Hyerin walked quietly towards the king's chamber in the midnight, she didn't want the eyes of the palace (spies) talked about it. She open the door, there's no one inside. She knows where he is. She tiptoed towards the secret door behind the cupboard. The king was indeed there. He was busy with his water clock.

"Hyerin what brings you here? Uh I know why . You miss me don't you. I'm sorry it's been a few days since I visited you. I'm so busy with work". He hug Hyerin from back.

"I do miss you Jeonna. It's okay you are not just my husband, you are this nation king. I can't be so greedy" She smiled.

"Jeona I have a favor to ask you. Could you please the Queen's sentenced. I believe she's innocent, I need a little time to prove it". She let go herself of his grip.

" Ah, you believe she's innocent but what about the evidence darling?"

" I believe it's not wolf's bane root because if it was. I not be alive now Jeona."

" Alright I will give you four days that 's what I can do for now cause the ministers will be angry. But be careful dear. You are not fully recovered yet. Do you know that my heart broke watching you suffer".

" Do not worry Jeona. I will take care of myself cause you love me" she kissed him on his cheek.

"Suu'i Mama! We found it, the prove. This is Park Jinyoung he works as the officer in the palace but he had a great knowledge about medicine".

"Suu'i Mama, I'm Park Jinyoung greets you.  We had found Dong Quai in your tonics and not Wolf's bane root. It was harm for woman in pregnancy".
