[Episode 45]

Is there no news about His Majesty?

Yes, Your Highness.

I'll have to go to His Majesty's palace hall.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Majesty.

You can't leave us this way.

I haven't been able to tell you who I am.

I haven't had the opportunity to tell you my identity.

Your Majesty! Please open your eyes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Please open your eyes,

Your Majesty, please!

Please open your eyes.

Your Majesty!

Ok Nyeo.

Your Majesty, are you awake?

Why

are you here?

Your Majesty!

How did you get here?

Your Majesty, are you better?

It's a huge relief that you've awoken.

We need to bring in the royal doctor.

Your humble servant will go and get Han Sang Gong.

No need to.

You don't have to be anxious.

Your Majesty.

Why are you here? I want to know.

I heard Your Majesty is seriously ill,

so I made up my mind that I must see Your Majesty.

Ok Nyeo.

Yes, Your Majesty.

For coming to see me, I'm very grateful.

But, there must be many people watching you.

Your chief body guard and court Lady Han helped me to have

discreet access to your bed chamber.

You don't have to worry, Your Majesty.

Alright.

Are you really fine?

The royal physician said you've suffered from acute myocardial infarction (진심통/眞心痛).

Acute myocardial infarction is a serious life-threatening disease. Are you aware of that?

This is an old chronic condition of mine.

It got worse after Crown Prince left this world in a such shocking way.

But it will slowly be better.

Don't worry too much.

Your Majesty.

What did you just say? Why is Queen Dowager on her way here?

Where is she now?

She would have passed Sajeongjun already.

I got it.

Your Majesty, you are awake?

Is Queen Dowager on her way here?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Is there enough time to get Ok Nyeo out of here?

That... That looks like it's not possible.

Where is Han Sang Gong?

She is looking after His Majesty in his bed chamber.

Open the door.

Yes, Your Highness.

Queen Dowager.

Where's the royal physician? Why are you here alone?

Royal physician has gone to dispense some medicine and

should be back soon.

You can leave for a while now.

Yes?

I will take care of His Majesty. You can go out for a while.

Yes, Your Highness.

I don't know how long it's been since I have seen Your Majesty while you were sleeping.

The last time I've seen you must have been at the east palace.

Your Majesty,

since then, has started being ill.

You've caused your mother to tremble with fear countless times.

However, back then you would get well every time, and thus I was able to be at peace.

This time, I'll believe Your Majesty will get better too.

Are you still mourning the passing of Crown Prince.

Even when he left this world the way he did,

you did not once cry in front me.

I do know that you held back because you

did not want me to be upset.

Is that why you've become ill like this?

Or is it because I've hurt you with the words I've spoken to you?

You asked me once about the attempt

to poison the former king and whether I killed

the court ladies from the eastern pavilion who were aware of it.

Why did you? Why?

Did I ever ask you to

harm my brother so I could ascend to the throne?

Or to murder the innocent court maidens in order to protect the throne for me?

What exactly... is this position that...

What is the value of this position that you committed such treachery?

I was very resentful of you at the time.

I didn't think you would scold me so viciously.

Every decision and choice I've made since you were born

have been for your benefit.

That's the reason why I've had to hurt you just

the way you've had to hurt me.

I too have scolded you viciously as well.

I deeply regret that.

I feel responsible for the state you are in

and it's breaking my heart.

So hurry and wake up now.

If you are not going to kill me by drying up by heart

please tell me you are not ill because of me.

All of this was done for your benefit.

Even if we went back in time, I would've made the same decision.

Even if I'm punished a thousand times and am dropped into the inferno of hell,

there is nothing I wouldn't do in order to protect you.

I will for sure find the court lady from the east pavilion and have her killed.

I will kill anyone who knows about it or who

interferes with your work.

Your Majesty, hurry wake up.

Wake up now and tell me that you understand me.

You're a dutiful son, aren't you?

Don't rip my heart any longer.

Tell me that it wasn't me who made you sick, Your Majesty!

Is Queen Dowager in the bed chamber?

What about Ok Nyeo?

She's in there with them.

What?

Your Highness.

If you sense any improvement in the health of the king,

notify me without delay.

Yes, Your Highness.

Let's go.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, are you all right?

Did my mother return to her quarters?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Ok Nyeo, come out now.

You must have heard everything my mother said.

I am too embarrassed to look at you.

Do not be concerned.

You've just gained your consciousness

and I worry this could cause a reverse in your recovery.

Okay.

I will call for you as soon as I recover.

You may leave now.

Jae Seo, please escort Ok Nyeo to her residence.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Let's go.

Yes, Sir.

Han Sang Goong.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Please notify Queen Dowager that I've awakened at hanshil (9 - 11 pm)

Yes, Your Majesty.

I will do as your ordered.

I will for sure find and kill the court ladies from east pavilion.

I will also kill anyone who knows about it

or who interferes with your work.

Chief.

Sir.

You can head back now.

All right.

What happened?

How is the king?

- Thankfully, he woke up. - What?

Is that true?

Please go and relay this information to Sir Gang Sun Heo.

Yes, I understand.

Like I told your before you may go to the local tavern

and have some nighttime snacks on my credit.

Sorry?

I'll take care of here so hurry along!

- Yes, Sir! - Let's go!

Ah, really. Who knew the local tavern could come in so handy.

It's here.

- Tae Won. - Sir!

Are you all right?

What brings you here?

What do you mean? I was worried about you!

What a thing to worry about.

You don't have time, so hurry wrap it up.

- Thank you, Sir. - Yes.

Why are you looking at me like that? This is not the first time I'm behind bars.

I knew this would happen. This isn't such a simple problem.

Yes, Sir. From what I found out,

things are looking very serious.

Is it because of Jung Nan Jung's cousin?

Despite knowing that, you still filed a lawsuit?

I said, don't worry.

Would they really kill me for standing as a lawyer?

The problem is what Jung Nan Jung is planning.

Chief of Police is speaking like he will get rid of all lawyers on the order of Jung Nan Jung.

He will use you as a warning to all other lawyers.

What should we do about this, Tae Won?

This is Jong Geum, Your Excellency. May I come in?

Come in.

What brings you in the middle of the night?

Your complexion doesn't look so well!

Of course not.

It doesn't look like the king will recover

and Queen Dowager is very very concerned.

Aigoo. Daegam.

I know it'll only be a small measure but I will do my best to comfort you.

What are you talking about?

Please come to my quarters tonight.

I will prepare myself and wait for you.

Who knows?

You may feel less burdened with my massage.

What are you trying to say right now?

Are you trying to seduce me?

Can't I do that?

This woman has gone crazy!

Your manipulative ways.

Pardon? Omo omo, Your Excellency.

Shouldn't you be worried about taking good care of yourself

in your condition instead of placing your attention elsewhere?

Well, that is.

Such manipulation. Get out of here, now.

Your Excelency. You are upsetting me.

Off with you!

I'm so upset, Your Excellency.

Your Excellency! Your Excellency!

You've received a message from the palace.

What is it? It can't be about His Majesty...

His Majesty has woken up!

W-What?

King.

Mother.

King. This mother was so worried you might not get up.

I've worried you greatly.

I'm sorry.

No, to see you up like this, it's all fine.

How is the king's health?

He's still suffering pain in the heart and his pulse is weak so he needs absolute rest.

Please devote yourself to his quick recovery.

Yes, Your Highness.

Before I liked her, Yoo Geum liked me a lot more.

I'm telling you the truth.

Sir.

Ok Nyeo.

Manager Yang?

Have a seat.

Ok Nyeo, you too.

Sir, why is Sir Yoon Tae Won here in the prison?

He's been told to serve jail time here for the crime of contempt of court in the trial and against the chief of police.

He's be on trial in five days.

What?

The chief of police ordered him to be locked up here awaiting trial.

How is being a lawyer at the trial equal to contempt of court?

It's all Jung Nan Jung's doing.

It's just a few lashes, so don't worry.

That won't end so easily is what I'm saying.

Don't be like that and go to Lord Yoon Won Hyung...

Don't talk about that.

Clerk Ji, take me to the cell at once.

Yes, sir, let's go.

Sir! Sir!

He's just... Ok Nyeo, have a seat.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Chief of Police is trying to have Jung Nan Jung get him promoted.

He's doing whatever it takes to be on Jung Nan Jung's good side.

What?

Hey, hurry up.

Sir.

Just let us know if you ever need anything.

Don't worry about me and just tend to your work.

Alright. I'll come with food later.

Where's Yoon Tae Won? Did you get him checked in?

Yes, I just put him in the cell.

Now, with the crime of contempt of court in the case of Um Nom,

the Ministry of Punishment is going to change the trial.

What? They are too much.

They are out to end that little kid's life.

Yoon Tae Won will be on trial in five days too, I heard.

Hey, nothing will happen to Yoon Tae Won.

He's Excellency Yoon Won Hyung's bastard son!

But Lord Yoon Tae Won cut off ties with Excellency Yoon Won Hyung.

In the middle of that, he offended Madame Jung Nan Jung.

He probably won't so easily get out from this.

But still they just need to put together some money to pay for his crime with a fine.

Eon Nom will be the only pitiful one after all.

Sir, that's that.

Are you going to allow the lawyers continue to come to the prison with things like this?

The way I see it, it shouldn't even start.

What do you mean don't start?

If the lawyers continue to come to the prison,

it will bring you trouble too.

What? Why?

It's like you hook up the lawyers with the prisoners.

Once the police find out, do you think they will just sit back?

Sir, you should just not allow the lawyers here anymore.

And cancel that deal working with Gong Jae Myung

so we can live.

Jeez.

Listen to me, sir. You too.

Listen to what? Why won't you allow us to do something good?

Gong Jae Myung, no. No on that lawyer.

Listen to me.

Director.

Have you been well?

We came to meet Lord Yoon Tae Won for a moment.

Oh, well about that... I need to talk to you first.

First, let's go in.

Sir, what do you mean?

Don't come?

So it's because...

For now, you guys need to stop coming to the prison.

What? But what do you mean?

Stop coming here?

Then, what about the trials we are working with the prisoners on?

Just stop them for now.

What? Sir!

You guys saw how Yoon Tae Won was arrested by the police.

I won't talk long.

For now, don't come here as lawyers anymore.

Go now.

Go where?

Why are you like this suddenly?

Then, what am I supposed to do?

Sir. Then, at least let us see Tae Won briefly.

- Sir. - Go back.

- Sir. - Yeah, go back.

Administrator!

Sir! Why!

Hey, go.

Did you see Tae Won?

What did he say?

What? Why so down?

We didn't even get to see Tae Won before getting kicked out.

What?

They said not to show up around the prison anymore.

So you guys just came back without seeing him?

Hey! We got kicked out so how can we meet him?

Jung Dae Shik, that jerk. He's saving himself already.

What do we do now, Chief?

Before it gets bigger, we need to pull Tae Won out.

He messed with Jung Nan Jung's cousin, so it won't be easy.

Then, can you go make a plea with Excellency Yoon Won Hyung?

Hey! Tae Won cut off ties with Excellency Yoon Won Hyung!

But I know that.

But Excellency Yoon Won Hyung is our only hope.

Uncle!

Alright.

Hey. He's here.

Hey, are you crazy?

Are you trying to get yourselves killed?

Say sorry if you did something wrong.

How dare you stare at me.

What's it to you if we stare or blink?

What?

What a jerk!

And what are you staring at?

You slap someone who is determined to die? Why, thank you, you bastard!

Hey.

Like that.

Kick him.

Why should I know who you are!

This is what should happen to you.

Hey!

What the heck are yo doing?

Why those!

Hey!

My.

Man Ho!

Man Ho, wake up!

Oh my. How did this happen?

Nan Jung!

What is it?

Man Ho got beaten by thugs and was severely hurt.

What?

Noonim!

What the heck happened?

It was Yoon Tae Won's underlings that did this.

He lost the trial and got locked up in jail,

so he retaliated against me.

What?

How can he do this to a person?

Ouch.

Go in. He's inside.

Yes, Agassi.

What did you want to tell me?

Your Excellency, Tae Won is in the prison right now.

What? Why prison?

He was working as a trial lawyer

but got locked up for the crime of holding the police in contempt.

He will have a trial in 5 days.

Your Excellency, you're the only one who can get him out.

Please help Tae Won once more.

You didn't know, huh? He personally said he'd cut off ties with me.

So whatever happens to him, it's not my business.

Your Excellency, he couldn't have meant it.

Tae Won may say that he holds you very precious.

The bond between father and son

isn't something that can be cut off.

Please be generous and forgive him.

That kid's gone nuts over that girl Ok Nyeo,

so he doesn't even care about his father.

I'll persuade him.

Please forgive Tae Won.

Are you nuts?

Forgive Yoon Tae won?

Why would he forgive someone who personally cut off blood ties?

You stay out of it.

Your Excellency, Yoon Tae Won betrayed you and offended me.

How can you forgive him?

Get out at once, and if you try to meet His Excellency again

over Yoon Tae Won, you'll have to rescue your own life first.

Why do you look at me like that?

Was I wrong?

How long will you treat Yoon Tae Won so badly?

It's because you are so cold and mean to him that he's rebelled.

Your Excellency, do you know who Yoon Tae Won is representing?

It's someone who tried to kill Man Ho with a sickle.

Jung Man Ho?

Yes. Yoon Tae Won

knew about my and Man Ho's relationship so he went after it on purpose.

And once he lost at trial,

he beat up Man Ho by sending his underlings.

I can't forgive him anymore.

So? What do you want to do then?

Will you only be happy once my own kid's on trial?

If that will help Yoon Tae Won wake up.

You have spoiled Yoon Tae Won,

and that's why he's doing that useless lawyer thing with Ok Nyeo.

This is your chance to teach him a lesson.

If you cherish Yoon Tae Won, then do nothing.

That's what's best for him.

That kid.

What's going on?

Chief. We taught Jung Man Ho a lesson.

Yes, we beat the crap out of him.

What? Who told you to do something you weren't given orders for?

Well, if the law doesn't do it, we'll use our fists.

Or else, how can we deal with this unfairness?

Someone like him should be killed instead of left half paralyzed.

Chief.

Alright.

But Jung Man Ho might go after you so go in hiding.

Yes.

- Sir. - Ok Nyeo.

Have some.

Did you make it?

Yes.

I get this great treatment as a prisoner.

I get to eat food made by Ok Nyeo.

Let's eat it together.

No, I'm fine. Have a lot.

Even after seeing Excellency Yoon Won Hyung and Jung Nan Jung's doings,

and Queen Dowager and Soyoon's control of this nation,

I thought the law belonged to everyone.

I thought the law couldn't protect everyone,

but it could at least give you a last chance to save yourself.

So no matter how they wielded the law to their interest,

we could be spared from unfair situations if we responded smartly.

But just how foolish my thinking really was,

I finally realize now. The law is only a weapon and strategy to the have's.

I agree with you.

Yeong Bae and Jeong Soo who are working under me

retaliated on Jung Man Ho.

- What? - After hearing that, I scolded them.

But after thinking about it, it was something that the law couldn't resolve

that they went and resolved.

If they threaten us with sword and blood,

I will repay them just the same is what I am thinking.

I don't know if I did anything to change their greedy ways.

Sir.

Long time no see, Jin Myeong.

Did Sir Gang Sun Ho send you?

You chose foolishly.

Sir.

Joon Soo.

Go behind me.

Sir. Long time no see.

What are you doing?

I am here to give you a final warning.

You made a very foolish choice to align with Daeyoon.

You were once the captain of the intelligence officers.

How are you so dumb in politics?

Better than you, who chose to be Yoon Won Hyung's dog,

by a hundred times.

If you will continue to go after Excellency Yoon Won Hyung,

you and I won't be able avoid a face off.

So you should choose wisely now,

or else not just you, but these men who follow you too,

will lose their lives.

You will be the one to lose your life if you don't walk out of Yoon Won Hyung's shadow.

I tell you again.

This is the last warning.

Next time, when we meet, you will need to

be prepared to die.

- Are you alright? - I'm sorry, sir.

Joo Cheol Gi found out everything so this is really bad.

Alert the members to watch out for Joo Cheol Gi.

Sir.

Sir Joo Cheol Gi would like to see you. Come with us.

If you don't want to die, don't try anything.

We brought her.

Long time no see, sir.

It's been long time, but I'm up to date on your whereabouts.

You're working as Ok Nyeo's guard under Gang Sun Ho's recommendation?

Yes.

Cho Hee, you were the one I treasured the most among the intelligence officers.

But why did you make that choice?

It's still not too late. If you want to protect your life, come work for me.

What's happened?

I said, what's happened?

Your Highness, I saw Lord Joo Cheol Gi today.

- What? - He tried to lure me

to betray you and go work under him.

So then? What did you say?

I said I'd consider it.

Don't reject him and say you will.

What? And do what?

I've got a plan so do as I say.

Yes.

It's finished, Your Majesty.

Alright.

Everyone step out except for the royal physician.

Yes, Your Majesty.

How is my condition?

Your Majesty is suffering pain to the heart due to bad blood.

We are treating you with needles and oral medicine, so we should see improvement soon.

Royal physician, it's just you and me here.

You may tell me the truth.

Your Majesty.

Tell me.

Your Majesty,

you are not recovered.

Your heart disease is not something treatable

by current medical advances.

Your Majesty, if you suffer another attack and lose consciousness,

there is no guarantee then.

You mean, I might die at any time, right?

Your Majesty, it's all my incompetence.

Kill me, Your Majesty.

Your Highness, this is all our fault

for failing to properly care after His Majesty.

We are sorry, Your Highness.

We are sorry.

Your Highness, you must have been sick with worry.

Thank goodness His Majesty is back up safely.

It could have gone very badly.

That can't just be your fault.

My crime of not taking care of his health

is the heaviest and greatest.

For now, the king needs to focus on his health.

I will need you to look after the state affairs.

Yes, Your Highness,

we will do all we can.

Your Excellency.

Your Highness, the reason we asked to meet you today

is to discuss His Majesty's successor.

Successor?

Well, it hasn't been long since the crown prince passed away,

but we can't not think about a successor.

Your Highness, after what happened this time,

just in case something goes wrong with His Majesty, without a successor

we were so worried.

No need to worry about that.

The king just needs to work on that.

Your Highness, of course,

it would be best if he could produce a crown prince personally.

But just in case, how about we set up a backup plan?

A backup plan?

How about if you meet the other princes

and see if one of them might be qualified for the throne?

State Councilor, watch what you say!

The king is still so young, how dare you say that?

Your Highness,

I'm sorry to say this,

but we can't just wait around and our hands up in the air.

Shut up!

The king will recover and produce an heir.

But Your Highness, this can't be postponed anymore.

Yes, Your Highness.

Please understand our desire to protect our state as ruled by the royal family, Your Highness.

You all shut up.

Get out if you want to speak such nonsense.

Your Excellency, the rights to the successor

must be grabbed by our Soyoon faction first.

Let's go.

Did you find out?

Yes, the Soyoon faction has already started discussing the successor issue.

They have already approached a few princes.

We need to come up with a plan too, Sir.

No, the king is still so young.

Isn't it an act of disloyalty to discuss successors?

But they are already making their move.

What if they set the next successor with their political motivation?

We will have to sit and watch them for a long time again.

Yes, sir.

We can't let them have this chance.

Yes, sir.

Ok Nyeo.

Have a seat.

How did it go in Songdo?

I finished buying the ginseng without issue.

I bought 5,000 at 30 nyang per root.

Yes, good job.

Jung Nan Jung and Min Dong Joo totally believe

that the Ming tradesmen will engage in ginseng trade.

We put out the word with Dong Chang that the ginseng is sold out.

They will try to buy our ginseng soon.

Sir, you must get three times the price you paid for the ginseng.

Three times?

Yes, it's three times.

Can you do it?

Well, I'll try.

Sir. Not, "I'll try." What kind of an answer is that?

We are all putting our lives on the line to do this work. You know that.

He's making me anxious.

Ok Nyeo! Is he going to be okay?

Are you sure you will be okay?

Of course. I can do it. Just trust me, Ok Nyeo.

Sir, they will invite you to Sosoroo for sure.

I will tell him to go drink with you, so don't worry.

Okay. Sure, tell him.

I feel uneasy.

You wanted to see me, Chief?

Yes, have a seat.

Yes.

I'd like to propose a deal to you.

Once the work is done successfully,

you will end up with double the profit from what you lent us.

What kind of a deal?

Ming nation is coming for a ginseng trade. Are you aware?

Yes, we heard from the merchant heads who frequent Ming.

So our company plans to monopolize that sale.

But what are you asking from me?

Whatever money you can produce from your company,

put it all in this deal.

What?

This is a certain deal for a big profit.

I am only telling you this.

We don't have that kind of money.

Yes,

you know well we are in financial distress after giving all our money to Madame.

Sell whatever products you have to get involved in this deal.

It's a rare chance.

I am grateful of your offer, but we'll sit this one out.

We really can't make it work. Sorry.

You are so pathetic. You'll end up regretting it and it won't be my business.

Chief.

Did you find out who bought out the ginseng?

Yes, it's someone called Jang Seong Poon.

I must meet him at once so send a word to him.

Yes.

Sir. You can't be nervous already.

Wake up.

Yes, sir, you'll ruin the deal at this rate.

Hey, it's not something I can control.

Are you Chief Jang Seong Poon? I'm Chief Min Dong Joo.

Have a seat.

Yes.

- Have a drink. - Sure.

What's wrong? Is something on my face?

No, this is our first meeting,

but you look strangely familiar.

I'll allow the lawyer

to be involved in this trial.

Chief, are you drunk already?

Oh. Anyway, I heard you wanted to deal ginseng.

Pour me a drink.

Yes.

Yes, I'd like to buy the ginseng you have in your storage.

As you know, our company has Madame Jung Nan Jung behind us.

We will pay you very well so deal with us.

How much are you offering per root?

Well, I was thinking...

Your Majesty isn't recovered.

Your heart disease cannot be treated

through current medical advances.

If Your Majesty has another attack and loses consciousness,

we cannot guarantee anything.

You wanted to see me, Your Majesty.

I heard Yoon Tae Won quit the market control office. Is that right?

Yes, now he's started a law practice with Ok Nyeo.

You go out and send a message to Yoon Tae Won.

Tell him I have something to discuss with him.

Yes, Your Majesty.

♪ Blue River

Hey, who are you guys?

Someone's looking for you, sir. Come with us.

Looking for me? Who is?

That's something you'll know when you get there.

Hey, who do you think I am to treat me so rudely?

Oh, who are you?

Sit.

Sit!

Alright, sure I'll sit. There, I sat.

I called you under Madame Jung Nan Jung's orders.

Why would Madame Jung Nan Jung?

No need to be scared.

Do you know anything about the woman who died in front of the capital prison

in the Year of Gyeongja (1540)?

Well, by Year of Gyeongja, you mean...

I wasn't here then.

Then, who would know something about that year?

Well, sure. Ji Chun Deok, the clerk at the prison.

He would know about that.

Really?

Hey, Chun Deuk. Talk to me for a second.

Sure, sir. What is it?

You have been at the prison the longest, right?

Well, I've been doing this clerk work for

25 years already.

Then, were you here the Year of Gyeongja?

Year of Gyeongja? Well sure, I was. Why?

Let's go have a drink together.

I don't drink during the day.

I'll buy.

Really? You'll buy?

Of course, I'm buying.

Wow, I get free drink from you?

I get a drink from you? We're drinking till the end today.

Hey, how many times do we need to repeat this?

I just can't believe it no matter how many times I hear it.

Wow, you're here. Long time, you haven't been here.

Is the room empty?

Yes, go ahead.

Right. Clerk Ji, did you set a wedding date?

What wedding. We'll just put on a feast.

Anyway, since you'll take on Yoo Geum,

I feel so at ease.

Not like she's some merchandize. What do you mean take on?

Nothing. Well, go on in please.

I'll put on a grand table, in part as your wedding congratulations.

No, no need. He's buying today so you buy next time. We'll going till the end.

- Let me buy. - Never mind. Just go in.

- Go in. - But I was going to treat.

Just a little.

Here you go.

Can a new groom be so weak with alcohol?

I'm drunk.

Just drink up.

I'm curious about something.

Okay, tell me.

Alright. Someone said this to me.

In the Year of Gyeongja someone died in front of the prison.

Is that true?

Year of Gyeongja? I don't know.

Think about it. I think they said a woman died after getting stabbed.

A woman? Oh, right. It did happen.

Oh yeah? You know more about it?

Of course. I'm the one who personally took that woman

who was about to die from the knife wound to the prison.

Wow. You did?

Yes, I personally delivered the woman's baby too.

What? That woman was pregnant?

Yes, I got a female prisoner to help deliver the baby.

But that baby is none other than our Ok Nyeo!

Ok Nyeo? What? It's really Ok Nyeo?

That's why she grew up in the prison, right?

You still didn't know that? Why didn't I tell you before?

Your Majesty, Yoon Tae Won's locked up in Jeonokseo.

Why suddenly? Did he commit a crime?

Well, it was when he took on a trial as a litigator

that it happened.

What? Go to the Police Bureau right away

and tell them to release Yoon Tae Won and bring him here.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Sir.

Ok Nyeo.

What's happened? Isn't the trial tomorrow?

I don't know what's going on either.

Sir. Sir, let's go.

Go where?

Captain of the Royal Guard, Captain Han Jae Seo said to bring you to him.

He said you must meet the king.

Did you find out?

Yes, Madame.

Did the child Ga Bi was pregnant with get delivered?

Yes.

Where is that child and what is that child doing?

Madame, do you know who the child Ga Bi gave birth to is?

Who?

That child is none other than

Ok Nyeo.

What?

Your Majesty, you wanted to see me.

Have a seat.

You are working tirelessly in the prison, I heard.

I will make sure that chief of the police

who mistreated you gets his punishment.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but before that,

the child called Eun Nom, who I am representing, will soon be on trial.

Please rescue that child from an unfair accusation.

That child will end up being punished too severely for what he actually committed.

Alright. I'll look into it.

Your Majesty's kindness is immeasurable.

The reason I called you here today

is to hold you to something.

Yes, Your Majesty, please give me your order.

What I will say now, you must never say to anyone.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The royal physician told me my illness is severe

and I may leave the world at any given time without warning.

Your Majesty, why do you speak so extremely?

So I have something to tell you.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Right now, Excellency Yoon Won Hyung and Jung Nan Jung realize I cherish Ok Nyeo

and I'm weary of them.

So they won't harm Ok Nyeo immediately.

But if I lose unconsciouness and collapse again,

it won't be just my life, but Ok Nyeo's life

can't be vouched for either.

So I have a request from you.

No matter what happens, protect Ok Nyeo.

Your Majesty.

Ok Nyeo.
