Later, Song-woo pointed the head physician in Woo-soon's direction as the royal probe got deeper.
Meanwhile, Eul Pa-so and the guards re-examined Woo-soon's chamber and discovered the bottle containing the elixir potion she used to mix in King Nam-mu's food before he died. They re-checked Sa-bi's (the shaman) shrine because the evidence led to her, discovering additional herbs that were used to create the elixir.
Despite being asked by Eul Pa-so, Sa-bi declined to reveal the person to whom she had given the potion. When Eul Pa-so took her away for more questioning, some eunuchs ambushed them en route, which led to Sa-bi's death. Eul Pa-so assumed that whoever assassinated King Nam-mu, is after his life as well.

Woo-hee and Woo-soon both drew their bows after this confrontation. However, Woo-soon ended up getting killed by Woo-hee, who was still processing the betrayal from her own sister. Meanwhile, Bal-ki donned his ornate robes and began plotting with Chang-heon, his loyal man. Bal-ki decided to go to the Royal Palace, capture the queen by himself, and marry her.
Woo-so and Woo-do in the palace worried about the queen coming back. They threatened Eul Pa-so with their swords about the queen's whereabouts. Eul Pa-so calmly told them that the Queen was at Prince Yeon-woo's stronghold.
Bal-ki left the palace and went to the Crown Prince to ask for assistance. Bal-ki's troops were killed by the Crown Prince for breaking into his hideout. However, when Bal-ki told him about King Nam-mu's death, the Crown Prince was ecstatic and decided to take back the throne.

In the meeting, Mo-chi pledged his life to the queen and refused to accept his payment for driving her safely back to the Royal Palace. Woo-hee happily asked Mo-chi to come back to the kingdom and rejoin the Wangdang, which he happily accepted.
At the meeting, Woo-hee declared to head to the battlefront to protect her kingdom, however, Eul Pa-so was unsure if they would prevail since the odds were stacked against them. Mo-gul suggested Woo-hee to win back the trust of the five clans to win a quick victory. She agreed and sent the traditional five bronze swords to each clan to ask for their loyalty to her.
Woo-hee informed the Jwa clan about their daughter’s death at the hands of her husband, Bal-ki. She won the support of the Jwa Family and also the loyalty of the Eastern families. Meanwhile, Prince Bal-ki reinforced his troops with the support of the Hae clan and the warriors' troops. Despite his will, the fifth prince, Go Gye-su, gave his support to the queen to honor his brother, Nam-mu's memories.
