Chapter 87
Chapter 87
Last week, in episode 4 of The Royal Physician, Yangnyeong Daegun, who enjoyed hunting, and Heo Yu-seon, who disliked him, appeared.
And then, the preview that everyone was waiting for came out.
The back of Heo Yu-seon, who was lying face down, was shown on the screen.
[Lift your head.]
Boom- boom- the drums sounded.
[Next Wednesday, episode 5 of The Royal Physician, Grand Prince Seongnyeong appears!]
[Actor Lee Seo-jun, his first drama appearance!]
[Not much time left!]
-How many times did I hear ‘lift your head’?
-As soon as Friday came, I wished it was Wednesday already.
“It’s starting! Seo-jun!”
“Yeah.”
Usually, seo-jun went to bed early and watched The Royal Physician on VOD or reruns, but today he decided to watch it with his mom and dad.
The family sat side by side on the sofa and turned on the KBC channel. The new smartphone ad was on. After that, there were car and refrigerator ads.
“Finally, seo-jun is in the drama.”
“Mom, I thought you didn’t show up because you didn’t show me.”
“Hahaha.”
Lee Min-jun and Seo-jun laughed at Seo Eun-hye’s joke. That joke was popular on the internet.
They said he only used his name for publicity, or did he even film, or how well did he film that he didn’t show up, and everyone was grinding their teeth.
“Ah, it’s starting.”
At Lee Min-jun’s words, the family’s eyes turned to the television.
Boom-boom- the drums sounded and the OST played.
“Heo Uigwan, today you will go to Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s residence.”
“Yes.”
Heo Yu-seon, who had experienced all three Daeguns, chungnyeong, hyoryeong, and Yangnyeong, finally went to Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s residence. He had to stay there for three days and then go back to Chungnyeong Daegun’s residence.
He was plotting a conspiracy, trying to implicate Heo Dae-gam in a treason. He saw the Daeguns in his sight.
Wouldn’t it be easier to deal with them than the king? He thought this might be a more certain way than the king, who was worried about his children after the death of Princess Gyeongan.
Heo Yu-seon moved his feet. The palaces were similar, but the atmosphere was very different depending on the owner.
It smelled like ink in Chungnyeong Daegun’s residence, it smelled like incense in Hyoryeong Daegun’s residence, and it was free-spirited in Yangnyeong Daegun’s residence.
And the cute Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s residence.
The old Uigwan and Sanggung who took care of the young Grand Prince Seongnyeong greeted Heo Yu-seon. They were the ones who were responsible for the health of the person they served.
“Daegunmama, the Uigwan has arrived.”
“Let him in.”
Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s voice came out.
-A different line! But it’s short!
The door opened. Heo Yu-seon bowed his head and touched his forehead to the floor in front of Grand Prince Seongnyeong. The camera showed Heo Yu-seon lying down.
-He’s coming! He’s coming!
-He’ll really show up, right?!
“Lift your head.”
A gentle child’s voice was heard. Heo Yu-seon’s head moved. Then, the screen changed.
The yellow floor was shown on the screen.
It seemed like the eyelids closed and opened, the screen darkened and brightened.
And then the screen moved slowly.
Boom-
The drums hit the viewers’ hearts.
Boom-
The camera slowly rose.
The yellow floor and the wooden table came into the screen.
Boom- boom-
The drums sounded.
The camera moved with Heo Yu-seon’s eyes. Slowly, very slowly.
The wooden table and the covered book on the wooden table were seen. The two small hands neatly placed on the book were also seen.
Boom-boom- boom-boom-!
With the drums, people’s hearts started to beat.
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-!
No one could take their eyes off the screen. Lee Seo-jun’s face didn’t even show up, but somehow their chests thumped.
The flow of the air was different. The television inside and outside were not distinguished. Everyone closed their mouths and looked at the screen.
Like Heo Yu-seon, who was lifting his head, their eyes went up. It was a short time to lift his head, but it felt long to the viewers.
At that moment, the fast drums stopped.
In the quiet silence, as if looking up from below, Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s face appeared on the screen.
Thump!
A loud drum sound was heard as if the heart sank.
There was a dignified child smiling kindly.
“Wow.”
Suddenly, seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun felt like they saw a light shining behind Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s back.
They were not the only ones. The people who were affected by the ability of [(Sun)The Young Lion King’s Dignity] felt the dignity expressed by the light.
-Halo? Didn’t Lee Seo-jun have a light behind him just now?
=?? I didn’t see that.
=I think I saw it!
“The Royal Physician Uigwan, heo Yu-seon.”
For a moment, the screen showed Grand Prince Seongnyeong and Heo Yu-seon looking at each other.
Soon, Grand Prince Seongnyeong, who was sitting politely, smiled and jumped up from his seat.
“Then let’s go ride a horse!”
“…Yes?”
“Abamama said you have to take the Uigwan with you if you want to ride a horse!”
Where did his polite appearance go, Grand Prince Seongnyeong left the room excitedly. Heo Yu-seon, who had a puzzled face, looked at him and followed him quickly.
The Uigwan and Sanggung who took care of Grand Prince Seongnyeong followed them as if they were used to it.
Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun smiled and asked Seo-jun, who was cute like Grand Prince Seongnyeong.
“Seo-jun, did you ride a horse?”
“Yeah! But it was different from the riding club, I could only film the shooting scene.”
“I see. There are a lot of teachers who help and hold the horse at the riding club, but the shooting site is hard.”
“But it was fun to ride a horse after a long time. I was surprised that everyone rode so well!”
It was obvious even without seeing.
They rode well.
They rode well.
They only heard the story, but not many people saw it.
Everyone was surprised by Seo-jun’s skillful riding. But they didn’t let Seo-jun ride alone for safety. Lee Min-jun asked.
“Shall we go riding this week?”
“Yeah!”
Grand Prince Seongnyeong never stayed still. He did everything diligently. He rode a horse, played, and studied hard. He greeted the officials who passed by brightly and went to play at other Daeguns’ residences.
Heo Yu-seon felt like he walked around almost twice as much as when he was with the three Daeguns.
He seemed to have met the king and the queen a lot in three days.
They laughed and chatted, sharing stories of what they did today. They looked no different from any other family.
It was a strange sight for Heo Yu-seon, who was not born in a normal house. After a long and exhausting three-day shift, his master Yang Hongdal greeted him with a smile.
“You worked hard.”
“…Prince Seongnyeong seems very lively.”
“He didn’t get to do many things when he was younger, because of His Majesty’s order to worry about his mother’s health.”
Yang Hongdal, who had been in the palace for a long time, brought up Prince Seongnyeong’s story, but Heo Yu-seon only half-listened.
Wouldn’t they be more angry if he was such a precious child?
Heo Yu-seon’s thoughts always ended with revenge against Heo Dae-gam, no matter where they started.
[Episode 5 of The Royal Physician, ratings 28%!]
[Actor Lee Seo-jun, makes his appearance! Creates an aura even without a halo!]
[But he’s still a young prince. A cute smile for his dad!]
-His first appearance was “I’m the prince of Joseon!” lol
-My brain made a halo for him lol
-So cute lol Let’s go learn Korean! Heo Yu-seon’s expression = my expression
-This is pitiful.
-Heo Yu-seon is like a poisoner. He thinks of killing when he meets the cute Prince Seongnyeong.
KBC’s fusion historical drama, the Royal Physician, was a hot topic.
There was no episode that wasn’t talked about, from the first one to now.
Especially, everyone loved the harmonious atmosphere of the Joseon royal family.
And they couldn’t help but like Prince Seongnyeong, who was at the center of it.
He shot arrows and rode horses with Prince Chungnyeong, went out to play in the streets with Prince Yangnyeong, and visited a temple with Prince Hyoryeong. He also had a friendly conversation with King Taejong and the Queen. He was very adorable.
Heo Yu-seon was always by his side.
The viewers were also pleased with Heo Yu-seon’s change of heart.
Whenever he met Heo Dae-gam and his son in the palace, he growled with a fierce face, and he suffered from accidents and work everywhere. But when he met Prince Seongnyeong, his face relaxed. Everyone smiled at his expression.
He almost used Prince Seongnyeong as a means of revenge against Heo Dae-gam, but as he followed the lively prince and took care of him one by one, he became attached to him.
It showed very well.
-Heo Yu-seon… He’s like me, suffering from my boss. I wish I had someone like Prince Seongnyeong to heal me.
-The royal family is so relaxed, but the people below are working hard. There’s no difference here or there.
-I’m healing by watching Prince Seongnyeongㅠ
-Glad Heo Yu-seon changed his mind!
They went out to the mountain near the palace again today. They enjoyed the scenery of the mountain and climbed it with Prince Seongnyeong and Heo Yu-seon.
Prince Seongnyeong and his guards were fine, but Heo Yu-seon was sweating profusely as he climbed the mountain.
“Huff. Huff. Ma, mama. Please go slower.”
“Hahaha. You need to exercise more, heo Uigwan.”
“Mama will live a long time.”
“Of course. I have to live long and see Heo Uigwan get married. When a child is born, I hope Heo Uigwan’s child and my child will get along well!”
Prince Seongnyeong spoke of the future with a bright smile.
Boom- boom- A heavy drum sound rang out.
Heo Yu-seon opened his mouth with a faint smile, catching his breath. At this moment, he forgot everything. Heo Dae-gam, his wife, his mother. All of them.
“Haha. Then I’ll have to teach my child to be a doctor.”
Heo Yu-seon imagined a future he had never dreamed of. He felt his heart swell with happiness at the thought of the future.
He forgot the anger against Heo Dae-gam, the revenge he had risked his life for. If he devoted his loyalty to this person, wouldn’t he have a very happy life?
Prince Seongnyeong’s small back, looking at the palace, was reassuring.
Heo Yu-seon’s eyes turned to the palace in front of Prince Seongnyeong. His eyes sharpened like a wolf hunting prey.
“Uh. It’s cold. Heo Uigwan, let’s go down quickly.”
“Yes. Mama.”
The weather got colder and winter was approaching.
[KBC’s fusion historical drama, the Royal Physician, soaring ratings!]
[Heo Yu-seon gave up his revenge? What’s his next move?]
[Prince Seongnyeong’s day, the cold February!]
-ㅠㅠ He’s talking so brightly, does he have to die?ㅠ
-I guess I got attached to him while watching the dramaㅠ At first, he was just cute, but now I feel sad whenever Prince Seongnyeong comes out smilingㅠ I wish Heo Uigwan cured his illnessㅠ
-Heo Yu-seon… He’s finally happy.
-Ah… Really… The last line about being cold gets me.
-But at the end, heo Yu-seon’s look at the palace is not good, right?
=??? Is it?
***
Seo-jun spread the books on the floor. He was busy choosing abilities to fake his death.
“Death.”
He looked around the library of life. To put it nicely, it was a library of life, but it was a story of so much death.
The monsters who had to die at a young age.
The monsters who died because they were weak.
And the monsters who died peacefully after living their lives.
He couldn’t even guess the number of books here.
There were many books in the open library, but there were also many closed libraries. Seo-jun had experienced this much death.
“The library of death is a bit creepy…”
Seo-jun, who had ended his worries about life and death a long time ago, spoke calmly and chose his abilities.
“When people die, they stop breathing, their body temperature drops, and their heart stops. I can stop my heart, but that would be a bit hard when I wake up. Then let’s do this!”
[(Good)Blue Slime’s Core-Low Grade]
It’s the core of a blue slime.
The core of a slime that uses ice as a means of attack is cold.
While you have the core, you have resistance to ice (low temperature).
You can control the intensity of ice (temperature).
Seo-jun, who chose [(Good)Blue Slime’s Core-Low Grade], moved his eyes to the side. There was a pile of books with magic rising from them.
“If it’s death, it has to be magic!”
Seo-jun read the black books down to make a perfect act.
The books in the library of evil all had serious side effects, so he picked one life from the lowest grade abilities.
[(Evil)Skeleton Mouse’s Smell-Lowest Grade]
It’s the first skeleton that a novice black mage made.
It smells of death because of the imperfect magic.
It didn’t take long for the skeleton to become a skeleton, and it was exposed to the priest because of the unmistakable smell of death and disappeared.
“He died early and was purified by the priest, so there’s no side effect. Perfect.”
Seo-jun smiled wickedly and absorbed the two abilities into his body.
