It was truly fortunate that Song Geun-ryangs house was in the middle of the city. While buying meat, dumplings, and sweets, Court Lady Yoon pondered what to buy to arouse the appetite of the new master, who lost her will to live.

The little girls get their eyes wide open when you give them one of these candies. There is nothing like it to stop crying!

The place is always overflowing with people, but today it was exceptionally crowded. For Court Lady Yoon, who has always lived in a quiet imperial palace, the place was a different world.

While she was buying things and getting bumped here and there, she was interested by a merchants solicitation and stepped forward. At that time, two women passing by passed by her and whispered.

The country is terrible when it is said that the Empress is possessed by a demon. Isnt it?

Court Lady Yoons steps stopped and hardened.

Ah, thats right. What does it mean to have the most beautiful hair color? The limbs were bizarrely twisted.

I hear bad news too. Even the Emperor couldnt get up from his sick bed, and now even the Empress.

Nevertheless, the Crown Prince.

The women went away.

Court Lady Yoon turned her head away, unable to believe what she had heard. What happened to the Empress body?

Oh dear, be careful!

Someone shouted

Court Lady Yoon didnt care. Throwing everything she had in her hands on the ground, she ran straight to the palace. Who and what happened?

***

Court Lady, come here now!

As soon as the Court Lady, who acted like her limbs, saw Court Lady Yoon, she burst into tears. Her face was very emaciated as she struggled to endure it. Court Lady Yoon sighed and closed the Court Ladys mouth.

Shrine of the court ladies. Its a place that people dont usually come to, but she pulls the court lady into a corner where only Court Lady Yoon knows. It was difficult for her to stand out.

When Queen Mun was tortured and taken to the concubinages prison, Court Lady Yoon was the one who looked for a chance to sneak her out. And taking advantage of the Empresss sleep, she hurried to the prison.

Queen Mun did not look healthy at first glance. If she is not rescued quickly, she will die.

As she went down to the prison, she heard the sound of two guards.

Uh, uh ? Hey, no. Shes alive. Shes not dead yet.

Oh dear, she didnt even eat the porridge, she was tough, huh?

She screamed at that moment.

Why is that bitch still over there?!

Court Lady Yoon yelled at them and became angry. Dont you know the wrath of the Empress? Its a girl that has already been deposed. How dare you put its existence in the palace, what do you think this place is? Why dont you just let it go!

With Court Lady Yoons anger, the guards hurriedly rolled Queen Mun into a straw mat and sent her out of the palace.

On a secluded mountain road leading to the Valley of Sinners, the men, who were ordered by Court Lady Yoon, bought Queen Mun from the guards.

The son of a noble family is about to die as a bachelor, and they are going to hold a posthumous wedding*. Its a precious person, so they wanted to meet someone who is precious.

Saying so, the men gave the guards a decent amount of money and bought Queen Mun. And they left her in the Song family mansion.

The next morning, Court Lady Yoon lied to the Empress and told the Empress that she was ill and that she wanted to be seen by a physician of the southern province, and she left the palace.

Maybe she thought Queen Mun was already dead. Then she thought of burying her in the mountain behind the Song family mansion. This poor and brave woman could not be left in a filthy place with sinners.

Court Lady Yoon remembered King Mun. How much did he love the woman? How much she loved him. It wouldnt be an atonement for Court Lady who had betrayed him, but she wanted to do something.

But, surprisingly, Queen Mun has a tough line. She was critical, but she was alive. After desperate nursing, Court Lady Yoon saved Queen Muns life. Meanwhile, the world has changed.

Court Lady Yoon returned to the Imperial Palace. The surprising thing happened next. The Empress was so closely monitored that not a single ant could enter or leave. Moreover, all the courtiers in the Empress Palace were changed at once, so no one knew of Court Lady Yoon.

As if treason had happened.

What happened? The Empress is sick, so why is the security so strict, and why are you outside instead of inside?

Treason, it cant be?

Who did the treason? The Crown Prince is no different from sitting on the dragon throne already, and the Empresss authority has reached high in the sky, so no one.

No one.

*Posthumous Marriage / Ghost Wedding

Usually done for many reasons but in this case, I think it was to continue the family line since they said the male was going to die as a bachelor. Well, a lot of female corpse did end up stolen because of the practice ._.
