Song-gye (Lee Sun-min) accurately strikes down her son Bang-won (Lee Hyun-wook) and learns the truth through the intelligence agent Pan-soo (Song Jae-ryong).
Cha Juyeon, who had once again sacrificed herself to save her husband, once again saved his life. After the memorial service, Bangwon captured Songgye and detained him in the palace. Then, he upset his father's mind based on some strange information.
He took up the issue of the former empress Dowager Kei, claiming that she had ruined an opportunity for reconciliation between father and son. He emphasized that the father was devoted to his father to prevent the spread of rumors that he had tried to kill his son, but he also sought to calm the debate over his legitimacy.
However, Former Kei was not swayed by the concerns of those around him and maintained his composure. He was worried that the Empress's power would increase because of this incident, so he tried to discourage her in advance.
This is because he saw through Bangwon's intentions. Rather, he was suspicious of Songgye's true intentions. Surely he hadn't planned on killing Bangwon and having his eldest son, Prince Yangnyeong, succeed him as the next Bogye.

It was customary for the empress to prepare the reception for the envoy, and the empress needed to be a formal 'respectful' member of the Elite Court.
However, the Ming Dynasty, to which Joseon had to pay tribute, needed time to wait and see how things would turn out, since the outcome of the war could mean that the holder of supreme power could change.
He wanted to meet Songgye in person, with whom he had built a relationship. At the time, Former Kyung, who acted as a bridge between them, personally went out to persuade Songgye.
However, Songgye said, "There are other things that the king and queen should do." She also said, "I will make today's king.
Bangwon was called by his father and asked, "Do you think Joseon is the country of the Min clan? Will there be no more bloodshed in the future?"
