Take him down!

Drop it!

- Throw it on the ground! - Come on, drop it!

Push back!

Drop it!

Drop it!

- Good work. - Once again!

Once again.

Once again!

Can I fight you one more time?

Yes, you can.

Use all your strength this time.

Good.

- Come on! - Come on!

Drop it!

Use your feet.

Your feet.

Drop it!

- Come on! - Come on!

He deliberately gave in, right?

He's not the type of person who gives in.

He is less strong.

I knew your power was extraordinary.

- Want to try again? - Okay.

- Drop it! - Drop it!

- Good. - Drop it!

Come on, drop it!

THE QUEEN WHO CROWNS: BEFORE SUNRISE

Ouch, it hurts.

How many times do I have to tell you? if you are not strong enough?

There's no way you can beat him a man that big.

It's been a long time since we were alone like this.

I love being in the sun.

My father...

...want to give us grain.

- My wife. - King...

...freeze all available treasures.

So, we can't give barley seeds. to the soldiers in the new year.

We have to give they are something when Dano.

We give according to our ability.

My soldiers serve me loyally.

Loyalty in words has no power.

Loyalty without reward won't last long.

Add a little more.

Furthermore.

- Come here. - Good grief.

Give it to me.

Hold this.

Enough, right?

Here.

That's too much.

Furthermore.

Chae Ryeong is very agile.

But, I'm worried our grains are not enough.

You have so many soldiers.

Convey my thanks to Dad.

You are.

We help him, but have to be careful around him?

I've said it many times if his ego is high.

You think I don't have an ego?

Isn't that Mr. Ha Ryun?

This is surichwi cake.

Please try it.

So?

Gather more soldiers stealthily.

I think we better get ready.

Is there any movement?

Jeong Do Jeon meets with the Queen every day.

This is suspicious.

What are they really planning?

Are there any palace people? who can help us?

We have to know their plans so that we can be on guard.

Young Sil.

A girl named Young Sil is the Queen's main lady-in-waiting.

I can do anything if it is for your own good.

You just need to find out...

...what Jeong Do Jeon and the Queen talk about when we meet.

Good.

I will do it.

Take this.

You don't regret marrying me?

What do you mean?

If at that time you were married with Yeongyeongun...

My husband.

...you can move to the Ming Dynasty and become part of their empire.

He was just a man from a ruined dynasty.

If you marry him...

...Goryeo will not be destroyed.

What do you mean?

Everyone says I the greatest man in Joseon.

But, wasn't it you who made me? become like this?

After killing Jeong Mong Ju...

...I think of you when swinging the sword like a madman.

I think about what that I can achieve with you.

However...

Now I'm scared thinking about when I die.

I become a man the weak and pathetic.

We must not waste this beautiful season.

What if we go take a few days off...

...to get some fresh air?

Q&A WITH KING JESEON AND MENCIUS

This book...

...contains a summary of the conversation between Mencius and King Jeseon.

Q&A WITH KING JESEON AND MENCIUS

Why did you give me this book?

So that you don't forget our dreams.

How to be a king.

A book about royal politics.

But this is a forbidden book for me.

There's no one to see here.

Why still call it forbidden?

I'll buy some food around here.

Okay.

Buy food at the soup kitchen.

Good.

Mrs.

Aren't you Lady Seo from Daejeon?

What? Dayang?

Palace maid?

Are you sure she's a palace maid?

If the palace lady gave birth here...

No. That would cause problems.

Get out of this temple right now.

Please help me.

I prayed and asked Buddha so that me and my baby are safe.

- So please... - Then, his father...

Oh my gosh. I might get kicked out too.

Hurry up and go! Get out of here!

Wait.

I know this woman.

But still...

...if this problem spreads...

You can keep this a secret.

You're right but...

What if the Chief Monk finds out?

I will explain to him.

Okay, if you insist.

- Thank You. - Yes.

Good grief.

I won't ask your reasons.

Give birth to a healthy baby.

Mrs.

Thank You.

Please take good care of him.

Isn't that one of the teachings of Buddha?

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Ha Ryun suggested to collect...

...more soldiers and train them secretly.

It seems the King appointed Jeong Do Jeon...

...in the highest military forces.

That means they want control all the soldiers.

After forming the troops,

we will be attacked without being able to put up any resistance.

Because of that...

...I want to sell our house.

- Older brother. - Older brother.

My wife.

We need money to manage the soldiers.

Older brother.

To be honest, the house is not yours.

- It belongs to Dad. - Do not interfere.

Don't sell the house.

Wouldn't Dad give me the house?

Excuse me.

We won't sell it.

Promise me that...

...you won't sell the house.

I promise, Dad.

In that case, I will lend you the wealth I have.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Father.

From Gaegyeong to now,

...we have to sell many houses because of him.

That...

I will pay for it.

You know me.

We've gone too far.

Your future sister-in-law...

...is the future of our family.

You must be hurt because of what my younger siblings said.

They were also exiled from an important position in the king's palace.

- So they... - I understand their feelings.

But why...

...you said you wanted to sell the house without discussing it with me?

- Even though it was Dad who gave it... - If we discuss it...

...would you agree?

You must have forbidden me.

"Trust my soldiers."

"They will serve me."

It seems that I am very sad in your eyes.

- What? - They say I'm the greatest man in Joseon,

but my life is like this.

Life is filled with fear because Queen and Jeong Do Jeon...

...might come to kill me.

So, without the help of my wife...

Why are you talking like we're not family?

Forgive me.

I know you are stressed and suffering from various problems.

- But... - I want you to promise me one thing.

Even if it's just a small problem...

...talk everything to me.

Good.

I promise.

Please log in first.

Have you given birth?

Yes, thanks to your help.

They are willing to raise my son at the temple.

So, I went back to the palace.

I'm pleased to hear it.

What's going on at this time of night?

Young Sil is taken to the queen's palace.

I think it has something to do with it. with the Madam's family.

What?

Her Majesty the Queen.

This girl is spying on me on Jeong An Gun's orders.

JEONG AN GUN: LEE BANG WON'S TITLE WHEN STILL A PRINCE

Weren't you the one who gave him this?

I did give it to him...

...but we didn't tell him to spying on you.

What a rude person.

He already admitted it.

It must be because he couldn't stand being whipped.

What did you say?

If he said that...

...he gave a false confession because he couldn't stand being whipped.

Hard to believe.

What are you afraid of? to do this?

Do you...

...want to die?

Before I die at the hands of the Queen...

...let me ask you one thing.

Father hates Jeong An Gun, who is his biological child.

So therefore,

he tried to take all the power owned by Jeong An Gun.

I thought about this for a while.

Since when did he think...

...to kill Jeong Mong Ju.

Kill Jeong Mong Ju...

...with your own hands.

After that...

...I will support you...

...as king after your father.

EMPRESS SHINDEOK LEE SEONG GYE'S SECOND WIFE,

LEE BANG WON'S STEPMOTHER

I want to tell you the fact to Father.

This woman!

The person who ordered the killing Jeong Mong Ju is you.

Because of that,

stop your hatred for Jeong An Gun.

What would you do?

Oh.

- Have you arrived? - Yes.

Mrs.

I...

I didn't say anything to the Queen.

I mean it.

Yes.

Okay.

Come on in.

My wife.

My wife, what happened?

Your Honour.

Chae Ryeong.

Bring him in.

Good.

So,

The queen who ordered to kill Jeong Mong Ju...

...and who killed him is Jeong An Gun.

Is that what you want to say?

- Yes. - My wife.

You think people don't say that because they don't know?

There is a reason for everything.

When those words came out...

...there will be one person who must die...

...between the Queen and the person who said that.

The Queen will not let you just like that.

He will shut your mouth no matter how.

- If he sends an assassin... - If not so...

...Young Sil...

...will not be able to leave the palace.

If not so...

...I won't be able to save you.

Even if I rule the world, everything is meaningless...

...if I lose you.

I will definitely find a solution for this problem.

So never again,

act recklessly alone.

Promise me.

Good.

The Queen's son-in-law has acted impolitely.

Please forgive him.

She hates her mother-in-law...

...what can I say?

Her Majesty the Queen.

Go.

Before I heard You forgive him...

...I won't go.

At least your family should be safe.

There is still a way to live.

Want me to tell you?

Crown Prince,

come here.

Position of Crown Prince,

stolen by my son, Bang Seok.

I know you think so.

No.

No, yeah.

In that case...

...will you swear allegiance? to the Crown Prince?

Me, Jeong An Gun, Lee Bang Won...

...swearing loyalty...

...to the Crown Prince.

There is a saying that words are the easiest thing in the world.

Swear by prostrating yourself.

Her Majesty the Queen.

Why?

Can't you do it?

Promise me you won't hurt...

...people around me.

Did something happen?

Your face doesn't look good.

There isn't anything.

But...

...what makes you in a hurry to send a message?

He said...

...His Majesty the King will confiscate all Jeoljesa weapons.

What?

The soldiers already have confidence what they want to get from Jeoljesa.

So there is a limit to mastering them.

But, if weapons are confiscated...

...they can't use any power.

Eventually, everything they had was taken away...

...and he will stop and kill me slowly.

What happens if not surrendering weapons?

There is no other way...

...because this is His Majesty's order.

But if I insist not handing it over?

You will break the order and must die.

The soldiers will definitely catch you.

Isn't that the same as ask me to die?

Jeong An Gun.

They were both away.

Your Honour.

Brother-in-law.

Are you letting go of this house?

What do you mean?

I heard the author came too.

But why do you pretend not to know?

Your sister-in-law doesn't know about that.

That was my doing.

I promised Dad that I will not sell it.

This has been approved by Father.

After all, it's the house that was passed down to me.

This is not something that should be you worry about.

My wife.

You must be tired.

Come in first.

My wife.

This is a problem I need to talk about with my younger siblings.

Young Sil.

Your Honour.

Now...

...brother destroyed our family.

- What did you say? - You throw away wealth,

and also blocking our way.

Plus what's happening in the world lately.

This marriage,

it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

It's better for you two to get a divorce.

Do it now so that we can get out of this problem.

Brother in law is nothing compared to you.

Your Honour.

Even now I can find you another husband.

Older brother.

Once again you insult Jeong An Gun...

...when that happened...

...I will break off the relationship with you guys.

Older brother.

Don't be too surprised after hear my words now.

Let's end it...

...our relationship ends here.

Did you hear what my brothers said?

Yes.

But not because of that.

In that case?

I know you better from anyone in this world.

You are...

...a person who would die for me.

I'm afraid of that.

I'm scared...

...my love kills you.

My husband.

It seems...

...Queen and Sambong did the driving Father's heart.

Not only soldiers...

...they also seized weapons.

I can't take it.

I will fight until the end of my life.

But if I die like that,

You...

...your family...

...and most importantly, our children, will die too.

So...

...if we end our relationship...

You are being selfish.

How can you think of dying? leave your family?

My wife.

If asked to surrender weapons...

...then hand it over.

What do you mean?

Come here.

What is all this?

I heard they're going to collect soldiers and weapons of the princes.

So, this is it?

The weapons I prepared secretly.

When the time comes,

this is the power you must use.

"I am truly grateful you prepared this...

...secretly."

"Thank You."

Should I thank you? like this?

My husband.

I always wanted,

walking in the same steps with you.

But you...

...always walk one step at a time in front of leaving me.

This is...

...the way I love you.

This is...

...the way I love you.
