In the King's bedchamber, a secret but sharp clash of emotions erupts with the Queen. I have decided to take a concubine.
Taking a concubine is Your Majesty's prerogative, so you need not ask me. I only pray that she makes Your Majesty happier than I have.
The Queen's indifference pricks his pride and irritates him, but he hides it and tries to maintain an authoritative stance. Since the Queen treats me so, perhaps taking a concubine was indeed the right choice.
The King approaches the Queen, asking directly why she pushes him away, as his emotions explode. How could I have known your heart would grow so distant! Why do you consider me such a wicked person?
She simply stares at I-gang in silence, offering no words and no movement.
