Mr. Queen (Queen Cheorin / Cheorinwanghoo / 철인왕후)

THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL AND ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,

AND EVENTS ARE UNRELATED TO HISTORICAL EVENTS.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

My Queen, thank you.

- Congratulations, Your Highness! - Congratulations, Your Highness!

I am becoming a father!

I'm...

pregnant?

Everyone, stop!

- Goodness. - Get out.

- Your Highness. - Goodness.

Why is the Queen so upset?

She is not upset.

She is just expressing her happiness.

Yes.

Is this what you call pregnancy syndrome?

This is more than just an identity crisis.

My identity will cease to exist, and my soul will be destroyed.

Is this how my life ends?

I told you that I was against getting married.

Even if I had accidentally gotten married,

I was never planning to have children.

It's hard for me to survive by myself in this warlike life,

so how could I become pregnant?

It's as reckless as taking off your bulletproof vest...

as you dance the samba while bullets are heading towards you.

That's not all.

Pregnancy and childbirth are so hard that they can reduce one's lifespan.

You're literally giving up your life to give it to your child.

Why do I have to give up my life expectancy...

to a child I don't even know?

Darned Mother Nature. Give someone else...

the provision of nature!

I can't believe I'm pregnant!

EPISODE 17, PREGNANCY IS BEAUTIFUL

You must wait. Your Highness.

EPISODE 17

You fabricated the dead body.

Did you think I would fail to recognize O Wol?

I did it so that you can open your eyes...

to your true self that you were unaware of.

The Queen has turned her back on the Andong Kim clan.

In return, the Andong Kim clan has joined hands with us.

It is your best chance to become the Queen.

Do not try to control me ever again.

How long can a bird that has been tamed by a human live...

if it chose to leave the birdcage?

There is an announcement that the King wants the world to know.

What is it?

The Queen...

is pregnant.

That is the sound of the drum to announce a joyful occasion.

Now that my storeroom is empty,

there is no way for me to fill my empty heart.

No delicacy can fill my stomach...

No, my heart. What can I fill it with?

I have even turned my back on my family.

I am a loner.

My lord!

My lord!

- My lord! - What is it?

An urgent message has arrived from the Palace.

Did something happen to the Queen again?

The Queen is pregnant!

What is the reason?

Your Majesty. Rather than searching for the reason,

perhaps you should find a way to make her feel better?

That is a good idea. How can I do that?

How can I make a woman feel happy?

I should not have asked you.

Who should I ask regarding this?

That is why...

I have invited an expert to help you resolve your worries, Jong Cheol.

All he has done these days was eat and think about that.

What are you doing?

She will probably get mad at you like this.

That is when you tell her this.

"I watered my flower."

I do not think I could live if I do that.

I guess she has a temper.

If that is the case,

there is a sure method.

What is that?

You make a silly face like this.

I hate myself for thinking the same thing as him.

I apologize.

It has definitely been helpful.

No way.

I realized how foolish it is to look for an answer from someone else.

When I am the only person who knows about her well.

Why are you crying? I'm the one who wants to cry.

It is because I am so happy.

You can cry as much as you want today.

Fine. You can cry.

You can cry in my stead.

For the sake of my life,

which I had no choice in.

Your Highness.

You should stop shedding tears of happiness.

Then what should I be doing?

You must personally announce your pregnancy to the Internal Court...

and receive congratulations.

I don't want to. I cut ties with my in-laws.

Whether you cut ties with them or you sewed it back up,

if you do not follow procedure, you will be called to account.

I hate my pregnancy even more.

The Grand Queen Dowager is here.

The Queen Dowager is also here.

They have beaten you to it.

What should we do about this?

Welcome.

I should have gone to you to announce the news myself,

but as you can see, I cannot get up.

What are my symptoms?

She has severe dizziness due to morning sickness...

and pregnancy pains.

Yes, that is it.

That is why I came personally.

Please...

have a seat.

It is okay.

Your body must feel heavy. Please sit comfortably.

Okay, then.

Upon hearing the news, I was so elated.

I even got you a talisman even though I stopped getting them.

I just wanted to make sure...

that you bring a healthy child into this world.

It kind of looks like a curse.

I am an atheist. I do not believe in talismans.

You will realize it when you give birth to your child.

You will want to believe something that you never did.

You will become desperate...

and want to make a wish on the stone people kick around.

You may not fear anything in this world.

But now, you will fear everything in this world.

Losing a child reflects poorly on the mother.

I talked to the royal physician and asked him to make medicine...

that will prevent you from a miscarriage.

Make sure to take the medicine every single day.

If something happens to the child,

you will be held responsible.

From now on, do not behave rashly.

You must be careful for the sake of your child.

Both of them came to threaten me.

I really feel like throwing up.

Thank you for your wisdom.

This is Prince Yeongpyeong.

Please come in.

You came because you were worried.

I am okay,

but I will not be able to bring myself...

to congratulate His Majesty and the Queen.

I should focus on my path.

I came to the palace to be of help to His Majesty.

I thought the only way...

I could help him was by giving him emotional comfort.

But when I saw the Queen, I realized that I was wrong.

It is your best chance to become the Queen.

Queen Dowager.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

What brings you here, Royal Noble Consort Eui?

You have joined hands with the Andong Kim clan.

- It is the clan's wish. - Do not sell our clan's name...

for your petty fight.

Do you wish to keep your position as Right State Councilor?

I hope you will make the right decision.

If not, I will gather the members of our clan...

who truly care about...

the future of Joseon with my father.

My father sent all of them?

Yes.

These are presents for the child you are carrying.

There is more.

There are more presents in the hall.

That puzzles me even more.

As it is dark, I will light the candles.

I don't care about those candles.

Starting now, my life...

will be pitch dark.

TO LEFT STATE COUNCILOR KIM SEOK GEUN

Once again, they had gone after the civil servant.

They did not behead the leader.

They could not go after the leader...

because they feared that it may be seen as treason.

Gosh, the guts of these farmers.

We do not have an excuse to utilize our men on a large scale.

This is giving me a headache.

By the way, was the cipher of Donghak believers...

found in the palace?

KIM SO YONG

Seeing how Donghak believers were able to penetrate the palace,

this is a major problem. We must hurry.

What if we end up with...

a lot of believes because we did not do anything about them?

You can just focus on your assignments.

Your Highness, starting today...

"TAEGYOSINGI"

you will begin your parental education.

You cannot lie on your side.

You cannot lean on your arm.
