The Secret Night at Unyeon Palace (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Minister Yi Pan Gu Seung Ho and Prince Seongwon visited Eunwol Pavilion together.
Though Gu Seung Ho was his father-in-law, he and Prince Seongwon were as incompatible as oil and water—so much so that he seemed to resent the relationship.
Prince Seongwon had never once spoken of his father-in-law, and whenever the topic did come up, his expression would instantly change.
Minister Yi Pan also held Prince Seongwon in low regard.
From Gu Seung Ho’s perspective—as someone who had hoped to place his daughter in the King’s harem—Prince Seongwon, who held no real power, was hardly satisfactory.
Though he had reluctantly accepted him as a son-in-law under pressure from Chief State Councillor Song Mun Sik, he still appeared unable to let go of his lingering hopes for his daughter’s harem position.
Yet, these two men had come together to Eunwol Pavilion.
“Where is everyone else?”
“At first, only the two of them arrived, but just moments ago, the Prime Minister also came. Since it seemed to be an important discussion, all the attendants were sent out. One child who was bringing in tea overheard something about needing to prepare a contingency plan—could that ‘contingency’ possibly refer to the Royal Noble Consort’s childbirth?”
“That must be it. What other reason would bring all three of them together? They don’t know I’m here, do they?”
“Of course not—please don’t worry. Then, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll take my leave now.”
So Hyang bowed her head and quietly exited. Once the door closed, Woo Seop set down his wine cup and asked,
“Do you trust His Excellency Prince Seongwon?”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s just a feeling. Who exactly is Minister Yi Pan? He’s the Prime Minister’s closest confidant. And yet, he’s Prince Seongwon’s father-in-law—can you honestly trust him completely?”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. 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.
