{\a6}Episode 47
5
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:11,640
come bearing the Emperor's edict to honor
6
00:00:12,010 --> 00:00:15,090
the coronation of a new King in Goryeo.
7
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:16,830
Thank you.
8
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,090
I appreciate this visit.
9
00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:28,010
Your Highness, now please accept the Emperor's edict.
10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,240
Wait.
11
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:43,630
It seems you have not heard.
12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,060
{\a6}[Empress Dowager Cheonchu]
13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,680
You are not using the proper title.
14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,370
Goryeo has been restored to the Empire
that it was in the reign of Gyeongjong.
15
00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:55,560
Hence you will refer to our ruler as
"His Majesty the Emperor" from now on.
16
00:00:56,890 --> 00:01:01,510
I'm afraid I cannot, Your Grace.
17
00:00:56,530 --> 00:00:59,500
{\a6}[Yelu Dilie]
18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,090
I beg your pardon?
19
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:09,030
Goryeo is a feudal state of Great Liao
that uses Liao's era name.
20
00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:07,850
{\a6}[Mokjong (7th ruler of Goryeo)]
21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,180
How could a feudal state dare declare itself an Empire?
22
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:19,850
It is not permissible.
23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,110
Not permissible?
24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,830
What would you do if I said I don't care?
25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:40,980
Your Highness, need I remind you of your unpleasant experiences in Liao?
26
00:01:40,990 --> 00:01:48,380
Your carelessness could cause the people of Goryeo to suffer the same adversity.
27
00:01:48,390 --> 00:01:51,290
Is that a threat?
28
00:01:51,940 --> 00:01:56,380
I'm imploring you to re-evaluate your situation.
29
00:01:56,390 --> 00:02:01,090
I am here to congratulate the enthronement of the new King.
30
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:07,910
Please do not attempt to break our peace.
31
00:02:08,750 --> 00:02:16,490
Liao will launch an invasion whether or
not we declare ourselves an Empire.
32
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,250
Only, you don't have the resources to do so right now.
33
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:21,870
So spare the act.
34
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,070
Your Highness, do you truly want war?
35
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,800
If you insist on declaring an Empire,
an army of one million will march upon this land.
36
00:02:29,810 --> 00:02:34,990
And you will be forced down from that throne
and subjected to indescribable humiliation.
37
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,680
Is that what you want?
38
00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:41,740
This man's audacity knows no bounds. Guards!
39
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,920
Retract those remarks and beg for forgiveness on your knees.
40
00:02:56,930 --> 00:02:58,450
Or you die.
41
00:02:58,460 --> 00:03:02,190
Your Highness, I am a diplomatic envoy.
42
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,170
Is this how you treat a foreign envoy who
comes to honor the King's enthronement?
43
00:03:07,180 --> 00:03:08,580
I said beg!
44
00:03:08,590 --> 00:03:10,290
Your Highness!
45
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:11,760
Mother.
46
00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:13,710
Stay out of it.
47
00:03:14,170 --> 00:03:15,460
Kill him.
48
00:03:21,850 --> 00:03:25,130
I-I apologize.
49
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:27,060
Repeat.
50
00:03:27,070 --> 00:03:34,060
I spoke hastily in frustration.
51
00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:39,090
Please forgive me.
52
00:03:42,010 --> 00:03:43,830
Bring me the edict.
53
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:13,440
Rewrite this in a tone of respect befitting an Empire.
54
00:04:13,450 --> 00:04:14,970
Get him out of here.
55
00:04:19,150 --> 00:04:22,160
Let go of me!
56
00:04:24,910 --> 00:04:27,380
He is ordered out of the palace.
57
00:04:29,130 --> 00:04:33,940
You can't treat a foreign envoy like this.
58
00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:36,080
I promise you. You'll regret this!
59
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,490
It's nice to see you, pal!
60
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,960
I haven't seen you since you ran off defeated from Ahnyoongjin.
61
00:04:43,970 --> 00:04:46,730
How dare you?!
62
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:50,230
I'm a senior envoy here on behalf of Emperor Shengzhong!
63
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,760
Oh my, is that right?
64
00:04:51,540 --> 00:04:54,540
{\a6}[Yu Bang ]
65
00:04:52,770 --> 00:04:53,600
I'm sorry, your Prominence.
66
00:04:53,610 --> 00:04:55,660
Please pardon my insolence.
67
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:58,440
Stop now, General.
68
00:04:58,450 --> 00:05:04,580
You might provoke the chief envoy
to fight us again.
69
00:04:59,740 --> 00:05:04,980
{\a6}[Kim Hoon] [Choi Ghi]
70
00:05:04,590 --> 00:05:06,450
Yes, that's right.
71
00:05:06,460 --> 00:05:11,410
I'm so scared I�m going to piss in my pants!
72
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,160
You bastards!
73
00:05:17,630 --> 00:05:21,540
Just get out of here, fool.
74
00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:20,870
{\a6}[Yi Hyunoon]
75
00:05:24,570 --> 00:05:26,830
Look at this hilarious mustache.
76
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:35,510
Get out of here. All of you!
77
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,740
Shoo! Shoo! Go quickly!
78
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:53,340
You went too far. They came
in peace to congratulate me.
79
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:58,500
They did not come to congratulate you.
They came to make a threat.
80
00:05:59,620 --> 00:06:03,700
If they come on strong,
we have to come on stronger.
81
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:08,600
Or we'll never be an empire.
82
00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:12,790
But I'm afraid of the repercussions.
83
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,560
What if they wage another war against us?
84
00:06:18,620 --> 00:06:22,530
We're not ready to fight them yet.
85
00:06:23,390 --> 00:06:29,840
Don't worry. Liao can't invade Goryeo right now.
86
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,030
They are in a bind with Song China,
87
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,760
and both the Empress Dowager and
the Prime Minister are in the south.
88
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:44,550
They can't strike us anytime soon in this situation.
89
00:06:45,530 --> 00:06:48,710
We still have time, so don't worry.
90
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,760
How can you be so certain?
These are your speculations.
91
00:06:51,770 --> 00:06:56,010
These are facts, Your Majesty.

{\a6}[Choi Wonshin (Vice Minister of the Board of Rites)]
93
00:06:56,020 --> 00:06:57,610
Secretary Kim provides a constant
94
00:06:57,620 --> 00:07:03,740
stream of up-to-date reports on
the activities of Liao Eastern Capital.
95
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,390
Who?
96
00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:10,960
The First Secretary of the Office of Ceremony,
Kim Chi Yang, Your Majesty.
97
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,820
How does a man who handles ceremonies have access to foreign intelligence?
98
00:07:18,830 --> 00:07:26,280
Secretary Kim sends merchant caravans into Liao and collects information.
99
00:07:27,020 --> 00:07:30,300
So you don't have to worry about anything.
100
00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:33,570
I see.
101
00:07:33,930 --> 00:07:37,290
I'm sure you've got everything taken care of.
102
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,670
You've got everything under control,
so I'll just shut up and look pretty.
103
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,900
Good luck to you!
104
00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:57,110
Why would you say such a thing?
105
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,240
Forgive me, Your Highness.
106
00:08:22,310 --> 00:08:25,140
Your Majesty. It's been a long time.
107
00:08:25,410 --> 00:08:27,590
What are you doing here?
108
00:08:28,380 --> 00:08:31,360
I've come to see to a matter
that requires my attention.

What's your business in the palace?
113
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,990
I've come to see the Empress Dowager.
114
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,210
Why? You're not a minister.
115
00:08:45,470 --> 00:08:48,100
What do you want with the Empress Dowager?
116
00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:57,910
I am simply answering her summons...
Is there a problem, Your Majesty?
117
00:09:12,460 --> 00:09:18,260
Does Kim Chi Yang come to the palace often?
118
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,210
I believe he is here daily.

{\a6}[Go Hyun]

Why? On what business?
122
00:09:32,890 --> 00:09:39,060
He always goes to the Empress's residence, Cheonchu Hall.
123
00:09:39,070 --> 00:09:43,600
I do not know what they discuss.
124
00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:48,420
Does he ever go there after dark?
125
00:09:49,290 --> 00:09:52,760
Pardon? What... do you...
126
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,210
Cheonchu Hall is where my mother sleeps.
127
00:09:57,970 --> 00:10:04,460
Does he stay overnight with her?
128
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:10,850
I'm afraid I don't know, Your Majesty.
129
00:10:23,630 --> 00:10:25,180
What do you want?
130
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:28,800
Repeat what you said to me the other day.
131
00:10:29,490 --> 00:10:31,120
What are you talking about?
132
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:35,630
You accused me of neglecting
my duty because of a man.

{\a6}[Duyan]
134

What?
137

I've seen you toy with dozens of men.
But never have I seen you react like this.
138
00:10:49,780 --> 00:10:53,210
You mocked me in front of the Princess!
139
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,960
Are you sure that's all?
140
00:10:57,970 --> 00:11:03,190
Normally you wouldn't even bother with an excuse.
141
00:11:03,650 --> 00:11:05,720
That's it. I've heard enough.
142
00:11:09,870 --> 00:11:11,150
Attack.

Stop!
145
00:11:38,130 --> 00:11:41,170
What is the meaning of this?
146
00:11:41,180 --> 00:11:43,020
Have you both gone mad?
147
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:46,680
We were just in training.
148
00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:54,920
Take me to the Princess.
149
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:59,940
The Goryeoan Empress Dowager
said that to your face?
150
00:11:59,950 --> 00:12:04,750
Yes. I suffered indelible humiliation.
151
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,550

{\a6}[Xiao Zanli]
153
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,100
and now she thinks she is above us.
154
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,820
The problem is, we don't have the
means to punish Goryeo right now.
155
00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:20,740
And obviously, Empress Dowager Cheonchu knows this.
156
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,540
Having her in power is
definitely a disadvantage for us.

They will strengthen their military while we're fighting Song.
159

What were the Emperor's instructions?
160
00:12:36,110 --> 00:12:40,630
His orders were to stop them from
declaring themselves an empire.
161
00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:44,030
That's impossible at this point.
162
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:51,680
That's why you must weaken them by creating internal division.
163
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:54,920
Interference with defense advancement
164
00:12:55,610 --> 00:13:02,390
and assassination of the King is also a viable option if it comes to that.
165
00:13:02,770 --> 00:13:07,150
But our resources are limited.
166
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:14,230
Princess, we might need to join hands
with Lady Yunheung, as Duyan suggested.
167

She is as powerless as we are.
168

Yes. How did it go?

Don't worry, Your Grace.

He has my brother and Jo Du as well. They won't let him starve.

I'm more concerned about you.

00:13:58,980 --> 00:14:08,170
You have dozens of maids, serving you hand
and foot in the palace, and now this...
178
00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:16,180
My life only has one purpose now.
179
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:20,850
I don't need fancy food or clothes.
180
00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:24,200
The desire for revenge will
give me all the strength I need.
181
00:14:24,940 --> 00:14:33,700
Until I witness the demise of the
King's murderers, I don't care how I live.
182
00:14:34,620 --> 00:14:36,100
Just watch.
183
00:14:39,220 --> 00:14:42,250
Is the counterfeiting warehouse still intact?
184
00:14:42,850 --> 00:14:44,150
Yes, Sire.
185
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,620
We still have all of the craftsmen.
186
00:14:48,380 --> 00:14:50,720
I trust you're keeping them well under control?
187
00:14:51,550 --> 00:14:53,460
Don't worry, Sire.
188
00:14:52,270 --> 00:14:56,510
{\a6}[Jo Sun] [Jo Du]
189
00:14:53,470 --> 00:14:59,500
They all know that they will be killed
if the operation is exposed.
190
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:07,540
Good. That's good enough.
191
00:15:08,410 --> 00:15:13,990
That's all we need to make a comeback.
192
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,360
{\a6}[Kim Won Soong]
193
00:15:17,260 --> 00:15:19,220
Listen closely.
194
00:15:19,230 --> 00:15:24,920
Now I want you to keep a very close
eye on the officials of the court.
195
00:15:25,530 --> 00:15:32,240
Take your time and find out who can be bought.
196
00:15:34,130 --> 00:15:44,510
I will prove to you that the world
can be bought with money.
197
00:15:47,090 --> 00:15:51,510
Let me serve you another drink, Secretary Kim.
198
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,760
Yes.
199
00:15:53,060 --> 00:15:57,520
Why are you using honorifics?
200
00:15:58,890 --> 00:16:04,890
I can't very well talk to you like a domestic staff member now that
201
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:07,170
you're an official of the state.
202
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,360
Please let me serve you a
drink as well, Your Highness.
203
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:19,850
So, you were talking about
sending an envoy to Song China?
204
00:16:21,330 --> 00:16:23,020
Yes, Your Highness.
205
00:16:23,550 --> 00:16:29,510
But weren't you previously against
keeping diplomatic relations with Song?
206
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,060
I was against serving Song China as our suzerain state.
207
00:16:35,070 --> 00:16:37,900
But things are different now.
208
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:39,360
We are an empire,
209
00:16:39,370 --> 00:16:42,240
and I am talking about maintaining diplomatic relations as equals.
210
00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:45,270
And it's unlikely they will reject us.
211
00:16:45,550 --> 00:16:50,180
They're at war with Khitan and
they could use our help.
212
00:16:50,190 --> 00:16:55,710
But if we send an envoy to Song,
the Khitan will know right away.
213
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,890
Empress Dowager Chengtian has spies in the Song court.
214
00:17:01,780 --> 00:17:04,100
It doesn't matter.
215
00:17:04,110 --> 00:17:09,790
They can't stop fighting the Chinese
and attack us, even if they find out.
216
00:17:10,070 --> 00:17:16,600
Fear of a pincer attack should actually make them more complaisant.
217
00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:22,990
Perhaps we declared an empire too soon.
218
00:17:23,730 --> 00:17:30,150
We might be in a better position if
we waited until we were stronger.
219
00:17:30,940 --> 00:17:37,000
No, there is no better time than now
when they are contending with Song.
220
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:43,990
We must boost public pride and arouse
people's attention to protect the empire.
221
00:17:45,370 --> 00:17:50,750
I understand. I will move forward without turning back.
222
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:55,890
What domestic concerns should we tackle first?
223
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,370
I still think reviving Palguanhwe and
224
00:18:02,250 --> 00:18:06,320
the Lotus Lantern Festival is the
best way to stimulate public favor.
225
00:18:06,330 --> 00:18:10,410
Let us start with the Lotus Lantern Festival since it's coming up soon.
226
00:18:10,420 --> 00:18:14,950
Plan the grandest and most elaborate event yet.
227
00:18:15,690 --> 00:18:17,850
Yes, that was my intention as well.
228
00:18:19,020 --> 00:18:24,000
And how do you feel about building Buddhist temples?
229
00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:27,170
Temples?
230
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,720
Yes. Every country needs a unified belief.
231
00:18:31,730 --> 00:18:35,360
The late King wanted Goryeo to be a Confucian state,
232
00:18:35,370 --> 00:18:40,020
but it was unrealistic for the
common people who are illiterate.
233
00:18:40,990 --> 00:18:46,690
But Buddhist beliefs are already
infused into their daily lives.
234
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:50,930
We need to build temples under the name of the empire and
235
00:18:50,940 --> 00:18:56,440
instill beliefs in the public that the empire
is growing in the power of the dharma.
236
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:05,310
And we can allocate funds taken from
Kim Won Soong to build these temples.
237
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:18,040
What's wrong?
Do you disapprove of my ideas?
238
00:19:19,030 --> 00:19:20,340
Quite the contrary.
239
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:26,460
Everything falls into place by itself when I talk to you.
240
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,780
Almost as if you've been planning
everything for the longest time.
241
00:19:34,490 --> 00:19:36,470
You are too kind.
242
00:19:37,890 --> 00:19:41,320
No, I can't say enough about you.
243
00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:45,950
Finish that drink and I will pour another.
244
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,420
Yes.
245
00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:01,900
I'm already feeling a bit drunk.
246
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:09,160
Ready for another?
247
00:20:16,370 --> 00:20:20,420
Do you drink?
248
00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:27,630
Forgive me. I'm afraid I'm not much of a drinker.
249
00:20:29,470 --> 00:20:35,670
Can't you do anything useful?
What are you good for?
250
00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:45,960
You.
251
00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:49,590
I haven't seen you in years.
252
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:53,390
No, Your Majesty.
253
00:20:53,930 --> 00:20:57,130
Do you remember me?
254
00:21:01,450 --> 00:21:04,730
What are you waiting for? Drink up.
255
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:15,010
I see you're a drinker.
256
00:21:16,090 --> 00:21:23,540
Why, drink and hanging out with the girls
was my specialty back when I was...
257
00:21:25,610 --> 00:21:30,320
Your Majesty, may I ask to why you've invited this lowly man here?
258
00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:36,300
I have no one else to drink with in this entire palace.
259
00:21:36,730 --> 00:21:39,760
All are my mother's men.
260
00:21:39,770 --> 00:21:43,680
And they call me Emperor, but I am a puppet.
261
00:21:43,690 --> 00:21:52,010
You're the only one who might understand
how I feel since you know me a little.
262
00:21:54,610 --> 00:21:57,860
I am at your service day and night, Your Majesty.
263
00:21:57,870 --> 00:22:02,580
I will come running anytime you call.
264
00:22:03,010 --> 00:22:06,560
Your Majesty, may I pour you another?
265
00:22:13,260 --> 00:22:18,030
Why are you so disheartened?
266
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,220
Is it because you couldn't choose your own men?
267
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:31,800
Do you know Kim Chi Yang?
268
00:22:32,730 --> 00:22:38,000
I've known him since the battle of Ahnyoongjin.
269
00:22:38,010 --> 00:22:40,740
He was captured and taken to Liao
with the Empress Dowager and
270
00:22:40,750 --> 00:22:42,560
ended up having an affair with...
271
00:22:46,110 --> 00:22:49,440
I'm sorry. Forgive me, Your Majesty.
272
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,900
I don't care.
273
00:22:52,230 --> 00:22:56,540
Do you think that man deserves a post in the court?
274
00:22:57,890 --> 00:22:58,860
Yes?
275
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:08,110
No, I think it's absurd.
There are laws in this country.
276
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:12,490
I think he should be removed from
government service immediately.
277
00:23:13,870 --> 00:23:16,260
So do I.
278
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:20,830
But sadly, I am powerless to dismiss him.
279
00:23:21,380 --> 00:23:28,180
Powerless, Your Majesty?
But you are the almighty Emperor.
280
00:23:28,540 --> 00:23:31,040
Whatever you say goes.
281
00:23:31,050 --> 00:23:35,300
The entire cabinet is made up of my mother's men.
282
00:23:35,770 --> 00:23:40,520
I may be the Emperor, but
the officials will not listen to me.
283
00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:46,570
That's not true, Your Majesty.
284
00:23:46,580 --> 00:23:48,510
At the very least,
285
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,830
General Gang Jo would be all for it
if you said you want Kim Chi Yang out.
286
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:56,800
You don't know him.
287
00:23:56,810 --> 00:24:01,340
Gang Jo would take his own life if my mother told him to.
288
00:24:02,430 --> 00:24:04,260
No, Your Majesty.
289
00:24:06,150 --> 00:24:12,850
I assure you, you're wrong about that.
290
00:24:16,050 --> 00:24:21,760
I'd summon the officials right now and
have Kim Chi Yang removed if I were you.
291
00:24:23,180 --> 00:24:26,330
Right now?
292
00:24:27,380 --> 00:24:28,630
You're the Emperor.
293
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,940
There is no day and night when it comes to obeying you.
294
00:24:32,490 --> 00:24:34,950
Your Majesty, don't be disheartened.
295
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,900
No matter what everyone says,
you are the almighty ruler of this empire.
296
00:24:39,910 --> 00:24:44,320
Why get intimidated when you don't
even know what you can do yet?
297
00:24:56,370 --> 00:25:00,570
We are out.
Would you like another?
298
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:06,470
No, thank you. I've had enough.
299
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,080
I think it's time for me to go.
300
00:25:10,690 --> 00:25:12,150
Already?
301
00:25:13,510 --> 00:25:16,270
It's late.
302
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,550
Then you should go.
303
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:34,820
I wish you were not a woman of power.
304
00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:41,660
If you were just an ordinary woman,
305
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:49,740
we wouldn't have to say goodbye every night.
306
00:26:02,660 --> 00:26:05,160
I wish you could stay with me.
307
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,570
But not now.
308
00:26:12,020 --> 00:26:17,220
Once the country is stable and the
Emperor takes over the state affairs,
309
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:25,610
then it will be just the two of us away
from politics and away from the world.
310
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:33,330
No, that day will never come.
311
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,410
You always put us off until tomorrow.
312
00:26:45,310 --> 00:26:50,250
But tomorrow always has something else in store.
313
00:26:51,590 --> 00:27:00,090
There is no peace for us.
We are constantly living in war.
314
00:27:00,650 --> 00:27:05,950
When will it be just the two of us?
315
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:11,660
When if not now?
316
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,370
But still, now is not the time.
317
00:27:20,330 --> 00:27:24,870
The Emperor keeps veering astray because of us.
318
00:27:26,220 --> 00:27:31,800
I know. We can't let that happen.
319
00:27:35,970 --> 00:27:37,920
I should go now.
320
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,830
Have a good night.
321
00:28:57,170 --> 00:28:59,810
Sorry. I'm late for my shift.
322
00:29:07,550 --> 00:29:12,090
Stand guard out here tonight.
323
00:29:13,410 --> 00:29:14,650
Why?
324
00:29:16,310 --> 00:29:20,820
Secretary Kim is spending the night.
325
00:29:15,730 --> 00:29:19,270
{\a6}[Sa Illa]
326
00:29:31,270 --> 00:29:32,640
What?
327
00:29:29,410 --> 00:29:32,250
{\a6}[Cheon Hyang Bi]
328
00:29:34,370 --> 00:29:37,440
He... is in her chambers?
329
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:39,680
Yes.
330
00:29:43,170 --> 00:29:49,790
Brother, you have to let her go now. You have to.
331
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,230
General Gang.
332
00:29:59,060 --> 00:30:02,610
Let us go to the council hall.
His Majesty wants us.
333
00:30:02,620 --> 00:30:04,410
At this time of the night?
334
00:30:09,010 --> 00:30:14,280
Have Prime Minister Seo Hui and
Minister Gang Gamchan not been notified?
335
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:16,550
Your Majesty,
336
00:30:16,090 --> 00:30:19,560
{\a6} [Choi Hang (Royal Undersecretary)]
337
00:30:16,990 --> 00:30:19,470
the Prime Minister has taken ill.
338
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,630
Minister Gang is with him and
couldn't come at such short notice.
339
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,540
May I ask why you have summoned
us at this time of the night?
340
00:30:30,390 --> 00:30:35,800
Secretary of the Office of Ceremony,
Kim Chi Yang, is the reason why I called you.
341
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:51,670
As you all know, there are unpleasant
rumors about my mother because of him.
342
00:30:53,010 --> 00:30:55,730
What should I do with him?
343
00:30:56,130 --> 00:31:01,760
Your Majesty, this concerns the
Empress Dowager's personal life.
344
00:31:01,770 --> 00:31:06,890
It is beyond our sphere of authority to discuss.
345
00:31:07,780 --> 00:31:09,010
Is that so?
346
00:31:10,380 --> 00:31:14,070
Didn't you study Confucius, Undersecretary Choi?
347
00:31:15,370 --> 00:31:17,610
Yes, I did, Your Majesty.
348
00:31:17,990 --> 00:31:22,480
Then where in his text does it say that
a man who has had an illicit affair with
349
00:31:22,490 --> 00:31:28,860
the Emperor's widow can hold a post in the court,
and walk proudly about the palace?
350
00:31:29,290 --> 00:31:34,650
Have you forgotten what you've
learned because you're stupid
351
00:31:34,660 --> 00:31:40,130
or are you just keeping quiet because
you haven't got the guts to speak up?
352
00:31:47,540 --> 00:31:49,490
Are all of you mute?
353
00:31:50,810 --> 00:31:54,790
Is everyone deaf and dumb in this court?
354
00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:00,900
I'm asking you what to do with this man?!
355
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,600
I will speak, Your Majesty.
356
00:32:06,390 --> 00:32:10,250
Minister of Military, go on.
357
00:32:10,260 --> 00:32:15,900
It would do harm to the state if the
358
00:32:11,370 --> 00:32:15,950
{\a6}[Gang Jo (??)]
359
00:32:15,910 --> 00:32:19,270
public got wind of this vile rumor.
360
00:32:20,340 --> 00:32:26,180
Remove Kim Chi Yang from government service
and forbid him entry to the palace.
361
00:32:26,910 --> 00:32:31,670
Yes, that's the answer I want from you.
362
00:32:33,310 --> 00:32:36,030
What do the others think about this?
363
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,720
The Empress Dowager may be displeased,
364
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:40,700
{\a6}[Chae Choongsun (Secretary of the Interior)]
365
00:32:38,730 --> 00:32:43,830
but I must agree with the Minister of the Military.
366
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,730
Yes, Your Majesty.
367
00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:49,330
If the mother of the state openly
368
00:32:45,510 --> 00:32:48,880
{\a6}[Choi Suk (Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel)]
369
00:32:49,340 --> 00:32:52,280
pursues an illicit relationship,
370
00:32:52,290 --> 00:32:54,310
we cannot maintain public order.
371
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,780
How about you, Secretary Choi?
372
00:32:57,710 --> 00:33:02,630
I will abide by your wish.
373
00:33:05,310 --> 00:33:09,130
I, too, will abide by your wish.
374
00:33:11,710 --> 00:33:17,040
I'm sure Lord Hwangbo can't concur,
being my mother's relative.
375
00:33:18,460 --> 00:33:22,970
How about you, Minister Dae?
376
00:33:25,030 --> 00:33:28,880
Oh? Keeping silent?
377
00:33:29,740 --> 00:33:31,870
That's one way to go.
378
00:33:33,630 --> 00:33:39,120
Very well. I have made my decision.
379
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,090
Kim Chi Yang will be removed from his post
380
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,400
and forbidden from entering the palace henceforth.
381
00:33:48,260 --> 00:33:52,070
Carry out the order immediately!
382
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,440
Do you understand?
383
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:56,000
Yes, Your Majesty!
384
00:34:11,260 --> 00:34:13,010
What did you say?
385
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,470
The Emperor ordered you to remove
Secretary Kim Chi Yang from the palace?
386
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,590
Yes, Your Highness.
387
00:34:22,020 --> 00:34:27,590
So do you dare come to drag
him out from my chambers?
388
00:34:27,870 --> 00:34:29,700
No, Your Highness.
389
00:34:29,710 --> 00:34:36,480
But it is the Emperor's order, and
I wondered what was happening.
390
00:34:57,290 --> 00:35:03,740
I heard there was an important discussion
here last night in my absence.
391
00:35:04,940 --> 00:35:08,380
Is this true, Undersecretary?
392
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,350
Yes, Your Highness.
393
00:35:12,540 --> 00:35:15,490
I will get straight to the point.
394
00:35:15,870 --> 00:35:20,180
I cannot accept the Emperor's decision last night.
395
00:35:20,190 --> 00:35:21,650
So be noted.
396
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,620
Mother.
397
00:35:25,540 --> 00:35:26,430
Yes?
398
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,990
The matter is already settled.
399
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,550
Why are you trying to overturn my decision?
400
00:35:32,850 --> 00:35:36,960
You are forgetting that I am your regent.
401
00:35:37,570 --> 00:35:41,770
You cannot make important decisions
on your own without my consent.
402
00:35:41,780 --> 00:35:46,230
I did not make this decision on my own.
403
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:48,780
The officials concurred.
404
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,590
Is that right?
405
00:35:52,610 --> 00:35:54,760
Who among you concurred?
406
00:35:59,470 --> 00:36:06,040
Why are you silent?
Did you not concur with me last night?
407
00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:09,450
Yes, Your Majesty.
408
00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:16,540
The Emperor is right, Your Highness.
409
00:36:16,550 --> 00:36:21,170
Many of us strongly believe that
410
00:36:21,180 --> 00:36:24,830
Kim Chi Yang must be kept away from the palace.
411
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,800
State the reason.
412
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,510
Is it because of his relationship with me?
413
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,170
Your Highness.
414
00:36:33,180 --> 00:36:38,160
This is an inappropriate subject to
to be discussed in the council hall.
415
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,170
{\a6} [Gang Gamchan (Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]
416
00:36:38,170 --> 00:36:43,700
I beg you to send us away and speak privately with the Emperor.
417
00:36:44,110 --> 00:36:47,920
No. There is nothing to hide.
418
00:36:49,350 --> 00:36:52,690
Do not talk behind my back.
419
00:36:52,700 --> 00:36:56,570
Secretary Kim Chi Yang is indeed my lover.
420
00:36:56,870 --> 00:37:00,790
In fact, he spent the night with me just last night.
421
00:37:06,390 --> 00:37:09,960
Is there a problem with that?
422
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:17,380
General Gang, is there a law against
widows having lovers in this country?
423
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,150
Secretary Choi, didn't you remarry after your first wife died?
424
00:37:24,890 --> 00:37:26,540
Yes.
425
00:37:27,340 --> 00:37:31,780
Would you tell me why that is permissible
for you and not permissible for me?
426
00:37:35,970 --> 00:37:40,550
Lord Choi Wonshin, I heard you have two
concubines, aside from your lawful wife.
427
00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:46,600
Well, I-I do have one concubine, but...
428
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,510
{\a6}[Choi Wonshin (Vice Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]
429
00:37:46,610 --> 00:37:50,820
Then why is it unacceptable for a woman to have a lover?
430
00:37:52,130 --> 00:37:55,000
Do women have no feelings?
431
00:37:55,010 --> 00:37:58,800
Are we cold-blooded animals who feel
no pain, no loneliness and no desires?
432
00:37:58,810 --> 00:38:01,590
Why do you want to put this heavy
burden of being alone on women?
433
00:38:02,620 --> 00:38:08,770
Any decent man would try to ease the burden.
434
00:38:10,770 --> 00:38:15,290
But if you can't do that, just be quiet
and leave well enough alone.
435
00:38:16,780 --> 00:38:23,480
As long as I am on this seat, men and
women will be treated equally in Goryeo.
436
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,020
Speak up now if you have objections.
437
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,570
The Empress Dowager speaks the truth.
438
00:38:34,590 --> 00:38:38,060
{\a6}[Hwangbo Yui (Vice Minister of Finance)]
439
00:38:36,580 --> 00:38:41,330
It is my humble opinion that
last night's decision should be reversed.
440
00:38:41,340 --> 00:38:47,570
Yes, Empress Dowager.
I will abide by your wish.
441
00:38:47,580 --> 00:38:50,320
As will I.
442
00:39:13,950 --> 00:39:15,980
Go back to your posts.
443
00:39:16,670 --> 00:39:18,790
The order was issued in error.
444
00:39:19,070 --> 00:39:20,740
Yes, Your Highness.
445
00:39:42,540 --> 00:39:43,920
Your Highness.
446
00:39:46,580 --> 00:39:48,480
It was nothing.
447
00:39:48,490 --> 00:39:50,480
No, that's not true.
448
00:39:50,490 --> 00:39:54,960
You overturned the Emperor's decision on account of me.
449
00:39:54,970 --> 00:39:58,260
He must be devastated.
450
00:39:59,090 --> 00:40:01,100
He will be fine.
451
00:40:02,950 --> 00:40:08,910
Your Highness, let me go instead.
452
00:40:10,090 --> 00:40:11,820
What do you mean?
453
00:40:11,830 --> 00:40:16,460
If I'm causing problems in the court and
the Emperor is troubled because of me,
454
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:19,720
it's best that I leave you.
455
00:40:19,970 --> 00:40:21,650
No.
456
00:40:23,620 --> 00:40:34,740
I wanted to help you, but
I'm a burden to you now.
457
00:40:34,750 --> 00:40:40,720
You are an indispensable person for me.
I'd give up the world before I give you up.
458
00:40:44,340 --> 00:40:46,810
The Emperor will soon be married.
459
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:53,030
And having a wife will make him change like you said.
460
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:55,120
Your Highness.
461
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,990
I am making you the Finance Commissioner.
462
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:05,350
Now you will be able to attend the meeting
of the council and openly speak your mind.
463
00:41:05,610 --> 00:41:09,580
Then they will see you for the amazing man that you are.
464
00:41:09,980 --> 00:41:16,270
But the Finance Commissioner oversees
the state's revenue and expenditures.
465
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,980
The officials will fiercely oppose appointing
me to such an important post.
466
00:41:20,990 --> 00:41:22,220
I don't think there is anyone
467
00:41:22,230 --> 00:41:25,750
that can take better care of
the state's finances than you can.
468
00:41:26,630 --> 00:41:32,290
And this is unbiased, professional opinion
based on watching you at work for years.
469
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:37,210
And personally speaking,
470
00:41:38,940 --> 00:41:44,840
there is nothing that can separate us except death.
471
00:41:51,870 --> 00:42:00,190
How could you attend to this sensitive matter so hastily?
472
00:42:00,610 --> 00:42:04,240
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager
473
00:42:01,460 --> 00:42:04,970
{\a6} [Seo Hui (Chief of the Supreme Council)]
474
00:42:04,250 --> 00:42:08,990
are now at odds with one another
as a result of your imprudence!
475
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,240
His Majesty had a good point and
we wanted to abide by his wishes.
476
00:42:13,590 --> 00:42:15,380
No one knew this would happen.
477
00:42:15,390 --> 00:42:22,230
Then you should have stuck by the decision
and supported him no matter what.
478
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:28,100
You've crushed the Emperor's pride and
humiliated him by switching sides.
479
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,860
How could high ministers of the state be so careless?
480
00:42:36,410 --> 00:42:39,340
Please calm down, Prime Minister.
481
00:42:39,350 --> 00:42:42,760
You are not well. Try not to get upset.
482
00:42:42,770 --> 00:42:45,400
I'm sorry, Prime Minister.
483
00:42:45,410 --> 00:42:48,830
We acted in haste. Forgive us.
484
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:54,310
This is why I didn't support the Emperor
on the decision in the first place.
485
00:42:54,320 --> 00:43:00,980
We have to abide by the acting head
of state, not the adolescent Emperor.
486
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,410
If that's how you felt, why
didn't you speak up last night?
487
00:43:05,420 --> 00:43:07,660
Believe me. I wanted to.
488
00:43:07,670 --> 00:43:11,460
But I was too appalled to speak.
489
00:43:11,470 --> 00:43:16,320
Stop. What's the use arguing now?
490
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,010
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager argued before the ministers?
491
00:43:28,260 --> 00:43:30,760
Yes!
492
00:43:30,770 --> 00:43:39,940
Over her openly carrying on a love affair
with Kim Chi Yang in the palace.
493
00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:47,120
Unbelievable!
The woman is shameless.
494
00:43:48,050 --> 00:43:51,960
How did you find out about this, Father?
495
00:43:52,370 --> 00:44:03,020
I may have lost my wings, but I still
have my ears and eyes in the palace.
496
00:44:04,010 --> 00:44:08,700
At any rate, we still have a chance.
497
00:44:09,410 --> 00:44:16,820
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are
drifting apart because of Kim Chi Yang.
498
00:44:16,830 --> 00:44:26,630
And with a little nudge,
the Emperor will soon long for you.
499
00:44:27,610 --> 00:44:31,180
And the Empress Dowager won't be a regent forever.
500
00:44:33,050 --> 00:44:43,620
If we can win the Emperor's favor we still have hope.
501
00:44:48,780 --> 00:44:54,060
General Gang, how long have we known each other?
502
00:44:55,770 --> 00:44:59,450
Your Highness, please address me casually.
503
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,930
I can't.
504
00:45:04,770 --> 00:45:08,080
Not only because you're now a minister of the court but
505
00:45:08,090 --> 00:45:10,120
because I don't feel close to you anymore.
506
00:45:13,450 --> 00:45:18,320
I thought you'd always support me whatever I do.
507
00:45:18,330 --> 00:45:20,790
I never ever doubted that.
508
00:45:22,530 --> 00:45:26,470
But I guess people change.
509
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:32,430
I have not changed, Your Highness.
510
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,660
Then why did you try to take
Secretary Kim away from me?
511
00:45:36,670 --> 00:45:39,300
Don't you know that I love him?
512
00:45:39,310 --> 00:45:45,180
Like I've told you repeatedly, Your Highness,
he is a dangerous man.
513
00:45:45,610 --> 00:45:47,710
Why? Why is he dangerous?
514
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:49,510
Make me understand.
515
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,250
I-I can't explain it.
516
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,030
But I don't like him.
517
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,350
In fact, I hate him so much that I want to kill him.
518
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:07,860
Do you really have no idea why I feel this way?
519
00:46:16,050 --> 00:46:20,860
I do have a hunch, but I won't dare say it.
520
00:46:22,190 --> 00:46:29,130
Because I'm afraid things will never
be the same between us if I do.
521
00:46:33,220 --> 00:46:36,270
So please don't fight me, General Gang.
522
00:46:36,770 --> 00:46:41,120
It would break my heart if you turned your back against me.
523
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:50,720
Is there anything I can say
or do to make you leave him?
524
00:46:53,610 --> 00:46:55,120
No.
525
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:04,760
He is the man I'll spend my life with
once my dream for Goryeo is realized.
526
00:47:10,590 --> 00:47:12,190
Very well.
527
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,330
Then give me an order.
528
00:47:18,950 --> 00:47:22,630
I can't obey if you ask me to be friends with him.
529
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:28,490
But if you tell me not to hate him,
530
00:47:29,380 --> 00:47:33,580
if that's my master's order,
I will try my hardest to obey.
531
00:47:38,050 --> 00:47:44,580
Very well. Drillmaster Gang, don't hate him.
532
00:47:45,390 --> 00:47:48,360
I'm ordering you as your master.
533
00:47:51,630 --> 00:47:54,650
I will do my best.
534
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,130
Hyang Bi?
535
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:26,820
Yes, Brother.
536
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:33,500
You were right.
537
00:48:34,690 --> 00:48:37,360
I was dreaming.
538
00:48:37,790 --> 00:48:42,220
It was an impossible dream to begin with.
539
00:48:44,210 --> 00:48:48,890
I was just a lowly refugee and I got this far.
540
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,240
What more could I ask for?
541
00:48:58,770 --> 00:49:00,380
Brother...
542
00:50:15,220 --> 00:50:16,130
Your Majesty!
543
00:50:19,500 --> 00:50:22,260
Please stop! You'll hurt yourself!
544
00:50:22,270 --> 00:50:25,360
Leave. Leave me alone!
545
00:50:25,370 --> 00:50:26,480
Your Majesty.
546
00:50:28,180 --> 00:50:32,680
You're no different.
547
00:50:32,690 --> 00:50:35,820
My mother sent you here to keep an eye on me.
548
00:50:35,830 --> 00:50:42,340
You're a spy sent here to see
what crazy stunt I pull next!
549
00:50:43,410 --> 00:50:45,380
Please calm down.
550
00:50:46,010 --> 00:50:48,560
Feeling a twinge of conscience?
551
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:53,340
You're so caring and consoling on the outside,
552
00:50:53,350 --> 00:50:57,690
but inside you're thinking about
what to tell my mother about me!
553
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,730
You can think what you want.
554
00:50:59,770 --> 00:51:03,000
{\a6}[Sun (Future Queen Sunjeong)]
555
00:51:03,740 --> 00:51:08,730
But please don't do anything
to hurt yourself, Your Majesty.
556
00:51:24,490 --> 00:51:27,870
Stupid idiot.
557
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:39,920
You, me... we're both stupid idiots!
558
00:51:41,740 --> 00:51:43,800
Yes, Your Majesty.
559
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:53,490
Run while you can, Cousin.
560
00:51:56,470 --> 00:51:58,200
Leave me,
561
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,290
leave this cursed palace,
562
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:08,510
and fly away while you can.
563
00:52:11,410 --> 00:52:19,230
You'll be wretchedly miserable if you marry me.
564
00:52:21,650 --> 00:52:24,130
So please leave.
565
00:52:26,610 --> 00:52:30,880
I don't want to see you get hurt.
566
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:04,230
Long time no see. How goes it?
567
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:06,550
What?
568
00:53:07,810 --> 00:53:12,260
You think you can talk to me in that tone
now that we're not in the palace?
569
00:53:14,910 --> 00:53:19,400
The Princess is here to see Lady Yunheung. Announce her.
570
00:53:20,490 --> 00:53:24,510
What? Lady Yunheung.
571
00:53:24,950 --> 00:53:28,540
How dare you call her by that name?!
572
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:33,550
Then what should I call her?
573
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,670
You wench!
574
00:53:36,490 --> 00:53:43,990
The Queen Dowager has no business
with you barbarians, so get out of here!
575
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,630
Ahh!
576
00:54:02,740 --> 00:54:06,880
I've been wanting to rearrange your face a little.
577
00:54:07,900 --> 00:54:10,290
What do you want done?
578
00:54:10,890 --> 00:54:13,610
Your nose or your eyes?
579
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:20,170
W-w-what's wrong?
580
00:54:23,450 --> 00:54:25,580
What is the meaning of this?
581
00:54:28,030 --> 00:54:30,710
Put that dagger down this instant!
582
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,900
Stop the playing now.
583
00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:53,730
Have you fared well, Big Sister?
584
00:54:59,810 --> 00:55:03,830
Join hands? What do you mean?
585
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:10,900
You want revenge on the Empress Dowager and so do I,
586
00:55:10,910 --> 00:55:14,650
so I thought we could help each other.
587
00:55:16,240 --> 00:55:20,670
I don't understand why you would have
anything against the Empress Dowager.
588
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:28,710
I am a Princess of Liao, but those people threw
me out of the palace like a common servant.
589
00:55:29,690 --> 00:55:34,470
I can't take this lying down, not
for myself or for my country.
590
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:42,600
So you take me for a woman who
would join hands with a barbarian?
591
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,580
I am the Queen Dowager of Goryeo.
592
00:55:47,940 --> 00:55:49,170
I may not be in the palace right now,
593
00:55:49,180 --> 00:55:52,500
but I am not someone you can
approach with this vulgar proposition.
594
00:55:55,070 --> 00:56:01,890
You certainly sound lofty for a daughter
of a man who works as a spy for Liao.
595
00:56:03,060 --> 00:56:04,800
What?
596
00:56:05,610 --> 00:56:10,210
Your father Kim Won Soong vowed loyalty
to our Empress Dowager Chengtian and
597
00:56:10,220 --> 00:56:14,040
became a spy for Great Liao.
598
00:56:15,390 --> 00:56:17,240
Were you not made aware?
599
00:56:17,790 --> 00:56:21,290
How dare you vilify my father with your guileful tongue!
600
00:56:21,300 --> 00:56:25,560
I've heard enough.
Leave at once!
601
00:56:25,570 --> 00:56:28,570
Don't get so worked up and think about it.
602
00:56:28,850 --> 00:56:33,260
How will you get revenge when you have nothing?
603
00:56:33,580 --> 00:56:37,320
You need me.
604
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,300
And? And?
605
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:53,110
and you couldn�t stop them?
606
00:56:54,130 --> 00:56:59,510
You couldn't stop the Goryeo from declaring an empire?
607
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,910
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
608
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:07,030
I was powerless to break the woman's spirit.
609
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,790
I told you to threaten her with war!
610
00:57:07,870 --> 00:57:10,400
{\a6}[Shengzhong of Liao (6th ruler of Khitan)]
611
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:17,870
And I did, but she laughed at me.
612
00:57:19,020 --> 00:57:20,720
Laughed?
613
00:57:20,730 --> 00:57:22,560
Yes, Your Majesty.
614
00:57:22,570 --> 00:57:29,560
She said without as much as a flinch
that we would crumble if we waged war.
615
00:57:30,050 --> 00:57:31,330
What?
616
00:57:33,990 --> 00:57:40,690
What did that wench dare say?
617
00:57:43,910 --> 00:57:49,170
Give me death for my failure, Your Majesty!
618
00:57:51,660 --> 00:57:52,870
Your Majesty.
619
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:01,640
The Goryeoan merchant caravan has arrived.
620
00:58:19,140 --> 00:58:21,020
Take the sword.
621
00:58:25,540 --> 00:58:26,900
What is this about, General?
622
00:58:26,910 --> 00:58:28,720
The Emperor has ordered
623
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,620
{\a6}[Yelu Pennu]
624
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,630
the Goryeoan dead.
625
00:58:33,370 --> 00:58:39,440
I can't kill an unarmed man, so take the sword.
626
00:58:32,750 --> 00:58:34,490
{\a6}[Sa Gamun]
627
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,690
Unsheathe it!
628
00:59:23,770 --> 00:59:25,000
What is the meaning of this?
629
00:59:25,230 --> 00:59:27,370
I've been ordered by the Prime Minister maintain active
630
00:59:27,380 --> 00:59:30,250
trading with Goryeo through this man.
631
00:59:30,260 --> 00:59:32,970
I can't let you kill him.
632
00:59:32,980 --> 00:59:37,750
Stand back! I am carrying out the Emperor's order!
633
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,450
And I am carrying out the Prime Minister's order.
634
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:47,080
If you must kill him, you'll have to kill me first.
635
00:59:52,710 --> 00:59:57,230
What does it say? Someone tell me what that says!
636
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:04,370
They are having a martial arts tournament
in honor of the Emperor's wedding.
637
01:00:04,700 --> 01:00:06,480
A martial arts tournament?
638
01:00:19,930 --> 01:00:22,030
What are you looking at?
639
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:30,330
You went from being a captain to a general
and now you're entering this tournament.
640
01:00:30,340 --> 01:00:32,230
Where does your ambition end?
641
01:00:32,970 --> 01:00:35,950
Who says I have to a general forever?
642
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,280
I want to be a high general and
see what the council hall looks like.
643
01:00:39,290 --> 01:00:40,440
You have a problem with that?
644
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,830
This guy always has a problem, sir.
645
01:00:45,290 --> 01:00:49,550
Why don't you enter the tournament if you think life is unfair?
646
01:00:50,470 --> 01:00:53,040
No, thank you.
647
01:00:53,050 --> 01:00:56,160
I'm not interested in boorish fist fighting.
648
01:00:56,170 --> 01:00:59,790
I won't use my muscle to get to the top.
649
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:06,070
Then are you going to bootlick your
way up to the top, you sycophant!
650
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,470
I'm not a sycophant!
651
01:01:09,350 --> 01:01:11,030
You'll see.
652
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,240
I'll use my clever brain to become a general.
653
01:01:14,550 --> 01:01:18,410
No, I'll get even higher!
654
01:01:21,660 --> 01:01:27,070
Dream on, you fool!
655
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:32,440
If you become a general, I'll be a monkey's uncle!
656
01:01:39,460 --> 01:01:41,210
That idiot.
657
01:02:03,690 --> 01:02:05,180
My name is Yang Kyu.
658
01:02:12,830 --> 01:02:14,370
My man.
659
01:02:16,590 --> 01:02:19,140
It's good to see you again, sir.
660
01:02:19,150 --> 01:02:22,420
I heard you're now the Minister of the Board of Rites.
661
01:02:22,430 --> 01:02:24,170
Congratulations.
662
01:02:24,500 --> 01:02:28,210
Thank you. Did you sign up?
663
01:02:28,220 --> 01:02:29,620
Yes, sir.
664
01:02:29,630 --> 01:02:32,470
But there're so many contestants.
665
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,060
I don't know how I'll do with my humble skills.
666
01:02:36,550 --> 01:02:42,070
If your skills are humble, all of these men
have to pack up and leave right now.
667
01:02:42,530 --> 01:02:47,830
Let's go. I'll give you a tour of the palace.
668
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:49,340
Thank you.
669
01:02:55,140 --> 01:02:56,540
Excuse me.
670
01:02:56,550 --> 01:02:57,840
That's quite all right.
671
01:03:06,270 --> 01:03:11,620
The wedding is tomorrow,
but I still don't feel comfortable.
672
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:18,760
His Majesty is much better now. Don't worry.
673
01:03:21,500 --> 01:03:22,650
Yes.
674
01:03:24,100 --> 01:03:27,400
Change him back to the bright
675
01:03:27,410 --> 01:03:30,640
and gentle boy that he used to be
when you become his wife.
676
01:03:32,140 --> 01:03:35,210
I know that I've hurt him.
677
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,080
And he is refusing to listen to me,
678
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,990
so you are my only hope.
679
01:03:45,010 --> 01:03:46,690
You can do it, can't you?
680
01:03:47,740 --> 01:03:53,890
Yes, Your Highness.
I will do everything I can.
681
01:04:00,740 --> 01:04:04,050
Good. Thank you.

Do you remember your father's face?
689
01:05:57,590 --> 01:05:59,650
Why are you crying, Prince?
690
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,770
He begged her to let me live.
691
01:06:02,780 --> 01:06:04,350
What?
692
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:08,650
You promised to leave me alone.
Why did you call me again?
693
