"Yeul-Yee, Yeul-Yee..." "Did you see her?" "I don't know." "I think I did see her for a moment here" "Did she go to the highest lady?" "Then having a baby while showing symptoms of... high blood pressure is already dangerous?" "Yes." "So she must avoid all types of... kaoliang, oyster, milk, egg fish and anything salty" "Even if she's in good health, it's still dangerous" "But keep serving her kaoliang dish?" "Yes." "Soon she'll have difficulty breathing... and she can even suffer paralysis or spasms" "Then..." "The baby can't live" "So that can happen only with food?" "Yes" "And they're good food for all other pregnant ladies" "Right" "No one can find out about it." "Besides the stroke happens suddenly... so it'll be hard to question me for any responsibility" "You must stop it this time" "She's already a high-ranking lady now and if she gives birth to a prince..." "Then we won't be able to do anything to Jang-Geum" "You must stop it by any means" "You can't serve that to her" "Don't ever serve greasy food to her" "Why?" "She has anemia." "We had hard time getting these from Lady Choi" "I'll tell you the details later so you must not serve them, OK?" "OK" "Where have you been?" "Why?" "Sir Shin has been looking for you" "Really?" "He wants you at Lady Lee's residence immediately" "What is it about?" "I don't know" "He wants you there immediately" "You check her pulse too" "How is she?" "Because of the baby, I can feel her Jok-So pulse beating strongly" "Is that all?" "Though I can't feel it very well because ofJok-So pulse but I can feel the weak Bu-Sak pulse (high blood pressure)" "What type of food was served to her?" "Physician lady has told me that she must eat well so we've been serving her bone soup and because of what she told us we served her shrimps and oysters every day" "But what's this about anyway?" "Does she have a big problem or something?" "No." "We're just here to check her and the baby... so you don't have to worry about anything, Madam" "What was your intention?" "What intention?" "Without some intent how could you serve that food to Lady Lee?" "I... though the pulse may be hard to detect it's something even Shin-Bi found" "Don't try to deny it" "What's going on?" "Did you not know?" "How could Yeul-Yee not tell the difference... between high blood pressure  anemia?" "Yes." "I can tell with my eyes closed There must be something else" "Isn't that right?" "If you really didn't know, you'll be proving to us... that your skill has been a lie" "You really didn't find the pulse?" "Tell him" "You really didn't know?" "I really didn't know" "You really didn't know?" "I'm sorry" "I really didn't find the pulse..." "You didn't know?" "!" "You didn't know..." "Because of your ignorance... you injure a person and would you still say that you didn't know?" "!" "As a person practicing medicine how could you easily say so?" "!" "Since it is high blood pressure... then pregnancy itself becomes a very dangerous thing" "You don't even know that?" "!" "Even though she may have conceived with high blood pressure... she could miscarry the baby without utmost care in food and her health... this is common knowledge for caretakers" "You didn't know that either?" "And serving that food, you can't guarantee the lady's or baby's life" "You didn't know that either?" "You really didn't know?" "!" "So what you told us wasn't idle talk after all" "It wasn't for nothing that you spoke of your need for more training" "Sir, we can't let her stay in the Royal Pharmacy anymore" "Please expel her and let her be trained more at the civilian office" "Sir!" "But if we expel people whenever they make a mistake no one would be left here" "Since she acknowledges her fault we'll reprimand her to menial work so she can have time to reflect on her conduct and help her... to move forward in her training" "But..." "Do that!" "So you've finally..." "Lady Jung and Lady Han didn't forgive those people... who used food to gain power and wealth" "And I won't forgive either" "It's that way with food, and more so with medicine" "If you do this kind of thing again... just one more time... then..." "I will never forgive you" "Tell Lady Choi that I won't be that easily dishonored and expelled... like she has done to Lady Jung and Lady Han" "Although it's good that Jang-Geum is taking care of Lady Lee... why are we preparing this type of food all of sudden?" "I'm not sure." "We're just doing what we're told to do" "So I'm asking why" "I don't know." "She and other physicians have told me to do this so we should just do it" "Good to see you" "What's with the food?" "I heard you've recommended this" "She's pregnant so she should eat well" "This is too much... just what's this?" "She should eat this way" "Why?" "So she had high blood pressure and not anemia?" "!" "Then how about Yeul-Yee?" "Why did she diagnose her that way?" "Yes... you said she's good" "Yes..." "What?" "She was being used by Lady Choi" "What?" "!" "Lady Choi?" "!" "Just what am I hearing?" "Even though she may not like her, how could she?" "!" "She's probably afraid that Lady Lee will gain more of the King's affection" "But still... but how could she..." "Tell the King about this!" "It's useless." "There's no evidence" "It's all over if Lady Choi simply denies it" "If Lady Lee is thought to be jealous then she'll only lose King's affection" "It was that way with the previous queen" "Then what should we do?" "You two should just protect her" "Don't burden the sick person with such news" "Just protect her quietly" "What should we do?" "Madam, you should try your best to give her peace of mind" "Give her chrysanthemum tea often It's good for her headaches" "And give her some pears" "Especially pears from Naju province are excellent for fever, urination and possible swellings" "Is that all we have to do?" "She must not eat anything salty or greasy but a lot of fruit and vegetables" "As well as beans, tofu and fish that aren't too greasy" "OK" "And no matter what happens you must not leave her side" "OK" "And let me know if something's wrong" "OK" "But I still feel uneasy" "Lady Choi knows I'm aware of this so she won't be able to do anything for now" "Madam, I can't delay or endure it anymore" "What brings you here?" "They really did such thing?" "Yes... if we wait any longer, I think people around me will get hurt" "But we must still be careful" "Though Sir Oh's power has weakened they aren't that easy to deal with" "I've been investigating the Right Prime Minister" "I don't think it's that time yet" "It's not going to be easy yet" "It's not going to get easier" "Sometimes, you can create a way" "What are you thinking of doing?" "First of all, we must clarify why the King got ill back then" "Do you think it was caused by misdiagnosis?" "That seems to be very likely" "In order to do that you have to be able to check the King's health" "If it's the Queen you can check her yourself but... only male physicians can check the King's health" "Physician ladies only wait on the King" "And besides, you aren't even in charge of the King's chamber" "There's another way to find out about... the condition back then without checking" "Do you mean royal medical records?" "Yes" "But only eunuchs in charge of keeping King's private records have access" "Even high officials can't go in there" "Physicians can go in there" "But it's only when the King's health becomes critical and only with the permission from the eunuchs" "There must be a way" "We have to find a way" "Though I can't help in big matters" "I should be able to help in small matters" "Look for me if you need help" "I have a small request" "It's about Lady Lee" "Yes, the King has seen her recently by coincidence" "She was like a daughter to Lady Jung" "Really?" "I've heard that the King hasn't visited her since he slept with her last time" "If you could help..." "Oh, no, such things are done only by the will of the King" "But if the chance allows then I will try to help" "Thank you, Sir" "I'm sorry, but I have another request" "Yes... what is it?" "I'd like to see the King's medical records" "What?" "I know a physician lady doesn't have the right... but I heard that those records are managed by the eunuchs" "Please help to clear Lady Han's name" "I can't do that" "Sir!" "That's a private archive of the King's chamber." "It's impossible" "Don't even think about it!" "I said you can't take those!" "What do you mean?" "I only need them for 10 months" "I'll return it later!" "This is 100 times more effective than a written charm" "Really?" "You'll find the stony object in there" "This is the maternity cloth from a mother who gave birth to 15 children" "How would I..." "Put this in your pillow case and you'll give birth to a healthy baby" "Oh, my!" "This is the nose of stone Buddha Touching it brings easy delivery..." "That's why pregnant ladies come to touch it" "It looks awful" "But if you want to give birth to a healthy baby, you have to listen to me" "Lady Min, I think something is strange" "What is it?" "Jang-Geum came to replace Yeul-Yee and the change in food dishes... everything changed after they came to check my pulse" "Is something wrong?" "Oh, no, there's nothing wrong" "It's because that's what Jang-Geum has recommended for you" "So nothing's wrong?" "Of course!" "I keep seeing Lady Choi and Jang-Geum in my dream these days" "How...?" "I can't remember very well, but Jang-Geum seemed to be in a danger" "I'm somewhat anxious..." "It's probably nothing to worry about" "They say you normally dream opposite of what might happen" "What?" "Do you have something to tell me?" "The Queen says her shoulder pains are getting worse every morning" "So I was afraid she might have some other illness" "I'd like to check her private medical records" "You don't need to do that." "Didn't you hear it's caused by her hair piece?" "You just need to massage her" "As her physician lady, I'd like to find out everything about her" "I heard you should know symptoms from her childhood and her family history" "So please let me enter the private records room" "I understand your concern, but you just... can't enter the private records room" "I have to get permission from the head physician and... even the head physician has to get permission... from the appointed Eunuchs to go in there" "What?" "That's what she said?" "!" "She's saying she wants to fight!" "If she was going to forget about it she wouldn't have come back" "It's getting to be more of a headache" "The King's attitude is turning more nebulous and..." "Lady Lee has turned into a high ranking court lady because of the baby" "It's not just about getting rid of Jang-Geum anymore" "We can create more trouble by getting rid of her" "Sir Min's movements are strange" "Why?" "As an administration official there is no need for military personnel" "But the numbers are increasing" "This is clearly a plot to disclose Sir Oh's and my dealings" "There's nothing we can do for now... as he's under the protection of the Left Prime Minister" "We should've taken out the root when we could!" "The root!" "I'm not going to blame you now since it was my fault" "We should've tied up the loose ends... even if it meant we had to lock you in" "But there's still a way" "Though she isn't a court lady... if she's found to be intimate with an official, they both have to be expelled" "It occurs often, and those who are expelled for such reasons... cannot come back into the palace because of reasons of immorality" "What are you going to do?" "Are you still waiting for Min whom you can't own nor forget?" "You decide and you act on it" "You'll have to lead the family once I die anyway" "Think carefully what you must do" "I feel fine when you're massaging but I feel pain again when I'm still" "It's probably because of the hair piece and... you worry about the affairs of court ladies" "The King's Mother had the same things but I think I'm doing worse than her" "Yes, I'm worried about it too" "Your shoulders ache and your neck and even your back feels stiff so I wonder if such things are caused by some other illness" "Could that be possible?" "Yes, Your Majesty" "So I have a request to make" "A request?" "Yes, Your Majesty" "What are you trying to do ignoring your superior Sir Jung?" "!" "How dare you make such request?" "No matter how much you're favored you are only a physician lady" "The private records room is used only when there's an emergency" "How dare you make a request to go in there?" "!" "I understand your concern as a physician lady but even the physician in charge cannot go in there freely" "Besides, you completely ignored the hierarchical pharmacy system" "I'm sorry" "Go back to the Queen to seek her forgiveness... and don't let this happen again" "What are you doing?" "Reply to him" "I cannot do that" "How dare you!" "I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry, Sir Jung" "Please forgive me this once." "Just once" "Jang-Geum, why did you do that?" "You barely earned their trust back because of Lady Lee... but now you've gained their hatred again" "She is blind to everything else because of the Queen's favor" "It's not enough for you to ignore us" "But now even to the physicians?" "I'm sorry..." "I'm truly sorry" "Who are you?" "I'm a physician lady in charge of the Queen" "A physician lady cannot come in!" "Let her come in." "I've received a letter about her from the Queen" "Go inside" "I'm allowing you to enter because of the order of the queen" "However, you can only stay about 4 hours and... you can't take anything out nor can you copy anything from here" "Understand?" "Go inside The Queen's records are on the right" "What are you doing there?" "!" "It's not that side." "The records of the Queen are on the right" "I'm sorry, it's my first time here, so..." "Wait" "Face me" "Stretch your arms" "Raise your arms" "What are you doing?" "OK, you can go now" "What are you doing here?" "It's nothing..." "Did you come to check on me?" "No..." "You're home early today" "What is it?" "What's this?" "It's the King's medical records" "Ho... how?" "!" "What are you doing?" "Get ready to copy it down" "Don't you have to put it back tomorrow?" "Yes, since I have to bring another one tomorrow" "You're crazy..." "This is clearly a flu..." "Interesting!" "How it's repeated periodically" "I can't check his pulse myself So you have to help me" "Since I'm at the palace, please find me a patient with similar symptoms" "I'll try, but..." "You have to find one, please" "OK" "Can you spare some time for me?" "Please have a seat" "What's this about...?" "Please have a seat" "Go ahead and eat" "I wanted to prepare a table for the person who isn't the King" "The heart, being treacherous, grew like a hot coal... whenever I stop myself and remind myself that I'm a court lady" "Because I'm a court lady, because it can't be done, it was more so" "Just know that there was such a pitiful court lady" "Just know that there was such a restless court lady" "In blank dismay, just know that... one of the court ladies tried... to keep you in her heart... who wasn't good enough to..." "Since you don't even give me your heart for once... the hatred grew enough to make me want to end it" "But in trying to end the long agony I stumbled across one thing" "I remembered that I didn't prepare even one meal for you" "Please go ahead and eat" "Lady Choi!" "Lady Choi!" "Where have you been?" "Now do what you will to do" "No, I will bring it to the end" "Are you going to be responsible if this breaks?" "Lift the bottom." "Careful" "Are you busy right now?" "No." "This is my last one" "Let me see you for a moment" "Go ahead and eat" "What's this table about anyway?" "Wait, are you going to say... you don't want my liquor anymore after I'm done eating this?" "Hey, do you see me as that kind of person?" "It's because you've been providing good liquor all this time" "It's a reward to you from me." "Go ahead" "Thank you!" "Go ahead..." "Drink" "Actually, I came to see you about matchmaking" "Matchmaking?" "Who?" "It's Jang-Geum of course" "Jang-Geum...?" "Yes." "It's one of the officials working under me" "Though Jang-Geum is a slave since she's serving the Queen" "As a physician lady she'll be middle class soon" "Yes, that's right" "It doesn't conflict with current laws for marrying between the classes" "And she's that age..." "No, not Jang-Geum..." "Why not?" "Jang-Geum..." "Sir Min Jung-Ho..." "What?" "Who?" "Just don't consider her She's too unreliable" "She's unreliable?" "!" "What do you mean unreliable?" "!" "Then is she reliable?" "Why are you arguing again?" "How could Jang-Geum be...?" "!" "Let go!" "What is it?" "I'm sorry." "His wife came running in all of sudden..." "Sir, don't worry." "I sent a person to that plagued village... so we'll have a witness soon" "Is it true that he came back in there because of her?" "Yes, that is for sure" "Pity... as an adjutant relief administrator..." "Doesn't that mean he became an official of administration... in order to be the high official of pharmacy?" "I clearly saw Sir Oh and Sir Choi in the next room" "Is that true?" "Yes, of course..." "I don't know who the third person was... but those two were clearly in there" "I didn't even know that..." "and I just trusted that Mak-Gae..." "Yes, that's the problem with you" "You don't know what words you should speak, or how long or short" "I'm sorry, Sir" "Don't worry, nothing much will come of it" "This is the last third book" "OK..." "I get so anxious whenever you come in and out" "Don't worry..." "no one has found about this" "The longer the tail, the easier to get stepped on" "Let's hurry" "I did find three to four patients with similar symptoms, but I'm not sure" "It's too simplistic to view it as mere flu..." "It's probably not that easy, else the physician would've found out already" "Let's copy it down first then go through it slowly to find out" "What?" "Really?" "Though Sir Min said not to worry he seems to be worrying himself" "You know that bad people can have easier time blaming you... in a situation like this, right?" "It could harm you, first of all and the future of Sir Min" "So stop this relationship when you can" "I tried to stop you from becoming a court lady back then... and it's same now" "If such thing does happen then you two will surely be ruined and even if you two pledge eternal life you can only be his concubine" "You know about the law concerning classes" "So stop this now" "That's what is good for you" "Just get a good man and live according to your lot" "That's what is good for you" "Do you understand, Jang-Geum?" "How come it's snowing so much?" "What are you talking about?" "The King said his body was aching so Eun-Bi and Shin-Bi massaged him and he was showing flu symptoms" "Is that true?" "Since we couldn't check the pulse we don't know it for sure" "But he's feeling pain in joints and he has lost appetite too" "He did have a temperature as well" "OK, I will go check him myself" "Your Majesty." "Please open your mouth" "How is he?" "His mouth is sore" "Yes... that's why I'm having hard time eating..." "I've lost appetite and my throat feels dry" "It's a flu." "Joints ache and temperature rises" "We'll tell the kitchen to bring up good food and medicine as well" "OK..." "I get this periodically for some reason" "My voice get hoarse as well" "Please do not worry" "Stop the medicine first of all" "Then?" "We should diagnose him again" "Is there something wrong?" "How about you?" "Though he's had stomach problem for a while... getting flu that often" "It's same with me." "His health has deterioriated because of... stomach problems, same with mouth sore" "Could it be sore mouth again?" "Sir, a physician lady is here to escort you" "The head official of the pharmacy is looking for you" "Sure" "What is it?" "Follow me quietly" "What are you doing?" "Nothing" "Since the eunuch isn't coming back soon you should leave now" "Follow me quietly" "Why are you doing this?" "Why did you bring me here?" "You should know better" "I don't know" "You really don't know?" "I really don't know" "How dare you...!" "This is the eunuchs' inspection department" "We strictly guard the personal affairs of the King" "Everything under management involves personal affairs... of the King and the Royal Chamber" "Nothing must go out of here" "Whoever brings anything out can die here without a trace..." "Why did you take out the medical records of the King?" "Speak" "I don't know anything about this..." "You don't know?" "I did go into the records room but never took out the King's records" "Is this true?" "How dare you have contempt for us!" "We found that one of the records was missing... after the head physician was there so we checked him out but it wasn't him" "You were the next person who visited there!" "But... it could be someone else..." "Only you and the head physicians have visited the private records" "Are you still going to deny this?" "Just why did you do this?" "Speak..." "Speak, I said..." "You won't be able to sleep or drink until you disclose the truth" "How is the King's health?" "It looks like flu, but the symptoms are... very similar to that time so I was thinking about it" "Really?" "Let's talk for a moment" "What is it?" "We're investigating Jang-Geum right now" "It'll take few days so please tell others... that she's out on a field work outside the palace" "Investigating?" "Is something wrong?" "It's the eunuch's department" "Jang-Geum must be with eunuchs" "Jang-Geum?" "Yes, he wants me to tell others that Jang-Geum is elsewhere... since she's being investigated there" "Isn't that eunuch official in charge of private records?" "Yes..." "Then he's the Royal Chamber Inspector" "If it's a close investigation then it's related to the King" "Could it be...?" "I need to find out something" "I'm ready" "Mobilize court ladies or guards to find out... why Jang-Geum is being investigated by the Royal Inspectors" "Inspectors in Eunuch Department?" "It'll be difficult to find out" "That's why I'm ordering you to find out!" "Yes, ma'am" "We don't take long time with these things" "And the record books are all back" "When is he coming back?" "He's coming back today He'll come here as soon as he comes in" "I've sent a letter" "We'll settle this after we tell him" "Make sure not to disclose anything" "Wrap this up after taking her out of the palace quietly" "It's you!" "I told you that you can't do this Why didn't you listen to me?" "Sir, it's most important to me" "But there's just no way" "How could you risk your life on this?" "I won't regret it." "I must satisfy the grievances of Lady Han" "I must do it no matter what happens" "This is clearly related to the King's illness" "It's related to his safety" "Sir, please forgive me for once" "Just once, please." "Just once, please" "What is it about?" "I'm not sure if it's related to that" "It's about Jang-Geum" "I went to check the records because of his illness... but I only took a look at it and came out" "I was inspected by eunuch after I came out of there" "Couldn't it be because the King's medical records were missing?" "I think I saw Jang-Geum trying to hide something in her socks" "It's Jang-Geum... she went there to take the King's medical records" "She's trying to uncover what really happened at the time" "This was out of our reach." "Normally the eunuchs take care of it without... anyone's knowledge and they don't take long either" "That means things are taken care of without us lifting a finger" "That's right It means quietly dying out" "No one can know who, when or why" "So do we just watch this happen?" "That's all we can do for now... but if she's freed somehow we must plan accordingly" "Young-Ro and Mak-Gae, you keep watch there" "Yes, ma'am" "And if she's freed by any chance let me know immediately" "Yes, ma'am!" "I heard this happened because of your excessive curiosity." "Is this true?" "Yes, because of my shallow thought" "I'll trust the head eunuch and forgive you this once" "If such thing happens again, you'll have to pay with your life." "Understand?" "Head eunuch!" "Are you going to betray the King?"
