01x39 & 01x40 - The Empress Regains Control of the Palace/The Prime Minister Loses His Edge

[bunniefuu]

Her Majesty just collapsed.

Why are you looking for my woman?

I heard Her Majesty collapsed.

Since when did you betray me,

U-bin?

I said, since when did you betray me?

I will tell you everything honestly.

Please let the guards leave, Your Majesty.

Leave.

Now tell me. How do you really feel

about My Empress?

I like

her.

What?

How can you do that?

You're like my brother,
the only one I trust.

How can you betray me like this?

If you like her at all,

you should let her go.

You can never

make Her Majesty happy.

Are you crazy?

Do you really want to die today?

Why do you provoke me like this?

I felt bad for her

because she never had a peaceful day
ever since she married you.

She could never sleep well
because she was nervous

either you or the Empress Dowager
were always after her life.

You already know that too, Your Majesty.

That's why I'm going to be good
from now on.

I'm going to protect her!

How can you say that
after what just happened to her?

The Empress Dowager won't stop.

As long as Her Majesty
lives in the palace as your woman,

this fight won't end.

Her Majesty's life is in danger!

Shut up!

If you say another word,
I'll sh**t your head.

This is my last warning for you
as your older brother.

You can't k*ll me

right now anyway.

You cheeky jerk.

Why? Do you think I can't sh**t?

This is blackmail from Na Wang-sik.

He said he'll come for your head

on the 10th celebration
of your regnal day.

Let me give his life to you.

It won't be too late

to k*ll me after I do that.

That's the last present I could give you
as the chief imperial guard.

That is also

my real wish.

It's like

the calm before the storm.

Lee Hyeok and the Empress Dowager

have completely turned against each other.

Who do you think

the Empress Dowager is
trying to enthrone in Lee Hyeok's place?

Mr. Byeon.

Is something going on with Chief Cheon?

He suddenly began to talk much less,
seeming angry and odd.

Do you know anything?

He told me not to tell you,

but you should know.

What is it?

He's going to die.

He has three months at the most.

But he's only worried about you
even in this situation.

That idiot.

Mr. Na.

Don't worry about me.

I'm going to fight them to the end
for your sake too.

I'll make sure
I keep my promise to protect you.

An official notice
from the Board of Imperial Inspection?

What is it about?

Well...

Nothing can surprise me anymore.

It's all right. Tell me.

They unanimously passed a bill
to privatize the Imperial Construction

to hold you responsible
for faking the Empress's scandal.

What?

How dare they privatize
my precious Imperial Construction?

Damn it.

They expect me to give out my money?

What did I ever do so wrong?

On top of that,

they ordered you to do
200 hours of community service.

Community service?

What kind of nonsense is this?

How can I do something like that?

I'm the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager!

If you do not serve, the Inspection Board
will execute it forcibly.

That's not enough.

Ms. Choe, who let that thing in?

I don't want her around. Get rid of her!

Please leave, Your Majesty.

This isn't a place for you.

You're like a thug now.

You didn't know?

I was the thug of the stage.

You must be proud.

I'll cut to the chase.

I looked for the attorney
who wrote Grandmother's will,

and you had already sent him to the U.S.

I commend you for your big ideas.

I'm doing my best to look for him too.

Once I find him,
we should all have tea together.

I want to know
how you fabricated her will.

Did you decide to do
whatever you please now?

I know you're from
an ignorant and lowly family,

-but I'm your mother-in-law--
-Yes.

Why should I act innocent at this point?

I'm going to get compensated
for everything you did.

I'm sick and tired of
receiving verbal apologies.

But I remember

there was a patient
who was supposed to get that blood.

Did that cause any trouble later?

You don't have to worry about that.

I already took care of that
without the knowledge of her family.

Then

what happened to that patient?

She died.

She had no money or connections.

Many people die a useless death...

You pretended like
you care for our people,

as if the Imperial House is
nothing but graceful,

but you cut in line
to take someone's blood.

What do you think will happen
if the world finds out

that you think so lowly about the people?

On top of that, you planted a b*mb
on our bazaar item,

broke the car brakes,

and tried to k*ll the Empress
of this country a number of times.

Should I expose everything?

What do you want?

First off, give me back what was mine.

Restore my control over the court ladies.

Grandmother handed me that authority,
didn't she?

Fine, let's do that.

Oh, and one more thing.

It has been forever since I got married.

You should hand me the keys to our assets.

Give me the authority over
the Imperial House's finances too.

How can I trust you with our finances?

Have you gone insane?
I can't give you that.

But I remember

there was a patient
who was supposed to get that blood.

What should I do?

You can have it. Fine.

I'll hand it over, okay?

Why did you want to come here?

I have so many books to read today.

Your Highness,
do you know what this building is?

It's a cafe.

That's a building that holds 100 years
worth of the Imperial Group's history.

Korea's first corporation was
established here.

It's now being used as a landmark
of the Imperial Shopping Center.

The shopping center will be yours soon,

so keep your eyes on it.

-The shopping center will be mine?
-Of course.

So you must overcome any hardships.

Okay?

You're here.

My Bin.

Why did you call me out so early?
And you made a reservation too?

Is this a proposal?

Did you finally make your decision?

-Then we can--
-I want to break up with you.

Did I do something wrong?

No, I'm the jerk.

I did something
I shouldn't have done to you.

I'm truly sorry.

Don't leave me, Bin.

I'll be good to you, okay?

I can't do that. We have to end it here.

No! I can't break up with you.

If you break up with me,

I'll go k*ll myself. Do whatever you want!

I'm so sorry.

Bin, no. Don't go. My Bin!

Move aside immediately!

What brings you here, Your Majesty?

What do you mean?

There's no reason to starve her
and make her study.

I'm feeding her well enough.
You don't have to worry.

She can't eat while she's reading.

What if she gets sick?

It's okay. I feel more at ease
to eat like this, Mother.

Princess.

As soon as she gets pregnant,

you'll be nothing but a third wheel.

That's how things are
if she isn't your biological mother.

I have to finish reading this book
by this afternoon. I have no time.

Princess. This isn't good.

Mother, don't you want me to be smarter?

I'm a girl with huge potential.

I can't play with elastic strings

and bubble wraps as you suggested!

I want you to grow up into a smart woman.

But you cannot become any smarter or wiser

by reading these difficult books
at your age.

You should be out there playing,

not sitting in this room studying
as if you have a bar exam to pass.

I'm taking these books away.

Mother, what is with you?

You're always welcome to eat with me.

I'll be waiting.

Stop playing games with her.

Do you really plan on ruining her?

You should be ashamed as her mom.

You never gave birth to a child, have you?

Have you cried through the night
with your kid who's burning with fever?

Then how can you say
you love her more than I do?

I never gave birth to a child
or looked after a child all night long.

But I know what parents do wrong
to raise their children as a monster.

I will not condone
my daughter turning into a monster

because of these books.

My Empress!

My Empress?

You're up.

You looked like a beautiful painting,

so I couldn't stop myself from staring,

then I spent all night up.

I'm going to stick right next to you
like a real married couple.

What are those?

-What are you doing here?
-My goodness.

My Empress.

I prepared some matching items.

What do you think?

I'll put these away if you don't like it.

Leave them there.

Is there anything else
you want to do with me?

Of course!

We haven't been together
despite the fact that we're married.

So you know,

we can spend

the night together tonight.

Sure.

Come to my place tonight, Your Majesty.

Really?

Goodness, okay. Then I have to get ready.

I'll see you tonight, My Empress.

Let's have a very long talk tonight,
Lee Hyeok.

I look forward to it.

I don't need you anymore.
I found your brother.

It would've been better
if you told me earlier.

Bad news for you.
Wang-sik is almost as good as dead.

What are you talking about?
I saw him yesterday too.

He looked fine.

You saw him yesterday?

Yet you lied to me
and said you never saw him?

You just k*lled your brother.
Do you understand?

You'll never see him again.

No, he can't die. Please let him live.

What am I going to do?

No...

Yes, hurry up and go find Wang-sik.

Goodness, where are you hiding?

You said you'll save me.

-Hey, can you give it to me?
-What's "it"?

Let me use your phone!

Here.

Please don't do this.

You already gave us a lot last time.

It's not from me.

I'm only giving back
what the Imperial House took from you.

Let's think of our family
and hold out to the end.

Okay?

Wang-sik! Wang-sik, are you okay?

Dong-sik?

I heard you're almost as good as dead.

Did you get hurt? Are you all right?

What are you talking about? Who said that?

Where are you?

Wang-sik! Run!

Min Yu-ra.

Dong-sik.

Do you think I'm a joke? You little!

I'm sorry, Yu-ra. I'm sorry.

I lost him because of you!

What are you doing to that boy?

Are you all right?

Come on. Get up.

Is this the way you treat a boy

that the Empress Dowager is sponsoring?

This is none of your business,
Your Majesty.

This is Princess A-ri's phone.

Why do you have this?

Give it to me.

CALL HISTORY

DELETE

Can you give this to Princess A-ri?

Stop right there!

Will you please mind your own business?

What's with your language?

Do you still think
you're the chief assistant?

You're nothing but a shell, Empress.

Don't try to sound so serious.

You should play your part and leave
the palace while you're still alive.

I tried to be nice to you,
but you make me infuriated.

Haven't you heard the rumor
about my awful temper?

I have a bad habit

of trampling all over
someone who's less than a human.

What are you looking at?
What can you do by glaring at me?

He's Na Wang-sik's brother, isn't he?

Why are you so shocked?

You called him Dong-sik.

And he called you by your name.
It was too obvious.

What if His Majesty finds out
that you came up with a lie

saying he's a sponsored child
to let him into the palace?

What do you think will happen to you?

Oh, His Majesty told me
a few things about Na Wang-sik.

How can you treat
the son of a lady who raised you

with such disrespect?

You returned good with evil.

You shouldn't be treated like a human.

What do you have to do with Na Wang-sik?

I guess you decided to
come out as his side.

I really want to know
why you're doing this to me.

What's with you? What are you doing?

-Let me go!
-Court Lady Min Yu-ra

committed the crime
of demeaning the Imperial House

by harming a precious guest
who was invited here.

Therefore, Min Yu-ra is dismissed

as a court lady for the Empress Dowager
starting today.

Do you have such authority?

How dare you show such disrespect?

The Empress Dowager entrusted Her Majesty

with authority over court ladies
and the finances of the Imperial House.

That can't be true.

What should we do, Your Majesty?

Should we lock her up immediately?

The prison is too good for her.

You should teach her a lesson
and kick her out.

Of course, I should hold her responsible.

However,

I believe it's my duty as an empress
to embrace

someone who has a serious flaw.

I appoint Min Yu-ra as a court lady
for the Empress as of this moment.

I don't want to.
Why should I work for you...

I will keep you close

and correct all of your wrong behaviors
from now on.

I believe that's what I can do
as a graceful empress.

What's going on, Princess So-jin?

My goodness.

Wait.

Okay, put your legs in.

And your arms.

We're going to talk about something
extremely complicated starting now.

Not as an empress and a princess,
but as two women.

But don't worry.

Your head will clear up
if you hear me out on that chair.

What is it?

I want you to give me an honest answer.

Empress, what's going on
between you and My Bin?

Pardon?

What's your relationship with Chief Cheon?

-Nothing.
-Really?

Nothing?

Okay, I knew that would be the case.

You're a married woman.

I knew you wouldn't do anything
with Chief Cheon.

But there was that scandal.

And I can't explain why
Bin is pushing me away like this.

This is driving me insane.

Then you have to make sure
nothing happens in the future either.

-If you don't...
-Princess So-jin.

I gave you my warning.

If I ever see you two looking too close,

I'm going to destroy you

and Bin.

Enough.

Next, you have to wipe the display glass.

How much longer do I have to do this?
Isn't this enough?

Let's stop already.

Enough.

-I found her!
-There she is!

Hey, come over here. We found her.

Okay, start sh**ting.

What is this?
What brings you here, Mr. Oh?

I couldn't pass on an event like this,
and I had to air this live.

So I brought all of my friends.

Wait, I hope you aren't going home
after doing that much.

No, I was taking a break.

Rag!

Okay, good. She took the rag.

-Take pictures.
-She's really cleaning?

Take pictures of the...

-Get her!
-She's leaving!

Get her! Get her!

I found you! Come on, take the pictures.

Come on, take it.
Take pictures of her cleaning.

Yes, that's it.
I can totally tell this is your first time

cleaning with a rag.
You're making a half-hearted effort.

She's making the case dirtier.
Hey, upload it live right now.

-Where's the stopwatch? Yes, take it.
-Over here!

-Go.
-Should I begin now?

I don't want it!

How did that scoundrel find me here?

Get ready to go back.

You have about 40 minutes left.

No one keeps the exact time anyway.

I've done enough.

I worked too hard
because he was out there with a stopwatch.

Let's go back.

EMPRESS DOWAGER'S VOLUNTEER WORK
STREAMING LIVE

I knew it.

Goodness!

What is this? Why were you there?

I'm Oh Hello,
streaming live in my sister's place.

Look at this.
She doesn't regret anything she did.

Isn't this how the powerful pretend
their way through their punishment?

Ms. Choe, turn that off!

Hey, forget it.

Everyone. Everyone?
This is all just a misunderstanding.

I was... I was about to go right now. Rag!

I can't believe she tried to
cut volunteering of all things.

I hate the Empress Dowager.
That museum is in my town.

I'm heading over to watch her.

Those darned Crazy Ohs. I'll destroy them.

Why is this here?

This celadon should be in the palace.

DONATED BY NA WANG-SIK

"Na Wang-sik"?

Na Wang-sik?

Gosh, darn it.

Goodness.

The other one.

-Which one suits me better?
-They all look great.

I know that already!

That's why I'm always troubled.

Everything looks too good on me.

Everyone, leave the room.

You must be quite angry
because of your volunteer work.

Who is this Na Wang-sik?

Why do you bring him up again?

We've only seen
Goryeo celadon in documents,

but we can now see it in real life
in a museum.

It was made possible
thanks to a goodwill donor.

We only know the donor's name,
Na Wang-sik.

He's receiving as much attention
as this celadon right now.

It's that one, isn't it?

The Goryeo celadon
I gave you as a present.

Do you know how hard it was to get that?

I told you to store it well
with extra security.

How did that end up getting donated
to a museum in Na Wang-sik's name?

Do you know how much that's worth?

Min Yu-ra stole that from my secret safe.

Are you saying she stole it
and gave it to him?

I swear. I didn't touch that safe.

If I stole it,
I wouldn't be here looking like this.

Then did Na Wang-sik come in
and steal it himself

in my bedroom?

If he got a hold of your fingerprint
or mine, it's not impossible.

There's someone who's helping him
in the Imperial House.

Who is it?

Chief Cheon U-bin.

I'm suspicious of him.

That again?
What's your ground for that accusation?

This is

a badge I gave him
on the day of his appointment.

Someone found it in the palace
and brought it to me.

Are you saying he lost
this chief's badge that I gave him?

You should find out the details yourself.

Don't trust him too much, Your Majesty.

It's my final advice
for our old time's sake.

How dare you say that?

Stop talking nonsense.

Will you let her keep doing this to you?

What about your promise

to enthrone Princess A-ri
as the Empress Regnant?

My promise?

Things will never work out at this point

because of your carelessness.

Oh Sunny already knows everything!

I can't believe how talkative you are.
How can I trust you with anything?

I'll manage that.

Get started with Prince Yoon's deposal.

Wait, it doesn't look like

you want to make
Princess A-ri into an empress regnant.

You're after my position.

Go stick around somewhere
until I patch up everything.

What are you doing? Get lost.

Do you finally get it?

I'll be the Empress Regent, not you.

Princess A-ri is my daughter.

I may be in a mess right now,

but how dare she covet after this?

Room 3613.

I can't just put my trust
in the Empress Dowager.

Please turn in this testimony
to the Board of Imperial Inspection.

What is this?

It's my testimony that I saw
Lee Hyeok k*ll Empress So-hyeon.

Is that true?

Yes.

I didn't have the courage to tell
because he's Princes A-ri's father,

but I saw him.

However, you have to protect my anonymity.

Once the entire country believes
Lee Hyeok k*lled her

thanks to this recording,

he'll have to step down from his throne.

Then we can crown A-ri
as a crown princess immediately.

But Prince Yoon is still around.

Don't worry.

We can say he wanted to take the throne

by using his sister-in-law's death.

That'll be the end of him too.

I'll stop the evaluation

for his qualification in any way I can.

You have my full trust.

Come in.

Did you call for me?

Yes. That badge.

Is that the one I gave you
when you were appointed?

Yes, it is.

-Why do you ask?
-Really?

Is this really the one I gave you?

What about this one?

Then whose unique badge is this
with the golden tiger on it?

I'm sorry. To be honest,

I had lost it. This is a copy.

You lost something I gave you?

Where?

I wasn't sure where,
so I've been looking for it.

I couldn't tell you or make an excuse

because I dared to lose
something you gave me, Your Majesty.

I apologize.

U-bin.

I hope your loyalty to me isn't fake.

I will be sleeping at the Empress's Hall.

I don't need any bodyguards.

-You may leave.
-Yes, Your Majesty.

What a sight.

Your... Your Majesty.

I didn't know you were in
such a relationship with Ms. Seo.

You took your position

by using your sick wife
as a part of your story.

What do you think you're doing?

May I send

a video of your affair
to your wife who's in the hospital?

She'll be greatly shocked,

but she should know
that her husband is human garbage.

Don't you think so?

Please tell me what you want.

I knew we would speak the same language.

You're a man of ambition, Prime Minister.

I don't want to see the world
that Seo g*ng-hui wants to make.

So do not lay a finger
on Crown Prince Yoon.

If you do, you'll lose your job
before he gets deposed.

What? Why are you here?

Haven't you heard?

Her Majesty appointed me

to serve her on her order.

My Empress?

I don't want to see you here.
Go hide somewhere in a corner.

Further. Go further!

Into the corner! Go to the corner!

I can't miss out on this show.

You're here, Your Majesty.

Why did I never realize

how beautiful you are?

I can't bear such language
in my sober mind.

I need to be a little tipsy for that.

Take a seat.

Okay, then.
Should we take some Love Shots?

Sounds great.

No, that's not how you do it.

You taught me last time.

Come.

All right.

You make such good poktanju .

Okay.

Cheers!

My Empress.

Should we play a game? The king game?

Two people can't play that.

I want to play truth or dare.

What do you want to know about me?

There's something I'm dying to know.

Who k*lled Grandmother?

Empress!

You know everything.

I need to know that

to truly get closer to you.

Then why can't you tell me the truth?

Wait, did you do it?

No! I'm falsely blamed for this.

I didn't do this, Sunny.

-Really?
-I'm telling you.

I saw it. I saw who k*lled her!

Really?

You saw the real culprit?

I saw the one

who poisoned your lunch box.

If that person tried to blame you,

that person has to be the culprit.

Otherwise,
why would they try to blame you?

Who was it?

My mother.

-What?
-Mother put poison

over the lunch box you made.

Then

Min Yu-ra's testimony was
actually what you saw?

You're right.

I told you the truth,

so give me a reward.

Of course.

You told me something so valuable.

Sunny?

The Empress Dowager

k*lled Grandmother?

Yes, run off and tell her everything.

That's why I left you here.

Why is it so cold in here?
Is the heating system broken?

Well, it was Her Majesty's order.

I can't keep the heating
as high as before.

She must be very excited
to have all the power

over our finances.

What is this?

Her Majesty sent it to you,
so I left it there.

"These will keep the room warm
if you put these on the window"?

Oh Sunny.

How dare you humiliate me?

I will make sure

I destroy that brat for good.

I will suck life out of you!

Your Highness.

What brings you here this late?

Do you remember the witness I made
to the Empress about you?

That I saw you poison her lunch box.

Have you gone insane
after you went to work for her?

I finally got over that.
Why do you make me angry again?

I actually did that
on His Majesty's order.

-What?
-I just did as he commanded

because he said he'll let me live.

But I had no idea he actually saw you.

I just heard him say it, and it's true.

Was it you who poisoned
the Empress's lunch box?

Shut up.

What are you plotting right now?

I clearly heard His Majesty
confess the truth about that day

to the Empress.

He told her?

He must have gone head over heels for her.

The only one

I can trust and depend on is you,
so don't worry.

I will only talk when I am here.

What in the world did he see?

Thank you for saving Dong-sik yesterday.

I was going to teach
Min Yu-ra a lesson anyway.

Don't mind it.

Have you been eating well
and taking your medicine?

-Are you all right?
-Yes.

What are you two doing?

I was teaching her self-defense.

Self-defense? I can

teach you that too.

Chief Cheon, you're dismissed.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Why did you disappear without a word

after we spent the night together,
My Empress?

You were gone when I woke up,
so I was really worried.

Your Majesty.

Don't my lips look extra-soft today?

Should I just hit him?

Your Majesty, this is bad.

Why? What? What is it?

The Board of Imperial Inspection came
to reinvestigate Empress So-hyeon's case.

Reinvestigate?

What are you talking about?

On the day of Empress So-hyeon's death
seven years ago,

there was a witness
who saw Emperor Lee Hyeok

push Empress So-hyeon into the pond,
and we got a hold of the testimony.

What? Who's the witness?

Who saw me do that?

The witness feels threatened,

so we decided not to disclose

the witness's identity
to the Imperial House.

However, the testimony is in accordance
with Prince Yoon's testimony,

so we believe it is highly credible.

Therefore, we would like
to make this announcement.

"Until the reinvestigation of
Empress So-hyeon's case is over,

all rights and authorities of
Emperor Lee Hyeok will be suspended."

Nonsense. Who says you can do that?

I will not condone this!

Also, the Board of Imperial Inspection

evaluated the qualification
of Crown Prince Yoon

to be the acting Emperor
in place of Emperor Lee Hyeok.

Disqualify him as a crown prince already

and announce Princess A-ri
as a crown princess!

We decided he is a suitable candidate
to be the acting Emperor.

We decided to appoint

Crown Prince Yoon as the acting Emperor.

Welcome, Prince Yoon.
I've been expecting you.

I'm sorry I came too late, Your Majesty.

I heard you stopped Seo g*ng-hui.

This is just the beginning.

We have to disclose the truth behind
Grandmother's death,

Empress So-hyeon's death,
and Kang Ju-seung's disappearance.

I heard His Majesty confessed to you
that Mother poisoned your food.

I'm glad the truth is
slowly beginning to surface.

I hope you will help and support me

now that you have the imperial authority.

I will do my best.

So this is the tiara I'll wear
once I become the Empress Regnant.

Your Majesty, hello.

What did you do wrong, Princess?

Get better soon.

Mother.

Goodness.

Mother...

Princess A-ri, did you eat?

Good morning, Princess.

I made some tteokbokki . Do you want some?

-Mother...
- I miss you.

Where are you going?

I have to see my mother.

No.

You just have to hold out a little longer.
Why can't you do that?

You can't become
the Empress Regnant like this.

No one is helping us out.
We need to pull ourselves together!

No! I'm sick of everything!

Forget about becoming the Empress Regnant.
I miss Mother so much.

I want to play with the elastic string

and eat tteokbokki with her!

And I want to pop bubble wraps!

I'm sick and tired of these books!

Do you not care
if you get kicked out of this palace?

Ms. Seo, you are a really bad person.

The Empress is the only good mother to me.

Move!

Stop calling her your mother all the time!

I'm your mom!

I'm your mom, not Oh Sunny!

You're a smart girl.
How can you be so clueless about that?

How?

My mom?

My mom?

How dare you

sit there?

I made myself clear last time

that I'll take this Emperor's Hall
when I return.

Lee Yoon!

You pretended like you didn't care,
but you were always after this throne.

I will not let you have this seat.

I didn't want to be here.
I hoped you would patch up everything.

You're the one
who lost all of your chances.

You need to admit to your crime
and be punished.

Do not go any lower.

What?

-You jerk!
-Guards!

Have you forgotten?

You are under suspension right now.

The imperial guard will protect me.

I will serve you to the end.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

Will you go against
the Inspection Board's order?

And you're the chief!

Then you must suspend
my authorities as well.

Emperor Lee Hyeok is
the only emperor I will serve.

Did you see that?

You can't be an emperor
just because you put that on.

You need to have people on your side
like I do, get it?

Chief Cheon, let's go.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Welcome back, Prince Yoon.

I mean, Your Majesty.

You look so great in this seat.

Why are you so late?

This should've been your place already.

Mother.

We can't let

the entire Imperial House get destroyed
because of one criminal.

Wait, what are you doing right now?

Is this your way of surviving?

You looked so pathetic

buttering up Yoon, whom you hated so much!

How can you of all people say that?

You're the one who went head over heels
for the Empress you tried to k*ll.

What are you trying to say?

You told her yesterday

that I poisoned her lunch box.

What do you mean?

I never said that.

One of the court ladies
heard you say that while you were drunk.

Will you keep denying it?

I don't remember.

Why did you come up with
such an absurd lie?

Did you want to

get on her good side at my expense?

Go tell the Empress

that it was the alcohol talking.

It's not a lie, though.

I'm sure you know that the best.

What?

I saw you putting in

poison into the Empress's lunch box.

Do you plan on writing a novel
instead of Yoon now?

I can come up with a lie like that, too.

What is this nonsense?

What is this brown spot?

Didn't you get scarred by the poison

when the bottle slipped out of your hand?

Should we check?

People should know
that you framed the Empress.

-Follow me.
-Let me go!

Don't you dare do that.
Do you think I'll let Sunny live?

If you betray me,

I'll get my revenge on Sunny

by a thousandfold, no, ten thousandfold.

If you think you can keep her alive,
you can try to do so.

Why did you ask me to come here?

I thought you should see this.

CHEON U-BIN

Cheon U-bin?

Yes, I found the real Cheon U-bin.

He's the real Cheon U-bin??

Then who's the Cheon U-bin in the palace?

Who is that guy?

Cheon U-bin.

Could he be...

It's all over.

Everything is over.

My throne was taken away.

Mother and Yoon abandoned me.

I have nothing.

Nothing.

Be careful, Your Majesty.

My Empress.

Come here.

Get in.

Wang-sik, don't get hurt.

Don't worry about me and go. Okay?

Go.

Go.

Na Wang-sik. Cheon U-bin.

Cheon U-bin was Na Wang-sik?

It's awfully nice to see you,

Yu-ra.
