What nonsense.
Those who had accompanied me had already witnessed Sehwa discovering the medicinal herbs. Especially those sent by the Crown Prince; they would have no reason to keep it a secret from him.
But if he were capable of such rational thought, he wouldn’t be saying such things.
‘This is troublesome.’
Sehwa instinctively clutched the bag containing the herbs.
“You are already receiving the favor of both Princess Su-yeong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so shouldn’t you concede this much…!”
“No, I think you should reconsider that…”
As she tried to appease him, the physician grabbed the bag Sehwa was carrying on her shoulder.
“If it weren’t for you, everything would have been fine—no, if it weren’t for Princess Su-yeong…!”
The trembling voice and hands violently shook the bag Sehwa was carrying.
Sehwa realized that the reason this man was reacting this way wasn’t simply because of his dissatisfaction with her.
This man was now blaming Sehwa and Princess Su-yeong for all his problems and resentment.
‘Is he perhaps going to damage the herbs like this?’
It was a herb she had worked hard to find. If she lost it in these mountains, it would be impossible to find it again.
As she desperately grabbed the bag and struggled with the man, she strangely felt as if she was being pushed away. The physician’s strength was surprising.
Falling backward beyond the bushes, her feet stepped, futilely, into the air.
