Prince Yeon Ing!

Episode 54

- Prince Yeon Ing! - Mother!

Mother!

- Mother! - No!

Your Highness!

Uncle! Mother is... Mother is...!

Summon the physician!

Chun Soo, Prince Yeon Ing must be... must be...

- Your Highness! - Mother!

Lock all the Palace gates. Let no one pass through.

Yes, My Lord!

We will go and lock all the Palace gates. Begin!

- Yes, sir! - Hurry! Hurry!

We cannot be taken by the guards. If we are caught, we must commit suicide.

- Do you hear me? - Yes, sir.

Let's go.

So the Crown Prince was in the library?

Yes, Your Majesty.

He has been taken to a safe place.

Your Majesty...!

You must hurry to Consort Sook's residence.

- Why? - Her Highness is in critical condition.

- What? Consort Sook? - Yes, Your Majesty!

The bleeding isn't stopping, My Lord.

Bring the Eclipta Alba and prepare the Hwangryun Detoxification Tonic!

Why can't you stop the bleeding?

A major blood vessel has been ruptured.

If she continues to bleed, her life may be in danger.

What?

Dong Yi!

Dong Yi!

What happened? How did this happen?

Dong Yi!

- Inspector! - Sir...

I will make them pay for this.

I need more Eclipta Alba.

- Excuse me, Your Majesty. - Dong Yi, can you hear me?

- Your... Your Majesty... - Dong Yi, you must persevere!

You must!

Dong Yi!

Lock all the gates and make sure no one passes through, do you hear?

Yes, sir!

It's no good here. Let's go to Yongju Gate.

Yes, sir.

It's the same here.

Let us out! We have to go home!

What's going on?

We put out the fire, so why can't we leave?

I told you can't leave until we receive the orders.

We have to leave!

Everyone, let's leave!

Halt!

You will not leave the Palace alive.

These are the men who attacked Consort Sook.

- Arrest them! - Yes, sir!

What do you mean we attacked Consort Sook?

Your shoes!

They're wearing hair shoes.

- Seize them! - Yes, sir!

Unless you confess who gave you these orders,

You will not be able to die.

Failed? They failed?

- My Lord... - Were any of them caught?

The men who weren't able to kill themselves were taken to the Tribunal.

Your Highness!

You have to leave.

Your Highness!

What happened to Consort Sook?

- Is she dead? - Your Highness, that's not important...

What happened to Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing?!

Your Highness...

- Chief! - Inspector!

- Did you catch them? - We have some of them in custody.

How is Her Highness? How is she?

Sir!

Her bleeding has stopped and she is now in stable condition, Your Majesty.

Dong Yi...!

Your Majesty...

- Are you all right? Can you see me? - Your Majesty...

How is Prince Yeon Ing? How is he, Your Majesty?

Move aside! I'm going to see my mother.

No, Your Highness! The Palace is still dangerous.

I'm sure Her Highness is safe, so please...

Mother was struck with a sword, Ae-Jong! Because of me...

So move aside, Ae-Jong! I want to see my mother.

Prince Yeon Ing!

Father!

- Prince Yeon Ing... - Father, Mother collapsed.

She... she...

Did you say they are Jang Hee-Jae's men?

Inspector!

Yes, Your Majesty, that is so.

Bring him to me. Bring him here before me!

Your Highness, you mustn't move yet.

Bring Prince Yeon Ing to me. I need to make sure he's safe.

- Mother! - Geum!

Mother, are you all right now?

Are you going to recover?

I'm all right. Were you harmed in any way?

- Ae-Jong! - His Highness was unharmed.

Mother...

Thank you. Thank you for being safe.

Thank you...

Your Highness, I've prepared a private army.

You must leave with them.

If I'm found out, you won't be safe either.

You have to come with me.

No. I'm not leaving, Older Brother.

Your Highness!

My Lord, you cannot stay here. The guards will be here any moment.

- Your Highness! - Go, Older Brother.

At least one of us must survive.

Your Highness!

- Secure Consort Hui's residence! - Yes, sir!

You want me to escape alone?

You want me to leave you and mother to escape alone?

I can't escape anyway. But you must live on.

- You must protect the Crown Prince! - No!

You have to protect him.

- You're the only one who can. - Older Brother!

I knew I wouldn't leave the Palace alive.

I prepared the private army for you.

So please promise me something.

I will take full responsibility for everything.

You must live on and watch the Crown Prince ascend to the throne.

- Older Brother... - Do you hear me?

The criminal Jang Hee-Jae is inside!

- Your Highness! - Older Brother!

- Seize the criminal Jang Hee-Jae! - Yes, sir!

- Older Brother! - Your Highness...

...remember what I said.

Older Brother! Move out of my way!

You cannot leave this residence right now, Your Highness.

We will come for you soon, Your Highness.

- Let's go! - Yes, sir!

From this moment onwards, no one can enter or leave this building.

- Do you hear me? - Yes, sir!

They weren't above performing such an atrocious act..

...in order to harm the late Queen, Your Majesty.

Consort Sook knew everything,

But for the sake of the Crown Prince, she gave Consort Hui another chance.

Even so, Consort Hui tried to have Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing killed.

How...? How could they do something like this?

- Mother! - Geum! No!

I cannot forgive you anymore, Your Highness.

I will not forgive you anymore.

I knew this would happen. Those wretches!

So is Her Highness all right? Is our Consort Sook safe?

Yes, her wound wasn't deep. They say she will recover shortly.

Those damned bastards! They should be boiled and skinned.

They've been after our Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing for so long.

Yes! Now they're all dead.

All that's left is for Jang Hee-Jae and Madam Yoon to be beheaded.

Wait. Why is it only them?

What about Consort Hui?

What? Do you think she'll be executed too?

Of course she should be!

Do you really think she didn't know?

She was the one who gave all the orders.

What? Consort Hui?

Consort Hui, my ass. I'm going to call her Jang Ok-Jung.

- Sir, that's a little... - Hey, no one try to stop me.

I'm going to kill her and then myself. That wretched Jang Ok-Jung...!

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm sorry. Where's that Jang Ok-Jung?

You're not going anywhere near her.

Last night, something unimaginable happened in the Palace.

They had contempt of the royal throne and the government.

They performed atrocious deeds and attempted to bring ruin to our nation.

I will not forgive them for this.

They set fire to Consort Sook's private house.

They performed black magic to bring harm to the late Queen.

Then in order to hide all their previous deeds,

They tried to have Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing killed.

No matter who is involved,

I will find every single one of all those involved.

And no matter who it is,

They will pay for their crimes with their lives.

Halt!

Her Highness didn't know anything. How many times do I have to tell you?

You can shred me into pieces, but you won't get anything out of me.

Begin the torture again!

Your Majesty...

You may interrogate Consort Hui.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Mother...

- Escort Her Highness. - Yes, sir!

Stand back!

Don't worry, Inspector. I will go by myself.

Consort Hui has just been taken to the Interrogation Hall, Your Highness.

Your Highness...

Halt!

Don't waste your efforts. It's all over.

You won't be able to cover up Consort Hui's guilt.

I'm not the one wasting my efforts.

Do you really think Her Highness can be ruined by the likes of you!

Is that so? Even if Her Highness ends up here?

- What? - My Lord.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Mother! Older Brother!

Wretches! How dare you bring Her Highness here?

You will not get away with this.

I will come back from the dead to kill you.

Silence! Prepare the interrogation chair!

- Yes, sir! - No! Kill me first!!

Halt! How dare you try to touch me!

I'm a Royal Noble Consort and the mother of the Crown Prince!

How dare you try to touch and interrogate me?

Your Highness, this is the Interrogation Hall.

You've been brought here as a criminal.

Criminal? Yes, I'm the criminal!

I knew about everything and I was the one who gave all the orders.

I was the one who brought in a shaman to do a black magic rite for the Queen's death.

I'm also the one who set fire to Consort Sook's house...

...and the one who ordered her killed.

Do you hear me?

I'm the one who tried to kill the Queen and Consort Sook.

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

Are you happy now?

Now take me and release my brother and mother.

No, it was me!

I was the one who set fire and performed the ritual.

No! It was me! I did everything.

I'm the one you really want. So release my brother and my mother.

- Now! Do it now! - Consort Hui!

Consort Hui.

Yes, Your Majesty. This is the truth you've been looking for.

I tried to have the Queen killed in order to become Queen again.

And I tried to kill Consort Sook and Prince Yeon Ing...

...to protect the Crown Prince.

Are you happy now? Did you get the answers you wanted?

Your Majesty!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness...

- Your Royal Highness! - Move aside!

Move aside! Did you hear me? Move!

No, Your Highness. You must return to the East Palace.

Move aside! I must see my mother.

- Your Highness! - Let go!

Mother!

- Crown Prince! - Mother...

Please don't forgive me, Mother.

Everything is my fault.

I'm to blame for what's happened to you.

You must leave, my son. This is no place for you.

- Mother! - Don't you understand?

If you do this, you won't be safe either.

I will receive my punishment too. Everything is my fault.

No, you must not say such things.

Look at me, my son. Remember this.

You must not waver. You must not collapse.

The Soron ministers will protect you.

You must not give up. You must become King.

Mother!

Do you remember what I did to protect you?

That is why you must live. You must live and become King.

Promise me you'll become King and ease the bitterness in my heart.

Promise me, my son.

Promise me you'll do this.

Mother, is that really true?

Is it true that Consort Hui tried to kill you and me?

- Geum... - Why? Why would she do that?

Why does she hate me so much?

- Did I do something wrong? - No, Geum.

But it's true that she hates me.

Isn't that why she tried to kill me?

The attendants at the East Palace said that...

I coveted the Crown Prince's position.

They said that's why Consort Hui hates me.

But it's not true. I never thought of such a thing, Mother.

I never thought of such a thing, Mother.

- Geum... - But I don't know why she thinks that.

You told me to be a good brother to His Highness.

But why does Consort Hui...?

Your Highness!

No, Your Highness! You cannot go out in your condition.

I need to speak to Consort Hui.

I need to speak to her and hear what she has to say.

Your Highness!

She tried to have Prince Yeon Ing and I killed.

I have to hear the reason why she felt like she had to do this, Lady Bong.

Your Highness...

How surprising that you would come to pay me a visit.

Do you want to see for yourself how pitiful my state would be?

If not, did you expect me to kneel before you...

...and beg for your forgiveness?

Yes, Your Highness.

You tried to have Prince Yeon Ing and me killed.

I need to hear the reason why you did this.

I need to hear you ask me for forgiveness.

Why did you do this?

I told you that Prince Yeon Ing would never go after the Crown Prince.

I told you that all I wanted was for...

The Crown Prince and Prince Yeon Ing to be good brothers.

I was sincere. What made you not trust me?

Do you really need to hear the reason?

I did it because I don't trust politics.

I did it because I don't trust the Palace.

Do you understand? Your words mean nothing.

Men who want power will use Prince Yeon Ing against the Crown Prince.

And you would succumb to it eventually.

Your Highness!

You want me to ask for forgiveness? Never!

I have done nothing wrong.

Do you understand? I'm sorry I didn't get to kill you myself.

So this is how it will end.

It didn't have to be this way.

We could have changed things.

When you came to see me, you spoke about destiny.

You said that one of us was predestined to be light,

...and the other shadow.

But you're wrong. There is no such thing as destiny.

You made these choices yourself.

What?

So don't blame politics, the Palace, or destiny, Your Highness.

It didn't have to end this way if only you had made different choices.

But now I know.

That nothing can be changed now.

Your Highness!

But you're wrong. There is no such thing as destiny.

You made these choices yourself.

Father, does this mean it's the end for Jang Hee-Jae and Consort Hui?

Yes, this is what people call karma.

When there's situations like this, I believe that there is a God.

That's why you must always do good and fear God.

It's justice served, but I feel a bit strange.

Everyone's going to die.

I know. I don't feel that good about it either.

Father, what's this smell?

It smells like meat skewers.

Meat skewers!

Let's go outside!

Bring the food out!

Be careful the food isn't burnt!

And you, go and invite our friends at Angook Village and Chungpa Village.

- Tell them I hope they make it. - Yes, Madam.

Be careful, everyone!

- Mother, what's all this? - I'm preparing for a feast.

A feast?

Yes, Madam Yoon and Consort Hui are going to be executed.

So I wanted to share the joy with others.

People are going to die. This isn't right.

What's not right?

I'm going to throw a feast everyday until their execution,

And on that day, I'm going to be at the front to watch!

Lots of rice cakes and delicious meat skewers...!

Ho-Yang, I think your mother is going to be punished by karma for this.

So scary! Let's go!

This meat skewer tastes so good now that Madam Yoon is going to die.

Delicious!

My Lady, has the sentence for Consort Hui been given yet?

It seems that His Majesty is still undecided.

What? Why?

Shouldn't the obvious sentence be death?

That's right. Her crimes are so numerous.

If you take everything into account, she has to be executed ten, twenty times.

Consort Hui is the Crown Prince's mother.

Perhaps that is why His Majesty is having such a difficult time.

Yes, the Palace still remembers what happened with Prince Yonsan.

It will be a great wound for the Crown Prince...

...if his mother is executed.

- Yes, you're right. - Yes, My Lady.

I heard the Crown Prince has been doing the repentance ritual for three days now.

His condition is weak. I fear his health will be harmed.

I know.

Father, please have mercy on Mother.

I'm to blame for everything.

Please... please spare her life!

Father, please have mercy!

Is the Crown Prince still outside the Grand Palace?

Yes, Your Majesty. He has refused food for three days.

Father, please spare Mother's life!

- I'm to blame for everything. - Your Highness...

Master, what if His Highness collapses?

I'm worried too, Your Highness...

Your Royal Highness...

Father, please... please forgive Mother...

Please... spare her life...

Please...

Your Highness!

Carry him!

Your Majesty.

Go to the Crown Prince and tell him for the last time what I said.

Tell him Consort Hui cannot be forgiven, so...

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

What is it?

My son!

Wake up! Come to your senses, my son!

Father...

Please... please forgive...

Crown Prince!

What? His Highness fainted?

Yes, Your Highness.

So how is he? Is he in critical condition?

Fortunately, the worst seems to be over.

You don't need to worry, Your Majesty.

The Crown Prince has recovered his vigor.

Indeed. Good work.

- Your Majesty... - My son...

I don't know what to say to you.

Father...

I know how painful all this is for you.

That's why I wanted to avoid all of this.

But my son, your mother Consort Hui is guilty of crimes that are unpardonable.

The things she did are unforgivable.

Father...

I'm sorry, my son.

I have no choice. Please forgive me.

My son...

At first...

At first, I was angry with you.

I didn't understand how you could have done those things.

How you could make the Crown Prince... and myself...

...make such a difficult decision.

I was angry with you.

But I realized that you aren't the only one at fault.

You were once so bright and radiant.

I am partially to blame for this.

But I cannot forgive everything.

You went too far for that to happen.

Thus...

You must commit suicide.

That is the last thing I can do for you.

Commit suicide?

No, Your Majesty.

I won't do that.

I will die at your hands, Your Majesty.

Please sentence me to death by poison.

- Consort Hui, that's...! - I don't regret anything.

Even if we could turn back time, I would have made the same choices.

But there is one thing I regret to my bones.

That I truly and sincerely loved you.

I should never have done so.

If I hadn't, I wouldn't have coveted so much,

...and hated Consort Sook so much.

So let me pay for the one thing that I did wrong.

Let me pay for my mistake in this way.

Ok-Jung...

Sentence me to death.

Please don't avoid the suffering you will go through...

...by sentencing me to death.

Isn't that the least you can do?

If you had truly loved me for a short period many years ago,

You should suffer at least that much.

Your Majesty, the ministers have assembled in the Great Hall.

My Lord, did you hear the news?

His Majesty is going to announce the sentence.

- The sentence? - Yes, that's what I heard.

Your Highness...

Today, I shall announce my decision in the sentence for the criminals...

...who acted in contempt of the Royal Throne.

Jang Hee-Jae and his mother Yoon are...

...guilty of committing unpardonable crimes against the nation.

Their unspeakable crimes...

...include performing rituals to pray for death for the late Queen,

...and attempting to kill Consort Sook.

How can they be forgiven?

Therefore, I sentence all those involved, including Jang Hee-Jae and his mother,

...to death and exile.

In addition, Royal Noble Consort Hui of the Jang Clan...

...did not live up to her duties as the mother of the Crown Prince.

She is guilty of masterminding all of these crimes.

Her crimes too, are unforgivable.

Therefore,

I sentence Royal Noble Consort Hui of the Jang Clan to the same judgment.

On this eighth day of the tenth month, her titles will be stripped from her.

She shall be executed by poison.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness! We are innocent, Your Majesty.

Poison?

Yes, Your Highness. We just received the decree.

When? When is the sentence to be carried out?

It's today, Your Highness.

What?

His Majesty has ordered her execution for today.
