"Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Episode 34" "We're all going to be all right now, Uncle." "Now that the official recognition is here," "The Queen and the South Faction will now be on firm ground!" "This was how it was all meant to be." "Now, let's go." "Welcome, Ambassador!" "We have been eagerly awaiting your arrival!" "Then we should have come earlier." "Please forgive us for coming so late." "Yes, we were on tenterhooks for a while." "But valuable treasures are never easy to attain." "Please come with us." "We have a lavish banquet prepared for you." "Your Majesty!" " Your Majesty!" " Brother!" " Your Majesty!" " Brother!" "Congratulations, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "I just heard the news." "The Crown Prince's recognition has arrived!" "I have just come from the Grand Palace." "His Majesty acknowledged my efforts!" "What did I tell you?" "I knew this would happen!" "I was worried for nothing!" "Look how everything has turned out as we wanted!" "Just wait a while longer." "You will soon reclaim your position." "It is not only me." "You have your greatest asset in your hands." "Now that the Crown Prince's standing is unshakeable, so is yours." "Of course!" "I am now the Mother of this nation's Crown Prince..." "I mean..." "the Mother of the future King!" "You're right, Your Majesty!" " Where is the Minister?" " I'll go see where he is, My Lady." "Yes, go!" "You've come, Your Excellency!" "Your Excellency!" "Did you find out about the Qing Emissary?" "Your Majesty...!" "It is good news." "This was something His Majesty wanted." "But this is more about the Queen, and therefore... about you." "Please think about how to give us strength again!" "If this happens," "It will become more difficult for you to return to the Palace!" "Yes, you're right." "I may never be able to return." "Your Majesty...!" "I don't know what to tell you." "All of you have worked so hard for me." " It is all because I am unworthy." " Your Majesty...!" "How can you say that?" "This is all because of our ineffectiveness!" "Please forgive us, Your Majesty!" " Minister...!" " But we must not give up now." "The West Faction no longer has any power," "But we are gathering our strength." "We will use all of our remaining strength to ensure that you die as the Queen!" "It was our last opportunity to prove Her Majesty's innocence and reveal their guilt!" " My Lady..." " I thought this would be sufficient." "I thought if Lord Shim Woon-Taek came," "We would be able to prove that they even tried to sell the nation's defense for their own benefit!" "I won't..." "I won't give up so easily." "I won't let the truth disappear like this!" "What will you do, My Lady?" "What if we show His Majesty the original copy of the Registration Archive and tell him what happened?" "If we do that, then he will believe Lady Chun." "But what next?" "If this truth is revealed through Lady Chun again," "Then what do you think the South Faction will do?" "Do you think they'll admit their guilt so easily?" "My Lord...!" "We should have revealed that..." "Qing's recognition was not being given because of that Registration Archive." "But that recognition has arrived." "So how can we prove their guilt?" "It will only bring more suffering to Lady Chun." "My Lord!" "You need to come with us!" "You can't do this, My Lady!" "You're pouring oil into the fire and jumping into it!" "Please let me go!" "I need to tell His Majesty the truth!" "My Lady, you need to consider your own safety!" "I traded my safety for the evidence from the Royal Treasury." "And now you want me to consider it again?" " My Lady...!" " Then what about Her Majesty?" "We have lost everything that can bring her back!" "Lady Chun!" "Hand over the book!" "My Lord...!" "What can you do by giving that to His Majesty now?" "Why don't you understand that putting yourself in danger  will only bring more worry to His Majesty?" " My Lord..." " Don't you know why you can't do this?" "You're now no longer responsible only for yourself!" "Many lives depend on the path you take!" "You're not the only one who feels this way." "We won't let this happen so easily." "So won't you trust us and let us share your burden, Lady Chun?" "My Lord...!" "Damn!" "I really don't know how this happened!" "His Lordship was so certain that we would be able to get them this time!" "That is what I was going to say." "What happened?" "Didn't you say you gave them the fake book?" "So why has Qing sent their official recognition?" " What?" " You're so frustrating!" "I mean, you gave them the fake book, so how did this happen?" " Perhaps I made a mistake." " What?" "I do that often." "I can be a bit stupid sometimes." "It's so stuffy here." "I'm going to go get some fresh air." "Go where?" " You're supposed to be careful..." " Don't worry." "I'm not a very important person, so no one will be looking out for me." "Can't you tell?" "That's true." "I wonder if the women have gotten prettier." "But first, I need new clothes." "Where can I get a nice new hat?" "I'm a character myself, but I raise my two hands up at you!" "I don't think either of you would know anyway." "Not know what?" "Hey!" "Did you just insult us?" "That man....!" "He's going to drive me crazy!" "Should we just let him go?" "Let him be." "No one's going to be worried about a man like that." "Whatever!" "I can't believe he used a hat to insult us!" "He's going to drive me crazy!" "Are you certain?" "The Crown Prince's official recognition has arrived?" "How many times do I have to tell you for you to believe me?" "Even His Majesty summoned me to praise my efforts!" "Now we can finally breathe easily!" "Her Majesty has finally gotten what she wanted!" "She deserves it, Mother!" "Don't we need to show our appreciation in some way?" "I have already made preparations." "You did?" "They are important to the Crown Prince's future." "I have made lavish preparations so that they will be completely satisfied, Mother!" " Well done!" "Well done!" " Madam!" "Madam, someone is looking for the Police Superintendent." "Me?" "Bring them in." " My Lord." " What is it?" "The Qing Emissary has asked to see you urgently." "Indeed?" "Looking for me already?" "Hee-Jae!" " Greetings!" " Greetings!" "The Emissary is waiting for you inside." "Lord Jin!" "It's been a long time!" "I don't know how to thank you for taking care of the Crown Prince's recognition!" "Thank me?" "Yes, I'm sure you feel that way." "You insulted me and yet I gave you what you wanted." "Your Excellency, what do you mean?" "Insult you...?" "How dare you insult me and Great Qing with this fake book!" "Lord..." "Lord Jin, what do you mean?" "Fake book...?" "This *Registration Archive you gave me is fake!" "*Secret document regarding border defense" "Are you telling me that you didn't know it was fake?" "Fake?" "That cannot be!" "Now can you see what it is that you gave me?" "Lord Jin, there must have been a misunderstanding!" "I'll find out what happened." "As well you should." "If you really didn't know it was fake, that is." "But you should know this." "The reason I helped you get the official recognition  was to show you that it can be reversed at any time." "What?" "I plan to return to Qing with the original copy." "But if I don't, I will tell your King that you gave me this fake information in exchange for the official recognition." "Lord Jin!" "So I advise you to do as I say if you want to avoid that, do you understand?" "How could this be...?" "How could that Uiju Magistrate let this happen?" " My Lord!" " Go to Uiju and find out what happened!" "Yes, My Lord!" "Look who we have here!" "Aren't you Lord Jang Hee-Jae?" " You...!" " Yes, it's me." "Shim Woon-Taek." " You wretch!" " What an honor it is to see you here!" "How?" "How are you here in the capital?" "I ran away." "I was scared that I would die if I stayed in Uiju." " What?" " You didn't know?" "I thought it was you." "What are you talking about?" "Is something wrong?" "You look tense." "How dare you...!" "Shim Woon-Taek, how dare you leave your exile premises!" " You will pay for that with your life!" " Will you be the one to make me pay?" "What?" "But it won't be so easy this time." "I have some powerful supporters this time." "What?" "Supporters?" "You mean that wench who became Special Court Lady?" "What?" "You mean Impudent Bean?" "How can she even be considered a supporter?" "It's His Majesty!" " What?" " I came back under His Majesty's orders." "What?" "His Majesty...?" "So this man is the one who helped Lady Chun in Uiju?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty..." "Chief Suh, I wish to speak to this man alone." "Leave us." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I heard of what you did." "As a man, I am indebted to you." "Please don't say such things, Your Majesty." "But the reason I summoned you isn't about the debt." "I wish to give you a job." "Your Majesty?" "Sir!" "Sir!" "So it's true!" "Impudent Bean, you're really....!" "Lady Chun, I, Shim Woon-Taek, greet you!" "Sir...!" "What do I do?" "How...?" "Did you summon me, My Lord?" " Tell Her Majesty I need to see her!" " Yes, My Lord." "Your Majesty!" "It was good that you're here." "I wanted your advice on something." "Don't you think we should do something to silence Lord Jin on what we did?" "Oiled leather is softer." "Perhaps we should give him..." "Your Majesty!" "Please forgive me, but this is not the time to discuss such matters." "What do you mean?" "This is not the time...?" "We have a problem." "We've been blindsided, Your Majesty!" "What?" "What did you say?" "You met Jang Hee-Jae before you came here?" " Yes, My Lord." " Sir!" "Why did you do such a reckless thing?" "To show him I was here." "I wanted to know what he would do knowing that I was here." "What he would do?" "I need to know if he knew the book he gave to Qing was fake, ... and that we have the original book." "But fortunately, I don't think he knows that we have it." "And one more thing." "I found out a key piece of information." "Key piece of information?" "It seemed like something had gone wrong." "Jang Hee-Jae's face was dark when he came out of Mohwagwan." "I was disappointed I was the only one to see it!" "I'm certain there's a problem." "But the official recognition has already arrived." "That's why we need to find out what this new problem is." "We need to know why this problem has Jang Hee-Jae so worried." "The reason why Jang Hee-Jae is troubled is our opportunity." "So this isn't over yet." "We still have means to corner them." "Things don't look good, Your Majesty." "Then where is the real Registration Archive?" "We are looking everywhere." "And I promise you we'll find it!" "How... how could this have happened?" "We almost had it!" "You don't think they have it?" "No, that's impossible." "If so, why didn't they reveal it before?" "I sent someone to Pyongyang to find the original." "We will handle this matter." "First, we need to get rid of Shim Woon-Taek..." "No." "That won't fix the problem." "He was summoned by His Majesty." "If you harm him, we can pay the price." " Take care of Lady Chun." " What?" "Take care of her?" "What do you mean?" "The Palace moves according to power and authority." "Lady Chun has to live in the midst of that maelstorm." "Before I summoned you, I read through all the petitions you sent." "They were all insolent, but written intelligently and with passion." "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" "Lend your strength to Lady Chun." "I need a man like you in government to support Lady Chun." "So this isn't over yet." "We still have means to corner them." "This was the end goal of my ambitions." "But Dong Yi, it's you again who is keeping it from me." "No..." "That will never happen." "I will never go down on my knees because of you!" "Lady Cho!" "Yes, Your Majesty?" "Summon the Councilor and the Assistant Director of the Tribunal." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Drink up!" "Isn't the wine amazing?" "The wine is satisfactory, but the food isn't very good." "It isn't?" "Should we go to another gisaeng house then?" "We've been to all the gisaeng houses in the capital already." "It's so warm these days." "I wonder if the breeze from the river would be cool." "Of course!" "Being on a boat in the summer is the best!" " Ho-Yang!" "Reserve a boat for us." " Yes, Father!" "By the way, if we are to curry favor with Lady Chun," "We should get acquainted with her family." "But it doesn't seem like she has any?" "That's because she lost them when she was young!" "I feel so sorry for her!" "How lonely she must have been!" "Really?" "How terrible!" "Is that why she entered the Bureau of Music?" "I don't know anything about that." "You told me that a gisaeng asked you for a favor!" "A gisaeng?" "Which one?" "I bought Dong Yi..." "I mean Her Ladyship, as a government slave at Sungchun." "Bought her as a government slave?" "Really?" "You're really going to injure me one day!" "Drink up." "So they didn't find out anything?" "Yes, what they said was already on record." "She was a slave at a gisaeng house in Sungchun." "But that gisaeng house is gone and there is no way to confirm it!" "Yes, My Lord." "There are no records of her background anywhere!" "How could this be?" "My Lord, someone from the Palace is here." "My Lord!" "So you've found nothing suspicious about her?" "But that's why it's so suspicious." "There is no information on her at all!" "For the past few months," "All the police bureaus and prefecture offices have been ordered  to find all information regarding a slave girl by the name of Dong Yi." " And yet you found nothing?" " Yes, Your Majesty." "There was nothing whatsoever found on Chun Dong Yi." "That means her information was deliberately removed..." "Or that is not her real name." "And the reason for that would great enough to warrant such an action." "Please give us some more time." "We will..." "No." "We have no more time." "Dong Yi and I are already in the midst of battle." "The only thing left is who will draw blood first." "Your Majesty...!" "Are you certain?" "That's what Her Majesty said?" "Yes, Uncle." "She's going to do it tomorrow." "She said that is the only way to reveal Lady Chun's secret." "But that's...!" "Oh my goodness, what's going on?" "Why is the Queen...?" "Lord Shim Woon-Taek has to enter Mohwagwan if he is to assess the situation." "Is there a way?" "Jung-Im and I will find out." " My Lady!" "I have news...!" " What is it?" "I mean, it's not bad news, but..." "How do I describe this?" "What's wrong?" "Are you sure this is Her Majesty's bidding?" "Yes, she has ordered you to commence all preparations to carry out this decree." "What did you say?" "You want to appoint Lady Chun as a Royal Consort?" "That's what I said, Your Majesty." "I gave the decree and it is being carried out." "My Queen...!" "The Queen is appointing me as a Royal Consort?" "Yes, she has already given the decree!" "My Lady!" "Why do you appear so surprised, Your Majesty?" "Isn't this what you wanted as well?" "Did I make an error?" "No, you didn't..." "But I was just surprised that you would do this..." "Then please give me your approval, Your Majesty." "You cherish Lady Chun more than anyone." "And as Queen," "I wish to appoint her as a Royal Consort so that she can be at your side." "My Lady, I can't believe the Queen would do such a thing." "What do you think she is up to?" "I know." "She must have something up her sleeve." "What is happening?" "Why would the Queen appoint me as a Royal Consort?" "Why would she do this?" "My Lady!" "The Queen is here!" "Your Majesty!" "I came because I thought you would have questions." "You must have been more surprised than I expected." "I heard you made a personal request to His Majesty." "May I ask why you have done this?" "Why?" "Do you think I have an ulterior motive?" "I was the first person to acknowledge you even when you were just a slave girl." "Just as it was I who made you a Palace Maiden," "It will also be me who appoints you to be a Royal Consort." "So now that you know how I feel, when your appointment comes," "I hope you will serve His Majesty with all your heart." "By the way," "In order for the appointment to go through, there will be a few formalities." "Formalities?" "It is nothing to be concerned about." "They will merely look into who your parents are and your family's background." "When the Office of Investigations comes to question you, give them all of your support." "Did you say parents and family?" "Yes." "Before you become part of the Royal Family," "Your background before you entered the Palace must be looked into." "Did you say parents and family?" "She's definitely hiding something." "Your Majesty...!" "She has a secret that cannot be revealed." "It is nothing to be concerned about." "They will merely look into who your parents are and your family's background." "When the Office of Investigations comes to question you, give them all of your support." "Could this be...?" "Is this what she wanted?" "She's trying to find out who I am?" "My Lord!" "You're here." "Did you hear the news?" "Is it really true?" "Dong Yi is going to be appointed as a Royal Consort?" " That's right." " But why?" "Why would the Queen do this?" "I was surprised by it too." "She must have a reason." "But I have no idea what they are up to." "The procedures for becoming a Royal Consort, My Lord." "May I know in detail what is done for the procedures?" "Why do you want to know?" "First, they will look into both her parents and trace their lineage." "Why are you asking me this?" "How can this be happening so quickly?" "Dong Yi...!" "Did you hear, Young Dal?" "She's going to be a Royal Consort!" "Our Lady Chun is going to become a Royal Consort!" "That's why you can never predict destiny!" "She used to be a slave girl!" "But now she's Her Highness, the Royal Consort!" "I never thought of using Dong Yi for my own gain," "But I think that'll have to change!" "She's going to be a Royal Consort!" "Don't you think she'll give my family something?" "Of course!" "Truthfully, we had something to do with her getting there!" "I wonder how much more the father and son will bow and scrape to us now." "Do you think they'll call us "Older Brother"?" "Sir!" "There they come!" " Let's go receive our greetings." " Shall we?" " What is it?" " What do you mean what?" "Where shall we go today?" "We're tired of boats now." "Perhaps we should head for the countryside..." "What are these fellows talking about?" "How dare you talk to us!" "Just because we had a few drinks with you?" "Go and do your work!" " Let's go, Father!" " What a pair of fools!" "What's going on?" "Why aren't they bowing and scraping?" "I'm not sure." "Maybe they haven't heard the news yet." "We better teach them a lesson!" "They'll regret it when they find out!" "You mean she's being appointed as a Royal Consort  just so that her background can be checked?" "That's right, Mother!" "They want to find her weakness." "The Queen is a terrifying woman!" " What a devious plan!" " And this is all because of our efforts!" "Your efforts?" "What did you do?" "We found out that those fools from the Bureau of Music didn't know anything." "That's right!" "But what you just said means that you didn't do anything!" "I told you that we found out that they know nothing!" "But isn't that the same thing as you not having done anything?" " You..." " What did you do?" "What are you saying?" " What nonsense are you two up to?" " I shouldn't have married her!" "My Lady!" "Chun Soo!" "I never imagined this would happen to me!" "They are doing this to scare you." "They probably started looking to your background when you entered the Palace." "They were looking for something to use against you." "But they didn't find anything." "Because I removed all records regarding you." " Chun Soo!" " That's why they're doing this." "So that you'll have no choice but to reveal what we've hidden from them." "Yes, this is definitely a trap, she would have no choice but to walk into it." "She would have no choice but to reveal what she's been hiding." "We will have to write an appointment decree for Lady Chun to become a Royal Consort," "So Eun-Geum and Shibi," "You will look at records from the Bureau of Properties for Lady Chun's background." "Yes, Madam Chief." "Don't worry, Dong Yi." "Everything will be fine." "I've been prepared for this." "I knew that your background will come to light once you became a Royal Consort." "Chun Soo..." "I have something prepared, but I didn't expect this to happen so fast." "So will you put your faith in me and wait just a while longer?" "I'll take care of everything for you." "Don't worry, Dong Yi." "I'll take care of you." "Chun Soo..." " Sir!" " Is everything ready?" "The boat to Sungchan is ready." "We have no time to waste." "We must hurry!" "Please come with me." "Make sure that these decrees are taken care of immediately." "Yes, Your Majesty." "What about the banquet tomorrow?" " Proceed as planned." " Yes, Your Majesty." " Here you are." " Yes, Your Majesty." "I went to her residence as you instructed." "And how is Lady Chun?" "You're going to make a hole in the ground with that sigh!" "Why are you sighing like that?" "Your Majesty!" "I enjoy walking like this with you." "Even if we don't talk or do anything." "When you weren't here in the Palace, coming here broke my heart." "I was going to have this pond filled with dirt." "Looking at the water made me think of you." " Your Majesty..." " Have a seat." "You seem to be troubled about something." "It fills me with fear when you look like that." "Dong Yi, is this about this afternoon?" "About the Queen's intention to appoint you as a Royal Consort?" "Your Majesty..." "I..." "The procedures for becoming a Royal Consort, My Lord." "May I know in detail what is done for the procedures?" "Why do you want to know?" "My Lord!" "Your Majesty, did you summon me?" "Welcome." "You want me to look into Lady Chun's background?" "Pardon me for asking, but why?" "I think there is something that she can't tell me." "I didn't want to ask her." "But I feel that I should know." "Your Majesty, you mean...?" "Dong Yi told me that a long time ago  she lost her father and brother to a wrongful death." " Her father and brother?" " That's right." "Since she was born a slave," "Perhaps they tried to run away and were caught." "It's obviously a crime for slaves to run away," "But if that is what happened, I can't blame her." "As long as it wasn't a crime of treason, any crime can be forgiven." "That is why I need to know more." "I need to know if my guess is correct." "Since she said it was a wrongful death," "I want to know if it was at the hands of a nobleman." "How did you know about this, Your Majesty?" "Did Lady Chun say something to you?" "No, it's just a guess, that's all." "Actually, she once went to a cliff  to commemorate the death anniversary of her father and brother." "A cliff?" "Yes, it is a stone cliff on Mt." "Obong." "Are you familiar with it?" "Yes, I know it well." "Dong Yi told me that is where she lost her father." "Did she really say that, Your Majesty?" "Did Lady Chun really say that was the place where she lost her father and brother?" "That's right." "But why do you ask?" " Are you Lord Shim Woon-Taek?" " You must be Lady Jung." "And this pretty lady must be Palace Maiden Jung Im." "What?" "Lady Chun explained everything to me." "Are you certain you will be all right alone?" "Of course." "And the items I requested?" "Here they are." "These clothes and seal will get you into Mohwagwan." "I see." "But what are your plans?" "The Mohwagwan is attended by Lord Jang Hee-Jae's Bureau of Hospitality." "How will you accomplish your task?" " Very secretly." " What?" "What?" "That's your plan?" "Someone else had the same reaction as you." "Tell Lady Chun I said very secretly." "She'll know what that means." " My Lord!" " What happened?" "He said that Pyongyang doesn't have the original either!" "What?" "If what we have here is fake, then the original should be in Pyongyang!" "It can't be...!" "Was Her Majesty right?" "That wench Dong Yi couldn't....!" " Excellency!" " Who are you?" "I am an interpreter from the Bureau of Hospitality." " An interpreter?" " Yes, don't you remember me from Uiju?" "When you met with Lord Jang Hee-Jae, I interpreted for you." " Yes, now I remember!" " Yes." "I'm here with a message from Lord Jang." "Is Lord Jin inside?" "He is." "Please come inside." "Thank you." "My Lord!" "What brings you to the Police Bureau?" "I need to look at some records." "The stone cliff..." "That's where the Sword Fraternity members were killed." "Yes, that was the place." "You said your name was Chun Dong Yi?" " Yes, sir." " Was your surname always Chun?" "Sir...?" "Don't be scared." "I'm just asking to see if you are the one I've been looking for." "I don't know who you are looking for, but it's not me." "I've never seen you before, and my surname is definitely Chun." "They're looking for the Registration Archive?" "Yes, My Lady." "They found out their copy was fake, and are demanding the original from Jang Hee-Jae." "The reason he looked so troubled that day was because of this." "Because he doesn't know where the original is." "Yes, My Lady." "This is it." "This Registration Archive is our last chance." "My Lady, it is I." " What is it?" " The Chief of the Royal Guard is here." "The Chief?" "Please go in, My Lord." " My Lord, I was just about to tell you..." " Will you leave us alone for a while?" " What?" " I need to speak with Lady Chun alone." "Please leave us for a while." "What is it, My Lord?" "Didn't you say you wanted to speak to me?" "My Lord!" "Many years ago, I had a friend." "He was a lowborn, but he was like a teacher to me." "I trusted him like myself." "But by his hand, I lost my father." "This man that I trusted with my own life  was the Chief of an illegal organization formed by lowborns." "They assassinated noblemen." "And for a long time afterwards," "I searched high and low for his daughter." "His daughter, who had the same name as you." " My..." "My Lord...!" " Choi Dong Yi." "Is that who you are?" "Tell me." "Are you the girl I've been looking for?" "Are you that Dong Yi?"
