Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 127
After hearing Jeok Wigang’s full explanation, Ju Seo-gi struck the desk with an angry expression.
Bang-!
“How could she do such a thing!”
“You have been thoroughly used.”
“Huh. It’s already painful to be powerless, but to do such a thing… Even the child wasn’t mine.”
“Now that you know it’s not His Majesty’s child, you should immediately expel Noble Consort Man and live peacefully with the Empress.”
“If what you say is true, then I should certainly do so. However, will she leave quietly? Won’t she deny it and make a fuss? Besides, I hear the Hanlin Academy Scholars are supporting her?”
“They are no longer Your Majesty’s subjects. You need not be afraid.”
“Grand Scholar of the Cabinet. If you say so, then it must be so.”
“If you entrust it to me, I will handle them as well.”
Ju Seo-gi nodded readily.
“I shall ask this of you. Please, do so.”
“Understood. By the way, I heard there’s been good news lately.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Ju Seo-gi’s face turned red.
“Ahem! You knew? I tried my best to keep it secret. I suppose I can’t fool the Grand Scholar of the Cabinet.”
“I apologize, Your Majesty. It somehow reached my ears.”
“Hahaha. No, I’m the one who’s sorry. I should have told the Grand Scholar first, of all people.”
“What has happened?”
“Ahem! Well, as my health improved, my relationship with the Empress has grown closer. And so… ahem.”
“I congratulate you on the conception of Your Majesty’s true bloodline, Your Majesty.”
“Hahaha! Thank you. All of this is entirely your achievement. Once all the chaos in the Imperial Palace is over, I will surely commend your merits.”
“You need not do so, Your Majesty.”
“No. I may compromise on other things, but I absolutely cannot compromise on this.”
“Understood. Do as Your Majesty wishes.”
“Hahaha! You may look forward to it.”
It was somewhat unsettling, but it didn’t matter anyway.
After all, once things here were settled, he planned to leave the Imperial Palace without regret.
A proper heir had been conceived, so now all that remained was to resolve the disturbance that was Noble Consort Man.
He had already prepared everything for that as well.
***
“Do we really have to go this far?”
“No matter how urgent the situation has become, siding with Noble Consort Man is a bit…”
A figure who burst into anger at the scholars showing reluctance.
It was the former Grand Scholar.
“Then are you saying we should just stand by and watch the country perish! Even if we get our hands dirty, shouldn’t we protect the nation’s foundation!”
“That’s right! Although Noble Consort Man may be a villainess, her son will ascend to Imperial Majesty’s throne in the future, so I think it wouldn’t be bad for us to educate him in advance.”
These were people harboring thoughts of creating the next Emperor with their own hands to build absolute power that would surpass Dongchang.
“If we go like this, will Noble Consort Man agree to meet us?”
“She will meet with us. If only for the sake of her child.”
“She might even be waiting.”
“What power do we have? Right now the Imperial Palace has been occupied by those so-called real combat talents or whatever they are.”
“Hmph! Real combat talents, what nonsense. True governance is practiced through the words of sages. Tsk tsk.”
“You speak correctly. Right now it may seem like the country is running well on the surface, but soon its limits will be reached. Then this country will collapse like a castle built on sand.”
“From now on, our role is very important. Depending on how we act, this country could last a thousand or ten thousand years, or it could perish tomorrow.”
“We’re not doing this because we covet power, but because we’ve united to rebuild the country! So let’s go! Let’s go meet Noble Consort Man and restore this nation!”
“Let’s go!”
The Hanlin Academy Scholars’ opinions became unified, and they immediately rushed in a crowd toward the residence where Noble Consort Man was staying.
***
“No, it’s really an important matter.”
“Important or not, how many times must I say that today is not possible? Please leave. Come back tomorrow.”
The eunuchs guarding Changchun Palace where Noble Consort Man resided were desperately blocking the Hanlin Academy Scholars from entering.
“These people, really. How many times have we said it’s a crucial matter! Quickly go and tell Noble Consort Man that we’ve come on truly important business!”
“That’s not possible. If we do that, our heads will roll. Absolutely not.”
“Your heads will absolutely never roll. So just go and convey our message. If you say we came about Crown Prince matters, she’ll welcome us.”
“Ah, well. No matter what issue you’ve come about, it’s not possible. So please, come back tomorrow.”
The Hanlin Academy Scholars tilted their heads at the sight of the eunuchs pleading even more desperately.
“Is there some matter inside? Why are you so desperately trying to block us?”
“We cannot tell you that. So please withdraw for today and come back tomorrow.”
At the eunuchs’ reaction, the scholars thought that Noble Consort Man was intentionally avoiding them.
Their pride was hurt, but this was the last method.
Only by making Noble Consort Man’s son the Crown Prince, the Emperor, could they regain the status they had enjoyed.
“Hmm.”
“Let’s come again tomorrow.”
“That’s right. It seems there really is some unavoidable reason today.”
“Is that so?”
“We were also at fault for coming so suddenly without notice.”
“Ahem. I, I see. Understood. Then tomorrow again…”
“What? Everyone’s gathered here?”
At someone’s voice suddenly intruding, the scholars’ gazes turned in unison.
There stood Jeok Wigang with his arms crossed, grinning wickedly.
“You, you…”
Everyone trembled and couldn’t open their mouths.
“Why are you so happy that you’re even trembling? I’m pleased to see you too. Anyway, this worked out well. I was just thinking I needed to call you, and you came here on your own.”
“You were going to call us?”
“Yes. You came to see Noble Consort Man, right?”
At Jeok Wigang’s question, everyone turned their heads away.
“No use pretending otherwise, I knew when I came. Noble Consort Man won’t meet with you, right?”
“What did you do?”
“Hey. I’m the Prime Minister of this country, so isn’t calling me ‘this guy’ and ‘that guy’ a bit too much? You learned people have no manners.”
“Kugh!”
The scholars trembled again.
Soon they asked with humiliated expressions, speaking each word separately.
“What did you do?”
“It’s not what I did, it’s just that right now is a time when Noble Consort Man won’t meet with anyone. Probably, even if His Majesty came to visit, she wouldn’t meet with him, right?”
When Jeok Wigang asked for confirmation from someone, a figure standing behind quietly stepped forward.
“That’s correct.”
“Gasp! You, you are!”
The scholars were surprised, and at the same time, the eunuchs who were guarding the place were also shocked.
It was Dongchang Taegam, Son Gang.
The person who had given strict orders that absolutely no one should be allowed in at this time.
“Stand aside.”
At Son Gang’s command, the eunuchs who had been desperately blocking the scholars stepped back in unison.
Then Jeok Wigang smiled wickedly and said.
“Everyone follow me. I’ll show you something interesting.”
Something interesting?
People crowded together following Jeok Wigang.
The Golden Guards were following behind them with frightening expressions.
After a while, they arrived at Noble Consort Man’s quarters.
The people gathered there were momentarily flustered upon hearing embarrassing sounds coming from Noble Consort Man’s quarters.
“Wh-what is this?”
What was coming from Noble Consort Man’s quarters was a woman’s moans.
Passing by the confused people, Jeok Wigang grabbed the door to Noble Consort Man’s quarters and threw it wide open.
Then the palace maids inside became greatly flustered and tried to block Jeok Wigang somehow.
However, Son Gang and Ye Yahyeon behind him spoke with frightening faces.
“Stand aside.”
Under the killing intent of the two figures, the palace maids collapsed on the spot, and Jeok Wigang boldly entered inside.
And when he threw open the last door, hot air rushed out beyond the door.
People who had been curious about what was happening inside crowded together and gathered in front of the door.
And they were left speechless seeing the shocking scene unfolding before their eyes.
Noble Consort Man was naked, lost in pleasure with a dreamy expression in the arms of several men.
The scholars were outraged at the sight of them enjoying themselves without even knowing people had arrived.
“What are you doing in the sacred palace right now!”
At the sudden shout, the men were startled and turned around.
At the door, the Golden Guards were surrounding the room with frightening faces.
“What? We were just enjoying ourselves.”
Noble Consort Man stood up from her position with an annoyed face, not even covering her naked body.
“Taegam Son. What is the meaning of this?”
Son Gang said nothing.
“What are you doing? You’re ending your life.”
When Jeok Wigang stepped forward and spoke, Noble Consort Man frowned and asked.
“Who are you again?”
“Cabinet Grand Scholar.”
“Why is a Cabinet Grand Scholar here?”
“More importantly, why don’t you put on some clothes? It’s unsightly.”
At the word unsightly, Noble Consort Man’s face twisted hideously.
Then she soon relaxed her expression and struck a seductive pose.
“What part of my body is unsightly?”
“Ugh!”
When Jeok Wigang pretended to vomit, laughter burst out from behind.
Thinking she was being mocked, Noble Consort Man’s face turned red with anger.
“Taegam Son! What are you doing right now? Quickly cut off that damn bastard’s head!”
Son Gang bowed his head to Jeok Wigang and said.
“Shall I arrest her?”
Then Ye Yahyeon, who was beside him, stepped forward.
“What are you talking about. This is Golden Guards business.”
“Since I started this matter, isn’t it right that I clean it up?”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Noble Consort Man sensed that something was wrong with the situation.
Noble Consort Man stepped backward.
Jeok Wigang looked at the Hanlin Academy Scholars and asked.
“Now, this is that woman’s true nature. And the child you’re trying to place as Crown Prince is also the seed of one of those men over there, not His Majesty’s bloodline.”
The Scholars were shocked by Jeok Wigang’s words.
“If you still want to defend Noble Consort Man after this, we will arrest you as accomplices as well.”
“N-no!”
“There’s no way we’d defend such a crazy woman!”
“Ugh! I need to go home right now and wash my eyes!”
The scholars were strongly drawing a line between themselves and Noble Consort Man, fearing that disadvantages might come to them.
Jeok Wigang spoke to Ye Yahyeon.
“Arrest them all.”
“Yes!”
As the Golden Guards approached, Noble Consort Man struggled desperately.
“Don’t come! Don’t come! My son will be the next emperor of this country! Do you think you’ll be safe later after doing this to me! Taegam Son! You don’t believe that damned bastard’s words, do you? Besides, all of this was entirely your doing…”
The moment she was about to say something.
Son Gang’s sword moved.
Slash-.
At the same time, Noble Consort Man’s neck was severed and her face, eyes wide open as if feeling wronged, fell to the ground.
Thud-.
Her naked body collapsed to the ground and the scholars were so shocked they froze in terror.
“I will pay for my sins myself.”
Son Gang stabbed himself with the sword he had used to cut down Noble Consort Man.
Stab-.
And he collapsed right there.
Jeok Wigang spoke to Ye Yahyeon.
“Arrest all those bastards over there, and dispose of the bodies of Noble Consort Man and Taegam here.”
