The drama tells the story of a pursuit action historical drama in which a prince who covets the throne due to the sudden death of the king and Queen Yu who becomes the powerful one, fight alone to establish a new kingdom within 24 hours.
Focusing on the glorious period of King Gaonan Wu's reign, he was ambitious and vowed to restore the country's prestige and regain the territory occupied by the previous Han Dynasty.At this moment, he was leading an army to fight fiercely with the enemy outside the battlefield, with gunpowder smoke filling the air and war drums beating thunderously.
Deep in the palace, there was an undercurrent surging in the tranquility.Queen Yu, with her gentle and tenacious attitude, and Prime Minister Yibasu jointly guarded this tranquility.However, the powerful Western minister Hai Dabu has evil intentions and secretly covets the throne; the Queen's family in the North exerts heavy pressure, hoping that the Yu family can give birth to a dragon son and stabilize the country.
As soon as the screen turned, a thrilling battle scene appeared in front of us.After a blood-stained battlefield and a life-and-death battle, a heroic woman in warrior attire appeared. She was Queen Woo.For a crucial bronze sword, she quietly left the palace, visited a blacksmith shop, and commissioned repairs.The blacksmith promised that it would be ready in a month, and the queen left quietly after telling her to keep it carefully.
On the way home, bodyguards accompanied him, but unscrupulous people were secretly watching for evil intentions.Fortunately, the queen and bodyguards responded quickly and subdued Xiao Xiao.Later, reinforcements arrived and the truth came out, and everyone knew that this was the noble queen.
On the battlefield, King Gao Nan Wu vowed to go to war, Mu Gu fought side by side with the prince, and the great shaman Sabi used magic to pray for blessings and peek into the future.However, when she foresaw the king's death, she chose silence, weaving the illusion of victory with lies to inspire the king to move forward.The battle was tragic. Although the king was injured while protecting the wooden bones, he still insisted on commanding until the dawn of victory emerged.
Inside the palace, the situation is delicate.The Hai family has been pressing Prime Minister Yiba step by step, trying to interfere in state affairs.Yibasu adhered to his principles, and Queen Yu also stepped forward to support the prime minister.The king's entrustment gave the queen the important task of acting on behalf of the king, which shocked the officials.However, Haishi and Gao secretly conspired to depose the Empress without an heir.
Queen Woo sees the opportunity, but is even more worried about the war.Yibasu revealed the strategy of changing the enemy, indicating that the king might be defeated.At the critical moment, the queen showed extraordinary wisdom, planned a clever plan, and helped her husband win.Yiba was impressed by his wisdom and bravery, and joked that if the queen were born as a man, she would be a wise king.
Finally, the good news came and the king returned triumphantly.The palace was full of joy, and the queen dressed up carefully to welcome the hero's return.However, when she entered the palace, she saw the king surrounded by concubines and receiving treatment.Despite her heartache, the queen suppressed her emotions, inquired about the injury with concern, and supervised the treatment.After confirming that everything was safe, she walked into the banquet and acted as a queen to appease the ministers and stabilize the court.
When the queen entered the brightly lit banquet hall, the king and Prime Minister Yiba Su were talking in a low voice, and their brows revealed their deep concern for the queen's safety.Ebasu comes up with an elaborate protection plan to ensure the queen is safe from any potential threats, but a glimmer of doubt appears in the king's eyes, questioning Ebasu's loyalty and motives.Seeing this, Yibasu spoke sincerely, insisting that all his actions were out of his sincerity to protect the queen, and that he had no other desire but to act according to his plan to keep the queen safe.
At the banquet, the atmosphere was subtle.The leader of the Hai clan caught a glimpse of the king's majestic posture when he entered, and secretly worried whether his injury would affect the overall situation.Unexpectedly, the king appeared in an almost provocative manner, as if he was declaring his inviolability through actions, and at the same time he seemed to be mocking the enemies who were spying in secret.
Seeing this, the queen wanted to go forward and persuade the king to go back to the palace to rest, but he declined.The king expressed his concerns bluntly, knowing that people in the court were surrounded by unpredictable people, like a pack of wolves that could attack at any time.He hoped that the three brothers could hold on to their territory and consolidate their power.
During the banquet, the Gao family took the opportunity to present gifts, but in fact they were hiding a secret, trying to use the king's injury to raise the issue of heir again and plot to depose the queen.Although the king was displeased, he was able to restrain himself at first. When the other party took advantage of the situation, he finally became furious and angrily ordered the guests to be kicked out.
Mr. Gao left, but the banquet did not end.The Hai family secretly colluded with another family, trying to take advantage of the chaos and lay the groundwork for the future fight for the queen's position.Heidegger even secretly summoned his spy “Hermit” to plot further actions.
On the queen's side, Ming Lin's blatant provocation put her in trouble, while the king's worries and determination made her feel even more stressed.She played chess with Yibasu, and although the game was unfavorable, she still persevered, just like her perseverance in the face of difficulties.
However, fate played a cruel joke on the queen.While she was discussing countermeasures with the king, a sudden bad news came like a bolt from the blue - the king was dead.The queen was shocked and distraught. Her world collapsed in an instant, leaving only endless sadness and confusion.In this moment of despair, she couldn't help but recall the good times she spent with the king. Those warm words about the messenger bird have now become an eternal pain in her heart.
The prologue of the story slowly unfolds in the lively atmosphere of the Goguryeo ASEAN Festival twenty-eight years ago.At that time, the young Yu was like a dazzling new star. With his extraordinary wisdom and courage, he rescued the innocent Yibasu from being framed by treacherous plots.During this festival, the young prince Gao Nanwu was also attracted by Yu's extraordinary martial arts, and he developed endless curiosity and admiration for her in his heart.
Going back eight years, the camera turned to that era full of hope.At that time, although she was a woman, Yu had the dream of becoming an outstanding warrior.Her father watched his daughter sweating. Although he was worried that such an ideal might be inappropriate, the gears of fate had already begun to turn.A royal edict broke the peace of the Yu family, ordering the eldest daughter Yu Shun to be married to the second prince.
Yu Shun has lofty ambitions and dreams of becoming a princess or even a queen.Faced with the sudden marriage arrangement, she firmly refused, which triggered conflicts within the family.Finally, under the pressure of his father, Yu Zhengxi (namely the Yu family) decided to marry in place of her sister and went to the north to become the wife of the second prince Gao Nanwu.
A few days later, Yu arrived in the north and married Gao Nanwu.Although they are in a strange place, the two support each other and live a harmonious and happy life.Gao Nanwu not only did not hinder her pursuit, but encouraged her to continue to improve her martial arts and cherish her authenticity.As time passed, Yu felt Gao Nanwu's gentle heart under a strong appearance and his deep love for the people.
The story then shifts to the tumultuous moments leading up to the king's death.After Yu's meeting with the king, the king returned to his palace to take a bath. He was served by Yu Shun, who had ulterior motives - she had been Yu's chief maid.Yu Shun secretly planned a relationship with the king. Gao Nanwu knew this well and always tried to avoid it, which made Yu Shun feel resentful.
At this time, the great goddess Sabi appeared like a ghost, used tricks to seduce Yu Shun, and gave her a bottle of potion that was said to make Gao Nanwu fall in love.Desperate, Yu Shun made a deal with Sabi for status, but accidentally overdosed and tried to blame Yu.
On the other side, Yu was about to go to Gao Nanwu's place, but learned the news of the king's sudden death.Filled with doubts, she returned to her room to test the potion on fish and found that just a few drops were fatal.It turned out that Yu Shun made a big mistake out of ignorance and greed and killed the king by mistake.
Yibasu and his loyal assistants rushed over to inform Yu of the development.The king's death plunged the royal family into chaos, and the queen and family faced unprecedented challenges.In order to prevent the third prince Gao Faqi from taking the opportunity to seize power, Yibasu, Wusuo and Wudao urgently negotiated and formulated countermeasures.
As the threat looms that the exiled former crown prince Pei Yi may return and ascend the throne, the fate of the Yu family hangs in the balance.Their only hope lies in the recalcitrant forces once loyal to the king and queen, but this alliance is not secure.
Faced with a desperate situation, Yibasu proposed two extreme plans: fleeing or marrying Gao Faqi.Despite Wu Suo's strong objections, Yu decided to sacrifice personal happiness in exchange for the safety of his family and country.Yu Shun's persuasion made Yu even more alert, and she realized that her sister had an ulterior secret hidden in her heart.
During the intense preparation process, Yibasu took decisive measures, secretly arrested all people related to the king's death, and blocked the news to buy time for the queen to escape.The marriage plan between the queen and Gaofaqi is put on the agenda, and a negotiation to determine the fate of the country and the family is about to begin.Before leaving, Yu left clues and still had hope for the future.
However, the journey is full of unknown risks.Wu Gu, the loyal bodyguard of the king, is assigned to protect the queen and enlists the help of former stubborn member Mochi.Although Mochi was in a difficult situation, inspired by justice, he became an important force in protecting the queen.
When the queen and her entourage quietly left the palace, Yibasu set up a tight defense in the palace and began to investigate the truth behind the king's death.As the investigation deepened, the murder of Gao Nanwu made the situation more complicated.Yibasu remains highly vigilant about potential spies, and an escaped homing pigeon becomes the key to his tracking of clues.
At the same time, the homing pigeon conveyed the message to the power hidden in the dark - Ming Lin.They were preparing to attack, intending to eliminate the queen before she could meet Gao Faqi.A battle about power and survival quietly unfolded outside the palace.Can Queen Woo survive the crisis?Can the Yu family survive this storm?Everything is full of unknowns and variables.
It begins with a profound flashback spanning 28 years.At that time, the king issued an unprecedented edict, announcing that the champion of the National Chess Championship would be awarded an important government position, regardless of age or origin.A young queen, with extraordinary courage, disguised herself as a young man and quietly entered this contest of wisdom and strategy.She won the crown with her outstanding chess skills, but on the occasion of her coronation, her true identity was revealed, and she immediately fled in panic under the shocked eyes of her father.And the young king, Gao Nanwu, saw her grace again and couldn't help but be fascinated by her again.
As time goes by, we draw our attention back to the six years before the king's death.Gao Nanwu embarked on a journey to Anmugu Village in West Goguryeo with the aim of canonizing Eulbasu as the new prime minister.This move immediately encountered strong opposition from the bureaucracy, who claimed that Yibasu was just a farmer, and that there was an insurmountable blood feud between his family and the royal family - Gao Nanwu's grandfather was the person who ended the Yibasu family.Therefore, the officials were worried that Yibasu might be resentful and endanger the royal power.However, the king was determined and would not hesitate to threaten the survival of the clan and fight against all opinions.He further clarified that although Yibasu does not hold a sword, he will use words as a blade and lead the kingdom to glory with his extraordinary wisdom.
At this moment, Yibasu is going all out to investigate the mystery of the king's sudden death.He was stunned when he learned that Yu Dao had secretly executed all suspects who might be related to the king's death.Yu Dao's move was intended to stifle any voices that might reveal the truth. However, did this move inadvertently affect the queen's safety?
Speaking of the queen, she has embarked on a journey to the Takafaki territory, and her entourage is all ready to prepare.A group of “peasants” encountered by chance on the way, with the keen insights of Wu Gu and Mo Qi, quickly revealed the true face of the assassins.During the short rest, a silent contest quietly unfolded. Unexpectedly, the number of assassins far exceeded expectations, almost forcing the queen into a desperate situation.Fortunately, the queen's extraordinary skills were able to save the day.At the same time, Yushan is still addicted to the elixir given by Sabi. Scenes of the death of the king frequently appear in his hallucinations, and he is uneasy.
In the palace, the royal doctor conducted a detailed investigation into the cause of the king's death and finally determined that it was caused by lily of the valley extract.Since such rare flowers can only be cultivated by the royal family, this undoubtedly points the suspicion directly to the palace.Yibasu immediately ordered a carpet search of the palace, vowing to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.During her visit to Sabi, she not only showed her the harmless elixir of life, but also predicted that Yibasu itself would face many crises, and the starlight was dim, which seemed to be an ominous omen.Then, she secretly sent her confidants to sneak into the palace of the king and queen to search for more clues.
As for the queen, after going through many hardships and dangers, she finally reached the territory of Gaofaqi.The lord of this place, Gao Faqi, is notorious for his arrogance and murderous nature.Not only did he hang corpses in the forest as a warning to others, but he also owned a brutal guard named “White Tiger”, which was terrifying.Gao Faqi himself was a tyrant who slaughtered his people wantonly out of boredom. He was greedy for power and bloodthirsty. He had shown a pathological desire for power and an extreme disregard for human life since he was a child.This time the queen steps into her territory and will undoubtedly face unprecedented challenges and tests.
The queen's sudden visit broke Gao Faqi's elaborate game of terror. He hurried over, his face full of displeasure and confusion, and asked the queen why she broke into his territory so late at night without notification.The queen looked calm and weaved a clever lie, claiming that she was being ordered to go north to deal with a traitor who dared to betray the royal family.She further added that the king was unable to personally intervene in the matter due to his unrecovered injury, so he appointed her to perform the duties on his behalf to show the royal family's importance and determination in this matter.
In the weaving of lies, the queen cleverly took advantage of the king's authority, claiming that the king had issued an order requiring her to treat the traitor as unmercifully as she would treat the forces trying to depose her.These words not only provided a reasonable excuse for her arrival, but also put a layer of invisible pressure on Gao Faqi, making him dare not neglect easily.
However, behind this seemingly impeccable lie, there is a little-known past.In flashbacks, we witness how Takao Ou, as king, shows his ruthless side in the struggle for power.In order to consolidate his position, he resolutely banished his own brother, and even cruelly cut off his nose as punishment before banishing him.This scene was witnessed by the young Prince Kofaqi. From then on, the king planted deep fear and awe in his heart, and also made his desire for power become more twisted and sick.
Focusing on the glorious period of King Gaonan Wu's reign, he was ambitious and vowed to restore the country's prestige and regain the territory occupied by the previous Han Dynasty.At this moment, he was leading an army to fight fiercely with the enemy outside the battlefield, with gunpowder smoke filling the air and war drums thundering.
