Mr. Queen (Queen Cheorin / Cheorinwanghoo / 철인왕후)

THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL AND ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,

AND EVENTS ARE UNRELATED TO HISTORICAL EVENTS.

I smelled this that night too. It filled the entire room.

This scent was embedded into his sleeve too.

It was you.

You were...

In the worst-case scenario, I must go for my left sleeve.

What I needed most at this moment was you.

EPISODE 4

This tea.

I am glad that you like it.

He has been staying close by me all this time to figure out...

if I remember that.

Your Highness, why do you look so pale?

You are even sweating.

It's okay.

I'm just tired after staying up last night.

At times like that, this tea is very helpful.

You should have some and go straight to bed.

Taste it.

You may drink it now.

I will pour it myself. You may be excused.

Please have some. The aroma is very nice.

I have to pretend not to know. That's the only way I can live.

Why does he keep telling me to drink the tea?

Perhaps there's poison in it?

What is wrong?

It tastes...

very good.

Thank goodness.

How long has it been since you had dinner?

If I'm on an empty stomach, the poison will spread faster.

That's why he wants to know.

You are quite interested in what I do these days.

I had been busy.

I always had a great interest...

in you and your family.

Then...

you should have some of this.

Consider it a display of affection.

If that is what you would like.

Maybe it isn't.

You little jerk.

You said it was a display of affection.

What are you trying to do?

Let go of me. I need to vomit.

Do you think that I poisoned you?

Why? Is there a reason why you think so?

Let us wait.

If time passes and you are okay,

my innocence will be proven.

What if I don't want to?

If you were poisoned, your tongue will be paralyzed first.

If you feel as though your tongue is becoming stiff,

do not hesitate and move your hand.

Do you think I can't do it?

I think you can.

Furthermore, I think you will do it well.

You got that right.

Even if I die, I won't die alone.

THE MAN WHO KNOWS TOO MUCH

- Your Highness. - I cannot do this anymore.

I cannot do this even if my life depends on it.

I feel like I am going to die too.

Be careful.

Do you intend to hurt me in your sleep?

Something is strange.

What did you make me drink?

I have a question for you.

The other night, when I went to the royal villa,

where did you go?

I'm going to leave.

I have to get out of here.

I can't die here when the way out is right in front of my eyes.

What happened to you that night?

This is dangerous. I shouldn't say anything.

I...

What did you say?

That night,

you tried...

to kill me.

She knows.

If you knew this,

why did you hide the fact that you knew until now?

What are you planning?

Because I didn't know.

I just found out thanks to that tea you drink.

That's too bad.

If I had known sooner, I would've killed you.

You evil jerk.

Regardless of how crazy you are over another girl,

how could you try to kill your wife?

How can you call yourself a human?

Jo Hwa Jin is your royal concubine.

Isn't being able to legally commit adultery enough?

Did you really have to kill your wife with your own hands?

She does not know why.

My Queen.

You heard something you should not have heard that night.

What did you hear?

Answer me! What did you hear?

There is another reason?

So you're saying you have a very valid reason...

why you're trying to kill this woman?

Is that it?

Stop kidding yourself.

Whether it's because I heard something...

or because you're madly in love with another woman,

there's only one reason why you'd try to kill me.

It's because I'm weaker than you.

You wouldn't have been able to attack me if I was stronger.

It's because I'm easy to kill.

It's because I'm weaker than you.

That's the real reason.

Here. Try again.

Prove that you're just a murderer who would kill a weak person.

Darn it.

Gosh, I'm so mad.

Your Highness.

How dare he make light of me?

If I was the real me, I could knock him out with just one punch!

Darn it!

What happened?

I always thought I was a weak person fighting against a strong person.

That is why I believed that my actions and methods...

were all valid.

The Queen already knows...

that I tried to kill her.

I thought there were plenty of reasons why the Queen should die.

It was not only because she overheard our conversation.

It was because she condoned and contributed to their tyranny.

That is why I believed it was valid to kill the Queen.

However, that was nothing but a cowardly excuse.

I am still not confident enough to fight against my strong opponents,

so that is why I went after the Queen, who is the weakest.

- Your Majesty. - If I am fighting against the weak,

how am I any different from those people?

You must focus on the righteous goal.

If the results are righteous, the means are also righteous.

The Kim clan is not one you can beat with a righteous method.

You must not be shaken.

I am sure that they are planning something scary.

The Queen is the only one who knows right now...

as she just found out herself.

You must prevent the Queen from speaking right now.

It is only a matter of time before they all find out.

I will not use cowardly methods anymore.

Your Majesty.

I judged the Queen easily because she is a part of the Kim clan.

However, everything she has done was unexpected.

In any case, I'm not the person you think I am.

What you see isn't everything.

The Queen told me that she was a different person.

Perhaps the Queen was trying to tell me that...

she is cut from a different cloth and can make a different decision.

What are you expecting from her?

The Queen is nothing but...

a member of the Kim clan.

I may be nothing more than a puppet king,

but they cannot do anything just based on the Queen's words.

They do not have any definitive evidence.

I will watch to see what kind of decision the Queen makes.

That will help me figure out what kind of person she is.

I found the source of this fabric,

and it is from the palace.

If you were to steal this precious gift from the king,

they would get caught.

It would not be possible with the power of any noble person.

Goodness. I wonder how much you will pay me for my efforts.

I went through quite a lot, Young Master.

Good job.

From now on, please leave all the hard, difficult, and dirty things...

to me, sir.

The palace...

Simply having...

Royal Noble Consort Eui shake the King's heart will not be enough.

We need an opportunity that will capture his heart for sure.

Right now, the Royal Noble Consort's weakness is the lake incident.

If that is the case...

We must create the criminal.

It must be a weak person who has no one on their side,

like a baby deer that does not have a mother.

It must be someone like that.

Where did the person playing tujeon go?

What are you doing instead of putting down your card?

You would not even notice if I stole your nose.

The thing is...

Never mind. It is nothing.

You must be worried about something.

I think that vicious criminals are roaming the streets these days.

I made a new friend recently.

His name is Lee Saeng Mang.

But I think...

he was also attacked by a terrible person...

who is roaming around outside of the Palace.

"Also"? Did someone else get attacked?

You know that I am very keen.

My cousin, Byeong In,

seems to be...

trying to find someone from a piece of a robe.
