(This drama is a fictional depiction of a constitutional monarchy.)

(Episode 27)

The Empress Dowager put poison in the gimbap the Empress made.

That day,

I clearly witnessed it.

Shut your mouth! How many lives do you think you have?

Now, tell us the truth, Your Highness.

If you were innocent,

you wouldn't have pinned it on the Empress.

I did not even see you at Mother's chamber that day.

How dare you tell lies here?

When I was going to call a doctor as I held her dead body,

it was you who stopped me.

You told me that you had to make the Empress take the fall.

It was you who put the poison in her food!

You must have lost it. Have you lost your mind?

This piece of skirt. Doesn't it belong to you?

I even confirmed that the poison...

on this skirt was the same as the one that killed Grandmother.

Why were you trying to secretly burn this?

It's...

Why did...

Grandmother die?

Who killed her?

You must admit your crime now.

Mother.

What she just said... Is this all true?

This is all a lie.

Don't you believe me?

Then explain how the poison got on your skirt.

And what about that video?

Please explain this.

The Empress conspired with Min Yu Ra.

She's causing this ridiculous ruckus.

I am indeed at a loss for words.

The poison on my skirt...

does not prove that I killed Mother.

Besides, Min Yu Ra is a scary witch who added...

a sleep inducing drug in Mother's tea.

How could you believe her?

Then why did you lock Ms. Ha up and threaten her?

If you were not guilty, you wouldn't have done that.

I only did so to stop you from making these groundless accusations.

How could you be so dense?

I agree. Even if she can be a bit mean,

how could this make sense?

My mother isn't that depraved.

Empress, send that skirt to the police...

and request for an official investigation.

What did you just...

Of course, I believe you.

I am certain you would never do such a thing.

It won't hurt even if we let the Empress...

do whatever she wants.

I will handle Min Yu Ra. Chief Chun.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You are quite reckless.

You will soon find out that accusing me of the murder...

without any concrete proof was a very foolish thing to do.

What has become certain is that...

you are somehow involved in Grandmother's death.

If you feel this is unfair, bring me the evidence.

Evidence that proves that you are not the culprit.

What?

Now, how does it feel to walk in my shoes?

- Oh Sunny... - In any case...

Ms. Ha and I are put in danger because of this,

the press will get a hold of this video.

Two of our lives depend on this.

Having a backup plan sounds like a smart thing to do, doesn't it?

What... Empress. Empress.

What a witch!

Hey. Are you all right? Take a seat.

Are you hurt?

After I had been locked up, I've been getting headaches.

Why the sudden headaches?

The room was blocked up with concrete walls.

I smelled of awful flowers.

Flowers?

The smell was too strong that it gave me headaches.

Awful smell of flowers?

Your Majesty! I will do everything you tell me to do.

If you tell me to lie as I just did, I will.

Please... Please spare my life, Your Majesty.

Spare your life?

What did you do with Na Wang Shik's mom's body?

Tell me that.

Tell me now.

If I tell you, you'll kill me.

You'll kill me if you don't need me anymore.

How could I tell you that?

You won't tell me?

Please make a promise first,

that you won't send me to that hospital again.

No. If you'd bring me back into the palace,

I'll bring you Na Wang Shik's head.

I don't care if I'm a low-level court lady.

I'll wash your feet...

Please let me at least wash your feet.

Are you negotiating with me right now?

I have a plan.

You can't catch Wang Shik without me.

No one knows him better than I do.

I can catch him easily...

even without you.

Chief Chun, get rid of her.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty! Please trust me.

I swear I'll kill Na Wang Shik.

Your Majesty! Please give me just one more chance!

Get off of me.

Hey.

Get out of my sight.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Get rid of her.

Your Majesty!

No!

Your Majesty!

Go ahead.

- You must have been shocked. - What happened?

Why did Yu Ra suddenly show up?

Hyuk called her in...

to frame the Empress Dowager.

He put her up to it?

He has been wanting to be free from the Empress Dowager's control.

So I proposed...

using Yu Ra.

Are you saying she lied?

I'm sure she was willing to even grasp at straws...

since she wanted to live.

But it isn't a bad thing.

The Empress Dowager is currently the most likely suspect,

so we must corner her if we want to catch her...

since she is such a snake.

I've taken care of Yu Ra.

I didn't know she'd survive and come back.

She's so persistent.

I want to kill her!

How could she show up looking like that and say that?

You need to calm down.

You'll just draw more suspicion.

If you're innocent, you should have nothing to fear.

Your Majesty.

Tell me now.

What happened the night the Grand Empress Dowager passed?

Why are you surprised?

I know everything, even if you don't say it.

I know what you did with my hairpin.

The Imperial Auditors are meeting in the morning.

Then Empress So Hyun's matter will be uncovered too.

You're the only one who can stop her.

You must do something.

You're right. Grandmother is out of her mind right now.

How could she report me? I'm the Emperor!

Grandmother has abandoned me.

Your Majesty. Where are you going?

(Day of Incident 4:30am)

(Report)

(The death of Empress So Hyun...)

Grandmother.

Did you just try to kill me?

I hope it wasn't so.

I won't let myself believe it.

What are you so afraid of, that you were willing...

to kill your grandmother?

There is no such thing.

Tell me the truth. What are you hiding?

Is it Empress So Hyun's death?

Or did you try to kill Sunny?

Answer me!

That's right. I killed Empress So Hyun.

She had betrayed me and was pregnant with another man's baby!

She abandoned me first!

Do you call that an excuse?

Empress So Hyun lived for you!

How could you suspect her?

How did you turn into this monster?

Are you senile?

Do you want to eliminate the Imperial Family?

Who cares about that?

Just look at yourself!

The Imperial Family has no reason to exist, and it doesn't deserve to!

It's my Imperial Family! I endured Father's beatings for it!

What right do you have?

I'll stop you because you embarrass me!

I will drag you off the throne myself!

You will not get your way,

so give it up.

Must you make your grandson a murderer?

Cancel the auditors' meeting!

Let go!

I swear I did not kill Grandmother.

That's a given.

How could the Emperor, the master of the palace,

poison your grandmother to death?

I had never even imagined that.

Even if you did kill her,

I'm sure she deserved to die.

Mother.

If it gets out that the hairpin...

belongs to you, you'll be cornered more.

I didn't testify...

in order to protect you.

No way.

You probably couldn't because your fingerprints are all over it.

- Mother! - Lower your voice.

People will think we're fighting because we suspect each other.

Now, you tell me.

What happened...

in Grandmother's room?

(Day of Incident 4:30am)

This won't do.

- What is this? - Poison.

If you're really going to abandon your grandson,

kill me first.

Are you...

threatening me?

The Emperor is the ruler of this land.

Rather than watch him be punished and his crimes uncovered,

I'd rather...

take this poison and die right here.

Mother.

You wicked this. You evil thing!

How dare you threaten to die in front of your mother-in-law?

So please, stop.

Please protect the Emperor and the Imperial Family.

It isn't too late.

Admit your crimes along with the Emperor...

and ask for forgiveness.

I will protect you somehow.

No.

I didn't do anything bad enough to ask for forgiveness,

and above all else, I don't trust you.

Don't you do anything. I will fix it somehow,

whatever it takes.

Fine.

Let's take this all the way.

You're the one who turned the Emperor into that fool...

and kicked Yoon out of the palace.

It was all your doing.

You will have to pay for all of your sins.

It's time to put an end to this, Mother.

I had served Mother...

with all my heart for my entire life.

Had I wanted to kill her, I would've done it long ago.

Everyone would have suspected me.

Why would I make such a bad move?

Don't you think so?

Isn't that why you needed another suspect?

Isn't that why you put poison in the Empress' gimbap?

I have never done such a thing.

Then why was the poison on your skirt?

Please explain yourself with logic I can understand.

Mother splashed it on me.

I went to persuade her, but she was the one who threw it at me.

That's the truth.

You and I both knew one thing for certain.

That, Sunny didn't kill Grandmother.

But how come you were never interested in finding out the truth?

Isn't it because you already know...

who the real culprit is?

Isn't it the same with you?

You pulled my hairpin...

and went to Mother's chamber.

And the hairpin was lodged into her chest when she died.

There couldn't be a clearer piece of evidence.

I can only cover it up when I know the truth.

Rely on me, Your Majesty.

Now, you will never be able to control me.

I am no longer the puppet you used to...

have under your thumb.

Sunny pulled a fast one on me after getting Yu Ra to her side?

What an ungrateful brat.

I don't think you should let this slide.

Of course, not.

I must do everything in my power to get her divorced and expel her.

Book as many events as possible even if she breaks down.

Ones that would be physically demanding.

She will realize how scary this place is once she's worn out.

I will proceed right away.

Hold on.

Before that, I should shake her up.

(Oh Geum Mo)

Mr. Oh, how have you been?

You must be curious how the Empress is doing these days, right?

So...

Lee Hyuk sided with me in order to bring down his own mother?

She won't just sit and let that happen.

It's still so dusty! There's no use cleaning this every day.

Sunny!

My goodness, Sunny. Goodness.

Hey, sweetie.

Why is your room so cold?

It's actually a bit hot for me. I have a lot of body heat.

What brings you here? Why didn't you call me that you were coming?

The Empress Dowager said I could come visit you,

so I came here right away.

Dad, look. Why don't I make you a cup of coffee?

Did you eat? I have everything here.

But why does your room look...

Goodness, look at the layout.

The layout is awesome.

This is great. It's so nice.

- Right? - By the way,

you have to do laundry and clean.

And you have to cook meals in your room too?

What? I mean... This is more comfortable for me.

I'm not good at ordering people around. You know that.

Of course, I know that. That's how you are.

You have to keep moving around. Otherwise, you will feel stiff.

By the way, what's this?

Ta-da.

I was really craving some fried chicken.

This looks delicious.

This is so good. It's the skin.

The meals from the palace are really healthy.

I don't like healthy food, you know.

This is it.

Fried chicken from Dad is the best!

Of course. That is why I brought all of your favorite side dishes.

Take a look. Look at these.

You'll upset your stomach. Slow down.

Gosh, I shouldn't have brought this.

I should've brought beer. Gosh, I'm so silly.

By the way, is everything okay at home?

Are Mr. Byun and Dong Shik doing well?

Of course, everyone is well.

You have nothing to worry about. My goodness.

By the way, whenever I look at your room,

you really picked the right spot for your stuff.

You have all the stuff you would need on your way.

Gosh, this must be so convenient.

This is good. Good.

- Isn't it? - Yes.

You know, I'm resourceful.

I was in charge of cooking in the theater troupe.

This is a piece of cake for me.

Goodness, my sweetie.

There's nothing you can't do.

Goodness.

Sunny, take your time with the food.

Let me use the bathroom.

Gosh, the bathroom.

Why did you bring me back here?

This isn't what you promised.

It was you who broke the promise.

Didn't you say that you would do anything if I got you out of here?

I even braced myself to get beaten to death by the Empress Dowager...

and made a false statement. What more do you want?

Where is the body of Na Wang Shik's mother?

If you want to live, tell me that first.

I can't.

That's my lifeline. I must do everything I can to survive.

Tell the Emperor to try to survive too.

Na Wang Shik? He's not an easy match.

In the end, he will be completely ruined...

and ask to see me again.

Sure. Try to survive here if you can.

Call the Empress for me.

I helped her. I... I can't...

She can't let me die in a place like this.

Call the Empress.

Grab her.

Don't. Don't do it!

No!

(Joo Seung)

(Kang Joo Seung)

Let's cheer up, Sunny.

Don't let that bring me down.

When did you get here, Chief Chun?

Did your father come for a visit?

Yes. He told me to hang in here with some food.

He brought me a lot of side dishes.

By the way,

did Yu Ra talk?

About where your mother is buried?

Not yet.

I will make her talk by all means.

What a witch.

How could she still not tell you? I should rip her mouth open.

I'll be able to find my mom, right?

Of course. We'll find her. We will find her no matter what.

You haven't had lunch, right? Do you want to join me?

Now, I'm at a war with Mother.

I must eat well especially during wartime.

Your chamber is quite cold. Are you all right?

Yes, I'm all right.

Tell me if you need anything.

Thank you for looking out for me, Chief Chun.

No problem.

No, why must I avoid them?

Why would I?

What do you think?

Isn't this a feast? I bet your mouth is watering now.

I won't eat it.

If I eat, I gain weight pretty fast.

Make today an exception.

Don't you know that if you enjoy it, it won't have any calories?

All right. Here's my spell.

You must eat well for you to take your medication.

You take strong painkillers.

My gosh, you are so stubborn.

You're forcing me to show you how to make an awesome wrap.

I'm really okay.

Meat.

Vegetables.

Here. You must be starving to death because you haven't eaten all day.

My gosh. Isn't that pork belly?

Dong Shik was waiting to eat with you.

I'm so hungry, I thought I'd starve to death.

Isn't it the best?

Have a sip of this too.

Isn't this rice wine?

One glass is like medicine.

I get indigestion often since I came to the palace.

I can't digest the food here very well.

Have this too.

Chief Chun.

Your Majesty.

- What are you doing here? - Pardon?

Sit down.

The food looks delicious.

I shall have some as well.

Enjoy, Chief Chun.

What are you doing?

Why show up uninvited to someone else's room and act close?

What? Someone else's room?

Nothing in the palace is "someone else's". It's all mine.

That's mine. This is mine.

This, that, this, this,

and this...

That's mine too.

They're all mine.

My dad brought these, so they're not yours.

And this.

And this, this, and this!

They're all mine, understand?

It the Emperor wants it, it's his!

They're all mine!

Excuse me.

He just left? After seeing all that?

He should've dragged his daughter out of here.

Like father, like daughter.

- What's on the Empress' calendar? - She must attend...

the welfare center kimchi making and the volunteer work for the elderly.

Make her too busy to even eat.

We'll teach her that it isn't easy being an empress.

Did you look into that novel her sister wrote?

What was her source?

I looked into Vincent Lee and something is suspicious.

The American agency said Vincent Lee was a man.

A man?

Dig deeper.

What are they up to?

Did you call for me, Your Highness?

Yes.

Come closer and sit.

What happened?

I asked you to get rid of Sunny long ago.

Why are you taking so long to get rid of a little girl?

Did I misjudge you?

I've started to become close to her. Please be patient.

I can't wait too long, so you'll have to bring me results.

I'll do my best.

- You may go. - Yes, Your Highness.

Hello, Mr. Mo. Did you receive the documents?

You didn't receive them yet?

I told Princess So Jin to sign them and give them to you.

I'll check again.

(Financial Report)

What are you doing here?

What were you doing in my empty room?

Well...

This.

I found this in the courtyard out back. It's yours, isn't it?

I thought I saw you wearing it before.

Why was my ring in the courtyard?

Did the cleaning court lady swipe it?

I'm going to make them...

I'll look into it. You don't need to get involved.

I'll tell the guards to pay more attention here as well.

Bin.

How are you so reliable?

If my Bin shared this room with me,

I wouldn't need any guards.

My apologies.

What is this?

It's like a side job.

It's a company my mother ran,

but it's in my name.

All I need to do is sign. It's quite a moneymaker.

That's right. She said to send them by this morning.

You should read these carefully.

It may put you in danger.

My mother wouldn't scam her own daughter.

There are more of these, but there haven't been any problems.

Still, I'm worried, Your Highness.

If problems arises later, you'll be the one in trouble.

I don't want that.

Is Bin worrying about me?

That's right. My mother is totally capable of worse.

She gave me the Imperial Mall...

and took it away.

I just can't trust her.

Bin. What should I do?

Shall I look into it for you discreetly?

- Would you? - Of course.

It's for you, of all people.

I sent you a document on a paper company.

Please take a look.

It looks like it belongs to the Empress Dowager,

but the transaction details list a Swiss account.

I loved you

We met

And created an unforgettable memory

A good love story with a good ending

Chungeum Island.

Chungeum Island.

Are you okay?

It hurts, Mother.

It hurts so much.

I'm sorry, Your Highness. I'm so sorry.

Are you all right? Does it hurt a lot?

Shall I get an ointment?

You should've held onto it tightly!

What were you doing?

Hey, you. You did it on purpose, didn't you?

I did not. Why would I?

You suddenly pulled on it.

What? So what?

Are you saying it's my fault?

I'm a princess!

Princess.

Did you pull on the string?

Well... Not exactly.

Even if I had pulled on it,

if you were holding it right, I wouldn't have gotten hurt.

You pulled on it so suddenly...

my hand couldn't...

Princess, apologize to the court lady.

Mother, how could a princess apologize to a court lady?

It is only right to apologize when you have done something wrong.

Princess, apologize to her now.

No, Your Majesty. I don't need an apology.

Now.

Sorry.

Hold the string better next time.

Princess, you don't feel sorry at all, do you?

If you don't repent on or admit your wrongdoings,

I will punish you in my own way.

You are not to accept her apology until you feel it's sincere.

Mother.

I am really sorry.

Take this money, and put in a good word for me.

If this is your apology, I don't need it either.

You. Pick one from the chest.

All of them are more expensive than your annual salary.

So accept my apology now!

I do not want to, Your Highness.

Do you plan to change your life around with this?

Princess So Jin was right.

Those who don't have much become entitled when we're nice to them.

This is ridiculous.

Princess Ari.

Follow me.

What did you do wrong?

What did you do wrong, Princess?

I really don't know.

I only did what I was taught.

Princess So Jin and my nanny...

told me not to lower my head to my helpers.

I was taught that money could solve everything.

What have I done wrong?

Come here.

That's not what an apology is.

Money isn't everything either.

Trying to understand how you hurt the other person is apologizing.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Then you will accept my apology, right?

Gosh, my princess. You have a lot to learn.

What am I going to do with you?

Let me see.

Does it hurt?

Heal faster.

Heal faster.

(Restricted Number)

It's him.

(Restricted Number, Speaker)

My gosh, there you go again, trying to weasel your way out of this.

Until the moment you die, you won't live without worries.

I'm going to dry up your blood.

Where is my mother's body?

I don't know.

Ask your lover, Yu Ra, yourself.

Yu Ra, that witch. She still hasn't talked?

She's gotten nastier than before. She won't tell me.

Why don't you make a deal with her?

Make a deal with her?

I want to kill her if I could. Why would I do that?

Just like she used you,

you can use her and dispose of her later.

Besides, to find all the fine china and gold bars she took,

killing her now would be a loss.

For now, we should comply with...

her demand.

People evaluated that the event was meaningful in spreading...

the hundred-year history of the Imperial Family...

and in encouraging our younger clientele and our company's future.

The concert was especially well-received.

This is the first draft for the press release.

("The Shopping Complex Has a Successful Countdown")

This was perfect.

I knew that Ms. Oh's idea...

was going to strike a chord with the public.

I have to leave soon.

I can't let that happen.

Have you had a lot of part-time jobs?

Of course, I will work hard and do a good job.

My gosh, but you are too handsome.

I'm sure our sales will skyrocket now.

You are really beautiful too.

Could you keep it down, Mr. Lee?

Sure.

By the way, you could be a model with just an apron on.

It was nice meeting you today. I'll call you.

You can call me even if I don't get the job.

Should I go out and spread more flyers?

(Hiring 1, Hourly Rate, 8 dollars)

(Hiring 1, Hourly Rate, 8 dollars)

I got you.

- Ms. Oh. - I knew it.

Mr. Lee, why are you taking down the flyers I just put up?

It's not what it seems.

You can just hire the guy who came for the interview earlier.

Why would you go around and put these up?

It looked like you two were quite taken with each other.

My gosh, did you see him?

He's really handsome and cool, isn't he?

He looked like a model at a glance.

Do you just like any men?

No, you're the only one I like.

- Pardon? - I told you.

I said, I liked you.

Can't you be honest?

I know that you like me too.

Isn't that why you are getting all angry and jealous?

Why do you make things so complicated?

If you like someone, so be it.

- Great job, everyone. - Good work.

- Good work. - Great job.

You did well today.

Can you do me another part-time job? It's not a photo shoot.

What is the gig?

Well, let me explain the theme.

(Sunil Mental Hospital)

I got you out of here. So tell me where it is.

Where is Na Wang Shik's mom's body?

His Majesty will allow me to come back to the palace, right?

Don't try to deceive me again, and tell me now!

If Na Wang Shik finds out, he won't let this slide.

Will you be okay?

I threw her body in the river under a bridge.

It's probably around the pillar of the bridge.

It will be hard to find her body as it's covered with trash.

Hello, Your Majesty.

What is it that you want to discuss regarding Princess Ari?

Well...

It's really upsetting.

The Empress hit Princess Ari.

Why would she do that?

Princess Ari got hurt because a court lady was careless.

She only believed in the court lady.

Not only did she make Ari apologize, but the Empress used her stick.

How could she hit such a little girl like Ari?

As I was upset, I asked her not to do that again,

but I got kicked out after getting scolded by her.

She said I wasn't even a mother to her.

I am so heartbroken.

Do you know what I regret the most in my life?

What, Your Majesty?

Touching you seven years ago.

You are not a woman to me.

You weren't then, and you aren't now.

And you never will be.

Your Majesty.

Don't you pity me?

You are Ari's birth mom.

That is your life, nothing more.

You'll regret looking down on me like this.

You see, I know much more...

than you think I do.

(Day of Incident 4:30am)

Grandmother.

Did you just try to kill me?

I saw everything, Your Majesty.

If you do this, we'll have to be enemies.

Here.

Go.

This way, please.

What's going on? Do you have a guest?

It's nothing.

Anyway, have you gotten rid of Yu Ra properly?

Naturally.

I took care of it, so there's no need to worry.

Then we just need to get rid of Sunny.

Pardon?

She framed your mother for murder.

We can't just let her be.

Let's trust Chief Chun and wait.

He seems to be proceeding well as planned.

It won't look good for you to get involved now.

The palace workers are already saying you're the killer.

I never said I'd kill the Empress.

No need to be so startled.

Just watch what your mother does.

Hello. Today, it isn't "Good Morning, Empress,"

but "Good Evening, Empress."

I rushed over to make an important announcement.

- Retirement? - Are you pregnant?

- What is it? - Are you just baiting us?

I plan to share with you...

conclusive evidence that I did not kill the Grand Empress Dowager.

I'll connect with a witness over the phone who will...

clear my name.

This is that person.

This is probably a lie. The Empress that cried wolf.

How can we trust the Empress?

She must have paid someone off.

Let's listen first. We can complain later.

- Hello? - Ha Cheong Dan?

I'm Empress Oh Sunny.

We met yesterday, right?

How do you feel?

I'm not Ha Cheong Dan.

I'm Lee Hyun Joo. We worked together.

Lee Hyun Joo?

From the musical, "Magpie"?

How could you stop calling once you married the Emperor?

I was hurt.

Why are you...

What...

I called to share some information with everyone.

Sunny borrowed 10,000 dollars from me before she got married,

but the Empress Dowager paid it back for her.

You see, she even borrowed from a loan shark...

because her family was so poor.

Hey. Hyun Joo. What are you talking about?

Why would the Empress Dowager...

Empress is in debt.

What a filial daughter.

The Empress is from my neighborhood. It's true, they're mad poor.

What? She paid off her in-laws' debt...

and upgraded her identity?

Our poor Sunny went through a lot of struggles...

because her dad was so famous...

for being neck-deep in debt and shameless.

May I go now?

Yes. Good job.

Let me know if you know any other good information about the Empress.

See you again.

Why did you have to do this silly little show?

I've contacted...

newspapers and portals to spread the story widely.

Hire as many part-timers as you can to post comments.

Sunny married the Emperor for his money.

What happened to the Empress' scandal?

The cheating Empress.

I pity the Emperor.

Are they really happily married?

Do they really get along?

Please stop.

I'm fine with you saying things about me,

but please don't talk about my family.

You don't know anything.

It's because she had no mom.

It's so obvious she wasn't raised properly.

I'm too scared to talk.

The Empress' mom only suffered in that household...

and died unnaturally 10 years ago.

I heard she dropped dead from rage.

I'll stop the broadcast for today.

Sunny!

(Like father, like daughter)

My Empress, what's wrong?

Hold on.

(Is that the Emperor?)

Hey.

There are still people saying these ridiculous things.

My Empress and I get along well.

Please stop with these comments based on your own speculations.

My Empress has a tender heart.

If she cries again tonight,

- I have to comfort her all night. - I guess it's not an act.

They look so lovey-dovey.

Spring came early there.

I'm mad jealous.

I shouldn't have watched. I'm lonelier now.

Enough with the broadcast.

Sunny.

Play with me tonight.

Come on, Sunny!

Your Majesty, what are you thinking?

Why did you protect Sunny? Why?

Don't tell me...

What are you doing?

Who said you could come into my room?

You have a knack for saying, "Thank you," in unusual ways.

I saved you.

You're being too prickly.

What gibberish.

I don't need your help.

Get out.

If you're thankful, why don't you make me some instant coffee?

Why would I have coffee with you?

Don't be angry!

I want...

to get along with you.

Have you gone mad?

Whom are you trying to kill this time?

Get out now.

Happy? Please go.

- Get out of my face! - I will do so.

What are you trying to do?

I don't think rumors about us being unhappy...

would help the Imperial Family's image.

This is a necessary step for divorcing her anyway.

I don't want to divorce her yet.

Why not?

You even tried to kill her.

The wine is going straight to my head.

I'm going to bed. Good night.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Follow him closely and find out what's going on.

Mom.

Mom.

I'm sorry, Mom.

It's me.

I came too late, didn't I?

Mom...

Mom, you easily get cold.

You hate the dark too.

Mother.

Are you planning to ride the motorcycle at this hour?

On top of that, you're drunk.

I was just frustrated.

I'm going to get some fresh air.

No.

What if you get in an accident like before?

I won't. I made a mistake then.

If it weren't for me,

you would've been dead 10 years ago.

Have you forgotten?

How could you let him ride the motorcycle?

He's about to ascend to the throne. How could this happen?

I'm sorry, Your Highness.

Get all the competent doctors to operate on the Prince.

You must save him no matter what!

Yes.

What are you saying now?

You're out of blood for the Prince?

The Prince's blood type is rare.

I did call other nearby hospitals, but we have no time to wait.

The bleeding is severe.

You must get the blood by all means.

Fly a helicopter or steal it. Do something.

Actually, we just received blood bags...

for RH- AB.

That blood was meant for another patient.

How dare you tell me that?

How could you think that patient is an equal to the Prince?

I don't care if the other patient dies or not.

Get that blood now, and save my prince first!

I will be more than generous to pay for it.

Yes, I understand.

After going through such an ordeal,

will you still make me worry?

It took so much for you to become the Emperor.

Why would you do anything to risk that?

Perhaps, I should've been dead that day.

There isn't a thing I can do of my own free will!

You cannot die.

To maintain the palace,

you are my only puppet.

I thought you got the blood.

You told me that you could save my mom only seconds ago.

Well...

Unfortunately, we missed our chance to operate.

There was nothing we could do.

Honey. Oh, honey.

No, Mom.

- Honey! - No!

- I must go see my mom. - This can't be.

- You said you got the blood! - Mom...

Save my mom!

Let go of me. Stop it.

No, Mom! Mom, no!

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

What did you dream about?
