"Your Majesty..." "Just how...?" "!" "What's going on here?" "How could you be here?" "!" "What happened?" "Did her water break?" "No, there was discharge of blood already" "Just normal discharge?" "No." "A stillborn child and placenta came out" "She had a miscarriage" "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 civilian office" "And it's easy to send her to a provincial office... from the local civilian office, too" "Don't worry" "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!" "(Episode 36)" "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 pulse?" "Was it?" "Actually, I did feel... but I wasn't sure... and I don't even know what could be wrong..." "Physician lady 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 little strange..." "Then are you saying that my diagnosis could be wrong?" "No, it's not that..." "The Queen feels pain at the lower abdomen, huh?" "And her face seems bluish and dark, huh?" "And the shape and the color of her tongue" "Yes, too dark..." "That's right." "It's for the same reason" "If the person suffers great stress after a miscarriage the blood cannot flow freely and it can cause blockage" "And sometimes even gall could be lumped with that" "But with the Queen, that isn't the case" "You may have noticed it already... but her pulse felt like a log floating down a stream" "But if you had checked carefully, you may have noticed... that there are stops to her pulse" "That's not Bu pulse, but Kyu pulse, typical when there is bleeding" "But if you were even more careful you would've felt another type of pulse" "It's Nuyh pulse." "It feels strong when it's going down and there is no change as it pulsates That shows... when the person had a miscarriage or bleeding uterus" "Right" "So is it still strange?" "I'm sorry." "We're just..." "The pulse can be interpreted differently according to... the person taking the pulse... as well as the patient That's why... one must be even more careful, and prudent" "Anyhow, it's good to see the new ones being diligent in such matters" "Don't be afraid to speak to me if you think differently" "I don't always think that my diagnosis is right all the time" "Whew..." "I thought we were going to be scolded" "Why?" "I think there is still something fishy" "Then you should've told her" "She told us to tell her" "But I'm not sure about it myself" "About what?" "What is it?" "Never mind..." "It doesn't make any sense though" "So what do you think?" "The bad blood has remained after the miscarriage and the cold wind seemed to have gotten in through the empty spots at Po flow to clog the blood" "Then are you saying it's a sickness due to extravasated blood?" "Yes, at first it was simply stress-related but it grew worse" "How is her pulse?" "It felt like Kyu pulse but I also found Nuyh pulse" "What did you find out?" "Her lower stomach is stiff so I think Yeul-Yee is right It seems to be extravasation" "Physician lady?" "This type of sickness is common after miscarriage and... because of the shock, she's probably showing many symptoms" "How are we going to treat her?" "I'm thinking of preparing medicines for postpartum symptoms" "Do as you say" "Feel the spots between the vessels" "Go ahead with acupuncture" "Cauterize her with moxa" "Memorize that spot and do the same on the Queen" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "What's wrong?" "Didn't you say it's a known sickness?" "How about the acupuncture?" "Did you do it right?" "Yes, I told her the right spots" "I did it on the right spots" "There was no mistake" "Then what could it be?" "If the prescription was right... it means there's something wrong with the diagnosis" "How come you aren't saying anything?" "Yeul-Yee is the best for diagnosing patients" "Then how could this happen?" "How am I going to tell this to the King?" "Isn't the second Prime Minister also in charge of inquiry to Pharmacy?" "Your grace is immeasurable Your Majesty" "So what have you been doing while the Queen has gotten into that condition?" "Your grace is immeasurable Your Majesty" "Besides, she must not be feeling well after losing a child..." "Take care of it quickly!" "Yes, Your Majesty" "How come the Food Services Manager isn't here?" "The food can't be the problem right now" "But shouldn't we be preparing the table for the King?" "The Pharmacy is in no condition for such thing" "You do it by yourself for now" "Sure" "The King has been worrying about the health of his mother... and now that the Queen..." "I know..." "Head Lady, make sure court ladies don't cause any trouble... and the Highest Lady of the Kitchen should make frequent trips... to the Pharmacy to prepare the table for the King and the Queen" "What are you doing?" "Why?" "I can't look around?" "Do you own this place?" "I don't know why there are so many patients wherever I go..." "Don't have to lie to me like that" "Lie?" "The Queen has gotten sicker while being treated... and the whole pharmacy has been turned upside down!" "What?" "They won't even be looking for you now that they are so busy" "Things like this always happen whenever I'm not here" "I can't leave..." "It'd be better for you to not be here" "Why you little!" "What are you doing?" "I'm just walking around" "What is it?" "The Queen is that sick?" "Who are you anyway?" "I'm specialty chef Gang..." "I'm here to look for the new assistant physician lady, Jang-Geum" "Jang-Geum?" "I was sick some time ago and I asked her for a check-up... but she hasn't come back for many days" "If she's a physician lady... she's probably in no condition to go home right now" "The Pharmacy has turned upside down so how can a mere assistant lady leave the palace?" "Even the Pharmacy head has been staying in the palace for several days" "It's chaos here... continuous trials" "Give me some of those deer horns..." "No way" "What are you looking for?" "I'm checking if such thing has been recorded" "What is it?" "It's not reasonable but I still feel it's strange" "Just what do you think you're doing?" "!" "Who is the physician in charge of the Queen's Palace?" "It's me, sir" "Tell me." "What happened?" "Sir, don't spare my life." "I left my post and this happened" "I'll take care of this." "I'll solve this in honor of my father's name" "It's only proper that we inquire about the responsibility for... the Queen's miscarriage, but you're in a pitiful state like this" "If her recovery is delayed at all, then I'm going to... start an inquiry and severely punish all those who are responsible" "Do you understand?" "Yes" "Professor" "I have something to tell you" "It was different from Yeul-Yee's?" "Yes, but I'm not sure yet..." "Do you know what you're involved in here?" "Yes, that's why Jang-Geum hasn't been able to say anything... because she isn't sure about it either" "And I'm not free from doubts myself..." "OK" "Jang-Geum, did you find it?" "No, not yet" "What now?" "Why?" "I told the professor about it" "How could you tell him?" "We're not sure about it yet" "That's why I told him only" "I'm not sure what it is... but it's clearly not caused by extravasated blood" "I heard it from Physician Shin" "You sure it's different from Yeul-Yee's?" "How could you trust a new assistant?" "The experienced one isn't always right... nor is the new person always wrong when feeling the pulses" "And she shows amazing concentration when feeling pulses" "Then are you saying she's better than Yeul-Yee?" "No, I'm only saying that... an experienced person may depend more on her experience" "She's more vulnerable to jump to a conclusion... and align her feeling of the pulse to that" "Sometimes, it's better not to be so experienced" "You tell us yourself just how it is different from hers" "The Queen's face was dark reddish" "I saw that, too." "It's like that when there's extravasated blood" "And I saw the tongue and it was dark and bluish" "That's what happens too" "Everyone saw that as well" "And the fingernails had bluish color" "What is different anyway?" "Her gum was bleeding so her breath smelled bad" "Her gum was bleeding?" "How come you didn't know about this?" "Her gum was reddish, but..." "And I felt a pregnancy pulse" "San pulse?" "You know how to feel San pulse?" "That's not an easy one to feel" "But I felt..." "So let's go over what you've told us" "Her face and tongue was dark red, fingernails were bluish her gums were bleeding with bad breath" "She also feels stuffy at the chest and you can feel pregnancy pulse" "Yes" "I think a dead child is still in her" "Didn't you clearly say that you saw a stillborn child" "I clearly saw it" "Jang-Geum, didn't you see it, too?" "We're fools to listen to an assistant lady like this" "Sir, the Queen has clearly given birth to a stillborn child" "But Her Majesty..." "It's a twin!" "It must be a twin!" "Yes, I think she had a twin" "That's right, then one came out stillborn and the other is dead in the womb" "Jang-Geum only said what she has learned, saw and heard" "There's nothing to scold her about" "But how dare she talk in that place?" "Does place matter?" "As a physician lady, it should be perfectly normal" "I would've done the same thing" "You don't need to be like that" "It's a relief that you caught something that I wasn't able to" "So are you saying you're going to follow a mere assistant lady's words?" "If it's a twin for sure, then..." "But there's never been a twin in the Royal line" "It's also rare among peasants..." "So what are you going to do?" "Even so, we can't go ahead with mere assistant lady's words" "Even an experienced one like Yeul-Yee can have hard time with this pulse" "And she probably didn't feel it before" "That's why it's harder to believe the assistant lady's words" "I think we'll have to check her again" "With that assistant lady?" "We'll have both Yeul-Yee and Jang-Geum do it" "So we should all be together and judge ourselves" "Since we've never experienced this, we should gather our opinions" "And if there really is a dead fetus then the Queen is in a dire situation" "Go ahead and do that" "There must be no mistakes" "Be careful and concentrate not to miss anything" "First of all, exam her face" "How is she?" "It's reddish" "It's closer to dark red" "See if she's feeling pain in the same spot" "Yes, she is" "Feel her abdomen" "How is it?" "It's cold" "Press lightly on the fingernail and see the color of the blood" "It takes some time for the blood to appear" "Exam her gum, do you see her bleeding?" "I can't see the bleeding, but there's pinkish red color" "Did her nose bleed?" "I haven't seen her do that" "Though I haven't seen it myself inside of her nose is very reddish" "Did she hesitate to drink water even though she's feeling thirsty?" "Yes, she did" "Do you see the dark spots on the tongue?" "Look at it carefully" "I don't see it" "Check her pulse." "Close your eyes and empty your thoughts... and concentrate" "How is her pulse?" "It's a strong and steady pulse" "Are you sure?" "Yes, the pulse is immersive and it's strong" "Isn't this clearly Nuyh pulse?" "If there's a dead fetus then she can't be feeling Nuyh pulse" "Jang-Geum, you check her" "Close your eyes and concentrate" "How is it?" "It's like meat rising while boiling a beef broth" "It's a common pulse" "Though it does feel immersive it doesn't feel strong..." "No, the pulse scatters" "Keep telling us what you're feeling at your fingertip" "When I press little harder I feel cold at the fingertip" "the pulse doesn't converge, the flow isn't clear... and it doesn't seem to be beating strongly" "It's a pregnancy pulse for sure" "Try feeling it once more" "How is it?" "It's still the same" "Sir, if it's a pregnancy pulse, then she's in danger." "We must treat her now" "Sir!" "Yeul-Yee, check her again to see if you can feel San pulse" "How is it?" "I clearly don't feel pregnancy pulse" "What are you going to do?" "LfJang-Geum's diagnosis is right... then the Queen's life is in danger..." "But if she's wrong..." "Yeul-Yee has never been wrong" "And no matter how talented she may be it's very hard to feel pregnancy pulse even for the experienced" "Though I made it hard for her... her seriousness and concentration is far better than others" "Even Yeul-Yee lacks experience but she's better than other ladies" "This is why it's difficult to treat the Royal Family... since I can't check them myself" "So what happened?" "It was a tie, both of them sounded very convincing" "How suffocating..." "Then what are you going to do?" "The physician in charge should decide" "What are you going to do?" "There was no improvement following Yeul-Yee's diagnosis" "Then?" "We'll use Bul-Su-San" "Are you fully aware of the side effects?" "Yes" "If something goes wrong following assistant lady's words..." "You're aware of the responsibilities, right?" "Yes" "I think it'd be right to treat her with Sil-So-San, but since you're in charge we'll have to go with your decision" "Prepare Bul-Su-San" "Sir!" "What are you doing?" "Prepare it quickly" "Yes" "And Yeul-Yee, prepare the acupuncture again" "Sir, that's not the pulse I felt" "Jang-Geum should do that as well" "It's an acupuncture on the Queen" "Who else could do that?" "I'm sorry to say this... but a person unsure of diagnosis can't acupuncture her with confidence?" "I started acupuncture early in my work please allow it, physician lady" "You can drop this if you aren't confident" "I will try" "If something goes wrong I can't guarantee your safety" "I know" "Keeping calm is the important thing in acupuncturing the Queen" "You can't acupuncture her if your mind is shaken... since she's a very high person" "Spot her Hak-Bu meridian" "Spot her Sam-Hong meridian" "How could an assistant lady..." "She's acupuncturing please don't disturb her" "I can't do that..." "There you go..." "Really... how could you be calm in such a situation?" "Even though I can't, I know you can" "Since life itself is calm for you" "Don't worry, it's probably the right treatment" "I thought we would be better off because of Yeun-Seng... but that wasn't it I thought we were adapting well but Jang-Geum appears to give us trouble again!" "I can't live like this!" "Just what did I do in my previous life?" "I know, Madam, I think we'll have to do something about this" "Jang-Geum!" "Why did you do it?" "What did you learn from the last time?" "In the palace, you must shut your mouth, close your ears... and bury your nose in the blanket" "Why did you step out when even physicians were quiet?" "It turned out that way" "It turned out that way?" "That's the scariest thing!" "Don't let that happen!" "Right, you should live so that you aren't too visible" "How can a physician lady act like that?" "She's a troublemaker, too." "Jang-Geum brought someone just like her" "Please help her Majesty the Queen to get well soon" "She must get well so Jang-Geum can live" "Please help her to get well..." "I pray to thee" "If something goes wrong for Jang-Geum then I'll never visit the pantry again" "You heard me, right, Lady Jung?" "Please grant my request, Madam" "How is the Queen?" "No improvement yet" "How about the physicians?" "They are all feeling anxious that the treatment may have been wrong" "If that's the case, it'd be striking two birds with one stone" "Jang-Geum will be kicked out and the Queen..." "Where do you think you are?" "!" "We are by ourselves" "Even so!" "Haven't you learned from Jang-Geum?" "No matter how much you try to get rid of her she always comes back next spring like a coarse grass" "You see... she was wrong" "It's two days now and there's no improvement" "Only the Queen will suffer this way" "How come there is no change?" "!" "No improvement?" "!" "Sir!" "Sir!" "It's been a long time" "How come you're so busy these days?" "My office is outside the palace... so it's been a while since I last visited" "I know you're busy but please take care ofJang-Geum" "What?" "Did something happen to Lady Suh?" "She gave a different diagnosis from a physician lady... and Physician Jung has taken Jang-Geum's diagnosis for treatment" "What?" "I heard that the Queen is sick" "Is this about the Queen perhaps?" "Yes, so everyone is anxiously waiting for the result" "If something happens to..." "Jang-Geum... if something... then we could... we could..." "So what happened?" "There was no improvement from last time so we changed the prescription and I'm sorry to say this, but her breathing became rapid all of sudden" "What?" "!" "I must go see her at once" "Follow me" "Your Highness!" "She's bleeding!" "It's a child!" "It's a stillborn child!" "Bring the hot water!" "Find out what happened" "Yes, Your Majesty" "How is she?" "After she started bleeding she gave birth to a stillborn child" "She must've had a twin" "Is she OK now?" "Yes, the physician said she's OK now" "And she's also calming down from her rapid breathing" "Is she really OK?" "I'm sorry to worry you, Your Majesty but I think she's OK now" "That's good." "Good job" "Your Grace is immeasurable Your Majesty" "Good job" "The King has suffered a lot because of the Queen" "Now he can relax a little..." "It was my fault, please punish me" "Of course..." "But finding that pulse itself was difficult" "No, as a physician lady in charge of checking the Queen's pulse..." "I was arrogant and careless" "Please demote me to the civilian office" "I need more training" "You don't need to, you've already realized... what you did wrong" "No, the Queen's life was in danger because of me" "How could we tolerate a mistake with a physician lady?" "A mistake in medicine begets another mistake" "Please demote me" "Don't torture yourself over this" "He has said himself that it was a hard one" "Take your words back and keep going forward" "Then I'll take up shifts in training until I can forgive myself" "Please allow that" "Sure, go ahead and do that and this isn't only for Yeul-Yee" "You have a heavy responsibility of taking care of the Royal Family" "Be more diligent in training" "But all of you can take a rest today" "You didn't have to do that" "Oh, no, there can be progress only if one knows what she did wrong" "I'm going to learn from Jang-Geum from now on" "Yeul-Yee is too straight and good" "Right... that's why she's always good" "I'm overwhelmed with shame and gratitude" "Tear me down in one stroke?" "Excuse me?" "Good job" "Oh, no..." "You should've told us that earlier" "It's because you've scolded her so much" "If she can't decide on such thing she can't be a physician lady" "I taught her so she's done it at last" "I should get going now..." "You're beautiful" "He's not a bad person" "It's become little more difficult, but I'll try to remove her from here anyhow" "All the vessels flow to the feet... so by spotting the hard and... painful areas you can find out which part of the body is hurting" "Doesn't your upper abdomen hurt?" "Massage when you're alone" "It's blocked off there" "If you don't unclog it then your heart could go bad" "That's why your spleen and stomach aren't well" "Take it easy" "It's strange..." "It's strange..." "No more of that feeling?" "Right... is this OK?" "I anesthetized on purpose so don't worry" "Now, open your mouth wide" "Did it hurt?" "No." "So this is how one feels to have a bad tooth pulled out" "I did hear that Jeju physician lady was good with treating teeth" "So you must be the right person" "If you swish warm salt water in your mouth and... hit the teeth over 100 times then your teeth will grow stronger in five days" "I will do as you say" "So did you establish a good relationship with her?" "How hard could that be for a physician?" "It's easy when people are hurting" "She was at ease with my treatment" "I'm sorry for asking you to do such a thing" "I'll have to get going now" "Sure, go ahead" "Jang-Geum, it's here" "Did you see Sir Min?" "No" "He just left He must've taken a different path" "Really?" "He seemed to be very busy with his work these days" "He should be" "Anyway, when did you get all these set up?" "How hard could it be?" "All you need is myself and a hut" "You're doing OK?" "Yes" "She healed the Queen's sickness..." "Follow me" "Where?" "Where could it be... if she's at a pharmacy, she should see a patient" "But she's been struggling with others' illnesses..." "I hate to let you leave without teaching you something" "From now on, come on your days off and learn from me" "Sure" "Hey..." "She's really torturing her..." "That's the only way to replenish the weapons" "There will be much opposition" "Even so, we can't burden people with more taxes" "We can only put our trust in the King" "He's called for you to increase the national strength" "OK" "Decrease the land for one out of ten officials... and increase the arms with that?" "Yes, Your Majesty" "The weapons of northern invaders and Japanese have been improving daily but ours haven't improved at all since King Sejong" "Right" "So they can think of it as sacrificing only a little for the nation... and only one in ten has to make an offer" "Those lands were given to those who had accomplished much for the nation so I think they will offer it willingly" "What do you think?" "Yes, Your Majesty I fully understand the meaning of this" "Why?" "Are you saying it's difficult?" "No, it's not that..." "I was a little worried about the financial situation but if the officials would do that it'd be like gaining thousand soldiers" "They'll do it willingly" "Yes, I believe so, too" "How dare he hit me from the back?" "!" "He was talking about reconciliation..." "You have the most land this is clearly to harm you" "Other plans could perhaps..." "Gather the officials!" "Thank you, I would've been in a great trouble without you" "Your Majesty, actually, it was the work of the new assistant lady" "Really?" "I did feel that it was someone else when I was being treated" "So, it must be her" "Yes, Your Majesty." "I wasn't sure because I've never diagnosed a twin... but she diagnosed it correctly" "Is that so?" "So I should be thankful to her" "Bring her with you often for check ups" "Yes, Your Majesty" "That physician lady is not a problem at all" "Excuse me?" "They have lifted a sword against us" "What are you saying, Sir?" "To increase the weapons... they asked the King to reduce the officials' land" "Then the King has agreed with them?" "He hasn't given any orders yet but he has shown his will" "We must move quickly" "The King will accept our request but I'm not sure how they'll respond" "Our reasons are clear... it won't be easy for them to rebel against it" "We can't ever know..." "The letters of the scholars should be hitting the court like the rain" "Are they request to reduce the land of the officials?" "No" "Those are letters about how they've been moved by the officials" "Some scholars will offer their own lands as well" "What shall we do?" "Officials are being hesitant to come forward... because of the letters of scholars" "How cunning of them" "I don't think this will do for us" "There's only one place we put our trust in" "Then?" "I'll do it myself" "How is the Queen doing?" "She has almost fully recovered" "We'll stop the medicine after the check-up today and restore her strength with food" "How is the Queen Mother?" "Her illness from age is growing deeper" "Her arthritis and lungs are getting worse" "The King is very worried Do your best" "Did it go well?" "Yes." "It won't happen unless the King takes his words back" "What are you talking about?" "!" "Why would my mother do such thing?" "Why?" "!" "I don't know why..." "I'm going to go to her house immediately." "So prepare" "Yes, your Majesty" "Your Majesty, it's an earnest plea" "I said, I don't want it" "Your Majesty, your illness is growing worse" "If you don't receive treatment, it could get serious" "Your Majesty, the King is here" "Mother, what's wrong?" "Why did you stop the treatment all of sudden?" "You will damage your health, please reconsider" "When did you ever worry about my health?" "Go back" "And I don't want to see you anymore" "What?" "Why do you say that I don't worry about you?" "You worry about me?" "Then how come you don't listen to me at all... since that last event?" "Why did you discharging our relative's physician like Lee Hyun-Woo and assign me a negligent physician?"
