- You must dethrone the Crown Prince! - You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

The recklessness of His Royal Highness worsens day after day,

and his behavior is starting to break down our customs.

You must dethrone the Crown Prince

and reinstate the foundation of our nation!

- You must dethrone the Crown Prince - You must dethrone the Crown Prince

Three state councilors of the State Council,

then even Six Ministries and Three Offices joined in this protest.

That means the entire Royal Court is in this together.

I can no longer protect you.

You must...

survive on your own now.

I shall do that.

Even if...

I must rip my limbs out to survive, I shall survive.

- You must dethrone the Crown Prince! - You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

- and reinstate our nation's foundation! - and reinstate our nation's foundation!

I'll marry Lady Yoon, just as the Queen

and the Royal Court decided.

Your Royal Highness.

a royal marriage is not something to be dealt with.

In that case,

what can I do?

This foolish man does not understand what His Royal Highness means.

A subject can only give advice,

and every decision is made by His Majesty.

What are you all doing?

Do you dare to look down on His Royal Highness?

Your Royal Highness.

You are the foundation of our nation.

How can you bow your head as our foundation?

How can you kneel down so easily

as our foundation?

The true foundation of Joseon...

are the nobles.

I will not

seek after the royal authority

as the tyrant you deposed did.

I will not hold you in check just as His Majesty does.

I will

respect the words of the subjects and Three Offices...

as the King.

So please,

help me.

BLOODY HEART EPISODE 1

QUEEN YOON

Your Majesty!

Get the royal physician!

Now! Go!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

It has been four years since we waited for Her Majesty's conception.

You should take in a royal concubine

and have a son in your royal family.

How can you be so impudent to the young Queen?

She can always conceive a baby, even today.

Internal Prince, your loyalty as a subject comes first

before your love for your daughter.

Left Minister, you choose to overlook how His Majesty feels.

That means your ulterior motive came first!

Otherwise, does Left State Councilor harbor an ulterior motive?

Speak up.

Can you confidently say

this selection was done without ulterior motives?

A subject can only give advice.

When His Majesty gives an order,

I simply honor and follow it.

If the Queen requests it,

I shall allow you to select a royal concubine.

How?

How did you not have any idea

until Her Majesty was in such dire condition?

Her Majesty said

she must keep clean while she has the pregnancy talisman on herself

- and did not allow me to feel her pulse. - I don't need excuses.

Who else knows other than you?

Nobody knows. I must relay this to the King's Palace.

What can His Majesty do at this point?

The fate of the Yoon family depends upon this.

Yes, my lord.

My arrow must have become nervous with you watching, Left State Councilor.

Everyone knows that you are an excellent archer, Your Majesty.

I'm only afraid you will choose to train in martial arts

and neglect your daily lessons.

I'll remember your advice.

It is my honor.

In that case, please allow me to give you another word of counsel.

I understand you want a son from the Queen.

But as we cannot postpone this any longer,

it's the Queen Dowager's will for you to select a royal concubine.

I'll try to persuade the internal prince again—

Your Majesty.

Instead of persuading,

give him an order.

I accept your advice.

Your Majesty.

Eunuch Jung of the Queen's Palace is here.

Your Majesty.

I came to report that I found a site for a pavilion for Internal Prince.

I wanted to console the internal prince

by demolishing a deserted house and building a pavilion.

How big is it?

A house of 21 kan will be used to build it with 4 dan and 4 jum,

and a house of 22 kan will become 3 dan and 9 jum.

Proceed.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I must go visit the Queen.

My lord.

This is absolutely urgent.

Your Majesty.

The Queen's Palace is the other way.

CLASSIC OF POETRY

QUEEN DOWAGER CHOI GAYEON

Your Royal Highness.

Internal Prince has been waiting for half an hour.

Has it been that long already?

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Let him in after another quarter of an hour.

Why haven't I heard from my father?

How can he leave the Royal Court even after he heard that I fainted?

The Queen is ill.

It is absurd that no one has come to visit me!

Internal Prince, what brings you here?

I hear you are deeply concerned about the future generation

of the royal family.

It was extremely inscrutable and embarrassing.

Is that so?

I heard you were against a concubine.

How could I go against the Queen Dowager?

However, for the sake of the sickly Queen,

please let me have all authority over the selection of the concubine.

If you let me,

I will be as faithful to you as a dog and horse.

It looks like

the rumors are true.

Remove the girl who caused anger to the Queen.

I'm here.

I may be powerless,

but the King is here to visit the Queen.

I heard the Royal Court clamored

for you to select a concubine as soon as possible.

My eyes are only on you.

Their clamor is hardly important.

Your Majesty.

I must have hurt you

because I was a queen who viciously threw temper tantrums.

It's because I was spiteful.

I hated how you tried to have a girl from an ordinary family

as the Crown Princess instead of me.

If that girl had been alive, I would have had her killed.

That is how much

I am in love with you.

This is...

the first time you said you loved me, my queen.

In that case,

I'll give you an answer.

My queen.

You'll die soon.

The ailment went into her lungs and she can't be saved, can she?

I thought you loved her dearly,

but the first thing you suggested is that he select a concubine?

Power must be more important to you than your own bloodline.

That was an awful joke.

Joking...

is what you had said.

If you truly know what it's like to be in love,

you wouldn't have dared to say the word.

No child in this world

would be happy to be loved by the child of their mother's murderer.

I rose to the throne after marrying you.

Once you die,

I'll be able to marry a family that can become my support.

As you are now, my queen...

you are dearest to me.

Your Majesty...

Left State Councilor, give me one more chance.

My lord!

My lord!

Internal Prince will be dismissed for deceiving His Majesty,

and he'll be severely punished according to the crimes he committed.
