He decides to bring out the exit and entry logs of the palace to find out the person involved. After going through the files rigorously, he finally sees that Jo Myeong-im’s entry and exit matched the requirements. He quickly goes to check on her, only to find that she has killed herself.

As this episode of Moon Rivers continues, the Qing boy arrives for questioning. Yi-kang asks him about the Zhen bird and finds out about the bird’s “homing instinct” which they can use. Hong-nan then speaks to Yi-kang about protecting Dal-i. She gets angry at him, indicating that Dal-i is getting impacted because of him. Yi-kang tells her that this time he would be protecting Dal-i with all his heart.

On the other hand, Han-chul gets informed by his subordinates about Yi-kang’s decision to take Dal-i as a concubine. He decides to test whether Yi-kang has any feelings for Dal-i. He calls Dal-i to speak to him. Hearing that Han-chul has called Dal-i to speak to him, he promptly goes to see if Dal-i is harmed. Seeing Yi-kang’s behavior towards the situation, Han-chul understands that he has feelings for her.

Yi-kang then tells Dal-i about his plans, which makes Dal-i want to get involved. However, Yi-kang refuses right away. He does not want to put Dal-i in any more danger. This time, Yi-kang is determined to take down the Left State Councillor. Yi-kang then speaks with Je-woon. He tells him that his book helped him immensely with understanding the truth about the bird.

Hearing this, Je-woon is extremely happy and hugs him. Yi-kang then tells Je-woon about the plan to take down the Left State Councillor and also that he should run away with U-hui. Yi-kang’s words give Je-woon the confidence he needed to go after U-hui. He takes U-hui to a secluded place to express his love for her.

The next day in Moon River episode 8, U-hui meets with Yi-kang to tell him that she is aware of his plans. She tells him that she can give him vital information to take down her father. She is aware of the location of Jimjo. Yi-kang wastes no time going to the location to find out about Jimjo. However, the cave leads to a dead end. He then breaks down the door and enters.

Inside the cave, the Choraengi-masked assassin lights a firework, which could completely destroy the evidence that the Left State Councillor was the culprit. The blast completely destroys the evidence, which leaves only catching Jimjo alive as the means to prove that the Left State Councillor is involved.

At the end of this episode in Moon River, the Jimjo bird begins to ravage the palace. However, before they are able to catch the Jimjo, it speeds towards Dal-i’s direction. Yi-kang then makes the decision to kill Jimjo to protect Dal-i. Dal-i is completely devastated by this situation, knowing that the plan of revenge is ruined. She keeps on apologizing to Yi-kang, thinking that it was her fault his plan was ruined. However, Yi-kang assures her and finally reveals his true feelings for her.
