Part 2 Episode 58
I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere
Jinhwa, who was guiding Jeonggwang and his group, stopped when they reached a quiet place and greeted Zhao and Hyejin.
“nice to meet you. It is called Dongchang (東廠) concubine punishment (貼刑) evolution. “Welcome to the Forbidden City.”
“… … !”
The two people’s eyes widened.
It wasn’t because of evolution’s great status.
I heard it from Jeong Gwang on the way to the palace, but I never thought his voice would be this quiet.
Jeong Gwang chuckled and gently reprimanded them.
“You two should say hello too. “That’s rude.”
Unlike usual, Hyejin spoke first.
“I’m sorry for being rude. “It’s called the Burning Sword.”
Zhao’s eyes wavered slightly.
‘Still with that nickname? why?’
The question was momentary.
Isn’t it Zhao who worked in Wulin for a long time and gained a lot of experience?
How could the intelligent Hyejin do this without a valid reason?
He also mentioned the nickname he used in Liaoning in a calm tone.
“Jin Gong (公公). I also apologize. It’s all right. I hope to go along well.”
But Jinhua was not an easy man.
“You were a teacher and a teacher.”
“… … !”
“This is not surprising. “Aren’t there only two people who disappeared together with Jinokryong after the Great War of Righteousness and Evil?”
“… … .”
“Bulchwigeom and Gakung suddenly appeared in Liaoning along with a mysterious person named Heavenly Cruise Danju, which makes no sense other than Jinyukryong. “It’s natural to think that they are the two of you.”
“… … .”
Jeong Gwang, who was quietly listening, was impressed.
“and. You know every little detail. “I guess you have a lot of ears in Gangho.”
Evolution grinned.
“Kangho’s work is handled entirely by his classmates, so we tend to hear a lot of different things.”
“I see. “What is my reputation?”
Evolution’s eyes narrowed.
“I wonder why you’re suddenly asking such a difficult question.”
“You’re in trouble? “Why?”
As Jinhwa stared at Jeonggwang with strange eyes, Hyejin opened her mouth.
“Jin’s concubine. “It’s just something that has become a habit after being in Liaoning for a long time.”
Jeong Gwang added.
“It’s become a habit now, so let’s keep going with the Bulchwigeom. That might suit me better. Isn’t that right, Jin Gong?”
“… … .”
Jinhwa glanced at Jeonggwang and then turned his gaze to Hyejin.
And her red lips softly curved.
“You do that. I hope to go along well.”
It was not Hyejin, but Jeonggwang who answered while touching both hands.
“I’m asking you to take care of me.”
“Huh. “Why are you being so scary?”
“It’s just a habit. “But where are we going?”
“Since you will be staying in the palace as a member of the Gold Council for the time being, shouldn’t you get to know them?”
“I guess so.”
“This way. “Please go.”
Jinhwa led Jeonggwang and his party to the large hall.
Men wearing dark orange official uniforms symbolizing the Geumuiwi checked Jinhwa’s face and let him in.
A sturdy old man who was sitting alone in the spacious interior, looking down at documents, raised his head.
Evolution bowed politely to the old man.
“I’m meeting the commander.”
“Are you here, Concubine Jin?”
Does the small voice of evolution sound familiar?
The commander naturally accepted it and then turned his gaze to Jeong Gwang.
“indeed. “It’s just as I heard.”
“What?”
“The way you talk is like that too.”
“Who gossiped about me?”
“I also got compliments. “The third one praised you highly.”
“You are a person with discerning eyes.”
A cold light appeared in the commander’s eyes.
“well. Could it be that such a guy got kicked out to a remote area like Cheonghae Castle and stayed there for over ten years? Even though he was allowed to return to the center, he refused just because of a woman?”
“yes?”
The commander pointed to the dark iron ring placed on the middle finger of Jeong Gwang’s left hand.
“I’m talking about the guy who gave you that seal.”

“ah. Lord Cheonghae? “Are you his father?”
“It’s my brother.”
“… … no wonder. “You looked young.”
“You’re speaking late, contrary to what you said.”
“The Tongzhou Love House is truly a famous family. To Seongju, to the commander of the Geumwiwi. “Other people must be in great positions, right?”
“Contrary to rumors, you know how to be considerate. “It’s so awkward that it’s better than not doing it.”
The commander shook his head and then looked at Zhao and Hyejin.
“My concubine Jin asked me to give him the title of small flag. “Why are you doing the reverse?”
It was because Jeonggwang did not release what was done in Liaoning.
But Jeong Gwang answered differently.
“The bulchwigeom is pretty, but the sword is ugly. “I didn’t want to stand out, so I did that.”
The commander’s eyes shone sharply.
“Just for that reason? Aren’t you the most noticeable? “It wouldn’t be wise to deceive me.”
“Actually, Gak-eung didn’t look that vicious.”
“… … .”
“It’s true.”
The commander glared at Jeong Gwang and gave a soft warning.
“I’ll skip the light stuff. “Nothing big.”
“Can I go now?”
“no.”
The commander got up from his seat and stood proudly.
And he put his hands together in a restrained manner.
“Thank you, on a small scale for treating my sister-in-law, and on a large scale, for stabilizing Liaoning. “Please be patient until the end.”
“yes?”
While Jeong Gwang was taken aback by the unexpected words, the commander relaxed his gun and called someone.
An officer of the Geumuiwiwi appeared and handed a box to Jeonggwang.
“What is this?”
The commander sat on a chair and looked at the documents and answered.
“It’s the official uniform of the Gold Council. There are many people who don’t know you, so wear the included black belt over your shoulder. Then you can avoid troublesome things.”
That’s it?
Jeong Gwang’s face was colored with disappointment.
“No, since you said thank you, I thought there was at least a slip in it.”
“The third person repaid me for curing my brother-in-law, and the emperor praised me for stabilizing Liaoning. Why should I do that?”
Jeong Gwang sighed inwardly.
That’s true, but people need to be affectionate, so is it possible for them to be this calculating?
I could understand the feelings of the Lord of Cheonghae Castle sitting in Cheonghae Castle.
‘You’re there not because of your aunt’s health, but because of this picky man.’
Jeong Gwang also did not want to be with the commander.
“Okay then.”
I left the palace and went to Danbon Palace, the residence of the Crown Prince.
I changed into the gold uniform I received from the commanding officer and even wore a shoulder belt.
‘It’s silk so it’s worth wearing.’
It wasn’t that bad, I shook my head and Jinhwa praised me.
“You are great.”
“Why with something like this?”
“It’s because I’ve never seen someone who doesn’t dress well and deals with a commander as comfortably as Jin Ok-ryong.”
“I was very uncomfortable too.”
“haha. “The commander felt more uncomfortable.”
“Then let’s consider it a draw. Is there anywhere else to go?”
“His Majesty the Crown Prince will return soon, so please rest. and… … .”
Jinhua glanced at Zhao and Hyejin.
“It’s such a sophisticated counter-use technique that I didn’t even realize it.”
“It’s pretty good.”
“However, there are experts in the imperial palace who are as good as commanders. “Like before, there may be unnecessary misunderstandings, so I will explain it clearly.”
Jeong Gwang was satisfied with Jinhwa’s work.
“With Gakneung and Bulchwigeom.”
“Would it be possible?”
Evolution bowed deeply and added.
“So please be kind to me.”
“Sure.”
Jeong-gwang smiled inwardly as he watched Jin-hwa’s back moving away.
‘He’s quick to notice. So it’s more comfortable.’
The closer I got to the imperial palace, the more I remembered Hyejin’s face, which had hardened.
What about the fact that you introduced yourself with the nickname Bulchwigeom, which you always disliked?
‘The old Amipa monks spoke as if there was a secret to birth. He was from the imperial family.’
I had no desire to know who it was.
It’s a situation where you don’t know how far Milyak is reaching. If Hye-jin’s biological father is a member of the secret alliance, wouldn’t it be better to do something about it?
‘There’s nothing you can’t do, but dealing with it without knowing doesn’t leave you feeling uncomfortable.’
At that time, Hyejin opened her mouth with an expression on her face that seemed to have decided something.
“Sobriety. actually… … .”
“There’s no need to say it. Hyejin Sojeo is Hyejin Sojeo. What do you think, Zhao?”
Zhao’s head spun brilliantly.
‘It was somehow strange. ‘Is Hyejin Sojeo an illegitimate child abandoned by the imperial family?’
Even Jeong-gwang is trying to bury Hye-jin out of consideration, but can he just stay still?
He smiled exaggeratedly and joked.
“haha. Same goes for me. “Even if Hyejin Sojeo is the emperor’s daughter, what does it matter?”
Jeong Gwang was taken aback.
“That’s a big problem. Hyejin Sojeo. no way?”
“… … no.”
Zhao’s dark, dead complexion brightened.
“Look at that, Danju. No, anyway, I’m glad you said no. Rather, what I want to say is that there is no one in the world without a story. Bringing up bad memories will only hurt your feelings and will not be of any help. So, Hyejin So, I made up her mind… … .”
Hyejin’s stiff face softened as time passed.
In the end, she held back her laughter and tried to dissuade Zhao.
“You can stop. “Thanks to you, my heart became lighter.”
“no. The story starts now. little bit more… … .”
Hyejin also expressed her gratitude to Jeonggwang.
“Sobriety. Thank you for your consideration.”
“What. “You look better in men’s clothing than that.”
Because a woman could not become a military officer, she dressed up as a man, and when she put her hair up and wore a black official hat, her already good-natured look became even stronger.
Hyejin checked her appearance with longing and sighed.
“Why did you have to use this kind of face?”
“That’s convenient. “People take care of it and do their part.”
Zhao intervened.
“Sobriety. Hyejin Sojeo. There’s something I didn’t say before… … .”
The three talked and laughed for quite a while.
Until the owner of Danbon Palace comes.
Hwang Tae-son, who returned with a tired face, looked at Jeong-gwang quietly and then clapped his hands.
“Jinokryong. I had no idea that official uniform would look so good on you. “I think it would be best to wear it all the time.”
“If you keep doing that, I’ll run away.”
“It’s something other than Nong, Nong. haha. “Who are these people?”
When Emperor Taesun asked in an honorable manner, Zhao and Hyejin greeted each other politely.
Emperor Taisun’s eyes lit up when he heard Zhao’s voice.
“Huh. I guess Gak-eung is a new nickname. Isn’t this Daeseolbeomhyeop? “That’s why I didn’t recognize his face.”
“Lowering. Thank you for remembering the insignificant me. It is an honour.”
Taesun Hwang waved his hand.
“no. It still makes me smile when I think of the stories you told me the other day. “Isn’t that so, Deputy Commander?”
The deputy commander who was in charge of the city agreed with a shocked expression on his face.
“Yes, sir. “There are some parts that are a bit vulgar, but it’s not something you can easily hear.”
“ha ha ha. That part makes it more interesting. Please take care of me this time too.”
Zhao’s eyes sparkled like starlight.
“Please leave it to me, my lord.”
“Thank you. And did you say it was a burning sword?”
Hyejin took the example.
“That’s right, my lord.”
“Just by looking at you, you look strong. Thank you for coming to protect this needy person. Please take care of me.”
“… … I will do my best.”
After the brief greetings, Jeong Gwang asked Hwang Tae-son.
“Are you not eating dinner?”
“Now that I think about it, the time has already come. “Are you outside?”
The eunuch answered in a thin voice.
“Yes, sir. “I’ll post it right away.”
“There are a lot of people, so raise plenty. “There is no need for an attendant.”
“Ha, do you…” … .”
Emperor Taeson strongly ordered.
“This is an emergency situation. “I don’t know what might happen, so I have to eat with those who protect me.”
“Oh, I understand. Lowering.”
It was a bit far-fetched, but how could one disobey the Emperor’s orders?
It wasn’t long before a line of amazing dishes arrived.
As the eunuch was trying to check each scent, Jeong Gwang asked.
“Are you trying to check for poison?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“and. You really do this. Then what are you going to do if you become a noble person? I will do it.”
Hwang Tae-son burst into laughter.
“ha ha ha. I’m sure it’s the True Jade Dragon. “They are so good at poison that there are even rumors that they eat them as snacks.”
“Ha, my dear.”
When the eunuch was in trouble, the Crown Prince comforted him.
“Jin Yuryong’s words are right. If it contains poison, won’t your precious life be lost? Feel free to watch. Jinokryong, please.”
“Please leave it to me, my uncle.”
Jeong Gwang came out with a face full of motivation.
‘It’s a good thing you came. ‘I never thought I’d get to eat royal cuisine.’
There were so many things I had never seen before, so I devoured the meat dish that looked the most appetizing.
Jeong Gwang’s eyes widened.
“This, this!”
The eunuch shouted in surprise.
“Is it poison?”
Jeonggwang chewed it thoroughly, swallowed it, and was impressed.
“no. “It’s really delicious.”
I meant it.
So much so that it can be said to be the best dish of both my past and present lives!
“I’ll check other things too.”
As Jeong Gwang moved his mouth and hands flashily, everyone except the eunuch and the deputy commander laughed out loud.
Soon, Jeong Gwang, who had prepared all the dishes, declared with a serious expression.
“There’s nothing wrong. “There is a lot of food prepared, so please eat a lot.”
Hwang Tae-son responded playfully.
“Thank goodness. I will believe in my true jade dragon and do my best. Let’s join others too.”
“yes! Lowering!”
It was a pleasant meal.
With his stomach full, Jeong Gwang took out Pan Manso’s letter from his pocket and handed it to Hwang Tae Son.
“hmm? “What is this?”
“Noya Pang told me to tell you this.”
“ah! “Master!”
“After you read it, if you like it, you want me to upload it to the Emperor.”
“To the emperor?”
Emperor Taesun read the letter with serious eyes.
A light of joy appeared in his eyes.
“Okay. “It’s a very good idea.”
“Do you like it?”
“That’s right. This is not the time. “I must present it to the emperor immediately.”
“Let’s go then.”
Jeong Gwang decided to closely guard the Crown Prince, so he shook his butt off and stood up.
“ah. Sir, just a moment.”
Before leaving, I told Zhao and Hyejin what to do.
“Gak-eung, go back to Paengga and come back tomorrow morning. “Let me continue to sleep for a while, Mr. Dongbang.”
“I understand, Danju.”
“Bulchwigeom, choose a room you like and wait while having a fortune-telling breakfast. Sir, are you okay?”
“Other than that, of course. “Please feel free to choose.”
“ruler. “Then let’s go, sir.”
Jeong Gwang, together with the Crown Prince and the Deputy Commander, headed to Geoncheonggung (乾淸宮), where the emperor was.
And somewhere else, we encountered a group heading to Geoncheong Palace.
At the center of them was a middle-aged man who looked like he had seen it somewhere before.
Jeong Gwang’s eyes lit up.
‘Look at this? Hyejin and Sojeo have the same eyes.’
