Therefore... 00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:57.469 I will send the Chief Censor and Prince Seowon to Mount Cheonu... 00:58:59.304 --> 00:59:01.640 to find conclusive evidence. 00:59:01.807 --> 00:59:02.724 Your Majesty. 00:59:03.350 --> 00:59:06.353 Entrusting Prince Seowon and the Chief Censor with the task 00:59:06.603 --> 00:59:09.856 is akin to entrusting the sheep to the wolves. 00:59:09.940 --> 00:59:12.109 How dare you speak to His Majesty in that manner? 00:59:12.234 --> 00:59:13.068 Your Majesty. 00:59:13.902 --> 00:59:16.279 Leave this matter to the special investigation committee. 00:59:17.197 --> 00:59:19.699 Please reconsider. 00:59:20.033 --> 00:59:21.076 How dare you! 00:59:22.702 --> 00:59:25.372 Are you telling me that you wish to disobey my orders?
