The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 453

Wi Jeong-pil hurriedly stopped the work.

“Jimmu Dojang, how could Your Highness do that…”

“Shut up, old man. are you a baby If you don’t want to die earlier than Myeong, you’re crushed.”

Seeing Jinmu staring at him with terrifying eyes, Wi Jeong-pil felt his breath stop.

“Hey kid.”

“….”

“Is that really what you think? You want to run away?”

At those words, the prince looked at Jinmu without avoiding Jinmu’s bloody eyes even though his eyes were calmly trembling.

Even that seasoned Wi Jeong-pil is so blue that he can’t open his mouth.

Although the skin and bones are similar, it is indeed a platform worthy of the title of crown prince.

The true light that I saw when we first met was not a lie.

As Wi Jeong-pil said, it is a look that a naive guy who thinks of escaping can never have.

“I will not deny it. I hate this yellow castle.”

“You don’t like it?”

“Yeah, I hate it.”

“…”

“I hate my father who turned away from my mother’s death, and I hate my uncle who tries to use me in pursuit of power. Even those who cling to them and covet power, wrapped in the name of loyalty…

”

“…”

The prince deeply bit his lip at Jinmu’s words.

“Yes, she… killed my mother.”

“Don’t you want revenge?”

“plural? Do I look strong?”

The prince smiled and showed his skinny arms.

“It’s the same with this body, but I only have the crown prince’s name, but I have no strength. At the very least, Wi Jeong-pil, who feels sorry for me, is the only one.”

Jinmu listened to the voice that flowed from the mouth of the little boy, Prince Ani.

“But I know I have to take responsibility.”

“responsibility?”

“okay. A lot of people died to save me to protect me.”

“…”

“I didn’t want to be born as the Crown Prince, but it’s a responsibility I must shoulder and a debt I must pay.”

“But did you try to escape because you had no strength?”

At Jinmu’s question, the crown prince closed his mouth for a moment and looked at Wi Jeong-pil, who was sitting on one side, vaguely.

“Yeah, it was embarrassing. The image of people living freely like you.”

“…”

“When I heard your story, I thought I wanted to throw everything away and go after you.”

“I’ll let you go if you want. If only my purpose is fulfilled.”

“I’m leaving…”

The prince silently repeated Jinmu’s words and laughed.

“Well, can I?”

“what?”

“Wind is just wind. I can’t leave this place I survived not because I wanted to save my life, but because I hoped that the opportunity would come someday.”

“hope?”

“Yes, I hope that there are still more people who are loyal to this imperial family than those who covet power like the nobles and uncles.”

“….”

“And even if I said I was chasing you, what would that mean? He who pursues knows that he will never get ahead. It is a different life from mine.”

“Hoo!”

A groan escaped from Jinmu’s mouth.

“It’s pretty good for a kid.”

“You are unmanned and quite good. To say such words to the crown prince?”

“It’s overrated.”

Jinmu smiled at the prince’s laugh-like criticism.

“I liked it anyway.”

“…?”

“Because I knew he was worth trading with.”

“What do you mean?”

“I plan to get rid of the queen and the queen from now on.”

“what? is that now?”

The prince widened his eyes as if surprised.

According to Wi Jeong-pil, he is neutral, but he is close to King Yeong’s person. Why?

“The preparations have already been completed and you are my last hand. Yeokman (役滿: the best hand in mahjong).”

“Only stations?”

“okay. The highest and hardest hand to come out of. A final blow no one expected.”

Jinmu’s mischievous expression made the prince’s eyes shake wildly.

What is the alternative interest rate?

“Why me?”

“what?”

“Even if you’re not a princess, you can get more if you stand by your uncle’s side.”

“So, it must be nothing more than a consignment of what the King of Kings possessed.”

“….”

“I like to bet on the side of the high gain instead of the high risk.”

“Are you also greedy for power?”

“authority? what’s not good But you know what to do with yourself. Right now, I got involved out of necessity, but I really hate being a government official.”

“…you don’t want anything?”

“Hey, that sounds ignorant. It seems like he’s still young, but there are more important things in the world than power.”

“chamberlain?”

“money.”

“money?”

“Yes money. You’ll have to be prepared. I’m thinking of grabbing a piece.”

Jinmu blinked his eyes, and the prince, who had been staring at him blankly, suddenly started laughing.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! You are a very peculiar person.”

“…”

This bastard doesn’t know how precious money is and laughs at me.

“good night. I’ll give you anything if I can get rid of the queen and the queen. If you fail anyway, you won’t get anything.”

“Your Highness!”

Wi Jeong-pil hurriedly stood up and tried to stop the crown prince.

“How do you want to go back to that hellish place again?”

“Stop feeling great.”

“Your Highness…”

“Since this opportunity has come, I’m thinking of doing it. If you fail, will you do more than just die haha?”

“…”

Was it because his sincerity was conveyed? Wi Jeong-pil could not say anything to the Crown Prince.

“Okay deal done. As a bonus, I will help you with both your mind and heart so that you can climb the bow.”

“Bowie? Do you want to tell me to attack Your Majesty now?”

I accepted the offer, but it didn’t go there.

Does Lee Ji-ja know what he is talking about?

But Jinmu was just calm.

“What kind of disgusting remark is that? Abdicate, abdicate.”

“Are you going to accept the declaration of abdication?”

“of course.”

“Your Majesty… will never do that.”

“don’t worry. I have some power now.”

“…”

“Just decide. Then I will move the officials.”

Jinmu was confident enough.

He is already in a situation where he has taken full responsibility for the corruption of former ministers.

Why is it difficult to gather national opinion?

Furthermore, it is not impossible to get the emperor to step down if he takes responsibility for disturbing state affairs by being swayed by the queen.

Wouldn’t fresh young blood be much better than an incompetent emperor playing at the hands of a noble?

And that’s how you get paid for it.

Because the emperor will spend more money than the prince.

It might open up the remarks about the imperial palace that I had only heard about.

Imperial Palace Remarks Imperial Palace Remarks… Kya.

Jinmu forcibly pressed the corners of his mouth that were about to go up involuntarily and waited for the prince’s answer.

The prince, who had been thinking for a while, asked as if he had suddenly remembered.

“Is the Crown Prince of Gansuk your skill?”

“Oh that? Did you notice?”

“Since I was talking to you, I felt like that for some reason. Anyway, if that’s the case, that means you’ve been preparing for this for quite some time.”

“I can’t be that precise. I just thought that I must find you. Even if I’m not omnipotent, I’ll achieve whatever I set my mind to.”

At Jinmu’s words, the prince’s eyes changed several times.

He opened his mouth slowly and heavily.

“good night. As you said, after I ascend to the throne, will you definitely not give your will to power?”

“The emperor should take care of the coffin issue. Because I have enough money.”

“One more thing, what is the real reason you want to help me?”

“I told you. I like the bigger the gains.”

“Are you sure there is no other meaning than that?”

Jinmu just laughed at the prince’s question.

If I had to come up with a reason, would I have to say that I liked your podium that did not give in to my eyes?

And the attitude of taking responsibility for the dead is also very satisfying.

“Now then, shall we depart soon? To surprise everyone.”

“Um… good.”

The prince grabbed Jinmu’s outstretched hand and stood up.

Wi Jeong-pil still looked at their backs with worried eyes.

“Has the Emperor Omok returned?”

“Not yet…”

asked Jinmu as he walked out the door, and Omok, who was ready to move, shook his head.

“The damn idiot is dragging on needlessly. go and tell He will be attending the Daejeon Conference, so be sure to bring the contents of the interrogation of the kingship, especially the proof that the poison of the black snake was involved in the deaths of the princes.”

“All right.”

“Great Palace!”

“yes.”

“Send a call to Sechan. The fake prince game is over. Erase all traces and immediately withdraw from the search for the real crown prince.”

“All right.”

The Omok and Daegung received different orders and flung themselves.

“The rest will go to the imperial castle.”

“yes!”

* * *

Dang Se-ryeong’s hand, which was thinly slicing through the flesh, stopped, and Hwang-shin’s eyes widened like a bell.

“You child! What do you mean?”

“…”

Dang Se-ryeong, her eyes wide open, grabbed the kingship by the collar.

However, there was no way that Wangjik, whose whole body was in tatters, could speak properly.

Although he was a king who had undergone severe training from the palace to fulfill his duties, he was helpless in front of the cruel torture of Dang Se-ryeong.

The pain caused by the torture was also painful, but perhaps because of the amount of blood shed, she was not in a sound state of mind.

“…never… can’t… survive.”

“…”

He muttered the same words over and over again.

He was given medicine to help him survive the torture, but he would soon die.

Should I believe

Shall we dismiss it as speaking casually in a state of stupor?

If true, the imperial palace would surely face the worst.

“What about you, sister?”

“What the fuck what! You should tell me soon.”

Dang Seryeong tried to move without even washing away the blood on his hands.

“Hwangsin!”

At that moment, the door to the torture room was thrown open.

“The sub-lord?”

“Here you are. I need to move quickly.”

“yes?”

Oemok asked Dang Se-ryeong, ignoring Hwangshin’s question.

“Did you find out anything?”

“…?”

I figured it out because I tortured him.

“I found out several things. What a terrifying plan indeed. But what is it?”

“I’m glad. You should go to the imperial palace as soon as possible.”

“The imperial palace?”

“yes. The Daejeon Conference was held. While going there, the Heavenly Lord told me to bring what I found out and what Mandokjeonju found out about the poison of the Book of Black Death.”

“…!”

Dang Se-ryeong and Hwang Shin opened their eyes wide and looked at him at the same time.

“The Daejeon meeting was held?”

“yes? yes. But why are you so surprised?”

“Shit!”

“…?”

When Dang Se-ryeong spat out swear words with a chewed expression, the outer eyes made a more puzzled expression.

“The situation is at its worst.”

“What is it?”

“I will explain as I go. I’ll put together what uncle found out and follow right away, so please head to the imperial palace as soon as possible.”

“…yes?”

“It absolutely has to be stopped. No one should be allowed to attend the Daejeon Conference.”

“That’s…”

He kept saying more and more unknown things.

Shouldn’t you tell me the reason for something to convince me?

“I hope not, but if the queen has the worst in mind… everyone in the meeting will die.”

“Yes?”

Dang Se-ryeong, who had only one eye that could not properly grasp the situation, blinked blankly and could not stand it, pulling his collar and shouting.

“What are you looking at! Hurry up, you slug bastard! If you do something wrong, your captain and all the people living in the imperial palace will die!”

“…”

What is it? What is this familiar idiom? It’s like Heaven… It feels like that.

“Are your ear canals clogged? Aren’t you running fast?”

“Yes? Yes!”

The outer eye, which answered awkwardly, hurriedly ran toward the imperial palace.
