After they came out of Kim's prime minister's residence, the empress accidentally bumped into someone while walking.
The empress who had fallen sat down groaned in pain, then looked at the person who had hit her. A big, tall man, dressed in all black and wearing a face cover. The man looked down apologizing, then left and walked in haste.
The king and So joon helped the empress to stand up, but strangely the empress was silent as a daze, the empress seemed to be thinking about something, and it made the king and So joon look confused.
" Are you okay - what's the empress?" Asked the king while patting the empress on the shoulder.
" That's your honor, that man." Said the empress stammered, with trembling hands, the empress pointed towards the person who just hit her.
The king raised one eyebrow, not understanding the meaning of the words - said the empress. " That guy who just hit a servant, he has a cut on his thin." The empress said.
Then the king and So joon compactly looked towards the direction that the empress pointed, but unfortunately many people were passing by. And that made the king and So joon did not know which person, the empress meant.
" Which one is the queen?" Ask the king to make sure.
" That's wearing black." Answer the empress who has begun to awaken.
The king and So joon looked directly at the person mentioned by the empress, So joon immediately rushed to follow the person, so as not to miss his tracks.
Similarly to the king, he immediately held the empress' wrist, and pulled her to follow the man.
That person walked very quickly, So joon and the king were also no less fast, so as not to lose track of the person, while the empress looked gnawed following their steps. Even though his hand was still held by the king.
The three of them continued to follow the black-clothed man, until it did not feel like they were already in the forest. The king and So Joon recognized where they were at this time, the forest they had come to yesterday to make the king get an arrow wound on his arm.
The king rubbed his face in frustration, as they lost track of the man in black. But the king realized, that their current location was not far from the hut they came to yesterday. The king removed his hand from the empress, then asked the empress to sit under the tree to rest for a while.
" So Joon, it looks like we're not far from the location of the hut we went to yesterday?" The king said with confidence.
" Right, your majesty, it looks like it's around here." So Joon replied while watching the forest.
" The servant was sure there must be something in the hut, and the man was one of the plotters of the rice hoarder." So Joon said as he raised his suspicions.
" If so, let's try to get there! The hut's location, who knows we'll find a clue there." King's proposal.
" Good, your honor, let's get there."
The king again clasped the empress' hand, then led her back to follow where the king and So joon were going.
Now they had arrived in front of the hut they were heading to. The king intruded So joon to immediately enter the warehouse, to check the contents in the warehouse. So joon nodded obediently, and immediately held the doorknob, but when So joon was about to open the door of the hut, he held the door, suddenly there was an arrow that floated and landed stuck right beside the doorknob.
So joon, the king and empress were shocked by the appearance of arrows that arrived - arrived. They immediately turned their bodies upside down, how shocked they were at the sight of some people dressed in all black, with faces covered by cloth already encircling them and ready to attack using swords.
The empress was clearly instantly frightened, her face instantly pale and her body was also trembling. Because this is the first time Rani has seen and experienced something like this in person.
The king asked the empress to take shelter behind him, not risking Ranipun directly according. If this is a drakor, maybe Rani will sit down and enjoy every action scene presented in front of her, while eating her favorite snack. But now what happened in front of him is real, just a little life at stake.
The king and So joon had already picked up the horses ready to fight. While the empress hid behind the king's back while biting her nails to eliminate the fear of him.
The king who realized that the empress' body was trembling with fear tried to calm her down. " You take it easy, empress, trust me and So joon. I promise you we'll be fine and get back to the palace safely."
" Alright, I entrust everything to your majesty." Reply Rani terbata
Actually Rani was a little hesitant, because obviously they were outnumbered by the men in black who were surrounding them. But the doubt was hurriedly brushed aside by Rani, Rani tried to believe in the sword ability of the king and also his loyal bodyguard, So joon.
Because usually if in the drama must be the sword ability of a king must be very good and invincible, let alone his personal bodyguard, surely his ability is not a can. Yes, the king's bodyguards have ordinary abilities.
At least Rani continues to suggest his mind with positive thoughts, it is not funny the period of the female lead, and the male lead died because he was surrounded by antagonist stooge minions.
Now the men dressed in all black had started attacking, So joon had also taken out the sword that was beside his shirt, the sword heirloom that he always carried wherever he went. And started fighting, against several people who directly attacked him simultaneously.
While the king with his bare hands, directly hit the wrist of one of the men in black who came attacking him. Then took over the man's sword, then kicked him in the stomach until he fell down.
Rani just looked at him in horror, and was always vigilant if anyone approached her. The king continued to fight to help So Joon defeat the people in black clothes, until he forgot that his arm was still injured and not fully healed.
Deftly the king swung his sword to attack each opponent, but the ill-fated wound that had begun to dry was now opened again.
The king began to feel a pain in his arm, and made his sword movements not as agile as usual. But the king tried to endure the pain in his arms and continued to fight the people - people dressed all in black, which seemed endless.
Suddenly the king heard the queen's scream, the king turned his face and saw that the empress was being smothered in the mouth by one of the men in black. The king panicked, wanting the king to come directly to the empress and beat up the man, but unfortunately could not because the many people who were attacking him as if deliberately making the king busy so as not to save the empress.
Rani is obviously afraid of the man who is now smothering his mouth, but Rani does not want to resign, because Rani also saw the king and So joon is struggling to defeat them. Rani does not want to be used as an excuse to pressure the king and So joon to surrender. And become their weakness.
Rani tries to mutate when her mouth is smothered with the man's hand and the other hand holds Rani's hand and locks her back.
Rani continued to thrash - ronta, but her power was defeated strongly. Until finally Ranipun decided to bite the man's hand. The man groaned in pain from the bite from Rani, and released his freeze.
Not wanting to lose the opportunity, then Ranipun stomped on the man's feet and then rewarded the death elbow to the man's death, making the man groan even more in pain.
Ranipun immediately escaped from the man's embrace. The king saw the empress who could escape from the defender of the man in black clothes was relieved. But it seemed like the king was already overwhelmed by the people - people dressed in black who continued to attack him nonstop. Eventually, the king decided to flee with the queen.
The king immediately approached the empress, and took her hand and ran as fast as he could. Escape leaving So joon alone.
The empress was worried about So joon, but the king assured the empress that So joon would be fine. The black-clothed men came after them, but they continued to run through the forest holding hands.
They do not know which direction they are going, the important thing is they continue to run so as not to be caught by the pursuit of those people.
The king and empress found a cave whose entrance was filled with vines, in fact they accidentally entered the cave, because actually they are hiding behind bushes to avoid chasing people.
But accidentally the empress was plunged into the cave, until finally they both decided to hide in the cave. Because it looks like it will be safe, because the cave door is filled with vines, and can fool people who see it.
It turns out that their guess was correct, the people who were chasing them did not know that there was a cave there. They continued to search for the existence of the king and also the empress. The king and the empress sat quietly, with their ears wide open, so that they could hear the movements of those people outside the cave.
" They're not here, where are they going?" Say one of them.
" It could be very bad if the minister of war and defense knew about this." Oceh was a man standing in front of the cave mouth.
" So quickly find them! Don't let them get away." Bait the men from their herd in an annoyed tone.
" Let's hunt down there! maybe they ran that way."
After making sure it was safe, the king and empress breathed a sigh of relief. The king looked a little dazed, as if he could not believe what he had just heard. While Rani is not too surprised, because she can guess and expect it, that the mastermind behind all this is the father of the great concubine, namely prime minister Han.
Rani's guess certainly did not miss, all of that thanks to the drakor storyline that he always watched. Rani smiled triumphantly, because soon the family of the great concubine will get a reply for their actions and Ranipun was relieved to be able to keep his promise to Kim so hee to uphold justice against him.
Because Rani believes, the case that surrounds the prime minister Han will certainly also affect the grand concubine. Rani is also happy because she does not need to be tired - tired to dismantle the rottenness of the Han family.
Rani looked at the strange king, because now the king was sitting limp as if helpless until his forehead sweat a lot.
" *Cih, until she's in shock. Hearing the fact that the father of the woman he loved ma*mpu did such an act of disrespect."
Rani continued to watch the king closely, then Rani's eyes were perfectly rounded when she saw the king's arm bleed so much that the king's sleeve was wet with blood.
Ranipun was worried and confused about what to do. Rani rubbed her face in frustration, then wanted to get out of the cave. But Rani's hand was prevented by the king.
" Where are you going, empress?" Ask the king in a weak voice.
" I'm looking for a medicinal plant."
" Outside dangerous, you better stay here! We wait for So joon to come here to pick us up."
Rani frowned, "Your highness, your noble wound should be treated immediately. And if we just keep waiting for So joon here, there we'll die horribly in this cave."
" How can So Joon know if we're here, that's right. Except here there's a handpone and we can sharelock." Omel Rani who was so anxious and inexhaustible with the speech of the king who made no sense.
Now it was the turn of the king who felt confused and did not understand the words of the empress, with a clear face and weak energy, the king still held the hand of the empress. Inevitably the empress resigned and sat back next to the king.
The king continued to groan in pain, but tried to endure it. So that the empress would not worry about him. But even though the king continued to endure the pain in his arms, the empress still knew that in fact the king continued to moan in pain.
" It hurts, but it's stubborn. Anyway I have to find a medicinal plant, guess - guess in this forest there is no plant that can treat wounds? No matter what, it is important to treat the wound. But all I know is that plants grow in Indonesia."
" Iodine plants, duck cocor, aloe vera, taro leaf stems and binahong leaves. All of that is a plant that thrives in Indonesia, a plant that can treat wounds. Is it possible that the plant also grew in this forest? If there is, where should I look? This vast forest, especially if I am captured by them, could be dangerous. It is not possible that I will leave the king alone, let alone in this condition."
Rani continues to be immersed in her own thinking, until the king's coughing voice rushes Rani from her daydream.
" Uhuk."
" Are you okay - what's your highness?" Rani asked who was starting to panic.
" I'm fine - what, uhuk.uhuk."
" Your Majesty, please allow the servant to go look for medicinal herbs!"
" But in the woods this dangerous empress, how about you get caught by them?"
The queen was pensive, confused as to what to do. Then Rani observed the vines covering the mouth of the cave, Rani observed carefully and walked closer to the plant.
" What are you doing empress? Are you gonna keep going, and leave me here?" Ask the king in his weak voice.
But the empress ignored the king's question, and continued to observe the plant. Then Rani picked some leaves from the plant, then pounded them.
" Your Majesty, look at the glorious wounds." Said Rani who was already squatting in front of the king.
But the king did not respond to Rani's words, it seems that the king has begun to lose consciousness. Without the aba - Rani immediately tore the king's sleeve and put the leaves that he had mashed on the king and wrapped it with the cloth that Rani had torn.
Rani wiped the sweat that kept pouring on the king's face. Somehow Rani felt sad and pity, when she saw the state of the wounded king like this.
Rani sat down next to the king, and leaned the king's head over his shoulders. It does not feel Rani fell asleep because of the soy sauce. But suddenly Rani woke up because she heard footsteps approaching the cave.
Rani's heart was beating erratically. " Is it possible that they are still looking for me as well as the king? Do they know where we are now?"
Rani tries to wake the king, but the king is still unconscious, and it makes Rani more panicked and confused. Rani was really scared, because the sound of footsteps was getting closer. Rani continued to look at the mouth of the cave, until suddenly the plants in the mouth of the cave were removed by a sword.
Rani's eyes widened in disbelief, that the hiding place of herself and also the king can be known by that person.
Rani's previously tense face finally turned into a softened face and accompanied by a smile full of relief, rani's heart that had been pumping the marathon finally began to beat normally again when Rani saw the figure who stepped closer towards her and also the King.
Because that person is So joon, Rani was stunned to not believe that So joon could find them. Although Rani does not know how So Joon can find them, the important thing now is that he and the king can survive.
" Your Majesty, sorry I was late to find your majesty." Said So joon while looking down saluting.
" It's okay, I'm glad that you survived too."
" How is the king's majesty?" So Joon asked when he saw the king unconscious.
" It seems like it's better, because the wound opened again and shed a lot of blood.But I've treated."
" Okay, we'd better get back to the noble palace. What noble is still able to walk?"
" Yes I still can, you don't have to worry about me So joon. You better help me get the king!"
" It is better that the king let the servant carry him, and the noble empress can walk after the servant, it will be much easier and faster for us to return to the palace." So joon's proposal.
The empress agreed to So joon's proposal, and they immediately rushed back to the palace before it became dark. Because if the sun has set, it will be dangerous to walk in the forest in the dark.
