BLOODY HEART

THE PEOPLE, GROUPS, PLACES, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE PURELY FICTIONAL

Send this traitor to the State Tribunal!

Halt!

Not to the State Tribunal.

Lock him up in the Internal Prison.

I will…

hold him responsible in the future.

Yes, Your Highness.

Take him away!

BLOODY HEART EPISODE 14

The subjects were beheaded?

Councilor Park won't let that happen.

That's what I find even weirder.

Councilor tried to take the Queen Dowager's life

and was put in the Internal Prison.

Councilor Park can't be that foolish.

But it seems to be true.

This is

simply tyranny.

What did the State Council do?

What about the Three Offices, the Royal Family, and scholars?

They used the law, causes, and honor for parents

to stop me from making any moves.

Why are they silent now?

Your Majesty.

I have another piece of news.

Please don't move.

You should be careful right now.

Have you heard?

I heard…

you are pregnant.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'm sorry.

I put you through so much trouble even though you were pregnant.

I won't ever

leave you alone again.

Ttonggeum…

died.

She died in my place

in the hands of those who tried to kill me.

The Queen Dowager is a tyrant.

An oppressor.

She cannot continue like this.

It may be dishonoring your mother,

but you must do this for our people and the Royal Family.

You have no time to lose.

If her tyranny is prolonged,

we don't know how much our people will suffer.

The Queen Dowager must be

deposed as soon as possible.

She annihilated a good number of subjects

without questioning them once.

Even Councilor Park is locked up in the Internal Prison.

That's the prison for eunuchs and court ladies.

Turn a blind eye to it,

if you wish to live.

Inspector Park of the Office of Inspector General.

Please allow me in.

There is a rumor

that Councilor Park is imprisoned in the Internal Prison.

Do you know

anything about this?

Please spare him, Your Highness.

My lord does not have anything to do with this rebellion.

And it is told that

he dared to take your life,

but he's only getting framed.

You're asking me to spare him,

which makes me want to kill him even more.

I shall

cut off my tongue

since it dared to defy you.

If you ask me for my head,

I will give it to you.

And how shall I use that disgusting thing?

Keep your eyes on everything

with the same vigor when you humiliated me.

Your tongue, your head,

and your life as the wife of the left state councilor.

Mother, let us go.

Go meet your father.

The Internal Prison doesn't allow private visitors.

I'll find a way for you.

Go ask your father what he's up to.

I will do

as he asks.

TRAITOR

NO KYUNGMOON

Announcing that in these current times

is the same as saying that you are.

My lord.

I became a bystander of slaughter

although I was in charge of the palace's security.

I let some hoodlums take the palace.

Did you not find any bodies?

No, they cleaned up everything after killing the hoodlums.

It's not just a few.

That means the Consort is likely to have survived.

-Should I say I'm relieved? -My lord.

Please look.

This was found nearby.

This is a wooden tag for a regional army.

Does this mean

regional soldiers are near the palace?

Did I disturb you from your sleep again?

I'll soon find out if the court ladies are fine.

I told you not to worry about it.

I keep dreaming

about how you spit out blood and collapsed before me.

And Ttonggeum, right before her death.

I keep telling myself that I cannot forget about her.

Maybe that's why I keep seeing her.

-We'll return to the palace soon. -Once we return,

I'll find the one who tried to poison you to death.

The one who tried to hurt you

might be the one behind the Queen Dowager.

This isn't something she could have done alone.

This is someone

who put the country in chaos by using her.

I will not forgive this one.

I must have…

become weak.

I have more to protect,

and it only makes me more impatient and scared.

This must be why my late father

also cowered down.

I finally understand

how he felt.

What are you

so afraid of?

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to protect you.

And now,

I'm afraid I may

lose you.

I went through two selections

to marry a strange man.

And both times, it was with you.

We were meant to be.

We cannot be separated that easily.

Were you

really going to kill me?

Your Highness.

I am grieved that I could not take your life.

Just as I dragged down the old deposed king,

I will also drag you down.

A subject who rebels once is a vassal of merit,

but twice, they are a traitor.

Dragging down the Queen Dowager whilst in her regency?

That is rebellion.

In that case,

I will become a traitor.

You must have forgotten

that you were locked up trying to murder royalty.

Your crime is enough to have three generations annihilated.

In that case, you can punish me according to our customs.

I decide what the customs are!

Nobody…

stands above the customs.

You should step down

before you are dragged down.

What can you do?

Nobody in the Royal Court is on your side.

Even if you die in here,

nobody will step up for you.

Before I die,

I will have you deposed, Your Highness.

Where's Consort Park?

Is she alive or dead?

Is somebody hiding her?

Maitreya has not answered.

You must have

lost your power.

And where is my message of the King's death?

You continuously miss things,

so the chief eunuch had to send someone to the detached palace.

If a scout is here,

it means the Queen Dowager is suspicious of me.

Tell Siwol to stop going into the palace.

We need someone to cause trouble with the Queen Dowager.

We cannot do that without Siwol.

It'll take some time,

but it's doable.

Kyun.

I saw that kid's face.

If he gets hurt,

I'll never be able

to forget that boy's face.

And I only saw him once.

How would you feel?

If you came this far,

the situation must be very dire.

Councilor Park knows about you.

Eunuchs are also keeping an eye on you,

so the chief eunuch is also suspicious of you.

Everyone whom I planted in the palace has fled already,

so I can't find any details.

So you must leave immediately too.

Father.

I thought
