This is to clarify that "Prince Jing" and "Princess Ho Myung's"

upbringings were dramatized for the series.

What's all the fuss?

Your Highness...

Your Highness... Your Highness... Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Lady Gui In! Lady Gui In!

Episode 49

You worthless man!

You should have killed the King rather than having him get taken away!

Worthless!

My Lady!

- Your Highness...Your Highness... - Lady Gui In!

Let go! I will bring back the King!

It is not safe for you to go there!

Bring in Kim Ja Jeom immediately

as well as everyone working with him.

Yes Your Highness.

And you tell every member of the council to come to the palace

and rescind Jo Gui In's royal concubine status.

Yes Your Highness.

Is His Highness at Suh Woon Dohl?

Yes, my Lady.

They took His Highness to Suh Woon Dohl?

Yes... my Lady.

Where do you think you're going?

Are you off to update Kim Ja Jeom with the news?

Once you enter the palace, you should dedicate yourself entirely to the palace.

Advisor Kim!

Take her away.

His Highness was like a god to me!

And His Highness will repay you for your dedication in the afterlife.

How dare a eunuch--

Take her away!

Court Lady Kim!

Your Highness! Where are you Your Highness?

I am the only one that can protect you Your Highness!

The palace is filled with people that resent you!

What are you doing in there Your Highness?

Your Highness! Have you forgotten what you said to me?

You said that when you leave this world you'd take me with you.

So I must remain by your side in order to go with you!

Let go of me! I will walk there myself!

I said let go of me!

Lady Gui In!

I'm so dizzy I can't stand up...

Find out what happened to Kim Ja Jeom.

Since Court Lady Kim is being taken away, something bad is about to happen.

Yes Lady Gui In.

Bring me Prince Jing!

If His Highness dies, Prince Jing and I will die right here!

Yes Lady Gui In!

Bring Princess Hyo Myung as well.

What use would it be to leave her behind?

It's better we all die together!

Your Highness! Why aren't you saying anything? Your Highness!

Fool!

Give me back the King immediately!

His Highness cannot live a single day without me.

Why are you getting so close?

Don't you dare lay a single finger on me!

I will bite my tongue and die on the spot here!

Who is Prince Jing's father?

Your mom already died an unfortunate death

so the only other person who knows the secret is you.

How dare you!

How dare you talk to me like that!

That's right...

Court Lady Kim is also very familiar with the details...

I'm sure she will speak when she is under pressure.

- Lock Jo Gui In in the North Palace. - Yes, sir!

What do you mean who is Prince Jing's father?

Fool! You are determined to make the King look bad aren't you!

Your Highness! Did you hear that?

That man is looking for trouble Your Highness!

Let go of me you fools!

Let me out.

Why are you looking away?

You must be quite satisfied.

Seeing my like this.

Do you feel better now?

Will slapping my face be enough?

You might as well tie me up and torture me!

I slapped you on behalf of Princess Min Hwe.

I will save what I owe and make it up to you later

so wait until then.

Do you think I will die like this?

I will pay you back while I'm alive and even after I'm dead.

What's the use of you being Queen?

You don't have any kids!

So what's the use of you becoming Queen Mother?

Your Highness! If Prince Bong Rim rises to the throne

do you think you will be able to rest in peace?

Prince Bong Rim is a man colder than a snake!

Your Highness!

Let go of me!

The King is a man who killed his own son!

He killed his grandson and daughter-in-law!

Do you think anyone will protect the King if not Prince Jing?

Let go of me! Do you not know who I am?

When the King wakes up and finds out about this you will all be in trouble!

Let go of me!

Your Highness! Your Highness!

How dare you!

How dare you touch me! Do you know who I am?

What are you all doing? Take her clothes off now!

- Board up every corner of the room! - Yes sir!

Your Highness! Please save me!

Your Highness! Please save me Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Hear ye! Hear ye!

Who is it?

I am here from the palace to escort the Prime Minister!

Please hold on.

Lord Kim! They are men here to escort you to the palace!

You should find out what it's about before going to the palace.

The King's condition must be serious.

I made a promise with Jo Gui In.

That I will be the witness to the King's final words.

I have been having unsettling dreams for the past few nights.

You worry too much.

The King is bed-ridden and unconscious.

Who would dare stand in my way?

My wife...

In a few days, you dreams will take place inside the palace.

What do you mean?

Sweet dreams. I'll be back.

Is His Highness's condition serious?

Oh no...

Has he passed away already?

How dare you! What do you think you're doing?

Take him away!

Fools! Let go of me!

What is all this?

Let go of me! Let go!

What do you think you're doing?

Mother! Mother! Mother!

- My son! My son! - Mother!

Let go of me! Let go of me! Let go!

Your Highness

Are you feeling better now?

Where is the Prince?

He found out that Kim Ja Jeom was planning a revolt

so he is bringing in all the men involved.

I don't see Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung...

- Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung-- - Would you like me to call for them?

Jo Gui In told the doctor to give you a shot with a poisoned needle

they barely got you away and brought you here.

Go and bring Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung.

Call Jo Gui In here while you're at it.

Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung have done nothing wrong.

Prince Jing may not be the King's--

Your Highness!

I've sent someone to bring Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung Your Highness.

I must take with me...

That way... when I die... and I see So Hyun and my daughter-in-law

I can ask them for their forgiveness.

Your Highness!

Jo Gui In is a part of my existence.

Jo Gui In is another part of me that I created.

Prime Minister!

Crying like a little girl!

If a man failed while planning a great work

you must accept that as your fate.

They will not save you just because you cry like a little girl.

Please save me...

I just could not bear poverty anymore

and so joined the group!

That's enough!

- Start with him! - Yes!

Sir! I have something to say--

Prime Minister!

Lady Gui In!

Lady Gui In!

Did you find out?

I asked you what happened to Lord Kim!

They found out about the revolt so he was taken to Eui Geum Bu...

Lady Gui In!

Lady Gui In! Are you okay my Lady?

Uhn Yuhn...

Yes, my Lady.

Go and bring me some food.

I need to eat something and get myself together.

And find me poison on your way back as well.

Excuse me?

If all else fails

and if there is absolutely no other option for me, then--

I will have to take my own life.

That way that bitch explodes with anger.

Who are you talking about?

Who else?

The Queen of course.

She wants to lock me up here and get payback

but if she sees me laying here dead already

then she will explode with anger.

Your Highness... Are you really going to let me die like this?

- Your Highness! - Lady Gui In!

I... I was a crazy fool...

Mother...

If I ran away with Hyuk back then...

I wouldn't be here like this...

Tell me.

Will he be able to sit up on his own again?

I'm sorry but...

It does not seem likely that he will live to see tomorrow...

Is that so?

There is no way I can save him Your Highness...

Your Highness...

Have you been here alone the entire time?

Her Highness was here all day with me

and just went back to Kyung Duk Palace.

She went back to Kyung Duk Palace?

I think she is upset about something.

His Highness asked for Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung.

What about my brother?

He escorted Her Highness back to Kyung Duk Palace.

How can he ask for Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung?

His Highness but be having one last crazy fit before he dies!

Prince Jing is not the King's child!

Announce my arrival.

Now!

Your Highness! Prince Bong Rim is here.

Your Highness!

I cannot stand to see Jo Gui In live even a second longer!

Kill Jo Gui In and Prince Jing immediately!

I'm telling you to kill those two before the King dies!

To put it into perspective, I want to kill Jo Gui In more than you!

But what?

For as long as the King is alive, I cannot!

She looked after the King for years and even gave birth to his children.

So how can I kill her without the King's permission?

I told you Prince Jing is not the King's blood!

Do not do anything to make father look bad.

I cannot listen to it anymore!

Do you think you will be able to become King without my permission?

I am the Queen.

If the King dies, then I will be in charge!

You should remember that!

Anyone...

That tries to make the King look bad

will not be forgiven!

He may have had to endure the humiliation of kneeling to the Chinese

but do not forget he was a leader to tens of thousands in our nation.

Raise your head.

Who is Prince Jing's father?

You of all people owe your life to the King!

You must at least repay him before you die!

If Prince Jing is someone else's son

then it has to be your doing.

Do you truly want your brother's blood on your hands before rising to the throne?

You are facing death and yet you still lie?

I already know everything!

Prince Jing!

is the King's child! Who else would be his father?

Your Highness!

Please kill me now!

That way I can go first and prepare to greet you when you arrive.

Isn't that so Prince Bong Rim?

Yes! Please kill me first Your Highness!

Mother!

- Mother! - Hyo Myung!

Mother...

Mother...

Mother!

Yes! It's me! I'm right here!

Yes... did you come because you missed me?

Let me look at you my child.

Let me see...

You must have come because you missed me.

My love.

It's you, isn't it?

I'm glad you came.

I really wanted to see you before I died.

This child!

You have to take this child with you.

I was going to ask you to take care of Hyo Myung anyways.

Once I die, who will take care of this child?

She's not even the King's child...

I'll be fortunate if I don't have to drink poison.

Hyuk, please let me out of here.

The three of us can run away and live together.

I... I told you didn't I?

I only thought of you while in the arms of the old King.

I wasn't really even living at all.

So many times... so many times I thought of dying.

But...I couldn't die and leave your child in this palace all alone.

Even if I shuddered with disgust while in the arms of the old King...

Are you still listening?

Please save me.

I want to live a real life with you even if just for one day...

Hyuk!

Hyuk...

You don't have any intentions of saving me...

Then why did you bring our daughter here?

If you mean for me to repent all my wrongdoings before I die

then you really do not know who I am at all!

I want to throw up at just the thought of a scrap of nobles like you!

What makes you any different than the King?

Do you even see me as a person?

You heartless man...

Mother...

Would you like to just leave like this?

This is your last chance...

For the three of you to run away together.

Why are you keeping Yam Jun alive?

The King lived 10 years more than he would have thanks to Jo Gui In.

After Queen In Hyul died

Jo Gui In is the only other woman the King ever loved.

I will come back...

To get Princess Hyo Myung.

You are the only person who'll care about Jo Gui In's body once she dies.

You... go to the main palace right now

and stay by your father's side. Then when he opens his eyes

beg him to save my life.

Tell him that you cannot live without me!

His Highness cares deeply about you so I'm sure he'll listen to you.

Do you understand?

I'm telling you to beg and cry for him to save me.

Do you understand?

Prince Bong Rim has arrived!

Everyone leave the room.

Who is Prince Jing's father?

Tell me the truth!

Were you so curious you came here to ask me, Your Highness?

Prince Jing is without a doubt the King's blood.

I know that you an Jo Gui In came up with a plan

and switched the girl Jo Gui In had with a boy from another family.

We did make such plans.

However, Jo Gui In gave birth to a boy so we did not go through with it.

They why are such rumors being spread throughout the palace?

It is Lord Kim's doing.

Are you saying it was all Kim Ja Jeom's doing?

It was the only way to have control over Jo Gui In.

We had to say that Prince Jing is not the King's son

so that Jo Gui In would be like an animal stuck in a trap

and unable to escape Lord Kim's control.

Who knows about all this?

Kim Ja Jeom...the acupuncturist Lee Hyung Ik...

and I were the only ones.

If this turns out to be false even after you die

I will dig you up from your grave!

Why would I lie when I'm about to die anyways?

I leave with the regret of not being able to be buried here at the palace.

Death is only appropriate for what I've done...

But Your Highness!

Please bury me with all the other court servants.

Remembering the years I've served the King...

Who is crying out loud?

Bury Court Lady Kim in the graveyard with the other court servants.

My lady!

Kim Ja Jeom and his son Kim Shi

and all the other men involved in the revolt have been brought in.

We are so embarrassed we do not know what to do with ourselves.

What is the King's wish?

After advancing into the north

it is to get revenge on China!

So until we get back what the King lost at Sam Jeondo

we cannot say we've restored peace in this nation!

We will get revenge on China, the very country

that walked all over us, humiliated us

and gave our country nothing less than a loss of identity and pride.

Yes, Your Highness!

Could the King have died?

Your Highness! Your Highness!

- How is he doing? - He is having difficulty breathing.

Father! It is I, Bong Rim.

Father!

You Highness.

Please get up now and head over to the main palace.

Even if you are upset, you must be by his side during his final moments.

The Prince is trying to save Jo Gui In!

How could that be?

If he has no intentions of saving her

then he should have had her drink poison by now.

But instead he's goes to Court Lady Kim and Kim Ja Jeom for a way to save her!

Nonetheless!

If you are not by the King's side when he goes--

I am the Queen!

If the King dies, I will act in his place until the next King is made official.

The Prince cannot inherit the throne without my permission!

Go get Kim Sang Hun and Song Joon Geun!

Yes Your Highness!

Father! Please breathe!

Father!

Have you sent someone to Kyung Duk Palace?

Yes Your Highness.

Hurry and have someone bring the Queen here!

I will go myself.

In...

Yes father.

Are you asking for Advisor Kim?

Where is he?

In...

Help me sit up In...

Your Highness...

Are you okay Your Highness?

Nothing...

I can't see anything...

Your Highness...

I... I... do not deserve to die laying down.

Father!

Who is here by me?

Everyone answer me.

I am here father.

I am Yun's mother, Your Highness.

What about Jing?

Are Prince Jing and Princess Hyo Myung not here?

Please hurry and answer him.

Father!

Closer... come closer.

Take his hand.

Bong Rim.

Yes, father.

You may hate the crime

but do not hate the person.

Father...

Watch over Prince Jing as though he's your actual younger brother.

Yes, father.

I...

Killed too many people.

Bong Rim...

Jo Gui In...

Yam Jun...

Save her...

Yes... Father...

There has been too much... blood shed...

So Hyun...

Yes... it is you...

My daughter-in-law.

Yes, yes... How could I not recognize my grandson?

Suk Chul...

You... resented me a lot didn't you?

Your Highness!

In...

Why is it so dark?

It's so dark!

So Hyun my son!

Slow down!

That way I can follow you.

Yes... Yes...

Suk Chul is now... a very mature...

Young man...

Min Hwe... you... did an absolutely...

Great job raising him!

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

- Father! - Your Highness!

The King has died! The King has died! The King has died!

27 years after Gwang Hae was pushed out of the throne and Injo became King

Injo passed away.

Injo loved loved only one woman his entire life.

He gained four sons from his first wife, Queen In Hyul.

He did not have a concubine he really liked

and so he and Jo Gui In's child, Princess Hyu Myung, was his only daughter.

Jo Gui In was the only woman he was close to other than Queen In Hyul.

While there have always been rumors about Prince Jing

there is a high probability they were started to hurt Jo Gui In's credibility.

He rose to the throne through a revolt

and a man who surrendered to China in the most humiliating manner.

Injo, the King, who has yet to rid his name in link to

the killing of his son, daughter-in-law and grandson.

Was an ill-fated King who lived a life of misery and unhappiness.

Such an impatient man...

You waited just a day to come and kill me?

Thanks to you I was able to say goodbye to my daughter.

While you're being so generous, bring me Prince Jing.

There is an order for you to move and live quietly during the royal funeral.

What do you mean royal funeral?

Then--Are you saying His Highness has passed away?

If the King's health was so serious then you should have told me!

Your Highness... How can you leave me all alone...

Do not even think of taking one step outside your room.

Are you speaking down to me now that His Highness has passed?

It has been a long time since your royal concubine status was rescinded.

What do you mean?

Are you implying that the bitch at Kyung Duk Palace is now Queen Mother?

Now I get it!

She thinks she saved my life?

I get it. I'm sure it was a shame to just kill me.

She didn’t even give the King any children! So how dare she become Queen Mother!

Does she think I will kneel down before her because she saved me?

Absolutely not!

You can tell her that starting today, I will wish all things bad on her!

So if she wants to live a long life

she will have to kill me sooner than later to avoid death!

My Lady, how can you be so bitter when she says she will save you?

She's just saying that.

She's not going to save me.

- My Lady! - I wouldn't save myself if I were her.

Just as a cat contemplates a long time before killing a mouse

she most likely wants to do the same to me.

Who in this world could possibly want to die?

Now...now that the King is no longer a part of this world

Who... Who can I hold on to and live the rest of my life?

Your Highness...

You could have at least found a way for me to live on without you!

Your Highness

Please let down your anger and greet the Prince.

Your Highness!

The seat of the heir is one that must be filled sooner than later!

What is there to ask me?

Since the King has died, the Crown Prince can rise to the throne.

You must make the formal announcement in order

for Prince Bong Rim to take the throne.

Go back all of you!

I did not even witness the King's death.

How can such a person deserve to give direction on political matters?

- We still have not received permission? - Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness, the Queen Mother is upset that--

Are you asking us to accommodate to her already?

There is no reason for us to keep Jo Giu In alive!

That is also not something for her to get involved in.

Jo Gui In has inflicted much pain over the years!

It was my father's wish!

He left a request asking us not to kill Jo Gui In.

Your Highness.

After first giving the order for Prince Bong Rim to take the throne---

The Prince is trying to save Jo Gui In!

I cannot stand to see that!

What power does Jo Gui In have?

If you just so wish, at any time you may--

I feel bad for you father.

Do you really believe the Prince is keeping

her alive because of the King's last words?

He is trying to make me as useful as a scarecrow!

You should not get involved in this.

The Queen Mother almost died numerous times because of Jo Gui In.

- So-- - I told you not to get involved!

If Jo Gui In dies, there is no way to prove my father's innocence.

So... I cannot kill Jo Gui In.

The Prince said that?

That even if he doesn't become King he cannot grant the Queen Mother's wish?

Yes, Lady Gui In.

Are you sure he said that?

The King asked him not to kill you before he died.

Okay! His Highness saved me before he died...

- Uhn Yuhn. - Yes, my Lady.

You go and get everything I tell you.

What would you like?

Dig up an old grave and bring me back a piece of rotting cloth.

Excuse me?

And also kill a young cat and white chicken,

dry them in the sun and bring them to me.

As well as the bark of a tree struck by lightning and a child's clothing.

What are you going to do with all that?

Let's see if they live even after all my hexes...

Are you telling me to bury them all by the Queen Mother's quarters?

What do you mean?

What use is it killing a widow?

We have to kill Prince Bong Rim.

That way Prince Jing, my son, will become King!

I never forgave you!

How can I dare ask you to forgive me?

Do you think I don't know what's going on in that head of yours?

Please help him to die a painful death!

Jo Gui In was not trying to have me killed.

It was you.

Anything! Anything but please do not torture me.

You wretched girl! You shall be punished a thousand times over!

Must my children see such a thing?

It is not enough to have her joints dismantled.

Fine! You only live once! I've lived a great life!
