49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 223
So Song Taegam always has a reason whenever he stays silent.
“I Guk Sa. Why do you not answer?”
My mind went blank—completely empty. I truly couldn’t think of anything at all.
Could it be… that the Emperor knows something? Is he testing me, aware of Nan Gyun? Or is he genuinely unaware and just speaking like that?
Either way—whether he knows or doesn’t—it’s still a problem.
“I Guk Sa. You’re taking quite long to reply.”
“I beg your pardon. I’m at a loss as to how to respond to such a question about my younger sister…”
“It’s precisely because she’s your sister that I’m sending you, I Guk Sa. Still, I don’t wish to send someone who’s just given birth to Gwahyeongcheong.”
I stumbled out of the imperial chamber.
“I Guk Sa seemed troubled halfway through.”
As I stood dazed for a moment, Song Taegam approached me.
“Thank you for your concern.”
I forced a smile and bowed; Song Taegam clicked his tongue sympathetically and returned to the imperial chamber.
I entered a nearby pavilion, leaned against a tree, and spaced out for a while.
Though everything around me was pitch-dark, I felt more relief than fear.

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.

Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
