"Your Highness, we have bad news..."
Hoseok pov.
"The majority of the eunuchs were killed and the rest disappeared. We have gotten reports that Noble Consort and Concubine Jung is severely injured. We also got reports that Prince Jimin has caught an undefinable disease and Prince Yoongi has slight injuries on his shoulder area." The guard said.
I can see that we were all shocked. I was also very shocked my mother is injured? Should I be sad or angry? I looked beside me and saw that Jeongguk was obviously on the brink of tears. I patted his back comfortingly hoping to ease his sadness. He looked up at me and you could see the confusion in his eyes telling me 'you should be sad or angry why are you comforting me' i simply shake my head as a sign that I am okay. I learned at a young age don't be sad at petty things, there is hope until the last breath so why cry before it happens. Jeongguk seems to understand and Quickly wipe away his tears and he gives me a big hug without saying anything.
I let go of the hug, patted Jeongguk's head and walk to Seokjin hyung. He kept mumbling 'Why can't there be modern medicine in this era.' " Hyung I think the medicine is modern enough we have herbs that the commoners don't have," I said since I didn't understand what he was talking about.
"Hoseok, you scared me!" Seokjin a said surprised.
"Seokjin hyung, I've been standing here for quite some time now," I said.
"Oh, really? I will just go check on Taehyung over there," Seokjin said before leaving.
"Excuse me how long will we have to stay here?" I asked the nearest guard.
"Ummm, Your Highness, until we are sure all the assassins are gone," the guard said.
"Thank you," I said as I started pacing around the room.
Seokjin pov
I walked towards Taehyung since he did not look well. The assassins really picked a good time where the palace is in chaos The King is sick, Prince Jeongguk is wounded, the deal with China might not operate smoothly, and the eunuchs are having a meeting. Just great timing.
"Taehyung are you holding up well?"I ask since he is not okay, but I wanted to know if the could still function with the news.
"Yeah, I'm fine just need a little time to process this news," Taehyung said as he stared at nothing in particular.
"Hyung it's going to be okay. Auntie is going to be okay." Jeongguk said as walk towards us and rubs Taehyung's back soothingly.
"Thanks, Jeongguk I will try to accept this as fast as possible," Taehyung said as he showed us his boxy smile.
"Well Your Highness you can return to your chambers now," a nearby guard said.
"I'll visit hyungs soon," Jeongguk said as he left with Sehun. Behind is smiling facade I could see he was hoping Eunoch Kim was safe.
"Namjoon hyung Lets go before nightfall," I said. Namjoon is the one I relate to the most cause both of us are blood brothers and are the oldest. He is smarter than me, but I know the people's feelings, and how they live. I know that men work ten times harder than the people in the palace just to feed their loved ones. Worse for the women who don't have a husband, they have to work harder to find money. The local grain store is now doubling their prices, because of the drought. The local people can't find decent food and it has been bothering me. The royal emergency grain should have arrived in those towns but there is no news about them. I investigate that later. For now, I am exhausted. I will just rest for a while.
Juhyun pov
I perform daily rituals but why did this one fail? I thought as I tried again.
"Yah, who knows where Choi Hanjoo is? Minister Minseok is very angry right now the faster she shows up the less of punishment we will get." Another Shaman said.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A dead body "a maid screams.
I ran outside and checked the dead body. The body belongs to Hanjoo! "don't go near her she used a poisonous method I'm afraid if you touch her you will get it too." I yelled loud enough for them to hear.
"What do we do sister? Minister Minseok wants her now." I heard the girls in the back say.
" I'll talk with him," I said as I head towards the door.
(After a long walk)
"Minister Minseok, Hanjoo is deceased. So I replace her in the job," I said hoping for the best.
"You, I don't want you, I want to see Hanjoo" Minister Minseok says. I sighed, why are men so hard to work with?
"Like I said Hanjoo is deceased, died, not alive, Minister Minseok, "I said again.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? You wasted my time, but I do need a shaman. Well, you come here." Minister Minseok says.
"Yes anything you want, Minister Minseok," I said annoyed. How did this man become an astrologer again? Oh yes, now I remember he told groundless lies to the king that is why he got this position.
" Well can you tell the king that no matter what don't choose Jeongguk as the next king it is noteworthy that Prince Jimin as the next king will gain favor. Now go!" Minseok says.
Do you think you can tell me what to do? It is obvious that the heavens want prince Jeongguk to be the next king. "Yes, Minister Minseok, "I said in a very fake voice. I walked quickly to the King's chambers. "I would like to meet the king, under Minister Minseoks orders, "I declared as I the guards moved away for me to enter.
" So what did Minseok tell you?" Yeontan asked while coughing.
"The heavens have changed hands Prince Jeongguk is now in favor and will be a good king," I said confidently since I knew My answers were right.
"What about Jimin?" Yeontan asked.
I just want to say I purple you 💜💜💜 I purple you 💜💜💜
