Part 18: Child Control

“Oh, Mother…!”

Huang Bo Du-sung, who saw the Empress of the Huang Bo family, could not hide his embarrassed expression rather than being happy.

That would be the case-.

“You keep quiet.”

The Empress’s voice towards him was colder than the eternal snow.

“How many times have I told you to be careful with your words?”

The Empress clicked her tongue.

“How, even at that age… . Tsk tsk.”

however.

Even in the midst of all this, Hwangbo Du-sung seemed to have felt wronged by something.

It seemed like he had something to say.

“… But, Mother. This is-!”

“Didn’t I tell you to shut up?!”

Boom!

How profound her inner strength and enlightenment were.

Suddenly, the entire building shook violently, the windows rattled, and everyone screamed.

‘Damn it…!’

Hwangbo Du-sung ground his teeth inwardly.

His gaze was directed at Sakongja Yeonbi, who was still holding onto his collar and not letting go.

‘This is a dog like a dog!’

It was all because of this little kid.

And then, the man who was grabbed by the collar just rolled his eyes and said, “His wife.”

I tried to aim at the oil painting.

‘Sure enough, this bitch used my little brother to set me up…!’

Hwangbo Du-sung himself knew deep down that this was a childish wish.

Yet he could not control his despair, anger, and resentment.

‘One day, I’m going to beat all those bastards to death…!’

but.

At this moment, the thing that no one here cared about the most was Hwangbo Du-sung’s feelings.

Everyone except him was focused on the meeting between the Empress and the Duke of Sajong, Yeonbi.

“Should I introduce myself first?”

First of all, even if you don’t pull out your sword.

Put your son down, he could threaten the Duke himself enough.

The Empress did not do so.

“… I am Yeonbi, the fourth son of the Luoyang Sword Family.”

“You know who I am, right?”

“Of course.”

Those watching him from the surrounding area swallowed dry saliva.

It was also shocking that the empress did not change her expression even when her son was being insulted.

But even in this situation, rather than releasing Hwangbo Du-sung’s hand from his collar, Sakongja Yeon-bi tightened her grip on his flinching collar.

It was quite shocking.

“Sagongja, Yeonbi… .”

As the Empress waved her hand, a butler quickly brought her her own portable chair.

She sat elegantly on the chair and smiled at the Duke of Sakong.

“I’ve known your mother for a long time. She has raised her son very well.”

“… … !”

For the empress to show herself like that.

It was such a pure compliment without any selfish intentions that even Yeon Yu-hwa, who was watching from the side, was momentarily taken aback.

“Since ancient times, the Sichuan Tang family has been famous for its excellent education, and your mother was also a very good woman… .”

Creepy-.

The Empress’s gaze as she looked at the Duke of Sakongja deepened to the point of comfort.

Those eyes seemed to peer deep into Yeonbi’s soul.

“The rumors were true, you’ve completed the Poison Man…!”

“… … .”

This time, even Sakongja Yeonbi’s eyebrows twitched.

The Empress had already accurately captured his true nature just by looking at him ‘properly’ once.

‘Is this the one who is called the Supreme Being…!’

“It’s amazing, very amazing.”

The Empress of the Hwangbo family sat with her legs crossed and smiled with interest.

“Outside the Sacheondang family. And not only that, but a child with blood mixed in from the swordsman family, and he was perfected as a poisonous person…”

She nodded gracefully.

“That’s right. That’s why the main family of the Sacheondang family supports you so thoroughly.”

Her gaze quickly turned to Yeonbi’s subordinates.

“… … .”

“… … .”

They were the best of the best who knew no fear, but under the Empress’s gaze, sweat was pouring down their faces.

Could an old woman sitting gracefully on a chair ever feel so threatening?

“of course.”

Her gaze left them and turned back to Sakongja Yeonbi.

“Sakongja, you were born with great talent and you worked hard. But the decisive factor that allowed you to perfect the Dok-in was….”

She got to the point in one breath.

“Is it with your mother who lives in seclusion and never shows herself to the outside world?”

Before the Duke of Sakong could respond, the Empress waved her hand first.

“It’s a sensitive question, so you don’t have to answer.”

And then he continued speaking.

“I understand that my son has acted rudely toward you, your highness, and is ashamed of his age. I will scold him severely and discipline him, so how about we stop here?”

“… … !”

To her reaction like that.

The one who was most surprised of all was Yeon Yu-hwa.

‘That empress, first…?!’

Apologizing and reaching out your hand.

Although it wasn’t a formal apology, and he didn’t even apologize to his son or discuss compensation or anything like that.

but.

‘How could I, a woman without blood or tears…!’

Yeon Yu-hwa, who knew the Empress well, couldn’t help but be shocked.

And that’s why.

She couldn’t help but look back at her younger sister, Sagongja Yeonbi.

‘It really was…!’

Everything he had heard through rumors was true.

‘Truly, you have become people that even the Empress cannot ignore…!’

Her eyes trembled from deep within.

By rumor, by information.

Hwangbo Se is also at his hometown.

She thought she already knew, but seeing it with her own eyes was a completely different shock to her.

“Is it not enough for me to just promise to crack down?”

The Empress’s words may have seemed arrogant, but Yeon Yu-hwa knew.

The woman who had ruled the Hwangbo family with an iron fist was now making a major concession.

And, that’s why.

“yes.”

I couldn’t help but be even more surprised by Sakongja Yeonbi’s words.

“It is not enough.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

It wasn’t just Yeon Yu-hwa who was surprised.

The Hwangbo family’s warriors were also standing there tensely, unable to even breathe.

The captain’s men were also preparing for any unforeseen circumstances.

Even Hwangbo Du-sung himself and the empress were held by the collar.

Everyone couldn’t help but be surprised by the shameless and brazen words of the private tutor, Yeonbi.

For a moment, the hallway became quiet.

Gulp-.

I heard someone swallowing first, but since everyone else was swallowing their saliva as well, I didn’t bother to check who it was.

Everyone, rather than that.

“… … .”

He was concentrating his attention on the Empress of the Hwangbo family, who was sitting on the chair with an expressionless face.

How will she react?

And then her mouth opened.

“haha…!”

surprisingly.

What burst out was the Empress’ hearty laughter.

“Hahahahahahaha!”

She smiled coolly and spoke to the Hwangbo family’s unmanned personnel.

“Did you all see it?”

The Empress added, clicking her tongue as if she didn’t like the unfamiliar reaction of the drones.

“If you are to lead an organization, even if it means acting as a proxy in the absence of the Grand Duke, who is the head of the organization, you must act in that way.”

Those who caught her gaze nodded quickly.

“The head of an organization is, before he represents the organization, he is the organization itself.”

She turned her gaze and looked at Sakongja Yeonbi.

“Whether it’s a concession, an understanding, an apology, or whatever it is, it should never be accepted lightly or easily.”

“… … .”

In that case, even if you don’t reveal it.

The one who showed the most extreme emotional changes was Hwangbo Du-sung.

‘Fuck, fuck, fuck…!’

Just now, the Empress’s words were in fact true.

It was nothing more than words meant to make Hwangbo Du-sung feel ashamed in front of everyone.

At least, that’s what he felt.

“But.”

The Empress’s gaze changed for an instant.

“… … !”

“… … !”

A sense of oppression that makes the room feel like it’s freezing in an instant.

Everyone felt their bodies being pressed hard and their breathing becoming difficult.

“Your Majesty. Have you forgotten that you are speaking in front of this empress?”

‘this…!’

Before she knew it, Yeon Yu-hwa’s entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

But she didn’t even notice that and just looked at the servant urgently.

‘Bia (翡兒)!’

Up until now, the appearance was sufficient.

She didn’t want to strain herself any more.

“Of course, I know.”

But the fuel efficiency.

It was scary and confident.

“Really? If that’s the case-.”

Yeonbi cut off the empress’s words as her eyes and spirit grew fiercer.

“That is why I do not believe the words that say they will discipline their children even more severely.”

The Empress’s eyes narrowed.

“…What does that mean?”

Yeonbi’s eyes also became narrower.

“Can I speak in front of everyone?”

Tch.

The Empress clicked her tongue briefly.

Even with those few words, she understood everything Yeonbi wanted to say.

“Everyone, please leave.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The Hwangbo family’s characters quickly left the hallway.

It was impossible to disobey the Empress.

“Don’t go inside.”

Without waiting for the answer of the royal concubine, the empress went first to the reception room at the end of the hallway.

It was the reception room where Yeonbi had been waiting for Yeonyuhwa just a moment ago.

* * *

“okay….”

In the spacious reception room were the Empress, the Duke of Sa, Yeon Yu-hwa, and Hwangbo Du-sung.

The Empress narrowed her eyes and looked at the Duke of Sakong, Yeon-bi, who still had not let go of Hwangbo Du-sung’s collar.

“Did that kid tell you?”

“Mother, I-!”

Yeon Yu-hwa tried to shake her head quickly, but the empress herself spoke first.

He denied his own words.

“That’s impossible. That child wanted to avoid causing trouble by causing unnecessary conflict between the two families because of himself. It’s his sense of responsibility for his younger siblings.”

“… … !”

Yeon Yu-hwa felt creepy.

sometimes.

Every time the Empress spoke words that could see right through a person’s mind, everyone in the Hwangbo family couldn’t help but feel an instinctive fear.

“then….”

The Empress’s gaze turned back to Sagongja Yeonbi.

“Sakongja. It seems that you are well-versed not only in the poison technique of Sacheondangga, but also in medicine.”

actually.

Although Sakongja Yeonbi’s medical skills were closer to those of his older brother Yeon Sohyeon than those of Sacheondangga, he did not mention it.

Instead, he.

“I knew it the moment I saw you, big sister.”

“… … .”

Yeon Yu-hwa eventually lowered her head at those words.

It was so shameful for her to see her younger brother like this, but at the same time.

I was so grateful to my younger brother who knew and got angry even without me saying anything.

“Ugh…!”

The hand of Sa-gong-ja Yeon-bi, who was grabbing Hwangbo Du-sung by the collar, became even stronger.

“The wounds were treated quickly and covered with clothes and makeup, but they couldn’t hide the peculiar smell of the medicine that was effective against external injuries. And…”

Kwaaak-!

“Ugh, ugh…!”

As his breathing became difficult, Hwangbo Du-sung’s once red face began to turn blue.

However, Yeonbi’s grip on his collar only grew stronger.

“The way he acts towards my older sister, the way he tries not to leave the two of us behind, and the way my older sister looks at him.”

A deep green flame flashed and bounced eerily in Yeonbi’s eyes.

“How could I not notice? Besides.”

His gaze was directed towards the empress.

“For something like this to happen within a family, of course, the head of the family had to give his silent approval.”

For a moment, silence came.

But the silence didn’t last long.

“ha….”

The Empress sighed and shook her head.

“I knew this day would come someday. I didn’t know it would be today.”

She, who had been clicking her tongue alone, opened her mouth toward Yeonbi.

“I’ll admit that I’ve been neglectful of housekeeping. But.”

Her gaze briefly turned to Yeon Yu-hwa, then back to Sakongja.

“It’s not something that either side would want to make a big fuss about.”

“… … .”

Yeonbi’s eyebrows twitched at the word ‘just’, but he said nothing.

Due to the Yongbong branch, all the people from the Central Plains are gathering together.

If this leaks out, not only Hwang Bo-se, but also Yeon Yu-hwa will not be able to show her face.

“furthermore.”

The Empress of the Hwangbo family raised one finger and pointed at the lotus flower.

The empress continued speaking, ignoring the flinching look on Yeon Yu-hwa’s face.

“You must not forget that the reason we kept that child, who could not produce a successor to the family line, in our family until now instead of throwing him away was for the sake of saving the reputation of the Luoyang Sword Family. However… ”

The empress asked the eunuch.

“I don’t think you will be satisfied with this. You won’t be able to satisfy your older brother either.”

She asked, clicking her tongue.

“What do you want?”

Okay then.

“From now on, I’m going to beat this guy up.”

Sakongja Yeonbi answered without the slightest hesitation.

“What…?!”

Hwangbo Du-sung was startled and tried to escape, but the swordsman knocked Hwangbo Du-sung off balance and threw him to the floor.

“I will repay all the pain you have caused my sister by beating her.”

“That’s ridiculous… ?!”

Hwangbo Du-sung looked at the empress in a hurry.

“Mother, no way-!”

The Empress did not wait for Hwangbo Du-sung’s answer.

“Do it.”

“… … ?!”

Hwangbo Du-sung’s mouth opened wide.
