Queen Insoo (인수대비)

Queen Insoo ~ Episode 56 ~

How are the disposed queen and brother doing?

Do you not know how they're doing?

There seems to be no one who knows their whereabouts.

Why are you asking about this?

Find them.

What are you planning on doing after finding them?

Look after them just enough that they're not starving.

It's a storm that must be faced one day.

We need to be well-prepared.

Your excellency, isn't it it time to slowly move into action?

With what skill do I have to be able to do anything when the Great Queen Dowager is still alive?

First we need to let the King know in detail how the disposed queen died

Shhh

Be careful with your words!

Who would hear us?

The Great Queen Dowager's surveillance nowadays can't be described in the least as severe.

If we open our mouths so carelessly...

It's all a mess anyway. We should try to control the court.

All the high officials in court are on the side of the Great Queen Dowager.

If the new young King proactively seeks to avenge his dead mother

who could be spared?

So

We need to clear all of them in one sweep.

That way we can open a world of our own.

Do you..have a plan?

Though I'm not sure of the correct solution

I do know where it could be.

Where?

Wouldn't it be inside the coffin of the disposed queen?

Your excellency, I will surely find out that solution

and cleanly sweep the court.

What could be better if that's how things went!

Mother

Save the royal grandson.

The grandson

has no sin, mother.

Don't worry

I will make my grandson into a righteous ruler comparable to you, King.

Just have faith in me, your mother.

Your majesty, your drinking is quite severe.

Bring me more alcohol.

Your Majesty

Did you not hear me?

I said go and bring more alcohol!

Your majesty if you continue to do this

Are you mocking me now?

Your majesty

Do you dare laugh in my audience?

That I am the son of the disposed queen?

You are the son of Dowager Queen Jasoon.

Mother!

Why did you make a mark on the face of the former king?

So that there was no choice but to have the deathly tonic bestowed on you.

Your Majesty.

The grave of the disposed queen

I will inter the grave of the disposed queen

and I will leave out the blood and flesh for it to be feasted upon by the crows!

Let's go.

- Let's go to the disposed queen's grave! - Your Majesty

Your Maj...Your Majesty

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Please compose yourself your majesty.

Your majesty, please. Maintain your composure.

I am

I am the felon's son.

Your!

dirty blood

flows through my body!

Yeah!

As spontaneous as lightning is right now,

thunder let it roar!

Surely

be sure to strike my head!

Rip my body into pieces from limb to limb

and the blood

the dirty blood

have it completely cleansed!

Take a look at me and save me!

Cleanse me completely.

To my bones,

even in my ears. Cleanse me.

Completely!

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Your Majesty...

Royal Mother!

Royal Father!

Your Majesty!

- Your Majesty - Your Majesty - Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Let it be.

I will light it again.

I wasn't reading, but

I was recollecting the past.

So what difference does it make if it's dark.

The reason that Sejong became a righteous ruler is because there was Taejong.

Since there was no need for Sejong to struggle for the throne

he only needed to think about making the people and the nation at ease.

Sejo was so busy for his entire lifetime maintaining his power.

For power that was snatched away, who else besides himself would do a good job to protect it?

Thanks to him, Seongjong was able to maintain an era of peace and enlightenment.

I killed my daughter-in-law.

The reason I left my grandson alive while killing my daughter-in-law

is because I hoped that the Current Crown would complete the work that my son couldn't.

There mustn't be power struggles for the royal authority for that to be possible.

- I apologize but your highness. - Royal Mother!

Is that the King's voice?

Royal Mother!

Royal Grandmother!

Your lowly subject has committed a sin worthy of death!

Forgive me, Royal Grandmother.

What sin the father of your lowly subject committed

I came to realize only today.

I'm embarrassed of what I've done.

I can no longer lift my head.

Justly dethrone your lowly grandson

and punish me for my sin against you Royal Grandmother.

Your Majesty

Your Majesty.

Take this away won't you!

Your majesty!

I

even deserve to get struck by a thunder.

Your majesty...

Your majesty!

Current crown,

Royal Grandmother

Get up, Current Crown.

This grandmother of yours

has been waiting for you.

Welcome, Current Crown.

Royal Grandmother

Your lowly grandson has misunderstood you Royal Grandmother

please scold your endlessly narrow-hearted lowly grandson.

Current Crown.

You are this land's sovereign.

Who would blame your shortcomings.

In of my naivete

the fact that royal mother dotes more on Jinseong

than me

was because I was not her biological child

Current Crown.

Didn't they say that love from nurture runs deeper than that of birth?

Rather it was the Queen Dowager who was more for you.

Yes, I know.

Look back on the past days.

Was there anyone who opposed your ascension to the throne?

If they did try

could have anointed Royal Prince Jinseong over you Current Crown.

There was a lot of not so good things said off the record

There were many who demanded the child also be accountable for the disposed queen's crimes.

The Dowager Queen had blocked all those objections.

The reason that you are able to sit in your position

is because of the Queen Dowager.

How can

I compensate for the unfilial behavior I have committed against the Royal Mother ( Queen Dowager )

Just tell me how. Anything.

I will do exactly as you say.

Become a righteous ruler.

That would be more than enough.

Royal Grandmother

I will become a righteous ruler no matter what

so that the Royal Mother and

Royal Grandmother's grace will be compensated for.

Come closer and sit next to me.

Yes, your majesty.

I said to sit next to you.

Your grace is immeasurable your highness.

Didn't I tell you that we should act without formality in private?

If we are to distinguish between ruler and subject in front of mother when we're brothers

How uncomfortable mother must feel.

Yes, your majesty.

- Not again. - Yes, Hyungnim.

Mother

Yes, Current Crown.

Even after Jinseong marries

I'm planning on letting him stay in the palace.

He must live outside.

Then mother will be so lonely.

this lowly son will be disappointed too.

Thank you, Current Crown.

Don't worry, mother.

I will look after Jinseong well.

If anyone tries to get in-between us

I will not let them be.

There

It's great.

No matter what he may feel inside, since he has at least lowered himself to you, your highness

For the meantime both inside and outside the palace will be at ease.

Is there something...that gets at your heart...?

I have to live for a long time.

Yes,

I have to live for a long time.

Until the last traces of the disposed queen are completely erased.

Would his majesty really have caved under your highness?

You cannot believe it as is.

Then what can I do?
