 Jinyoen was summoned to the palace by the queen.  She knew what would come. When she met the queen, 

"I know that you are going to create wonhwa again but I won't be joining" . The queen smirked. 

"I don't care about your liking.  I'm the queen of this country.  You will do as I say." Jinyoen laughed at this.

"What do you think about 'truth ' Jiso.  It's not very nice. Is it? There is a truth which you have tried to hide. But you have failed "

"What are you talking about?"

"Keng Haneul " As soon as the queen heard the name she froze.  Jinyoen looked at her with an raised eyebrow. 

"What happened my queen? Ring some bells?"

"What do you know about him?"

"I know everything about him. He was the son of the queen Bora and he was the rightful owner of the throne of Silla.  You killed him and his son and set their house in fire. Because you wanted to make people believe that they died because of the fire. "

"How did you know about that?" Jinyoen took a golden necklace out and showed it to the queen. 

"Can you identify this?" The queen's eyes widened as she recognised it.

"This is the necklace Keng Haneul got from his father when he was born. This is the symbol which proves that he was the rightful owner.  Now you must be wondering how did I manage to get this? This was my father's.  My father is Keng Haneul.  I'm Keng Jinyoen.  That night when you asked your guards to kill us I was hiding at stables.  I didn't die Jiso. So, as you can see the throne is my birthright.  I have more right to the throne than your son. However I didn't bring this up because I am not interested.  But mark my words Jiso If you tried to do anything I won't hesitate to claim which is mine.

                                                        ...


Both Jinyoen and Ahro were trying their best to find medicine to send low born villages where the people die without the medicine. Jinyoen suspected that Park Youngshill was the one who is behind this. She asked her personal guard to keep an eye on him. Watching his every move carefully.  One day when Jinyoen was in Okta she saw a cart which was going to Park Youngshill's house.  A small dried star shaped herbs fell from the cart and she recognised it star anise , the very herb needed to combat the plague. She knew that her suspicions were correct.  

Jinyoen was walking fast towards master Wi-hwa's office to tell him about what she found in the morning when she saw Sunwoo and Jidiwi were having another argument.  She went to them and grabbed both of them by their ears.  She dragged them to the office with her.

         "Jin owww"

          "It hurts Jinu." 

When they reached to the office master Wi-hwa was looking at them in an amused smile.  Jinyoen let go their ears. She handed him a white handkerchief. 

"This herb fell from a cart which went to Park Youngshill's house.  I think the medicine we need is in his storage shed. He has medicine to cure the entire people in Silla. Once he heard it is available in the market he buys them all and stores them all in his shed. He would not share no sell them. He is waiting till the epidemic worsen so, he can sell them. Before he sells them the people outside of the capital will die. Even though I can interfere to this matter directly I'm not going to do that." 

Jinyoen pointed Jidiwi and Sunwoo , "you two work together and find a way to solve this problem " with that Jinyeon left them alone.  Master Wi-hwa chuckled after she went.

"She has a strong tone.  Her voice is more commanding than the queen's.
