Can I See You Again
Don't Want to Meet Me?
That realization returned, as the Crown Prince stared at the tiny hand that touched his sturdy arm.
"Your Majesty, I ... "
"Do you love me?" asked the Crown Prince to break Youra's sentence. Youra flinched, digging back what he was thinking. Love or hatred that has been lodged, in fact, makes it hurt and confused.
"Get out of my room, and don't come here again." The Crown Prince forcibly removed Youra's hand from her arm, leaving the room. Youra was cornered until her body weakened. Caught with falling tears. There's a pain in there that's tightening the chest. The servants forced the weak body out of there as soon as possible.

News of the Crown Princess breaking through the Crown Prince's residence while staying overnight with a concubine was widespread. People threw at each other their humiliating laughter. Embarrassing, for them a classy woman like Youra doing such a thing was a shame.
The punishment for Han Ji-Eun has not been discussed. Prime Minister Han who knew the princess was taken prisoner became furious. He rejected the other ministers. The power and popularity of Prime Minister Han resulted in the breakdown of the country's stability. Youra never once wanted to withdraw his word, insisting on punishing Han Ji-Eun as much as possible.
The Crown Prince issued a letter seeking the release of Han Ji-Eun's status as wife. However, the letter was not approved by the queen at all. They included ministers who kept forcing the Crown Prince to extend his intention to divorce the scheming concubine in detention because the Crown Princess was not pregnant.

The reality that should have humiliated Youra was even incriminating to the Crown Prince. The people threw all the blame on the Crown Prince.
"Cursed be the barren Crown Prince! The curse that wreaked havoc! Get married to a lowly woman who has no ethics! Why didn't the king remove him from the throne?!"
The expression of hatred that shackled, swayed the palace until the king was seriously ill. "Your Majesty, the king's condition is deteriorating at the moment" a lady-in-waiting told the queen. The queen shook her agitated body, unceasingly praying for the safety of the husband. The fact that she was involved in Han Ji-Eun's mistake also made her fall ill for fear of being dragged into jail.
The news of His Majesty the King is seriously ill becomes a dilemma in the midst of society. The bad preconceptions about the future of the king became worse than before.
Something very dangerous. The news of the deterioration of the king's condition, coupled with the queen's illness added to the people's bad speculation about the Crown Prince. They are increasingly protesting for the decline of the Crown Prince who is considered an unlucky bearer. As a result, the king was unconscious because of many thoughts. Not yet there, a minister was running into the Crown Prince's palace, delivering a terrible news that had never happened before.
"Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty refused the gold deposit because it assumed you were deviating from the previous agreement. The recent armistice with the West can no longer be maintained. They took hostages of the incapable people living on the coast. According to a report by the Bureau of Investigation, the shortage of rice supplies managed to trick them into rejecting our royal political throne. They assume you are involved in a false agreement made by irresponsible people about a false tax policy on investors. Your Majesty, our country will fight."
Finished the minister conveyed the global disaster that had occurred, the Crown Prince who was actually sick just continued to pretend to be healthy so that the enemy country did not take a chance. The Crown Prince restrained his dizzy head in a number of ways. He sat weakly on the bed, sweeping the blood out of his nose. "Your Majesty, you are sick. You can't have much of a thought and keep resting." Eunuch Cho helped the Crown Prince sit leaning on his bed.
"I know you hate me so much, but I don't want you to get sick if you know this country's in an emergency."
"So, what are you going to do, Your Majesty?" ask Eunuch Cho while wiping the Crown Prince's sweat with a towel.
"What else do you think I should do?" answer the Crown Prince.
"Your Majesty, please don't do that. Think about your health and safety." As if to know, Eunuch Cho showed his worry.
"I can't see my people suffering. I don't want any more victims because of me." The Crown Prince looked up, holding the blood so as not to get too much out of his respiratory tract.
"It's not all because of you, Your Majesty. All this is because of the stupidity of those who continue to insult you."
"They're just little people, they don't know anything. They just misunderstood." The Crown Prince closed his eyes afterwards. He broke his sick body.

"The king and queen fell ill, Your Majesty. All problems will fall into the hands of the Crown Prince as heir to the throne. These are some state documents that require your consent and advice. This incident had never happened before during the generations. Not only would it endanger the country, this matter would also endanger the Crown Prince's position and life." Dayang Nari handed the document to Youra.
"Worshipping the Crown Prince?" ask Youra.
Dayang Nari nodded, "You must know, the people hate him very much. They want Prince Yul to take the throne. If Prince Yul is indeed going to usurp the throne, the overthrow is to kill the Crown Prince. His death will bring Prince Yul to power. That was the reason the Crown Prince had to have offspring, in order to protect his life and throne. If he had no heir, the throne could have fallen to someone else. I think you already know."
Youra was flabbergasted, her beautiful face showing an overwhelming sense of heartache. "Darang Nari, do you know where he is?" ask Youra.
Dayang Nari smiled at him. "Right now, the Crown Prince is in his library. Would you like to visit him?" tanya Dayang Nari excited.
"Yes, I want to see him."
Youra's words managed to steal the entire happiness of the servants who were very supportive of her relationship with the Crown Prince. They tidied up Youra's hair and dress before driving her to meet her husband. Youra stepped beautifully full of elegance towards that library.
"Your Majesty, Crown Princess ... Nice to meet you," said Kasim Cho. "Is the Crown Prince inside?" ask Youra.
Eunuch Cho nodded slowly, before finally breaking Youra's spirit. "Sorry Your Majesty, right now the Crown Prince doesn't want to meet anyone."
"Tell him, I want to meet him," Youa insisted.
"Sorry Your Majesty, I cannot deny the Crown Prince's order." Eunuch Cho bowed her body, followed by the officers who were preparing to prevent her.
Youra took a deep breath, before finally leaving. However, not too long ago that move drove him away, someone seemed to come to the Crown Prince's palace. He was able to enter after a little chat with Eunuch Cho.
"Eunuch Cho!" youra shouted from a distance, successfully stealing the attention of all the people who were there.
"Your Majesty, hold on to your emotions." Dayang Nari tried to chase after Youra who was about to step up again.
Youra raised her dress, walking quickly towards Eunuch Cho. "Eunuch Cho! Why did he get in, but I couldn't? Ha! He said he didn't want to see anyone, why could that person?!" youra snapped in disbelief.
Eunuch Cho immediately knelt at Youra's feet, "Inspend Your Majesty's Servant. Crown Prince, don't want to see you." Very sorry Kasim Cho said it.
"He ... doesn't want to see me?" Eunuch Cho nodded, confirming the statement indirectly.
Youra felt sad, she just kept staring at the door of the Crown Prince's personal library hoping for the husband to come out from there.
"Is ... is he okay?" ask Youra to Eunuch Cho. Eunuch Cho spontaneously looked at the pretty face of Youra after hearing that caring sentence. "You're worried about him, Your Majesty?" tanya Kasih Cho painted the corner of her smile on her lips. "Please answer Kasim Cho, please" Dayang Nari said, knowing that Youra was devastated.
"He's sick, Your Majesty. Today the blood did not stop coming out of his nose. He refused to be called a doctor. Is there anything I need to say, Your Majesty?" ask Kasim Cho.
Youra stared for a long while, before looking back at the door of the library.
"Tell him, eat regularly and don't forget to get enough rest."
Youra's reply managed to make Eunuch Cho shed happy tears. "Your Majesty, fine. I'm sure I'll convey that to him as soon as possible" he replied excitedly.
