Can I See You Again

You're all swindlers

The news of the Crown Prince's poisoning finally reached the king's ears that day. His hands shook violently. With a view that was no longer clear, the king assisted by servants rose from his weak seat. He was ushered to the Crown Prince's palace. This shocking news hit hard all his strength, so he was unable even to support his weak legs.

No matter what clothes he was wearing, the king continued walking towards his son's residence. Meanwhile, the ministers who were still around the palace whispered to each other, rumbling creating a vile sea of humans. They were not worried and praying for the best for the Crown Prince, but instead stuttering and saying the no-no.

"Wouldn't it be that if the Crown Prince dies we don't need to create a support group to elevate Prince Yul to the throne?" whispered one of the ministers in front of the Crown Prince's palace.

"really. Other than the late state adviser, who will defend the Crown Prince? Life or death, he still could not reign. The people rejected his leadership" added another.

"Isn't it better to just die? There's been a lot of people who hate him, so why does he want to stay in power?"

"wait. Who was the great person who had managed to poison the Crown Prince? Hasn't he always been free from attempted murder?" whispered the Chief Minister of War.

Ministers looked at each other, when they realized something that had been left behind for a long time. Youra the empress had just walked out of her husband's palace. This, raised suspicion for the ministers and by the entire palace occupants.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, the king could only be fixated. His face flushed looking extremely frightened and full of anger. Until he walked up to Eunuch Cho and pulled his collar. "Tell me, what happened?!!" the king shouted at Eunuch Cho.

Eunuch Cho wept bitterly, without being able to answer the king's question. The king removed Eunuch Cho's collar from his hands, immediately approaching the healers whose faces looked extremely tense.

"What happened to my son?!" the king asked loudly in the ears of the healers.

The healers could only bow withered, as if illustrating how dangerous this situation was. "Your Majesty, we are doing our best. Apparently, the Crown Prince gulped too much poison."

The healers looked at each other in dismay, leaving behind a hint of tension and a strange surprised face. "Your Majesty, there is something strange about this examination," added one of the healers after finishing arguing with another healer.

The king glared, staring fixedly trying to dig the information deeper. "A-what?" the king asked worriedly.

"This poison, it was only found in the cup that His Highness the Crown Prince had drunk. The other cups, water, and jugs had no poison at all. This is an attempted murder, Your Honor."

A waiter serving the drink came over. With fear, his hands shook incessantly.

"Tell me, what did you give my son?!!" the king shouted high. The sound of anger echoed to the point of arousing all their fears.

The servant rested at the king's feet, prostrating himself to beg him for mercy. "Your Majesty, I do not know that at all. Ca-cup, that cup is not the one I placed on the Crown Prince, Your Majesty," replied the servant in fear.

The king looked at his weakly lying son. The blood was scattered on his bed, giving everyone chills, until the king cried afterwards. "Tell me, who's been visiting? Why did the Crown Prince drink in his guest cup?" ask the desperate king.

Eunuch Cho approached, sobbed and rested at the king's feet. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Today, the Crown Prince is visited by the queen and empress."

Hearing him, the king fell weak, trying to piece together his shattered common sense. Try to think well without thinking about other bad things. Until finally, "Whoever did it, give him the death penalty as soon as possible!"

Youra entered her room, leaning against the closed door until her body weakened. His round eyes continued to glare sharply, producing a clear grain that he could no longer hold.

He bent both knees, leaning his chin on it. Biting his pale thumb many times. Dayang Nari who saw him was very worried, he approached Youra and held her back from hurting himself.

"Your Majesty, if you wish to return, I will escort you back to the Crown Prince's residence."

Youra did not reply to those words, she continued to shake her pale and sweaty body.

"Your Majesty, inevitably, you must return to the Crown Prince's residence, lest you be accused of poisoning your own husband. As the last man with the Crown Prince, all the evidence will incriminate you."

Whatever Dayang Nari said changed nothing. Youra was still adamant about not coming back. "I won't see that stupid man again" Youa replied.

Dayang Nari touched both of Youra's hands and held them tightly. "Your Majesty, even all this is for your safety. Don't you want to give up a little bit?" pinta Dayang Nari with her worried face.

Youa continued to shake her body, this time crying more and more, very depressed and frightened. "Your Majesty, please help jang..."

"Darang Nari, is he going to be okay?" youra asked breaking the sentence of the ladyboy.

Dayang Nari fell silent, faintly looking at the frightened eyes of Youra. Continue to dive deeper into the darkness that lies behind that gaze.

"Is the Crown Prince going to be okay?" youra asked with tears flowing unceasingly once again. The corner of the eye describes something, either hatred or attention. This time, it was very different.

The beautiful porcelain broke apart, crashing down from the weak hands of Princess Shin. The terrible news, ravaging Princess Shin's soul. "I'm going to the palace."

Stepping fast, Princess Shin dashed out of the stretcher that drove her. Immediately he set his breath and steps towards the Crown Prince's residence, finding the entire physician bowed miserably in front of his room, making Princess Shin's feet weak.

"How's my brother doing?" princess Shin sighed barging in.

"Sorry Princess, you can't see him at this time."

Princess Shin turned his head to the entire crowd waiting for the Crown Prince. Let alone Jung Hyun the bodyguard, the empress was not there either. "Is the queen here?" princess Shin asked one of the servants. All the servants shook their heads slowly, with a pitiful look. "The Empress had just visited, but she.."

Not needing to hear for long, Princess Shin galloped to meet Youra with all her disappointment.

**

"Where is that demonic woman?!" princess Shin's shout broke the silence right in front of Youra's room.

"Mr Princess, calm yourself."

No matter how many servants confronted her, Princess Shin continued to barge through the servants, finding Youa who was lying comfortably on her bed.

"But rotten women don't have brains like you, wake you up!" Princess Shin pulled out Youra's blanket, waking up Youa who had never actually slept.

"Princess Shin, please calm yourself."

The servants of Youra with worried faces they tried to hold Princess Shin's body which seemed to want to release immediately and threw all of her anger. The emotion explodes, even with its simple energy.

"Fuckin' woman! You can sleep comfortably on your rotten bed, when your husband is in alarming circumstances!" princess Shin never ceases to swear. However, Youa was silent, still lying on the bed without looking at Princess Shin at all.

That presumptuous hand pulled at Youra's shoulder violently, "Tell me, what have you done?!"

"Daughter, be obedient to the Empress," said the servants restraint.

Princess Shin sighed violently, stunned on the cold tile. He cried helplessly, sobbing kept on going.

"Why did you let my sister get hurt?" princess Shin asked, in her pitiful low tone. Youra was not chiming in, still sturdy with her high ego.

"Why does he love a woman as sweet as you?" added Princess Shin once again.

Youra pulled the entire ego out of his mind. To him, the Crown Prince was only a despicable and pitiful man who knew nothing about love.

"Stop saying anything about love. You know nothing about love. You only made this living me suffer, as a shield to cover up your rot," Youa replied instantly.

Youra's answer was truly terrifying. His sharp mouth slashed a sizable wound in Princess Shin's heart.

Princess Shin got up from her weak seat, standing quickly holding onto Youra's shoulder with both hands.

"Are you the one who poisoned my sister?"

The eyes were reddened, displaying a hint of tiny veins that were already tired of crying. Keep holding onto Youra's shoulder with her scary face.

Suddenly ...

"Bring Empress Lee Youra!" the sound of the officers' steps creates a slick melody, which is creepy. They opened the door of the room by force. Then bow their bodies.

"As the last person to be in the Crown Prince's Majesty's chambers, we ask for your testimony, Your Majesty."

Princess Shin immediately froze. He removed that grip from Youra's shoulder. Stare at him and grope. "Sir, if you do it, I swear, the sky will never forgive you. And if you don't do it, I swear, the sky will punish you immediately. You are truly a man without a heart. You will regret, wasting my sister's love" whispered Princess Shin right on Youra's face.

While crying Youra smiled, "No will. Because there is no love here. All of you, are fraudsters."

Youra got out of the bed, wiped her tears and immediately followed the officers. Leaving the petrified Princess Shin, after fighting the harshness of her untouchable heart.
