EPISODE 7

Play that secret game with me instead of the Grand Heir.

Are you also the one who poisoned his meal?

No, Your Majesty.

That was not me.

I swear.

But you did stick him with a needle?

Who is it?

Whose order was it?

They took my family hostage.

So I had no choice.

Kill me, Your Majesty.

Very well then.

I will.

If you wish to die without pain,

tell me who was behind it.

If I tell you,

my family will die.

Tell me who was behind it,

and I will save your family.

So tell me this instant.

You will not…

be able to do so.

They are…

far more formidable than you,

Your Majesty.

No!

-Do not! -Lady!

-Lady! -No!

-No! -Lady!

No…

Search thoroughly!

If poison is found, all your families will be annihilated!

There is a problem, Your Majesty.

What happened?

There was a small fire.

Fortunately, it was extinguished immediately.

But it could have been very bad.

-Court Lady Shin. -Yes, Your Majesty.

Starting now, no one may enter my quarters

without my permission.

I cannot…

trust anyone anymore.

Your Majesty.

What should we do about the interrogation tomorrow?

If something happens to you,

His Highness the Grand Heir will be in great danger.

Keep an eye out

for the movements of the Queen Dowager.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, you should come out.

Your Majesty.

Allow me to leave the palace.

Crown Princess.

I lost my husband

in this palace.

I do not wish to lose my children as well.

Please allow me to leave the palace.

I cannot do that.

Someone poisoned the meal of the Grand Heir

and set fire to his bedchamber.

In your quarters, at that.

And we have not been able to find any evidence,

let alone the suspect.

As long as the Grand Heir stays in the palace,

the murder attempts will continue.

He is not any safer outside the palace.

Your Majesty, I beg you.

What are you all waiting for?

Escort the Crown Princess to her chamber.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Royal Highness!

What do you think you are doing?

What can a woman possibly do after losing her husband?

If something happens to the Grand Heir,

I will have no reason to live.

Is a woman unable to do anything

after losing her husband?

You must pull yourself together and survive

to be able to protect your son

and yourself.

No, Your Majesty.

Leaving the palace is the only way

to protect him.

So please allow me.

If you do not,

I will take my life right here.

You are a mother.

How could you point a knife at yourself?

If I were you,

I would use that bravery to protect the Grand Heir.

Why did you halt the interrogation?

The Queen killed the Crown Prince.

She should pay the price.

How can you be so certain of that?

No parent in the world would kill their own child.

If you keep being this way,

I will have to step in.

It is not hard

to bring the Queen down.

Sure.

You have done it once. Of course, you can do it again.

Deposing the Queen should be child's play for you.

-Your Majesty! -What is it?

Will you also replace the King if I do not listen to you?

What are you so afraid of?

Just what are you so afraid of?

Everything.

I am scared of the court officials out there

as well as my mother who is standing in front of me.

I fear the Queen has something to do with the medicine from the outside.

I am also dreading people being reminded of the death of Crown Prince Taein

and that they will drag me off this filthy throne!

I fear all of it.

Did you just say

the throne was filthy?

After

all that I went through…

to put you on that throne?

It was not for my sake. It was for your own sake, was it not?

You wanted it too.

You are the one…

who started all this,

not I.

What do I lack that the Crown Prince possesses?

Why am I not even given a chance?

I want to be the Crown Prince, Mother.

If you had not wanted it,

I would not even have started.

So,

are you saying this throne belongs to you?

It does not.

I am

the King.

And I am the one

who made you king.

Give your consent to the taekhyeon .

If you do not,

I will bring the Queen down with my own hands.

It was revealed that the medicine from the outside killed the Crown Prince.

And the person who brought it in was Her Majesty the Queen.

Can you hear anything? What is she saying? Is she all right?

Be quiet.

Hey, move.

-I cannot hear anything because of you. -Move it.

My goodness.

Your Highness.

What brings all of you here?

Mother.

See? I told you she would be okay.

You were worried more than any of us were.

That is not true.

You were.

We came because they wanted to see how you were doing.

I heard you skipped your meal.

Did you

come because you were worried about me?

I heard you went through a lot at the interrogation today.

It was no big deal.

You should take care of yourself, Mother.

We brought your favorite, chicken dumplings.

They have little fat so are easy on the stomach.

I see.

You came at the right time.

I was starting to feel hungry.

It tastes good.

By the way, Mother,

if the taekhyeon is approved, will my brothers and I be killed?

Yul.

Who said that?

Some eunuchs said

when Father became the Crown Prince,

all the Grand Princes were killed.

No.

I will never let that happen

on my watch.

So do not worry too much.

Are you not scared, Mother?

I am.

However,

when I see all of you,

all my fear is swept away.

It was not Mother.

I am the one who brought in the medicine.

I went out of the palace and had it prescribed.

Did you directly hand it to Physician Kwon

or did you hand it to the Queen?

It was revealed that the medicine killed the Crown Prince.

That means

you might have to take all the blame.

There was nothing wrong with the medicine.

Since I did it to save my brother, I will take full responsibility.

I will come clean and prove the medicine did not kill him.

What makes you think people will believe what you say?

How will you prove it?
