Episode 161. Who the hell brainwashed the Emperor? (2)
“Hoo~. Then, can Seon do open surgery now?”
“Simple open surgery can be performed.”
“Heo Heo Seon became your disciple and surpassed me in a few years.”
“How can you make the doctor comfortable with only having an open surgery...”
The painter exchanged small talk with Pyeon-won, observing the surroundings.
‘They say there are many ears in the imperial palace..... They don’t know how to disappear.’
The fireman wanted to bring out the business that had called Pyeonwon separately, but he couldn’t because he had ears to hear.
The painter couldn’t help but say what he wanted to say, and after talking about the events of the past, other minor illnesses, and the emperor’s illness, he returned to Jo Deung’s office.
* * *
‘Should we find out who played the prank on the emperor?’
The painter couldn’t help but worry.
If the opponent is not the emperor and there are only ten people around, he will find out right away, but this is an opponent who can really run away if he is wrong. That’s why I couldn’t easily make up my mind.
‘Can I create a chance to be alone with the emperor? I don’t think it’s going to be easy.....’
Reason is shouting to just pretend I don’t know, but my conscience keeps stabbing me in the chest.
“I am a proud grandson. What are you so worried about?”
At that time, Jo Deung returned to his office, found the fireman, and approached him to talk to him.
Jojo hurriedly left at the call of Josung, so only the fireman was in the office.
The painter actually knew that if he stayed here, he would meet Jo Deung.
It was a little awkward to meet without Jojo, but what I was waiting for was that the conclusion of the inner conflict had already been reached to some extent.
The painter intended to create time to be alone with the emperor through the lighting.
“Ah, I was thinking about Your Majesty’s illness.”
“Didn’t you say that you had the same opinion as the member of the side earlier?”
“The opinion is the same... but the treatment method is different.”
“You mean you can treat it in some other way?”
“yes.”
“Ho-! I’m interested in this, but if you can get better results than Senator Pyeon’s... that’s good for Your Majesty.”
Jo Deung tried to get the words out of something.
In Jo Deung’s office, there were subordinate eunuchs and Jo Jo’s lieutenants.
“Even if I want to be treated, I am a little reluctant because I think it will be an act of overreach because Congressman Pyeon is there. Besides, my treatment has a lot of slander, so I shouldn’t even have people around... I’m worried about that too.”
“The treatment itself seems to be no problem since the convenience doctor also acknowledges you, but it doesn’t work even if there are people around. What do you mean?”
“My treatment requires a lot of mental focus. So if you have someone around you, you can easily make mistakes.”
“hmm! Come to think of it, even when he operated on Hwang Wan, he said he couldn’t even see his family.”
“yes.”
Jo Deung thought about it for a while, then got up from his seat.
“I’ll discuss it for a while, so wait.”
“yes.”
Jo-deung, who went outside, returned after about an hour or so.
“If I let you heal His Majesty, will the oblate also enter?”
“no. I intend to go in alone.”
“Unfortunately, as a result of discussions with the officials, it was concluded that it would not be possible without observers.”
The fireman had expected this to happen.
“is it so. I can’t help it.”
“Is it really bad if there are observers?”
“yes.”
As soon as the painter answered, Jo Deung nodded.
“It’s a pity.”
“You cheeky bastard.....”
Jo Deung snorted after leaving the Empress Dowager.
In fact, among the eunuchs now called Ten Sangsi, there was no one who did not pass through his hands.
Zhang Yang, his younger sister, was also educated by Jo Deung when he first became an official.
“You dare to insult me, forgetting the grace that raised you. I need to flatten my nose very much this time.”
Jo Deung had the idea of making Yang Yang the crown prince without fail.
At the same time, Jojo also fell into the idea that he should make the emperor depend on the painter by giving him a higher official position and giving more power to the painter.
‘Come to think of it, it’s good that the councilor is really good. The trust I’ve barely earned over several decades can be easily obtained with just one treatment.’
The reason Jo Deung came out of The Empress Dowager was to meet with the fireman and make arrangements in advance.
After waiting for a while at the south gate, I saw a fireman coming with a backpack.
“Boo.”
When Jo Deung called, the fireman widened his eyes as if slightly startled.
“What is Grandpa up to here?”
“I came to meet you because I have something to tell you. Didn’t you bring the disciples?”
“No, because it is a treatment that does not require disciples.”
“Yeah, anyway, it’s been a while until Empress Dowager, so let’s walk and talk.”
“yes.”
When Jo Deung nodded, several military officers surrounded the two and prevented people from approaching.
Jo Deung made a small voice that only the fireman could hear.
“All the eunuchs have come to know that the Empress Dowager allowed you to treat Her Majesty.”
“I thought so. So, are you not able to cure it?”
“Jangyang was against it, but the Empress Dowager and I agreed to treat it.”
“is it so. Fortunately, the.”
“By the way. There are things I don’t know.”
Jo Deung nodded for a moment, then continued.
“Jangyang was actually my person. One word from me would have killed me. But why are you so against it these days... You’ve become so arrogant.”
“Are the queens the protagonists who oppose them?”
“I see. I don’t know why. I’m sure he has some ulterior motive... but I don’t know.”
The painter calmly collected his thoughts.
‘It’s on the same side... but is it a little different? Or is it an internal struggle? Hypnosis and brainwashing... is this unrelated? Or do you pretend not to know? Oh, I’m confused.’
The fireman’s lights looked different, but he didn’t let down his guard. In any case, there had to be solid evidence to dispel any suspicion.
“Anyway, since you decided to treat it, treat it well... Be kind to His Majesty during the treatment.”
“yes? Are you warm?”
“It means don’t be cocky like you do to me.”
“Oh, when else do you think I was rude to my grandfather?”
“Yes, do not. You must be good to His Majesty. Anyway, a patient always has a good feeling for the doctor who treats him, so if you do well and the relationship improves, it won’t be bad.”
“I will treat hard and do it when the opportunity arises.”
“As for the time, I told the Empress Dowager to give it plenty, so don’t worry.”
“yes.”
It was difficult to understand Jo Deung’s true intentions, but he felt that he was not an actor and he was gradually getting away from brainwashing.
‘Then... the other side? Let’s not have too much prejudice.’
After a long walk, when we arrived at Empress Dowager Hall, not only the eunuchs but also the empress and general Ha Jin had already arrived.
‘Something is happening in the imperial palace. Is it natural that you’re treating the emperor?’
The painter greeted many people one by one, and finally greeted Zhang Yang and entered the Empress Dowager’s quarters.
‘Come to think of it, Zhang Gak is also the Jang family, and Jang Yang is also the Jang family. Could it be... not family or relatives? Hey, what am I thinking right now?’
The painter shook his head at the sudden connection, but the flower of doubt bloomed even more.
