Episode 17

Is the tea room ready?

Miss. I mean, Lady Hae.

When did you get back?

It all worked out, thanks to you.

Thank you.

I was so worried for you.

Prince Jung told me

to relay a message to you.

Did he?

There's a way to leave the Palace.

Tell him if you're interested.

An important ceremony is coming up.

It has to be perfect in every way.

Yes, Lady Hae.

Prince Wang So...

colluded with some clansmen

to delay construction of the Palace.

He added gravel to weaken the walls

and sent labourers away.

Are you sure about that?

People say Wang Sik Ryeom is ill,

which is why

the situation was poorly monitored.

Why, why, why?

What is he after?

It's not just about defying me.

The throne.

He is after the throne.

Isn't he?

I'll ask one thing before I answer.

Why did you go against our deal?

Our deal?

Men who can't pay taxes

are being sent as labourers.

Poor Hubaekje migrants

are dying building your Palace.

You are...

putting me off from wanting to...

be your eyes and ears.

So what?

Will you quit?

If I get nothing out of this, yes.

Princess Woo Hee.

No one has called you that...

in a while, right?

About Baek Ah.

He always was a bit fastidious.

People who like beautiful things...

tend to be so.

If he were to hear

you were my spy...

how do you think he'd react?

Help me.

Get me out of here, Yo.

Help me out of here.

Get me out, Yo.

Fire. Fire.

Fire.

I need some light.

Where's the flint?

Why is this--

Yo!

Let us go!

We'll never--/- Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

We grew up together.

Yo./- Go away!

Yo.

Help me out./- Yo!

Please./- Let us go!

Your Majesty./- Please let us go.

Yo.

Your Majesty?

No.

Don't come closer.

Yo.

Don't come closer. Stay there!

Go away! Don't come closer!

We must go.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty. Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Get the Court Physician!

This is an opportunity.

I will be the next King.

Prepare some horses.

I'm going to see Wang Sik Ryeom.

What?

Don't you want me to be king?

I don't.

But I hate leaving you even more.

Thank you.

You will become king.

I know that.

But you can never...

you must never...

kill any of your brothers.

Lady Hae.

Lady Hae.

Why are you so deep in thought?

Chae Ryung.

Tell everyone to stay indoors today.

They don't need to pick herbs.

Even if...

it becomes noisy outside,

we'll be safe, so calm them down.

Okay.

The King wants his medicinal tea.

Right now?

You.

What are you hiding from me?

Did you poison my tea?

No, Your Majesty.

Your eunuch tasted it already.

Now that I'm in such a mess...

I see it all started with you.

Pardon?

M00 and Eun.

Eun's wife.

Yes, even my father.

All those dead people haunt me.

It's all because of you.

The reason I decided to...

kill my brothers to become king...

was because...

you covered So's scar

and enabled him to steal my place.

He stole my place--

Your Majesty.

Yo.

So is on his way to the Palace.

Wang So...

started a revolt.

Yo. Yo.

Write it down.

Write that Jung is your heir.

Go on.

What?

We can't lose the throne.

Go on.

Write that Jung is the new King.

Then we can fight back.

Come on.

Then...

what about me?

Am I even your son?

What am I to you?

Something to feed your vanity?

Do you have no use for...

a son who is no longer King?

Yo.

Don't do this.

We might lose everything.

Leave the throne to Jung, please.

Now I think I know...

how 80 felt all these years.

Get my mother out of here!

Yo.

Yo.

Don't do this, Yo!

Yo.

Yo. Let go!

Let go of me!

Let me go. Yo!

Yo!

Let me go! Get your hands off of me!

Yo!

Let me go.

It's Prince 80!

Lock the Palace gates!

Lock the Palace gates!

I still can't reach Wook.

Park 800 Kyung joined in.

The Palace guards won't--

Mother.

Depending on your decision,

I will make up my mind.

Wook made me realise...

what I failed to teach you both.

If you wish to rule the world...

you must give something up.

Mother.

Make up your mind.

Lose love and gain the world...

or gain love

and live in a tiny pond.

What if...

I wish to rule the world?

Then...

I will give up on Wook.

I used to guard this place.

Now I'm attacking it.

I knew that in the end...

he would get it all.

What...

did I do that was so wrong?

l was afraid of being abandoned.
