Chief Court Lady and Choi family plot to remove Court Lady Jung from her position on the basis of her health. On the day of celebrating Chief Court Lady’s birthday, JangGeum assists Court Lady Jung in preparing a beef casserole, as per tradition, but Chief Court Lady is dissatisfied with the food. Although paralysis symptoms have faded, JangGeum suffers from losing her sense of taste and has hard time seasoning the food. JangGeum proves that the cause of the Prince being paralyzed is not from the food poisoning but from ginseng, maximizing the effect of nutmeg by taking ginseng and nutmeg herself.
