“First, you two, we will cleanse your bodies by taking a bath.”

The emperor is the pillar of this empire.

There are many steps that must be taken to meet the emperor. Basically, does he have a disease that could be transmitted to the emperor? Is it hygienically acceptable? Isn’t he hiding something in his body that could harm the emperor?

Is he someone who can influence the emperor’s mood or not? Or is it someone who can shake the emperor’s thoughts and concepts?

Well, I mean, check all these things.

Under the watchful eye of the court ladies, he was completely undressed and thoroughly cleaned after confirming that he had nothing to hide.

As all the beautiful court ladies helped me take a bath, I felt a little strange, but when I saw the looks in their eyes, that feeling cooled down.

A look in his eyes that shows his will to detect even the slightest bit of suspiciousness in his every move.

Sojungi, who had been struggling under that persistent gaze, also fell limp, declaring surrender.

After the bath, my clothes disappeared somewhere and I was given guest clothes.

“Today, I will relieve my travel fatigue. From this day onwards, we will explain the basic rules for treating members of the imperial family.”

From the mouth of the palace maid, precautions to be followed during public hearings poured out. Guests must not approach Gongcheongjeon’s guests carelessly, and must obtain permission from Gongcheongjeon when entering other rooms.

It is possible to practice martial arts, but you must speak to the court lady in advance and get permission to use the training hall. Of course, it is also impossible to go outside of Gongcheongjeon Hall, and no matter where you go, you must be accompanied by at least one court lady.

It’s so breathtaking.

Nodding her head, the middle-aged court lady said goodbye and left the room.

I was worried about what would happen to Hyuk Kirin’s cross-dressing issue, but this is the imperial palace, which is like Hyuk Kirin’s courtyard. Well, I guess you handled it well.

In the end, is Ungi Josik the only thing that can be done properly against an opponent trapped in this stuffy room?

Even though it was possible to use a training ground, there was a high possibility that the sword in the training room was either a fake sword or a wooden sword. If you try to sharpen your skills with a sword that is not your own, you are likely to lose your sense of it.

In that case, it was right to invest time in fortune telling in order to liquidate the remnants of the five elixirs in the body.

Let’s focus on fortune-telling for a while and take care of the inside of the body.

With that thought in mind, I immediately sat cross-legged.

“We will go out in secret. Get ready.”

“Okay.”

Yugyeong’s inner officials prepared to secretly carry out the secret mission without saying a word. The destination of the secret journey was obvious. It must be to visit Gongcheongjeon, where Hyeok Kirin is staying.

The fact that Hyeok Kirin is living as a martial artist to avoid power struggles is a secret that is not a secret that only those who are knowledgeable about the circumstances of the imperial palace would know.

The eunuchs were busy moving around, taking on numerous courtiers and creating an intangible path that was not visible to anyone except those involved.

Yu-kyung listened to the public hearing with anticipation.

The courtiers of Gongcheng Hall quietly welcomed the emperor.

“The public hearing process should proceed as long as possible.”

“I will handle it as your Majesty wishes. As an outsider, I will fulfill my role in public hearing even more thoroughly.”

Yu-kyung nodded and stood in front of Hyuk Kirin’s room.

“Hyeok Kirin Daehyeop, the guest has arrived.”

“At this time…? Please stop by.”

Yu-kyung and Hyuk-ki-rin face each other. Hyuk Kirin’s eyes opened wide, and Yu-kyung also looked at Hyuk Kirin with passionate eyes.

“Yuya…”

“I meet you, my brother, no, your Majesty the Emperor.”

Yu-gyeong gestured, and the eunuchs greeted everyone, including the court ladies, closed the door, and disappeared. Only then were the two barely able to remain alone.

Yu-kyung hurriedly helped Hyeok-ki-rin stand up. Yu-kyung held Hyuk Kirin’s hand and helped him up, taking in Hyuk Kirin’s appearance. Hyeok Gi-rin left the imperial family at the age of fourteen. After that, when Hyuk Kirin became a member of the contract, I saw his face briefly at an official event.

Another six years passed by like that.

It was the first time in twelve years that we had held hands like this.

“Hehe…You’ve grown a lot, Yuya…”

“Your brother also has a lot of authority.”

Hyuk Kirin happily welcomed his brother, but Yu-kyung was heartbroken. The very fact that she was dressing as a man, wearing a towel on her head, let alone putting on makeup, even though she was in her prime as a woman, broke Yu-kyung’s heart.

“I’m sorry, I don’t have enough strength…”

“Don’t say that. I am doing well in Jeomchangpa.”

“…Okay. I had heard the news well.”

The news that Yuya’s princess, Hyeok-ki-rin, was living in the martial forest always brought Yu-gyeong joy and sadness. Hyeok Kirin excels in martial arts and lives as a martial artist recognized by everyone.

I was proud of the fact that he did not rest on his laurels in the imperial family and achieved a lot through hard work, but I was also worried that instead of living a peaceful and peaceful life as a member of the imperial family, he was living a difficult life, suffering from all the rubella of Gangho.

“You really did something big this time. It’s really great. Since he established the morals of the people and punished evil, it was no different from contributing to maintaining the laws of the country. Also, it can be said that his contribution is very great as he has filled the treasury by splitting the stomachs of the wicked.”

Hyeok Kirin smiled bitterly and tried to deny the credit, but soon changed his mind.

‘Ike, if you show interest in warrior Ho for no reason, big trouble could happen…’

“It’s all thanks to Governor Sima Yeon’s efforts. Like a Sima governor, he was aware of all the circumstances and was quietly waiting for the right moment.”

“Yes, that guy’s insidiousness is very reassuring when he is an ally. Sometimes I don’t really care, but…”

“Hehe, Governor Sima is working to the point of breaking his bones for Sichuan, so don’t speak too harshly.”

Naturally, the two started talking about what happened in Sichuan Province. Hyeok Kirin, a great disciple of the Jeomchang sect. Yugyeong, the emperor. There weren’t many topics on which two people whose lives had already diverged greatly could talk about each other.

And it was clear that Hocheonan’s operation in Sichuan Province was an exciting story for anyone who heard it.

Hyuk Kirin only talked about how the incident unfolded, except for the fact that Ho Cheon-an planned the operation.

“Hahahaha! Yes, Tang Jia’s Tzu Chi and Sima Yan have developed the right strategy! Attacking a small number of soldiers with a large number of troops is the basis of strategy.”

Yu-gyeong chuckled after hearing the story of the bandit suppression. It was a story that was collected in a report from Dongchang, the imperial palace’s intelligence agency, or written in Sima Yan’s appeal, but unlike the rigid narrative for reporting, Hyeok Kirin’s story had a lively feel to it.

“Have you ever heard of what Sacheon Rongin does?”

“I took this opportunity to find out. They are people who do very interesting things.”

Hyeok Kirin’s story continued. How the triumph ceremony took place and how the clans of Sichuan Province lived as they adapted to the grading system after the ceremony were also quite interesting stories.

“Hehe, encourage competition by giving grades that anyone can understand. It’s not an idea that Sima Yan would come up with. But it really has a good impact.”

“That’s right.”

Hyeok Kirin talked about the funny things that were happening in Sichuan Province due to Young Young Geon and the belt, and Yu Kyeong also listened to the story with pleasure. In addition, the changes taking place surrounding the completed bandit subjugation monument, which can be said to be hot news, and the responses of the clans were also a good story.

‘You really live a different life.’

Yu-kyung felt Hyuk-ki-rin, not Yu-ya, in that story. The life of Okryong Shinhyeop Hyeok Kirin, a great disciple of the Jeomchang sect. The story contained the life of an unmanned person who wields weapons to solve problems on his own, rather than the way a powerful person handles tasks by enlisting others.

Yu-kyung’s heart felt heavy as she watched Hyuk Kirin chattering away.

“Yuya.”

“So…yes?”

“Why don’t you come back to the imperial palace?”

Hyuk Kirin’s expression became serious.

“Brother, I live as a martial artist.”

“Yes, I know. So that’s what I’m saying.”

Yu-kyung felt a sense of crisis. The appearance of Hyeok Kirin, who should be called Jade Dragon Credit Union rather than a princess. Hyeok Kirin was happily living the life of a military man. And life as a princess…

“Is there a guy you like?”

“, what are you saying all of a sudden!”

Hyuk Kirin jumped at Yu-kyung’s completely unexpected words. Yu-kyung found a way out and her eyes lit up. Yes, it must be hard to play a completely different gender. The nickname is Okryong Credit Union. No matter where you go, there is a cart of people who love you.

“I’ve never even thought about that, and there are people who think about it…”

Seeing Hyuk Kirin’s words becoming blurred, Yu-kyung…laughed and then said.

“Yes. Are you a guy?”

In “?”

“What is that bastard doing?”

“…Brother.”

Yu-kyung came to her senses when she saw Hyeok-ki-rin’s cold gaze. for a moment. What was I doing? Wasn’t it a situation where he was trying to persuade Hyeok Kirin to return to the imperial family?

Yoo-chan, Yu-gyeong’s son, is fourteen this year. When Yu Chan turns 20, the justification for establishing Hyeok Kirin as emperor is completely destroyed. In other words, the succession structure is completely stable.

At that time, it would have been no problem even if Hyuk Kirin had given up on the life of a martial artist and returned as a princess. However, if he lives here as a martial artist for six more years, Hyeok Kirin will completely become a martial artist.

now. If she didn’t catch it now, there was a strong possibility that the Yuya in front of her would end up living her life as a Jade Dragon Credit Union rather than a princess.

okay. I am currently in the process of persuading Hyeok Kirin. In order to turn Hyeok Kirin back into a princess, she needs a family, and in order to create a family, she needs a man to take Hyuk Kirin in…

A man who will hold on to his cute little brother who won’t hurt even if he puts it in his eyes…

Wow.

I had to endure it. It was a sacrifice of a cow for the greater good. This was the only way to turn Hyeok Kirin back into a princess right now. As a cross-dressing woman, Hyeok Gi-rin had to make her return to the imperial family by instilling in her the dream of creating a peaceful family, which she could not achieve.

“Heh heh, heh heh. Hehehehe! Still, it seems like there is someone who has his heart set on him! Hahahahaha!”

It’s just that people’s hearts don’t always move as they wish.

“Ha…Brother.”

“Whahahaha! okay! Tell me about the person you have in mind. I’m curious about this brother too.”

“How can I say anything! Didn’t you say it wasn’t there in the first place?”

Yu-kyung thought.

I will definitely find out who he is and catch him and kill him… no, I will have to instigate a romantic relationship with Hyeok Kirin.
