[ Episode 7 ] Wow, how could you, Lady?

How could you come to my house and not look for me?

I'm disappointed.

Are you that gentleman?

It's him!

When I almost got kidnapped in front of the guest house,

he was there to help me. It was him, my lady!

"My lady?"

By "my lady," you mean...

By chance, did you participate...

Did you participate in the selection for the queen?

Yes.

I'm glad I ran into you.

Please don't take Wal in even if he comes back.

I can't be obliged to you much longer, Prince.

I'm grateful to you for everything.

Who are you?

My goodness...

I asked you who you are?

Hey!

Your Excellency.

- What are you... - Is Hong Yeon Kang Yi Soo's daughter?

Lock the front door and

- don't let anyone in the guest house. - Yes, Your Excellency.

Let's go inside first.

I asked you...

if Hong Yeon is the woman we made participate in the selection.

Is that why you came here in broad daylight?

I asked you if that's correct.

Yes, that's correct.

How did you learn that name?

I should've...

I should've known earlier. If I did...

I wouldn't have let things come to this.

Let's go to the brothel.

I'm sure Wal is there.

The brothel?

Right now?

I can't let him impose himself on the prince anymore.

I'm just...

I'm the prince's servant.

What did you say?

Who?

Strictly speaking...

I'm not exactly a servant.

I used to sweep floors in his house

and cut firewood too, but...

not anymore. Not anymore...

Hey!

How dare you joke around in front of His Majesty?

I'm not joking around!

So let me explain this...

I was originally an informant,

but the business failed and

I lived in the prince's house temporarily. Yes, yes...

An informant?

So now I moved out of the prince'ss house and...

I'm staying at the brothel.

Your Majesty.

Please cut this trickster's mouth.

He said he works for the prince and insisted to be an informant.

Now he's saying he lives in the brothel.

Officer Han, please show off your sword skills.

Cut this man's little tongue in exactly half,

- put it back together, and cut it again! - Excuse me!

How could you call me a trickster?

My name is Wal. Wal, okay?

Haven't you heard of that name?

I'm the owner of the biggest informant agency

in Hanyang, Buyong Agency!

So please go to the brothel

and try looking into it.

If you go there, there is an escort named Cho Hyang.

She sometimes finds clients for me too.

The reason why I went to Inwang Mountain was

to receive a commission that the escort got for me.

- Are you saying nothing but the truth? - Of course...

By the way,

why are you treating me like that, Mr. Eunuch?

What? How dare you!

You're the owner of Buyong Agency?

I thought it was a woman.

Yes, it's a woman and it's a man too.

I'm the man.

We're partners.

If so, where's your partner right now?

She's probably wandering from place to place like me.

- She didn't stay with you at the prince's house? - No, no.

She knew the prince first, but

I'm the only one who stayed in his house.

Anyway, if you go to the brothel,

you'll find out that I'm the owner of Buyong Agency.

So please look into it just one time, sir. Your Majesty.

Mr. Eunuch,

I'm sorry that I called you a eunuch...

Your Majesty.

Do you really believe in what that man says?

Wow, the king...

By the way,

wait a second...

I heard you passed away.

I never thought of Prince as a threat.

Thinking about it now, I could've suspected him.

He was brought in because of Jo Heung Gyeon's recommendation, was he not?

That is correct.

Does that mean he could be his accomplice?

By the way, Your Majesty, how about...

the owner of Buyong Agency?

You should go to the brothel and find out if what he said is true.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I almost didn't recognize you.

Why are you dressed like an aristocrat, not a shaman this time?

There's a reason for that.

I'm here to see Wal. Please tell him that I'm here.

You don't know where he is either?

Did something really happen to him?

What are you talking about?

Well, the thing is...

Actually,

he went to Inwang Mountain to meet with a client last night.

But he hasn't come back yet.

A client?

He's probably fine!

I'm sure he'll show up out of nowhere again.

You know how he is.

Please tell him that I want to see him when he comes back.

You scared me!

I'm glad I ran into you.

What happened anyway?

Why is the owner of Buyong Agency not returning?

Who's the woman just now?

What if I told you? Would you know then?

Don't change the subject. Where's the owner of Buyong Agency?

If only you kept your mouth shut,

you wouldn't have had to die like this.

What?

- Bye then. - Take care, sir.

Safe travels, sir.

I'm from a government office. Everyone should gather around.

Is this man the owner of Buyong Agency?

Yes, he is.

If it's about the owner of Buyong Agency,

Cho Hyang knows him better than anyone.

Where's that escort named Cho Hyang?

Come to think of it, I haven't seen her today.

Have you seen her?

Has anyone seen her?

Excuse me, sir.

Did you receive an order from the king by chance?

Excuse me, they must've

found out who I am by now.

For how long do I have to be tied up?

Were your mouths glued shut?

Anyway, I'm so worried.

I shouldn't have mentioned the prince. I only made things complicated.

Did they go to the brothel or not?

What if they pretended like they don't know me?

If they do, I'll go ahead and...

- He is certainly the owner of Buyong Agency? - Yes, Your Majesty.

He was all over the place talking nonsense,

but I guess not all of it was nonsense.

By the way,

the escort named Cho Hyang he mentioned

seems to have disappeared.

You mean she disappeared out of nowhere?

It seems that way.

Are you absolutely sure?

Yes, that woman wasn't Hong Yeon.

What should we do now, Father?

I don't want you to do anything.

Just treat her as usual.

But we should kick her out before the second round of selection...

I'll take care of everything myself.

So don't worry about it.

Yes.

Huh? Gae Pyeong!

When did you get here?

I haven't seen you lately.

Have you been away somewhere?

Yes, my lady.

You're back for good, right?

Don't you dare disappear without telling me again.

Yes, my lady.

Young Ji, go inside now.

See you later.

What's going on?

We almost got into trouble since the king found Young Koon.

But I just took care of it by framing the owner of Buyong Agency.

Good work.

Is it you, Gae Pyeong?

What are you doing here?

Are you worried about Lady?

She's been crying all day since she got disqualified.

I'm worried that something might happen to her.

Make sure to comfort her.

It's not like that would do anything.

Her only dream was to be with the king.

I wish she would at least have some porridge.

Did you find one, sir?

Would you be able to find a decent gun and a gunman?

Yes.

By the way,

What are you using them for?

Here's a picture of the king entering the palace with the new queen.

The royal throne right here

will be the target.

Would you give it a try?

Would you do it for Young Ji?

I ruined your plan, sir.

Please kill me!

It's not your fault that the king came back to life.

But...

you can't let them track you down.

I'm glad you took good care of it.

By the way,

I think the queen came back to life too.

The queen's mother who became a slave apparently disappeared.

Track her down

and go to Gyeonggido right now

and find out about Hong Yeon, the daughter of Hong Ki Ho.

Yes, sir.

I left this house empty since I moved to Gyeonggido.

It must be in a sorry state.

I'm fine with that.

I heard six candidates made it to the second round.

What was your rank?

I was in last place.

Last place?

I couldn't be punctual since there was a situation.

My lady.

His Excellency is here.

- Do you happen to know the prince? - Yes.

He helped me a few times by coincidence.

By coincidence?

Is that all there is?

Yes.

By the way, why are you asking me that?

You should start carrying on your father's plan.

The Theory of Englightenment is just the beginning.

I have something to show you.

Follow me discreetly tomorrow.

Before we do,

I'd like to see if my mother is well first.

You'd be able to confirm that tomorrow as well.

I ordered someone to bring Mrs. Han to Hanyang.

You should bring her to the headquarters tomorrow.

Are you really planning to bring her there?

Can we do that so soon?

There's a reason why we have to.

The prince knows her.

Pardon?

Sounds like they met by chance without knowing each other's class.

But I'm worried Prince might be changing his mind.

We should take care of things before Eun Bo changes her mind too.

Until this day,

I'm still hiding.

Is that so bad?

But I try to trip people, at least.

You should do the same from now on.

Thanks to you, I made up my mind as well.

I'll give that woman a dagger.

So she could aim his heart.

Chief Eunuch Hwang.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What do you do when you can not figure out the enemy's intention?

I think...

- you should follow... - I should confront him myself.

Yes, you should.

That's exactly it, Your Majesty.

I need to see Prince.

Pardon?

This is our headquarters.

Mother.

Eun Ki.

By chance...

Is it...

Eun Bo?

Eun Bo!

Eun Bo!

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Eun Bo, Eun Bo!

What are you doing right now?

Tell me why!

That woman is here right now.

I'd like to let her know of our intention before the second round of selection.

You'd better stop right now.

We'll remove her from the selection too.

We'll find another solution.

I opened up my heart to her.

I won't lose her to the king.

Neither the throne nor the woman!

How come everything I want belongs to the king?

He never does anything, but why?

I'll make sure she becomes mine.

Yes.

That should be enough.

- If she becomes mine... - Your Excelleny!

Please pull yourself together.

She's nothing but a disposable puppet.

That was your plan, wasn't it?

That's why I want to fix things.

Don't forget our mission.

Our promises, goal and the world!

That new world doesn't just belong to you.

It belongs to us, who have been dreaming and protecting by sacrificing for a long time!

You should never forget that.

You lost your memories too.

How have you been living such a rough life?

I should've... I should've looked for you a little harder.

I should've...

I've been doing well by being strong.

So don't be so upset.

I'm your little daughter who's as rambunctious as a boy.

You know me.

I finally got to get reunited with you.

I'm really okay now.

You've been doing well, right?

His Excellency Baek Ja Yong is helping me greatly.

He was your father's friend as you know.

You'll be staying with me from now on, right?

I have something I need to do.

Something you need to do?

I'll tell you soon.

Don't worry about me.

It's cold these days. Please stay warm.

Eun Bo.

We need to go back now.

I'll take good care of your mother. Don't worry.

Eun Bo.

I'll visit you again soon.

I promise.

Aigoo...

Hold on a moment.

Please... Please take good care of her.

His Majesty ordered you to come to the palace, Your Highness.

Has your life in Hanyang been uncomfortable by chance?

Not at all! The house is big and the food is tasty.

I gained weight because I'm so comfortable.

That is a relief.

Although this is not what either of us wanted,

but since you were adopted by the late king,

that makes us brothers.

But I have been too remote.

Did you feel hurt by chance?

Not at all!

You have no time to care for me.

You can just forget about me.

You could have become the king yourself.

Do you feel inconvenienced at all?

Please don't say that!

Please take that back! I'm afraid I'd get beheaded.

Do you know the owner of Buyong Agency?

What is that, Your Majesty?

I heard you two know each other well.

Of course!

Sir, sir, it's me. It's me!

You know me, I'm Wal!

This man is the owner of Buyong Agency.

You brought an unidentified man into your house?

Well, the thing is...

We don't really know each other that well.

We just had a mutual acquaintance...

He's shameless and he boasts whenever he speaks!

I don't care whether he's the owner of Buyong Agency or not.

I've been being lied to as well.

Sir!

Aigoo, he leeched off me saying he has no place to go.

I took him in out of pity, but he disappeared soon later.

I was wondering where he went to, and here he was.

By the way, did he commit a crime or something?

That's good enough. Let's leave.

Excuse me, Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! Sir, sir. Sir!

Sir, it's me. Sir, sir!

You know me. Sir. Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

I'll get going now then.

- Han Mo. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Make a man follow Prince and make him keep an eye on him.

Yes.

Who is that woman?

- Pardon? - I heard you say you stayed at Prince's house

because your partner introduced him to you.

How come your story doesn't match his?

The thing is...

I think Prince was...

I think I misunderstood.

Tell me that woman's name first.

I don't know.

You do not even know your partner's name?

It's not that I don't know, but...

Well...

The name I know is an alias.

People like me go by random names.

Some guys have two or three names too.

Sometimes, I go by

Wal and...

sometimes I go by Wol...

Some people call me Mung or Dog too.

Yes...

Anyway, hasn't my identity been proved now?

Didn't you confirm at the brothel?

The escort named Cho Hyang went missing.

Cho Hyang did?

- Why? - That is what I want to ask you.

If you were me, would you free yourself in this situation?

But if you want to be freed,

you should tell me who that woman is first.

We brought your mother back safely.

You'll be able to see her soon.

So don't be so disappointed.

Yes.

You must miss your daughter too.

It's all because of me...

She's been physically weak since birth.

It's probably better for her to stay in the mountain.

Well, by the way, what's the place called headquarters about?

I was surprised how elaborate it seemed.

Are there that many people who shared ideas with my father?

It'd be better for Baek Ja Yong to explain.

You just need to do your best to fulfill your duty.

Just prepare for the second round of selection.

Yes.

Should I...

just come clean about everything?

"Excuse me, sir. That woman is...

the queen's twin sister."

If I say that,

she would die.

And if I don't say that, I'd die.

Which one would die?

Should I be the one to die?

Should I just come clean about everything and...

survive on my own?

Or should I just come clean and get both of us killed?

Geez, why is that lunatic suddenly trying to become the queen?

She shouldn't have entered that stupid selection.

She's got a lot of nerves!

She's her twin sister...

What brings you all the way here?

The second round of selection is an important issue.

I should be of assistance by your side as your brother.

What a good excuse.

Here's the time of the six candidates' arrival predicted by the face reader.

Court Lady Jung should take care of this.

Will you let Court Lady Jung take charge of the second round as well?

Is there a problem?

- You prepared the mission for the candidates tomorrow, correct? - Yes, Your Highness.

I'm giving it my full attention.

What?

Court Lady Jung is taking charge again?

Yes.

Queen Dowager apparently put her in charge of everything.

Your Highness.

You need to help out Song Yi in every possible way.

Yes, the fate of our family is at stake.

Of course, I want to help her.

But they are preventing me from doing so.

What am I supposed to do?

Honestly, this is such nonsense.

How could the Queen Mother fall behind some court lady?

Not to mention the fact that it's regarding the selection.

I think...

Queen Dowager lived for too long.

Uncle, please...

It's just a manner of speaking.

Haven't you heard that the palace has ears on its walls?

That's enough.

She's on our side anyway.

Anyway, you need to take control instead of her.

Not only that you should help Song Yi,

you should kick out that woman from the Hong family too.

Do you have a solution by chance?

Please help me.

Please help me.

Please help me.

Did you have another dream?

This time, the queen

begged me to help her in my dream.

By the way, Your Majesty,

why would a woman who's entering the palace for the selection say that?

It's not like you're participating as a judge or anything.

Please don't worry so much.

Since everyone's here, I'll take you to the waiting room.

[Viki Ver] CSTV E07 'Queen: Love & War' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

You look happier than usual, Left State Minister.

But why do you look so upset, Your Majesty?

Why do you think that is?

Please do not be so upset no matter what it is.

I am worried that it might damage your health.

Thank you for the advice.

But I will not find it useful.

Your Majesty!

Have you not heard the news yet?

Queen Mother apparently has fallen ill.

My mother did?

His Majesty is here.

Are you feeling ill, Mother?

My body is ill since my heart is ill.

Great Royal Dowager Queen is here.

I heard you fell ill, Queen Mother.

- Your Highness. - It is okay, sit down.

I do not know what to say.

I think I am tired of my life in the palace where I have no one to rely on.

What do you mean, you have no one to rely on?

You have your family that fully supports you.

A family can only do so much.

I am just...

a scarecrow who can not even choose her own daughter-in-law.

I want to blame the former king who left me behind.

His wife is not even as useful as Court Lady Jung.

If this were my fate,

he should have taken me with him.

If you really want to play mother-in-law, I should let you.

Court Lady Jung, are you there?

Make Queen Mother take charge of the second round of selection again.

Pardon?

Yes, I'll follow your order.

Lady, do you remember drinking last night at all?

Pardon?

Seriously, you're such a bum.

Did I make a mistake by chance?

Anyway, it's been a while since we entered the palace.

How come we're not hearing any news?

I know.

Have some.

I made some because I heard pine nuts are good for nervousness.

Lady Ye Shil apparently made them herself.

You made them yourself?

I guess I can say that I'm a pretty good cook.

Why don't you try some too? It's supposed to be good for nervousness.

Who are you?

Why did you come back?

What's wrong?

Is there something on my face?

No.

Thank you.

Court Lady Jung told me to relay this message.

Since the candidates will receive a mission prepared for you,

you should pick a candidate yourself.

It was worth getting sick.

Yes, good work.

The second round is entirely up to you now.

Just do as you wish.

Disqualify anyone you want

and make sure that the one you want pass.

Well,

the thing is...

you apparently have to choose without seeing their faces.

What... What?

Here's the mission for the second round.

It's important for the lead lady of the court

to assist the royal family.

Starting now, you will

fulfill a filial duty to Queen Mother who's ill.

And as usual, the decision

will be made as fair as possible.

In this jar, there are missions you have to complete individually.

Please draw one of the straws.

Please fulfill your mission starting now.

The court ladies outside will assist you.

Lady.

Let's get up quickly.

Where am I supposed to find a hydrangea in this cold weather?

I was assigned as your assistant, Lady Hong.

Where's the royal kitchen?

Please follow me.

Ouch!

Your Majesty.

My apologies, Your Majesty.

I heard you managed to pass the first round.

Please be careful in everything you do.

Don't get yourself into danger.

Let's get going.

Your Majesty.

When I first came to the palace as Yedong,

you helped me as you did just now then too.

You scolded me back then too.

I...

will really work hard.

I'll work harder than anyone else.

Seems like you're on a mission. You can leave now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Stop pretending to cough

and go check on that girl instead.

By "that girl," you mean...

I can't seem to figure out which direction

to go to.

Which woman do you think I am concerned about?

Who is it...

Hey.

You should come with me.

What's it about?

It's a letter from Prince.

The king is apparently spying on him.

What do you mean, "spying?"

For what reason?

My goodness!

You came to the royal palace too?

And you did too.

This mission is easy because you just need to follow the prompt, don't you think?

What is yours?

I was told to make a dish using rice cake for Queen Mother.

Don't you think there was a mistake?

How could they be the same?

Is there a medicine called Heuksam?

Yes, there is, but...

This is for a mission. Could I have some of Heuksam?

I need Heuksam.

This lady asked for Heuksam too.

There's only one because it's a rare ingredient.

Give Queen Mother her favorite flower, hydrangeas

and make her feel better.

What's this about?

I'd like seeds for hydrangeas.

Each pair of the candidates were given the same prompt.

If so, would one of two ladies get eliminated?

And Mother does not know who she is picking either?

I guess you can say that.

Anyway, the decision is up to Queen Mother.

She will not be able to complain anymore.

So that is why you gave up so easily.

Did you want to see me because you were curious about my intention?

What are the missions for the ladies?

Please help me.

Please help me.

Is there a chance they might come to me

or get into danger at all?

Hold on a second!

What would I do if you take all of them?

It's first-come, first-served in situations like this.

What should I do with this Heuksam?

Give it to me.

Whare are you doing?

I was here first.

Let go of your hand.

You should be the one to let go.

You'll ruin the precious root.

Hey!

What?

Seriously...

Please...

There's no time! Please...

That's why you should let go.

Just act weak as usual!

No!

I'll never let go!

So you want to do this, huh?

Let's make it together then!

- What? - I can never give up.

And so can't you.

Both of us might get eliminated since we'd run out of time.

- We might as well... - Are you crazy?

Why would I do that with you?

If so, we'll both get eliminated.

What's the dish?

I need to write it down.

Well, the thing is...

It's a cold Omija tea with rice cake.

Omija is known to be good as refreshment

and since she might find it difficult to eat rice cake due to her illness,

I thought a tea form might be better suited.

Right, the honey is...

Well...

Could I borrow some honey?

I only have a spoonful left.

Would you like to have that much?

Thank you.

Hey!

Stop it right there!

What's the matter?

Why are you holding my hand?

Open it. Open it!

Open your hand.

What's this?

You taught you how to do something like this?

Come with me.

I'll have to take you to Court Lady Jung.

No, Chief Eunuch Hwang!

You'd get me killed!

Please forgive me!

Please forgive me! I'll never do that again!

By chance,

if something like this happens again,

I'll make sure that you get punished accordingly.

Do you understand?

Yes.

The time is up.

Please come to the Queen Mother's house.

Lady Hong and Lady Bang are here.

Come inside.

Come inside.

What did you prepare?

They're hydrangea seeds.

They're still seeds,

but they'll bloom when it's time.

I...

couldn't get hydrangeas, so...

I did embroidery instead.

Try some.

What do you think?

Well, it's not too bad.

Although it's not quite sweet enough.

This one has very beautiful colors.

What?

What's this salty thing?

How could you present this as food!

Why did you do that?

What do you mean?

You said you're a good cook.

This is enough for me.

I saw enough of the palace.

And I'm getting sick of living in Hanyang.

I miss my mother's food too.

Don't you think I look malnourished?

Geez, my cheeks are my best assets.

Also, most importantly,

His Majesty isn't my type.

I find the Chief Eunuch cuter.

You know, I've been keeping an eye on you.

Even when you had rashes on your hand

and when you got kidnapped,

you tried the best you could.

At first, I thought, "What a nasty woman."

But that means that's how badly you want it.

But still, this is the second round of selection.

Is it really okay to not do anything?

Do you really think I won't do anything?

What do you mean?

I'm looking for the real Hong Yeon.

Welcome!

- Let me ask you something. - Yes.

Hasn't the governor of Gyeonggi

order a large quantity of asthma medicine lately?

Pardon?

Well, he does once in a while.

So when would he come?

He comes on the first of every month.

So he'd come a week later.

I'll look into the details myself.

Also, we should try not to see each other often for now.

How come you only brought one bowl?

The thing is...

They say too much medicine can be poisonous.

We thought giving Queen Mother too much medicine

might be worse than giving her too little.

Since we were concerned about that,

after much discussion,

we decided to work on this mission together.

We thought that would be a good way to assist her.

That's a good point, but that's not what we intended.

There wasn't enough of Heuksam from the beginning.

But we decided to work together rather than fighting.

You probably didn't intend us to compete with each other.

If you did by chance,

that would make the prompt problematic.

You're saying we have to...

qualify both Lady Kim and Lady Jo?

Yes, Your Highness.

I regret to say this, but the prompt had a flaw

since I changed it in a hurry.

Even you make mistakes sometimes.

If so,

I just need to choose between these two flowers, right?

The seeds and the embroidery, huh?

I'll go with this one.

Is that it then?

Yes, Your Highness.

Who are the ones that made to the third round then?

Firstly, it's Lady Hong and...

What?

You mean I chose her?

Your Majesty.

I'm not sure if I should take the credit,

but apparently she was selected by Queen Mother.

Did anything else happen?

Not at all, Your Majesty.

You definitely had a silly dream this time.

Oh...

I mean, it's probably not a prophetic dream.

So please don't worry.

Your Majesty, It's Han Moo.

Apparently, Prince has not left the house lately.

I searched the brothel as you ordered too,

but it was empty.

The information about Young Koon provided by Buyong Agency was all true.

But the identity of the woman I met with that one time...

The missing escort and the prince.

There are too many suspicious things about that Wal.

I agree with you, Your Majesty.

He's a very suspicious man.

Is he still remaining silence?

He won't even budge.

Instead of keeping him locked up,

perhaps you should pass him to Royal Investigation Bureau and question him.

Go ahead.

What? What's this?

What's this now? Where am I going?

Hold on, hold on! Am I dying?

Hold on! No, I can't die. I can't die!

Excuse me! Excuse me! I can't...

Thank you for your hard work.

Please leave the palace now.

Can't you at least say goodbye for the last time?

Good luck with everything.

She should've made it to the third round, not me.

Hush!

What are you saying?

You passed because you did a good job.

So don't say stuff like that.

Know your places, country bumpkins.

By the way, I'm so sad that you're leaving.

Come by anytime you want!

I'll show you how tasty the food is

in Jeollado, okay?

Please have a safe trip.

As long as I have my litter

and beef jerky, I can travel anywhere.

I had a good time.

Thank you so much.

I mean it.

Come on, we're friends.

Make sure to become the queen.

Make sure not to forget about me, okay?

See you next time then.

Well then...

You should at least tell me where we're going!

Hold on, hold on!

- Hold on... - Stop being so loud!

We're going to the Royal Investigation Bureau.

The Royal Investigation Bureau?

Hold on...

Hold on!

What's he doing here?

Please don't, my lady.

I don't know what it's about,

but if he's being taken away by the soldiers...

It might be dangerous if you go now.

Good work.

I heard you made it to the third round. You did well.

Well...

I ran into someone I know at the palace today.

According to the soldiers, it seemed like he was being taken to the Royal Investigation Bureau.

Would you be able to look into it by chance?

I was actually waiting to talk to you about that.

Apparently, the owner of Buyong Agency has been held captive by the king.

The king?

Apparently, the royal soldiers showed up

at Inwang Mountain and the brothel lately.

Inwang Mountain and the brothel...

Do you know anything about this?

The king has been looking for the culprit of the assassination.

If the royal soldiers were on a secret mission,

it must have to do with the culprit.

If so, could it be...

You mean your colleague was arrested as the main culprit of that incident?

If that's the case,

he could end up dying, couldn't he?

That won't be all.

Your true identity might get revealed too.

Everything might go to waste.

What if I met with the king?

Please let me see the king.

That's the only solution.

Are you Hong Ki Ho, the governor of Gyeonggi?

Yes, Your Majesty.

What is the reason you wanted to see me?

The thing is...

Someone else resquested to see you.

Who is that?

It's my daughter.

Would you allow her in?

Let her in.

Have a seat.

Please don't kill the man who was arrested as the culprit

of the assassination.

Please let him live.

Please let him live.

Why would you...

How do you know that man?

I...

am the woman who saw you at the shaman's house.

I...

am Eun Ki, Your Majesty.

Why would you...

How do you know that man?

I...

am the woman who saw you at the shaman's house.

I...

am Eun Ki, Your Majesty.

[ Queen: Love and War ]

You're Eun Ki and the owner of Buyong Agency?

Are you making fun of me?

That woman is not Hong Yeon.

This might have to do with the dead queen.

Why did you lie to me?

What's your purpose,

and what can you achieve by making me the queen?

I need to know now.

I decided not to miss the opportunity to be by His Majesty twice.

A candidate of the selection should not have anything to do with the prince.

She is my woman.

She has been from the beginning.
