Finally, the King and Dong Yi are reunited. He then hides her at a royal place outside the palace. Then, Dong Yi gives the evidence that proves Jang Ok Jeong and her accomplices are involved in the Queen's dethronement to the King. Now, he knows who is guilty and when he returns to the palace, he ignores Jang Ok Jeong. She is very surprised of the King's behaviour and she then realises that Dong Yi is alive. The case against the Queen is reopened and Chief Seo is being promoted to Head of the King's Royal Guards. The Tribunal and the Head of Treasury is investigated. Finally, the King has all the proof all the guilty parties including Jang Hee Jae are arrested.

In order to make Jang Hee Jae and his accomplices to confess their crime, they are being tortured. But, Jang Ok Jeong still refuses to admit the charges and blames the King for her actions. Then, she orders Oh Tae Seok to kill Dong Yi. So, Southern Faction refuses to accept Dong Yi's evidence because she is a servant and ask her to be handed to them. The King however makes her a special court lady so that everyone will treat her with respect.

Dong Yi's life changes instantly. But, she thinks that she has no right to be a Special Court Lady. Furthermore, she also worried that the King find out about her past. Then, the King visits her and confesses that he loved her. He also gives her a ring. But, Dong Yi's promotion is not being taken kindly by some. One of them, Jang Ok Jeong sees an opportunity to negotiate her brother's release in exchange for the Southern Faction to accept Dong Yi as Special Court Lady. The King accepts the offer. Later on, Dong Yi sneaks out from the palace. The King thinks that she has run away but she has gone to pay respect to her late father. The King finds her and assures her that her past is not important to him.
