Episode 22
3
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:22,760
The current Queen is the evil concubine
Gyo in the Story of Sa!
4
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,290
Gyo! The concubine!
5
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,340
What on earth are you doing
to the mother of this country?
6
00:01:00,350 --> 00:01:03,740
On your knees!
It's His Majesty of Joseon.
7
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:13,440
Did this Queen do harm you in any way?
8
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,610
She volunteered to come here and help...
9
00:01:16,610 --> 00:01:18,780
Why does she have to suffer
through your heckling?
10
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,130
Queen...
11
00:01:29,470 --> 00:01:31,310
Are you okay?
12
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,260
I think it's better for me to
return to the palace.
13
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:43,360
This uninvited guest is a bother
to a happy occasion on a happy day.
14
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,460
No, let's go back together.
15
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:29,540
That must have been a shock to you.
Go get some rest.
16
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,820
I feel ashamed.
17
00:02:48,860 --> 00:02:50,290
Your Majesty.
18
00:02:57,020 --> 00:03:03,600
About what you said before...
not to repeat the same mistakes...
19
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,070
These days, I feel like the harder I try
not to repeat mistakes...
20
00:03:09,070 --> 00:03:12,580
the deeper I'm digging myself
into a hole...
21
00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:21,060
It's okay for me, but I'm scared
that it will affect our Yoon.
22
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:28,500
I will make sure to protect our Yoon so that
no one can even touch a strand of his hair.
23
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:33,770
Yes, Your Majesty.
Please do so.
24
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:15,810
You were looking for me?
25
00:04:15,810 --> 00:04:21,430
Yes... it's been a while since we had a drink.
26
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:24,730
Do you still have a lot on your mind?
27
00:04:24,730 --> 00:04:28,360
I should be used to this by now...
28
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:36,260
but every time I face it,
my heart sinks again.
29
00:04:36,260 --> 00:04:43,680
That's how I feel... so I can't imagine
how the Queen feels.
30
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,970
But she's endured it well to this point,
so she will continue to get through it.
31
00:04:52,590 --> 00:04:57,570
Uncle Dongpyung, how could the heart
of the people turn away so much?
32
00:04:57,570 --> 00:05:04,220
All the political issues, the wild Western Party,
and the incompetent Southern Party...
33
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:09,380
I've been able to stand against all of them
with wits and reason...
34
00:05:09,380 --> 00:05:18,390
but the heart of the people I faced
at the clinic was a real shock.
35
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:22,190
Even considering the popularity
of the Story of Sa...
36
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:27,210
it's still the heart of the people
I have to embrace.
37
00:05:27,210 --> 00:05:28,690
Your Majesty...
38
00:05:28,690 --> 00:05:35,560
The reason I kept changing the controlling
parties even at the cost of shedding blood
39
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,500
Was because I wanted to
govern for the people.
40
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,900
But the people I love so much...
41
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:52,380
are not accepting Ok Jung whom I love.
It really breaks my heart.
42
00:07:08,090 --> 00:07:12,490
Jang Hyun wants to see me earnestly.
43
00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:17,590
Now what is he going to say to me from jail?
44
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:35,720
What is the reason you wanted to see me?
45
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,690
Your Majesty, I have one request.
46
00:07:40,690 --> 00:07:42,760
A request from a criminal!
47
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,400
I will receive the full punishment
for my crimes.
48
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,330
So please hold an official interrogation.
49
00:07:52,330 --> 00:07:56,460
What? Interrogation?
50
00:07:56,460 --> 00:08:00,370
I've received generosity from His Majesty
that is as deep as the ocean
51
00:08:00,370 --> 00:08:03,340
despite committing the crime of cutting
short the life of the Queen Mother.
52
00:08:03,340 --> 00:08:09,700
I'm uncomfortable with the charge of bribery,
a petty crime that is as light as a feather.
53
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:16,000
So I'd like to confess every crime
I committed through an interrogation
54
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
and receive the appropriate punishment.
55
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,210
I believe it will have quite
an impact in the court.
56
00:08:26,210 --> 00:08:32,710
But what could I do?
I'll have to follow the order of nature.
57
00:08:32,710 --> 00:08:35,180
Order of nature?
58
00:08:39,970 --> 00:08:42,480
With an excuse like the order of nature...
59
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,930
you're trying to get the Queen and
the Crowned Prince involved.
60
00:08:46,930 --> 00:08:50,900
Even after committing such
an atrocious crime
61
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:55,400
you're desperate to find a way to save your
life rather than atoning for your wrongdoing.
62
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,930
I am already dead...
63
00:08:58,930 --> 00:09:02,770
Why does it matter what
happens from here?
64
00:09:02,770 --> 00:09:05,070
There is a saying among the merchants...
65
00:09:05,070 --> 00:09:09,120
'If I don't get paid for my goods,
I'll get paid in life.'
66
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,140
It wasn't an easy decision to make.
67
00:09:12,140 --> 00:09:19,060
It's the weakness that came about
since the first time Ok Jung was taken.
68
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:26,170
So... what are you trying to gain from me?
69
00:09:26,170 --> 00:09:31,200
I want to relieve the resentment
of my Hong Joo
70
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,730
who faced an untimely death
from the loving Prince Boksun
71
00:09:33,730 --> 00:09:39,770
and live as the father-in-law
even if it's only for a day.
72
00:09:42,530 --> 00:09:44,140
Fine.
73
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:53,060
I will make you my father-in-law.
74
00:09:58,260 --> 00:10:03,730
But you will have to keep your
mouth shut forever.
75
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,820
The current Queen? She's the evil
concubine Gyo in the Story of Sa!
76
00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:21,650
Gyo? The concubine!
77
00:10:36,070 --> 00:10:40,160
Court Lady Eom, I'm going to
Gam Go Dang, so get ready.
78
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:54,890
For the owner of the internal court
to leave the palace so often...
79
00:10:54,890 --> 00:10:58,250
So, what is it today?
80
00:10:58,250 --> 00:11:00,660
I came to teach you something.
81
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:03,500
To speak so informally...!
82
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:07,900
- Leave us for a while.
- But...
83
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,110
Yes...
84
00:11:15,450 --> 00:11:19,170
My manner of speaking comes
from the heart.
85
00:11:19,170 --> 00:11:23,980
Although you're demoted, I've considered
you my elder for a long time...
86
00:11:23,980 --> 00:11:27,590
So I couldn't speak in an informal way to you.
87
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:31,110
But after yesterday, I don't feel
it's necessary anymore.
88
00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:37,250
Queen Min who never lost her sense of dignity
or formality regardless of the situation
89
00:11:37,250 --> 00:11:44,370
didn't look any different from the crude behavior
of my old days to become the Queen.
90
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:47,720
So you came to nitpick on that?
91
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,700
No, I came to make something clear.
92
00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:53,360
Although the heart of the people
is leaning towards you...
93
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,410
the Queen within the
boundary of the custom
94
00:11:55,410 --> 00:11:59,320
is me, Jang Ok Jung,
not the demoted Min.
95
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,940
And I will turn around the heart
of the people some day.
96
00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:09,100
But do you know what the limit
of the Queen Jang Ok Jung is?
97
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:12,870
It's only relying on the favor of His Majesty.
98
00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:17,780
How futile is the favor of His Majesty.
99
00:12:17,780 --> 00:12:20,970
There is an old saying.
'To be fond of the leftover peach.'
100
00:12:20,970 --> 00:12:24,650
Although its simple meaning
is 'leftover peach'...
101
00:12:24,650 --> 00:12:30,140
there was someone named Mizi Xia
favored by a certain lord in the period of Wei.
102
00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:36,310
When Mizi Xia was young, she found a peach
so delicious she gave the leftover to the lord.
103
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:38,480
The lord was touched
104
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,460
but time passed and
Mizi Xia's beauty faded...
105
00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:45,080
Then the lord's favor also faded.
106
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,800
So the lord got rid of Mizi Xia.
107
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,140
Do you know the reason?
108
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:58,150
Because Mizi Xia fed him the leftover peach.
109
00:13:00,090 --> 00:13:02,400
No matter how deep the favor stands
110
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,540
when it's lost, it becomes trouble
and can lead to death.
111
00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:11,020
After becoming the Queen
from His Majesty's favor
112
00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:14,190
can you be certain that your
future will be any different?
113
00:13:17,290 --> 00:13:19,500
That may be true...
114
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:24,860
but the fact is, the current mother
of Joseon is Jang Ok Jung.
115
00:13:24,860 --> 00:13:27,760
So, if you ever show up again
to the place of the Queen...
116
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,770
I'll punish you according to custom.
Keep that in mind.
117
00:13:56,620 --> 00:14:01,500
Jang Hyun has been appointed as the
father-in-law, so show your bow of gratitude.
118
00:14:17,820 --> 00:14:22,470
Hong Joo, your love with Prince
Boksun did not come to fruition...
119
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:25,530
But I became the father-in-law
and relieved your resentment.
120
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:32,510
I feel like you became the Queen
through Ok Jung, so I can't be happier.
121
00:14:44,860 --> 00:14:46,860
Is it Ahn?
122
00:14:53,510 --> 00:14:58,330
How dare you...
At this late hour...
123
00:14:58,330 --> 00:15:03,290
I came to show you something.
124
00:15:05,380 --> 00:15:07,580
This is the letter from the King.
125
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:17,450
'Appoint Jang Hyun, the middle class
merchant, to the father-in-law.'
126
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:21,670
How do you feel?
127
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:24,470
Min Yoo Joong of the most
respected noble family
128
00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:26,930
and Officer Jang Hyun the lowly merchant
129
00:15:26,930 --> 00:15:29,950
are now at an equal class.
130
00:15:29,950 --> 00:15:32,650
How do you feel?
131
00:15:34,170 --> 00:15:39,770
With a piece of paper, you dare to
call it 'the same class'?
132
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:48,500
The wall of class cannot be climbed over
unless you are born again.
133
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:54,010
Have you already forgotten
about your dead daughter?
134
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,590
I'm still living because of my dead daughter.
135
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:11,290
Without being born again, class is something
I can buy with wealth
136
00:16:11,290 --> 00:16:15,270
and it is also obtained if you have power.
137
00:16:15,270 --> 00:16:21,580
I really wanted to show that to my daughter.
138
00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:26,510
Even if you try, will there
be any real changes?
139
00:16:26,510 --> 00:16:30,390
No matter how much you
maneuver through it...
140
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:33,450
can you truly be the father-in-law?
141
00:16:35,850 --> 00:16:42,190
Is that a big deal? The letter of the King
will settle everything in Joseon.
142
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,730
You killed my daughter mercilessly
and tormented me
143
00:16:49,730 --> 00:16:55,480
but in the end, that crude blood
became the King's first-born son
144
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,190
and that child will take the throne.
145
00:16:59,190 --> 00:17:02,770
He hasn't taken the throne yet.
146
00:17:02,770 --> 00:17:08,080
No no no... it will definitely happen.
147
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,230
When the child with my vulgar blood
becomes the King
148
00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:16,640
the noble class who always cries
about blood
149
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:23,600
Will have to lower their heads
to the child with the vulgar blood in him.
150
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:30,600
How is it? The feeling of lowering your head
to the child with vulgar blood?
151
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:40,160
But there are as many days left
as there are feathers on a bird.
152
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,800
The infant with your blood
also has a long way to go.
153
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,460
Who knows what's going to
happen in the mean time?
154
00:17:47,460 --> 00:17:52,880
That's right... the child has
many days remaining.
155
00:17:52,880 --> 00:18:00,740
So I'm going to cut off your life that has as
many days left as feathers.
156
00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:02,120
Do you get it?
157
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:10,380
That's how the child's future
path will become smooth.
158
00:18:15,030 --> 00:18:17,610
- Kwang Sun!
- Yes, sir!
159
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,430
Hong Joo...
160
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:37,800
I became the father-in-law of this country.
161
00:19:44,970 --> 00:19:54,750
I became the father-in-law and
ended the life of Min Yoo Joong.
162
00:19:57,310 --> 00:20:03,300
I relieved the resentment of my Hong Joo.
163
00:20:05,780 --> 00:20:07,520
Hong Joo...
164
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,430
Hong Joo...
165
00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:11,640
I was going to use Min Yoo Joong
to fertilize your grave.
166
00:21:13,550 --> 00:21:17,190
Your way of thinking is wrong!
167
00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:21,510
Differentiation of the class
comes first, then comes the people.
168
00:21:22,610 --> 00:21:29,270
Once you're born as a dog in Joseon...
169
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:35,970
you remain a dog even after death.
170
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,630
Your father learned that today.
171
00:21:48,260 --> 00:21:49,600
Hong Joo!
172
00:21:52,550 --> 00:21:55,260
Hong Joo!
173
00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:25,410
Bulls-eye!
174
00:22:32,130 --> 00:22:34,960
Jang Hyun left.
175
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:40,170
But there was someone else
who moved before me.
176
00:22:41,380 --> 00:22:42,660
Who was it?
177
00:23:21,130 --> 00:23:23,870
Contact my father in China...
178
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,030
Tell him it's taken care of.
179
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:32,350
Take this and save your life
180
00:23:32,350 --> 00:23:34,680
or just go to the afterlife.
181
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,930
There are more crimes you committed
than sand particles on the beach.
182
00:23:58,870 --> 00:24:02,530
What's going on? You seem to
be headed to Choi Suk Won.
183
00:24:02,530 --> 00:24:05,670
Choi Suk Won has fainted...
184
00:24:05,670 --> 00:24:08,510
and it seems that she's pregnant.
185
00:24:08,510 --> 00:24:11,680
What? Pregnant?
186
00:24:16,530 --> 00:24:19,050
Why do I feel so dizzy...
187
00:24:19,050 --> 00:24:23,140
I feel like throwing up and I'm nauseous...
188
00:24:23,140 --> 00:24:26,600
Could it be that I'm pregnant?
189
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,510
What happened?
What's the illness?
190
00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:44,150
She's pregnant.
191
00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:50,020
Choi Suk Won is pregnant?
192
00:24:50,020 --> 00:24:53,050
I'm going to slowly start on Jang Hee Jae.
193
00:24:53,050 --> 00:24:56,940
By the way, what's the other
card you're holding?
194
00:24:56,940 --> 00:25:00,170
The card that can crush
the Southern Party and Jang at once?
195
00:25:01,350 --> 00:25:05,800
I'll tell you about that card
when I show it to you.
196
00:25:06,650 --> 00:25:08,890
It's a very secret card.
197
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,710
Queen Majesty, do you like him that much?
198
00:25:15,710 --> 00:25:19,440
Of course. Get married soon and
have your own to find out.
199
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,000
And don't cause any more
headaches for Mother.
200
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,590
- Queen Majesty.
- Why do you keep calling me?
201
00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:32,710
What would you do if His Majesty
had another child?
202
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,290
Hee Jae...
Did you hear a rumor?
203
00:25:38,290 --> 00:25:42,190
- Did His Majesty...
- No, it's nothing.
204
00:25:42,190 --> 00:25:48,130
It's not that. But he is also a man...
Just in case.
205
00:25:49,910 --> 00:25:52,180
My heart dropped.
206
00:25:54,730 --> 00:25:57,660
I don't even want to think about it.
207
00:25:57,660 --> 00:26:04,190
His Majesty always tells me to have
lots of children as cute as bunnies...
208
00:26:04,190 --> 00:26:08,260
I see...
209
00:26:26,380 --> 00:26:29,210
Are you getting used to life in the palace?
210
00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:32,530
Yes, it's all thanks to you.
211
00:26:32,530 --> 00:26:36,230
Thanks to me? What did I do?
212
00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:42,630
I just need to follow the path
that Queen Majesty walked.
213
00:26:42,630 --> 00:26:46,130
What? The path I walked?
214
00:26:51,650 --> 00:26:53,590
It'll be my birthday soon.
215
00:26:53,590 --> 00:26:56,140
Since it's my first birthday in the palace...
216
00:26:56,140 --> 00:26:59,540
I'm looking forward to the food that day.
217
00:26:59,540 --> 00:27:04,760
Are you? Then I'll tell the
kitchen chamber to get ready.
218
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:10,660
It's okay. There seem to be many people
who want to take care of me that day.
219
00:27:10,660 --> 00:27:14,620
If that's the case...
220
00:27:42,750 --> 00:27:45,120
Did you give the poisonous herb
that you had set aside?
221
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:46,490
Yes, my lord.
222
00:27:46,490 --> 00:27:51,130
I'll just have to wait to find out
if he'll get caught in the trap.
223
00:27:56,050 --> 00:27:57,910
What's the occasion for you
to come into the kitchen?
224
00:27:57,910 --> 00:28:01,480
Oh, just to check on the rice punch.
225
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,650
Now you're doubting my cooking skills
of making rice punch?
226
00:28:05,670 --> 00:28:10,310
By the way, who is this for? You seem
to be paying special attention to it.
227
00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:14,430
You don't need to know that.
Anyway, what looks good tastes good...
228
00:28:14,430 --> 00:28:17,390
So just make it look really delicious.
229
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,180
No mistakes. Make sure this is
from Choi Suk Won's family.
230
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:38,340
Of course. I already got the message.
231
00:28:50,550 --> 00:28:54,740
I hear the food in the palace is tested
for poison first with a sliver spoon.
232
00:28:54,740 --> 00:28:57,330
Why don't you try dipping it
in first, Lady Suk Won?
233
00:28:57,330 --> 00:29:01,660
Who would harm a lowly concubine like me?
234
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,400
I'll just drink it.
235
00:29:22,690 --> 00:29:26,390
Well then, should we taste it too?
236
00:29:33,170 --> 00:29:35,690
What's wrong? Lady Suk Won!
237
00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:38,950
Please! Call the doctor now!
238
00:29:40,270 --> 00:29:42,350
Lady Suk Won!
239
00:29:42,350 --> 00:29:44,140
Call the doctor now!
240
00:29:51,380 --> 00:29:54,260
Your Majesty, there is trouble.
241
00:29:54,260 --> 00:29:58,580
Lady Choi Suk Won is unconscious after
drinking poisoned rice punch.
242
00:29:58,580 --> 00:30:01,530
Choi Suk Won drank poisoned rice punch?
243
00:30:01,530 --> 00:30:04,730
Are you saying someone
tried to kill Choi Suk Won?
244
00:30:04,730 --> 00:30:08,400
- What about her life?
- Yes, Your Majesty...
245
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:14,470
Luckily it was a small amount,
so she's unconscious but alive.
246
00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:18,550
Another poisoning incident in the palace?
247
00:30:18,550 --> 00:30:21,880
I won't let this slide.
248
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,660
Bring in the royal magistrate and
get to the bottom of this.
249
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:32,830
Stop.
250
00:30:34,450 --> 00:30:38,460
Confess now who brought the rice punch!
251
00:30:38,460 --> 00:30:43,010
I don't know anything! The rice punch
came from the Suk Won quarter...
252
00:30:46,110 --> 00:30:49,630
I don't know, either.
I don't know anything.
253
00:30:49,630 --> 00:30:56,520
Lady Suk Won had the rice punch,
so where did it come from?
254
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,290
If the kitchen chamber maids don't
know about it, you're the only one left.
255
00:31:00,290 --> 00:31:05,670
- Continue until she confesses!
- Yes, sir.
256
00:31:08,430 --> 00:31:10,670
- I'll confess!
- Stop.
257
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,060
So, who was it?
258
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,740
It was Lord Jang Hee Jae.
259
00:31:22,420 --> 00:31:24,610
What did you just say?
260
00:31:24,610 --> 00:31:27,810
It was definitely Lord Jang Hee Jae.
261
00:31:27,810 --> 00:31:32,340
He told me to say it was from
a distant relative of Suk Won...
262
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:38,070
Not possible.
Why would my brother do that?
263
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:43,500
That's why Lord Jo Sa Seok also sent
a message in the middle of the interrogation.
264
00:31:46,150 --> 00:31:49,430
- Hee Jae.
- Queen Majesty, why did you look for me?
265
00:31:49,430 --> 00:31:54,240
- Hee Jae, tell me the truth.
- About what?
266
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,260
Do you have anything to do with
the poison in Suk Won's food?
267
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,250
No. Why are you asking?
268
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,100
Suk Won fainted after having
rice punch from her family.
269
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:15,100
But it bothered me that you asked about
another child His Majesty might have...
270
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:18,430
And your name was mentioned
during the interrogation.
271
00:32:18,430 --> 00:32:21,710
My name was mentioned in the interrogation?
272
00:32:29,820 --> 00:32:31,160
What's going on?
273
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:37,310
His Majesty ordered everyone who may be
involved in this poison incident to be interrogated.
274
00:32:37,310 --> 00:32:39,620
Are you saying that I'm involved?
275
00:32:39,620 --> 00:32:46,010
Lord Jang Hee Jae has been pointed
out as the prime suspect.
276
00:32:46,010 --> 00:32:48,150
Arrest him.
277
00:32:49,170 --> 00:32:51,690
Who said that I'm involved in this?
278
00:32:51,690 --> 00:32:56,000
She already confessed. The court
maid who delivered the rice punch.
279
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,710
Hee Jae!
280
00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:03,130
No, I'm framed!
I'm caught in a trap!
281
00:33:03,130 --> 00:33:05,410
- Arrest him now!
- Yes, sir.
282
00:33:05,410 --> 00:33:08,800
Queen Majesty!
283
00:33:13,310 --> 00:33:15,130
Where is His Majesty?
284
00:33:15,130 --> 00:33:19,760
Your Majesty, my brother is involved
in the Suk Won incident?
285
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,940
I'm also puzzled by it, so I ordered
a thorough investigation.
286
00:33:24,940 --> 00:33:27,530
My brother wouldn't do that.
287
00:33:27,530 --> 00:33:30,830
Suk Won... He tried to harm Suk Won?
288
00:33:30,830 --> 00:33:38,770
I found it odd that she confessed so easily
after trying to kill her with poison.
289
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:45,020
If there is no crime, that will be revealed.
So don't worry too much.
290
00:33:45,020 --> 00:33:47,950
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
291
00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:55,910
The gate was opened by stirring up the heart
of the people with the Story of Sa
292
00:33:55,910 --> 00:34:02,130
and started a fire with Jang Hee Jae's
attempted murder of Suk Won with poison...
293
00:34:03,510 --> 00:34:07,650
Now if all the scholars of the
eight provinces rise up
294
00:34:07,650 --> 00:34:12,830
the King won't be able to protect
the Jang family any more.
295
00:34:13,830 --> 00:34:17,270
With the help of the scholars
from the eight provinces
296
00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:21,080
I hope the restoration of Her Majesty
comes to realization.
297
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,730
Of course, it should.
298
00:34:24,730 --> 00:34:33,930
I wonder how long the King will be
able to hold onto Jang's hand...
299
00:34:33,930 --> 00:34:36,340
I'll keep an eye.
300
00:34:36,340 --> 00:34:42,390
Your Majesty, kill Jang Hee Jae
and restore the previous Queen Min!
301
00:34:42,390 --> 00:34:49,560
Your Majesty, depose Queen Jang
and restore the demoted Queen Min.
302
00:34:49,560 --> 00:35:04,630
Please consider, Your Majesty.
303
00:35:04,630 --> 00:35:07,030
'Execute Jang Hee Jae...'
304
00:35:09,340 --> 00:35:13,650
'Depose the Queen who shares the same
blood with the atrocious Jang Hee Jae...'
305
00:35:15,050 --> 00:35:18,580
'Depose the Queen and restore Min!'
306
00:35:20,820 --> 00:35:25,690
Why is the restoration of Min mentioned
in the request of deposing the Queen?
307
00:35:45,430 --> 00:35:50,720
We could get to the demotion of Jang
with Jang Hee Jae's poison incident...
308
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:56,120
but it may not be enough to push
for the restoration of Queen Min.
309
00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:01,530
Then, now it's time to use
the card I've been hiding.
310
00:36:01,530 --> 00:36:03,650
The card you've been hiding?
311
00:36:03,650 --> 00:36:06,610
About the poison
incident of Queen Jang...
312
00:36:06,610 --> 00:36:09,270
But there is only suspicion and no proof.
313
00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:13,430
I have the proof of that.
314
00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:17,930
The court maid who added
poison in the food.
315
00:36:20,770 --> 00:36:24,380
Your Majesty, regarding the attempted
murder of Lady Suk Won with poison...
316
00:36:24,380 --> 00:36:28,450
our Western Party and the scholars
have two courses of action.
317
00:36:28,450 --> 00:36:31,480
One is to dethrone the current
Queen Majesty
318
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,160
and the other is to restore
the demoted Queen Min.
319
00:36:36,990 --> 00:36:40,080
The Queen didn't commit the crime herself...
320
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:45,720
Can the seat of the Queen be replaced
so easily like a snack in the market?
321
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:50,290
If there is a real crime that was committed,
deposing her is a possibility.
322
00:36:50,290 --> 00:36:53,070
A real crime committed?
323
00:36:53,070 --> 00:36:56,770
When the Queen Majesty
was Lady Hee Bin
324
00:36:56,770 --> 00:37:01,680
the late Queen Mother couldn't find the proof
even at the cost of throwing up blood...
325
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,570
Now our Western Party has the proof for it.
326
00:37:04,570 --> 00:37:07,110
The court maid who disappeared
at the time...
327
00:37:07,110 --> 00:37:08,980
So...
328
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,100
You'll use that card to depose
the current Queen
329
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:18,430
and restore the demoted Min?
330
00:37:18,430 --> 00:37:24,070
If it's discussed in the court that the mother of
the Crowned Prince fabricated a poisoning
331
00:37:24,070 --> 00:37:27,270
it could leave a big stain.
332
00:37:28,890 --> 00:37:30,290
Get out.
333
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:33,020
I said, get out!
334
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:54,420
Your Majesty, kill Jang Hee Jae and
restore the previous Queen Min.
335
00:37:54,420 --> 00:38:01,070
Your Majesty, depose the Queen Jang
and restore the demoted Min!
336
00:38:01,070 --> 00:38:14,450
Please consider, Your Majesty.
337
00:38:47,260 --> 00:38:52,900
Queen Majesty, your safety and
our Southern Party's safety are one.
338
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:56,260
You can't be pushed out
from here, Queen Majesty!
339
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:00,880
Yes, of course.
340
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:07,340
Your Majesty needs a tight grip of the Queen
title for Jang Hee Jae to save his life.
341
00:39:07,340 --> 00:39:12,200
So please, make a request to His Majesty.
342
00:39:13,380 --> 00:39:18,760
I'll give a careful consideration
and make a request to His Majesty.
343
00:39:33,740 --> 00:39:36,510
- Court Lady Eom.
- Yes, Queen Majesty.
344
00:39:36,510 --> 00:39:39,690
I'm going to His Majesty, so get ready.
345
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:45,750
If it's discussed in the court that the
Queen fabricated her own poisoning...
346
00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:49,130
it could leave a big stain...
347
00:39:51,220 --> 00:39:56,730
- Your Majesty, Queen Majesty is here.
- Good. Bring her in.
348
00:40:28,710 --> 00:40:32,860
- Queen...
- Your Majesty...
349
00:40:32,860 --> 00:40:37,360
I came here to tell you something.
350
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,010
Tell me something?
351
00:40:43,770 --> 00:40:45,500
Your Majesty.
352
00:40:48,250 --> 00:40:51,960
I think it's time.
353
00:40:56,490 --> 00:40:58,290
Time for what?
354
00:40:59,350 --> 00:41:03,520
Time to let go of my hand.
355
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,620
Queen!
356
00:41:08,180 --> 00:41:12,210
Please demote me and dismiss
me from the palace.
357
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:22,910
Even if you do that, I'd know very well that
you didn't let go of my hand.
358
00:41:22,910 --> 00:41:27,330
Why? What crime did you commit?
359
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:39,780
I'm too ashamed to say it...
360
00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:45,090
but I committed a big crime.
361
00:41:45,090 --> 00:41:48,980
Big enough so that our Yoon would be
embarrassed if he heard it.
362
00:41:48,980 --> 00:41:53,820
As his mother and as the
mother of the country...
363
00:41:53,820 --> 00:41:57,020
Enough, stop.
I don't want to hear it.
364
00:41:57,020 --> 00:42:00,540
Yes, I have to tell you.
365
00:42:02,330 --> 00:42:07,660
I thought I could love you all I wanted
only if I climbed to the Queen's seat.
366
00:42:07,660 --> 00:42:13,860
I thought no one would ignore me
for my low class only if I became the Queen.
367
00:42:13,860 --> 00:42:23,060
I was foolish to think that everything
would be settled if I became the Queen.
368
00:42:23,060 --> 00:42:27,260
Enough, you can stop.
Please stop.
369
00:42:27,260 --> 00:42:30,360
So, that's why I did it.
370
00:42:31,810 --> 00:42:36,130
To kick out the demoted Min
and take the seat of the Queen!
371
00:42:36,130 --> 00:42:44,000
I took the poison on my own.
372
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,890
Why did you say that!
373
00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:51,770
Do you know what it took
for me to keep it covered?
374
00:42:54,500 --> 00:42:58,630
You mean, you really knew...
375
00:42:58,630 --> 00:43:01,460
but you still made me the Queen?
376
00:43:02,450 --> 00:43:08,900
It took so much to get you there, so why
do you want to step down from it?
377
00:43:08,900 --> 00:43:15,480
I have to say it myself so that
you have a reason to depose me!
378
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:20,610
You wouldn't possibly be
able to do it on your own.
379
00:43:20,610 --> 00:43:25,170
So please depose me.
380
00:43:26,430 --> 00:43:32,560
And please remain as the wise king
for ten thousand years to come.
381
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:45,710
Your Majesty!
382
00:44:46,710 --> 00:44:48,180
Hee Jae.
383
00:44:49,660 --> 00:44:53,360
Your Majesty, please just kill me.
384
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:58,970
Because of my stupidity, I caused trouble
for you and the Queen Majesty.
385
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,430
I came to find out about something.
386
00:45:04,890 --> 00:45:09,160
Just why did you try to poison Choi Suk Won?
387
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,310
You should know very well that
my heart is only with the Queen...
388
00:45:13,310 --> 00:45:17,080
What more did you want
as the brother of the Queen?
389
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,390
That's...
390
00:45:20,390 --> 00:45:23,950
Did you hate the existence of a concubine?
391
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,350
Worried that she'd be a
threat to your sister?
392
00:45:27,350 --> 00:45:32,750
To be honest, I heard something.
393
00:45:32,750 --> 00:45:34,800
Heard what?
394
00:45:36,980 --> 00:45:39,020
Forgive me for saying this...
395
00:45:41,180 --> 00:45:45,510
I heard that Choi Suk Won was pregnant.
396
00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:52,380
- Choi Suk Won got pregnant?
- Yes, Your Majesty.
397
00:45:52,380 --> 00:45:57,520
In fact, I put a maid in Suk Won's quarter...
398
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,560
and she said that Choi Suk Won
was pregnant.
399
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:07,240
So, Your Majesty... I'll take
the blame for everything.
400
00:46:09,130 --> 00:46:16,840
The Queen's only crime is
having this foolish brother.
401
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,310
Please consider, Your Majesty.
402
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,600
I put a maid in Suk Won's quarter...
403
00:46:44,820 --> 00:46:48,390
She said that Choi Suk Won was pregnant...
404
00:47:14,710 --> 00:47:20,630
I've thought a lot over this...
and I think Choi Suk Won is your work.
405
00:47:20,630 --> 00:47:22,610
My work...
406
00:47:22,610 --> 00:47:27,410
To be honest, I participated in
sending Choi Suk Won into the palace.
407
00:47:27,410 --> 00:47:31,950
But what would a simple merchant know?
408
00:47:31,950 --> 00:47:35,930
I just pay an offering and eat the rice cake.
409
00:47:35,930 --> 00:47:39,780
Is that why you participated in the restoration
of the dethroned Queen, too?
410
00:47:39,780 --> 00:47:46,530
My my... It doesn't matter to me
if she's restored or not.
411
00:47:46,530 --> 00:47:50,870
But I am curious about what will happen
to the current Queen.
412
00:47:50,870 --> 00:47:55,410
I guess the Queen who committed a crime
will be dismissed from the palace.
413
00:47:55,410 --> 00:48:01,550
A thought just occurred to me...
414
00:48:03,390 --> 00:48:07,140
The quarter in the palace
you wanted to have...
415
00:48:07,140 --> 00:48:13,380
Is it... Chwi Seon Dang by any chance?
416
00:48:21,150 --> 00:48:23,500
Chwi Seon Dang...
417
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:29,640
Oh, the quarter Your Majesty
paid special attention to build...
418
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,640
If you'd give that to me,
I couldn't ask for more.
419
00:48:39,270 --> 00:48:41,780
She's the person you'll give
the palanquin to as a gift...
420
00:48:41,780 --> 00:48:46,410
As well as the mother of Joseon
and the mother of the Crowned Prince.
421
00:48:52,710 --> 00:48:54,970
Who the hell are you?
422
00:48:54,970 --> 00:48:57,700
Why do you ask now?
423
00:48:57,700 --> 00:49:03,200
Yes, I've always felt it...
424
00:49:05,070 --> 00:49:07,560
There is something in your eyes.
425
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:12,480
Did you... know the Queen in the past?
426
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,490
Know her in the past?
427
00:49:15,490 --> 00:49:18,190
You ask me as if it's an interrogation...
428
00:49:18,190 --> 00:49:21,570
and it sounds like an inappropriate relationship,
which makes me feel uncomfortable.
429
00:49:21,570 --> 00:49:25,820
Stop with the jokes, just say the truth.
430
00:49:27,630 --> 00:49:30,000
Did you know the Queen in the past?
431
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:39,570
No. I just need my revenge.
432
00:49:39,570 --> 00:49:42,130
Revenge?
433
00:49:42,130 --> 00:49:45,920
Jang Hyun took away the store
of my adoptive mother
434
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,170
and he even set it on fire.
435
00:49:48,170 --> 00:49:55,180
But as long as the Queen with
Your Majesty's favor was doing well...
436
00:49:55,180 --> 00:49:58,480
it was difficult to destroy Jang Hyun.
437
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:07,340
That's why I wanted to provoke your suspicion
that day and put Queen Majesty in trouble.
438
00:50:07,340 --> 00:50:10,800
But I'm not interested anymore.
439
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,610
Jang Hyun is already dead.
440
00:50:13,610 --> 00:50:17,750
I plan to put things in order and leave soon.
441
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,710
I'm not interested in what you'll do.
442
00:50:21,710 --> 00:50:28,150
But if you take another step towards me...
443
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,920
you will not avoid death.
444
00:51:01,730 --> 00:51:03,060
Your Majesty.
445
00:51:09,290 --> 00:51:17,740
It's been a while since I've seen
the moonlight with you.
446
00:51:20,300 --> 00:51:23,110
I should've brought our Yoon, too.
447
00:51:23,110 --> 00:51:29,870
No. I want to be alone with you right now.
448
00:51:31,170 --> 00:51:32,520
Ok Jung...
449
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,070
Your Majesty.
450
00:51:35,070 --> 00:51:41,030
Do you remember when I said that we should
live in Chwi Seon Dang for a long time
451
00:51:41,030 --> 00:51:44,990
and have lots of children as cute as bunnies?
452
00:51:47,460 --> 00:51:49,430
How could I forget?
453
00:51:50,930 --> 00:51:55,940
Looking back, it was the happiest time
when I was Hee Bin.
454
00:51:55,940 --> 00:51:59,700
You gave me Chwi Seon Dang...
455
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:02,610
and our Yoon was born.
456
00:52:03,740 --> 00:52:05,260
Hee Bin...
457
00:52:07,890 --> 00:52:14,900
Looking back, it was the happiest
time for me, too.
458
00:52:16,220 --> 00:52:19,580
Shall we go back to then?
459
00:52:19,580 --> 00:52:24,170
If we did, could we become happy again?
460
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:30,340
We can't turn back time that's
already passed, Your Majesty.
461
00:52:32,510 --> 00:52:40,770
I am happy just to look back
on the memories I've had with you...
462
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,860
no matter where I am after being demoted.
463
00:53:00,070 --> 00:53:03,970
I don't like memories
464
00:53:05,870 --> 00:53:08,880
if you're not next to me.
465
00:53:11,250 --> 00:53:12,550
Your Majesty.
466
00:53:38,470 --> 00:53:41,210
- Hyun Moo.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
467
00:53:41,210 --> 00:53:44,460
Strengthen the military camps
within the city gates
468
00:53:44,460 --> 00:53:46,320
and have the royal troops on standby.
469
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,060
And tell the Secretary
470
00:53:50,060 --> 00:53:54,920
to quietly prepare the dismissal of
the Head of Training and Minister of Military.
471
00:53:56,090 --> 00:53:57,640
Yes, Your Majesty.
472
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:01,800
I'm going to execute the reform.
473
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,260
From the Southern Party
to the Western Party.
474
00:54:05,260 --> 00:54:11,180
But before that, I'm going to meet
with Min Yoo Joong alone.
475
00:54:12,270 --> 00:54:13,650
Have him come to the palace.
476
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,360
Your Majesty.
477
00:54:32,410 --> 00:54:38,610
Why did you ask for me?
478
00:54:47,380 --> 00:54:54,250
Regardless of who I talk to in the Western
Party, the answer will come from you.
479
00:54:58,590 --> 00:55:05,650
I'm more than flattered that
Your Majesty thinks so highly of me.
480
00:55:05,650 --> 00:55:07,930
I'll get right to the point.
481
00:55:07,930 --> 00:55:13,680
I will depose the current Queen Jang
482
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:20,040
and I will have the Crowned Prince,
with no trace of any blemish...
483
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,680
be registered as the son of Queen Min.
484
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,150
Forgive me, Your Majesty...
485
00:55:27,150 --> 00:55:32,180
In order to prevent any unfortunate incidents
that might happen in the future
486
00:55:33,460 --> 00:55:39,570
Queen Jang should be demoted
and dismissed from of the palace.
487
00:55:39,570 --> 00:55:43,730
Then what should I do about Choi Suk Won?
488
00:55:46,810 --> 00:55:48,770
Choi Suk Won?
489
00:55:48,770 --> 00:55:51,270
The start of having the Western Party
become the controlling party
490
00:55:51,270 --> 00:55:54,560
and the restoration of Min.
491
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,330
The whole story of the attempted murder
of Choi Suk Won.
492
00:55:58,330 --> 00:56:03,220
Of course I know about it.
What should I do about it?
493
00:56:05,430 --> 00:56:10,430
I won't dig into it anymore.
494
00:56:10,430 --> 00:56:13,430
I'll also leave the current
status of Choi Suk Won.
495
00:56:13,430 --> 00:56:16,270
The reform of changing the controlling party...
496
00:56:16,270 --> 00:56:21,020
Given the current political situation,
it is possible.
497
00:56:21,020 --> 00:56:23,250
I'm sick of the incompetency of
the Southern Party
498
00:56:23,250 --> 00:56:27,410
and the difference in political directions.
499
00:56:28,710 --> 00:56:31,750
And the thing that the Western Party
desperately wishes for
500
00:56:31,750 --> 00:56:34,620
and what the heart of the people want...
501
00:56:34,620 --> 00:56:37,430
The restoration of the dethroned Queen Min.
502
00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:42,000
I'll accept them.
503
00:56:43,910 --> 00:56:49,310
But it's impossible to dismiss
the current Queen Jang.
504
00:56:49,310 --> 00:56:56,160
But Your Majesty, the current Queen Jang
already lost the right to be the mother of Joseon.
505
00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:00,440
The mother of the country
can't have any trace of fault
506
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:04,380
for her son the Crowned Prince
to take the throne safely.
507
00:57:04,380 --> 00:57:08,450
That's for the mother of the country,
but there is room for a concubine.
508
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:11,940
Meaning...
509
00:57:11,940 --> 00:57:15,180
Queen Jang will be demoted to Hee Bin
510
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,870
and she will stay in Chwi Seon Dang.
511
00:57:20,250 --> 00:57:25,660
I'm restoring the demoted Min as the Queen.
512
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,110
I will say no more.
513
00:57:45,700 --> 00:57:47,360
Queen Majesty...
514
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:56,640
His Majesty said it's only a move from
the Queen's quarter to Chwi Seon Dang...
515
00:57:59,530 --> 00:58:01,000
Your Majesty...
516
00:58:01,950 --> 00:58:06,530
can you still not let go of my hand?
517
00:58:07,950 --> 00:58:10,990
Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.
518
00:58:26,550 --> 00:58:29,330
I'm deeply moved.
519
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,830
Queen Majesty...
520
00:58:33,900 --> 00:58:39,670
You live up to the title of
Min Yoo Joong's daughter.
521
00:58:39,670 --> 00:58:46,970
Please establish the pride of
the royal family in the palace.
522
00:58:46,970 --> 00:58:51,230
Yes, Father.
523
00:59:45,520 --> 01:00:02,600
Clear the way!
The Queen Majesty is arriving.
524
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:32,420
Queen Majesty, congratulations
on your restoration!
525
01:00:32,420 --> 01:00:33,760
Thank you.
526
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:39,570
Please help me restore the order of
the internal court that must have fallen apart.
527
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:08,600
Yoon, I won't be able to raise you anymore.
528
01:02:30,820 --> 01:02:37,920
