UNDER THE QUEEN'S UMBRELLA

EPISODE 4

Mother was definitely coming from the direction of the burning chamber.

Let Mother know that I am here.

I apologize, but Her Majesty is not in her chamber.

I will inform her of your visit once she returns.

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

No, you cannot go…

Why is His Royal Highness here?

What is he being treated for?

Answer me.

I shall give you the answer.

Why is he in your quarters instead of at the hot spring?

I heard he left to treat his skin condition.

Officially, he did.

I plan on notifying His Majesty as soon as he gets better.

So Father does not know this either?

What is his condition? Why do you go so far as to hide it?

Hyeolheogwol .

Crown Prince Taein also suffered from this disease.

Are you saying Brother may pass away?

Yes.

As you said, Crown Prince Taein died of hyeolheogwol .

That is what everyone believes.

However, the mother of Crown Prince Taein said

that the disease was not what killed him.

That is what she would like to believe.

I felt the same way.

So I searched for the records of Naeuiwon, the Royal Clinic.

But…

the records were destroyed in a fire.

Nothing was left behind.

That is not all.

Not a single person who was involved is alive.

So I thought

the Crown Prince may be further endangered if I made a rash move.

That is why I could not tell you.

But what if his condition worsens

after missing the most ideal period of treatment?

No parent would do anything to harm their child.

I cannot explain everything to you,

but this was

the best decision I could make to protect your brother.

Then did you also start the fire…

to protect Grand Prince Gyeseong?

I am asking if that was the best decision you could make.

Yes.

It was the best I could do.

Then did I grow up alone outside of the palace when I was young

because you made that decision for my sake?

You were taken from me as soon as I gave birth to you.

I was too young back then.

I thought that was the only way

to keep you alive.

I understand.

Please tell me about that when the time is right.

For now, please focus on treating Brother.

I will.

Would you like a drink?

Brother, I decided not to take the second exam.

I pondered a while to reach this decision, so please do understand.

You do not need my understanding.

But you should obtain Mother's permission.

She expected the most out of you.

Mother is the one who suggested it first.

I wish to ask you to do your best for me too.

You are now the only child Mother can count on.

I am sorry to put the burden on you.

No one expects anything of me. It is not a burden.

By the way,

were you with Mother?

That is a secret between Mother and me,

so do not ask.

-How can I help you? -I want to find someone.

The price depends on the person.

There is a disease called hyeolheogwol .

I want to find a physician who can treat it.

You have two days.

You should go to the dispensary.

Why are you here asking…

I did, but I could not find one. That is why I came to you.

If you can pay good money, we can find you anyone but His Majesty.

But I think it will cost quite a lot for what you are requesting.

Why are you doing this?

To draw your sword for a bit of overpricing…

Is this enough?

Did you say we have two days to find him?

Your Majesty, I hear Royal Physician Cho Guk-yeong is back.

Would you like to meet him?

I should.

No, forget it.

He was also…

one of the royal physicians for Crown Prince Taein.

But he rose to the rank of dangsanggwan, a minister-level official.

Other royal physicians were either exiled or killed.

while this man climbed the ladder.

Is it not odd?

But Your Majesty,

His Royal Highness is not showing any improvements.

Consulting Royal Physician Cho for treatment

is the best you can do right now.

Yet I cannot consult him.

Your Majesty, Court Lady Oh at your service.

What is it?

Are you suggesting that the Crown Prince return to the palace?

Yes, Royal Physician Cho has returned to the palace,

so let him take charge of treating his skin disease.

The Crown Princess will give birth soon, so tell him to return quickly.

Yes, Your Majesty. I will do that.

No, Your Majesty.

He is not well enough to make an official appearance.

Once the Crown Princess gives birth, he will have no choice but to appear.

It will be a problem if he does not come to her delivery,

but if he shows up in this condition,

all will be able to see how ill His Royal Highness is.

We do not know what may happen next.

I am sure there is someone who assisted

Royal Physician Yoo Sang-uk or worked as a female physician.

It can be anyone who was involved with the Royal Clinic back then.

Hurry and find them. This is urgent.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Did you prescribe cheongeumnurotang to His Majesty?

Yes.

It was prescribed because he had yeoljeung.

I see.

SEVERE ILLNESS WITH A VERY HIGH FEVER

Why are you here?

Pardon?

I heard His Royal Highness is away from the palace due to his skin disease.

You are his physician, so why are you in the palace?

His Royal Highness wished to leave

only with his eunuch as he only had itching symptoms.

His Majesty also gave him permission.

Is that so?

But while I was gone,

I saw a record of your prescription of ginseng extract to him.

Did he…

show signs of blood deficiency and fatigue?

No, sire.

The medicine was prescribed for his headache and signs of anemia.

He has gotten better after taking the medicine.

The Crown Princess will deliver in 15 days.

You will take turns doing night duty starting today.

-Yes, Sire. -Yes, Sire.

By the way, why did you live outside of the palace until you were ten?

You were quite young back then. Do you remember that?

Of course I do. I suddenly got an older brother.

What was the reason?

I am not sure.

I do not know either.

Are you not curious?

Do not be curious and do not try to find out.

Where is Eunuch Kim?

He tried to find out something he did not need to know,

so I sent him far away.

I cannot sleep without Eunuch Kim around.

The palace is too big,

and it is too scary at night.

So why were you curious?

Your useless curiosity did this to him.

You should become used to the palace. This will be your home from now on.

In the palace,

turn a blind eye to things you see, forget things you hear,

and if there is something you wish to say, keep your mouth shut.

Good boy.

Swallow it down, be it tears or curiosity…

if you wish to protect what is precious to you.

Brother.

Are you not going to tell me?

Stop minding my story. Do not be curious either.

You lucky little brat.

Hey, get up.

Why?

I am here killing myself studying to become the cohort of the Crown Prince.

I cannot go out,

and I have nothing better to do, so I just got bored.

You have things to do.

Read out the important parts to me.

Pardon?

Start reading.

I wish to conduct the second exam through a debate

and the total score will be calculated based on their aggregate scores.

Your Majesty.

Passing the first examination already proved their excellent knowledge.

We held the first examination to pick out the princes with high scores.

It is only proper to evaluate them solely based on the second examination.

I agree that the princes already proved

their level of knowledge through the first examination.

However, if the second exam is conducted through a debate,

it will be difficult to evaluate them objectively.

Also,

the personal feelings of the evaluator may be reflected in their scores.

In order to evaluate them fairly,

it will be appropriate to add the scores from the first examination.

Your Majesty, you initially decided not to add the scores of the first exam.

It is only proper you decide

on the evaluation process and methods after a discussion with us--
