Chapter 39
Food for Thought!
Black Ho narrowed his eyes at the sight of me tying the note around Jeon Seo-gu’s ankle as he flapped his wings.
“Why do you suddenly need a messenger?”
“Because I have suspicious circumstances and can’t leave it alone?”
“Are you suspicious of …… Mrs. Tang?”
“Yes.”
“We can’t be sure of anything yet.”
“So, suspicion, not certainty, suspicion.”
I didn’t feel the need to respond to that, but I’ll say it anyway, because Black Ho seemed worried that my suspicions were making a big deal out of things.
“It’s better to confirm a suspicion than to leave it as a suspicion, and it’s better to confirm it with your own two eyes than to let it go unchecked, or else you’ll be nervous about doing something.”
They say to knock on a stone bridge before you cross it. My greatest weaknesses now were Walli and my mother, Mrs. Baek, and if the seeds of unrest I had left in the South Palace reached them, I would fall apart.
“I’m afraid that ……will only make them more vigilant.”
“I wrote so hard not to. Is this how it’s supposed to be?”
The person who should have received this note was Namgung Yeoul. There was only one person I could trust in the Southern Palace, Master, and that was Nan Gongyue.
“…… million days.”
I raised my head at Black Lake’s words.
“What if Mrs. Tang is indeed plotting this, or if she is doing it out of her own greed?”
“What can I do.”
What more could I say.
“Show her who she’s dealing with.”
