Queen Insoo (인수대비)

Queen Insoo ~Episode 45~

His is overseeing the politics during the day and drinking alcohol all night? - Yes, Your Highness.

He probably doesn't want to hear the old officials nagging.

It has been a long time, since His Majesty has come to greet the Great Queen Dowager. - Greeting is so not necessary. Bring the Prince next time you come. I miss him so much that I'm about to get sick.

Grandmother, I gave command to build a new jungak in the Gyeongbok Palace. Shouldn't it be bigger and more prestigious than Gyeotaejun, since the great elder of the Palace will be staying? - Is that so?

I'm sorry to say, but the reason why His Majesty has been distant with the old officials is probably due to the Queen Dowager.

How come? - Don't the officials have a deep relationship since the coup?

The old officials are only keeping their eyes on the Queen Dowager. Of course they'll do that, since she is the Mother of His Majesty. - They shouldn't. I withdrew the regency for His Majesty to conduct new politics.

The Queen Dowager is... - I understand. I will cover His Majesty's back. - Yes, Grandmother.

That greed of hers... - Your Highness. - Isn't that so? All her wishes have come true, so why is she keep interfering in the politics? Hence why his avoiding his Mother.

Where should I escort you to, Your Highness?

Should I escort you to the Queen Dowager's?

To the Queen Dowager's!

Your Highness, they said the Queen went to greet the Great Queen Dowager, and now she is on her way here.

I understand.

Stop.

Your Highness?

Tell the Queen Dowager that I suddenly got a stomach ache, so I'm returning to the Gyeongbok Palace.

Let's go.

To the Gyeongbok Palace!

Where is the Queen? - She went to the Gyeongbok Palace. Aigoo...Her Highness is waiting... - She suddenly got a stomach ache...

Your Highness. - Did she arrive? - I'm sorry, but the Queen has...

I'm sorry, but the Queen suddenly got a stomach ache...

I understand.

Prince must be growing every day. Now he looks quite dignified. - Of course. It's getting close to 100 days since the birth. - Has it been that long already? I didn't even notice the time passing.

Here.

By the way, I came up with a name for the Prince. How about Yoon? - Your Majesty,

it has been almost 3 months since I gave birth. I am ready to serve you. - I'm sorry. I should visit you more often, but since there are so many noisy incidents going on in the State Council. -But you have time to drink and talk with young scholars?

Since Your Majesty doesn't look for me, the Queen Dowager isn't receiving my greeting.

What are you saying?

Mother does not receive your greeting?

Tell me in detail. There is no reason why the Queen Dowager wouldn't receive Daughter-In-Law's greeting, right?

Your Majesty, this humble servant, who was born into a peasant family and got sold to the Palace, held onto Your Majesty's sentiment and became the Queen. I even got a Prince, so what more could I wish for? - I asked, why doesn't the Queen Dowager

receive your greetings? Tell me in detail. - Don't you already know well?

The Queen Dowager is more fond of Suk Yi, Yoon, who is from more prestigious family. Don't say anything to the Queen Dowager. I can handle his much humiliation.- I can't do that. - Your Majesty, please don't tell her. How could I face her if you did?

Who said that? - Your Highness. - That my Daughter-In-Law is fighting against me? - The Great Queen Dowager made the Queen to... - Why are you being improper? - This isn't time to be honorable, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

the Queen has given birth to a Prince.

Is that all?

The Great Queen Dowager is backing her up from behind, so wouldn't that mean she has two wings?

If His Majesty sides with the Queen, then...

My son isn't someone who would do such.

They said, child inside your chest, Your Highness.

.

How long has it been, since His Majesty has given greeting to you?

Would he get controlled by a peasant wench, since he can be cold to his Mother?

He is probably becoming an adult.

I have been too much for him for a while.

My son had to fulfill what Crown Prince Uigyung didn't get to fulfill,

so I taught him sternly, and raised him sternly.

Hence why he probably fears me.

He will return. He will return to this Mother soon enough.

Your Highness, before it's too late, you must face and fight them.

Currently, there is no official who follows Your Highness in the State Council.

The Prime Minister and other officials are keeping their eyes on the Queen,

and the rest are trying to separate the relationship between His Majesty and Your Highness.

The only person, who follows Your Highness, is Lord Sangdan.

I told you that I have His Majesty!

At least His Majesty will never discard his Mother, even if the whole world turns their back on me.

Your Highness,

how could you lie like that?

What Lie?

What if His Majesty finds out...

Even if so, would he have a three person meeting to figure out who said what?

Pardon?

If I say that the Queen Dowager didn't receive the greeting,

and if the Queen Dowager says that I didn't give the greeting,

then who would His Majesty side on?

Don't worry.

If he was to nit pick something like that,

then he would've given the greeting to the Queen Dowager without missing a day.

Your Highness,

you even gave birth to a Prince, so is it really necessary to fight against the Queen Dowager...

I should repay her.

I should give back as much humiliation as I have received.

A peasant one?

Since she has gotten her son taken over by a peasant wench,

how much pain would she feel inside?

Your Highness,

the Queen Dowager is the Mother of His Majesty.

At some point, they'll reconcile...

I should block it! If not, then I'll die.

What do you think will happen, if the Queen Dowager holds the power?

Do you think she would let me stay on this seat, just because I gave birth to a Prince?

She'll come up with any excuse to bring me down from this seat.

After that, she'll put Suk Yi, Yoon on my seat as her wish,

and if Suk Yi, Yoon that wench gives birth to a son,

then she will appoint him as the Crown Prince instead of my son.

Yes, I know it well!

How did His Majesty ascended to the throne? Ha!

Don't you think I can't do that?

I, too, will do anything to make my son ascend to the throne.

Yes, Of course I will do that.

Let's see...

My Lord, a guest has arrived.

Who is that?

They are the Lord Royal Secretary of the Right and Lord Mureyung.

What? Who came?

The Lord Royal Secretary of the Right and...

Aigoo, who are these?

How could you two Lords visit such a shabby house?!

Welcome, Lord Royal Secretary of the Right.

Oh, you recognize me.

Aigoo, of course. You're working hard for our Highness,

so how could I not recognize you?

Have you not had the chance to greet Lord Mureyung?

I've heard a lot about you.

Isn't he the scary one who caught all the criminals?

He is, he is!

Nice to meet you.

Let's not do this here, and quickly get inside.

It's my honor.

Prestigious guests came. Bring out the alcohol.

Yes. - Here, let's get side.

Aigoo, it's refreshing. Aigoo, it's refreshing.

Aigoo, right child, there.

Press there a bit more.

Madam, the Lord asked to bring out the alcohol.

Who has arrived, since he wants the alcohol brought out?!

Aigoo...not there but below that.

Lord Royal Secretary of the Right has arrived.

Why did that Royal Secretary of the Right come here?

It wouldn't even be enough, even if the Head Minister came...

Aigoo, to meet the two Lords while sitting on this seat at a such young age

I feel as if I'm sitting on a seat with thorns.

Aren't you the brother of the Queen?

It's nonsense.

Sit comfortably.

Ah, then I'll stay seated.

Let's not do that, and why don't you sit on this seat?

That's not necessary, but I'll tell you the reason why we came.

So rushing...

I am about to impeach Han Myung Hae.

Pardon? Whom?

Since the opponent is such a great person, it'll be good to know His Majesty's intention.

Hence why I came here.

You'd impeach Han Myung Hae?

I don't know what you're saying...

This person, his meant that you must go through Her Majesty

to oversee His Majesty's intention.

Well...

Since Her Majesty gave birth to a Prince,

she would need people whom she can trust and command them to work for her.

Isn't that so?

That's right.

Put a bridge for us.

Bool...

Bool Gam Chung-like...

Go So...*(Bool Gam Chung) Go So Won, it is. *can't be spoken as it is, but desperately wishing for it

Did you say Lord Muryeung and Lord Royal Secretary of the Right?

Yes, Your Highness.

What would they do to Han Myung Hae?

They'll impeach Han Myung Hae and...

Your Highness, shouldn't there be at least one or two people whom you can trust and give work

in the State Council?

Tell them to do that.

How about decide after telling His Majesty...

Would His Majesty tell them to do that, if he heard it pror to that?

Han Myung Hae is His Majesty's Father-In-Law.

Well, that is true.

It turned out well.

If Han Myung Hae gets impeached,

then how lonely would the Queen Dowager become?

What is this?

According to Lord Muryeung, Yoo Ja Gwang,

Lord Sangdan, Han Myung Hae has received a bribe from someone named Kim Joo,

and he has given a post to him.

Your Majesty, this must not be taken lightly.

Tell me something that makes sense.

Lord Sangdan has received a bribe?!

If you're going to entrap him, then you should say that he has received at least 10 mal (183.9 liter) of sesame seeds.

Would it only be 10 mal of sesame seeds that Lord Sangdan has received?

If we interrogate Lord Sangdan by reporting this to the Office of Inspector General,

then the detailed truth will be revealed.

Are you saying that we must interrogate King Sejo's loyal subject for that?!

What did He say?

This person, what is 10 mal of sesame seeds?

If you're to catch a person, then you should've done it correctly.

I only got humiliated by His Majesty.

What did you say?

I asked, if you'd like to catch Han Myung Hae.

So?

I submitted an appeal regarding Han Myung Hae's impeachment.

However, His Majesty said that this case is unintelligible,

so he said to cover it up.

I heard it as well.

Did you write that he has received 10 mal of sesame seeds from someone named Kim Joo?

There is a reason why I said 10 mal of sesame seeds.

With that much...

Han Myung Hae has to get impeached with that much,

so he can be humiliated like a dog, right?

If we say that Han Myung Hae has given him a 6th junior rank of local government and received about 100 acres of land,

then people will think that Han Myung Hae is capable of receiving that much.

That's how people would react.

However,

if we say that he has exchanged the position for a mere 10 mal of sesame seeds,

then what will happen to Han Myung Hae's reputation?

That is right.

Your capability of catching Nam Yi is slowly surfacing.

My Son-In-Law's name is on the list?
