Moon Embracing the Sun (해를 품은 달)

=Episode 1=-

From time immemorial,

there were two suns in the sky,

and there were also two moons.

Thus, the days were extremely hot,

and the nights were very cold.

All of creation was in chaos,

and the people were miserable.

Then a hero appeared

and used arrows to shoot down one sun and one moon.

Only then did peace reign in the world.

That's right. Out of the chaos a hero emerged.

Isn't that right, nephew?

Even those born from another womb are considered a part of one's own bloodline.

His Majesty dotes on Prince Ui Seong.

Yes, that's why a formidable group has appeared with Prince Ui Seong as its leader.

What should we do? We can't just sit and wait for a hero to appear, right?

This slow-witted subject is unable to understand Queen Dowager's meaning.

Please become a hero, our loyal servant.

His Majesty has some misgivings so he can't speak directly,

so please state outright that you'll be a hero.

There is only one sun in the sky,

and there is also only one throne.

The existence of Prince Ui Seong

is a threat to the security of his Majesty's throne.

So you must make him disappear.

-=Prince Ui Seong: King Seong Jo's younger half-brother from his father. =-

Who was the one that ordered you? -=Prince Ui Seong: King Seong Jo's younger half-brother from his father. =-

What is it?

What's the matter?

It's so late. Where are you going?

Can't you feel it?

Clearly, the air is heavy with the stench of killing.

Even if you go, there's nothing you can do.

But I still have to go and take a look.

That person, that person is in danger.

A Ri!

A Ri!

A Ri!

Stop!

It has been a while,

Grand Prince Ui Seong.

So it's actually an acquaintance that visits my house everyday.

Before, you wanted to use me as a leader to obtain power.

Now it looks like you're changing your plan.

If not, are you looking for a new leader?

Indeed I'm going to support another person.

In the future, I'll become His Majesty's loyal subject.

Recently, it seems a group of trash can also obtain power.

You said that only the monarch is qualified to discuss political affairs.

Those trash aren't qualified, right?

His Majesty will not be deceived by a treacherous person like you!

I want to see just who His Majesty will believe.

But it's really a pity.

Grand Prince, you won't have the opportunity to see His Majesty again.

So, shall I just send you off?

Please don't worry.

Grand Prince, your close friend,

The Grand Adviser, has already gone ahead of you.

Why can't you just let the Grand Adviser off?

All his so-called advices are directed at the Queen Dowager's family.

For the Queen Dowager to take action, it is an expected matter.

It really isn't a bad night.

Since you have the company of moonlight,

the journey to the grave shouldn't be that hard.

Chase after her!

It's a Celestial Hall's shaman. -=Celestial Hall: office in charge of training royal shamans=-

Search thoroughly. -=Celestial Hall: office in charge of training royal shamans=-

If she's alive, kill her. If she's dead, I want to see the body.

- Yes! - Yes!

The head shaman is here.

Where is A Ri?

That...

A Ri.

A Ri?

Extraordinary power.

Together with Nok Yeong, she is being considered as the next head shaman.

Being that she's already injured, I believe she can't go very far.

They're currently carefully searching nearby. I believe they'll immediately...

A romance between a royal and a shaman.

Looks like the heavens is currently helping us.

What do you mean?

That child, A Ri, used to be Prince Ui Seong's household slave.

Since there's love between those two, then the people near them should know.

Then, wouldn't that be even more dangerous?

Why is that?

To give up your life just for the one you love,

That is a woman's so-called love.

That girl has seen the whole thing.

It is not impossible for her to risk death and rush into the palace.

If we can't immediately settle that girl--

If that girl

hopes for the person she loves to become the owner of the throne...

And in order to fulfill that hope she used a talisman.

It's not like it's a matter that's impossible.

But...

We don't have evidence of that girl using a talisman.

Celestial Hall's head shaman is my trusted subordinate.

What problem will there be?

Start the operation together.

On imperial orders, arrest the renegade...

Are the contents of the letter all true? -=King Seong Ju=-

There seems to be an internal rebellion among the renegades.

Grand Adviser Hong Man Ho repented before he died.

He wrote a suicide letter and then committed suicide to atone for his sins.

I am guilty.

Because I didn't do my best,

I missed the opportunity to catch all the renegades. I am sorry.

Please give me my punishment.

Your Majesty, the Celestial Hall's head shaman has arrived.

About this talisman, what do you have to say?

This talisman will strengthen the sun's power.

Is that true?

In front of Your Majesty, how do I dare speak nonsense?

This talisman will indeed strengthen the sun's power.

Who was the one that owned this item?

It is Celestial Hall's A Ri's magical talisman.

A Ri indeed did have this talisman.

That shaman called A Ri, where is she now?

Knowing that she was exposed, she is currently fleeing.

That shaman must be caught.

What's the matter? Why are you screaming?

There- there's- there's- a person there.

N- no, it's a dead body.

No, no, it's a person.

Put me down.

The baby in the womb will be startled, Madam.

Please quickly return to the palanquin.

A human life is priceless. How can you ask me to turn a blind eye?

Sir... Sir...

Wake up. Please wake up.

Sir... quickly escape...

We cannot leave her like this. Quickly bring her to the palanquin.

We don't know what kind of person she is. How can we?

Quickly come here and help.

Stop the palanquin.

Sir, why are you stopping us?

We're looking for a renegade that's currently fleeing.

Lift open the palanquin door.

A renegade?

You can't do that. How can you casually lift open the door of a palanquin?

What is the matter?

Why are you stopping us?

We're currently looking for a renegade.

Please step out for a moment.

I'm just returning from praying for my unborn child.

It's inconvenient to walk now.

If you suspect something, then please follow me back to my home.

How about it? Do you want to go together?

Pardon my offenses.

Let's go.

Stop the palanquin!

Please step out--

Aigoo! Blood, blood! There's blood.

This won't do. The doctor said that you must be very careful.

Please, quickly let us go.

If this continues, something big will happen.

It's the child of an embassy official.

If something happens, will you be able to take the responsibility?

Out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!

Go quickly. Let's go quickly.

Madam. Madam, please wait a moment.

Aigoo... oh God.

I really don't know how to repay you for all this.

For a servant like me,

to have dirtied your beautiful clothes,

and to have you pretend to have labor pains.

It wasn't pretend.

Just then, I really thought that it wasn't going to work.

It wasn't me. It was this child that saved you.

It's really a girl that's as beautiful as the moon.

Then, are you saying that this child is a girl?

That's right.

You're a shaman, just as expected.

I still want this child to receive some spiritual influence.

It's really a coincidence.

Yes, her fate is to be wealthy...

What is it?

It's... it's nothing. I just felt a bit dizzy.

Will you really be all right by yourself?

I'm all right. Please be at ease, Madam.

All the kindness that you have given today,

I'll forever engrave them in my heart.

Although I'm not a shaman, I have a keen eye for knowing people.

I can see you're not a bad person.

Madam!

Even if I die, I'll protect your daughter.

Stop.

Who was the person that ordered you?

That piece of talisman... I don't know.

It's still not too late.

As long as you can be honest,

I'll leave your body intact.

Having never written a talisman,

how can there be a person that ordered me?

Evidence of you collaborating with the renegades was left!

Do you still want to keep denying it?

Did you just say renegade?

And that evidence was left?

If you who is creating a false crime isn't a renegade,
