episode_0049

After taking the Geukyangjihwan, Yeocheong became an expectant mother.

If there is one side effect that isn’t a side effect, just like the time of the examination, it is that her internal energy pockets before the interruption have grown considerably.

“Is it true that what you say with your mouth and what you really mean are different?”

Geomseong spoke self-deprecatingly and smiled bitterly while looking at Yeocheong’s internal energy pockets.

“Did you originally think that way, or did you just say it in a way that seemed plausible to others out of consideration for your own reputation?”

“Isn’t it different depending on how much you want it?”

Do-hwang replied to Geom-seong’s self-mocking words.

“Wishes can’t be limited to just one. If someone were to ask you what your most urgent wish is, you’d probably say one wish that’s urgent, but if they were to ask you to grant three or ten more wishes, wouldn’t you be even more troubled?”

Perhaps because he had been active in the martial arts world longer than Geomseong, Do-hwang’s words were sharp and piercing, as if they were a deathblow to the very essence of humanity.

“Human greed is endless. When one thing is satisfied, we want something else, and even when that is satisfied, we become even more greedy in that direction.”

“Umm….”

“You are satisfied with yourself because you think you are already complete, but some people, even if they seem to have enough on the outside, want more. This is why you can say that those who have more are more.”

“In that case…at least for Yeocheong, I guess we can say no.”

At Geomseong’s words, Yeocheong slowly opens her eyes.

As if he had fallen asleep somewhere, he blinked his eyes with a hazy face and tried to wake up.

“…….”

Yeocheong raises her body.

She sat up awkwardly from her lying position, twisting her body as if something was awkward.

“Hmm…?”

And then she realized.

“!!”

The internal energy pockets in his mid-fight suddenly swelled.

It must be embarrassing.

However, to some people, it may be provocative to touch and check in such an obvious way.

Sasak.

As soon as I saw her hand going straight to her lower abdomen, I was able to put aside my misunderstandings about her.

“Yeongcheong Gong. It’s okay.”

“That, that’s…!”

“Just as when Geom-hu became Geom-hui and became able to have children, she did a little more half-moon movement, and when Yeo-cheong became able to have children, her breasts only got bigger.”

“Ah….”

“Now that you have a body that can give birth with peace of mind, you can get pregnant with peace of mind. However….”

I pointed to the floor as the young woman slowly let go of her anxiety.

“Regarding the Murong family, I hope you can help Murong family protect themselves from evil people by connecting with the palace.”

“…How can I help you?”

“Please build a bridge to the palace.”

“Bridge.”

“I hope the highest authority in the palace and the Murong family will work closely together.”

The young women also have power.

As the benefactor who saved the Emperor and as the Imperial Swordsman, Yeocheong symbolizes the unofficial power of the Imperial Family.

After all, isn’t it a bit embarrassing to say that a person who has learned martial arts in the imperial family, and who is not a general, is the strongest in the imperial family?

As a result, the Yeocheong cannot externally display its power compared to the military power it possesses, and so its ‘public power’ can be said to be relatively weak.

“If someday, the people of the martial arts world, or rather, the general public, commit a crime against the Murong Sega family, then the public authorities can step in and suppress them.”

“…I see what you mean.”

Yeo-cheong put her hand on her chest and nodded silently.

“If everyone had this kind of miracle, the world would surely fall into great chaos. Even if it’s just the extreme Yangjihwan right now….”

Yeo-cheong swallows her saliva and holds back her words.

I, Geomseong, and everyone else in the room are trying to hide something.

“Black.”

“Hmm.”

Then he turned his gaze towards Geomseong and just stared at him silently.

‘Earthquake?’

They say that among the best, you can have a conversation by passing on your inner strength.

‘Looking at Do-hwang’s expression, it really seems like the two of them are talking alone.’

Judging from the slightly stiff expression on Do-hwang’s face, it seems that he is not capable of secretly eavesdropping on the transmission.

Even among experts in the same field, there are levels.

The current situation is not something that can be discussed only in that way, but even among the current masters, some may be stronger in martial arts, while others may be more excellent in telepathy or lightness techniques.

“… Indeed. It seems it wasn’t a mistake.”

Yeocheong stares at me intently.

From where her gaze landed, I could sense what Yeo-cheong had asked Geom-seong.

The place where Yeo-cheong’s gaze landed was my blood vessels.

‘You found out that my blood is the material.’

He must have noticed the faint taste of blood in the Geukyangjihwan, and he must have realized that it was my blood.

I guess so.

He would have raided all the herbal medicine stores that did business with Mo Yong-se, and even if there were dozens, hundreds, or even more herbs, he would have devised all the combination methods in an attempt to discover the secret of the Geukyangjihwan.

Whether it’s a drug specifically for treating arrhythmias or something else, the palace doesn’t control or regulate the affairs of the martial arts world, but it accumulates information so that it can intervene at any time.

In that sense, I am worried about how much information Yeo-cheong will reveal to the palace.

“I’m sorry, but from now on, I would like to have only Representative Seok and Geomseong left to talk.”

Yeocheong had a determined look on her face, hoping to defeat the person.

“Look here, young lady.”

“I’m sorry, Do-hwang. I know that Do-hwang arranged this meeting, but I will first listen to the parties involved and then speak to Do-hwang separately.”

“Ugh. It’s a shame, but is it the government’s fault?”

“Yes.”

“Then there’s nothing I can do. …But.”

Do-hwang stood up from his seat, trying to shake off his foolish thoughts, but shrugged his shoulders and pointed at me.

“If we leave Rep. Seok behind, I think it would be right to leave one other person behind to talk about it.”

“Yes?”

“Aren’t couples one body?”

Do-hwang winks at me and steps back.

“……You are a good person.”

Then, Mo Yong-seol, who had been linking arms with me, leaned closer to me and nodded as if Geom-seong was a given, waving his hand behind me.

As expected, it’s Do-hwang.

With just one word, he deepened his relationship with Mo Yong-se in an instant.

“Excuse me, Miss Moyong.”

Only after everyone else, including Geom-hu, had left, leaving only Geom-seong, Mo-yong-seol, and Yeo-cheong quietly opened her mouth.

“That’s not to say that I didn’t mean to exclude Mo Yong-seo. In fact, I do feel a bit uneasy about talking about this, but I think the content of the conversation might be a bit awkward for Mo Yong-seo.”

Although Yeo-cheong’s speech was long, I could immediately understand in which parts she was considerate of Mo-yong-seol.

“Are you talking about the penis?”

“……!!”

The young woman’s eyes widened.

A hint that he didn’t expect me to be able to read his own thoughts so accurately.

“That….”

“I don’t think it’s His Majesty the Emperor.”

“…….”

At the same time, Yeo-cheong began to quickly look at me with a very tense face.

“If you want to establish a connection with the imperial power through this young lady…”

“Nine out of ten would naturally think of the person whom Lady Yeo-cheong risked her life to save, His Majesty the Emperor. However, no matter how earnestly His Majesty the Emperor wishes for something, wouldn’t there be a procedure before that?”

“…….”

“I would like to contact the most senior eunuch and the most powerful person in the court, ‘Tae-Hwan-Gong’.”

You shouldn’t go straight to the emperor.

Before going straight to the Emperor, we need to secure one person on our side who has the power to unite all the ministers of the court.

“Yeochong Gong. You have now been ‘cured of infertility’. Let’s put aside everything else and just talk about ‘overcoming infertility’. ”

Yeocheong became able to get pregnant.

“If a woman can do it, why wouldn’t a man be able to do it?”

“……!”

“I don’t know what Tae-Hwan-Gong truly wants, but if he wants it back, I can restore it for him.”

Why would a woman be able to do it but a man can’t?

What was not there is being created again, what has disappeared is being regenerated or revived, so what would the eunuch Taehwan-gong, who had to have his genitals cut off in his childhood in order to enter the palace, think when he hears Yeo-cheong’s story?

“If the Duke of Yeocheong is said to be the savior who saved His Majesty the Emperor’s life, then it goes without saying that the Duke of Taehwan rose from the position of a low-ranking eunuch to the top of the eunuchs…”

“He is the great-uncle and teacher who assisted His Majesty the Emperor since the time when the current Emperor was not yet the Crown Prince, and made great contributions to helping him sit on the throne.”

Yeocheong nodded her head vigorously.

“I will speak to Taehwan-gong and bring him here to Moyongse-ga. However…”

“Just?”

“That’s it.”

The young woman hesitates, as if she feels embarrassed or as if she cannot say anything.

Unlike when he relayed the message to Geomseong and said that he had accurately figured out the secret of the Geukyangjihwan, he was reluctant to talk about it to anyone who wasn’t involved.

“That’s….”

“Is this a story about [the unrivaled king]?”

At Geomseong’s words, Yeocheong’s eyes shook like a poplar tree.

“The unrivaled…King? Father, who is that person…?”

“… He is known as the king of the art of swearing. He is so great and famous in that area that there is even a story that the sex workers of the Central Plains once set a trap by throwing their women away just to hear the secrets of the swearing king’s art.”

The unrivaled king.

It’s a name I’ve heard before.

A master of sex who was crazy about color and even the Heavenly Demon said that if he ruled the Central Plains martial arts world, he would definitely find out about the actions of the Unrivaled King.

“That’s….”

“Who would know? The famous eunuch of Sapha, who can send women to paradise without a penis, is actually the best eunuch in the country.”

“…….”
