BLOODY HEART

THE PEOPLE, GROUPS, PLACES, AND INCIDENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE PURELY FICTIONAL

How do you know that,

Lady Park?

I�

am the daughter of Yoo Haksoo.
The late deposed Crown Princess.

I am Lady Yoo.

Look here, Lady Park�

Are you truly aware

of what you are saying?

You wish for my words to be false.

More accurately,

you wish to make it a false statement.

Do not waste your time, Councilor.

You will be very�

busy from now on.

-Please grant your royal permission
-Please grant your royal permission

-to select the Queen.
-to select the Queen.

-Please grant your royal permission
-Please grant your royal permission

-to select the Queen.
-to select the Queen.

Please grant your royal permission

-Please grant your royal permission
-Please grant your royal permission

-to select the Queen.
-to select the Queen.

-Please grant your royal permission
-Please grant your royal permission

-to select the Queen.
-to select the Queen.

Your Majesty.

Please set a consummate date.

A wife's family interfering
with Internal Court business

is highly frowned upon.

Your Majesty!

I am your loyal subject.

Please�

allow me to die as one

by awarding me your benevolence.

Eunuch, come forth.

Yes, Your Majesty?

Set a date in the near future

for my consummation with Lady Cho.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I am humbled by your generosity,

Your Majesty.

BLOODY HEART
EPISODE 8

We have word from
Bamboo Grove Village's governor.

Lady Park's origin seems suspicious.

The fact that

someone of the royal court
visited her so far away--

His Majesty's heart beats for her.

He must have sent a eunuch
to frequently check on her well-being.

But it goes back seven years.

And at that time, he was the Crown Prince.

It is of no great deal.

Do you remember Yoo Haksoo's daughter

who was selected as Crown Princess?

Yes.

What was she like?

She was rumored to be an eccentric soul.

However, she was well-educated

and was knowledgeable in various matters.

Of course.

Her father did lament

that if she had been born a boy,

she would have easily become
a minister or someone of that value.

Have the painter
draw a portrait of Eunuch Jung.

Once it is done,
take it to Bamboo Grove Village.

Personally confirm

that the eunuch who visited
Bamboo Grove Village is Eunuch Jung.

There is no time to waste.

Yes, my lord.

How nice it is for you all
to pull me out of my boredom.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

-The gratitude is ours.
-The gratitude is ours.

The palace is where you reside,
Your Highness.

Any discomfort, as small as it may be,

will be our delight to accommodate.

Of course. His Majesty will soon approve
of the crowning of the Queen

which will pave the way for your return.

Her Highness is here
to recuperate from her illness.

I am appalled by your irrelevant remark.

Your Highness,

I humbly request that you be at ease.

We hope our heartfelt prayers

will help reclaim your health.

Madame Yoon, your words

are nothing but kind.

It has been a while, cousin.

Why did you call for me?

OKDANG

Funeral customs have been ignored
since the deposed King,

and now you wish for His Majesty
to disobey the three-year mourning period!

You scoundrels.

If you are also here to persuade me,
I suggest you turn around.

How could I not be aware

of your wishes to uphold
the customs of Confucian ritualism?

All I worry

is that His Majesty
will be written in history

as the leader
who ignored scholars' petitions.

I cannot believe you are
using him to plead your case.

You and His Majesty
might have to give in to the scholars,

but there is a way for you
to still follow custom.

You are late.

Is His Majesty

also aware of whom your father was?

Would he knowing
be more beneficial to you,

or�

would it be better for me to say

that I seduced the oblivious King?

As if it would make any difference.

I will look into it either way.

Of course.

Seeing as you still have

not reported a traitor's daughter
to the State Tribunal

tells me that I am quite valuable to you.

I will make my decision
based on your answer.

I�

will propose a deal.

My people whom you are after

and those you imprisoned.

Could you let them go?

In no way can this be a deal.

You have only given me
more cards to utilize.

Your obsession regarding their safety

tells me that I should
never let them free.

Then,

will this continue?

Nothing has changed between us.

Actually,

everything has changed.

I can rob you of your heart's true desire.

It may be difficult
to be crowned as a queen,

but not being crowned as one�

is more than simple.

Chief Scholar,

are you here to request
that I crown the Queen?

Of course not.

How could I possibly ask you
to overturn the decision you made?

The crowning ceremony

should be held
after the three-year mourning period,

but there will be no harm in deciding
which lady should be Queen

so that she could attend to
Internal Court affairs.

Your solution is nothing but temporary.

Would the royal court
and scholars approve?

If you declare
that a decision will be made yourself

by the end of this month
while the Queen Dowager recuperates,

the officials and scholars
will have no grounds to disapprove.

In the absence of the Queen Dowager,

I am to make�

a unilateral decision?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Chief Scholar,

you are the most loyal subject.

I am humbled, Your Majesty.

We are selecting the head lady
of the Internal Court.

Will it be decided without the advice
of its highest ranking lady?

You are the one
who brought about this outcome.

Look here, Lady Park.

Is it truly your intention

to give up the title to Lady Cho?

You still do not understand
the depth of my words.

I could easily

kill all your people.

Have you�

forgotten that I am here as your niece?

The actual process may differ,

but a gracious attitude
is what people find valuable in a Queen.

Never have I seen a concubine

end up as Queen
after displaying arrogance.

Our deal

is over.

From this moment on,

I will threaten you instead.

Lady Park, what brings you
to the Royal Secretariat?

I am here to reprimand you,
Chief Royal Secretary.

Worries cloud over His Majesty

which has led him
to stay away from my chambers.

All I do as the chief royal secretary
is receive and relay his orders--

Exactly. That is why I am here to see you.

Maybe you should talk to his court lady.

I do not understand why--

Your incompetence is why
he has not been to see me.

That is enough.

You are all dismissed.

How far are you willing to go?

This is hardly anything
to be alarmed about.

At this month's congratulatory ceremony,
I will barge into the hall

and yell at His Majesty
in the presence of all officials

demanding an answer as to why
he has not been to my chambers.

Would that not be written in history?

Until the 8th of this month,

bring me the governor
of Bamboo Grove Village.

You have�

until the 8th.

You have� my word.

I am only here
to briefly chat with Mother.

Do not make a fuss.

You have done enough

to provoke the crowning of the Queen.

Are you sure about this though?

Once the Queen gives birth to a son,

the subjects will fear her more
and will tiptoe less around you.

Rather than the King's stepmother,

they will revere the prince's mother.

You made a hasty move.

Trying to drive a wedge
between us, are you?

Having Joseon in the palm of his hands
is still not enough for Councilor Park.

What will happen once he has control

over the Queen and the son
she gives birth to?

Do you expect him to still have your back?

As your son,

I only say this out of concern
of you losing the power you hold.

I ask that you let your anger subside.

I see you have yet to receive news.

Since you are recuperating,

I am solely to decide

on who will be Queen.

That is preposterous.

A mother-in-law cannot be excluded

from the selection process
of her daughter-in-law.

Court Lady Han!

Summon Councilor Park this instant.

This instant!

It is my blunder
that has led to this commotion.

The storm must be weathered,
and thus I will make a decision.

The Three Offices claim
only what is dutiful

which is why I will continue
to mourn the late Queen.

The royal court and scholars claim
only what is correct as well

which is why I will decide on a Queen
and treat her with respect

as she manages business
of the Internal Court.

She will be crowned
after the three-year mourning period.

Thank you for your boundless generosity,
Your Majesty.

-Thank you for your boundless generosity.
-Thank you for your boundless generosity.

The Queen should not be selected
without the Queen Dowager's approval,

but time is of the essence

and this matter
cannot be held off any further.

If the Queen Dowager remains unstable

and does not return to the palace
by the end of this month,

I will take advisement
from the royal family and officials

to reach a decision.

Father. It is your son, Namsang.

What brings you by?

I hear you have been troubled these days.

Mother is deeply worried.

Is it due to Lady Park?

Chief Royal Secretary
did say something disturbing,

but those groundless rumors
will soon subside,

so please do not worry.

Lady Park is not one
to behave that erratically.

After all, it was her wisdom
that solved the issue with the scholars.

It was you.

It was you all along.

Of course.

Even the Chief Scholar
would be open to your suggestion.

So tell me.

Did you relay her proposal as ordered?

All while knowing

that it could ruin our family's chances
of being related to the Queen?

Who becomes Queen is to be decided
by the royal family and His Majesty.

The Queen failing to give birth
to an heir of the mainline of descent

has been the root of this madness.

A son from the mainline of descent
must receive proper education

in order to be a sage ruler.

How are we supposed to serve a king
who is handed the throne

out of sheer luck?

So you coveted the power
of the future Crown Prince too?

Your greed for that is excessive.

I will be the one
who crowns the future King.

Never will we be ruled by a tyrant again.

That is not your duty.

That is my duty!

Only I am capable of this.

Why can you not see
that the arrogance you display

makes you seem
like a power-hungry subject?

You foolish boy!

If I were power-hungry,

I would have already
taken over the Three Offices!

Your incorruptible demeanor.

Do you actually believe
it is of your free will?

It is not.

It is what I allowed.

It was I.

It was I who allowed it!

If your King were a tyrant,

you would have taken
a much different path.

A much different path.

You summoned me, my lord?

Out of the servants,

single out two
who do not have mouths or ears.

-Yes, my lord.
-And also find a fixer.

Once the deed is over,

their mouths must remain shut.

To pray for Queen Dowager's recovery
at a temple,

I wish to step outside the palace.

I humbly request that you allow it.

Tell me why

you truly wish to leave the palace.

It seems as though
the crafters are in Hanyang.

I am hoping to get
a glimpse of them somehow.

Is that really the reason?

Why would there be another one?

I do not know.

You have never been easy to read,

but it has become impossible nowadays.

The palace guards will escort you.

Return straight away
after delivering your prayer.

Are you�

that concerned about me?

Forgive my jest.

I have always�

worried about you.

I will make sure to return safely.

When is the date?

When is the date, my lord?

This month�

This month, on the 8th.

�on the 8th.

Kill the male servant
once the deed is done.

It is a slow-acting poison.

Bear witness to Lady Park drinking the tea
and returning to the palace afterward.

-Tell Lord Park immediately.
-Of course.

It sure is nice to escape the narrow walls

and breathe fresh air.

I hope to escort you outside
more often from now on.

Councilor Park?

Councilor Park!
Bring us cold water. This instant!

You came out of nowhere and now this?

I thought you could not come.

Did you know I would be here?

I�

informed her.

For what reason are you at this temple?

Lady Park suggested

that a Buddhist prayer
fighting off my nightmares

would offer a good excuse
for my return to the palace.

There is something between
Councilor Park and Lady Park�

that I am clearly not aware of.

CHEONWANGMUN

I knew you had another idea in mind

when you agreed to bring me
the governor on such short notice.

But this is a move I saw miles ahead.

You were willing to kill me
and give up having the Queen's powers.

I must clearly be a threat to you.

The poison in today's tea.

Is it the same poison
consumed by the late Queen Inyoung?

I had the most to gain

if the late Queen were deposed.

However, she was poisoned to death

and things took the worst turn�

for me.

I will

let your people free.

Will that�

put an end to this?

No.

I no longer trust your words.

I will do what I can

to provide His Majesty with the tool
that will allow him to seal your fate.

That is how I will save my people.

No one in this country
could ever have the power�

to decide whether I live or die.

You are wrong.

Anyone can possess that power.

I entered the palace
with no way to retreat.

It is why

I can make whatever move I want.

Forgive my tardiness.

I am ashamed, Your Majesty.

The Queen Dowager has yet to arrive,
so you are not late.

Pressure the shaman
for a consummation date.

It is the birth date
of a high-ranking nobleman.

Do you see a son in his future?

GYEONGSHIN YEAR, EULCHUK MONTH,
GABO DAY, MYO HOUR

I see a son in his future.

Then tell me the date
of when he will be conceived.

Who is it that seeks this date?

The nobleman's mother.

Looking at this,
the nobleman's mother is deceased.

She must be his stepmother.

Do you recognize
whom was born on this date?

The date must have been requested�

by the Queen Dowager.

That's right.

Allow me to meet her in person.

Of course not.
What you are asking is preposterous.

The son conceived on the consummation date
will be the Crown Prince.

I would not dare to have it relayed.

What?

Did you request
that I allow a monk to enter the palace?

He possesses great power of premonition,
Your Highness.

Someone with such great power
must be aware of the outcome

should he enter the palace.

The royal court and scholars
will be in an uproar.

He claims that the Crown Prince
will be conceived on said date.

Such a sacred date
cannot be relayed via my lowly words.

It is why he wishes
to inform you in person.

Speak to me�

of this great power he possesses.

-My goodness!
-Uncle Ma!

Get in here. Hurry.

Master Lim!

-Master Lim!
-Goodness me.

This is not how one should behave.
Let me see you.

I do not remember you being this gaunt.

I lost sleep worrying about you.

Just a second.

This. Miss gave it to me.

I told her to bring anything she could
from Lady Jeong.

-Is that it?
-Yes.

Was it Eunuch Jung
who visited Bamboo Grove Village?

I never saw his face.

But� there is something I did see.

Miss called him a swordsman.

It must not be a nickname
considering the big gash on him.

It was you.

You took her to Jeolla to keep her hidden.

Chief Eunuch.

Eunuch Jung will be leaving office.

Have it be that way.

Yes, my lord.

Eunuch Jung did not report for duty today?

No, my lady. He also left
in a hurry last night due to a fever.

Eunuch Jung recuperates from his fever
at his home outside the palace?

It is right around the time I expected.

I see.

You can find it way over there.

-That is right.
-Goodness.

POLICE BUREAU

You are to answer my questions truthfully.

Was it you?

Did you save the life
of traitor Yoo Haksoo's daughter?

Someone placed a dead body
pretending to be hers,

lit it on fire,

and brought a guilty prisoner to safety.

Was it you?

Speak!

Yes.

It was my doing.

By whose orders?

The late King?

Or�

His Majesty?

How far are you willing
to go for His Majesty?

May I ask what provokes such an inquiry?

Allow me to rephrase.

What is it

that you truly wish to do
for His Majesty's sake?

What are you playing at?

It has been a while, my lord.

You will make a report

to the Police Bureau?

How dare you.

By the looks of it,

you seem to know what I am here to report.

Chief Eunuch,

give us privacy.

No one is allowed to enter.

Yes, my lord.

Your Majesty,

Left State Councilor
is here for an audience.

Councilor Park has made his way
to His Majesty's chambers.

Your Majesty,

the daughter of traitor Yoo Haksoo�

still lives.

Your Majesty!

Why did you save
the daughter of a traitor?

Even if the late King ordered it,

you should not have complied!

And now�

I am choosing to rectify the error
of this despicable incident.

The one who had a traitor's daughter
submitted in the Queen selection process

is you.

It is why

I will punish Lady Park

and also pay the price

for my misconduct.

I must speak to His Majesty.
Announce my arrival.

The Left State Councilor
is here for an audience.

As they converse privately--

Your Majesty, it is Lady Park.

I wish to make a report
regarding the Left State Councilor.

Your Majesty,

please allow me to enter.

Let her enter!

I requested an audience
to make a truthful report.

I�

am the former Crown Princess

and the daughter

of traitor Yoo Haksoo.

Lady Park�

The world believes
that I was burned to ashes--

-Enough!
-But someone broke me out of prison

and escorted me
to Bamboo Grove Village. He is�

-Lady Park�
-That is enough!

It is Left State Councilor Park.

Councilor Park deceived the world

and saved the life
of a traitor's daughter.

He then had her become
a royal concubine as his niece.

He deceived you, violated the law,

and humiliated the royal family
which is an act of treason.

Turn me into the State Tribunal

so that the whole truth can be proved.

Your Majesty,

how long are you willing to put up�

with this nonsense?

Councilor Park is already aware
of this matter.

Your Majesty,

turn me into the State Tribunal.

The one who broke me free

and escorted me
to Bamboo Grove Village will testify.

I received the order�

from the Left State Councilor
at the time which was you.

You ordered me

to save the life
of traitor Yoo Haksoo's daughter.

The one who helped me take refuge
in Bamboo Grove Village will also testify.

It was you, Lord Park.

You asked me to keep
the traitor's daughter safely hidden

so that you could make her Queen

after adopting her as your niece.

And then I,

traitor Yoo's daughter,

will attest to that fact.

Lady Park�

If you do,

you will lose your life.

Your Majesty,

you accepted me as Lord Park's niece
in order to spare my life,

but the tables have turned.

I might lose my life,

but Councilor Park can also be executed.

In this confidential letter,
all of our crimes have been listed.

Should any of us three die�

No,

even if all of us should die,

this letter will give you enough reason

to ruin

Councilor Park and his family.

Are you truly�

choosing to die for this cause?

Please do not do this.

You have done enough�

to discourage Councilor Park.

You will be granted
what you have been fighting for,

so please end this right now.

You must.

I once wished to live as well.

But then it occurred to me

that I had no option
but running away like I once did.

Then that is what you shall do.

I did not want to run away

and live out my life as a living corpse.

Embracing death

revealed a new path for me.

A path to save my people�

and to accomplish your objective.

Rather than a living corpse,

I choose to die

and live within the hearts�

of my people.

Do you really�

wish to die this way?

Just

promise me one thing.

My people who are held hostage
at Bamboo Grove Village

and those who are living on the run.
Allow them to live freely.

Do not let any more innocents

lose their lives
at the cost of a political war.

Do not let�

hundreds of scholars cease to breathe
in the same way my parents did.

Please�

become a wise and benevolent king.

Then I will gladly

drag the Left State Councilor
down to hell with me.

Thank you.

I am truly grateful.

You are�

the most loyal subject.

Your sacrifice will pave the way
for royal authority�

to be strengthened.

The degradation my father faced

and the blood my mother shed�

formed the crown that sits on my head.

A single drop of blood shed from you�

would make no difference.

You�

will die alongside Councilor Park.

And I�

will rise

as Joseon's true King.

Has Joseon

ever seen a ruler

quite like her?

A ruler who is willing
to sacrifice one's own life�

to save the people?

Your Majesty,
it has been reported that tomorrow is

an auspicious day for you and Lady Cho.

If you have another date in mind�

There is no need to postpone.

Proceed�

as announced.

I hope there will not be an issue
with our consummation tomorrow.

I hardly doubt it.

I only speak out of concern.

The day before our consummation,

a royal relative dies or thunder strikes.

His Majesty will not use such an affair
as an excuse this time.

Father notified me
that he strong-armed His Majesty�

What�

did you just say?

I hear you urgently summoned me.

Did you pressure His Majesty into settling
on a consummation date with me?

But why?

Why would you bother him
with a frivolous matter?

-Lady Cho--
-I am unlike his former concubines.

His Majesty chose me out of love.

I do not approve of your interference.

I will request that
the consummation be pushed back.

His Majesty knew Lady Park
since her days outside the palace.

It could be her�

that he truly desires.

Who he finds fitting
will be crowned as Queen,

so cease those childish thoughts.

Our family's fate

lies in your hands.

The woman that he truly desires�

could be Lady Park?

She is the Queen Dowager.

Show respect.

Relay the consummation date.

I am much obliged, but there is
something I must confirm first.

What?

Is the conception
of His Majesty's eldest son

what you truly desire?

Such insolence.
How dare you speak to her this way?

Court Lady Han.

Are you suggesting
that I desire something else?

I have yet to foresee
what it is you desire.

However,

a son conceived on this date

will possess the utmost power
and authority in Joseon.

Is that what you truly desire?

His Majesty enters.

Your Majesty.

Carry on your path.

I will do what I must.

The full moon is in sight.

You should head back.

His Majesty�

must be with Lady Cho by now.

The air is chilly.

Truth be told,

I wanted him to stop him from going.

I also wanted to fully resent him.

But I could not.

Not when I still remember
how he told me to live�

while shedding tears that I could not.

Forgive me but I do not follow.

I wish to be alone for a while.

Please.

I apologize.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Where is Lady Park?

Tonight, I will allow you to embrace me.
