I'M Chinese Princess
Extra Part How You Look
"Head Guard!!! You got a reply from Joseon!"yong said, he ran into Ri Won's room.
"Huhahh... Haah! I thought you were at Princess Yiwei's residence! So I went there first but saw another man who was with the Princess! I'm sure you must be in the room" said Yong, he sat down and picked up a teapot filled with water.
"Yes! Princess with Young Master Feng, I would be a mosquito if it was there" Ri Won said inexplicably when saying those words directly from her mouth irritated her.
"Her Majesty the Queen sent a letter to you! This time Crown Princess Eunyeon also sent a letter to you!"yong said making a smile rise on his face.
Crown Princess Eunyeon is her partner and also her childhood friend, they used to play together and the only woman Ri Won liked so much until now. Since they separated Crown Princess Eunyeon has only occasionally sent her a letter in a year. That's why Eunyeon's letter made her so happy.
"I want to read Eunyeon's letter!"ri Won said she opened the origin of the letter and read it slowly.
'Greetings Your Majesty....
How you been all this time? I worry about you, the palace is very quiet without your presence. It's been 18 years that you left me alone in the palace. Will you come back to my side? Sorry if I was too selfish you were very brave to go to a foreign country for the sake of Joseon. I should have stayed and waited for you without complaining, sorry I just sent another letter, take good care of yourself.
Jang Eunyeon's.
"I'm sorry Eunyeon" muttered Ri Won, she tears her eyes when reading the letter from her wife, they have been betrothed from birth that's why Ri Won and Eunyeon always together until the age of 8 years, after that incident they had to part ways somehow Eunyeon looks like now. What hobby? Her favorite? His nature? Has anything changed from him? That question always messed him up.
"The Muli...."
"If you miss the Crown Princess, why don't you ask the previous Emperor's permission to return to Joseon?"tanya Yong recalled that a few weeks ago the previous Emperor was very friendly to Ri Won making her think about it.
"I'm a prisoner of war Yong, there's no way they'll let me go back. Anyway I still hate that place" Ri Won replied, she does miss Eunyeon but that place is like hell for Ri Won, after what her father did, she said, there was no place for him in the palace.
"Give me my mother's letter" said Ri Won, she opened her hand quickly Yong put the letter in Ri Won's hand.
'My respect to Crown Prince Ri Won, how are you doing dear? Mom hopes you're okay. Mother has got a reply to your letter, you wrote that you have been spoiled by the Qin Dynasty? Mother is not sure but if true Mother will be very happy. You should devote yourself to the Qin Dynasty son, Mother has already found out the truth. The fire was caused by Joseon insiders and Emperor Ryuji! The Qin Empire only paid their debt to Emperor Ryuji, the rest of them did not interfere! Mother also does not know why you were sent to Qin instead of Kou. Mother beg you heart to our palace officials when you return here!'
"Mother has never written a letter like this, the paper is also obsolete" murmured Ri Won, she was quite meticulous in seeing things, unlike Eunyeon's letter, but she was quite meticulous, his mother's letter looked more like a letter that had been written for a long time.
"Sincerely my Chief of Guards" said a soldier, he lowered his head to face Ri Won.
"What's wrong?"ri Won asked, he put his mother's letter on his desk and smiled looking at his subordinate.
"There's a letter from the Queen of Joseon to you" the bodyguard said, jolting him.
"What's? Give it?!"ri Won said. He opened the letter and read it.
*Saywords that are very similar to Mother's even our secret code of speech is there but this is a new paper with neat handwriting! Why are there two letters on behalf of the mother!- inner Ri Won, this new letter as usual sent every month but why arrived this obsolete letter came with the contents of a warning.
********
Joseon
"Have the letter been sent?"ask a woman she combed her hair while wearing a blush even though she was at someone's altar.
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen. Prince Ri Won must have received it" said his servant, he continued to comb the woman's hair. She was 35 years old but she was already the mother of a 19-year-old son.
"Good! He wouldn't have realized that his mother was dead seven years ago! That way she will continue to be the eyes of her demons" said Lim Hari, her face is not too beautiful but she is the King's favorite concubine of course she uses black magic so that King Nam Wok loves her. After Queen Hyunseo died, she was made Queen.
"Queen Hyunseo..."
"Don't blame me if you die such a horrible death." said Lim Hari, he stepped on Queen Hyunseo's face painting with his feet.
"Today is the day of his death! It seems like I have to pretend to be sad again"Lim Hari took a blush and rubbed it under her eyes, now her eyes look swollen like after crying.
"If you keep your mouth shut of course me and my father won't kill you that cruel" he recalled that happiest day, when Queen Hyunseo pleaded for the safety of the King and his son, even committed suicide to have Lim Hari forgive her husband and son.
7 Years ago
"Tae... How do you think I should write a letter to Ri Won this time? Am I asking what it looks like now? She's an adult!"queen Hyunseo said it was very late but she was still busy thinking about what sentence would be suitable for the letter she was going to write.
"His Majesty the Queen..."
"It's very late, you better rest" said Tae Bin, a waiter who is the same age as his son. The teenage girl was more often nagging the First Lady because she often stayed up late.
"ah! I want to walk!"queen Hyunseo said, she ran out carrying a paper and brush in her hand.
"I miss you so much my son" muttered Queen Hyunseo, she let out her tears as she looked at the lake in front of her. The lake holds many memories of Ri Won, Raja and himself.
"Please pass by here" said Counselor Lim, he brought a cloaked man into Queen Hyunseo's residence.
*Why Panasehat Lim came to the Queen's residence this late!- Queen Hyunseo's inner self she hid behind a tree a few meters away from her.
"His Majesty the Queen must have slept because it was night" said Counsel Lim, he brought the man to sit in the gazebo.
"I did want to see Hyunseo while asleep but tonight doesn't seem like it" the man said, his distinct accent making Queen Hyunseo know that he's not from Joseon.
"Thank you for your help, Counselor Lim! I'm so grateful, Hyunseo. that woman will be mine"
"Patience His Majesty the Emperor!"
"You have to follow the game! Soon the Queen will definitely be the woman of your night" Lim Hari said with a slanted smile, walking up to the man and pouring him wine.
"Yes! I've helped you gain power and get rid of that boy! Better keep your word" said the man who was none other than Emperor Ryuji.
*So that man is Emperor Ryuji! The man I rejected while still studying at the academy! He told me to wait for him to make me his wife but since I was betrothed to King Nam Wok, I never saw him again! Crazy guy I rejected it! And I'm also married why she's still chasing me - Queen Hyunseo, she's holding her head dizzy, that flash of memory makes her sick. That Kou country man did not give up even though he had subtly rejected it and was married!! There is no love between the Queen and the King. Ri Won was born only because of her duties as Queen. In addition, the Queen and the King live their own lives.
"I've never fallen in love with anyone" muttered Queen Hyunseo, so she recalled the whole incident that happened to her, starting from a small, happy life because it came from a wealthy family, he said, being blessed with a beautiful face made him much pursued by many men, became Queen by force, not loved or loved by the King.
"My first love was probably Ri Won, other than dad. He's the man I love the most" said Queen Hyunseo, laughing as she carried on, in regards to her duties as a Queen, he never complains of always doing his duty properly in bed or on the throne.
"Are you satisfied eavesdropping" asked Lim Hari, he was now right in front of Queen Hyunseo.
"A.you? Them?!"queen Hyunseo said, she took a back gulp but there was no one there.
"So you already know what happened huh" muttered Lim Hari, he pulled out a dagger and was about to stab Queen Hyunseo.
"Damn! You want to kill me?!"yelled Queen Hyunseo, she dodged and hit Lim Hari.
"Guards!! Finish off Queen Hyunseo now!!"lim Hari said fortunately his father had prepared this assassin otherwise how could he kill a Queen who could martial arts like Queen Hyunseo.
"You think this rat can kill me!! Since I was 5 years old! Hundreds, people want to kill me because of my status and face don't you think, I'm that weak" Queen Hyunseo said with a grin, it's true that her father is Old General Joseon. He fought every day with assassins so the hit men in front of him were nothing to him.
"Enough Your Majesty" Advisor Lim said he saw Queen Hyunseo finish off all her subordinates from afar.
"Ohh. You're the old man! How can you give me an explanation of what I heard" Queen Hyunseo said, she screeched as she looked at Adviser Lim who was like a sycophant to her.
"You don't want His Majesty and the Crown Prince to die horribly? Aye right?!"advisory Lim said Queen Hyunseo was jolted, about to hit Lim's adviser's face but the documents in Lim's hands stopped him from doing so.
"I can kill His Majesty at any time. After all, Prince Woo Rin can be taught to kill and hate his father easily! And take over the throne! Prince Ri Won?! Maybe I can make an old friend just torture him in the Qin Empire" Advisor Lim said making him weak, Ri Won is his son while King Nam Wok? She was her husband even though there was no love but she had a responsibility to look after the King.
"Woo Rin is your grandson!"queen Hyunseo snapped could Penehar Lim usually say that.
"Good-grandson? To me he is just a tool to rule the throne!"
"Ck! What do you want" said Queen Hyunseo, she looked into Advisory Lim's eyes firmly.
"Let down your eyes! Begging me for the safety of your son and husband" Lim said, he smiled with satisfaction when he just came in here he had to pretend to smile and hang out with Queen Hyunseo but the Queen ignored him instead and looked down on him.
"I plead for the safety of my son and husband..."
"I beg you to do anything to me but don't touch them" said Queen Hyunseo, kneeling and pleading with Lim Hari and Counselor Lim.
"Kill yourself! You kill yourself in the room! Your veins one by one I want your whole body full of incision wounds! Do it in the room and when you're about to die, you have to stab your heart in the middle of the palace courtyard" said Lim Hari, he was so cruel to think about it.
"Heh?! It's obvious this little beard wants to be Queen!"queen Hyunseo said, she narrowed her brows.
"Holden yourself, he'll die too" said Counselor Lim, who had just said Lim Hari wanted to have an argument with her father's Queen Hyunseo to stop him.
"Oh! Of course you must remain silent because slaves and servants must obey their masters" said Queen Hyunseo.
"You! You crazy jalangg! Hurry up you die I'm sick of seeing your face!"lim cried out his loud voice made the guards start moving towards them.
"Basic stupid! This is the Queen's goal!"adviser Lim said he pulled his daughter away from the Queen herself.
*Huh?! You're gonna die too! Untying yourself hahaha would surely suffer even more - Inner Lim Hari, without a second thought Queen Hyunseo agreed. He returned to his room to write a final letter to his son, which Lim Hari never knew, and his father began to slash himself all over his room with blood, but he did not lose his life at dawn he bloodily walked into the courtyard with several servants there watching him commit suicide by stabbing his heart.
Of course, it was so shocking that their entire palace was devastated to lose their Queen that not many officials blamed Queen Hyunseo who committed suicide clearly explained in the palace courtyard.
*******
"Mother!"call Woo Rin, he bends his greetings to his mother.
"Today Queen Hyunseo's mother died, I want to pay my respects" said Woo Rin, he is a good and smart child, when Queen Hyunseo was very lost Ri Won he was the one who always comforted her, said the statement, woo Rin's name was given by Queen Hyunseo, similar to the name of her son Ri Won-Wo Rin.
"Why can't you forget the dead woman Woo Rin!"lim Hari said, he gripped Worin's shoulder firmly.
"Because she is my first mother" Woo Rin replied coldly, she always thought of Queen Hyunseo as her mother not without reason, the one who raised her all this time was Queen Hyunseo while her biological mother, who was her mother, Lim Day? Just being busy with the palace banquet made him forget that he had a son who was three months old.
"From my baby until I was ten years old Hyunseo's mother took care of me" she went to the altar behind her mother and burned incense.
"Don't forget you're just a chaperone for him! The Ri Won! His son is now a prisoner of war!"hearing that made her jolt her chest throbbing, who exactly is this Ri Won? Palace people often compare him with Prince Ri Won who is said to be his eldest brother.
