Now they have reached the palace, precisely in the king's residence. Eunuch Jang was surprised to see the condition of the king who was unconscious and carried by So joon.
Unasked, eunuch Jang immediately opened the door of the king's room. And So joon went in and put the king to bed on the futon. Eunuch Jang looks very panicked and full of question marks, because he saw his visitation back with such a condition.
Eunuch Jang also glanced at the empress, her condition was no less terrible than the king. The empress looked pale and looked exhausted, her clothes also looked shabby.
" What happened to So Joon?" Ask Eunuch Jang to So joon who is examining the king's wounds.
" The story is long." So joon replied briefly.
Eunuch Jang kissed her lips for not getting the answer she wanted, because Eunuch Jang was very curious, and wanted to know exactly what happened until the three of them came home in a state of chaos.
" What was that noble empress who treated the king's wounds?" So Joon asked the empress who was sitting behind So Joon.
" Right, why is it? Is there a problem?" Rani was worried.
" No, everything is fine. Good thing your majesty knows about medicinal plants and immediately treats the wound of the king. If not, maybe your noble wound will have an infection." So joon's clear.
" Thank God that's it."
" It's best that now your highness the empress clean up first, then eat and rest. I know your majesty must be tired." Said eunuch Jang who was worried about the condition of the empress.
" Well, please prepare some water for me to take a shower!"
Eunuch Jang had already called the ladies-in-waiting to help the empress bathe and also asked for the palace's kitchen food. Of course, the ladies who saw this incident were told to shut up, so as not to spread the rumor in the palace. Moreover, the king came out of the palace in silence. So eunuch Jang did not call a healer, and only enough So joon only checked the king's wounds.
After finishing the bath and dinner, the empress asked Eunuch Jang to take one more futon for her. Due to this situation, it was impossible for the empress to sleep in a futon together with the king.
After everything was ready, the empress asked So joon and eunuch Jang to also rest. Especially So Joon, he must be tired too. Finally the eunuch and the bodyguard, bowed respectfully and walked out of the king's room. Not to forget Eunuch Jang closed the door and ordered that the ladies stay alert in front of the door.
The empress turned off the candle and prepared to sleep on her futon and then pulled the blanket up to her chest to cover her body. Rani glanced at the king sleeping next to her but with a different futon. There was worry, anxiety and pity just mixed when Rani saw the face of the king who looked calm when he was asleep and unconscious like this. Then Ranipun closed his eyes to go into the dream.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The next day the king woke up from his sleep and sat down and looked to his side and saw the queen who was still asleep in her sleep. The king smiled, as he looked at the empress' plain face while sleeping.
The sound from outside the room made the empress wake up, because the eunuch Jang called and asked permission for the empress to enter the room to bring breakfast.
Rani who just woke up rubbed her eyes first, then stretched her body wriggling pulled her hands up, then yawned and covered her mouth with her hands. Rani is still doing her habit when waking up when bored, Rani does not realize that the king is awake and sitting sweetly watching her.
Ranipun got up and sat down, then Rani blinked - rubbing her eyes. And rubbing it again, with a typical hoarse voice of waking up, Rani allows eunuch Jang to enter.
Then eunuch Jang entered with several maids carrying trays containing food and drinks. So surprised eunuch Jang when he saw the king was conscious. Eunuch Jang immediately lowered his head in respect.
" Jeonha, is she conscious?" Ask eunuch Jang who feels happy and excited.
Suddenly the empress who did not know that the king was surprised, heard the words from the mouth of Eunuch Jang. The empress turned her head to the side and daaam, sure enough the king was already sitting sweetly beside her.
The empress to gawk in disbelief, then cursed her stupidity just now. Because the empress was embarrassed, Rani continued to curse herself in the heart, because she could not get rid of her bad habits when she woke up.
" I'm so ashamed I'm anjiiir, you idiot. Then the king saw when I woke up dong? Bad habits, never say. Surely the king thought, so the empress woke up and there was no beauty - beautiful. Oh bodo time, anyways where anyone wakes up beautiful? There's a scuffed face and a stench of drool."
The king simply nodded confirming Eunuch Jang's question. " What's noble well - okay?" Ask Eunuch Jang again.
" Yes I'm fine."
" The servant only provides breakfast for the empress, because the servant does not know that the noble is awake and awake. Do I need to prepare more food for you?" Fresh eunuch Jang.
" No need, I'll eat that food, along with the empress." The king replied and then turned to the empress, then chuckled with amusement at the expression of the empress who seemed to be surprised.
Although the king did not know the empress was surprised because of what, either because of the speech of the king who would share food with him, he said, or also because the empress was upset and embarrassed because the king had caught his bad habits when he woke up.
Because usually during the queen sleep in the king's residence, the queen who always woke up first. Even if the king who woke up first, most of the king was already absent first for a meeting with the royal council. So this is the first time the king has caught on with Rani's bad habits.
The king and empress finished breakfast, they had breakfast with an awkward atmosphere and in silent mode. So it can be finished quickly. So joon immediately came to the king, after So joon heard the news that the king was conscious.
So joon came to examine the king's wounds, and applied a new medicine and replaced the king's bandage with a new cloth.
When finished, So joon gave a plaque to the king. Rajapun took the plaque, the king frowned because the plaque So joon gave was a plaque that was not foreign to the king.
The king glanced at So joon to be sure, and was replied by a nod by So joon. Means the king's thinking is not wrong about the plaque.
" How did you get this plaque So joon?" Ask the curious king.
While the empress who did not know anything was silent, sat next to the king. Then So Joon started telling me how he got the plaque.
FLASHBACK TO #
After the king and empress escaped from the plotters, So joon began to display his sword skill dubbed the demon sword. And began to eradicate one - one by one - people who were dressed all in black. Until leaving only one person, the person who has a wound.
So joon certainly did not intend to kill him at all, because that person was the key to the mastermind behind the rice hoarder group. So joon intends to just catch her and make her a sandra. Then interrogate him to extract information about the mastermind behind all this.
But ill-fated the man fled, So joon tried to chase after him but lost track of the man. But So Joon is not worried, even though he has lost the man. Because he lives looking for people who have scars on their faces and also on their faces. Because So joon's sword hit and scratched the man's face, when they were fighting.
As So joon turned around and was about to look for the whereabouts of the king and empress, suddenly So joon felt his feet stepping on something. So joon lowered his head, seeing what he was wise to. Turns out a plaque, So joon then picks it up.
So joon knew exactly about the plaque, which was a plaque of a member of the army from the minister of war and defense. So Joon decided to keep it.
" Oh so it seems." Speak the king while mangut - mangut.
" Today when me and the empress were hiding in the cave, I also heard from one of the men who was chasing us, that they were the men of the minister of war and defense."
So joon looked surprised that it turned out that the king already knew, So joon looked at the king inside, seeing if there were any injuries from the look in his eyes. Remembering the king used to love the great concubine very much. Although not necessarily the great concubine was also involved in this. But So joon did not see that, So joon only saw a sense of disappointment and anger.
" Wasn't this plaque, it's good, your honor. We have evidence to reveal the rottenness of Han's prime minister."
" It's true but if only with this plaque, obviously the evidence we have is not enough." King's words.
" There was not still that man, the man who had his cut. We'll just arrest the man, to make him a witness." So joon's proposal.
" Your Majesty, we're just looking for that man. Must be that guy around the prime minister Han." Saut empress.
" Can't, problems like this we can't solve in a hurry." Reject king.
The empress immediately became moody, and assumed that the king was defending and wanted to protect the Han prime minister, who was the father of the great concubine.
The king knew the change in the expression of the empress, Obviously the king knew what the empress was thinking about her. Not if there is a misunderstanding between them, the king also tried to explain the reason why he rejected the proposal from So joon and also the empress.
" Look, I know if we expose this matter and report to the royal prosecutor's office, it can definitely ensnare the Han prime minister. We have evidence and witnesses. But the question is, did prime minister Han do it alone? Sure didn't you? Obviously in this case it must involve a lot of people who have considerable influence in this kingdom, precisely the people who have a fairly high position in this palace."
" Our task now is to find all the allies of the Han prime minister first. As well as gathering more evidence, so that they can not evade anymore. How, do you agree with my words?"
" Servant agrees your honor." So joon replied without hesitation.
While the empress was silent, and still put on a gloomy face, although the king had explained the reason he rejected the proposal to immediately reveal the crimes committed by the Han prime minister.
" What do you think of the queen?" Ask the king, who immediately startled the empress.
" Servant agrees." The queen replied uninspired.
The king who saw the empress, still put on a gloomy face became questionable. What makes the queen not like it? He has already explained the reason.
Rani is disappointed that her action demanding justice for the grand concubine and her family for Kim so hee must be delayed. Even though Rani was happy, and hoped that with the completion of the problem that ensnared Kim so hee, she could return to modern day shock again. Since Kim so hee did not say anything, only asked Rani to give her justice. And Rani thinks with the fall of the position of the grand concubine in this palace, is a form of justice for Kim so hee.
But Rani must be breastfed and patient, because her dream to return to modern day shock must be delayed. Rani wastes her breath heavily.
Eunuch Jang re-entered the king's room, and said that the lady-in-waiting of the queen mother had come. And conveyed the message that his majesty the king and also the empress, were told to come to the queen mother in his residence. Rajapun responded to the order of the queen mother and immediately prepared.
Now that the king and also the queen were in the house of the queen mother, actually the queen was going to refuse when the eunuch Jang told her that the queen mother called the king and also herself.
Because given the condition of the king who has not fully recovered. Even his face still looks pale. But the king immediately accepted the decree from the queen mother. And now the two of them were sitting back and drinking tea with the queen mother.
" You are, yes, unfilial grandchildren. If I hadn't told you to come here, you would never have come here, visited this old man." Maki suri's.
" It's not so the queen mother, forgive the servant! Your granddaughter does not know herself. But these endings are indeed the work of the servant is piling up and the servant is very busy, so that the servant does not have time to visit the residence of the queen mother." Answer king.
" Alah alesan, I don't know. You ordered eunuch Jang to bring all your work to the house? You didn't even attend the royal council yesterday, citing illness. Chick-pick up for a new toy." Spray the queen mother.
Hearing the mother's words, the King scratched his non-itchy nape. While the empress who did not understand the meaning of the speech of the queen mother, even innocently asked back the purpose of the mother of the queen.
" What's the queen's new toy?"
" Ha.ha.ha.." The queen mother laughed with the innocence of the empress.
" I mean the king's new toy, which is you empress."
" Slave?"
" Yes, you're the queen, haven't you been living in the king's residence for a few days?"
The empress nodded, although she still did not understand the purpose of the Queen mother's words.
" Is there a sign now?" Ask the ambiguous queen mother.
" What are the signs of the queen mother?" Ask the empress who is increasingly confused by the words of the queen mother.
" Signs - signs of a spell." Whisper of the queen mother. Which the king still hears.
Bluush
The empress' face was instantly red, "Oh so this is after all, the direction of the conversation is flushed."
The empress was misbehaved and confused as to how to explain it to the queen mother. Because his relationship with the king was not that close, and their relationship was also not a stage could do such a thing. It seems the queen mother misunderstood, because the queen continued to stay at the king's residence.
" The Queen Mother is calm, if there will be a time. No need to rush." King's chirps with his leisure.
The empress immediately turned her head towards the king, frowned and squinted her eyes. " What do I mean? Speaking of playing original jeplak aja, do not use it in the filter first."
The empress was upset and lazy to respond to the words of the king who began to digress.
