魅惑之人 CAPTIVATING THE KING
第13集 EPISODE 13
怎么了？ What is the matter?
你在发抖，发生什么事了？ You are trembling. What is wrong?
您不能… You cannot…
进去 go inside.
难道除了我，你还有其他情郎吗？ Do you have another lover waiting inside?
还是… Or…
里头藏有要取我性命的杀手？ is there an assassin hiding to kill me?
您是何时发觉的？ Since when have you caught on?
既然您打从一开始就知情 Why did you come…
为何还要到这里来？ when you knew everything?
我说过只要你找我… Did I not promise…
我 that I shall
随时都会赶来见你啊 come running at your call?
濛雨 Mong-woo.
濛雨！ Mong-woo!
殿下，您没事吧？ Are you all right, Your Majesty?
濛雨 Mong-woo.
小姐 My lady.
小姐！ My lady!
濛雨，不可以 No, Mong-woo.
小姐？ "My lady"?
濛雨 Mong-woo…
不可以 No, please.
你不能失去意识 You have to stay awake.
濛雨 Mong-woo.
殿下，已做好回宫准备 Your Majesty, we are prepared to return to the palace.
请下令 Please give us your order.
濛雨似乎伤得很重 Mong-woo's wound seems grave.
快传御医池楠规与医女 Bring Royal Physician Ji and a female physician.
殿下的安全才是首要之务 Your safety comes first.
姜濛雨被押往义禁府后便会接受治疗 Kang Mong-woo will be treated after being taken to the State Tribunal.
-请先回宫吧 -濛雨优先 -Let us return first. -Mong-woo comes first.
她可是大逆罪人 This woman committed high treason.
濛雨为了要救我，而被… Mong-woo took the knife…
而被剑刺伤 to save my life.
濛雨很显然就是那名挥剑杀手的同伙 It is clear that she is in league with the assassin.
欲刺杀殿下未果 And their assassination attempt simply failed.
-殿下 -我已下令 -Your Majesty. -I have already given my command.
-快传御医 -不过殿下… -Bring the royal physician. -Your Majesty.
快听从王命！ Follow the royal command!
臣遵命 I shall, Your Majesty.
倘若就此失去你 If I lose you like this,
我绝不会 I shall never
原谅自己 forgive myself.
殿下将延后回宫 His Majesty's return to the palace has been delayed.
门禁把关要做得滴水不漏 Not a single soul may enter the premises.
周边内外皆要彻底确认，强化警戒！ So examine the vicinity thoroughly and stay extra vigilant.
-是，行首！-是，行首！ -Yes, Captain! -Yes, Captain!
关在仓房里的罪人要押往义禁府吗？ Shall I transfer the criminal in the storage to the State Tribunal?
还不用 Not yet.
在接获命令前先将他关在里头 Keep him there until there is an order
确实看好他，不能有任何疏失 and do not take your eyes off him.
是，行首 Yes, Captain.
你们俩跟我来 You two will follow me.
-是 -是 -Yes, Captain. -Yes, Captain.
香气真宜人 The scent is pleasant.
董尚宫，你也用茶吧 You may drink too, Senior Court Lady Dong.
小的惶恐 Please forgive my bluntness,
外出的殿下不知何时会回宫 but His Majesty may return to the palace anytime.
请先表明您召见小的是因何缘由 Please address the reason behind your summon.
空出的中宫殿 The empty queen's quarters
不久后将会迎来新主人 will soon welcome a new occupant.
虽然你的牒纸是新中殿所掌管的 The concubine appointment would be within the new queen's purview,
但我会替你出一份力 but I shall put in a good word for you.
-你竟敢如此无礼？-无妨 -How dare you? -It is fine.
你为何笑？ Why do you laugh?
小的想起了往事才会笑出来 I only laugh as I am reminded of a past incident.
往事？ A past incident?
许久前 Long ago,
在殿下尚未登基 before His Majesty ascended to the throne
小的还是您寝殿内人的那个时期 and I was a court maid in your service,
先王殿下曾经突然召见我 you gave me a command
那时您对小的说了一些话 when the late king summoned me out of the blue.
大妃娘娘 Your Royal Highness.
请不要将小的派往大殿 Please do not send me to His Majesty's quarters.
您倒不如 I would rather
在此赐死小的 you took my life this instant.
听说你恋慕着镇翰大君 I hear you harbor affection for Grand Prince Jinhan.
你若真的为镇翰大君着想 If you truly care for him,
就成为主上的女人吧 become the King's woman.
成为守护镇翰大君的剑 Become the sword that protects Grand Prince Jinhan.
小的听了那番话后 Upon hearing those words,
幼小的心灵感到既恐惧又害怕 my tender young soul was shaken and terrified.
一想起那时的事 Whenever I recall that moment,
小的仍会心跳加速，冷汗直流 my heart still races and I break out into a cold sweat.
你为何现在提起这个？ And why are you bringing that up?
当落雷劈向王宫时 When lightning struck the palace,
殿下曾问小的说 His Majesty questioned me thusly.
“你知道毒杀先王殿下的 "You know who poisoned the late king to death,
是何人吧？” do you not?"
您说会替我的后宫牒纸出一份力吧？ You said you would put in a good word for my appointment as a concubine.
小的会拭目以待的，大妃娘娘 I will be looking forward to it, Your Royal Highness.
那个胆大妄为的臭丫头 That insolent wench.
你竟敢在大殿如此莽撞？ Do mind where you are!
殿下回宫了吗？ Has His Majesty returned?
还没有 Not yet.
那个… Come.
他一回宫 When he does,
我会立刻通知你 I shall send you word immediately.
你在住所里等着 So please wait in your quarters.
别军职行首也还没回来吗？ How about Captain Joo?
殿下都尚未回宫 How would he have returned
行首怎么可能回来？ without His Majesty?
这是怎么回事？ What is going on?
难道殿下 Did something happen
发生了什么不测吗？ to His Majesty?
在这稍等 Wait here.
随我来 Follow me.
今天在此处 An attempt was made here
曾有杀手欲刺杀殿下 to assassinate His Majesty tonight.
难道 Is His Majesty
因伤失去意识的 the man who lost his consciousness
是主上殿下吗？ from a wound?
被杀手之剑所伤之人 The one who was wounded
是个女人 is a woman.
是棋待令姜濛雨 Gidaeryeong Kang Mong-woo.
她似乎与杀手有所关联 She seems to be associated with the assassin.
你在为棋待令治疗时，若有任何发现 Should you learn anything about her during your treatment,
必须一五一十地向我回报 report every little detail back to me.
明白吗？ Do you understand?
下官明白 Yes, Captain.
她的状况如何？ How is she?
幸好没刺中要害 Thankfully, it is not a fatal wound,
但她的伤口很深 but it is deep.
她正发着烧，且血流不止 She is running a fever, the bleeding has not stopped yet,
身子变得相当虚弱 and her body seems too weak.
替她诊脉 Take her pulse.
她的脉象十分微弱且快速 Her pulse is very faint and beating fast.
她的情况很危急吗？ Is she in a critical condition?
她在身子虚弱时受了伤，似乎让她元气大伤 Suffering a wound in her weakened state seems to have affected her deeply.
得先替她进行止血 We shall stop the bleeding first.
臣等必须用盐水清洗伤口再上药 As we must wash the wound with salt water and apply ointment,
要劳请殿下暂先移驾了 I must dare ask that you give us some privacy.
-她怎么样了？-血止住了 -How is she? -We have stopped the bleeding.
但她发烧迟迟不退，让臣有些担心 However, I am concerned about her fever.
今夜会是关键 We shall have to see if she can last the night.
殿下 Your Majesty.
臣有事需听候殿下发落 I await your punishment for my crimes.
你是指上次忌辰祭时 Are you referring to…
你谎称已替棋待令治疗伤口一事吗？ your false report regarding her treatment on the night of the gisinje?
是比那件事还要重大的罪 I have committed a greater crime.
那是什么？ What is it?
那时臣之所以谎称已替她治疗 I only reported to you falsely back then
是因为许久前，某位曾帮了我大忙的恩人 as an old acquaintance who did me a great favor long ago
他特地嘱咐我关照棋待令 made a special request that I look after the gidaeryeong.
当时臣一心只想偿还他的恩情 I only sought to repay his kindness back then.
全然没料到他与棋待令居然是同伙 I never suspected that he was in league with the gidaeryeong,
更不晓得他会成为大司宪重返朝廷 much less foresaw his return to the court as the Inspector General.
金济南… What did Kim Je-nam…
金济南说他与棋待令是何关系？ say about his relationship with the gidaeryeong?
他说棋待令是他形同手足之友的骨肉 He said she was the family of a friend he considers as his brother.
你现在向殿下禀奏的事，与坦承谋反无异 Your confession now equates to a confession of treason.
你能发誓这番话没有一丝虚假吗？ Can you swear that there is no deceit in your words?
此事只要跟大司宪确认，便会立刻被识破 As you can question the Inspector General for the truth,
臣岂敢说谎造假？ there is no reason for me to falsely confess.
殿下，若御医所言属实 Your Majesty, if his words are true,
此事绝不能置之不理 you cannot let this slide.
宣召金济南 Summon Kim Je-nam.
是，殿下 Yes, Your Majesty.
请随我进来 Please follow me inside.
御医池楠规 Royal Physician Ji Nam-kyu
向殿下启禀的全为事实 only reported the truth, Your Majesty.
若您提问 Please ask me any questions you may have,
臣便会回答 and I shall answer them.
你知道棋待令 Were you aware of…
对我抱着何种想法吗？ the gidaeryeong's designs for me?
臣当然知情 Of course, Your Majesty.
三年前她拖着奄奄一息的身子来找我 Three years ago, she came to me in a wretched state.
她才刚康复到得以起身 As soon as she recovered,
就向臣表明叛变之意 she confessed that she had a plan for treason
并寻求我的协助 and requested my assistance.
你的想法 Do your views
也与棋待令相同吗？ align with the gidaeryeong's?
殿下 Your Majesty.
羞愧的是 It shames me to admit this,
臣并不若棋待令那般正义 but I do not have a spirit of justice like her.
在接到殿下召唤前 Before I received your summon to the court,
臣认为此生只要隐居草野，死后归于尘土就够了 I used to believe that I would be content living all my days in the countryside.
虽然棋待令的想法让臣钦佩 While I found her spirit admirable,
但此事显然毫无胜算 I was sure of her failure
因此臣只盼她能平安无事 and only hoped for her safety.
殿下 Your Majesty.
大司宪的话中隐藏着狡诈的谎言 Do not let him trick you with his wicked words.
为何你接下了大司宪一职 Why did you not report the gidaeryeong
却仍未向殿下道出棋待令的本意？ even after being appointed as the Inspector General?
难道不是与棋待令谋划要叛变吗？ Was it not to plot treason with her?
殿下会怀疑臣是理所当然的 It is only natural for you to have suspicion against me.
臣同样也对您抱有疑虑 I, too, had a few against you, Your Majesty.
臣心想，像我这种不好使的剑 I questioned your decision
殿下召唤我是要用在何处 to summon an unruly sword like me.
殿下是否只是在安抚民心 I assumed you were trying to mimic acts of virtuous kings
仿效圣君之举呢 to allay the concerns of the people.
然而臣的疑虑在见到殿下后 However, upon meeting you,
便如春雪融化般消失殆尽 my suspicion melted away like spring snow
取而代之的是 and was instead replaced by hope
自身能为这个国家和百姓，贡献一己之力的期待 that I could contribute to this nation and its people.
因此臣去找棋待令向她表达我的想法 As such, I went to the gidaeryeong and conveyed my change of heart.
自此之后，臣便没有私下与她见面 Ever since then, I have never had private meetings with her
或互通消息了 nor have we exchanged words.
殿下 Your Majesty.
大司宪所言只是些拙劣的辩解 His words are nothing but crude excuses.
能防患未然的叛变，他却袖手旁观，未先告知 He sat back and watched the treason unfold when he could have prevented it.
理应以大逆罪来惩治他 It is only right to punish him for high treason.
臣无意回避应承受的罪罚 I do not intend to avoid any punishment.
臣来到此处时便已做好丧命的觉悟 I prepared myself for death when I was summoned here.
只是 However,
若棋待令逃过死劫，恢复意识 should the gidaeryeong survive and come to,
恳请您 please be generous
深入了解她的想法 and hearken to her reasoning.
她为何会撑着柔弱之躯来到殿下面前 Please contemplate what would have driven her
请您 to come before you
理解一下她的心情 even in her weakened state.
为了这个国家和百姓 I earnestly plead with you
臣以泪恳求您 for the sake of this nation and its people.
我相信你 I believe you.
我 I also
也想听听，棋待令的真实想法，要是她… wish to hear her out…
要是她能安然无恙地醒过来 so long as she wakes up.
臣感激不尽 Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty.
这家的屋主 The master of this house
在九泉之下肯定会很高兴 would also rejoice in the Underworld
他唯一的骨肉能免去大逆罪人之名，并逃过死劫 to have his only kin spared from being executed as a traitor.
你方才说了什么？ What did you just say?
唯一的骨肉？ His only kin?
你是说濛雨 Are you saying…
是师傅的骨肉？ Mong-woo is my Master Kang's kin?
大人 Master Choam.
不准向前 Stand back.
小姐现在怎么样了？ What about Lady Hee-soo?
既然你在这里 Seeing as you are here,
应该就表示她平安无事吧？ she must be alive, must she not?
她目前失去意识，还没苏醒过来 She has not regained her consciousness yet.
还是下次再审问他吧 We should interrogate him some other time.
既然你三年前救活过她 You managed to save her life three years ago.
这次你应该也有办法救她的命吧 You must have a way to save her this time as well.
难道不是吗？ Is that not so?
殿下 Your Majesty.
请回宫吧 You should return to the palace.
臣会留在棋待令身边 I will stay by the gidaeryeong.
我要回宫，带路吧 I shall return. Lead the way.
是，殿下 Yes, Your Majesty.
小姐和秋大人今天很晚归耶 Lady Hee-soo and Master Chu are running late tonight.
人定马上就要响了 The ingyeong will ring soon.
人定：每夜告知通行禁止敲的钟 INGYEONG: THE CURFEW BELL
小姐没跟你说她要去哪吗？ Did she tell you she would be heading elsewhere?
你知道她去哪做什么？ How is it any of your concern?
秋大人没跟你交代什么吗？ Did Master Chu mention anything to you?
什么？ What?
他好像交代了些什么 He did mention something.
对了 Right.
没什么，你不用知道 It was nothing. You need not know.
你是想看我发疯吗？ Are you trying to drive me out of my mind?
事情是这样的 Look.
我不知道他为何会提出这请求 I do not know what came over him to make such a request,
他突然托我在洪蔷忌日代他布施 but he asked me to make an offering in his stead on Hongjang's memorial day.
他明明自己去就好，怎么突然拜托你？ But he can do that himself, can he not?
屋主在里面吗？ Is anyone inside?
外头是不是有人来了？ You seem to have a visitor.
怎么回事？ That is odd.
这么晚了应该没有人会来啊 I am not expecting anyone at this hour.
怎么回事？ What is going on?
外面怎么一片死寂？ Who could it be for it to be dead silent outside?
小丫头是谁？ Who is Jageunnyeon?
小的就是小丫头 That would be me.
大司宪找你 The Inspector General summons you.
跟我们走 Come with us.
大司宪不就是草庵大人吗？ Wait, is that not Master Choam?
小的才是小丫头 I am Jageunnyeon.
草庵大人为何要在大半夜找小的？ Why is Master Choam looking for me at this hour?
你去了就知道 You will know once you reach him.
气氛怎么这么凝重？ I wonder why they are so serious.
小姐府上好像出了什么事 Something must have happened here in Lady Hee-soo's house.
大人 Master Choam.
你们来啦 You are here.
小姐出了什么事对吧？ Something happened to Lady Hee-soo, did it not?
她 I noticed
身体变得十分虚弱 that she had become very frail.
这是怎么回事？ What happened?
她近来心里承受了很大的煎熬 She has suffered deeply from her troubled heart.
她不但没按时用膳，夜里也不得安眠 She would skip meals and have trouble sleeping.
她应该也没打算走到这一步 I do not think she intended to go this far.
她一定是用尽了全力 She must have used all her might
才来到这里 to get here.
殿下 Your Majesty.
都承旨到了 The Chief Royal Secretary is here.
你退下吧 You may leave.
今天日程是怎么安排的？ Remind me of my agenda for today.
您要出席常参、轮对 You have a morning assembly,
与夕讲 a rotational council, and an evening study.
还得审阅各官署提交的报告 You must also review the reports submitted by the offices.
推迟常参 Postpone the morning assembly.
只出席轮对就好 I shall join the rotational council.
报告审阅也暂先推迟 I will also go over the reports at a later date.
不过 Additionally,
夕讲之后会进行夜对 I shall have a nighttime study after the evening study.
去做好准备 So do prepare it.
是，殿下 Yes, Your Majesty.
我想见世子 I would like to see the Crown Prince.
他正在进行书筵吗？ Is he in his lecture?
他应该在大妃殿向娘娘请安 He is at the Queen Dowager's quarters to greet Her Royal Highness.
主上殿下驾到 Here comes His Majesty!
父王 Father.
你为何不进去，反倒站在此处呢？ Why are you standing out here?
孩儿正在等候大妃娘娘召见 I am waiting for permission to enter from Her Royal Highness.
你已等了多久？ How long have you been waiting?
她每次都让你这样等候吗？ Does she keep you waiting every time?
主上殿下，小的惶恐 I apologize for my tardiness, Your Majesty.
快请进 Please come inside.
世子会随我一同进入 The Crown Prince will accompany me.
你打算让中宫殿空悬多久？ Until when are you going to leave the Queen's quarters vacant?
你应该吩咐朝廷颁布拣择令吧？ Should you not order the court to issue a decree for a selection?
目前还在服丧 We are still in mourning.
只要世子还身着丧服 I will not have such a decree issued
我就不打算颁布拣择令 while the Crown Prince remains in mourning.
居然要让中宫殿空悬那么久 To think the nation would not have a queen for so long.
至今没有过这种惯例 This is unprecedented.
现在将会有这种惯例 We shall have a new precedent then.
世子每次前来问安 It seems that you keep the Crown Prince waiting for a while
你似乎都让他等候许久 whenever he visits to greet you.
究竟是因何缘由？ For what reason are you doing that?
因为我一见到身着丧服的世子，便感到痛苦万分 I only did so as it was agonizing to see him in his mourning dress.
我又不是婉拒世子的问安 It is not like I am refusing to receive him.
到底是哪里有问题？ What harm is there in a little wait?
孩儿没想到母后竟是如此痛苦 I have failed to consider the agony you are going through, Mother.
在你心里感到舒坦一点前 For the time being until your sorrow subsides,
暂时会由东宫内官代世子前来问安 I shall have a palace eunuch greet you on the Crown Prince's behalf.
孩儿还有政务要忙，就先失陪了 I shall excuse myself first to attend to matters of state.
世子也该起身了 You should rise as well.
不得让书筵官等候 We should not keep your lecturers waiting.
你希望我收回成命？ You wish for me to retract my command?
你无所谓吗？ Are you sure you can bear it?
孩儿知道父王是为我着想才下此命令 I am aware that you have given the command for my sake.
但是 However,
向大妃娘娘问安是为人子嗣的本分 greeting Her Royal Highness is my duty as her grandchild.
若连本分都不愿意尽 If I refuse to do as much,
孩儿往后还能承担什么呢？ I will not be able to handle anything in the future.
世子 Crown Prince.
你真是个孝子 You are a dutiful child indeed.
有什么需要尽管说 Do tell me if you need anything.
看来你有所求 You must have something in mind.
是什么？ What is it?
孩儿想见棋待令 I miss Gidaeryeong Kang, Your Majesty.
孩儿不是想下围棋 It is not because I want to play baduk.
在为母后服丧期间 How could I indulge myself in pleasure
孩儿岂敢妄想要下棋取乐？ when I am still in mourning for my late mother?
只是因为 It is just that
棋待令乃孩儿师傅 he is my master
孩儿已许久不见他 and I have not seen him in a while.
孩儿 Am I not
不能见他吗？ allowed to see him?
孩儿惶恐 I apologize.
孩儿不该提出这种请求的 I should not have made such a request.
为何殿下迟迟不颁布拣择令？ For what reason is His Majesty not issuing a decree for the selection of the queen?
东宫既已选定 With his heir secured,
也没必要急于一时 he does not feel the need to rush the matter.
大监，就算殿下不甚着急 My lord, even if that is how His Majesty views the matter,
但我们总不能继续这样坐视不管吧？ we cannot sit idly and watch.
为了要进行 We must appoint a new queen soon,
宗庙的祭祀 even if only to conduct
中宫不能空悬太久 the memorial services of the Royal Ancestral Shrine.
对啊 That is right.
下官就是这个意思 That is what I was trying to say.
况且，必须先有新中殿 Additionally, we must have a new queen
世子嫔的人选也才能底定 to select a crown princess.
听说在世子褪下丧服前 I hear His Royal Highness vowed not to wed
都不会举行婚礼 until he is done mourning.
你说是不是？府院君 Is that not right, Great Lord?
世子 His Royal Highness
真是个孝子 is such a dutiful son.
我劝了他好几次 I have broached the matter to him many times,
他都坚持要这么做 but he stayed resolute.
有什么事？ What brings you here?
下官来传达殿下旨意 I am here to convey a royal order.
殿下今日推迟常参 His Majesty wishes to postpone the morning assembly set for today
只出席轮对 and only attend the rotational council.
知道了 I understand.
那我们走吧 Let us leave now.
在桃树被烧尽之处，新种下的三桠乌药 The new blunt-lobed spicebush on the former peach tree's plot
十分宜人 looks very pleasant.
左相也看到了吗？ Have you noticed it too, Left State Councilor?
虽然桃花也很赏心悦目 Peach blossoms are quite fine,
但仍比不上三桠乌药花 but they are not as grand as the flowers of blunt-lobed spicebush.
我相当期待明年春天的到来 I am looking forward to next spring.
两位过奖了 I am flattered by your praise.
走吧 Let us go.
自中殿娘娘仙逝 When Her Majesty passed away,
我感到人生苦涩，已无动力再活下去 I was too bitter and lost my will to continue on.
但世事就是如此难料 But life has its twists and turns.
谁想得到 Who would have thought
我竟能成为世子殿下的外祖父，让他孝敬我呢？ I would gain such a dutiful grandson as His Royal Highness?
府院君说得对 You are right, Great Lord.
世事确实难料 Life indeed has its twists and turns.
他似乎认为我们还追随着他 He must still believe we are his subordinates.
门都没有 How foolish.
现下朝廷的人都偏向我们世子殿下 Everyone in the court is favoring His Royal Highness.
你说是不是？兵判 Do you not agree, Minister Min?
你说的是没错，但一切都尚未尘埃落定 You are not wrong, but nothing is for certain.
这次又有什么问题？ What is the problem this time?
领府事乃大妃与殿下的血亲 As His Majesty and the Queen Dowager's kin,
所以依旧握有权势 he still remains in power.
但我们呢？ But what about us?
你只是个空有其名，而无影响力的外祖父 You are the Crown Prince's grandfather only in name with no influence.
我则是 and I am…
盼着一桩遥遥无期的婚事 holding my breath for a marriage that may never happen.
兄长 Brother.
婚事并非下官的意思，而是世子殿下的旨意 That was not my decision, but His Royal Highness's.
你变了 You have changed.
你成了王室外戚后，言行都有所改变 Becoming the Crown Prince's kin has changed your attitude.
并没有改变 Nothing has changed.
请不要这么想 Please do not think so.
我得见棋待令一面 I must meet the gidaeryeong.
棋待令并非我的人 Why would you seek my approval
你为何要征求我的同意？ when he is not my subordinate?
你不晓得吗？ Have you not heard?
殿下下令在为中殿娘娘服丧哀悼期间 While His Majesty was in mourning for the late queen,
棋待令不得进宫 the gidaeryeong did not enter the palace.
他昨日进宫待了一会，今日则完全没来 He only did so yesterday briefly and has not come in today.
我问过使令 I asked a runner
使令说他没知会半声就直接没来 and learned that he did not come without sending any word.
殿下也没召见他 His Majesty did not summon him either.
我近来都忙着留意东宫殿情况 I have been so busy tending to His Royal Highness
很少与棋待令联系 that I have been out of touch with him.
我以为你与棋待令 I assumed that you and the gidaeryeong
为了世子殿下有志一同，同心协力 were working together for His Royal Highness.
是我误解了吗？ Was I perhaps mistaken?
你现在明白 Do you now see
自己改变多少了吧？ how much you have changed?
别放在心上 Do not mind him.
他只是因为婚事才莫名迁怒 He is only being brusque out of annoyance regarding the marriage matters.
已逐渐有人围聚在世子 Officials are already flocking to the Crown Prince
与同副承旨周边 and Sixth Royal Secretary Kim Myung-ha.
我早就料到了 I knew this would happen.
朝廷里本就聚集着一群 The court is composed of people
能神准看出权势走向的人啊 who have a knack for detecting who holds sway in the world.
我会寻求朝廷支持奏请殿下 I shall seek the official's support and petition His Majesty
颁布拣择令 to issue a decree for the selection of the queen.
闵智奂站在东宫那边 Min Ji-hwan has sided with the Crown Prince.
你还是属意柳玄宝的家族吗？ Do you still have Yoo Hyun-bo's family in mind?
前刑曹判书金乃禅之女，您觉得如何？ How about the former Minister of Justice Kim Nae-seon's daughter?
金乃禅之女 Is his daughter
不就是你的岳家侄女吗？ not your wife's niece?
金乃禅不但坐拥势力 He has people following him
也与我们家族交好 and is close to our family.
他女儿作为殿下继妃，可是再适合不过了 His daughter would be perfect as His Majesty's spouse.
你早该这么安排的 You should have thought of that earlier.
那你打算如何处置世子与金慏夏？ What about the Crown Prince and Kim Myung-ha?
臣会慢慢处理，请不必挂心 I will take care of them all in due time, so please do not worry.
我正要上呈汤药 I was about to deliver the herbal medicine.
殿下找我吗？ Is His Majesty looking for me?
殿下目前还在便殿 He is still at the hall of governance.
那你怎么会来？ Then what brings you here?
昨夜 Last night,
我见到你与别军职行首往宫外走 I saw you leave the palace with Captain Joo.
是前往哪里？ Where did you go?
殿下当时似乎出宫了 His Majesty was out of the palace.
是他召见你吗？ Did he summon you?
我不便告诉你 I cannot say.
那是谁？ Who is that?
不是董尚宫吗？ Is that not Senior Court Lady Dong?
从实招来 Speak the truth.
昨夜殿下身在何处？ Where was His Majesty last night?
只要你告诉我 If you tell me,
我就给你莫大的赏赐 I will reward you handsomely.
小的惶恐 I apologize,
小的什么都不能说 but I cannot tell you anything.
我要降罪于你、鞭打你 I can easily have you framed for a crime, flogged,
并将你逐出宫外简直易如反掌 and expelled out of this palace.
你想落得那个下场吗？ Do you wish for such a fate?
你们在那里做什么？ What are you doing there?
我问你们 Did you not hear me?
在这里做什么？ What are you doing back here?
我身体不适 I have been feeling unwell,
正私下拜托医女帮忙 so I was just asking her for treatment.
真是如此？ Is that true?
是的 Yes, my lady.
娘娘的 Senior Court Lady Dong…
肩膀不太舒服 complained of pain in her shoulders,
所以我正要替她察看 so I was about to tend to her.
这给你 I will give it to you.
殿下跟谁在一起？ Who was His Majesty with?
你绝对不能告诉任何人哦 You must keep this to yourself.
小的不晓得是哪户人家 I do not know whose residence it was,
但殿下与棋待令在一起 but he was with Gidaeryeong Kang.
不过… But the gidaeryeong…
棋待令是女儿身 turned out to be a woman.
女… What?
女儿身？ The gidaeryeong…
棋待令吗？ is a woman?
原本我还纳闷殿下 I wondered why His Majesty
为何会如此喜爱一个卑贱的棋士 was so smitten with a lowly baduk player.
这么近一看，我总算明白了 I can see why after seeing you up close.
你是男子 You are a man,
却有些微妙 yet peculiar.
我想成为殿下的女人 I would like to become your woman.
请容许小的与您共度一晚 Please allow me to spend a night with you.
我… I…
不会拥你入怀 will not bed you…
也不会将你从至密中除名 nor dismiss you from my quarters.
我实在做不到 I cannot bring myself to do this.
殿下 Your Majesty!
下官实在不明白 I do not understand the reason
为何娘娘对殿下的心意深信不疑 why you are explaining His Majesty's heart to me
却还要向我解释这么多 when you are so sure of his affection.
里头有人在吗？ Is anyone inside?
你尾随我吗？ Have you been on my tail?
不要误会 Do not take this the wrong way.
我也是来找棋待令的 I am here to meet the gidaeryeong as well.
没有人在吗？ Is there no one inside?
让开 Do not stand in my way.
你不要这样 Do not act this way.
我想跟你增进交情 I want to be on good terms with you.
往事就一笔勾销 Let us consider the past water under the bridge
往后好好相处 and become good friends.
我们没理由敌对啊？ There is no reason for us to be enemies.
你竟敢说出这种令人作呕的话？ You have the audacity to utter such disgusting words?
怎么？ What is it?
看来领府事大监改变心意了 Has the Principal Director had a change of heart?
他不把入主中宫殿的机会给你了？ Did he go back on his promise about the new queen?
小姐 Lady Hee-soo.
你到底去了哪里？ Where have you gone?
小姐是不是醒了？ I think she is waking up.
唉唷 My goodness.
草庵大人！ Master Choam!
殿下！ Your Majesty!
殿下 Your Majesty.
您在等候的消息捎来了 The news you have been awaiting has arrived.
醒过来了吗？ Has he awakened?
回答我 Answer me.
是，殿下 Yes, Your Majesty.
醒过来了 He has awakened.
您怎么了？ What is the matter?
既然已清醒过来，那就够了 It is enough to hear he has awakened.
金内官 Eunuch Kim.
是，殿下，请下令 Yes, Your Majesty. Please speak.
既然我已下令安排夜对 I have ordered a nighttime study,
就宣召承旨吧 so bring me the Royal Secretary.
是，殿下 Yes, Your Majesty.
大人 Master Choam.
为何宫中没捎来任何消息呢？ Why have we not heard from the palace yet?
殿下的一天既漫长又紧凑 His Majesty's day is long and filled with countless duties.
他应该很快就会联系我们 He will send word soon.
秋大人会如何？ What will happen to Master Chu?
领府事 Principal Director.
你有何贵干？ What brings you here?
因殿下不断推迟常参 As you keep postponing the morning assembly,
臣要向您转达朝廷之意 I have come to convey the court's wishes
并取得您的允准 and to seek your approval.
所有急事都承旨皆已向我回禀 The Chief Royal Secretary is apprising me of all urgent matters.
到底是什么重要的事 What is this important matter
竟让你亲自前来？ that you must report to me yourself?
此为同副承旨候补人选名单 This is the list of potential Sixth Royal Secretaries.
请撤换金慏夏的职务 Please replace Kim Myung-ha.
因何缘由？ What is the reason?
金慏夏是世子殿下唯一的外戚 He is His Royal Highness's only kin remaining.
他目前担任传达王命的承旨一职 His holding a position responsible for relaying royal commands
并不适宜 is not appropriate.
实不相瞒 To speak the truth,
现在已有人在向金慏夏攀关系 some people are already lining up to be on his good side.
在他波及东宫前 It would only be proper to dismiss him
理应辞退他才是 before he causes any concern for His Royal Highness.
我会再评估 I shall consider it.
大司宪金济南近几日皆未登厅 Inspector General Kim Je-nam has not come to the palace for days.
棋待令亦有多日未进宫 The same goes for Gidaeryeong Kang.
理应追究他们的过失并且问责 I advise you to inspect them for disciplinary actions.
你连一点小过失 You do not let even a small blunder
都要追究到底啊 slip through the cracks, do you?
侍奉殿下 For officials
服务百姓的官吏 who have the duty to serve you and the people,
即便犯下一点小过失都是重罪 even a small blunder is a grave crime.
若是就此不管，将会败坏朝廷纲纪 If you let this slide, the discipline of the court will grow lax.
你说得对 Your words are correct.
罪行就是罪行 Crimes are crimes.
不能视为过失 We cannot minimize them as blunders.
我会牢记在心 I will keep that in mind.
草庵大人得知肯定会叨念一番 Master Choam will give you an earful if he finds out.
我觉得有点烦闷 I feel too stuffy.
我们只是趁大人察觉前出去透个气 I will take a short walk and come back
随即回来应该无妨 before he notices.
小姐 My lady.
夜风有点冷 The night air is chilly.
你留在这 Wait here.
我立刻回去拿长袍过来 I will quickly go get your robe.
你真快就回来了 You sure have returned quickly.
殿下 Your Majesty.
是谁在那里？ And who might you be?
这边我会守着，你走吧 I will guard this area, so leave.
胡说八道 Bollocks.
大人才该离开 I suggest you leave.
我会守护我家小姐 I will protect Lady Hee-soo.
我还以为您不会过来 I thought you would never come.
我一听到你醒来的消息，就想立刻赶过来 I wanted to come running as soon as I heard you were awake,
却没有信心面对你 but I could not bear myself to face you.
我对您犯下了大逆罪 The sight of a traitor like me
您见到我应该会很痛苦吧 would understandably distress you.
不是因为你的罪，而是出于我犯下的罪 It was because of my crime, not yours.
那个罪行始于三年前 The crime that began three years ago
至今仍未结束 and still continues to this day.
您的罪？ Your crime?
此话何意？ What do you mean by that?
你所做的事 All your actions…
全都是我冀望的 were all that I wished for.
若我不乐见 If I had not wished for them,
便不会赐你棋待令一职，让你进到映翠亭 I would not have made you the gidaeryeong, given you access to Yeongchwijeong,
亦不会让你留在文城大君身边 or kept you at the Grand Prince's side.
爆发掌令公主风波时 I would have punished and expelled you
也会惩罚你，将你逐出宫 when Princess Jangryeong was substituted.
中殿与府院君接受你的建言 I would have punished you harshly for high treason
在便殿上 when your advice
奏请册封大君为世子时 prompted the Queen to urge the Great Lord to petition
我便会以大逆罪严惩你 for the Grand Prince's appointment as the Crown Prince during assembly.
不过殿下 But Your Majesty,
您在我初次进到映翠亭时 you threatened to have me killed
曾警告过我若寻找您之外的后盾，将会了结我的生命 if I sought any patron other than you when I first entered Yeongchwijeong.
那是因为 I only did so…
我希望你心生恐惧，谨慎行事 to scare you enough to make you act with caution.
但看到你回绝了大妃的拢络 But seeing you refuse the Queen Dowager's offer
我便改变了心意 changed my mind.
我让你成为大君的师傅 I appointed you the Grand Prince's master
借此避开大妃与领府事的怀疑 to avoid the Queen Dowager and the Principal Director's keen eyes
进而达成我想做的事 and finally carry out
我是这么盘算的 what I intended to do.
关于册封文城大君为世子一事 Appointing Grand Prince Munseong as the Crown Prince.
是我利用了你 I took advantage of you.
我以你为盾 I used you as my shield
来掩盖我的作为 to veil my doings.
即便您说的句句属实 Even if your words are true,
我对您所犯下的罪 the crimes I committed against you
仍不会消失 do not go away.
三年前我对你的所作所为 I assume you could not bring yourself to forgive me
终究还是无法得到你的原谅吧 for what I did to you three years ago.
并不是因为那个原因 That was not the reason.
领府事朴慒奂未经您允准 In the evening Principal Director Park Jong-hwan
便擅自闯入映翠亭时 intruded into Yeongchwijeong without your permission,
我当时也在场 I was there.
我躲在映翠亭后院 I hid myself
听见了您对领府事所说的话 and heard what you said to him.
册封世子 The appointment of the Crown Prince
不过是为了平复因异变而混乱的政局，所使出的一个计策罢了 is merely a trick to overcome the chaos caused by the strange event.
当民心稳定下来，我可以再找机会废黜他世子之位 When the people's minds are put at ease, I can expel and banish him from the palace
将他逐出宫外 and then eliminate him.
你才不该愚昧不堪，赶紧清醒过来吧 You are the one who should stop being foolish and come to your senses.
我是这个国家的君王 I am the king of this nation.
所有与我做对之人全都得死 Anyone who opposes me shall face death
即便是 and that includes
血浓于水的血亲也不得幸免 my kin who shares my blood.
所以… And thus…
你才决意要杀了我啊 you decided to kill me
因为我让你感到惧怕和憎恶 because you became afraid and sick of me.
倘若真是如此… Had that been the case…
倘若我对您感到憎恶 Had I become sick of you,
我反而会放弃刺杀您 I would have discarded the plan to harm you
并做出冷静的判断，为大君大人静候时机到来 and made a rational decision to wait for the Grand Prince's chance.
纵使我爱慕的人 The man whom I love
就如同我所知的那般 revealed his true nature before me
在我眼前展露出惨无人道的暴君面貌 as a treacherous and depraved king just as I have long known.
我对您的情意依旧丝毫未减 And yet, my love for you did not diminish.
不仅没有减少 Instead of diminishing,
还滋长到令我痛苦万分的程度 it only grew so painfully strong
让我产生了动摇 that it swayed me.
所以我才下定决心要刺杀您 That is why I decided to assassinate you.
在我陷入更深的迷惑之前 It was to prevent myself from becoming more captivated by you
要守护好已坐上世子之位的大君大人 and to protect the Grand Prince who was appointed the Crown Prince.
你听到我的心跳声了吗？ Do you hear my heart beating?
你听到因开心和愉悦而狂跳的 Do you hear the mad, racing heartbeat
这个声音了吗？ overcome with joy?
我绝不会再失去你 I will not lose you ever again.
我会守护你 I will protect you.
我有话要跟你们两个说 I have news to share with you.
您请说，殿下 Please speak, Your Majesty.
我的师傅 My master,
姜伉洵大监并没有过世 Lord Kang Hang-soon, has not passed away.
他还活着 He is alive.
姜伉洵 Where is he,
现在人在何处？ Your Majesty?
他在清国北京，留意着清国与明国间的形势 He is staying in Beijing to observe the tension between Qing and Ming.
殿下 Your Majesty.
那表示姜伉洵是您的细作吗？ Are you saying that Kang Hang-soon is your spy?
是的 That is right.
他原先被关在沈阳北馆，之后移往北京时便被释放 He was imprisoned in Shenyang and released while being transferred to Beijing.
他决意不返国 But instead of returning,
反倒隐姓埋名留在清国 he decided to hide his identity and stay in the Qing.
殿下多次派人前去劝说他回来 His Majesty sent his men several times asking Lord Kang to return,
他都回绝了 but he refused.
殿下 Your Majesty.
莫非先前 When you mentioned
您提过公主到了清国，会有人关照也是… that there was a caretaker in the Qing to look after Her Highness…
没错 Yes.
我指的就是师傅 I was referring to Master Kang.
这段时间以来，我受师傅之托四处寻找你的下落 I tried to find you at all costs upon his request.
却一无所获 But I could not.
多谢你捎来的消息 Thank you for the letter.
务必转告对方，我必将失物寻回 As I shall find what is lost at all costs,
让对方无须担忧 make sure you tell them not to worry.
寻找失物一事进展如何？ Has there been any progress on finding what was lost?
我们已搜遍整个都城 We have combed through the capital,
都没找到任何知晓或持有该物之人 but we have not found anyone who knows of or holds the item.
无论用什么方法都必须找到 You must find it at all costs.
明白吗？ Do you understand?
我没想到要找的人居然就近在眼前 I had my men travel all across the land
还四处游走徘徊 when you were here all along.
就算是现在 I am truly relieved
才得知我爹的消息，也让我很庆幸 to have finally heard the news about my father.
殿下 Your Majesty.
现在还是让棋待令去歇息吧 You should let Gidaeryeong Kang rest now.
她身子尚未康复 She has not fully recovered yet,
一不小心可能会恶化 and her condition could take a bad turn.
听到了吗？棋待令 You heard him.
你就退下去歇息吧 You may leave and rest.
是，殿下 Yes, Your Majesty.
小姐 My lady.
小丫头 Jageunnyeon.
我爹… My father…
还活着 is alive.
真的吗？ Is that true?
殿下 Your Majesty.
您要怎么处置秋达河？ What will you do with Chu Dal-ha?
殿下 Your Majesty.
臣晓得您因顾虑棋待令而苦恼 I know you are conflicted because of the gidaeryeong.
但秋达河可是持着剑指向您啊 But Chu Dal-ha dared to point his knife at you!
得将他交给义禁府，进行推鞫才是 We must transfer him to the State Tribunal for interrogation.
替他松绑 Untie the rope.
是 Yes, Your Majesty.
尚和，你先退下 You may leave, Sang-hwa.
殿下，万万不可 I cannot, Your Majesty.
他曾试图要伤害您啊 He attempted to harm you.
抬起头来 Raise your head.
你有话要说吗？ Is there anything you want to say?
小姐与此事无关 Lady Hee-soo has nothing to do with this incident.
全都是我策划执行的 I plotted and carried this out all on my own,
杀了我吧 so take my life.
虽然我无法惩罚 Though I am resentful
被王位蒙蔽双眼 that I could not punish the wicked criminal
而不惜成为清国细作的奸恶罪人 who served as a spy for the Qing
便要赴死，徒留满腹的怨愤 to ascend to the throne before my death,
但我毫不后悔 I have no regrets.
你当真认为 You truly believe…
是我向清国密告举发你的啊 that I informed against you to the Qing.
不然 Are you saying
难道不是您吗？ you did not do it?
你肯定不相信 It would be difficult to believe me.
你不信也无妨 It does not matter even if you do not.
你是个正义之士 You are a righteous man.
因此 As such,
我给你两条路走 I will give you two options to choose from.
一条是 You may hide your crimes
隐藏你的罪行，寻求生路 and find a way to live on.
另一条是 Or…
坦承你的罪行 you will confess your crimes
以纾解你的怨愤 and lay down your life
取代赴死 to have your resentment resolved.
无论你做出何种选择，我都会遵从你的意见 Whatever you choose, I will follow it.
你打算怎么做？ What will you do?
休息一下吧 Get some rest.
小姐！ My lady!
吓我一跳 Good grief.
你会吓到小姐的 Lady Hee-soo needs peace and quiet.
小姐，秋大人被别军职押走了 My lady, Master Chu is being taken away by the men of the Special Firearms Unit.
什么？ What?
大人 Master Choam.
这是怎么回事？ What is going on?
殿下下令要将他押往义禁府 His Majesty ordered him to be transferred to the State Tribunal.
殿下现在在哪里？ Where is His Majesty?
他下令后便回宫了 He returned to the palace after giving the command.
唉唷 My goodness.
殿下 Your Majesty.
都承旨到了 The Chief Royal Secretary is here.
殿下，您找臣吗？ Have you summoned me, Your Majesty?
牌招备局堂上们 Summon the members of the Border Defense Council.
我要 I will interrogate
亲自审问逆贼 the traitor myself.
是，殿下 Yes, Your Majesty.
臣遵命 I shall follow your command.
大人，到底发生了什么事？ What is going on, my lord?
刺杀殿下未果之徒 A man who attempted to assassinate His Majesty
已被押往义禁府 has been transferred to the State Tribunal.
因得发送命牌，立刻去召集胥吏和使令 We must send out the royal summons, so summon all the clerks and runners.
是，大人 Yes, my lord.
大人 My lord.
那个罪人叫什么名字？ What is the name of the criminal?
秋达河 Chu Dal-ha.
三年前前往明国被清国逮到的细作 A spy dispatched to the Ming and caught by the Qing three years ago.
命 SUMMONS
大监 My lord.
你听到消息了吗？ Have you heard the news?
我正要前往王宫 I was about to head to the palace.
我特意跑来就是要先告知你这个消息 I came running as I had urgent news to share.
你想必不清楚秋达河是谁 You would not know who Chu Dal-ha is.
我在听到他的名字前也忘了这号人物 I had forgotten about him until I heard his name today.
他是何人？ Who is he?
秋达河是三年前，前往明国被清国逮捕的细作 He is a spy who went to the Ming and was caught by the Qing.
现在则追随着棋待令姜濛雨 And now, he serves Gidaeryeong Kang.
你确定吗？ Are you certain?
下官听到他的名字后 After hearing his name,
心有存疑，便前往义禁府确认了他的长相 I went to the State Tribunal to confirm my doubts.
千真万确 I am certain.
他绝对与棋待令脱不了干系 The gidaeryeong has to be related to this case.
棋待令是疯了吗？ Has he truly lost his mind?
他已得到众人钦羡的无忧劫 Why would he make such a blunder
为何还会出此败着呢？ when he holds a position others can only envy?
他毕竟是 After all,
三年前进行虚假陈述之人啊 he did make a false attestation three years ago.
上回掌令公主之事也是如此 What with Princess Jangryeong's incident,
他心中怀揣着谋反之意也不奇怪啊 it would not be so strange even if he harbored a treacherous intent.
三年前进行虚假陈述？ False attestation from three years ago?
那表示 That means
金慏夏也有可能牵涉其中 Kim Myung-ha may be implicated as well.
是的 Yes, my lord.
他们或许是因为世子殿下才会这么做 They may have committed such an act for His Royal Highness.
我得尽快去觐见殿下 I must go see His Majesty immediately.
殿下 Your Majesty.
您应该受到很大的惊吓 What shocking event is this?
您应该先严惩未能护卫您的安全 Captain Joo Sang-hwa of the Special Firearms Unit
失职的别军职行首周尚和 should be punished harshly for his negligence.
周尚和没有罪 He has committed no crime
逆贼之剑并没有伤及我半分 for the traitor's blade did not reach me.
真是多亏上天的帮忙 The heavens have truly helped.
我在前来的途中，已打听过秋达河的底细 I have looked into Chu Dal-ha's past doings on my way here.
这样啊？ Indeed?
那你说吧 You may report them to me.
是 Yes, Your Majesty.
是这样的 To speak the truth,
秋达河是三年前被清国逮捕的细作 Chu Dal-ha was a spy who was caught by the Qing three years ago.
现在则隶属于棋待令姜濛雨之下 He currently works as a butcher in Banchon Village
为泮村的屠夫 with Gidaeryeong Kang Mong-woo as his patron.
这绝对是三年前因虚假陈述一事 Due to the grudges they hold for the incident three years ago,
便对殿下心怀怨恨的姜濛雨及金慏夏 Kang Mong-woo and Kim Myung-ha
指使刺客来杀害您 must have given the order to assassinate you.
理应立刻将他们押往义禁府 I shall have them sent to the State Tribunal
予以审问 for interrogation.
-请殿下允准 -领府事 -Please approve of this. -Principal Director.
我此次亲自审问，并非是要调查秋达河之罪 This interrogation is not to investigate Chu Dal-ha's crimes.
秋达河已俯首认罪 He has already confessed his crimes.
那么 Then…
您亲自审问所为何事？ what is this interrogation for?
秋达河告发了叛变之举 Chu Dal-ha made a report.
我该如何做 What must I do
才能纾解怨愤？ to resolve my resentment?
俯首认罪，并告发叛变之举 Confess your crimes and make a report.
要求找出那个向清国密告 Report the wicked spy who sold you to the Qing
出卖你的奸恶细作，予以惩治 and petition to have them found and punished.
他要求让危害国家与百姓的细作，所犯下之罪 He reported the spy who put this nation at risk
全数公诸于世 and asked that their crime be brought to light.
我等这一天已等了许久 I have long awaited this day.
与清国勾结 The capital traitor who joined hands with the Qing
让国家与百姓陷入危难中的万古逆贼 and put this nation and its people in a crisis.
我会找出那名龌龊的细作 I will find that vile spy
以大逆罪惩治他 and have them punished for high treason.
让他的恶名流传青史 I will have their disgraceful name engraved in the records…
让这个国家的百姓… so that the people of this nation…
永不忘其罪行 will remember their crime.
魅惑之人 CAPTIVATING THE KING
犯下了罪，却仍要隐瞒罪行过活，这实在让我生不如死 Hiding the crimes I have committed has been eating me alive.
若殿下敢动我，他会率先倒下 If His Majesty dares to bring me down, he will crumble before I do.
您在怀疑与清国勾结的细作 Are you suspecting the spy who colluded with the Qing
是备局堂上中的一员吗？ to be among the members of the Border Defense Council?
您若对领府事朴慒奂出手，将会让您的执政岌岌可危 Attacking the Principal Director will only endanger your reign.
您为何不惜冒险也要这么做？ For what reason are you taking such a high risk?
金慏夏要与大监联手 Kim Myung-ha wishes to join hands with you.
你现在认为我毫无用处了 Are you telling me to take my own life
便要我自尽吗？ now that you have no use for me?
你认为你与清国勾结之罪 Do you truly believe
能瞒天过海，永不败露吗？ your treasonous collusion with the Qing can remain a secret?
