Part 2 Episode 64
the result is the same
From what Prince Hwang Tae-son had experienced so far, it seemed like Jeong Gwang always behaved as he wanted, but looking back, it turned out that he did so for a good reason.
There are many cases where people do it with a purpose other than the one they first put forward… … .
Jeong Gwang’s subordinate, Bulchwigeom, wants to protect Princess Yeongpyeong and learn steadfastness from Sohye?
Bulchwigeom actually looked full of motivation, but was there any way to make it sound like that?
The Emperor’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
‘What are they aiming for this time?’
Even after thinking about it, no plausible answer came to mind.
“Jinokryong. “Are you really saying that the fact that Sohye wasn’t swayed by your appearance was unwavering?”
“Sure.”
I laughed because I answered so confidently.
“haha. After listening to it, it seems like that. But what does Gyeong-ho mean? “It sounds like he felt some danger.”
“Yesterday, when I looked around the imperial palace with you, I noticed that the defenses of Manan Palace were poor compared to other places.”
“It’s not like that doesn’t exist.”
“It’s a situation where you don’t know what will happen, so it’s a bit like that. “It’s also helpful to Bulchwigeom.”
“Hmm. I don’t know if Sohye has an unwavering mind, but it’s true that she’s famous for being calm… … .”
Taesun Hwang nodded and then shook his head.
“But I don’t know if Princess Yeongpyeong will be happy to be under guard.”
“why?”
“He is a person with many scars. You want to stay quiet and avoid people’s eyes. That’s why we’re setting up Beoncho as much as possible.”
“ah. Because of the libertine sire who you said was a good match… … .”
“hmm! hmm! “Are you sure you’re preventing the sound from escaping?”
“of course.”
Jeong Gwang reassured Hwang Tae-son and continued.
“Does Princess Yeongpyeong feel uncomfortable with this man?”
“I’m not sure, but I’m guessing so.”
“Then the Burning Sword is perfect. “It’s the same woman.”
Hwang Tae-son looked at Jeong Gwang blankly.
‘It’s not wrong. Besides, seeing as they’re trying to persuade me this much, there must be a reason for that.’
Even if you hear unpleasant comments from Princess Yeongpyeong, it would be right to come forward.
“I don’t know about the day, but I didn’t feel safe at night, so that’s good.”
“As expected of you. “You understand.”
“Okay. “Let’s give it a try.”
When Jeong Gwang looked satisfied, Hwang Tae-son added.
“However, I think it would be better not to talk about immobility.”
“why?”
“I think it will only raise unnecessary suspicion. “It’s hard to even explain it with my own words.”
Seeing that his heart did not waver even after watching The Most Handsome Man in the World, it is clear that he has an unwavering mind. How can you say something like this?
It was clear that So-hye would not believe it, and Jeong-gwang’s purpose was probably something else anyway, so he meant to go without raising suspicion.
“hmm.”
Although Jeong Gwang did not completely agree, he accepted it because he knew that the Crown Prince was considerate regardless of the reasons.
“I will. “You can learn the Bulchwigeom on your own, right?”
Hyejin’s eyes lit up.
“Thank you for making it to this point.”
“Then let’s go.”
Emperor Taeson and Jeong Gwang and their party went to Manan Palace.
When I put the message inside, Sohye quietly came out and bowed.
“I see you.”
“You look tired. I sent a gift to the princess. “Are you in remission from your illness?”
“Thanks to you, you have become much better.”
“Thank goodness. I wish I had come to see you sooner. “I will tell you to pay more attention to your doctor’s office, so you will know.”
“Thank you, sir.”
“It is my duty as a worthy son, and I am even grateful.”
Hwang Tae-son smiled and continued speaking.
“If you really feel grateful, please listen to your brother’s favor.”
Sohye’s eyes widened slightly.
How could a person with the highest status as the Crown Prince call himself brother and say the word “favor”?
Whether she was surprised or not, Hwang Tae-son pointed at Hye-jin.
“For a short time, he served as the minor flag of the Jingui Committee and disguised himself as a man, but he is Bulchwigeom, a famous female association member of Gangho. You know the mood is bad these days, right? “I was always worried because the defenses of Wan’an Palace were so weak, but now that the right person has arrived, how can I stay silent?”
Sohye was smart, so she understood what he meant right away.
“Are you saying that you will have Bulchwim protect this place?”
“okay. “If the princess is uncomfortable, I hope you can persuade her.”
“… … .”
Sohye’s mind became complicated.
‘I’m talking about adding an escort… … .’
I don’t know if it’s anyone else, but isn’t he Jeong Gwang’s subordinate?
‘There’s no way my mother would accept it. Why are you trying to name the author? Did Jinokryong say something?’

I glance at Jeong-gwang, who I was trying to ignore for fear of making another mistake like before.
Jeong Gwang smiled and sent a message.
-I don’t know, so don’t worry. If you knew, you wouldn’t be the type of person who would come out like this.
Sohye barely held back the scream that was about to escape her mouth.
But that wasn’t the end.
-Seeing as you haven’t left the imperial palace yet, I think you’ve accepted the offer I made last night. What are you worried about?
‘… … !’
Sohye forced herself to look calm and looked away.
However, I couldn’t help but feel my heart pounding wildly.
‘That strange text! It was Jinokryong’s!’
I was so surprised to see letters engraved on the floor that were darker than pitch black.
At first, I felt a deep suspicion even while I was terrified because he used a secret language that I couldn’t understand.
‘When I was frozen like a stone, I used another secret language.’
I did that several times.
I don’t know why, but Jeong Gwang made a suggestion using letters that I could only recognize.
‘And I told you not to refuse any requests that come in today. Is this it?’
As I was thinking back on last night, Jeong Gwang sent me a message again.
-You’re not rejecting it, are you? Then, even if there is no evidence, I will tell His Majesty Hwang Tae-son right now. To the Emperor too.
‘… … !’
If that happens, nothing but catastrophe will remain.
‘Now that things are like this, there is only one way.’
Sohye came up with an answer to the problem she had been thinking about all night.
“Lowering. Could you please wait a moment? “I will go in and tell you.”
“okay. I’m counting on you. “If you’re having a hard time, I’ll tell you directly.”
Sohye bowed deeply and entered her mother’s room.
Princess Yeongpyeong, whose face was stiff, deliberately spoke in a weak voice.
“What brings His Majesty the Crown Prince to come?”
Sohye told the truth.
Princess Yeongpyeong distorted her face and wrote on the table.
[Did Jin Ok-ryong, the evil enemy, say something to Emperor Taesun?]
[I don’t think that’s the case.]
[but. Judging by the Prince Hwang’s temperament, if he knew something, he wouldn’t have planned it out like this.]
Princess Yeongpyeong’s eyes were colored with anger.
[So, I’m talking about Jinokryong’s dogmatism. They are trying to catch you because there is no evidence. So he asked the Crown Prince to escort him as an excuse.]
[That’s my opinion too.]
Princess Yeongpyeong, who was thinking deeply, moved her fingers.
[I cannot receive a watchman. Go out and refuse.]
I would have done it if something like this had happened yesterday.
Sohye, who had already made up her mind, persuaded her mother.
[mother. The Crown Prince will be disappointed.]
[Does not matter. Do you think I will be crushed by his power?]
Everyone in the imperial family felt sorry for Princess Yeongpyeong, so even when she committed rudeness, they would understand and overlook it.
Naturally, I thought it would be like that today as well.
Moreover, isn’t Hwang Tae-son always devoted to his elders?
But Sohye’s words shook Princess Yeongpyeong’s heart.
[If I could not persuade my mother, the Crown Prince said he would speak directly.]
[…] … directly?]
[That’s right. Doesn’t the fact that a great man who usually speaks once and be done with it mean that he will never back down? You have to think about his face.]
The Crown Prince had a broad heart and was gentle, but he was more fearful than anyone else when he got angry, as if he could not deceive his blood.
[If I refuse, it will not only make me blush but also raise suspicion.]
[…] … .]
[He’s not the Jinokryong, he’s just his subordinate, so just accept it. If we are more careful, there won’t be any problems.]
[…] … .]
Princess Yeongpyeong, who was worried, glared at Sohye.
[You’re speaking strangely and actively today. You’re not doing this because you have other intentions, right?]
As a sad light appeared in Sohye’s eyes, Princess Yeongpyeong apologized.
[sorry. I was so nervous that I spoke carelessly. That you are not that type of child.]
[…] … it’s okay.]
[Take what you say, but be careful. Let’s try a little harder.]
Princess Yeongpyeong held Sohye’s hand tightly and then opened her mouth.
“I appreciate your feelings, but no matter how much I think about it, I feel uncomfortable around strangers.”
“mother. The atmosphere in the imperial palace is turbulent these days, so please think about it one more time.”
“Hmm.”
“I don’t think it would be right for me to refuse when you have done this for me.”
“iced coffee… … .”
Princess Yeongpyeong reluctantly agreed, and Sohye went outside and reported the fact.
“ha ha ha. Sohye. Good work. “I feel a little relieved now.”
Hwang Tae-son left Hye-jin behind and left with Jeong Gwang and Zhao.
Hyejin, who was left alone, greeted Sohye politely.
“It’s called the Burning Sword. I hope to go along well.”
“That’s what I’m telling you. Thank you for coming.”
“Please speak comfortably.”
Sohye shook her head.
“My mother is a member of the royal family, but I am not. Moreover, how can you speak carelessly to someone who has come to help you?”
Sohye continued speaking, pointing to the room where her mother was.
“There is no need to greet your mother, as she is bedridden and uncomfortable meeting strangers.”
“All right.”
“There are many vacancies, so choose where you like and stay.”
Princess Yeongpyeong was using the center room, and Sohye was using the room on the left. Hyejin checked the other rooms and chose the one closest to the mother and daughter’s room.
Sohye told the court ladies to tidy up the inside once more and then recommended it to Hyejin.
“My mother doesn’t enjoy eating meat. “It would be better to eat somewhere else.”
“I appreciate your words, but I cannot leave because I have come under orders from His Majesty the Crown Prince.”
“What great danger is there in broad daylight? “Isn’t the reason the woman Bulchwigeom came to prepare for the night?”
Because it was true, Hyejin said she would tell the Crown Prince.
“Bulchwigeom. “I’ll just go to my room.”
Hyejin caught Sohye as she was about to bow and turn around.
“If you don’t mind, can I ask you one question?”
“Please speak.”
“How can you be so calm after seeing the True Jade Dragon?”
“… … !”
Sohye’s head was spinning.
‘What does this mean again? Are you criticizing me for not being afraid even after seeing the True Jade Dragon’s abilities?’
I can’t believe I was pressured by a subordinate who wasn’t even Jinokryong.
If you hesitate here, you will continue to be pushed back.
Sohye answered in a low voice.
“Do you think I have nothing to say? Not to mention the fact that Jinokryong came last night and shook my heart. “But why did you come back and leave behind the sword?”
Hyejin’s eyes wavered.
‘What happened last night? Is sobriety possible… … .’
It’s been a long time since I got used to eating meat and drinking alcohol, but I never thought I would even lust after women.
‘You’ve been acting like you’ve been taking care of a woman. Have you started to spread your wings? Why did you only care about this woman when you didn’t even care about me or her subordinates? … .’
As Hyejin remained silent with a stiff expression on her face, Sohye, who had been watching quietly, sighed and apologized.
“It’s not my place to argue with Bulchwigeom, but I made a mistake. sorry.”
“… … no. “I am truly sorry for being rude.”
Of the two people standing awkwardly, Hyejin was the first to open her mouth.
“I think it would be better to keep quiet about what happened a little while ago.”
Sohye also agreed.
What would you do by dealing with Jinokryong’s henchmen?
“This is what I wanted to ask you.”
Hyejin nodded and furrowed her brows.
“But I don’t know if I can hide my expression in front of Danju.”
“I can do it.”
“How can you be so confident?”
“Because I’m used to it. That’s bound to happen when you live in the imperial palace. “Of course, you can’t hide your desires, and you can’t be rude.”
“I’m used to it… … “It will be difficult for me.”
“no. Whether it’s something you’re used to or something you force yourself to do, the result is the same. Instead of lamenting that you can’t do it naturally, try to do something similar, at least artificially. “It will pay off.”
Hyejin’s eyes widened.
It felt like light was seeping into a topic that had not been resolved.
* * *
When it was meal time, Hye-jin went to Hwang Tae-son.
After reporting to her mother what had happened, Sohye returned to her room.
‘I don’t know how things are going. I said I would accept the offer, but why didn’t I say anything? Are you trying to convey it through the Burning Sword?’
just as expected.
Hyejin came back and asked Sohye.
“To protect Manan Palace, you must also know about the surrounding palaces. “Can you please guide me?”
Sohye accepted after glancing at the room where her mother was.
“of course. “Please go this way.”
Sohye asked as she walked with Hyejin and went behind a pavilion.
“Do you have anything to say?”
Hyejin answered.
It’s a completely different tone and voice than before, but it’s something I’ve heard before.
“Sure. Since you accepted the offer, shouldn’t we move on to the next discussion?”
Sohye’s eyes widened.
‘Hey, this! True Jade Dragon!’
