Episode 6.

Monk!

Where on earth have you been?

I looked for you for quite a while.

Why?

Where are we going?

Shut up and just come along.
Can't you take a hint?

It's a relief...

to see that you're fine.

Then...

Teacher!

It's always been on my mind...

After suffering so much on my account

how you are doing...

I hope...

we never run into each other again.

Come quickly!

I hope we never run
into each other again.

Where have you been?

They say a leaking gourd will leak

no matter where. That's exactly how you are!

A royal clan member who came to pray
for quick recovery of His Majesty

snoops around the marketplace
with young monks in tow!

Aren't you afraid other people might talk?

Do you resent even this little scolding?

How dare you show tears
after such misbehavior?

When you're all grown up...

Won't you stop it now!

Your Highness,

This is about the personnel moves within the
Ministries of Military Affairs and Justice.

If you allow it,

the Royal Secretary will carry it out.

It has already been discussed
between His Majesty and me.

Don't worry about anything and
just say yes, Your Highness.

When was that?

On what day, what time, did Father allow it?

Your Highness Princess...

If you are so suspicious of your uncle,

why don't you summon King's Eunuch
Jeong Gyu and question him?

Princess, you've been on an edge lately.

Everyone is having a hard time on
account of His Majesty's illness.

Please exercise more
patience and self-restraint!

Your Highness...

Why don't you go ahead with it, Uncle.

I feel very secure that you are in
the Royal Secretariat, Bum Ong.

Since you gave me this
job, I am trying hard.

But I am still very unskilled.

You are too humble.

I am afraid that

the princess's uncontrolled
words and actions

might negatively influence the Crown Prince.

What do you mean chulhap*?

Does chulhpa make sense
in the midst of all this?

When Father is lying in his sick bed,

are you saying you will throw me,
his daughter, out the palace?

What do you mean throw you out?

Your chulhap that has been postponed
due to His Majesty's illness

cannot be delayed any longer.

I shall not set a foot

outside this room!

Are you saying you will make a bad example

of breaking the time honored,
solemn laws and traditions?

If the princess, who must be a model for all
the subjects, disregards laws and traditions,

which woman outside the palace
will try to observe them?

Even if you live in a house outside
the palace, you can visit often

and greet His Majesty.

Why does it have to be at this time?

He means to send the princess packing, the only
one who's been keeping the Crown Prince's side.

He put Chief Scholar Shin Soo
Joo of the Hall of Worthies

in the position of the Royal
Secretary at the Royal Secretariat.

He is even trying to push
the Minister of Justice

and me (Min. Of Military Affairs)
out to insignificant posts.

At this rate, I am afraid that he
might feign the king's order and

harm you in the near
future, Your Excellency.

Before it becomes too late,

you must stop Sooyang.

Do you plan to sit still and watch

him running amok like that?

If there really isn't any other way,

how about moving the military...

That is

exactly what they want.

It's not time yet.

Don't do anything hasty.

Uncle!

Ah Kang!

Why are you coming only now?

Didn't you miss me?

Have you been well, sister-in-law?

Yes, brother-in-law.

It's a relief that you look well.

I am sorry for having worried you.

Where are Father and Hyung?

How come you are here?

Your hyung must have
called you on my account.

He did a needless thing.

I've returned to keep your side, Father.

Seeing that your lip service
is music to my ears,

I guess I am getting old.

Father.

Your intention to help me is commendable.

However, what can you do when all
you've ever done is teaching?

If you wait for the right moment,
then you'll find your calling.

Until then, watch your actions.

Yes.

I must be such a bad person.

Why would you be...?

Since he almost lost his life because of me,

it is only right he should be angry with me.

Still, why do I feel so sad?

Who are you talking about?

I thought there would be so much to say...

You can just say it.

It was first time seeing...

him so cold.

When did you come back?

Greetings can wait.

What's the matter?

You hold the sword whenever
something's bothering your head.

Uh huh, you simply need to greet your hyung
by asking whether I've returned safely.

Why do you prattle so much?

Seeing that you're wagging your tongue
freely, I guess you are fine now.

I heard the news about Jong.

He became the princess's
husband as he wished.

Today, they are leaving the palace.

That he's going to live in
a stately mansion now...

He boasted so much.

What about you?

Don't you have any marriage talk going on?

Marriage?

Dude!

You must have one.

Whose daughter is she?

What nonsense.

Why don't we visit Jong together later?

It's the day the princess
is leaving the palace.

Before she arrives there,
wait for her at her house.

So that the whole world knows about
your father's solicitude and care.

Her Highness might not welcome me.

You're the only royal clan member
that the princess is close with.

Why wouldn't she welcome you?

Listen to your mother

and be a good companion to her
whenever you have the time.

Yes, Mother.

Please don't worry, Father.

I will lead a happy married life.

We will be a loving couple and

give you grandchildren
soon too, Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

Good-bye, sister.

Your Highness, please visit us often.

I will.

Sister.

Are you leaving already?

Please become a strong monarch.

Your Highness Crown Prince.

Why are you here?

I am here because I heard
that today's your chulhap.

Have you decided to get on my nerves,

your father inside the palace
and you outside the palace?

Never again set your foot in my house.

Why is she acting so cold?

You go back first.

Miss.

Your Highness

I'll come in for a minute.

Didn't I tell you I loathe your sight!
Leave my prsence now!

How dare you...!

Why don't you rather slap me?

What?

If you will feel better, even if that's
hundreds or thoursands of slaps,

I will gladly turn my cheeks.

Because you got slapped once,

are you trying to give me a hard time?

Trusting your father's power and might,

even you dare to taunt me?

I know that you no longer welcome me.

But I am worried about you being in
this unfamilar place all by yourself

and feeling scared and lonely.

I hesitated tens and hundreds
of times before coming here.

I heard that these are the things mothers get
ready for their daughters getting married.

Had the queen been alive,

she would have lovingly
taken care of all this.

You might call me presumptuous.

But despite my poor skills, I
have tried my hands at it.

No matter how much you tell
me you hate the sight of me,

I will have to come again because I
am worried about you, Your Highness.

Who's that girl?

Grand Prince Sooyang's eldest
daughter, Miss Se Ryung.

Grand Prince Sooyang?

Hey, you guys!

You are here!

Hurry and come in!

Don't decline! Just come in!

Shouldn't we greet the princess first?

Of course you should.

Of course.

I'll come in for a moment.

I want to be alone.

My friends are here.

I'm sorry I invited them
before asking you first.

Are you happy to be married?

I'm dying of happiness.

But what use is being happy all by myself?

What are you talking about?

His Majesty is gravely ill and

the princess keeps denying me.

I'm no different from virgin
bachelors or widowers.

Virgin bachelors or widowers?

No matter which way I consider it...

I think she still keeps in her heart

the affections she shared with you
outside the palace, Seung Yoo.

Jong!

After the wedding, I heard from Myun.

That the woman you met outside the palace

was not the princess, but some other.

It's a punishment for having kept
such an enormous secret from me.

Don't blame me.

Hey, punk!

I've found out who that woman is.

What?

What are you talking about?

You know, the woman who came looking
for you at the Hansung Bureau.

Grand Prince Sooyang's eldest daughter.

Isn't that right?

Stop talking.

Shush and just drink.

When she came to visit the princess
earlier today, I recognized her.

Lately, this dude's eyes are like... Rawrr!

I want to eat you up, toward that woman.

Why, on earth, are you such a blabbermouth?!

Why did you get mad?

I was just joking.

If you're acting this way
because of me, it's okay.

There is no way to stop your
heart going out to a woman.

Simply,

there is a talk of marriage
between her family and mine.

Marriage?

How can we allow our
fathers to tear us apart?

No matter whose daughters
you guys end up marrying,

I will offer you my sincere congratulations.

What brings you here, Professor Kim?

Your husband

is my old dear friend.

Old dear friend?

It is such a strange irony of fate.

My sincere apologies for

making you worry on my account.

What use is that now?

However, even if our marriage
could not take place,

your loyalty toward the Crown
Prince must not change.

I will bear that in mind.

Please leave now.

Jong will become a great husband.

By any chance,

did you come wondering
maybe that girl is here?

Even if you run into her accidentally,

pass her by like a stranger.

That is the only way to prevent

a tragedy between you and her.

It is all...

in the past.

You are so easy-going.

Do you still want to go there
after such a cold treatment?

Stop it already, I'm not going
to ask you to come along.

I'm so offended, I don't want to go either.

I will be back.

Princess, are you still in bed?

Taking care of your husband's hangover

will also be one of the wife's...

The princess is gone!

What are you talking about?

The princess is gone?

She is nowhere inside the house.

And her lady-in-waiting and
litter are gone as well.

She must have gone to the palace.

Without a word?

You accompany Jong to the palace.
I will look around.

What if...

she's not in the palace?

If I say the princess has disappeared the
morning after leaving the palace without a word

the whole palace will
be thrown into a chaos!

Let's go see first.

How come you are here?

I am asking you why you are here.

To see Her Highness Princess...

I don't know what your business is.

But you can't see her right now.

Your Highness,

really without even a bodyguard,

you must go all the way there?

The royal consort has gone to the
palace to see if she is there.

So there will be news soon.

Going back to the palace not even
one day after her departure?

She will never do such a thing

to worry ailing His Majesty.

Do you, by any chance, know a place where
she might have gone to outside the palace?

Since you were the princess's close attendant in
the palace, you must know at least that much.

You were close enough to
impersonate the princess.

And you don't even know that?

Perhaps...

Did something occur to you?

That place...

is too faraway, though.

I will return the horse to you without fail.

At this rate, when will you
get there and come back?

<-----empty----->

Your Highness, what do you want to do?

Are you telling me that I have to
ride the boat with those rabble?

Yes.

Princess.

Why don't we go back now?

His Majesty will also be worried if he finds
out that you've disappeared without a word.

I will take that as yes and ask
the litter to be turned back.

Let's go.

Thank you for the ride.

From here, I'll go alone.

What is this?

Seat price.

You are as audacious as ever.

How did...?

I have to make sure that
the princess is safe.

Look here!

Haven't you, by any chance,
seen a noble lady in a litter?

A litter?

I didn't have such a passenger.

But some other boat might have carried her.

The place is so faraway, so I'm not sure
whether she really went all that way.

What if you're wasting your trip?

It won't hurt to make sure.

Hurry and get off.

The tomb of the late queen...

She is not here.

I guess she didn't come here after all.

Wasn't it the princess who

turned you out of the palace?

Still, you are looking for her desperately.

I guess you bear no grudges against her.

Her Highness did not turn me out.
The truth is...

Not anybody, nobody

must find out about this.

To Kim Seung Yoo, you are just
a nameless lady-in-waiting.

I do not know why you left the palace.

But have you somewhere to stay?

Umm...

That is...

at a temple...

Are you saying you're staying at a temple?

So, that's why you were with young monks...

It must be close to the swing set.

It's behind the marketplace.

Pretending to be the princess...

Was it fun?

You must have been greatly amused by me

who was fooled by your pranks
even outside the palace.

I never did that to fool you.

Knowing that I shouldn't feel that way...

Still, I enjoyed all the things
we did together so much, Teacher.

At least once, I wanted to
personally apologize to you.

That you suffered so much because of me...

I am truly sorry for it.

Don't be mistaken.

If it had been some other woman,

I would have done the same.

Then...

are you a man who risks his
life for any woman, Teacher?

So, that was not anything
special to you, Teacher.

Let's go back now.

Where did you go?

You don't need to know.

If you disappear without a word,

didn't you think other people
would worry about you?

Just because you became the royal
consort by a sheer stroke of luck,

don't even think about becoming

my true husband in every way.

Why don't you stop your spoilt
childish ways, princess!

Childish ways?!

For one who worries about His Majesty

and the Crown Prince day
and night, is this how

you should behave?

Princess Kyung Hye, that b****
has a shrewish side to her.

So at every turn, she proved
to be a thorn in my eye.

Now that we've kicked her out of the palace,

I feel as though the aching
tooth has fallen out!

Don't you think so?

Now the princess has

a reliable hubby.

She should concentrate on her
wifely duties from now on.

It's too early to take a sigh of relief.

We have to finish off Kim Jong Seo first.

So that there won't be
any unsavory aftermath.

A young guest has arrived.

Father!

It is Myun.

I called him here.

I hope it's not a discourtesy.

Of course not!

Come in.

Grand Prince is feeling tipsy.

Escort him to his house.

He is a rather trustworthy military officer.

He won't do a bad job of escorting you.

Thank you, in-law.

I feel like I've won another son today.

What is the princess doing?

She must have been tired.
She went to bed already.

She is okay, right?

Yes.

What is...

that?

She even went to the late queen's tomb

to look for you.

I guess she knew your heart

that wanted to go there.

She returned in the evening.

That is a relief.

For accompanying me on that long journey,

Thank you.

I merely did my duty.

Then...

I will go back.

Because I can only look from afar.

Because I cannot touch
you, I am in sorrow.

You who stand right before my eyes.

I miss you and I,
standing behind you,

Always in shadow,

Cry with a clouded face.

Please look back at me!

I cannot ask you to.

Again, tears come to my eyes.

I love only you.

I'm saying this because I think
of you as my son-in-law.

But my daughter is rather untamed.

She has to mount a horse that only men ride.

Even when her body is full of bruises,

she doesn't know how to give up.

When it comes to making one's mother worry,

she will be second to none in Joseon.

Please deeply cherish her.

Yes.

Because I have you, I couldn't
feel any more secure.

Thanks to you, I have gotten home safely.

How can an unmarried maiden

return home at this late hour?

I'm sorry.

Look here, what did I say?

I said she is untamed.

Look at him carefully, Se Ryung.

Isn't he a tall, handsome man?

In the future,

he will become your husband.

Knowing that I shouldn't
feel that way...

Still, I enjoyed all the things we
did together so much, Teacher.

Agasshi, are you up already?

My heart is troubled.

Let's go to pray.

Again?

Your Majesty,

please get better quickly and...

Sooyang Hyung,

His Majesty seems to

be missing Princess Kyung Hye

who has left the palace.

How about if I escort His Majesty

to the princess's house?

How can you say that when you know full well

that even moving around is hard for him.

I will be fine.

I don't think anything bad will happen.

What if something happens

on your way without even the
royal doctor in attendance?

Inside the palace

feels stifling.

If you really feel that way,

please have a safe trip.

Father!

Your Majesty,

I will leave you alone

to catch up with the princess.

Father,

I am doing fine.

Your Majesty,

there is another reason for

my escorting you here
despite the discourtesy.

There is one

who sincerely wants to see you.

The person who persuaded me,

who as a royal clan member balked at
getting involved in the politics,

was the Second State Councilor.

I am...

such a petty and mean king.

I didn't recognize my loyal vassal

and only blamed you.

I am sorry, Your Majesty.

Your servant Kim Jong Seo

will pay for the price of the past misdeeds.

(I. E. Seung Yoo's scandal & resignation)

after safeguarding Your
Majesty and the Crown Prince.

Lift up your face, Second State Councilor.

This lousy father

could not protect his children to the end

and will have to burden you

with the task, Second State Councilor.

I don't have the face to look at you.

How can you say that?

Your servant Kim Jong Seo

is ready to give his life for it.

The heart going out to someone...

Can't that be stopped?

Open the gate!

Open it quickly!

To go to the palace,

you must dress yourself.

Grand Prince Anpyong's message.

His Majesty's illness has...

taken a turn for the worst.

If His Majesty passes away like this,

Grand Prince Sooyang's
regency cannot be stopped!

Grand Prince Anpyong

has ordered me

to give this to you in secret.

Father!

His Majesty has sent you a myungpae*.

[Myungpae - wooden tab with
the name of the official.

[King was summoning]

So,

that was not anything
special to you, Teacher.

Is the gyoji* ready?

[Gyoji.
- King's official order of appointment to a post]

Thorough preparations have been made.

You must not miss any military movement from the Ministry of
Military Affairsto Inner Palace Guards to Royal Artillery.

Threaten them if anybody makes a hasty
movement, that willl be considered a treason.

Yes, Your Excellency!

Hyung!

Your majesty.

Your majesty.

Your majesty.

Sooyang is here!

Please open your eyes and
look at your dongsaeng.

Your majesty.

Please respect our work &
do NOT steal our subs!

Hong Wi...

I am here, father!

Father...

Father! Father! Fa...

FATHER!

Father!!!

Your Highness, you must
stay firm and strong.

I will proclaim a gyoji.

Your uncle has prepared everything.

You just have to stay by
my side, Your Highness.

Uncle?!

All royal clan members and
government officials are waiting.

His Majesty has passed away
without leaving a will.

At this,

the Crown Prince who will, as a matter
of course, step into His Majesty's shoes

has personally handed down an order.

I, Crown Prince Hong Wi, am still young

and inadequate to govern the nation.

Therefore,

to the First Royal Uncle.

Grand Prince Sooyang, I
make an earnest request...

Stop!

This is not the place for you
to come forward, dongsaeng.

Instead of a will, His Majesty

has personally given me his order.

Royal Secretary, read it out aloud.

This is the king's order that
I, the Second Royal Uncle,

have personally received from His Majesty.

Hurry and read it before all royal
clan members and government officials!

I...

appoint Kim Jong Seo.

Second State Councilor.

The State Council with Kim
Jong Seo as the leader

shall assist the Crown Prince.

That is my bequest.

As long as this Kim Jong Seo is alive,

royal clan members cannot meddle
with government any longer!

Anyone who goes against this

will have to pay for it with his life!

Kim Jong Seo.

If you want it so bad,
