Episode 34

We're all going to be all right now, Uncle.

Now that the official recognition is here,

The Queen and the South Faction will now be on firm ground!

This was how it was all meant to be.

Now, let's go.

Welcome, Ambassador!

We have been eagerly awaiting your arrival!

Then we should have come earlier. Please forgive us for coming so late.

Yes, we were on tenterhooks for a while.

But valuable treasures are never easy to attain.

Please come with us. We have a lavish banquet prepared for you.

Your Majesty!

- Your Majesty! - Brother!

- Your Majesty! - Brother!

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

I just heard the news.

The Crown Prince's recognition has arrived!

I have just come from the Grand Palace. His Majesty acknowledged my efforts!

What did I tell you? I knew this would happen!

I was worried for nothing!

Look how everything has turned out as we wanted!

Just wait a while longer. You will soon reclaim your position.

It is not only me.

You have your greatest asset in your hands.

Now that the Crown Prince's standing is unshakeable, so is yours.

Of course!

I am now the Mother of this nation's Crown Prince...

I mean... the Mother of the future King!

You're right, Your Majesty!

- Where is the Minister? - I'll go see where he is, My Lady.

Yes, go!

You've come, Your Excellency!

Your Excellency! Did you find out about the Qing Emissary?

Your Majesty...!

It is good news.

This was something His Majesty wanted.

But this is more about the Queen, and therefore... about you.

Please think about how to give us strength again!

If this happens,

It will become more difficult for you to return to the Palace!

Yes, you're right.

I may never be able to return.

Your Majesty...!

I don't know what to tell you.

All of you have worked so hard for me.

- It is all because I am unworthy. - Your Majesty...!

How can you say that?

This is all because of our ineffectiveness!

Please forgive us, Your Majesty!

- Minister...! - But we must not give up now.

The West Faction no longer has any power,

But we are gathering our strength.

We will use all of our remaining strength to ensure that you die as the Queen!

It was our last opportunity to prove Her Majesty's innocence and reveal their guilt!

- My Lady... - I thought this would be sufficient.

I thought if Lord Shim Woon-Taek came,

We would be able to prove that they even tried to sell the nation's defense for their own benefit!

I won't... I won't give up so easily.

I won't let the truth disappear like this!

What will you do, My Lady?

What if we show His Majesty the original copy of the Registration Archive and tell him what happened?

If we do that, then he will believe Lady Chun.

But what next?

If this truth is revealed through Lady Chun again,

Then what do you think the South Faction will do?

Do you think they'll admit their guilt so easily?

My Lord...!

We should have revealed that...

Qing's recognition was not being given because of that Registration Archive.

But that recognition has arrived.

So how can we prove their guilt?

It will only bring more suffering to Lady Chun.

My Lord!

You need to come with us!

You can't do this, My Lady!

You're pouring oil into the fire and jumping into it!

Please let me go! I need to tell His Majesty the truth!

My Lady, you need to consider your own safety!

I traded my safety for the evidence from the Royal Treasury.

And now you want me to consider it again?

- My Lady...! - Then what about Her Majesty?

We have lost everything that can bring her back!

Lady Chun!

Hand over the book!

My Lord...!

What can you do by giving that to His Majesty now?

Why don't you understand that putting yourself in danger...

... will only bring more worry to His Majesty?

- My Lord... - Don't you know why you can't do this?

You're now no longer responsible only for yourself!

Many lives depend on the path you take!

You're not the only one who feels this way. We won't let this happen so easily.

So won't you trust us and let us share your burden, Lady Chun?

My Lord...!

Damn! I really don't know how this happened!

His Lordship was so certain that we would be able to get them this time!

That is what I was going to say. What happened?

Didn't you say you gave them the fake book?

So why has Qing sent their official recognition?

- What? - You're so frustrating!

I mean, you gave them the fake book, so how did this happen?

- Perhaps I made a mistake. - What?

I do that often. I can be a bit stupid sometimes.

It's so stuffy here. I'm going to go get some fresh air.

Go where?

- You're supposed to be careful... - Don't worry.

I'm not a very important person, so no one will be looking out for me.

Can't you tell?

That's true.

I wonder if the women have gotten prettier.

But first, I need new clothes. Where can I get a nice new hat?

I'm a character myself, but I raise my two hands up at you!

I don't think either of you would know anyway.

Not know what? Hey! Did you just insult us?

That man....! He's going to drive me crazy!

Should we just let him go?

Let him be.

No one's going to be worried about a man like that.

Whatever! I can't believe he used a hat to insult us!

He's going to drive me crazy!

Are you certain?

The Crown Prince's official recognition has arrived?

How many times do I have to tell you for you to believe me?

Even His Majesty summoned me to praise my efforts!

Now we can finally breathe easily!

Her Majesty has finally gotten what she wanted!

She deserves it, Mother!

Don't we need to show our appreciation in some way?

I have already made preparations.

You did?

They are important to the Crown Prince's future.

I have made lavish preparations so that they will be completely satisfied, Mother!

- Well done! Well done! - Madam!

Madam, someone is looking for the Police Superintendent.

Me? Bring them in.

- My Lord. - What is it?

The Qing Emissary has asked to see you urgently.

Indeed? Looking for me already?

Hee-Jae!

- Greetings! - Greetings!

The Emissary is waiting for you inside.

Lord Jin! It's been a long time!

I don't know how to thank you for taking care of the Crown Prince's recognition!

Thank me? Yes, I'm sure you feel that way.

You insulted me and yet I gave you what you wanted.

Your Excellency, what do you mean? Insult you...?

How dare you insult me and Great Qing with this fake book!

Lord... Lord Jin, what do you mean? Fake book...?

This *Registration Archive you gave me is fake!

*Secret document regarding border defense

Are you telling me that you didn't know it was fake?

Fake? That cannot be!

Now can you see what it is that you gave me?

Lord Jin, there must have been a misunderstanding!

I'll find out what happened.

As well you should.

If you really didn't know it was fake, that is.

But you should know this.

The reason I helped you get the official recognition...

... was to show you that it can be reversed at any time.

What?

I plan to return to Qing with the original copy.

But if I don't, I will tell your King that you gave me this fake information...

...in exchange for the official recognition.

Lord Jin!

So I advise you to do as I say if you want to avoid that, do you understand?

How could this be...?

How could that Uiju Magistrate let this happen?

- My Lord! - Go to Uiju and find out what happened!

Yes, My Lord!

Look who we have here! Aren't you Lord Jang Hee-Jae?

- You...! - Yes, it's me. Shim Woon-Taek.

- You wretch! - What an honor it is to see you here!

How? How are you here in the capital?

I ran away. I was scared that I would die if I stayed in Uiju.

- What? - You didn't know? I thought it was you.

What are you talking about?

Is something wrong? You look tense.

How dare you...!

Shim Woon-Taek, how dare you leave your exile premises!

- You will pay for that with your life! - Will you be the one to make me pay?

What?

But it won't be so easy this time. I have some powerful supporters this time.

What? Supporters?

You mean that wench who became Special Court Lady?

What? You mean Impudent Bean?

How can she even be considered a supporter?

It's His Majesty!

- What? - I came back under His Majesty's orders.

What? His Majesty...?

So this man is the one who helped Lady Chun in Uiju?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty...

Chief Suh, I wish to speak to this man alone. Leave us.

Yes, Your Majesty.
