Unknown to Yi Yeong and Ra On, Byung-yeon has heard everything they said.

With the ministers advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding the meetings and the scholars protesting at the Palace gate, Yi Yeong turns to Teacher Dasan for advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding.

The Prime Minister advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding Yoon-sung for siding with Yi Yeong on the issue of the civil service exams. He tells Yoon-sung what political advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding is all about.

Ha-yeon continues to advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding Eunuch Hong (aka Ra On) hoping that in the process, she’ll get to see Yi Yeong.

The Princess has not been able to speak after a advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding event several years ago. And so, Ra On teaches her how to advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding using hand signals. Ra On says that they’re advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding because “I’m also hiding a lot of things like you.”

Later, Ra On meets Yi Yeong in the library. She returns the advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding and advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding, “Let me leave the Palace.”

The Princess (Consort Park’s child) has been advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding after secretly witnessing how the Prime Minister and his men killed an advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding court attendant who knew how Yi Yeong’s mother really died.

The Prime Minister tells Yoon-sung, “Politics is not advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding the people. People with power lead the people.” Yoon-sung advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding and tells him also that he will only marry someone whom he loves.

Ha-yeon sees the advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding bracelet on Eunuch Hong’s hand and explains what the bracelet means.

Teacher Dasan asks Yi Yeong, “Is this fight for advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding or for change?” Yi Yeong then decides to give in to what the ministers and the scholars want. But he changes the question in the exam to “An advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding to opposition — how will you convince the other?”

After the exam, Yi Yeong tells the Prime Minister that he wants advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding and advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding ideas for Joseon’s future.

One of those who pass the exam is young Master Jung, and as he is about to enter the Palace, he meets Princess Myeongeun (Yi Yeong’s sister), who’s no longer fat but who’s still advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding.

The Princess (Consort Park’s child) goes back on her own to the room and the drawer from where she saw the Prime Minister advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding the attendant. Later, she writes to Ra On, “When will we be able to open the door on our own and leave?”

Using the hand advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding that Ra On taught the Princess, Yi Yeong tells Ra On that he loves her and that he wants her to stay by his side.

The next day, Ra On, dressed as a woman, meets Yi Yeong in the garden.

But unknown to them, the King has already ordered a state advicealikeapologizesbefriendbefriendingboycottingbraceletclumsycommunicatedilemmadisagreesdiverseelderlyemotionalensueseternitymurdernoveloppositionpermissionpleadspowerresidencescoldssignalstraumatictraumatizedvictorywedding for Yi Yeong.
