(Episode 9)
Your Majesty, you know the crane accident...
during our wedding?
People said it was a deliberate attack.
Do you think that's true?
It couldn't be.
Machines suddenly break down all the time.
Was I too heavy?
Your Majesty.
You must be very tired.
Your Majesty?
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
You were so quiet, I thought you fell asleep.
I need to go.
I have an appointment tonight. I've lost too much time.
You're going first? Then I'll go...
My Empress should finish the massage.
Okay.
Isn't that the Emperor?
Is his massage over already?
It's too soon for it to be over.
Isn't that Ms. Min with him?
Where is the Empress?
Why is Ms. Min coming from there?
My babies!
Look at this beauty. It's totally me.
Bring me my size.
No, I don't like you.
So pretty. Here.
Orange.
How do I look so good in everything?
Excuse me, Princess?
What?
They're staring because I'm pretty. What can I do?
Your Majesty!
What brings you here?
I'm doing an on-site check of the department store.
Ms. Oh? Why didn't you call?
I did. More than 10 times.
Ms. Lee. What is the sales figure for the first half?
Pardon?
It went up seven percent compared to last year.
However, in comparison to competitors and the investments,
it is not satisfactory.
Little brother!
No, no, no. Your Majesty!
What are your thoughts after touring the place?
It is incredible.
I had no idea the Imperial Family's business was this big.
It's shocking that it's present worldwide as well.
What you saw today is less than 10 percent of our enterprise.
Yu Ra, think about which of these you can oversee.
Excuse me, Your Majesty.
Hello?
It's me, Wang Shik.
You must be with the Emperor. Should I call later?
No, it's okay. Where are you?
Let's meet right now.
I have a lot to say to you, Yu Ra.
Okay. I'll see you there.
It must be a close friend.
A friend I've been searching for for a long time.
Excuse me.
Don't take your eyes off of Min Yu Ra.
Na Wang Shik will show up soon.
Hey, kid.
Would you do me a favor?
You're Min Yu Ra, right?
Someone said to give this to you.
You're being bugged. Be careful.
I'll call you again.
We lost him. Search the place.
Move!
We're sleeping in the same room?
Oh my gosh.
First night etiquette. Let's see.
Bedroom etiquette.
When is he coming?
Oh no.
Ma'am.
- Me? - Yes.
I have something to tell you.
Are you here, Your Majesty?
Hello, Ms. Min.
I thought you were the Emperor.
Your Majesty, I'm sorry,
but His Majesty is working late preparing for an event tomorrow...
and will be unable to come tonight.
His Majesty will be sleeping in his chambers.
He is?
You must be disappointed.
You waited so long for him.
It's okay. I'm totally fine.
Tonight isn't the only night.
Please tell His Majesty not to worry about me at all...
and to finish his work.
I will.
Good night.
You wanted to say something?
It's nothing. I'll tell you another time.
Why are you looking at me like that?
It's nothing.
You just laughed at me, didn't you?
That's right. I was stood up on our first night together.
Happy?
Your Majesty, are you inside?
Your Majesty?
Is he sleeping?
Your Majesty?
My Empress, what brings you here?
I heard you were working late. I brought you some snacks.
I was tired, so I was sleeping for a bit.
Did I wake you up? Goodness, what have I done?
Your Majesty, you're working too hard.
The whole country should know that you're staying up all night to work.
Are you done with your work?
- Pardon? - I was wondering...
if you were going to spend the rest of your night here.
Actually, after our wedding,
we didn't get to spend any time together.
I barely get to see you.
It's just that I have a lot of work. I hope you can understand...
I heard a sound.
- Let us head to your room. - Pardon?
We were supposed to spend the night together today.
I have been inconsiderate.
Despite how busy I am with work, I should not have left you alone.
Let us head to your room together.
- There was a sound. - Let us go now.
Here.
Gosh.
Hold on! My gosh.
The light. Please get the light.
Okay.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I called as I was worried.
Are you upset?
Upset? No, not at all.
We had to go through this at least once.
Didn't I tell you that I would not doubt your love for me?
That's all I needed.
Don't worry about me. Have a good night's sleep.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E09 The Last Empress "Tell Me It’s Not True" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Are you up now?
What are you doing right now?
Well, I...
I couldn't believe you were right next to me.
I couldn't tell if it was a dream or not.
It looked like you were in a painting when you were sleeping.
Gosh, I tried not to stare, but I couldn't stop.
And I ended up staring at you for the whole night.
I'm fine, though. I'm not tired at all.
Your Majesty, your breakfast will be served.
Okay, bring it in.
The Emperor spent the night with the Empress, Your Highness.
Okay. Hopefully, he'll come to his senses now...
and focus on the Empress.
What did you find out about Min Yu Ra?
I looked into Ms. Min,
but no one made contact with her. I couldn't find any evidence.
There's no evidence?
I am certain that witch was behind it.
If there's none, we can create it.
What do you mean?
Are you telling me to lie now?
You're not lying.
I'm suggesting that we make the truth.
If you'd say Min Yu Ra was the one who hired you...
to tamper with the crane the Empress was on,
the Empress Dowager will pay for your son's surgery.
My son's surgery?
She can also help your family live without worrying about money...
for the rest of your lives.
Grandmother, try this.
What is this?
Grandmother, you must continue to uphold your dignity...
and live a very long and healthy life in this youthful state.
It's like that drink that has been passed down in the Family for ages.
These are letters from your fans, Your Majesty.
(Na Wang Shik)
"Na Wang Shik"?
- What? - Isn't he that guy?
The son of that woman who died in Bichido.
Yes, that is correct.
Dear Honorable Emperor of the Korean Empire.
I write this letter from the bottom of my heart.
I am relieved to see that you're healthy and happy.
I hope that you can treasure your happiness for a very long time.
From Na Wang Shik who wishes to see you the most in this world.
Ma Pil Joo. How dare you lie to me?
How could I lie to you, Your Majesty?
Na Wang Shik definitely fell into the ocean after I had shot him.
It is impossible that he could be alive.
Should I shoot you? To see if you die or not?
This jerk is definitely alive.
Why would I get such a photo if he's not?
Find him by all means.
You have my last warning.
You must find him even if it means searching the whole country.
As this is your last chance from the Emperor,
you must handle this matter once and for all this time, Mr. Ma.
I will make sure to bring you Na Wang Shik's body.
Please have faith in me, Your Majesty.
What did you do with the body?
Did you take care of it properly?
You need not worry.
I took care of it.
Yu Ra.
How could you?
Did you steal my mom's corpse?
Yu Ra!
Yu Ra, you brat.
Where were you all this time?
Even if you have no manners,
how could you leave home without saying anything?
- Stop that! - How...
What...
Your stomach...
Go. Get over there. Go.
What are you doing to someone who finally came home?
Don't you see she's eating?
You little...
Look, Yu Ra.
Throw it away. I don't want to even look at it.
Our baby will hear you.
How could you say that to my baby?
I'll raise him as my son,
so he doesn't hold you back.
Don't worry and live a new life.
Your mom would've done the same if she were alive.
Ms. Baek.
Call me "Mom" now.
Your mom and I were best of friends.
I never thought of you as anything but family.
If you're afraid of people talking, we'll just move.
Don't cry.
My daughter's life is at stake.
What mom wouldn't do this much for her?
- Yu Ra. - Come here.
Look. It's your little brother.
What?
My gosh.
He's so handsome.
Look at his eyes. He has your eyes.
He's really cute.
Are they always this tiny?
He's so tiny.
Let's eat.
I'm all done. All done.
Here. Put this on.
Dong Shik must be sleepy.
Sorry. Study.
Your Palace Exam is coming up.
I'll put him to sleep. Sorry.
Dong Shik finally fell asleep.
Is it going well?
Yu Ra. Don't worry about a thing anymore.
I'll take care of you and Dong Shik for the rest of my life.
Study.
Good luck.
Your Majesties, hello.
You both are so beautiful,
there's a halo around you when I see you from afar.
I heard there was a banquet with foreign diplomats today.
Is that where you are headed?
That is correct.
Do you know everything on His Majesty's calendar?
It is the first official event which you both are attending.
How could I not know?
I would like to attend a party like that one day.
In preparation, I study English and French in the mornings,
and Spanish and Chinese in the evenings.
Your Highness.
His Majesty has work to do, so we cannot take too much of his time.
Let's go, My Empress.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It was nice seeing you. I'll see you again.
Here are Their Majesties, the Emperor and Empress.
Thank you for celebrating our wedding.
A toast to the good relations between the Korean Empire...
and other countries.
Cheers.
Cheers!
Okay. Why don't you say a few words as well?
Me?
What would I say? I can't.
Ms. Min may speak on your behalf.
No. I'll do it.
I'll do it.
Hello.
I am the Empress of the Korean Empire, Oh Sunny.
Hello.
I am the Empress Sunny Oh from the Korean Empire.
Had I known this day would come,
I would've studied English harder while I was in school.
I wish I had studied harder when I was in school.
I want to say hello in my own way.

(Wangshik's Seafood Kalguksu)
Please wait one minute.
Here. I'll bring it right out. Enjoy.
Wang Shik! What are you doing out there?
Come in and eat.
I bought pork belly.
Mom.
Hey, you!
(Land and Sky Construction)
(Bichido Development Consent Form)
(CEO Ma Pil Joo)
Ma Pil Joo. Min Yu Ra. Lee Hyuk!
I'll kill you all.
I'll every one of you!
Wang Shik!
I've missed you, Wang Shik.
What brings you here? You didn't say you were coming.
- Come with me. - Where are we going?
Wang Shik!
Are we going somewhere?
Am I going to live with you from now on?
Sit here for a minute.
What's wrong? Where are you going?
Don't follow me, and just sit there!
But I'm scared.
All right.
Wang Shik, you have to hurry back,
okay?
What happened?
We lost him.
What was that?
What were you doing?
Did you check the surveillance videos?
He broke the cameras...
and burned the development consent forms.
You stupid morons!
Why are you coming back alone? Where's Dong Shik?
You don't need to take care of him anymore.
It's dark out. Where did you leave him?
He has nothing to do with me now!
So, don't you mind him either.
What's going on?
Sir.
What... What am I supposed to do?
He's terrified of lightning.
But who cares?
Although your late mother told you to take good care of him,
who cares?
He isn't your son or your brother. He's a total stranger.
He may be innocent,
but he's your enemy's son, so you should dump him.
No one would criticize you for being cruel.
- Sir! - You scared me.
You'll make me go deaf, punk.
What's it to me even if he dies?
Dong Shik.
What took you so long to come?
- Wang Shik. - Why are you sitting here?
What are you doing here? It's raining!
You told me not to budge and to stay here.
You stupid.
What if I didn't come?
But you did come to get me.
Oh no.
My brother's all wet.
I'm sorry, Dong Shik.
I'm so sorry.
He can't even be mean.
How will he survive in the palace?
3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2,
3, 4.
You're the sparring partner today, right? Can we switch?
No. Why should I?
I just wonder how good the Emperor is at sword-fighting.
Then I'll take your night duty this week.
- For real? - Yes.
You're on.
3, 4.
- Chief. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Yes, Mr. Ma. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Is there anyone suspicious in the palace?
No one in particular.
You still haven't found Na Wang Shik?
He's persistent, so he may sneak into the palace.
He speaks with an accent and is big, so he'll stand out,
but let me know right away if there's anyone suspicious.
What's his name?
Chun Woo Bin.
Are you on your way to the Emperor's chamber,
Your Highness?
The crane mechanic confessed regarding who hired him.
I'm on my way to tell him.
Is that right?
What a big relief that the truth is finally out.
What a fool, don't you agree?
He should have known he would be caught easily. He dug his own grave.
Let's go.
Are you telling me to lie?
You're not lying.
I'm suggesting that we make the truth.
If you'd say Min Yu Ra was the one who hired you...
to tamper with the crane the Empress was on,
the Empress Dowager will pay for your son's surgery.
She can also help your family live without worrying about money...
for the rest of your lives.
Empress Dowager, do you hate me this much?
How could you bribe him to tell such a lie?
And frame me for the incident?
Did you give this order, Mother?
How could you go such lengths to make Yu Ra take the blame?
I am deeply disappointed in you!
No, Your Majesty.
I am the one who brought the Empress into the Palace.
There's no reason for me to harm the Empress.
It was to pin the blame on me.
If the Palace's Internal Affairs finds this out,
it's enough to damage your dignity...
as well as remove you from your position.
Mother is very just when it concerns crimes.
Regardless of her position, she, too, must face punishment.
It is also a part of the Imperial Family's custom.
I'm sure you know this better than anyone.
Am I right, Mother?
Your Majesty, she is still your mother.
That is why I am trying my best to hold down my anger.
Shut your mouth!
Are you worried about me right now? How dare you?
What is this commotion about?
Your Highness, it's...
I understand, Ms. Min.
You and I will have a talk in private.
I have come here to report to you regarding the crane incident.
Is that so? Come inside now.
It was orchestrated by a faction of monarchy abolitionists?
That is correct, Your Highness.
After launching an investigation, it is confirmed that...
the Empress Dowager was not involved in the incident.
That is what I had expected.
The Empress Dowager would not do such a thing.
Ms. Min, why are you still single?
You're beautiful and excellent at your job.
I'm sure you must have many suitors.
I have someone in mind who would be great for you.
Can I make the introduction for you?
I appreciate your offer.
I want to be of help to the Emperor and the Empress a bit longer.
If you don't want to, there's nothing I can do.
All right then. I'll leave now.
I am sorry, Your Highness. I deserve to die.
I didn't know he'd betray me.
That is not your fault.
I have let down my guard.
I have underestimated Min Yu Ra.
Are you certain that you cut off the tail?
Please don't worry, Your Majesty.
I did not order anyone. I handled it myself.
Keep it quiet about the crane incident even to Yu Ra.
That I ordered you to do so.
Of course, Your Majesty.
You still haven't found Na Wang Shik's body.
At least, you ought to save face with this.
What is it that you want?
I'd like to have the management authority to run the shopping mall.
That is absurd.
Princess So Jin is managing the mall.
If you let her manage the mall, it won't have any future.
I am willing to become a CO-CEO.
Under one condition.
If the sales increase by 50 percent after 1 month,
grant me 10 percent of its shares.
You have lost your mind.
Grant you its shares?
I'll make your company more successful.
Am I asking for too much?
I wonder how far you can go with the Emperor on your back.
Watch, and find out.
I'm curious about that too.
That vulgar witch is going on a rampage in the Palace.
What on earth is the Empress doing?
Where is the Empress now?
My voice is still hoarse, and I'm gaining weight too.
Your Highness, hello.
Hello, Princess Ari.
I saw a video of you singing "Arirang" yesterday.
You were very cool!
You are incredible!
I was so touched.
I almost cried.
I have quite the talent for music.
I would like to learn from you if circumstances allow.
Will you teach me?
Of course! Ask me anytime.
I have prepared a present to welcome you to the Palace.
Nanny, hand it to me.
I'm sorry. I didn't have a chance to bring the present.
What? You didn't bring it?
Why on earth not? Is there anything you can do right?
You're so annoying.
My apologies.
Run, and bring it to me right now. Right now!
- Hey, Princess Ari. - Yes, Your Highness.
I do not know what you have prepared for me,
you shouldn't talk to your nanny in that manner.
Did I do something wrong?
Even if she's your nanny, she is still older than you.
It is not right to be rude,
- so... - Please stop, Your Highness.
The Princess did not do anything wrong.
Kids should not be raised to be rude.
She's not just a kid. She's the only daughter of a Princess.
She only pointed out what I had done wrong.
Please don't mention anything other than that. Excuse me.
Let go. Don't you ever interrupt me.
The Empress will hate me because of you!
- Move! - Gosh.
How could she be so cold-hearted?
She's so cold. Gosh, it's chilly in here.
This cannot be!
What do you mean?
I have already made up my mind.
- Grandmother. - I'll continue for the third time.
I'm doomed.
Gosh, I got the same card. It's the same card.
Wait.
Now, the table has turned.
Here.
Why is there another light card?
What... What are you doing, Grandmother?
My head itches.
Hold on.
As I've been educated early on, I'm well-versed in this area.
Gosh.
Goodness. Look. You're quite the con artist, Grandmother.
- Gosh, how many are there? - Hey.
No, no. This round doesn't count. Let's have another round.
- Gosh. - Let's call this one a bust.
Shall we try again?
You're not keeping cards under your dress, right?
- There's nothing underneath. - Come on.
Then let me mix these cards for you.
I still think something is fishy.
What was that about? You did not maintain your dignity there.
Grandmother told me that she was bored.
I was just having fun with her.
Empress, have you forgotten that...
you must always maintain your dignity wherever you are?
Just because you spent a night with the Emperor,
don't be so quick to assume that you won him over.
Keeping yourself beautiful and attractive to the Emperor...
is part of your duty too.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I am not good at dolling myself up.
This is exactly why wicked snakes swarm around the Emperor.
What do you mean?
Ms. Choi, get ready to go out with the Empress.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E10 The Last Empress "Wang Shik’s Rage" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Next.
This isn't fun.
You train yourselves every day, and yet, I see no improvement!
Next.
Come on out!
Are there no more challengers?
The thing Lee Hyuk loves and excels the most in is the sword.
If you want him to single you out, this is the only way.
You defeated me, Your Majesty.
Who taught you?
Your movements seem familiar.
When I was preparing for the test,
I learned them from a training center.
With your permission, I would like to have another match.
You insolent fool.
How dare you suggest another match?
My apologies, Your Majesty.
I will remove him from his post.
It feels great to see a proper match for me.
I like that he can glare at me.
He's quite competitive. He's a man.
- Was it Chun Woo Bin? - Yes, Your Majesty.
I'd like to offer you to become my personal trainer.
What do you think?
It's an honor, Your Majesty.
I was informed that you went out with the Empress Dowager.
- Yes. - Did you go shopping?
Mother bought all of these for me.
Outfits that the Emperor would like,
so he would love me.
I have the best mother-in-law, don't I?
The Empress Dowager seems to adore you very much.
Did she tell you about the Emperor as well?
Yes, well... She told me some tips to help him fall in love with me.
My gosh, it makes me blush though.
Which brings me to ask you this.
You must know him well as you were his assistant for a long time.
What does the Emperor like the most?
Something to make him fall in love with me.
Please tell me if you know anything.
I really want to be a good wife.
I don't know much about him, apart from his work.
A few things come to my mind.
Should I tell you?
("Empress Oh Sunny Sings 'Arirang' at Her First Official Event")
(Empire Daily)
The Empress' performance has gone viral. It has indeed.
Thanks to her, the approval rate for our Family has skyrocketed.
Even the Chinese ambassador was quite impressed with her.
The Empress and I are invited for a luncheon tomorrow.
Ms. Min.
Make more events for the Emperor and the Empress to appear together.
And book events for her to appear alone as well.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Majesty, you must go visit the Empress now.
I believe the Empress has already gotten ready and is waiting for you.
She's taking care of herself to be a beauty in his eyes.
Isn't that sweet of her, Mother?
Of course.
I am excited about tonight as well.
I see.
Your Majesty.
Please punish me.
I promised you that I wouldn't be jealous.
No, I understand how hard it is.
I want to make love to you like a madman.
No.
They are keeping an eye on you.
Even if it's hard, you must sleep at the Empress' place for now.
Please go.
You cannot keep her waiting for long.
Explain what I had just witnessed.
- Your Highness. - Answer me right now!
Have you been deceiving me the whole time?
You're here, Your Majesty.
What is all this, My Empress?
It's your favorite, freesia, Your Majesty.
This smells very good.
I do not like it. Please get rid of it.
Pardon?
Wait, does he like some other flowers now?
Then what about this song?
It's my favorite song.
I didn't know that you and I had the same taste in music.
All right.
Turn it off.
Do you not like this song?
It's too loud. Turn it off right now!
Okay. Okay.
I...
I guess you're not feeling well.
Have some of this.
I made potato pancakes because I heard you like these.
I even pick these flower leaves from my garden.
Get rid of this!
What's wrong, Your Majesty?
Get rid of it!
What are you doing?
Are you trying to copy someone?
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty! What's going on?
Hold on, Your Majesty. Please listen to me.
Your Majesty!
Are you all right, Your Highness?
