Deok Man feels with anxiety but then pluck courage in determination. Seok Bum comes with his men as they surrounded the place where Deok Man is in. Seok Bum greets Chil Sook that they rush here as fast as he can after receiving Chil Sook’s message. San Tak report that they have surrounded the area & asked whether they need to storm in. Chil Sook step forwards & shouts to the occupant inside as traitor to mark his words to lay down their weapon & surrender in the name of king Jinpyeong’s imperial decree. Wyol Ya takes a peek at the window to look at the situation outside & tells that they have completely surrounded the whole area. So Hwa asked Deok Man what are they supposed to do now. Deok Man is trying to thinks hard as Chil Sook shouts that unless they surrender & come out quietly from hiding, they will storm in to arrest them according to warrant. If they resist then it will be the imminent death to them
Cho Bu is warrant
Seok Bum suggests that they storm in as all are set & ready. Chil Sook said that they have not ascertained the situation inside that they don’t know who they are & how many are in there that they can’t determine as yet. Chil Sook asked his men to just prepare for the attack. San Tak acknowledged Chil Sook’s order. Kim Yu Shin suggests that he will pave the way out to break out. Deok Man is surprise as Kim Yu Shin is in no condition to do any fighting as he asked Wyol Ya to lead Deok man out of here. Wyol Ya asked whether Kim Yu Shin has heard that the person outside is none other than Wonsanghwa, Chil Sook. In Kim Yu Shin present condition, it is out of the question to fight with him. Kim Yu Shin asked what alternative can he suggest that they do out of their predicament. Kim Yu Shin fear that if they manage to arrest Princess Deok Man all will be & everything will end. Deok Man said there is a way & she will find that way. Kim Yu Shin said that they don’t have the time to go finding. Wyol Ya goes to take a 2nd look outside the window. Wyol Ya tells that there too many in number of them out there. So Hwa then comes up with a plan & asked if they can use this method, can this work. Deok Man looks at So Hwa.

Deok Man persist that she will not agree as it is too dangerous a plan & she will never allow it. So Hwa said as of now, we are all in a dangerous situation & asked Deok Man to proceed with it. Wyol Ya concurs that it is the only alternative open to them & asked her to agree. Deok Man tells off Wyol Ya that he concurs with So Hwa. Deok Man still persist to disagree as So Hwa begs Deok Man to go for it as they isn’t any alternative for them to choose. Deok Man said that she will find that alternative, So Hwa said they don’t have the time to find one, they needs to move this quickly. Deok man still resist to agree.

Chil Sook said that someone is inside that he exhibit matchless adeptness with the sword. Kim Yu Shin is injured so there must be someone else in there who is skilled. Seok Bum said if it then do they need to increase & double the group & storm in.

Chil Sook goes & sneak into Deok Man’s hiding & finds the quarter empty as they search through the rooms kicking all doors. Someone is peeking through a slit as Chil Sook upset to come out empty handed. Then Kim Yu Shin hiding in one of the room ambushed Chil Sook’s men who doing the room search & kills them that got Chil Sook’s attention. Chil Sook rush then finds Kim Yu Shin at the corridor.

So Hwa with her last breath
So Hwa: Chil Sook… Rang…
Chil Sook: So Hwa (whisper)…
So Hwa: It seems that we…..be this as the end for us that we can’t do anything about
Chil Sook cries for So Hwa as So Hwa struggles with life

Princess Man Myeong informs that Princess Deok Man is safe that nothing ill has happen to her. King Jinpyeong is glad & asked how did she finds out about the news. Princess Man Myeong said that Chil Sook has taken his men & left but it seems they has come back unsucessful in their mission without conclusive results. Queen Maya said that it is a relief to hear & asked how did Princess Man Myeong able to access into In Gang Jeon. Princess Man Myeong said that it is nothing money can bribe as she bribe a Eunuch to give her a moment with them. Princess Man Myeong said even if Mi Shil has knowledge of it, she will not able to do a thing about it. Princess Man Myeong said if she does anything to her, it would prove that she is keeping King Jinpyeong under house arrest in In Gang Jeon.

Joo Bang asked Wyol Ya what is wrong as Joo bang pester Wyol Ya for answer & asked him to answer Deok Man’s question at once. Wyol Ya tells to accept his apologies as his answer as Deok Man overcome by her worst fear
Seok Bum reports on the incident as Mi Saeng is shock that they use a lure to trick them. Seok Bum confirms that they use a lure to make them think that it was Princess Deok Man. Chil Sook went after her & kill her thinking it was her but in the end it wasn’t her & in the meanwhile Princess Deok Man managed to escape. Ha Jong can’t believe the incompetent of their people’s capabilities that they keep losing Deok Man every time they want to catch her. Mi Shil makes a guess whether it is perhaps by any chance the person turns out to be the Princess’ Nanny & the person who got slew is So Hwa. Seok Bum affirms the fact. Mi Shil compares the entity between Chil Sook & So Hwa
Deok Man runs to see So Hwa where Wyol Ya has brought her body in a cart. Deok man straddles towards the cart & unfolds the sheet that is covering her body.

Deok Man tells that the whole world where else can she finds a person like So Hwa. Deok Man asked where in this world there are mothers who get to be dead twice & asked how can So Hwa do this to her as Deok Man cries for the lost of her mother & wails for her to wake up. Everybody around her sadden by Deok man’s lost. Kim Yu Shin tries to give Deok Man console but hesitates
Yeom Jong looking at the tragic scene from a distance & sighs as he tells Bi Dam that this is the fate & destiny that awaits people like them that they spend their lives serving someone…& in the ends this is how they will meet their end & sigh that this is life. Bi Dam look space out
Chil Sook stands in from of the memorial tablet of pass Hwa Rang at Hwa Sa Dang as Mi Shil comes as Chil Sook greet her as she asked what is Chil Sook doing here. Chil Sook mentioned the deceased Hwa Rang like Yi Hwa Rang, Mo Rang, Gwi San Rang…even Sadaham Rang, just like those names there is display on those tablets that he may be one day that his name may grace this hall in the form of a memorial tablet. Mi Shil asked if that what Chil Sook is wishing for. Chil Sook said isn’t that to be something for the person to aim to aspire & dreams of that makes life durable to live on. Mi Shil looks at Chil Sook as Chil Sook relay his story that he was 16 years old & was a taken slave prisoner of war at the Goguryeo prison camp where they were about to buried him alive when Mi Shil & her army came to liberate them & the camp & she rescue his life when he was on the brink of death & dug him out of the pits. From that day onwards he vow that his life be solely render to Mi Shil. Mi Shil asked therefore….Chil Sook continues after myriad of war & battles & he found almost to a dead fight with Moon Noh, the incident in the Taklamakan Desert…that he face death in that sandstorm. Mi Shil said that Chil Sook has many a time escape those conjunctures that venture almost in his death. Chil Sook claims that he first believe the thought that he was so lucky each time that he is now still alive. Mi Shil then asked however as Chil Sook continues that in truth he actually lost & miss his chances of opportunity to meet his death in each time as Chil Sook tells her that he will make sure that he wouldn’t miss his chance to do so the next time. Mi Shil asked him that is fine & he will as he wishes. Mi Shil leaves as Chil Sook greets her farewell. Mi Shil then leave but stop to asked a question why Chil Sook allows to let Wyol Ya go. Chil Sook replies that it is because there will be nobody left to take her body back. Mi Shil tells that he did well as Mi Shil know & choke with emotion that she has lost Chil Sook to So Hwa that So Hwa zap Chil Sook soul in her death to have taken Chil Sook feelings & that Mi Shil never has from Chil Sook, she has to competitor for Chil Sook’s feelings
Deok Man buries her mother as Joo Bang cries at So Hwa mounts as Deok Man standing beside it as he asked Deok Man that this can’t happened & what a life is that & how could a life ends so tragic as she serve in servitude with such loyalty & then to leave this world so tragically as Joo Bang has a premonition on So Hwa but if he was her, he would have run away from it all but for a person so weak & benevolence that she is for sure. Deok Man tells that her mother is not type of a person weak & benevolence as compare to Deok Man; she is far stronger than her that she always in all her life have been stronger than Deok Man, in the desert it was, in Silla it was too, for her sake & because of her, she has force So Hwa to become stronger. Deok Man firms up her determination. Bi Dam looks at a distance to see Deok Man having a private moment with her grief. Bi Dam wants to approach her but Kim Yu Shin stops him not to go near. Bi Dam is looking at a distance as she wept profusely behind a tree & he can’t bear to see her so hurt. Kim Yu Shin said that he too can’t bear to see her cry but Deok Man doesn’t want to show them that weak side of her. Kim Yu Shin said he can’t look Deok Man straight in the eyes. Bi Dam said don’t mentioned that that everybody will stake their live to escape to survive. Deok Man finished with her weeping then wipes her tears & gets up to see Kim Yu Shin & Bi Dam at a distance
Yeom Jong tells that they should seek to find & transfer Princess Deok Man to a safer haven as this is the subject of their discussion. Wyol Ya said that it is indeed that Bo Gya Hoe’s mountain refuge has the fitting & the manpower to secure the area & provided a defense as it was create military seige as a concepts from the start for & it will be great location to make as a base for their plans as it is also an ideal logistics near Seorabeol
So Hwa’s death is like the mother passing her strength to her daughter Deok Man whom she raised
Deok Man: As of now….there will be none to harbour refuge in. I will not flee to seek harbour.
Kim Yu Shin asked what is Deok Man implying in her remark. Deok man will broadcast to everybody that she has survive the ordeal & will gather cumulate her support & she will not flee but will march courageously forward as Kim Chun Chu disagree & oppose. Mi Shil would have settle to establish her position within 3 days as time is now in their bestowed favour, the longer the exorbitant state of emergency & martial law persist & prolong in duration it will arouse suspicion on the mind of the people & the nobility. Deok Man asked what then. Kim Chun Chu said that even though Princess Deok Man seek to harboured herself for the time being; they still have the essence of time in their favour & soon the wave of tide will ours to ride
Wi Guk Ryeong – decree of the State of emergency
Kim Chun Chu asked Deok Man to await patiently for the opportunity. Deok Man asked her faction whether they concurs with the same thoughts. Deok Man agrees that Kim Chun Chu has stated is correct & precise in his analysis but however as she pause that this may incident that is about to happened if she waits or harbour herself & she feels that she may not able to bear to watch as the event passes by, with the grievance of impose from martial law that render suffering to the population of Silla. This frustration & disappointment for the people who loyally follow her that they now are facing the brink of death at Seorabeol for in which time & elsewhere had plunge to sacrifice their lives to protect her at all cost like those people sitting present with her, now in that she can’t no longer standby & watch to accept any of this to happened. Deok Man declare that she would neither flee or harbour herself
Kim Yu Shin has a private moment with Deok Man to say that she can’t proceed with it. Deok Man tells that what Mi Shil is not able to do, but they can do so, this is the greatest advantage & strength they possess. Mi Shil is in actual fact is more powerful than them but however this Mi Shil can’t never be split into 2 entity but they for sure will be able to split to 2 spheres & the reason they have Kim Chun Chu with them. Kim Chun Chu & her, they is the both of them. Kim Yu Shin said that Deok Man must not her let her emotion take control of her decision being so reckless & be patient that they can’t do that. Deok Man reiterate that she has mentioned that she no longer can accept what is happening. Kim Yu Shin as a Sovereign she can’t act in reckless manner. Deok Man said she must & will. Kim Yu Shin disagrees. Deok Man asked how many more lives…is needed that must be sacrificed for the sake to protect her & sent many to their death. Deok man said that they still have Kim Chun Chu & that is fortunate for them but Kim Yu Shin still think it is too dangerous a risk. Deok Man said that she has realise as she finally found this out today. Deok Man said that there is nothing in life in comparison that is more dangerous than survival itself towards Kim Yu Shin, her & for everybody else
Se Jong gets news that the Tang Dynasty emissary is coming & asked if this is true. Ha Jong confirm that it seem & has said that they have arrive at Dang Hang Fortress
Dan Hang Fortress is the present Hwa Seong, Gyeonggi Province
Ha Jong said that this is really depressing as they need to come at this moment to be a damper
Mi Saeng said that Tang Dynasty has united the whole of China. There founding is less than a decade old. This is their 1st emissary mission to their nation & the emissary will come here with great spur of enthusiasm of zest
Tang Dynasty founded in AD 618. So we will think now the drama it is a circa year of AD 628. Queen Seon Deok will reign from AD 632-647. The Tang Dynasty reigning Emperor is Tang Tai Zong
Se Jong said that this will be baneful predicament for Mi Shil to handle the affairs of the Tang emissary & in particularly at this period of time. Se Jong asked how are they going to go about the reception of the Tang emissary & have they gone to discuss the details of this matter to Mi Shil. Mi Saeng said that Mi Saeng said that as they all know as the facts that currently Mi Shil is preoccupied with the perplexity of the matter in regards to Princess Deok Man. Mi Saeng said that he dare not bring the subject up to her yet. Ha Jong sighs that the emissary will be in the palace ground by tomorrow. Ha Jong said whatever it is said, this matter has become somewhat nettlesome to handle. Se Jong in regards to the matter that Silla is now under state of emergency & martial law, they need to sincerely & honestly explain to Tang Emissary the reasons that speculate the action & hope for their understanding. Mi Saeng said that all they can do is only to acquiesce every request they make to their satisfaction. In this moment of time handling this matter comply passively & without utters of protest & disagreement is best solution in dealing with them
Deok Man with Kim Yu Shin tells him that according to Yeom Jong’s findings that the Tang emissary will arrive at the capital by tomorrow. Mi Shil will definitely receive the emissary mission & through her reception she portray & persuade that the state of emergency & martial law is justify & will show her authority that she will relay to the Tang emissary state of emergency as a temporary measure that. Deok Man said that it will be tomorrow & asked Kim Yu Shin to be prepared. Kim Yu Shin calls Deok Man as Deok Man asked what is it but Kim Yu Shin brush it off as nothing as he will make preparation as instructed. Kim Yu Shin about to leave when Deok Man calls him as Kim Yu Shin answer her. Deok Man asked if by any chance perhaps something were to happened to her, she will consign Kim Chun Chu’s care to Kim Yu Shin. Kim Yu Shin beg for forgiveness for his impertinence but he will pretend that the didn’t hear what Deok Man has just said as he trust that nothing is going to happened to Deok Man. Kim Yu Shin assures that he will not allow anything to happen to her. Kim Yu Shin leaves
Chil Sook informs Mi Shil that Baek Eui has received a letter from Deok Man, he trust that the rest of the Hwa Rang captains have also all receive the similar type of content in the letter sent. Seol Won Rang said that Deok Man might also use the same tactics to persuade the nobility with the same concepts to cumulate her support. If we let this persist then they will be some of the nobility start to shake & stir & will deflect to her favour in support. Chil Sook said that he has tries all sort of method & way in looking for her whereabouts everywhere but they still have no sight or any hint of her. Chil Sook asked what is she so deep in thought that it is giving her concern. Mi Shil said that Deok Man must not be brought to the capital under arrest alive She as the mastermind for the insurgency, she will resist the arrest & will meet in a bitter end as a result & dies courageously in her attempt as this is what the history will write about her
Mi Saeng & Ha Jong escorting the Tang emissary mission into Seorabeol. Then suddenly kite float above the sky as the kites attracted the public eyes as well as the Tang emissary, each other the kites old a load as they wonder what the attachment in the kites is then the kites simultaneously burst & drop its pamphlets load like rain as everyone picks up a dropping copy & reads. Mi Saeng & Ha Jong can’t do anything to stop it & gets a copy to have a read
Wow, using modern war tactics with airborne leaflet propaganda one of the function is to disseminate or counter disinformation, reduce enemy morale through propaganda & neutralize enemy propaganda.
Leaflet: To my fellow courageous & loyal Silla citizen, we need your assistance please voice your grievances & discontentment & to rescue his Majesty the King in Seorabeol. Gaeyang Proprietor Deok Man & Gaeyang Proprietor lineal descendant
Mi Saeng reads the pamphlet that to say Rescue… His Majesty then Mi Saeng turns around to finds that the Tang Emissary had obtain a copy of the pamphlet. Ha Jong is in panic. Hwa Rang captain reads the same pamphlet content “To my fellow courageous & loyal Silla citizen, we need your assistance please voice your grievances & discontentment & to rescue his Majesty the King in Seorabeol. Gaeyang Proprietor Deok Man & Gaeyang Proprietor lineal descent Chun Chu” as Deok Chung is reading it. Then they query on the “Rescue His Majesty”. Phil Dan asked what is suppose the meaning of “Rescue His Majesty”. Baek Eui asked whether it is suggesting that King Jinpyeong is somewhat confine under house arrest in Seorabeol. Ho Jae said that moreover Princess Deok Man has been arrested yet. Then the Hwa Rang captain asking for Ho Jae views on what is going to be next. Ho Jae said that Princess Deok Man is said to be accuse of staging an insurgency but however there is a lot of circumstantial evidences that suggest otherwise that they need to examine.
Seok Bum who is there defended what circumstantial evidences that suggest otherwise that they need to examine as it is true that Deok Man did stage an insurgency against the nation & this was skillful suppress by Mi Shil with success. Ho Jae said there are too many rumour that is speculating around therefore creating & throwing confusion over what is true. Im Jong adds that it is mentioned that Princess Deok Man has asked the people to “Rescue His Majesty” & isn’t it a sounding call & order for all Hwa Rang from her. Seok Bum reminds them not to utter such sensitive political speculation during martial law as being dangerous. Im Jong reminds Seok Bum that Princess Deok Man is the proprietor of Hwa Rang but Seok Bum debates that the proprietor has stage an insurgency against the state. Deok Chung said that this is still haven’t been verified or justify whether this is a true fact & it is too early to tell. Seok Bum tell that the rest of them are acting might suspiciously. Seok Bum asked whether they has forgotten what Mi Shil has done for them & is there anyone of them present who didn’t benefit from her benevolence. Deok Chung affirms that they all has receive Mi Shil’s benevolence but however the reason that they take her lead is that she has never once acted outside the boundary of righteousness & justice in virtue. Phil Dan concurs that it is correct as he said that the Hwa Rang will not follow her lead if it was for her personal impulse in her agenda. This is because Se Jong has done no wrong in which Mi Shil is fully aware of this principle than anyone here. Seok Bum knows that Hwa Rang are doubting Mi Shil
One of the Daedeung Sueulbu is reading Deok Man’s pamphlet but hides it away as Lord Jujin comes in but Lord Jujin asked whether he has seen the pamphlet. Sueulbu asked whether if it is this letter & brings it out. Sueulbu can guess that the matter has come to this stage he wonder if Mi Shil must be really be so stressful as Lord Jujin adds that not to mention that the fact it has happened in public & also landed right in front of the Tang Emissary that enter the capital, it like killed 2 bird in one stone & the news will spread like rapid wild fire. Sueulbu said that the palace has already brewing by the spread of the news & stir up chaos. Sueulbu believe that they can’t explain this incident fully & clearly but then after gradually the nobility will start to query & the number wouldn’t be small. Lord Jujin asked what Sueulbu is going to reply to the nobility. Sueulbu clearly tell them that they are under state of emergency & advice them that they need to be cautious. Lord Jujin said that it should be so & laughs & excuse himself after getting a favourable answer from Sueulbu
Mi Shil crushes Deok Man’s pamphlet & asked how far extent these leaflet was being circulated. Mi Saeng replies that as the tang emissary was entering the capital it burst from the sky with a “ppong” & fall into them, although they tries to collect back as much as they can by using the soldiers at once, but it is for certain that the rumours has spread far & wide to all the corner of the nation. Mi Shil asked whether the emissary read the pamphlet. Mi Saeng said that not only they has seen & read it but they even has heard the version of the whisper & mutter from the people. Mi Saeng said that they has explained clearly that the state of emergency & the declaration of martial law was done on the reason that Princess Deok Man has stage an insurgency but then this pamphlet has fallen right on their laps as Mi Saeng said that Mi Shil can’t believe how bewildered everyone were

The Tang emissary & Mi Shil having a private discussion as Mi Saeng is surprise as Mi Saeng asked that to excuse him for being rude & to asked the Tang emissary to repeat what he has just said. Tang emissary tells that it is 1,000 guan of gold
Guan is Tang dynasty currency worth 100 nyang per guan
Mi Saeng translate to Mi Shil of what the Tang emissary asked from them as 1,000 guan in gold. Tang emissary said that the Tang Dynasty Emperor will take this amount as a token of the long & friendly relationship between Tang & Gyerim. Mi Shil asked if they were to render this 1,000 guan of gold what will Tang Dynasty render to them in return to engage to have a long & friendly relationship. The Tang emissary said that the Great Tang Dynasty will give them fraternal unity. Mi Saeng whisper to asked Mi Shil to give her consent without any protest as now the most important matter is to solve this as soon as possible as a wise move. Mi Saeng tells that 1,000 guan of gold surpasses even that national production output in their country. Mi Shil concurs that she regrets to admit that the amount is impracticable. Mi Saeng reminds her sister stand down. The Tang emissary said that on their journey here, they saw something that arouses their interest & curiousity. The Tang emissary produce one of Deok Man’s pamphlet as Mi Saeng is shock & tries to pacify the situation that Sill is unfortunate to have such bothersome predicaments but Mi Saeng said that this is a domestic affairs of their country. The Tang Emissary concurs that this is Silla domestic affairs, but don’t they think that they may require the assistance from their fraternal country to qualms this bothersome. We will not disguise & hide the truth from them is that Tang Dynasty has express great interest in the current Silla domestic affairs. Mi Saeng asked Mi Shil to accede to their request & get this over with
Mi Shil to pardon her being direct that she is aware that the Tang emissary is proficient in the Silla language unlike your esteemed colleague that is next to him. Mi Shil is aware that in diplomatic discussion that envoy need to conduct in their native language during these discussion & against rule of diplomatic discussion but then Mi Shil will like to do a transaction with the Tang emissary in private & asked will he permit to do so. Mi Saeng asked what is his sister trying to get at. The Tang emissary revert to Silla language & asked that Mi Shil will like to discuss the matter in private with him. The Tang emissary whisper to his colleagues & the colleagues leaves with the interpreter . Mi Saeng also had to leave the table but worry that his sister will be rash
The Tang emissary & Mi Shil glare at each other as Mi Saeng leaves asked what is there to do….Mi Saeng notice Mi Shil’s glances in her gaze. Then Tang emissary query what the pamphlet has said in its content that the King Jinpyeong is under house arrest & Princess Deok Man is falsely being frame for treason & asked if this is true. Mi Shil asked if she were to admit that it is true. Tang emissary is that suggest that it is called usurpation. Mi Shil then question that isn’t it so or not that the Tang Dynasty emperors also ascend the dragon throne in an usurpation
Let me give you a brief of Chinese history during this period where the reign of Emperor Aui Yang Di of the Sui Dynasty (AD581-618), there when numerous peasant rebellions shook the foundations of the Sui empire. Sui Yang Di also venture war campaign with Goguryeo from AD 598-614 known as the Goguryeo-Sui Wars that eventually spell the defeat & the end of the Sui Dynasty & also makes Goguryeo venerable military in which this conflict was carry on later Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan the founder of Tang Dynasty Emperor Tang Gao Zu was installed as appeasing commissioner of the north western region and as temporary regent of Taiyuan to prevent the Turks (Tujue) from intruding onto Chinese soil, and in order to put down the rebellions. In 617 he staged an revolt himself, supported by Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing & his sons Li Jian Cheng & Li Shi Min. In absence of the Sui emperor who was busy somewhere else, the rebels took the capital Chang’an (now the modern day Xi’an), deposed Emperor Yang Di and installed the Prince of Dai, Yang You, as the new emperor (later gave a posthumous title Sui Gong Di). Shortly later, Sui Yang Di was killed, and Li Yuan (posthumous title Tang Gao Zu) founded his Dynasty to be known as Tang Dynasty in the ended the Sui Dynasty. The first task of the new founded dynasty was to put down the rebellions, first that of Xue Ju in the northwest, then the northeast, the Gansu corridor & the usurpers Dou Jian De & Wang Shi Chong in the Yellow River plain, then Du Fu Wei in the River Huai area. Then by AD 625 most of the territory of China was occupied by the Tang Dynasty. Only one year later Li Shi Min charged a plot against the crown prince, killed his brothers and forced his own father abdicate in his favour to resume the throne. In AD 628 Li Shi Min proclaimed himself emperor (posthumous title Tang Tai Zong). This is also an important to factor that contribute to the unification of the 3 kingdom under Unified Silla were due to these external factors & Silla was just the smarter or the luckier ones to reaps up be prize. So this is true that Tang Dynasty was founded on an usurpation that they killed Emperor Sui Yang Di for the throne. Although Sui Yang Di was notorious but he gave China the greatest water canal system know as the Gran Canal
The Tang emissary was upset on Mi Shil being so direct & rude. Mi Shil said on the perspective of The Sui Imperial family of Yang will clearly state that the Tang Dynasty emperors did indeed usurpation on their throne. Then Tang Emissary asked therefore that Mi Shil suggest that the Tang Dynasty seize the mandate of heaven from The Sui Imperial family of Yang. Mi Shil argues & debates that the whether or not that their emperor able to rule his dynasty will be decided by the Emperor’s personal conduct of being righteousness. So Mi Shil tells that she still doesn’t her road to the future will unfolds in what manner as of yet. The Tang emissary asked how can a mere tart from northern frontier state dare to discuss upon Tang Dynasty mandate of heaven or their grand ambition & does Mi Shil even know what kind of contemptible slander that she is uttering from the mouth of hers. Mi Shil is just a wench that doesn’t to be on par to discuss such matter to him.
Mi Shil tells that Tang emissary is not qualify to discuss or to debate such matter with her. If they need to discuss such matter with her , the least that it qualify to discuss this will be that he has to bring Li Shi Min who will be most appropriate to personally come to the table of discussion
Li Shi Min is Tang Tai Zong, 2nd Emperor of Tang Dynasty reign AD 626-649
Tang Emissary is upset over Mi Shil insolence suggestion. The Tang emissary threaten that does she wish to see the Tang Army trample Gyerim to make her come to her sense. Mi Shil asked whether the Tang emissary came to Gyerim as an envoy is to threaten military invasion then Mi Shil will treat this discussion on the implication to declare war on each other & the Tang emissary must be fully aware that when a country is being issue the declaration of war, it general reaction is 1st to slaughter Tang emissary of the foe country & then behead his head for his colleagues to sent back to its country as trophy, how would that be as she has just stated. Tang emissary was taken aback from Mi Shil’s threat. The Tang emissary laughs that he will convey to his Emperor that it the far Eastern sea where Gyerim lies; there is an outstanding female that her country is worthy of Tang’s fraternal unity & long lasting friendship & relationship as ally of Tang Dynasty. Tang emissary leaves & apologise if his words were shrewd & had offended Mi Shil in anyway, he asked for Mi Shil’s forgiveness. Mi Shil thanked the emissary with her gratitude
Mi Saeng has over heard of the debate with Mi Shil & the Tang emissary at the corridor & praise her sister of her excellent negotiation skill. The Deok Man under disguise as one of the guards called out to Mi Shil but she doesn’t hear her as Mi Saeng said that she can’t know how anxious he was when during her parley with the emissary. Deok Man calls out to Mi Shil as Mi Shil doesn’t hear Deok Man calling as she tells her brother what is there to be so jubilant about until now Deok Man has yet to be found 7 asked MI Saeng to summon Seol Won Rang to see her. Mi Saeng acknowledge. Deok Man pushes a potted plant to attract Mi Shil attention as the pot smashes to the floor & Deok Man shouts calling Mi Shil. Mi Saeng asked what is the commotion about as the guards draw their sword as Deok Man steps out to reveal herself to Mi Shil
Deok Man….with the smirk in her smile to suggest “Ta Dah, it is I, Deok Man” right at Mi Shil’s doorstep with the Tang emissary present to witness it. Mi Saeng is shock at Deok Man appearance so are the other Daedeungs present just as shock. Deok Man throw down her arms to surrender. Deok Man smiles in a self satisfied manner at a shock Mi Shil over her presence.
