Father is drawing in business people.
Kim Jong Seo would never think that Prince Sooyang will attack him before his daughter's wedding.
Aigoo!
Come over here, I will show you around the king's palace.
I will never forget your kindness, mother.
Do you think the problem will be solved if the Lord knows?
Have you made your decision, Lord Kim?
What are you talking about?
Are you saying the king has left the palace?
I came because I have something to ask you, Uncle Suyang.

Queen Insoo~Episode 11~
Didn't I tell you to safeguard the palace?
It happened all of a sudden.
Step away! We came to escort the king.
Where do you think this is to cause havoc?
Don't you know that if the king is in the carriage, it is equivalent to the palace?
Who do you think you are?
Oh? I was wondering who you are.
Aren't you Lord Kim's son?
I am following Lord Kim's command, and came to escort the king.
For what reason is Lord Kim telling you to escort the king?
Since the king has suddenly left in the middle of the night, in case harm would come...
Harm?
Minister Suyang is the king's uncle.
They share the same blood, so what do you mean by harm?
Disturbance? Raising your sword towards where the king stays is harassment!
Right now, you are committing treason.
You're just a trifling eunuch.
So why don't you try killing me first?
Look at me.
Look at my face and tell me.
Your Highness.
Will you spare my life?
Your Highness.
I came because I wanted to know your answer.
How could I...
Look at my face, uncle.
There is no one in the world who I can trust.
There was not a day I could sleep in peace because there was no one I could trust.
My heart is filled with assumptions, so how could I sleep comfortably?
Shall I give you my position?
-Your Highness -If you take my position, you will at least protect my life.
How could I dare to covet that position?
How will I be able to face your father after I die if I took the throne away from my young nephew?
How could I see my king?
Then, make a promise.
Tell me that you'll protect me even if a cataclysmic change occurs.
Your Highness.
Please answer me, uncle.
Your Highness, I will protect you.
I will protect you with my life.
If there is someone who is trying to harm you, whoever it is,
I will get rid of them. Even if it means risking my life.
This isn't your place to interfere.
Your Highness, do you not trust me?
If you cannot trust my promise,
I will end my life right here
to prove that promise is true.
-What are you doing?! -Why are you like this?
Let me go! If I die, no one will be able to harm His Majesty.
Kill me first! If you are going to die, then kill your mother first!
Husband!
Your Majesty...
It's fine.
My heart feels at ease after hearing your words.
Your Majesty.
Yes.
Hyungnim, please protect me.
Your Majesty.
Hyungnim...
Your Majesty...
Hyungnim...
It's a royal command.
All the soldiers have to head back to Pyongyang.
What should we do?
Didn't I just say it was a royal command?
If you do not move away right now, all of you will be executed for treason.
Let's go back!
Yes.
Foolish boy!
Do you know where that is? How dare you go there with soldiers!
-Sooyang held the king hostage. -You drew a sword to the king!
You have committed treason!
You fool!
For my life,
my heart only obeyed.
You are not my child!
Is it okay to present food to His Majesty in his private house?
That's absurd, My Lady. Food to his private house?
Isn't it Prince Sooyang's food?
I'm just worried he may fall sick.
His Majesty left the palace in the middle of the night to visit the Minister.
Do you think this is appropriate?
It wouldn't have happened if Prince Sooyang had bad ideas toward it.
His Majesty trusts the prince that much.
Don't worry about it, My Lady.
Please follow the prince's formality and take care of His Majesty.
I understand.
It won't taste as refreshing because we made the watery radish kimchi a few days ago.
It's okay.
I served the food on one table instead of two because Your Majesty and His Highness seem to be companions.
I said it's okay.
Hyungnim, come closer.
I said to come closer.
After you have finished the noodles, I will serve the snacks.
Were you really that hungry?
I starved all day and I thought I was going to die from hunger!
These noodles taste amazing!
Father, how come you didn't answer?
I've been asking myself over and over again.
Are you actually planning to protect the prince?
Father...
My young nephew came in the middle of the night
and asked me while risking his life, I couldn't tell a lie.
Now, have you decided?
I have to protect him.
Child...
I'm sorry I could not keep the promise.
It's okay even if I can't become the queen.
Since I became the daughter in law of Minister Sooyang, it is the same as fulfilling my wish.
Thank you for saying that.
But, we still need to kill Kim Jong Seo.
We need to kill Kim Jong Seo and return all the conditions to His Majesty.
Welcome Minister.
I came to meet His Majesty.
He is waiting for you. Please go inside.
You should play outside.Don't wander off too far.
Yes ma'am.
Welcome Minister, please go in.
It's good that you came.
I assume you know that His Majesty went to Minister Sooyang's residence last night.
Sooyang swore his loyalty to the king.
Isn't that so, Eunuch?
Yes, it is.
Everyone knows how loyal you are to the king.
So now there is only one person left.
What does that mean?
There is Prince Anpyeong.
If only Prince Anpyeong swears his loyalty, then all the worries will disappear.
Isn't that so, Eunuch?
Yes it is, Your Highness.
I believe you are over 70 years old.
He's lived quite a long time.

What?
I'll get in trouble with Lady Hong if I go too far.
Don't you find Lady Choi pitiful?
Lady Choi is sad all of the time.
I'm not that far away from her.
If she wants to see me, then she can just come to the Daejeon.
Lady Hong forbids her from coming to the king's palace.
Song Yi! Song Yi!
Mother...
Mother!
-Mother... -Let me look at you...
Mother!Mother...
Mother...Mother...
Mother...
Open... open!
It's about time we settle this matter!
Yes, I agree.
Welcome.
Is your master home?
Yes, please come in.
I don't see anyone today, not even an ant.
The king has issued a royal command.
Anyone who threatens or harms Grand Prince Sooyang will be punished with treason.
Really? That's good.
Please come in.
So, are you saying that you will harm your father?
Mother...I doubt that was what he meant.
That's what it sounded like to me.
Tell her properly.
Is that not what you meant?
Didn't you say you will get rid of anyone who tries to harm the king, even if it means putting your life on the line? Didn't you?
Yes, mother.
Unbelievable...
We have lost a good chance.
Since the King came here by himself, everything would have been finished if we had gotten a royal command to get rid of the traitors.
We have lost a good chance to get rid of Kim Jong Seo.
Do you share the same thoughts?
It would be better to sit under a chestnut tree and wait for the chestnut to fall.
What does that mean?
You may be able to eat a chestnut for free,
but you will have to pay the price for eating a free chestnut.
So frustrating... stop twisting your words and just say it!
There is no position for you, as the persimmon on a memorial table when you got to eat for free.
Do you understand his words?
Not very well.
Is this a time to be joking?
Then, when will it be good?
Everyone already knows about the fact that the prince is planning a coup.
That means all other sides keep guessing the time we will do that.
That's true.
Don't joke!
What do you think about the wedding day?
What do you mean by wedding day?
Invite Kim Jong Seo, Mrs.Hwang, and Prince Anpyeong as guests, then,
we can just get rid of them all in one...
You can't.
Are you planning to ruin your daughter's marriage by splattering it in blood?
Even you with the title of Imperial Envoy thought of ruining another's wedding?!
You married wrong.
I know very well what your dream is; what father's dream is.
But, I have no thoughts of letting you both go ahead.
Husband...
Whatever happens, I will protect the king.
Do you understand?
I'll protect the king, even if we get divorced or cut off the relationship with my father.
Your Majesty, should I light the room?
Your Majesty, the sun has gone down.
Should I bring the light, Your Majesty?
Ma'am, I'll stay here so you should leave.
He's been sitting like that all day long.
Go take a break and come back.
Will you do that?
Were you looking for Song Yi?
I can't seem to find her no matter where I look.
Is there a place you assume?
Your Majesty.
Talk, tell me.
My son...
has committed an unforgivable crime against you.
Are you going to talk about that?
Your Majesty, I have no regrets even if I die today.
But for you to grow,
and become a righteous king...I won't be able to see that.
What are you saying? You have to stay alive until then.
Your Majesty, you cannot trust Minister Sooyang.
So in the end, you came here to say that.
Your Majesty...
- please...- Just stop now!
Who was it that made me into a scarecrow? It was you, Minister!
Answer me!
Even if you have 100 mouths, you won't have anything to say.
You laugh?
You're laughing at me right now!
I'm proud of you.
When I listen to His Majesty's majestic voice
I feel pain inside.
Just like Hyebin said,
you are no longer a young child.
Your Majesty, just as you did to me today,
please become the courageous king who rules the world.
That sly old man!
The night is dark.
-Be careful--What do you mean dark?
In my eyes, the entire world
is radiating blinding light.
There are plenty of things to eat in the Daejeon, but it seems you didn't even get to eat properly.
Don't even talk about it. The mistreatment was way too much.
I thought you were living a luxurious life in the Daejeon.
What luxury?
Are you saying Lady Hong doesn't favor you?
Whenever Lady Hong comes near me, I start gagging.
Why is that?
A horrible stench comes from her body.
Oh my!
Her skin is all wrinkly and
whenever I sleep in Lady Hong's arms,
I feel like I really want to die.
It's because she's old. Everyone smells like that when they get old.
Don't say anything about me being here.
Understand?
Yes ma'am.
If you do tell,
you're going to die by my hands.
Yes...ma'am.
Mother.
Yes?
I think I should go.
Lady Hong should be looking for me with fire in her eyes by now.
Sleep and then go.
If she wants to do it, she should try to do it!
Are you sleeping?
Don't take it to heart. Just forget it.
Do you really think our son would suggest making a life or death decision?
If our son doesn't want to take over my position, then what's the point?
If he refuses until the end,
you can just pass it on to his younger sibling.
Our daughter-in-law is right. Rather than living as the enemy of the Palace...
I keep musing about my father and bother.
Don't say things like that.
I've already decided.
In case things go wrong,
I'm prepared to die.
Are you really planning to block your father's path?
If you block your father, your father will die.
Will you still block him?
So that's why I'm saying I will die first.
I'm an ordinary person.
A person without aspiration or ambition.
Just an ordinary man.
I'm a person that isn't a good match for you.
But...
the reason I went through the marriage...
was because I didn't want to lose you.
"It's this person".
It was as if...
a relationship forbidden by destiny
was suddenly allowed.
I recognized it at first sight.
That you're sincere and amiable.
This... you have so much dirt under your nails!
What smell is this?
Are you going to pollute the palace with the powder smellfrom early morning?!
Hurry up and go wash your face!
Vicious one.
Lady Hong, I apologize for yesterday.
She whined so much about wanting to sleep and then go.
What's with this appearance?!
You probably feel empathy since then.
I won't ever hold her back again.
Just let her do whatever she wants to do.
What is this? You can't even be clean?!
How long will I even live?
Isn't that so?
After I die...
you will have to take care of her.
Lady Hong, the inspection is finished.
Let's go.
Be careful.Everyone hurry up!
We have to put everything in by today!
Carefully, carefully.
That's expensive.
1, 2, 3...okay.
Ah, it's so pretty.
Hey, hey! Do you know how much this costs? How can you just carry it like that?
Stay still!
If this falls on the ground like this,
you won't be able to pay it off even if you sell all your children.

Do you not like it Mother?
This is enough.
If you don't like it, I can prepare it again.
There's an old saying: when the daughter gets married, then she becomes a part of another family.
So even if you give everything that you have in your house,
you are still sad.
A person's greed has no limit.
I understand Mother.
Sa Mul!
Take all the wedding gifts we have received back to their owners.
Huh?
Don't miss even one, take everything back.
Why are you making such a commotion? I told you it was enough.
I was going to acquire wedding gifts that are more precious and expensive than the royal gifts from palace.
However, I lowed the standard due to my In-Laws.
My In-Law, Lord Ha Guyk Jae is the head of the royal researching facility.
He is the one who represents those pure and clean scholars.
That's why if the wedding presents that enter his house are too precious and expensive,
then my in-laws might feel embarrassed.
You even thought that far?
My thinking
hasn't reached that point yet.
No Mother. My thinking was inadequate.
Just because my in-law is a sharp scholar
do you think he'll not agree with becoming family with father who is the major prince of this country?
If the timing was right, then my sister-in-law must have been recognized as a princess.
That is why we need to celebrate it bigger and better than the princess'.
Where will we be able to find such big money like that?
Don't worry. I will take care of everything.
Ah, really...
What's with the indecisiveness?
Those things were acquired for salesmen at the market! Ah seriously...
You just bought cheap things after accepting dirty money.
W-w-w-what are you saying?!
These items are hard to find even in this market.
I'm saying this because you once stole and sold rice without the madam knowing.
What are you saying?!
If I ever stole rice and sold it,
then I would get hit by lightning!
Why are you looking at the sky?
To see if lightning will strike.
Ahhh, really... I told you I never did!
Then what is this? With what money did you buy this?
I didn't buy that but my mother received it as a present from her mother-in-law after she got married.
I'm telling you it's true!
Then, you've never stolen rice?
Ahhh...really...
Then why did you confess that you stole it?
Then what am I supposed to do? If I say I never stole rice,
how sad would madam feel?
Seriously?! You took the blame for nothing because madam would feel sad?
It is my honor to serve the prince, so
is it that big of a deal to get hit a few times?
What are you doing? Hurry up and bring the goods! Hurry!
I...just need you to know.
Even when I was getting punished with the rod to my butt
I only thought of you.
What if you were disappointed...
I already knew.
You knew?
I already knew that you weren't a person to do that.
Should I take this chest too, madam?
Didn't I tell you to take everything out of this room without leaving a single thing?
Yes.
Take this too.
Be careful...careful.
-Careful...careful! -Why are you bringing that chest out?
Then should I put it back in, Sir?
-Hurry and take it out. -Yes, Sir.
Be careful!
Be careful with that!
Father! You didn't even give it to me when I got married no matter how much I begged
because it was an item Mother treasured.
You're just giving it to them without any words?
Father!
Where did you put the pottery aunt sent us?
Oh, it's in the room.
-Go and bring it carefully. -Yes madam.
Father, I don't see the present that your received from Sejong The Great.
-Ah, that- -Father!
You promised that you'd give that to Prince Gae Yang.
Did I say that?
I'm going to take that too.
Hey Jung.
That is in the room you used to use.
Thank you Father.
Father!
What can I do?
Do you think it'll end because I said no? With her temper?
I'll just lose heart of the people.
This was why I said I wasn't going to get married with him.
What's wrong with him?
He is the son of a concubine!
That's why you don't treat your son in law nicely.
Still mother, you have to see.
After asking the prince's secretary, I've decorated the room for the newlyweds, however, wouldn't my sister-in-law feel sad if I've missed something?
It's fine. With your temper, how well would you have decorated it?
Mother!
I'm telling you I don't have to see it!
I don't know if that's a compliment or complaint.
"With your temper, how well would you have decorated it?"
Mother...
Still mother, you should see it.
I also prepared the furniture that's going to the in-laws' house.
Pottery is from the royal palace.
What did your husband say?
Since receiving that kind of insult from the son,
I don't have the right to see his face.
Father may have been sad
but I was happy.
What does that mean?
What is there to be said about Prince Dowon's personality?
In this world, there are people who make fun of Prince Dowon's feeble-minded personality,
but in this cold climate
he's like the warm sunlight which melts the ice.
That is the Prince Dowon, who showed his warm hands to his father.
Mother,
Prince Dowon has the ability to follow father's path.
With that kind of aptness who will say he will lack in anything?
If he goes against this till the end, what will you do?
Answer me.
If he goes against his Father until the very end, what will you do?
I'm telling you to answer!
He should follow his father's wishes.
Yes, he will follow his father's wishes.
Why are you suddenly looking for calligraphy tools?
Are you planning to study literature or something?
It's obvious that a scholar looks for calligraphy tools.
A scholar also depends on what he does. Most of the day you just spend at the Gi Seng House.
This lady...
I ran away from my wife's nagging but you're worse.
I don't want my hair to be pulled out again.
So if you are going to continue to come here, control your wife first.
Let's see..."climbing Mt.Gum Gang comes after eating"(referring to what's priority)
Before I study literature shall I study this first?
Why are you like this in broad daylight?
It doesn't matter if its day or night to study.
Here. Let's have a look.
Is it still a no?
Before Taejong The Great passed on the throne to Sejong...
he killed all his enemies and even allies.
When the political force takes the royal force lightly,
the power will tear apart.
And when the power tears apart, then the citizens will suffer.
That's why after killing all of his followers,
HE abdicated the throne.
Thanks to that, King Sejong
left his numerous accomplishments.
even Kim Jong Seo.
By killing Kim Jong Seo,
we can return all power back to the king.
Do you undersatnd what I'm saying?
Please trust your father.
A person's greed...
has no limits.
If Kim Jong Seo dies,
then another Kim Jong Seo will appear and try to harm the king and you.
Everytime that happens,
will you kill and kill again?
I have to protect the King.
Father, you...
are another Kim Jong Seo.
Sorry, father.
Hey!
I have for 30 years,
held back the anger threatening to burst from my heart.
That seat was mine from the beginning!
How was he makes Principle of succession by legitimate firstborn son!
There is bloodshed because a weak king is sitting on the throne!
It was my place.
That seat...
When are you going to write? Why are you only thinking all day?
Is there even something inside your head?
People do nothing if someone pushes them.
[killing list]
[ Kim Jong Seo ]
[ Hwang Bo In ]
[ Min Shin ]
Aah!
[ Prince Anpyeong ]
[ Lee... ]
[ Lee Hyun... ]
It's me.
[ Lee Hyun Ro ]
Killing list
Just like this, the coup which changed the direction of the flow in history began.
Killing list? Are you planning to make me into a murderer?!
I have deeply engraved you into my heart.
Are you upset, Mother?
He's going against something his father is risking his life for,
of course I'm upset.
Where am I?
It seems that I have your child.
Wait just a bit, let me tell mother.
If this child can be born and see its mother's face,
my wish will be fulfilled.
