The Examination of Love for a Princess

Chapter 22's

Suzy with her grim face helps Eunji and Sohee prepare everything for Myungsoo's second marriage to Sowon, said of course her heart ached to see her husband remarry and she had to accept Myungsoo's second wife well.

"Zy, you don't have to do this. You just rest let me and Sohee string these flowers together" said Eunji pitying seeing Suzy's sad face.

"Right, you don't look well, Zy. Just rest in the room I will make ginseng soup to warm your body" Sohee said as well.

"Aniya, I'm fine. I don't know if preparing for the wedding will drag this, I didn't feel this way hehe" said Suzy forced her smile.

"You were sick at that time, which helped. All also impromptu so just simple not as complicated as this"

"Perhaps because Sowon's choice of queen mother is so made as lively as possible"

"You can't get in Sowon Zy's trap, you have me. Don't let emotions get you if he's throwing a tantrum"

"Ready boss"

"Hi Suzy noona, you're fine" said Alex, who had just arrived.

"Hmmmm, I'm good"

"Is it just Suzy your number.?"

"Sorry Sohee noona. I see you're okay so I don't say anything"

"Say you choose love"

"Hehehe. Is there anything I can do to help beautiful noona-noona?"

"You're a man what a woman, clinging to us"

"Hehe"

"It looks like I'm just taking a break. My body feels hot cold and blithe."

"Let me take Noona"

"I'm going first"

"Attar Suzy safely"

"Good"

Because his body is not good enough, Suzy decided to go home with Alex. In front of the pavilion Suzy passed Myungsoo but was reluctant to say hello because Myungsoo was still upset with Suzy who said she did not love him when clearly love. Myungsoo rushes away but Alex is arrested. While Suzy went inside to rest followed by her loyal maids.

"Sir, do you want to eat something before the break" asked Jia following Suzy into the room.

"Aniya, I just want to go to bed. Can you leave me alone" Suzy replied to her two ladies who helped her change into a casual outfit.

"Nde, if there's anything just call us. We're outside"

"Hmmm. Gomawo"

Suzy stepped into her bedroom after she finished changing clothes, while Myungsoo invited Alex to chat while walking around the palace garden.

"Hyung, I know you're married because you were forced into a queen mother" Alex said.

"How did you know?" myungsoo asked, frowning his forehead.

"I'm smart enough hyung, mother and empress are already worried about this because noona is not pregnant. The queen mother also dislikes noona." Alex replied casually.

"I have no choice. Seungho and Suzy will be be beheaded if I'm not willing to marry Sowon plus no Kyuhyun hyung makes it difficult for me"

"But that doesn't mean you're forgetting your responsibility to Suzy Noona. Everyone is worried about the situation that does not eat just drink. Aren't you worried about seeing it until you ignore it"

"I was upset with him, he said he didn't love me anymore, didn't care about me loving him when he loved me. Even saying I love Sowon or not is up to how I'm not upset, it's like forcing me to marry Sowon"

"For this time please lower your ego, you feel that the person who is most hurt but actually the one who is most hurt is noona. Noona has to share his house with your new wife, noona has to have an old wife, have a family that can either be considered a brother or not and you can still say this. But fate no one will know how your heart will be. Are you going to fall in love with Sowon? Or you'll still love Suzy noona only you'll find the answer"

"How can you conclude like that? Do you keep the love for your noon" Myungsoo said in full search.

"Yaaa hyung realize what you're saying. How could you think so petty of your sister. I just suspected that if Sowon was a sneaky girl, I just wanted before your second marriage started, you'd made up with noona because I was worried about her health."alex shouted loudly in annoyance with his brother. "And think that if you were in her position, your brother would be killed by your in-laws and your in-laws forcing Suzy noona to remarry so that you and your brother could survive death. What are you gonna do ? Suzy noona of course chose her brother survived her marriage. If I were him I would do the same. It's all up to you hyung" Alex then leaves Myungsoo alone.

At 4 pm Myungsoo went to the palace place of worship, the place is located next to the palace pond. When Myungsoo was about to enter he saw Suzy praying there. Her heart was deeply moved, and Suzy, whom she had neglected, still prayed for her and her family.

Myungsoo entered, then stood behind Suzy who also closed her eyes while cupping her hands to pray.

"Lord, please forgive me for being this selfish. I'm a man of many sins and neglect of responsibility, I make the woman standing in front of me cry because of my selfish attitude, my family made him an orphan from childhood. Lord, I beg you to be happy that he will not let my heart be filled by anyone but my love for him. Many things that I want to redeem by making her happy, I married again because I was forced to. I beg you to forgive me for lying to Sowon about my sacred promise because only this woman in front of me I love. Many loved the suffering we went through together until I could not turn away from it. I'm sick of having to remarry but this is to save her life and her brother's. Lord, if my destiny is for her please tie the battery just for her, for my wife Kim Suzy"

Finished praying Myungso left immediately, Myungsoo saw Suzy still coolly closed her eyes while praying even though her tears went down her pale cheeks. Not wanting to interrupt the suzy prayer, Myungsoo left before Suzy realized that Myungsoo had prayed behind her.

Suzy returned from her prayer to be greeted by her loyal ladyboy who was waiting at the door.

"My daughter thinks you're missing because you're not coming back" Jia asked as she approached Suzy with Chaekyung.

"I prayed for a while, kept stopping by for a while to the prison to see my brother and then I got concubine Chang's dress to take from her brother's house. I can wear it to attend Myungsoo's wedding in a few days" Suzy replied showing the clothes she was carrying.

"Let me bring in the princess, do you want to take a warm bath this afternoon you must be tired" uca Chaekyung took the clothes that Suzy brought to enter.

"Can. Please prepare, Chaekyung, please prepare a hot, spicy kimchi soup, suddenly I want it"

"Good princess"

Suzy went straight into the big tub when Chaekyung finished preparing warm water for her bath.

Chaekyung and Jia prepare a meal for Suzy as Myungsoo walks into the pavilion.

"What's that for Suzy?" myungsoo asked when he saw Suzy's loyal waiter put the dish on the table.

"Prince Nde, the Princess asked for spicy kimchi soup but because some days she was not so appetizing so we wasted some other menus and some snacks that might make her tasteful. Do you want to eat also with the princess" Jia replied.

"Yes, please prepare for me too"

"Good prince"

"After preparing the food leave us both and please take care of the outside door lest anyone eavesdrop. Because there's something I want to talk to Suzy about"

"Good prince. Your orders will be executed"

Suzy exited the room to the dining area where there was only Myungsoo, reluctant to turn around when Myungsoo ran to prevent her from leaving.

"Don't go zy" said Myungsoo, holding Suzy and taking her to sit at the dinner table.

"Not that you're angry, why are you here" asked Suzy flatly.

"Eat. I'm sorry to be mad at you, but yesterday I was just upset by your attitude" Myungsoo replied, pulling up a chair to sit next to him.

"I'm sorry Myung, I'm just jealous and envious. I do not want to bear children for the palace because they killed my parents.. Just ask Sowon to give birth to your child I don't want a hyx.."

"You may my wife speak this haphazardly, if pregnant of course you should give birth to her. My love for you won't change, trust me!"

"Imagining you remarrying, hugging another woman after marriage really makes me feel claustrophobic, I don't think I'll be able to breathe. But this is for my brother's sake.. "

Myungsoo immediately hugged Suzy tightly and assured her everything would be fine. "Calm down, I won't betray our love. All I'm gonna hug is you forever"

"But it's hard for me to go through Myung. Eunji and sister even have to be far apart like this, you remarry and what fate will we experience after this? I'm really scared"

"We're going through this together don't be afraid I'll change, now eat a lot. They're preparing this for you, they're worried because you haven't eaten well lately"

"Nde. Thank you for understanding me"

Suzy finally eats with Myungsoo. Suzy's loyal ladies are happy because her daughter's master is back as cheerful as ever.

Myungsoo and Sowon's wedding day. All seemed happy except Myungsoo as a bride even look moody at their wedding ceremony held so luxurious, even many palace guests who come from several neighboring countries.

Suzy sits in her room with Sohee and Eunji with her loyal lady-in-waiting who helps her prepare to witness her husband's second marriage.

"Let's see Myungsoo's wedding?"

"Can't I just be in the pavilion. I have to prepare myself for tomorrow when Myungsoo brings Sowon here with his new wife. I think my tragedy is about to begin" Suzy said languidly.

"Let's just say Sowon is your friend too, so you don't feel like there's a burden anymore" Sohee patted Suzy on the shoulder.

"Alright, let's go see the wedding. I'm just worried about whether my sister will survive and the Queen mother keeps her promise to free her"

"Don't worry, Sungjong will drive him safely to Sokcho."

"Hmmm. I'm calm if brother gets us safely"

"Suzy, your brother is a swordsman. I'm sure there's a lot of knowledge, but since you're a palace family, he's not fighting back. Even though we were not together but saw it safe I was happy" Eunji said airily.

"Don't grieve. Let's go" take Sohee and Suzy to the main hall to see Myungsoo and Sowon's wedding ceremony.

While they go to the hall watching Myungsoo's wedding with Sowon, Sungjong, in another place, secretly leaves Seoul.

"Did Sungjong's marriage begin?" tanya Seungho looked at the palace through the window that displayed flickering flickering lights with her light.

"Nde, Suzy's sacrifice was huge for you this time. You have to take good care of yourself because you're the only Bae family left."

"Gomawo Sungjong has helped me. I'm worried about Suzy living in the palace with a cruelty that killed my father cruelly"

"Don't worry, Suzy's got Myungsoo, Sohee, Eunji and I to protect her"

"What a painful fate, father was killed by the palace but his daughter was taken by the palace and made a foster daughter, is not this coincidence that hurt Suzy plus she had to be framed like this"

"Then don't waste her sacrifice having to divide her husband for another woman to save you. Don't lose your nerve with Suzy and for the sake of your late parents you have to survive"

"Hmmm. One day if he can go please take him to Sokcho. I'll be there for a while and look for more evidence to prove that the king who ordered my father killed"

"Be careful"

"Sungjong, I'm bringing Suzy and Eunji to you"

"Okay, leave them to me. On the front border you jump, go north and I'll take south. Even though the queen mother said let you go I'm afraid she's still sending people to follow us"

"Gomawo Sungjong"

"Don't be afraid of anything because at Suzy's palace it will be safe. Get ready"

The borderline Sungjong lowers Seungho, and continues to advance his carriage while Seungho walks in the air with his martial arts towards the north.

Return to the palace celebrating Myungsoo and Sowon's wedding. The blessing began every once in a while Myungsoo glanced at Suzy who stood with Sohee, Miura and Alex on the second row of benches after the king, queen mother, empress, and concubine Chang. Eunji she helps the ladies prepare the food.

"I don't know if married in the style of the palace there is a blessing and celebration like this, it's really festive yes" said Suzy Iirih held her heart very sick.

"You used to be sick how did you know Zy. After all, we are married simply not like this whose guests from abroad all" said Sohee still hold the hand of Suzy

"Hmmm"

"It has. Don't think about it."

Suzy again looked sadly at her husband who was standing in front of the priest waiting for her bride, Sohee and Alex held her arms together to strengthen Suzy that everything would be fine.

# I didn't write a promise for her wedding because I was afraid to swipe.

As the wedding blessing was over, Suzy who couldn't stand it immediately invited Sohee back to her pavilion. Not wanting Suzy to be sad, Sohee finally wanted to accompany her in the pavilion.

"If we knew our lives would be like this, we better not go to the palace"

"The problem is that this is all happening out of our control, Zy. This is beyond our expectations. Trust in Myungsoo"

"I don't know if I can believe it or not after this. It hurts so much my heart, my body, my head it all hurts like a bomb is about to break"

"The bomb exploded Zy, not broke"

"Picture it like that"

"Mr Princess" said Jia and Chaekyubg ran up to her after opening the door to Suzy's room, where Sohee was accompanying Suzy.

"What's up?"

"Sungjong's guard said he had taken the warrior Seungho out of the palace safely"

"Zy, your sacrifice wasn't in vain, you saved Seungho's brother and all of us. As long as Seungho's brother survives then the descendants of the Bae family will not be extinct" Sohee said smilingly hugging Suzy.

"Nde. It's late in the evening they'll be in the bridal chamber"

"Your princess doesn't eat all day, we bring you tea and cake. Eat up"

"I can still have an appetite at a time like this" Suzy said staring at the food Jia and Chaekyung brought with her sadly. "Tonight must be very beautiful Sowon like the goddess Venus, they must be carrying out the ritual of eating together and drinking wine together before the wedding night begins. Sohee, why are you here you don't see the crowds of their celebration" Suzy continued as she walked back to the chair in the corner of her room.

"Suzy, I came here to keep you company not to give Myungsoo and Sowon congratulations, believe me Myungsoo will not betray you. You must be mentally ready to marry a member of the palace, today sooner or later it will happen" said Sohee who stood behind Suzy and hugged Suzy tightly.

"When today do you marry Sungjong? How are you gonna do?"

"No, but if it's for the sake of saving someone maybe I'll do the same as you do. Suzy, if you want to cry, hug me because I want to cry" Sohee said, turning Suzy's body to her and crying as she pleased.

"I want sword practice? I'm going crazy" Suzy said walking for her sword.

"can't. You can be laughed at for being out of the crowd" prevent Sohee from following Suzy.

"Tap..." Not finished talking Suzy had fainted on the floor.

"Yaa Suzy" /"mistress" Sohee and the ladies-in-waiting immediately walked over and patted Suzy's cheek that did not wake up immediately.

"Bloody princess.." panicked Jia.

"Call the healer" Sohee shouted which made Chaekyung immediately run to the palace medical room.

Chaekyung comes along with healer Liu and Miura who accidentally meet Chaekyung who frantically calls the healer to Suzy.

"Tabib what happened to my brother?"

"Please forgive the servant of the princess, daughter Suzy suffered a miscarriage. It is estimated that Russia has entered 3 months"

"What's? How could Suzy not know"

"Stressed mind factors and poor food intake keep the baby from surviving. And there's a drug that's poisoning him"

"Oh my god"

"I'm sorry princess. When you wake up give the medicine to drink so that his health will recover" said the healer who then left the Myungsoo pavilion.

"Do you have the same thoughts as me Eonni?" sohee asked at the miura who was staring at Suzy in disbelief.

"Suri's mother. This must be the plan" Miura replied.

"But we can't do anything Eonni. We can only help cheer him up right now"

"You go with Suzy. I'm going to see concubine Chang and the empress tell me this news secretly so the queen mother doesn't know"

"Be careful Eonni"

An hour later Suzy woke up and looked at Sohee who was still sad looking at her.

"What's going on?" suzy asked looking at Sohee who started crying again.

"You miscarried Zy, you're stressed out and the hyx poisoning looks like the queen mother is poisoning you slowly" Sohee replied in tears as she hugged Suzy who was dripping with tears. "Cry Zy if it makes you calm"

"I don't want to doubt, I won't lose. I'm a strong Suzy who doesn't fear anything in the face of evil loan sharks on us so facing like this I don't takit, I won't cry" suzy said stubbornly holding back her tears that wanted to come down, Sohee in front of her cried nonstop. "Sohee, I'm not crying why are you crying?" suzy continued, occasionally wiping her tears that seeped, sohee still cried as well as the two loyal maids Suzy who waited for her.

"Tonight I won't be home, we'll be like sharing a bed and sharing a story. It's been a long time since we've been married"

"I really miss our old life, even though the poor are chased by loan sharks but we are happy. Now we can eat our fill and dress well but I'm useless, even keeping my son I can't"

"As long as you can get pregnant, you can be happy. Don't think about anything that ruins your happiness. Next time you get pregnant, be careful not to play silat and act dangerous again. Can't play silat anymore"

"Even I've thought of a name for her. Jisoo she can for boys"

"If you're pregnant with a daughter we can marry her to Jungshin, if your son I'll give birth to a daughter so that we can be besan"

"But where might I have a child. If at this time only Myungsoo is staying overnight bride with Sowon"

Not done chatting there Eunji came there.

"What's Eunji?"

"I just call the ladies. They should congratulate their new mistress"

"What's? How can my lady-in-waiting have to congratulate him. I will be there to congratulate him too" said Suzy, annoyed, she woke up to the door but everything there immediately restrained.

"Suzy, if you leave then everyone will laugh at your defeat. It's only natural that if you're reckless, tomorrow everyone will talk about you, and if the Queen mother hears, she won't let you survive. If so it will be more difficult especially you are a stone of nervousness" said Sohee calm Suzy but even Sohee's hand was rejected Suzy until Sohee fell.

"Princess Sohee"

"Aooo my knee must be bleeding" Sohee said grimacing as if her knee was injured.

"Sohee are you okay" said Suzy immediately squatting over to Sohee.

"Your strong sense of where maybe I'm okay, for inside my stomach is not pregnant with a daughter-in-law for you, otherwise I would have miscarried" Sohee said with a smile on Suzy

"Sohee, you're so good. You tried to comfort me but I hurt you" Suzy said softly.

"Noona Eunji told Choi's lady that we had no time to pay respects to the new mistress" said Jia, who is a member of Chaekyung

"Go, it'll be a mess if you two don't come congratulate. You better go congratulate Suzy so I'll take care of her" Sohee orders Suzy's two ladies-in-waiting to leave.

"Good"

Suzy who was upset with Sohee took the flute she had stored away by her bedside. When Suzy blew it there was a strange incident where the wind was blowing very fast and the sound of lightning was heard when the sky looked bright. Sohee immediately snatched it because she felt the incident came from the game Suzy.

"Give Sohee back what you did" Suzy said, trying to reclaim Sohee's flute.

"Your game is discordant Kim Suzy, it's night don't make a fuss with your voice" said Sohee, who hid the flute behind her body.

"Huft I stress Lee Sohee if you don't understand, even the sky will collapse hearing the sadness of my heart"

"I know what you're feeling, but don't you feel weird about the old geezer's flute. This flute is like having power" Sohee said, lifting and turning back Suzy's flute.

"Where is it possible?" suzy said doubtfully.

"When you blow it the wind and the lightning are earthy. But you stopped the sky brightening again, look at it" Sohee said pointing to the sky.

"You're right. This flute must have great strength, it's worth it Grandpa Ma said I have to train often to be proficient"

"Hmmm. Keep it well, maybe one day it will be useful"

Meanwhile, the,

Eunji takes them to the bridal room saluting Myungsoo and Suzy. Dayang Choi ordered all the maids to salute the two brides.

"Prince and mistress, they want to congratulate you" said lady Choi to invite the ladies to salute the two brides.

"Wake up" Sowon told them.

"Thank you, prince and lady"

"Can I take a walk? I want to pay my respects to Princess Suzy?" ask Sowon.

"Looks?" answer lady Choi.

"Why?"

"It is not according to the rules let alone the daughter Suzy has just lost a child, if the mistress wants all perfect please do not go into her room" said lady Choi again.

"But I don't have a lot of rules, so I want to salute him"

"Please forgive me sassy lady Sowon. The new princess had a miscarriage, please don't bother her to rest" Jia interrupted their conversation.

"You don't have to see him. Suzy is not in good shape so just meet tomorrow. Let him rest at this time" Myungsoo said in the end.

"good. You come out late and we'll rest" Sowon orders all the ladies and gentlemen until they disperse.

"Suzy, you must hate me. It's all too complicated to get through and I don't know what I'm doing." Myungsoo said inwardly as he paced back and forth unsettled. Sowon went to change her clothes.

"Wow, change your clothes and rest. It's late" said Sowon, who had just come out of his bathroom.

"Hmmm. Rest I'm not sleepy"

"I know you're worried about your sister, but it's our first night after marriage. They're on guard outside the room so let's take a new break tomorrow think of a way"

"In the beginning I told you that you and I were victims of the mother's selfishness please makhlum. I'll go through the roof and tomorrow morning I'll come back so they don't suspect anything. Go to sleep" said Myungsoo then climbed up the roof of the room and opened the gap to make it easier to leave.

Myungsoo opened the pavilion door slowly, it was certain that it was safe that he immediately closed the door and immediately went into his room with Suzy who was on the left.

Myungsoo goes in and sees the two sleeping Suzy maids in the chair guarding her master, while Sohee does not move from Suzy's side occasionally wiping Suzy's sweat.

"How is he doing?" myungsoo tapped Sohee on the shoulder while looking at Suzy.

"Jeez Myung. What are you doing here? It's your first night how can you wander around here" Sohee said instead of answering and asked while standing up from her seat.

"You think I can calm down after they both say Suzy miscarried."

"But how can you leave Sowon alone. You can see him tomorrow, he just fell asleep after crying and playing the flute"

"How can a miscarriage? Didn't she not do anything extreme some of this time with you"

"Tabib said if Suzy is stressed, lack of nutritional intake and most importantly there are those who poison her body slowly. I was suspicious of the queen mother who administered the poison to her body while delivering morning tea for her and Sowon, but that was just my guess"

"How the Queen Mother could have."

"Agar Suzy was left out, even if we knew it was the act of the queen mother would not return your baby and your marriage to Sowon had already taken place."

"This is all beyond belief. Sowon is a tragedy for me and Suzy."

"From now on it all depends on you Myung, how do you behave after this? Now go back to your bridal room, so that things don't get any more difficult for Suzy" Sohee pinta but Myungsoo just shut up.
