The Queen's Umbrella (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

UNDER THE QUEEN'S UMBRELLA
Goodness.
Why are we making such a fuss
out of a contest?
They should just hold a scholarly contest.
I do not understand why he is holding
the contest outside of the palace walls.
If you do not feel confident,
remove your son's identification plaque.
One must be superior at everything
for him to become the Crown Prince
who will take charge of his kingdom.
Your Majesty.
There seemed to be a problem
with the method, so we had a chat.
Please do not say that.
If you do not fancy the method,
then your son may drop out of the contest.
Would you like to withdraw Prince Bogeom?
If the safety of the princes
or anything else concerns you,
you may remove the plaque now.
I hear your position…
as the Queen is at stake
in this contest. Is it true?
Yes, it is true.
If none of the Grand Princes is selected,
I will step down as queen.
Why? Would you like
to bet your position too?
How could my humble position
compare to yours, Your Majesty?
Consort Hwang.
Even if
one of my Grand Princes
ascends the throne,
I will make sure you keep your position.
I need the Third Senior Consort,
the Fourth Junior Consort,
and the First Junior Consort
to let my position as the Queen
shine even brighter.
I only hope the Grand Princes
will prove their competence
so that you will keep
your position as the Queen.
The Queen might be replaced as well
at this rate.
You are right.
It will depend on
who becomes the Crown Prince.
Then whom shall I side with?
Consort Hwang, of course.
Considering the support of the officials
and his age,
-Prince Uiseong is the most promising.
-No.
Prince Bogeom shall not be disregarded
-if you only consider their competence.
-Not Prince Bogeom!
Think of how we treated Consort Tae
with contempt and disdain.
I am not pleased with your conversation.
Why do you not consider
Prince Simso at all?
We will all be doomed once the bloodbath
begins if we choose the wrong side.
What is it?
You must hit the target
five times within the allotted time
to qualify to compete
in the next round of the contest.
Pass!
When the wind blows,
close your eyes and feel the wind.
You do not fight against the wind.
You make use of it.
The key is
how boldly you ojojun.
OJOJUN: AIMING AWAY FROM THE TARGE
DUE TO THE CLIMATE AND OTHER SURROUNDINGS
100 POINTS!
90 POINTS!
80 POINTS!
During the contest,
you will not be considered princes,
but inspectors.
-Find Seo Ham-deok, give the royal edict…
-Find Seo Ham-deok, give the royal edict…
-Find Park Gyeong-u, give the royal edict…
-Find Park Gyeong-u, give the royal edict…
Find them, give them the royal edict,
and escort them in the palanquin.
You have four days.
Park Gyeong-u?
I hear there is Seo Ham-deok too.
How could he bring in the ones
who were opposed to this dynasty
and even refused to take office?
The King has completely lost it.
What do you think he is up to?
How far will you go?
To a place where they will
not be able to find me.
The contest assignments
are causing controversy,
so I am on the run.
These days,
I am often reminded
of your time as Crown Prince.
You confidently said that
once you become the King,
you would not mind anybody
and make your subjects work ceaselessly.
I was quite daring as the Crown Prince.
Yes.
That is why
I was very glad.
Because these assignments
seemed to be given
by that daring Crown Prince.
Indeed,
you know me best, My Queen.
A friend for life,
and a person I have relied on to hold out.
That is you, My Queen.
It would be wonderful
if you also had such a subject.
Back in the day,
I also had a friend
who shared the same ways.
Are you referring
to Park Gyeong-u?
He may have turned his back on you,
but he could be
a loyal subject of a Crown Prince.
Is that what you thought?
I cannot fool your eyes.
Over my life as the King,
it has been so hard
to discover great talents.
And it is even harder
to win such a great talent
over to my side.
That is why I wanted to give
the Crown Prince
a chance to personally invite a talent
who will be their subject.
However, Your Majesty,
I am concerned
that the contest may become overheated
and jeopardize the safety of the princes.
I am already prepared for that, My Queen.
So that shaman is accurate
as if he has already seen the future?
The prince
who will be crowned
as the Crown Prince is…
I can see him.
I can see.
Let me see its horseshoes.
When did you replace the horseshoes?
About 15 days ago.
Would you like this one?
No, its chin groove is too narrow.
It will end up gasping for breath.
I would like to see another one.
THE METICULOUS ONE!
I will take that horse.
THE DANGEROUS ONE!
Face Reader.
Do I have the face of a Crown Prince?
You probably guessed from the way I look.
I am actually a prince.
Right.
I see.
I do not wish in any way
to become the Crown Prince,
but I must become one
for the sake of my mother.
That is my worry.
I am sure it is.
I hate that boring life
of being locked up in the palace.
What if I continue in this contest
and really become the Crown Prince?
THE BRAZEN ONE!
Do not worry.
I do not see it in you.
However,
you are overflowing with luck in romance.
You will soon come across two women.
One of the women
will give you something more important
than any treasure.
I am already rich,
so I do not care for money.
It is something you cannot buy with money.
I hope you recognize
the woman of your fate.
The woman of my fate?
Who could it be?
Anyway, where is the posthouse?
My lady!
Are you…
the woman of my fate?
What?
HEINOUS TRAITOR SEO HAM-DEOK
What are you doing?
It is a serious crime
to destroy a traitor's composite.
His Majesty has pardoned him as of today.
THE DARING ONE!
It is him.
Do you know this handsome man
who ran off with my money?
What? He ran off with your money?
My older brother?
"Older brother"?
He is not someone who would do that.
I think so too,
but he did take the silver knife
my mother had bequeathed me.
If it was from your mother,
it must be dear to you.
Very much so.
So please tell me.
Where is your brother right now?
This horse is not well either.
They all must have had something wrong.
They are all sick.
I apologize, but you should visit
the next posthouse.
Then I will take that horse.
Pardon?
But that one is an untamed wild horse.
It will be difficult to control
unless you are excellent with horses.
I will befriend it starting now.
THE HANDSOME ONE?
THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE ONE!
This must get to Prince Uiseong
before he reaches Mount Gyeryong.
Hurry.
I have found information on Park Gyeong-u
in the records of the Ministry of Justice
and Sungkyunkwan.
Oh, my.
This is such useful information.
Prince Bogeom is highly competent,
but he has no officials to back him up,
so I partnered him up with them.
It feels very worthwhile
to see all of you working together.
Things have been so unfair until this day.
Once Prince Bogeom passes this assignment,
we will become even busier.
My son and I will do our best
to meet your expectations.
I would love
to chat some more with you over tea,
but I reckon you have no time to waste.
The concubines are making unusual moves.
Your Majesty.
Why are you so at peace?
Are you asking me
why I am embroidering in this situation?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Chief State Councilor and the
court officials are with Prince Uiseong.
Other subjects with the Queen Dowager
are starting to help Prince Bogeom.
How long will you sit on your hands?
I am not sitting on my hands.
I am doing something.
They are blatantly creating a fuss.
I need to do something.
Then you should really do something.
You are probably the only one
who is playing by the rules in the palace.
Do not worry.
I will not play by the rules
only to face defeat. I am not that naive.
I have faith in something too.
I am confident.
Brother taught me and trained me.
The Crown Prince taught me how to be one.
I believe my chances are high.
Very well.
Once we turn to the taekhyeon,
you must prove
that you are worthy of being crowned.
I am ready to face that.
However, I will do my best
to stop those who cheat.
You see,
it is much harder to play by the rules
than to resort to tricks.
Though I agree those who cheat
are much more hard-working and diligent.
All finished.
It is information on Park Gyeong-u.
It is over if someone catches it.
Do not worry.
She is quick and agile. She will pass it
to Prince Bogeom without getting caught.
Over there. It is her.
This is a written oath of our loyalty.
Oh, my.
I believe in sincerity,
not some piece of paper like this.
Prove your loyalty to me.
How shall we do that?
Prince Yeongmin
and Prince Hwapyeong
must give up on the contest.
Your Grace.
Court Lady Shin
from the Queen's quarters is here.
Since the princes suddenly left the palace
for the contest,
you all must be surprised and concerned.
That is why I prepared this
for the sake of your peace.
-Bring them in.
-Bring them in.
It must be refreshments.
Your Majesty.
What is all this?
As you can see,
a folding screen for embroidery.
You can each take up a panel
and begin embroidering.
An entire panel?
Yes, we must put in all of our hearts
to wish for the safe return
of our princes.
Once we are finished,
I am planning to gift it
to the new Crown Prince.
So please, do your best.
I am sure
it will also help you find peace.
But Your Majesty,
I do not think
embroidering will help us find peace.
It helped me.
Once I finished this,
the most tranquil peace
began to overflow in my heart.
Deciding the Crown Prince
is a serious matter.
The women of the palace
must put our hearts together too.
Do you wish for us to remain here
until we complete this?
That is correct.
If we are in need of more threads,
we can share them with one another,
and we can chat too.
Is this not wonderful?
I will put all my heart into it.
Yes, please do.
Excuse me, Your Majesty.
I do not have a child
whom I can wish for a safe return.
All of the children of His Majesty
are our children.
By the way,
I do not see Consort Ko.
Yes, I am coming.
I have enough room for this.
Over here!
Here.
I did not order anything.
We only serve hot soup with rice.
Eat it while it is hot.
Let me see.
I am sorry.
Is that all you can say after hitting me?
Is that so?
Get up. Come here.
THE TIMID ONE!
Why are you doing this?
Why are you doing this?
Mother.
What are you doing here?
No matter where you are,
look sharp to be treated nicely.
Always keep your garments neat.
If you wish to take a step closer
to the crown,
you must be at least ten steps
ahead of the other princes.
Who are you looking for?
I am looking for Seo Ham-deok.
Here is information on him.
But this goes against the rules.
Do you think the others
are any different from me?
No.
They all do these things
behind others' backs.
-But…
-Silence.
Travel without stopping
at taverns or posthouses.
The only way for you to beat the other
princes is to get there earlier than them.
If you take the shortcut through An-eup,
you will arrive at Mount Gyeryong
a few hours early.
I put everything I have into you.
So do not disappoint me.
Report to me immediately
once Consort Ko arrives.
Do not let them leave even for a second.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I must relieve myself.
A seolgi, chamber pot,
is prepared next door.
If you must go, please.
Forget it.
Just finish embroidering quickly.
Then you will be able to leave.
Embroidery is just an excuse.
We are practically locked up.
Why is she suddenly
telling us to embroider?
Her Majesty has tied our hands and feet.
Were you going to do something
if your hands and feet were not tied up?
It looked like you went out this morning.
Consort Tae.
Do you have a lot of free time?
I cannot afford to have any free time.
I am wanted here and there.
Right.
Consort Tae, what did you discuss
with the Queen Dowager this morning?
We just had a chat over tea.
She asked me to stop by often from now on.
In that case, is she giving her support
to Prince Bogeom?
Well,
Prince Bogeom has always been bright,
so she has adored him since childhood.
Consort Tae.
After a handful of attention
from the Queen Dowager,
you have become frivolous
and blinded.
Who knows if it will be
a handful or a hefty amount?
Right.
Have Prince Yeongmin and Prince Hwapyeong
given up on the contest?
Oh, my, they must have given up.
Come to think of it, even the princes
who are of age have given up,
but that young Prince Hodong
continues to contend.
He is quite commendable.
I was worried about
how he would manage out there,
as he is a boy who needs five meals a day.
Who would have known that
he was a boy with such great ambition?
Prince Hodong, do you wish
to become the Crown Prince?
I just want to eat
a lot of good food before I return.
What about you?
Now that I am out here,
I would like to meet Master Munpil.
Who is that?
My icon.
He is the best astronomer in Joseon.
Then you will not
take part in the contest?
No, I am headed to Haeseo.
HAESEO: OLD NAME OF HWANGHAE PROVINCE
Will you come with me?
Then you can manage on your own.
Haeseo is really famous for its dumplings.
It is your loss.
Did you just say dumplings?
When I take a bite of moist dumplings,
the rich broth will flow out.
Will you join me?
JUST LITTLE KIDS!
I do not know who you are,
but thank you.
Follow His Royal Highness.
Protect him from danger,
but you are not allowed to intervene.
The rest, gather evidence
and remove the bodies.
He is Yi Eok-geun, a robber.
Why will you not move?
Let us go!
Let us go. Come on.
Let us go!
Let us go.
Goodness.
Your horse looks very sturdy.
Who are you people?
Who do you think we are?
Can you not tell?
All of you.
I am an inspector.
Step back at once!
Sure.
-I will take that too.
-I told you to step back!
Yes, sure, Lord Inspector.
We will go away now.
-Farewell, my lord.
-Goodbye.
Thank you.
Let us go.
Here. Go and have some hot soup with rice.
Wait…
Cho-wol!
I came to see you before my long journey.
Cho-wol!
Young master.
Did you come
after hearing the news of Cho-wol?
I am glad you came.
You need to stop her.
I said no.
You begged me to teach you
how to play an instrument, so I did.
But you cannot be a courtesan.
I have already made up my mind.
Cho-wol said
she will become a courtesan?
Do you mean I must complete this
-to leave this chamber?
-Yes.
Consort Ko, you started off late,
so you better hurry.
Consort Hwang.
Why are you not embroidering?
I cannot seem
to paint a picture in my head.
What will suit the new Crown Prince best?
I cannot seem to think of it.
It is not that
this task is too difficult to begin.
It is difficult
because you have not begun, is it not?
If I cannot complete what I begin,
what is the point?
Your Majesty.
Consort Ko, where have you been?
I heard of my father's illness
and went to visit him in a hurry.
Are you sure?
I did not find much today.
Is there a man
named Park Gyeong-u on this island?
Goodness.
Is he also here to take Master Hyomyeong?
Watch your mouth.
What does this concern?
I am here to escort him
on the orders of the King.
Who would dare to attack
Grand Prince Seongnam?
A group of bandits
led by a man named Yi Eok-geun.
These red arrowheads
are a symbol of that group.
So he was attacked by bandits?
Yes, their leader, Yi Eok-geun,
was found dead on the scene.
If it were not for the Palace Guards,
Grand Prince Seongnam
could have lost his life.
No…
This was not done by some bandits.
Hey.
It is dangerous here. Take another route.
Hurry.
All right.
Goodness, what is with you all?
I mean, it is not like there is no boat.
The water is still too. Let us cross over.
How many times do I have to tell you?
We cannot go today.
You are driving us crazy!
If we cannot go in,
what are we going to do?
Has the government office placed a ban?
Pardon?
No, well…
Anyway, I am not sailing today,
so please return.
-Move aside.
-Come on!
-Just let us cross!
-What is with you?
-Please!
-Come on!
-What is with you?
-Let us cross over.
-He is driving us insane.
-What do we do?
What is wrong with him?
My goodness.
Hey, you are going to get yourself killed!
Wait…
Kang.
Will you be able to replace your brother?
What I mean is,
you must become the Crown Prince.
I solved it, Master.
Let me see.
If I add 46 to 28, it is 74.
Precisely. You have done well.
Excellent.
Then I will teach you
how to express hundreds and thousands.
Bring 20 counting sticks.
Master, Yeon-ji lost her box of sticks,
so she does not have any.
Why would you tell him that?
That is rather troublesome.
How am I going to teach you the method
without counting sticks?
Ones, vertical.
Tens, horizontal.
Hundreds will rise
and thousands will fall.
Who are you to meddle with my class?
I am an inspector
who is here to escort you.
It is very significant to see
how a straw mat can turn
the street into a village school.
But how would you like to use your wisdom
for the sake of the kingdom?
"Hear, Park Gyeong-u."
"You are hereby appointed
as Minister of Taxation."
"Accept the edict immediately,
take the palanquin,
and come to the palace."
Minister of Taxation?
-This is a royal command.
-Enough with the nonsense.
He may be your king, but he is not mine.
Very well.
Let me teach you how to express hundreds.
Remove the counting sticks.
Minister of Taxation?
How could His Majesty appoint someone
who left him out of spite?
Also, traitor Seo Ham-deok will be
the head of the Royal Commandery Division.
How can he appoint him
without consulting me,
the Minister of War?
We must stop him.
We especially cannot bring
Seo Ham-deok back to the palace.
What do you mean?
He must return to the palace
for Prince Uiseong to be crowned.
Did you forget
the Minister of Personnel and I
annihilated all of Seo Ham-deok's family?
Chief State Councilor,
will you sit quietly like this?
We did what we did on your orders.
You are sitting there on this day
only because you did that much.
Chief State Councilor.
His Majesty wishes to see you.
Do you know what this is?
This is the arrow that threatened
Grand Prince Seongnam's life
during the contest.
Your Majesty.
Are you doubting my loyalty to you?
I gave you a chance
because I know how loyal you are.
If I did not,
I would have crowned a direct heir
without this contest.
Did you just say "chance"?
You are calling in a man who rejected you
to leave the economy of the kingdom to him
and appointing the son of the traitor
as the head of the
Royal Commandery Division.
Is that what you call giving me a chance?
So are you saying…
you know nothing at all about this arrow?
How could a loyal subject of Your Majesty
dare to go after a Grand Prince's life?
-Who would dare to--
-Whoever dared
to go after the Grand Prince's life
will be revealed by me
and I will make sure of that.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Please get to the bottom of it.
It is only proper
that the truth is revealed.
It should not be left as a mystery,
unlike the death of Crown Prince Taein.
You were there when it happened.
So you know very well what I mean.
Are you…
threatening me right now?
Not at all, Your Majesty.
All I wish to do is find out the truth.
Therefore,
I hope you do everything you can
to get to the bottom of the incident
of Grand Prince Seongnam.
However, I am afraid
some may take your actions as a means
of asserting Your Majesty's influence
over the contest.
For at times,
the truth is created.
I was informed
you stopped the investigation
against those who attacked
Grand Prince Seongnam.
I am not stopping it.
I will resume the investigation
after the contest is over.
After the contest,
you will lose the witnesses
and whatever evidence is left,
Your Majesty.
This arrow is the only evidence.
If I push ahead,
it will only provoke the officials.
It is obvious they will protest
and say I am trying to affect the contest.
These people were
after Grand Prince Seongnam's life.
My child could have died.
I am his father too.
Yet I am the father of the subjects
and the people of this kingdom.
I am not saying I will not do it.
I am simply postponing it.
Can you not understand, My Queen?
I do. I understand you completely.
However,
your son could have died.
Are you saying
you are hesitant because of the ones
who may have killed your son?
How can a father
who cannot protect his own son
protect the people of his kingdom?
I will not let the ones
who tried to hurt my son
live to see another day.
I will do this as a mother of my children,
not as the Queen.
I will not harm Your Majesty in any way.
You must return.
Do not harass me anymore.
I will not return
until I have finished my assignment.
He used the power of disloyal subjects
to become the King, so that is that.
What does he want to do at this point?
I agree.
Who are you?
Are you another inspector?
Yes, you consider the royal edict
as something less important than dog feces
so he sent two inspectors for you.
However, you must take
only one edict between us two.
Inspectors, are you in a contest?
Forget that.
Even if one hundred inspectors
come for me,
I am not going.
I heard you and His Majesty
were close friends on the same side.
But you were against his enthronement
because he was a child of a concubine.
Was politics more important
than your friend's cause?
Politics?
It is only your prejudice
to divide people by left and right.
If you do not care
about politics or principles,
why do you continue
to turn down his royal command?
Both my eyes do not work,
so I cannot see anything.
Even if I went to the palace
and had a good look,
how could I discern anything?
So you can go and tell him
that I am blind
and cannot even be an adjunct overseer,
let alone the Minister of Taxation.
What if I can prove
that you can still see?
If I do prove it,
give me three days of time.
Very well then.
What will you do
if you are unable to prove it?
I will leave the island with him.
Wait, why should I go?
I lost.
I will leave just as I promised.
Look here!
What are you doing?
Did your eyes open
after seeing a lunatic?
These lunatics who see
nothing but what they want
came for this blind man!
Goodness gracious!
Are you not going to help me?
Hey!
Hey!
This is the body of the leader,
Yi Eok-geun.
Why is his neck swollen?
Pardon?
His neck was not that swollen
during the autopsy.
-Check it.
-Yes, Your Majesty.
This foreign substance absorbed water
and became swollen.
PILSAL: KILL AT ALL COSTS
Is this not a composite
of Grand Prince Seongnam?
They were not simple bandits.
They were clearly
after Grand Prince Seongnam's life.
Does anyone here know what this arrow is?
I did not want any princes
to be wounded or hurt in this contest.
However,
someone went after
Grand Prince Seongnam's life.
A group of bandits
led by a man named Yi Eok-geun.
This is under investigation,
so I will soon find out
who is behind this.
I captured the remaining bandits.
That is enough for today.
You may all return.
Who on earth tried to kill
Grand Prince Seongnam?
Perhaps it was Consort Ko.
She went out today.
What on earth is going on?
Your Majesty,
you kept them here for a reason.
If you let them go now,
they may do something else again.
And why did you show them the arrow?
If I were the suspect,
I would destroy the remaining evidence.
That is exactly why I showed them.
Pardon?
If anybody knows anything about the arrow,
they will want to know how much I know
and if I have any other evidence.
That is why I misinformed them
that I captured Yi Eok-geun's men.
Then did you let the concubines go
on purpose?
That is right.
The first one to leave the palace
will lead you to the suspect.
You will be able to find the lead
to capture the rest of the bandits
that ran off.
What do you mean
the subleader has disappeared?
It seems that they were indeed after
Grand Prince Seongnam's life.
We told them to act as robbers
to simply hold him back.
I am suspecting that
someone may have intervened.
Who would intervene
and ruin everything like this?
I may end up taking the blame!
My apologies.
Do whatever it takes
to find the subleader.
I must find out who intervened.
Chief State Councilor
is also after the subleader.
What do you mean by that?
That means…
they had a falling out.
I must find the subleader
to shed light upon this.
However, he has completely disappeared
without a trace.
In that case,
Chief State Councilor's men
will become hunting dogs for us.
All we have to do is tail them
to find the subleader.
However,
we must get our hands on him first.
May I use this room?
Look at that…
Good grief.
Prince Bogeom, I did not think
you would really leave.
I thought of the gains and losses.
However, not saving you
was more advantageous for me.
How can you think of that
when I almost died?
It was your choice to jump off the cliff.
Also, if I saved you,
it would go against the contest rule
that says we cannot accept any help.
If you are going to be so calculative,
why are you sponging off me?
I am the one who proved that
Park Gyeong-u is not blind,
and I also got
three days of time from him.
What are you doing?
I must sleep before haesi.
HAESI: TWENTY-FIRST HOUR TO TWENTY-THIRD
What are you doing?
I have never slept before then.
I am cold.
I am hot.
Why three days?
What is your plan?
Plan? I do not have one.
We only have three days anyway.
I will do whatever it takes.
What is your plan?
At any rate, we are too different.
What an odd taste
Master Park Gyeong-u has.
One day has passed.
Once these fish are gone,
may you be gone as well.
Goodness.
Do you usually catch
this many ocean quahogs here?
Yes, they are in season right now.
-Look.
-Did you get another one?
Young lady, is that not the man?
The man in that drawing.
He looks exactly like the drawing.
My lord!
My lord!
This is from Lady Cheong-ha.
My lord!
Father, you always told me
a man should have high ambitions
once he is born,
and a woman should have
great insight to recognize such a man.
I, your eldest daughter,
will take a journey upon your words.
I found the man I wish to marry.
Why did you not come that day?
I waited so long for you.
What are you doing?
Do you not remember me?
The knife at the dispensary.
You recognize me.
I really missed you.
My name is Yoon Cheong-ha.
What is your name?
I must find them and shut their mouths
before the Queen finds more evidence.
I am after them right now,
so do not worry.
I kept His Majesty tied down.
There is nothing the Queen can do alone.
No.
The Queen is the one
who can make His Majesty take action.
I cannot rest assured
until I drag her down.
The Queen…
still holds great power.
This is very nice.
Goodness, welcome. How may I help you?
Have you seen this man?
I do not know him.
Give me a moment, will you?
I still have my skills from my glory days.
-Oh, my.
-After him!
Please spare me!
Please spare my life.
If I were going to spare you,
I would not have found you.
I am wondering what I can do
to give you the most tormenting death.
Why are you doing this to me?
Please spare my life.
If you tell me everything that happened
in Mount Gangun,
you may live to see a few more days.
I only did as I was told.
I do not know anything.
If you wish to live,
tell me everything
you saw and heard.
On that day,
someone came to me in haste.
Horses and money.
Take everything they have.
Here is one hundred nyang.
Should I…
take their lives too?
No, they cannot be hurt in any way.
It must look like a simple robbery.
Then why?
Why did you
try to kill one of them?
What do you mean?
We just tried to rob them.
We were raided by another group,
so all we did was run away.
Have you seen this before?
Who gave you this composite?
All I did was
what the leader told me to do.
I do not know anything else.
You do not know anything else?
Then you leave me no choice.
Someone else came right after.
She was a woman.
That woman heard the order
from the man who came before her,
then made another request to us.
So what exactly are you looking for?
PILSAL
When that woman with a frog hairpin
passed by me,
I smelled peony.
Did you…
just say peony?
Your Royal Highness, Her Majesty is here.
Let her in.
Your Royal Highness,
allow me to apologize for my misconduct.
Filial impiety
is the gravest sin of them all.
But I have shown you
nothing but disrespect.
What are you up to?
I am here to apologize
to my mother-in-law.
What other motive could I hold?
This is a small gift from me to you.
Is this not a cuckoo pint?
How could you present
a poisonous plant to me?
I dearly wish
you would live all of your years.
That way,
you will receive my devotion
for a long time.
I do not think that is something you say
while giving me a poisonous plant.
Whether this will turn into
medicine or poison
is up to you.
If you hurt the Grand Princes once again,
I will
decoct this cuckoo pint myself
and give it to you.
How dare you threaten your mother-in-law?
You ordered them
to end the Grand Prince's life for good
through a court lady
who smelled like peony.
I am not threatening you.
I am giving you a chance
to ask for forgiveness.
Those bandits are in my hands.
Therefore,
you must stop here.
If you take one more step,
I shall…
expose every immoral thing
you have committed against your grandson
and make you pay the price.
Please…
preserve your health.
UNDER THE QUEEN'S UMBRELLA
Think about it carefully.
You never know what can happen.
Does it not seem like all the money
he made from selling ocean quahogs
and the store are going into his pocket?
The villagers sometimes come here to pray.
But I feel rather reluctant…
I am here to reveal the ugly truth
behind Grand Prince Gyeseong.
Were you waiting for me?
She told me I should not have returned
even if I stopped breathing.
Do not think my hands and feet are tied.
I am afraid there will come a time
for you and I to work together.
