The Empress Dowager was c20458ca05 ruthless enough to personally 91ada4afea ensure the stud horse dd09a53195 spread its seed. The Crown 718da5f945 Prince wouldn’t dc233e1e0f be spared. If Yoongeon lost to her, the Crown 17909d50c6 Prince and Cheongwolmok’s fate were uncertain.a78ed69ee3bf4ca8f2b9

Calling the royal family the 55972f8ab8 lesser evil showed how much 000face1eb Queen Han had suffered.e42b0c717e32d3378ab4

Yoongeon pondered. He’d struggled to 472e24f985 recruit the Empress b6af475ffb Dowager’s people. Having spent so much 231e46426a time on the battlefield, d548ec1e05 the palace was filled ca2a419210 with her people.3edbf1c41bde9a82a8a3

For the past year, Yoongeon 52f058c780 had been weeding them out. For every one 2c0f9294b0 of his people, 1d05f7a4e8 three of hers 9a7fc62e06 died. Yet her 4cb0c8a4e8 numbers didn’t f5e3cb5a42 dwindle. Killing a few didn’t 0c4524397b change the situation.92b8db964e8411d71d64
