00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:28,920
It's fine.
Drink, Your Highness.
5
00:00:47,210 --> 00:00:49,460
Your Highness, wait.
6
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:51,540
What's wrong?
7
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,610
Please wait a moment.

{\a6}[Kim Chi Yang (Finance Commissioner)]
9
00:00:55,070 --> 00:00:57,410
Look at my eyes.
10
00:00:58,260 --> 00:01:01,850
Pardon?
Is there a problem?
11
00:01:01,870 --> 00:01:06,370
You're hiding something.
12
00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:12,430
Did you put something in the tonic?
13
00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:16,910
I-I don't know what you mean.
14
00:01:17,770 --> 00:01:21,710
Then why are you so nervous?
15
00:01:21,730 --> 00:01:24,480
No, I'm not...
16
00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:29,910
It's not poisoned.
Sa Illa and I both checked it ourselves.
17
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:38,280
Speak the truth now,
or I will have you beheaded!
18
00:01:38,660 --> 00:01:42,990
Speak.
Did you poison the tonic?
19
00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:46,560
No, please!
It's not poison!
20
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:49,890
It's not poison?

{\a6}[Empress Dowager Cheonchu]
22
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:52,540
Then you did add something else.
23
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Yes, I...
24
00:01:55,420 --> 00:01:57,610
Speak the truth!
25
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:01,110
Give me death!
26
00:02:01,130 --> 00:02:03,410
The Emperor ordered me to
add the concoction.
27
00:02:03,430 --> 00:02:06,340
I-I had no choice.
28
00:02:07,630 --> 00:02:10,920
The concoction?
What concoction?
29
00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:13,970
A concoction that will
terminate the pregnancy...
30
00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:15,130
What?
31
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:19,290
I know I deserve death, but please
spare my life, Your Highness.
32
00:02:25,970 --> 00:02:27,810
Then drink it.
33
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:29,420
Pardon?
34
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:34,010
If it isn't poisoned,
prove it by drinking it yourself.
35
00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:37,290
Then I'll let you live.
36
00:02:37,530 --> 00:02:39,620
Here. Drink!
37
00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:54,310
I'm done.
38
00:02:58,330 --> 00:03:03,000
Did the Emperor really order
you to terminate my pregnancy?
39
00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:06,980
Yes, Your Highness.
Please forgive me.
40
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,370
Leave us.
41
00:03:24,870 --> 00:03:29,110
A tragedy was narrowly missed,
Your Highness.
42
00:03:58,590 --> 00:04:02,500
Physician, what's wrong?
43
00:04:10,610 --> 00:04:17,820
You must be very careful about
everything you consume from now on.
44
00:04:18,140 --> 00:04:21,860
Inspect everything even more thoroughly.
45
00:04:22,630 --> 00:04:24,230
We can check for poison
46

{\a6}[Cheon Hyang Bi] {\a6}[Sa Illa]
47
00:04:24,250 --> 00:04:27,020
but how will we know if it's anything else?
48
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,930
Hyang Bi tasted the tonic,
49
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:31,410
but she was unable to detect anything.
50
00:04:33,790 --> 00:04:40,310
Hyang Bi!
Hyang Bi, what's wrong?
51
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:48,770
Hyang Bi!
Hyang Bi!
52
00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:50,630
What happened?
53
00:04:50,650 --> 00:04:51,780
I don't know.
54
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,950
She just fell to the floor
coughing up blood.
55
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:59,100
Is it poison?
The physician just fell dead outside!
56
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,540
What?
The physician?
57
00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:12,910
Call another physician at once!
Go!
58
00:05:12,930 --> 00:05:14,620
Yes, Your Highness!
59
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,480
What happened to her?
60
00:05:26,830 --> 00:05:35,390
It is poison judging by the symptoms,
but I cannot discern the type of poison.
61
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,850
What happened?
62
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,910
He died by poisoning according to
my preliminary examinations,
63
00:05:44,930 --> 00:05:48,400
but I do not know what
kind of poison was used.
64
00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:51,370
I don't understand.
Explain.
65
00:05:51,390 --> 00:05:52,510
Yes.
66
00:05:52,820 --> 00:05:57,300
There were substance traces that appear
to be poison in the Royal physician's
67
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,390
bloody mucus, but it's
odorless and colorless.
68
00:06:02,540 --> 00:06:07,370
I have analyzed the herbal
tonic as well but found nothing.
69
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,470
How about Hyang Bi?
What will happen to her?
70
00:06:12,750 --> 00:06:17,940
We can't prescribe an antidote
not knowing what is in her system.
71
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,070
She only consumed a small amount, so
her breathing and pulse is stable, but...
72
00:06:24,140 --> 00:06:27,780
Then why is she still unconscious?
73
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:26,890
{\a6}[Gang Jo (Minister of War)]
74
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,040
Bring her back no matter what it takes.
75
00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:41,160
If anything should happen to her,
I will hold the two of you responsible.
76
00:06:41,180 --> 00:06:44,030
We will do our best.
77
00:06:44,830 --> 00:06:48,590
And listen carefully.
78
00:06:49,180 --> 00:06:53,200
No one must know about
what happened here today.
79
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,860
You will keep this to yourselves
until we get to the bottom of this.
80
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,510
Do you understand?
81
00:07:01,530 --> 00:07:04,450
Yes, Your Highness.
82
00:07:14,770 --> 00:07:19,760
How do you feel about
what the Emperor said?
83
00:07:20,780 --> 00:07:23,570
I agree with him.
84
00:07:23,590 --> 00:07:26,780
If we're going to have the Emperor and the Empress butting heads all the time,
85

{\a6}[Chae Choongsun (Minister of Investigation)]
86
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,470
the country is better off with
Prince Daeryang on the throne.
87
00:07:32,490 --> 00:07:38,740
But the Empress Dowager will
never approve.
88

{\a6}[Hwangbo Yui (Vice Minister of Finance)]
89
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Besides, Prince Daeryang is too young.
90
00:07:44,060 --> 00:07:48,290
Don't you see the real reason why
91
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,740
{\a6} [Kim Shimon (Minister of Punishment)]
92
00:07:48,310 --> 00:07:50,580
the Emperor wants to abdicate the throne?
93
00:07:51,050 --> 00:07:53,200
The real reason?
94
00:07:53,220 --> 00:07:59,720
He is wary of the Empress Dowager
giving birth to another male heir.
95
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:07,040
Another male heir?
You mean the Empress Dowager might...
96
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,730
It's more than a possibility.
97
00:08:12,850 --> 00:08:19,010
Emperor chose this abdication
to forestall the possibility of
98
00:08:19,030 --> 00:08:22,830
Kim Chi Yang's son being
brought to the throne.
99
00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:25,170
That would be an outrage!
100
00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:28,250
If this is indeed His Majesty's intent,
101
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,440
{\a6}[Choi Suk (Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel)]
102
00:08:28,270 --> 00:08:30,980
we must support this abdication.
103
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,050
That's right.
104
00:08:33,070 --> 00:08:37,580
We cannot serve Kim Chi Yang�s
son as our emperor.
105
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,180
{\a6}[Choi Wonshin (Vice Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]
106
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,310
No.
107
00:08:39,580 --> 00:08:45,920
I may be Empress Dowager's relative,
but I can't accept that.
108
00:08:46,330 --> 00:08:51,880
Then I take it no one objects to this
109
00:08:46,970 --> 00:08:50,630
{\a6}[Han Ingyeong (Minister of Finance)]
110
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,640
abdication in favor of Prince Daeryang.
111
00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:58,350
How could we object?
112
00:08:58,610 --> 00:09:04,290
The Imperial line might change otherwise.
113
00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:07,670
What's more, this court will be full of soldiers,
114
00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:11,290
and we won't have a ground to
stand on if things don't change.
115
00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:16,190
Goryeo will belong to the warriors.
116
00:09:16,210 --> 00:09:18,980
We can't let that happen.
No way.
117
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,340
They have already taken our land.
118
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,270
And if we don't stand up and fight,
119
00:09:24,290 --> 00:09:28,030
we'll end up dispensing everything we
own to the warriors, including our women!
120
00:09:28,570 --> 00:09:32,280
That's why we must help the Emperor.
121
00:09:32,770 --> 00:09:37,100
First let us speak to the Emperor
and confirm his will so we can
122
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,000
really follow through this time.
123
00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:45,980
But the Empress Dowager will know
right away if we see him in the palace.
124
00:09:46,890 --> 00:09:53,160
We can't see him in the palace.
We must bring the Emperor here.
125
00:09:59,430 --> 00:10:04,620
Do you really think the
Emperor is behind this?
126
00:10:06,390 --> 00:10:13,440
The dead physician said he
ordered him to alter the tonic.
127
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:18,120
To add a concoction to terminate
the pregnancy, not to add poison.
128
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,680
If it were poison, he wouldn't
have drunk it so readily.
129
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:26,420
You don't know that.
130
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,280
I would have made him drink
if he had refused.
131
00:10:31,510 --> 00:10:38,000
He got caught, so he gave up
everything and chose death.
132
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:47,060
Your Highness,
just look at what's been going on.
133
00:10:47,270 --> 00:10:52,510
The Emperor's animosity for you
has gone past the point of reason.
134
00:10:55,580 --> 00:11:02,180
But he wouldn't try to kill me.
He would never.
135
00:11:02,390 --> 00:11:06,460
How could he kill his own mother
no matter how much he hates me?
136
00:11:07,260 --> 00:11:13,750
Perhaps there were
others encouraging him.
137
00:11:15,460 --> 00:11:17,280
Others?
138
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:22,080
Anti-war civil officials are quite
disgruntled with you because
139
00:11:22,290 --> 00:11:26,180
they were forced to return
their land for military use.
140
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,760
They could've encouraged the Emperor.
141
00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:36,360
Why else would this issue of abdication
suddenly come up out of the blue?
142
00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:44,850
Your Highness, I know you're in shock
but you must keep a clear head.
143
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:50,640
Watch the Emperor very
carefully from now on.
144
00:11:50,660 --> 00:11:54,630
If you fall, this country will fall.
145
00:11:58,940 --> 00:12:04,140
I think I'm the root of all of this.
146
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,450
Renounce me and remove me
from my post, Your Highness.
147
00:12:13,210 --> 00:12:18,040
I don't care what happens to me,
but this country must be protected.
148
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,620
And that means you must
stay alive no matter what.
149
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,120
No matter what!
150
00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:43,010
Have you been to Cheonchu Hall?
151
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:44,320
Yes, Your Majesty.
152
00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:48,260
Was there any commotion?
153
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,330
No, Your Majesty.
154
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,280
Was the Royal physician
there at Cheonchu Hall?

{\a6}[Mokjong (7th ruler of Goryeo)]
156
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,710
I did not enter the building, so I'm
afraid I do not know, Your Majesty.
157
00:13:09,130 --> 00:13:13,740
Your Majesty, if I may have a word...
158
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,240
What is it?

is requesting to see you.
160
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:29,600
Send him in.
161
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,820
No, Your Majesty.

{\a6}[Goh Hyun]

a secret meeting outside

165

Outside the palace?
166

Yes.
167
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:54,590
He said he hopes you will not deny his
request for the sake of Goryeo's future.
168
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,160
You can't die on me, Hyang Bi.
169

Please.

00:14:36,630 --> 00:14:38,540
Who could be the culprit?
176
00:14:40,750 --> 00:14:47,710
My guess is the Emperor
put the physician up to it.
177
00:14:47,730 --> 00:14:49,350
The Emperor?
178
00:14:51,020 --> 00:14:55,420
But a crisis has become
an opportunity for us.
179
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,320
This puts the strained mother
and son relationship beyond repair.
180
00:15:04,010 --> 00:15:06,800
Now the problem is Prince Daeryang.
181
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:11,370
He has become our last
problem, as I feared.
182
00:15:12,180 --> 00:15:17,020
Sa Illa made a huge mistake
letting the child live.
183
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:26,620
To fulfill our great enterprise,
he has to die.
184
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:41,230
What are you mumbling about?
185
00:15:41,490 --> 00:15:44,450
It's really odd.
186
00:15:44,870 --> 00:15:46,180
What is.
187
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:51,140
I tried to pay coins to make a purchase
188
00:15:47,060 --> 00:15:50,180
{\a6}[Yi Jujeong]
189
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:56,670
at the market place and the
merchant woudn't accept them.
190
00:15:56,690 --> 00:16:01,180
The merchant didn't want to be paid?
Why not?
191
00:16:01,430 --> 00:16:10,210
He wanted me to pay him with grains like
we used to before the coins came out.
192
00:16:11,580 --> 00:16:15,860
There's an overabundance of coinage these days.
193
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,600
They were so rare in the beginning.
194
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:27,870
Even gisaengs don't like
it if you tip them with coins.
195
00:16:28,140 --> 00:16:30,140
They don't know what it's like to be poor.
196
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:33,530
By the way, have you seen Duyan?
197
00:16:34,580 --> 00:16:43,100
She was quacking like a choking
duck earlier with an upset stomach
198
00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:47,090
and went off somewhere.
199
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,570
She might have gone out to
get some medicine.
200
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,660
Steward Yi.
201
00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:57,160
Yes?
202
00:16:57,370 --> 00:17:03,900
Speaking of medicine, did you by chance
show the Empress Dowager's herbal blend
203
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,010
to anyone before taking it to the palace?
204
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:14,950
How did you know?
Duyan took a peak at it.
205
00:17:15,970 --> 00:17:17,560
Duyan?
206
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:25,900
She wanted to see them so she'd know
what to take when she gets pregnant.
207
00:17:26,130 --> 00:17:29,200
Why do you ask?
208
00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:58,870
It's a eunuch's robe.
Please put it on.
209
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:20,160
I already told you what I want.
210
00:18:20,660 --> 00:18:23,320
I am abdicating my
throne to Daeryangwon.
211
00:18:23,340 --> 00:18:28,500
But Your Majesty, will the
Empress Dowager allow that?
212
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,720
We are gathered here out
of concern that she will not.
213
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,530
Concerned? Then do you have any suggestions?
214
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,190
If you are serious about bringing
Prince Daeryang forward and
215
00:18:43,210 --> 00:18:46,310
having the Empress Dowager
relinquish her regency,
216
00:18:46,820 --> 00:18:49,800
we will wholeheartedly support you.
217
00:18:49,820 --> 00:18:53,890
You will? Why?
218
00:18:54,290 --> 00:18:57,210
Because we believe that the
219
00:18:58,290 --> 00:19:02,840
Empress Dowager is leading
this country in the wrong direction.
220
00:19:03,380 --> 00:19:08,010
Also, there is a chance the Empress
Dowager will bring her new child
221
00:19:08,030 --> 00:19:12,140
forward to continue the Imperial line,
and we want to forestall that possibility.
222
00:19:12,590 --> 00:19:17,960
But aren't you going to change your
stance if my mother raises her voice?
223
00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:21,800
No, Your Majesty, this is different.
224
00:19:21,820 --> 00:19:23,600
That's right, Your Majesty.
225
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:26,770
This is to preserve the
imperial line of Goryeo.
226
00:19:26,790 --> 00:19:28,860
Please give us your trust.
227
00:19:33,050 --> 00:19:37,590
They're gathered at the home
of the Minister of Finance?
228
00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:39,170
Yes, Your Highness.
229
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,900
All right. You may go.
230
00:19:58,230 --> 00:20:04,700
Emperor, are you really trying to kill me?
231
00:20:05,990 --> 00:20:10,180
I'm your mother.
Your mother...
232
00:20:16,810 --> 00:20:18,490
Empress Dowager.
233
00:20:18,510 --> 00:20:24,310
Relinquish the regency and
invest the Emperor with full power!
234
00:20:24,330 --> 00:20:28,730
Invest the Emperor with full power!
235
00:20:28,750 --> 00:20:32,870
Install Prince Daeryangwon
as the Crown Prince of Goryeo
236
00:20:32,890 --> 00:20:34,820
and preserve the Imperial line!
237
00:20:34,950 --> 00:20:39,360
Install Prince Daeryangwon
as the Crown Prince!
238
00:20:39,380 --> 00:20:41,290
Remove the military officials
239
00:20:41,310 --> 00:20:43,270
from the stipend land* policy!
240
00:20:40,850 --> 00:20:46,680
{\a6}[*Stipend Land Law: A system in which grants of land
was allocated for pay of government officials.]
241
00:20:43,290 --> 00:20:44,950
Remove the military officials
242
00:20:44,970 --> 00:20:47,500
from the stipend land policy!
243
00:20:58,820 --> 00:21:02,910
I don't need to read them.
Take them out and burn them!
244
00:21:04,550 --> 00:21:05,650
Yes, Your Highness.
245
00:21:05,670 --> 00:21:08,040
Is Hyang Bi still unconscious?
246
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:10,560
Yes.
247
00:21:10,580 --> 00:21:15,490
General Gang was with her all night,
but she has yet to regain consciousness.
248
00:21:16,030 --> 00:21:19,330
Are the National Academy students
still protesting outside?
249
00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:20,340
Yes.
250
00:21:38,450 --> 00:21:42,730
Thanks to you,
the country has been turned upside down.
251
00:21:43,020 --> 00:21:44,930
Are you satisfied?
252
00:21:47,250 --> 00:21:51,680
Students are calling for me
to relinquish the regency,
253
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:56,510
revise the stipend land policy and install
Prince Daeryang as Crown Prince.
254
00:21:56,530 --> 00:22:00,810
And petitions are pouring in from
every section of this government
255
00:22:00,830 --> 00:22:03,800
complaining and criticizing my policies.
256
00:22:03,820 --> 00:22:09,750
On top of that, the Emperor taking your
side, is refusing to conduct his duties!
257
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:17,870
Your Highness, what you see is
the ministers and officials of the
258
00:22:17,890 --> 00:22:23,070
court standing by the Emperor
supporting his decisions.
259
00:22:23,090 --> 00:22:25,180
Yes, Your Highness.
260
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,410
His Majesty is firm on his will
to bring Prince Daeryang forward,
261
00:22:29,430 --> 00:22:33,500
and it would be wise to abide.
262
00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:37,210
No, Your Majesty.
263
00:22:37,230 --> 00:22:41,030
His Highness is a young man and
you are still healthy and strong.
264
00:22:41,050 --> 00:22:42,660
Abdication is out of the question.
265
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,400
This is an exploitation of the
young prince and an underhanded
266
00:22:47,420 --> 00:22:49,690
scheme in pursuit of selfish interests.
267
00:22:49,870 --> 00:22:53,530
Watch your words, Sir.
268
00:22:53,550 --> 00:22:54,940
Selfish interest?
269
00:22:55,180 --> 00:22:59,570
We are doing our duty to the Emperor
by supporting his decisions.
270
00:23:00,060 --> 00:23:06,550
Our duty as the Emperor's men is
to stop him from making a mistake.
271
00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:11,210
But you are goading him instead.
272
00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:18,260
What makes you think bringing
Daeryangwon forward is a mistake?
273
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,360
I don't understand this.
274
00:23:21,380 --> 00:23:28,310
The Khitan are watching
for an opportunity to attack us.
275
00:23:28,330 --> 00:23:32,130
How can we put a young child
on the throne at a time like this?
276
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,240
Do you truly believe this is prudent?
277
00:23:36,260 --> 00:23:38,690
Why not?
278
00:23:39,260 --> 00:23:45,140
We've already built a military force that's
strong enough to fend off any invasion.
279
00:23:45,450 --> 00:23:51,280
If we just abandon the ridiculous idea
of invading Liao first, we will be fine.
280
00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:53,710
Minister Kim.
281
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,710
How can you speak
282
00:23:54,740 --> 00:23:59,010
{\a6}[Dae Dosu (Minister of Punishment)]
283
00:23:55,730 --> 00:23:57,800
so lightly about the Khitan when
284
00:23:57,820 --> 00:24:00,180
you've experienced the war of 933?
285
00:24:00,310 --> 00:24:03,070
Yes, the war of 933 has
indeed taught us a lesson-
286
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:08,980
that nothing good can come from
provoking the vicious Khitan.
287
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:13,870
Excessive ambition always brings injury.
288
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,510
You called for surrender of
land when we were at war and
289
00:24:17,530 --> 00:24:20,010
now you say don't provoke the Khitan?
290
00:24:20,910 --> 00:24:23,580
Which country do you serve?
291
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:34,110
Your Highness, the issue of
abdication may be unsuitable
292
00:24:34,130 --> 00:24:38,280
considering Prince Daeryang's young age.
293
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:38,610
{\a6}[Choi Hang (Royal Undersecretary)]
294
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:44,900
But I think it is prudent to have him
invested as Crown Prince just in case
295
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:50,730
just as the former King invested His
Majesty as his heir early in his reign.
296
00:24:54,750 --> 00:24:57,360
Yes, Your Highness.
297
00:24:57,380 --> 00:24:59,700
As I've previously advised,
298
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:02,800
{\a6} [Gang Gamchan (Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]
299
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,530
focus on national defense and foreign affairs
300
00:25:03,550 --> 00:25:07,030
and turn over the control of domestic affairs to the Emperor.
301
00:25:07,050 --> 00:25:13,250
And attend to the future of Goryeo by
installing Daeryangwon as Crown Prince.
302
00:25:13,270 --> 00:25:19,590
I think that would be meeting half way.
303
00:25:19,810 --> 00:25:23,740
No, it is not.
304
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,290
That would be asking me to
give up all of my policies.
305
00:25:27,690 --> 00:25:34,190
If I give an inch, you will prod the
Emperor to take two, and ultimately,
306
00:25:34,210 --> 00:25:38,660
you will ask me to undo everything
I've accomplished.
307
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,220
Why would you call for a revision of the
stipend land policy if this was not the case?
308
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,070
This is a scheme to remove me from power.
309
00:25:48,610 --> 00:25:51,050
No, Your Highness.
310
00:25:51,070 --> 00:25:53,550
We only have the Emperor's
interest at heart.
311
00:25:53,570 --> 00:25:55,210
Silence!
312
00:25:56,650 --> 00:25:58,620
I don't care what you say or do.
313
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,060
I will not step down until the Khitan are defeated!
314
00:26:02,530 --> 00:26:05,160
If the Emperor wants me gone,
315
00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:10,070
have him devise policies that are superior
than mine and prove himself first.
316
00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:14,050
If the Emperor shapes up
and prove himself worthy,
317
00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:18,020
I will leave even if he begs me to stay.
318
00:26:21,620 --> 00:26:26,090
And to prevent this commotion
from stirring up the court again,
319
00:26:26,270 --> 00:26:30,310
I am having Prince Daeryang shaven
and sent into priesthood.
320
00:26:30,330 --> 00:26:31,870
So be advised.
321
00:26:34,510 --> 00:26:41,560
Your Highness, I don't understand?
Send the Prince into priesthood?
322
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,200
I will no longer tolerate any more of
these audacious challenges against me.
323
00:26:46,220 --> 00:26:49,800
So do not discuss this any further.
324
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:52,750
Your Highness!
325
00:26:57,250 --> 00:27:03,770
Send Prince Daeryang into priesthood?
Turn that child into a monk?
326
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,930
Yes, Your Majesty.
That is the Empress Dowager's order.
327
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,770
Your Highness, this is an unreasonable command.
328
00:27:19,790 --> 00:27:28,450
His Highness is without an heir, so it's prudent
to install Prince Daeryang as Crown Prince.
329
00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:34,110
But send him into priesthood?
This is unfathomable, Your Highness.
330
00:27:37,090 --> 00:27:44,510
Think about Lady Seol.
How can you do this to her son?
331
00:27:44,530 --> 00:27:47,160
I beg you to withdraw your order.
332
00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:51,490
Don't speak of my sister Seol in haste.
333
00:27:53,050 --> 00:27:59,600
She meant more to me than
Prince Gyeongjuwon meant to you.
334
00:28:00,370 --> 00:28:06,250
Then why are you trying to send
your sister's son into priesthood?
335
00:28:07,070 --> 00:28:12,450
To protect him.
To protect my young nephew's life.
336
00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:22,090
If I do nothing, evil forces will use
him to plot treason against me.
337
00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:28,740
Do you think he could be spared
in the center of high treason?
338
00:28:30,610 --> 00:28:38,440
This is the only way to protect him
from the whirlwind of political war.
339
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:45,650
High treason, by those who are
discontent with your policies?
340
00:28:45,670 --> 00:28:49,290
You're thinking too far ahead,
Your Highness.
341
00:28:50,970 --> 00:28:55,740
Yesterday, a physician drank the herbal
tonic that was meant for me and fell dead.
342
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,260
Now tell me if I'm thinking too far ahead.
343
00:28:59,860 --> 00:29:02,030
What do you mean?
344
00:29:02,050 --> 00:29:06,580
Are you saying that
someone tried to kill you?
345
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:08,800
Yes.
346
00:29:10,170 --> 00:29:16,010
The physician died after drinking it
and Cheon Hyang Bi is still unconscious.
347
00:29:16,150 --> 00:29:20,150
This happened simultaneously with the
Emperor's declaration of abdication.
348
00:29:20,170 --> 00:29:22,090
Do you think it's a coincidence?
349
00:29:22,110 --> 00:29:24,080
Unbelievable!
350
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:32,670
Your confidant, Prince Gyeongjuwon, spent
his life running away from the throne.
351
00:29:33,570 --> 00:29:38,370
He was wise to do so, and his son
Daeryangwon must do the same now.
352
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,500
Or he will die.
353
00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:51,780
But in the end, Prince Gyeongjuwon
couldn't escape death either.
354
00:29:53,090 --> 00:29:58,510
If someone wants you dead,
there is nothing you can do.
355
00:29:59,970 --> 00:30:04,190
What do you mean?
Didn't he commit suicide?
356
00:30:04,810 --> 00:30:08,170
Well, that's...
357
00:30:08,190 --> 00:30:11,640
Your Highness, His Majesty
the Emperor wishes to see you.
358
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,120
Please leave us, Minister Gang.
359
00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:27,890
Yes.
360
00:30:48,820 --> 00:30:53,080
Did you come to see the Empress
Dowager about Prince Daeryangwon?
361
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,950
Commissioner Kim.
362
00:30:57,970 --> 00:31:02,940
Do not lay your hands
on Prince Daeryangwon.
363
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:07,800
What... do you mean?
364
00:31:07,820 --> 00:31:11,510
You have been warned.
365
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:19,790
As long as I am alive, anyone who tries
to harm the prince will not survive.
366
00:31:31,090 --> 00:31:34,050
Why don't you make me a monk instead?
367
00:31:34,870 --> 00:31:39,030
If this is about Prince Daeryang,
you can leave.
368
00:31:39,270 --> 00:31:46,790
Why are you punishing an innocent child?
Does power mean that much to you?
369
00:31:46,810 --> 00:31:50,700
Or are you really planning to
continue the Imperial line of
370
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,840
Goryeo with Kim Chi Yang�s child?
371
00:31:56,180 --> 00:32:00,140
I see.
So that was the reason.
372
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:05,620
Is his unborn child the reason
why you tried to hurt me?
373
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:14,470
Did you order the physician to put
poison in my tonic because of this child?
374
00:32:16,550 --> 00:32:18,430
There was no other option.
375
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:27,370
Kim Chi Yang will try to depose me and put
his son on the throne if the child is born.
376
00:32:27,390 --> 00:32:32,870
That's why I tried to abdicate my throne
to Daeryangwon before the child is born,
377
00:32:32,890 --> 00:32:35,530
but you shot that down.
378
00:32:35,740 --> 00:32:40,720
As the Emperor, I had to stop the
Imperial line from being replaced.
379
00:32:44,590 --> 00:32:47,990
How can you acknowledge this so easily?
380
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,560
I am your mother who
brought you into this world.
381
00:32:55,150 --> 00:33:00,140
I fought with my life to get
you back from the late King.
382
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:06,130
How could you attempt to kill me
and speak as if it is nothing?
383
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:07,870
Kill you?
384
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,130
It was a potion that
terminates pregnancy.
385
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,080
I would never hurt you.
386
00:33:15,540 --> 00:33:17,460
You lie!
387
00:33:18,620 --> 00:33:24,490
The physician fell dead after drinking
that potion and Hyang Bi is comatose!
388
00:33:28,770 --> 00:33:33,250
What did you discuss with the ministers
sneaking out in the middle of the night?
389
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,910
Do you think peace will
reign over the land and
390
00:33:37,930 --> 00:33:41,100
you will sleep soundly at
night once I'm dead?
391
00:33:41,790 --> 00:33:46,370
Only a monster could do such a thing.
How could you?
392
00:33:46,530 --> 00:33:51,270
No, Mother. No!
There must be some mistake.
393
00:33:51,290 --> 00:33:56,340
I only ordered him to add something
that would terminate your pregnancy.
394
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:03,940
No, I don't believe you anymore.
395
00:34:04,790 --> 00:34:10,540
You have shattered my heart!
396
00:34:12,270 --> 00:34:19,020
How could you know this grief
that I can't share with no one?
397
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,020
Mother...
398
00:34:23,290 --> 00:34:27,300
But hear me loud and hear me clear.
399
00:34:28,610 --> 00:34:36,610
I will forget that you transgressed
moral laws and tried to kill me.
400
00:34:38,150 --> 00:34:41,480
I'll try my hardest to try to forget it.
401
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:50,690
But I will not tolerate any
scheme to hurt my country!
402
00:34:50,710 --> 00:34:54,120
Even if my own son is behind it.
403
00:34:54,860 --> 00:34:56,260
Mother...
404
00:34:57,340 --> 00:35:02,330
Leave.
I never want to see you again.
405
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,210
You failed?
406
00:35:58,390 --> 00:35:59,740
Yes.
407
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:02,360
{\a6}[Duyan]
408
00:35:59,870 --> 00:36:03,110
The physician drank the
tonic instead and died.
409
00:36:04,220 --> 00:36:07,420
Then try again.
410
00:36:07,730 --> 00:36:09,620
They'll take impenetrable security
411
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,810
measures now that they know
someone's after her life.
412
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,060
There's nothing more I can do.
413
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,330
Nothing is impossible
if you try hard enough.
414
00:36:18,980 --> 00:36:20,200
Do it.
415
00:36:20,650 --> 00:36:24,020
It's your redemption for
betraying the country.
416
00:36:21,220 --> 00:36:23,280
{\a6}[Jiemei]
417
00:36:25,310 --> 00:36:30,370
I'm sorry.
I can't help you anymore.
418
00:36:31,090 --> 00:36:34,910
You would dare defy the
Prime Minister's order?
419
00:36:36,310 --> 00:36:42,780
This was my last act of
loyalty to the Prime Minister.
420
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,890
So you show your true colors at last.
421
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:54,030
There's only death for traitors.
422
00:38:02,650 --> 00:38:04,130
Are you all right?
423
00:38:05,230 --> 00:38:07,380
How did you know I was here?
424
00:38:07,690 --> 00:38:09,190
I followed you.
425
00:38:11,860 --> 00:38:13,270
Talk.
426
00:38:14,850 --> 00:38:17,160
Don't you have something to tell me?
427
00:38:19,660 --> 00:38:24,090
Did you poison the Empress
Dowager's herbal tonic?
428
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,690
Yes.
429
00:38:33,130 --> 00:38:35,780
How could you betray me so easily?
430
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,680
What did you expect from a girl
who betrayed her own country?
431
00:38:40,700 --> 00:38:42,670
Did you want to leave me
and go back to Liao?
432
00:38:42,690 --> 00:38:44,400
Is that why you did this?
433
00:38:46,990 --> 00:38:48,930
It was the Prime Minister's order.
434
00:38:49,570 --> 00:38:54,230
I owe my family's life to him.
435
00:38:55,460 --> 00:38:59,880
I couldn't defeat him.
436
00:39:00,350 --> 00:39:07,350
How could you be so stupid?
If this gets out, you'll be executed!
437
00:39:08,810 --> 00:39:10,390
I don't care.
438
00:39:13,620 --> 00:39:20,350
Do you think I'll be spared if
they find out that you did this?
439
00:39:21,140 --> 00:39:26,030
Then I'll leave.
440
00:39:28,260 --> 00:39:29,920
And go where?
441
00:39:31,310 --> 00:39:35,850
You're not welcome in Liao anymore.
442
00:39:38,230 --> 00:39:39,810
Don't worry.
443
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,060
It won't be hard to find
a place to rest my bones.
444
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:54,860
We will keep this just between us.
445
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,450
What do you mean by that?
446
00:39:58,570 --> 00:40:00,670
I don't think I can let you go.
447
00:40:00,690 --> 00:40:04,550
No, I'm not letting you go.
448
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,120
Stay with me.
449
00:40:19,530 --> 00:40:21,240
Please stay with me.
450
00:40:33,990 --> 00:40:37,120
You mean you failed?
451
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,710
Yes.
452
00:40:40,460 --> 00:40:43,440
After all that bravado!
453
00:40:43,610 --> 00:40:47,740
In any event, we had no part in this.
454
00:40:48,210 --> 00:40:52,400
Why did you come here anyway?
455
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:53,980
No part in this?
456
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,540
That's right.
457
00:40:55,930 --> 00:40:59,890
I told you this was a bad idea from
the beginning and tried to stop you.

{\a6}[Kim Won Soong]
459
00:41:00,690 --> 00:41:05,480
It makes no difference whether
you tried to stop me or not.
460
00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:08,410
The important thing is that you knew
461
00:41:08,650 --> 00:41:12,990
there would be an attempt on the Empress
Dowager's life and you did nothing.
462
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:16,190
Isn't that right?
463
00:41:17,010 --> 00:41:20,790
Is that a threat?

place of the Empress Dowager's

next trip out of the Imperial palace.

Are you hurting anywhere?

How is your stomach?

00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,990
Yes. What happened to me?

I will never put you in danger again.
Thank you for being alive, Hyang Bi.

Thank heavens she is all right.

I will marry Hyang Bi as
soon as she recovers.

That's wonderful.
482
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,300
Select an auspicious date and tie the knot.

This is long overdue.

So what can I do for you for your wedding?
485
00:43:45,580 --> 00:43:47,170
I only have one wish.
486

I don't want Hyang Bi
carrying a sword anymore.

I understand.
488
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,000
And don't be concerned about my safety.
I still have Sa Illa.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I feel like my friends are
leaving me one by one.

It saddens me a little.

Your Highness...
493
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:38,260
I'm sorry, General Gang.
I shouldn't have said that.

There is something I want to ask of you.

What would people say about

he tried to kill his own mother?
498
00:45:00,940 --> 00:45:05,140
It must never be known.

We can bring him back when the time comes, so it is all right.

But I'm certain there will be attempts
on his life once he leaves the palace.

00:46:29,350 --> 00:46:34,280
This country cannot afford
to lose Prince Daeryang.
516
00:46:38,310 --> 00:46:44,260
Empress Dowager, Prince Daeryang
is the future heir to the throne!
517
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:51,250
He must not be sent into priesthood!
Please reconsider!
518
00:46:51,270 --> 00:46:53,970
Please reconsider!
519
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:58,280
He must not be sent into priesthood!
520
00:47:03,790 --> 00:47:05,920
Break up the protest.
521
00:47:05,940 --> 00:47:07,350
Yes, Sir.
522
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,690
Empress Dowager!
523
00:47:33,500 --> 00:47:37,990
{\a6}[Wang Sun- Prince Daeryang (future King Hyeonjong)]
524
00:47:58,590 --> 00:48:03,850
Your Majesty, Your Highness,
I've come to bid farewell.
525
00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:08,450
{\a6}[Empress Sunjeong]
526
00:48:06,550 --> 00:48:08,680
You're going to Sung-gyo Temple?
527
00:48:08,700 --> 00:48:10,280
Yes.
528
00:48:11,790 --> 00:48:14,660
Your Majesty, it's fortunate that
529
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,950
he is going to your temple.
530
00:48:17,070 --> 00:48:19,790
You'll be able to visit him often.
531
00:48:22,460 --> 00:48:24,460
Yes, Your Majesty.
532
00:48:24,790 --> 00:48:31,320
It isn't far, so I will see you
when you come for worship.
533
00:48:31,340 --> 00:48:35,970
I am truly sorry.
534
00:48:37,140 --> 00:48:38,770
It's my fault.
535
00:48:39,020 --> 00:48:43,530
This is happening to you
because I'm powerless.
536
00:48:44,490 --> 00:48:47,520
I'm sorry, Sun.
537
00:48:48,690 --> 00:48:52,390
No, Your Majesty.
538
00:48:52,410 --> 00:48:56,870
I've always wanted to study Buddhism.
539
00:48:56,890 --> 00:49:03,210
I've learned a lot in the palace, and I'll learn
many more new things in the temple.
540
00:49:03,370 --> 00:49:09,420
And I will pray for your
health and happiness.
541
00:49:10,460 --> 00:49:18,430
Thank you.
Thank you, and I'm sorry.
542
00:49:29,370 --> 00:49:36,080
Your Highness, Prince Daeryangwon
has come to bid his final goodbye.
543
00:49:45,100 --> 00:49:50,260
I'm sorry.
Her Highness does not wish to see you.
544
00:49:53,470 --> 00:49:56,470
She bids you well.
545
00:50:00,570 --> 00:50:07,630
Your Highness, then I shall leave now.
I wish you good health.
546
00:50:17,770 --> 00:50:22,640
He's leaving for goodness sakes.
Does she have to be so cold?
547
00:50:22,660 --> 00:50:23,830
I know.
548
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:26,220
{\a6}[Kim Hoon] [Choi Ghi]
549
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,570
It wouldn't hurt to send him
off with a lighter heart.
550
00:50:28,590 --> 00:50:30,970
What do you expect from a woman who is
551
00:50:30,990 --> 00:50:32,810
dumping her own nephew?
552
00:50:29,170 --> 00:50:33,230
{\a6}[Yu Bang] [Yi Hyunoon]
553
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,690
Watch your mouth!
554
00:50:39,390 --> 00:50:41,690
We should be on our way.
555
00:51:26,260 --> 00:51:27,840
Is he gone?
556
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:29,960
Yes?
557
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,740
He performed a deep obeisance
at the door before he left.
558
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:43,440
Why didn't you see him
when you're feeling this way?
559
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,720
It's all right.
560
00:51:49,380 --> 00:51:54,850
From now on, I am a heartless,
tearless woman.
561
00:51:55,940 --> 00:51:58,720
That's the only way
I can protect this country.
562
00:52:03,710 --> 00:52:09,210
Hyang Bi, forget about the
palace once you are married.
563
00:52:11,270 --> 00:52:17,930
General Gang is a strong man on
the outside, but he is very lonely.
564
00:52:19,170 --> 00:52:24,690
Give him lots of love and make him happy.
565
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,020
In the 6th year of Mokjong's reign,
566
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,930
Prince Daeryangwon Wang Sun was sent
into the priesthood at Sung-gyo Temple.
567
00:52:46,950 --> 00:52:50,380
He was twelve years old.
568
00:52:51,430 --> 00:52:55,290
Buddhism was the national religion of Goryeo,
569
00:52:55,310 --> 00:52:59,040
and royal princes became
monks every so often.
570
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:05,740
It was in part a political move by
the Royal house to protect the chosen
571
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:12,270
successor from being challenged
by other royal princes.
572
00:53:13,300 --> 00:53:15,390
She failed?
573
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,810
Yes, Your Highness.
574
00:53:17,830 --> 00:53:20,190
The poison was administered, but it was unsuccessful,
575
00:53:20,290 --> 00:53:23,850
and Duyan has refused
to get further involved.
576
00:53:23,870 --> 00:53:28,660
She is refusing to obey my order?
577
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,390
Yes, Prime Minister.
578
00:53:29,350 --> 00:53:32,180
{\a6}[Yelu Dilie]
579
00:53:30,410 --> 00:53:34,560
This proves that she has indeed betrayed us.
580
00:53:36,250 --> 00:53:38,120
What do we do now?
581
00:53:39,470 --> 00:53:43,640
What does Jiemei suggest?
582
00:53:39,190 --> 00:53:42,850
{\a6}[Han Derang (Khitan Commissioner)]
583
00:53:43,980 --> 00:53:49,400
She is requesting twenty trained men
to wrap up the mission herself.
584
00:53:45,170 --> 00:53:48,030
{\a6}[Yelu Pennu]
585
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,840
I will go, Your Highness.
586
00:53:52,340 --> 00:53:55,730
{\a6}[Yelu Wuji]
587
00:53:53,860 --> 00:53:57,080
I have a score to settle with
Empress Dowager Cheonchu.
588
00:53:57,260 --> 00:54:01,350
I promise you I will bring back her head.
589
00:54:01,530 --> 00:54:03,390
No.
590
00:54:02,220 --> 00:54:05,980
{\a6}[Empress Dowager Xiao (Emperor Shengzhong's mother)]
591
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,860
You will be easily recognized,
592
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,890
and you still have a job to
do in our war with Song.
593
00:54:09,470 --> 00:54:11,660
How do you feel about this?
594
00:54:13,050 --> 00:54:18,920
She's talking about an assassination.
I'm not comfortable with it.
595
00:54:19,620 --> 00:54:28,030
Duyan would've left no trace, but if
this fails, there is too much at stake.
596
00:54:28,350 --> 00:54:31,410
Then we won't fail.
597
00:54:31,700 --> 00:54:34,820
I will send my personal guards
to do the job.
598
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,580
We must think this through, Your Majesty.
599
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:47,330
This could destroy our
alliance with Goryeo.
600
00:54:47,350 --> 00:54:52,920
That alliance is bound to break anyway!
601
00:54:53,270 --> 00:54:55,720
Mother, let me do this.
602
00:54:55,740 --> 00:54:59,350
Empress Dowager must be eliminated
before we fight the Song Chinese.
603
00:54:58,340 --> 00:55:01,800
{\a6}[Shengzhong (6th ruler of Khitan)]
604
00:54:59,370 --> 00:55:02,690
That's the only way
we will have peace of mind.
605
00:55:07,330 --> 00:55:10,870
Empress Dowager Cheonchu will
be traveling outside the palace?
606
00:55:11,860 --> 00:55:13,230
Yes.
607
00:55:13,750 --> 00:55:20,880
A wedding is scheduled to be held
at the Two Armies headquarters.
608
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,070
The soldiers and the guards
609
00:55:23,090 --> 00:55:25,160
will be drinking to celebrate,
610
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:28,860
{\a6}[Jo Du] [Jo Sun]
611
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:30,610
so go after the Empress Dowager
on her way back from the wedding.
612
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:36,410
She will still be heavily guarded.
Are you sure you are up to this?
613
00:55:37,270 --> 00:55:39,060
Don't worry.
614
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,710
Liao's most competent warriors
will be coming to help.
615
00:55:57,660 --> 00:56:01,310
What's wrong?
Is it indigestion?
616
00:56:02,470 --> 00:56:04,170
No, it's...
617
00:56:07,180 --> 00:56:08,520
Are you...?
618
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,040
You...
619
00:56:13,670 --> 00:56:15,660
You're pregnant!
620
00:56:21,430 --> 00:56:25,110
I don't believe it!
Since when?
621
00:56:26,950 --> 00:56:28,940
It's been a while.
622
00:56:29,180 --> 00:56:30,810
How long?
623
00:56:32,630 --> 00:56:36,420
Since about the time we learned about
the Empress Dowager's pregnancy.
624
00:56:37,910 --> 00:56:40,220
Why didn't you tell me?
625
00:56:41,230 --> 00:56:46,670
What's the use?
I could die anytime.
626
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:51,630
Sa Gamun, are you in?
627
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:53,780
Yes, My Lord.
628
00:56:54,100 --> 00:56:55,840
I need to see you for a moment.
629
00:56:56,790 --> 00:56:58,800
I'll be right out, sir.
630
00:57:00,830 --> 00:57:04,220
Stay here.
I'll be right back.
631
00:57:16,330 --> 00:57:18,760
On General Gang's wedding day?
632
00:57:18,780 --> 00:57:20,110
Yes.
633
00:57:20,710 --> 00:57:27,190
Go to Sung-gyo Temple and
take care of Prince Daeryang.
634
00:57:28,150 --> 00:57:31,090
But why that day?
635
00:57:31,370 --> 00:57:36,740
He may be a monk but
he is still a royal prince.
636
00:57:37,310 --> 00:57:41,180
I'm sure arrangements have
been made by Gang Gamchan or
637
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,880
another to safeguard his life.
638
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:54,340
But there will be a celebration that day, so
it'll be easier to get through the security.
639
00:57:54,970 --> 00:57:57,920
I understand, sir.
640
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:06,880
And I want you to take a subordinate
whose face is not known to kill the child.
641
00:58:07,350 --> 00:58:13,450
There is no room for another mistake.
Do you understand?
642
00:58:13,620 --> 00:58:16,960
I won't let you down, sir.
643
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,390
You brought who?
644
00:58:26,020 --> 00:58:28,960
We spoke about this before,
645
00:58:29,150 --> 00:58:34,670
that we need a woman of matchless
beauty to bring the Emperor to our side.
646
00:58:36,340 --> 00:58:37,540
And?
647
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,090
Come in.
648
00:59:04,420 --> 00:59:09,670
Bow.
This is the former King's dowager.
649
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,980
My name is Milhwa.
650
00:59:19,820 --> 00:59:28,130
What do you think?
How can any man resist?
651

Your Majesty, be careful!

Let go!

This feels great!

Everyone jump in!
Let us play in the water!
659

Your Majesty, please come out of there.
You will catch a cold!

You will be the Emperor's woman.
