Gujung Palace (九重宮闕).

As the word suggests, after passing through countless doors that are stacked on top of each other, it is located in the innermost area. In a sense, there is a place more secret and hidden than the king’s bedroom.

Naemyeongbu, also known as Naemyeongbu, is the place where women related to the king stay.

Among the inner halls, the most splendid and precious place is Daejojeon (大造殿). It is a place where the king’s favor is so special that not everyone can stay at Daejojeon, even though it is called Jungjeon.

Just a few minutes before this battle, screams went over the wall. The main characters are the woman’s high-pitched screams trying to overcome the pain of childbirth, and the shouts of medical women inside encouraging the mother.

The current situation is that the shouting stopped as if someone had given an order.

Considering that it was originally an inner hall, this quiet and breathtaking silence is natural. However, strangely enough, the silence contains the horror and death just before a predator pounces on its prey, or just before a wind of blood blows.

“Aaagh!”

“Kaaak!”

“… Save me! Ugh!”

just as expected! ‘Frantic Silence’ finally lets out a scream with a different meaning than before. Not a scream cheering the birth of life, but a scream proclaiming the end of life.

“Again… ! Say it again!”

“Ma, mama… .”

“Hurry!! uh… ha… Come on!!”

The shout was so powerful that it almost took my breath away, and it was filled with blood-vomiting anger and devastation.

“… Cheap, twins.”

Strangely enough, the silence that came after the trembling answer from the judge who bowed his head came at the same moment as the commotion outside died down.

“… Phew.”

Is it because of the aftereffects of childbirth, or is it the sense of deprivation that comes after the incident a little while ago, or is it not that he does not want to believe the judge’s words? The woman’s deep sigh, heard from beyond the dark clouds, lowers the head of the judge in the inner chamber even deeper. Only when I put my forehead on the floor do I stop moving.

“Ma, ma! Lord, please kill me!”

“Okay.”

“… Yes?”

Is it because I got an answer right away? When confessing a mistake in the palace by asking ‘please kill me’, was it possible to use the ceremonial words to convey the meaning of consent? okay. Maybe it’s both.

The judge raises his head in a stern manner or through hidden reflexes that he was unaware of.

“Did you say you were appointed through the introduction of Eonpyeong (彦平; Yun Wonhyeong’s son)?”

“Yes, that’s right. Mama.”

“Okay… .”

Eonpyeong (彦平).

Hongmungwan Suchan (Jeong 5th rank) A woman who can comfortably call Yun Won-hyeong’s person and the king’s wife who is the owner of Daejojeon (大造殿). This queen is the 2nd second wife of King Jungjong, the 11th king of Joseon, and Lady Yun.
