Chapter 70: Midnight Escape 1
While Baek Moo-jin faced his greatest crisis since descending the mountain due to the Noh Su-ah Pill created by Jin So-hye, the official Lee Mong-yeom had already been staring out the window with a displeased expression for a full hour. Of course, outside the window lay the inn where the Young Princess and Baek Moo-jin were staying. Knowing the Young Princess was preparing something for Baek Moo-jin made it difficult to interfere.
At that moment, a youthful voice called out from outside.
“Elder Wu, did you call?”
“Come in.”
When Yi Mongyeom replied indifferently, Wei Zhihou, whom Baek Moo-jin had sent on an errand to the Sunghwa Palace in the past, appeared from outside.
Lee Mong-yeom beckoned with a gesture, calling Wei Zhihou closer.
“Jihou, come closer.”
“Yes, Elder.”
As Wei Zhihou approached with a tense expression, Lee Mong-yeom spoke in a solemn tone.
“I must entrust you with a crucial mission. There’s no one else. You’re the only one who can do it.”
Wee Jihoo responded with a look of deep gratitude at Lee Mongyeom’s words.
“Yes, Elder U-sa. I will obey your command.”
As if recalling something from his journey, Wei Zhihou suddenly dropped to one knee and gazed at Yi Mongyeom. Yi Mongyeom nodded and said.
“Across the street at the inn, your beloved Lady Sogung and Baek Mujin, the head of the Baek family, who came to see her, are staying.”
Wei Zhihou nodded solemnly.
