The Queens Umbrella

In this episode, Queen Hwa-ryeong (Kim Hye-soo) was seen struggling desperately. She went out to protect her children and the Crown Prince (Bae In-hyuk), who collapsed as soon as he heard the news of Queen Dowager (Kim Hae-sook)’s illness.

Hwa-ryeong was busy cracking down on her sons from the early morning. As it was the day when King Yi Ho (Choi Won-young) made a special visit, Hwaryeong spent the whole day looking for her children.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince fainted and collapsed. Holding her son in her arms, Hwa-ryeong looked at him worriedly. The Crown Prince’s disease was caused by a lack of blood. This was also the disease that Crown Prince Tae-in had.

Hwa-ryeong was determined to find out how Crown Prince Tae-in got sick and how Yi-ho became King afterward. It’s because she cannot follow in the footsteps of Deposed Queen Yoon (Seo Yi-sook).

Hwa-ryeong visited Deposed Queen Yoon on a rainy night. Kneeling on the dirt floor, she tearfully confessed, “I came here because I was very scared. I begged him to come to me with a loud voice but didn’t know how to keep him by my side”. 

She then said, “I want to know all the things that were not included in the rumors or written in records”. She asked about the royal secret between Deposed Queen Yoon and Queen Dowager when Crown Prince Tae-in was alive.
