[ Queen: Love and War ]

I feel like I am dreaming right now.

Being under the sun with you

makes me forget about my power as the king,

duty, revenge,

and everything.

As long as I have you.

I feel the same way.

They say the reason His Majesty is keeping you close lately

is because...

your daughter is actually the dead queen.

Consort Hong.

Is she really your daughter?

I do not think I need to answer that.

What?

I said I have no reason to answer your question.

Is that all you had to say?

Think carefully.

I do not know what kind of promotion His Majesty promised you,

but depending on what you tell me,

I could give you something a lot greater than that!

His Majesty would never make a promise like that.

And even if he did,

I would have refused.

Because I do not use my child

to become successful like some people.

What?

What do you mean, "some people?"

Who are you talking about?

You will definitely regret

this very moment.

I will get going if you are done speaking to me.

This...

This bastard!

How arrogant...

Your Majesty.

You must rest more.

You still look a bit pale.

I said I am fine.

Let us walk a bit longer.

If so...

we can walk toward your bedchamber.

I will walk you there.

What?

Fine.

Walk me there then.

We are here, Your Majesty.

Please go inside and rest now.

This time, I will walk you to your chamber.

Pardon?

I was supposed to walk you here.

If so...

you can walk me back here again.

Do you want to keep walking back and forth?

We will end up spending all day doing that.

That sounds good too.

I did not know you were together.

What did you want to see me for so early in the morning?

I would like to talk to you privately.

What did you just say?

Kim Man Chan is spying on Consort Hong?

Yes.

Since he even approached me,

he probably already tried many different things already.

Since the Queen's Palace is empty,

he must be anxious that Consort Hong might take over.

I think so as well.

Your Majesty.

Perhaps you should stop His Excellency Kim Man Chan.

He might try to threaten Consort Hong.

I am worried.

By "the truth,"

you mean the fact that she's the dead queen?

No.

She's not the dead queen.

She's her twin sister.

If this truth is revealed, neither Consort Hong nor the royals

will be left unharmed.

Is...

Is Consort Hong really her twin?

Twin sister...

How did you learn about that then?

The one who placed her in the selection

is me.

Does that give you enough reason to work with me?

Chief Eunuch Hwang, are you out there?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Did you summon me?

Tell the ministers and chancellors to gather in the Royal Council Hall.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I would like to talk to you privately.

Could there be something going on again?

He shouldn't be work too hard yet.

You would like to make medicine for His Majesty yourself?

I have never done it before.

I need you to help me.

What kind of ingredients should I use?

Lately, I've been mainly using Siberian ginseng

and geonchil in his medicines lately.

Could you prepare those ingredients for me?

I am...

not planning to accept a new queen for a while.

Your Majesty.

That position is for Your Majesty's wife,

but it ultimately is for the mother of the people of this country.

Yes.

Leaving such a position empty

will be unimaginable.

It means that I will not hurry.

The royal wedding caused an unfortunate event

and I still have not caught those traitors yet.

I cannot accept another queen in this situation.

Making people feel safe by

arresting the traitors will be my priority.

I feel the same way, Your Majesty.

You must arrest the traitors as soon as possible

and strengthen law and order of the country.

Since I have expressed my opinion,

I want you to try your best to arrest the traitors.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Hyungnim.

This is completely different from what we expected.

He wants to leave the Queen's Palace empty?

We thought he'd give the position to Consort Hong right away.

Since he's coming out this way,

we can no longer dig more information on Consort Hong either.

What should we do?

I'm sure he's hiding something.

What? What do you mean, hiding?

I...

still cannot believe it.

Since His Majesty was resurrected,

I thought the same thing happened to her as well.

Why couldn't we think that she could be her twin?

The country banned twins from being born a long time ago.

That's why we didn't think twins would exist.

Twins were banned?

You will find out soon as well.

Because of that prophecy,

the whole country...

will turn upside down soon.

I'm back, sir.

Did you have a look at the headquarters?

Yes. Thankfully, it was still the same.

It seems like they haven't found it yet.

Good work.

Get ready to move there with Jo Heung Gyeon and his daughter.

I have something I need to do tonight.

Yes.

Is this how you do it?

Yes, My Lady.

You just need to keep cooking for about two hours.

By the way, My Lady...

Why don't you let the royal female physicians take over?

Yes, My Lady.

You don't have to do that yourself.

That's for the royal female physicians.

I want to make it with my own hands.

Just let me.

His Majesty called the ministers

and said he will leave the Queen's Palace

empty for a while.

What?

Why did he have to say that to the ministers?

When I mentioned the reinstatement last time,

neither King nor Consort Hong

seem so happy to hear it.

I wonder what they are afraid of.

I heard he said it is his priority to

catch the traitors right now.

Perhaps that is why.

Do you think that is all?

That is the list of the royal servants who work in the detached palace.

You said none of these people were

willing to testify regarding Kang Yi Soo, correct?

Yes.

At least one person needs to testify

in order to clear his name.

I will ask around again, Your Majesty.

Fix your posture.

My Lady!

You're here.

I will let His Majesty know.

No.

I do not want to bother him. Just deliver this medicine to him.

It supposedly restores one's energy.

If so, I will walk you to your chamber.

My Lady, please do not do that.

Please give His Majesty a visit.

I keep telling him that he needs to take it easy,

but he just will not listen.

She wants to go. Why do you keep...

You should be quiet.

Please forgive me, My Lady.

Your Majesty.

Consort Hong is here.

Let her in.

Geez...

I wanted to go outside with her and get some fresh air.

How could you tell me not to...

Fine.

Let's leave them alone and get some fresh air with me.

Let go of me!

- Let's go... - Let go!

I said I am all right.

But now that I took my medicine

and got to see your face, I feel a lot better.

I will bring you more medicine in the evening.

Chief Eunuch Hwang told you to take a rest.

Why would you not listen?

Chief Eunuch Hwang became such a tattletale.

Everything is all right, is it not?

It seemed like

His Excellency Hong Ki Ho had an urgent matter to discuss.

The Kim family apparently

approached Hong Ki Ho to find out about your true identity.

Is His Excellency Hong Ki Ho all right?

Do not worry. He will be all right.

I ordered Han Mo to

reinvestigate the royal servants in the detached palace.

It will not be easy,

but I will prove your father's innocence no matter what.

You should be careful until then.

Do you understand?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Where are we moving to?

I heard they have a hiding place around Samgak Mountain.

He thinks it'd be better since it's

inside the mountain and there's an escape path too.

He will join us there when he's done with his outing.

You will have to walk for a while.

Would you be all right?

Do not worry.

Let's go.

My Lady.

My Lady!

Hey, hey, hey!

It's burning, it's burning!

Hot!

Geez...

- Ow! - Are you all right?

What are you thinking about anyway?

Well...

What are you doing here by the way?

I'm here to run an errand for His Majesty.

Step aside for a moment.

Pardon?

Yes, My Lady.

What do you mean, an errand?

I was lying.

It felt too stuffy inside.

I got His Majesty's approval to visit you.

By the way,

is something wrong?

You even burnt the medicine for His Majesty.

I feel like...

I'm pressuring His Majesty too much.

The Kim family framed my father

and it will not be easy to prove that.

Do you want me to do something about it?

- Do something about it? - My Lady.

I'm the owner of Buyong Agency.

I'm Wal, who tracked down Gae Pyeong too.

Just ask His Majesty to let me step outside.

This is all burnt. See?

You came back late, sir.

Yes.

Why?

Do you have something to tell me?

The thing is...

His Excellency Kwon Ik Soo, who left for this hometown

keeps sending letters.

What should I do?

Geez, Kwon Ik Soo...

Father is dealing with a lot of things lately.

You'd better not make him upset.

Go ahead and just burn them all.

I'll be right back.

Yes, sir.

I heard you know where Wal went to.

Where did he go to?

He went to the watering hole.

- The watering hole? - Yes.

He used to go there often to collect information.

So Rang!

My goodness! You came, sir.

Yes, yes, yes. How was your day?

- I was waiting for you. - Aigoo!

Isn't this the inspector general?

Who are you?

Right!

Aren't you the fidgety officer?

Yes. I'm that fidgety officer.

You still remember me.

It's such an honor, sir.

I wouldn't say "an honor."

- Have fun then. - Aigoo, sir.

What are the odds we ran into each other?

Why don't we drink together again?

- With you? - Of course! Let me treat you.

Go get five or six bottles of the ginseng drink...

Get something a lot nicer than the ginseng drink.

Let's go. Come on, let's go!

My goodness...

Gosh. Poor me.

Now I have to see those two losers in one room.

Who are you?

If I take these, what do I need to do for you?

You need to spread a rumor in Hanyang.

Can you do it?

A rumor?

That's easy.

Two days will be enough.

By the way,

what's the rumor you want me to spread?

It's cold.

Where's So Rang?

Why is So Rang not coming in?

She will come when she can.

By the way, sir, you remember His Excellency Kang Yi Soo?

- Kwon Ik Soo? - No. Kang Yi Soo.

Yes, Kwon Ik Soo!

Geez...

Why do I keep hearing that name today?

It's ruining my appetite.

He doesn't even understand what I'm saying.

Aigoo.

I'm getting pissed off thinking about it.

If he was sent back home,

he should stay quiet.

How dare he keeps sending letters?

How dare he asks me to take care of his family?

Pardon? Who did?

I'm talking about Kwon Ik Soo!

Kwon Ik Soo!

This is why you cannot mingle with the ones

outside of the Kim family.

By the way...

You.

What's your last name?

I'm...

Not only do I not know my last name,

I don't even know my real name.

Kwon Ik Soo?

That sounds very familiar.

Kwon Ik Soo is...

the one who was sent back home

for murdering the palace lady.

He took full responsibility for it, as I remember.

The Kim family must have promised him something.

They probably said

they would take care of his family.

Right.

I heard something similar from the son of the Kim family too.

He said something about his family.

He said Kwon Ik Soo is bothering him by keep sending letteres.

Kwon Ik Soo..

must know everything about the family's corruption.

Do you think they are treating him that way because they think he will not

be able to betray them?

I will give you the royal badge and a hand written letter.

Could you meet with Kwon Ik Soo yourself?

Me?

As long as you can persuade him and get him to testify,

we can punish the Kim family.

But would he testify so easily?

On your way there,

find out how Kwon Ik Soo's family is doing.

Me?

Aigoo...

I shouldn't have butt in.

Now I have to do all this work.

Seriously...

- It's a good horse, right? - Yes, sir.

Aigoo...

Aigoo, seriously.

Why is he so enormous anyway?

Aigoo.

Aigoo...

Let's go.

Are you worried about Wal?

Not at all.

He is probably excited now thinking he is on vacation.

He found the palace to be stuffy.

Since he is a vagabond by nature,

he cannot be strapped down in one place.

He disappears all the time.

But...

he always comes back safely.

He always does whenever I need help.

I talked too much, did I not?

Not at all.

Are you upset?

Why would I be?

I am just feeling jealous.

Just ignore it.

Pardon?

Wal is just a friend. He is like my brother.

Do you really feel jealous?

Even you?

Why?

Do you find me silly because I am the King?

Not at all.

- It is not like that... - You said it's not...

This is not good.

I cannot look silly anymore.

Stop worrying about Wal from now on.

It is an order.

Like you said,

Wal will surely come back.

Yes, Your Majesty.

How much is this?

Do you want one?

Aigoo, you picked a nice one.

Just give me two nyang.

Aigoo, why is it so expensive?

Right.

By the way, have you guys heard that rumor?

- Rumor? - What rumor?

You know His Majesty's concubine?

I mean the Royal Noble Consort Hong.

I heard she's actually...

the dead queen's twin sister.

What? No way. A twin?

I guess you guys didn't know.

I thought you already knew. Gosh...

I'm such a big mouth.

Aigoo...

Did you just hear that?

The dead queen and Consort Hong

are twins!

Aigoo, is that really true?

What? Her twin sister?

Is that true?

Then, did he really let both of the twins inside the palace? How vulgar.

Aigoo, how blasphemous.

By the way,

how could there still be twins after that prophecy?

That's what I'm talking about.

Don't you think?

- What... - Geez...

What do we do?

You should have one too.

Here.

Sir.

Do you want to hear

an interesting story I heard from the market?

An interesting story?

Father!

Father!

My goodness...

Aigoo...

She's her twin.

Her twin...

Aigoo, you wreak of alcohol.

Did you swim in alcohol again?

She's her twin!

What did this twin do anyway?

That's not what I'm saying.

Consort Hong is...

the dead queen's twin sister!

How dare you talk drunkenly?

There's a rumor about Consort Hong in the market right now!

Consort Hong and the dead queen...

are twin sisters

who look just like each other!

Where did you hear such a ridiculous rumor?

Stop talking nonsense!

Hold on.

What is it, Hyungnim?

Her twin?

Yes.

Her twin.

Yes!

I didn't know there was a place like this in the mountain.

It has some household goods too.

It doesn't look that bad.

It still won't be so comfortable, will it?

Everything is the same to me

unless it's the Queen's Palace.

You must be tired from walking. You should rest.

I will heat up some bath water.

By the way...

where's Father?

How did your outing go?

The rumor must be spreading everywhere in the market already.

That's all we needed to do.

You mean you'll let Kim Man Chan pressure

the royals with the rumor?

What in the world...

are you talking about right now?

There is a rumor that Consort Hong is the dead queen's twin?

I heard that's what the people

are talking right now.

If that's a false rumor,

you must find all the people who are spreading the awful rumor

and punish them severely.

But...

before that, I think

you need to get to the bottom of

this rumor first.

There have been a lot of rumors

about Consort Hong so far.

Stopping the rumor from spreading

cannot be the best solution.

Your Majesty.

Please order us to

find out the truth.

Your dear citizens are

trembling in fear right now.

Why would they not?

They must be very afraid that

the prophecy from 20 years ago might come true.

Did you say, "the prophecy?"

Did you not know?

"Eulminyeon...

Bangassangchul Hangyeokse."

There was a prophecy like that before you became the king.

Who did you say

is a twin?

I told you earlier.

I said that face brings bad fortune.

That woman finally caused trouble.

I asked you who is a twin just now.

There is a rumor that Consort Hong is the dead queen's twin, Your Highness.

I was in shock when I heard that from my uncle too.

Bring the record of

the prophecy from 20 years ago right now.

By "the prophecy..."

Which one are you referring to?

The one regarding twins.

Bring me all the records related to that!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

What brings you all the way here?

Is it true?

Pardon?

Is it true that you are the dead queen's twin sister?

How did you know that, Your Highness...

Your Highness, are you all right?

Your Highness!

From now on,

you will have to answer every single question I ask you.

Does King know about this already or...

did you and the priestess plan this together

to deceive and mock the royal family?

Forgive me.

Forgive me, Your Highness!

I asked you if the King knows it too!

He does.

But because of me, His Majesty...

It's all because of me!

What kind of ill-fated relationship do we have with your family?

You and your sister should have died 20 years ago.

But you ended up ruining the King and disturbing the royals.

That prophecy ended up

becoming a curse.

The prophecy?

A curse?

What do you mean by that?

Your family has sinned by deceiving the royals.

I hope you are ready to pay for it.

My Lady!

Are you all right?

I need to see His Excellency Hong Ki Ho.

Your Majesty.

Do you know anything about this

prophecy about twins as well>

I have heard about the prophecy before.

But why...

Tell me

everything you know about it.

The thing is,

20 year ago,

there was a prophecy from the Royal Shaman Temple.

A prophecy from the Royal Shaman Temple?

Yes.

It said the world will change because of the aristocrat-born

twins that were born in 1895.

So...

giving birth to twins in aristocrat families

was banned for a while and...

No, no!

Stop!

Give us our children back!

No!

No, you bastards!

No!

You will burn in hell!

Even the twins who were already born

were killed as soon as they got caught.

I once heard from His Excellency Baek Ja Yong

that His Excellency Kang Yi Soo

tried his best to

hide his daughters away from the harsh regulation.

They killed...

all the twins?

Yes, Your Majesty.

There was a

report like that at the time,

but I don't think the could've killed all of them.

No matter how strict they were,

there's no way to know what's going on in every family.

I'm sure there were families who raised their children in secret.

How could they have let their children die?

Since we could not reveal that we were twins,

we had to stay inside the house since we were young.

Kang Yi Soo must have

done that as well.

That is why they raised the sisters in secret.

Pardon?

Consort Hong is...

the dead queen's twin sister.

Your Majesty.

What do you mean by that?

My goodness...

Be careful, be careful, be careful!

One, two!

Aigoo.

I said we should stay inside!

Why would you want to be among all these men, Your Highness?

One!

Stop addressing me that way.

Pardon?

I am no longer the Queen.

But still...

I have something...

I want to ask you.

Go ahead.

His Majesty won't be able to do anything to Consort Hong.

All he'd do is to kick her out of the palace.

You're probably not planning to just sit and watch

Consort Hong being punished so lightly?

You said you placed her in the selection yourself.

If so...

that means she betrayed you.

Don't you feel betrayed?

Betrayed?

I...

want that woman to

go to hell like me.

What are you

planning to do with her?

It said the world will change because of the aristocrat-born

twins that were born in 1895.

My Lady.

Consort Kim is here.

The Queen Mother told me to bring you with me.

Did you not hear me?

The Queen Mother wants to see you!

Bring her out.

Pardon?

Drag her out!

It is an order from the Queen Mother!

I heard you knew about it.

How come you just let her be?

You should have punished her accordingly!

You should have expelled her!

For what reason did you keep her around

by fooling your own grandmother?

I...

love that woman.

What did you just say?

I...

love that woman, Grandmother.

I got to meet her when I was the crown prince.

Since then, I have

loved her all along.

I found out later that the dead queen was

her twin sister.

She participated in the selection

to find the culprit who killed her sister.

She wanted to clear her family's name.

Who put her in that situation?

How could you say she is the only one to blame?

So...

did you think you could be with her if you accept

her as the queen by lying about who she is?

That you could keep her by your side?

Please wake up, King.

There was an ominous prophecy about her before she was born!

That means this is an ill-fated relationship!

I do not believe in

such a thing as a prophecy.

But do not worry.

I will send her away soon.

I already promised that I will clear Kang Yi Soo's

name and let her go.

I want you to expel her tonight.

I will say that she ran away since she got caught lying.

And you must not

meet her ever again.

This is the last bit of generosity I can provide you with.

Your Majesty, it's Chief Eunuch Hwang!

I need to talk to you urgently.

Come on in.

Your Majesty.

I heard Consort Hong was forcefully taken to the Queen Mother's Palace.

[Viki Ver] CSTV E14 'Queen: Love & War' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

How shameless and cheeky.

Go ahead and talk with your own mouth.

Say that you are still Hong Ki Ho's daughter.

Let's see if you can

still say that.

The Queen Mother is asking you a question!

Since she cannot answer,

that means she is not His Excellency Hong Ki Ho's daughter.

Your Highness.

You should strip her and find out.

If there is a scar, she is the dead queen

and if there is not,

the rumor that she is her twin must be true.

Strip her.

What are you doing? It's Her Highness's order!

Yes, Your Highness.

Stop that!

Do not be like this.

I would rather do it myself.

What?

If you are that curious,

I will strip and show you myself.

But...

there is no scar.

I...

am not the dead queen.

If so...

who are you?

I asked you who you are!

His Majesty is here!

King.

What are you doing right now?

Have you not hear the rumor?

The whole Hanyang is saying Consort Hong is a twin...

I have heard.

But why are you defending Consort Hong?

You should be interrogating her at least!

When the time comes,

I will reveal the truth myself.

So do not ever touch Consort Hong again.

Do you understand?

Does that mean that

you know something about this?

I will take Consort Hong with me.

King!

I will get you a house to hide in.

Han Mo will take you there

and I will tell him to bring your mother there soon too.

Leave now.

If you stay here,

you will have to keep going through hardships like this.

I...

will not run away, Your Majesty.

No matter what the reason was,

I deceived a lot of people

and insulted the royals and the ministry.

I will not...

be able to avoid the fact that I have sinned.

What are you talking about?

I have been picturing this

over and over again.

A day like this

and a moment like this.

I expected this since the moment

I participated in the selection.

Therefore,

I was always anxious

and afraid as well.

That is why I am telling you to leave.

I will take care of the rest. Just focus on your wellbeing...

I cannot make you responsible for everything.

His Excellency Hong Ki Ho will face hardship too.

I caused this from the beginning.

The fact that

I was not able to tell them who I was just now

was more shameful than being stripped.

I will reveal who I am in front of everyone

and get punished.

But,

please allow me to investigate the framing of my father.

Do you not know them?

Do you think anyone will be interested in that?

They will try to get you killed using your confession instead.

If that is what is expected,

I will prepare for it.

What did you just say?

I am worried about my mother,

but if that is what I deserve,

I will have to accept it.

How about me then?

How about me, who has to make that order?

How could you be so cruel to me?

How could you be so harsh?

If so...

are you telling me to make you

hide me away and lie to

the entire country?

Should I ask you to save me

and fool everyone else?

To you,

who is the king of this country?

I hate you so much

at least at this very moment.

What should I do with this situation?

It turns out Consort Hong is

the dead queen's twin sister.

Why did she have to be a twin?

Why?

And that prophecy too.

How much more

does she have to suffer?

Don't you agree?

Are you not shocked?

How could you be so calm?

I just feel bad for those two.

How come things are

always so harsh to just those two?

Your Majesty.

The relatives of the royals and the scholars

are having a protest in front of the palace right now.

What?

Your Majesty!

An awful rumor

that the queen and Consort Hong

are twin sisters are spreading in the market!

Please reveal the truth

regarding Consort Hong,

Your Majesty!

Please reveal the truth, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Please reveal the truth regarding

the rumor surrounding Consort Hong, Your Majesty.

Please reveal the truth, Your Majesty!

What are you

planning to do with her?

What am I planning to do with her?

Pardon?

I'll take her and keep her by my side.

She'll have to watch the

King dying in front of me.

You should've seen how

pale the King's face turned!

The Heavens are helping us like this.

They say you must try your best and let the Heavens decide.

Or should I say, wherever I go, there is a way?

That's right!

By the way, Hyungnim...

where do you think

that rumor came from anyway?

I know, that means

someone already knew about Consort Hong.

Why does that matter so much?

Right now, it's important to

pressure the King so he can't do anything else.

You have to go after the prey at once

in order not to lose it.

Yes.

The ministers' letter to the King

has been prepared, correct?

Your Majesty.

You are receiving countless letters.

Your Majesty, it's Han Mo.

Your Majesty.

The number of protestors is growing bigger and bigger.

Just to be safe,

I will combine forces with Five Guards Directorate to strengthen security.

They will try to get you killed using your confession instead.

How about me then?

How about me, who has to make that order?

I hate you so much

at least at this very moment.

One!

- One! - Two!

Two!

One!

Two!

Ready!

Ready!

One!

One!

I will send letters to the members that are across the country.

I will notify the army as well.

But in order to invade the palace,

we will need someone to open the gate for us.

We will find someone.

Because of the rumor and protest,

the security at the palace must be getting stronger.

If so...

isn't it even more difficult to get into the palace?

Doesn't the palace summon soldiers from Five Guards Directorate

to supplement at times like this?

Yes, that's correct.

We'll disguise our men into Five Guards Directorate' soldiers

and let them inside the palace.

Will that be possible?

It's not impossible either.

To the royal guards, the Five Guards Directorate's soldiers are

all basically strangers.

So it will be easier to enter than usual.

But before that,

we'll have to acquire an entrance pass.

We will have to send our men to Five Guards Directorate Headquarters as well.

There is a general I know at the Five Guards Directorate Headquarters.

If this rumor is true, please punish

Consort Hong, Your Majesty!

Please punish her, Your Majesty!

For deceiving the royals and the ministry,

please punish Consort Hong, Your Majesty!

Punish her, Your Majesty!

I am here to send you a message

on behalf of the ministers.

We can no longer

delay the investigation.

The deadline we decided on is two days later

before noon.

Please find out everything about

Consort Hong before that.

If...

you do not do that,

the King's Palace will become completely empty.

All the ministers decided

to be on strike as a whole.

You will not be able to govern the country without the ministers.

Please reveal the truth

and strengthen the dignity of the royals.

He's the one that Jo Heung Gyeon

was talking about.

Follow him.

We will take him with us quietly.

Yes, sir.

Left State Minister.

Sorry for treating you rudely.

I heard...

you disappeared lately.

But what is this...

You will have to help me a bit.

With what, exactly?

If you can help us,

we will compensate you accordingly.

But if you say no,

not only you, but also your family

will be in danger.

Pardon?

Alright.

Aigoo.

Who are you?

I am here due to the King's order.

I will have to see the criminal.

Did you just...

say "the King's order?"

Aigoo.

Right now,

are you telling me to say that the Kim family was behind everything?

That never happened. Please leave.

If you confess,

His Majesty will take care of your family.

Didn't you hear it when I told you to leave?

Well...

Do you know how your family is doing in Hanyang?

Do you know how the Kim family is treating them?

I saw with my own eyes before I came here.

They were left completely high and dry right now.

Stop lying.

How dare you try to come between us?

Excuse me, sir.

While you were staying here,

have you received a single letter from Kim Man Chan?

Or has he sent anyone here at least once?

No, right?

Right now, he has

no interest in you whatsoever.

There's no way His Excellency Kim Man Chan would be like that.

He knows the things I had to do for the Kim family.

I'm sorry to tell you this,

but you have been ditched.

Ditched.

Ditched like an old pair of shoes.

You...

How dare you blabber your mouth?

Have you heard anything from Wal yet?

He should be here by now.

It's probably not easy to persuade Kwon Ik Soo.

He's been the Kim family's henchman his whole life.

He won't testify so easily.

Your Majesty.

Consort Hong is here.

I wanted to deliver the medicine through Chief Eunuch Hwang.

Have you...

changed your mind at all?

No.

My decision remains the same.

All the ministers will be here tomorrow at noon.

Let us reveal

the truth there and then.

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

I will drink the medicine in a bit.

You may leave now.

I would...

like to thank you for everything, Your Majesty.

The moment...

you called me Eun Bo,

I was happy.

Since you called me that, I finally

decided to reclaim my name.

That brief moment will be more memorable

than any moment

I have ever lived in.

I will leave under that name

that you called me.

That will be...

enough for me.

So...

please do not

suffer because of me for too long.

Aigoo.

How about we drink some makgeolli since the night is cold?

Sounds good!

When we start working in the palace tomorrow,

we won't be able to drink for a while.

Let's go!

Let's go this way.

By the way, is the rumor true?

That twin sister.

What will happen anyway?

Who are you?

These are the soldiers that were selected to guard the palace.

Sir!

Get them!

Guard them securely.

Yes.

I locked the soldiers up in the storage room.

It's a poisoned needle.

The royal gatekeepers usually work in a group of nine.

We have to get rid of them quietly and to open the palace gate,

it'd be good to use a poisoned needle.

I will make them hide it in their sleeve.

Sounds good.

We're done preparing for everything now.

Tomorrow is

the day the King is supposed to reveal the truth.

Soon, the King will expel Consort Hong

and that's the day

when we'll achieve our mission.

Please punish...

Consort Hong, Your Majesty!

Punish her, Your Majesty!

Please punish...

Consort Hong, Your Majesty!

Punish her, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

It's almost time to meet with the ministers.

Make everyone come to the Grand Palace.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I told you that you'd regret it, didn't I?

It would've been nice if you joined me sooner.

Today,

I won't wear anything too showy.

Yes, My Lady.

You have...

worked so hard assisting me by my side.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

I didn't do anything.

By the way...

Why are you saying that as if this is out last time?

Today, I will give you

the answer you have been

expecting for so long.

Let her in.

Consort Hong,

reveal the truth yourself.

Forgive me.

Just like what the rumors outside the palace say,

I am not His Excellency Hong Ki Ho's daughter.

I am...

His Excellency Kang Yi Soo's daughter

and the former queen, Kang's twin sister...

Kang Eun Bo.

Consort Hong,

reveal the truth yourself.

Forgive me.

Just like what the rumors outside the palace say,

I am not His Excellency Hong Ki Ho's daughter.

I am...

His Excellency Kang Yi Soo's daughter

and the former queen, Kang's twin sister...

Kang Eun Bo.

[ Queen: Love and War ]

You must not see the King again.

I do not want you two reencounter again.

Your Majesty, Consort Hong disappeared.

I'm planning to take her with me.

If you're going to use me to threat His Majesty,

please kill me instead.

I will give you another option.

Wouldn't you like to work with me?

- Your Majesty! - It is a coup.

Capture the leader of the traitors,

Lee Jae Hwa immediately.

It is an order.

Listen up, insurgents!

Tonight, we will

kill the King.
