The Last Imoogi

One Woman's Loss Is Another Woman's Gain

After the banquet, everyone retired to their respective chambers to rest. Tomorrow, they would have to travel back to Hanyang again and it was going to be another long and tiring journey.

In his room, Yi Sung has been pacing back and forth for quite a while now. He never had a proper conversation with the queen the whole day and earlier at the banquet, his uncle even left with his wife, so he had no choice but to keep talking to the ministers and officials. Well, he enjoyed their praises, alright. Definitely, it boosted his pride. But the Kim Jisoo had been silent all the time and the only chance he got to hear her voice was when she reacted for their aunt-in-law.

"Was something the matter?" He was about to storm out of his room when Sun Hae appeared before him.

"Sun Sugui, what are you doing here?" He asked.

"Jeonha, please allow me to serve you some azalea wine," Sun Hae said with an alluring tone. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any effect on Yi Sung.

"It's already late. Just leave it in a corner and go back to get some rest," Yi Sung said awkwardly. He was good in avoiding women, but he wasn't really good in interacting with them. Sun Hae entered the room and settled the tray of wine and cups on the table.

"Too bad, I forgot to serve this for everyone to taste earlier. It's a tradition to drink azalea wine during Samjinal though, right Jeonha?"

Yi Sung felt really awkward being in the same room as the woman. Wanting to get over the situation immediately, he grabbed a cup and poured himself a drink.

"Thank you," he said as he downed the cup of wine. "Now, please excuse me—"

Yi Sung could instantly tell there was something different in his body. He just drank a cup of wine, and his alcohol tolerance was high so why does he feel really hot all over? Spring had just begun and the air outside is chilly, so why does he feel like he's burning?

Before he could even hold onto the pillar, Sun Hae was quick to support him up.

"Jeonha, what's wrong?"

Yi Sung didn't answer but Sun Hae became more aggressive. She wrapped her arms around the King and buried her face in his chest, knowing how potent the drug that she used was.

"Jeonha..."

"Sun Sugui, what are you doing?" Yi Sung's mind was against it but why does her embrace felt good to him? It shouldn't be this way! Since he only drank a cup, things were still clear in his head.

"What did you put in the drink?" Yi Sung angrily snarled but Sun Hae just keep hugging him, pushing him onto the mattress.

"Jeonha... Don't you want me?"

Want??? Yi Sung cringed at the woman. Sun Hae was pretty and had a body any woman would envy but just the mere fact that she was someone from Minister Kim's faction was already detestable for him. If there's something he wanted, it was to push the woman away!

But while he was trying his best to get away from the seductress before him, his body was already reacting to the aphrodisiac. He shut his eyes as Sun Hae started stripping off her outer robes before grabbing his hand, allowing him to touch her.

"Stop!" Yi Sung said, withdrawing his hand and balling it into fists but Sun Hae was stubborn. How was she supposed to stop now when she already gambled her everything for this?

Suddenly, a soft and delicate voice from the outside was heard. Yi Sung recognized it immediately. It was the queen!

Yi Sung wanted to cry. How could such a bad luck fall onto him. He was just about to see the queen but now that the queen arrived, another woman was in his chamber, trying to seduce him.
