CHARACTERS AND BACKGROUND THAT APPEAR IN THIS DRAMA
IT HAS NO RELATIONSHIP WITH HISTORICAL FACTS AND IS JUST FICTION.
Mrs.
This seems a little...
I'll take care of the rest, and you just have to sit down.
If anyone saw, they would immediately know.
Why doesn't Madam just speak frankly?
Only people with dark secrets would want to meet like this.
I'll find out who while I can.
Don't forget to pretend to be surprised and run away when I appear.
You already look like a widow.
Let's go!
Is this Cho Sung Hoo the man you and His Majesty are looking for?
I am not sure.
His Majesty, who was the crown prince at the time,
didn't know that his father had shadow soldiers disguised as King's Guards.
Then, it could be that his little sister doesn't know anything.
He probably doesn't know what happened that day,
but he may have heard of her whereabouts or reports.
Maybe Cho Sung Hoo also said something to his younger brother.
What if Cho Sung Hoo's younger brother cannot be trusted?
Where did you put the fan I gave you last time?
About that...
I left it at work.
Oh, at work.
Now you have the courage to lie.
That...
Yoon Hak.
How can you...
Good grief.
While I met his sister,
stay alert outside.
Yoon Hak, about this fan...
Wait a minute.
Okay.
Does anyone know about my coming here today?
I won't let anyone know what happened today.
Can you make a deal?
Madam, this is a very important matter,
involving the life and death of Cho Sung Hoo.
Can you promise?
If you can't promise,
then I also don't want to talk anymore.
Who are you?
Don't turn around.
Answer my question.
Fast!
Back off.
Sir?
Mrs?
- Yoon Hak. - Mr. Royal Secretary?
Do you know who I am?
I don't know.
My goodness.
The woman who just left,
what is the son-in-law of the Left National Advisor?
That...
Where are you going?
Yoon Hak.
Stop right there!
Yoon Hak.
What are you doing now?
- Yoon Hak. - You should catch him, not me!
I have a reason.
Go home first, I will find it soon.
Hey, Soo Ho.
So...
...pushing me.
TRUTH OR LIES
This won't happen if you just talk to him.
But instead you took out your sword.
If I had known from the start he was the Royal Secretary,
I will not take out my sword.
By the way, what exactly happened to your sister?
Starting from the wife of the Minister of Finance to the Royal Secretary.
Maybe, the Defense Officer will come here.
If he comes, I'll ask.
I told him to stay away from the Myungdo Inn.
What? But why?
Mistress continues to engage with him.
So I'm worried that one day Madam will get into trouble.
Despite that, Madam is a widow,
and the Defense Officer was a young man.
Why are there the words widow and man here?
- This is about my brother... - Then...
What if affection arises between you?
Yong Deok and Mrs. Baek...
Gosh, are you crazy?
Chief Merchant, are you in there?
Good grief.
Have you come?
I need to talk to Madam for a moment.
Then, please speak.
What I said before, it all still applies.
Maybe you should get rid of the source of the problem.
Neither the elder nor the child seemed to know anything about it,
unreasonable decisions will only cause problems.
Could it be that he deliberately pretended not to know?
I'll get rid of him when the time is right, so don't be reckless.
I understand.
Now, you can't say why the Royal Secretary,
looking for my brother's whereabouts?
I don't have an answer for that.
OK, you can go home.
There's nothing more I want to say.
The Chief Merchant asked me,
Am I planning to take your life by locking you in the house?
That's not my goal,
but I also don't want to put you in danger.
So, I don't want you to do anything,
and I'm looking for the right way.
So,
have you found the answer?
Maybe the answer is not to be sought,
but it has been there since the beginning.
Why is the person my brother is looking for is you?
When I keep wandering around and end up finding you.
Right now, you and I...
...also suffered the same fate.
My real name is Im Hyun Jae.
Im Kang, Head of the King's Guard for the late King...
...is my father.
The King's Head Guard and his entire family were killed.
Several members of the King's Guard also disappeared.
In that case,
the day my brother disappeared, the day the family was murdered.
Yoon Hak who saved me when I was dying in that pool of blood.
And I live my life hiding who my parents are.
My goodness.
What really happened?
Yoon Hak and I were looking for the truth at that time.
Well then, I guess I should meet the Royal Secretary again.
This will be dangerous.
Stop worrying about me now.
And also, I am stronger than Mr. Royal Secretary.
We have to find it.
My older brother.
And your name too, sir.
Mrs.
Stop right there!
Is that Mr Officer's fan?
The person Yeon Sun protects.
There is a story behind the witness's identity that cannot be revealed to the Police Bureau.
The identity of the witness who cannot be revealed...
Mr. Royal Secretary?
People wearing masks.
Actually, who is that woman?
You don't need to know.
What should be protected?
Now you have the courage to lie.
Fan owner.
What exactly is the Royal Secretary looking for?
I heard he was looking for things my brother left behind.
This sword is the only one left by my brother.
That's not the sword you're looking for, right?
I pointed this sword at his neck,
if this was the sword he was looking for, he should recognize it.
So what is he looking for?
Whatever that is,
I have to find it.
Some people experience something they never imagined.
And 15 years ago,
in that pool of blood,
I'm the only one who survived.
You said you would come soon.
But now it's just come.
Yoon Hak.
I couldn't sleep last night because I was waiting for you.
Why didn't you come?
Forgive me.
It's so late that I'm afraid I'll wake you up.
Is that masked person...
...is the son-in-law of the Left State Adviser?
What?
Good grief. That...
How could Councilor Seok's son-in-law get out over the fence?
How could he possibly wander around wearing a mask like that?
That's highly unlikely.
I'm just asking,
was that person yesterday the son-in-law of the Left State Councilor.
After all, he looked like he was experienced.
- Yoon Hak. - And also my guess,
he also has your fan.
Why?
Should we go to the Left State Councilor's house and confirm it?
You don't have to do it.
The Left State Councilor's son-in-law wishes to see you again.
Just one spoonful, Mother.
It seems like Jung keeps appearing in my dreams because he hates me.
Because we haven't found the body yet,
he wouldn't feel comfortable even if he was dead.
Don't say that, Mother.
This is because my devotion is not enough.
I have to go to the temple and pray for him.
I'll take you.
No, if I vacate my house, do you have to vacate yours too?
Stay at home, I'll go with Jae Yi.
WE WILL BE AT...
You have been very busy lately.
What do you want to say?
There are many things I want to tell you.
You said this for the sake of the Legend Hero.
You made me go back and forth to Myungdo Inn several times!
Bi Chan.
Tell this to your Legend Hero.
But,
- how? - Go to Myungdo's accommodation,
there will be someone there to help you convey it.
Fine, I will complete this mission.
And also,
I'm thinking of re-investigating the Kang Pil Jik case.
What?
The Chief of Defense has told him not to do it.
So, I'm just telling you this.
Again...
First, let me take care of the Chief of Defense.
You have to look for data related to Kang Pil Jik's transactions with the Minister of Finance.
I understand.
Where did Madam Bong Mal go?
Does no one know where he went so early in the morning?
- Forgive us... - My mother is going to the temple!
Someone has to get ready to go.
- Forgive us. - Please forgive us.
Don't make a fuss, go in and be ready.
Gosh, how is this?
I also do not know.
Sir
- What is it? - Forgive me.
- Sir? - What?
Forgive me. Forgive me.
Please give, I ask you for help.
Okay.
Hey, kid.
Have you seen a handsome and tall man here?
That's me. What do you need?
Good grief.
Master... Oh my!
Gosh, what is this?
Long time no see. Long time no see you.
"Long Time?"
"No See", maksudnya?
Stop crying.
Forgive me.
I was thinking maybe I'll go today.
Maybe tomorrow too.
How could this happen?
You are alive and well.
How can you not go home?
And wander around like a ghost? Good grief!
No.
Good grief. Calm! Calm!
Calm. Try to calm down.
Try taking a deep breath.
Okay.
Do you really think I'm dead?
Isn't it because someone said I was dead?
You died on your wedding day,
and couldn't find your body.
So, Madame lay ill for more than a year.
My father...
...told my mother that I was dead,
so cruelly.
Don't do this here!
Hurry back home.
Madam Bong Mal.
If I go back now,
things can get complicated.
I'll be back when it's all over,
but in the meantime, I ask you to look after my mother.
The only person I trust right now is Madam Bong Mal.
You're right.
Don't worry about that.
Hey.
Why did you bother to accompany me?
You'll be late coming in because you're dropping me off.
No.
I'm too late, I told you so.
And also, you are the wife of the Left State Councilor of this country.
I was a little late because my wife had to travel a long way.
Who dares to comment on that?
Dad, you only care about Mom all this time.
You also have to take care of your mother.
Okay.
Don't worry about homework and rest.
I'll come back safely, so don't worry.
Nothing can be neglected in the journey. Bring the Lady safely.
- Okay. - We understand.
Be careful on the road, Mom.
Pick up.
Yeo Hwa
Yes, Dad.
Hurry in and do your job.
OK, Dad.
- Here! - Yes sir.
Yes sir.
Mrs.
There is a letter from Myungdo Inn.
Is it true?
I HAVE ARRANGED A MEETING. WE WILL BE AT THE MYUNGDO INN...
I have to go immediately.
Tell the servant that I will pray at the temple today.
Okay.
Since Mother is not here, they will not come to look for me.
No, the more you think about it, the funnier it becomes, right?
Honourable.
An extraordinary person who appears every night when the moon rises and helps...
...the poor and needy are the sons-in-law of the Left State Councilor.
When you told me that story, I wondered...
...how tired people are to create such delusions.
I feel uncomfortable sitting here.
Advisor Seok dreams of a country filled with nobles,
and his son-in-law who wears a mask to serve the people.
I really wonder what Advisor Seok would do if he found out about this.
Honourable.
As someone who has known His Majesty for a long time,
Can I make a request?
Say it.
For the time being, let me take care of the Left National Adviser's son-in-law.
Why?
Someone is worried about him.
What...
...that person is you?
Hell, no.
I just want to protect people who are worried about Mrs. Cho.
Oh it's like that.
Don't worry.
He's Cho Sung Hoo's younger brother.
of course it must be protected.
Forgive me, Your Highness.
You're serious?
No.
Long time no see.
You haven't changed at all, have you?
Dad is getting very old.
I told you not to come back, have you forgotten what I'm going to do?
Dad will kill me before I come back.
It is the best for everyone.
Who are 'all'?
Even though I was considered a dead child. Nope.
Dad could kill me now and I wouldn't mind.
But how could Father say to Mother,
that this perfectly healthy child is dead?
Father should have told him to treat me as dead.
Mother must have suffered for years.
A child who abandons his parents, why worry about his parents?
When I say you're dead to me,
Do you think you'll ever see your mother again?
I apologize.
If you understand, go.
Don't ever think about setting foot in Joseon a second time.
No.
Because I already know my mistakes,
I have to fix it now.
I will apologize directly to the woman who became a widow because of me,
and also to Mother.
Dad must also be responsible for Dad's mistakes!
Damn!
Besides, I've already died once.
I will spend my second life paying for my mistakes.
Okay.
Then hurry up and leave Joseon tomorrow.
- Father. - And that's it!
How you can pay for your mistakes.
You are a dead person.
Dead people cannot live again.
Don't make your mother lose her child for the second time.
Yep!
Kkot Nim, why are you outside?
The sun has risen very high,
but why haven't you opened a shop yet?
If you like this,
how can you live?
That's it.
Life is difficult.
Of course, life is difficult.
Where is anything easy in this world?
Despite that,
cheer up
This is dried persimmon.
A lady I know said,
as he took a deep breath while looking outside,
he will become enthusiastic if he eats dried persimmons.
Yes, this is delicious.
This really boosts my energy.
That lady too,
must have difficulty with living in the world.
I may not know because I'm still young,
but he said the widow cannot go out.
The lady you know is the daughter-in-law of the Left State Adviser...
He's the person I like most in this world,
but he looked very sad when he sat alone.
I feel sad.
Oh it's like that.
I feel very guilty.
Why do you feel so guilty?
Ah no.
Are there any more dried persimmons available?
This is so delicious.
If you are enthusiastic again now,
Hurry up and start selling.
Baik, Kkot Nim.
Kang Pil Jik and the wife of the Minister of Finance are brothers from different fathers?
I was asked to keep this a secret,
so I couldn't tell Madam.
Whose side are you on now?
From what I see, you two are on the same side,
and I'm the only one who's different.
The Minister of Finance's wife is related to the Queen Mother,
and I wonder why she would marry someone like Yeom Heung Jib.
He endured humiliation and violence...
...because of his family's bad past.
Do you feel sorry for the Finance Minister's wife?
No.
If only I had known earlier, I would not have let him manipulate me.
Why are there so many people hiding their true identity?
I don't think that should come out of your mouth.
What...
...I can find out what the relationship between the Minister of Finance's wife and my father-in-law is?
Their meeting two days ago made me quite worried.
It won't be easy.
Should we find out about Kang Pil Jik?
What if Kang Pil Jik has something to do with it...
...with the Minister of Finance's wife and your father-in-law?
However he tries to lie,
he served our country his entire life.
I don't want to believe that he's related to such a lowly person.
The Capital Defense Office will soon come,
I will prepare tea.
MYUNGDO ACCOMMODATION
Oh.
Is the Head Merchant inside?
Looks like he's in his room.
Thank you. Thank You.
What?
Thank you.
Thank You.
That's what it means.
Thank you.
Head Merchant, you're inside, right?
Good grief.
Head Trader.
- Head... - Oh my God.
Head...
My goodness.
Good grief.
Forgive me.
But,
- Didn't we meet at... - Never.
I think I've seen it before. Where is your house?
It seems like we passed each other on the street by accident.
I don't have a house.
What?
What happened?
That...
I wanted to meet the Head Merchant but there was someone else inside.
But, I think I know him.
You don't know him.
Wait, I know it but why are you...
This can't be someone you know.
Look elsewhere for the Chief Merchant.
But...
I remember.
your lover,
right, right?
- Good grief. That's not it, go quickly. - Okay.
I will disappear for your beautiful relationship.
Hope you enjoy your time.
My goodness. My goodness!
Good grief.
Why are you not careful?
You should just show your whole face!
I felt he was strange.
The way he talks is strange,
it feels really strange every time I see it,
it was clear he was no good.
What is wrong with it?
All he knows is that you are my lover.
- Gosh, that's not what I meant... - You're talking about nonsense,
so the Chief Merchant became like that.
What did the Chief Merchant say?
What if affection arises between you?
- Yong Deok and Mrs. Baek... - Gosh, are you crazy?
So you didn't come with the Royal Secretary?
Come with me to the book rental place.
- All right. - And also...
...my sister already knows your identity.
Gosh, it turns out he's very sensitive.
I already thought this would happen.
And also...
Whatever happens, think about yourself first.
Oh yes.
The position of Minister of Finance has been vacant for a long time.
Have you still not found the right person to replace you?
I've been looking for the right candidate,
and will recommend the top three candidates.
If there are no candidates,
what about Park Yoon Hak?
You mean, the person who worked as Royal Secretary for more than 10 years,
now we show as Minister of Finance?
There has to be a first time for anything.
A great State Advisor like you can guide him well.
Honourable.
Do you know why I think you are fit to be king?
Who knows.
I've always been curious about that.
Why did you say I was a worthy person at that time?
That's because I know your fear.
When you were young, you told me, who was your mentor,
that you are afraid of being a king who has to take on big responsibilities.
You said you would rather be an ordinary prince, not a Crown Prince.
I remember that.
I like you like that.
You don't dream of anything dangerous,
even if dreaming of something small,
you are never greedy to make it real.
I like you who are humble like that.
Is that why you gave me the throne?
Because I know myself?
Looking for the right person for the position of Minister of Finance...
...is my job.
You have to be able to differentiate between what you can do and what you can't.
That's the basis for being humble, and if you stay consistent,
your reign will not be so short.
Honourable.
The Queen Mother will enter.
The Queen Mother has arrived.
I invited Mrs. Oh who was in mourning,
to come here to cheer him up.
Coincidentally he came with delicious tea.
Left State Advisor, let's drink together.
Please forgive me, I have important matters.
- I will go now. - Too bad.
Oh yes.
Mrs. Oh often tells me about your daughter-in-law.
You must be very proud of him.
I heard that Mrs. Oh's guidance inspired him.
Good grief.
Sometimes come with him.
I want to talk to him directly.
OK, I'll tell you.
BOOK RENTAL SHOP
I apologize for what happened at that time.
It was my fault for asking to meet without any explanation.
Please sit.
I wanted to hear the answer that I didn't have time to hear at that time.
After your sister disappeared,
haven't you heard anything?
I didn't come to answer that question.
I heard 15 years ago,
My brother disappeared after receiving orders from the previous king.
Is it true?
How did you know about that?
I heard it from the Finance Minister's wife.
I don't know what story he's telling,
but that can't be a lie, right?
Fifteen years ago,
the incident of the family of the King's Chief Guard who was killed,
and the disappearance of my brother,
actually what is the cause?
You already know a lot of things.
What else do you want to know?
Please tell me starting from the events of that day.
On that day,
The previous king died.
And also,
we believe...
...that the King died of poison.
What do you mean, there was betrayal?
It was stated in the file that it was a natural death,
so it can't be confirmed,
whether it is betrayal or not.
The poison used to kill the King,
the same as the poison drunk by the Minister of Finance.
Seeing him tell Cho Sung Hoo,
it is clear that the wife of the Minister of Finance...
...already know about all this stuff.
Maybe.
It seems so.
Who is the real person behind the Finance Minister's wife?
Your son-in-law is a very interesting person.
There are things you can't tell me, right?
The person behind the Finance Minister's wife,
a person who commits treason.
Even more,
You don't want to tell me about that person, right?
Correct.
Me and Your Majesty,
believed that all this was done by the Left State Councilor.
Is there any proof?
You are one of the proofs.
Compared to his family, you don't have any relations.
You who don't have any relationship with the Left State Councilor,
Why do you think you suddenly got married?
Shouldn't the Left State Councilor find someone...
...who can take orders from the King?
The reason my father took me to his family...
...because of my sister?
That's what we thought.
It's been 15 years.
For 15 years, I lived like his daughter.
Isn't everything still uncertain?
This is definitely something that is not easy to believe.
Today that's enough for now.
Are you alright?
I am alright.
I will contact you again.
Good grief!
can i come in
You must be having difficulties because of my son's departure.
No.
You must really miss your brother, huh?
I did everything in my power to find him,
so please let me know if there is any news or anything that could help.
Thank You. Thank you dad.
Dad!
Yeo Hwa, where is the place your sister often visits?
Maybe that will help a little.
Isn't there anything else your brother left behind?
He left in a great hurry.
Gosh, he really is.
What...
...still no news about my brother?
I'm doing everything I can, I'll let you know soon.
Let's wait for it together.
Should I not speak any more about your son-in-law's older brother.
Could this be a threat to me?
Very unfortunate.
From the beginning...
...is Dad really looking for my brother?
I didn't know Master was already here.
- I deserve to die. - No.
Forget it.
I came early because I thought of something.
It turns out I'm getting older.
Who would dare say such a thing?
I'll be right away...
A long time has passed,
so I haven't tied it for a long time.
Before it gets any more annoying,
Now it's time for me to fix it immediately.
Send down your order.
Looks like the Finance Minister's wife...
...must follow in her husband's footsteps to die.
What?
Isn't he actually a sibling from a different father to you?
even though his status is above you?
This is much better than having to spend time in prison,
for the crime of murder he committed.
This is all for your own brother.
Sir
How could you order me...
If he hangs his neck that's fine too,
or let his body be destroyed by falling off a cliff,
that's not a bad idea.
Whatever it is, don't take too long.
The older I get, the less patience I have.
Why didn't you say so earlier?
What would you do if you knew it first?
If the Left National Advisor is the mastermind behind it all...
Wasn't he the one who killed my parents that day?
Correct.
So I asked what would you do?
I am not going to...
...received a drink from him.
Are you going to immediately brandish the sword,
and avenge your parents?
What can not?
If you kill him...
...the truth will not be revealed.
You will also be in danger and everything will end in vain.
I died 15 years ago.
Even His Majesty for 15 years...
...bear all the humiliation and quietly wait for the time to come.
If the sole purpose is to kill the Left State Counselor...
...it won't take long.
What...
...what should I do?
Evidence of the Left State Councilor attempting treason.
Cho Sung Hoo definitely has it.
What if I can't find it?
Maybe there will be another way.
By that other way, do you mean the Left State Councilor's son-in-law?
I don't have the right to decide.
Yoon Hak.
I...
...will make sure there won't be any more...
...which hurts the people around me.
Is that woman...
...a very important person to you?
I will protect him from harm.
But there must be something you can do with your powers.
If you have found it, don't hesitate to move.
I can't doubt it. Right, right, Sung Hoo?
Would you like to go out for a moment?
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
How about you?
If what your brother said is true doesn't that mean that Master and my family...
...will be enemies?
Even if that happens,
don't worry, I won't take revenge on you.
Then, there's no guarantee I'll win if I point my sword at you.
I remembered that!
The person who checked your wounds that day, I once fought with him.
Who's he?
I should have killed that guy a long time ago.
Yeo Hwa
It must be Kang Pil Jik.
Are you sure?
I remember it clearly because he used a uniquely shaped sword.
That day, I didn't think much about it because you fainted.
When I saw that sword,
I remember the pain from the past.
I'll check this out.
No, I have to catch Kang Pil Jik.
If you say so, I will gladly give in.
He has a very bad relationship with me,
please handle him roughly.
Okay.
If that's the case, I'll take my leave.
Be careful.
Go to Myungdo Inn and secretly find out,
is the man named Ju gone.
Yes sir.
Is Dad ready to go to work?
Of.
It must be hard for you to take care of the household alone.
It's nothing.
There's something I want to say to Dad.
Speak.
Yesterday I received this strange message.
If you want to know the story about your brother,
please come to Soogu Gate after 10 days in the evening.
Where did you get this?
Last night, I picked it up, it fell in the yard behind the building.
There's definitely someone doing mischief.
Let me find out who did it.
However, just in case,
can i meet him directly?
You are a widow. You can't get involved in this kind of thing.
Forgive me.
However, what if they really give news about my brother?
I beg you, Dad.
Okay.
I understand.
However, you should not act rashly.
Okay.
Chief of Defense.
What's going on, Officer Park Soo Ho?
I request permission to investigate...
- ...Kang Pil Jik case. - What?
What did you say?
Who is Pil Jik?
My goodness.
Gosh, how...
What is the matter Mr. Royal Secretary came here for?
I came to ask for your help.
Help from me?
This is a secret task from the leader above.
Could it be that it was from His Majesty?
That's right.
- Your Majesty... - Please just say it!
If this is his order, I'm ready to do anything!
He told you to investigate Kang Pil Jik.
Who is Pil Jik?
Trust me.
I will find out every suspicious behavior and report it to him.
Sir! I brought all the documents related to Kang Pil Jik.
Please come again.
Thank You.
Hey, you there!
What do you need?
I heard a man named Ju is running a business from Qing here.
Right?
I have business with him. Is he inside?
I don't know him.
- There is no one with that name. - Is that so?
No I said!
I'll go in and check, so get out of my way!
Who are you guys?
Why make a fuss here?
What do you mean, we're just looking for people.
- Go, go! - I heard he's here!
There are no such people! Go!
Go, go!
Kkot Nim.
You can stop now.
Do you have debt?
How much? What is a lot?
This is not the time to act like that!
You have to hide quickly!
Kkot Nim.
Good grief.
What will you do now?
Especially? I've shown the letter to Dad.
I have to pay attention to the situation.
Do you really believe that Mr. Seok is the person who...
...planned all this?
Even if Father is really planning betrayal,
I can't do anything.
If he is executed for his actions,
won't I also be executed?
Why should Madam get involved?
It's already the law in this country,
if children had to pay for the sins of their parents.
However,
If for some reason he takes advantage of me...
...and hurt my brother, that would be a different story.
Madam, you realize that Madam looks scarier...
...compared to Mr. Seok.
Even if I become a ghost that haunts him,
I will definitely find out my father's true intentions.
Yep!
Do you really have to go?
I guess I'll only cause trouble if I stay here any longer.
Kkot Nim.
Take care.
You too.
Do you have a destination?
Wouldn't it be better to talk to the Head Merchant,
and find a way to pay off your debt.
In this world...
...there are more problems that cannot be solved with money.
If so, see you later.
Oh yes.
Until found.
- Until found. - Until found.
Yep!
Goodbye!
Thank You!
CAPITAL DEFENSE OFFICE
UNDER REPAIR, NO ENTRY WITH THE SIGN OF THE HEAD OF CAPITAL DEFENSE IS PROHIBITED
There's more than one or two suspicious things about the Pill,
but the problem is no matter how many times I look at it, it still never ends!
Sir, look at this!
Isn't there something strange?
Isn't this the list of favors from the Minister of Finance's wife that Pil took care of?
What's strange about this?
The amount of rice that the Queen Mother gave last year amounted to 100,000 sacks,
but the actual amount of rice released was less than 10,000 sacks.
What?
So where does the rest go?
Rice has no feet.
Good grief.
I smell something wrong.
Officer Park Soo Ho.
Even from my poor eyes, this is a serious problem.
Do you have a plan?
The plan...
...we have to look for it now.
Good grief.
Should I give up my dream of being promoted and enter the palace?
My goodness.
The person you are looking for has left.
- Go away. - Good.
However, just in case, can I be the one to meet him directly?
Yeo Hwa
You should just live as a member in my family.
Even though so much time had passed, he still had not forgotten his regrets.
Mother
I still hear words like that.
What should I do with this, Jung?
Mother
Jung?
Jung!
Jung.
Mother, forgive me.
Your son has now returned.
Jung...
Are you really my son Jung?
Good grief!
Gosh, it turns out my son is still alive!
Jung.
What...
What happened to you, Jung?
Jung.
The movement has begun.
What business has suddenly brought you here?
I came here because I got an important message from the Elder.
It seems that you have really offended the Elder.
That is true.
Wouldn't it be better if everything was left alone?
Why?
Did he order you to kill me to silence me?
Shouldn't you find a way to survive?
Do you think I would beg for my life...
...to someone lowly like you?
They say it is better to live even if it is filled with dirt.
Maybe it's better to choose to live even in a lowly body.
You don't need to try to understand me.
I don't need your pity.
I say this because I'm worried...
...to you who are my brother too.
How dare you!
You don't deserve to compare me to you!
Dad, are you looking for me?
Come in.
Were you at the temple yesterday?
Of.
However, what is Father looking for me for?
Sit down.
OK, Dad.
Maybe I don't really understand a woman's manners,
but I also know how well you serve this family.
Even the Queen Mother sees you,
as a virtuous woman, deserving the title of holy woman.
This is all thanks to Mom and Dad.
Because of that,
now you have to show your gratitude.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Go immediately!
Maybe you...
...can live your whole life as an obedient dog to Advisor Seok,
but I will live according to my own wishes!
I've made sure that you never think of me as a younger sibling.
That way, my heart became relieved.
Prepare to perform the three-year mourning ritual at my son's grave.
KNIGHT FLOWER
EPILOGUE
Be careful.
What's this?
No one in this family knows.
No one knows?
And now you tell me?
I mean, don't throw stones at other people's houses.
Mrs.
Whal Yu, this seems like his way of apologizing to me.
Why?
Suddenly, he told me to do a three-year mourning ritual.
It doesn't seem to be a coincidence,
if Kang Pil Jik tries to kill the Minister of Finance's wife.
What Mr. Officer and Madam did was a dangerous thing, wasn't it?
Find out who the masked people are right away.
Maybe we can discuss the Queen Mother's dethronement.
For a moment I forgot what kind of person the Left State Councilor was.
I will definitely find evidence that will prove Advisor Seok's crimes.
- Mother. - My son, has returned safely.
Who, Mother said?
My son, Jung.
My wife?
