You came to kill me.
Do as what's written here when the loyal officials arrive.
What are you going to do with me?!
Please let me live! Please!
Am I really a human?
Or an animal?
Today, I made Kim Jong Seo pay for his crimes.
You! How dare you lie to everyone!
I have to protect the king.
Queen Insoo~Episode 15~
My Lord!
Where is the Grand Prince?
I have something to tell him.
He went to the Royal Ancestral Shrine.
The Royal Ancestral Shrine?
He'll probably tell the truth and commit suicide.
No way...
It's too late.
Prince Sooyang already...
My Lord.
We found Kim Jong Seo and killed him.
My Lord, let's go to the king's private place.
Where is Kim Jong Seo?
While you are at it you need to take the throne.
I said I need to see Kim Jong Seo.
What's going on?
Tell me what's going on!
What?
Court Lady Park.
What's the noise?
Go and see what's the matter. I'm sure something bad is happening.
Lord Kim Jong Seo is dead?
Yes, Ma'am.
What should we do...
Why should it matter to us?
Court Lady Choi is close to Prince Sooyang's wife, isn't she?
If the king changes,
she won't let me live.
Dowon, go and see what's the matter.
Your Highness...
Your Highness, you are the owner of this nation.
So you should not show fear to anyone.
Aren't you afraid? You're not even running away...
Lord Kim Jong Seo passed away.
They'll kill whomever gets in their way.
What use would running away do?
They're all like mice trapped inside a jar.
There is no place safer than here.
This is the place where the King is.
Right..
No wonder why the Lady Hong wants you so much.
Let's hurry up! Hurry up!
Open the door! We came to escort the King.
Open the door. Yes!
Come here.
We need to live first.
Let go of me. I have to be with the King!
Lady, please, let go of me! I have to be here!
You! Open the gate immediately!
Your Highness, shall I tell you something funny?
Yes...
Once upon a time, there was a woodcutter living deep in the wood.
Break the door!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Ambitious Team @ Viki
What are you doing?!
His Majesty is inside.
That's why we have to drag him out! No way!
Let's kill him. Let's just finish it.
We've gotten blood on our hands all night' he'll be the last one.
Wait until Prince Sooyang arrives.
Don't you know him? He can't make the decision.
He shouldn't kill his own nephew by himself.
Dirty blood should be shed by us. That's what we should do as adults.
-Hurry and break open the door! -Yes.
I told you to wait!
How far we're going to go
will be decided by the Grand Prince himself.
It's Kim Jong Seo's second son, Kim Seung Kyu's body.
Just leave it.
Lord Kim.
Lord Kim...
Why couldn't you close your eyes?
As you wish, your name will be immortal as a loyalist.
So you can close your eyes.
But you...
only knew one side of the story.
It's not loyal to serve an incompetent king.
The nation has had...
a hard time because the king is too little and naive.
You'll see...
I'll revive this country.
Become as great a king as Sejong The Great...
and make everybody in this country feel safe.
Cut off Min Shin, Hwangbo In and Kim Jong Seo's heads...
and hang their heads on the streets.
-Yes. -Yes, sir.
Kim Jong Seo is a loyalist for all ages.
As an elite officer in the military,
he pioneered six army bases in Hamkyung in the northern area on the order of the King Sejong.
He contributed greatly to fix the present border of Korea.
Not just this, he was smart in studies as well.
He altered the history of Koryu.
The history book of Koryu was edited under his supervision.
Sooyang stepped forward to usurp the throne to kill him.
There wasn't a day that he didn't worry because of the rest of Kim Jong Seo's followers.
He was reinstated in King Youngjo's era.
That was 200 years after his death.
Following Kim Jong Se's death and 200 years later,
he got reinstated in the 22nd year of King Youngjo,
and his posthumous name is Chung Ik.
What took you so long?
Master is fine, isn't he?
What is the lady doing?
They are...crying in a room.
Lim, where is the master? Why didn't he come back.
My Lady, it's me, Butler Im.
What happened?
The Grand Prince and the royal officials entered the palace.
I understand.
Welcome, Grand Prince Sooyang, My Lord.
Is the King inside?
Please go inside, Grand Prince, My Lord.
Your Highness, were you surprised?
Yes, Uncle.
Don't worry, Your Majesty.
I found all of them who plotted treason
and took care of them.
Thank you, Uncle.
I will stay next to you and watch over you from now on,
so rest comfortably.
Are you going to live here in the palace, Uncle?
Prince Sooyang didn't mean that, Your Highness.
He'll visit the palace more often than he used to,
so he can protect you, Majesty.
Do you feel uncomfortable that I'll be entering the palace more often, Majesty?
N-n-no Uncle.
Isn't it normal, that an uncle is worried and wants to to take care of his young nephew?
Y-yes. Of course, Uncle.
Don't feel intimidated. Unofficially, we're in uncle and nephew relations.
You can act like a child in front of me, as much as you'd like.
- Head Eunuch.-Yes?
Ah yes, Grand Prince, My Lord.
Is it illegal for me to enter the palace often to visit His Majesty?
That is not true.
However, does it look bad to others?
No. Rather...
Rather?
Did you become mute? Why aren't you talking?
If Grand Prince Sooyang becomes in charge of the state government,
then there'll be no people talking behind, even when you enter the palace often.
Just be in charge of the state government! The royal family has never been involved before.
There have been incidents like that quite often in China,
and many times during the Goryeo era.
I should become the Prime Minister.
That's what you're saying.
Yes. Grand Prince, My Lord.
That's right. That'll be good.When I become in charge of the state government,
then no one would even try plotting treason.
That was a good idea, Head Eunuch.
It's a great idea, as I rethink it.
Did Grand Prince Sooyang meet His Majesty?
Yes, My Lord.
So they did share conversation?
The Grand Prince told him about the incident from last night,
and His Majesty, too, recognized
Prince Sooyang's hard work.
His Majesty recognized Prince Sooyang's hard work?!
A passing dog would laugh at this!
Your speech is too...
It's an obvious scheme, isn't it?!
You must still not be sober yet, My Lord.
You rascal!!! Just because the world is upside down
you're accusing when suspicious?!
It turned out well that His Majesty is satisfied.
His Majesty asked Prince Sooyang
to be in charge of the state government.
Prince Sooyang is Prime Minister?!
Please stay still.
He should've just said, "give that seat to me!"
Why are you like this?
Everything inside and outside the palace will be calm from now on.
Brother,
shouldn't we also get into the meeting hall?
What are you going to do there? Are you going to stand as a shield for Prince Sooyang?
What are you saying, little brother. We, brothers, must help each other, especially at times like this.
Are you saying this because you don't know Brother Sooyang's real intention?
It is true that Kim Jong Seo was a little too harsh.
Is the problem really Kim Jong Seo? Ultimately, brother Sooyang
will try to kill us all. Isn't that right, older brother?
Tell him to try!

Ja ja ja...hurry hurry!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Ambitious Team @ Viki
Make sure to prepare enough alcohol and food. Also, sacrifice another pig if there's not enough meat.
Yes, Madam.
Sister-In-Law!
Welcome. Where's my sister?
I am here.
Congratulations, Sister-In-Law. No, no... Madam in charge.
I came knowing this was going to happen.
The door step will get worn out, since the In-law became the Right Minister.
Thanks to you, I get to brag a bit too.
You should go and rest in my room. I have to finish greeting the guests.
This person...what are you doing? How can you let the madam do work?
First, I need to say my greetings to Madam.
We're going to have a parade for 4 days.
Guests from the palace will also be coming so make sure to cook with care. They're a bit picky.
Yes, Madam.
Go inside and rest, Madam.
I'll take care of this place.
Let me look...
Aigo, welcome, My Lord.
Brother-In-Law!
How happy you must be!The GRAND Prince accomplished a GREAT deed!
Hey, is there something bothering you? Brother-In-Law!
Brother-In-Law!
What Brother-In-Law, you fool!
What? He and I are like Brothers, since he married my Sister-In-Law. Isn't that right, wife?
Is it wrong for me to say Brother-In-Law to him?!
Such a blabber, you are! What have I told you?
Didn't I say that you should lower your body and behave when you meet this side of the family?
Didn't I?!
Prince Dowon came home. Hurry and go see him.
Really?
Why are you standing like that? Change the clothes first.
Well, look at me, please.
I fell asleep for a moment while worrying about you last night.
When I woke up I was resting my head on Mother-In-Law's knee.
I was so embarrassed.
I'd like to be alone.
What kind of speech is that?
Wife.
Is that what you say to a person,
who worried about you all night?
"I'd like to be alone".
I'm okay with that, but haven't you worried about the child inside me?
I cannot...
forgive father.
I felt embarrassed watching father, who took over the seat of Prime Minister by yelling at young nephew.
Because it was too difficult to watch.
I felt as though I wanted to die. Until Kim Jong Seo was okay.
Although Kim Jong Seo was royal to His Majesty, he also had many sins. Nevertheless,
how could he treat his young nephew like that?
I couldn't sit and watch, since I felt bad for His Majesty.
The palace is filled with people screaming right before death,
but every time His Majesty heard that
he shook his body with fear...
and hid himself behind the screen.
What is father thinking...
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I've worried about you the entire night, too.
Mother-In-Law took out Eun Jang Do (small silver knife) and a bottle of poison and placed it in front of me.
I wasn't afraid to die, but I wanted to see your face one more time,
so that was hurting me more.
Wife.
I know I'm still childish.
I acted recklessly, because I didn't want to get married. Then I met the one who'd become my Father-In-Law,
and begged him to make me a queen.Do you think that really was my true wish?
I was born as a daughter of an official who was appointed by Ming, so I had lots of dreams.
I thought it'd be easy for me to become a queen of such a small country like Joseon,
since my aunts were consorts of great Ming.
However, as I become older,
I started to see poor me.
That my father was appointed by Ming
was not something to brag about but shameful.
I could hear people laughing wherever I went.
Husband.
You said at the beginning of marriage, that your dream was to meet a woman that you love
and live together under the same roof.
Do you think my wish is any different?
Since I met such a nice and humble husband,
I don't wish for anything else.
However, if there's another destiny waiting in front of me,
then I'll surely accept that destiny.
If there's an opportunity for Father-In-Law to take over the throne,
then I'll stand by him no matter what the world says.
I cannot do that.
I want to be a queen.
No, it's okay if I don't become a queen.
However, this child...has to receive the throne
following Father and you.
I told you that I cannot!
What if Father-In-Law's great deed failed?
Then you'd have returned to the house and found mine and Mother-In-Law's dead bodies.
Are you still going to say the same?
Don't block Father-In-Law's path. Power belongs to who covets it.
Father-In-Law definitely has the ability to do so.
Please wait.
This Mother will make you a King.
Prince Sooyang has been appointed as the Prime Minister
and became head of the state government. Moreover, he took over the Internal Affairs Administration
and the Department of Defense.
In addition, he established military bases on the outskirts of the border
and took over the command of the troops.
Basically, the world now belonged to Prince Sooyang.
Kim Jong Seo played with King
because he is young pretext Munjong the will of the king.
So I started an insurgency and have accused of the crime.
However, it's not that I don't recognize Kim Jong Seo's royalty.
There is a justice between the king and his subjects.
Even though Kim Jong Seo's royalty was sincere,
he put His Majesty in danger and committed a foolish deed.
Royalty isn't about following His Majesty's orders.
It's about guiding His Majesty to follow the right path
and to protect that path.
I'll serve His Majesty by guiding him to the right path.
I'll also do my best for His Majesty to become a King whom everyone will remember for a long time.
If I ever... try to benefit myself instead,
then anyone of you can point out my sin.
I'll gladly give up my life then.
However, if there's anyone who's blocking my way to benefit himself,
then I'll ask for his sin without any hesitation.
Even if he may be my sibling,
I will never forgive him.
Bring out the alcohol and stew to the guards outside.
They must be hungry since they experienced something like that in the night.
Yes, Madam.
Madam, you should go inside and greet the guests.
How can a person with a high status do work in front of the others?
Then I'll leave it to you.
Yes.
Put that there.
Child.
Yes, Mother-in-law?
Why are you sitting outside like that in the cold weather?
I feel refreshed since I had a good night's sleep. You weren't able to sleep all night,
so you should go in and rest.
It's embarrassing!
I know it's too much, but they say,Mother-In-Law's love the deepest.
I'll massage your shoulders. Go inside and rest.
You're...
It feels good, right?
Mother, did I snore?
Snore?
I suddenly woke up after hearing a loud noise
and I think I woke up because I was startled by my snoring.
What snoring? You slept very peacefully and nicely.
Mother, your knees hurt, right? Lie down, I'll massage your legs as well.
My knees are fine.
Lie down, Mother.
If your knees were sore, you should have woke me up.
There's no reason to be upset because of Dowon.
He may look nice, but he was always stubborn as a bull since he was young.
Aigoo...that feels nice.
I am tired, since I've been far down the road of death.
Brother!
Are we risking our lives to go against Kim Jong Seo to do this?
To promote Prince Sooyang to King and
to establish the country's foundation...
Don't kid yourself.
You stuck yourself next to the prince so you can live well.
What country foundation?
Then did you risk your life because you were worried about the country?
I'm just saying.
At this rate, everything will become worthless.
Let's force the Grand Prince,
and make everything go upside down.
That's right! What do we have to fear?
That's not an easy thing.
Who would protest when our prince is going to become King?
Kim Jong Seo is dead anyway.
The one that talks too much nonsense
will have his mouth cut by me!
Let's do it, brother. We might as well do it now.
Even if we create a problem, Prince Sooyang won't say anything.
Right! Your words are right.
I bet Prince Sooyang is secretly waiting for it, too.
Wait.
He'll probably do that in time.
In what lifetime?
If I want to become the Prime Minister before I die,
then even a day is urgent.
No way, brother. You as the what Prime Minister?
Make me the Minister of Defense.
And me as the Left Minster!
And me as the Minister of Law and Justice!
Anyway,
you've been smiling from early on. Is there any good news?
Did the Grand Prince
promise you a high ranking seat?
Be careful, folks.
Be careful of what? What do you mean by that, brother?
I meant, if you don't be careful with what you say,then you may get hit by lightening.
By whom may we get hit lightening?
What do you mean WHOM? It's Prince Sooyang, of course.
That brother always ruins everything when everything seems good.
Aigo, you've all worked hard this time.
They say, when a koi jumps
anchovies are jumping as well.
Are you still not sober?
There's no reason for that!
You might as well carry the bottle with you everywhere.
Please give me a sip, if there's leftover alcohol.
Spitting loudly
I apologize.
- Lord Ha is originally.. - possesses no shame.
What's wrong with that? There should a at least one person who says the right thing.
- Since you understand..- Prince Sooyang is grateful.
I heard the royal scholars joined us because of you.
It was nothing.
Let's try to do well from now on. Since Prince Sooyang is in charge of the government,
royal scholars will be able to avoid cold rice.
What are you going to do from now on?
With what?
Prince Sooyang isn't a trustworthy person.
Let's wait and see.
There's no need to wait and see. You know what Prince Sooyang is after.
It's obvious!
Don't get too far ahead.
Don't you think we need to get a pledge from Prince Sooyang?
A pledge that states when he'll be stepping down.
My expectation of Prince Sooyang is great.
Definitely, his governing method will be different than of Kim Jong Seo.
The problem is Prince Sooyang's ambition.
Don't worry. If Prince Sooyang takes the illegal path,
then I'll be the first one to defend it with my life.
Be responsible for what you just said.
Why are you hesitating, My Lord?
You can't say that you succeeded by letting Prince Ahnpyung live.
So?
So, are you saying that I must kill Ahnpyung?
You need to finish tying the knot by today.
We've killed enough people already.
Metal has to be hit when it's been used for a bit.
After today, it'll become difficult to kill Prince Ahnpyung,
and tomorrow will be even more difficult.
Let's leave it at that. What power does Ahnpyung have?
I feel pity on you.
If Kim Jong Seo and Prince Ahnpyung have decided to kill you,
then they would've already killed you, My Lord.
However, what was the reason they couldn't do it?
Because they didn't have a justification for killing you, My Lord.
Things have changed now.
Now they have a tons of reasons to kill you, My Lord.
Do you think Prince Ahnpyung is the only one?
If any one waves the flag to kill traitor Sooyang,
then Kim Jong Seo's faction will gather together like a bunch of clouds.
My Lord, you're wearing the shackles now.
Whether you're sitting on that seat or sitting on the throne
you're wearing the shackles in the name of a traitor.
A traitor, you say?
Did you say that I'm a traitor?
Come here, come here
Mother-In-Law, I'm curious about one thing.
Why did you give a hint and don't say anything?
What would've happened, if I drank the medicine that you gave me?
What medicine?
The medicine bottle you gave me, in case things went wrong.
That's right. You mean that medicine?
If you didn't stop me, then I was going to drink that medicine and die.
Why are you laughing? I'm asking you seriously.
That bottle contained medicine that doesn't kill you.
- What? -Therefore, it was not possible for you to die.
What do you mean by that?
You said the medicine bottle contained poison.
Please tell me exactly what the circumstance was.
Even after lots of thinking, I don't understand what you're saying.
Do you really think that I gave a medicine bottle containing poison
to an impatient daughter-in-law?
Then did you play me?
I wanted you to think twice about it before death.
If something goes wrong and we're facing desolation,
then this family lineage will be cut.
Hence, you must live.
So, the baby inside your stomach can continue the lineage.
How can I survive by myself, Mother-In-Law?
I've never thought of that.
Due to this Mother-In-Law's mistreatment
you've had a tough time inside, right?
No, Mother-In-Law.
Before I gave birth to Prince Dowon
I was not different than you.
Since your Father-In-Law treated me so well
I didn't know how high the sky was.
You didn't live with the In-Laws.
So, couldn't you treat me extra well?
What kind of child are you?
When I show a little gap, then you're trying to sit on top of my head.
Even you making scary face won't work on me any more, Mother-In-Law.
You showed me inside out, so do you think I'll even blink?
Where are you going?
I need to go to the shrine.
Just sit here. That's not a place you should be at.
I haven't even told Father-In-Law that he has worked hard.
I, Prince Gaeyang, share the deepest relationship with Prince Sooyang
compared to the other brothers.
Therefore, how can I not be happy?
Please drink all the way!
It's so great!
We need to put an end to this since we've seen the blood.
So called scholars just came out?
-Baek Bu.-You person,
think about it a bit!
What do you mean we should do, after putting a child in the palace?
Since Prince Sooyang became the Prime Minister..
You shut your mouth!
If something went wrong last night,
then you guys would've all become corpses.
That's right!
Did you put your life on stake to get the Prime Minister's seat?
Please say everything and give it to me, Baek Bu.
Don't underestimate His Majesty because of his young age.
Even if he gets a little bit of power,
he'll demand your neck.
Kim Jong Seo will open up the coffin lid
and get up immediately!
Don't worry too much, My Lord.
We'll wait for the right opportunity..
You're living off of Ming,
so what's with the interference?!
You should've told Ming exactly!
That Prince Sooyang is the only person for Joseon's next heir.
How can you say that I'm getting special treatment from Ming. I'm..
I told you to shut your mouth!
I don't know whether I'll die today or tomorrow.
You need to sit on the throne before I die,
so I can close my eyes in peace.
It summons blood when the King is weak.
You're the one who should cut that hoop.
Let go off me, you rascals! I can still walk on my own.
You'll see.
You'll regret for a long time.
Ch..ch..child.
I'm sorry, My Lord.
We should've gotten slapped
instead of you.
Aigo, In-Law!
Please forgive me, In-Law.
Prince Yang Young's sickness has gotten worse,
but he even has become senile, I think.
No, no. I'm all right.
Please sit.
Yes.
You must feel relieved!
-Wife.-Why did you come in to this room?
Today, my own father got slapped.
Tomorrow, you'll probably receive the same kind of humiliation.
What are you saying?
You doing everything that Father-In-Law does not approve.
Don't stand in front of your father.
If you and your father stand in front of each other,
then this child will also get mistreatment from him.
Ultimately, you're talking about that?
My father was slapped by the In-Law,
who is Prince Yang Young.
You don't know that?
Think about it.
How long do you think Father-In-Law will sit in that seat?
Someday, he'll have to give up the seat of Prime Minister.
That's the order, isn't it?
What do you mean that's the order?
When he leaves the Prime Minister's seat,
then how much longer do you think he'll live?
Within a day, there will be people who'd try to kill him
all over Joseon.
And you're calling that's the order?
Wishing for more than that is greed!
Don't you really know what Father-In-Law wants?
Do you think he killed all those people because he covets the seat of Prime Minister?
Please stop, wife.
Last night, I was truly greatful
when you took the arrows and followed your father.
I just wanted to protect you and the child.
Please help me.
I really can't understand father.
We can live like other families who are living the ordinary life.
You spoke well.
As last night,
please protect me and this child.
If your father takes the throne, then this child will become an heir.
My son will follow your father, then you and take the throne.
What if it's a daughter?
We can have another child then.
Even if it takes having ten or twenty children, I'll have it until have a son.
Husband. Husband!
Husband!
Please eat a lot.
- Bring out the horse.-Yes, My Lord.
Where are you going?
I never want to see your face again.
Husband.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Ambitious Team @ Viki
Where are you going, husband?
Don't even dream of it.
Even if father will leave the throne,
I'll not take over that seat.
Why is she taking so long? Get over there and check it.
Yes, Madam.
Father, you should see Jung's face before you leave.
It's okay. I can see her later.
Let's go.
Father!
Why are you crying on this nice day?
Father became the Right Minister.
Right Minister?
Prince Sooyang asked him to be in charge of the Right Minister.
Why, Father-In-Law...
If he was going to give father a higher seat, then father should've been given the seat of Left Minister.
Anyway, that greed...
We'll leave now
Congratulations, My Lord
Take care everyone.
My Lady, congratulations!
I heard My Lord became the Right Minister.
What? He slapped the cheek?
I had not a moment to stop him.You know about Lord Baek Bu's personality.
At the rate of blink of an eye..
You've been too harsh.
How shocked the In-Law must have been.
I agree.
Did he become senile?
Wife, can you consult our daughter-in-law?
Are you saying that he got slapped while the daughter was watching?
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Why are you talking as if you're talking about a stranger?
Do you think this incident is normal?
My point exactly.
You're just trying to hurry up and ignore it.
Ah, that personality of his!
Like I said, at the rate of blink of an eye...oh well...
Wife,
stop sighing and please go over to our daughter-in-law.
What can I say to her now?
It'll just make things get worse.
Oh well...
If it is the Right Minister, then next of His Majesty?
Next, next seat, it is!
My Lady, that's not just an ordinary high seat.
Hence, who became the Left Minister?
How would I know?
He'll probably give the seat of Left Minister in one or two months.
Since people are scrutinizing now, he probably just gave the seat of Right Minister.
Don't you agree, My Lady?
Sharing the seats of Right and Left among the in-laws.
Father-in-law... seriously...
Pardon?
If he was going to get hit,
then he should've gotten hit one more time.
What do you mean by that, My Lady?
Since he became the Right Minister by getting hit once,
if he got hit twice, he would've then become Left Minister.
You may leave now.
Ma'am.
I told you to leave!
Why are you suddenly trying to get rid of me?
Still I must be here so that you...
Should I then show my tears in front of a servant?!
Yes, ma'am, I will leave. I am leaving.
