Congressman, Live Again - Episode 255
Episode 255
The older sister, who was not good at expressing herself, and the younger brother, who was not good at expressing himself, had a conversation for the first time..
It was a shout mixed with swearing..
Although the only swear words they could utter were 'idiot' and 'idiot', they expressed their feelings for a long time..
‘There was an arranged marriage involved..’
The Admiral's decision was as follows:.
While the older sister becomes one of the six ministers and pursues a career in government, the younger brother marries a foreigner for the sake of the family..
Going to a faraway country to marry someone whose face and personality you don't know..
After an arranged marriage like that, you have to become a bridge for your family and constantly live for the empire..
“Didn’t your father come like that too?!”
“okay. My mother cared dearly for my father, a foreigner. But, do you too? So-ah, will you care for me that much too??”
There are cases where people get along harmoniously even after an arranged marriage, but no one knows that in most cases, this is not the case..
“Father still communicated, So-ah. The conversation made sense. But this time, the culture is different and the writing is different. How are you going to go to Mallita where you don't know anyone?.”
“is it so. It must be difficult. But that's no reason for her to die..”
“There was only one seat, and if someone had to go... … I should have gone instead. Soya.”
“My grandfather did not allow it. Because everyone knew from her childhood how outstanding her older sister was.!”
Han Yi-jeong answered calmly..
“So I will die. If you use illness as an excuse to die as naturally as possible, then…….”
“……Then how should I live?!”
At that moment, Han Yi-jeong and Jin Cheon-hee's eyes met..
She glanced out the door at Jin Cheonhee with a confused expression..
Jin Cheon-hee went out to the quiet crowd..
Grumbling-
the door is closed.
Crying and shouting rang out repeatedly inside..
‘Master said you are young. It's a choice you can make because you're young..’
The older sister who wants to prevent the marriage even at the cost of her life, and the younger brother who wants to save the older sister..
Is the taste of power really this bitter?.
Just like the tea we drank at the meeting today.
‘This is something the Uigakju had to consider..’
Humans are creatures of emotion, and no matter how well we draw lines to separate them, there are some things that are impossible..
Wouldn't it be better to wait until the two sisters come to a conclusion?.
But… … Then a scream rang out..
“sister! Sister!”
When Jin Cheon-hee hurriedly opened the door and ran to the sound of calling for a doctor, she saw that her sister, Han I-jeong, had suddenly fainted from extreme dizziness..
‘okay. Illness doesn't wait for me.’
Even at this moment, the time bomb in my brain is still ticking..
It's like you don't know about human circumstances..
indifferently.
* * *
Normally, Jin Cheon-hee would just wait for the results since she would have even talked to the guardian who came with the patient..
However, if the reason for not undergoing surgery is not simply because of concerns about aftereffects or surgical risks, but because of the purpose of suicide due to the arranged marriage of the younger brother,…….
‘Oh, I don't like it..’
It can't be helped that my foolishness as a member of the National Assembly continues to spread..
“Hmm. Immigrants. It's true that people are psychologically repulsive towards people of other ethnic groups..”
There is no need to go to the extent of racial discrimination..
In this day and age, people discriminate just because they have different last names in one village..
“Where is the place for arranged marriages??”
“I understand that the place where marriage talks have been taking place recently is a small country beyond Namman. The second prince is famous for being very debauched and violent..”
“No way, that second prince……?”
“That's right.”
It's ruined.
So, it was natural for my sister to want to stop her, even if it meant committing suicide..
After hearing the story roughly, it is said that among the three princes, the third is the only one who is sane..
“……But the country is running well.?”
“Well, I'm not a madman who beats people's necks every day. Even if it is a small country, it can somehow be maintained as long as its geography, resources, and population can be restored. Of course, the current emperor's policy is to strengthen the empire rather than expand it..”
“Still, since the Admiral Granddaughter loves his granddaughter, wouldn't he want to marry the third??”
There is a second best option, the third prince, but you probably don't want to send your granddaughter to a guy who beats people up..
“I don't know that part.”
Master quickly wrote something in the letter..
When conveying important information using ciphertext consisting of dots and lines rather than Chinese characters, it is divided like this..
Because he interacts with many groups, he uses multiple ciphertexts instead of just one ciphertext, so even Jin Cheonhee does not know how to solve all the ciphers..
This is because the information that Master shares with Jin Cheonhee is still only partial..
“what. Do you know? Perhaps the Admiral's office may be fully aware of this situation and may have his own plan in mind..”
“It's difficult.”
I would like to secretly confront the third person in advance, but Jin Cheon-hee is a member of the National Assembly and not an old man..
“what… … Your expression is so disgusting, let me say this as a teacher. This kind of thing is bound to take care of itself if you think good thoughts and eat good things..”
Is there any chance that this will work out well?.
The teacher chuckled as the disciple's expression did not calm down..
I finished writing the password, sent the telegram, and got up..
“I think I can talk about it..”
“Master?”
“Hahaha, yes. So don't worry too much.”
Is there a way to solve this situation??
* * *
Master leisurely walked to Han Yi-jeong’s hospital room..
When asked if she could come in, Han Yi-jeong hesitated for a while before opening her mouth..
“Please come in.”
Grumbling-
When I went inside, my younger sister Han So-jeong's eyes were swollen..
As if embarrassed by my disheveled face, I turned around, wiped my face with my sleeve, and ran outside..
‘Looks like they were fighting the whole time.’
No matter how much I wiped my eyes with my sleeve, the tears wouldn't stop, so I ran out to calm them down..
Rather, her sister's expression became calm, indicating that she had completely accepted death..
Before Master could speak, my older sister Han Yi-jeong spoke first..
“There is no need to show your courtesy. it's okay. that… … I'm just sorry because I won't be receiving treatment..”
“Are you willing to accept death??”
“yes… … I'd like to. If my grandfather finds out, he will force me to destroy it, so I have to be prepared to commit suicide at that time..”
She may be an adult in this era, but in Jin Cheon-hee's opinion, she is still in her late teens..
It wasn't something a child in his late teens would tell. But his expression was extremely stern..
Baek Lin Eui-seon laughed bitterly..
“I'm speaking as a senior who accepted death a few years ago, but life as a terminally ill person isn't that fun..”
“it's okay.”
“Even if I ate rice, I couldn't taste it. Because the end is in sight anyway..”
“That's okay too.”
“No matter what book I read, I become a little blind..”
“I've never liked reading books. She simply did it out of a sense of duty as her eldest daughter. it's okay.”
“It is said that pear flowers are so beautiful in the patronage of Admiral Tae-gam. It is said that every May, it blooms white and the scenery is spectacular. I also heard a rumor that my two granddaughters particularly enjoy walking that path..”
“……It's okay since we won't be able to walk together anymore anyway..”
“…….”
Master said no more.
He just smiled faintly.
It was a teacher who once lived a terminally ill life..
It was a smile given to a child who was trying to walk the same terminally ill child..
“Waiting for the end is so boring.”
“That's strange. I know it will end anyway, but it's boring.?”
“yes. A life conscious of the end is always boring. One minute will be like 10 days. If you live like that, you will soon be older than your age..”
“……I am okay.”
“You already sound old..”
Han Yi-jeong closes her eyes at Zhuge Lin’s words..
A drop of thought flows out from under my closed eyelids..
It's like an obsession in life that we naturally have as humans..
Finally, the teacher said.
“What would you do if you could walk that pear blossom road together again??”
“yes……?”
“If I could walk that pear blossom road with my younger brother again. However, if the road is not an easy one.”
Han Yi-jeong couldn't figure out what that meant, so she just rolled her black eyes..
The Master spoke to the young man who was not yet terminally ill..
“Can you swallow poison? Can you get blood on your hands??”
After saying that, he handed her a note folded four times..
There was a stamp on the corner of the note, but it was not visible from Jin Cheon-hee's seat..
“You are my grandfather..”
“Good things always fade away easily. What remains at the end are always poisonous species. In that sense, my grandfather was once a good man, but now he has become a vassal of the imperial palace..”
what does that mean.
She clutched the letter tightly with trembling hands..
Zegalin said.
“Open it and you will walk the same path as your grandfather. However, you will survive. Because poisonous things always survive for a long time..”
Master's eyes softened..
“You decide. Either die good or live bad. It's not a big decision. If you survive, you will worry more often than what you will eat in the future..”
She worries and worries again..
“…….”
Grumpy-
The crumpled letter screams in my hand..
It was also the moan of innocence left in young Han Yi-jeong..
“Youth is good. Purity is also a good thing.”
The sound of Master's laughter was like the breathing of a cold-blooded animal..
“…….”
In the end, Han Yi-jeong couldn't say 'it's okay' just this time..
She eventually opened the letter.
What fills the small blank sheet of paper is an array of dots and lines..
It was a password that Jin Cheon-hee did not know..
yet… … Han Yi-jeong's expression, who had been reading it for a while, was as crumpled as the letter..
She curled up and moaned..
“Wow… … Ugh…….”
Anger and devastation, but at the same time determination and determination..
“……grandfather… … how… … Ugh……!”
Her moans tasted like a lump of mud mixed with joy and sorrow..
Finally, Han Yi-jeong, who had been exhaling for a long time, answered in a voice that was bloodless..
“……Breaking it… … Please destroy it as quickly as possible.”
Master answered those words with a faint sneer..
“I told you so. Life with a terminally ill child is not fun. A happy life awaits you now..”
“Baekrin’s line… … what are you…….”
Instead of answering, Master bowed deeply to her..
“Congratulations on becoming Your Majesty's next concubine..”
There was no laughter in his voice like before, but rather it was even solemn..
“…….”
Han Yi-jeong looks at Zhuge Lin wordlessly with pitch-black eyes..
Eventually, the last remaining innocence turned into a dead end and flowed down her cheeks..
“……The teachings of my grandfather and Baekrin Eui-seon. I will never forget this for the rest of my life..”
She stood up and handed Zhugelin a handshake..
Strangely enough, the venom that was said to be thankful was seeped into it..
It wasn't hostile, but it wasn't friendly either..
In black and white, the two showed respect to each other..
It was a very strange scene in Jin Cheon-hee's opinion..
