Queen For Seven Days (7일의 왕비)

Stop. Episode 15

What if I can't allow it?

Then kill me.

Even if you kill me,

you won't be able to get what you want.

Because even as a ghost,

I will be together with Chae Gyeong.

Are you alright?

Yes.

Don't do anything risky again.

No, I won't.

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty.

I don't know how you could bring yourself here.

Is His Majesty alright?

He gave an order prohibiting anyone from entering. Why don't you come back next time?

Do you know

what you did just now?

Yes.

I gave up... the throne.

Do you think you gave up only the throne?

You also gave up your life. You gave up on living.

Like my older brother,

in order to become king, I doubted,

threatened, and tried to kill my family.

When did you do that?

Since you, the Deputy Commander, and Myeong Hye

are the same as Lee Yeok.

Royal Mother, Deputy Commander, and all our comrades are king.

Their actions, dreams, and the world they aim for

are passed down through my eyes, lips, and goals

in the end.

But I was becoming like Hyungnim.

And in the most despicable form at that.

I am not any different from Hyungnim,

so why do I need to drive him out to become king?

Thus, I was unable to find a reason for me to become a king.

I will be content in this life with

just protecting those I wish to protect.

Did you forget that your life isn't yours alone?

Because you gave birth to me,

because you saved me,

don't try to control my life in the future.

Yeok! Yeok!

Do you want to go anywhere?

Pardon?

I don't want to go back to that house.

Our lives finally became easy and simple

with neither doubts nor secrets

since now we only have to fear death.

However, death comes to everyone.

We cast spells on each other that we should only be happy until then.

Where are you going?

Follow me.

This place is—

Since we can't go back to our childhood,

how about untangling the knot and tying it again

at the first place we met as adults?

However, it's not such a pleasant memory for you.

Because I held a memorial service for a person who's alive and well like this.

What hurt me more than the memorial service was

that you were with my older brother of all people.

I didn't know about the misunderstanding and

the suffering between you two.

I know. Because I knew, I was able to not hate you.

Because I knew, I was able to love you.

Yes.

What did you say just now?

What?

Just now, you said because you knew you were able to do something.

Pardon?

Because you knew, lov—

Well, I don't know.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Gosh!

You were a step too late.

Yeok gave the secret order to his older brother and announced that he's giving up the throne.

It took so much effort to find that secret order and he gave that to the king?

Did you know about this?

No. However, from the beginning, it was a mistake

that you put Young Lady Chae Gyeong in danger.

Hyungnim was determined to become king to protect Young Lady Chae Gyeong.

He decided to become king for a mere girl?

It's possible if that woman is his reason for living.

I can never let it end like this.

If you take a wrong step forward, it will only lead to the opposite effect.

Does that mean it's over now?

Since the secret order has been ripped up, does that mean it's over as long as the Grand Prince and Chae Gyeong move to the countryside?

I am not sure if the king will allow them to move to the countryside.

Why not?

All things considered, the king has our Chae Gyeong

in his heart as a woman.

However, it was the king who ordered those two to marry.

In a way unknown to us, the king must be fighting with himself.

The late king's will mixed with his love towards Chae Gyeong,

putting life and death, destiny, and even the fate of the nation on the line.

Then, as quickly as possible,

let's have the Grand Prince and Chae Gyeong move to the countryside. My Lord!

The innkeeper here is very nice.

Last time, she lent the entire tavern and today, she even lent me clothes.

That's because you pay her.

Hurry and get changed.

I really won't look.

I don't believe you. Stay that way.

Were you deceived your whole life?

I am not looking. Really.

Don't look sideways.

How is it? I like it and it's comfortable.

Whatever you wear, you look beautiful. Beautiful.

I am not any different from Hyungnim,

so why do I need to drive him out to become king?

Your Majesty! Your Highness, Queen Dowager!

What—

Your Majesty.

Royal Mother.

You too were

stabbed in the back by Yeok today.

You must have been earnestly looking for the secret order.

What should be done?

Yeok did something immense today.

He hasn't changed a bit from before.

Don't you agree?

You drank too much. Your body—

Please call Yeok here, Royal Mother.

Should I give it to Yeok now?

The throne, I mean.

Tell Yeok to become king.

Then, instead, I will become Chae Gyeong's husband

and the First Vice Premier's son-in-law.

Your son and I will live that way.

It's too late to do so.

To do so, you have to be reborn, Your Majesty.

In your next life, be born as my daughter.

Then, I will braid your hair, make your clothes,

and give you lots of love.

Court Lady Choi!

Yes, Your Highness.

Send a message to the Queen.

I will stay by his side.

Please prepare honey water, Eunuch Kim.

Yes, Your Highness.

I had forgotten about this.

What is that?

It's nothing.

I don't think it's nothing. Are you trying to hide things again?

I had it with me because I wanted to give it to you.

Is it a present?

When did you have time to think about preparing something like this?

I meant to give it to you but it's been a while since I carried it with me.

I don't think this gift is appropriate for this situation. No, I mean,

to call it a gift, it's a bit—

However, this gift is not easy to guess.

I made you really upset.

If something upsets or angers you,

instead of keeping it to yourself, throw it as much as you'd like.

Throw it?

You embrace me and talk about whether your heart is pounding or not while flirting with any man!

- Go. - Ouch.

- Leave! - What?

I said leave!

It hurts a bit, rather a lot...

It does hurt a bit,

but if it helps you get over your anger, why not?

You call this a gift?

What is this? Are you scared?

- No. - This time, it's for real.

It seems like

you're not ready yet.

I think

you were very hurt last time.

So are you going to avoid it like this, like a coward?

I have really been a coward, haven't I?

And it was really hard for you.

Then, continue being a coward.

Do you love me?

I love you. I yearn for you.

You can just do one thing.

Lee Yoong will abdicate the throne to Grand Prince Jin Seong

and assist his younger brother as a retired king.

He is the son of a deposed queen!

Name Grand Prince Jin Seong as the crown prince!

- Assist his younger brother as a retired king. - Abdicate the throne.

Head Eunuch. Head Eunuch!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Bring me liquor. Liquor!

Head Eunuch!

Who are you?

You bastard!

You dare to refuse your father's order

and you insist on keeping the throne?

Leave. Leave! Disappear!

Didn't I tell you that if you rule over Joseon,

Joseon will be ruined?

You are!

The people of Joseon will starve from

your tyranny, capriciousness, and dogmatism.

Royal Father, you just cherish Yeok more.

I am just not to your liking!

Please go away now! Disappear!

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!
