Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 243

There were two officials rushing to the Geumui Committee.

They were Bae Jang (直長), a 7th rank Naeuiwon, and Jo Chambong (參奉), a 9th rank Naeuwon.

Bae Jong-jang, with sleepy eyes, spoke in an irritated voice.

“If that isn’t true, then you have to be prepared.”

“Really. “I even checked the major arm veins.”

“Huh. “This person.”

Workplace Bae shook his head.

That’s because Mok Gyeong-un, a cadet from the demonstration unit who was hospitalized at the clinic, was not in a state where he could wake up or improve in a short period of time.

But how can the Mac return to its original state in just one night?

I don’t know where I left my brain, perhaps because I was tired after being on duty at night.

‘Hello nonsense.’

I was planning to make a big fuss.

As they came near the clinic, they saw someone squatting outside and dozing off.

It was a stir.

“You old bastard.”

Jo Chambong saw him and urged him.

Yakdong was startled by this and jumped up from his seat like a soldier holding a standard.

Then, when he found Bae Jang and Jo Chambong, he looked embarrassed and said,

“I, my friends.”

“I told you to take care of my patient, but you ended up making a fuss.”

“Well, that’s not it.”

“What do you mean it’s not? right now······.”

“There’s a guest inside now.”

“customer?”

Why are you a guest out of nowhere?

I was puzzled, but Yakdong spoke carefully.

“Seochang’s thoughts are that it will be better.”

“Do you feel better?”

At those words, Bae Jang-jang and Jo Cham-bong looked at each other and could not hide their puzzlement.

Among the eunuchs of Xichang, the position of magistrate could be considered a high position, enough to assist the royal family directly.

But how did those feelings come to be a member of the National Assembly?

So they hurried inside to see what was going on.

Cho Chambong, who was at the forefront of those who entered, looked around.

Then, I couldn’t hide my embarrassment when I saw a bed.

“omg!”

Seeing him so surprised that he took a picture of his butt, Bae Jang and Yak Dong also looked there.

however,

“Hi!”

“What is this!”

The reason they were so surprised was simple.

This was because something cut into dozens of pieces was placed on the bed where the patient was supposed to be lying.

As lawmakers, they could immediately sense what it was.

It was none other than a dismembered body.

The sight was so terrible that they were at a loss as to what to do.

As I was so shocked and didn’t know what to do, I heard a rustling noise coming from somewhere.

At this, they turned their heads at the same time.

It was in front of the medicine cabinet where various medicines were stored, and someone wearing a red official uniform was seen in front of it.

“Will I get better?”

Yakdong called him without realizing it.

Then, someone in a red official uniform turned his head and smiled eerily in the shadow of the flickering lantern.

‘!!!!!!’

* * *

Bigyeong Palace.

This was the palace where King Gyeongchin, one of the four powerful figures in the country, lived.

Originally, King Gyeongchin was ruling the Sacheon region as a royal relative, but the emperor of the time, who had cared for him even before his reign, summoned him to Gaebong as emperor when the situation worsened.

And they gave him a palace to stay in.

Although he cared for his younger brother, he added the epitaph (毖) to the palace’s name to mean that he should not forget his duty.

Of course, despite the emperor’s consideration, King Gyeongchin steadily expanded his power and reached what it is today.

-Sureuk!

An elegant middle-aged man in his mid-fifties turned the pages of an old book.

There was a middle-aged eunuch wearing a red official uniform watching him quietly near the door.

Just by looking at the fancy official uniform he wore, one could guess his position.

The middle-aged eunuch was none other than the Taegam of Seochang.

-Sureuk!

The middle-aged man who was turning the pages at a steady pace soon opened his mouth.

“It’s too late to feel guilty.”

Hearing his words, Seochang’s prefect, Ho Gong, opened his mouth in a bitter voice.

“majesty. Shall I send someone?”

The identity of the middle-aged man with an elegant mustache was none other than King Gyeongchin, the owner of this secret palace.

In addition to the elegance of the four powerful figures who control the country, they also exuded an arrogant and unusual spirit that seemed to encompass all things.

“no. That’s it. “It will come on its own when the time comes.”

“I understand.”

Hearing these words from King Gyeongchin, Seochang’s Taegam Ho Gong bowed his head with his hands together.

However, there was concern in the eyes as he lowered his head.

‘You won’t disobey His Majesty’s orders, will you?’

Even so, I saw that Beom Jeung could not hide his joy at the news that the later Ji Ji, whom he had sent from the Cheonjihoe called Mokgyeongun, had suffered a serious injury.

That really bothered me.

‘You must have been very scared.’

I completely understand that feeling.

According to what was reported, it was natural that he suffered such injuries and humiliation.

If the person who caused such fear was injured, anyone would be happy and would not miss this opportunity.

But this was not his chance.

[Look at his details. We cannot afford to lose such a valuable talent.]

King Gyeongchin wanted to have a person named Later Jisu of Cheonjihoe.

As expected of His Highness, who had a strong desire for talent, he did not care at all even though he threatened his favorite lady, Lord Mama.

Rather, it is said that the more such a person is, the more worth it is to tame.

This may be the difference between those with the spirit to rule the world and ordinary people.

‘Please refrain from doing unnecessary things.’

If you take this as an opportunity and do something useless, His Majesty will not forgive you.

His Highness hates breaking his orders more than anyone else.

At that time, King Gyeongchin closed the book he was reading and opened his mouth.

“By the way, how is that girl so fine?”

“If it’s that girl…”

“That girl from Hoyang Palace.”

“ah······. “I see you are talking about Lady Ho.”

Ho Gwibi (貴妃).

The emperor has many women.

Among them, there were two women who were especially favored, and those were Queen Hwang and Lady Ho.

Originally, the emperor favored Lady Xi the most, but he also did not spare affection for his wife, Lady Namgung, and Lady Seomun, who gave birth to his children.

Here, the preface monument is the maternal lineage of King Gyeongchin. In other words, there was a deep connection to the maternal side.

Therefore, King Gyeongchin spared no effort and invested a lot of effort to ensure that Seomunbi received the emperor’s favor.

However, before we knew it, the landscape of the internal affairs department had changed.

It was because of Queen Ho who suddenly appeared.

‘A person of great value who cannot help but be deceived.’

Everyone who saw Queen Ho said the same thing.

As a court lady who had just entered the palace, her appearance was so outstanding that it was rumored that she was on par with Queen Seo, who was said to be the epitome of beauty.

Naturally, the story reached the lecherous emperor’s ears.

‘Only three years…’

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.

Even Queen Seomun, who gave birth to a son, could not become a queen.

‘She’s a dangerous girl.’

However, it took a long time for the Queen to win the Emperor’s heart.

But she did it in just three years.

King Gyeongchin could not understand this.

Although the emperor was too sensual and could not use his private parts when it came to women, he was also very philandering and would quickly get tired of it.

Even with his beloved Lady Hwang, he never spent more than three days together.

However, his favor was so great that he even stayed at Lady Ho’s residence for more than 15 days.

‘What kind of magic are you doing?’

Accordingly, other powerful figures, including King Gyeongchin, also considered her dangerous.

Strangely enough, everyone failed to keep it under their control.

King Gyeongchin also tried to do this, but it was the same.

I even tried to turn it around by meeting her in person, but instead I ended up hearing humiliating comments from her.

[If you are a jongchin, how about living like a jongkin and bowing down to your duties?]

King Gyeongchin heard this and became very angry.

No matter how much she was the Emperor’s favorite wife, she would not have dared to say something like that to herself.

In the end, King Gyeongchin decided to take extreme measures.

It was to use poison to slowly kill Queen Dowager Ho.

Unlike the other queens, she had no one behind her or anyone to help her, so even if her body became weak, there was no one she could ask for help.

So King Gyeongchin planned to subjugate her as she became weak.

however,

“How is it that two months have passed and there is no effect?”

To King Gyeongchin’s question, Prince Seo Chang-ho answered as if he was embarrassed.

“······I apologize. majesty.”

In fact, Ho Gong-gong was also curious about this.

He said that the effect would appear in one month, but even after that period had passed, Lady Ho was in perfect condition.

Accordingly, he told the court lady who had planted it to increase the amount of poisoned rice.

Nevertheless, even after two months, Lady Ho did not show any signs of illness.

In fact, I even had the illusion that my skin glow was getting better.

“Isn’t there a stronger poison?”

“I’m sorry, but according to the person who manufactured the poison, if it goes beyond that, you could get caught by a tastemaker or an internal medicine doctor.”

King Gyeongchin sighed lightly at Ho Gong’s words.

In a situation where it was too much for just Queen Dowager Seo, if Lady Ho gave birth to a son by chance, the political situation might become even more chaotic.

‘Would it be better to focus on preventing pregnancy?’

However, even if you do not do this, the other three powerful people will move.

This is something they cannot be happy about.

My thoughts were about to become complicated.

The eunuch’s voice was heard from outside.

-majesty. I would like to ask you to share your thoughts on the crime.

“Now you are here. “Let me in.”

-Yes.

The door opened and soon Sogam came in, his head bowed and his hands clasped together.

Then he bowed and bowed.

A strange look appeared in the eyes of Seochang’s Taegam Ho Gong, who was looking at him like this.

‘huh?’

That was because he seemed calm, unlike his usual sense of humor.

I couldn’t even feel if my energy had been lost.

At this, Ho Gong’s eyes narrowed.

No matter how much his sense of martial arts reached its peak, he was an unrivaled expert, counted among the four fingers in the imperial palace.

‘You won’t be able to completely hide your energy from me?’

While I was wondering, King Gyeongchin gestured for me to come closer and said.

“okay. How is his situation? “Is it worth recovering from?”

-Jump!

At this question, Inspector Beom lowered his head and tried to take a step forward.

At that moment, Ho Gong hurriedly blocked his path with a quick shinshin technique.

“Stop.”

King Gyeongchin frowned and asked.

“Ho public. “Why but?”

“Your Highness, let me check my thoughts for a moment.”

“What do you mean, checking?”

“Feeling like a tiger. “Raise your head.”

Gong Ho told Inspector Beom, who had his head down, to raise his head.

At this, Beom Sogam slowly lowered his hands and raised his face.

Beom So-gam’s face, with the eunuch’s characteristic powder-painted face, was no different from usual.

But there is one thing different:

‘······These eyes?’

When I stood in front of His Majesty the King of Gyeongchin and the leader of Seochang, I had the impression that he was always cautious in everything.

But his face and eyes were extremely calm.

At this, Ho Gong grabbed the handle of the belt around his waist with a sharp look in his eyes and pulled it out.

-Sreung!

When the belt was pulled, the soft sword hidden inside it was revealed.

Ho Gong aimed the tip of Yeongeom’s sword at Inspector Beom and spoke in a voice full of caution.

“Who are you?”

To his question, Beom Sogam gave no answer.

King Gyeongchin, who sensed something suspicious, also stood up and grabbed the sword sheath that was hanging on the stand behind him.

What on earth is this?

But then the tiger twitched his lips and opened his mouth.

“Ah, this is why it’s difficult for those who are quick to notice.”

‘!?’

This was not Beom Sogam’s voice.

He had an old-fashioned voice combined with a eunuch’s unique ticklishness, making him very gullible.

But this voice was very young.
