She suffered a great trauma and passed out.

Bring her some medicine quickly.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Head Court Lady.

What is it?

Is the Dowager Queen all right?

You will get notice once she has recovered.

Go back and wait.

I know you were very disappointed today.

Do not feel too down.

As for your father's status...

I will look for an opportunity to bring it up to the Dowager Queen.

Why would you do such a thing?

Why do you continue to help me?

To me, you are...

The person who killed your father?

Your enemy?

It was not me.

It was not me...

who killed your father.

That cannot be possible.

I saw it myself.

Did you see my face behind the mask?

I did not kill him.

I said something I shouldn't have.

I will tell you the truth when the time comes.

Please keep this a secret for the time being.

If it was not the King...

then who was it?

Who killed my father?

[Episode 23] I questioned the troupe.

They say they only did what they were told to.

They feel very wronged.

Who told them to do that show?

The thing is...

they say it was a servant of the Dowager Queen.

A servant of the Dowager Queen?

Does that make sense to you?

I searched everywhere and could find no such person.

I apologize, Your Majesty.

What happened with the Crown Prince?

You said he was dead!

He was most definitely thrown into the river.

I do not know how he managed to survive.

I will take care of it again.

This time I will kill him for good.

That's enough. You can stop.

Choi Heon's army cannot even come here to us.

The person I must face now is not the Crown Prince, but Dae Mok.

How dare he use that play?

He dares to harass me in that way?

Do you really believe it was Elder Dae Mok?

Of course! It was Dae Mok.

Who else would do something so bold?

I believe it was Dae Mok, as well.

However, the Pyeonsoo-hwe were involved in the poisoning of the Crown Prince too.

They would not want to publicly announce such a thing.

Then who are you saying would do such a thing?

That would be...

someone who knew this 20-year-old secret.

The Pyeonsoo-hwe is our enemy.

The Dowager Queen is our enemy.

We are surrounded by enemies.

Should we fight the Dowager Queen first or Dae Mok?

You can just stay put.

So, what are you planning to do?

How are you feeling, Your Majesty?

Instead of worrying about your sister...

why didn't you properly carry out the tasks I asked you to do?

Soon, Dae Mok will start the process of selecting a new Queen.

This is something my granddaughter said.

Once your son grows older, you will have a daughter-in-law.

One who should step aside, should step aside.

Handing over true power to the young people...

is the way the world works.

He will choose a new Queen.

He is planning on shoving me into a back room.

Pardon?

Keep marriage from being brought up in government.

Do what you can, Minister of the Right.

That is not something I have the power to do, Your Majesty.

Minister of the Right, what is it that you can do?

Your Majesty.

Boss of the pack carriers would like to see you.

Shall I tell him you are too ill too see him?

No.

Send him in.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Have you come?

You lowly child of Youngbin.

Come in and sit down.

Yesterday, I showed a poor side of myself.

Not at all, Your Majesty.

How are you feeling?

I am much better.

What brings you by today?

Dae Mok tried to kill me!

I was thrown in the water and barely managed to survive.

I am so angry and I can barely hold myself back.

That is why I am here today.

I cannot call myself a man unless I pay him back for what he's done.

Your Majesty.

I will help you out with whatever knowledge that I have.

Please help me in attacking Dae Mok.

Do you...

by any chance know what Dae Mok's next action will be?

Dae Mok will want to select a new Queen.

The new Queen will be the most powerful woman in the palace.

They are trying to take away your strength.

Then what should I do?

There is no way...

to stop it.

The King is an adult.

The late King passed away a long time ago.

How can you stop him from marrying?

Then what are you saying we should do?

"Discard a stone so you may capture your opponent."

In the game of Go, it is important to read the moves.

In politics, it is important to keep leadership.

The marriage will happen regardless.

It is better if it is you who orders it.

You should lead the selection of the Queen.

The new Queen and leader should be chosen by you.

Do not go on the defensive, go on the offensive instead.

I believe you are correct.

The King will have to get married.

It is better if I move quickly and choose one of my people.

One of Dae Mok's people cannot become the Queen.

I will help you, Your Majesty.

Now that we have talked

I feel like the lump in my throat has gone down.

Then I will wait for you to call on me.

I will take my leave now.

I will keep the Crown Prince alive for now.

Will that be all right, Your Majesty? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Using his knowledge to fight Dae Mok is my priority right now.

We will select a new Queen and change who is in power.

I want you all to know and be prepared.

Chief, who will we be selecting as the candidate for Queen?

Do you happen to have a daughter, Minister of the Left?

Yes! I do have a daughter.

Prime Minister, you have a daughter, do you not?

Yes, Chief.

Officer, Officer!

What's going on here?

Officer.

How dare you? You cannot just come in here.

Please give me a deadly flower.

You rascal!

You could not find a little girl. How dare you come here?

I am so sorry.

What did this man do wrong?

While the guards were being lazy

a child managed to run away from the fields.

Therefore, as a warning, I did not give him a deadly flower.

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

Please spare me. Please...

Do you realize how important it is to manage the deadly flower fields?

Please let me live, Elder.

You'd better get that straight.

I'm begging you for a deadly flower... a deadly flower.

If you get lazy with your management one more time

I will not forgive you.

What is all this commotion?

- Elder Dae Mok. - Elder Dae Mok!

On which days do the deadly flowers go out?

The first day of the month and the middle of the month.

Two times a month.

What about any other days?

Under no circumstances, not for any reason...

can we give out deadly flowers.

What if it is for the King?

Not even for the King.

What happens if you break that rule and give out deadly flowers?

Please spare my life, Elder Dae Mok.

If I had come out even a little too late...

I would not have been able to spare you.

Now, think about how you need to manage the deadly flowers.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I am so very sorry that I could not keep my promise to you.

I wanted to go against Dae Mok and clear your father's name.

Then...

what will happen to my father's status?

I know you must be heartbroken, but will you trust me and help me?

If you will continue to do so

I will keep my promise to you.

Yes. Your Majesty.

Before...

you said the King received

nothing more than a potted plant from the Pyeonsoo-hwe.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I am certain there is more to it.

That bamboo container you saw...

Can you bring it to me?

You're here?

Did you wait long?

Not at all.

I owe you a lot for your help with General Choi Heon.

I didn't get to thank you earlier.

I sincerely thank you.

If it was helpful to you, that alone makes me happy.

Your Highness, you saved my family's life.

I should be the one thanking you.

Actually, the reason why I asked to see you today...

I feel very shameless.

But, I want to ask you for your help again.

What is it about?

Have you ever seen this, by any chance?

What... is it?

It is poison.

Did His Majesty ask for tea?

Yes, Elder Eunuch.

It is magnolia fruit tea, which is good for you before it becomes summer.

At least until I finish drinking this tea...

can you stay here by my side?

At least until I finish this tea...

can you just stay here beside me?

Even an expert in medicine here in Joseon

does not know what this poison is or the antidote for it.

I was very frustrated by it.

You are a merchant who deals with people in Japan.

I thought perhaps you might know.

That is why I asked to see you.

I do not know.

I am sorry but I have not seen it before.

Where did you get it?

It is a poison made by the Pyeonsoo-hwe.

Please hold on.

If it is all right with you...

I will send it with someone who is going to Waegwan today.

I will show it to the Japanese merchants that I deal with.

Thank you, Head Merchant.

I know the bamboo container was in the potted plant.

I saw it myself.

Did you see my face behind the mask?

Young Miss Ga Eun.

Can we talk for a moment?

I am sorry. I am in a rush.

I know. You're going to the Dowager Queen.

Please drink.

I really am in a rush.

They say that haste makes waste.

In the palace...

you must be careful of tea that is served to you by others.

Do you not agree?

I will get to the point since you say you are busy.

Will you continue to risk your life for the Dowager Queen?

How did you...

The palace is full of eyes and ears.

I am thinking of you when I say this to you.

Do not be involved any longer.

You truly could end up losing your life.

Who, exactly, are you?

Who are you...

I am someone who wishes goodwill to the boss.

I believe the people of this nation need a person like him.

So... I am worried for the person he loves.

You must take my warning seriously.

It was really a regular bamboo container?

I'm sorry.

The Dowager Queen nearly found out about the deadly flowers.

She is a kind young lady.

She did not know anything when she did it.

One could not know something

yet, still end up killing a person.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Oh goodness.

I must have fallen asleep.

I apologize.

But, it is almost time for you to meet the pack carrier boss.

Have you not eaten the deadly flower?

I'd better eat it now.

Your Majesty?

The deadly flower... I cannot find it.

I know I left it in here.

Are you certain it was here?

I will go see Elder Dae Mok and get another one.

Do you not know how Dae Mok is?

Do you not know the Pyeonsoo-hwe's rules for the deadly flowers?

They will never...

give me another one.

Has something happened to the King?

Follow me.

Lee Seon!

Lee Seon!

Lee Seon, Lee Seon!

- Your Highness... - What happened?

Have you been poisoned?

Who dared to do this?

It was Dae Mok.

Dae Mok got me addicted to the deadly flower.

The deadly flower?

Why are you only showing up now?

Why didn't you stop me when I said I would pretend to be you?

Why did you leave me here?

- Lee Seon. - I have not been at peace for one day.

What if Dae Mok does not give me a deadly flower?

If he gives it to me a little late, I may just end up dying.

I have been afraid so many times.

It can't be...

Did Dae Mok withhold the deadly flower from you?

It is your fault, Your Highness.

Facing death every mid-month

having people point their finger at me as a puppet King.

It is all your fault!

I am sorry.

I had no idea you were suffering so much.

You said you would be back soon.

Lee Seon... Lee Seon!

Lee Seon!

Lee Seon.

I will go and get you a deadly flower.

From where?

Where will you get something that rare?

Are you going to go to Dae Mok's home?

It doesn't matter if it's Dae Mok's home.

I will even go to hell and get it if I must.

Hold on for a bit.

If I end up dying...

put on the mask.

Sit back on the throne.

Lee Seon!

There is only one thing left to do.

The deadly flower I gave to Head Merchant Hwa Goon is probably headed to Waegwan.

Why is the King suddenly in this state?

I cannot tell you why.

I will call the doctor.

It is no use to call for one.

Court Lady Han, no...

Young Miss Ga Eun.

Please stay with the King.

What are you doing here? Why are you not at your post?

Answer me. What are you doing?

Answer me right now.

Intruders! We have intruders!

Get them!

What is it?

Boss.

Head... Merchant?

I will alert the doctor. One moment.

He cannot help even if you call him.

Just stay here with me.

Your Majesty... I saw a child with the same symptoms as you.

What happened to that child?

She died.

Soon...

that will happen to me, as well.

Since I will die anyhow...

I have been holding back on telling you something.

May I say it to you now?

I love you.

I...

love you.

I love you.

Head Merchant.

Why are you here?

- I... - Hwa Goon, are you in there?

I'm coming in now.

Wait, Grandfather!
