Choi bu and Im ho gwon both stood in front of the archfiend and bowed. Commander Im introduced his grievance first. "hwang sang bae ha" he began, "the princess' governess was found inside the cell talking to the condemned prisoner. we could not allow that kind of dangerous behavior to continue, so i pulled her out of the prison."
Ui min then turned to Choi Bu. Please give me an objective reason for overlooking this so that I don't appear to be giving you favors, he tried to get him to see with his eyes. As if he understood, Choi explained, "Hwang sang bae ha, Lee Chang Bi was only doing what she felt was her civil duty in administering medical aid to the prisoner. As you did not condemn him to death but ordered him imprisoned, she felt that in your infinite grace that you would not leave a man to rot in prison like an animal. Seeing that all who he share ties with are dead, he has no means of creating a dangerous situation in the kingdom. It is my opinion that commander Im ho gwon acted rashly and overstepped the bounds of his authority. I only ask that if it is not your intention to have this man put to death, that he be allowed the basic things that are his by right." finishing his explanation, he bowed.
Ui min secretly thanked him for his shrewd logic. "commander Im ho gwon" he said, "though i know your intent was not malevolent, i agree with commander choi that you overstepped your bounds. in the future if you feel that there is a security risk, unless there is immediate danger, you will report these concerns to myself or superior general choi bu directly. is that understood?"
Im bowed, "yes hwang sang bae ha". he snuck an evil look at choi bu and his nosy woman. you made a mistake to make an enemy of me choi bu, he thought to himself. and it makes no difference to me which of you dies, as i know the other will suffer greatly...

having gained the emperor's informal consent to help pak jin jae, chang bi went and saw him every day for a while, making sure that he was not mistreated or in pain. under her continual care, his health improved immensely as did his spirits. he was indebted to her for risking her own safety in order to ensure his. chang also enjoyed visiting him. talking to him helped ease the pain of the loss of her uncle.
when she met choi bu that night for their usual meal and reading session, he offhandly commented that she was spending a gret deal of time with him. "choi jang goon" she said playfully, "are you jealous?"
her lover kept trying to read the paper in front of him and did not look up when he said, "superior general chiu bu does not get jealous." when he caught her giving him a skeptical look out of the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but let a slow smile spread across his face and they both began laughing. putting the scroll down, he moved closer to her and said, "well, maybe he does a little, but no one else knows that."
she raised an eyebrow. "I know" she said pointedly
choi laughed and grabbed her in a bear hug while she giggled. "and if you told anyone i'd have to kill you" he said jokingly.
that reminded her. "choi jang goon" she began, "may i talk to you about something?"
"of course" he said, surprised by her sudden change in tone.
"you must promise not to reveal what i tell you unless it is absolutely ncessary. do you swear?" he nodded and patted his chest. it always made her smile when he gave her that gesture.
"so now" he said smiling, "what is this big secret you were keeping from me?"
taking a deep breath, she said, "I don't think it was the wobong choes that killed my uncle. i think his murder was orchestrated within the imperial city."

Choi's playful mood was gone. "what makes you think this?"
"do you trust my instincts and opinions?" she asked.
"of course i do, chang bi."
"tell me what you know about the man in the prison cell that Im ho Gwon brought back from mongolia" she pressed.
Choi crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair as he thought. "well, he said that he had informants in mongolia who noticed a group of koryo men staying there for a few years. he went to the place they described, and killed the choes for plotting to kill the archfiend. then he brought back the leader to the imperial city."
she looked at him, "don't you find that remarkably convenient for him?"
"i suppose" he said, "but that's not enough to draw the conclusion that you came to."
"i know" she agreed, "but i will fill in the gaps that you did not know existed."

choi sat and listened as chang bi told her of what she had learned from the prisoner.
"his name is pak jin jae" she informed him. "i'm not sure but i think he is the nephew of choe choong hon, who the archfiend had killed. they swore revenge on the archfiend for the murders of their clan, but after choe choong hon and choe choong su were killed, they were forced to retreat to mongolia after a girl named cho chun tried to kill the archfiend and his wife and ji eun. this girl tried to kill my uncle as well when he refused to cooperate with her in killing the archfiend. i found my uncle in danger and i was going to shoot her with his bow and arrow-"
temporarily forgetting that he had not told her about cho chun, he asked in amazement "with your UNCLE'S bow?"
she waved his comment off. "that's not important right now. in any case, he prevented me from killing her by holding a sword to my back and in that way, they tried to blackmail my uncle into helping them. then of course fortunately you killed her so that was no longer a problem for uncle kyung su. but after that i never saw him again. and he had no intention to kill me, just to use me as leverage with my uncle. in any case, the person who killed my uncle claimed he was exacting revenge for the wobong choes, but so far in mongolia, he didn't dare entre shilla and he swears that as the leader of his clan, he would have known had anyone attempted to send someone to murder my uncle. he didn't even know that uncle kyung su was dead!"
choi pondered all that she had just said. "Do you believe what he says?"
she nodded. "he admits to originally plotting to kill the emperor - first to improve life for the people, and the second time for revenge. but he has seen how happy the people are and believes the emperor to be a just man now and since he has been kind to him since his arrival, he bears him no ill will as the only reason his clan was killed was because im ho gwon planted the idea in the emperor's head. im ho was originally sent her as a spy for them, only their plan backfired because he was using them. if not for Im, (OOC: haha) his clan would still be alive. he blames commander im more than anything and he thinks that im might have been the one who had my uncle killed."
choi looked perplexed. "but why your uncle? how does that benefit them?"
"you were supposed to lead the imperial convoy to mongolia, but you were detained here after my uncle's death, were you not?"
he had to admit, the timing had been most auspicious. but if what she said was true, this man could have only one of two possible intentions. either he truly wanted to gain favor in yi ui min's eyes or he was looking to kill the archfiend and gain control of the country for himself. and if it was the latter, the archfiend was in grave danger ensconced in his own palace.
