### Summary
Following his complex and ambiguous political purge, Grand Prince Jin-seong pivots from ruthless statecraft to a matter of public health. The narrative shifts focus as he introduces the revolutionary, anachronistic concept of germs and hygiene to the populace. Drawing on his modern knowledge, he begins teaching the fundamental importance of handwashing, a simple act with the potential to drastically improve the nation's well-being. This move is another instance of Jin-seong leveraging future "common knowledge" to effect change, reminiscent of his previous introduction of soap and inoculation. This public health initiative provides a stark contrast to his recent cold-blooded political maneuvering, showcasing his multifaceted approach to altering his grim timeline. While he focuses on this foundational societal improvement, the court's underlying tensions persist, with King Yeonsan's mental state deteriorating and the manipulative Concubine Noksu's influence continuing to grow.
