Are you all right?
How rude of you. What were you doing?
You are the one who is being rude.
What?
You might be hurting her.
Are you all right?
Yes, I am fine.
What are you doing outdoors with a young lady this late?
What about you?
What were you doing here at this time of night?
I work at the Medical Office, so this is practically my home.
Outsiders should leave the Palace.
I should not have moved.
I saw a ghost as soon as I moved chambers.
What did it look like?
It wore burial clothes.
I am so scared.
Will you stay and care for me tonight?
You were merely startled. I shall bring a herbal tonic.
One that will make you sleep well.
Is that it?
I hurt here.
And here too.
Massage her well.
Okay...
He got so cold.
Is this where it hurts?
Hands off!
Where...
You and Her Highness the princess must be very close.
She fell into your arms as if she were very used to it.
What about you?
You fell right into that medical officer's arms.
That is different.
Her Highness the Princess did it intentionally,
whereas I accidentally bumped into him...
Are you and the Princess...
No.
We do not have the kind of relationship you are thinking of.
I see.
Womanizer?
Using your handsome face?
This is unfair.
His Majesty and I studied together growing up,
so I saw the Princess often when she was little...
Listen. I have never been with a woman and...
Okay.
I heard you.
You need not explain.
Well, I just...
I did not want you to get the wrong idea.
I know. This is where your heart belongs.
That is exactly right.
By the way, why did that court maid...
go to that well? It was sealed off long ago.
She said she was just passing by.
Odd, is it not?
All right. There.
Oh, hold on. My goodness.
All right. Lie down.
Careful.
Vomiting and dizziness.
The same symptoms as those of the court maids.
I saw someone else exhibiting the same symptoms earlier in the day.
Did that person see the ghost too?
That, I did not hear.
He vomited and passed out.
I administered acupuncture, and he woke up.
They all have one thing in common.
Check his eyes.
Glaucoma.
The court maids are exhibiting the exact same symptom.
Then...
do you think the poison is spreading beyond the Palace?
We must find out at once and stop the spread,
or things will get very complicated.
Make way. Coming through.
Make way. Coming through.
Excuse me. Step aside.
Excuse me. Coming through. Please step aside.
If you are in critical condition, stand over here.
If you are just experiencing dizziness,
- wait over here. - This way!
Those who are just dizzy...
Gosh, when will I be seen?
- This way! - Does she have a headache?
She has a fever too?
Hey.
I will make some herbal tonic for you. Be sure to take it.
This mysterious disease is spreading outside the palace walls.
So...
it is spreading among the people too?
His curse...
- Goodness. - What is happening?
- What a disaster. - Oh, dear.
Is His Majesty aware?
What is going on?
- What? - What is this?
His Majesty has canceled today's meetings.
- What? - What is happening?
- Oh, dear. - My goodness.
Is His Majesty aware of the disease spreading outside the palace?
Yes, he has heard about the situation.
I knew this would happen.
He should have never trusted Yoo Se Yeob and those quacks.
Clearly, they have failed to quell the outbreak.
Now, it is spreading beyond the palace walls.
If those quacks cannot sort out this mess,
they will pay for it.
Those of us in the Medical Office will do our best.
Please let us handle this matter.
We are using haedokdan to remove the poison in the court maids' bodies,
so please do not worry.
Again?
Poison, again?
The truth is,
I saw him too.
I saw him.
What if...
someone poisons me, just like they did to my father?
No.
I will not let that happen!
Your Majesty.
I will not die.
I will not let anyone take my life!
I trust...
that you will save me,
no matter what.
The ghost you saw. What did he look like?
He was clad in burial clothes.
He was covered in blood.
So was the butterfly ornament.
How did you know that it was Cho Tae Hak's spirit?
Rumors are already running rampant within the palace walls.
That his vindictive spirit is roaming the palace grounds.
You said you just happened to be passing by the well.
She must have come here for a reason.
She came to this sealed well?
In the middle of the night? Why?
I am certain that she came here to do something.
I smell lilies.
Where is this coming from?
No!
A ghost.
He believes Cho Tae Hak's ghost haunts the Palace.
How dare you. Who told you that you could roam around the palace?
I am here with Gyesoo Clinic as per His Majesty's orders.
Oh, I know who you are.
The widow with terrible character.
You went against your ethics and morals and destroyed your in-laws.
Become a decent person before you work as a physician.
Why?
Were you roaming around, hoping to seduce His Majesty?
How could you insult me like this?
How dare you raise your voice at me?
You think you can talk back to me since His Majesty...
is siding with you sly quacks?
Sir, the Second State Councilor is looking for you.
Why?
Where is he?
He dropped by the Medical Office, but I am not sure where he is now.
He dropped by when I was not there?
The Second State Councilor, of all people?
Goodness.
We met last night.
Oh, I am not on his side.
I am a nice person.
I am a widower too.
My wife passed away years ago.
We are in the same boat.
I happened to overhear everything.
I am Jeon Kang Il, a physician in the Medical Office.
I see. I am a physician too.
I know.
You are here with Yoo Se Yeob.
May I ask you your name?
Seo Eun Woo.
What a pretty name.
The royal physician insulted you.
I would like to make you a cup of tea to apologize on his behalf.
Oh, that is okay. I am in a rush to look into something.
Look into what?
May I help you?
Then do you know if there is a place inside the palace where lilies grow?
Lilies?
No, as far as I know.
We buy the ones we use for medicinal purposes.
That is odd.
I am certain I smelled them.
I am sorry. I do not think I can have tea with you today.
Lady Eun Woo.
Did he do something?
Oh, no.
He helped me, so we just exchanged names.
You exchanged names?
What did he help you with?
Well...
It is nothing you need to concern yourself with.
That physician seems to know the details,
so why should I not bother?
