---

It is indeed my Lord the King!

Do you believe that

I would not recognize my King?

Your Majesty, I have a small

red birthmark on my body.

Where is it?

On your left bosom.

Lower that sword at once.

How dare you?

Will you have me

reveal my bosom?

Punish me with death,

Your Majesty.

I shall pay for my sins

with my life.

Long live my King!

I'll fetch the court ladies.

Madam.

Madam!

Captain! Captain!

Finish this porridge

and come for your sword.

What?

These are the words

of His Majesty.

Tell me what your sins are.

Drawing a sword upon

Your Majesty's royal person.

Wrong.

Daring to suspect Your Majesty.

Wrong again.

The King's personal guard, who

must protect me with his life,

tried to take his own life.

If that does not consist treason,

what would?

I don't care how many times

you draw the sword at my neck.

But you must live

in order for me to live.

Don't you understand

how important your life is?

How did the porridge taste?

Sweet and delicious.

You must live

to be able to taste.

This sword,

you shall only draw it

for me alone.

Remember that.

Do you think he fell for it?

He is a man to be

reckoned with.

Sire!

How long was I here?

A fortnight by tomorrow,

Your Majesty.

What is that?

It's poppy, Your Majesty.

It's the poison that

clouded your mind.

Your Majesty.

Who would do such a thing?

It was Court Lady Ahn.

Minister Park Chung-seo

was behind this?

Yes, Your Majesty.

What an evil man!

I'll prepare for your return at once

and reveal their atrocious crimes...

No.

There is no need to rush.

But, Sire.

The Court is in the hands

of Park Chung-seo.

An ill-prepared attack

would only backfire.

After all, it wasn't poison.

Let's take care of

the double first.

What is the matter?

You care for him now?

No, Sire.

You can't spare the lowly thing

who sat on the throne.

We beg Your Majesty to take heed.

Your Majesty.

As long as the daughter of

a Northerner remains the Queen,

plots of treason shall not cease.

Are you suggesting that

my Queen is the root of treason?

In the center of all conspiracies

were the relatives of the Queen.

Your Majesty must uphold

the laws of the Court.

Are you telling me that

ditching the Queen like a dog

would be the law of the Court?

Your Majesty.

You made a promise that you

would depose the Queen

and make the concubine who carries

a royal heir the new Queen.

Grant your royal permission.

Grant your royal permission.

We beg Your Majesty to take heed.

I shall depose the Queen

as you advise me.

However,

if the Queen must be deposed

for not being Westerners like you,

I shall depose myself as well...

...since I'm not a Westerner either.

Withdraw your command, Your Majesty.

Withdraw your command, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Withdraw your command!

Your Majesty!

I beg Your Majesty to take heed!

We beg Your Majesty to take heed!

Get out of my way!

Tread on our backs if you must.

Your Majesty.

Tread on our backs, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Where are you going?

I don't know.

Please stop.

We'll still be within

the walls of the Court.

Leave this palace, Madam.

You can hide for a while,

then leave.

I'm the King, I can do

as I wish.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

No one passes this gate,

understood?

But, the laws of the Court...

I'm counting on you.

Why are you doing this?

Madam.

Why have pity on me?

Do you feel sorry now that

my end is coming?

Return to your quarters.

You said I promised!

That I would stay by your side,

until the end of days.

That I would never let go

of your hand.

Don't make me cry, my Lord.

What do you mean,

there are two kings?

Did you see with your own eyes?

Yes, my Lord.

I see.

If one is an imposter,

what will happen if

one of them disappears?

First of all, we'll make sure

which is the real King.

Did you look into it?

On the 3rd and 6th, when the King

was out on a night trip,

night snack was served

in the King's quarters.

Are you certain of it?

It's recorded in the journal

and I checked with the matron.

Good work.

Your Highness, did you hear

the horrid rumors

that His Majesty is not

the real King?

Also, the scar on His Majesty's chest

seems to have disappeared.

Is Lady Jeong there?

I shall get going.

Please stay.

Get in the bed, Your Majesty.

I must go see about

an urgent matter.

You are my dear husband

before you're my King.

It's the will of the Heavens

that husband and wife unite.

Please take off your robe.

Queen, no!

You can't!

You mustn't do this.

Madam.

Please.

Madam.

Madam.

Reveal your identity.

What do you mean?

I'm the 15th King of Joseon.

Do you wish to be dead?

Leave at once.

Do you believe you'll live

when the King returns?

Screams will fill the Court again,

and I shall one day be deposed.

Your lowly body shall be

thrown in some river.

Where is the King?

Forgive me, Your Highness.

This is the command of the King.

Holding his whereabouts in secret,

having an imposter take his place.

And saving my brother?

All of it was the King's wish?

Or... was it yours, Secretary?

Your Highness.

Please turn a blind eye to it

for a few more days.

What will happen

when this is over?

To the man that

looks like the King.

The Queen knows about it.

She said that I shall be killed.

That if the officials let me live,

the King shall have me killed.

You should've run.

Why did you come back?

I remembered the promise.

Take this.

20 more silver coins,

as I promised.

I ask you if my life is worth

less than that of a chicken.

Shut up and listen.

Leave the Court tomorrow

in the dead of night.

You have never seen me

nor spoken to me.

This is the royal creed

for tomorrow's conference.

Just tell them to do

as they see fit.

That will be your last mission

as the King's stand-in.

Sire.

Sa-wol to see His Majesty.

I have a favor for you, Secretary.

I promised her

that I would find her mother.

Please see to the matter

on my behalf.

Sa-wol.

Take it.

It's no longer of use to me.

Go on.

Find her mother and

get her back to her.

This is not a favor

but my last royal

command to you.

Sa-wol.

It's a cinnamon sweet.

Put it in your mouth

and slip it in the porridge.

My Lady, what's in the sweet?

I don't know.

All I know is that

if you don't do it,

it'll be the death

of you and me.

I heard it was you who ordered

the release of my brother.

Why did you do it?

Why did you go out of your way?

I thought if I did,

I could make you smile.

A bright smile on your face.

I'll leave the palace tomorrow night,

in the light of the full moon.

I don't care if you stay in the Court

or get thrown out.

Please stay alive.

Including 45,000 silver coins,

70 tributes in 13 categories have been

prepared for the Imperial Palace of Ming.

I propose Your Majesty to bestow

8 pounds of gold upon the envoy.

What a splendid idea!

Do as you see fit.

As for troop dispatch,
