Yi-heon harbors growing conviction that **Consort Kang** is responsible. **The Method:** The poison wasn’t in Ji-yeong’s cooking – it was administered separately, making Jin-myeong’s mother, Dowager Queen In-ju, the key suspect initially. **The Cure:** Medicine fails until Ji-yeong suggests healing through food. Her French-style sujebi broth saves both Yi-heon (who also falls sick) and Jin-myeong. ## Gong-gil’s Sister Murder Mystery Revealed In a parallel storyline, Gong-gil finally uncovers the truth about his sister’s death. Chu-wol, Mok-ju’s maid, killed his sister. When she tries to kill physician Yeo-bun, Gong-gil stops her and hands her over. The guilt drives Mok-ju to suicide. ## The Bigger Palace Conspiracy ### Key Players in the Royal Plot | Character | Role | Motivation | Latest Development | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Prince Je-san** | Conspiracy leader | Power grab | Keeps Jang-gyun alive for hidden reasons | | **Consort Kang** | Poisoner | Eliminate threats | Main suspect in poisoning plot | | **Yi-heon’s Grandmother** | Secret ally | Justice for daughter | Revealed alive with blood-stained evidence | The episodes end with explosive revelations: Yi-heon’s maternal grandmother is revealed alive, holding a blood-stained cloth from the day his mother was poisoned. This suggests the current palace conspiracy has deep historical roots. ## Why These Episodes Are Game-Changers **Character Growth:** Ji-yeong proves her innocence not through defense, but by healing through food – her greatest strength. **Political Intrigue:** The poison plot exposes the dangerous web of palace conspiracies that threaten both love and kingdom. **Romance Elevation:** Yi-heon choosing Ji-yeong over the mystical Mangunrok shows his character transformation.

The real poison was traced to squirrel droppings mixed with ginseng, not her cooking. When both Yi-heon and Jin-myeong fell sick, Ji-yeong’s French-style sujebi broth successfully healed them, demonstrating that her food brings life, not death. This healing approach ultimately convinced even Jin-myeong’s mother of her innocence. ### **Q: What is the significance of Yi-heon giving up the Mangunrok for Ji-yeong?** A: The Mangunrok represents Yi-heon’s quest for ultimate power and knowledge. By declaring “I no longer seek the Mangunrok because I want Ji-yeong,” he’s choosing love over absolute power – a massive character transformation. This decision shows he values their relationship more than mythical power, making his proposal even more meaningful and authentic.
