Episode 29
Your Majesty!
Is it really you?
Your Majesty!
Is it really you?
Am I really looking at you right now?
Your Majesty...
It is you!
Dong Yi! It is you!
What happened? Where's the girl?
- We lost her. - What?
She must have left the palace.
We searched everywhere for her, but she was nowhere to be found.
What did you just say?
She left the palace? Is that your idea of an excuse?
You lost her? We had her and you lost her?
- You idiot! - How dare you?
Let go of me! Idiot!
This man is my subordinate. How dare you hit him?
- Are you deaf? I said let go! - Silence!
You're the one who didn't handle her properly the first time!
I'm saying that all of this is your fault!
- What? His Majesty isn't in the palace? - Yes, Your Majesty.
He left the palace incognito two hours ago and still hasn't returned.
- Where could he have gone to at this hour? - We don't know.
He said he was going out for some fresh air,
but now it's late and the Grand Palace is chaos as well.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, the Police Superintendent is here.
Brother, where is Dong Yi?
Did you lose her?
- Please don't be too worried. I will... - Brother!
His Majesty has left the palace. No one knows where he is!
What do you mean?
What if His Majesty has seen her...! What if...!
No, that is not possible.
Even we haven't been able to find her. How could he have seen her?
Royal Residence outside the palace
- Go and report this to Chief Suh. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
- Did you carry out my command? - Yes, Your Majesty.
I sent Eunuch Han to summon a physician secretly.
I am sure they will be here soon.
Tell them to check Dong Yi's health in detail.
She has lost a lot of weight.
Tell him to check if she is unwell in any way.
If needed, he has my permission to treat her.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Where is Dong Yi right now?
She is in the garden.
Do you know how long I've been looking for you?
I was so afraid I would never see you again that my lungs have collapsed and my heart has melted!
Where have you been?
Why didn't you come to me when you're alive like this?
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
I tried to go to you, but there was no way I could reach you.
No, don't ask for forgiveness.
The one who should be asking for forgiveness is me, not you.
I'm the reason why you're suffering like this.
- Your Majesty... - Dong Yi...
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty! When did you arrive here?
So it wasn't a dream.
You're really standing here with me.
I still can't believe it.
I can't believe that you found me after hearing the sound of my Haegeum.
It was around this time a while ago.
What is it, Your Majesty?
Wait.
Wait a moment.
After I heard the sound of that Haegeum,
I couldn't forget that profound and sorrowful melody.
I can't believe you were the source of that melody.
You were with me for so long and yet I didn't know.
Come to think of it, there are so many things I didn't know.
I didn't know that without you, time would drag on so slowly.
I didn't know that the prospect of not seeing someone again would be such a fearsome one.
Your Majesty...!
Chief Suh told me everything after you disappeared.
I understood everything then.
You tried to tell me the truth so many times.
But it was I who prevented you from doing so.
I don't know how I will ever atone for that.
Please don't think that, Your Majesty!
I couldn't tell you the truth because I was afraid of the pain I would cause you.
And please don't talk about atonement!
You searched for me.
I was so afraid that I would never be able to return to the palace,
or see you again.
But now you've found me.
Finally, I can see you smile.
I think I finally understand why people say they can now die with no regrets.
Your Majesty...!
- Chun Soo! - You're here!
I received your message. Do you really know where Dong Yi is?
Yes, go inside. Chief Suh is waiting for you.
Hurry inside!
- Sir! - Welcome. We've been looking for you.
We found Dong Yi.
She is with His Majesty at his City Residence!
What?
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty.
So you're here.
We received word that Dong Yi is here.
Yes, she's here.
She's safe.
Don't just stand there. Go to the back garden.
Dong Yi...!
Chun Soo!
Are you hurt?
No wounds or injuries?
I'm all right.
I'm fine now.
I'm so sorry.
I told you to hurry back, but I was the one who was late.
No, it's all right.
You're back.
Just seeing you again...
Shouldn't you go and see Dong Yi too?
It is enough to know that she is safe.
I thought it best to stay away to give the two of them time to be together.
I feel more secure because of Officer Cha.
I feel like I can depend on him to ensure Dong Yi's safety and well-being.
the palace will now be awash with chaos yet again.
That means that Dong Yi may be in even more danger in the capital.
Even more danger, Your Majesty?
This is the evidence of the Royal Treasury's embezzlement that Dong Yi found.
It contains the records of a plot of land owned by the royal family,
that was given to the medical officer who confessed and was beheaded as punishment.
You are aware that the stewards senior enough to accomplish this belong to the South Faction.
Yes, this is key evidence that links the Queen and the South Faction to the incident.
Lady Cho, are you outside?
Has His Majesty returned yet?
No, there is no news yet.
- Make preparations? - Your Majesty?
I will go the Grand Palace myself and ask his stewards where he has gone.
Don't do that, Your Majesty. You haven't recovered fully yet.
Didn't you hear me?
I said I want to go this instant!
Go and make preparations!
No, don't get up. Sit down.
Good. The Royal Physician will be here shortly.
He will observe you and treat you, so you must do as you're told.
Your Majesty, did you say the Royal Physician?
That isn't appropriate! Please send him back.
You're going to disobey me again?
Can't you just submit to me just once?
Your Majesty, that's not what I meant.
I'm not sick and... how could I dare to presume...?
Who am I to be treated by the Royal Physician?
Who are you? Don't you know?
What?
To me, you are...!
I mean... To me, you are...
You are like my own body.
So it's only right that the Royal Physician treats you.
Don't make me endure not having you around me again.
That is if you care about me at all.
Your Majesty...!
Oh, you're here, Officer Cha.
Guard her well until everything is over.
Yes, Your Majesty, I shall do so.
- Your Majesty! - Is there no word from His Majesty yet?
Yes, Your Majesty. We have sent men to...
Is that your excuse?
How can you call yourselves His Majesty's stewards when you don't even know where he is?
Please forgive us, Your Majesty.
Go and summon the Royal Guard to find out if His Majesty is safe!
There is no need for that.
Your Majesty!
What brings you here at this hour?
I was worried when I heard you hadn't returned to the palace.
You've come this way for nothing.
It is late. Retire to your bedchambers.
Your Majesty!
- I must speak to you... - Another time.
We'll speak another time, My Queen.
It's better that way.
Your Majesty...!
His Majesty has never looked at me like that before.
Your Majesty, please don't be too concerned.
I'm sure it was because he was tired.
No. There have been many troubles so far.
But he has never been this cold to me before.
Something must have happened.
Something must have happened when he left the palace.
Chun Soo, I'll do it.
Just let me do it. Do you know how pale you are?
When you let go of your tension, that's when you get sick.
You need to be more cautious now.
Got it?
Yes, I will.
I won't cause you to worry again.
- Dong Yi...? - What?
Nothing. Get some rest. I'll leave now.
Who are you? Don't you know?
Don't make me endure not having you around me again.
That is if you care about me at all.
Your Majesty...
Don't make me endure not having you around me again.
That is if you care about me at all.
His Majesty... and Dong Yi...?
- Chief Eunuch, are you outside? - Yes, Your Majesty!
- Summon the Chief Secretary immediately. - Yes, Your Majesty!
Why are you in such a hurry?
- Forgive me, Madam Chief! - You... you...!
Is something going on? What's with her?
My Lady!
Did you find out? What's going on at the Tribunal?
The Tribunal's not important right now.
Not important?
How can you say that when Lady Jung and Jung-Im are there?
That's why I'm saying it's not important!
What are you talking about?
There's a way! There's a way to save Lady Jung and Jung-Im!
A way to save them? What are you saying?
Chief Suh has returned, My Lady.
- What? He's returned? - And not just that...
What? Are you sure?
What did you say? Suh Yong-Gi's been Chief of the Royal Guard?
His Majesty made a special appointment this morning.
So now he's bringing out Suh Yong-Gi again after hiding him away all this time?
Why?
What if His Majesty has seen her? What if...?
It can't be...!
Could he have seen Dong Yi...?
The Tribunal
- What is the meaning of this? - Stand back!
What's going on?
My Lord?
Why are the Royal Guards going through the Tribunal?
It's me, My Lord.
You...!
His Majesty has commanded a re-investigation of those arrested for suspicion of poisoning the Queen.
And there is something else he wanted me to investigate.
It was always you in charge of these investigations,
but look at how the tables have turned.
Maybe the world is about to change, My Lord.
What is the meaning of this!
This is the Queen's Palace! How dare the Royal Guard investigate us!
We are re-investigating this case to ensure that it is solved properly, My Lady.
What?
This case involved the poisoning of the Queen.
Perhaps the culprit may be among you?
Why do my police instincts tell me something is fishy here?
Watch your tongue!
Go ahead with the investigation!
Your Majesty, what do we do?
What if they find out that we were behind this...?
Silence!
Swallow your words.
Your Majesty, the Royal Guard is up to something.
I heard that they even went to the Laundry Quarters,
and confiscated all clothing sent from here.
The Laundry Quarter?
- Why would they do that? - I'm not sure, Your Majesty.
- Mung beans? - Yes.
Yes, I saw traces of mung bean juice on the clothes from the Queen's Palace.
It's not guaranteed,
but mung bean juice has properties that weaken the effects of poison.
That could mean that this poisoning incident
could have been self-inflicted in order to frame the deposed Queen.
She may have taken mung bean juice prior to taking the poison to lessen its effect.
All right. I'll tell them to watch for that.
Yes Sir.
You don't look well.
I'm all right. Please don't be concerned.
I want to apologize for making you carry such a heavy burden by yourself.
Don't worry about anything anymore. Just leave everything to us and His Majesty.
Sir...
He startled me!
- What? - What if they arrest us too?
Stop talking so much! If you're so scared, then go home!
No, I came all the way here. I won't turn my back on you.
Then stop talking and follow me! Hurry!
I'll walk!
My Lady!
Aren't you Madam Investigator Bong?
Is that true?
His Majesty ordered a re-investigation?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
They think that the new queen poisoned herself at the ceremony in order to frame you.
I heard that this is the result of their determination to find out if that is true.
How did this all happen? There was no mention of this even yesterday.
It was Dong Yi, Your Majesty.
- What? - Dong Yi has returned to the capital!
Dong Yi has returned? Is that really true?
She was alive?
Yes, Your Majesty!
Go and prepare the tonics.
Is something wrong?
Lady Chun's condition isn't very good. I was just ordering a tonic for her.
What? How bad is it?
Dong Yi! Dong Yi!
- Dong Yi! - Chun Soo...
Dong Yi!
- When did you start feeling sick? - Chun Soo...
Don't tell His Majesty...
He'll be worried. Don't tell...
- Don't... - Dong Yi!
Is anyone out there? Physician! Physician!
Physician!
So please endure a little while longer until everything is settled.
Please don't worry about us. The priority is to reveal the truth.
Now that His Majesty has seen Dong Yi's evidence,
I'm sure that will happen, My Lady!
I don't think it will be that easy.
The government is controlled by the South Faction.
There is no one left who can lend their strength to His Majesty.
I should be the one to gather the dispersed members of the West Faction.
But I am imprisoned here!
This is driving me crazy!
It certainly boils my blood!
- You've come! - How can this happen?
- I know! - Please go on inside.
- So everyone's here. - Of course they are!
- His Majesty's trying to shake up government! - Yes, let's go inside too.
It's not going to be just about this incident.
If His Majesty has put Suh Yong-Gi forward,
that means he intends to bring up the previous incident as well!
- Yes, perhaps you're right. - Uncle!
And it will no doubt be a terrible battle with all of our lives at stake.
- Have all the ministers arrived? - Yes, your Excellency!
Suh Yong-Gi was dismissed because he tried to conspire against the Queen!
How could such a man return to government, let alone be appointed as Chief of the Royal Guard?
How could such a thing happen?
And not only that, he's been trying to re-investigate the deposed queen's case as well!
That is why we must not stand for it!
Who does this nation belong to?
Joseon does not belong to the King, but to the scholars and the noble families!
But now His Majesty has heeded nonsense and is trying to stand against the South Faction!
We must not let this happen!
Yes, we must stop this from happening!
We must gather our strength and show our might!
Let's show them!
We must not allow this to happen!
- Your Majesty. - Yes, did you find out what I ordered?
Yes, Your Majesty.
The land in question was indeed in the possession of the medical officer's family.
Is everything confirmed?
The Royal Guard has completed their investigation.
But will this be sufficient to re-open the case?
The government is controlled by the South Faction.
They will not stand by and allow this case to be brought up again.
Yes, of course they won't.
They will use the power they have in government to stand against me.
But I will use that very power against them.
That power? What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?
- Your Majesty, it is Eunuch Han! - Enter.
Your Majesty, I have bad news. I just received some news.
What is it?
Lady Chun... She's in critical condition, Your Majesty!
What?
Go and bring the Cassia Tonic. Hurry!
How is she, My Lord? Is there any improvement?
She is so weak. I'm not sure if we can even use medicine.
Dong Yi...
What happened? When did her condition get so bad?
- It's been four hours. - What?
Why was I informed only now?
Forgive me, Your Majesty, but she didn't want you to worry.
Dong Yi...
Dong Yi...!
How is she? Can you treat her?
The patient is too weak. We cannot use strong medicine.
We have to restore her energy, but we can't obtain those herbs easily.
You can't obtain those herbs? Why?
There is nothing better than red ginseng to restore energy.
But they are so much in demand that all the red ginseng has been sent to Qing and there is none left here.
- Wait! Did you say red ginseng? - Yes, Your Majesty.
Isn't red ginseng included in one of my tonics?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Then use the red ginseng for her instead.
What?
But that is for your heart...
Royal Physician, I am commanding you to save her.
Do you understand me? Bring the red ginseng here and save her!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Please open your eyes, Dong Yi.
Didn't I ask you not to make me endure being without you again?
I will not let your efforts be wasted.
So please wake up and see it happening.
So you mean they never found that palace maid?
That's what I said! I gave them what they were looking for,
But they lost her!
That's because Jang Hee-Jae is worthless!
Yes, all he did was raise his voice, but he's no better than us!
Father, do you think maybe Hwang and Young-Dal might know something?
Those two? Shall we go and find out?
Yes!
- Are there still suspicious looking men about? - Yes!
Those men have been following us.
I think they're watching us.
- Here you go. - Thank you. See you again!
What? You were wrong!
That's strange. But they look so suspicious!
Fool, I think you're the most suspicious looking fellow here!
You're paranoid!
- You're blocking me? - Don't hit me when I'm eating!
Do we have to live like this forever?
My neck is going to be bent permanently!
We have to be careful until the day Dong Yi returns to the palace safely!
I miss Dong Yi so much.
I know she's safe, but we haven't seen her!
We have to endure. If we endure, the day will come!
It will come even if we die!
- Don't I sound poetic? - I don't know.
Wretched boy!
Your Majesty.
I heard about Dong Yi. How is she?
- She's still in critical condition. - What?
She brought suffering upon herself to bring us this evidence.
That is why I will reveal the truth no matter what it takes.
How are the preparations going?
Everything is ready.
The only thing remaining is for their confession, Your Majesty.
Welcome!
I am the Chief Steward of the Royal Treasury!
Are you?
The Office of the Inspector-General has sent us to inspect the new facilities for the Treasury.
We have prepared all the documents you need.
Please come this way.
Chief Steward! You need to come with me.
What is it?
Some account books have been found while digging the foundation.
- What? - Let's go and have a look.
What are those books?
I don't know, but they look like our account ledgers.
- Take everything here out of there. - Yes, sir!
- Mother! - Hee-Jae, what took you so long?
What is it?
Someone from the palace is here to see you.
What did you say?
Account ledgers from the Royal Treasury were found?
I thought you said all the records were burned in the fire!
Seeing how they were buried, it appears someone was trying to hide them.
Hide them? Who...?
The night we started the fire, didn't the palace maid come to the Treasury?
Is it possible that she could have found the evidence before we set the fire?
That is why I am here to see you.
You mean those account ledgers may hold evidence?
She is cunning and intelligent. She is capable of doing such a thing!
Forgive me for this, Your Majesty. I will make sure that evidence is never found.
But how?
The Inspector-Generals already find it suspicious.
You said they were going to take it away tomorrow!
That is why we must retrieve it before tomorrow.
It feels like everything is falling into a dark pit.
Everything is going wrong one by one.
Your Majesty...
Did you find anything interesting from the Grand Palace?
Is there really nothing strange or different about His Majesty?
What do you think? Can you do it?
Say something! Can you do it?
- Answer me, Chief Steward! - Yes, I'll do it.
You will have to stake your life on it. Do you hear me?
All of our lives depend on you.
You can trust me, My Lord. I have loyal men working under me.
I will find that evidence no matter what it takes.
- My Lady! - What is it?
I found something strange while watching the Grand Palace.
- Something strange? - His Majesty's tonics.
What?
His Majesty has not been drinking his tonics for two days?
Yes, Your Majesty.
He has never missed taking his tonics before.
The herbs were prescribed and dispensed, but the tonics never reached the Grand Palace.
How can that be? Then where did the herbs go?
Royal Treasury Library
Have a seat.
- You may leave us. - Your Majesty!
I said leave us!
If you don't tell me the truth, you will not survive the night.
Your Majesty!
Why wasn't the tonic served to His Majesty?
What happened to the dispensed herbs?
Your Majesty! Please have mercy on me!
I will ask you for the last time.
If you don't tell me the truth, I will not let you live.
Speak.
Where are His Majesty's herbs being used?
- Your Majesty! - Speak!
It's being used at His Majesty's city residence!
What?
His Majesty sent the herbs to his city residence.
He sent the herbs to his city residence?
For whom...?
Could it be...?
- Open the doors! Hurry! - Yes, sir!
Find the account ledgers from yesterday! They are books covered in a brown cloth!
Yes, sir!
Why is there still no news from him?
Prepare a few men. I have to go there myself!
Yes, My Lord!
Found it!
This is it. That girl must have hidden them!
Clean up things here and then report that the library was broken into!
- I'll come back after I take care of this. - Yes, sir!
You can take care of it, but it'll be pointless, Chief Steward.
Because it's just a fake.
- What? - Chief Steward of the Royal Treasury!
You... you're...!
Don't just stand there! Attack him!
You should give up now, Chief Steward.
The evidence you're looking for is already in the hands of His Majesty.
What is the meaning of this!
Pardon the intrusion but you're coming with us, My Lord!
You... you're...!
What's going on? How are you here?
Did you forget what I told you before?
I told you that I would find my sister alive and well and then come for you.
What...?
It's Dong Yi.
His Majesty knows everything.
Your Majesty...!
Dong Yi is the one in His Majesty's city residence right now.
How is she? Has she regained consciousness?
Please forgive me, Your Majesty, but there is no improvement.
Dong Yi...
Dong Yi!
Your Majesty...
