Love in the Moonlight (구르미 그린 달빛)

I'm Kim Soo Ran from the courts.

We can't allow you. Go over there.

I received a permission from the systems court lady.

There was an order that prohibits people your age group from exiting the palace.

Next.

Eunuch Hong from East pala...

You are all doing well.

Yes sir.

He's my company. Does he need further inspection?

No.

Wherever we look

she didn't leave a single trace behind.

Before she disappeared, were there anything strange?

No, Your Highness.

Minister, have you ever heard of the saying, " Babies must pay tax?"

" Babies must pay tax "...

It's a saying that has been made to receive tax from babies,

when we're supposed to receive them from men over sixteen years of age.

There's also a saying that receives tax from the dead.

There are some workers from the military government that make mistakes,

so we have received some improperly.

Why are you blaming this on the management?

Plan a way to give back the tax they unfairly paid. Immediately.

Your Highness, the state is currently very inadequate.

Rather than repaying them, we should correct evil practices by disciplining them.

However, if you discipline the workers

and reduce the taxes we receive, the state will be in a critical condition.

It's very touching how much you Ministers think about the nation.

Then since we are in a crisis, I will take a different measure.

I am going to reduce the stipend of all the Officials.

Your Highness, reducing the stipend?!

It's utterly unreasonable to cut the stipend from all Officials.

This has never happened before. Please understand.

Please understand.

Even dead people of the nation are paying taxes due to your irresponsibilities.

How can the noblemen, the root of this nation, whine about this?

Do you all truly

think that you deserve to live off of the nation's hard work?!

Eunuch Jang, you've gone so weary!

Don't even mention it.

Why wouldn't you be?

The Crown Prince is acting like an icicle of mid-winter.

An icicle?

He's very cold and sharp

so it must hurt a lot to be stabbed by him.

I don't mind myself being ill, but our Crown Prince is working day and night...

because I'm so worried about his health

I'm going to die.

But where do you think our Eunuch Hong has gone to?

Who knows... he disappeared without a sound in middle of the night like a hopping rabbit.

Hong Sam Nom... I miss you.

So mean... without even a goodbye... such a heartless person.

Eunuch Hong!

Your Highness, there has been no signs of the White

Cloud Society around the corpses of the assassins.

They're waiting until it calms.

Yes. That's possible, but there is one thing.

What is it?

Recently Minister Kim Ui Gyo has sold some stuff and got a money chest...

We've already cornered him and dismissed him from the office.

Yes...

however, where that money chest has gone is suspicious.

Where did it go?

A brother of one of the dead assassins have gone merrymaking with that money chest.

A dead assassin got paid from Minister Kim for doing a favour...

Yes.

Your Highness, a person from the Royal Investigative Office has arrived.

Let him in.

What is it?

Your Highness, while looking through the home of Jeong Man Sik, a merchant from the city,

we captured a suspicious individual.

She looks less than twenty years of age, but we are

suspicious that she's a part of the White Cloud Society.

Let's go.

White egret orchid, right?

You remember.

My old friend of mine always carried this handkerchief

and this flower was stitched on to it.

He told me that his estranged wife gave it to him.

" Even in dreams I miss you "...

Do you think Father knew the meaning of your stitching?

Me too.

Is it hard?

No.

But, how did you and dad meet?

We were friends from the same village.

He was among the group of men that liked me.

The other men brought me toys and

wild flowers they picked, but your dad was a bit different.

What did he give you?

Barley rice. Corn.

If he didn't have anything, he would give me forest plants or tree bark.

I asked him for marriage because I felt that I wouldn't starve, at the very least.

He had no ambition.

We have a field to work,

food to eat when we're hungry,

a single house to sleep in when night comes,

that was all

your father wanted.

Are you saying she'd disappeared by the time you got there?

Yes.

Why would this happen just before she was to be moved to our base...

She must have escaped as the guards' search began to get deeper.

Did you not say... she was unaware of the situation

of her family during the rebellion or about the 'white clouds?'

Ah, yes.

Back then, it seemed as if she had no idea.

Alright,

you can leave now.

What you must keep in mind is that

even if that child knows who she is,

the safest place for her is with 'White Cluouds.'

Your Highness, did you call for me?

Are you okay?

Are you worrying about me?

The woman you love and declared a war on has disappeared

so why aren't you curious about anything?

Whether she left me a letter,

or whether she told me where she was going.

Even if either of us know anything, you and I

are in a relationship where we can't share anything.

Thus, I am not asking.

Not for me.

Even if it's useless,

I want to ask if you know anything, whatever that may be.

I'm sorry that I cannot be of any help, Your Highness.

"If you don't know, you'll say you don't know and

even if you know, you'll say you don't know."

That's all I hear.

Yes, you're correct.

I'll do that.

Your Highness.

Even if we meet by coincidence, are you not even going to acknowledge me?

I didn't see you.

I'm envious of you, Your Highness.

About what?

It would be so nice if I could walk past you without seeing you.

It would be even better if I could just pass by you

indifferently, pretending that I didn't see even when I did.

Why do you have such an expression? It's hurting me.

The same goes for you. Why are you making that expression

towards me. You said that this was just a deal.

Ah, is love the only emotion felt between a man and a woman?

We might be stuck in this deal for our entire lives.

Will something terrible happen if we become close?

So what I'm saying is...

don't walk so weakly.

Don't make an expression as id you've just lost your entire world either.

That woman you love would've probably told you the same thing

if she saw your state right now.

Fine, I'll just leave now

but

I'll see you again soon, Your Highness.

The moon seen from the palace looks like that.

The moon is the same from anywhere, it's no different.

When I was young, I went here and there with a traveling circus.

I thought that each village had a different shaped moon.

The moon in the Yeongnam Village was round

and the moon in the Honam Village was a crescent-shape.

Did you move around that often?

Yes.

It's fun, isn't it?

Haven't you ever had such random thoughts?

No, I haven't.

Five year olds know about the Sun the Moon and the change of seasons.

How can you be so foolish?

Right. Right.

I'm kidding.

This is my first time saying it but

I used to be more foolish than you.

I used to think this Palace is the whole world as a child.

The highest, the deepest and the most precious pond

in Joseon is this palace I grew up in.

Looks like I'm better off than you.

Even if it's the lowest and the shabbiest in Joseon, I've only played in big ponds.

Ra On.

Whether you see it from the palace or from Banchon, the moon is still the same, right?

Even if I am Crown Prince, and you are who you are, we will be alright

wherever we are as long as our hearts feel the same.

Just like that moon.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, be strong.

Your Highness, stay strong. Your Highness.

Your Highness. You can't let go.

Your Highness. You have to stay strong.

She's one month early. How can this happen?

Your Majesty. She will be alright.

Please do not worry too much.

Her Highness has given birth already and is recovering

well. There is no need for you to attend to her.

Why did you not call me sooner?

It happened so quickly. I apologize.

The baby is here.

It's a princess, ma'am.

Your Highness.

Are you really not going to see her face?

No need.

Take her away.
