“Hyerin have you eaten something that seems suspicious?” The queen asked Hyerin quietly in her chamber.
“ No Mama but I drank the tonic for pregnancy everyday”.
“ Oh I see, I will investigate the cause of your miscarriage, it’s very odd that you had became unhealthy since you werr pregnant. I will see if there’s anything fishy about the tonic’s ingredients”.
“ Junjeon Mama, do not worry to much. I’m okay it’s my fault I didn’t take extra care of my health”.
“ No it’s not a simple matter, it involves the death of the king’s heir. I will definitely investigate it.”
“Your grace is remarkable Junjeon Mama. If you don’t mind I need to go, I have a meeting with the kitchen ladies”.
“ Yes Suu’i , you may go since I have in charge you to that department”.
Hyerin walked out from the Queen’s chamber in worried. She had a dream that the queen will be deposed because she was wrongly accused. She worried because the queen still insisted to investigate. On her way back she saw few of the queen’s man includes the queen’s father, the prime minister walking towards the queen’s chamber.

“Mama, Suu’i Mama!” court lady Choi ran to her.
“ Why? What happened?”
“ Junjeon mama, the Bureo of Investigation had arrest her. They said that she was the cause of your miscariagge. They said she was the one who ordered the physician to put poisonous herbs called wolf’s bane roots.”
“ What ? No! Call my brother and Vice Minister Kim now!” she ordered.
Han Minhyun and Kim Taehyung hurriedly went to Hyerin's chamber as soon they were summoned. They were also shocked by the news.
" Orabeoni, it's not the queen. I am sure she would never do something to harm me especially the king's heir. She even met me secretly telling me that she would investigate the cause of my miscarriage. They said they found the wolf's bane root in her chamber and the herbs had been mixed in my tonics. It was totally absurd. Wolf's bane roots cause sudden death it would only take an hour to die. But there's nothing happen to me for a month. And it just affect my baby".
" Yes Mama I understand. We could not believe it was her too since she had given full support to you. " Minhyun expressed.
"Suu'i Mama, do not worry too much . We will definitely find prove the queen is innocent. My cousin Kim Jinyoung , he was an expert in herbs. He will help us Mama".
"Thank you so much, I will meet the king to delay the queen punishment untill we have the prove".
