The Empress Dowager was ruthless enough to personally fc152a8444 ensure the stud horse spread its seed. The Crown Prince 7e30f47e1d wouldn’t be spared. If Yoongeon lost to her, the Crown 2e739c8e5a Prince and Cheongwolmok’s fate were uncertain.7d4f6961ba4d0dbf85f9

For the past year, 1caa9a2233 Yoongeon had been weeding e5a26306b4 them out. For every one of his 2624e737c8 people, three of hers died. Yet her f6a0b79f23 numbers didn’t 8b4528a811 dwindle. Killing a 26f5246148 few didn’t f2b245984e change the e14852f35f situation.c002f28e5e4a2b3f547a
