01x41 & 01x42 - Gifts From the Emperor/Joo Seung Starts to Remember

Post by bunniefuu »

Come here.

Wang-sik, don't get hurt.

Don't worry about me and go. Okay?

Na Wang-sik. Cheon U-bin.

Cheon U-bin was Na Wang-sik?

Do you finally recognize me?
That's disappointing.

Yes, it's me, Wang-sik.

It's awfully nice to see you,

Yu-ra.

Did you k*ll Mom like this?

What are you talking about?

Lee Hyeok k*lled Mom.

Ma Pil-ju told me everything
before he died.

Lee Hyeok hit her with the car,

but you hit her with a stone first.

What?

Tell me.

Why did you do that?

She treated you so nicely.

How can you do that as a human?

She adored you more than me, her own son.

Then she took in Dong-sik and
brought him up as if he was her son too.

She kept him in her arms

every single night
so you could sleep well.

And you

hit her with a stone?

Tell me.

Why did you do that? Why?

Fine! I'm not a human.

I didn't ask her to be nice.
I didn't ask to be brought up!

Do you... Do you think I was happy?

I despised every single second

that I lived in that house.

Why did that dirt-poor woman
take me in to bring me up?

She couldn't do anything for me!

She should have abandoned me
so that I can grow up

with a rich family.

Who does she think she is
to bring up someone else's kid?

Why?

Is that all you have to say?

If she abandoned me,
we wouldn't be in this awful relationship.

Mom wouldn't have died like that.

And my life would've been
much better than this.

Don't you think so?

She only has herself to blame

for that awful life of hers.

You're sitting
in the palm of my hands now.

-Follow me.
-Let me go.

I'll tell everyone!

Be careful, Your Majesty.

My Empress.

I tried to k*ll you,

and I always made you suffer.

Why did you save me?

You should have just left me to die.

Why?

I don't want you to run away like this.

I want you to disclose everything

and stand before me

and your people with confidence.

Can you do that?

I will be

good to you from now on.

I'll never put you in danger.

Sunny, I'll live for you.

You can't die like that, Lee Hyeok.

You don't deserve to die yet.

Let me go. I'm going to tell everyone
that you're Na Wang-sik!

You'll be k*lled as soon as I speak up.
I'm not going down alone!

Wasn't it enough to run over my mom
many times with a car?

How can you throw her away in this ditch?

Animals fed on her

and insects swarmed all over her body,

so I could only find what's left of her.

If you're a human,

you should have let her go in peace.

To think that
mom was out here cold and lonely

while you were laughing
and living in comfort with Lee Hyeok...

It makes my blood boil
and makes me go crazy.

So what?

I got abandoned
by Lee Hyeok because of you

and have been burnt all over my body.

I look less than a human too.

My life is all over too!

Do you think doing this will
bring back our dead mom?

You're right.

So you should die like her.

Just like how she died.

Go see her

and apologize.

Wang-sik, don't do that.

I don't want such a good kid like you

to do something this awful because of me.

You'll go down

to their level if you do this.

I'm all right,

so don't be so troubled anymore.

Mom...

I'm all right.

Goodness, my child.

Why do you look so skinny now?

Mom...

You're breaking my heart.

Wang-sik, I'm sorry.

But I had no choice back then.

That's the only way
I could survive from Lee Hyeok's grasp.

Wang-sik, you weren't like this.

You weren't.

I came to say my last goodbye.

What are you doing, Ms. Seo?

And why are you all packed up?

You don't need me anymore.

You won't have to hear from me now,
not even about my death.

You can live happily ever after

with your dear Empress.

You said you'll make me
an empress regnant.

Are you breaking your promise?

You can't become the Empress Regnant now.

Her Majesty got rid of
all the possibilities.

What do you mean?

Her Majesty chose

Crown Prince Yoon over you, Your Highness.

And she kicked me out of the palace
and told me not to be greedy.

Everything is over.

So why didn't you listen to me?

I told you many times
that she's not someone who can help you.

She's just a stepmother to you.

I must go now.

Please do not get kicked out like I did.

Don't go. Don't leave me.

I must go.

I'll be good!

I'm sorry for everything,
so stay by my side.

I'll listen to everything you say,

so don't go.

Can you

really keep that promise?

Yes, I can.

Where am I? Na Wang-sik.

Where is he? Na Wang-sik!

Where is he?

Just k*ll me instead.
Where is Na Wang-sik!?

Just... Just k*ll me now!

Na Wang-sik! Where are you?

Na Wang-sik!

Yu... Yu-ra.

Ju-seung?

You were alive?

I heard you found him.
Lee Hyeok's classified patient.

Yes.

Follow me.

KANG JU-SEUNG

KANG JU-SEUNG, MIN YU-RA

KANG JU-SEUNG

Kang Ju-seung?

Wait, could he be...

Yu-ra...

Yu-ra.

Yu-ra!

What are you doing?

What will you do at this point
looking like this

after seven years?

Why did you leave me back then?

Why?

No.

I didn't leave you.

I didn't do that.

I loved you so much.

Do you know how I lived because of you?

Can you imagine
the things that happened to me?

You ruined my life!

My entire life was ruined
for the crime of dating you!

What did you expect me to do alone

after you disappeared without a trace?

If I had found your dead body,

I would have at least given up!

Don't come.

Don't come!

Don't come!

Don't come.

Ju-seung!

What's wrong? Pull yourself together.

Pull yourself together, Ju-seung!

Pull yourself together!

Let me go!

-Get him on the bed. Now.
-No!

No! Stop!

-Hold him down.
-No!

Stop it! Stop!

Min Yu-ra.

Revive Kang Ju-seung's memory.

Don't come!

That's the reason I didn't k*ll you.

You can't leave this place

before you do that.

What? He must be out of his mind.

He's with the Empress
at this point in time?

It looks like
he's head over heels in love with her.

Over my dead body.

I'll make sure
he can't do anything for her

as an emperor or a husband.

You're up.

What are you doing right now?
Why are you vacuuming?

Don't even lift a finger today.

I'll serve you all day today.

What?

As you know, I have nothing to do

because I'm on suspension.

My official schedule today
is to hang out with you.

What kind of nonsense is this?

How can you sit around
and hang out with me in this emergency?

Explain yourself or admit to what you did.

Make a decision like an emperor.

This is the first vacation I get
after years of working hard

as an emperor.

So I hope you can join me
on my vacation as well.

Okay?

Your Majesty,
I just carried out your order.

Really? Did you send only the good ones?

Of course. Do not worry.

Great work.

These are from His Majesty.

What? Why did that b*stard send me these?

Take these back.

I won't accept even a grain of rice
from him. Take all of these back!

I won't hear another word from you.
Take these back!

What's all this money?

What is he trying to do?

He said this should be
enough compensation for you.

He hopes that you would stop mentioning

Ms. Oh's mother's blood transfusion.

My mother's blood transfusion?

What are you talking about?

What... What about my wife?
What are you talking about?

What are you saying?

Ta-da.

What's all this?

Why is there a tent in the palace?

We aren't camping here, are we?

All right, don't say another word
and sit over here, My Empress.

You said you'll do
anything that I want today.

You're so immature.

I'm going to take this off
as soon as we finish eating.

-These are...
-I read your old interview

and told them to make
all of your favorite dishes.

You aren't touched already, are you?

I was shocked
because it wasn't like you, Your Majesty.

Don't call me that.

I'm on suspension right now,

so call me something more casual.
You can call me Hyeok

or honey.

In your dreams.

Okay, while I'm in my dream...

Sunny.

Do you want me to feed you?

I told them to pick out
the best c*ck from Beolgyo.

You're really great,

but you're way too independent.

That's what I love the most.

Okay, now.

Here.

It's like a dream

to sit here with you

and drink instant coffee.

Ever since I was born,

I never had any peace of mind

living as a crown prince,
then as an emperor.

Doesn't it feel like
we're on our honeymoon?

Our honeymoon was canceled

because of the crane accident
at the wedding.

I'm sorry.

It's all because of me.

If only we could go back in time...

There's no delete button in life.

You b*stard!

Let me go. Let go!

-Dad.
-You.

Did you send me this?

Yes, I did. Do you like it, Father?

Oh, really? I'm glad you gave it to me.

Let me know if you need more.
I'll send you another box.

What? What did you say, you jerk?

Is your apology made with money?

What's all this, Dad?

How dare you pay me off to apologize?

Do you think this money
can cover up the dirty things you did?

If it hadn't been for you,
my wife could have lived.

Sunny's mom wouldn't have had to die!

Dad, how did you know?

You told him?

You. You knew?

You knew your mom died
because of this b*stard

yet you sat here eating, drinking coffee,
and conversing with him?

Your mom will cry a river
in the other world if she finds out.

I couldn't tell you.

I knew it would break
your heart and Hello's heart.

Forget everything. Let's go home.

I can't leave you here
with this murderous family!

You need to get divorced right away
for your mom!

-Let's go.
-No, I can't let her go.

Let me go, you jerk.

-You jerk!
-Dad!

-Let me go. You jerk!
-Dad!

Come here. You. Come.

Come here, you jerk.

-Let me go.
-Calm down.

Let me go, all of you!

Take him home

with the utmost respect.

-Let's go.
-Let me go.

Sunny, let's go home. I'm taking you home.

Let's go home. Come home with Dad.

Hurry up and come. Let me go.

Let me go, you jerks.

-Let me go!
-Why did you tell them?

Dad and Hello should have never found out.

I can explain.

I think there's a misunderstanding.

I told you not to mess with my family.

How...

How can you try to cover up
my mother's death with money?

How do you call yourself a human?

If I say I didn't do it,

will you believe me?

No, I can't trust you.

I'm sick of this.

My Empress!

Did you make sure
the money was sent to them by His Majesty?

Of course, Your Highness.

We locked up her father in a warehouse
and are threatening him.

Sunny probably hates him for good now.

If His Majesty won't give up,
I'll have to make her give up.

Dad.

Dad!

What happened? Why are you so late?

Were you in the palace?

Sunny, divorce him quickly
and come back home.

And Hello, quit your job immediately.

Let's just move abroad.

What did Lee Hyeok say to you?

-Tell me, Dad.
-Can't you tell?

He must've been threatened badly
to be out of his mind.

I've had enough of this.

Great work.

Her Highness was greatly satisfied.

Mr. Song, you're now in charge
of the Empress's family.

Yes.

The Empress Dowager won't stop.

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

this fight won't end.

Yes.

The parrot and Empress So-hyeon

wouldn't have died if I didn't love them.

Sunny,

I just have to not love you.

That way...

That way, you'll be fine.

Wake up, Lee Hyeok!

Let her go!

Don't let her live in misery.

Just leave her.

You're a human garbage. You're a b*stard!

You caught me.

Yes, I did it.

I sent that money to your father.

I told them to break the crane
and k*ll you at our wedding.

I'm the one who told them
to push you off the cliff.

You didn't know I was a jerk?

I had fun while you were getting fooled,
but I'm getting sick of this.

Sunny, you have a knack
for making people get fed up.

Why?

You must've been delusional
because I was nice.

Human garbage like me can't change.

I'm a guy who can k*ll you again tonight.

And I can k*ll your dad and your sister!

You crazy idiot.

You jerk.

Do you know what your worst mistake is?

You arent' like an emperor. That's what.

You're cowardly and idiotic!

The Imperial House is rotting

because the emperor is like this.

If you really feel bad for me,
pull yourself together and live.

Stop running away.

If anything is rotten,
cut it out even if it's your flesh.

I know

that you didn't do it.

You trust me?

You trust a guy like me,

although I always made you suffer?

I never said I trusted you.

It's a crime to stay silent
when you know the truth.

Empress, you don't look so well.

I thought you and His Majesty
are getting along fine.

I guess you two
had a lovers' quarrel today.

Empress Dowager,

your complexion looks great.

It must be because you picked up
a rag to clean things.

Your blood circulation must be great.

All thanks to you.

-Let's go.
-Should I go with you today?

I can't miss out on such a fun occasion.

-What?
-Let's go.

Ms. Choe.

I have to use the restroom.

I'll tell them to clear it out.

Ms. Choe, you should abide by the rules.

If you don't want to be criticized

for overusing your power
and slacking off, go line up.

Goodness.

Sorry.

Empress. What are you doing?

Goodness, you were there?

I didn't see you.

Go line up behind me. I got here first!

Why? Do you think this is unfair?

You're so good at cutting in line,
so I thought you'd understand.

I guess not.

-Empress!
-The elevator is full.

You should take the next one.

Or you can walk up the stairs
and get some exercise, Mother.

Oh Sunny, what are you doing?

Why did you just push me?
Get out of there right now!

Are you kidding me?
Are you making fun of me?

Why are you so worked up?

Why wouldn't I get worked up?
I was in the line first!

Why don't you have any common sense?

Are you someone who is
worthy enough to discuss common sense?

What did you say?

What about my mom? What about my family?

How do you think we felt
after you stole the blood?

"You"?

You used the toilet a few minutes later
and got on the elevator in a bit,

but my mom lost her precious life.

Are you really going to
take things this far?

How long do you think
His Majesty will protect you?

Protect me?

I don't need his protection.
I can protect myself.

I'll show you that I'm someone
you can't even lay a finger on.

Shut up before I rip your mouth...

Calm down.

You can start learning now.

How dare

that cheeky little thing come in

and treat me with contempt?

Where have you been?

You took enough pictures.

Let's go ahead with the interview.

Who are you?

Hello, ma'am.

I came to tell you something.

To me?

I'm sorry, but she needs to take a rest.

You can talk to me outside.

Please let me go, Prime Minister.
Your wife needs to know the truth.

Please stop harassing me.

What are you talking about?

Tell me.

He looked after you and acted like
the best husband in the world,

but behind your back,
he was dying to get in my pants.

What are you talking about?

Get this crazy woman out of here!

Watch your mouth!

I am

the biological mother of
Princess A-ri of the Korean Empire.

He first came to me saying
he'll crown her as a crown princess.

I was afraid of his power,

but I couldn't fool myself anymore.

He left his sick wife at a hospital

and called me out to a hotel by force...

Stop lying!

That's enough, Seo g*ng-hui!

Honey.

Honey! Hurry up.

Honey!

Prime Minister, you made a mistake.

I'm not a girl whom you can leave
once you do not need me.

If you have nothing more
you can do for A-ri,

it's time for you to step down.

SHOCKING CONFESSIONS OF
PRINCESS A-RI'S BIOLOGICAL MOTHER

Have you seen the article, Empress?

Yes.

I was going to expose that in time,

but I was a bit too late.

But this case helped me realize
how cunning Seo g*ng-hui is.

Do you think it's true that

she saw His Majesty
take Empress So-hyeon's life?

Can you find out

more about Seo g*ng-hui's whereabouts
on that day seven years ago?

Her testimony
with the Inspection Board said

she attended the celebration later

because she had to look after
Empress So-hyeon who was almost due.

Did she really attend the party?

She did. Many people saw her there too.

I found out that Empress So-hyeon was
rather good at swimming.

Do you know
how deep the pond was at that time?

The pond... The pond was repaired.

-It was repaired?
-Right before Empress So-hyeon's death,

we had that pond repaired
under my grandmother's order.

A court lady had fallen in
and died in the night,

so we put a layer of dirt in the pond
to make it shallower.

If the pond wasn't that deep,

and Empress So-hyeon was
good at swimming...

What if something else happened?

I'll go do a search
in the Imperial Record Room.

What about Bokbok?

What?

What happened to our Bokbok?

How can you of all people look for him?

If only you came back to me,

I wouldn't be sitting here right now!

I was on my way.

I was

on my way to see you, Yu-ra.

YU-RA

Wake up. Don't die!

Tell me!

Tell me the truth before you die!

This woman.

The Empress Dowager did everything!

Tell me more in detail.
What happened on that day?

Tell me!

She

ran me over with a car.

What's going on, Your Highness?
What do you mean, it's urgent?

Let's start over, Bin.

It's all over.

I have nothing more to say about that.

The Empress doesn't like you.

She doesn't have any feelings for you.

If my background is the problem,

I'll leave my life as a princess.

Your Highness.

I am so sorry.

But I'm not in a situation
to like anyone right now.

I'll go die

if I must lose you.

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Are you all right?

What are you doing?

That could have gone terribly wrong!

I didn't ask you to save me.
Why didn't you leave me to die?

Your Highness,
is your life that insignificant?

Some people would die to live!

To some, living another day is
more precious than anything!

And you're willing to throw away
your precious life for someone like me?

You need to stop.

I'm not in the mood to talk to you.
Get lost.

I have a favor to ask of you, Mother.

Please make Chief Cheon

into mine.

What did you just say? Cheon U-bin?

I like

Chief Cheon.

What?

Do you know what he did to me?

How dare you like
someone who should be damned?

Since when?

He used to like me too,

but you ruined everything.

Why did you get him involved with her

and make him leave me? Why?

You idiot.

You never did anything for me, Mom.

So please do me this favor for once.

Stop talking nonsense!
You can't be with him.

I'm going to marry him
no matter what I do!

If I have to break his legs,

I'll do that to make him mine!

Cheon U-bin.

-When did you soften her up?
-Mom, please help me.

- Who in the world is this guy?
-Mom, I have to have him.

Am I the one whom you must k*ll?

I was getting target practice to prepare

for your 10th regnal day celebration.

And of course,

your target is Na Wang-sik, correct?

-Of course, Your Majesty.
-I'm on suspension anyway.

You don't need to prepare
for the celebration.

Your suspension will be lifted soon.

I will prepare for that day
without any mistakes.

If you put it like that,

it makes me wait for that day to come.

Keep it up.

Mr. Han, I told you to look into
Cheon U-bin's background.

It's a bit odd.

I've been looking for his alumni,
friends, and family,

but no one seems to know him.

What do you mean?

He looks perfect on paper,

but he doesn't seem like
someone who exists.

Someone who doesn't exist?

But there is someone
who requested to see you.

Who is it?

Chief Chu.

Why are you still alive?

I came to exchange
the truth about Cheon U-bin with my life.

I found the real Cheon U-bin,
Your Majesty.

What?

Are you trying to make me feel better
with these things?

Do you think I'm a kid?

I heard it all.

You were the one who stopped me
from getting crowned as a crown princess.

Princess, it's not like...

I do not want to hear it.

Ms. Seo was right.

You don't want me
to become a crown princess

or an empress regnant!

That you don't love me
as your real daughter.

I was deceived.

Do not visit me from now on.

Princess A-ri.

Seo g*ng-hui.

How dare you do this?

What is it, Your Majesty?

What did you say to A-ri,
that little girl?

The biggest problem is that
you think the Princess is a kid.

She's the future Empress Regnant.

She's not just a kid.
She's of noble birth.

It's all because of your greed.

You want that power.
You want to be an empress dowager.

You're just like the Empress Dowager
in that you use your child

as a puppet to have your way.

Will you really make A-ri
grow up like Lee Hyeok?

I'm so glad I stopped you.

Stopped me?

Don't be delusional.

I'll make sure Princess A-ri
becomes the Empress Regnant.

You used the prime minister,
then destroyed him

by pretending to be a victim
as soon as he became useless.

I can see how good you are.

But how long do you think
people will be fooled with your two faces?

I'm not sure.

Which one of us do you think
has more people on their side in here?

Who will they believe?

I've been living in the palace
ever since I was 19.

I'll find out
after I expose one after the other.

Your seemingly perfect lies

must have some kind of a hole.

EDEN NURSING HOME

So this is the real Cheon U-bin?

Yes, I'm sure.

Ms. Min and I looked for him

and checked the facts too.

Min Yu-ra? Where is she?

I couldn't reach her
ever since she left for the palace

to tell you this.

I'm sure Cheon U-bin got rid of her.

He's a dangerous man.
It's not too late to get rid of him.

Cheon U-bin wasn't the real Cheon U-bin?

Then who is this Cheon U-bin I know?

That patient isn't Cheon U-bin.

Ms. Min, what do you mean,
he isn't the real Cheon U-bin?

How dare you deceive His Majesty?

What are you talking about?

He must be holding a grudge against him
for being ordered to end his life

because of him.

He fabricated that patient's documents
into Cheon U-bin's history

to kick Chief Cheon out of the palace
and return there himself,

and he threatened me to tell you that too.

When I declined, he locked me up.
That's why it took a while for me to come.

-Ms. Min.
-Mr. Han.

I thought there was no one
who actually knew Cheon U-bin.

You're right, Your Majesty.

I got suspicious of him
and looked into this and that.

But he's definitely who he says he is.

APPLICATION FOR HOSPITALIZATION
LEE MIN-SU

He got into a car accident
with his parents 10 years ago.

His parents died on the spot,

and he was also badly hurt,
so he lived in depression for a while.

That's why no one knows him?

He was in the hospital for long,

so it seems like
people naturally forgot about him.

I'm sure you could find out more
if you look into this.

I knew it.
I shouldn't have left you alive.

Guards!

Get rid of this man.

Ms. Min!

How can you do this to me?

So why did you let me live?

I don't even know what I'm capable of.

Are you putting up a fight? Are you?

You're one tenacious man.

You may not be able to walk out
at this rate.

Tell me who you are.

What's your real reason
for coming into the palace?

First, you approach His Majesty
to become the chief,

then you approached Princess So-jin too.

What were you trying to get?

I didn't try to get anything.

Who's behind you?

The Imperial House's opposition?

You must've been in league
with Byeon Baek-h* to this day.

Did someone tell you to betray me?

I will gladly receive

any punishment regarding Princess So-jin.

However, I do not regret

betraying you.

There's no use in beating him.

I'll help you come to your senses

with this fiery discipline.

I never liked
that know-it-all face of yours.

What are you doing?

I may be on suspension,
but I'm still the Emperor of this country.

Do you think I'm a joke?

Don't lay a finger on my subordinate
without my permission!

He's a shady man.

I'll make sure he talks today,
so you stay out of this.

If anyone must punish him, I will.

Mother, you have

no authority or right to do this.

What are you doing? Let him go!

Let's go.

Come on.

Who are you worried about, Your Majesty?

I'm sure you didn't change your mind
and came back

to reveal Chief Cheon's identity.

What's your plan?

You're straight-up telling me
you're on Na Wang-sik's side?

Interesting.

Na Wang-sik and you.

Which one of you
should I get rid of first?

It's Kang Ju-seung, isn't it?

He's the reason you came here in the
first place, and he's why you came back.

You hold the biggest grudge
against the Imperial House,

Min Yu-ra.

I'm sure Kang Ju-seung
told you everything.

Open your eyes and see.

You must go after the Empress Dowager,
not Na Wang-sik.

She's the one who ruined your life.

Shut up.

What do you know?

Don't try to get me on your side.

I don't want to
work with you for long either.

But I need you now.

I need to keep your mouth shut.

It's not a bad idea

to stay on the same side
to take down our biggest enemy.

If you drag this out any longer,

you'll end up helping the Imperial House.

I'll manage it myself.

I'll get my own revenge

against the Imperial House,
the Empress Dowager, and Lee Hyeok.

So stop being a hypocrite,
pretending to help me.

Stop provoking me!

You'll make me want to
spill the truth about Wang-sik.

As you know,

I have nothing to lose at this point.

You're smart, so do think about

the ways we can use one another.

I already finished calculating my moves,

so come and see me whenever you're done.

What do you want to say?

I wish to search through
the Imperial Record Room.

What do you mean?

You can only read the records
after an emperor's reign ends

according to the imperial law!

How dare you wish to go into that room?

Why? Is there something
I am not allowed to see?

What are you so afraid of?

The truth about Empress So-hyeon's death?

Or the secret of Cheonggeum Island?

-What?
-Prince Yoon! Watch your mouth.

Did you forget the reason
why I became the acting Emperor?

I returned to investigate
Empress So-hyeon's death.

You must abide by my decision

for me to fulfill that task.

Stop showing off.

You can always leave
after you wreck the Imperial House,

but I have the responsibility
to keep this place together!

And for whom do the Imperial House exist?

Do you have any right to say that?

Have you ever been honest?

You jerk.

What are you two doing?
Retain your dignity.

Calm down, Your Majesty.

No one can open the doors
to the Imperial Record Room.

If Prince Yoon breaks the rules

and opens up that room,

the Board of Imperial Inspection
won't just sit around.

They will strip him of his rights
as the acting Emperor.

Hello, it's a great day.

Hello, what brings you here?

I came to see my darling.

Hello, what suddenly brings you here?

Goodness, you haven't told them yet?

I'm Oh Hello, Yoon's girlfriend.

Nice to meet you, Mother.

"Mother"? I'm not your mother.

What is this nonsense?

I couldn't see my babe for a while

because he was working too much
as the acting Emperor.

So I decided to come in.
I'll stay here for a while.

I knew it, Ms. Oh.
You're a woman of great energy.

Hey! I will not accept this!

I'm already sick of one of the Crazy Ohs,

and now I have to put up with two?
I will not accept this relationship.

Get out of here.

What are you doing? Get lost!

Show your respect.

This is my girlfriend.

What?

Your girlfriend?

Are you insane?

This crazy girl can't be your girlfriend!

Mother, just accept this as fate.

It's either the Emperor
or the acting Emperor

with my sister or me.

Aren't the Crazy Ohs
inseparable from the Imperial House?

Your daughters-in-law will
always be the Crazy Ohs.

It'll be easier for you to accept it.

How did such a girl...
I hate you more than Sunny!

RECORD ROOM

I'll go alone from here.

If they find out you came in,
you may get in trouble.

I'll bring out the documents.
Please wait here.

Okay. Be careful, Prince.

I will.

IMPERIAL RECORD ROOM

IHWA PALACE COMPLETION CEREMONY

I can see pine trees, lights,
and the pond.

Everything looks great

- in this ceremony.
-I saw her by the pond around 7:40 p.m.

Nothing in particular.

Seo g*ng-hui said she came later.

Why are you so late?
We've been waiting for you.

Please share a word with us.

I'm Seo g*ng-hui,
the chief assistant to the Empress.

Congratulations on
the completion of the new palace.

I hope the Imperial House will
always prosper and grow.

Come on.

Say something a bit longer, Ms. Seo.

I'll stop here.

You got something on your sleeves,
on your shoes, and on your clothes.

Why did you get mud on you?
It didn't even rain.

Have you been somewhere else?

IHWA PALACE COMPLETION CEREMONY

You got something on your sleeves,
on your shoes, and on your clothes.

Why did you get mud on you?
It didn't even rain.

- Have you been somewhere else?
-Stain. Mud.

You got something on your sleeves,
on your shoes, and on your clothes.

Why did you get mud on you?
It didn't even rain.

Prince Yoon.

Prince Yoon.

Prince! Answer me.

What's going on?

Prince!

Prince! Are you okay?

Wake up. Can you hear me?

Prince!

Who's there?

Open the door. Open this!

Stop showing off.

I have the responsibility
to keep this place together!

And for whom do the Imperial House exist?
Do you have any right to say that?
