What is wrong with you?

I had no idea you were taking medicine with white Atractylodes and its root.

I did not know that you die if you eat a peach with it.

If I knew...

If I knew...

I would never have given you a peach!

Mother, I gave it to him!

I gave Hyungnim the peach-

What are you talking about?

Do you really want to die?

Your Highness! His Majesty is here.

Your Majesty.

Greetings.

What is going on? What happened?

Why were you covering the Grand Prince's mouth?

It is nothing, Father.

The Grand Prince was speaking nonsensically because he was not able to sleep.

It appears the Grand Prince is hallucinating.

What do you mean, hallucinations?

What did you see?

He kept saying that he saw a burning oyat tree.

He is burning up with a fever.

That is why he sees hallucinations.

It is because he has grown weak.

The oyat tree being set on fire was not due to the curse of the ghost of Song.

It will not do for a man to be so weak of heart.

I heard he has been talking nonsense and throwing up what he ate.

What kind of nonsense is he saying?

Your Highness. May I ask who will be the woman who will live in this house?

This house will be used as a school to teach children.

Furnish that upper deck with desks.

- Giyeok - Giyeok!

- Kieuk! - Kieuk!

- Digeut! - Digeut!

By chance,

is the woman who will live here Eunuch Go?

Does she not have a fiance?

Did she say she would not return to the Sergeant?

She says that she will not return to him

and live by herself.

Gosh, she is quite an incredible girl-

woman.

Marriage is a covenant between two families.

Not return to him when the marriage acceptance letters have been exchanged already...

What did she say was her reason?

I am in love with someone else.

I have someone I secretly love.

That is why I cannot go to him.

By chance, have you seen Soon Dol meet another man?

Pardon?

The only people she would meet were either palace ladies or eunuchs,

so if you can think of eunuchs as men, then I suppose so.

What I mean is,

have you seen her

meet a man in private,

consistently,

personally, just the two of them by themselves?

- I have! - Who is he?

Is she not with you all the time like that?

Not me. Someone who is really stupid.

A dimwit who is smart but lacks awareness.

Pardon?

Forget it.

Never mind.

What does it matter who that guy is...

Just fix the door.

You should take extra good care of him.

- He's your younger sibling. - Yes, Father.

I will command the Royal Physician to take extra good care of him

so do not be too worried, Queen.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Oh, Mother!

Please escort her to the Queen's Palace. I will follow you.

No. I must stay by the Grand Prince's side.

That is what I will do.

Grand Prince.

I must know the truth in order for your mother to protect you, Grand Prince.

Did you really give a peach

to Crown Prince Ui Hyeon?

Grandfather...

gave me a peach.

Grandfather!

Wow, peaches!

Elder Hyungnim! Guess what is in my sleeve!

What have you hidden inside it this time?

This is yours, Elder Hyungnim,

and this is mine.

It looks quite delicious.

Looking at the peaches reminded me of you!

He gave the peaches to me to share with Elder Hyungnim...

After the Elder Hyungnim ate that peach, he...

I heard what the eunuchs were saying.

The reason Elder Hyungnim passed away was because of a peach.

Younger Hyungnim did not give him a peach. It was me.

Because of the peach I gave him, Elder Hyungnim...

No.

It is not your fault.

Do not cry. You did not know anything.

All you did was carry out what Grandfather told you to do.

Pay attention and listen carefully to what your mother is saying.

You must never speak of such things ever again.

This never happened. It was just a dream.

You only dreamed of such a thing.

You have never done something like that.

You must forget it.

You must forget it so that you can live.

You must live in order for your mother to live as well.

Answer me.

Tell me that you will not

ever speak of this again!

Yes, Mother.

I will go to my orabeoni.

His Highness is not here right now.

He is currently reading in the library,

but he ordered us not to let anyone enter the library.

I see.

- Never mind. Perhaps this is for the best. - Pardon?

Do not tell Orabeoni that I dropped by.

Eunuch Go, follow me.

Pardon?

The Grand Prince said such a thing?

What do you think happened?

You solved the Sabangahn case,

and I heard your wisdom played a big factor

in proving the innocence of the Left State Minister.

Do you think what the Grand Prince said was true?

How could I know that?

Only the Grand Prince would know the truth-

However, when Crown Prince Ui Hyeon passed away, the Grand Prince was only seven years old.

And even if he did give him the peach, he would not have had any malicious intentions.

Would the intentions be important?

Once this comes to light, the entire palace will be in an uproar

and I do not know if the Grand Prince will be safe.

I am sorry, Your Highness,

but I feel this is something you should tell His Highness.

So why did you say it was a good thing that His Highness was not in his chambers?

He will soon be married.

The Grand Prince has been saying nonsense like

seeing a ghost and a snake, and now

he says he gave a peach to Crown Prince Ui Hyeon.

How could everything that he says be true?

It would just trouble Orabeoni for no reason.

He says he sees a ghost and a snake?

He saw a snake come out from the head shaman's body.

He already gets easily scared, so how shocked must he have been?

No. Never mind.

My mind was so chaotic. I should not have told you.

Do not tell His Highness about this.

You, too, should forget this.

Yes, Your Highness.

Scholar Park-

Is Young Master Kim inside?

Yes, but...

he wrote down what we discussed on a big piece of paper,

and he keeps staring at it without even eating.

He will soon figure out the answer.

But what brings you here?

Is this not the fabric for woman's clothing?

How many dresses would you be able to make with this?

Well, if you do not waste any fabric, you could probably make about 6 or 7 outfits...

I mean,

how would a man like me know that...

but my mother does sewing work,

so I am telling you this from having seen her work.

Then,

make some woman's clothing for me with this fabric.

Make about five dresses for Min Jae Yi,

and make two dresses for yourself.

If you lack fabric, then I will get you some more.

Wait...

how will I know that murderer, Maiden Min Jae Yi?

Also, why do you tell me to use this fabric to make dresses for me when I am a man?

Gosh.

I know that you are Jang Ga Ram-

I-I am sorry, Scholar Sir.

- Then... - I also know that Go Soon Dol

is Min Jae Yi.

Watch yourself.

Do not go around by yourself, but always go with your master.

Is not a capture-and-return order out for you?

But...

why are you having clothes made for My Lady?

When everything is resolved,

will she not have to return to her life?

How long can she stay in the palace wearing a eunuch uniform?

And the same goes for you as well.

How long can you live wearing a man's clothes?

Why are you blocking the road?

I mean, you can just pass through this way...

We always stick to the side of this house when we pass by.

The Grand Prince has been saying nonsense like seeing a ghost and a snake,

and now he says he gave a peach to Crown Prince Ui Hyeon.

Is he truly speaking nonsense?

Your Highness, welcome. You have returned.

Sit down.

How come you did not take me with you?

Going out of the palace with the Guardian Warrior is dangerous.

I have not stopped being suspicious of him yet.

It is all right.
