Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Receive the royal command of killing Han Myung Hae, etc. Especially, we can't let Soobin be alive.
How could His Majesty go so far as to say to put his daughter-in-law to death?
Long life! Long life!
Please become the healthiest King.
I have no right to die while lying down.
Royal Father!
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!
Let Han Myung Hae be in charge of the temporary authority?!
It is Soobin's scheme.
Queen Insoo~Episode 31~
What business bring you here?
What do you mean what business? Don't you know by looking?!
Can't you see we have come to pay our respects?
All of you cannot enter now.
We can't go in?
Who are blocking us from paying respects?!
There is royal commad of not letting any one to pay his respect until they've chosen the one for the temporary authority.
Huh-huh! What kind of wretch is this?!Do you even know who we are?
We're the comrades who fought our lives together with the Previous King! Let's get inside.
Can't you step away, you wretches!
- Would you like to go at it with me? - Stop that.
We shouldn't make a such commotion at His Majesty's memorial hall.
How can you even say that? How disappointed would he feel?
Since us royal subjects, who are basically in the same body, haven't even paid respects!
Your Majesty!
Please take me with you, too!
Your Majesty!
If you are going to abandon us like this,
what ought we to do?
Your Majesty!
Blocking them from paying respects? For what?!
King, what kind of humiliation is this?
Queen Dowager, after you put the one in charge of the temporary authority...
Didn't the King already let Han Myung Hae and Shin Suk Joo to be in charge of that?
You cannot do that, Your Highness.
The Prime Minister should, of course, be charge of that.
What is so important about the temporary authority?
The political affairs will be in the hands of temporary authority until the late King's 3 year mourningl.
What are you doing?
Even His Majesty cannot oversee the political affairs during the mourning.
In this country, the initial law is to respect the parents,
so it will become disrespectful.
This means we don't know what will happen depending on what Han Myung Hae decides, Your Highness.
Is that so?
Mother, I am...
I didn't think that far ahead, since I'm not educated.
If the situations turns like that, then we should try think differently about it.
All royal subjects came over at once?
I blocked them, so not even one could get inside.
Mark my words. If we get the temporary authority taken away from those old people, then we will all die.
Mother, Prince Guisun
and Namyi will trust their young intuition to make a big deal.
In order to make father's funeral to be majestic, we must let Sangdan to be in charge of the temporary authority.
Han Myung Hae is Soobin's person.
Have you forgotten?
Soobin is the one who asked father about passing on the throne to me.
She probably had ulterior motive.
The only blood-related relative left for me are mother, Soobin, Prince Wolsan and Prince Chasan.
If you put a distance between you and Soobin, then I will become forlorn.
Soobin is the one who is after your seat. You should know that!
Is there no method?
I'm not sure, since the Queen Dowager hates Soobin so much...
No matter how, we must have the Queen Dowager and Soobin to reconcile.
I understand. I will try to do whatever I can.
- Your Highness, I am Han Chi Young.
Come inside.
Please get inside.
Did you bring a guest?
Yes.
His Majesty's uncle from his maternal side, Lord Yoon Sa boon is here.
Come inside.
I was steeping the tea for the late King.
Ye..yes.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Ambitious Team @ Viki
The late King used to enjoy the tea that I gave him.
Yes, I have heard about that quite a bit.
Since I can't go to father-in-law's chamber,
I've been substituting my disappointing thought to preparing the tea for him like this.
Ah yes.
Sit down.
Ah yes, Your Highness.
You helped preparing for the coup in this room, right?
This is the historical place.
How is the Queen Dowager doing? Her sadness must be great.
That can't be said with the words.
Since she has lots of human sentiment...
Please drink it.
Yes.
I've heard it quite often,
but this is the first time we meet this closely.
Is that so?
Well, Your Highness..
Did you get here because of the temporary authority?
But...how did you know?
When the one Queen Dowager admires the most
come to visit me in the middle of the night, then what other reason is there but that?
Oh...
You predicted this in advance...so I'm quite comfortable talking about this.
Isn't this the deciding fate for the funeral?
What should I help with?
Should I go see my mother-in-law and beg?
No...no, what are you saying? Beg?
Your Highness, you're probably guessing the same,
but Queen Dowager is going back and forth about who should be in charge of the temporary authority.
If letting Prince Guisun be in charge, then the royal subjects might turn their backs,
and if letting Han Myung Hae and Shin Suk Joo,
then Your Highness is...
I'm not sure how you two became in that kind of relationship,
but as long as you don't untie this relationship, the late King's funeral is one thing,
but the current King's future won't even be safe.
Your Highness, untie the misunderstanding between you two...
isn't there any way?
Gyul Ja Hae Ji, they said. If you untie this,
then the Queen Dowager will also make Han Myung Hae be in charge of the temporary authority.
What would be difficult?
I will enter the palace immediately tomorrow and untie the knot.
Thank you!
Since you're coming out freshly like this,
I feel like ten years' indigestion is going down!
Aigo...
Hyungnim!
Let's just flip it once more time!
We only need to catch Nam Yi and Prince Guisun, right?
Let's do that.
What power do you two have?
I can still handle three or four
down with one sword. I still have that kind of power left!
Are you going to dye late King's chamber with blood?
You're so narrow-minded...
Aren't we same as dead if Prince Guisun becomes in charge of the temporary authority?
Soobin has entered the palace.
Why would Soobin enter the palace for?
Since she went towards Gyo Tae Jun, she probably entered to see the Queen Dowager, no?
What talent does Soobin have to remove the dragon?
Since the Queen Dowager is totally fond of Nam Yi and Prince Guisun...
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Ambitious Team @ Viki
If you came to discuss about the temporary authority, then don't say anything.
I decided on Prince Guisun.
Did you?
Right.
You did well.
What will matter who will be on charge of the temporary authority?
Are you making fun of me for being uneducated?
How could I, mother-in-law?
Do you think I don't know your true intention? You are trying to put Han Myung Hae on that seat,
and taking over the total control over politics, right?
- Mother-in-law...- During the mourning, the one with the temporary authority
will become the chief of the politics. Do you think I don't know that?
It's too bad. The Mother-in-law who hasn't even mastered the Korean language
knows about all kinds of things.
Why would she say such things?
Return.
Then, during the mourning you know that the current King cannot be overseeing the politics
you know well about that, right?
He cannot oversee the politics?
Since the current King is in the middle of mourning, overseeing the politics will be considered as being disobedient to the parents.
Hence why we can't let Han Myung Hae be in charge of the temporary authority.
The owner of the palace is you.
You must take control of this country before the current King is done with mourning period.
What are you talking about?
The current King has to submit to the throne, and the temporary authority must be helped by the current King
and focus on having the grand funeral for the late King.
Hence you should write the nae-ji, then
overseeing the politics.
Nae-ji?
The one that's written by the King is called Gyo-ji,
and the one you write as a suggestion is called Nae-ji.
I'm not sure what you're saying...
This country is in your hands, so what are you worried about?
What do you I know about that?
I'm leaving then.
You should leave after we're done having the conversation!
The future of the confucian shrine is in your hands.
Thank you, Your Highness. You spoke
so well.
Did you tell the Queen Dowager to
When you become in charge of the temporary authority, then you have an urgent duty to accomplish.
Cut off Prince Guisun's hands and feet.
You don't understand what I'm saying?
The military power is still in hands of Nam Yi.
What was the meaning of what my daughter-in-law said?
She meant the whole country is in your hands, Your Highness.
Is that politically correct?
That can easily be created.
So, what Soobin said was like this:
If you make Han Myung Hae in charge of the temporary authority,
then Soobin and the all the royal subject will follow you, your Highness.
Am I being fooled by my daughter-in-law's scheme or...
Aigoo, just let Soobin sit next to you.
Whatever you don't know will be taken care about Soobin.
I knew it! You're telling me to become Soobin's puppet!
I can just watch her next to her then.
If you write the Nae-ji,
then I will scrutinize it before I pass on.
What can Soobin possibly do then?
I am the owner of the palace?
Exactly what she was saying!
Han Myung Hae became in charege of the temporary authority.
Of course that seat should have gone to Prince Guisun, who was the Chief Prime Minister.
However, the seat went to Han Myung Hae.
Since the Queen Dowager is being so eager...
What would I do inside the palace? For the Queen Dowager, I already told her what to do,
so she will probably do well on her own.
I'm sorry to say this...
but everyone is happy that you two have reconciled.
Hence how about entering the palace often to help the Queen Dowager?
I'll just be her burden, if I'm next to her.
That's not true.
The Queen Dowager has built a mountain full of...
Royal Secretary, is that so urgent that must you have to decide today?
Other things are fine, but I need to fill the rest in
the temporary authority...
You could just discuss that with Lord Sangdan when it comes to those kind of things?
I'm sorry to say this, but when it comes to the political matter
it must be done according to your Nae-ji.
Please hurry, Your Highness.
Royal Secretary, come back again tomorrow?
Queen Dowager, are you ill somewhere?
Of course I'm not feeling well. Do you thing I'm in my right mind?
How long ago did the late King pass away?
Royal Secretary, you're so ruthless.
What are you saying?
The Queen Dowager doesn't...
If she doesn't know how to read, then she can just stamp...
Uh huh!
Why are you like this?
When did she say she will enter?
Bring Soobin immediately!
Are you deaf?!
Your Highness, Court Lady Park came from the palace.
Your Highness, what should I do?
Tell her that I'll enter the palace tomorrow.
Your Highness, the Queen Dowager says...
Just return with knowing that.
Is the Queen Dowager really wants to meet
our Highness?
Of course she is. The Queen Dowager
cannot read, so what could she do?
I knew it!
Let's go.
Your Highness, the Queen Dowager must be desperate.
She only knows the basic language.
The rumor has been also spreading in the palace, they say.
Bring the wife of the Prince Gaeyang early tomorrow morning.
What are you going to do with her?
She will enter the palace tomorrow?
Yes, Your Highness.
Why not today?
That was the only thing she said.
I shouldn't have taken over this duty!
For how long are you planning on staying in the palace?
It'll probably take 3-4 months.
That long?
How would you withstand her fickleness?
well, of course you can make sure she doesn't fickle
right next to her.
You should take over the this household for a while.
Let's do that.
But how did you convince the Queen Dowager?
Wouldn't she have gone to the west if you said let's go to the east?
My second daughter-in-law is my worry.
You mean Prince Chasan's wife?
She is so fragile...
You could just send her to her house to get healthier.
Prince Chasan is already 12 this year.
Did he already become that?
Now that I see it, he is already in the age of having a child.
Anyway, I'm not sure if they got the good couple's fortune.
I brought a palace servant from the palace.
Song Yi, you mean?
That child raised Prince Chasan on her back.
I know that very well.
I'm thinking of letting her serve Prince Chasan.
Right! You could just make her the Middle daughter-in-law then.
Middle daughter-in-law?
A family with rare children, to a 6-7-year-old
is given a fully grown girl. There is such a custom.
As a servant, as a bride,
and as a secondary one.
I'm saying all kinds of embarrassing things!
Are you really thinking of doing that, Your Highness?
She hasn't done it today either?
Just wait for a moment.
Are you still not done?
Why are you putting that aside?
There are urgent and non-urgent matter when it comes to royal decree.
Probably.
It can't be rushed because it's urgent,
nor can it be pushed back if it isn't urgent.
Sometimes more urgent ones must be pushed back.
Why is that?
Those who control this are clever, so they're plotting less urgent matter more urgent
and what they really want to obtain they'll put it as leisurely as possible.
How could you separate all that?
You'll know it gradually.
What can I do with learning that? I'm just going to quit after doing this for just few months.
Mother-In-Law, there are still 3 years left until we're done mourning for the previous King.
Will that be all? If something bad happens in the palace,
then you must be in charge of the politics like today.
If I knew about this, then I should have learned the language prior to this.
Is the royal secretary outside?
Yes, Your Highness.
- Bring him these.- Yes.
From now on, tell him to wait at the Sueng Jun Won.
Royal decrees will be passed through Seung Jun Won from now on.
Is Soobin inside?
Henceforth, we'll deliver these through Seung Jun Won...
I heard it, too. Soobin raised her voice, so that I will hear it, right?
Right.
She wanted you to hear it?
Isn't that so? Suddenly Soobin raised her voice to be on top of the Queen Dowager...
The ones who should know already know about this.
She is truly amazing.
Gyung Sa Bok Jang? Prime Minister, how could this be?
I used to be the Minister of War. Gyung Sa Bok Jang?!
Are they trying to cut off our power by demoting me?!
Please make a decision. Are you going to just sit and die or before it's too late...
After the mourning period.
That'll be too late. We'll all be dead by then.
All right then. I will even try by myself.
It's wrong. Everything is wrong.
Prince Guisun is too careful.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Ambitious Team @ Viki
Are you leaving the palace?
I am Minister of War, Yoo Ja Gwang.
Of course I know you.
I have something to tell you.
Here?
I will visit your house.
Do that.
Yoo Ja Gwang, Seoul-born and eventually became a warrior. Then, after passing the national entrance exam with a perfect score
he rose up to be on the path to become a politician.
When his path was blocked by his weakness in his background,
he got involved in whatever it took for him to success.
Later date when Gap Ja Sa got covered in blood
was Yoo Ja Gwang's deed, of course.
I am hungry, since I've been sitting down all day.
You should eat, too.
Who told you to put the meat on the Queen Dowager's table?!
How could you do this to the Queen Dowager?
I'm sorry, but we're worry about the Queen Dowager's body,
so we've been serving her the meat little by little.
How dare you trying to defend yourself?
Should I take the table and bring in the lighter meal, Your Highness?
Not one of you can even think properly...
I told them many times
not to serve me the side dish meat.
You should eat just little bit, Mother-In-Law.
I'm thinking of serving her meat a little bit at a time while she gets her dinner.
I am all right.
Your Highness, according to the law, you cannot eat the meat until the mourning period is over.
Who doesn't know that?!
However, if you only keep eating the vegetables, then your body will become fragile.
I'll personally prepare Her Highness' dinner in the kitchen,
so know that.
Yes, Your Highness.
You must feel tiresome from now on.
My point exactly.
I'm already tired of serving the Queen Dowager, but now I've gained another "mother-in-law."
You should just pretend to be dead and watch.
Isn't it fun?
Soobin is holding the Queen Dowager by her hand and controlling her.
Please endure and eat this, Mother-In-Law. When I serve you the dinner...
Do you think I've gone mad over some meat?!
What kind of non-senses is this? Sending the daughter-in-law to her parents' house twice?
Just endure it, Hyungnim.
What kind of wealthy house was she even born in?
How could she playing with people like this?
This is actually good thing.
Good thing?
We got an opportunity to give her all the healthy food,
so she can bear a son to Soobin.
She'll probably have one when it's time!
She is already over the age.
How dare you making fun of?
What kind of baby husband can make a baby?!
I'll have to make the life-or-death decision with the Lord.
Where are you going?
My Lord! My Lord!
MY Lord, please come outside!
See me, my Lord!
Soobin kicked out our daughter again!
Are you just going to sit and watch, my Lord?!
Uh huh..my wife!
Why are you like this, Hyungnim?
You wench! You're the wench who used to be a giseng!
Soobin is making fun of me, since you're calling me hyungnim, you wench!
Don't you know Soobin has entered the palace?
What would happen if Soobin hears you saying all this?
- Just follow me.-Aigoo!
I will see her in person to firmly discuss about this matter.
Why are you being so loud? You can't even say a word in front of Soobin.
Please come this way.
Can't say a word? Can't say a word?!
Oh I got it!
I'm living to experience such!
Drink it.
Don't have a memorial service in front of a drink.
Please let me live, Lord Sangdan.
What deadly sin did you commit?
This humble servant is So-Chool.
It's all right, as long as you passed the national entrance exam with the highest score.
The world hasn't recognized that.
Gyungdeuk Palace's lower-level officer, Han Myung Hae
even became the Prime Minister, so what's the big deal?
Of course people have been whispering behind my back.
Even though I've built merits, I feel guilty...
so I've committed a sin.
What sin did you commit?
Why are you telling me to spare your life after committing a sin?
You should tell me, so I can kill you or let you live or whatever.
What is it?
The one you want to catch is Nam Yi, right?
Try read it.
This is written by Nam Yi?
It is, Lord Sangdan.
What should I do with this?
Why don't you read it carefully one more time.
Reciting what is written.
I don't understand it no matter how much I look at this.
What's wrong with Nam Yi's northern territory?
"The Baektu Mountain's stone should get vanished by sharpening the sword,
and Dooman river's water should get vanished by feeding it to the horses.
So if a twenty-year-old man cannot control the country,
then how could future people call him a great man?"
Good!
You still don't get it?
Do you get it now?
Should I make your bed ready, Your Highness?
Don't you feel sleepy, Your Highness?
I guess Soobin forgot to bring the nightcap.
If you're hungry, then I will...
What my daughter-in-law said was right.
The late King is still lying in the palace, and side dish meat?
Everybody has been doing that, Your Highness.
Then I cannot win over the daughter-in-law.
She wants to sit on top of my head one more time?
There is no bigger room besides Queen Dowager's room in the Gyo Tae section of the palace.
Should I move you to a bigger room?
It's all right.
I'll make your bed ready.
Where is Court Lady Choi?
Make Court Lady Choi, who used to serve me at my house, serve me.
- I'm sorry to say this, but Court Lady Choi is...- Did she get ill or something?
It is not that.
Report it immediately!
I'm sorry.
It's kind of hard to say...
You wretches! Bring the alcohol! I told you to bring the alcohol, you wretches!
Bring the alcohol, you wretches!
I can't live sober, so bring the alcohol, you wretches!
If not, then kill me instead!
You wretches!!
What should I do, Elder Sangsun?
I told you to put a rock in her mouth if she makes such a commotion!
I released her since she was just sitting quietly the entire day.
Sure, you wretches!
If you don't bring the alcohol, then I'll bite my tongue and die!
She has become an alcoholic!
Tie her up!
You wretch! You wretch!
Come here!
You wench! How dare you bite me?!
- You wretch!- What are you doing? Tie her up quickly!
You wretch!
You Wretch!
She is resenting me?
Hence why I'm saying that she has gone mad.
Court Lady Choi has been indebted Your Highness so much,
so does this even make sense?
Your Highness, just forget about her.
His Majesty has built a tent in front of the main hall,
and spends the night. Is that true?
Yes.
In this cold weather...
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Ambitious Team @ Viki
The bed is ready.
You don't feel sleepy?
You probably don't feel sleepy thinking about your wife?
I miss my mother.That's why.
It hasn't even been one day since she left for the palace.
You already miss her?
Mother is working so hard like that, since she is worried about hyungnim and me.
However, I don't have anything to offer her...
You know all that?
Do you think I don't have ears or eyes?
I'm so proud of you.
How happy would she feel when Her Highness hears this?
Don't worry. Her Highness will definitely protect you, Prince Chasan.
I'm so worried about my mother, and you're laughing?
I thought about the old days.
You used to bring your pillow into my room when you got afraid at night.
That's because I was afraid of sleeping alone.
I will make you fall asleep.
Don't worry. I can sleep without being afraid.
Don't you lie. You're outside, since you're afraid of sleeping alone.
I am all right, I said.
Please get in.
You're saying they went into the room together?
Yes.
It went well. Song Yi is pretty smart, so she will do well.
I don't get it.
What?
What if Prince Chasan gets fond of Song Yi?
It'll be better if that's the case.
Pardon? What are you saying?
Prince Chasan got married too young,
so he doesn't know how to handle the wife, so we're trying to teach him that.
Then I feel pity for Song Yi.
Why are you pity her? She will gain a lot becasue of that.
Her life will be ruined like that.
Don't you worry.
Song Yi!
I'm here.
I thought you weren't here.
You can't go somewhere.
Yes, don't worry.
But why are you sitting over there?
Why don't you come closer?
I should guard the door, so no ghost will enter.
Gho..gho..ghost?
I'm just kidding. Just go to sleep.
I can't do this. I better leave the light on.
You used to read all night even when there were thunder and lightening.
Why are you so afraid?
I pretended to not being afraid, so that mother won't get disappointed.
I said put the light on and sleep.
Should I make you fall asleep?
Right, I can sleep like this.
It's refreshing.
Are you hungry?
What is this?
I fried some while the servants were out of the kitchen.
I was so worried about the smell of frying meat
leaving outside.
- Really?- Hurry up and try them.
It's tasty.
Why don't you try some, too?
I've eaten some on my way over here.
Anyway, we're about to get more headaches due to Soobin.
They said, she was yelling, because they had served the meat to the Queen Dowager.
She is probably doing that to control her mother-in-law.
Didn't you say that she can't even move in front of her?
At this point, she is probably regrets summoning her daughter-in-law back to the palace.
Elder Sangsun, you better firmly control Court Lady Choi.
Soobin is looking for Court Lady Choi.
What did you tell her?
That Court Lady Choi has been resenting Soobin.
I told her like that carefully.
Then what?
She didn't say much.
Will she even treat us lower-level peasants like human-beings?
You did well.
That's how you can be the Head Court Lady at the Queen Dowager's for as long as she can. Isn't it?
It's tasty.
Your Highness.
Are you the only ones who are guarding here?
Yes, Your Highness.
How about His Majesty?
He is inside.
Why are you the only eunuchs on guard? What if this gets attacked?
There has been been a royal command about not to disturb.
Even if so.

Sister-In-Law,
I didn't know you were there.
Just cry as much as you need to.
What is there to feel embarrassed about?
Yes, Sister-In-Law.
Why did you build this shrine in this cold winter?
I must do all my duty as a child.
Your Majesty is the one who must protect this country's lineage.
Hence why your body cannot be harmed.
Sister-In-law,
Perhaps I cannot live for long.
What are you saying?
My son is barely 3 years old.
That's why I'm thinking of making Prince Wolsan and Prince Chasan as Crown Princes.
Your Majesty..
This family's male offspring is rare, so don't say anything.
I have never once resented Your Majesty.
I just did everything to protect my two sons...
I know it well.
Sister-In-Law, please protect Prince Jae An.
Your Majesty,
The promise we made today must be kept only between us.
Your Majesty!
I'm all right.
Please sit down, Your Majesty.
Hurry.
Is there any one outside?
Yes, Your Highness.
Bring a clean rack and some hot water.
Why are you hesitating?
Yes, Your Highness.
Where are you going, Song Yi?
Are you awake again?
How many times do I have to tell you to sleep next to me?
Hurry up and get in here. Hurry.
Do you like me that much?
I feel most comfortable when I'm with you.
Is that true?
I told you so.

Queen Insoo~Preview~
Soobin washed the King's feet?
This means Soobin has finally bowed to Your Highness.
She has surrendered!
I have a favor to ask.
Soobin has firmly asked.
That you must help Prince Chasan become an adult.
Including Queen Dowager, Prince Jae An and Soobin..
Prince Wolsan and Prince Chasan, we're told to kill all of them!
That I'm suffering from this unknown illness is
the fact that you, mother and Soobin already know about.
The situation is turning critical, Your Highness.
We must get rid of Han Myung Hae first, Your Highness.
Can you trust Hong Yoon Sung?
He is comparing Han Myung Hae with a baby rat.
There is only me!
The ones who are blinded by merits will definitely become your enemy.
The King has given a royal decree.
I will make Prince Wolsan and Prince Chasan to become the Crown Princes.
I'll make it, so that no one can fight for this position anymore.
I've done what I could. What can I do?
We can only let the fate decide.
