The episode, aired on the 2nd, revealed the shocking reason behind Seong Hee-joo's collapse during her wedding ceremony.
Seong Hee-joo was rushed to the emergency room, where she lay with an oxygen mask, while Ian Daegun watched over her with deep concern.
Medical tests revealed that Seong Hee-joo's collapse was due to 'digoxin poisoning.' The doctor warned that an overdose could be fatal, prompting Seong Hyun-guk (played by Jo Seung-yeon) to unexpectedly slap Ian Daegun.
In response, Ian Daegun instructed Min Jung-woo (played by Noh Sang-hyun) to "conduct a thorough investigation. From this moment, I authorize a public investigation into the royal family."
Seong Hee-joo ultimately escaped the brink of death. As she regained consciousness, Ian Daegun held her tightly, tears streaming down his face. He expressed his relief, saying, "Are you safe? I thought you were gone. I thought I lost you. This time, for real," revealing his deep emotions. Seong Hee-joo, with wide eyes, asked, "Are you crying?" as she gazed at Ian Daegun's worried expression.
