BLOODY HEART

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

Lady Park, His Majesty shall enter.

I am here as requested!

Let me see that face of yours.

My lord?

Why are you…

here, my lord?

There are ears all around us.

Your Majesty, please compose yourself.

-Eunuch Jung. -Yes, Your Majesty.

I shall interrogate Lady Park for jealousy.

Do not let anybody follow me.

Your order is my command.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

He did not allow you to follow.

You won't even hide that you side with His Majesty.

All eunuchs belong to His Majesty.

How do you not know that simple fact as the chief eunuch?

Why are you all standing around without protecting His Majesty?

Do not dare to follow His Majesty!

It is his order.

Are you His Majesty?

My lord.

You were the Crown Prince all along?

How…

has this happened?

Why are you here in the palace?

How much does Councilor Park know about you?

Does he know that you were once to be the Crown Princess?

No.

Is that

all you have to say to me?

Why did you…

Why did you return to the palace?

Did you forget everything

that happened to you here?

If I had known you were His Majesty,

if I had known my savior was the Crown Prince,

I would have died before I came here.

On every 15th we met,

why didn't you tell me anything over all those years?

You should've said so when I said I loved you.

If you had told me then…

I would have put an end to these pathetic feelings.

BLOODY HEART EPISODE 5

Are there any court ladies that may recognize her?

It was before the wedding, so no one was with her

other than the court lady who was dispatched.

Also, all of them were involved in the treason,

so they were either killed or exiled.

How much…

does Councilor Park know?

Your Majesty.

This is the chance in a lifetime.

Councilor Park brought in a stranger

and claimed her as his niece to make her your concubine.

This is contempt of the Royal Family, no, it's even treason.

You now have just cause to punish Councilor Park!

Wouldn't Councilor Park know that?

What if he knew who she was?

Then he becomes the one who saved the traitor's daughter.

Councilor Park brought her up as his niece

and made her your concubine.

That's the story you can work with.

Your Majesty, it's your chance to get rid of Councilor Park

instead of waiting for Siwol to pass the state exam.

If I do that,

Lady Jeong will die.

We must check first.

I'll act

only after I make sure.

I will go to Councilor Park's home!

Giddy-up!

It was not my blunder.

It was yours.

Why did you make such a foolish move?

Were you counting on the feelings of a man's frivolous heart?

I did.

You are the successor of the late King.

The late King was a feeble ruler,

but he was a very tough husband.

The list for officials.

You may fill it up with the names you like.

No matter who they are, they will receive a proper title, land, and slaves.

I will also hold a magnificent ceremony for the woman you bring as a concubine.

-Your Majesty. -Hence,

do not discuss the deposal of the Queen any longer.

Her Majesty's household used to serve the deposed king.

How do you expect us

to honor the daughter of a criminal as the Queen?

She is not the daughter of a criminal.

She's the Crown Prince's mother

and my wife.

Which path will you take, Your Majesty?

Will it be power?

Or will it be

your love?

Have you been expecting me?

I've been waiting for you to summon me.

How can you act so rashly as the King?

Next time,

send your order through a royal secretary and have me come in.

If you expected my visit,

it means you know who Lady Park really is.

Do you?

She is your lover

and a token of my loyalty.

All I want is for you to spend

a hundred happy years with your lover.

Despite the danger, you did all this

for me?

How shall I reciprocate your loyalty?

I, Left State Councilor Park Gyewon!

Please accept me…

as your subject.

He doesn't know.

I must have overestimated you, Councilor Park.

I know you were in a rush,

but you played

such a poor move.

In the end, all you wanted was one thing.

Power in the future.

The Queen Dowager is with you,

but the Queen isn't on your side,

how will you have power in the future?

And nobody will stay loyal to a man who'll lose his power in the future.

Is that why you did something so atrocious and foolish?

You treated the Royal Family with contempt

and broke the law, yet did you expect to live?

I'll wait and see

what the Queen Dowager will give up…

to save your life, Councilor Park.

Were you after the Queen Dowager,

and not the State Tribunal?

Do you wish to run away?

Father.

Your shoulders are heavy with the weight of the Royal Family, our family,

and even the Sarim .

Do you want to run away now if it isn't too late?

I should've run away back then.

If I had,

you, mother,

and our family wouldn't have been annihilated.

Then I wouldn't have met him,

and we wouldn't be hurting right now.

Jeong.

-You cannot do this. -Move!

Do you expect me to let her live after ruining my bridal night?

What are you doing? You must stop Lady Cho.

All of you.

How dare you try to stop her?

Father.

What's going on?

Who broke your heart?

Lady Park ruined my bridal night.

That's a good thing for you.

-Father. -People are saying after yesterday,

Lady Park will be shunned for life.

It's been said His Majesty's wrath reached the skies.

Is that true?

Of course.

So you must hurry and greet the Queen Dowager.

How many times did I tell you to avoid letting your elder find any faults in you?

But still, I don't want to go greet her.

Lady Park will be there.

His Majesty will…

also be there.

Court Lady Kim, what are you doing? Help me get ready.

Yes, my lady.

His Majesty ran into Lady Park's quarters?

There was turmoil through the night.

Lady Park must have made a mistake as she is unfamiliar with palace customs.

She may not know the customs,

but she must know a thing or two about men and women.

His Majesty talked big about how he'll never see her face,

but he ended up seeing her.

He needs to see her face in order for him to fall for her.

His Majesty said

he would be unable to come and greet you this morning.

I said I'll see him with my daughters-in-law,

but he won't come?

A great son like His Majesty will not treat his mother with disdain.

He must be feeling under the weather.

You are right.

I cannot just sit around as his mother.

Send the royal physician immediately.

It'll be a rough day.

I heard His Majesty came last night.

The guests in the annex need to go into the palace.

I'll call for someone who'll escort the guests.

I will go.

This is lowly and dangerous.

Our family's fate is upon this.

We better keep this secret away from others.

Do as you like.

My lady.

Thank you.

Is this a dream, or is it real?
