Jang Hee Bin watches Queen Inhyeon leave the palace in a palanquin from a distance, as Queen Inhyeon takes a last look & enters the palace & carry away as her staff weeps for Queen Inhyeon. Choi Dong Yi sends off Queen Inhyeon to a distance as Choi Dong Yi is holding the evidence & calls out to Queen Inhyeon
Choi Dong Yi recalls that she returns to Internal Bureau of Investigation telling jeong Sang Gung & Bong Sang Gung that Queen Inhyeon “Pyebi” is impossible that she has found the evidence that can prove her innocence that the cheque issue to Heo Joon Il is in fact false (bounced cheque) for the payment of his render service. Choi Dong Yi tells that they must follow this lead in order to find out who has instructed this cheque to be issued. Jeong Sang Gung tells Choi Dong Yi that everything is too late now. Choi Dong Yi tells for her this evidence is a glimmer of hope to overturn Queen Inhyeon’s accusation. Jung Im tells that the royal decree as been decree & there is going to be a state funeral, how Choi Dong Yi going to proceed to investigate this matter further, before Choi Dong Yi can hand this evidence to Sukjong, the evidence would have be destroy by Uigyeombu. Choi Dong Yi tells that she will personally pass this evidence to Sukjong. Jung Im is surprise at her remark. Choi Dong Yi tells she know that Jang Hee Bin has great favour from Sukjong, there was many a times that she wants to utter it out her lips to Sukjong but she couldn’t but however she can no longer able to keep silence about the matter.

The guard tells that no one is able to access from this point. Choi Dong Yi tells that this is important & begs the guard to her be permitted in. The guard refuses & asked her to return.

Choi Dong Yi is shock to learn on what Seo Yong Gi is suggesting to her. Seo Yong Gi advice that Choi Dong Yi conceal the evidence she has at hand. Seo Yong Gi tells just as what the evidence content, this is not the right time to disclose this evidence. Choi Dong Yi can’t understand. Seo Yong Gi tells that Sukjong’s mistrust in Queen Inhyeon is now too embedded; moreover the political authority now resides in Namin faction. A faction that able to depose Queen Inhyeon who is from Seoin faction, this is to mean that Seoin faction has lost out on their political stronghold of the courts & asked whether Choi Dong Yi understand the current political climate that there is nothing that they can do to rectify that situation
Choi Dong Yi asked are they going to just conceal the truth, it is because they are afraid of Namin faction political authority. Seo Yong Gi agrees that they do & they must. In the climate of power & authority the truth will just be useless & blank that is politics. Choi Dong Yi tells that Queen Inhyeon will falsely be depose & render injustice, how can Choi Dong Yi standby & ignore this matter. Seo Yong Gi tells that if she is to divulge this truth to the world, this must be doen publically, that what we have as out last lead will be deem void & futile. Seo Yong Gi tells that Namin faction will use all sort of method to take this investigation, if then, they will lose their last hope & opportunity to do otherwise. Seo Yong Gi tells that does she want to see all this effort goes to waste like a pop bubble. Authority & power can conceal the truth but however it will never able to erase the truth therefore they must trust & believe that truth & patiently wait for an opportunity to arise, as of now they just need to have courage to able to patiently wait & not confront head on with the matter in conflict with them. Choi Dong Yi ahs to accept the blunt truth

Sukjong finds it interesting & wish to listen further as how come all the sudden the circulation has been insufficient & how can this have happened. Do Seong Ji explains the problems lies in……
During Sukjong reign; merchants along the rivers monopolized commodities from the provinces of Gyeonggi & Chungcheong hence those mercantile trading companies & the people that the Jangs sibling represent. Merchants accompanied Envoys (yeokgwan) to China in order to seek opportunities to trade, taking paper, horsehair & otter furs with them. The greater demand for silver and copper stimulated the growth of the mining industry. Wholesale activities created a larger demand for silver & copper which in turn gave impetus to the mining industry. But many Yanban also became involved in commerce, farming, or money-lending to augment their incomes with the rapid development of commerce & industry usually under private control. But traditional Confucian’s attitude frown that commerce and industry were seen as marginal occupations, unworthy of the Yanban. It was then during the reign of Yeongjo that Joseon that, they began to formulate policies to promote the development of commerce, metallurgy, fishing, stock farming, horticulture & mining under governmental state control & not the private sector
During the reign of Sukjong Sangpyeong Tongbo minted in 1678, 4th year of Sukjong that resume calculation that was suspended in 1650s. Sangpyeong Tongbo become the legal tender mint not only by the central government but also the provincial administrative office & military bureau whenever the need arouse that required. A toughened government regulation on the production & circulation was banned private minting that suggests that Joseon straighten out its currency policy by strengthening government control. Sangpyeong Tongbo has the denomination of 1 jeon, 5 jeon & 100 jeon. Sangpyeong Tongbo is a cooper coin who is popular known as Yeop jeon which means leaf coin. The development of commence & rising of productivity & the enactment of law tax spurred the need for nationwide calculation of coins

The coin minting process use in named old hammered coins were made in the first millennium BC using the hammered production method. As well as using the hammered method, many earlier coins were also made using a mould, where one mould was able to produce up to as many as 30 coins at one time. The mould method is well known to have produced, what is known as a “tree of coins” which would usually have a central hole. From there the coins were individually broken off and called cash. The word cash, as we know it today, originated from its colloquial use in China many centuries ago.

Sukjong belly laughs
“Sayak” in Korean and meaning “death medicine,” the poison’s main ingredient is usually arsenic. It is white odourless, colourless powder and it kills by attaching to enzyme protein molecules in the body to suffocate the cells. When taken in lethal dose, arsenic induces vomiting, diarrhea, expansion of blood vessels, and falling blood pressure, which ultimately leads to the paralysis of the central nerve system. The death usually occurs within an hour or two of intake. Other offer used in ingredient will be monkshood or wolfsbane, which has hooded bluish-purple flowers. Its roots contain a toxic alkaloid compound called aconitine, which causes muscle paralysis. The same substance is used on poison arrows in Africa. In Oriental medicine a small dose of wolfsbane processed to be non-toxic was prescribed to people with poor circulation or cold extremities. However, too much of unprocessed wolfsbane or aconitum could literally cook a person from inside, pushing up the blood pressure and body temperature to the point where blood vessels including the ones in the brain to burst. This ingredient was especially lethal when combined with pure gold, honey, ginseng or crab eggs, all of which have hot properties. Death by poison was the capital punishment reserved for high-ranking officials or members of the royal family. During the Joseon Dynasty death sentence was carried out by hanging, decapitation, and poison, among other means, but royal family members and noblemen were spared hanging and decapitation to keep their bodies intact. Those sentenced to death by poison were first banished to remote places and then executed there. The execution process included the accused dressed in clean garb bowing four times toward the direction of the palace to pay his last respect to the king and drinking the poison. An executioner and several assistants attended the execution to make sure that the poison has been administered right and taken effect. Sometimes they even had to force-feed the poison to a resisting prisoner or lock a prisoner in a heated room to facilitate the deadly effect of the drug. Whatever the poisonous mixture was made of, it usually took more than 30 minutes for the drug to take effect. So the scenes where prisoners spew out blood and dies immediately after they drink the poison are inaccurate. For instance, there is a record that scholar Song Shi Yeol during King Sukjong’s reign did not die even after drinking two bowls of poisonous drink, so he had to have all his orifices in the body blocked and made to drink the poison again. We shall see the dramatic scene when Jang Hee Bin does hers
Kudzu root juice is an antidrunkenness remedies in oriental medicine
Oh Ju is Royal Wine
Wine & porridge has the same sound

Sukjong walking with Choi Dong Yi as he is still laughing from the drinks then tells that does Choi Dong Yi know how long has it been that he hasn’t laugh until his heart content & thanked Choi Dong Yi for it. Sukjong never imagine that the comfort & consolation would have come from Choi Dong Yi. Choi Dong Yi accept Sukjong’s praise as Sukjong nods in satisfaction as they continue their stroll. Choi Dong Yi recalls that Sukjong has a fine time in the drinking tavern that he was laughing in belly laugh & riantly & pleased with herself
