you say such a thing?
And what is that?
This is a gift from me.
We spent our childhood and palace maid days together.
I sincerely congratulate you.
Yes, it is a bitter-sweet relationship.
Sure. Please send her my thanks.
And since I'm now pregnant with His Majesty's child,
please let her know I need an attendant lady and a kitchen lady,
and that I will use Court Lady Min and Chang Yi, who were working as bath maids, for those positions.
Yes, ma'am.
Madam!
I've been feeling sorry for not being able to do that for you.
Your Majesty, I'm here to check your health this morning.
Are you feeling ill anywhere?
I'm fine.
Your Majesty, the chief court lady is here.
Did you call for me?
I heard that special court lady Lee is pregnant.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I called you because of it.
Jang Geum, you heard it too, right?
I've become her attendant lady!
I'm in her kitchen now.
Please let her know that I'm here.
Okay, sure.
Madam! Jang Geum is here.
Let her come in.
Please receive my obeisance.
Why are you like this, Jang Geum?
Please sit down and receive my obeisance, Madam.
Madam?
Yes, Madam.
You've just been promoted to Royal Noble Consort of Inner Court, Deputy Rank 4, Lady Sukwon.
What?!
Please have a seat.
Sukwon: A title for Royal Noble Consort of Inner Court, Deputy Rank 4 (8th level).
Congratulations, Madam.
I don't know why such things keeps happening.
I've been trying so hard to prevent the King from going to Court Lady Lee's quarters.
I've been trying so hard to prevent the King from going to Court Lady Lee's quarters.
She's now Sukwon?
Lady Sukwon (Deputy Rank 4)?
On top of that, you've been ordered to personally serve her table!
Jang Geum, this is all because you came back.
Even when I first met His Majesty,
I was thinking of you.
It's because you're blessed.
Madam, a table from the royal kitchen is here.
The Queen has ordered a special table for you.
Let her come in.
You've brought this yourself?
Yes. Her Majesty has asked me to find out
whether you are having any trouble taking food in.
None, yet.
Open the lids.
What's wrong? You don't like the smell?
I'm sorry, Court Lady Choi. I can't take this.
Can you prepare me another table?
Please wait few more minutes.
I'll bring another table.
Take the tables out.
Madam...
Madam... what would you like then?
Please teach me.
I'm not sure.
I'm hungry, but I feel nauseated whenever I see the food.
I'm sure I wouldn't feel that way if Court Lady Jung prepared the table.
I think something is missing with Court Lady Choi's table.
Don't you agree?
I don't think I can eat today so cancel the table.
Try to figure out that missing ingredient.
How malicious of her?!
She's intent on humiliating you in front of Jang Geum as well!
Madam, even so she's the Head Lady of the Kitchen.
You should at least protect the honor of her position.
I'm sorry, Court Lady Choi.
I don't think I can eat it for real.
Sure, Madam I will prepare the table again.
Congratulations, Lady Sukwon.
One can't really be too sure of the future.
I'm receiving your congratulations, Court Lady Choi.
If Court Lady Jung were here, she would have looked at this rather humorously.
Then Jang Geum isn't the problem right now!
She was very close to Court Lady Jung.
Not only because of Jang Geum, but because of how Court Lady Jung was sent out,
she probably has a lot of grudges.
We can't be victimized like this.
His Majesty favored Court Lady Jung, too.
And I heard that His Majesty often rejects the advice of Right Prime Minister, Oh Gyum Ho.
What?!
His power is still firm, so there isn't much problem with that...
No. The Right Prime Minister did say that he's worried
about the King's changing attitude.
We can't stay this way. What if Lady Sukwon Lee gives birth to a prince...
Jang Geum, you can take care of me, right?
Yes, I think I can become an official female physician
from being an assistant and will probably be assigned to a residence.
Really?
I'll put in a request.
All the assistant female physicians have done their job
so they have been promoted to official female physicians.
So although we'll gather to discuss about any sicknesses,
each one of them will be assigned to a residence.
- Did you assign them? - Yes.
Go ahead and announce them.
Two female physicians will be assigned to each residence. They are responsible for morning checkups,
and always be around the residence to observe.
Yes.
Eun Bi will remain at the Queen Dowager's palace.
Yes.
Crown Prince Palace, Shin Bi.
Yes, head lady.
And the Queen's Palace that Yeol Yi has been doing...
Jang Geum will be there now.
But Jang Geum hasn't been here that long.
But the Queen trusts her very much.
She's the only one.
Keep going.
Yeol Yi will serve Lady Lee who has been promoted to the Sukwon position recently.
Yes, ma'am.
And everyone else will remain the same.
Although there are designated female physicians,
making medicine and serving in other capacity will be shared together from
the Queen's palace to Sukwon's.
So, everyone, do your best.
Yes, ma'am.
Jang Geum, you've been given a heavy responsibility. Do well.
So it turned out this way.
I know. Could it be because of Sir Min?
Physician lady, Yeol Yi, don't ever lose heart.
Since we're all on your side if you keep up your diligence,
you'll get the Queen's palace again.
No, it turned out well.
This way Jang Geum will not hold me in check.
Physician lady Yeol Yi is such a good person.
What is it?
It's nothing.
I will tell you later.
Is it something personal?
No... it's about the positioning of female physician...
Why? Wasn't the Queen's palace what you wanted?
We considered your bad relationship with Yeol Yi,
we put you two far away from each other.
Besides, Yeol Yi was willing to yield so that's why we put you there.
So what else is the problem?
It's nothing.
Madam, it's female physician Jang Geum.
Let her come in.
Welcome. I heard Yeol Yi became the female physician in charge of my health.
I wanted it to be you.
Oh, no, Madam.
Physician lady Yeol Yi has more experience and better skills than I do.
I will leave now.
From the Head of Royal Pharmacy to Lady Sukwon Lee... so you know everyone.
I was stupid to challenge you not knowing all of your connections.
So I have come away clean.
So don't provoke me either.
I'm in charge of here. Do you want to kick me out of here too?
Or you can't trust my skills?
No ... I've just known them from the past.
Please take good care of her.
Jang Geum asked me to take good care of you.
I hear that she's close to you.
Yes. We've known each other since childhood.
Don't worry. I will serve you better than Jang Geum can.
Sure.
Was there anything wrong with the pulse?
No, Madam. But the chance of miscarriage is the highest during the first four months.
You should always be careful.
Starting with the second month, you will be wanting something sour.
It's because your liver starts to give blood to the child.
So don't think it's strange and go ahead and consume sour food.
Are you craving any particular dish?
No.
Please tell me.
If that's true it's because one of your organs has turned weak.
I will help you from food to your walks.
Please don't worry about anything.
Sure. Actually, I'm little afraid.
My mother had a hard labor with me
and she was sick for a long time after giving birth.
Don't worry I will serve you wholeheartedly.
So you're in charge of Lady Lee now?
Yes, Madam.
That's good for now.
Even so, Jang Geum will be visiting there often.
But she won't be able to cross into my domain.
Why?
That's how it is in the royal pharmacy at this time.
So did you think about how you're going to make her miscarry?
Yes. I've checked her pulse and it didn't seem difficult.
Even so, it's the King's child.
If you're discovered, you'll be in danger.
Don't worry, I won't be found out.
How is Queen Dowager's health?
Besides her symptoms of age there is nothing else.
That's right.
How about the Queen?
Jang Geum said her neck and shoulders ache, so we're giving her medicine.
It's a common symptom due to the weight of the hair piece.
Massage her often.
Yes, sir.
How is Lady Lee?
She has Yu pulse, feeling dizzy with little headache and she hears echoes.
It must be anemia.
Yes.
It's common when one becomes pregnant
so take extra care with food.
Yes, we're doing that.
If the symptoms get worse bring up angelica root medicine.
Yes, sir.
Jang Geum!
Madam.
Why don't you visit these days?
Since physician lady Yeol Yi is there, it feels little awkward to go there.
Really? Yeol Yi is very good, indeed.
Really?
Yes, she makes sure Lady Lee gets good food, clothes and enough exercise.
She even reads books to her for the baby.
Really?
And because of her anemia she bothers us to bring up good food.
That's a relief.
But Lady Lee is still worrying so much about her pregnancy.
Yeol Yi is having a hard time.
Lady Lee has symptoms of anemia so she has to eat oyster, bone soup, milk,
egg, shrimp and fish everyday.
You see, I wasn't lying.
But those ingredients are precious,
and don't even go to His and Her Majesties often.
She's pregnant, please do allow this.
Yes, Madam.
If His Majesty finds out that Lady Lee turned weak because of food, he will be angry.
I understand. I will try to get it allowed.
Jang Geum.
You're here for Lady Lee's table, huh?
Yes. The Head Court Lady wouldn't give us the ingredients,
so Yeol Yi said she would try to convince her.
Physician lady Yeol Yi is doing well, right?
Yes. She's really better than us in caring for her.
Really?
It's angelica root medicine good for anemia.
I'm still scared even though you're taking such good care of me.
Maybe it's because I keep remembering my mother.
My heart pounds and I get dizzy.
Being anxious is the worst thing for the baby in the womb.
Please calm down.
Lie down please.
In order to have a calm mind and to breath together with the baby inside,
you need to breath with your abdomen.
Breathe in...
Exhale...
Continue doing it.
If the way is called the way then it is not the true way.
If the name is called the name then it's not the true name.
Having no name is caused by heaven and earth.
Having a name is the mother of all things.
Madam, what is it?
I'm having such a hard time.
Hard time?
No matter how much Yeol Yi assures her, she won't stop worrying.
She isn't feeling ill, is she?
She feels dizzy, has headaches, and hears echoes.
That's anemia.
I know. No matter how many times Yeol Yi tells her so,
whenever Yeol Yi isn't there, she says she's feeling stuffy one day and other days she feels her heart is pounding fast.
She just doesn't leave me alone.
So you go and tell her that, 'It's alright. It's really fine."
You just need to tell her that.
Since she trusts you.
But if physician lady Yeol Yi comes...
No, she already visited her today.
Madam, anemia is a common symptom for pregnant ladies.
So that's why Yeol Yi is getting oysters, milk and bone soup and such.
I know that. But my father told me that my mother had similar symptoms...
dizziness, headache, and echoes ... but...
it turned out to be a bad illness when she was giving birth to me.
He said she shouldn't have bore me.
Anemia could cause a difficult delivery
but since you're eating well now you're different from your mother.
Is that right?
Yes, so don't worry.
Now I can relax hearing your words.
So you won't be saying those things anymore, right?
Now I can relax, too.
She would sit still and suddenly tell me that her neck feels stiff
or her heart is beating faster...
she has a headache ... or her eyes feel dry.
And when she lies down she felt like the sky is turning.
Are you saying you feel dizzy even when you're lying down,
not only when you try to stand up from sitting position?
Yes.
And it's not just a headache but your neck feels stiff?
Yes.
And your eyes and head feel cloudy?
Yes... why? Is something wrong?
Please show me your hand.
How was your mother when she delivered you?
According to my father,
her limbs were swollen even before the month of delivery.
Before the actual delivery, she kept on fainting and had spasms.
She even had paralysis.
After the delivery, she bled so much that she could not get up at all. Not even once.
Even until when I came into the palace.
I was born so small, and they thought I died because I wasn't breathing
but he told me I managed to survive somehow.
They're symptoms of high blood pressure.
It's not anemia?
What is that?
It's nothing to worry about.
I'll report the details to the physicians
and get a more accurate diagnosis.
So don't worry about too much.
For real?
Yes. You trust me, don't you?
Sir...
What is it?
How are symptoms of anemia different from those of high blood pressure?
They both have dizziness and echoes.
The dizziness from anemia is when there is a change of position
and dizziness from high blood pressure comes even when lying down.
And anemic has a frontal headache
whereas the high blood pressure causes a stiff neck and shoulders.
Both feel anxious and suffer insomnia
but the anemic's face turns dark and yellow.
whereas the person with high blood pressure has a reddish face.
Can a skinny person have symptoms of high blood pressure too?
Of course, she can show such symptoms if it's inherited from her parents.
Why do you ask?
What can happen if that person becomes pregnant?
It can be very dangerous to the mother and the baby.
It's especially for the baby, 9 out of 10 may not make it.
So for those women showing symptoms of high blood pressure,
the illness must be treated first before she conceives.
What happens if oyster, milk, bone soup and such are served to her?
Who would do such dangerous things?
Physician lady Yeol Yi, Yeol Yi ... did you see her?
Why? Is something wrong?
Did you see her?
She said she was going to the royal kitchen for Lady Lee's food.
Was physician lady Yeol Yi here?
Physician lady Yeol Yi...
I don't know. I think I did see her for a moment here.
Did she go to the head court lady?
Then when showing symptoms of high blood pressure,
being pregnant itself is dangerous?
Yes. So she must avoid all types of high calorie food such as
oyster, milk, egg, fish and anything salty.
Even if she is extremely careful, it's still dangerous.
But keep serving her high calorie dishes?
Yes. Soon she'll have difficulty breathing and
she can even suffer paralysis or spasms.
Then...
The baby can't live.
