After eliminating the Grand councillor, Ki Yang had hoped to have things her way. But she has to meet with new resistance. She is from Goryeo & she is dreaming of being the Empress of the Yuen clan.
The Emperor takes up a new Empress against his will. He has to follow his mother’s advice. The new councillor, Baekan has promoted his niece so that his power in the imperial palace will remain & increase.
What does Taltal think of this move is unknown. Does he approve of his uncle? But he had warned Ki that his uncle will not like that three new posts are equivalent to the post of Baekan.
The two princes in the palace are Ki’s so any one becoming the crown prince is her victory. I had hoped for a positive end but I have this sinking feeling now. In real life also there is no black or white, but in a drama we do expect that greys don’t exist!
The Grand councillor’s secret fund is yet to be found in the abandoned tin mine. All have their eyes there to increase their power!
