My deep soul

Chapter 42

Jinyoen was proud of Jinheung.  Finally he managed to show his face not only to the queen but also to all the ministers. Jinyoen learned from Ahn Ji that the queen had been poisoned by Park Youngshill. She was worried for Jinheung safety too. Meanwhile Jinyoen was searching for lord Hwi-kyung's son. She learned that he had also joined Park Youngshill's side. One day both Park Youngshill and Hwi-Kyung came to visit Jinyoen. 

"Finally the faceless king showed his face" Youngshill said to her.

"May be he was tired of hiding ". Jinyoen simply replied. 

"But he won't be ruling for much long "

"Of course.  I forgot.  You two are in the same side. You are planning to crown your son."

"I found my son my lady. I'm pretty sure that you also know him. He is one of your best friends after all." 

Jinyoen nodded her head. "Sunwoo." The two men were shocked. 

"You knew" Hwi-Kyung asked. 

"Of course. When I learned that you have a son I started searching. It didn't take so long me to find out Sunwoo is your son. What do you want from me?"

"Which side you are in lady Jinyoen?" Questioned Park Youngshill.

"I'm in no ones side minister"

"Of cause you are. You and Jinheung were close friends when he was in hwarang. So, you must be in his side."

"If you know that for certain Hwi-kyung why did you ask such a stupid question?"

"My lady, he didn't mean it. We are curious. That's why we asked."

"I didn't know he was the king back then. Now the things have changed. I haven't  decide to whom I should help"

"Why don't you talk this with my son? May be it will help you decide"

"Why are you so interested in my decision? Do you want me to help you to become the king?"

"You are mistaken my lady. I don't want to become the king. I'm just helping him to make his son as the king" Jinyoen laughed loudly at this.

"Do you think I'm fool Youngshill? Hwi-kyung may be stupid enough to trust you, but I'm not. Whatever my decision is I will make sure it won't give any profit for you. Now leave me alone" She demanded both of them angrily.

"We have to find a way to get her in our side lord Hwi-kyung. She is the key to the throne." Park Youngshill said when they came out from Jinyoen's room.

"It won't be that easy. You saw how she spoke to us in there. We can't underestimate her." Replied Hwi-kyung.

   Jinyoen read a letter which she had received from someone and a victory smirk was making its way to her lips.

                                                                 ...

Jinyoen went to the palace to find Jinheung. She found him kneeling in front of the throne. She knelt in front of him. As soon as he saw her he hugged her tightly while crying.

"I'm still weak Jinu. He made me sound like a coward again and again"

"No, you are not. You are strong. More than him. He is afraid of you. So, he is trying to lose your confident. Don't let your courage down Jinheung. I'm the one who said you to show your face. I know my decision isn't wrong. I believe in you."

After the day Jinheung came to the palace it was the first time he felt relax. He felt relax when she was in his arms. Soon after princess Sookmyung came. When Jinyoen started to leave them alone Jinheung stopped her.

"You are my queen. What ever the matter is you have every right to know." Jinyoen looked at him shocked.

"My brother is right lady Jinyoen. When I was in the hwarang house I studied you. You are a kind hearted person. You can understand the king more than anyone. You should be the queen"

"But you two have" Jinheung  stopped her .

"I don't want to marry my sister. Beside she likes someone. I've already call off the marriage."

Princess Sookmyung hugged Jinyoen. Saying,

"Welcome to the family sister" Jinyoen stared at her with tearful eyes.
