Mr. Queen (Queen Cheorin / Cheorinwanghoo / 철인왕후)

THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL AND ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,

AND EVENTS ARE UNRELATED TO HISTORICAL EVENTS.

There are so many things I owe you.

I kept thinking of you...

when I tried to leave this place.

Because I will never see you again.

ONE HOUR EARLIER

YONG SU POTATO

ARE YOU SLEEPING?

Yes. I wrote that.

Did you really write those?

It was not the Queen?

The Queen was at the banquet.

Then what is the reason you used...

wild grapes, pine needles, and peaches for the appetizer?

That is because peaches are in season,

wild grapes will be in season soon,

and pine needles are always in season.

Man Bok.

Look me in the eyes and tell me.

The Queen wanted to hide the fact that she helped you.

It is very late. You should come back tomorrow.

You should go back to your residence.

I must find out why she helped me...

and what she meant when she said she would betray me.

THE QUEEN

THE QUEEN IS IN DANGER.

When the day breaks, I will report it to the King.

Will he be okay through the night?

Do not be in a rush. It might be a trap.

There are times when you sleep like a baby.

I fell asleep without realizing it.

Have you been watching me?

Why do you always do that?

Worrying about me, trying to understand me.

Come to think of it, you're the first person I saw when I came here.

There are so many things I owe you.

I kept thinking of you...

when I tried to leave this place.

Because I will never see you again.

Hong Yeon.

You must be working out a lot.

You've bulked up so much...

This must be a dream.

Hong Yeon and the consorts turned into him...

in my dream last time as well.

Are you up?

What is this? What is going on?

What is wrong? Who dared to do something bad to My Queen?

You. You did something bad to me.

Why did her face blink and change to you?

Pardon?

Be frank with me.

What happened between us last night?

How frank do you want me to be?

Don't leave anything out and tell me everything.

My gosh. That is a strange request.

If that is what you want...

When the moon lit up the dark sky last night,

our hands touched slightly, and then there were fireworks...

Don't say anything. If you say something, I'll kill you.

This...

This is just the beginning, My Queen.

My Queen.

My gosh.

It feels...

like I have been abandoned.

My gosh.

Head Eunuch.

Hong Yeon. Hong Yeon.

Where did you sleep last night?

I slept in my residence, Your Highness.

Did Cheoljong and I really...

EPISODE 14, A WOMAN WHO MUST DIE TO LIVE

It was all a dream.

The portrait of the late King was burning,

and it all seemed so realistic.

After what happened to the fortune-teller,

I could not get my fortune read properly.

Something seems ominous.

Court Lady Han. I need to get my fortune read properly.

Your Highness. Doing that will cause trouble again.

There is a monk that I know.

It will be okay since it does not look suspicious to others.

When Avalokiteshvara was practicing the profound Prajna Paramita,

he illuminated the five skandhas and saw that they are all empty...

What do you see?

I see the Palace covered in red blood.

Red blood?

Someone will die...

in the Palace today.

Who on earth is it?

I do not know who it is,

but it will be a woman.

A woman?

Is it perhaps...

Will it be me?

Write me a talisman. One that will protect me.

I am not a shaman.

There must be a way.

If you insist,

make an offering to Buddha.

Definately. I will give as much offering as you want.

The woman that will die in the Palace...

must not be me.

Darn it!

I did not get to ask the Queen what I wanted to ask her.

Gosh.

I will go back to Daejojeon Hall.

Your Majesty.

It is suspicious.

Including the fact that he disappeared all of a sudden.

That is right.

I can draw a composite myself.

This is the one.

That is right. This is it.

It is getting clearer. That is right.

No! This is not right!

His face...

This is his face.

Special Director Hong.

Did you come all the way here while crying?

There, there.

Why did I not consider that she might not like me?

Why did I spend so many days debating over...

whether I should choose love or my family?

The biggest obstacle in love...

is none other than...

gaining the heart of the person you love.

What is her reason?

She said...

I do not like you.

What?

Goodbye.

My Lady.

At least tell me why.

Why do you dislike me?

I...

do not like men with ambition.

There, there.

Gosh, how damp.

Love usually starts moist...

and ends in dampness like this.

- But... - Gosh, you startled me.

There is good news too.

The King has gotten better,

so my prayers were answered.

I am sure you heard about something else as well.

Lord Kim Jwa Geun will be dismissed due to that incident.

I like the King, and I respect Lord Kim as well.

My heart has been divided into two.

Why do you like him when you have never met the King personally.

That is because he is your best friend.

You are a good person,

so your friend must be a good person too.

My goodness, you.

Were you drawing an octopus?

What do you mean by "octopus"? It is a person.

This is?

I drew it quite well if you look into it in detail.

- This must be his eyes. - That is his mouth.

- That is his mouth? - Can you not see the lips?

It is best to get your fortune read in the morning.

Queen Dowager, Her Highness is here.

Goodness.

Your face has become drawn overnight.

As if the King has yet to wake up.

What happened to the Queen?

I gave up on a bigger use of her...

and did as you asked.

I am certain that they found...

the object in her chamber.

The King spent the night in the Queen's chamber last night.

As soon as he got well?

I came to realize once again through this incident...

that if I lose the King, I will die.

Could the woman who will die today...

be perhaps...

I want to die.

Should I just kill myself?

I might feel better if I died.

I apologize, Your Highness. I apologize.

I denied everything,

but the King was filled with certainty.

What? What are you talking about?

What do you mean?

Do you smell something burning?

Who is it? Which one of you is it?

- Where are you going? - Hold on.

Court Lady Choi.

I ended up...

telling him everything.

Is that so?

So let me get this straight.

The King came to me last night after having a talk with you...

which caused this whole mess. Is that right?

That is not what I said.

Then, the source of my confusion right now...

is all your fault.

What? Why do you feel confused?
