Removing the Thorn I

"What!" Someone in the crowd couldn't keep his amazement to himself. Tae Yong looked unbothered by Tae Yang's words. The ministers didn't know who they should face. They were all wondering if there really was bad blood between the king and the prince. Tae Yang and Tae Yong could see the scheming in the minister's eyes. "Could Your Highness please elaborate?" Tae Yang shook his head. "You will all know when the time comes."

He turned to Tae Yong. "If there is nothing else, I'll be taking my leave. Lords... Please follow me." His last words were for Nam Gil, Jin and Ping. He didn't wait and left with his eunuchs. "We'll come back later. You did really well." Nam Gil patted Nam Mu's shoulders before following Tae Yang. Jin and Ping did the same. The ministers weren't sure if they should follow, they stood around looking lost before Zhang snapped out of his daze. He turned to the minister next to him.
