Episode 11 of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty begins with Ji-young denying becoming the King's companion as she must return to her world. However, she clarifies that she doesn’t dislike Lee-heon and promises to return if possible.
The King understands Ji-young’s feelings and says he will wait for her. His chief royal cook also asked him never to turn into a tyrant and be a wise King. The next day, Ji-young and her team of royal chefs prepare food for the Queen Dowager's ceremony.
She prepares a special soy meat gujeopan & eggplant pie for the Queen, as she hasn't been eating any meat. The moment becomes even more cheerful when the King himself performs for his grandmother.
However, the celebration soon turns into a nightmare as Lee-heon learns a devastating truth: His mother died after she was poisoned under the orders of his grandmother. This way, the joyful mood collapses for everyone except Kang Mok-ju and Prince Jesan.
The King loses control and takes out his sword to kill his grandmother and everyone who kept the truth hidden for years. Lee-heon is broken and filled with rage, but Ji-young calms him down.
She confesses her love to the King and reminds Lee-heon of the promise he had made earlier: Never become a cruel emperor. And just when it looked like Lee-heon had finally considered her words, the King's maternal grandmother showed him a bloodstained cloth of her daughter.

Tension intensifies in episode 11 of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty as King Lee-heon decides to behead his grandmother for killing the former Queen (his mother). Ji-young tried hard but couldn't stop him, and made her final move.
She offers the handmade chocolate to the King’s maternal grandmother, and the taste brings her back to her senses. Just when Lee-heon is about to kill Queen Dowager, his maternal grandmother reveals that:
"Her majesty took the poison, and she coughed up blood. She cried out toward the sky. 'My son... may he become a sage king'. Those were the words she cried out before taking her last breath."
King Lee-heon took his sword down, as his mother's last wish was to see her son become a sage king of Joseon. Unlike his father, who chose to kill his wife using brutality, the former Queen wanted Lee-heon to become a wise and kind ruler of the dynasty.
