Starts from B saying: whatever you say I am your woman. He grabs her close and says -you cant have my love, but you still want to be the mother to the next king. Fine. For your sake, I will untie my robe once.
The astrologer who rescued wol is putting a spell and writing red letters and figures.
While N is praying with other shamans, she gets a feeling and her eyes get big. Jansil starts to choke. The man burns something.
H doesnt look well. he flips B on her back. H hovers over her. She cries and says : you are really cruel/harsh. I am a woman too. she asks why he is like this. why cant you see me as a girl. (B thought H was toying with her).
Suddenly H grabs his chest and falls to the side and tries to breathe like a fish out of water. B asks why is he doing this again. are you going back to the beginning. H stops moving. She tries to revive him and calls for help. servants come in and tell him to wake up. the woman calls for the doctor
Wol gets called away by jansil cuz something big happened- the king fainted and they want her to go to him quickly. M repeats her words -did you say you have to take care of god and shouldnt love anyone else and cant love anyone else-then you shouldnt have been caught.
Next morning guard asks the professors if there was a problem by moving the consummation date up. Professor says there was no problem. he tries to blame the doctor saying unless he missed something. Doctor denies any wrongdoing saying there was nothing with the king on the night of consummation. Guard asks if there was no problem before the night of consummation and he was healthy so why did the king faint. Professor says they are frustrated about that too. Another professor says last night there was a strange aura. guard asks what was strange. professor says suddenly there was electrocity and he felt something within the palace. another thinks something tried to hurt the king. the main professor says somone cast a spell for certain
Dowager meets with H’s mom. dowager asks if the queen is on her way out from meeting the king. Queen says yes cuz she heard what happened and couldnt sit still. dowager asks how he is doing. queen says according to the doctor H’s vitals went back to normal but needs rest cuz of his oxygen or respiratory. Dowager: since you said that the heavens helped us. she is about to go in but the queen says sorry the king just now took some medicine and fell asleep. dowager is worried since she is in shock then how much more shock B must be in over what happened. queen says she was about to go see B so dowager asks to go with her
Dowager and queen meet with B. dowager says B’s face is shrunk to half in one day cuz of how shocked B must have been. B says she doesnt have the right to meet them and they shouldnt forgive her. queen says not to talk like that – this is not B’s fault. B says no it’s all my fault. if I had only told you sooner. dowager asks what are you talking about. B says to be honest she didnt tell the two of them cuz she didnt want to trouble them. but she had an unsettling dream the night before the consummation night. some young girl in white clothes appeared and said “from now on it’s my job to stay by the king’s bedside and for the rest of your life you wont be able to even think about having an heir.” dowager is shocked. B says she didnt want to tell the dowager. B says there is a rumor about an amulet who is supposed to absorb evil spirits who is overstepping her place and seducing the king with her psychic abilities. Queen says if that’s it -didnt I tell you not to worry cuz the king doesn’t know about the girl’s existence but B says sorry to tell you but the king already knows about the amulet coming to his bedside. B checks their expressions to see if her words had the intended affect
Ministers talk about what happened. one finds out about the amulet that absorbs sickness/evil spirits and asks was there an amulet like that. if he knew about it sooner, he would have put one up too. but the other one says-you think your wife would let that happen. the day you get caught your life would be over. the guy asks how they knew that shaman cast a spell. he asks -truthfully who is the one who cast the spell but yoon says what’s important about the truth. it’s more important how to use what’s already happened. one says if the amulet was supposed to go during the time the king was asleep without him knowing and the king knew about her and still kept her by his side – if other people find out this truth. the other one thinks other people wont leave that alone. cuz the king wont own up to this truth on his own. other one says they have nothing to lose. if the king owns up then they dont have to care about what he thinks and do whatever they want. even if he doesnt own up other people will know about the truth about the shaman being allowed in the palace and it will leave a bad reputation on the king . they start plotting to say stuff about the king and the amulet and then the amulet interfered with the consummation night. one asks – what to prepare first. Yoon says first they need to let that shaman girl know what she needs to say
Hong is talking to some old man. The doctor who attended to YW when she was sick. Hong repeats what the old man said about how there was no foul play. hong asks what the man remembers about her condition. Old doctor says she was fine then got sick. it was the first time something he saw something like that happen in 30 yrs so he remembers clearly. the man asks if Hong really is a relative. Hong pretends to be sad hearing this info and says yes. he asks if the old man remembers anything else. old man says he remembers her parents every day- the mom called for him so he went. her mom said her daughter was alive even though she was dead and asked me to save her. the father held his dead daughter for a long time so the girl’s body was still warm like a live person even after a long time after her death. just talking about this is hurting my heart. Hong seems suspicious
MW is walking with Y’s mom. MW says she is ok so let;s just get your medicine. but the mom says MW is first cuz she wants her to have a grandchild who resembles Y. MW says if it is that kind of medicine she would eat it a 100 times even if it was bitter. even if it was bitter she would eat it like it was sweet.
MW asks the doctor just to listen and she speaks in a low voice and asks for that medicine to give strength to men. she says she will pay him plenty so send that medicine along with the others. MW asks what the mom is doing. old doctor asks if the mom is looking at that again. Mom looks at the marking on the doorway. It was where they used to mark YW’s height. the mom says before the selection process she came here with YW. mom wonders if the height they marked then is this one. she wonders how much YW would have grown by now if she had lived. Old doctor says a far away relative was just here asking about YW. mom asks who asked about her YW. MW looks uneasy. man said the guy said he was a distant relative
Wol repeats the words and places and her old name and remembers H calling her name and her mom calling her name. there is an order for the shaman to come out
Wol goes out and Hong asks if she is the shaman called Wol. he says she is and asks who he is. He gives her his name and orders her to be taken away. She asks why he is doing this
Jansil and S are walking back and see Wol being led away. S asks why they are doing this to her miss. Guard says move aside. shaman Wol is accused of treason I think. S says they got it wrong. he says if she didnt commit any crime then it will be revealed in interrogation/the precinct ( not sure of the korean word for where she is being taken to). he orders others to drag wol away. S tells Jansil to go tell N this truth and S will follow wol. S runs after wol. Jansil worries what to do cuz N left not too long ago
N ask why the astrologist did that- are you determined to something. he says until the original owner returns he has to stop it somehow. N: it was a fate that could have been cut off. he says it was a fate that shouldnt be cut. if they lose this chance they lose forever the chance to put everything back in its place. N talks about what she had to give up as a shaman and everything cant be turned back to the way it was. he asks if that wasnt for the sake of saving the young lady. N admits she could have killed YW if it wasn’t for her promise to Ari.he says he knows she doesnt mean that. cuz N chose something that would protect seungsucheong -the young miss and everything – how would he not know that . N: did you say to protect seungsucheong? She says a bunch of other stuff about how seungsucheong has been used by people in power and how they forgot about the citizens and god so seungsucheong has been dying. even if it disappears one day, she was hoping it wouldnt be ask much as her. that greed kept her going. he says she needs to take hold of it now at least. she says she came too far to turn around now. N says – dont you know? ”whago” already started
Wol is being interrogated by the guard. He asks what the reason was for not being in her place and disobeying orders. she says she already told him it was an order from the king. he asks where and what she was doing when the spell was cast. She says near seoungsucheong. He asks if there is a witness to verify that. she remembers M but lies and says she was alone then. he says then there is no witness to prove what she said then. he was holding onto her so she says let go and talk. he is about to hit her for being impudent, but Hong stops the guard. Yoon comes in and say stop and says he has something to say to the girl so will you leave us for a short time
N hears from jansil that Wol was taken away treason – for putting a spell on the king
S is waiting for N. S: where did you go to come so late. N: what happened. S says they cant meet wol yet cuz she is being interrogated. they will be called after it’s over. N says she will stay and tells S to leave but S doesnt want to until she sees wol’s face. N tells her to obey. N sees Yoon and hides. Yoon thinks he saw Wol somewhere before for sure
N goes in to see wol. N asks if her body is ok. Wol: I am ok so far. N wonders to herself why wol is always having to go through these bad things. Wol asks how the king is. she worries about his breathing cuz he was stable when she left him. N asks if that is the problem when Wol’s life is about to fly away. dont you know how big a crime it is to cast a spell. Wol says she knows. she says she knows there is nothing like a shaman to use and throw away. she cant get out of this situation anyway but. N asks what that “but” is. wol says she just doesn’t want the king to be in a difficult situation cuz of her. wol says what she is going to lie about so N asks why are you worrying about him now. Wol asks N to help her think about how she wont be a burden on the king. wol wants to take the blame that she cast the spell but N yells at her. are you in your right mind. wol thinks saying that will help the king. N: dont talk nonsense.if you take the blame do you think the king will be happy. wol worries the king will be in pain and have an even bigger scar by that. cuz even a shaman is a citizen and that he wasnt able to protect me again – he will blame himself. What should I do? How can I protect the king and myself.
M is deciding what to pack. should I take this or take that. too much baggage is bothersome. he decides to take some nice clothes for when he goes somewhere and asks his servant to pack some poem. His servant asks if anything had happened. M: why do you think that. servant says cuz M is going on another sudden trip. M says his body itches from staying too long at home -it fits him to wander around like the wind and water. M say how long it will take for him to meet someone and then come back. Servant asks him to come back quickly as possible cuz if M is out too long everyone worries. M mutters about his popularity. M ask the servant to get something for cooking meat
H yells out Yoon’s name and gets mad. He gets up to leave but HS stops him. HS asks where he is going. H says to where that place wol is. HS: you cant do that. H says that girl is not going to lie to live so how do you think this will end. HS: before you are a man you are this country’s king. dont you know what they want. do you know what they are doing with the shaman. they are using her to make everyone turn their backs to you. HS says to save one H will lose everything - you have to give one thing up. If you take that girl’s side, you will lose everything. HS thinks Wol will find a way out of this somehow cuz she is resilient
Wol is tortured. Yoon : I will give you anotehr chance to answer.what was the reason why you cast the spell. but she says she never did that. Yoon gets close and says he gave her a chance to live by asking that question -if that is your choice then it cant be helped.he orders her to be tortured till she confesses.
dowager says for him to be here for her help – since she lived long lots of strange things happen. H begs the dowager to stop Yoon so this doesnt go further. She asks why he is like this – if he is afraid that girl will get hurt. that he has feelings for a shaman. He says he is a man. for a short time he was seduced and that’s the truth but it isnt love. As a king how could I like a shaman. he has that much self restraint at least. she feels relieved and says he wouldnt do that. He says he doesnt want this to get any bigger -that it was just him looking at someone else for a short time. he wanted to keep that a secret but if things get more out of control, how could will he look as the king. he asks her to use her status for the sake of the palace. dowager asks what power an old woman like her has. he says how can you talk like that. that she has the power to move a lot of people. aside from you, who else is there. H says to himself- If I have to throw one away for the sake of many, then I rather give myself alone to save that one.
Dowager said she heard from jang (N) that wol doesn’t have any skills to cast a spell. and M as the witness proved that girl was innocent so they have to let her go. he says even if Wol is absolved of not casting the spell but she still committed the crime of being involved with the king. she says all they need to do is take wol away from the king’s side. and with this chance they were able to control the king so she thinks they got what they could from this situation. now they something big in their hands to use later on. The knowledge that both brothers seem to like the girl. that;s what came into their laps. So yoon smiles.
H hears that M interfered for wol. That means brother knew about that girl. H says woon’s expression means woon already knew. HS says M is here
Wol thinks to herself. She says sorry I gave you such a big scar on your heart. but if I don’t break this off- it will be dangerous for you and the king. for having no choice but to do this. please dont forgive me
M goes out and thinks to himself. everything I’ve tried to have – everything that I ever wanted. you got it too easily. If you wont allow me have that one thing that I want…
