Jeon Jeongguk

It has been three months since I woke up without my memories. It was hard living without recollections of your past but I made the best of it. I was told that there would be a meeting between the Chinese envoys and me at the tea shop just outside the palace grounds.

I kept thinking and tried to find some memory about the last meeting but it never came to me. I sighed and got up. Jinyoung hyung made me eat but I was reluctant since I really didn't have an appetite. It was about dawn when the carriage came and took off with me to the tea house.

I stopped by the court to see how Hoseok was doing since he was taking up a lot of work. He looked at me and smiled. A smile that could heal and light up peoples world. I was about to leave when I thought I saw Hoseok's smile turn into a sinister smirk but I must have seen wrong.

I got on the carriage and told them to stop by the palace gates. I looked for Sehun there since he said he had to meet someone before he came with me to the meeting. These days Sehun has been watching me closely like when I touch my dagger it would seem like he was staring daggers at me. It didn't seem like he was jealous or hating on me since I haven't done anything hateable. It was like he was watching as if commanded by someone. The weirdest thing is that he never leaves me alone if I was alone for a minute he would inspect me like I fell off a horse and was perfectly fine.

I started to get use to it I talked with the man who manages the tea shop. He said that the tea is freshly made and only uses the freshest herbs. I sat at an empty table and waited for the envoys to come and join me. After a moderate time of waiting for the envoys, they showed up and bowed to me. I quickly urged them to get up and took a seat with them. 

"How is the deal going in China?" I ask curiously since I only know small details and don't know much.

"As you know the ginseng you gave us is very useful and we will be repaying you with an abundance of materials and allow you to sell products in China," Yixing said as he held out an envelope.

"What's this?" I ask since the letter was wrapped in a fine white paper.

"We agreed that you will help us find the source of Concubine Park's death since she was healthy and then suddenly fell ill without a reason," Yixing said.

"Very well I will find and investigate this out as much as I can," I said as I scanned through the contents of the letter.

"I will leave Minghao with you since he knows me well and I trust he will help you greatly," Yixing said as he called Minghao forward and whispered something in his ears. He nodded and threw a slight smile at me. I caught the smile and smiled back. "Okay, now that everything is settled I will return to China as I have an important job there right now," Yixing said before he turned his heels and got on the carriage and took off to the harbor. I stared at the rear end of the carriage and turned to see Minghao looking at the end of the carriage as well.

I turn back to the table and see Sehun paying the tea house for the tea. I took Minghao's hand and dragged him to the carriage. Both of us got on and waited for Sehun to get on. Once all three of us got on, we took off to the palace.

I saw a big cherry blossom tree and told the driver to stop. I pulled the both of them off and dragged them to the big cherry blossom tree. Coincidentally Kyungsoo , the prison master,  was there as well. I kind of felt like he was that lonely man in those stories that found a cherry blossom tree and then gain a lot of friends and lived happily ever after. I quietly approached him and lightly tapped his shoulders and he flinched and let out a quiet curse.

I giggled and said "Hyung we meet again. How have you been? Are you waiting for someone? Like a girl?" I ask i wiggle my eyebrows ate the last part.

"Yes, we meet again. I have been well and no I am not meeting someone and if I were it would not be a girl," Kyungsoo said as he bowed and gave a look that sent shivers down the fifteen -year old's body. "I will excuse myself now," Kyungsoo said before he headed in the direction of the prison.

"Well, your highness it is getting late how about we head home. It is Envoy Minghao's first time staying in the palace why don't we welcome him with a grand meal. We can also Invite your brothers," Sehun said as he escorted us back to the palace.

"Okay," I said.

I hope all of you are having a fine day
