Thank you so much for commenting from the Land Down South. I appreciate your replying in details with much information as always.
There is no hurry. When you return home and have time, I look forward to hearing about the benevolence deed of the Princess that has been praised in the history.

On the 19th episode of MBC's Monday & Tuesday drama, "Splendid Politics", assassins trying to kill Jeongmyeong (Lee Yeon-hee) appeared.

Joo-won (Seo Kang-joon) in place of Jeongmyeong was stabbed by one of the assassins and fell down. Jeongmyeong allied with Gwanghae (Cha Seung-won) to find out who were behind the assassins.
Jeongmyeong decided to talk to Heo Gyun (Ahn Nae-sang) face to face. When Joo-won woke up from coma, he explained to Gwanghae about Jeongmyeong's profound ideas.

Jeongmyeong went to talk to Heo Gyun and made him confused with lies. Jeongmyeong told him, "I've been chased down. They think I've been secretly communicating with you. Do you know anything". She also asked him to help her get out of the capital city. Heo Gyun tilted his head in doubt.

@gerrytan8063, what ceremony was that where Gwanghae was walking with all the ministers in his formal robes with the square hat with the hanging beads? It looks like he was visiting someone's grave. He looked  so kingly and royally gorgeous, whew.... I could just faint. Where is that by the way? Is it a historical park?

Hi @zenya22

While waiting for Gerry, let's see if I can be of help. 
I think that was the Royal Ancestral Rite and Ritual which the descendents of the royal family pray for the eternal peace of the ancestral spirits. In the drama, you can see  Gwanghaegun stood praying in front of the royal tomb of King Seonjo ( Gwanghae's father). This ancestral ritual ceremony is still a major part of life in Korea, China, Japan etc.
 

King Seonjo's tomb, Donggureung Tombs in Gyeonggi, South Korea

Gwanghaegun was dressed in the traditional costume a Joseon king wears for official ceremony such as at a coronation when crowned a King. I suppose that square hat is the Crown. The same attire is worn at royal wedding ceremony with the exception of the round white collar ( I think ) seen in this episode is for the ancestral ceremony.

When I was reading your preview translation to ep 20 did I miss something I thought Gw already knew who Hw was..

‌@valsava

Kim Gae Shi must have inform him that Princess Jeongmyeong is alive...

Gwanghaegun had always wanted to keep Princess Jeongmyeong's existence away from Kim Gae Shi & Yi Yi Cheom knowledge
