I wanted to have a drink with my two sons.
Pour me a drink.
Come on.
Yes, father.
Father.
It's my birthday today.
Give me the drink you received.
I will consider it an honor.
You want this drink?
Yes, father.
My son poured it for me to celebrate his birthday.
Father!
Father.
Actually...
I know what you're worried about.
I'm alright.
Father.
The wine tastes very good.
Father, let me pour you a drink, too.
I'm tired.
I'll accept a drink from you next time.
Don't worry about me. Have a nice time.
Your Majesty.
Father.
You must not say anything.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Father!
Leave us.
I'm so sorry!
Xi.
I will follow you.
I will pay for this with my life.
You!
You fool!
How dare you talk about death so lightly?
You still don't understand my intentions?
Father.
You committed a wrongdoing?
A son's wrongdoing is the parent's fault.
I will take responsibility.
Don't ever commit the same wrongdoing again.
That's what you have to do.
Don't worry about me and go back to the party.
I would like to rest.
Is anyone there?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Now!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Murong Bao's quarters
Something's strange.
Yes.
His Majesty is ill, but he attended the party.
Prince Murong Xi's actions were suspicious, too.
Do you think he tried to...
General Yangyou was with father.
He should know something.
Find him and see what's going on.
Yes, crown prince.
Yangyou's quarters
What brings you here?
I have a royal order.
General!
What happened?
Get the doctor.
Get the doctor!
Yes, sir.
Murong Xi's quarters
Prince! Prince!
What happened?
Thanks.
Prince, it won't be any use.
It would work for a healthy person, but His Majesty is very ill.
I was told it wouldn't do much good.
I'm sorry.
No, father was healthier than anyone.
This antidote must work.
It must!
Crown prince.
I want my questions answered truthfully.
Yes, crown prince.
Why did His Majesty attend Murong Xi's birthday party?
Well...
Please give me a break.
Tell me everything you know.
What I know is that His Majesty drank poison.
He vomited blood.
It means he ate poisoned food or wine.
Quiet!
How dare you? Poison?
Please spare my life.
Father!
Father.
Actually...
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Xi! You!
Bao.
Do you know what you did?
How dare you?
Make me pay for this later.
Father.
Father!
Father.
You must take this.
You!
No!
What are you doing?
How dare you?
Do you know what that was?
Stop it.
Father!
Father.
You raised your sword at the wrong person.
He tried to kill me.
He tried to kill you.
Who did?
Xi would never do that.
Don't try to cover it up.
I know.
Why did you drink the poison?
Who is saying such nonsense?
I could die soon.
Stop talking nonsense.
Father!
Bao!
Bao...
You will become the emperor soon.
An emperor's position isn't one where you can have everything.
It's one where you have to let everything go.
Just think about the future of Houyan.
Xi, you are the best general in Houyan.
You must unify the generals under your command.
I'm not mistaken.
You are.
Father.
Even if something like that happened, forgive him.
Think of it as a mistake.
Take care of your brother for as long as you live.
That is an emperor's generosity.
I trust you.
Houyan became this powerful because of the two of you.
Bao.
Xi.
Don't forget.
You are my sons.
I will be proud of you even after I die.
Yes, father.
Father.
Don't cry.
I'm tired.
I have to rest.
Father. Father.
Father!
I'm so sorry.
Please get up.
I will never do something like that again.
Father!
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your...
Your Majesty!
In 396, Murong Chui passes away.
He had a life full of ups and downs and raised Houyan on his own.
He overcame the difficulties of the era of Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms.
He constantly attacked Goguryeo to possess Yodong.
He couldn't overcome Gwanggaeto and passed away.
After Murong Chui passed, Beiwei and Dongjin pressured Houyan.
To overcome the crisis, Houyan aims for Goguryeo again.
Gungnaeseong, capital of Goguryeo
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, Murong Chui passed away.
I will have to go and pay condolence.
You want to go yourself? It will be like entering a lion's den.
He's right.
There were many ill feelings towards Goguryeo.
They will be very disappointed with you.
They sent people to pay condolence when commander Ko Mu died.
If he was healthy, he would have come.
That's why I must go.
We can't know what they will do.
He might be an enemy, but we did have a relationship.
I should see him off to the next world.
There is another reason I should go.
Houyan forced Goguryeo migrants to Magoseong, the border of Beiwei.
How can they do such a thing?
They're using our people as shields.
If that's why you want to go, that's a diplomatic matter.
Paying condolence is a separate matter from the migrants.
He was the emperor of Houyan, but he was family to Damju.
If I can settle the matter of the migrants while I'm there, that would be good.
That is right.
They sent an envoy to pay condolence.
Why should we be afraid?
We could show Houyan our power.
He's right.
It's a chance to show them Goguryeo's power.
Form a condolence party.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Make way for His Majesty!
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
Murong Chui's shrine, Houyan palace
I will forget your treacherous action against me.
I will abide by father's wish and try to embrace you.
I'm sure you understand father's will, too.
Yes.
I will be loyal to you with my life.
All this was a ploy by Damdeok to cause hostility between us.
Do you know that?
I'm so sorry.
We are at fault, too.
We gave him room to do that.
I ought to rip them to pieces, but I won't go against father's will.
Give everything you have in making Goguryeo fall.
That is the only way to be forgiven for what you did to father.
I will remember that.
Crown prince.
The king of Goguryeo is here.
Damdeok, you sure have guts.
I am sorry to hear about His Majesty.
Thank you for coming.
Murong Bao's office
I didn't expect you to come in person.
You sent a condolence party when commander Ko Mu died.
Even if you had other intentions.
Did you say other intentions?
Acting submissive, but looking for ways to betray someone.
Aren't you better at that than me?
Do you think I don't know what you did with Ha Muji?
There won't be any internal dispute as you hoped for.
If you took Houyan that lightly, you were mistaken.
We are both rulers of countries.
We have to act for national benefit.
We can't act out of personal emotions.
There is nothing I couldn't do for Houyan.
I have to go to the bathroom.
I held it in too long.
You're not the same person I took hostage before.
You are like a true emperor now.
But remember this.
If you take Goguryeo lightly, Houyan could disappear.
That will never happen.
I will do that. Envoy's quarters, Houyan palace
- Go ahead. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Damdeok.
Damju.
You must be upset.
Thank you for your concerns.
Have a seat.
Sit down.
There is a rumor the emperor was poisoned.
Is that true?
They're keeping it quiet,
but I hear it was because of the wine he drank at Prince Murong Xi's birthday.
He made that decision to prevent internal dispute.
Even Murong Chui ended his life worried about his sons.
Murong Bao seems to be in rage.
He will try to attack Goguryeo.
What will we do?
You don't have to worry about that.
I'm worried he will take his rage out on you.
Don't worry about me.
Did you hear about the migrants?
I sent Yeo Seokgae to Magoseong.
I should hear from him soon.
Goguryeo migrants' village, Magoseong, Houyan
Father.
Mother.
I ought to...
General.
If you take action now, we will all be captured.
It's past meal time, but there isn't any smoke from the chimneys.
I'm not sure if people live here.
We should meet the chief.
Let's go.
Migrant village chief's room - Have a seat. - Thank you.
We are Cheongun of Goguryeo. His Majesty sent us.
He said to take care of you.
His Majesty sent you?
Yes.
He said to report on the situation here.
Do you know whose fault this is?
It's because we tried to help the crown prince of Goguryeo.
Our plan to kill Murong Chui failed.
This is their way of taking revenge.
Young men are being forced to do hard labor.
The lord of Magoseong takes young women to make up for taxes.
People are starving and dying.
The migrants are disappointed with Goguryeo.
What should we do?
Take us to Goguryeo.
That is the only way to save us.
I don't even expect that much.
I just want to go back to our old village.
Chief.
What is it?
Sohwa... Sohwa...
Sohwa! Sohwa!
Sohwa...
She was taken as the lord's servant because they couldn't pay taxes.
Sohwa.
She was supposed to get married soon.
She was such a good person.
Chief!
Chief, soldiers are coming.
The fortress lord is mad because Sohwa died.
If anyone has unpaid taxes, they are going to take them.
What?
What are you going to do?
This isn't living.
I'm going to take revenge for her.
Wait!
I can't live like this!
Everyone has unpaid taxes.
We've had enough!
I'm going to kill at least one Houyan person before I die.
Let's do that.
Let's go!
Wait.
I'll kill those Houyan animals.
You can't go.
Let go!
We can't let them fight by themselves.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
- I'm worried we haven't heard from them. - Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
We're in trouble.
What is it?
There is a riot in the migrant village and Cheongun got involved.
What?
Yeo Seokgae.
He should stop the riot.
The Houyan court will hear about this.
I have to see Murong Bao.
What?
A riot in the Goguryeo migrants' village?
Yes.
Murong Bao's quarters General Yeo Seokgae of Goguryeo is involved in the riot.
A Goguryeo general?
How dare they start a riot?
I will go and capture the Goguryeo migrants.
Kill them if they resist. You must suppress the riot.
Yes, crown prince.
Stop.
You can't do that.
How dare you barge in here?
You sweet talked them into moving to Magoseong.
That isn't your concern.
Are you interfering with our domestic affairs?
Murong Chui promised to take care of the Goguryeo migrants.
Why are you going against his promise?
They are Houyan people.
Where we send them is up to us.
If you're done paying condolence, return to Goguryeo.
I heard you weren't doing anything about Beiwei's attacks.
They might be living in Houyan, but they are Goguryeo people.
I will not sit by and watch them be sacrificed.
I already told you this isn't your concern.
General Fengba!
Yes, crown prince.
Take care of this situation.
Yes, crown prince.
I will go.
I will take my officers and settle this matter.
Nothing will be settled by forcefully suppressing the riot.
It will just cause damages.
What if you can't solve this matter?
I will do what you want then.
You will do what I want?
That's right.
Fine.
Go and take care of the matter.
Let's go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
This is a great opportunity for us.
We could get rid of Damdeok.
You can't do that.
Damdeok came to pay condolence.
If he dies in Houyan, the surrounding nations will criticize Houyan.
We're in no position to think about that.
Goguryeo is powerful enough to threaten Houyan.
Are you siding with the king of Goguryeo right now?
We are in mourning.
We should avoid excessive action.
Please think about His Majesty's last will.
Murong Un is right.
We can't kill Damdeok.
He will do anything for the Goguryeo migrants.
We should be able to put him in a bind and gain some practical benefits.
You don't want him to settle this matter?
We can't kill him.
But we can pressure him and get what we want.
What is that?
Magoseong area, Houyan
It's an ambush!
Your Majesty!

Hand over the lord of Magoseong.
We are going to hold on to him.
We should send someone to Magoseong.
General Fengba, when you arrive,
use all means to play Damdeok against the migrants.
I understand.
I will leave right away.
What brings you here?
I'd like to see if the lord of Magoseong is alright.
The fortress lord died.
What's going on?
Arrest him right away.
