Chapter 122

• YI SUN'S POV
• It was like a stroke of lightning, the news. My beloved son Yi Hwan was barely saved from an assassination bid against him, and it was none other than Minister Jang's handiwork. I seethed with anger. Ambitious, I knew Minister Jang to be, but such an open attempt on my son's life was too much to swallow.
• The flames of anger did flicker inside me as I walked up and down the length of my chamber; for the Kims had first demonstrated their loyalty and bravery when saving Yi Hwan, and now, it seemed, were about to take Eun Kyung as their daughter-in-law. Her father, Minister Hong, still had qualms, however the fly in the spider's web spun by his brother-in-law.
