My son is
not a young child anymore.
It's not sufficient with one.
Do you know who is the leader in your family?
A leader?
The only daughter that I have is about to get killed...
Aigoo...what should I do?
Choose the daughter of Yoonho and the daughter of Yoon Gi Gyun as the Concubines.
Tell this to that child. "Live as you're worth.
The classy of the classy daughter-in-law
is about to fight with a peasant one.
Since the Queen is vomiting blood,
to whom would that seat go to?
Queen Insoo~Episode 40~Aigoo..aigoo...
You must pull me up.
Aigoo...I feel like dying.
Aigoo...aigoo...
- Aigoo..aigoo..- Mother!
Mother! Mother!
Aigoo...I feel like dying.
Aigoo...please get up quickly.
We must put the curse at the right time.
Aigoo...why put a curse in the middle of the night in the mountain?!
Aigoo...
Aigoo my back. Aigoo my back...
Aigoo..
Here here...let's begin.

Did you have a nightmare again?
The Queen was
standing in front of me while bleeding all over her body.
Are you still dreaming of dream like that? You're all grown up.
Since I've never visited the Queen outside of the Palace,
that's probably why I keep dreaming of dream like that.
Come here, Your Majesty. I will put you to sleep.
I guess the sun is rising. I better get back.
Why are you like that?
Are you already tired of me?
Tired of you?
There are myriad girls in the Palace,
so would you only see me?
What are you saying? I told you that I only have you.
Song Yi.
Don't worry.
I know that someday I won't be able to serve you.
I only know you as the woman.
I do.
Song Yi...
Please stand up then.
Your mother is probably still awake.
From now on, please come just once a month,
so they won't hate me.
Did mother say something?
You should go visit Her Majesty often, too.
How disappointed would she feel, since she is sick and you don't visit her?
I said please get up.
Why are you keep trying to throw me out?
Did you bury it?
No matter what happens, we must make sure that the Queen doesn't return to the Palace.
Don't worry.
You mother probably went up to the mountain Yi Nang on time as well.
His Majesty dreamed of the Queen bleeding while standing.
Even a healthy one would've been dead by now with all that curse we put,
but would Queen with the deadly illness survive?
You cannot rest for a day.
Until the day Queen dies...
Do you understand, mother?
Welcome Hyungnim.
Is His Majesty still giving the greetings?
I guess he is late today.
Really?
It's just what I heard.
They said even a monkey can fall down from a tree...
Your Highness, isn't it quite amusing?
I think you're more funny. What's amusing about that?
Today, the three Highnesses
probably want to receive the morning greeting together.
That turned out well.
It's a relief that the Queen is feeling better.
Since the Queen's chamber was empty, Your Majesty must have been feeling lonely,
you must be happy now.
Yes, grandmother.
We should have a party.
We should.
Please say a word.
What really happened? The Queen who was about to die
came back to the Palace like she is normal.
Exactly...
Did you do it as the shaman said?
I definitely buried it with my hand.
Who is out there?
You wench!
I didn't hear anything, Your Highness.
I told you to stay away from my room.
Tell me who gave you to command to eavesdropping me, before you die in my hand!
Court Lady Park did...
Please let me live, Your Highness.
Since when did you pass my speech to Court Lady Park?
If you tell me correctly, then at least I won't kill you.
I wasn't able to tell her, since what you've said was so scary.
You sinful wench! How dare you lie?
It's true, Court Lady Choi.
If we let her live, then something big will happen.
- Hyang Yi.- Yes, Your Highness.
You know that I can kill or let you live as I please, right?
Yes, Your Highness.
Then do it as I tell you.
If you do it as I say, then I may let you live.
Please tell me, Your Highness.
Bury that beneath the Queen's Palace.
Then I will let you live.
Would you die alone, or would you die with me?
It can't be done. I better kill her now.
I will do it!
If Court Lady Park asks, then tell her like this.
Are you going to trust that wench?
If you ask Eunuch Song, then he will get rid of her without even a mouse or a bird knowing.
Don't make it worse, and just wait and see.
She won't be able to say anything immediately, since I put that much fear in her.
Since the Queen has entered the Palace like a healthy look,
wouldn't everyone be under the Queen's scrutiny? If that happens...
Don't you worry. At least we've got a path to live.
Do you have a method or something?
I can just fulfill Soobin's wish, right?
What wish are you saying?
We should make the the Queen Dowager.
Did you meet Hyang Yi?
What did she say?
After entering the Palace, Her Majesty has been refusing to eat and just has been lying down, they said.
She probably has been. What else?
There has been nothing out of the ordinary other than that, they said.
We must find something, so we can crush that wench.
Anyway, you better be careful.
All the eunuchs and the court ladies are siding with Song Yi.
Really?
She must have bribed them quite a bit with money...
Is that true that all that money is coming from Eunuch Song's pocket?
Yes, Ma'am.
He probably wants to take over the seat of the Head Eunuch.
You! Come here!
Yes, yes, yes, Lord Pasun.
You! How could you do the work like that?
- The Great Queen Dowager is beyond furious! - Pardon?
How shocked would she be, since the Queen, who used to live outside to recover, has returned to give the morning greeting with His Majesty without any notice?!
You should've given her a prior notice when it comes to something like that!
I really didn't know it either..
Tsk tsk tsk, how would you become the Head Eunuch like that?
Aigoo...I'm sorry, Lord Pasun.
This incident must have been plotted by Soobin.
- She will probably surprise her even more often now on.Hence why you!- Yes?
You better properly keep on eye on Soobin's Eunuchs and Court Ladies. Understand?!
Yes, Yes.
Aigoo...ugh!
Due to the ginseng that you've give us,
the Queen was able to sit up.
Would it only be because of the ginseng?
It's because you took good care of the Queen.
It's nonsense...I just...
yelled at her. I didn't do anything.
You've been disappointed because of me, right?
Disappointed?
It's not your fault that the Queen is lacking.
Since you're saying it like that, I am thankful.
From now on, I will not let my daughter-in-law outside of the Palace, no matter what happens.
You should do that.
Every time Her Majesty enters my house, my heart
falls down and things turn dark in front of my eyes...If I continue, then I might get...
deadly illness...aigoo...
Stop with that, wife.
I said it, because Her Highness is crying.
Yes, please tell me everything that you have inside.
Aigoo..aigoo...you two have conversation.
I will go see Her Majesty.
I must go see Her Majesty.
Please come this way, Madam.
How selfish...
Your Highness,
you must feel great burden.
It's endurable.
When I head His Majesty talked back to you,
I was so sad...
If it is too hard to endue it,
then I will try to come up with a solution.
Solution?
What cannot be done with determination?
Do you think Sejo initiated the coup
by betting his life to do this?
I'm saying, do you think he killed his brothers and the young nephew just to do this?
Wouldn't it be due to his determination of building a proper country?
Please stop, Lord Buwon.
Not even a handful of people are shaking this country.
Regency by a noble who can't even read?
Of course you're the one who should be sitting on that seat.
I said stop.
To me, I still have that kind of strength left over.
If you step in and I help, then that's not a treason.
I said to stop, Lord Sangdan Buwongun.
It was even hard for me to get to here.
If I endure it a little bit longer,
then I can make the King to build the country that Crown Prince Uigyung dreamed of.
Are you telling me to forget that?
Your Highness...
What do you think is the King's path, Lord Sangdan?
Do you think it's the powerful King, who is raising the sword in the authority,
and standing tall on a sheer mountain?
When the Crown Prince Uigyung was alive,
my thought was like that, too.
Therefore, I even resented Crown Prince Uigyung for going against my father-in-law.
Crown Prince Uigyung, who had a weak people's sentiment and had lots of tears,
he looked such a weak monarch in my eyes.
Monarch is...
Lord Sangdan,
it is the one who makes the dream come true.
Even if there is not enough food to feed all the starving citizens,
if they have a dream, then wouldn't it be the happy country?
If the Crown Prince Uigyung had ascended to the throne, then what kind of world would've come?
He may not have been very good at conducting politics.
The monarch's spirit didn't stand up properly,
so the cabinet was filled with loyal subject who didn't take him seriously,
and we don't know if the citizens did the military duty and labor in a lazy manner.
However, it would never have been the world where it is as despairing as today.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are fighting, the loyal subjects are being suspicious of each other,
mere Court Ladies are fighting for power,
as if the citizens were staring at the mountain from a far, do you think he was starring at this country?
No.
If the monarch doesn't covet anymore,
and if he shared his dreams with the world, then wouldn't that be then happy country?
Just wait.I will make
that kind of country to my son.
Your Highness,
today I'm so embarrassed,
so I can't look at you straight, Your Highness.
Today, this humble servant finally learned the shame
that an animal can't even feel, Your Highness.
Keep that in mind, Your Highness.
No matter what happens,
you may not leave the Palace.
Yes, mother.
Even if you die, you must die in the Palace.
That's how you can preserve that seat.
Yes, don't worry, mother.
This is all...
my fault.
I couldn't raise you by feeding you properly,
so of course your body is weak...
You escorted Her Majesty to the Palace, so why are you crying?
I left Her Majesty who was sitting while sweating profusely
by herself in the Palace...
so my tears are falling like this.
Her body isn't well either,
so how would she endure it...
You did well.
If Her Majesty let her seat vacant for too long,
then we don't know what kind of scheme the Great Queen Dowager would plot.
Anyway, My Lord is the enemy!
Since he was a lower-level government official, what would he have been feeding the children properly?
Hence why our daughters were always sick.
You should go in and out of the Palace diligently,
so Her Majesty can also feel confident inside.
Ah right! That...
there was a wench named Suk Yi, Yoon,
who came to greet Her Majesty, right?
That wench is completely the fire fox, they said.
His Majesty has gone mad over her, so he even
tanks back to Her Highness!
That's an obvious thing, Hyungnim. Have you seen a man who doesn't like the heat?
In addition, how old is His Majesty this year?
He is more than old enough to open eyes for girls.
But this wench is...are you pouring salt on the wound again?!
Get out! I don't even want to look at you!
You've worked hard, since I wasn't here.
It's nonsense, Your Highness.
If you weren't here, then how lonely would His Majesty would've been feeling?
You must serve His Majesty with all your hearts hence fourth.
Whether His Majesty was awake or not, he only worried about you.
Even when he fell deep in sleep next to me,
he woke up as if he was crushed by a huge rock.
Then, even in the middle fo the might, he called in the Head Eunuch
and asked for your well-being.
He probably did it, because he is such a nice and caring person.
Your Highness, I'm sorry to say this,
but when the couple live apart for a long time, then the couple's love will also get far apart, they say.
Please get well and serve His Majesty every single day, Your Highness.
Thanks.
Is it difficult to sit?
No.
Your Highness.
I should get rest.
Did you say that you've turned 12 this year?
Yes, Your Highness.
Take care of His Majesty.
Yes, Your Highness.
Where did His Majesty go to sleep?
Is he at the Seoundol?
I'm sorry to say, but...
He must went to Suk Yi, Yoon's...
He should've gone to the Queen's today.
Why are you wearing all white?
Did someone die?
Your Majesty,
this humble servant can no longer look at HIs Majesty's disobedience.
- Disobedience?- Before Your Majesty is no longer disobedient
I will not serve you any more, so I put on this clothes.
The reason why couldn't give the greetings to my mother
was because mother locked the door and didn't open it.
How sad would she have felt, since she did that, Your Majesty?
Your Majesty, you've become the King and got a wife.
However, they still call Soobin as the Queen,
and they call your father as just a Uigyung King instead of Jong,
so what King would call his parents as just King and Queen?
This humble servant haven't learned much,
but isn't this the worst disobedience in the world to the parents?
Why would I not know that?
Since my grandmother is in charge of the regent,
I cannot do as I please. That's why.
Your Majesty,
if the King isn't obedient to the parents,
then you can't give the fault to the citizen, even if they're being disobedient.
If you appoint your parents as the Jong and Queen Dowager,
then who would dare pinpoint you and go against you?
Even the Great Queen Dowager
wont' be able to block Your Majesty's dutifulness anymore.
I've been studying nothing,
since I was lacking more than you, who can't even read one sentence.
Thank you, Song Yi. I will do as you said.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
This humble servant, every time I met Her Highness
I felt as sad as if my heart was tearing.
How much pain your mother's heart would've been feeling, too?
Thank you, Song Yi
for teaching me.
Your Majesty...

Let go off me! Let go off me!
I will cut off your breath!
Die! Die!
Did you do as I said?
Yes, Your Highness.
I don't know anything about that.
Pardon?
If something goes wrong, then you must tell them that's only done by you alone.
If I die, too,
then there is no one who can rescue you, right?
Today I have
something to say, so I told you all to come in.
Until when are you going to make me the disobedient son?
I can't even call my father who gave birth to me.
I have been calling him King Uigyung.
Moreover, I
can't call mother as mother,
but as Queen Insoo.
Is that right thing to do?!
There is still my father's shrine
outside of the Palace.
If I am the King, then the father who gave birth to me
should of course be at the King's shrine, right?
- Your Majesty.- If you're thinking of making me the disobedient son,
then put the new King on this seat.
I will go outside of the Palace, and while giving the ceremony in the father's shrine,
I will try to avoid being the disobedient son.
Your Majesty.
Your grace is the same as the heaven's, Your Majesty.
If you're being disobedient,
then we're also being disobedient,
so please appoint King Uigyung as Jong,
appoint Queen Insoo
as the Queen Dowager, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty...
Can I do that?
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty..Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!

Ultimately, King Uigyung was appointed as Deokjong,
and moved him to the Kings' shrine.
"Deokjong"
Sungjong was not the adopted son of Yejong,
but he ascended to the throne as his real father, Prince Dowon's son.
In addition, Deokjong's wife, Soobin
was appointed as Queen Dowager Insoo.
Congratulations, Queen Dowager!
Congratulations, Queen Dowager.
Please live for a long time.
.
Unbelievable!
Now you're trying to make your child to persecute me?
No matter what, you should've blocked it. You put wings on Soobin!
Then what should I have done? I couldn't scold His Majesty in front of the loyal subjects.
Next time, they will demand you to step down from the regency.
- Would they really?- They're more than capable of doing that, Your Highness.
Let's make the do or die decision?
Your Highness, get rid of the morning meeting from now on,
you must personally oversea all the insignificant matters as well.
When the late King passed,
I should've killed Han Myung Hae then!
Congratulation, Your Highness.
Congratulations, Your Highness.

Finally, the King wrote the royal decree
which read, the elder of the Palace is the Great Queen Dowager,
Queen Dowager Insoo is the second,
and Queen Dowager Ansoon as the third elder.
If something bad happens to the Great Queen Dowager, before the King fully grows,
then it also meant that the Queen Dowager Insoo will be in charge of regency.
Why did you recommend
that person to His Majesty?
Look at all the loyal subject crying and extending the flattery.
Soon even the Great Queen Dowager might have to be aware of Soobin's sight.
Hence why it even turned out for better.
Even turned out for better?
If the Queen dies, then the only person who will make me the Queen is the Great Queen Dowager.
Would Soobin do that?
Hence why you should've pressed her down, so Soobin can't use her power.
As Soobin's becomes more powerful,
wouldn't the Great Queen Dowager turn on the lights on her eyes and try even more to knock Soobin Down?
Soobin probably wants the daughter of Yoonho.
Since she knows that the Queen won't live for long,
she hurried up and selected me and the Yoonho's daughter as Concubines.
Oh..
now that I heard it...
Ultimately, it's the fight between the Great Queen Dowager and Soobin.
As the Great Queen Dowager is getting trapped, she is going to ask for me.
What if something bad happens to the Great Queen Dowager first
or if Soobin wins in that fight, then isn't that a tragedy?
We can't do anything about that.
I must think that's my destiny and give up then.
What are you saying? Are you going to let the fish that you almost caught?
They said, Jin In Sa Dae Chun Myung.
It means, since we've done what a person could possibly do,
we should wait for the heaven's will.
Mother,
if that happens, I will die without regrets.
Since I lost him in this life,
I should be waiting for His Majesty in the afterlife.
Look at me, Your Majesty.
Thank you.
Due to you, I became the Queen Dowager.
I'm sorry, mother.
There is no need you to feel sorry.
I should be the one who should thank you, since I became the Queen Dowager as I wished for.
Your Majesty.
Yes, mother.
How happy would your father feel?
Look at me, Your Majesty.
Make the country that your father dreamed of.
Do you understand, Your Majesty?
What kind of country was the country that father dreamed of...
It is a country filled with people's sentiment.
Your father, Deokjong was
a person with a warm heart.
Should I tell you about when I met him?
Yes, Mother.
Your maternal grandfather, Lord Suwon Buwon's
homecoming, after working as a diplomat in the Ming,
was held in the Palace.
At that time, I followed my mother
to the Palace for the first time in my life.
Then I lost my way.
Yes, mother. Please hurry up and tell me.
Fortunately, I asked
a young scholar who was passing by.
"Where is the way to get to the Main Hall?"

One person has to die, no matter what.
If the heavens grant me this wish,
then it's all right for me to die.
Please kill me first,
rather than give His Majesty to some other wench.
Aigoo...My Lord! Aigoo...My Lord!
Come out, My Lord!
Aigoo...what should we do? Aigoo! Aigoo...My Lord!
What's the matter, wife?
A person...a person came from the Palace.
Our Highness is...
They said, our Highness went unconscious.
Ah, what did you say?
Aigoo...what should we do? Aigoo..what should we do?
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Aigoo...aigoo...Your Highness...
Aigoo...Your Highness!
Aigoo...Your Highness.
Welcome, Lord Buwon.
Where is Her Majesty?
Please come inside.
Aigoo...Lord Buwon...
Announce it!
Aigoo...Your Highness!
Aigoo...mother came.
Please come to your senses, Your Highness.
Your Highness, please try to come to your senses.
Your Highness!
Do you feel conscious?
Mother...
Mother came. It is your mother.
Your mother came.
She fainted?
Yes, Your Highness.
According to the doctors,
it'll be difficult for her to spend the night.
Oh my,
I don't have fortune.
What's with the funeral after funerals?
That's what I'm saying.
Too bad for Han Myung Hae.
He is about to lose both daughters in the Palace.
That greed!
What do you mean by recovery trip? The Queen's illness is quite serious, so where are you going to move her?
During the past few years, I've held two funerals in the Palace.
The late Majesty's mourning period isn't even over yet.
Hence why if something bad happens to the Queen in the Palace as well,
then that look will be speechless.
We can't do that.
Isn't the Queen is the mother of the country?
We can't let her end her life outside of the Palace with loneliness.
Your Highness,
when I thought about it,
I lost the Crown Princess last time
and losing Her Majesty this time
means that
I was greedy.
A lower-level ranked Han Myung Hae
met his owner well,
so he was able to get merit,
and become the Prime Minister twice.
Still it was not enough,
so I married off two daughters to the Palace
and didn't refuse to be Lord Buwon, so...
of course I'm getting the thousand punishments.
Lord Sangdan.
The only disappointing thing is
that I won't be able to see Your Highness becomes the owner of the Palace,
guide His Majesty to the right path and make him the great King.
I will get buried without seeing all that.
Are you saying that you're going to resign?
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
You must stay by my side.
You must stay by my side, Lord Sangdan.
That's how we can wash off my father-in-law's sins!
If it weren't for me and Lord Sangdan,
then who would know that person's real intention and deliver the message to the descendants?
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
Queen Dowager.
Did she leave the Palace?
They're waiting for the sunset.
What are they hesitating? They might see the corps in the Palace at this rate.
Your Highness!
.
Stay
seated, Your Majesty.
I won't be able to see her again, mother.
You must not interfere with women's business.
The Queen is probably looking for me, mother.
My heart is falling down!
Your Highness,
would you look one more time?
Yes, father.

After the death of Queen Gonghae, many people followed and left this world.
The Great Dowager's brother, Prince Yoonsa passed away,
and Hong Ryun Sung and Shin Suk Joo followed.
The political authority was still in the hands of the Great Queen Dowager, Jung Yi,

Stop hunting for fun.
How old is the Majesty?
Isn't it time to withdraw the regency?
You may kill whomever you see.
I was living without a sword...
Please stay still. It looks bad.
Is it bad to get grey hair in this old age?
What do you mean this age? You're still young, mother.
His Majesty's look is exactly the same as his father, but his personality does not resemble him at all.
Among us, the one who serves His Majesty the most isn't that you, Suk Yi, Yoon?
If I was Suk Yi, Yoon, then I would've been pregnant already.
I wasn't going to say anything, since you're so curious...
