Episode 588 Limited Time

“I see. A concubine.”

When Cheonma was inwardly greatly amazed at Okso-gyo’s words,

Oxo-kyo explains with a slightly dangerous glare.

“Yes. If you do that, not only will all your problems be solved, but it will also be beneficial in many ways.”

“It’s good in many ways?”

Cheonma tilted his head at Okso-gyo’s explanation that making Cheongun’s wives his concubines was beneficial in many ways.

Because I wasn’t sure what it meant.

I knew it was good for me, but I had no idea what he meant by it being good in so many ways.

Then Okso-gyo continued speaking with an expression as if telling them to listen carefully.

“Yes, think about it. Cheongun’s···.”

“for a moment!”

“yes?”

However, the explanation of the Okso Bridge does not last long and is soon stopped by Cheonma.

Cheonma pointed out Okso-gyo’s words with stern eyes and a slightly embarrassed look.

“Ah, from now on…. Call me Cheongun-nim.”

“to?”

Ok So-gyo blinked with a slightly surprised expression at Cheon Ma’s remark.

But Okso-gyo’s surprised expression soon changed to something else.

The corners of Okso-gyo’s mouth slightly rose and an unbearable smile appeared on his face.

Okso-gyo quickly bowed his head and apologized, barely able to suppress his laughter.

It’s so precious and funny to see Seonghwa-nim feeling a little embarrassed, but as Seonghwa-nim said, it was definitely a mistake.

It was absurd to call the person who was to be Seonghwa’s partner by his name so carelessly.

“I’m sorry, Holy Spirit. I didn’t think about it.

Certainly… I should call you Cheongun-nim. Yes, I should. Of course I should. Haha.”

“Okay, I understand. I forgive you for your mistake.”

Up until now, I treated him like a child because he felt like the adopted son of Elder Eun So-hwa, but as Seong Hwa said, from now on, it is a name that should not be called carelessly.

Okso-gyo thought to himself.

It is also blasphemous to mention His name, so we must give Him another title.

And in that brief moment of thought, a pretty good name flashed through my mind.

How about a name like this, for someone who will fill the Holy Spirit with eternal fire?

Holy oil.

I thought it would be good to call it holy oil, meaning white and holy oil that fills the altar.

Okso-gyo quickly told Cheonma what he thought.

If I wanted to explain, I had to mention Cheongun-nim by name, but I couldn’t commit such an irreverence again.

“But it is disrespectful for us to call you by your name, even though you are not the Holy Fire. Then, what if we call you Seongyu from now on? Holy Fire?”

“chrism?”

“Yes, in the sense of holy oil. It means that it fills the body so that the Holy Spirit can burn brightly…”

Cheonma’s face turned slightly red at the explanation of Oksogyo.

Cheonma answered while looking at the distant mountains for no reason.

Because he is the one who will fill the baby’s stomach.

“Well, you, do whatever you want.”

“Okay, Holy Spirit. I will tell those I cut to call you that too. Oh, and I will explain to you why I said it would be good in many ways.”

“okay.”

After pointing out the title, Oksogyo resumes his explanation.

Okso-gyo said in a bright voice.

“The other wives of the Seongyu clan are from the families of Jegal, Namgung, Hwangbo, Murong, Tang, and even the Nanman Beast Palace. Is that all? The daughters of the Jegal clan are the bloodline of the Lord of the Northern Sea Ice Palace. If you just bring them to the bridge, the mouths of the other elders who were whining about when the Central Plains would be conquered will be shut.

Because it’s like taking the daughter of one third of the Central Plains martial arts power hostage.”

“Hoo···.”

Cheonma nodded his head, saying that Okso-gyo’s words sound plausible.

To be honest, it was clear that the elders who had been whining about when they would go conquer the Central Plains would cheer if Ryu Cheong-un took his other wives with him.

We had left them to fight amongst themselves and reduce their numbers, but these days that has become rare, so stories about conquering the Central Plains have been coming out.

Cheonma slightly held his chin and nodded at Oksogyo’s explanation.

And then he ‘praised’ the Okso Church.

“Oxo-kyo. I praise your wisdom.”

“Huh!? Chi, praise!?”

Ok So-gyo blinked with a surprised expression at Cheon Ma’s praise.

I couldn’t help but be surprised, as I had never received such praise in the ten years I had served him.

“Yeah, good job.”

That’s twice.

“Oh, it is an honor. Holy Fire. Ahh… praise from the Holy Fire.”

Ok So-gyo is moved to tears by Cheon Ma’s praise.

Cheonma’s cautious voice was heard by Okso-gyo, who was holding back tears.

“So then, what should we do now?”

Then, as if he had been waiting for this, Okso-gyo suddenly stood up from his seat and said.

“Didn’t Cheongun, or rather Seongyu, say that he was planning to marry his wives?”

“Yeah, isn’t that something you and I both know?”

“It is absolutely impossible for a concubine to get married before the main wife. If you leave it to me, I, Oksogyo, will take care of it all!”

If she becomes the first wife, it is only natural that she will get married before anyone else.

Cheonma nodded in response.

“Allowed!”

***

When I opened my eyes, my heart felt empty.

No, it wasn’t my mind that was empty, it was my body.

‘Life is a journey of coming empty-handed and leaving empty-handed. That’s life. Because of what happened last night, I’m now penniless…’

I took two pills of Healing Pills yesterday and the side effects were no joke.

I felt as if I had been in a dehydrator.

It’s like my mind, not my body, is completely absorbed in something?

But today, I had no regrets seeing Cheong-i, who didn’t even go to the counter, but was happily hugging me with a shiny face as if she had an oil pack on.

‘It was a choice I have no regrets about···.’

Well, I had a clear goal, so I had to be motivated for the time being.

That’s right, a baby.

My worries about going to the wedding on a full stomach were in vain, as for some unknown reason, the baby did not come for almost half a year.

But since his life was at stake, he had to make it a success at all costs.

If I die like this, several families may be wiped out.

Especially, since our Jegal family had no other choice but me, I had to get Cheong-yi pregnant faster than anyone else.

‘Is this how it will be?’

Yesterday, I was looking at Cheong-i with worried eyes, wondering what would happen if I didn’t get better even though I tried my best.

Cheong-i, who was hugging me, lifted her head slightly and looked at me with her lake-blue eyes and asked.

“Old man, are you awake?”

Perhaps he sensed that I was up.

Even if Cheong-i isn’t at the level of Cheonma, she’s a master who can tell when someone she’s holding has woken up.

“Madam, you didn’t come down today?”

“Yes. We’re going down together.”

When I asked why she was still lying down without even going to work, Cheong-i smiled and held my hand tightly in response to my question.

‘Yeah. Well, the wife can rest. There are a lot of employees too.’

Cheong-i nodded and answered.

“It seems a little late, so let’s go down and have breakfast together.”

“Yes, old man.”

Cheong-i and I washed our faces in the water that someone had brought.

I rub my face with cold water to wake me up and am then handed a white towel.

As I looked in the direction the towel was handed to me with my face dripping with water, Cheong-i was smiling at me as she handed me the towel.

“Thank you.”

A moment that exudes a fresh, newlywed vibe.

When I said thank you, Cheong-i smiled and replied.

“No. That’s something a wife would naturally do.”

A time that I wish would stop forever.

They helped each other get dressed and tie their hair.

And that was the moment when we opened the door and headed downstairs, holding hands, to get ready and have a slightly late breakfast.

As I opened the door and went out, Chobin was waiting outside.

Chobin must have been waiting for me to help him, because he bowed to us as soon as the door opened.

“Your Majesty.”

“Oh, right, Chobin. Cheong-i helped me today, so Chobin’s help wasn’t needed. You can leave now.”

When I told Chobin that he could go back and rest today because Cheong-i was helping him, Chobin shook his head and said that he had something to tell me.

“Yes, I thought you might be late. But I kept you waiting because I had something to tell you.”

“to me?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Cheong-i and Cho-bin looked at each other as he told them that he had something to say, then turned their gaze to Cho-bin.

Then Chobin came and said that he had come to convey his mother’s request.

“Master Sohwa said to come to the third floor when you finish eating.”

“Your mother?”

“yes.”

If it’s the third floor, it means you’re with the craftsmen.

I nodded, wondering if the adults had something to say to me.

Since both families, not just the two, have gathered before the wedding, there may be a lot to talk about.

“Okay, I’ll just have breakfast with Cheong and then I’ll go.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Then I will say it that way.”

After hearing Chobin’s story, Cheongi and I went down to the first floor and asked for something to eat for breakfast.

But even though I sat down, I couldn’t see my wives.

Normally at this hour there would be at least one person on the first floor of the spot, but none of the wives were in sight.

On days when I came down late, everyone was usually waiting on the first floor, but not a single person showed up.

“Where did everyone go?”

“That’s right. I don’t see Young-young or Maeng-hee either.”

Yeong-yeong and Maeng-hee like people, so they usually watch the guests coming and going from the first floor, but even these two are nowhere to be seen.

He tilted his head and asked Wol-hee, who brought him food.

Because if it was Wolhee, she would probably know where her wives were.

“Wol-hee, haven’t you seen the other wives? Even Yeong-yeong and Maeng-hee aren’t visible. Haven’t you seen them?”

“Oh, you two?”

“Yeah, because it doesn’t look weird.”

“Not only you two, but even Soso is not in the kitchen. Madam Eun called everyone up to the third floor because she had something to say.”

“okay?”

“Yes, Miss Biyeon and Miss Okryeong, who came for the morning report, are also here.”

“Even Biyeon and Okryung?”

I thought he only invited his family, but it turns out he invited Okryung and even Biyeon.

Cheong-i and Yeong-eun looked at each other with expressions that said they didn’t understand.

“What on earth is going on?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

There’s no way a mother would discipline her daughters-in-law before the wedding.

And my secretaries Biyeon and Okryeong are there too.

It was when I finished eating and went up to the third floor, thinking it was a strange thing.

As I opened the door and stepped inside, everyone inside looked at me with worried expressions.

‘what?’

When I looked at my mother, who was talking about Moira, I saw her with her eyes tightly shut.

Cheonma and Okso-gyo were sitting behind me, and then I saw Okso-gyo suddenly standing up from her seat.

And then her voice was heard.

“I told you all to gather here as I said before. It was to tell you about Cheongun-nim’s body.”

‘Huh!’

A few days ago, I asked Cheong-i about what happened when I collapsed, and Cheong-i said that her mother had guaranteed that Okso-gyo was the woman with the highest medical skills in the Cheonmasin Church.

But when I saw her commenting on my body, I thought, this must be it.

What would a doctor do if he gathered all the guardians together?

This was clearly a death sentence.

‘Oh my god… A terminal diagnosis! I’m terminal!’

I was a little scared, so I grabbed the hand of Cheong-i who was standing next to me.

I was prepared for this, but at this moment, I really wanted to live a long time.
