An important being, but one that will be forgotten over time: the king.
Poisoning (1)
영의정
Your Majesty, since the passing of the former king, Your Majesty has been deeply grieved and I am concerned that your body may be damaged.
전정국
Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine.
영의정
Your Majesty, I have consulted with my physician and brought you some herbal medicine that is good for your health. Please take it quickly.
The Prime Minister hands over the herbal medicine.
전정국
...I didn't say I was okay.
영의정
Don't be stubborn and come quickly. Your Majesty's peace is the peace of this country, isn't it?
전정국
ha...
전정국
(In the end... I end up eating it...)
Jeongguk holds the bowl of herbal medicine with trembling hands.
강내관
Your Majesty...stop!
강내관
(Looking at the Prime Minister) Even if it is a good herbal medicine for your health, how can Your Majesty drink it without checking to see if it is poisonous?
영의정
Kang Naegwan... How dare you interfere with the safety of your home?
강내관
Your Majesty, please come here. I will check.
영의정
Even so, the author!
영의정
Your Majesty, don't listen to the words of such a eunuch and eat quickly.
전정국
...Kang Naegwan's words are correct. Send it to the royal physician for confirmation, then send the herbal medicine again.
상궁
Yes, Your Majesty.
영의정
majesty!
전정국
Why, do you have more to say?
영의정
...there is none, Your Majesty.
전정국
Well then, please step back from the video. I'm tired and want to rest.
영의정
Yes, Your Majesty.
영의정
(Looking at Kang Naegwan) You bastard... I will never let today pass by without you.
(The Prime Minister leaves)
전정국
Hoyeon...thank you.
전정국
Thanks to you, I am alive.
강내관
Your Majesty... As Your Majesty's eunuch, this is my duty.
강내관
Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will protect Your Majesty.
전정국
Thank you... It seems like even the fruit has finally found its way to the table.
강내관
I am sorry, Your Majesty.
영의정
Kang Ho-yeon, he was the problem!
영의정
Get rid of him now. I will rule over him by killing him.
이조판서
Who knew there was such a big belly...haha...this is really something to see~
이조판서
The expression on the face of the king who lost the most precious person... is something to behold! Haha!
영의정
Send me the herbal medicine again tomorrow.
영의정
Tomorrow... everything will be over.
영의정
(With a mean laugh) And then, my son will become king.
호조판서
Congratulations, Your Majesty. It seems there's no one in Joseon who can beat you! Haha.
이조판서
I will carry out your orders without error, Your Majesty! Hahaha!
호조판서
Hahahahahahaha..-
전정국
......
영의정
Everyone, lower your voices. What if the King hears you?
이조판서
What if the King hears about it! Even so, it's not like the King can stop the Youngsang Lord! Haha!
호조판서
That's right, Your Majesty. Haha!
전정국
....Gangnaegwan.
전정국
Today, I'm leaving work and going home.
전정국
Today...they will try to kill you.
전정국
They won't know you're home.
강내관
Your Majesty... I swear before Your Majesty that I will serve You until the end.
강내관
If the assassins were not there, they would definitely try to harm His Majesty, so how could I retire to my home?
전정국
Just... I'd rather die... That someone dies because of me...
강내관
majesty..
전정국
...Go. It's the king's order. I hear he's offering me a poisoned potion. Just because he can't kill you, he won't try to kill me. If things go wrong... things will get complicated.
강내관
(If they find out I'm not here, they'll send an assassin to your house... If I live and cause trouble to Your Majesty... I'll gladly accept death.)
전정국
Go ahead... I'll see you tomorrow.
강내관
Yes, Your Majesty. I'll see you tomorrow.
강내관
(Your Majesty, I was the only one you could rely on... and now even I am dying... Your Majesty... please endure and become a wise king... and avenge my enemy.)
강내관
