[ Episode 21 ]
Plague-like letters,
did you say, Jeong Gi Joon?
It's the court maidens.
The court maidens are running the secret mission.
That's right.
Like the plague,
they will spread.
By secret mission, you mean?
Can't be... those court maidens took the Haerye out?
In order to evade our sights, they must have.
They will print the Haerye and spread to all precincts.
We must block them.
We must find it.
God of high mountain and God of low mountain, all you deities of everywhere.
I serve you deities of all high and low and wide.
Geu, neu, deu, reu, meu, beu, seu, zeu, cheu, keu, teu, peu, heu.
A-ya, eo-yeo, o-yo, u-yu, eu-ee!
And that's when we give them these amulets with the incantation.
And they are to memorize this incantation every morning and night for a hundred days.
Then their wishes will come true.
Geu, neu, deu, reu-meu-beu... seu-yizeu, cheukeu, teupeu?
What the?
They can really know writing if they just memorize this?
Not just memorizing like that.
You have to substitute the vowels on the side.
Now, once as "geu-neu-deu-reu".
Once as "ga-na-da-ra". Next, "gya-nya-dya-rya".
Go, no, do, ro, gyeo, nyeo, dyeo, ryeo, gyo, nyo, dyo, ryo, gu, nu, du, ru.
Like that?
You're good!
Why, you!
But you can know all words just like that, for real?
Yes.
And we tell them to write their names on these and bury them in the ground.
This is astonishing.
And the talisman paper to write the incantation?
I've put in the order, of course.
You can go get them tomorrow.
Actually I'm supposed to meet Chae Yoon there tomorrow anyway.
Tomorrow.
It suits you nicely.

I've gathered all the ingredients needed for making taffy.
You did?
I'll go and prepare.
What are you going to do now?
For just in case, Mokya and her have written a different method than us.
Mokya's side will use incantations. And our side, to the singing beggars and the children,
we plan to spread with songs.
And after that?
After we do that, in about two days, by Dansan tree,
we'll teach them the ways to use and write them.
Learning letters through songs makes it a whole lot easier, you see.
But will that really make them spread fast?
They need to spread to a lot of people in a short time.
Do you have a better method, Orabeoni?
How about doing it like this?
The place the court maidens got off...
is here. Yiponaru.[ one of four major ports ]
They were supposed to be sent as government slaves to Choongcheon precinct.
But they got off at Yipo dock?
Yipo dock would mean...
Yipo dock?
There are two temples where they made woodblock prints during previous Goryeo dynasty.
Yes, Hadam Temple and Seonji Temple.
Search through there first.
And also, if they are to print, they will need paper.
Search thoroughly all paper mills and shops nearby.
And find them.
Yes, Sir.
With the court maidens' pulling out from the palace secretly,
would Minister Jo Mal Saeng have collaborated?
If Jo Mal Saeng used torture,
the tattoos left on them wouldn't be light.
However, if that's not the case, then Jo Mal Saeng would have collaborated as well.
What's more important,
his son died,
but Lee Do did not waver.
Whatsoever?
Is that it?
Is that the case?
But that's threatening.
Well, not threatening.
It's a type of... well... the psychology of humans.
Manipulate it a little, I mean.
If that's not threatening, then what is it? Not that.
But isn't our mission to spread it wide and fast?Well I think of it as our mission.
You must feel pressed and impatient.
Why?
Because of what His Majesty promised that day?
Well.. no... alright, I won't deny it anymore.
Am I laughable because it's too grim?
Not because it's grim this time.
Just...
"Gosh, darn it! Whatever, it's bothersome.
You give me a headache so go stuff yourselves!"
How do you penetrate my insight so accurately?
Therefore, Chae Yoon,
in order to set these letters into the world,
I need your permission.
By permission...
Jeong Gi Joon, putting his life on the line,
he will block these letters is what he swore.
Yes, he has said so.
Hence, in order to put these letters into the world,
I need two methods.
Promulgation. And..
Circulation.
Promulgation and circulation?
Even if a national promulgation can't happen,
the seeds of these letters must be spread among the citizenry.
However still, even if the seeds are spread,
unless the Jeongeum Bureau prints out the books and they are incorporated into the civil exam,
these seeds will dry up.
Hence, that is the reason why the promulgation is a definite necessity as well.
If by chance, one of these two fail to succeed,
it's possible that these letters won't be used then.
Yes.
However,
what permission from me do you need for that?
The promulgation, I will handle it, but the circulation,
will need to be in So Yi's charge.
It is a dangerous task, so you must protect her.
And the day that mission is complete,
you are to leave with So Yi.
Until then, So Yi,
can you let her remain as my person?
Yes.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
I also have something I need your promise for.
If by chance, your humble person,
in carrying out the mission,
falls into danger and dies,
neither Your Majesty,
nor Orabeoni,
wasting time to find me,
it cannot be.
That is something,
that applies to me as well.
Even if I end up dead,
you two must complete your mission to its end.
No one's death,
can be allowed to block our path.
Your Majesty.
"How can I promulgate it?"... is that what you're worrying about?
So you've come into my head altogether now.
Your Majesty.
Seungrok Grand Minister and Chief Scholar official are entering.
Subtitles brought to you by the Deep Rooted Friends @ viki.com
Did you call for my attendance?
Minister Jo.
Yes.
Do you by chance know the content of the Milbon pledge?
After Kang Chae Yoon surrendered the Milbon pledge,
Milbon activities within the court has become more vigorous.
Based on that, it seems it could be that which was created on the day Milbon was created,
a roster of allegiance signatures, wouldn't it be?
Then the first generation of Milbon members
were united not long ago, right?
Why do you speak of it?
We must promulgate.
Then... what procedure do we need?
We'll need to install Eonmooncheong (bureau to publish books in Korean alphabet )
and we need support from the State Council to include the Korean alphabet in the civil exams.
It's precisely so.
In speaking of the support of the State Council, we're not talking about the personal opinions of the three.
Since they are seated in positions of having to elicite the opinions of the royal court members.
Yes, that is why I myself, along with Park Paeng Nyeon and Seong Sam Moon are working to convince them.
Of course that should be done.
However, the problem is Milbon.
Of course.
Your Majesty's deal you wanted to make coming to a halt was also,
due to Milbon, was it not?
It's exactly that.
Must we necessarily conclude that halting was the intention of all Milbon members?
Jeong Gi Joon and Milbon members might stand differently.
And since Jeong Gi Joon saidthe letters are plague-like,
he must not have shown them to the Milbon members.
Furtheremore, it is difficult to say that Gwangpyeong's death was consented by all Milbon members.
In that case, to block these letters they don't even see, that are not the likes of a genuine parliament,
with the death of the Grand Prince as well, they must feel startled.
Milbon must be in division.
Those who know the identity of the letters.
And those who don't.
And the Milbon pledge.
Yes~!
I must devise a plan rising on that potential crack.
How do you mean?
What have you been listening to? I said to do that.
Moo Hyul.
Did you not understand me either?
No, I understood.
Doing that should be good.
Alright.
Then... do that.
Did you understand?
Yes, the gist.
But is His Majesty always like this?
Yes, at times.
What?
The ones who were entrusted with the secret mission and pulled out from the palace, the court maidens?
Yes, so the Jeongmoon army was given the order to find the court maidens who were transferred yesterday.
Then... the King had minister Jo Mal Saeng collaborate with him in order to pull the court maidens out?
The King tricked us?
It seems to the be case.
Not even faltering at Grand Prince Gwangpyeong's death?
He intends to promulgate the letters?
Bonwon was taken by him.
Yes, there are fears that Bonwon might waver instead.
He isn't someone who would.
I'm just...
since there is talk of that nature.
Even the Milbon veterans, upon hearing Bonwon's killing of Gwangpyeong, have begun to garner other thoughts.
People like you and I, who play a part in Milbon,
must think of the after.
Where are you headed?
I was given the order to search through all temples and shops that could be used for making prints.
Alright.
If you find the court maidens, report to me right away.
Yes, I will.
Bonwon's slaughtering of Grand Prince Gwangpyeong is not an understandable deed.
That is the cause of His Majesty's huge change.
He could actually become more extreme than the former King, if things pan out badly.
I also hold that thought.
If we happen to make the wrong judgement here,
we might be ostracized by all Confucian scholars and Sungkyunkwan students.
Ostracized?
The young scholars coming out of Sungkyunkwan are loyal to Bonwon's leadership.
It is true that Bonwon has nurtured many members we ourselves do not know.
And their allegiance is not like any.
The one who has grasp over the entire organization of Milbon is the one and only,
Bonwon, Jeong Gi Joon.
I was told Lord Lee Shin Jeok held a separate meeting with the Milbon veteran members.
At this rate, Milbon will become divided.
How about we show everyone the letters instead?
We show everyone including Lee Shin Jeok the letters, and once they know the severity...
We can't!
The King's letters cannot be seen or known by any.
Right now, more than blocking a division,
blocking the letters spreading is more urgent.
Your Excellency,
Lord Shim Jong Soo is here.
What brings you here?
Have you come to a decision?
Indeed, what we must wager our lives to protect,
is it Milbon or is it Bonwon, Jeong Gi Joon?
It is Milbon.
It is a genuine parliament.
It is Sadaebu aristocracy.
Hence, I've come to conclude I must separate Milbon from Bonwon who's pressing absurdly to block the letters.
Great job. You've made a great conclusion.
However, you see...
Now the Sungkyunkwan students and young officials Bonwon raised are at the center of Milbon.
While we can't even manage to grasp just who all is a Milbon member.
At this rate,
for us to grab ahold of Milbon...
Yes.
Hence, what we need are two items.
What are they?
A list of all Milbon member names and for Bonwon to pronounce a new Bonwon.
A method... have you?
Do you really intend to do so?
It will be quite a havoc inside the royal court.
In carryng out my work, turning the court upside down,
isn't that a common happening?
Your Majesty.
Please don't worry about us.
Us getting tormented by the high ministers is a common happening as well.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Please do so.
Bonwon only thinks about blocking the letters right now.
Hence?
Bonwon's looking for Prince Gwangpyeong's court maidens who were exiled into government slavery.
Court maidens?
Why?
His Majesty pulled the Haerye of the letters out through those court maidens.
He is trying to print the Haerye and promulgate by spreading them too all precincts around the nation.
Hence Bonwon is looking for those court maidens and the Haerye volume the court maidens have.
So we should, before Bonwon can, that Haerye...get ahold of it?
And we can then use that to demand what we want from Bonwon.
Before that, between you and I, we should first...
Am I interested in becoming Bonwon?
Do you mean that?
Yes.
Since from what I can tell, you don't seem too interested in Teacher Sambong's great cause.
You've seen me right.
Now, I am...
old and so forth, so the great cause is not something I am hugely concerned in.
No, the great cause, you guard it.
You be the new Bonwon and spearhead the society.
And I will just rise in rank,
satisfied in watching the Milbon you pull forward.
Don't scorn.
Once you become the leader to spearhead the group, you will then realize the importance of me.
And you will realize that someone like me is actually more reliable.
Isn't that why His Majesty regards me highly as well?
Your Excellency, it's me, Jang Soo Young. I'm coming in.
What's the matter?
His Majesty's has ordered for everyone to gather at once.
Including the Jiphyunjeon scholar officials.
All eunuchs and court maidens,
as well as royal guardsmen, are to retreat outside of 300 footsteps.
Since the officers are refusing to tend to their posts as of now, actually talking just among us,
might be better.
Apology, declaration,
and proposition. These three,
are the deeds I will carry out today.
First, apology.
Deceased Heo Dahm.
Yoon Pil.
Jang Seong Soo.
And my son, Gwangpyeong.
Jeong In Ji, Seong Sam Moon, Park Paeng Nyeon.
They are members of my secret group,
members of Cheonji (Heaen and Earth) Society.
Myself and Cheonji members have been,
creating letters without you knowing.
What!
The admonition of many ministers and scholars are correct.
The King carrying out this work in secret behind the ministers,
is without a doubt a mistake of mine.
I apologize to you.
Your Majesty.
Next is my declaration.
Grand Prince Gwangpyeong,
was not murdered by Milbon.
Your Majesty!
In regards to the disgraceful events sourced from my mistake,
I will not punish Milbon in any way.
Furthermore, Milbon
as a political party that clashes with my political view,
I shall acknowledge them as such.
Hence, I will debate with them.
And I will verify them.
Your Majesty! You mustn't!
Hence...
I shall now make a proposition.
Reveal you are a Milbon.
And step forward into the court plaza.
Your Majesty! It can never be!
Milbons are offenders of high treason who violated the sacred laws of the 3 principles and 5 virtues.And they have killed human lives on top of that.
It seems I must make that part clear.
Yoon Pyung who has killed lives with his hands,
and Jeong Gi Joon who ordered for such behind him.
I will punish them with crimes of murder.
Your Majesty, not just murder, but high treason!
Their wrongs were not in objecting to my will,
nor in objecting my letters.
It was just murder.
If we say they ought to be punished for violating the principles and virtues, then anyone can be punished.
Someone has already sent in an anonymous letter,
listing a number of names of Milbon members.
I have that roster already.
However, just how weak is the King,
that just because their intentions differ from mine,
that I would call upon them as violators of the three principles and five virtues? Right?
Now...
I shall reveal my proposition clearly once again.
I will, without fail,
promulgate the letters.
If you ministers will help me carry it out, in seven days, at Gwanghwamoon Plaza,
together with the citizenry.
Why this...
However, if Milbon is to create a faction,
and object against me,
up until the day before the promulgation,
you must come forward into the front plaza of the court.
If by chance, you don't do so, and try to harass or prevent the promulgation,
and you are caught as a Milbon member by me,
everything that happens afterwards,
will be solely your responsibility.

My...
Why, this matter...
What shall we do about it?
Right State Minister, His Majesty wants to see you for a moment.
Your Majesty! The Right State Minister, Lord Lee Shin Jeok has arrived.
How was it?
Yes?
What shall I do?
To find and bring around the Milbon members in the government,
I declared this way. But...
Lord Jo Mal-Saeng thinks
that I have to suspect the closest persons around me.
Right State Minister!
Yes, Your Majesty!
You have to become Prime Minister.
Yes?
Minister Hwang Hui
is saying he will step down over health reason, right?
Your Majesty, isn't that what Minister Hwang Hui says every year though? Certainly not!
It should be Minister Hwang Hui.
I didn't think you would agree to it right away.
Here, then think about it.
Why did His Majesty call for you?
He says I should
take over as Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister?
I guess Minister Hwang Hui put in his resignation again.
To His Majesty,
I did tell him to cancel that intention. However...
Then?
Are you saying I am a Milbon?
Under the current circumstance, you are the one who speaks for Milbon the most.
In objecting the letters,
you were the most against it as well.
Even if you say I am a Milbon, it is to no avail.
I will still
object the letters.
However, you see,
by chance, is there anything suspicious about Vice Deputy Chief Scholar, Shim Jong Soo?
Shim Jong Soo?
What do you mean?
What Shim Jong Soo said at Yeongwoljeong previously,
you must remember it, right?
You mean his comment that he met Master Hae Gang?
However, just with that?
I heard something from Right State Minister too.
Hence, we are secretly keeping a close watch on Shim Jong Soo for the time being.
What brought Minister Jo here?
How did it go...?
Don't you know Choi Manli's personality?
He must be talking to him right away this very moment.
I am asking you straightforwardly.
Are you a Milbon?
Yes?
Since you and I obviously oppose the promulgation of letters, we cannot avoid being suspected.
However, by any possibility,
if you are a Milbon,
do what His Majesty said.
Why do you tell me this all of a sudden?
What did Minister Jo...
I also heard that the Right State Minister also
suspects you.
If any unfavorable things happen to Jiphyunjeon because of you,
as Deputy Chief Scholar of Jiphyunjeon, who lost my scholars by Milbon,
I am not going to just overlook it.
I heard that, without fail, you have submitted your resignation again this year.
Is His Majesty going to allow it this time?
Resignation?
I haven't submitted it yet this year.
What?
I suspect you?
Yes!
Jo Mal Saeng seems to have said so.
Since His Majesty declared it, Jo Mal Saeng is just pricking here and there, isn't that so?
It must be the case.
You're not possibly...
falling for that low trick, right?
Of course not.
If I did, would I come to tell you this?
Sure!
Of course!
We have our own way!
Yes!
I will be away from the court to find the Haerye (instructions) for a while.
Please take care of my temporary resignation notice.
Yup.
Sure! Sure!
Will do.
Jikjaehak Shim Jong-Soo submitted a leave of absence after he confirmed on Lord Hwang Hui's resignation.
Did he?
Considering his personality, he is not going to run away...
Anyhow, as of this, Shim Jong Soo made a different move.
Keep a close eye on him!
Yes!
I will send the Royal Guard to chase him.
Have you met Lord Lee Shin-Jeok? How did it go?
Is that true?
Yes!
Lord Hwang Hui...hasn't submitted his resignation this year.
Then...
how come His Majesty mentioned it?
However, Shim Jong Soo seems to have confirmed that fact.
What? Shim Jong Soo... ?
It is not likely...
that you were deceived by that low-down trick?!
Of course not! If I did, would I come to tell you this?
By the way,
Shim Jong Soo didn't tell me about it.
Then?
That guy...?
That scum...!
Although we searched through all the printing houses, no one showed up.
Now,
I was going to search for the paper mills and paper shops.
If they print out or hand-copy them, they need paper.
Yes...
From now on, you need to secretly talk only to me.
Before Bonwon, I should know it.
Yes? Why?
I...
Now, I am going to take a separate way from Bonwon.
No..
Bonwon was already taking a different direction.
Also...
it is a different passage from Lee Shin Jeok as well.
Shim Jong Soo harbors other thoughts..
Even though he finds the Haerye (instructions),
he will not bring it to me.
Then, what shall we do?
Ask help from Taepyunggwan.
By Taepyunggwan, you mean?
Anyhow, we should obtain the Haerye before Shim Jong Soo does.
Have you heard anything from Kang Chae Yoon?
What? Not yet.
However...
What is it?
I am not sure if I have to tell you this, but...
there are lots of people who are wondering where Kang Chae Yoon went.
The Rites Ministry, as well as Jiphyunjeon.
Did you tell them?
No, I don't even know.
Anyway, what is his duty?
You don't have to know.
You just let me know as soon we get message from him.
Yes!
Are they doing a good job?
Ga gya geo gyeo this body of mine has nowhere to go...
Look at them..
Orabeoni, don't you need to leave now?
Yeah, I should go now.
Relate the situation here clearly to Palace Guard Cho Tak.
So the report can be made precisely and clearly.
Alright.
And Geumji and Mokya's will come in clearly too.
Aigoo I know! I am not a child!
This... eat it on your way.
I see! I will get back very quickly! Count 10! 10!
I'm going.
To the God of high mountain and to you God of low mountain,
to all you deities and spirits everywhere.
Gods of land and water, high and low, and wide.
Let us serve the Gods of all.
What is this?
You are a new face!
Who allowed you to jump around here?
Uh-huh!
How dare you put your dirty hand?
What.. what dirty hands?
Don't don't stop me! You little!
What a dumb punk!
How dare you try to take a Japgwa exam?
You will fail out of it very well!
How.. how did you know that I was trying to take the Japgwa?
Is it right? Are you taking the Japgwa?
Oh.. Japgwa... Japgwa![ Miscellaneous technical trade exam ]
If you don't worship with earnest,
your mother's leg disease won't be treated either!
Ohh... how did you know that?
Then! Then! if I worship it sincerely,
my mom's legs will be treated?
Oh my, oh my, oh my!
The shaman also knew his mother's illness.
This is amazing!
Amazing!
This is the magic words, Chun Ji Oh Haeng!
If you chant it every morning and night with a special method, it will work!
If you don't do it, it is all worthless.
What is that special method?
That's what I mean.
What is that method?
Please let us know it!
You are so pitiful and silly.
Today's fortune is not good. Same time and hour.
Wait here with one of your family members with you tomorrow.
Then I will distribute this charm to you.
I will let you know how to chant it!
A family!
You should bring your family members!
Why that girl Mokya is doing quite well.
The piglet is very excited!
If tomorrow comes, lots of people will gather!
Then we'll be able to hand out all the amulets?
You are going to go to the paper store tonight, huh?
Yes, I'll be meeting Chae Yoon too, to get reports.
Aigo, welcome.
Has anyone ordered sheets of paper in bulk recently?
Let's see...
No, no one around here
has needed sheets of paper in bulk.
But we did have someone order talisman paper.
A few hundred of them.
Talisman paper?
By who?
Well, they were maidens.
No one ordered writing paper.
But someone did order talisman paper in bulk.
From the description, it seems to be those court maidens.
Talisman paper?
Isn't talisman paper what you use to make an amulet?
Yes.
Actually he said they were coming tonight to claim them.
So Pyung is there to ambush.
Once the communication comes, relate to us at once.
Yes.
Talisman paper?
Then... are those court maidens intending to write the Haerye on amulet paper?
Or else...
to draw the attention of other people?
Since it's paper that's familiar to the common people?
Familiar paper?
Isn't it so?
Do the people write books?
Do they write to each other?
But an amulet is something each household has.
Can't be...
What is the matter?
Not paper for writing letters or books.
They ordered amulet paper in bulk?
It wasn't printing.
Damn you!
Why didn't I think of it?
Bonwon, what are you talking about?
Lee Do, using those letters...
What was the first book he wanted to make?
It wasn't the Confucian doctrines, but the lifestory of Buddha.
That which was familar to the citizenry.
Then?
Once again, Lee Do,...
What the people believe in the most,
what they most easily follow, he's trying to use that.
That's right!
He's not trying to spread the prints to the precincts.
He's trying to have the people spread it among themselves on their own.
Perhaps they have been spread already.
Catch all those court maidens.
And those that have been spread as well in their care,
they all have to be destroyed.
Hence Yoon Pyung and Maksoo are staking out the paper shop?
Yes, they plan to chase after them if they come.
Alright.
I beg of your help.
We must claim it first.
You'll need to move this very moment.
Is the thing we told you about all prepared?
Yes, I've got it here.
All in here.
Isn't he that palace guard?
So it was the talisman paper.
You must tell only me in secret from now on.
I must have it before Bonwon does.
I'm in a bit of a situation.
Can you hide me?
Where were you headed?
Near Shinchanggol.
It's my direction as well. Hurry and get in.
It's fine!
Po!
Oh, Cho Tak is here.
Thank you. Thanks to you, I got here safely.
Why are you so late?
What is this? Who is he?
That half-mask bastard
showed up.
What? The half-mask?
Thanks to this man, I was lucky.
Anyways, pack up the stuff inside.
We've got to evade.
Alright, got it.
Throw away your sword.
And kneel on your knees.
Hurry and flee. We'll handle it here.
Hurry and flee, I said!
Handle these scums here. I'll chase them.
Your Lordship,
why are you here?
What's in the wagon?
I've caught the court maidens.
This,
what are you doing?
Do you intend to disobey Bonwon's order?
What should we do?
Pull them away.
Vice-deputy, Shim Jong Soo?
Do you think the court maidens could be hostages?
If you want to kill them,
then kill them.
Flee.
Now, it's just us two.
You go that way.
I'll go this way.
Alright, let's meet up by Seonhwang tree.
There's no one here to help you.
Let's go quietly.
Hello. (in Chinese)
If I were you, you see,
instead of dying in vain here,
I'd hurry and run to tell your superior about things.
What do you think?
Subtitles are brought to you by the Deep Rooted Friends @viki.com
I have a lot of flesh, you know. But are you okay?
But what sudden bombshell was that?
Don't we need to go find the court maidens first?
We should find them. Let's go quickly!
Hey, Chae Yoon!
What happened?
Are you guys okay?
Suddenly, the Milbon scum jumped out!
I think I was followed.
I am in disgrace.
And the court maidens?
We got them to run away somehow.
But I am not sure if they were caught or not afterwards.
Which way did they go?
You guys...
bring the court maiden to the camp.
Also,
you have to relay a message to Bonwon.
What shall we tell him?
Vice-Deputy scholar Shim Jong Soo has garnered a different intention.
In addition,
the court maidens separated in groups of two.
Got it?
Yes.
I'll chase after the court maiden that has disappeared,
and that other group.
You seem heavily scared.
Stop the joke.
Jeez.
You're so scary.
We should alert Hanyang first.
No, it depends on the situation.
[Manchurian language] I should think of what to inform them.
I have to find out what Lee Shin Jeok will do with the Haerye (explanation and example).
Do you think I will torture you?
So that is why you are slightly afraid.
However,
I don't do such things.
Whatever you do, you won't find out anything from me.
Do you know what this is?
It is called maeyeonjae.
It makes you feel really good.
What's that? Gyun Jeok Hee showed up?
I'm ashamed to face you.
Why would Taepyungwan?
I don't know either... however if Taepyunggwan is involved...
It must be Lee Shin Jeok.
Since Lee Shin-Jeok requested it,
Chang-Wi (Ming's Secret Agency) moved.
Do you think Gyun Jeok Hee brought the court maidens and left this mountain?
If she wants to leave the mountain with hostages, she'll have to pass through the Doljae passage.
However, no one passed that way.
Then... they are still around this mountain.
What is your name?
Geun-Ji.
Where is your hometown?
Gyeonggi-do...
Anseong.
That's good. You are doing a good job.
I am asking you a question.
Where is the haerye for your letters?
There is none.
None? What do you mean?
I am asking you again. Where is the haerye?
Haerye originally...
doesn't exist.
Is she telling a lie?
When she is druged with this smell, she can't tell a lie.
Then?
Where are other court maidens? I mean So-Yi!
She is...
in Changahmgol
Changahmgol?
I am going to Changahmgol right now.
As for you,
you can kill the girl and take care of the corpse.
Then come to Changahmgol.
Yes, Ma'am.
Oh! Oh!
Hey,! look at this! look at this!
This hair ribbon!
I don't know whose this is, but it is one of the court maiden's!
Let's search for them again!
You go over there and Cho-Tak, go this way! I see!
Do you recognize me?
It is Jikjaehak Shim Jong Soo!
Perhaps...?
Maeyeonjae?
Did you use Maeyeonjae?
Where is haerye?
Haerye is...
in Changahmgol.
She said that it doesn't exist a while ago.
I will go to Chamahmgol right away.
Then...
There is a dugout for hunting nearby this Eundoon Mountain.
You can tie this court maiden there. Then come to me in Changahmgol.
Yes!
Haerye is in Changahmgol...
Well. Can I ask you a question?
Where is Changahmgol?
Ah Changahmgol...
If you follow this path,
and go over the mountain, you will see a large tree there.
That is Changahmgol.
Thank you!
What are you trying to do?
If you are lucky, you will be found out by your crowd.
Isn't she court Miss Geunji?
Why is she in here?
Isn't court Miss Mokya here?
Hey! Can you wake up?
Do you recognize me?
Please wake up!
Hey! Hey!
Can you come to yourself?
Kang Chae-Yoon!
Palace Guard!
What happened to you?
These people are trying to find haerye.
Ming's people.
Jikjaehak Shim Jong Soo...
They went to Changahmgol to find Haerye.
Hae.. haerye? What is that?
Quickly, go to Changahmgol!
Protect the haerye!
Hurry! What do you mean?
Clearly.. clearly tell me!
By the way, will children learn the letter only by singing the song?
First, we should let them be familiarized and get used to the letters.
From tomorrow, I may teach them letters a bit.
Let them write their names.. from their names.
When I learned it first, writing my name in our letters was the most amazing.
Alright, names.
We'll start with the names then.
Ah... what are you talking about?
Ming people and Vice-Deputy Shim Jong Soo are looking for Haerye?
What is Haerye?
Then, did So-Yi and the court maiden Deokgeum
have Haerye with them?
I checked everything there, but there was nothing.
However, those scum went to Changahmgol to find the Haerye...
What does that mean?
So Yi...
So-Yi is the Haerye!
Haerye is not a book.
From the beginning, it has always
been a person.
So Yi...So Yi's in danger!
