Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny (Wind, Clouds and Rain / Baramgwa Gooreumgwa Bi / 바람과 구름과 비)

Episode 9

You have announced Heungseon-gun's son Jae-Hwang as the next king

which then angered the Jangdong Kim-Moons

and thus, Heungseon-gun has tried to kill you. Is this true?

My King, this is a misunderstanding!

The criminal must remain silent!

Answer me!

The King has questioned you! Answer immediately!

I answer the king!

Cheoljong 25th King of the Joseon Dynasty

Heungseon-gun Ha-Eung Lee did not try to kill me!

Heungseon-gun has not committed any crimes!

Please have mercy on Heungseon-gun Ha-Eung Lee my King!

What did you just say?

Heungseon-gun is innocent?

Heungseon-gun is responsible for hurting the princess

but it was an accident.

In fact, he was trying to kill me because he thought that I was siding with

the Jangdong Kim-Moon family.

He attempted to kill me out of loyalty to the King!

I will accept any type of punishment.

But please do not think I am on the Jangdong Kim-Moon's side!

Father!

Jae-Hwang Lee Future Emperor Kojong

My King, please forgive my father!

Please forgive him, my King!

What is this! Who allowed this child to come in!

I am sorry, my King.

The Queen Mother allowed him into his father's interrogation.

Queen Jo Queen Mother Hyoyu

It is you!

This is the only way to keep you live.

Heungseon-gun is a high elder amongst the King's relatives.

The rich noble families are gaining power,

wouldn't it be better to show compassion for a King's relative?

But I cannot forgive for hurting the princess and hiding the truth.

You are sentenced to probation, and you must forfeit all of your wealth and property.

My gratitude, my King.

If his punishment is that inadequate

the King might as well have just forgiven him.

Under different circumstances the King would banish him to a harsh region or worse

but we are in desperate times.

The King and Ha-Jeon Lee can both

benefit greatly from having a strong King's relative ally.

We will make him beg for your mercy

so you must gather your feelings as well.

Did you summon the child Jae-Hwang my Queen Mother?

Chun-Jung Choi requested me to do so.

Heungseon-gun kept his life,

the King was shown a reason to forgive.

Chun-Jung is more cunning than I ever expected.

Very useful.

My Lord.

I will come to see you soon.

I wish to speak to you and solve our misunderstandings.

Misunderstandings...

Anyways, I won't forget today.

You have asked for me, my King.

The princess was injured trying to protect you.

I apologize, my King.

But the princess and I have no relationship...

I don't want to hear it.

I did not summon you to hear your excuses.

Yes, my King.

I understand that you and the princess were to be wed 5 years ago,

but the past is in the past.

Now you're a lowly fortune teller.

Do not forget the colossal gap between you and the princess' status.

Yes, my King. I am aware.

I do not ever want to hear of something between you two again.

If you do not listen

Both you and the princess will be punished.

Yes, my King.

My Lord, the princess awaits you.

Princess.

How is your body?

You shouldn't be worried about me.

How are you princess?

Were you worried?

you cannot, Lord Heungseon-gun!

Now you're a lowly fortune teller.

Do not forget the colossal gap between you and the princess' status.

As long as your cheeks are blush with life...

As long as you're breathing...

I can be satisfied.

From now on I hope that you are never put in danger.

I especially do not want to have

anything to do with you getting hurt.

What do you mean? I am truly alright.

I have made some medicine, if you put this over your wounds...

Princess you have betrayed me in the past

and because of it my father died.

That incident will never disappear from between us.

Do not worry about me

and focus on your own well being.

My Lord...

The son of a malicious state criminal

Hwasa Byung-Woon Kim The minister of Finance

casually walking about the king's palace,

interesting how fast the times changes.

Happy to see me?

Incredibly happy of course,

as I am your life savior.

You have saved my life?

That is the most creative statement I've ever heard.

How can you disagree?

If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead.

I've tracked you down but kept you alive this whole time,

because I am a man of my word.

I am keeping a promise to the princess.

A promise with the princess? What does that mean?

You have no idea don't you?

You may leave.

What do you mean by saying you have a promise with the princess?

It is already in the past, there's no use talking about it.

You should worry about the present.

If I ever see you walking about like this

I will make you regret it!

Chi-Seong Yeon Ha-Jeon Lee's personal warrior guard

Ja-Young Min Future Empress Myeongseong

The doctor has left for a moment.

I have a small wound and need some medicine.

May I see your wound?

How is this a small wound?

If you leave it like this it might rot!

Then you might have to amputate it!

You are over exaggerating, just some medicine please.

Stay right here!

Is something wrong?

Thank you.

You should come back after 3 days.

I will take another look at your wound.

10 coins!

This is too much, sir warrior!

Wallsong-ru

It has been a long time sitting with you.

I heard you had many incidents.

Gyeongwon-gun Ha-Jeon Lee Dojeonggung

I hear you have been promoted to the Chief of the leejungchung.

Samjungleejungchung A temporary inspection department created to find corruption and serve justice within the the three major state deparments

- Congratulations! - Congratulations!

Nothing to congratulate!

It is a tiring job with more work and more responsibilities.

But my Lord, you look so well and happy.

They say good fortune shows on the face.

I guess it is true, you look very good sir!

Is that so?

I happened to be curious about my fortune and my face readings, how is it?

My Lord, you have skinny eyes and a small mouth,

a angled face and large body,

you have the face of a snake.

You are gifted with intelligence, but must live in the shadows.

Live in the shadows? What do you mean?

If a snake becomes greedy and devours a large animal, what would happen?

His body would develop a huge bulge.

Becoming easy to prey on and thus eaten himself.

A man with the face of a snake should not be greedy

or he will be attacked by many.

Your telling me to step down from my position as Chief of the Lee Jong Chung?

And stay hidden?

Yes, my Lord.

You will not be able to handle this position.

Maybe speak with more respect...

You will be presented with good opportunities but you must not take them.

You have to let them go.

Your fortune is bad this year and you also lack in talent.

I must have treated you too well you have become arrogant.

Watch your mouth or else I will punish you with contempt.

Remember what I've said before.

The true king is the man who survives.

He would have paid us a fortune if you weren't so rude.

I want to save his life.

Save him?

It may seem cruel but

first he must live in order to become king or anything else.

Wow, who is this I see?

The young Dojeonggung brings new energy into the palace!

Youngcho Byung-Hak Kim Hansung-bu Governor

Thank you, my Lord.

But in order to make room for new energy we must let go of the old.

Haok Jwa-Keun Kim Prime minister

What?

Father, he meant no harm.

Hwasa Byung-Woon Kim The minister of Finance

Please do not give it any thought.

I look forward to your contributions.

I have made some medicine, if you put this over your wounds...

Princess you have betrayed me in the past

and because of it my father died.

That incident will never disappear from between us.

Miss, are you alright?

The noble women's hostess requires you.

I don't feel like it today...

She insisted that you show face.

All the noble women will gather.

Noble women?

Her shamanistic readings are the best?

Na-Hab Jwa-Keun Kim’s concubine

She is excellent in reading children's test results, promotions,

but most importantly, if husbands will be banished for crimes or not.
