[Episode 39]

Your Majesty, Ok Nyeo is waiting for you.

What for?

She wants to meet you to tell you something.

I think it's best if you don't meet her right now.

No. I'll go meet her.

Pardon?

Bring Ok Nyeo into the palace.

Pardon?

Ok Nyeo.

But... what about the lord?

Just come with me. Let's go.

Yes.

Let's go in.

Are we meeting the lord in the palace?

Correct.

Oh.

Sit.

What is it you want to tell me?

Your Majesty spoke with His Excellency Yoon Won Hyung about Ok Nyeo, I heard.

This is hard to say, but His Excellency Yoon Won Hyung

is intending to put an ugly spin to your meeting with Ok Nyeo.

I also know that.

However, Ok Nyeo and I did not do anything shameful like His Excellency Yoon Won Hyung suggests.

I will not allow him to use that as political leverage.

But Your Majesty, what matters

is that he knows about you and Ok Nyeo's meetings.

It's now a matter of time before Queen Dowager hears of it.

Queen Dowager has been looking for who you are meeting outside the palace for a while now.

If that person knows about Ok Nyeo, she will be in danger.

Your Majesty.

Don't worry about how I'm going to protect Ok Nyeo.

Your Majesty.

My Lord.

Where is Lord Oh Seon?

You'll know when you get there.

My Lord.

What is it?

Got it.

Please enter.

But... What is this place?

Come in and you'll find out.

Ah, yes.

My Lord!

Oh, it's Ok Nyeo.

What is this place?

This is the book room, as you can see.

This is the place where I spend most of my time inside the palace.

When I'm here my mind gets cleared.

But why are we meeting here?

Didn't I tell you there are those keeping an eye on you and I meeting?

Instead of meeting outside without them seeing,

I feel more comfortable meeting here.

Alright, what is it you wish to tell me?

I don't think I can meet you for a while.

Wait, why? Is there something wrong?

I just had a reason come up.

If that's what you want, that can't be helped. I understand.

The Rites Bureau has been demolished. Where will you be now?

I only became a practitioner at the divinity office to get out of slavery.

Since I'm not a practitioner there anymore,

I might return to being a slave again.

That won't happen so don't worry too much.

Pardon? How do you...

I don't have any power to change your identity but I plan to work on preventing you from becoming a slave again.

If you could do that, I'd never forget your favor.

Ok Nyeo.

Yes, My Lord?

You... Have you ever thought of living in the palace?

Pardon? Oh, well...

If you mean the palace...

How about becoming a palace maid?

I can help you become a court maiden who serves the King in the Grand Palace.

If you become a Grand Palace maid, you could be noticed by the king

And you could be granted an invitation to become a concubine.

Why... Why aren't you answering?

Forgive me, but I have never thought of that.

Is there a reason for that?

Quickly, answer me.

I have had someone in my heart for a long time.

Is that person... Yoon Tae Won?

How did you...

Lord Yoon Tae Won is the one in my heart.

When I was little, I first met him at the prison when he came in as a prisoner.

I was born and raised in the prison, so I've always dealt with prisoners.

But I had always kept my heart closed to the prisoners.

When that door first opened, it was for Lord Yoon Tae Won.

Even after time passed, in my heart it's always been just him.

However, we are not meant to be.

So the more I think about him, the more it pains me.

There is no reason? What does that mean?

Lord Yoon Tae Won and I have an irrevocable grudge.

The one who killed my mother and my teacher

is Lord Yoon Tae Won's father, His Excellency Yoon Won Hyung.

I don't know what to do about that grudge.

I shouldn't have said this to you.

Oh, no. No.

I'm just regretful that I am no help to you.

This was the first time I ever told anyone about my feelings.

I do feel lighter about the stress I was holding in.

If that is so, it's a relief.

I'll try hard to make sure you don't become a slave again so don't worry and wait.

Yes, My Lord. Thank you.

Okay.

Jae Seo, please escort Ok Nyeo.

Yes, My Lord.

You're not going?

Oh, I have some more reading to do. You should go first.

Yes, My Lord.

Oh, Your Highness!

Oh.

Lady Han, what are you doing here?

What? Well, yes, I just have an errand to run.

What are you doing? Quickly, escort her out.

Yes.

- Let's go. - Yes.

Let's go meet that child together.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Is Court Lady Park out there?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Did you call for me, Your Majesty?

I have something to ask you.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Are there specific conditions to nominate someone as concubine?

I mean as far as identity ranking.

As long as you want it, there won't be any reasons against it.

However in order to become your concubine, the matter weighed in on is the royal heir,

so it might be difficult if the ranking is too low.

But why do you suddenly ask about that?

Nothing. You may leave.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Oh, My Lord.

The Lord wants to see you.

Got it.

Right. What is it you want to say?

I have something I must ask you.

The child Miss Gab Ee gave birth to is a girl named Ok Nyeo.

My Lord, who is Ok Nyeo's father?

Perhaps, is he you?

No.

Then?

Miss Gab Ee

was graced by the King.

Ok Nyeo, that child,

is a princess.

Oh, so you guys are eating?

Forget it. Sit down, sit. Eat, eat.

Starting today you eat alone instead of with us.

Pardon? Isn't that too much?

Hey, Oh Jong Geum, are you going to keep talking rude to me? Want to die?

I understand.

It's alright.

The spoon, please...

Do you want more? Need anything?

Omo, look at that crazy girl. You're really craving attention.

Hey, you'll be roaming the streets like a real crazy woman soon with a flower in your hair.

Come back to your senses!

- Oh my... - Hey, go outside and eat!

You guys don't become like her. Get a hold of yourselves.

How am I, doctor? How am I?

Can't you shut that mouth and sit still?

Ah, yes.

Doctor, am I really pregnant?

Doctor!

That's right! You're pregnant.

I-Is that true?

Are you really sure I'm pregnant?

I'm telling you that it's true? You are. You are!

Thank you. Thank you, Doctor.

Aigoo, thank you! Thank you!

I haven't gone crazy. Thank you.

It was so unfair.

Thank you. Aigoo, thank you.

Ahjussi, the weather is great!

I'm a precious body.

I'm Oh Jong Geum. You guys are all dead.

- You scared me. - Ahjussi, I'm Oh Jong Geum.

Aigoo, baby!

Wow, is she nuts?

Jong Soo.

- How did it go? - I'm still waiting for the right time.

You have to quickly end it!

Just how long are you going to keep watching?

I am going to quickly finish it, so please do not worry.

Chief Jung Mak Gae was arrested by the Police Bureau.

If Examiner Choi says something wrong, it's all finished.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes.

- So if... - Hyungnim.

- Quickly, quickly. - Come. - Yes.

- So did you meet him? - Yes.

He's fretting, telling me to hurry and get rid of Examiner Choi and the witness.

We'll handle those two so you just tell Dong Chang you did it.

What do you plan to do?

You don't need to know that much.

Just do a good job so Dong Chang can't catch on.

Yes, sir. Please do not worry.

Ah, Man Soo, you say it.

Lord Yoon Tae Won is making a group of lawyers.

Lawyers? You mean those guys that do trials for you for money?

Yea, he's going to create lawyers again.

He's rallying up all the people in Hanyang who can read and write.

It seems like Chief Gong Jae Myung is funding it.

Is that wench Ok Nyeo going to keep on being a lawyer, too?

Pardon? Oh... I don't know about that.

I just know she quit the Rites Bureau.

Hey, this punk! No one knows that, so how could you?

You guys taking this job lightly?

- You want to die? - Nope.

Go to the warehouse.

- Let's go. - Yes.

I think they are using lawyers as excuse.

And that wench Ok Nyeo and Yoon Tae Won will get in the way of our company.

So next time, you'll die if you don't find out everything. Got it?

Ah, this punk.

You're laughing? Are you? Hey, this bastard.

Aigoo, are you okay?

Man Jong, what is this look on you?

Dong Chang. Why are you doing this to me?

So why aren't you giving me some ships?

Our purchased goods are going to rot because of you.

No, I can't! That's the truth.

Who did you give your boats to? Who did you partner with after betraying us?

Betrayal? That's not it. That will never be, Do Chang.

It's not that.

This bastard doesn't work with talk.

Hey, Hong Man Jong, you don't know me?

It's not even work to kill you without a soul finding out.

So tell me who you gave them to.

- Hurry and tell me! - Wait! Dong Chang!

This bastard!

Ok Nyeo. It was Ok Nyeo.

What? Ok Nyeo?

Yea, I partnered with Ok Nyeo. All my ships are there now.

Are you joking? Why would that wench take ships?

Ok Nyeo made a big company in the capital by gathering smaller companies.

Chipae Market's Moon and Bae Ok's Cha are all with her.

Cha Dae Myung went to the journey under Ok Nyeo's instruction, too.

- What? - Please...

Hyungnim.

Chief is looking for you.

Lock him in the warehouse.

Yes.

Chief, you wanted to see me?

We got a message from the police. Soon, my husband will come out.

Yes. Let's go to the Police Bureau.

- Hey, I need to go to Ok Nyeo so you tail Dong Chang. - Me?

Of course you, who else is here? What number is this? Wake up.

Hurry and go.

You always make me do the dangerous things.

Ok Nyeo! Ok Nyeo!

Hello.

What are you doing here?

Where is Ok Nyeo right now?

She's not here now. What's wrong?

It's big trouble. Dong Chang found out Ok Nyeo rallied the merchant bands.

What? How?

He captured Hong Man Jong and threatened to kill him.

So that bastard just told him everything.

This is making me crazy.

Jo Hee. Where is Ok Nyeo?

She's at the Rites Bureau, from what I know.

- Rites Bureau? - Yes.

You go there and wait for Ok Nyeo and tell her weve got urgent news to tell her when she comes out.

Yes.

Dear.

Yes.

You went through an ordeal.

You've weakened these few days.

Those bastards didn't torture you, did they?

Don't worry, nothing happened.

Sungnim worked very hard.

I can guess. Let's go see Nan Jung now.

Yes.

Let's go.

You went through an ordeal.

Thank you, Nan Jung.

I'll never forget your help.

Thank you, Sungnim.

I don't need your talk so just be careful from now on.

If you do this again, I will never forgive you. Got that?

- Yes, Sungnim. - Understood.

It was Manager Yang Dong Geun that arrested you, right?

It was. The only witness Ok Nyeo had at the trial was him, too.

I'm sure it's Ok Nyeo who's had us watched.

If we don't block her mouth, she will come and haunt us.

Madame, I have something to tell you urgently.

Ok Nyeo rallied up merchant groups to do something.

She rallied merchant groups?

Yes, including Hong Man Jong, who has shipping rights,

And Baeok's chief, Cha Dae Myung is now her underling, too.

What?

- Tae Won, don't ever meet that wench again. - Your Excellency!

This is for your good. You will gain nothing mixing with her.

So don't ever meet that girl Ok Nyeo again.

I will not follow that kind of order from you.

I have thus far carried out your orders and obeyed them.

But please don't get involved in this.

I will do what I want in this matter.

What talent does that wench have to hold both the king and Tae Won's heart?

What is it?

Have you made up your mind about what to do about the King and Ok Nyeo?

I am still considering it.

My Lord, there is no need to consider. I have thought this through.

And?

For the king and all of our sakes, we need to kill her as soon as possible.

Well, it's just that.

Also, it's not really an easy task.

Because of Ok Nyeo my brother got arrested by the police.

If I hadn't bribed the police director, he would have been executed.

What? For what would he have been executed for?

Ok Nyeo got in our way again.

My Lord, this isn't a matter to be considered lightly.

That girl must be gotten rid of before she continues to become trouble.

But I just don't know if we really need to.

My Lord, do as I say. We must kill her.

Your Excellency, Palace Guard Captain Gi Choon Soon is here.

Let him in.

Yes.

What is it?

My Lord, the king is calling Ok Nyeo into the palace to meet her.

What? Inside the palace with that girl?

Yes, Your Excellency.

What the hell is going on?

This, too.

Chief.

Hey, what's the matter with you?

Chief Jung Mak Gae who was arrested by the police is now released.

What? How when he's arrested for suspicion of murder?

I don't know the reason, either.

Where the hell is Ok Nyeo now?

Miss.

What are you doing here?

I became a water maid at Queen Dowager's palace on the Head of the Rites Bureau's recommendation.

I see. That's great. Young Jin, I may need your help in the future.

Yes, I'll do everything you say.

Don't say that stuff.

I got it.

Hey, is the Director in?

Yes, go on in.

- Eun Soo, you wait here. - Yes, Uncle.

This way, please.

Hyungnim, what brings you here suddenly?

I have some stuff to tell you.

I was thinking of meeting Jung Dae Shik the warden of Jeonokeo

Why are you meeting the Jeonokseo warden?

In order to do the lawyer work properly, we'll need to meet the warden often.

We should meet Jung Dae Shik to get the ball rolling, I thought.

I hadn't thought of that. Please take care of it.

Alright. Tae Won, these days I feel the zest of life.

What do you mean?

What else. This lawyer work is more fun as you work on it.

We haven't really started it.

In the future, we'll have our share of difficult work.

Well, I'm not scared of anything. You just trust me.

We should have done this sooner.

- Chief. - What is it?

Chief Jang is looking for you urgently.

We need to hurry and go.

Alright.

Hey.

What is it?

Hey, big trouble. Jung Nan Jung found out we rallied the merchants.

What do we do now? Jung Nan Jung won't just sit still.

Plus the Jung Mak Gae who was arrested has been released now.

Jung Nan Jung must have done someting.

What?

Your Majesty, you wanted to see me?

Have a seat.

I thought about things after hearing what you said.

I apologize if my sincere warning brought you stress.

As you said, I have been meeting Ok Nyeo.

However there was never what you suspected.

So from now on, if you threaten me again with this kind of matter, I will not forgive you.

If the rumor isn't true, what is your reason to meet that girl?

That's not your business.

Nan Jung said you were talking politics with her.

However, I don't believe that.

You have no reason to rule according to what that lowly girl says.

I can't help but be suspicious if you don't tell me why you meet her.

Ok Nyeo, that wench, did something vicious

to seduce your mind and mock the state affairs.

I can't forgive that girl Ok Nyeo for it.

That's enough. If you continue, I will blame you for the crime of holding me in contempt.

Yes, do that.

I would rather lose my life to reveal the truth

to preserve the royal family and the royal court's dignity.

Done.

Director, Chief Gong Jae Myung requests to meet you.

What? Chief Gong Jae Myung? Invite him in right away.

Why would he come?

Director, long time no see.

Yes, a long time. Let's have a seat.

Hey, long time, Chief. Have a seat.

So what brings you here to see me?

Sir, have you heard of lawyers?

Lawyers?

Yes, do you remember how Ok Nyeo took on the trial in Clerk Ji's stead in order to save him?

Right. That's what lawyers are. What about it?

I am thinking of doing this lawyer work.

In order to do that I will need your help so I came.

What? My help?

What do a lawyer and the prison have to do with each other that you need the Warden's help?

I think the ones who need a trial representative the most are the prisoners who might be wrongly arrested here.

I'd like you to approve the lawyers to come and find out what their stories are so they can be helped.

I see. You want me to approve the lawyers coming in and out?

Yes, sir.

Huh.

Well, that's kind of well, you know, right, Im?

How is Clerk Ji doing?

I think he needs to rest more from the beating.

Here. Take this and get some medicine for him.

Yes, Chief, I will be sure to give it to him.

Alright. I'm leaving.

Yes. Thank you, Chief.

Sir. Are you really going to allow the lawyers in and out?

You can't.

If the Ministry of Punishment finds out we're postponing the trials with the lawyers coming in and out we will be in trouble.

But we need to have fair trials. We can't let the commoners continue to be treated unfairly because they don't know the law.

Hey, Manager Im, it's because you've never dealt with a lawyer.

They pester us so much for the sake of the prisoners.

Sir, this is a no. Definitely a no.

Oh, Jeez.

Don't even think about it.

Chief, the provincial chiefs are asking us what they should do about the purchases they made.

I think we won't be able to find any ships.

It's better to get rid of the stuff before we suffer bigger losses after all the rotting.

It's true.

Tell them we will give up on selling them here so have them dispose the products in their own province.

But we will have a pretty big loss.

We will see even bigger loss if we lose our timing. What we've already lost is lost.

Yes.

Sungnim, what brings you here?

What have you decided about the products we purchased?

Before we lose out more, we've decided to have the provinces take care of them.

I'm sorry, Sungnim.

I've thought this more and we really can't let Ok Nyeo stay around. I am going to have to see to to her end.

But His Excellency Yoon Won Hyung plans to use Ok Nyeo and the king's relationship for political gain, I thought.

Nothing will pan out if we let him take care of it. I am going to have to see to this.

Yes, Sungnim, you held it back for too long. We should have killed her sooner.

Madame, let me do it.

No, Dong Chang, you are no match for Ok Nyeo.

Madame, if you give me one more chance.

Shut up. How are you going to face the consequences if you mess up?

I need someone who can handle this properly.

I have someone in mind.

Who is that?

Pay your respects. This is Madame Jung Nan Jung.

I'm Young Chun.

He was once a chaetamin (secret intelligence officer). His Excellency uses him in times of need as well.

I have a request from you.

Please speak.

Do you know Ok Nyeo?

Yes, I do. We used to work together as spies.

I need you to go kill her secretly.

What?

Does this make sense?

How could anyone have thought of it?

Sir.

- Have a seat. - Yes.

So why did you message me?

Sir, Jung Nan Jung's side found out we have been rallying up merchant bands to lower tax.

Hong Man Jong was captured by Jung Nan Jung's underlying Dong Chang and confessed.

So Jung Nan Jung knows about our identity completely?

No, she only knows I'm the chief. She doesn't know you're linked to this yet.

What is your plan now?

I think our only choice is to face off.

Yes, since this is what's happened, instead of hiding, we should just face them squarely.

- Right? - Yes, sir.

Our company

is good enough to compete with Jung Nan Jung so we needn't hide anymore.

Our company will be okay but what about you, Ok Nyeo?

Jung Nan Jung will definitely try to retaliate against you, based on your histories.

I think it's better to let her know I'm the leader.

Then she won't try to harm me.

No, you've already taken your hands off of the company.

This case is my responsibility.

Ok Nyeo. Ok Nyeo, you wanted to see me?

Yea. Can you contact Lord Yoon Tae Won and tell him I'd like to meet him tonight?

Tae Won Hyungnim? Alright,

I'll get going now.

Sir.

I brought her.

How's your father now?

He's getting better slowly.

Sir, I brought him.

This is a lawyer who will help you.

You can go with him and he will help you and your father take on the trial. Go with him.

Sir. Thank you. Really thank you.

I'll never forget this kindness.

It's alright. You can go now.

Let's go now.

Sir. You are very cool.

Hey, you finally realized that?

I wish someone would know about this, but the one who should know doesn't know.

You mean Chief Ok Nyeo?

How is the task of teaching about trials to the lawyers?

That guy who was a lawyer for a long time is really skilled.

He knows all about the way the officials rip off commoners

and all kinds of ways to avoid punishment.

We really feel to the core just how badly we were ripped off.

But how are you going to start this lawyer thing?

I mean, so what if they are good? The people don't know about lawyers.

A business needs customers to sell to and live off of!

We'll start our client base with the prisoners inside the prison.

The prisoners?

I met Jung Dae Shik at the prison and agreed on it.

Do Chung and Hyungnim, you go find out which prisoners need a lawyer.

Oh, got it.

Um... Can you hear what I have to say?

Go ahead.

What about women who are harassed by men.

Or beaten by their husbands but too scared to report to the police?

We also have cases that took place in bedrooms secretly.

I think we need people to know those are all punishable.

Yea, it's true.

We need lawyers to come out and help the women who are taken advantage of because they are women.

Above all else,

we have women who are afraid of coming to the trial personally despite making a lawsuit.

We need lawyers to take those messages.

You have given me good tips. I will definitely consider these.

Yes, sir.

Tae Won Hyungnim.

- What is it? - Ok Nyeo wants to see you.

Really? Good timing.

I wanted to discuss with Ok Nyeo about lawyers, too.

I can meet her today to talk.

Yes, Hyungnim.

Sorry for the long wait. Let's go.

Who are you?

Who are you?

- You punk you're not coming back here! - Do you have a mad death wish or something?

Let me go.

Ok Nyeo.

Ok Nyeo... Ok Nyeo...

Oh... blood!

Here.

Clerk Ji, come out!

Clerk Ji! Hurry up!

Clerk Ji, what happened?

Oh my.

Clerk Ji.

Oh my, Chun Doong.

Clerk Ji, you need to head out quickly!

There's big trouble!

What?

- Big trouble... - Ok Nyeo! Aigoo... Ok Nyeo...

Aigoo, our Ok Nyeo. Let's go in.

Go in.

Ok Nyeo.

Oh my.

This way.

Come back to your senses!

Ok Nyeo!

What about a doctor?

He's on his way.

Ok Nyeo.

Tae Won.

The doctor is here.

Aigoo. Aigoo, Ok Nyeo...

Tae Won.

He's a doctor.

- This way. - Okay.

How much is she hurt?

She's lost a lot of blood!

Aigoo, our Ok Nyeo can't die.

Hey!

How is she?

I can't find her pulse.

Aigoo...

- Ok Nyeo... - What needs to be done? How can she live?

There's nothing that can be done as of now.

We need to wait and see first.

Forgive me, sir.

Aigoo... Aigoo... Ok Nyeo...

- What's going on? - Oh dear...

Hey. You got hurt, too.

No, I'm all right. I need to head somewhere.

Hey!

Hey! Tae Won! Tae Won!

Tae Won, is she all right?

He says we need to wait and see.

What?

What brings you here?

His Majesty wants to meet with Ok Nyeo.

Ok Nyeo.

What happened?

Didn't His Majesty say that he'd protect Ok Nyeo?

But what did he do?

Tell him to save her!

Tell him to save her!

Your Majesty, I have urgent news.

Come in.

- What is it? - Ok Nyeo was stabbed by assassins.

What? Where's Ok Nyeo? How is she?

According to the doctor, nothing can be guaranteed.

Your Majesty.

Who did it?

I"m sorry, but they say they don't know.

Send the royal doctor to treat her right away.

Yes, Your Majesty.

How did it go? Did Ok Nyeo die?

She was stabbed and passed out.

She should soon be dead so don't worry.

My Lord, what brings you here?

Ok Nyeo was stabbed. Did you hear about it?

Ok Nyeo was stabbed?

Yea, that girl is about to die.

Do you know anything about it?

I don't know about it.

You don't? You didn't kill her?

My Lord, what are you talking about now?

You kept saying you wanted to kill Ok Nyeo.

I think you did it. You didn't?

I didn't. I wouldn't do something you didn't approve of.

I didn't do that.

Sir. I'll go find out what happened.

Seriously.

Let's go in.

What happened? Have a seat.

You already finished your journey?

No. We were blocked at the border.

What do you mean blocked?

Ming has halted all exchanges with Joseon.

What?

It is scary at the border right now.

We had our stuff all taken by the Ming soldiers.

We even lost two lives when we tried to argue with them.

We barely escaped death.

I need to meet the Chief. Is she inside?

She's...

What is it?

Chief is near death right now, after an attack.

Sir. Did you hear?

About what?

The borders between our nation and the Ming have been closed off.

What? Why suddenly?

My Lord, Ming envoys have cut off relations with us.

What? According to Minister Park, the Joseon army crossed

the Ming border in order to go after Kitans.

What?

The army crossed the border?

If that's the truth, this is troublesome.

Yes, they've already stopped all cross-border exchanges.

What do we do about this?

We need to send someone to check on the envoys.

No, this could be a great chance for us.

What? Chance?

The minister of war is Minister Lee Jeong Myeong.

This could be a chance for us to get rid of him and put our Daeyoon faction in control.

Right.

Good idea. It's true.

This.

Have a seat.

Sir, Ming has stopped all exchanges with Joseon.

Even the envoys have crossed the border without permission. What is this talk?

The Joseon army crossed the Ming boundary in pursuit of Kitans,

but the Kitan general who died is actually a Ming official.

What? So this isn't a trade issue but a huge problem between us.

Ming envoys might use this to demand outrageous conditions from us.

Not just that. Soyoon faction will use this to threaten the king and us.

They have the ball in their court so this won't be easy.

How is Ok Nyeo?

She's still unconscious.

Is Han outside?

Yes, Your Majesty.

You wanted to see me, Your Majesty?

About the girl named Ok Nyeo I met inside the palace.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Find a way to make that girl palace personnel.

What?

I considered it a lot and the only way to protect her

is to make Ok Nyeo palace personnel and draft her as my concubine.

You mean, not just a palace personnel, but a concubine?

That's your plan?

Yes.

Your Majesty, I understand how you cherish Ok Nyeo.

But that girl's very low identity rank will be an issue.

Yes, Your Majesty, as I have said to you before,

a concubine nomination pertains to future royal heirs.

As the captain said, her low rank will not only

be an issue with Queen Dowager but the ministers will all object.

That's my problem to worry about.

I'm going to stop them trying to pull her into some political battle.

Sir. You're here.

Yes, ma'am.

Did you meet Sir Lee Myung Han?

Yes. Please send a quick message to Lady Han.

Yes, sir.
