If you block my once again, then I'll cut the father and son relationship.
Since when have you been hating me so much?
Is she an ordinary Mother-In-Law?
She is officially Her Highness!
You're too harsh. Making us move in the middle of the night?
What difference would it make by killing yet another child?
Father!
For your sake,
I'll get to that seat.
Husband. Why are you like this? Husband?
Why are you so surprised? As if you saw a ghost or something.
Are you the Head Court Lady?
Yes, Your Highness.
Queen Insoo~Episode 21~
Should I get ready for you to enter the bathroom?
Is Court Lady Hong trustworthy?
I'm saying that because I'm worried about conversation will get outside the main hall.
I'm sorry to say this,
but the court ladies can't hear even with the ears, and they can't see even with the eyes.
That's just to say to satisfy the listeners.
That's true, but..
I better change everyone to people who are trustworthy.
What's there to worry, Your Highness?
You can do as you please when it comes to internal affairs.
The problem is Prince Yangyoung.Supposedly he is fond of Court Lady Hong.
Did it go well?
She must be worried about Prince Yangyoung.
Then, there's no other way.
Leave it to me, Ma'am.
Would you do it?
Just don't forget about me, when you become the Head Court Lady.
How could I possibly forget about your hard work?
Ah, that feels good.
Exactly, exactly..I feel pain right there.
Does it feel good, Lady?
Your hands are like medicine hands.
Because you are standing all day.
Younger ones like I am even feeling pain in the back at night..
Ma'am, should I bring you a cold Sik Hae (sweet rice drink)?
Ah, yes, since I feel a little suffocated inside...
Ma'am, I'll be back.
Head Eunuch!
Head Eunuch! Something terrible has happened!
What's the matter?
They say Court Lady Hong has died.
Leave now without commotion!
I told you to get to your rooms!
Ma'am...
Ma'am..
Head Eunuch, Court Lady Hong wanted to drink the Sik Hae, so...
Stay outside.
Yes, Head Eunuch.
Eunuch Kim!
Yes, Head Eunuch.
Get ready to transfer the body.
Yes.
You must transfer the body by tonight.The ones who died in the palace
cannot be left in the palace for not even for a day.
Yes, Head Eunuch.

Did she, by any chance, get killed by poison?
How she was killed doesn't matter. She is dead no matter what.
We should report this to the Main Hall, Head Eunuch.
What's the big deal that a mere old Court Lady died,
so I must report to the Main Hall?
Just keep your mouth shut. I'll deal with the aftermath.
Of course. We should.
You two Ladies just make sure to control underlings from talking.
Ma'am, you basically have the seat of the Head Court Lady.
You fulfilled your wish!
Thank you.
There's no need.
You're not sleeping?
I woke up, since I heard the commotion from outside.
Song-Yi, come here.
Mother, did something good happen?
Of course!
Now I won't have to worry about you being taken away.
Where should I escort you to, Your Majesty?
Let's go to the Queen's Chamber, then to Changdeok Place.
Yes.
Let's go to the Queen's Chamber.
Your Highness. You better get ready.
I received the message saying that His Majesty is arriving.
Why does he want me to go to Changdeok Palace everyday..
Your Highness, it's the Head Court Lady.
His Highness is waiting for you.
Your Highness. You better hurry.
I understand.
Did His Majesty sleep well?
Yes, Your Highness.
You better serve His Majesty well. I put you on that seat because I trust you.
How could I possibly do less?
Visiting once a month is enough...
The sun might rise like in the middle of the day.
You should've gone by yourself then.
Let's go.
Who is talking secretly?!
You better correct your body and mind!
Court Lady Hong may may have treated you well, since she was old. However, I'll be different.
If you ever get out of my sight, then you'll definitely get punished!
Please tell me if there is anything you don't feel comfortable with.
Don't worry. I'm doing just fine because of you.
You should get up now.
I'm sorry for saying this, but I'd like if you came once a month from now on.
Do you think it is easy for the young nephew to receive the greetings from his uncle twice a day?
That's because I'm worried, since he resides far away.
What's there to worry about? His Majesty has already cut off his relationship with the rest of the world.
We're saying that, because we feel sorry that you have to come here to give greetings morning and night.
There is no one who visits, so there's no need for you to worry. That's what we're saying.
Your speech has grown thorns.
Wife.
You better stand up.
They want to rest, they said.
Let's go quickly!
That despicable one... I said let's go quickly.
Your words were too harsh.
Even if the words were worse, would it be worse than taking the throne?
You would rather beg for mercy to coyote.
Do you think Prince Sooyang would let us be alive?
Yes. I know.
Your Majesty.
You better guard this place well.
There will be people who are blinded by power and try to kill the previous King.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Why are you hesitating? Who would people follow, since there are two kings in the palace?
You better hurry. Don't you get what's happening?
Not even for a day or two, but until how long does hehave to greet his young nephew every morning and night?!
Did you greet your mother?
I wanted to see you, then...
You should go greet your mother first and come back.
Child.
Please see me.
I just got scolded by Her Highness.
Is Her Highness rushing the deed?
She is not an ordinary person.
Don't just stare as if staring at the fire from across the river.
How long has it been since the previous king went to the Changdeok Palace?
Is this time to discuss such?!
You! Are you doing this to lose all people's heart?!
You should wait outside for a bit.
I have something to say to daughter-in-law.
Are you disappointed?
I asked if you're disappointed!
Yes, Mother-In-Law.
Disappointed?
If you have something to feel disappointed about, then couldn't you just scold me, Mother-In-Law?
At least you know that well.
If you have something to say, then say the rest.
Isn't it enough with all the scolding you've been giving me, Mother-In-Law?
You still haven't come to your senses!
Mother-In-Law.
How dare you come closer?
Please don't be mad anymore.
What?
You're trying to correct my behavior, so you're doing this on purpose. Right Mother?
Isn't that right, Mother?
Uh huh, why do you keep...
Ay, Mother-In-Law. I'll never do that again.
Seriously, this child...
I so miss hearing you nagging.
You must feel good, since you don't have to see tise Mother-In-Law. You even hold the key of the house,
and you're sitting in the main chamber...
Don't you feel sorry for Prince Dowon?
He doesn't even walk around with his head up, since he feels embarrassed nowadays.
Since he is the only one who resides outside, even when his whole family went into the palace
how would he feel about that, Mother-In-Law?
Can't you just let us live inside the palace? Please Mother?
Sit a bit away from me!
Ah Mother!
But this child!
I told you sit a bit away from me!
Ay Mother-In-Law!
Are you saying that your mother is no longer mad?
Yes, Your Majesty.
That's great.
Your Majesty, the second officer has arrived.
I'll go outside then.
Just be seated.
Tell him to come in.
Just sit down.
You should receive the bow, Your Majesty.
Your whole body smells like blood?
So you've heard that conversation, Your Majesty?
I told him to be seated, since he is just like you.
You should try playing the horn once again. It smells like blood, you say?
Your Majesty, Dangtaejong killed his brothers,
and he basically stole the throne from his father. However, in the history of China
was there another incident like that?
Dangtaejong calmed down the turmoil with his empathy.
That's why all those who were thinking any less of him finally let down their guards.
Then are you saying that I should let Hae Bin and her sons live?
What kind of power do they have? If Your Majesty takes them into the heart
and forgives everything,
then they'll finally realize your generosity.
I'm fine with that; however, would that work in the current politics?
Whether you succeed or not you must do it.
How about the previous king at Changdeok Place?
Wolnam came to me and said that only if we get rid of the previous king,
then His Majesty's seat will be secured forever. He's been raising his blood vessels like that.
Be careful what you say. Blood vessels?
Nevertheless, wouldn't that become the second war if that happens?
How dare you, comparing whom to where?
It's certain that you'll get dirty water on you, when you jump into a muddy pothole.
Your Majesty.
Whenever this humble servant looks back to the time of the coup,
there's one thing that I regret.
Your situation is so lonley. That is why I could'nt avoid using extreme measures.
I regret if there may have been another way, when I think about it now.
Of course, it wouldn't have been easy,
but if Your Majesty had been waiting patiently for a bit longer,
then there may have been another war directed by Kim Jong Seo and Prince Anpyung.
Consequently, the county would've gone into turmoil and people would've been facing even more hardship,
then Your Majesty would've been able to get to the throne without dropping one drop of blood.
That's why this humble servant's chest is hurting and feeling frustrated.
Since I let Your Majesty carry the bloody baggage,
I feel regretful and my chest hurts.
Your Majesty, what good will it do by killing the bird with broken wings?
You should let the bird on the palm of your great hand,
and show empathy for the broken wings and take it into your heart. Wouldn't that be the right thing to do?
That's when the people won't be afraid of you anymore.
Today, you came here...
to get killed in this place.
Don't even show yourself for a while.
Your Majesty.
Why are you staying like that? Should I rather cut off your head?!
Get inside, Prime Minister.
You heard it right? Where his desires are?
Ah, I feel relieved!
Please see me, brother!
What is Hamgyung do's Jeoljesa?
What are you saying?
They've taken over all the good seats, and why am I given this rank for them to store me in the Hamgyung region?
They probably want you to go there and correct your behavior.
I don't want to.
If you don't, then forget it.
Let go off me, you fool! Let go!Let go off me before my arm breaks!
Let me become the Minister of War.
So the country will collapse?
You're at least the second-ranked officer and about to sit on the money pillow.
You're so hopeless.
What did everyone else do to deserve their ranks?
Have you gone crazy? I'm feeling regret because of fools like you!
I won't go to the Hamgyung region. Just know that!
Ay!
Please begin speaking, Prime Minister.
You came in to speak to me, right?
You're saying to kill Prince Guemsung, Hae Bin, etc.,
and get rid of the previous ing, right?
Yes, that's the case, Your Majesty.
However,
you don't have to achieve more merits.
I didn't give you the seat of Prime Minister for you to do this.
My apolo...
Please go back then.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Did you receive the permission?
I am...hum...
came out without even saying a word.
Prime Minister!
Ah, then you get inside!
Since he is managing people well, I couldn't even open my mouth and
got kicked out.
How did you see Hanmyung?
Tell me as you saw.
- I am..- Hanmyung is
the royal servant who sincerely worries about me.
He is not the kind who says those things to get a better rank.
In his heart, he will do something no matter what for this country,
that kind of pledge resides.
He is trying to accomplish that through me.
Strive after virtue. He said so because It is pitiful
Hanmyung probably knows that's impossible.
I'll feel uneasy for the rest of my life
trying to protect this seat.
I'll probably die feeling that... full of regrets.
Finally, why did I try to become the King...
what was I trying to do,
not even remembering those things and die.
Father.
It's in your hands.
I'll do it, so you won't have to carry on my baggage.
When you sit on the throne after me,
then please raise the virtue and be the generous king who gives.
You can do it, too.
Leave me then.
Don't you forget what you've learned today.
Father...
You can't be fooled by my tears.
Father..
Father!

Are you feeling ill anywhere?
Give it to me. What kind of command is it?
Ah, it is the command that His Majesty sent out early this morning,
but I had forgotten about this for a moment...
Congratulations, Left Minister.
Is there anything to laugh about in these days?
In the first year of Sejo, the official command regarding
Prince Dowon to become the Grand Prince was announced.
In addition, they announced Dowon's wife, Han(last name) to become the Grand Princess,
however,
the official welcome letter to the Grand Princess was as follows:
Grand prince is root of the country
of cause he need to have a good mate
He will succeed the important mission with her.
The 'Han' is very flourish and an influential family.
As famous family that manners could be an early partner can she was engaged.
She is meek and warm and favor.
That is why she is to be a Grand princess by command.
She needs more make an effort for beautiful experience and knowledge.
Respect her.
Please give a little bit more push, Your Highness.
Your Highness, a little bit more!
The same year's winter, Han, who became the Grand Princess gave birth to a her first daughter,
Princess Myung Soo in the future.
In May of the following year, a command regarding concubine selection for Grand Prince was announced.
Since all the Court Ladies are in the king's hands,
selecting the Grand Prince's concubine separately
and getting her separated from others was the royal tradition.
Wife.
Please raise your chin.
What can we do, since that is the rule of palace?
Do you think mother is doing this because she's not fond of you?
Since the rule of palace is like that...
I didn't say anything.
Listen what I have to say.
What's so pretty about me that you want to hold my hand?
I only have you, wife.
Do you think my hands are as pretty and soft as young miss, since I gave birth to two children?
Why are you like this, seriously?
I'll promise.
Even if get a concubine, I won't even look at her face.
Are you certain?
Don't you know my personality?
I'm not someone who cares about looks.
Who cares about looks since birth, but while living...
I told you that I'm not like that.
There is a saying that says: even if ten girls arrive, there's no one guy who doesn't like it.
I'm not jealous.
It's not that.
Then what?
It seems that you haven't changed a bit.
Like you said, the one who gave birth to two children..
It's not like that, Your Highness.
Please let go off me. People may watch from outside.
It's not like that...
Please say it.
If concubine gives birth to a son, then..
Daughter will be all right then?
Isn't it true?
Since I only have one son, so if something goes wrong...
What is that to worry about?
It is worry.
We can just get another child then.
Did you play with me until now?
That's because you're the prettiest when you're like this.
Really?
What on earth...
A year has passed since Prince Sooyang took over throne,
and another strong, bloody wind was approaching.
Who is the traitor?
Can't you say it already?
Confess it!
Burn them more!
Can't you say it already!
His Majesty is arriving!
Since I found you to be smart,
I let you be my side and discussed politics with you!
However, you neglected that favor,
and tried to kill me, the king?!
I didn't tried to kill the king.
To me there's only the previous king who resides at the Changdeok Palace,
so I just tried to kill the traitors.
You rascal!
How dare you insult the king that way?!
Send this message: I was going to kill you,
so I could relieve Munjong The Great's guilt.
Rip their mouths,
so they can't no longer say such nonsense!
Hurry up and begin!
Yes!
Your Highness!
Your Highness! Come to your senses!
Your Highness!
Your Highness! Yours Highness...
You rascal, Sooyang!
Aren't you afraid of the heaven?!
As the sky only has one sun, there's only one king!
You rascal! You'll get punished a thousand times!
Stop!
While you're receiving and eating because of me,
by bringing out the ridiculous reasons to reinstate the previous king
and trying to kill me?!
I'll find all who plotted treason,
not even leaving one,
and ask for their sins!
Look at them carefully!
Do you think they plotted the deed by themselves?!
There'll be a numerous people
who's related to this deed!
I'll catch them all,
and definitely find out
who is behind the deed.
The Grand Prince fainted?
What are you saying?
Why aren't you answering?!
Did his pulse return?
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Can you recognize me?
Your Highness.
Why are you tearing?
The Grand Prince is well, you said?
Yes, Your Highness.
His vain was blocked momentarily and fainted. That's all.
So he doesn't have any illness?
No, Your Highness.
He will be just fine after resting a bit.
Since he's that weak...
Where are you going?
I must get to Changdeok Palace.
Where are you trying to go? You can't even control your body.
I must get to Changdeok Palace!
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Your Highness!
There is no one who can protect His Majesty.
There's only me...
Your Majesty!
Father, how are things turning?
Please tell me the truth.
Sun Sam Moon and other scholars from the royal research facility got together,
and the plot of killing Sooyang became known, they say.
Then, the arrow may turn towards His Majesty.
That's the case, Your Highness.
Don't worry.
Nevertheless, something that should have arrived came.
Your Majesty.
If... there's a way to reach Sung Sam Moon,
then tell him to give me the fault.
Your Majesty, you must tell them that you don't know anything,
no matter what.
They'll try anything to drag you in...
Just tell him to say it's my fault.
Since that's the answer Prince Sooyang wants.
If it doesn't turn out like that, then they'll all receive harsh torturing.
Your Majesty...
I don't even have a desire to live anymore.
Now or then, to face this kind of day,
living with this kind of fear...
I cannot endure it any longer.
Your Majesty...
Do you really think the previous king tried to kill your father?
That's probably how they'll plot the deed.
Who would believe that?
So many people have died since then.
Did they all die because they have committed deadly sins?
During the coup, they killed Kim Jong Seo and Prince Anpyung.
When father took over the throne, they killed Hae Bin, Um Ja Chi, Prince Hannam and Prince Youngpum.
And this time...
they're capturing the royal research scholars.
Father-In-Law will...
He'll probably say it can't be helped.
Authority must be held by a person with power, hence the people of the country will be comfortable.
I can't see the end.
As father's destiny, it will last without an end.
I must get to the Changdeok Palace.
The previous king will be waiting for me.
This will be the last time.
What did you say?
It could have ended with only one dying.
As the heaven only has one sun, there cannot be two owners for the throne.
Seriously, wife...
you're a scary person!
Husband, why would I not pity the previous king?
I also feel bad and pity him as you do,
so even my throat gets blocked many times.
Nevertheless, if we can't stop killing as long as he is alive,
then we must put this to an end.
Father has all the authority.
What power does the previous king in Changdeok Palace have, so he'll go against father?
It's a cruel thing to ask the previous king for his life!
As long as the previous king is alive, Father-In-Law's position is like a house built on sand.
No matter how much rebuilding, it will collapse eventually,
like an insignificant house.
Husband, this is something that your father started.
Since your father started this, make him finish it.
Please...please don't get involved.
It's not something that you can block, nor it is something that you should block.
Are you saying that I should inherit father's bloody position?
Someone has to wash the bloody position clean.
That is the deed that you must do.
Your Highness.
You're very good at speaking.
Since you can sound so believable,
I always get fooled.
However..
not this time.
I can't be fooled any more.
Then will you go against your father once again?
Are you not going to regret it, even if you lose everything?
I asked, if you'll be fine losing me and our children?
If I say that will be fine...
then what would you do?
Then...
would you throw me away?
Husband.
Will you do that?
If that's the case,
then I must follow it.
If you feel that strongly about it,
then I must follow the path that you want me to follow.
I don't know either...
what I should do.
I don't know either..
Come closer.
I said, come closer.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Who said that he was the leader while meeting with Sung Sam Moon?
You! Tell him everything you know.
He is asking if you received a secret command from Changdeok Palace.
You were fine when you were confessing about Sung Sam Moon,
yet suddenly you became mute! How come you don't open the mouth?!
Your Majesty, according to what I heard from Sawi..
I am asking him right now!
Sung Sam Moon's father, Sung Seung and Yoo Eung Bu
used the king as an excuse to cut my neck,
and tried to put the previous king on my seat.Didn't you already confess that?
That is the case, Your Majesty.
When you succeed with that deed,
then you're going to make Sung Chang Song the Prime Minister...
Your Majesty, I'm innocent from this deed. The reason they may bringing up my name would be...
That's why I'm asking!
Gon Ja Shin often has been in and out of Changdeok Palace,
and he's been in close relation to Sung Sam Moon.
So wouldn't the previous king have known about this?
Hurry up and tell the truth.
I'm sorry for saying this. Although I haven't heard directly from Gon Ja Shin,
Sung Sam Moon has...the previous king's...
secret command, I once heard.
The previous king has a secret command?
Yes, Your Majesty!
Of course! That's why Sung Seung and Yu Eun Bu
tried to strike my neck! Tell this to the Department of investigation.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Catch and bring in all who Kim Jill confessed about,
and find the secret command that is from the Changdeok Palace!
Yes, Your Majesty.
You should've done it correctly, King's Advisor Lord.
Since you have such a great Son-In-Law, you were almost going to the palace of dragon.
What are you hesitating about? You better tell him now!
Since the speech doesn't come out so easily...
"I received the secret command by the previous king and tried to kill His Majesty."
you could've just said that one sentence! You're being careful?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Ambitious Team @ Viki
We need to finish it this time.
As long as the previous king is alive,
treason won't stop.
You should stop now.
Are you saying that I should let Sung Sam Moon live?!
I meant Changdeok Palace...
Even though you might feel uncomfortable knowing that the previous king is alive,
you still have the power to carry on that kind of baggage.
Until when?!
There aisto much to lose for killing.
The little child of Changdeok is constantly plotting treason.
There will always be people who will try to kill me, as long as that child is alive!
Are you saying that I should still be patient?!
It's too late for you to get compliments while you're alive, Your Majesty.
They may compromise for now, if you build more virtue.
However, if you kill the previous king, then Your Majesty
won't be able to even receive the forgiveness from Buddha.
You wretch!
Don't ever appear in front of me. I won't let you live if you do!
Although I understand your loyalty,
if you keep doing that you'll receive misconception.
You're...watching the Grand Prince's move, they'll say.
Watching the Grand Prince's move?
Isn't that true?
Since the Grand Prince is taking the previous king's side, so to prepare for the future...
You! Are you thinking of me that way as well?!
Then, what's the reason for you to stake your life and go against His Majesty?
Tell me!
Do you want His Majesty to become the tyrant?
That may be more comfortable.
Since you'll be able to control as you wish, as His Majesty commits more sins.
The one who said to kill everyone...
was you!
Where did you hide the previous king's secret command?
Can't you tell the truth?!
I don't know.
Everything was done because I ordered them to...
His Majesty's secret command? Why would there be something like that?!
Father!
I'm proud of you, son! Since I couldn't strike Sooyang's neck,
I'm too ashamed to see you.
Father...
The harsh torturing for the ones who were fighting to reinstate Danjong
continued on for more than a week.
Nevertheless, nobody's mouth confessed
Danjong's name.
Sung Sam Moon, Park Pang Nyun, Lee Gae, Ha Wi Ji,
Yu Sung Won, Yu Eun Gu,
they were known as "Sa Yuk Shin Gwa."
Including Sung Seung, Kim Moon Gi, etc.
received the death sentence,"hacked to pieces."
Brother, are you standing there?
You're hiding behind that door
and watching me?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Ambitious Team @ Viki
I was trying to kill the young nephew.
The nephew must be killed, so this seat is comfortable!
I heard that Grand Prince's illness is quite serious.
You better not face His Majesty for a while.
This is not something that will end until we remove the previous king.
Let's meet again for sure, wife.
Didn't you hear? Escort the previous king immediately.
Wife! Hold on to my hand!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
- You must take care of it, Your Majesty.- I've become someone who you're no longer fond of, wife.
Grand Prince isn't the problem. Grand Princess is the problem.
Did you come to see me, so you can buy my royalty beforehand?
If you want to stake that, you should stake the Grand Prince.
Please take care of my son.
That's how my son will become helpful.
No one says that the newborn should inherit the seat.
Father, I gave birth to a son once again!
Your Highness.
Repeat after me.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
