Episode 160. Who the hell brainwashed the Emperor? (1)

When the fireman who came in with Jojo held out a small box of wood, Jo Deung opened the lid with a puzzled expression.

If it was jewelry or gold, they would have snorted, but what was inside the wooden case was a gold-plated medicine.

I put my nose close to it and sniffed it, but it didn’t smell like that peculiar smell that comes from rare elixirs.

It didn’t smell like anything, but since the person giving it was Huathai, the lantern was curious.

“What is this?”

“Listening to Bi Jeong-hu’s love for me, I also prepared a small gift with the heart of meeting my grandfather. This group is a medicine that can fill my role even if I am not nearby.”

In an instant, Joe’s eyes widened.

“A drug that can do its job even without you? What kind of fantasy is it that you can do that?”

“I can’t tell you that it’s slander, so I can’t tell you what kind of fantasy it is, but if you take it when you are sick like last time, you will be able to see a great effect.”

“If you were sick like last time, are you referring to when stones came out in your urine while going up and down the mountain?”

“yes. I told you to climb the mountain every day... Did you climb it today?”

“Keuheum I haven’t climbed yet because I’m busy with affairs today. I plan to go up later tonight.”

“Climbing a mountain is effective in preventing diseases, but it is also a policy for Bi-Jeong-Hu to live a healthy life in old age.”

“I know. But now is a very important time. So...you have to understand.”

“I understand, but illness doesn’t come from circumstances.”

“Don’t you have this medicine? If you eat this, won’t you be able to pass that time?”

Jo Deung held up the wooden box and put on a satisfied expression. But the fireman shook his head.

“You can skip that time, but you can’t skip the next one.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I gave you a lot of these medicines?”

“Eating too much is actually harmful. So even if I’m not there, I’m giving you one so that you can pass the emergency.”

Jo Deung placed the wooden bowl in his bosom.

“Come to think of it, it was said before that if a whiplash eats a lot of restorative medicine, it becomes rather poisonous, but it seems to be the same principle.”

“yes.”

“Even though you didn’t belong exclusively to the family, you’re Joe’s step-brother, so you’re my step-grandson. And the step-grandson should know how to take care of his grandfather when he is sick.”

“If Grandpa gets sick, this grandson will come running, regardless of where he is or what he is doing.”

The painter deliberately called Jo Deung a grandfather rather than a non-Jeonghu.

A smile crept across Joe’s lips.

In fact, since city doctors would treat quite a few illnesses, only major illnesses needed a fireman. In the event of a serious illness, the fireman would come while the city doctors were buying time.

While the three of them were drinking tea in a warmer atmosphere, a eunuch rushed to them and reported that the emperor had suddenly collapsed.

“what! You said His Majesty suddenly collapsed without any indication?”

“yes. You should go to the palace soon.”

“I get it.”

Jo Deung stood up and looked at the fireman.

“Let’s go, step-grandson.”

“yes. grandfather.”

“Joe is coming too.”

“yes.”

Jo Deung’s shoulders trembled as he walked ahead with his two grandchildren.

Cao Cao raised his status on the battlefield, and now how much higher will his status rise if he treats the emperor with his grandson?

The painter looked at Jo Deung’s back and soon turned his attention to guessing the emperor’s illness.

‘Well, it’s only two years and a few months, but there’s nothing wrong with having a solid background during that time. By the way, Youngje still has about two more years left to die... Are there signs already appearing?’

When the painter arrived at the royal palace following Jo Deung, a member of the city council was already laying acupuncture here and there, pointing to the pulse of the emperor lying on the bed.

“Your Majesty has collapsed! What is it?”

After entering the palace, Jo Deung grabbed one of the poets and asked in a low voice what had happened.

Siui found Jo Deung and answered in a small voice.

“As usual, after having breakfast, he was taking a walk on the road to Donghogung Palace... and suddenly collapsed.”

“Sura-san! Where is the Surasang!”

Jo Deung immediately suspected poison.

“I gave an order to the Nine men who were accepted and told them to leave it as it is.”

At that time, the painter next to him opened his mouth.

“It doesn’t seem poisonous. Looking at the condition, it seems that the body is worse than that... but it seems that it is not simply another reason.”

The city doctor turned his head to see if someone would join him, and was startled when he found the fireman.

It felt like even the emperor was watching Jo Deung. The emperor turned his head for a moment to look at the painter and opened his mouth.

“Come to think of it, I’m a bit familiar with it. Who are you?”

The fireman answered without delay.

“Your Majesty. I am the former Hwang Wan Taiwei’s disease healer.”

“ah! you were mad Did you cure me?”

“My belief was just a pulse, and the Pyeon City Council treated me.”

“is it?”

The emperor turned his head.

“What about the city council? Why did I fall?”

“You acted a little too harshly.”

“Have you been? So, did I collapse because I was sick?”

As the emperor tilted his head, Pyeonwon hurriedly opened his mouth.

“I pretended to, but the more fundamental cause, as I said before, is that I consumed too much emotion...”

The painter felt quite unnatural looking at the emperor talking to Pyeonwon.

‘No matter how much he is an emperor... This is a bit strange, isn’t it? I fell down and woke up... Can you talk like it’s someone else’s business like that? You seem a bit lacking in emotion?’

Falling down should be seen as a warning from the body to the brain.

No more. Can’t stand it. Please stop.

Everyone understands the warning, worries, and studies ways to live. You can’t treat it like it’s someone else’s business.

The emperor listened to Pyeonwon’s words and looked at Jodeung, but in those eyes there was more trust than his mother or wife.

‘I was full of dignity when I was given the office of the Sheeuhsa.... What the hell happened in the meantime? It doesn’t look like a gun at all.’

He seemed like a different person, so different from when he was with Tae-wi or Eosa-daebu a few years ago.

Suddenly.

The fireman tilted his head inwardly and thought of the cause that could cause these symptoms.

‘hypnosis? Brainwashing?’

It was so absurd that the thought itself seemed ridiculous, but the meaning of the gun that had disappeared from the eyes of the emperor to that extent was a trace of someone deeply intervening in his unconscious.

This is the same tactic that Jang Gak, the leader of Taepyeong, used on the bishops.

Of course, the emperor felt traces of brainwashing beyond that level.

‘Seo, could it be that the man behind Zhang Jac could be a eunuch in the imperial palace?’

For a moment, the fireman felt dizzy, as if someone had hit him on the head with a hammer.

Bongshi, the eunuch who had been conspiring with Zhang Jiu, had already been beheaded along with about 1,000 of his followers.

‘It may not be a single seal.’

Perhaps Jo Deung, who is now babbling farts next to the emperor, could also be part of the group.

The painter felt that he had to keep his spirits up. If you don’t care, you may be treated as the same category and get involved.

The painter, who was struggling inwardly, heard Pyeon-won’s words to the emperor.

“...The fundamental cause is, as I will tell you again, that qi is weakened by too frequent radiation.”

“However, I steadily ate decoctions and food that Pyeonta recommended.”

“However, since the emotion is excreted without any accumulation, it goes beyond the limits of food and medicine. So I think it’s good to stay away from the Nines for a while.”

“Whoa~. Are you saying that the reason I collapsed was because I was too close to women?”

“I’m sorry, but it is.”

“I get it. Starting today, I’ll try to stay away from women for a while. I heard it after Joe B. For the time being, do not have women in my bed.”

“I get it. your majesty. I will take action.”

The painter saw Jo Deung slightly turn his head and meet the eyes of the other eunuchs.

‘What does that look mean?’

“By the way, do you have a different opinion about Hwa-ta and Whip-ta?”

When the emperor asked him, the painter couldn’t continue his thoughts and nodded hastily.

“no. I am of the same opinion as Whiplash.”

“Two people have the same opinion... so I have no choice but to follow them.”

“First, I’ll make a decoction to replenish my energy.”

Pyeonwon bowed his head, and the emperor nodded.

“Do it.”

After a while, the painter withdrew with Pyeon-won and secretly called Pyeon-won separately.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Member of Parliament. I was in a hurry earlier, so I couldn’t greet you properly.”

“Well, I was the same. How have you been?”

“Yes. I had a good time.”

“How is Seon?”

“Now, even if I don’t exist, one person can do their job well.”
