Moonlight Drawn by Clouds

1 It may become a long trip.
But I promise to return to your and His Highness' side.
Your Highness.
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Your Highness.
No Your Highness.
I dreamed about the day I parted from you.
It was a happy dream, right? At least, I can see you there.
Are you in? Are you inside? What is it? Is there an urgent patient? Yes.
You must hurry and come to the palace.
The palace? What do you mean? There was a poisoning attempt.
What? The Crown Prince is in serious condition right now.
(CHAPTER 18, MOONLIGHT DRAWN BY CLOUDS) Who are you? I am Jeong Yak Yong.
The Crown Prince called for me.
Show your face.
She is a medical assistant.
Look Doctor You're here.
Why aren't you coming in? Hurry.
Hurry.
Hurry.
Hurry.
Your Highness.
It is I.
It is Ra On.
Are you all right? Your Highness.
The Crown Princess is here.
How is His Highness doing? He just awoke.
Your Highness.
It is I, Ha Yun.
Can you see me? Please take a look.
Is she not very pretty? Your Highness.
Your Highness.
The Crown Prince fainted after drinking a poisoned tonic.
What? Is that true? Yes, Your Highness.
The tonic was clear.
That is why there was no change in the taster and the silver spoon.
Then what happened? The poison was on the outside of the bowl.
That is why the Crown Princess' ring changed colour.
I am glad you are safe.
You ingested very little amount of poison and you are so healthy, so there should not be a big problem.
It is thanks to you for running over so quickly.
For the time being, please do not tell anyone that I am awake.
I want to see how happy they would be to see someone they thought was dead.
Let us see.
Yes, Your Highness.
As you wish.
Everyone is keeping quiet, but there's a rumour in the palace that the Crown Prince is slowly dying.
Is Dongungjeon still off limits? Yes.
I heard even physicians cannot go in freely.
What if the throne becomes vacant before the Prince reaches the age of one? It cannot be.
I was not hallucinating.
I heard you were gravely ill.
Do you know how afraid I was that I would open my eyes and it would not be you? I feared of finding that it would not be you when I grabbed your hand, so I hesitated for a long while.
Your Highness.
I promised Master Jeong that I would stay only for a few days and not let anyone notice, even you.
So please pretend you do not know.
I will pretend not to know for a long time, so stay by my side at least until I am fully healed.
There was a royal command, so we could not visit sooner.
I am sorry for worrying you.
Not at all.
Thank goodness you are not worse.
Consort Park.
Do you remember the night my mother passed away? Yes, Your Highness.
She drank a tonic and fell ill.
No poison was found in the tonic.
Yes, that is true.
Several workers in the palace died without reason, so rumours were rampant.
However, it was buried for lack of evidence.
Why are you bringing up that heart-breaking story? The two incidents have similarities.
Moreover, I think it was done by the same person.
Thus, this is a good time to uncover the truth of my mother's death.
What do you mean? I have a feeling, but no evidence.
Did you look for the baby? Yes, Your Highness.
Court Lady Han of Dongungjeon is caring for her.
Bring her here right this moment.
Yes, Your Highness.
If the same thing happens again, I shall kill you first.
Halt.
"Kill the baby.
" Is that what you ordered? How are you here? Put her down.
Put the baby down right now.
What do you think you are doing? Even if she dies, she should at least cry as she wants.
Should she not? What? Even prisoners scream before they are executed, asking to be heard.
But all this baby can do is cry.
Let her cry as she wants before she dies.
In front of her cruel mother who wants to get rid of her.
Do whatever you wish.
She has nothing to do with me.
This is the last chance I am giving you.
The only way for you and that baby to survive.
Admit that she is your baby, and not the Prince.
I do not understand what you are saying at all.
It is I, Princess.
Are you surprised at how I am dressed? Eunuch Hong.
Did you become a medical assistant because of my sick brother? Yes.
I will stay here only until His Highness recovers.
But do you have another concern? Eunuch Hong, may I ask you for one more favour again? Princess.
Do you need to find something in here? What were you going to deliver to the Crown Prince? Is there anything you do not want His Highness to see? If you believe you can bury the truth by killing me, do what you want to do.
Princess.
Are you all right? There.
There Princess.
Here? Under the floor board? Yes.
Are you sure it was Hong Ra On? Yes.
I lost her because of the eunuchs, but I am certain.
Shall I bring her? Kill her if you must.
I will go.
I know you adore the wench.
Why would I entrust her to you? I want to test how deep my feelings are.
Are you disappointed that she is with the Crown Prince and does not let you in? Yes.
I need my family to be in power so that I can obtain the things I desire.
Fine.
Go and bring her.
Did Hong Ra On really find this? Yes, Your Majesty.
Yes.
It is right.
It is definitely your mother's.
Crown Prince, I desperately hope that by the time this letter reaches you, it will be after you have overcome all sadness and hatred.
Please do not forget that your throne, which I gave my life to protect, is not my son's authority and power, but the hope of Joseon.
Hong Ra On.
Master.
I need you to come with me.
Where? Master.
Master.
Master.
If Lord Kim were to find out What? Were you very surprised? Master! Master.
Master.
Are you all right? Please do not cry.
I do not want to be a weak man who makes a maiden cry.
Master.
Look how badly injured you are.
How can you make a joke? Please do not be sad, either.
Master, you have always made me laugh.
I am heartbroken that I always hurt you.
You are the painting that I have always wanted to paint.
It is fine as long as I was happy while painting you.
So please be happy.
Master.
Please get up.
The ground is cold.
Master.
Master.
Master.
Master.
I simply wanted to give birth to a prince.
No, I wanted to at least pretend to have.
It is a natural ambition and obligation as the Queen.
Yes.
But the greater reason was to be acknowledged by you.
I wanted to help my family, so I dared steal the King's seed.
I warned you, but every time you open your mouth I may be inadequate, but I am still your child.
Was there not even a single time? Have you ever had affection for me as your child? As the mother who threw away her child to keep her position as the Queen, you do not deserve to say that.
That is right.
What you said made me realise that I really am your daughter.
Whoever is in my way, I can throw away or kill them with ease.
I resemble you very much.
You said you wished to gain my recognition.
That is not possible for a lowly woman like you.
Be grateful for your position as the Queen and keep it well.
Premier Kim.
Is everything really true? (10 YEARS AGO) Do you not realise how dangerous it is to be into the Western Learning? You even dragged the Crown Prince into this.
Those are merely petty things that I got through the envoy.
(THE TRUE PRINCIPLES OF CATHOLICISM) "The True Principles of Catholicism".
(IT'S A CATECHISM WRITTEN BY AN ITALIAN JESUIT PRIEST.
) It's a dangerous book about the Western religion.
Why are you showing this book to me? You have read this book before you became the Queen, have you not? I only read it out of curiosity.
I do not believe in the Western religion.
Who would know what is on your mind? I heard you taught the Crown Prince about the socially equal country.
You must be aware that Hong Gyeong Nae's rebellion left deep scars to His Majesty and all the people.
Thus, I only wished that the Crown Prince would cherish each and every one of his subjects.
I shall give you a choice, Your Highness.
Would you be dethroned and make the Crown Prince the criminal's son or step down by yourself and remain as the flawless Queen? Master Kim.
Something terrible happened.
Your grandson Section Chief Kim is Criminal Kim Hun.
Hear this.
You scorned the Royal Family and the Royal Court by fabricating the identity of Queen Kim.
You made an attempt to poison the Crown Prince.
You assassinated the late Queen Yun and suppressed it for a long time.
Kim Hun will be divested of his title as the premier and be executed along with the two former ministers Kim Eui Gyo and Kim Geun Gyo who sent assailants to Dongungjeon.
Queen Kim will be dethroned for leaving indelible scars to the Royal Family by fabricating her identity and switching the Princess with another baby.
Chief Magistrate.
Let me look around Yoon Sung's room for the last time.
Thank you.
If I put on the royal robe, do I become a crown prince? No.
The clothes would not make you become a crown prince.
However, it would help you understand the feelings.
How did you feel when you wore my clothes? Your clothes felt as heavy as my royal robe.
I wish you will become a king with a clear vision.
When you are in a high position, you are apt to neglect those in lower positions.
I wish you will be good at hearing others.
You should not listen only to those who speak near you.
Please take care of all your subjects as if each one of them are your only subject.
Can you promise me that you will become a king like that? Yes, I shall bear in mind what you taught me.
Please watch over me, Mother.
(LOVE IN THE MOONLIGHT) Criminal Hong Ra On, receive the royal command.
Even though you committed high treason as the rebel's daughter, you contributed to strengthening the stability and regaining the honour of the Royal Family.
I commend your effort and grant you a pardon of all your crimes.
Crown Princess.
Are you even aware of what it means to remove your title as the Crown Princess? Yes, Your Majesty.
Even if you step down from your position, you have to live alone for the rest of your life.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I am aware of that.
Do you really wish to live that way? Your Majesty.
I knew that His Highness did not have feelings for me.
I thought he would open his heart to me one day if I stayed by his side.
I believed so.
However, as I kept blaming myself for not being able to comfort His Highness throughout his tough times, I realised how foolish I was.
Your majesty, please grant my request so I can live with confidence even though I am alone.
I do not wish to remain as a burden to His Highness.
Excuse me.
Which way is to the dock? Go that way.
I will make that you have never been chosen as the crown princess.
I hope you will find a man who loves you as you are and live a happy life.
It is very sunny.
- Let us hurry up.
- Yes, my lady.
All rise for His Majesty! (1 YEAR LATER) Your Majesty.
Why do you not sit on the royal seat? I shall keep sitting here.
The class difference between me and my people.
The distance from you.
I hope you understand my will to narrow all the gap.
Eunuchs have very important responsibilities of keeping the Royal Family safe and well.
We become one to serve His Majesty as his hands and feet and to be the light shining his way Eunuch Do.
It is not just me that have this feeling, is it? It is the feeling that we once had some time ago.
We share the common destiny.
Those are 99 flowers, Your Highness.
- The last one is - Is the last one me? That is silly.
That is correct.
It is hard to tell apart you from the flowers.
Your Highness.
Will you marry me? Duk Ho If you marry me, you will not be promoted.
Would that be all right? I will be happy as long as I am with you.
I would not mind that.
All I need is you.
Myung Eun.
Here I go! - Great! - That is good! - What was that? - Goodness.
- What a shame.
- It is our turn now.
Would you like to try this, Master? Master.
- Please try it, Master.
- Please try it, Master.
- Please come here, Master.
- Please come.
Have you heard of the moonlight drawn by clouds? You draw clouds to make the moon shine.
Are you talking about this? - Ready, throw! - Throw! He is not like the sun that shines over us.
He is the king who shines brighter when he is among his people.
Throw! I think that is how His Majesty is.
So you wish to remain as a cloud for His Majesty.
Is that what you mean? (TOP 10 MOST POPULAR BOOKS) (LOVE IN THE MOONLIGHT) You were so busy writing a great novel.
(LOVE IN THE MOONLIGHT) What is this? Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
The sales depend greatly on the book covers.

My figure is too valuable to be used like this.

That is the premise.
Is that your hope? No.
I simply peeked at the world that you will be creating.
