Gwanghae, Wangyidoen namja Page #2

---

I offer my head to say this.

If this is about Yu Jeong-ho,

I shall not hear more of it.

Forgive me, Your Majesty,

but Yu Jeong-ho would never

plot treason against you.

Enough!

I know it, too.

Yu is my loyal servant

and trusted brother-in-law.

But I'll need to sacrifice

someone like Yu

in order to gain their trust.

Sir,

the royal physician sent for you.

Come this way.

It appears that he's been poisoned.

Will he recover?

Forgive me, but...

I cannot confirm anything

at this point.

We may need to prepare

for a national calamity.

Who else knows about this?

So far, only myself

and Chief Eunuch.

I shall take full responsibility

for what I'm about to say.

Both you and Chief Eunuch

shall remain silent about

His Majesty's condition.

But, sir!

You know better than anyone

that you will not live

if the King passes away.

If the word about

the King's condition gets out,

the Court will fall into

unimaginable chaos.

That is clearly what

the conspirator wanted.

The King is confined to bed

because of a cold.

Please wake Captain Do

and fetch the jester at once.

Take His Majesty to

a remote temple.

Absolutely no one is

to know about this

until the poison is identified,

and His Majesty recovers.

It's not the night we arranged.

The King must be going

somewhere nice.

I see the beating didn't

teach you anything.

I beg your pardon?

Was it you that ratted me out?

I don't know how to thank you!

It was indeed an insufferable crime

to make fun of the King

and the magistrate who took

the girl's virginity for my crimes

is innocent.

But what did that

15-year-old girl do wrong?

Was there any untruth

in what I said?

Don't let your tongue run wild.

It's Captain Do.

His Majesty wishes to stay

in his quarters tonight.

I shall escort him out,

as soon as the King is finished.

Hitting me and sh*t.

Where is His Majesty?

The King is unwell.

Oh.

How sick is he?

Is it serious?

You'll have to act as

his stand-in for a while.

For how long?

There is nothing for

you to worry about,

as long as you do as I say.

I won't do it.

Wretch!

It's for the good of the kingdom.

And none of my concern.

You're asking me

to put my neck on the line.

I can't do it.

It's 20 silver coins now.

I shall give you 20 more after.

My life for a few coins.

I'm not that crazy.

Did you say 'for the good

of the kingdom'?

The good of the kingdom means

the good of the people.

Man, what's happening.

I trust you'll keep your word

about the balance.

His Majesty has a terrible cold

and shall not be attending

this morning's conference.

The morning conference will

be held again in three days.
