The Imperial Palace of Luoyang.

In Daejeon, where civil servants and the emperor gathered for a meeting, a report was being read.

“There was almost no one in Agyang who did not know about the fact that he had privately mobilized the imperial army to destroy the merchant houses. Accordingly, an investigation was launched, and it turned out that the Governor of Akyang had regularly urged officials under his command to give bribes and provided entertainment to prominent figures and those in official positions based on the bribes….”

The civil and military officials who attended the Daejeon conference rolled their eyes and looked at their seats as they listened to the contents of the reports one after another.

It was a place where Dochalwon officials gathered.

The subjects realized that today’s Daejeon meeting would not be smooth at all and sighed inwardly as they noticed that the head of the Dochalwon, Doosa, had half of his face and several of the Dochalwon officials who were supposed to be guarding the back of the temple were nowhere to be seen.

“… After completing all investigations, it was confirmed that the Governor-General had forced a bribe, and it was confirmed that he was trying to cover up his actions by messily exercising his right to recommend the Supreme Court to avoid surveillance. Therefore, I request that the governors who actively followed the governor’s policies and policies and brought in their own ships be punished.”

“This is truly a sight.”

just as expected. As Yu-gyeong opened her mouth as if waiting for the appeal to be read out, the subjects bowed deeply.

“I will discuss the right and wrong of the governor in my own separate position. Did you know anything about the governor’s behavior this time?”

Even if they knew, it was not a place where they could open their mouths, so the subjects bowed even further. And a thought occurred to the minds of the old people who were familiar with the Daejeon Conference.

That’s coming.

Wow!!

As soon as the old gods could think of such a thing, Yugyeong hit the armrest of the throne.

“What on earth are these people doing!”

The officials of the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Education unanimously answered.

“I apologize! Your Majesty!”

“Are there just one or two people who frequently talk about Dongdong Lake and Agyangru and apply for a long-term vacation? No, are there people here who have not been to Dongdong Lake? But why is it that no one was able to understand the circumstances that these things were happening in Agyang, Honam?”

“I’m sorry! Your Majesty!”

“Apologies? Sorry Is that guy saying he’s sorry? What on earth did the officials do when Agyang was accused of such corruption and trickery? Is it all about climbing Ayangnu Pavilion and enjoying the scenery of Dongjeong Lake? I realized that I was an official when I took off my official uniform and went up to Agyangru!”

“I’m sorry!! Your Majesty!!”

Boom! Boom!

“From now on, subjects who include sightseeing at Dongdong Lake in their reasons for vacation will have to be prepared!!!”

Yugyeong’s anger continued throughout the Daejeon Conference, and when the long Daejeon Conference ended, the subjects had to leave the palace, patting their stiff backs to ask them to maintain their bent posture.

“The more I think about it, the more shameful it becomes! Isn’t it possible that among them there may be those who were entertained by the chief executive? Even if I didn’t receive the treatment, someone among my subordinates or relatives would have received it! Then look at them pretending not to notice!”

Yu-gyeong is angry as if her anger is not going away even though she has been holding on to her subjects and yelling at them all day. Sima Qinghui looked at Yu Qing and smiled bitterly.

‘It’s like pouring oil on a very burning fire.’

Princess Yuya left the imperial palace to prevent the conflict between the Sichuan Wulin and Yunnan Wulin. Why did I wonder if Princess Yuya, who helped Ho Cheon-an and eliminate Jeong-cheol, would return to the imperial family? The Hyeolgyo rose up and Princess Yuya worked with Hocheonan again to stop the Hyeolgyo’s actions.

In the process, the feelings of Yu-kyung, the younger brother, were literally burned to the ground. Wouldn’t he go missing during the battle? Wouldn’t he suddenly return one day and be thrown into the imperial palace?

After hearing the rumor that Jeong-cheol had been dealt with, I was waiting with high expectations that he would return soon, but somehow he never came back, and suddenly a blood feud broke out.

Wouldn’t even a master expert form a line with Hocheonan and attack against a spirit that he can’t easily handle?

For Yu-kyung, it was a series of mind-numbing events.

And now that the series of mind-boggling events has finally come to an end and peace has finally come to the martial arts world, Yu-kyung feels like she just wants to dance these days.

Now Yuya will also return to the comfortable imperial palace!

What came to Yu-kyung, who was smiling and waiting for news of Yu-ya’s return, was not Yu-ya himself, but a letter with anger oozing out of his handwriting.

Yu-kyung also turned upside down after reading the letter.

How dare you send me to govern the region, but you don’t do what you’re told to do, and instead interfere with my brother’s return?

Yu-kyung’s anticipation and nervousness that had built up while waiting for Yu-ya for a long time quickly turned into anger, and that anger has been burning brightly ever since she heard the news, showing no signs of going out.

If Yu-kyung’s anger continues like this, civil servants and civil servants who will face Yu-kyung’s anger every day will have their backs bent and nodules will develop in their vocal cords. Sima Jinghui decided that there would be no benefit in delaying the news he had received, so he opened his mouth.

“Peha.”

“something? Did you find out who was behind the secret service of the inspector who took bribes from his boss?”

“The outline has been revealed, so don’t worry. Rather, the princess sent a letter saying she would return to the imperial palace.”

Upon hearing Sima Qinghui’s report, Yu Qing’s face brightened in an instant. at las! Yuya is finally back!

“Hahahahaha! It’s finally coming back! okay! After going through such hardships in the rugged martial arts world, it’s time for me to rest well in the imperial palace!”

Yu-gyeong, who was very excited and raised his hand as if it were the emperor’s body, suddenly seemed to come to his senses and turned his gaze towards Sima-gyeong-hui.

“Okay, was there anything special about the letter? Something like a thank you message for your hard work. Or maybe it’s admiration for the speedy work done. Things like that!”

Sima Gyeong-hwi sighed at Yu-gyeong’s foolish behavior. Anyway, he is normally a very trustworthy and followable lord, but when it comes to Princess Yuya, how can a person become like this?

When Sima Gyeong-hui recalled the contents of the letter sent by Hyuk Qilin, he thought that things had gone well. After hearing this news, you will no longer be able to think of cutting the backs of your strict subjects.

“He said he would enter the palace with Ho Cheon-an, the brain sword holder.”

“What?”

Yugyeong’s face, who had been expecting a compliment about Princess Yuya’s older brother, suddenly hardened.

Everything in Akyang was completed neatly.

It was obvious that they had been coming down from Luoyang ever since Hyeok Kirin requested the arrest of the royal inspectors, and the real inspectors and officials of the Ministry of Inspector General came down and replaced the governor and the inspectors in the coffin. Of course, the governor was dismissed, and the inspectors paid their own punishment. took place.

As soon as the coffin was normalized, the criminals were executed and hung.

Cheon Ho-mun, who had been watching the liver knowingly or unknowingly after the funeral, fell flat again.

This may be because the rumor that the Black Cat built an ice bridge on Dongdong Lake to defeat the enemy spread throughout Agyang.

Everything went well, and I achieved what I wanted.

“Please take good care of your daughter in the future.”

My mother-in-law, who looked at me with honey-filled eyes, approved my marriage!

So, I thought there was nothing stopping me and the black cat from getting married.

“Before that, let’s first resolve the issue of the Hyeokkirin small cooperative.”

In fact, it was the black cat himself who put the brakes on our marriage.

“You mean…?”

“Yes. To be honest, other people don’t have any problems getting married, right?”

The word marriage suddenly came out of the black cat’s mouth.

The companions, who had been treating it as a distant moment, thinking that their turn would come after the black cat and I got married, looked embarrassed, but could not overcome the black cat’s gaze and opened their mouths one by one.

“Well…I will go down as a lay disciple of the fortuneteller school…but there probably won’t be any problems.”

Normally, any sect would not easily hand over a coveted resource like Yeo Il-ye, but since the sect that Yeo Il-ye belongs to is the Jeomchang faction, there is no need to worry about that.

“Mmm. To be honest, I think my father can ask for various things in the process of giving permission for marriage… but he will still make demands that are reasonable.”

Dokgo Yeongcheon will certainly receive a heavy reward for giving up his daughter, but he will not oppose the marriage itself. From Dokgo Yeongcheon’s perspective, the marriage between me and Dokgo Iseol is a great benefit in itself, and taking something from me is almost like a side profit.

“It’s embarrassing, but it’s likely that they’re just waiting for news at home.”

The Moyong family has absolutely no reason to oppose the marriage of Moyong Yeonhwa and me. No, you probably accept my marriage as a fait accompli.

So in the end, the only problem was Hyeok Gi-rin. The black cat opened his mouth as he looked at Hyeok Kirin, who was embarrassed, as if he had already had the same situation in mind.

“I think I was able to solve my family’s problems neatly because Hyeok Kirin Daehyeop helped me both materially and spiritually. So, I also want to help Hyukkirin Daehyup to solve the problem.”

“…Black Cat Sojeo.”

“If my senior and I get married, it is clear that Hyukkirin Daehyup will be in trouble. How can I pretend not to know that and get married? So, the wedding is after the matter of the Hyeokkirin Daehyup is resolved!”

So, the next destination was naturally decided to be Luoyang, and my companions and I took a high-speed carriage and went up to Luoyang.

All right. All right.

That was a long time ago, when I was sitting in the driver’s seat of a carriage and staring at the end of the endless road.

It rattled.

The carriage door seemed to open and Dokgo Iseol sat down next to me.

“What were you doing? Gaga?”

“What is there to do? I was just driving a carriage.”

These days, Dokgo Iseol was openly calling me Gaga. Now that the wedding has been confirmed, does this mean there is nothing to worry about?

“Hmm. You must be bored. The story of Hawwol Sojeo, or rather, Gongjumama, is quite interesting.”

“Is that so? Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of how he lived in the imperial family.”

In the end, Hyeok Kirin revealed to Dokgo Yi Seol and Mo Yong Yeon Hwa that she was a princess. Dokgo Yi-seol and Mo Yong-yeon-hwa, who only knew the secret that Hyuk Kirin was disguised as a man and that he was a great disciple of the Jeomchang sect, Okryong Shinhyeop, were greatly surprised, but soon accepted the truth.

Well, we were once connected at heart. I guess the two of them also guessed that Hyuk Kirin was hiding a big secret.

“Yes! This is a story about life in the imperial palace told through the mouth of a princess? There’s no way it’s not fun.”

Now that she has revealed that she is a princess, Hyeok Kirin seems to have no hesitation in talking about the imperial palace.

Dokgo Iseol, who likes to be flashy or treated well, seemed to be very excited about Hyeok Kirin’s story. Looking up at the sky, perhaps he was imagining being invited to the imperial palace and being treated as a distinguished guest.

“I also long for the imperial palace life, which is the ultimate in splendor, but what else can I say? When I listen to that story, the image of Hyeok Gi-rin Sojeo from my childhood comes to mind clearly. Isn’t it cute just imagining a child wearing a royal robe decorated with golden thread? ”

However, the story that Dokgo Iseol told with a heartwarming smile was a little different from what I expected.

“I guess so.”

“Hehe, right?”

I realized it again.

It is said that the Dokgo Yi theory has also changed a lot.

When he joined the group, Dokgo Yi-seol, who was glaring at the group with his read-reading eyes and waiting for every opportunity, suddenly changed into a person who smiles loosely and happily discusses Hyuk Kirin’s cuteness.

As I looked at Dokgo Iseol smiling, I felt a mixture of regret and gratitude in my heart.

Looking back now, Dokgo Iseol’s life was quite lonely.

His father, Dokgo Yeongcheon, was cold-blooded, and all those who were considered blood relatives were merely competitors. Since there was no one within the clan to rely on, they moved to Giru’s private house.

Dokgo Yi-seol was desperately hoping for someone to lean on, and there was someone who appeared in front of Dokgo Yi-seol, so it must have been Yong Yong-maeng, who I was playing.

And I, who was Yongjong-blind at the time, also left behind the same theory.

I never expected Dokgo Iseol to lean on me, but it doesn’t change the fact that my actions ultimately drove a nail into Dokgo Iseol’s heart.

Therefore, when I encountered Dokgo Iseol, who was full of reading thoughts, at the campsite in Xinjiang, I could not bear to push away Dokgo Iseol.

Without being able to do either this or that, I accepted him as part of Eoyeongbuyeong’s group and neglected Dokgo Iseol for a long time to resolve more urgent matters. In the meantime, Dokgo Iseol was able to shake off the poison and loneliness in my heart… I can’t help but feel sorry and thankful at the same time. .

Feeling a bit embarrassed to fully express my feelings, I hugged Dokgo Iseol’s chattering shoulders.

Dokgo Iseol, who had a slightly surprised expression, quickly placed his head on my shoulder and showed a satisfied expression.

“Why does Gaga show affection like this?”

“Hmm…well…I’m thankful that Hyeokkirin Daehyeop and I are friendly…and I’m also sorry that I haven’t paid much attention to him these days…”

“You understand! I need to raise the status of the black cat, Sojeo, and I need to sort out the princess’s status. Do you have time to take care of me too?”

Even if there were a hundred mouths, there was nothing to say.

However, contrary to the sharp tone of voice, Dokgo Iseol leaned more comfortably.

“Still, I can understand that Hyeokkirin Sojeo’s work is urgent. If you don’t forget to take care of me like this, I won’t get upset.”

“…Thank you.”

“Hmph.”

Dokgo Iseol completely leans in with a satisfied smile. Feeling Dokgo Iseol’s body temperature, I raised my head and looked ahead.

Before I knew it, the panoramic view of Luoyang Castle, the destination of this trip, was visible.
