After Prince Wang So
collapse, Princess Yeon Hwa stood up from where she was sitting, her beautiful
face as if stormed, her plan slipping too far. Not the Crown Prince who sipped
toxic tea, but Prince Wang So. Why? She must do something to get rid of the
trail, or she will be dragged to the gallows.
"Yeon Hwa
..." Queen Yoo's voice surprised the beautiful princess.
Princess Yeon Hwa
knows she must act immediately, she stands to salute The Majesty King.
"There is something you want to say", King Taejo asked, he always
proud of his beautiful daughter.
"Yes, I have a
request, before taking three saucers of tea", the tapper fingers poured
tea from the same pot for the Crown Prince tea without hesitation, then
applied. "I beg the permission of The Royal Majesty to let Wook marry
again", Princess Yeon Hwa's voice is always melodious.
"What do you
think, Wook?" The Royal Majesty stared into Prince Wang Wook's handsome
face.
"If The Majesty
gives me permission ... there is someone I consider", Prince Wang Wook
glimpsed Princess Yeon Hwa with one question at a glance. Does she have a plan?
"So I have no
reason to oppose it. Permission I give ", The Majesty's voice sure.
"Thank The
Majesty", Prince Wang Wook is always waiting for this day, the day he has
obtained permission from The Royal Highness to marry the woman he loves. Hae
Soo, hope again spread.
Princess Yeon Hwa
grabs the cup closer to the blood-coloured lips, due to lipstick. The princess
does not have to gulp unless she intends to die in vain, she pretends to sip
the tea Hae Soo serves for the Crown Prince. No one knows, that tea spilt
gently wetting the beautiful clothes. "The Majesty, the next request is
..." Princess Yeon Hwa's words are not finished. She was a shrewd
performer, she pretended to be in pain, wide-eyed, stunned and then the lanky
body fainted, surprising The Majesty King and the whole family in attendance.
"One has tried
to poison the Crown Prince", Queen Yoo screamed fiercely, if Princess Yeon
Hwa fainted, what has happened to Prince Wang So? In his seat seated Crown
Prince is still in good health, not a drop of poison. He was free from threats,
because of the actions of Wang So and Princess Yeon Hwa, but the mood of the
prince was immediately chaotic as if endless warfare.
Prince Baek Ah
awakens to the dangers that threaten Prince Wang So, he stands up and
immediately runs after the 4th Prince, he must know the meaning of anxiety, he
must know Prince Wang So is in danger, death is very near. He is very worried
about his brother, he loves Prince Wang So. While Prince Wang So is trying to
chase after Hae Soo who stepped slowly, never knowing he had been scapegoated
with the consequences of terrible punishment. Prince Wang So's footsteps are floating,
he seemed to float in the dream world to eternity, blood continues to drip from
the mouth stretch, holding pain. Could he see the sun the next day? Prince Wang
So still had the remaining energy to tread, but the three poison pancakes grew
stronger, the prince's eyes blurting more, the fog as if descending rapidly
around the palace walls. The air was getting colder - the cold, the blood
spurted from its mouth, and finally, the robust body collapsed on the floor.
Originally Hae Soo
stepped with unconventional feelings, but finally she noticed a belay
following a few steps behind her. When she turned her head, the ladies eyes
widened, she tried to reject the vision, but the apparition insight was real.
Prince Wang So was lying with his mouth covered in blood. "Please ... the
healer of the palace ...!" Hae Soo's voice is very chaotic, what has
happened? The unfortunate course never knew the sly plans of Princess Yeon Hwa
and Queen Yoo, she was just a lady who had lost her memory, she would soon
become a victim.
"Leave the
palace on the first occasion", Prince Wang So's voice is broken, he does
not know how the fate of the beloved girl after serving the tea, the prince who
drank it proves dying, because of the poison. Would not he be accused of having
deliberately poisoned the Crown Prince? Did he really have reason to do it? On
the other hand, Hae Soo never knew the true meaning of Prince Wang So's words, she
did not know until the time.
Shortly thereafter,
Prince Baek Ah, Ji Mong, the thirteenth Prince and the guards came. A physician
called to rescue Prince Wang So, the dying body being carried into the palace
treatment room. While Hae So stood up, everything went quickly, she tried to
resist hearing when the voice came, Choi Ji Mong tasted the tea, the tip of his
tongue tasted different from the usual tea. The star expert had no intention of
swallowing it, he immediately spit it back.
"You are the
only suspect to kill the Crown Prince, serving tea with poison in it. Capture!"
Prince Wang Won screams as he stares at Hae Soo, his eyes as if the sword is
shiny.
"Ji Mong wait,
not he did it!" Prince Wang Jung shouts for Hae Soo, but his voice is
swallowed up by the rumbling sound of a rapidly moving bodyguard catching the
lady.
"Court Damiwon
Hae Soo, you were arrested for attempted murder", Choi Ji Mong said the
words. Is he so sure?
Hae Soo stood up, she
was not even sure where she was standing and where did she come from? She was
helpless as the palace guard dragged her into a small space, away from the
crowd with the bars in it. She was not dreaming, she had been accused of
poisoning the Crown Prince, plotting his death by serving poisoned tea. Does she
have a reason? Is she really doing? Hae Soo paused a thousand languages, she
only sobbed and screamed when various penalties caused her clothes to be
covered in blood, her bones as if cracked. She was no longer a descendant of a noble
lady who wore beautiful clothes, settled respectfully at the residence of
Prince Wang Wook, protected by Madame Hae. She is a "killer", she is
faced with a network of power that is impossible to resist. She had refused
Sanggung Oh's request to leave the palace, before the king's family used it.
She ....
Hae Soo's room was
ransacked, Sanggung Oh had to watch this, her heart was crushed. She had asked
Hae Soo to leave the palace on the first occasion, the lady refused. Now that her
room was ransacked, evidence could be found in many ways, was the poor girl
going to survive? Blood Sanggung Oh flow seemed to stop flowing, she knew the
storm was waiting. Suddenly a lady approached, whispering, "Court Nan has
disappeared somewhere." Sanggung Oh sighs, whose room should be searched.
Hae Soo's Room or court Nan? Sanggung Oh's heart seemed to split, even to
pieces when the royal guard found a beautiful high-value bracelet and the rest
of the poison powder that had been poured into the teapot of the Crown Prince.
What will happen after this? The lady's head closed her eyes, her chest
tightness.
In another room, the
Imperial physician examined Princess Yeon Hwa, "Princess's condition is
not so bad, only a little poison is taken," the words at least succeeded
in winning the hearts of Prince Wang Wook and Queen Hwangbo. The two walks
leave the room of Princess Yeon Hwa, the Princess should rest. After the death
of Prince Wang Wook and Queen Hwangbo suddenly Princess Yeon Hwa wakes up,
sitting with a solid posture.
The physician
sitting next to her, shocked, trembled with fear. What exactly has happened to
the princess? "Nobody can ask, did I deliberately poison myself? Think
carefully, right now, is a time when one word can determine the life and death
of a physician ", a sly smile decorating the beautiful face of Princess
Yeon Hwa. The palace doctor was silent for a thousand languages, her mouth
almost gaping.
As for Prince Wang
So was still able to survive, he got the herb medicine from the physician.
Crown Prince, Prince Baek Ah, and Choi Ji Mong did not go away, staring
anxiously. Is there a 4th Prince still entitled to life after three poisoned teacups? "This type of poison is not detected by silver. Fortunately,
General Soo Kyung has given Prince Wang So a science to free himself of various
toxins ", Choi Ji Mong explained.
The 4th Prince
survived, but what about Hae Soo's fate? "If you know that tea is
poisonous, why keep drinking for a third time?" One asked.
"The prince has known about the poison,
and so is the mastermind, he just wants to protect it", Choi Ji Mong
looks very far, not difficult to know the real mastermind. If he has the
authority to uncover it?
***
Behind the cold iron
rail and silent Hae Soo sat drooping, clockwork seemed to stop, she could no
longer stare and become a section of freedom outside the prison wall. She was
just a prisoner waiting to die, this time the air felt frozen as if dying. The
lady's face was slightly shining as Prince Wang Wook took the time to come,
clutching her limp fingers. The prince's heart seemed torn, how could Hae Soo
intend to poison the Crown Prince? Prince Wang So accidentally drank it, the
prince was lying with his mouth covered in blood, Princess Yeon Hwa fainted.
Prince Wang Wook knew the black clouds hung back over the palace sky.
"How is Prince
So? Is he helped?" Hae Soo asks, she can still cope with aches and pains
all over her body. She needs to know the circumstances of Prince Wang So.
"So already
handled court physician, he is in good condition", replied Prince Wang
Wook briefly. "Now you have to worry about yourself, on suspicion of murder
Crown Prince ", the voice of the
8th Prince turns sadly, he is not even sure he will be able to save the lady.
"I do not
intend, would not even do it. I have no reason for that", Hae Soo denies.
"I know, but
you will not be able to prove. You will be forced to name the person who
bribes, perhaps even with torture. Stay strong, I will never leave you",
Prince Wang Wook knows Hae Soo has been caught in a trap, he is only able to
entertain. Hae Soo still has a gap of hope to get out of this problem, fighting
to the limit of ability.
***
The heat when The Majesty King meets one of
the strongholds of the greatest power, the object. "Crown Prince
deliberately powdered poison into the pier of Prince Wang So. The expensive
bracelet found in Hae Soo's room is the proof. Is not it that the ladies have
met the Crown Prince several times", one of them argued.
"We advise
Prince So to replace the Crown Prince's position", the other returned in a
loud voice.
"Do you think I
am a murderer who has an evil plan to kill So with three cups of tea?
"Crown Prince inflamed, heartburn with all the accusations. Does he have reason
to kill the 4th Prince?
"It is very
inappropriate to quarrel before The Majesty", Choi Ji Mong brokered the
argument.
"If the target is the Crown Prince, why
is Yeon Hwa almost also a victim?" Prince Wang Wook spoke, he strove to
defend the Crown Prince. The debate continues for some time, nobody knows who
actually has a bad plan and what it means, but the suspect should be set to end
the debate.
"Hae Soo should be hanged for attempted
murder of the prince". The Majesty King Taejo finally decides.
"Apologies The Majesty, I am sure Hae Soo
is completely innocent, I have never bribed her with a bracelet. No need to
sacrifice one life for the sake of a Crown Prince. Better So replace the
position of Crown Prince, the important life in the palace returns to peace
", Prince Wang Moo objected, he found no evidence that Hae Soo guilty, why
also the lady had to be hanged?
"You are the
eldest son, friend and best friend, we often go to war with live or dead bets,
together. We are still together to this day, I am worthy to give everything I
have", The Majesty King rejected the voice of Prince Wang Moo, that means
the hanging has been prepared for Hae Soo.
***
Prince Wang So's
health is getting better. He hurriedly walked, with a deep desire, to meet Hae
Soo. Prince Baek Ah feels compassionate, "So, keep resting until
healed."
"The girl is alone," Prince Wang So
really wants to know the final state of Hae Soo, is the lady okay? Or, Prince
Wang Wook appears suddenly, standing in the face of Prince Wang So.
"Hae Soo is
accused of poisoning on the orders of the Crown Prince, The Majesty handed down
the hanging," Wang Wook's face was pale.
"Unreasonable accusation", if Prince
Wang So was able to shout, his throat felt dry. How could Hae Soo get slander
with terrible punishment.
"True, the
accusations are absurd, I know, everyone knows. Is there a way out? I should
have taken the lady away from you. See what's happening now?" Regrets
always come too late, Prince Wang Wook's chest feels tight. He will not be able
to change the decision of a king, in this case, he is helpless.
"Sorry, can
leave us both", Prince Wang So asked Prince Baek Ah's understanding, he
needs to talk privately with Prince Wang Wook. " Yeon Hwa is involved. I
did not have the heart and was unable to express the plan in front of everyone.
You must solve this problem, only you can defend Soo and Crown Prince ....
" Prince Wang So's eyes become wistful, Queen Yoo again asks the victim. "
I will find the proof ", Prince Wang Wook replied. The conversation was
over, Prince Wang So went on, go see Hae Soo.
The sky seemed to
collapse in the crown of the head when he had to see the innocent maids lying
limp, wearing all-white clothing smeared with bloodstains. Her face was
covered with bruises, she had been severely punished before being found guilty,
her weaknesses were she as a victim of slander and the plot of a queen. On the
other hand, Hae Soo As if she could feel the prestige of Prince Wang So, the
lady slowly opened her eyes, stared at the Prince to 4. "Gratitude can
again see the prince in good health. Is the prince deliberately drinking toxic
tea soup I'm not suspected?" The voice was broken.
"It makes no
sense, you think I'm that stupid? Deliberately drinking poison to save a girl?"
Prince Wang So smiled bitterly.
"Why did the
prince do it? Acting hasty, why risk your life for a poor lady? Prince makes it
harder to ignore", Hae Soo's eyes are teary.
"From the
beginning you were good at creating problems. We will both stay together, get
out of trouble", Prince Wang So tried to be sure with all his words.
"If the prince
really is not helped any more... "
" Your fate is
worse ... "
" Listen to the
healers, get well soon. No need to walk around no need to come here to visit”.
" You talk too
much".
***
Prince Wang Wook
follows a suspicious lady, he sneaks silently and then chats with a royal woman
in an all-enclosed suit. Shortly after the conversation was over, the lady went
away, the 4th Prince pulled the lady and then ready to stab her pointy pin into
her neck. He shouted, threatening someone dressed in all-enclosed to show her
face, "Show yourself. No member of the kingdom can let the royal ladies
die .... "
A few moments of
silence, the night seemed more cold and black. Prince Wang Wook had never
expected what would happen in a few breaths after this. When the woman dressed
all closed it slowly opened the veil, the whole body of Prince Wang Wook
shivered, blood seemed to freeze. He did not think the woman was beloved,
Princess Yeon Hwa, he never mistakenly recognize her face is still beautiful.
"Please, The Majesty King that I did ...
So you can save Soo .... " The voice was cold and cynical.
"If you are
found guilty, our family will be considered a traitor ", Prince Wang Wook
never expected a moment to confront Yeon Hwa under such circumstances. He
looked at Princess Yeoh Hwa as if facing a stranger.
"I will be
hanged, cut up, mother will be ostracized. Our family will be slaughtered!"
Princess Yeon Hwa has known the worst consequences of her actions, but evil
intentions force her to do so.
"Why should you
do all this?!!!" Prince Wang Wook knows he regrets for life face to face
with the sister in these circumstances.
"To awaken you.
You must be king, but throw this opportunity for a girl!" Reflecting back
on Hae Soo's unfortunate face, Princess Yeon Hwa again growled. Why should an
intelligent prince deserving of the throne be in love with a lady who has lost
her memory?
"I do not want
to be king," Prince Wang Wook almost screamed, tearing the whole evening
quietly "You want it, when it is joint, how is your heart whispered? What
did you think of seeing So able to bring down the rain at the ceremony? I
should be up there. Everyone should cheer for me. I see the unspoken language
on the look on your face. You want to be king. I deny, leave me and mother. I
will not blame you. I am willing to die ... " Princess Yeoh Hwa's voice is
as calm as night, she will do everything including slaying and slandering for
the throne of her beloved relative.
Prince Wang Wook
lost words, he can not confirm Yeon Hwa's true or false words, do something,
silence forever ear listening and mouth that may talk, because of torture.
Sprightly hand Prince of the 8th threw the skewer to the lady who knew and
heard this conversation, soon the poor lady was drooping in blood. Life for him
only came to a wasted moment. "Do you know? I can not and will never
abandon you and mother. From now on Yeon Hwa, you are not my sister. We owe
each other. You owe me, otherwise, I owe you". Prince Wang Wook has never
been as troubled as it is now, as if a sea storm has thrown all over his chest,
preparing to stop his heartbeat.
Princess Yeon Hwa's
face is transformed as a witch, her heart is not as beautiful as her face.
"The debt will not pay for my whole life. I will make you a king ",
Princess Yeon Hwa never felt guilty, even though a lady was killed in front of
her eyes, while the memory lady was huddled behind the bars waiting for the
death penalty. She is a Princess Goryeo, she need not feel guilty for the
throne that will be occupied by Wang Wook. Prince Wang Wook feels no need to
extend the conversation, he must end the conversation with Yeon Hwa. Unsteady
as if not trampling the ground when stepping, he lost half of the attitude of
life, his hand-picked up the back puncture of the back of the poor lady of the
frozen palace to die. Can he save Hae Soo if Yeon Hwa is the principal
protester of the Crown Prince's murder attempt? Who to choose, the unfortunate
fate of an innocent lady or the whole family.
Prince's day was a
dead end, his face lethargic as his legs went toward the bars where Hae Soo was
locked up waiting for the hanging. Does he have to break his promise, to always
be beside the girl? If he could scream. Prince Wang Wook did not have the
courage to look at Hae Soo's face, the unfortunate sheep to be sacrificed, for she
was only a lady, not the Princess Goryeo who deserved to dream of the throne
and be able to do anything. The prince just stood without a word, staring at
the detention house from a distance, in his hand, the stitch was still covered
with blood. And while still racing, waiting for the hanging moments were the
dreadful days.
Prince Wang Jung
continues to plead for Prince Wang Wook to save Hae Soo's life. However, Prince
Wang Wook is more often silenced, the figure of the prince as if the veil of
secrets is unsolved, he looks increasingly distant and distant. "Can not
you save Soo from a mistake she never did?" Prince Wang Jung has not run
out of words, he thought he could still hope.
Prince Wang Wook was
unable to answer Prince Wang Jung's request, but realized that someone was
standing behind the door, "Do not hide. Appear yourself ", his voice
was commanded. Both princes needed to wait a while before a lady appeared in
fear, caught by the eavesdropping of Wang Geon's conversation. She was Char
Ryung, her whole body trembling on her knees in front of Prince Wang Wook,
"Please save her The Majesty ..." Chae Ryung begs sincerely. However,
not a word uttered from Prince Wang Wook, he has indeed lost all the answers,
though not recognizing Yeon Hwa as a sister, can he harm the princess, even to
save Hae Soo.
Prince Wang Wook is
incapable of behaving. Prince Wang Wook's silence makes Prince Wang So decide
to go to The Majesty the King, asking for justice for the poor lady.
"Everyone knows she is innocent. Is The Majesty King willing to let her be
hanged to save the Crown Prince?"
"I did
everything for Goryeo. Losing one life to save more", The Majesty King
Taejo does not intend to change the decision, the lady who provides the is Hae
Soo, in her room also found the rest of the poison powder.
"Does a king
have to bargain between a man and many lives Prince Wang So dares himself to
ask, he will not be able to forgive himself if Hae Soo dies at the stake”.
"Your mouth is too presumptuous! Do you
want to die to be killed? I thought you were a sharp sword. The Majesty King is
inflamed, he not only has to be fair, but he must save the entire royal family,
what is a poor lady?"
“To draw a sword
properly, it must be tested worthiness", Prince Wang So loses his taste
afraid. He knew the anger of a king could bring a prince to the same hanging
pole. However, does he have any choice but to express his opinion?
"Back off or
I'll kill you first!" King Taejo's voice resembles thunder, he will not
let a prince change his decision, he is the head of state as well as the judge.
***
While Sanggung Oh
feels the same sadness, she secretly visits Hae Soo. The unlucky court was deep
with a bruised face and white clothing covered in blood. What punishment has
been received, that she should suffer? The beautiful woman fell silent, her
heart as if crushed like a broken glass. If Soo followed her words to leave the
palace on the first occasion, did she have to be the victim's goat for a
mistake that was never done? Sanggung Oh can not bear to wake up Hae Soo, sleep
may be better, instead of waking up but having to deal with erratic ticking
time. The heart of the lady's heart seems to be cut when she has to leave the
bars that surround Hae Soo, she loves the girl as if she ever born. Can she do
something?
Until return to the
residence, Prince Wook has been waiting. Sanggung Oh can guess the intention of
the arrival of the 8th Prince, he can not come without anything important.
"You're the only person I can go for Soo. You can persuade The Majesty
King", Prince Wang Wook opened the conversation, his mind was upset, his
legs as if stepping on the coals. He will take the last path of rescuing Hae
Soo, he knows Sanggung Oh's close relationship with The Majesty King.
"Just because ever close, the prince
thought I could persuade him?" Sanggung Oh dodge, he is the figure of a
prince, a man of glory, being born the king's son. Is life really as noble as
it is? Why should he also visit a lady chief to confront the Venerable King?
"Will you be
silent forever? The hanging pole is waiting, Soo will die. I know you feel like
you're her mother, so you hate to see me with her", Prince Wang Wook half
screaming, half-asking, he almost despairs.
" Why can not a
prince do something? Is not love still there? Please to The Majesty forgiveness
for Soo. Prince could ask better. Except, a mother or a relative involved? Or
the prince wants the throne? Only one thing that turns a prince into a coward.
Regret always arrives late, haunting forever if Soo should be hanged without
error. I will speak to The Majesty King, because I do care. You failed to save
anybody ", not a second Sanggung Oh glance at the handsome face of Prince
Wang Wook, she never hesitated with her words.
Sanggung Oh keep her
words, her face as calm as the water surface of the lake when facing The
Majesty King. She had to say something before hanging. The face remained calm
when presenting a cup of tea, Sanggung Oh as if to prepare for everything.
While King Taejo looked tough, he actually hid his pained heart. "Whatever
your wishes are, what matters is not related to So", His Majesty King
spends time for meetings, but with a limit.
"I must make a
confession. I who have poisoned the Crown Prince, I envy, for losing a child.
The princes have grown to inherit the throne. I intend to get rid of Prince Moo",
without the slightest hesitation of Sanggung Oh's words, she is prepared to
endure the mistake that Hae Soo never made. "Do not try to defend her!!!"
King Taejo's voice thundered as if a thunderbolt ripped through the sky. Not
one bit believed in Sanggung Oh's words.
"Why should an
innocent girl be sentenced to death? I will acknowledge the murder plan. Let
Soo ... " Sanggung Oh's words cut off, The Majesty King looks away.
"I did not hear
it!" King Taejo's breath hunted, he faced a difficult set of words. Shadow
Oh pulled out a sheet of shabby cloth covered in blood.
"Ten years ago,
a queen sent quince tea to cure morning sickness. Every day I drink that tea,
even wake up at night. In less than a week I lost the son of The Royal Highness
King Taejo. The pain of losing a child, because she accidentally killed a
queen. Now, I consider Soo a biological child. I do not want to lose, because
the same queen treatment", eyes Sanggung Oh teary. The position of a queen
has separated from a loved one, then seizes an innocent baby in the womb by
sending the quince. Will she remain silent when the queen will drag Hae Soo to
the gate.
"Soo is not your daughter who died. We
can not prove my wife to do it!" King Taejo's face changed, pale moment, a
little red, the contents of his chest as if stirred.
"Will The
Majesty ignore this request? I will not live longer, two years of
gastrointestinal disorder. Tabib palace says I am suffering from a severe
stomach illness, without any treatment ability. I know The Majesty puts the
Crown Prince more than Soo. I know you The Majesty can not save them both.
However, this time do not let the consort grab her. If there is one request and
that's the last request, save Soo, my daughter", Sanggung Oh does not
change the decision, she has only one way of saving Hae Soo, by sacrificing the
rest of her short life.
"Did you also
let me down?" King Taejo asked back, his eyes changed as if they were
embers, but soon went out when linked with Sanggung Oh's cold gaze. The lady's
head gaze-the only woman he loved, though she could never wear a queen's
clothes, spoke of a thousand unbearable pains, with one plea. Only death can
end it. The atmosphere was silent, cold and lonely like around the cemetery.
***
The next day, when
the sun rose with a pale light almost extinguished. Prince Wang So ran hastily
with a sword blade unsheathed in hand. The gallows are ready for the death
penalty, the 4th prince's blood boiling as Hae Soo looks dragged in white
clothing, a bruised face, and a stumbling step. Can he watch a beloved girl die
on a stake, because of the sins of others? While Hae Soo seems to lose some
awareness, everything seems blurry. She was not dreaming, she was being dragged
toward the stake to leave life forever in a futile way. The eyes were pained
looking around "Am I going to die? Where's Prince Wook? He must come to
see me ", the girl's heart screamed.
Prince Wang Wook's
preview seemed to be swallowed by the earth, who came to look at him is Prince
Wang So. The 4th Prince is not playing while wielding a sword toward every
bodyguard who is hauling Hae Soo. Swiftly he drew the limp body of the poor
lady, looking for a gap to escape from this cursed place. At the same time Choi
Ji Mong suddenly came up with a letter in hand, "The King's Commandment!
The hanging was cancelled. We found the culprit ", for Hae Soo the voice
sounded like a miracle.
She no longer fears
the face of death, but no longer endures with all the pain, because of
punishment. Her footsteps even turned limp. The fog seemed to dance with no
shape, the thicker, the bolder the bone marrow. Hae Soo's staggering body
immediately drooped in Prince Wang So. But who is the real murderer whom the
Royal King has established? Finally Sanggung Oh runs the role of a goat
sacrifice, her steps do not hesitate when heading to the hanging pole in white
clothing. She is sure to end this life, no one can save Hae Soo except her
death. While life is only for her for a while, Hae Soo still has a long time to
live her destiny. She was not on her way to the gallows in vain. All the ladies
stared at her in despair and question marks that would never be answered.
If all the tears of
court palace pouring turned into ocean waves, is there The Majesty King will change
the decision? No lady said, all silent with a broken heart. Prince Wang So with
Hae Soo came shortly afterwards with eyes wide, disbelieving with his eyesight. Why
Sanggung Oh is wearing all-white clothes steadfastly towards the gallows,
fetching death. Had she really made a mistake? Did she poison the Crown Prince?
Hae Soo's heart seemed to stop beating when faced with that pretty face, a face
that suddenly turned frozen as if the body was in the kitten.
"Sorry, because
I have trapped you", Sanggung Oh's voice is very calm, in Hae Soo's ear
the voice is changed as if the waves breaking down by the storm of the ocean.
Impossible Sanggung Oh trap her. Hae Soo can not help herself, she grabs
Sanggung Oh's hand and takes her away, her limping step. The punishment behind
the bars on the charge of poisoning the Crown Prince causes a defect in her leg
bone. The guards wanted to pursue both, but Prince Wang So stopped her.
"Let, they will
not belong". The guards halt the pace, trembling with cold and firm stance
of the 4th Prince. Hae Soo brings Sanggung Oh to a secret place, there is still
a chance to escape, ending the whole life in the palace. However, the secret
door had been closed, buried in rocks.
"Before, you
wanted to go back to the village, now is the time, I come with you. I can not
live like this anymore", Hae Soo frantically trying to get rid of the
stones that shut the secret door. Tears Sanggung Oh, clear as dew, she pulls
Hae Soo.
"Stop ..."
Hae Soo did not hear Sanggung Oh's remark, she was unable to accept the fact,
Sanggung Oh will be a victim on the gallows for her safety. The lady's chief
had never tricked, never intended to kill the Crown Prince. Why should there be
such a tragedy?
"It's not your
fault, I did not do it for you, but for The Royal Highness. My age is not long
anymore, no need to be compassionate or guilty. No matter, I protect what I
want to protect, with all the consequences to bear. Nothing to be regretted. Be
careful always in everything. Never trust anyone completely. Always watch out
for every step, humans seem to walk on a thin layer of ice. Save your life, do
not end like this ", is the last message Sanggung Oh that causes Hae Soo's
whole body to float down from the high cliff to the bottom of the deepest ravine
without light. The air evaporates into smoke and then blisters into hot coals
of fire. Why should anyone who volunteers on the stake bears the guilt of
others, for he is not a queen? Why? If can yell, but Hae Soo's throat is
choked. She clearly sees injustice, does the judiciary system without
prosecutors, defenders, and judges? Except for the decision of The Royal Majesty
determines the life of an innocent dead. It is true that she has fallen into a
time far, far away. Hae Soo feels her tongue is bitter, the sun goes out for
today and so on.
The pant is limping,
rushing to the courtyard of The Royal Highness then sat limp. Her voice was a
whisper that only a person who could care less, weak, whispered. "The
King, please pull back the decision, Sanggung Oh not the culprit. Forgive
Sanggung Oh ... " Hae Soo sat for hours with the limp body and dry lips, she
forgot to count the time, she forgot to eat and drink, even when the hot sun
turned into a drizzle, as if thousands of angels who participated mourn and sob
shed tears Prince Wang Wook hurriedly ran, he was about to approach poor Hae
Soo, he was about to do something. However, his foot stalled, with the ice-cold
stare of Princess Yeon Hwa and Queen Hwangbo standing in front of his.
"Back, never
get involved in this matter," Princess Yeon Hwa said firmly.
"Mom never blocks your step, but this
time it must. You can go by stepping over your mother's body. A mother's
obligation protects her children. You do not know the meaning of Sanggung Oh
for The Royal Majesty, if you are involved just as you have prepared a gallows
for your death. Do you think he can lose? "Queen Hwangbo asserted, she
never doubted, she knew that the palace walls seemed capable of listening and
speaking. Her job prevented Wang Wook from getting too far. She would not be
able to lose Wang Wook. Where Prince Wook Wook stood there, the queen's
mother's words caused his footsteps to stop, he knew he could never walk again.
He is horrified to lose Hae Soo, but the more terrible actually is the dead mother
of the queen and Yeon Hwa. Prince Wang Wook stared at Queen Hwangbo and
Princess Yeon Hwa alternating with a chaotic look, he could no longer do
anything except cursing himself.
Not long after Queen
Yoo accompanied the ladies passing by, her face remained arrogant. Her eyes
sharply glanced at Prince Wang Wook, "Apparently a handsome prince of the
Kingdom of Goryeo, the court scholar has fallen in love with a low ladylike
Hae Soo. Is it true? "Queen Hwangbo's blood is absorbed, she knows the
meaning of Queen Yoo's eyes and words.
“Apologies The
Majesty, all of them just because of misunderstanding. The relationship between
Wook and Hae Soo is only limited to brother-in-law ", Queen Hwangbo's
voice humbles. She does not want Queen Yoo to plot a vile plan for Wang Wook,
the Queen can do it. Queen Yoo's face remains arrogant without change with the defence of Queen Hwangbo, woman in power in Goryeo, she can do anything.
Including destroying the Queen Hwangbo family without any trace and
retaliation. Queen Hwangbo humbly kneels for Wang Wook, apologizing with deep
anxiety.
"Did The
Majesty Queen does not feel enough to throw me out? Please do not bother Wook and
Yeon Hwa, I can not afford to lose them suffering. Please ... " Queen
Hwangbo forgets her high position, she even begs for the safety of Wang Wook
and Yeon Hwa.
"Should Wook
know who you are and where you are? Stand up, the ladies see all this ...
" Queen Yoo's attitude remains haughty and cynical, in fact, she does not
want the presence of Queen Hwangbo in this palace, with a cunning she can get
rid of. She can get rid of anyone who does not want her presence in the palace.
She is in charge of it.
While Hae Soo still
kneels in the courtyard of The Majesty King is supervised by armed guards.
Prince Baek Ah could hardly stem the tears, what a mistake the girl was except
a lady who loved the princes. The palace walls are too arrogant for a lady's
voice. Prince Baek Ah feels the need to approach, "Are you all
right?" Prince Baek Ah's heart sliced.
"Stop it, go
back to where it started. It is impossible to change the decision of The Royal
Highness. Why risk his life to save her. You're just doing a futile act. "
" At least
begging better than silent does nothing", Hae Soo's voice softened. Could
she forgive herself if Sanggung Oh ended up living on a gallows? The rest of
the age is a dime, because illness is not a reason for death. Make a mistake.
"Then I can not
stop you. Hang in there, I'll prepare the best medicine ... " Prince Baek
Ah knows this girl always has a hard desire, not easily influenced.
"Where is
Prince Wook?" A question that can not be answered by Prince Baek Ah.
"Forget ...
" Prince Baek's voice sad. Prince Wang Wook would want to approach this
lady, but can he resist the orders of Queen Hwangbo's mother? Prince Baek Ah's
chest was painful.
***
Queen Hwangbo
finally meets The Majesty King, she
needs to plead at the last moment before the hanging is done. "Is not the
decision can be re-considered. Hanging sanctions for Sanggung Oh will make The
Majesty King grieve and lonely. It is important to protect Goryeo and save Crown
Prince, but it is also necessary to save the one who makes The Majesty
comfortable", Queen Hwangbo's voice is softly soft, she knows the ordinance
of a man who is asking The Lord.
" Thus the
heavy duty of a King, I will do everything that can I do not have to feel
lonely ", it is not easy for King Taejo to fulfil any request to review
hanging, although it resulted very bitterly for private life.
From the heavy rain
clouds, the air froze. Hae Soo did not budge, the lady did have a pretty hard
head, she still sat asking under the rain with wet clothes. Prince Wang Jung
feels sorry, he intends to give paying, but the Crown Prince's hand restrained
him. The rain remained shed as though weeping from sorrow. Prince Wang Jung
fails to pay, he sat in the rain, proving himself able to feel what Hae Soo
felt. Prince Baek Ah and Crown Prince do the same, sitting in the rain asking
for The Royal Majesty's favour.
Instead Prince Won
turned, he was not involved in this, he did not feel obliged to do anything,
especially sat down to ask The Majesty King under the rain. Soon, Prince Wang
Wook appeared, stepped slowly toward where Hae Soo was wet drenched with rainwater. Prince Wook's eyes were anxious
worries, anxiety, and pity. For a moment Hae Soo cheered silently, Prince Wang
Wook always keep his promise. However, in a moment the hope was extinguished as
if a weak embers were showered with rain. Suddenly Prince Wang Wook stops,
turning away. The 8th prince is in an exciting inner conflict, to save Hae Soo
or Queen Hwangbo's mother and Yeoh Hwa. With bitter Prince Wang Wook turned out
to choose mother and sister. One thing he can do when Hae Soo's death is to
re-cursing herself. He had spit then licked it back. Suppose Hae Soo knows how
difficult his choice is right now?
"Why?" Hae Soo asked silently.
Prince Wang Wook, a beloved and expected protector turned away at an important
moment when he needed. His tongue feels bitter, Hae Soo knows she will not be
able to repeat the memorable moments with the 8th Prince. The hope ended in the
courtyard of this palace. Wang Wook has gone away for a reason she will never
understand. Hae Soo's body felt as if she lost her entire bones, she had to
understand the meaning of empty feeling, a time when she could no longer feel
anything. The atmosphere around was even too silent without a sound, the roar
of the rain turned into a painful scream of heart.
As Hae Soo felt
discouraged after Prince Wang Wook turned away, the rain continued to pour out,
her whole body floppy. Suddenly she felt the rain no longer wet her body
despite still falling. A shadow stood behind her slumped back. When she
realized what was happening, Hae Soo cheered again in her heart. Prince Wang So
stood up to the fullest faith that would happen, he covered his beautiful and
beautiful robes to shade Hae Soo's head. Soo knows, she is not alone in a state of despair,
the 4th Prince never break the promise, he remains with her. Hae Soo sit back
straight, her strength is only remaining, The Majesty King never appeared, her
request was never followed up. Did she have to surrender? Apparently The
Majesty never changed his decision, he
accepted the sacrifice of Sanggung Oh to save Queen Yoo, Crown Prince, and Hae
Soo.
Sanggung Oh has been
convinced by every step, she has determined fast and courageous action at a
critical moment. She was walking towards the hanging pole when she passed Queen
Yoo. The Queen's eyes seemed to boil as she looked at Sanggung Oh's beautiful
face that was now as pale as paper. She deliberately stopped the step of the
lady's head. "I always wanted to see you die, my dreams finally come true.
You are right to lose and I win. To die first means to lose ", Queen Yoo's
hatred towards Sanggung Oh will not end if the lady's chief ends life on a
hanging pole. She is a queen, but The Royal Highness thinks of her as a greedy
woman.
Sanggung Oh just a
concubine, her ability to concoct herbs escort her as lady's head at Damowon
Palace. But Queen Yoo always knows, who is between them, among all the
concubines who get the love of a king. "Does The Majesty know? that I've
never really lost ", only Sanggung Oh is able to avenge Yoo's awful gaze. She
knew she had won a king, though she had never been entitled to wear the dress
of a queen's greatness. Yoo, just a poor queen.
"Will that
self-esteem remain until your last breath?" Queen Yoo's blood is now boiling,
Sanggung Oh always knows her weakness, even if it's a lady.
"I pray The Majesty has a long life. I
will watch The Highness from the heights. How lonely and painful the day of
death for you to arrive", Sangung Oh will not budge, she never feels
defeated.
"I am empress,
you are just a ladies palace meaningless who will not remember anyone",
Queen Yoo actually wonder, at the last moment after losing a baby, after being
bullied, and ending on a hanging pole. Sanggung Oh still has a firm attitude,
not fear in front of her. In front of a queen.
"I only need
one person to keep in mind", is the last sentence of Sanggung Oh. She knew
that The King the only loved one would never forget even the death of
separating. Furthermore, the lady's head stepped toward the hanging pole, she
felt as if a dried leaf drifted by a seasonal wind to a place without a map. The
whole life that became a long story ended here, she did not do all this in
vain, she loved Hae Soo beyond her own life. She took the right steps. The fog
seemed to go down in the air smothering all the breath, everything seemed white,
far and quiet. When her entire face was closed, a rope caught her neck, the
executioner kicked the bench, the poor body hanging, losing her life.
Only a groan that no
one can hear but the fragile heart of a king who is always hidden behind the
majesty of the throne. The Majesty King must know the meaning of pain, loss and
then void. The imperious wall of the palace seemed to mock and laugh at him, he
had nearly 30 women, but the only one loved now was gone, leaving his whole
life, because of his decision. If he was justified crying until the tears turned
into a pool of blood. In his silence anger and pain. Strapping body was
suddenly swayed, almost falling down if Choi Ji Mong not act swiftly save him.
The hanging penalty marker is complete, resonates to fill the air, all the
ladies shed tears. The rest is fixated, greed always asks the victim.
In the courtyard of
Hae Soo's palace is a man who is clearly neglected, The Majesty did not spend a
second for her presence, she was just a beggar who had the misfortune. The fate
became more and more uncertain when she heard the sound of a hammered marker,
that the hanging was over. The lady shook her head, hoping it was all a
nightmare that would soon end when she was awake. "Sanggung Oh ...
Sanggung ..." Hae Soo is still able to scream, wriggle in the lap of
Prince Wang So. "If I realize, I have to sacrifice the safety of others.
If only it was a dream. I wish I could wake up and never remember all this ...
" Hae Soo sobs, she's dragged too far in "war" with the enemy in
the blanket. She was just a helpless woman with a deep, deep fulness who cut her
like a sword.
