The Examination of Love for a Princess
Chapter 20's
Seungho arrived at Lee's secretary's house at 10am after staying overnight at Ma Donghyun's old grandfather's house, he wanted to go to the palace with Sohee because it was not nice if she came alone. No matter if he is tired or not after a long journey, but for him to meet the younger brother is very important.
Sohee walked into Myungsoo's pavilion with Seunghoo, just then Suzy was daydreaming while making abstract paintings.
"Zey"
"Sister, I miss you" said Suzy who immediately ran over to her brother. Eunji also stood up to Seungho who came with Sohee.
"Nado, I want to tell you something important Zy" said Seungho, letting go of their arms and taking his sister to a seat.
Sohee who walked behind Seungho immediately closed the door so that no one eavesdropped, in fact Sowon secretly eavesdropped around the room after the door to Suzy's room was closed by Sohee from inside.
"Where's Myungsoo?" ask Seungho who found Suzy himself since then.
"He went to prepare a place to study Sowon, it seems like the queen mother intends to match them" Suzy replied with her pouting face.
"Being a prince is used to having many wives, you should be ready if Myungsoo remarries more than once. It's your risk to marry into the family from the palace" Seungho teases Suzy, who makes Sohee smile at Suzy's annoyance.
"You're the same as everyone else. I want to get married just once in my life and I don't want to be combined, I hate being cheated on by my sister. Although he is a prince if he wants to marry again then divorce me first huft" said Suzy annoyed to fold her hands in the chest.
"Yaaa Kim Suzy, don't talk carelessly. If anyone hears of danger, Sowon is in the back room, if you shout it will be heard by him" Sohee scolded.
"alright. What does sister want to talk about? My sister said something important"
"Come here? After the trip from Daegu I went back to Uncle Sokcho's house, but uncle told me about his investigation into our parents. He told me about some of Zy's possibilities"
"Then brother?"
"Then I met people who were friends of our father as palace guards first, they testified that the father was brutally murdered and the mother who could not hold his heart ended her life. I left you to Concubine Kim who was still in Ilsan, who then invites mother aga you are taken to Daegu with him and Sohee secretly but to divert you from the pursuit of the court criminals mother suicide by burning yourself in the middle of the field so that those criminals think you're dead together. I was the one who was brought by uncle to move to Sokcho when my father was sentenced to be beheaded, our uncle said we were separated because at least if I die chased to Sokcho there are still you who can survive but it turns out they stopped chasing after mom died. But when I looked for more information, it turns out that the one who killed my father was a hitman who was ruled by king Hwanhee because his order was written there is a palace stamp that hamya owned by the king"
"What!"
"I didn't believe it at first, but as I searched for the killer to the border region, there was a bit of a quarrel but he finally confessed that he did kill our king-ruled father through a letter from an official working in the palace law"
"Then should we how brother?"
"He must be paid for life, I must kill the king in order to avenge the death of our parents who were killed with disrespect and make us orphans since childhood"
"But Seungho's sister, Suzy loves Myungsoo and Myungsoo loves her too. They love each other how you might kill her in-laws" Sohee exclaimed. "I don't know why like this, if I knew I wouldn't let Myungsoo marry Suzy, I was wrong for not wanting to split with Suzy to get them tied up"
"I don't know what to do? Why should yangmulia. He's been nice to me but I won't let him live even if he's my father-in-law, he's killed my father."
"I know Sohee though she's your father, and I'm so grateful she loves me. He's also good to me but this grudge won't subside before it's avenged"
"Sir Seungho I know you're a grudge, but try to re-examine Bae's father's death, which led to Bae's mother's suicide. Is there no possibility that the king is slandered. Try to find more info? I know you're a good man who can't possibly kill people with origins"
"Well, I'm going to investigate it once again because you and the spiritual experts we met in the bazaar used to suggest so too. If it's proven that the king killed my father then I don't care if he's good to you, lives still have to be paid for with lives"
"You met that crazy grandpa, brother? He was a talkative ngawur, even I was given a flute by him"
"I took shelter there last night when it was raining in the woods, I accidentally saw a house and it turned out to be his house. Just keep the flute who knows when it's useful"
"It has. Let's meet Eunji, he'll be glad you came. Myungsoo and Sungjong will also be happy to see you coming here" Sohee asked to end their conversation.
Sowon who knew they were leaving, just as soon as she ran towards the queen mother pavilion to report the results from eavesdropping on her. He came out safely because Suzy's lady-in-waiting was not on the doorstep so it was easier for her to leave immediately.
"Yangmulia, there's important news. This is very bad" said Sowon who ran to the queen mother without paying respect.
"What's wrong? Until you run like a demon chasing like this. Diistana is forbidden to run like this"
"Mianhae yangmulia."
"What's wrong? Gawat, what's up Sowon? Tell me"
"Sister Miss Suzy wants to kill king Hwanhee"
"APA" cried the queen mother to hear Sowon's words.
"Nde, I was eavesdropping on them. Miss Suzy's sister seemed to be very angry at the king that caused their parents to die, but Miss Sohee managed to calm down her anger. Looks like their parents were vilified and executed by mama in this palace"
"Hmm so, I have a good idea Sowon" said the housewife smiling cunningly.
"What good idea is mom, if I may know?"
"Good idea that will get you married to Myungsoo soon hahaha"
"But mama, there's no need to be this fast. I just moved in today"
"Of course not this fast, I will investigate them first and then arrest Suzy, Sohee and Seungho into the palace prison. Then I'll trade them for your and Myungsoo's wedding. Myungsoo loves Suzy very much and she loves Sungjong so it is impossible for Myungsoo to sacrifice Suzy and Sohee. Seungho Suzy's brother so Myungsoo won't have a choice anymore. You just need to prepare yourself? Make Myungsoo love you and give birth to a prince then Suzy will be eliminated, you will be the queen if you succeed in making Suzy lose"
"But mama, I do like Prince Myungsoo but it feels impossible to make him love me. Especially in a short time"
"There is no need for love to produce Sowon's child, as long as you give the prince's palace as soon as possible then Suzy will game over. Do all your work and I'll get her kicked out of the palace and you'll be empress in her place hahaha"
"Okay mom, your orders will be executed"
"Good, go back to Myungsoo's pavilion before Suzy's loyal lady-in-waiting sees you complaining to me. Be as ordinary as nothing happens"
"good. I am yangmulia"
"Go"
After Sowon left, the queen mother smiled cunningly because the opponent had been in sight and ease all her desire to get rid of Suzy immediately. "My plan is getting easier because the prey is already in front of the target without being chased, so just catch hahaha"

Suzy, Sohee and Seungho go to the palace library looking for Myungsoo and Eunji who prepare the palace book that Myungsoo will use to teach Sowon.
"We came" cried Suzy who made Eunji and Myungsoo turn to her.
"Seungho"/"Eunji" said the two at the same time and ran for a hug.
"I miss you Seungho"
"I miss you too Eunji"
"You didn't come say anything to Seungho, we could do a welcome for you or maybe pick you up" Myungsoo asked, letting Seungho Eunji's arms loose and looking at him.
"I need to be suddenly in the city of Seoul, so come here without filing" Seungho replied as he sat in front of Myungsoo.
"Have anything serious happened to you?"
"Hope you find the killer soon"
"I killed the killer, I'm looking for the mastermind behind the planning. As per the instructions he was in the palace, I hope not king Hwanhee but I still doubt"
"May we find the mastermind soon, however they are my in-laws"
"Sungjong isn't here?"
"He was with Lee's father escorting the king of Hwanhee to a meeting in the Incheon area"
"You seem to be busy with Eunji here?"
"We prepared a book for Sowon that would be the lady-in-waiting of the queen mother, she was the girl that the queen mother brought from Ansan while visiting her friend."
"Suspect girl betrothed to you, be careful who knows that the queen mother wants you to marry her hahaha"
"Be careful if he dares to betray me. I won't want to talk to her again huft" Suzy threatened with a pouty face that made her adorable.
"It's your privilege to marry prince Zy hahaha" Sohee's god.
"Stay, ish, why do you all support him but no one understands me"
"Relax Zy I will not wish for your love, even if I am forced to marry her but my heart is only for you" Myungsoo said firmly, making Suzy smile shyly.
"Haha"
In Incheon.
King Hwanhee with Sungjong and his father after a 3-hour journey.
"Sungjong, rest first in the next room, I'll call you if there's anything I need. And secretary Lee, please accompany me for a little chat before meeting with the tax man"
"Good noble"/"Good noble"
Sungjong leaves King Hwanhee's room, Seketarise Lee is still silent until King Hwanhee begins a ceremony after thinking for a moment.
"Secondary Lee"
"Nde yangmulia, what's wrong? Looks like something's making you nervous"
"You've seen the girl that the queen mother brought, I suspect the queen mother is looking for another wife for Myungsoo especially Suzy who did not get pregnant again after 2 years passed."
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm afraid Suzy can't get pregnant again. If Myungsoo remarries then what is Suzy's fate, considering Suzy is not an easily arranged girl like Sohee and Miura. But she's a cheerful girl, I'm just worried that she's fared like concubine Kim"
"Don't worry the noble, Consort Chang was also recently given Alex. The palace doctor said no need to worry so you don't be pessimistic about Suzy. I believe Suzy is a good girl to carry herself, although there will be pros and cons if Myungsoo remarries. But hopefully the girl the queen mother brought is good so it will not cause problems if she becomes a second wife, but if the girl is greedy then another glorious story"
"You're right. May such a painful tragedy as that of concubine Kim who was unjustly slandered not happen again."
"Nde, what time is my meeting with the tax man?"
"Jam 2 lunches glorious"
"alright. There's 2 hours left. Use it for rest"
"Nde, I'm sorry yangmulia"
"Go"

Some days Myungsoo taught Sowon to understand the ways of adaptation of the palace, because Sowon was diligent then he quickly mastered compared to Suzy. The queen mother would be very disappointed if Eunji came with Myungsoo to teach Sowon.
"Eunji, you're here too. Why not help Suzy study" the queen mother said when she saw Sowon studying in the palace library.
"Okay noble commandment I will carry out. I'll be there then. Excuse me" said Eunji immediately left.
"Why did you come here?" ask Sowon who is still learning to sit at the library table opposite Myungsoo.
"I'm just checking. Did Myungsoo and Eunji study you well" replied the Queen Mother sitting next to Myungsoo.
"of course. Prince Myungsoo taught me well"
"What do you doubt about me. Teaching Suzy a slower course I can afford" Myungsoo said flatly.
"All right, I won't interfere. Continue to learn"
"Hemmm"/ "Be careful"
In the Pavilion Suzy studied in Myungsoo's private library while daydreaming about Seungho's words about the death of his father who was killed and his mother who committed suicide because of the actions of king Hwanhee.
Suzy is dizzy herself, she is heartbroken but nevertheless the king is her in-law. Myungsoo her husband, is he able to repay the king's kindness which turned out to be the cause of his parents' death.
Suzy put her head on the table when Eunji entered the library that she had frequented.
"You why Zy? Learn but put your face down like this" asked Eunji who was sitting in front of him.
"I'm stres Eunji. How could a good king be my parents' killer. He caused my parents to die"
"What's? How is it possible"
"Sister who recounted after investigating him. I confused? Ever since I was told I felt emotion when I saw the king, my hands were itching to beat him"
"Prophe Zy. This may be a misunderstanding. Where's Seungho? Let me talk to him"
"He's at Lee's current secretary's house. He's thinking too"
"I'll talk to him. Don't think too much. You have to learn how to write poetry before the queen knows you're lounging."
"Otakku dead-end, where can I write a verse from the poem that the queen mother intended"
"Sowon alone can learn quickly when you first live in the palace lost to him, let's quickly start I will help you learn"
"good. Gomawo Eunji's"
"Suzy Cheonma"
