Chapter 88

Reunion

Her surroundings were dark. She couldnt see anything, so she lay still and blinked her eyes.

Where is this?

Young-young lifted her head and looked around. Nothing was visible.

Somewhere, she heard a bird chirping. Is it night or dawn? She couldnt figure it out.

It was cold. Young-young curled up into the blanket. Then suddenly the light came closer. When she looked to the side in surprise, it was a brazier.

Are you cold? The water is being heated. Im going to give you hot water, so please wait a little bit.

It wasnt a familiar face, but it wasnt an unfamiliar face either. The middle-aged woman smiled faintly and gently stroked Young-youngs hair. Young-young raised her head and looked at her, muttering Court Lady Yoon.

She remembered her saying that Sa Heon-young called her that way.

Yes, I am Court Lady Yoon.

Where is this?

This is the residence of the Song family. I have nowhere to go, Im sorry.

Song family residence?

Young-young tilted her head.

Where in the house of the Song family?

The mansion of your father, Song Geun-ryang. This is the guest room.

Young-young was startled and got her body up.

Her whole body was throbbing, but that wasnt the problem. There were no guests and she entered the guest room. If her father or the Madam finds out, they will be surprised. She will not be safe not only herself, but also this woman.

Young-young groaned and grabbed Court Lady Yoons wrist.

Go now.

Court Lady Yoon asked curiously, What? But Young-young shook her head quickly.

You have to run away. Come on, get up. If Father and the Madam saw us,

Who are you talking about?

Young-young exclaimed, feeling frustrated.

I mean, my father! My father,

It was frustrating for Court Lady Yoon as well.

How can the dead Song Geun-ryang harm Your Highness?

Dead, Song Geun-ryang?

Young-young, who had stood up on her knees, slumped down. Is he dead? Seeing Young-youngs eyes widened, Court Lady Yoon realized.

She didnt know.

She heard rumors that King Mun was in love, but was it that much? It was such a big incident that Yang-an was turned upside down, but the person involved in the incident did not even know about it.

Dead , is he dead? Wh, what happened?

Her father, who runs the biggest drugstore, took care of his body like gold, but how did he happen to die? Young-young, who was confused, regained her senses.

Then, the Madam,

Shes dead too.

.

The entire Song family is dead. Because the mortal sin of growing and selling herbs was revealed,

Herbs.

Young-young rolled her eyes.

The herb is a drug prohibited by national law, and those who eat it, grow it, and neglect it are all subject to death.

Sa Heon-young clearly said that. So shouldnt she have to die too? Young-young looked at Court Lady Yoon with anxious eyes. Fortunately, Court Lady Yoon didnt seem to know that she had ever eaten the herbs.

Actually, this place is forbidden to enter, but there was no place to avoid peoples eyes.

Because I am deposed?

The woman who knew nothing asked back.

Court Lady Yoon said, Yes, and nodded her head. She wanted to make the miserable life of this woman a little less miserable in the future.

Shed rather this woman be happy. This woman knows nothing, and shes a little foolish, so shell suffer less.

Court Lady Yoon carefully put the woman down. Even though Court Lady Yoon was the Empress attendant, the very same person who tortured her, Young-young lay there without any doubt with a gentle face. Court Lady Yoon put hot water in the hot-water bath, wrapped it around with a cloth, put it in the womans arms, and placed the blanket.

It has not yet dawned. Get some more sleep.

Huh.

The woman closed her eyes. Seeing that scene, Court Lady Yoon recalled a very distant past. A child she cared for like her son. Sleep, she said, and she smiled softly, yes, and the woman closed her eyes. She was so gentle.

Court Lady Yoon lightly patted the woman to sleep. As she watched the sky brighten up, she kept patted. As she did so, she recalled the distant past and distant sins.

This woman sings a song that grants a wish. And whoever hears the song will have a wish come true in their dream. whatever that wish is. The truth is given to those who want the truth. Even if the truth is completely different from what you want.

He was a person, she said.

He wasnt a goblin, she said.

When I am deposed, will you accept him as your son?

This woman resisted, risking her life. Shes too weak to resist, it was just one question. But she had to pay the question with her life.
