Queen Insoo (인수대비)

Queen Insoo ~Episode 42~

Congratulations, Your Highness.

How happy are you, Your Highness?

Who is inside?

The Great Queen Dowager is.

What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?

You have nothing to fear, since you've become a father?

Mother still treats me as I am a young child.

Is that what you meant?

Yes, hence wouldn't I get treated as an adult from now on, Grandmother?

Of course you're an adult. Hence why I'm going to withdraw the regency, Your Majesty.

While the anonymous letter demanding

the withdrawal of Great Queen Dowager's regency

was shaking up the Palace,

Royal Consort Rank 2 Yoon became pregnant.

When that happened, the relationship between the Daughter-In-Law and the Mother-In-Law

began flowing to a strange place.

Since we haven't gotten an heir, although His Majesty is nearly 20 years of age,

I've been disappointed and anxious,

but Royal Consort Yoon has made this old one's wish come true.

Thank you.

Your Majesty.

Yes, Grandmother?

I was thinking of bringing in 5-6 more Concubines, if there was no news this year either.

From now on, I will work on it more and get many more children.

Your personality is quite refreshing, so I like it.

You should say something, too.

You should say a good virtue, since you're about to see the first grandchild.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Mother.

You should have good news, too.

Oh, anyway, shouldn't we hurry up and build the birthing chamber?

Yes.

Since it is the first celebration of the royal family, of course we should build the birthing chamber.

Your Highness... - Don't worry.

I will make sure they prepare it without any inadequate work.

Let me see...whom should I make the one to be in charge?

Right! Court Lady Choi will be good,

since you took care of Royal Consort Yoon since she was an apprentice palace maid.

I will do it without any inadequacy.

Your Highness, will it be necessary to build the birthing chamber as well?

Is this an ordinary child? Isn't this His Majesty's first child?

I'm sorry to say this, but Your Highness...this isn't the birth given by the Queen.

A birth chamber has never been built for a Concubine.

Didn't I say it is the His Majesty's first child?!

What do you think, Queen Dowager?

I think... - Let's do it as so...

Court Lady Choi.

Yes, Your Highness?

Contact the Department of Astronomy to predict the due date,

and build the birthing chamber according to that day.

Yes, Your Highness.

It is done, Your Majesty. Are you feeling confident now?

Yes, Grandmother.

You should thank this Grandmother at least?

Why so embarrassed?

Your Highness, there is no such a law.

A Consort is giving the birth, but building the birthing chamber?

There is no such a law that prohibits that.

Your Highness, what do you think is the reason

why His Majesty has been avoiding Your Highness?

It's because of Royal Consort Yoon.

You may stop now.

His Majesty visits Royal Consort Yoon's residence every single day.

If I ever try to escort him to Jung Gyu In or Highness, Um So Young's room,

then I'm not sure how she found out, but Suk Yi, Yoon waits in front of the Main Hall

and escorts His Majesty away as if she is snatching him.

It's not only that, Your Highness.

Suk Yi, Yoon has been calling in her mother from outside of the Palace

to learn all kinds of bridal spells...

I told you to stop!

She will bring the great turmoil, if you let Suk Yi, Yoon be like that.

What should we do, since His Majesty is fond of her?

But, Your Highness...

We must hurry up and announce the selection of the new Queen.

If Suk Yi, Yoon says that she wants to become the Queen, then what would you do?

That wench is more than capable of that.

She would become the Queen?

What kind of seat is that?

How come you're not saying a word today?

Lift your head up.

My my.. Lift it now.

Why are you crying?

Your Highness, please withdraw the command of building the birthing chamber.

Why that?

I even want to do more than that for you.

As more fond of you are of me,

it's the same as telling me to die.

Well, of course the Queen Dowager wouldn't be fond of you.

She'll probably think that her son got stolen.

Your Highness, if you withdraw regency and resign,

then wouldn't the Queen Dowager be in charge of the Inner Court?

If the Queen Dowager decides, then a mere person like I will be..

She cannot do as she pleases!

It's not only that.

When the command of selection of Queen gets announced, wouldn't Queen Dowager choose the new Queen?

According to the royal family law, the Queen is the one who holds the power of lives of Inner Court.

Hence how could I hope to live but die?

Then,

you can just become the Queen.

Right, we can just do that.

If you become the Queen, then even if it's the Queen Dowager

she won't be able to say do this or do that.

Your Highness.

You don't know how much the Queen Dowager hates me.

In-Law relationship is like that.

When Soobin got married into our house,

I also hated my daughter-in-law quite a bit without having a particular reason.

Even when I heard them laughing from my son's room,

fire got set inside of me.

So feeble-minded...

Give birth to a son, then I'll make you the Queen.

I said stop crying. The baby inside you may get surprised.

Court Lady Kang.

Yes, Your Highness?

Even if it has ears, it cannot hear.

Even if is has eyes, it cannot see.

Even if it has hundred mouth, it cannot talk. Do you know what animal that is?

If you don't know, then think about that carefully.

When there is a birthing chamber, then they choose the doctor to be on stand-by,

and choose the nurses to prepare for the birthing.

In the birthing room, they first put a talisman with written directions

on the wall, and they put a large nail on the pillar

to allow the birthing mother to grab onto her hand and push,

so they hung a rein that was made of deerskin.

On the floor, they put fur and papers.

On top of it, they covered it with a knitted sheepskin.

Other than that, there were also special items. A set of seahorse and lotus flower seed

was believed to give the gentle birth,

so it was used as a talisman.

Your Highness, why did you make that promise?

Is there reason that I shouldn't?

His Majesty is still young, so making the Queen from the Consorts is...

That's how my daughter-in-law can't spread her wings.

Pardon?

Are you doing this because you don't know the reason why Soobin wants to select the new Queen?

She wants to put the daughter-in-law whom she selected with her own hand.

That's how she can grab and shake it with her own hand.

That is true, but...

I heard that Suk Yi, Yoon has been mistreated by Soobin quite a bit.

If that Suk Yi, Yoon becomes the Queen,

then Soobin will probably get quite frustrated.

I feel so happy thinking about it.

Tell her as you heard.

What are you afraid of?

Wouldn't Her Highness protect you?

Your Highness!

The Great Queen Dowager said that she would make Suk Yi, Yoon as the Queen.

I heard her promising that.

In addition, she told Lord Woo Sang the same thing, she says.

If Your Highness selects the new Queen, then...

It's enough.

Stop now.

I told you, Ma'am. You should not have told her...

Only I'm about to die.

If Song Yi becomes the Queen,

then do you think Court Lady Choi would let us live?

If that happens, we're the same as dead.

Did you know about it?

I was going to leave after killing you.

My whole life was a history that was colored in blood.

I wanted to cut that with my hand,

and wanted to give the throne to the Crown Prince.

If I let that task to the Crown Prince,

then wouldn't the Crown Prince take over his father's hell as well?

Hence why with my hand

I had to cut that off.

If Prince Dowon ascended to the throne,

then do you think he would've become the strong ruler? Answer me.

If Prince Dowon didn't die and ascended to the throne,

then he would've been a scarecrow, who pretended to be a King while being wrapped around by your skirt.

Is there anyone outside?!

Yes, Your Highness.

I will go see Lord Sangdan!

Are you saying that the Queen Dowager went to Lord Sangdan's house by herself?!

I am sorry, Your Majesty.

They let her go alone? What if something happens to her?

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Stop it!

Where are you going, Your Majesty?

I asked, where you're going, Your Majesty!

I'm going to escort mother.

Are you still going to follow your mother behind?

Grandmother! - Hence why I cannot withdraw the regency.

Mother went outside of the Palace without bodyguards.

Is it the duty of a child to pretending of not knowing that, Grandmother?

It's better than something happens to Your Majesty.

I have been avoiding my mother intentionally until now.

Even if mother felt disappointed, I wanted the Place to be comfortable. That's why.

Are you saying that you've endure it because of me?

You two are not fighting in a war now.

"If I don't kill you, then I will die." that kind...

Is that so, Grandmother?

You resemble your father.

Your father also used to talk back to King Sejo The Great.

Where would that blood flow to...

Step aside, Grandmother.
