"The Highest Kitchen Lady hasn't arrived yet?" "We sent an urgent message, she'll be here soon" "Where's the Head Lady?" "(Episode 35)" "She isn't here at the moment" "We'll just go ahead and start the meeting" "The Queen is showing signs of possible miscarriage" "What?" "Even though we've been careful?" "I think the lack of appetite has damaged her stamina" "No matter how hard we tried her morning sickness was so bad" "But the womb hasn't opened so it isn't a miscarriage yet" "What should we do?" "Bring the boiled water of tendrils of pumpkin, and cook dates in paper" "As for food, prepare pine nut porridge along with extracts from lotus root" "Yes, sir" "It's already late... do you have any physician lady... who can treat her with acupuncture?" "I'll have to call for Yeul-Yee soon... but first I'll let Eun-Bi and her assistant bring up a medicine" "Then move quickly" "Don't leave your posts, we need to monitor the progress" "Shin-Bi, go to the warehouse and find pharmacist Sun-Dol" "Since Sun-Dol knows where Yeul-Yee physician lady Bi-Sun... and Gae-Geum live tell him to go get them" "Jang-Geum, go to the Royal Reservoir and get water and towels" "Eun-Bi, take the medicine to the Queen." "It should be ready by now" "Get tendrils of pumpkin, pine nuts and lotus roots from the storage" "The Highest Kitchen Lady hasn't arrived yet?" "I sent a message that it's urgent She'll be here soon" "Please lie down" "Does your stomach hurt?" "It doesn't hurt that much yet..." "Does it feel stiff then?" "Yes, it just started to feel little stiff..." "Blood!" "Oh, no!" "What shall we do?" "!" "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "I think we'll have to get Sir Jung here" "Is anyone outside?" "The physician will be here" "Hurry and hang a bamboo blind!" "What's wrong?" "What is it?" "Your Majesty, please calm down" "You must remain strong" "How... could..." "I?" "Breathe deeply..." "How could..." "I breathe?" "Your Majesty, we don't know yet" "So you must breathe deeply" "Then you'll have some chance so listen to me and breathe" "That's right..." "Your Majesty..." "The Head Lady is here" "Breathe out slowly... once more..." "Your Majesty..." "Just how...?" "!" "What's going on here?" "How could you be here?" "!" "How could you...?" "!" "She must rest calmly..." "How...?" "!" "?" "!" "Please lower your voice" "What happened to her?" "She has signs of a possible miscarriage" "Did she bleed?" "Yes" "How did you get here?" "!" "?" "!" "Madam, please support her and help her to breathe" "Try to help her exhale long and slowly" "Hurry..." "Your Majesty, breathe out slowly and hold it for a long time..." "What happened?" "Did her water break?" "No, there was discharge of blood already" "Is it simple discharge?" "No." "A stillborn child and placenta came out" "She had a miscarriage" "Your Majesty, don't lose heart" "You can conceive again" "Please take excellent care of her health" "You, too" "So she had a miscarriage?" "Isn't that good news?" "So what happened?" "I'm sorry to report this, but she had a miscarriage" "How could this be...?" "The Queen is probably heart-broken over this so please comfort her" "OK" "Sir, what happened?" "She looked fine when we left the palace" "I'm sorry" "It's not your fault" "It normally happens unexpectedly" "But... to have another child... health must be her highest priority" "Everyone be mindful of this" "Are you the new assistants?" "It must've been confusing for you but you did well" "Here you go..." "You were surprised, weren't you?" "You rest here, I'll bring up the medicine" "Would you do that for me?" "The Head Lady is here" "Breathe out slowly... once more..." "Your Majesty... just how...?" "!" "What's going on here?" "How could you be here?" "!" "The head lady... the head lady..." "Lady Suh!" "Hong..." "How did you...?" "It's been a long time..." "The Highest Lady has called for Jang-Geum... so I thought there was someone else with the same name" "The Highest Lady...?" "You mean Keum-Young?" "Yes" "She's called for me?" "Yes" "What happened?" "How did you get back here?" "Are you going to serve those ugly shapes to the King?" "Putting appearances aside, you can't expect them to be seasoned well" "Are you..." "Jang-Geum?" "Are you Jang-Geum?" "I am sorry..." "That is right" "How...?" "How...?" "It's late, I know, but congratulations" "You must've become the Highest Lady" "So are you happy now?" "You should be" "Since you've thrown away such a great thing to hold that position" "You... you can't stay here" "You should be in Jeju How did you get back here?" "How have you been?" "Do you think you'll be safe back here?" "The Queen is not doing well I must get going now" "How dare you block my path?" "!" "Hello" "Ja..." "Jang-Geum..." "Madam!" "Jang..." "Jang-Geum...!" "It's Jang-Geum!" "It's her for real!" "What should I say when I meet them again?" "I thought of that over a thousand times... but Madam, it was useless I couldn't say or think anything..." "I don't even remember what I said" "They're a tough crowd" "I made her drink poison and she sent in her daughter... and I cast her out as a slave but she came back again" "Just what must we do about this unfortunate affinity?" "Just what?" "We shouldn't have been associated with them in the first place" "Yeun-Seng?" "She was a lady in the kitchen?" "Yes" "Well..." "I don't know her" "How about court lady named Min Gyu-Yeul?" "Min Gyu-Yeul?" "Oh, you mean Lady Min?" "She's an attendant lady now" "After being a kitchen lady?" "Yes, I heard she became an attendant lady in the King's palace" "An attendant lady in the King's palace?" "Excuse me" "What is it?" "Would you happen to know an attendant lady named Min Gyu-Yeul?" "Min Gyu-Yeul?" "You mean Lady Min?" "Didn't you see her at the Royal Cistern?" "Royal Cistern?" "There's nothing wrong with feces" "Here... you do it" "Why do you make me clean the toilet everyday?" "Stop talking back to me!" "I'll get the medicines to make his bathing water, so clean it!" "Madam... are you sure we can't go back to the kitchen again?" "When are you going to stop asking me that question?" "!" "I'm sad too" "Chang..." "Chang..." "What?" "Jang-Geum!" "It's you, isn't it?" "!" "Madam" "Jang-Geum!" "Jang-Geum, it's you, right?" "Chang-Yee..." "Jang-Geum..." "What happened to you?" "Why are you wearing this?" "I wanted to see you..." "That's why I became a physician lady" "I wanted to return to the palace" "Yes, Jang-Geum..." "I really missed you, too!" "Me, too!" "Me, too!" "How about Yeun-Seng?" "How about Yeun-Seng?" "Soon after that happened to Lady Han... the Head Lady was expelled for holding private parties" "From what I heard, those parties were paid for by Lady Choi but she drove her out of the palace" "And in a rush, Lady Choi became the Head Lady and..." "Keum-Young became the Highest Lady of the Kitchen" "I don't know how it could happen that way" "So they sure wouldn't want anyone older than..." "Keum-Young to stay in the kitchen" "Although we were already out of kitchen then..." "We were moved around to various houses and one day we were told that we would go to the King's palace" "But we've become ladies responsible for King's bath water and toilet" "We're only attendants in name" "We've never seen his face... only his back..." "Anyway, it's Lady Choi's world now" "But how did Yeun-Seng...?" "She became that while playing with the King's dog... but the King hasn't asked for her again" "You know about those ladies in similar situation, right?" "It's probably because of Lady Choi..." "Anyway, we're in a sad situation, too" "People who don't know her think she's being devoted to the spirits... so she can have the King in her room again, but that's not it" "She's praying for your safety so she can meet you again" "That's right" "Yeun-Seng..." "Yeun-Seng..." "Jang-Geum!" "Yeun-Seng..." "Jang-Geum..." "Jang-Geum..." "A guest is here" "Bring something to eat" "There are many guests at Lady Hee-Bin's quarters." "We're very busy..." "We only need light snacks..." "OK... we'll prepare it once we're done with Lady Hee-Bin's place, please wait" "She idles her time away everyday..." "Can't she prepare it herself?" "It's alright... so what if we don't have any snacks?" "But still..." "Then you've become a physician lady?" "It must be hard for you, even court ladies look down on physician ladies" "It must be hard for a lady to endure" "But..." "I can see you again like this..." "Yeah..." "I'm sorry, Jang-Geum" "I'm really sorry" "About what?" "Why?" "The King would ask for me more if I had been more lady alike... so I could tell him of your innocence" "I'm sorry, Jang-Geum but it was too scary..." "I was so scared" "Don't say that." "I'm grateful that you're here to welcome me like this" "Oh, no, if I had known that you were going to come back like this..." "I should've learned from the dancers how to please the King more" "Yeun-Seng..." "But Lady Choi is still alive... and Keum-Young is still alive and well" "It was strange from the start... that Hong ate the abalone stew that Young-Ro gave her" "I'm sorry Jang-Geum" "I could've been more helpful to you" "How come I'm not good at anything?" "Don't do that, Yeun-Seng..." "You must be careful, Jang-Geum" "Be careful, Jang-Geum!" "Isn't she guilty of treason?" "You can use that against her" "I'm worrying because that's not the way to go at the court right now" "What do you mean?" "We did that to Jang-Geum so we could get rid of Sir Jo..." "Though it was convenient at the time... we could become the victims" "Then are you saying the King had a change of mind?" "Is that from the officials too?" "No, this is from the scholars from Sung-Gyun College" "This is nonsense!" "Even though they give reasons of national security... they're only trying to restore power to those related to purging of 1519" "Yes, although they weren't condemned... they are clearly the supporters of Sir Jo" "We must stop this by any means" "Yes, the officials as well as the senior officials are making appeals... so you, as the highest official can do something about it now" "Sure" "Sir, you must receive a permission from the King" "OK" "The Sung-Gyun College scholars are making the appeal and the list... is made up of only those qualified to work for the national security" "We clearly have a good reason here" "It'll depend on the King's will..." "I'm not sure if he will be able to hold back the court's opinions" "Your Majesty, though they weren't directly involved they were still involved with the purging of 1519" "Your Majesty, if we put aside all those who you haven't punished... as related to Sir Jo, then there's no one useful besides those in position" "Then can't we pick from the ones in position?" "Sir, isn't the outcry growing because... those people look down on the military officers?" "Do you know how many times Japan has been... trying to invade in the southern provinces?" "Even though provincial officials have requested for more support from the court, their requests have been falling on deaf ears" "Sir, we must put those who are very much interested in national defense... and have the wisdom to do so in the court" "Your Majesty, the list is made up of people that I've carefully selected please give permission to elect them" "Your Majesty..." "I understand you." "And I understand that your will is same as mine" "I give you the permission" "Your Majesty, but they were involved with Sir Jo..." "Until when should I keep myself from appointing good men... because of Sir Jo's legacy?" "Put it behind you as a thing of the past" "Besides, we aren't even clearing the charge of those condemned" "What happened?" "He did it..." "He has given us the permission" "They may not let us go ahead with it easily..." "They'll have to for now..." "What did he mean when he said" ""Until when should I keep myself from appointing good men... because of Sir Jo's legacy?"" "That means he'll remove... any past influence from Sir Jo, right?" "We must plan..." "I'd like you to come to my home after work today" "Mr. Gang will be there, too" "Is something wrong?" "You, myself or others could become targets of Sir Choi or Sir Oh" "I was surprised to see Lady Choi as the Head Lady... and Keum-Young as the Highest Lady" "Did you meet them already?" "Yes" "We must hurry then" "Sit down" "Are they assistant physician ladies?" "Yes, they're the new ones" "Shin, you probably know him already" "He came in from the training school" "Have a seat" "The King is very much worried about his Mother's deteriorating health" "Lady Bi-Sun, make a report to him about the progress of her health" "I heard that the Queen isn't improving at all." "What's that about?" "According to Yeul-Yee the Queen seems to have... great stress after the miscarriage" "Probably so, but it could also be from extravasated blood, so check her often" "The King has been worrying about his mother's health and now that... the Queen has had a miscarriage he is even more worried" "Keep these things in mind as you progress in your duties" "What brings you here?" "My brother wants to see you at the dancer's bar" "Sure" "Sir, what are you going to do with these?" "I have some use for them" "Where would you...?" "Hello" "Let's go" "Where...?" "I need your help." "Both of you" "Huh?" "Did the second prime minister say he's with you?" "Of course." "He's someone who would wake up instantly... on the mention of Sir Jo Jung-Ahm" "How about the first prime minister?" "He wouldn't come forward in things like this but he will speak in one word if the second highest official and I agree" "Then there will be no problem" "Sir!" "It's Mak-Ke." "Can I come in?" "What is it?" "Come in" "A servant came from your house" "From my house?" "Yes... the second to Prime Minister wants you at his home" "The second to Prime Minister?" "He wants to invite you to a meal" "A meal?" "Yes, but Sir Park's servant and Sir Choi's house manager are here" "Why?" "They're here for the same reason" "You were here, too, sir?" "I'm sorry, but I have to hurry somewhere" "What is it?" "It's nothing" "I have to tell you something quickly but not right now" "What is it?" "I'll meet you again soon" "Stay here and enjoy" "OK" "Thank you for the food" "I'm not sure if you liked them" "I told them to prepare tasty and healthy food" "I did eat them well but I'm not sure of the meaning so I really didn't know how it tasted" "You and I have debated in loud voices before the King..." "Why don't you speak your mind now?" "There's nothing I'm hiding here" "As you already know Min Jung-Ho and I have been promoted here... because we've won over the invaders" "I'm only asking you to help us to focus more on our national strength" "It'll be beneficial to you as well" "It'll be beneficial to me?" "Yes, sir" "What if I disagree?" "What would you do?" "Actually, I do not agree" "Then are you thinking of fighting us?" "I'm still thinking about it" "Then let me help you with your thought" "Min..." "Yes..." "Do you know what you just ate?" "They are brimstone ducks" "But nothing will happen to you in days to come" "I'm sure you already know this" "And I also believe that the guard who died at Mok-Myuk mountain... during the uproar of news of conspiracy" "So the problem was the condition of the King at the time... he didn't trust Sir Jo Jung-Ahm" "But when I saw the King today he seemed to be changing" "And if you're going to fight us then we're going to fight to death" "We aren't going to be totally victimized like the last time" "You may be able to win... but you'll have to put up with much loss" "That's why I invited you here" "What is it?" "I followed you because I have something to tell you" "If you try to get Lady Suh out with the charge of treason..." "I will consider it as the start of a fight" "Don't forget that" "He really said that to you?" "Even Sir Oh said it's not time for a fight... since you don't fight when there's only half the chance of winning" "Do you see this?" "This is what we get for sparing Min Jung-Ho's life" "It's been a long time..." "Yes, it's been a long time since I last saw you" "Did you hear it from your uncle?" "Yes, I did hear" "I'm sorry to say such words to you before I had a chance to... congratulate you on becoming the Highest Kitchen Lady" "I, too, don't want to be doing this" "I wish I wouldn't be doing this to you, Lady Choi" "I followed your directions and my skin did become prettier" "Yes, that's right" "Those things are in the medicine books" "Really?" "The medicine books have such things?" "Then, how come previous ladies didn't tell us about those?" "It's done now" "Massage my feet, too" "You don't want to do it?" "I don't know why you're back... but I'm a court lady and you're a physician lady" "You must do as I say" "All the vessels concentrate at the feet so you can find out which part... of the body is suffering by examining the hard or painful spots of the feet" "Doesn't the upper part of your stomach hurt?" "Massage it when you're alone" "The energy is blocked off there" "You need to relax it, or your heart will suffer" "That's why your stomach and spleen are bad" "You must take it easy" "She did look familiar" "So it's her?" "Yes, that's right" "Then how did she get to the Royal Pharmacy?" "She must've trained herself to be the physician lady" "And she passed the physician exam" "But given the court situation it's not a good idea to bring up the past treason issue" "And it won't do us any good either" "Don't worry" "I'm the Royal Physician and Jang-Geum is only an assistant" "Why should we worry?" "It's very easy to send an assistant to a civilian office" "And it's easy to send her to a provincial office... from the local civilian office, too" "Don't worry" "Is Jo late again today?" "You haven't seen him?" "How is the Queen doing?" "She isn't doing well" "She's still feeling sick and she's very down" "Are you diagnosing her well?" "How is the King's Mother doing?" "Her arthritis is getting worse" "That's a problem, and her symptoms are hard to determine because of her age" "Check her often" "Did you assign a teacher to the assistant ladies?" "I haven't been able to assign anyone yet" "Then let Jo do it" "But Jo is..." "He needs some work, too" "But, sir..." "How dare you talk back?" "!" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry." "I was going to be on time but I met a sick person on the way... and as a physician I couldn't just pass by..." "Is that true?" "Yes!" "Here, take a look at my acupuncture box..." "I think it was switched with someone else's" "Start teaching the assistant physician ladies starting today" "Excuse me?" "Teach the assistant physician ladies" "Yes!" "No problem" "Being a physician is a lonely job" "You have to treat the person by yourself and take the responsibility by yourself" "But you don't need to be like that" "Why?" "It's because I'm here" "First of all... tell me about the illnesses found among the court ladies" "I checked the court lady of the sewing house..." "She had a fever and her cheek, lips, and gums were swollen" "Was her stomach swollen too?" "No, her stomach wasn't swollen" "Yang, the weakness of energy, is on the face" "Use Dong-Mek medicine" "But weakness of chi is caused by the weakness of the lower stomach" "She didn't seem that way, though" "What do you consider a physician's words to be?" "!" "Are you not hearing me?" "No, it's not that..." "I'll give you the ingredients so do as I say" "Sure" "And you?" "I checked the decoration lady" "Her back is hurting and she said her legs feel stiff" "I think the cold wind has damaged her kidneys" "Backache?" "I think she needs some acupuncture" "I'll tell you the places, so do as I say" "Sun-Dol!" "What is it?" "Take your shirt off and lie down" "Look at me carefully" "That's not the..." "Do you really have to put all those in?" "This is "rice planting" method" "I learned this in China when I was studying there" "Make sure you follow what you see" "Since Jo has taken over they'll be kicked out soon" "Yes, I know." "I don't know why he assigned him to them" "I thought we had good girls this time..." "I think he may have been reported for not giving Jo any work" "For him, being idle is helping us" "Don't worry, tell assistant ladies to come to the Queen's palace" "Sure" "Check her pulse" "It's saup pulse" "Are you sure?" "Yes" "Check by asking her questions" "Does your chest feel stuffy?" "Yes, it's more than stuffy..." "Please stick your tongue out for a moment" "It's dark and the face is bluish" "Your Majesty, the illness is in full bloom" "Just try to put this behind you" "Please take it easy" "I'm trying, but because of my body I can't be at ease" "A physician can't do anything about the illness of the heart... please be strong at heart" "OK" "Yeul-Yee, I need to talk with you... and the assistant ladies can assist the Queen" "As you attend her you will check her pulse... and exam her face as a hands-on practice" "Your Majesty, doesn't your stomach feel stuffy as well?" "Yes, I think it is..." "Your Majesty, trying exhaling once..." "There are no other symptoms?" "No" "Then how come the prescription isn't working?" "Despite her stress symptoms... her blood hasn't unclogged" "I think even extravasated blood has been caused by the stress" "Does it mean we have to give her stronger medicine?" "She's already so weak..." "Where are the assistant ladies?" "How could they treat someone like that and disappear?" "!" "How could use Dong-Mek medicine when you should've used Seung-Ma!" "I clearly told them to use Seung-Ma medicine..." "Then assistant ladies didn't even listen to the physician?" "!" "Sir, it's not that..." "How dare you talk back?" "!" "Shin-Bi!" "What is it?" "Madam said she had a backache... and a physician lady has given her needles" "She says she can't use her back now" "I clearly showed you the places!" "You two must've not been trained well!" "Prepare to go to the civilian offices!" "I clearly showed them the meridians, did I teach them wrong?" "That's strange..." "Oh, it's time for the meeting." "Bye" "What is it?" "Big problem" "The Queen is unconscious" "What?" "!" "Why?" "The diagnosis and prescription are right!" "It must either be a wrong diagnosis or a wrong prescription" "My diagnosis has never been wrong" "Then the prescription wasn't wrong either" "Anyway, we can't continue with that treatment" "Search the medicine book and find something" "Hurry" "I told the civilian office to send new assistant ladies" "Sir!" "What now, Jang-Geum?" "We'll be going to the civilian office because of that Sir Jo" "Shin-Bi..." "What?" "Wasn't it a little strange when you checked the Queen's pulses?" "Was it?" "Actually, I did feel..." "But I wasn't sure, and I don't even know what could be wrong..." "Yeul-Yee's diagnosis and the Queen's symptoms didn't match up so I've been little worried" "But physician lady Yeul-Yee seemed to be the best physician lady" "And the physicians trust her, too" "I know that, too but it's a little strange..." "Then are you saying that my diagnosis could be wrong?" "No, it's not that..."
