Your majesty.
This is the room you'll be using from now on.
Although His Majesty has given you the right, you haven't got the title yet. So take care of your body and don't stroll outside.
Yes, Your Highness.
I understand.
This child is going to take care of you.
Now I'll take my leave.
Is there anything you might need?
No I'm fine. You may leave now.
Yes.
Get out of here.
Is there anyone there?
Your Majesty, thank you so much.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Hey, Guum-oak!
Are you having fun, my prince?
It's sure is a crazy world.
A servant like me becomes a concubine, and superior like you became a eunuch.
Isn't it such fun?
His Majesty is here.
He came on time.
He asked not to let anyone in.
I've heard you got a promotion.
Couldn't you help get him to come to my quarters?
Isn't knowing you from outside of the palace also a fate?
I have forgotten all events from before I came to the palace.
There isn't anything to remember, since you never helped me.
You are above your place now. You must be careful with your tongue not to cause any misfortune.
I upset your feelings, not knowing you are in a difficult situation because of me.
No, not at all. Actually, I haven't been feeling good regarding the Boo-won incident.
I don't know why the Queen Mother is being so harsh on me and the young prince.
Your Highness.
I'm so sorry about Boo-won.
How can I dare blame you?
I must be lacking the qualities of a good king.
What are you saying, Your Majesty?
The late king always mentioned that only you know of how to rule.
How can there be an authority over you? *** speaking of the Queen Mother ***
I just feel pitiful and stifled.
You need to make a decision to take away the Queen's title.
There is no reason to take her title away.
What?
With both wings cut off, if she has an accident, who would care about the truth?
You don't need to worry about her.
She has survive 30 years in a turbulent palace.
Do you know why she only has one ear?
She heard something she shouldn't.
She is a smart one.
She knows the flow of events better then anyone.
I heard that you went to Soo-yong Queen's quarter.
Do you know anything about poison?
I have a little experience from when I was younger.
How can you carry such an object in the palace?
That will be big trouble.
But to the eyes of ignorant, it's just a stone.
Do you know how to make poison using that?
You need to burn it first.
Prepare it and be ready.
If that mother and a son don't leave the palace willingly, there is only one other way.
I heard that there is a sale for His Majesty's sleeping quarter decision.
Me? How could I dare?
Please bring His Majesty to my quarters on the 3rd of next month.
I mustn't.
Who knows? If I get a prince, you might get a promotion. I mustn't.
Who knows? If I get a prince, you might get a promotion.
Even eating you, frog, isn't giving me energy...
There ...
Being in the pharmacy for 30 years, I know the need by hearing one's foot steps.
Let's see if there is a place for a son.
Please remove all personal feeling.
Since there isn't a lot of chances, you must make sure of it.
Okay, Okay.
Your breasts aren't even. Are they?
No, they are.
If so it requires us to use a different medicine.
If they're uneven, you'll have a harder time conceiving a son.
Your breasts aren't even, are they?
They are even.
There, there. Let's take a look.
I can't tell by just looking. I must feel them.
I told you they are even.
You are right. It's a relief.
This one goes in ... is this one for a son? This one will change from a daughter to a son.
Take it on the 14th day.
On the 14th day, right?
Wait a second. This one's for a son.
Oh well, she took the one for the daughter.
People's mind are so cunning.
I never thought I could be up, but once I got up I don't want to get back down.
Isn't that right, Your Highness?
Having His Majesty once made me wonder, maybe I can become a queen as well.
Don't you know who you are in front of?
You must speak careful.
How dare you tell me what to do? Huh?
Who do you think I will help if I have His Majesty's mind?
Do you think I could hurt you?
I know what you mean.
Okay. What can I help you with?
If I want to stand out, I must decorate myself a little.
With some jewelry ...
You probably know better than me, so help yourself.
When you have a heir to the throne, I might build a small quarter far away to stay in.
It's my sin that I haven't conceived an heir for you yet.
Your Highness, His Majesty has a bad headache today. So, he won't be able to come here tonight.
Did he not come knowing that it's a lucky day that comes around every 4 years?
Yes, he did.
Let's go. I must go see him since he is ill.
Have you learn how to become a good king?
It is okay to tell me.
Yes, Your Majesty. It's "myung", "chal", "tong".
Then what is the meaning of "myung"?
Myung is having clear sight and a good ear.
With your eyes, you should see far with clarity. With your ear, you must hear the needs of your people.
That's right.
You did good. Here ...
Your Majesty, the medicine is getting cold.
I'm not a king. but a tool to produce an heir.
That isn't true.
How can having an heir to the throne be taken lightly?
Shut up. You drink it.
It would've been better if you became a king instead.
Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is entering. It would've been better if you became a king instead.
Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is entering.
Do you know which occasion this is?
I'm not just your son but the King of this nation.
Do you think you are a King just because you are sitting on a throne?
You don't join in on cabinet meetings.
You haven't granted me any chance to accomplish anything.
You keep all the power to make any decision.
Now you're asking me to be a scarecrow/puppet.
I would step down without a word after having an heir to the throne and things become stable.
When would that be?
What?
Why didn't you just take the throne for yourself instead?
I'm sick and tired of having to mate in front of you.
I'm only expected to produce the seed.
It doesn't have to be with the Queen.
Since it's a luck day ...
Let's give a concubine some chance as well.
Who is it?
It's Guum-oak. *** it really wasn't ***
Let's go.
How dare ...
Your Majesty.
Why do you have this on you?
Your Majesty, that's because ...
I just asked you why you have this on you.
That ... that's because ... because ...
Your Majesty.
There is something I would like to tell you.
Your Majesty should definitely know about this matter.
Why is this in the hand of other person?
Please do not get upset and sit first.
Don't you know how I really feel?
Do you hate me so much?
I ... I'm not as good as that eunuch?
Bring him in.
I thought I recognized him.
Isn't he the one who used to live in the same house?
How can you disguise a man like him to bring him into the palace?
You must speak carefully.
Please explain yourself.
Why is this person here in the palace?
Although he was from the house I grew in, only after eunuch introduction did I recognize him.
Are you asking me to believe you?
I vividly remember his stare towards you.
Your Highness and this jerk definitely ...
Who's the father to your son - you weren't pregnant for the whole term?
Is he really my brother's son?
Take his clothes off him.
I need to confirm that he is truly not a man.
Your Majesty, do you need to go that far?
Take his clothes off now!
Your Majesty, why would you want to see a monstrous thing like that?
Now please take your leave.
Your Highness, don't you know?
Do you think that I really don't know your heart?
As the Queen Mother watches each and every move ...
I don't care about the Queen Mother, or anything else.
Please look at me.
I'm so ashamed. Why do you think that I continue?
Your Majesty.
You may come back when you truly becomes a King.
I'll become a King. I will definitely become a King.
What happened last night with His Majesty is against heavenly rules.
Others should not find out about this.
Yes, Your Highness.
You know the truth ... you know what I've done to give him the throne.
Get rid of them.
Why ... why didn't you tell me? *** familiar term speech ***
What would change by telling you? *** familiar term speech ***
If you had just told me what happened ... *** familiar term speech ***
Let's leave. *** familiar term speech ***
Leave? We tried that once before. *** familiar term speech ***
Instead of living this way, let's just leave everything and just take off. *** familiar term speech ***
When we get out of palace, we'll all be murdered. *** familiar term speech ***
I can't let harm come to the child. *** familiar term speech ***
No matter what, he is the prince of the late king. *** familiar term speech ***
You will die because of that one reason. *** familiar term speech ***
No ... No matter what, I will protect him myself. *** familiar term speech ***
What ... what shall I do? *** familiar term speech ***
What would you like me to do for you? *** familiar term speech ***
Your Majesty, that is the 40th arrow already. Your health ...
You asked for me, Your Majesty.
Take a shot.
I want to see your skill.
How could I dare to hold your bow?
Give him an arrow.
Kwon-yoo.
What reason did you have to hide your identity and came into the palace?
I've became a eunuch because it was only way a man without manhood can succeed.
How dare a person like you had feelings toward a royal concubine?
Feelings? No, there couldn't be such an emotion.
I must go to the Queen's quarters. As I made a big mistake yesterday, I must apologize.
Instead ...The Queen Mother is still waiting for your morning visit ...
He's still suspicious of the matter.
You can't live this way forever.
Your Majesty, you shouldn't be doing this.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, what are you doing?
Kwon-yoo ... where is Kwon-yoo?
Call for him.
I will no longer take medicine like that.
But Your Majesty, the Queen Mother checks on your medicine everyday ...
Then you take it.
What? For me, trying to suppress the male hormone, I don't even consume Kimchi with garlic. How can I take this type of medicine?
Oh ... does a man without manhood have a sex drive?
I'm sorry to say, but having no ejaculation doesn't mean that there is no sex drive.
Kwon-yoo ... you drink it.
Why? You can't drink it? Are you worry about having a sex drive?
Drink it up.
I can't let my child be in danger.
No matter what, I will protect him.
Since you don't even have the root of it, there is nothing to worry about.
What is wrong? How can this be?
Who is it? Who ordered this?
Please calm down, Your Majesty.
I don't know anything ... as on any other day, I got the ingredient and made the medicine myself ...
Your Majesty.
I will killed anyone who speaks of this news.
Call in a doctor secretly. Save this jerk.
I have to hear something from him.
Please spare my life, Your Majesty.
I really don't know anything about this.
Bring in the evidence.
Do you know what this is? This came out of your room.
I really don't know anything.
Did the Queen Mother ask you to get rid of me?
That didn't happen, Your Majesty.
Then who takes care of all the ingredients? That didn't happen, Your Majesty.
Then who takes care of all the ingredients?
You shall not deny that knowledge.
It's Yoon-jungho Minister.
His Majesty ordered that no one be let in.
Here. Here.
Here, come out of it.
Water ... water.
Here you go.
M ... more.
Are you okay now?
I'm like a pumpkin leaf that got hammered by hail.
I must look terrible.
This is not too bad.
He revealed the Yoon Minister's name.
Soon there will be blood all over the palace.
So, let me go first.
What do you mean?
You know better than anyone, what power does to people.
His Majesty probably wants to use this latest event to solve his own agenda.
They say even rolling on a field full of dog poop is better than dead. I don't want to live like this any longer.
I can't do it.
If the King want your name as well, what would you do?
What are you doing?
I will take you outside of the palace.
It's no use. I'm already too tired.
I told you I will take care of everything.
Hey ... Thanks for not making me so lonely.
I'm sorry that I go first.
Put that down. Please put it down.
Stay alive.
Phil-il, you ...
Please don't wonder around as you go off.
Just head towards ... just head toward the light.
I will bring the prince back safely.
I will see you soon so - don't worry.
Mother, I don't want to leave.
Mother. Mother.
Are you sure you are not telling a lie?
How dare I tell a lie to you, Your Highness.
She passed the eunuch's son off as heir to the king.
She got the queen's position with a lie?
How dare she ...
Is there someone out there?
Yes, Your Highness.
Take her to the secret palace.
M ... me?
Your Highness. I would rather become a servant again.
Just don't send me to the secret palace.
Instead of going to the secret palace, I would rather die!
Kill her.
Your ... Your highness! No, Your Highness ... Your Highness!
Your Highness! Let go! Let go! Your Highness.
Why are you doing this to me? Your Highness!
Your Highness, please save me. Your Highness! Let go! Please save me! I don't want to die!
I'm sorry!
We have an order to bring you from the Queen Mother herself.
Yoon-jungho Minister come out and receive the order of the King.
You jerk. How dare you come into this quarter?
What are you doing?
It's your King's order to arrest Yoon-jungho minister as a traitor.
What treason? Get out of here.
I'm sorry Your Highness. The King has ordered his imprisonment right away.
The King's order?
Who do you think gave you that position?
How dare you aim a sword towards me?
You dare to aim a sword toward me.
I'll go see His Majesty, so go take care of the bitch in the secret palace.
Your Majesty, the head eunuch has arrived.
Your majesty.
Where are you, Your Majesty?
I came knowing that you're here.
Come out here, Your Majesty.
Since I got up here and look down, I understand why you like it up here.
What are you doing there?
For what reason did you have Yoon-jungho Minister put in prison?
I heard that you pushed back the soldiers I sent.
How dare you send soldiers to your own mother?
I must be a puppet King.
How much did you like that place? Cutting off my four limbs and making me a puppet.
Now you are trying to get rid of me?
What are you talking about?
Did you order me to be poisoned?
Your Majesty.
The royal doctor has already confessed everything.
You conspireed with Yoon-jungho Minister and tried to kill me?
What? You are speaking nonsense ...
Right? I also couldn't understand it.
Your man, Yoon-jungho Minister, couldn't have conspire by himself.
This is slander.
This must be Soo-yong Queen's doing.
That bitch, I will just ...
Oh ... ok. I understand it all now. Make her the villain by putting poison in the medicine.
Kill me, then kill Soo-yong Queen and the young prince as well.
Who were you going to use to fill this empty space?
What are you saying?
The Yoon-jungho Minister and I have lived to put you on the throne.
Truly, you have lasted a long time.
Kill her.
Yes sir.
Who are you people?
Go away! Kill them all.
Do not spare any of the traitors. Kill them all.
Yes sir.
Do you know what a bitch Soo-yong Queen is?
The late king could not have a child.
Can't you tell the truth for once?
Did you already forget? Your King died after the birth as well.
After that, I used the medicine on the late king. Although I was suspicious of the pregnancy.
Po ... poison. Did you use the poison on him?
Who told you to do such an act?
For whom ... For whom did you do such an act?
When did I ever tell you that I wanted to be the King?
When did I ever tell you I wanted to be the King?!
Baby. Look at me.
I'm the mother who protected you from this turbulent palace.
Why did you make me a King, and turn me into a person who can't trust you.
Can you not trust your own mother?
Truly, will you go against your mother's will?
When we face them we shall find the truth.
Is there anyone outside?
Bring in Yoon-jungho Minister and Kwon-yoo.
That won't happen.
I will make sure that it happens.
Yoon Minister.
As the head eunuch, I've followed your orders and brought the wrongdoers.
This person has confessed the truth.
Also, the proof was found in his quarters.
Who do you think the royal doctor identified as the source of the poison?
How should I know that?
Why can't you say it?
I know nothing about the matter.
Aren't I the one who drank the medicine?
Then you want me to ask you why you hesitated when I ask you to drink the medicine? Aren't I the one who drank the medicine?
Then you want me to ask you why you hesitated when I ask you to drink the medicine?
You already knew about the poison in the medicine.
Your Majesty.
That's enough.
I'm the one who is asking this eunuch.
You definitely knew about it.
How did you know about the poison in the medicine?
Your Majesty, don't you know what a bitch Soo-yong Queen is?
That eunuch and the bitch conspire together to ruin the kingdom together ...
You need to bring her in to confess right now.
That's right.
I am the wrongdoer.
I have wronged by conceiving a prince by the late King, as well as by being alive.
You have indeed. Using a prince to ruin this kingdom is indeed a wrong doing.
Also, troubling your king by being alive is wrong doing.
However Your Majesty, who is that person? He is the underling of the one who's responsible for my father's death.
How can anyone in this world conspire together with the person who's responsible for your father's death.
You bitch. How dare you show fake tears?!
What would a little one know and what could he possibly do?
How can I be ambitions for your position? I would rather choose death by biting my own tongue.
However, I could not die with a misunderstanding.
Tell the truth with your own tongue.
Who ordered you to put poison in the medicine?
The Queen Mother asked me to make the poison.
With that poison Yoon-jungho Minister has ...
This is slander.
Your Majesty.
What are you doing?
Why did you do it? You wanted this throne so much you wanted to kill me for it?!
Tell me.
You must calm down.
The Queen Mother is losing breath.
Your Majesty.
Except him, take the others and kill them all.
As for the Queen Mother, do not let her out of her quarters.
If there is anyone who tries to contact her, I will punish them with the most severe punishment.
Your Majesty. Your Majesty. I'm innocent, Your Majesty.
Thank you for keeping your promise.
I will always remember your good deed.
Please protect our child.
Our child?
The Prince is no one's child. He is my child.
When you become a real King ... you may come back.
Is is all done now?
Would you take me now?
The King has passed. The King has passed. The King has passed.
... You must control your own mind in order to put your best effort into the care for the well of the nation.
Do you understand me?
Your Highness.
Has it actually happened?
I'm so sorry, Your Highness.
Then, you came to fetch me.
I have a favor to ask you.
