00:52:10.544 --> 00:52:12.754 I can't help but suspect they might have ill intentions. 00:52:12.838 --> 00:52:14.172 This time, it's different. 00:52:14.714 --> 00:52:17.175 His Highness has been bedridden for almost 10 days now. 00:52:17.300 --> 00:52:19.261 -What if he-- -Lower your voice. 00:52:22.430 --> 00:52:23.723 How dare you 00:52:24.182 --> 00:52:26.101 raise your voices in front of His Majesty. 00:52:29.688 --> 00:52:30.605 Your Majesty. 00:52:31.273 --> 00:52:33.984 The Crown Prince is in the prime of his youth, 00:52:34.109 --> 00:52:34.985 so I trust 00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:37.237 that he will recover soon. 00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:39.072 HWANHUPYEONGBOK: FULL RECOVERY FROM AN ILLNESS 00:52:39.239 --> 00:52:41.199 Hence, we need not be concerned. 00:52:41.616 --> 00:52:43.034 The First Vice-Premier is right. 00:52:43.910 --> 00:52:45.120 Ministers. 00:52:45.579 --> 00:52:47.914 You may no longer discuss the Crown Prince's illness. 00:52:48.540 --> 00:52:51.167 -Forgive us, Your Majesty. -Forgive us, Your Majesty. 00:52:57.090 --> 00:53:00.385 How could we depose the Crown Prince when the First Vice-Premier, 00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:02.804 who is his father-in-law, is right by the King's side? 00:53:03.847 --> 00:53:05.807 They say you must strike while the iron is hot. 00:53:06.766 --> 00:53:07.601 We must 00:53:08.101 --> 00:53:09.644 push forward in full force. 00:53:11.521 --> 00:53:13.189 A strong but inflexible army will never win. 00:53:13.481 --> 00:53:14.900 An unbending tree will easily break. 00:53:15.525 --> 00:53:17.777 That is why a powerful army can't win-- 00:53:19.487 --> 00:53:21.448 Don't you dare try to lecture me. 00:53:21.990 --> 00:53:23.617 I am the Queen, 00:53:24.200 --> 00:53:26.328 and my son is His Majesty's legitimate prince. 00:53:27.329 --> 00:53:29.789 So why is the son of that dead woman, Shin, the Crown Prince?

00:54:36.398 --> 00:54:38.692 Once, I couldn't drink it due to my severe nausea. 00:54:40.068 --> 00:54:43.071 That's when the growing pains in my chest began to subside. 00:54:43.571 --> 00:54:46.533 So I secretly threw it away just to be sure. 00:54:47.283 --> 00:54:49.536 And now, I'm well enough to conduct undercover inspections. 00:54:49.828 --> 00:54:50.704 There was 00:54:51.496 --> 00:54:52.914 nothing wrong with the medicine. 00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:54.624 So my suspicions are misplaced? 00:54:55.625 --> 00:54:56.501 It does seem like 00:54:56.626 --> 00:54:57.919 there was an attempt 00:54:58.545 --> 00:54:59.921 to poison Your Highness. 00:55:00.547 --> 00:55:02.799 There is nothing wrong with the medicine's ingredients, 00:55:03.299 --> 00:55:05.885 but if they are ingested with those sweets that you eat often, 00:55:06.344 --> 00:55:09.347 they can turn into poison, especially for your constitution. 00:55:09.431 --> 00:55:12.142 That is why I included those sweets 00:55:12.434 --> 00:55:15.228 on the list of foods you must stay away from, 00:55:15.687 --> 00:55:18.398 but it appears that someone removed it from the list. 00:55:20.150 --> 00:55:22.902 But I don't know if it was done by a court lady at the Royal Kitchen 00:55:23.445 --> 00:55:24.821 or one of the female physicians. 00:55:25.113 --> 00:55:27.282 Or, it could be someone else's doing, 00:55:27.782 --> 00:55:29.117 but I have no way of finding out. 00:55:29.576 --> 00:55:30.493 What should we do? 00:55:31.161 --> 00:55:32.328 Who put you up to this? 00:55:33.621 --> 00:55:36.499 No one.
