< Episode 68 King Gyeongchin (3) >
Ho Gwibi (貴妃).
The emperor has many women.
Among them, there was a woman who was especially favored, and she was Lady Hwang.
However, the situation in the internal affairs department, which seemed to be maintained for a long time, changed one day.
It was because of Queen Ho who suddenly appeared.
‘A person of great value who cannot help but be deceived.’
Everyone who saw Lady Ho was full of praise.
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 Lady Hwang when she was young and in her prime.
The woman who came in as a court lady like that, without any support behind the scenes, captivated the emperor with her looks alone and rose to the position of concubine in just three years.
As a result, even the four powerful figures in the imperial palace have been most wary of this woman who has captured the emperor’s heart.
But how did such a noble lady appear at Bigyeong Palace, the domain of His Majesty the King of Gyeongchin?
And that too without any escorts or court ladies to attend to him.
Something was very strange.
– Again! Again!
As she walked, she held a rather large wrapping cloth in her hand, but the meaning of it was even more incomprehensible.
However, rather than her strange appearance, it was necessary to quickly inform Wang Ya that there was an enemy attack at his residence, so the governor of Xochang, Ho Gong, hurriedly told her with both hands folded in polite manner.
“Ho, dear mama. I apologize for not being able to show proper courtesy due to the urgent situation. An unidentified enemy has now invaded Your Majesty’s residence…”
“enemy?”
“That’s right. So, I need to ask for help, so please go back. “Enough with my beliefs…”
“for a moment.”
Then she called Ho Gong.
Since the situation was already urgent, Ho Gong responded in an unintentionally irritated voice.
“mama. “I don’t have time for this…”
-Poof!
At that time, Lady Hu threw the wrapping cloth she was holding at Lord Gong.
The cloth seemed quite heavy enough to stretch, but when I threw it lightly with one hand, Ho Gong looked puzzled for a moment and caught it.
-Park!
‘Can you do this with one hand?’
It was actually quite heavy.
He could have taken it lightly because he was a man and had learned martial arts, but wasn’t Lady Ho an ordinary woman who had not even learned martial arts?
Ho Gong soon asked.
“mama. “I don’t know what this is, but I think it will be difficult to convey it to Your Majesty right away…”
“Look what’s inside.”
Ho Gong frowned at her arrogant tone, as if she was giving orders.
Although she was favored by the emperor, she deserved a certain level of respect because she was the governor of Xichang.
Ho Gong thought that he should ignore her for now and just go.
Anyway, I saw at least an example.
-Tuk!
Ho Gong put the wrapping cloth she had thrown down on the floor.
And the moment he was about to kick the floor and launch the new model,
-Park!
At that moment, the wrapped cloth opened of its own accord and something inside came out.
Ho Gong-gong, who unconsciously saw this, soon said,
‘!?’
I was so startled that I took a half step backwards.
As expected, inside the wrapping cloth was none other than the severed head of a person.
It also had a woman’s head,
‘This woman…’
Ho Gong immediately recognized who this head was.
The owner of this hair was none other than the court lady who kept it in the royal palace of Consort Ho.
[You can add this powder little by little to soups or seasoned foods.]
[Is it really going to be okay?]
[Don’t worry. This weak medicine is difficult for even those who have learned martial arts or lawmakers with sensitive tongues to recognize. So make sure you add it every single day.]
[I understand. public.]
It was a court lady whom I met not long ago to report on progress.
The moment Ho Gong saw the court lady’s severed head, he blushed without realizing it.
No, I had no choice but to do it.
The court lady who died with her head cut off did not die with a painful face, but was smiling brightly as if she were happy.
This was so scary.
As a result, a voice was heard in his ear as he was speechless.
“You look so happy, right?”
-Sigh!
A hand on your shoulder along with that voice.
And Ho Gong’s eyes were shaking like crazy at the scent so fragrant that it tickled the tip of his nose.
When did this woman come to me?
No matter how surprised I was to see the severed head of the court lady, I wasn’t so dazed that I couldn’t sense someone’s presence.
‘Could it be that you learned martial arts? No, not like that….’

There was not even the slightest trace of martial arts skills.
If you have learned even a little bit of footwork or martial arts, it will be noticeable in your walking posture or actions.
Even the body structure has changed to match the martial arts skills.
But Queen Ho was not like that at all.
It was difficult to find any trace of martial arts skills, even from his steps.
While I was confused, I heard Queen Ho’s voice.
“Yes. “I’m a noble person, so I really like cooking in addition to raw food.”
“……..”
“But who plays pranks on the food I’ve been enjoying since one day?”
“Mama…what are you talking about now…”
-Sigh!
Before he could finish speaking, Lady Hu’s soft, small hand touched Gong Hu’s neck.
There wasn’t anything particularly stimulating, but the moment he touched it, he instinctively felt a shiver run down his spine.
“I’m not finished talking yet.”
“……..”
Ho Gong swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
What on earth is this woman?
Just by being close to him, I felt an inexplicable sense of intimidation, so much so that even breathing became uncomfortable.
Is it really possible to become an incredible expert?
Then she continued speaking.
“It’s so amazing. People do similar things in any era. “Whether it was decades, hundreds of years, or thousands of years ago, if something didn’t suit you just a little bit, the first thing you did was mess with the food.”
“……mama. “I apologize, but what exactly are you talking about?”
“It’s the same when it comes to pretending.”
“My convictions are truly…”
“it’s okay.”
“yes?”
“I just need to eat raw food for the first time in a while.”
‘!?’
-Poof!
At that moment, something burst out through Ho Gong’s chest.
It is none other than,
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”
It was a hand clutching my heart.
Ho Gong’s eyes widened as if they were torn apart.
I could see my heart pounding in my blood-stained hand, and I felt like I was going crazy.
Lady Ho whispered softly in his ear.
“A human heart that has just been taken out is fresh and delicious. “Would you like to take a bite of yours?”
‘!!!!!!’
Ho Gong, who had been thinking and shaking at those words, soon lowered his head.
Seeing that he had died sooner than expected, Queen Ho took out the hand that had penetrated him and muttered as if she were regretful.
“Should I have tortured you more and then killed you?”
When I actually killed him, I felt like I killed him very easily.
Then he shook his head and brought the heart he was holding to his mouth.
-Quad!
I took a refreshing bite as if I was eating an apple.
-Mumbling!
Queen Ho, who chewed and swallowed her heart, muttered with her eyes as if savoring it.
“Ahhh. “This is why I can’t quit eating raw food.”
Boiled, baked, and fried food was a delicacy, but it was not a staple food.
It feels like eating when it is overflowing with blood and juice.
Just like that, Lady Ho quickly cut down and devoured the weakly beating heart.
It didn’t take long to eat it all.
“It was a good meal.”
Lady Ho wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a towel, elegantly, like a young lady.
Lady Ho, who was wiping away the blood, turned her head towards the direction where King Gyeongchin’s residence was located.
Then, with an interested look in her eyes and the corner of her mouth twitching, she grabbed the dead Ho Gong’s hair.
* * *
King Gyeongchin’s residence at a similar time.
-Sigh! thud!
Mok Gyeong-un let go of King Gyeongchin’s hand that was clutching his neck.
King Gyeongchin, whose legs were weak, knelt on the floor.
Even though he grabbed him as gently as possible, King Gyeongchin, who was suffocating due to the person grabbing his throat, coughed to catch his breath.
“Chokkolok.”
Mok Kyung-un, who was looking down at him, shrugged his shoulders and said.
“This is an unexpected result.”
“Kolokkolok…what?”
“But since he served you, I thought that if he had any sense of loyalty, he would choose to save your life and his own life.”
Although I was pushed to an emotional dead end, the result was a little different from what I expected.
Mok Gyeong-un chuckled at this result.
“It certainly seems that for those who have learned martial arts, Danjeon is more important than loyalty to the master or even life.”
King Gyeongchin, who was barely able to catch his breath, tightened his fists at Mok Gyeong-un’s words.
Deep down, he felt betrayed by Tae Gam Ho Gong’s actions.
Since he had been taking care of me for a long time, I thought he would move as he intended.
However, I had no idea that, contrary to his intention, he would choose the path of preserving his martial arts.
‘Ho public. How could you…’
It was truly disappointing.
Mok Gyeong-un smiled and said to him like this.
“It’s such a pity. “I can’t believe a trusted subject would choose His Majesty’s death.”
At these words, King Gyeongchin opened his mouth with angry eyes.
“Are you going to kill me?”
“Since Lord Ho made his choice, shouldn’t that be the case?”
-Park!
At that time, King Gyeongchin bowed down to Mokgyeongun and spoke in an earnest voice.
“Save me.”
He no longer had the stamina and dignity of a king.
Mokgyeongun twitched the corner of his mouth at this, then bent down and whispered into the ear of the man who was lying face down.
“You know that you wouldn’t benefit me at all if you let me live.”
“Please save me. Jim, I don’t want to die like this.”
“You’ve become a lot more honest.”
“……”
Because of his pride, King Gyeongchin did not respond to those words.
Then, he tightened his throat and spoke.
“If you spare my life, I will pass on the crime you committed to the Lord.”
“Hoo.”
“…….I can’t forgive Ho Gong for turning his back on my wishes like this.”
“They’re saying they’re going to pass everything on to the public as if it was done by Ho Gong.”
“Yes.”
Hearing his words, Mok Kyung-un smiled and said.
“Your Majesty and I have the same thoughts this time.”
At those words, King Gyeongchin’s expression lit up.
I didn’t have high expectations, but it was like taking a gamble just in case.
But I didn’t know that it would work so unexpectedly.
Well, from this person’s perspective, killing himself would have made the situation spiral out of control, so it could have been a natural choice.
“If you do, let’s talk to Jim.”
“There’s no need for that.”
“what?”
Mok Gyeong-un whispered meaningfully to him as he questioned him.
“All you have to do is give me the body.”
‘!?’
The words were almost over.
– Creepy!
“Huh!”
King Gyeongchin, who was lying face down, rolled his eyes and his whole body went into violent convulsions.
Eventually, he found stability and his eyes returned to their original state.
No, his eyes were different from usual.
King Gyeongchin stood up and opened his mouth.
“I didn’t know that now I would end up possessing the king’s body. “Rebirth.”
The one who took over that body was none other than the Young Spirit.
Cheongnyeong seemed satisfied with the idea of possessing someone else’s body for the first time in a long time, as he clenched and unclenched his fists and showed a satisfied expression.
Mok Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders and said to her.
“But it’s been a while since you’ve been possessed, so it’s okay, right?”
“what. “It’s not bad to be in a precious body…”
-Startle!
The young man stopped speaking and then turned his head towards the door.
It wasn’t just her.
Mok Kyung-un, who had been smiling just a moment ago, suddenly looked at the door with sharp eyes.
-thud!
Soon the door opened and a beautiful woman wearing a gorgeous red-gold dress appeared.
The woman who suddenly appeared showed a bright smile, then lifted up the torn off head of Seochang’s Taegam Ho Gong and said,
“Why don’t you join me too? Guys.”
