The Heart of the Cruel Emperor
3 Blessings mother's sorrow

The atmosphere became silent for a moment. Ryeon apologizes to her uncle. Feeling guilty for breaking the rules that his uncle ordered him not to show his skills to others.

He promised not to repeat. The uncle asked for his explanation. Why is there a blood stain on his shirt.

Ryeon also told what had happened in the forbidden forest everything without being missed. Hearing that Uncle Han immediately looked anxious. Not without reason, people who are helped by ryeon do not seem to be careless people. It could be that the person is looking for ryeon later. And that's a bad thing for them.

"It looks like sending you to the palace is the best thing for Hani right now"

"What does uncle mean?" Ryeon looked at her uncle in surprise. This time, Uncle Han mentioned his real name.

"The person you help, will not let you go. In the near future he will definitely look for you to the village. And Uncle make sure you don't get in this village. That's very dangerous for us. The only way you have to go".

"Then what about mom, uncle?" Hani still feels guilty for her mother.

"Let uncle explain everything to your mother". There was a speck of relief in Hani's mind. Eventually he was able to help the Nile Village Trouble by sacrificing himself to be sent to the palace. After all, he will get more opportunities to find adventure experiences in the outside world in addition to the nile village.

"And always be careful, because the palace is not a safe place that people often think of. The enemy is not just from the outside, it could be from the people closest to you". Uncle Han's message.

" Good Hani understood uncle".

...         *****************...

The morning had come, but his mother was still not out of her dispute. Was his mistake unforgivable?.

Hani regretted saying that to her mother. It felt like he had met his mother for the last time before he left for the palace.

has uncle not explained everything to mother yet? Hani is stunned without realizing his mother has been in front of him.

"mother forgave you Hani. Mom let you go. Sorry, all this time I've been holding you back by hiding your true identity as a woman. Sorry". Madam Hana's cry broke out hugging Hani's body. Makes Hani grow guilty of seeing her mother cry because of her .

"No ! mother is innocent. Sorry, Sorry, Hani" both cried.

Madam Hana let go of her embrace and gave something to Hani.

"This is for you. The answer to all your questions that I never answered all this time.You have to take good care of this". Hearing this, Hani wants to quickly open it, but Madam Hana prevents her from opening it when she heads to the palace.

Hani nodded .he smiled and hugged her mother one last time

...*********...

The sky was clear, the birds were chirping, the wind was blowing back and forth in the nile village. Being a silent witness hani leaves the village. Madam Hannah's cries inevitably returned to see Hani riding the palace messenger horse carriage.

There was only uncle Han , the village elder and his mother who delivered. Because the village elder did not inform the residents of his departure because of the agreement that uncle Han made.

Before Hani left, his Uncle had introduced himself to the village elder in secret. That she was a woman and explained something Hani did not know.

Initially, Hani could see the angry look of the village elder because he had been lied to all this time about his true identity. And he has placed great hopes on Hani to become his future granddaughter-Nana couple. However, seeing the reality before his eyes was simply impossible, even after seeing Ryeon's real face which was none other than Hani's countenance turned into a look of admiration.

"This is a great beauty".

And the village elder promised not to tell anyone about it.

Before leaving he wanted to know the messenger girl from the Nile Village.

whether you qualify or not.

Because if there is a disability from the physical messenger a little.it can be a reason for punishment for the Soldier to be whipped because he has neglected to carry out his duties poorly. one of them was to check the village envoy during the pick-up.

when Hani was about to board the chariot the soldier prevented him. Hani covered his entire face with an outer hanbok shirt so that he was not recognized by residents when he came out of his house earlier.

"Miss Nile Village envoy, please open your outer hanbok for a moment". The orders of the soldiers made Hani obey him.

'deservedly the residents did not drive him, apparently his face is very bad. Lucky her eyes could still be her advantage. it was so beautiful'

"already. You can enter "the soldier commands Hani to enter immediately because it will leave soon.

From the window of the train he could see his mother waving her hand.She looked at him sadly with the uncle. As well as the elder with who smiled at him while muttering something that he could catch reciting

'thank you'

what does the village elder mean ? is he grateful that I was willing to sacrifice my life for the village? Hani is very confused

Now the train takes her towards the palace along with the girls from various other villages .

it's Weird

it felt very awkward when he had entered the horse carriage earlier. He found various emissaries from other villages very beautiful and charming. Different from himself. And their faces mostly look sad like they have a burden.

'what exactly is it? did I enter the train wrong? why do they see me concerned? is it because my disguise worked? all the questions rang in Hani's mind . What he has missed.

Better he rest, travel time to the palace is very long.that he knows from his uncle.that to the palace takes at most 2 days.

...*****************...

Not long enough Hani fell asleep however, sayup voice Hani heard someone crying .

He woke up unable to close his vision back, he found a girl next to him lowered his head.

"Why are you sad, miss?" tanya Hani admired the figure who was beside her very charming.

"I don't want to go to the palace" he replied.

"Why?" Hani's confused.

"Don't you know? you, me and all the girls on this train" pointed out the girl in the carriage "will be selected to be the emperor's concubine. do you not know?"

" what do you mean, miss?" hearing that, Hani still did not understand .didn't he be sent to the palace to be a servant until the next few years .

it's so weird, is it possible that I actually got the wrong train?

"Can you please explain? I really don't know what the lady said" Hani was still wondering what the lady meant. In other words, Hani knows nothing about the problem.
