Episode 19

You shouldn't be here. You're sick.

Let's go back.

Let's go.

I want to know

what you'll say today.

I won't

go back to that room.

Don't do this because of Chae Ryung.

She deceived you.

She was never honest with you.

am fine.

I am fine.

Chae Ryung

was honest with me.

Nothing you say

will change that.

So what?

Will you believe her and not me?

I want to leave the Palace.

I want to leave this place.

I cannot

take this anymore.

Do you think

I will let you go?

You can

never leave me.

Leave your brother and family

and swear allegiance to me.

Then

our son will become Crown Prince.

Goryeo

must belong to my son.

Give this to Chae Ryung's family.

This is all I have.

If they need more

I will see what I can do.

You don't have to do this.

I fear you'll only anger the King.

She thought of her family

until the day she died.

She asked for my help.

His Majesty

won't complain.

Come on inside.

Hello, Ji Mong.

Chae Ryung is dead.

Is she?

You shouldn't be so calm.

It's your fault.

What?

You have lost your mind.

You will regret this.

The day will come

when you regret

mistreating her.

Becoming the King's mistress

has made you lose your senses.

Hasn't it?/- "Mistress"?

Your Majesty.

Did you call for me?

Ji Mong told me.

I'll make you a concubine.

You don't have to.

It's better than being a mistress.

I don't like that word.

I'll make you Madam Hae.

That's a level below Queen.

Once you have a child

I'll make you Second Queen.

The reason I want to leave

isn't because I want a title.

Talk to Ji Mong

about a name.

Your Majesty.

Stop being so stubborn.

Let's not argue.

Think about how long

we had to spend being apart.

Let's not waste time

with such trivial arguments.

He'll read Zhenguan Zhengyao?

I can't tell what he's up to.

Zhenguan Zhengyao: A book

that records political conversations

between Emperor Gaozu and his men

Get me a falcon.

One that's quick and hunts well.

I don't know what the King's up to,

but if he wants to hunt,

we should play along.

Wook. We've known So for years.

We can't trust him

or let our guard down.

At the very least

we should cut off his limbs.

Do you mean Baek Ah?

He's fooling around with a Gisaeng.

He'll be easy to alienate.

Why are you hesitant?

You were legally adopted

and my mother can't wait to see you.

Is it about last time?

I suggested we pardon

all your countrymen.

It won't happen again.

They just had to pay tax to be free.

Why did they try to run away?

Baekje slaves

burned over 10 officials' houses

and dozens of clansmen

and commoners died.

We cannot let this continue.

The clansmen ask

that you send soldiers.

That means blood will be shed.

It won't end with the slaves.

If the commoners join in,

it will become a pandemic.

You must protect the clansmen.

They feel threatened

and you're doing nothing to help.

They're now hiring private armies.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Protect the clansmen.

Goryeo needs them.

Yes, Your Majesty./- Your Majesty.

Then

I shall send soldiers.

Arm them with blunt spears and wood.

I only just became King.

I want to avoid bloodshed.

I request you put

Prince Baek Ah in charge.

Prince Baek Ah cannot fight.

Why him?

There are rumours that our King

favours Baekje and Silla people

over Goryeo natives.

Baek Ah

had a clansman adopt a Baekje girl

so he can marry her.

I gave my permission.

It also means your closest ally

is under Baekje influence.

That is nonsense.

Nonsense can come true in no time.

Widespread rumours

are treated very much like facts.

You can't go.

You've never held a blade

in your life.

I hate that they

doubt Woo Hee for her heritage.

It's even worse

that we're making it hard on you.

I will lead the men myself.

You took a step back

to avoid the clansmen's scrutiny.

Once you get into the fight,

you'll be forced to take a side.

I'm not going to my death.

If I stay,

the clansmen will only add pressure.

I don't mind.

Won't you regret this?

I put on a show.

I don't know what will happen.

Now you have a wife.

Come back alive.

I don't want to become a widow.

When I come back

let's get married.

You'll always be

my spouse.

Right now, I wish

l was not from a Baekje family.

I'll always be

your spouse.

Let's go!/- Let's go!

There's something here.

"l, the King of Goryeo,

promise the Baekje migrants this.

I will check on the slaves

to ensure that they are

being treated

appropriately and fairly."

One.

Prisoners of war will be pardoned.

One.

Anyone who takes a commoner slave

will be punished severely

regardless of rank.

One.

Those pardoned will be sent back

to where they were from

and need not pay taxes for a while.

One.
