Chapter 770 – #96. Jinhaesol (74)
“Isn’t the concubine mama conceived? Your Majesty, the punishment is too harsh.”
The first reason they were able to insist on saving the concubine was that they had conceived.
The second was that the fact that he had been conceived was a great congratulation from the imperial family, and he was asking for forgiveness of sins with that credit.
The third was the claim that there was suspicion about the evidence that the empress had been ‘cursed’.
“Concubine Mama has been complaining about her injustice from the beginning until now. Please delay until it is clear who is responsible for this case!”
“…”
In the end, what they claim is just one unconvincing excuse.
Even though the reason I was delaying the punishment wasn’t because they were so close together, I appealed for the concubine to be saved.
‘Empress Luabel’s family is too strong.’
In fact, it’s not that the aristocrats over there are all over the place just because they’re good.
It is a duke’s family, and from the beginning, it stood in line well and received my trust, and even the empress came from the family of the Duke of Semoron.
Having to be careful of one’s relatives is a painful thing to say.
For the proper balance, it was necessary to press down on the empress’ family a little.
‘That’s why they run wild more. Because I know I can’t just side with the duke.’
The rest of the nobles also had to raise their ranks so that they could respond to the Duke of Samoron to some extent.
‘Then shouldn’t we make excuses that her concubine cursed the empress in the first place?’
If that were the case, wouldn’t I have a bone ache?
The evidence presented by the empress was crystal clear, but they were arguing fiercely.
On the pretext of having suspicions that the evidence was tampered with.
If you ask them to tell you what they suspect in detail, in the end, all they can say is circumstantial evidence.
‘She accused the empress of envying her concubine who conceived her concubine and was cursed by her! It’s called.’
It’s nonsense.
Couldn’t she break her promise to me?
However, since the nobles did not know the promise between the empress and me, I said, ‘No way?’ I know that my heart is shaking while doing it.
“I’m sorry. I need to deal with this quickly.”
I couldn’t help but apologize to the victim, the empress.
However, she couldn’t officially deliver her apology, so she went to her and secretly whispered in her ear.
“I don’t care if it’s delayed. As long as it’s properly punished. Just know that this is something I can’t concede to.”
The empress said in a somewhat cold voice.
Still, when I saw him looking at me, it didn’t seem like he was hurt enough to change his mind.
“I have no intention of not not punishing Jim either. But isn’t the child in the womb innocent?”
“It is not unusual for a child to suffer the sins of its mother.”
“Does the empress think that even the child should be punished?”
The child problem is something I cannot concede.
“I know very well why Your Majesty is hesitant. But I want you to know that we cannot take a good look at a child who threatens our crown prince.”
From the empress’ point of view, both her concubine and her child were nothing more than a lump of her concubine, so she had no choice but to understand.
“Still, I’m a bit disappointed. Isn’t that Jim’s child?”
“I told you the truth to His Majesty. If you don’t like that, should I embellish your answer?”
“Jim made a mistake. I can’t stand the empress.”
I can’t go out hard because I’m already sorry.
This… It became a situation where I stepped on shit properly.
It’s a situation where both sides suffer.
So how lucky are you?
The empress had agreed to suspend her punishment until her concubine gave birth to her child.
“I hope you will calmly cut off their absurd claims.”
But that was the last thing she could concede.
She never agreed with the absurd claim that her sins be forgiven.
“It is a natural duty for a concubine to become pregnant. But does it make sense to be forgiven of sins with that?”
As expected, people who have been blinded once are people who cut like a knife, and it was the same this time.
She had no intention of forgiving her concubine.
“It is right to drive him out of the palace.”
“What about the child?”
“Don’t you know how many courtiers can take care of a child? In the first place, they do parenting. Your Majesty, Your Majesty must keep the center firmly. Only then will the laws of this imperial palace stand properly.”
The Empress showed her will to never back down, and I also fully understood her situation.
The only reason I hesitated was that the veins in the concubine’s stomach would be stepped on.
“It’s a situation called, what do you think?”
Even if I thought about it alone, it seemed that the answer would not come out.
However, this place was in a state where interests were mixed in a complicated way, so I couldn’t ask for an opinion.
So she got out of there altogether and asked perfect third parties for their opinions.
It was because at least the older sisters I knew would make a wise decision.
…Since I am a mother of children, I thought she would be more sympathetic to my situation.
Wouldn’t it be right for a child not yet born to be innocent?
“Have you heard of historical drama scenarios?”
“No.”
The first people to ask for their opinions were Jung-hwa and Joo-ah.
Coincidentally, she was with the two of them, and since there is no one as trustworthy as Jeong-hwa when it comes to raising a child, I thought that she would surely tell me something that would help me.
“Since we are consulting seriously, I want you to answer without joking.”
“It’s so out of the blue.”
“Looking at Haesol’s expression, I must have been really serious.”
Unlike my sullen older sister Joo-a, Jung-hwa was trying to listen to my counseling seriously.
“The concubine made a mistake, but she is worried about the child who will grow up without a mother?”
“Because there is no one I can trust.”
“Do you really have no one to trust?”
“Yes.”
Not even the empress, and leaving it to her concubine is not desirable.
“If it were me, I think she would have checked what kind of person the guilty concubine was. No matter how bad she is, there are not many mothers who can be mean to their own children.”
Jeong-hwa’s words certainly have some truth.
The concubine I watched was a jealous and greedy woman, but she could also be my prejudice.
“Because I am a mother who has given birth to a child, I think forcibly separating her from her child is the worst. Maybe that person will be hell for the rest of her life?”
Una Joo was unexpectedly taking the side of her concubine.
I naturally assumed that I would take the side of the empress, her victim.
“There is no guarantee that her concubine will raise the baby well?”
“Isn’t there a guarantee that you won’t be able to raise her?”
“That’s right.”
Sitting here and making predictions won’t change anything.
“But what about the victim? Wouldn’t she really hate it?”
“I’m not saying don’t punish me.”
“I’m not saying don’t punish Joo-ah, I’m saying don’t separate her child.”
What if you don’t leave the child?
The empress would definitely hate it.
Because it’s about making a fuss.
“Then they won’t be able to kick you out of the palace, even for the sake of the child, and lock them up in the Cold Palace. Wouldn’t it be emotionally bad to raise a child in a place like that?”
If I grew up in a place like that, wouldn’t I grow up with a vengeance against me?
You said you neglected my mother.
Then we will follow a similar history again.
Just like the rebel Audman did.
“That’s right…”
“The child is the problem. The child is the problem…”
No matter what, Jeong-hwa and Joo-a noona didn’t seem to change their stance that separating a mother and a child was the worst.
I couldn’t come up with a clear solution, but the two people’s opinions were similar to what I wanted, so it was helpful.
“Once I get it. I will refer to the opinions of the two.”
“Are you trying to challenge yourself as a writer now? I’m suspicious because he’s good at all sorts of things.”
“Didn’t you like the script coming in?”
“What kind of writer am I? It’s not like that.”
“Then is it also casting? Or is your new girlfriend a writer this time?”
That’s a very silly doubt.
I have met women of various professions, but I have never had a relationship with a writer.
“Isn’t it like that?”
“I’m not Haesol, so trust me.”
“My mother was also suspicious, but she pulled her feet out? Joy! We’ll see. She thinks it’s time to kick her as she’s been quiet lately.”
“I am innocent!”
I was busy with missions these days, so I had no desire to meet a new woman.
I have already met and slept with over 2,000 women there, so will a new woman catch my eye?
When you go there, there are so many women of various styles that it is not a joke that there is everything except what is missing.
It is also a situation where all of them are anxious to reach my eyes.
‘Uh? But isn’t that the same here?’
I suddenly thought of that, but the difference here is that if you hug women like that, it will be a big deal.
There, he carries women around with a lighter heart.
The next people to ask for their opinions were Ahyeon and Noona Boksun.
