Mr. Queen

This drama is fictional and
all characters, organizations,

and events are unrelated to historical events.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

My Queen, thank you.

- Congratulations, Your Highness!
- Congratulations, Your Highness!

I'm going to be a father!

I'm...

pregnant?

Everyone, stop!

- Goodness.
- Get out.

- Your Highness.
- Goodness.

Why is the queen so upset?

She's not upset.

She's just expressing her happiness.

Yes.

Is this what you call pregnancy syndrome?

This is more than just an identity crisis.

My identity will cease to exist,
and my soul will be destroyed.

Is this how my life ends?

I told you I was against getting married.

Even if I had accidentally gotten married,

I was never planning to have children.

It's hard for me to survive
by myself in this warlike life,

so how could I become pregnant?

It's as reckless as taking
off your bulletproof vest...

as you dance the samba while
bullets are heading towards you.

That's not all.

Pregnancy and childbirth are so hard,
they can reduce one's lifespan.

You're literally giving up
your life to give it to your child.

Why must I give up my life expectancy...

to a child I don't even know?

Darned Mother Nature. Give someone else...

the provision of nature!

I can't believe I'm pregnant!

Episode 17
Pregnancy is Beautiful

You must wait. Your Highness.

Episode 17

You fabricated the dead body.

Did you think I'd fail to recognize Oh Wol?

I did it so you can open your eyes...

to your true self you were unaware of.

The queen has turned her
back on the Andong Kim clan.

In return, the Andong Kim
clan has joined hands with us.

It's your best chance to become the queen.

Don't try to control me ever again.

How long can a tamed bird live...

if it chose to leave the birdcage?

There's an announcement the
king wants the world to know.

What is it?

The queen...

is pregnant.

That's the sound of the drum
to announce a joyful occasion.

Now that my storeroom is empty,

there's no way for me to fill my empty heart.

No delicacy can fill my stomach...

No, my heart. What can I fill it with?

I've even turned my back on my family.

I'm a loner.

My lord!

My lord!

- My lord!
- What is it?

An urgent message has arrived from the Palace.

Did something happen to the queen again?

The queen is pregnant!

What's the reason?

Your Majesty. Rather than
searching for the reason,

perhaps you should find a
way to make her feel better?

That's a good idea. How can I do that?

How can I make a woman feel happy?

I shouldn't have asked you.

Who should I ask regarding this?

That's why...

I've invited an expert to help you
resolve your worries, Jong-cheol.

All he's done these days
was eat and think about that.

What are you doing?

She'll probably get angry with you like this.

That's when you tell her this.

"I watered my flower."

I don't think I could live if I do that.

I guess she has a temper.

If that's the case,

there's a sure method.

What's that?

You make a silly face like this.

I hate myself for thinking
the same thing as him.

I apologize.

It's definitely been helpful.

No way.

I realized how foolish it is to look
for an answer from someone else.

When I'm the only person
who knows about her well.

Why are you crying?
I'm the one who wants to cry.

It's because I'm so happy.

You can cry as much as you want today.

Fine. You can cry.

You can cry in my stead.

For the sake of my life,

which I had no choice in.

Your Highness.

You should stop shedding tears of happiness.

Then what should I be doing?

You must personally announce
your pregnancy to the Internal Court...

and receive congratulations.

I don't want to. I cut ties with my in-laws.

Whether you cut ties with
them or you sewed it back up,

if you don't follow procedure,
you'll be called to account.

I hate my pregnancy even more.

The Grand Queen Dowager is here.

The Queen Dowager is also here.

They've beaten you to it.

What should we do about this?

Welcome.

I should've gone to you to
announce the news myself,

but as you can see, I can't get up.

What are my symptoms?

She has severe dizziness
due to morning sickness...

and pregnancy pains.

Yes, that's it.

That's why I came personally.

Please...

have a seat.

It's okay.

Your body must feel heavy. Please sit and relax.

Okay, then.

Upon hearing the news, I was so elated.

I even got you a talisman even
though I stopped getting them.

I just wanted to make sure...

you bring a healthy child into this world.

It kind of looks like a curse.

I'm an atheist. I don't believe in talismans.

You'll realize it when
you give birth to your child.

You'll want to believe something you never did.

You'll become desperate...

and want to make a wish on
the stone people kick around.

You may not fear anything in this world.

But now, you'll fear everything in this world.

Losing a child reflects poorly on the mother.

I asked the royal physician to make medicine...

that'll prevent you from a miscarriage.

Make sure to take the medicine every single day.

If something happens to the child,

you'll be held responsible.

Don't behave rashly anymore.

You must be careful for the sake of your child.

Both of them came to threaten me.

I really feel like throwing up.

Thank you for your wisdom.

This is Prince Yeongpyeong.

Please come in.

You came because you were worried.

I'm okay,

but I won't be able to bring myself...

to congratulate His Majesty and the queen.

I should focus on my path.

I came to the palace to
be of help to His Majesty.

I thought the only way...

I could help him was by
giving him emotional comfort.

But when I saw the queen,
I realized I was wrong.

It's your best chance to become the queen.

Queen Dowager.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

What brings you here, Royal Noble Consort Eui?

You've joined hands with the Andong Kim clan.

- It's the clan's wish.
- Don't sell our clan's name...

for your petty fight.

Do you wish to keep your
position as Right State Councilor?

I hope you'll make the right decision.

If not, I'll gather the members of our clan...

who truly care about...

the future of Joseon with my father.

My father sent all of them?

Yes.

These are presents for
the child you're carrying.

There's more.

There are more presents in the hall.

That puzzles me even more.

Since it's dark, I'll light the candles.

I don't care about those candles.

Starting now, my life...

will be pitch dark.

To Left State Councilor Kim Seok-geun

Once again, they had gone
after the civil servant.

They didn't behead the leader.

They couldn't go after the leader...

because they feared it may be seen as treason.

Gosh, the guts of these farmers.

We don't have an excuse to
utilize our men on a large scale.

This is giving me a headache.

By the way, was the cipher
of Donghak believers...

found in the palace?

Kim So-yong

Seeing how Donghak believers
were able to penetrate the palace,

this is a major problem. We must hurry.

What if we end up with...

a lot of believers because we
didn't do anything about them?

You can just focus on your assignments.

Your Highness, starting today...

"Taegyosingi"

you'll begin your parental education.

You can't lie on your side.

You can't lean on your arm.

You can't lift your neck while lying down.

Darn it.

You can't laugh, be startled, get scared,

weep, cry,

or talk excessively.

You must stay away from such unusual tastes.

It's like my body doesn't even belong to me!

Well, that's true.

But I was just getting used to this.

How come everything went back
to square one with this pregnancy?

Especially you, Court Lady Choi.

I thought you decided to stop nagging me.

This is all for your baby.

I must survive first for the baby to survive.

Am I a machine that pops out babies?

Am I a living incubator?

Besides, I shouldn't be the
only one going through this.

What about the dad?

Go and tell Cheoljong to
have his prenatal education!

Actually, the third line of the first
chapter in "Taegyosingi" states...

the father is responsible to
undergo prenatal education.

Once His Majesty finishes
tending his business today,

you and he will both learn...

My day started with the pregnancy.

And it'll end with that?

My life is already gone.

No, Your Highness.

- No, Your Highness. Take it.
- Darn it.

Hong Yeon.

After that incident,

the queen and Kim Byeong-in
no longer see each other.

After being rejected, he must've
heard about her pregnancy.

I'll bet he has no one to rely on.

Poor thing.

I hope you're eating your meals.

I'll see you later.

You should sleep at home.

You seem haggard.

Stress is the cause of every illness.

This will also be very bad for the baby.

Keep a lookout.

Just one spoonful.

My pear-blossom wine.

Royal Chef!

Where's my pear-blossom wine?

It was spoiled, so I threw it out.

You seem like you're in a good mood.

I'm the same as any other day.

You said you stopped smiling a long time ago.

I found my smile back.

I lost my pear-blossom wine.
But you found your smile back.

What a coincidence.

Be honest with me, Court Lady Choi.

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

You're taking revenge for your struggle,
since you're given a chance!

You don't want to shake me, Your Highness.

Throw it up. Spit out my pear-blossom wine!

Please calm down, Your Highness!

You should rather talk it out, Your Highness!

Talk it out, my foot.

My pear-blossom wine.

They drank all of my pear-blossom wine.

- My pear-blossom wine.
- Your Highness!

Give me my pear-blossom wine!

- Your Highness.
- My pear-blossom wine.

Why are you crying, Your Highness?

I have been waiting for you.

You look cool like a prince on a white horse.

I can't do this and that,
but you can ride a horse and have fun.

You're very upset today, as always.

I'm glad.

Let's ride together.

You cannot do that, Your Majesty.

Her Highness is pregnant with a royal baby.

You cannot ride with her, Your Majesty.

Your Highness!

Your Highness! It's dangerous!

- Your Highness!
- You cannot do that!

Oh, no!

Where are we?

I always wanted to give you...

something you like and want the most.

The one you can't find
in the palace but outside.

- A nightlife?
- I meant freedom.

Don't you like it?

You should've just said it's
a walk. Why so grandiose?

We came to a royal villa to get some fresh air.

Let's go back if you don't like it.

A royal villa is like a summer house, right?

It's nice. It feels like a
rich man is flirting with me.

Now that we're here,
I might look around before we go.

I knew you'd like it, My Queen.

This way, please.

It's nice to be a king.

Having a luxurious villa and a garden.

I thought about it all night.
Why are you so angry?

Being pregnant is usually a
blessing to women in the palace.

But why does it make the queen so upset?

So? Do you know why?

No. No matter how much
I think about it, I don't know.

I don't understand it,
so I decided to accept it.

That a blessing to others
might not be a blessing to you.

That it's just who you are.

I guess Queen Dictionary
was indeed quite useful.

Why are you doing this?
You're making it awkward.

My Queen.

Is it "roar"?

Roar!

Since I'm writing Queen Dictionary,
there's something I want to know.

What does "all in" mean?

Have I said something like that?

That's the word you shouted at
the gambling place at the market.

All in...

is a very foolish behavior...

to put all your fragile eggs in one basket.

- Eggs?
- I did that foolish thing.

I can't believe at a time when I should run,

I stumbled over a stone
called pregnancy and fell.

Don't worry, My Queen.

I'll make sure to cut off
the rotten parts of Joseon.

For our baby...

who will inherit the country.

Fine.

If this child becomes the
king and inherits this country...

I can wield absolute power?

Sunwon's world

So-yong's world

Why didn't I think of it so far?

- What do you mean?
- My baby!

Look!

Everything under the sky...

is all yours.

Let's go back.

I'll start a proper prenatal education.

"A proper prenatal education"?

I should teach him how to win a fierce fight.

This baby will have to keep
living in this warlike palace.

Let's go. Start the engine.

We just came.

Even if I write a hundred
volumes of Queen Dictionary,

will I ever see a day when
I can understand the queen?

- Please wait for me.
- Hurry up!

Journal for Prenatal Education

My baby.

To survive in a palace,

you can't be lazy about making your people.

Your Majesty!

They're indeed the best warriors in Joseon.

My baby.

You should have your enemies close to you.

A thousand soldiers, you said.

Are you going to build up military power...

and invade Seonjeongjeon Hall or something?

Are you scared?

I guess it's you who are scared...

who prepared a thousand soldiers for me.

Halve the number of soldiers.

Send the rest to the Royal Guard Division.

My baby, you must have a
treasury with your money in secrecy.

These are the newly-minted coins.

- How much did you issue?
- A million.

This is the king's political funds?

You can buy power with money.

Lastly, my baby, this is
the most important part.

Get rid of everyone who isn't on your side.

Life is a real game. The world is a jungle.

You'll get eaten if you don't
eat others. A slaughter party!

Of course, you'll try your
best to establish peace.

But if there's no hope,

you must win no matter what it takes, my baby.

I'm so glad...

Her Highness pulled herself together.

He's still in your belly. Do you
already have so many things to say?

He'll listen only when he's in my belly.

He won't listen at all after he's born.

It's time to go to bed, Your Highness.

I have no time to sleep.
I have so many things to do.

Life is like a treadmill.

Once you stop running even
for a moment, you'll fall off.

Even pregnancy can't stop me.

I guess it can.

I'm a motorboat at heart,
but my body is a pedalo.

It's been a while.

This must've been tough on you.

It's okay.

You completed the book on tactics.

These men have never
lifted weapons in their lives.

So it'll be difficult to
turn them into soldiers.

But this will help.

Be careful.

I wasn't aware the increase...

in the number of believers was that high.

In other words, a lot of
people must be struggling...

due to oppression.

Lately, they're attracting
a variety of classes...

from ruined noblemen and herb diggers.

Perhaps, as My Queen said,

is the abolition of the social
strata the only solution?

We must be wary of...

a radical idea, too.

Of course, it's too far in the future.

I may not be able to do so, but perhaps,

my child will be able to.

Your Highness, His Majesty...

Don't wake her.

She's like a baby.

Journal for Prenatal Education

You should have your enemies close to you.

Baby, you must have a treasury
with your money in secrecy.

Life is a real game. The world is a jungle.

You'll get eaten if you don't
eat others. A slaughter party!

"Party"?

Par...

I can't figure out what "ty" means.

"Party."

Since the queen is safe, you weren't harmed.

I knew it. The talisman
I got was definitely effective.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Then, I believe...

you did your due diligence
to spread the story I told you.

That can't be.

You guys are so diligent this morning.

Did you even wash up
before you started to gossip?

You should listen to this.
It'll chase away your sleep.

You know the queen...

That's what I heard.

What? His Majesty and the queen
faked spending the night together?

His Majesty and the queen
faked spending the night together.

I heard they actually don't make love.

I heard they only spend
the night in the same room.

What? Then whose baby is she carrying?

Whose baby is she carrying, if not the king's?

- No way.
- I heard it was all fake.

You must've heard the
rumor circulating in the palace.

Rumors are always one
step slower than the truth.

That was ancient history.

Rumors shouldn't be taken lightly at the palace.

They may use that as an excuse to depose you.

All they ever try to do is get me deposed.

They're playing dirty and being petty.

I won't let them kick me out.

- Yes.
- Hong Yeon.

What are you doing with your hairpin?

What's up with this provocative pose?

We must quash the rumor.

- My goodness.
- Goodness.

- I'm blushing. I can't watch it.
- Gosh.

In that case...

This won't be enough to quash that rumor.

We must give them a good show.

This is a bit too much.

But you aren't as good as me.

Not enough.

Come on. Get into it.

If I get into it more than this,
we might need a tent.

Is that what you want?

I never said that.

We just need to put on a show for them.

Then, for the same purpose,

I'll visit you in Daejojeon Hall.

I have no choice, since I might be deposed.

Then,

see you later.

- Did they leave?
- They're so slow.

They're still watching us.

Then, you leave me no choice.

Your Highness, Royal Noble Consort Eui is here.

Is it your doing?

- What do you mean?
- I mean, the rumor.

It's all thanks to you.

I was reminded of what
you told me a long time ago.

You told me their spending
the night together was all a show.

Thanks to that, the queen's
pregnancy won't be celebrated.

Your words...

became an arrow and hit the queen.

Please stop this.

It's out of my hands now.

Once people begin to spread rumors,

they become irrevocable
from the very nature of things.

And now, it's too late for
you to wash your hands of it.

As long as you're here, you won't be free.

Your existence itself will be used
to help the standing of our clan.

I advise you to take the lead
rather than being exploited.

It scares me.

It's understandable.

However, you aren't alone. So don't worry.

That I was turning into someone like you.

That's what scares me.

Do you know why the clan is following your lead?

Because you're an innocent
victim whose heart broke...

from losing her child.

However, what if you were
a cold-hearted mother...

who caused her son to die,
so she could save herself?

And on top of that, what if
you were a foolish woman...

who was deceived by shamanistic beliefs...

and relies on the shaman
regarding our clan's future?

Will they still see you
as the leader of our clan?

I'll write down everything
I've heard and seen here,

so everyone in Joseon will
know exactly who you are.

Words don't have such power.

You'll find out how strong they can be.

You once told me you
don't wish to regret it again.

You don't deserve to regret...

failing to stop the late king's death.

You must regret trampling on his dream.

You should regret ruining your son's dream...

as his mother.

The late king was probably
desperate to escape...

from your shadow.

What...

You know nothing.

How dare you run your mouth?

It's the truth everyone knows.

And I'm sure you also know that.

I won't let you trample on
His Majesty's dream as well.

That wench...

I'm going to Daejojeon Hall.

Yes, Your Highness.

They say rumors and dreams are the opposite.

Rumors?

I didn't tell anyone...

about sleeping with the king,
since it's a personal matter,

but if you find out, you'll be surprised.

At night...

Like this.

It's a hot personal matter,
so I can't speak of it.

It's so frustrating.

The king is different from what he seems.

He's the king of stamina
who will go down in history.

Was it recorded in history
like that because of me?

Who could've spread such a false rumor?

The only person to do such a
thing is the Royal Noble Consort Eui.

It's okay.

What? What do you want
to fight with me about now?

Are you confident?

Are you confident that...

you can fight against
them with the king and win?

This is my fight, too.

I also have a reason to win.

Then you should practice shooting arrows.

With your current skills,
you'll only be a burden.

Then can you teach me?

I...

don't have time to do so.

Your Majesty, the Royal
Noble Consort Eui is here.

Tell her to come in.

I have a request for you.

Tell me.

You must fulfill it.

What kind of request is it?

Please let me leave the Palace.

What do you mean by that?

I can't find myself inside this Palace.

Please remove me from the Palace...

so I can live as myself.

I can't allow that.

You know what it means to live
as a disposed royal noble consort.

I don't care about what others say of me.

No, I'll no longer be bound by those things.

This is my final request, so please allow it.

I don't give you royal permission.
I can't grant you royal permission.

You and I cherish one another,

but we don't love each other anymore.

I'm just...

trapped in the royal villa...

under the name of a royal noble consort.

Your Majesty. All of the
ministers have gathered.

The reason I've called all the ministers here...

is that I have an important
announcement to make.

As of this moment,

Jo Hwa-jin, Senior First Rank
Royal Noble Consort Eui,

will be disposed from her position
as Royal Noble Consort Eui.

We must stop this.

The Royal Noble Consort Eui
is no longer one of us.

Your Majesty, please stay healthy.

I'll pray for your future.

Your Highness.

Please don't call me that anymore.

This is wrong.

His Majesty must not do this to you.

I asked him to do this.

- Why?
- It's what's best for everyone.

As long as I'm in the Palace,
I'll get in the way of the king...

regardless of whether I want to or not.

I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

There's still time to take it back.

I'll go tell the king...

I can't trust myself any longer.

If I stay here much longer,
I may lose myself completely.

I pretended not to know...

how you felt about me.

- Your Highness.
- I used your feelings for me.

As much as I longed for the king,

I filled the emptiness I felt
when the king didn't long for me...

through you.

I...

I willingly allowed you to use me.

The only thing I could give you...

was that.

Thank you.

And...

I'm sorry.

You should also stop...

hurting yourself by loving the wrong person.

That's what she meant by that.

She's a cool woman.

Is Cheoljong okay?

I'm sure he's not.

Do a round with me.

I'm not in the mood to do so.

When we were young,

there was a game we played
often in Ganghwa Island.

The game where the one who
steps on the other's shadow first wins.

If you don't want to do it,

you can just lose.

Do you remember?

When we were young, I always won.

I remember always winning later on.

I should've been stricter in
determining our hierarchy early on.

It isn't that you didn't determine
our hierarchy, you couldn't do it.

Royal Noble Consort Eui
worried about you until the end.

You who don't even know how valuable it is.

It isn't that I don't know.

That's why I'm distressed.

You should be more distressed.

That's...

the best you can do for Her Highness.

How much more do I have
to be lonely and distressed?

How much more?

My Jong, is he drinking somewhere?

I would've been drinking
with him if I weren't pregnant.

Is being pregnant not bearing
a baby but becoming one?

Why do I keep feeling sleepy?

I'll go to Tongmyeongjeon Hall.

You must be careful, Your Highness.

Since the rumor is dangerous,

if they find out the origin is Your Highness...

Before Grand Queen Dowager hears about it,

I should tell her myself.

- But...
- Don't worry, Court Lady Ahn.

They'll never imagine...

I'll share the rumor I started myself.

You came without my invitation.

I guess you have a favor to ask.

Hearing such a shocking rumor,

I was worried you might have been surprised.

That's why I came immediately.

A rumor?

Why do you always chase such endeavors?

If you hear what it is,
you wouldn't say so that easily.

It does make me wonder.

What kind of rumor it is for you
to run to me with such excitement.

It's too good to miss.

The expression on your
face after hearing the rumor.

Rumors hardly make me
wear a facial expression...

you want to see.

The baby the queen is pregnant
with isn't of royal blood.

It's Kim Byeong-in's child.

You cared for your family so much.

History will say The Andong Kim clan...

is the family who stained royal blood.

It's interesting.

It makes things very interesting.

Hey, did you hear the rumor?

I already heard. A baseless rumor.

His Majesty and Her Highness bedded...

bedded properly. Why are you
bringing it up so belatedly?

That isn't what I was going to say.

They say the baby isn't His Majesty's.

You'll get in trouble for saying that.

The entire palace is laughing at our family.

Adultery between the
queen and Minister of War...

who are close relatives?

I had high hopes for him.

My goodness.

After Royal Noble Consort Eui was deposed,

I thought it was over for me.

But hearing the rumor about
the queen, I feel like I won.

The baby wasn't of royal blood,
but a cuckoo's chick.

My family is more important than my own life.

That's why I live for my family.

What do you live for?

I also live for the same
thing as you, Your Highness.

Is that so?

If so, will you do anything,
if it's for your family?

Yes, Your Highness.

Then bring the queen's head to me at once.

It's the order of the family.

What's the reason?

The queen destroyed the honor...

our family maintained for hundreds of years.

Your Highness.

I don't know what infuriated you,

but I ask for your mercy.

Everyone in the palace spread gossip...

that the king and the queen
had not actually bedded.

Now they're saying the
baby in her belly is yours.

What?

That isn't true.

What everyone believes becomes the truth.

If the dawn breaks and people
move around and spread the rumor,

the queen will become a sinner...

who's pregnant from adultery...

and lied he is the king's, to stain royal blood.

The rumor started because of me.

I'll receive the punishment.

A rumor can hurt a man.

But a rumor can kill a woman.

What we need to save the honor of our family...

is the head of the queen.

If you cut her throat by
yourself and bring the head,

I won't punish you.

I cannot do that, Your Highness.

Please punish me instead.

You said you live for the family,

but you live for the queen!

Then I'll have to ask you to do something else.

- Is anyone there?
- Immediately,

I'll make your regency begin again.

You made a contact with a dangerous thing.

In a book with the queen's name,

I saw the cipher of Donghak
believers in your handwriting.

A dangerous idea stained the king and the queen.

And they're planning to reform the country.

What will happen if the
aristocrats sense the danger?

They'll try to keep Joseon as it is now,

even if it takes the lives
of the people in the country.

A massacre against Donghak believers will begin.

If so, why did you come to me,
not carry it out immediately?

Because it'll hurt the queen as well.

The Andong Kim clan...

is targeting Her Highness.

With the rumor the queen became
pregnant from adultery with me,

they're trying to kill her for the honor.

They're doing it to attack me.

- I'll stop them.
- You can't stop them.

Even if her life is spared for now,

if her own family attacks her with the rumor,

she'll have to be living
with a damaged reputation.

Not only Her Highness, but the
royal baby will also live like that.

Can't you see how the
officials who can do anything...

to threaten your position will dog her?

You're the only one who can save Her Highness.

What is it?

The way I can save her.

Put down the uprising.

With your own hands,

punish Donghak believers.

Defamation against the woman
of the king who went to war...

to protect the country isn't right,
which will quash the rumor.

If you prove you aren't part of
Donghak believers by killing them,

the cipher in Dongmongseonseup
can't threaten you.

This...

is the only way...

to save Her Highness and your baby in her womb.

You have no time to hesitate.

When the dawn breaks, Her Highness
will be eaten up by the rumor.

I'll never...

let her get hurt alone.

I'm not sleeping.

I'm thinking for a moment.

Why are you doing this,
not lying down for your comfort?

I came to comfort you.

But I fell deep in thought.

I'm so sleepy.

I'll comfort you tomorrow.

You're my comfort.

As the uprising in Sam Nam
has put the country in danger,

I'm leaving in a hurry.

While I'm gone, please
take care of the politics.

And...

the queen's baby, and me, as well.

I believe you'll take good care of him.

I've had a comfortable life
without being involved in politics.

I have no other choice.

Don't worry about the queen while you're gone.

Taking care of a woman who's left alone...

as her husband went to a
war risking his life is my duty.

I'll count you on that...

and leave.

Please take care of yourself.

The sun has already risen.

Your Majesty.

I'll do the rest.

Your Majesty.

Is it true you'll go to
quell the uprising yourself?

It's true.

What's going on, Your Majesty?

His Majesty has been supporting the
people who are going to kill them?

Kim Byeong-in found out about
the cipher in Dongmongseonseup.

If I don't go now,
millions of people will get hurt.

I'll follow you, Your Majesty.

Going by myself was the deal.

Isn't it enough to have me as a hostage?

This is a trap.

Don't you think it's the queen...

who handed Dongmongseonseup to Kim Byeong-in?

You promised me.

If there's clear evidence
the queen is our enemy,

you'll cut her head off.

What you should cut off isn't
the heads of the people, but hers.

The queen is clearly not our enemy.

The queen turned against
everyone just to be on my side.

If I don't leave immediately,

the queen will die.

Please calm down. It isn't the time
for us to fight against each other.

You said I should be more distressed.

You're right.

I'll bear everything.

Your life...

is in danger, Your Majesty.

If I try to live,

everyone will die.

I'm sure I've seen him.

Is it a dream?

Court Lady Choi. Hong Yeon.

Let's go to Daejojeon Hall.
I guess we missed each other.

- Yes, Your Highness.
- Yes, Your Highness.

His Majesty is leaving right now.

He's leaving? To where?

We'll be off, now.

Wait!

Stop! Hold on!

Why?

Why?

Is this the right path?

I don't think it's the path made for people.

We're taking the shortcut, Your Majesty.

Halt.

You're late.

If you were going to do this anyway,
you could've done it quicker.

Will you get off the horse
yourself? Or do you need help?

I have no place to back off.

There's nothing I can do except do my best.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

I can handle it by myself.

Everything will be fine if I get rid of you.

Mr. Queen

This little thing eats so much.

Say "Daddy, please come back soon."

I think it just kicked.

Your Highness, the king...

The owner of that seat is changing now.

What's the point of all of this...

when you're not here?

You haven't committed any crimes, you said.

Standing on the side of
the weak is also a crime.

Byeong-in. How far are you going to go?

More importantly, come into
this world in good health.

I'll take the life of the queen...

who joined you in taking the king's life.
