Queen Woo

As King Go Nam-mu is out on the battlefield during Goguryeo’s war against Han Dynasty, Queen Woo Hee and Prime Minister Eulpaso occupy the palace in his absence. However, many begin to covet the royal power, and conspiracies among them begin to emerge. The conflict escalates as the King does not yet have an heir to the throne.

As instructed, Queen Woo Hee visits the Third Prince to initiate the levirate marriage. However, upon seeing the consequences of his heinous actions, she concludes that the Third Prince is unworthy of any claim to power. Realizing the urgency, she escapes to avoid further complications. Meanwhile, those who have been biding their time sense that the moment has come to reclaim the throne they believe is rightfully theirs.

Eul Pa So continues to list potential suspects who might be responsible for His Majesty’s death, ultimately concluding that the spy must be someone who knows of the kings demise. Meanwhile, the White Tigers draw closer to Queen Woo, coming within an arms length of capturing her.

While preparing to leave, the Queen kills the Head Maid after finding out that the Head Maid betrayed her. Believing that Eul Pal So will come and help them with returning to the palace, the Queen takes the risk and goes to the ferry dock despite being chased by the White Tigers. Meanwhile, the Queen decides to make the Fourth Prince the new king through a levirate marriage.
