Oh Wol pretends to faint in order to distract the situation. They bring her inside the house and when Lee Gun leaves, Oh wol tells her they kidnapped her thinking she was Myung Yoon in order to get revenge against Lord Choi.
Hearing this, Myung Yoon confronts Lee Gun outside saying that her lady regrets saving him because of how he chose to repay her but unexpectedly, Lee Gun apologizes for taking his anger out on her especially since she was only following orders. He plans to escape the fortress walls so Myung Yoon tells him she has a way to make him leave without being discovered.
Meanwhile, Dosung is left in confusion ever since Lord Choi told him about Myung Yoon marrying the crown prince. The magistrate approaches him, letting him know that the crown prince might soon be found. But Dosung pretends that he doesn’t care, announcing that he has done his bit to help Lee Gun so if he’s caught, it’s none of his business. He lies that they are now enemies but in secret, he and the king’s guard secretly dispose of the soldiers searching for Lee Gun.
Moo Baek finds the letter Myung Yoon left in her room apologizing to her father for running away until the bride selection is over. He orders Moo Baek angrily to find his daughter before the royal bride selection.
Meanwhile, Myung Yoon has Lee Gun and Gap Seok pretend to be sick from a contagious plague. Her thug friend helps to transport them and due to this, the guards at the fortress walls let them through. Lee Gun pays the thug with gold and after he leaves, he tells the girls that it’s time to part and thanks them for their help but Myung Yoon suddenly offers to follow them till they reach their destination lying that her lady is concerned for their safety. (She should admit it’s because she wants to be with Lee Gun)
Both Oh wol and Lee Gun are against the idea but Gap Seok think it’s convenient for the girls to follow and help them out. He drags Myung Yoon with him leaving the other two no other choice.
Gap Seok is happy with the development. He wanted to kidnap Lord Choi’s daughter but she ended up coming with them voluntarily. Lee Gun expresses his concern over their well being since they don’t even have a place to stay that night.
Meanwhile, Myung Yoon pleads with Oh wol to keep up with things and pretend they are on a trip for now, claiming that she has to take care of Lee Gun’s wounds. Oh wol finds her suspicious the more she talks but she agrees nonetheless.
After Moo Baek beats up Myung Yoon’s thugs, the leader confesses that he helped Myung Yoon cross the fortress gates with two men. He easily identifies Lee Gun’s portrait and when Moo Baek reports back to Lord Choi, he’s aghast that Myung Yoon is with Lee Gun. This circumference could ruin all his plans. He urges Moo Baek to find them as quickly as possible.
Lee Gun sees a cave where they could rest for the night. He privately asks Myung Yoon to leave with her lady if she isn’t comfortable but Myung Yoon says she would take care of her lady. She smiles to herself when Lee Gun asks how she is. She replies she’s fine and leaves lightheartedly.
Meanwhile, the queen is suspicious of all the physicians attending to the king so she sends her court lady to Dosung to get her a physician who isn’t affiliated to Lord Choi. Dosung sends her the physician who is currently treating Sang Soo. But on their way, They are caught by the Queen dowager’s court lady who tries to stop them but the queen’s court lady reminds her that the Queen is in charge of the internal court and so there’s nothing she can do.
However, while the physician is attending to the king, Left state councilor, queen dowager and Lord Choi storm inside to prevent treatment by pretending they are concerned that the king is being treated by an outsider. Left state councillor has the physician sent away and the Queen dowager orders Lord Choi to check on the king. Just as he’s about to, the Queen orders the king’s guard to kill Lord Choi if he so much as harms the king. This shocks everyone. Lord Choi checks on the king and confirms his pulse is weak.
Sensing the queen’s animosity towards her, the Queen dowager asks to speak with her in private. Alone, the queen dowager asks if she hates her. The queen admits that she hates her so much she can hardly breathe. She thought she feared her so avoided her but upon seeing her now, all she feels is anger. She calls her a beast for deceiving her and destroying her family. She says she would no longer be fooled by her innocent face and vows never to forgive her if she hurts her family. The Queen dowager decides to leave and as she’s on her way, the Queen shouts that although she’s weak, she shouldn’t forget that she’s still the Queen of the kingdom. (Tell her Queen!!!)
Myung Yoon and the others spend the night in the cave. The next morning, Myung Yoon sees Gap seok’s flexible martial arts skills and is impressed. Jealous, Lee Gun tries to impress her as well but ends up rupturing his wounds which leads Myung Yoon to scold him. She tells him to follow her to the market to get him new bandages but in the market, Lee Gun and Gap seok see their wanted poster. Realizing they would soon be recognized, they decide to disguise themselves. Gap Seok dresses as a young master while Lee Gun dresses as a peasant.
However, he’s still so handsome that Myung Yoon suggests putting a bit of charcoal on his face. But while trying to do that, she gets mesmerized momentarily by his looks until she snaps herself out of it. The two tease each other while trying to apply the charcoal on their faces as Gap seok and Oh wol watch.
Myung Yoon also changes into lady’s clothes and when Lee Gun sees her, he is stunned by her beauty. Gap seok suggests they should act like husband and wife since they look rich but Lee Gun, jealous insists they should be siblings, a ridiculous idea since they don’t look alike at all but Lee Gun is dogged in his resolve so they accept it but Myung Yoon secretly smiles at this.
They continue their journey, stopping at a wilderness where they settle themselves. Lee Gun reminisces about his past with his family when they played in an icy snow. Myung Yoon notices but leaves him to be alone. The four end up coming across an old hut. That night, they sleep together and because of Oh wol and Gap Seok, Lee Gun and Myung Yoon end up very close to each other.
Meanwhile, the left state councilor plots with the magistrate to fake the royal seal so that they can make Dosung crown prince. However, the magistrate is very uncomfortable with that.
Myung Yoon gets a fever from the cold so the next day, they take her to a physician who treats her. He offers to give them food and lodging. Myung Yoon is unconscious so Oh wol and Gap seok eat to their fill except for Lee Gun who has no appetite. Unknown to them, the physician had identified Lee Gun and Gap seok as wanted people so secretly called the soldiers.
Myung Yoon wakes up to find Oh wol and Gap Seok unconscious. She rushes out to search for Lee Gun but it’s too late. The soldiers surround them. Although they manage to fight, their efforts are in vain.
