< Episode 63: Queen Hwang (2) >
The classmate’s comments raised his voice.
“Uh huh, you still don’t kneel. “It’s cruel.”
In response to his shouting, Ganyang, the leader of the advance team, calmly caught his breath.
Clearly this was to seize the momentum.
If you get excited here, you will mess things up.
‘There is no choice.’
The ones who were disappointed now were themselves, not Queen Hwang.
In response, Ganyang got down on one knee, bowed his head, and bowed more respectfully.
“I know you, Queen Hwang.”
Then, the other party members caught a glimpse of Mok Gyeong-un out of the corner of their eyes.
At this, Mok Gyeong-un slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and then, like Gan Yang, he knelt down on one knee and put his hands together to bow.
The other party members who saw this also followed suit.
“I know you, Queen Hwang.”
In response to their polite greetings, their classmate, Director Jang, turned his head and looked at Queen Hwang, who was sitting at the foot of the pavilion.
I was asking for opinions on what to do.
They could have been more polite than this by bowing down, but these were Murim people.
If you keep stimulating it with unnecessary things, it could lead to disaster, so it was necessary to control the speed and intensity of pressing the energy.
Queen Hwang slightly raised her hand.
Then Director Jang spoke to those kneeling.
“Mommy has received your greeting, so please stand up.”
‘······It’s different from what I heard.’
Ganyang clicked his tongue inwardly.
I heard from Yu-bong, who was infiltrated as a eunuch in Dongchang, that Seo Seo-hyo had gained absolute power after becoming the royal consort, but since she had not forgotten the support from Cheonjihoe, she would maintain some degree of good.
But the current atmosphere was not like that at all.
Rather, it seemed as if they were trying to thoroughly look up and down.
At first, I had no choice but to accommodate since I was in the unfortunate position of having to ask for a favor, but I became increasingly concerned.
“Guests, please sit in front of the tables on either side.”
Jang So-gam pointed to a neat table with food laid out on both sides.
The main hall could be said to be the head table and the area in front of it was the lower table.
-This is why we do not interact with the royal family or palace officials. They think they are everything in the world.
The young man spoke in an irritated voice.
She was not very pleased with this position because she had experienced the period of complete inviolability by the government and martial arts during her lifetime.
Of course, Mok Kyung-un seemed to not mind this at all and silently went to the empty seat and sat down.
As soon as everyone was seated, a voice was heard from inside the hall.
“Pick up your feet.”
“Mama, how could you…”
“He told me to go up.”
“I understand.”
Soon, the court ladies inside lifted up their feet that were covering the inside of the pavilion.
Then, a feast prepared with curved legs and a beautiful woman wearing red and bright clothes with a sense of elegance and glamor appeared.
Seeing this, Nie Chun almost let out a sigh without realizing it.
Even though she was over 30, I could see why the emperor loved her so much when I saw her mesmerizingly beautiful appearance.
Moreover, as one of the four gangsters who control the power of this country, there was something that overwhelmed the atmosphere, as if one would be sucked in with the beauty.
Then she opened her mouth.
“It’s a lot of hard work to come this far.”
To this, Ganyang bowed his head and answered.
“No. mama. Rather, I just feel sorry for having to serve you in such a squalid place.”
He was trying to please everyone as much as possible.
However, Queen Hwang snorted at his words and said,
“It’s okay, this isn’t a palace, so there’s no need to say things like that.”
“······I apologize.”
It’s embarrassing.
I didn’t know which beat to go to.
If you don’t please them, they call you rude, but if you do, they call you pretense.
I couldn’t understand why she was being so sharp from the start when I hadn’t even gotten to the point.
‘There is one measure just in case.’
I didn’t want to have to write that much.
Because if I used that move, I would lose the Queen Hwang along with this incident.
In one meeting, we were told to complete our mission using all means and methods.
That means that you are willing to throw away this card.
‘But I won’t let it go that far.’
To lighten the mood, Ganyang opened his mouth with a smile on his face as much as possible.
“Mama, the duck meat here at Hwayangjeong is excellent…”
“He said you don’t have to say the right things with your mouth.”
“······.”
At her words, the expressions of not only Ganyang but also the members of the Cheonjihoe stiffened.
No matter who heard it, Queen Hwang’s tone of voice was sharp.

She still didn’t know their true purpose.
All I knew was that she was asking to be allowed to participate in ignoring the demonstration department using her authority.
She was clever and asked the office to send me reviews of the meeting.
The reason is that in the case of ignoring the Demonstration Department or the Jingui Committee, there was no justification for recommending it because even the political faction, the martial arts faction, sent the review index of a martial arts family with a reputation for being one-sided by the old faction.
‘I accepted this, but why did it become so sharp?’
I don’t understand.
However, because he was determined to endure any humiliation, Ganyang spoke as quietly as possible.
“I tried to lighten the mood with a light conversation, but I think I made Mama uncomfortable for no reason. Please be generous…”
“Okay, let’s cut it short and get to the point.”
“yes?”
“Didn’t you hear? “I said let’s get to the point.”
Ganyang frowned at Queen Seo Hwang’s words.
I had a gift prepared, and I tried to get to the point when the mood warmed up over dinner.
But I was taken aback when it suddenly came out like this.
“mama.”
“Why are you so surprised? “The idea is to discuss something that has already been discussed between us.”
“That is true, but you say it so quickly, indeed…”
“Are you embarrassed?”
“······.”
“I tried to get to the point once the atmosphere had settled down to a certain degree, but did this rain without notice distract me before it even started?”
Ganyang’s eyes narrowed at her words.
Until a little while ago, I thought it was just a matter of Lady Hwang’s temperament.
But it seemed like that wasn’t the case.
‘no way······.’
-Sigh!
Ganyang’s eyes soon turned to Yubong, who was standing next to his classmate’s eunuch, Jang Sogam.
By chance, Yubong’s eyes met, and he covered his mouth with his sleeve and smiled at him.
It seemed like ridicule.
‘!?’
Seeing this, Ganyang’s eyes trembled.
I had some doubts, but it seemed like something unexpected had happened.
‘You guy…’
When Ganyang glared, Yubong pursed his lips.
If you look at the shape of that mouth,
‘I’m sorry?’
* * *
Just a few o’clock ago.
The classmate’s chief said, patting Yubong’s shoulder as he came out of the Seohye Palace.
-Tuk-tuk!
[Good work. Have you finished reporting?]
[Yes.]
[Woohuhu. With this, Mama will trust you even more, not Eunuch Yu, but Gamseong Yu.]
[Yoo Ga-seung? What is that…]
Among the ranks of eunuchs, the highest eunuch is Taegam (太監).
And below that, it goes to Sogam (少監), Gamseung (監丞), Bongeo (奉御), and general eunuchs without positions.
Originally, Yubong was just an ordinary eunuch.
I told him with a satisfied expression on my face.
[Mama has ordered you to be promoted to your position and raise your salary due to this incident.]
Hearing Jang’s words, Yubong bowed with a bright smile on his face and showed his respect.
[Ahhh. I can only overlook it.]
I was truly happy to hear that he was a Gamseung of the 5th rank.
It was thought that through castration, they would become neither male nor female, and that they would end up living as councilors for the rest of their lives.
However, Jang Sogam pulled me up from that pit.
Just because he was a eunuch did not mean he could not become successful.
You can go even higher.
‘I’m not the person I used to be.’
Director Jang corrected his wrong thoughts.
Isn’t it possible to end one’s life as nothing more than a ganja and a low-ranking eunuch?
Yubong spoke carefully to Director Jang.
[Storage impressions······. If so, will you teach me the new herbivore as promised?]
[A new herbivore? cancer! That’s what you should do. He is said to be Jang Oh-taek’s right-hand man, so why is that difficult? Uhuhuhu.]
Yubong was excited to hear his words.
He was a super-rising imperial vision that made him stronger than Ganyang or Jade Qi in just one year, even though he had only learned deep attack and the 4-second formula.
What will happen if you master all of this?
Jang So-gam held the shoulder of the man who was shaking, probably from excitement, and said with a raised eyebrow.
[There is a lot of work to be done for Mama and Her Majesty the Crown Prince. Please continue to do this in the future.]
[Keep in mind. I will keep this in mind again.]
* * *
Looking at the shape of Yubong’s mouth, Ganyang had a hunch.
That means he turned his back on the society.
Most of those sent to Ganja undergo thorough loyalty tests.
Because if one ganja betrayed and turned against him or acted as a double agent, there would be a huge backlash.
Therefore, in addition to the loyalty test, most of the ganja who are sent to the field are banned or have various sanctions imposed on them. I don’t know what measures were used, but Yubong seemed to be free from them.
‘This is the worst.’
I really didn’t expect that a traitor would emerge in this situation.
I don’t know what Yubong said to Queen Hwang, but it became clear that the request had been put on hold.
In this case, I had no choice but to take out the last card.
Then Hwang Gwi-bi opened her mouth.
“That’s bold. “No matter how much I view you favorably, how dare you try to free a criminal imprisoned in the palace dungeon.”
“Mama, that’s…”
“That would be committing high treason.”
“······.”
Ganyang’s head became confused at her urging.
The words are different and different.
Yubong seems to have explained their purpose to her quite well.
Ganyang calmly opened his mouth again.
“mama. “How could we…”
“Close your mouth.”
“······.”
“You dared to drag Bonbi into such a high treason, and then you say you have an open mouth.”
“······.”
“You are the ones who should have nothing to say even if you are beheaded right away.”
-Sigh!
When she raised her hand, the hidden experts appeared.
I was already aware that they were hiding, so I was not surprised by this, regardless of whether they were the advance team or the late team.
The problem was that things were just messed up.
The corners of Queen Hwang’s mouth twitched as she looked at their perplexed looks.
She recalled a conversation she had with a middle-aged man in a gray official uniform on her left, as well as a comment from her classmate a few o’clock ago.
* * *
[mama. How about trying to use this in reverse?]
[Jang’s thoughts. What does that mean?]
[If you grant their demands, you could end up becoming a big deal to both your mother and the Crown Prince.]
[Who doesn’t know that? However, since they have supported this monument since their noble days, they may have something that could be a weakness, even if it is just a speck of dust.]
[So, you must take advantage of this situation.]
At these words, Queen Hwang looked puzzled and asked.
[What do you mean?]
[In any case, for the sake of His Majesty the Crown Prince’s future, you must cut off ties with such robbers. This will serve as sufficient justification.]
[Justice?]
[yes. First, we need to suppress their momentum and break their morale.]
[Suppress the steamship?]
[They too will approach this request cautiously because they know how much it means to Mama. However, if Mama strikes first, they will be in trouble as well.]
[Even so, do you think you will give up easily?]
[Of course not.]
[If we do that, what happens next?]
[After suppressing the initiative, if you clearly realize that their demands are unreasonable, make the opposite demand.]
[Make a request?]
[Yes, that’s right. According to what Eunuch Yu, or rather Gamseung Yu, said, they will definitely try to accomplish their mission, so they will have no choice but to comply with any request.]
[Hoo. Keep talking.]
[Then, Mama, make a request to those who have been suppressed. I am telling you to take the life of either His Majesty the King or His Concubine.]
King Jong (棕王).
He was the second prince and originally the most likely candidate for crown prince.
Although it is said that Queen Dowager Seo’s child was appointed crown prince, there were still many ministers who followed him, so he was nothing more than a thorn in his eyes.
And Lady Gwibi (貴妃).
It hasn’t been that long since she entered the imperial palace.
A young woman who was only a court lady, without any support behind her, bewitched the emperor with her looks alone and rose to the position of concubine in just three years.
Although she said that the emperor’s favor was still more towards her, she was still young at 22 years old and she was now approaching her mid-30s.
Because she never knew when this balance would collapse, she was the person she wanted to kill the most.
These two tried several times to deal with it, but failed every time.
In the case of King Jong, it was inevitable because there were many followers, but I couldn’t understand it at all when it came to Lady Ho.
[Let them take the lives of kings and queens?]
[That’s right.]
[What if I refuse this?]
Would the Heaven and Earth Council really be willing to take on such a risk?
This was a very dangerous thing for them as well.
[I needed an excuse to end my relationship with them anyway, so you can use this as an excuse.]
[Hoo. If you listen, it will be beneficial.]
[That’s right.]
[But if that happens, this rain will also have to help them. So what do you do if you get caught up in this?]
[Please don’t worry about that.]
[Don’t worry?]
[If they comply with the request and succeed in taking the life of the Queen Mother or His Highness the King, they will definitely be able to deal with it by tying it to the crime of trying to escape from prison.]
A middle-aged man in a gray official uniform, who had been listening to Jang’s words, opened his mouth.
[If that happens, we will protect Mama and Her Majesty the Crown Prince from the evil Four Sects, the Cheonjihoe.]
* * *
The corner of Queen Hwang’s mouth slightly turned up.
Everything was perfect.
I am grateful to Cheonjihoe for supporting me in both material and spiritual ways until I reached this position.
But that was all.
I know that the reason they provided support like this is to use the crown prince and themselves behind the scenes in this way.
Therefore, you can just use it properly one last time and then get rid of it.
For this purpose, he asked them to send a proper review index so that they could never back down from their work.
‘No matter what happens, you will be playing in the palm of my hand.’
Queen Hwang looked at her classmate, Superintendent Jang, who was on her right.
The meaning was to definitely suppress them.
Then, Superintendent Jang nodded his head slightly and made a similar gesture to the middle-aged man in a gray official uniform on his left.
The person pointed at with that glance was none other than Mok Gyeong-un.
The middle-aged man nodded and pulled half of the Yuleop sword from his waistband.
-Sreung!
The middle-aged man remembered what Yu Bong and Yu Gam-seung had said.
[There is no one in the selection team that will be a big problem. However, two of the latecomers are the biggest problem.]
[Who is that?]
[This is a man named Mok Gyeong-un and Jae-jeong Jeong, a magician.]
[A fortune teller?]
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but be surprised at those words.
Jae-jeong Jeong, a fortune teller, was notorious as a member of the Samgwang (三狂) group.
No matter how confident he was, if he were to compete with him, it would probably take hundreds of seconds before it was decided.
[Hohoho. Don’t worry. We will do everything we can to prevent Jae Jae-jeong, the fortune teller, from coming. However, the man named Mok Gyeong-un must be subdued by Great Man Pang.]
[Is he that great?]
[If you look at the fact that Jae-jeong Jae-jeong is following him, he must be at least on a level higher than that.]
[Hmm. That’s amazing. He is one step ahead of that crazy apostate monk…]
However, what is felt as a sense of energy is only at the level of a fully ripe climax.
I heard that he was a person who knew how to hide his inaction, but since he was a young kid who had not even signed a contract, I even wondered if that was true.
It’s not easy to believe that a kid like that is a step above a boxing horse expert.
‘There’s no harm in being careful.’
Even in Jeongdo Moorim, there are geniuses who are so-called late Jisoo but boast great inaction.
You can think of it as competing with those people.
No matter how good he was, he had experience and experience.
I thought that if I didn’t let my guard down, I could easily subdue him.
furthermore,
‘If anything goes wrong, just call support.’
Outside, his younger brother is waiting to help.
Although he was younger than himself and his behavior was a bit frivolous, his brother’s inaction was a level above his own, which had taken him to a government post.
-Sigh!
So, shall we start subduing the steamer?
A middle-aged man in a gray official uniform tried to pull out a half-pulled leaf blade.
At that time, Mok Kyung-un laughed and picked up a piece of fried duck meat on the table with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Then he chewed, swallowed, and spoke.
“It’s delicious.”
At this, everyone’s eyes turned to Mok Gyeong-un.
Even though it was an imminent situation, even Queen Dowager snorted at the absurdity of how carefree she was alone.
Is that child with outstanding off-white color the best expert among the reviews sent by Cheonjihoe that his classmate Yoo Gam-seung mentioned?
The young guy seems bold, but he doesn’t seem to understand the situation.
-Sigh!
Lady Hwang nodded at the middle-aged man in gray official uniform.
In response, he pulled out his sword and approached Mok Gyeong-un with strong force.
“Mama is urging you, but you are being cruel.”
“I feel like the conversation is getting too long with delicious food in front of us.”
“That’s blasphemous.”
“I wasn’t particularly complaining. Is it such a big disrespect to just taste the food?”
“······Put down those chopsticks and kneel right now.”
“I only ate one piece, but you’re acting so mean.”
“under!”
You seem so confident in your own inaction, right?
Well then, let’s see how great it is.
The middle-aged man in the gray official uniform took a long breath, then raised his power to the 8th level and swung the sword with a violent force towards Mo Kyung-un’s neck.
-Chaaaaaaaa!
The middle-aged man naturally assumed that Mok Kyung-un would jump backwards to avoid this.
however,
-Chaang!
‘!?’
At that moment, the middle-aged man could not hide his embarrassment.
That was because Mok Gyeong-un was able to catch the blade of his Yuyeopdo with chopsticks.
‘What the hell is this guy?’
He looked embarrassed, but Mok Gyeong-un looked not at him, but at Gan Yang, the leader of the advance team sitting across from him, and raised the corners of his mouth and said.
“I think it’s wrong to stay still. “Isn’t that right?”
