In Missing Crown Prince episode 13, Crown Prince Lee Gon protects his half-brother, Do Sung, and stepmother Queen Yoon. He takes the blame for killing the witness, leaving the royal court in shock. Some of the officials insist on taking strict actions. 

Meanwhile, Myung-Yoon barges into Queen Dowager Min Soo-Ryun’s chamber to discover why her father wants Lee Gon dead. She learns that the crown prince discovered Sang-Rok and Soo-Ryun’s affair and thus, Sang-Rok wanted to kill Lee Gon. This revelation breaks down Myung-Yoon, and she heads towards Lee Gon’s chamber in distress. Concerned, Do Sung follows her and witnesses the crown prince hugging Myung-Yoon.

Lee Gon seeks Sang-Rok’s bodyguard, Moo-Baek’s help, to escort Myung-Yoon out of the city. Meanwhile, Sang-Rok requests Do Sung to ask the crown prince to send Myung-Yoon to her home. Initially, Do Sung acts as if he doesn’t know about the situation. Sang-Rok then tries to manipulate him, mentioning that Lee Gon has kept Myung-Yoon in his chamber for a few days. After a while, Lee Gon summons Do Sung and tells everything, adding that the latter should escort her out of the palace. 

Before leaving, Myung-Yoon and Lee Gon spend an intimate time together. They create a painting showcasing their love for each other. They wonder if things could have been fine if Myung-Yoon was not Sang-Rok’s daughter. They bid farewell to each other with a kiss.

While the two brothers believe she is safe, Myung-Yoon decides to head home and face the consequence of being Sang-Rok’s daughter.

After the royal decree, Soo-Seong/Lee Gon gained the officials’ trust and confidence in the royal court. His actions confuse Sang-Rok and Soo-Ryun, making them wonder about his next step. 

On the other hand, Myung-Yoon’s family bodyguard, Moo-Baek, tries to make her understand her father’s true face. However, Myung-Yoon does not listen to him and says she will not escape the consequences. She refuses to leave Sang-Rok alone to save herself. Eventually, Moo-Baek reveals that Sang-Rok has killed innocent people, including Myung-Yoon’s mother.

The episode ends with Myung-Yoon confronting her father about the same. Sang-Rok admits, “Yes. You are right. I killed her.”
