Eunuch bim

king mu yeol
(raised his right hand up, signalling them to stop) No, I will go and see for myself, how important this work of his is.
The king went out immediately with his eunuchs, maids and guards following him.
Queen Hwa ju was on her way to see the king, when she saw him heading to the prince chambers, and quickly followed after him.
The king banged the door open and saw the prince with four women on the bed, One was massaging his neck, one was cutting his finger nails, another was dancing.and the other was playing the zither.
Their attention all went towards the opened door, they saw the king and quickly paid their respect(bowed).
the gisaeng quickly left the chambers.
king mu yeol
I sent for you and you said you were doing something important, is this the important thing you're doing!!?, hanging around with gisaeng. what kind of king will you be!?
king mu yeol
am I not talking to you?(he said angrily).
just in, the queen came in
queen hwa ju
your majesty calm down, don't be harsh on him, he's just a child.
king mu yeol
stop supporting him, he's 26 years old, which means he knows what's good and what's bad.its your fault, you spoilt him.
queen hwa ju
he didn't even touch the girls. he's just passing time by.
king mu yeol
oh yeah?, and last time he was caught with a maid in bed.
queen hwa ju
why are you so hard on him?, he's your only son, go and rest I will talk to him
king mu yeol
are you sure you can handle him?
king mu yeol
you...( pointing at prince buyong) if you keep up with this habit, you're not worthy to be a king (he left the prince chamber angrily).
queen hwa ju

queen hwa ju
why do you always make your father angry?, you should listen to him.
prince buyong
I do everything he says, I keep trying but all my effort is in vain. Does he want me to die before he can rest?
queen hwa ju
he's only trying to protect you.
prince buyong
from what?, I don't need it
queen hwa ju
where are you going to?
prince buyong
outside the palace, the atmosphere in here is suffocating, I need some fresh air.
queen hwa ju
ok, but becareful and take care of yourself, I will go talk to your father.
she quickly left the prince chamber
he changed his cloth and disguised himself as a commoner, so that he can blend in with the people and no one can notice him. he enters the carriage which was prepared by his assistant.
jae kyung hu

prince buyong
anywhere as long as it's not within the palace.
jae kyung hu

jae kyung hu

and they drove off in the carriage.
Eunuch bim

queen hwa ju
