Missing Crown Prince episode 14 spoilers: Why did Suho & Kim Min-Kyu have a fallout?
Missing Crown Prince episode 14 begins with the villagers learning about a “sly fox” (referring to Queen Dowager Min Soo-Ryun) in the palace. Soo Seong gets worried about the rumors and thus requests Do Sung not to reveal Sang-Rok and Soo-Ryun’s relationship in public. This is how the newly appointed grand prince falls for Sang-Rok’s trap.
Meanwhile, Soo-Ryun wants Queen Yoon out of her way as the latter turns rebellious. Sang-Rok manipulates the officials and turns things in his favor. During the investigation of a witness’ death, Soo Seong is questioned after he confesses to killing the witness. In reality, Queen Yoon has murdered her. Things get complicated when Soo Seong’s bodyguard submits the killing weapon, leaving his master in shock.
After Queen Yoon is proven guilty, Soo Seong realizes he got played. But his half-brother, Do Sung, is confused and cannot wrap his mind around the fact that Soo Seong didn’t save his mother. Meanwhile, Soo Seong learns how and why the truth came out.
The former crown prince orders his bodyguard to search for the antidote for the poison that Sang-Rok gave the king. He believes only his father can save Queen Yoon. When the bodyguard looks for evidence in Sang-Rok’s house, he is shocked to see Myung-Yoon. The latter was supposed to leave the city after bidding farewell to Soo Seong a few days ago.
With a piece of evidence, Myung-Yoon returns to the palace. She first meets Soo-Ryun and tells her that she has disowned her father for killing her mother. Later, Myung-Yoon meets Soo Seong, who initially becomes angry at her. She explains that she has decided not to leave the city to punish Sang-Rok and Soo-Ryun.
