Lisa....We Switched Lives! | Book 2

219.What are you doing here?

Jeongguk who was drinking his tea in his study got the news that Mingyu has come back from his trip to P country and was patiently waiting for him.

But after waiting for a while he did not arrive.

He was reading a book in his study when Minho hurriedly came in and said, "Your highness, Empress Lalisa and Eunbi are in front of the palace hall. I saw them talking with Master Mingyu and that's why came to inform you." he said as he bowed in front of him.

Jeongguk raised his brows when he heard Minho's words.

He didn't mind Lalisa talking with Mingyu because he was his cousin but when he heard that Eunbi was also there, his expression darkened.

He has seen how his mother and Eunbi was continuously trying to humiliate and distress Lalisa.

Before when he was not in the palace and always outside the palace or on wars, he never knew how his mother and Eunbi has made Lalisa's life hell in the palace.

But now he has strengthened his power in other regions and does not need to go on wars as frequently as before.

When he came back, his mother told him the immoral relationship between Lalisa and the bodyguard Bangchan.

Bangchan was Lalisa's bodyguard from the start and she had treated him as his brother.

He knows he was close with Lalisa but he couldn't believe that Lalisa has a relationship with him. But when he saw her together with him coming out of her Chamber, his blood boiled in anger.

He believed that Lalisa could not do anything like that. But at that time he has spoken harshly and shouted at her in spite of anger.

But later when he calmed down he realized that some things didn't match together because it was Eunbi who took him there saying that they should meet Lalisa and clear things with her.

When they reach the lotus pavilion they saw the bodyguard Bangchan and Lalisa coming together from her chamber and her clothes and hair were disheveled.

At that time, he got into Eunbi and his mother's nonsense and don't know what nonsense he said to Lalisa which hurt her to the point that she attempted suicide.

His expressions fell when he remembered all these things and everything that he did to her. He couldn't change the past but he could try to change the future.

He truly wanted to mend for his past mistakes and wanted to give Lalisa a happy life ahead.

He gets up from his chair and went out of the study. He was walking towards the entrance of the palace hall when he saw Eunbi walking towards him.

His brows furrowed when he saw her walking towards him. She was also his wife but he never wished to marry her in the first place.

It was Eunbi's father who cornered him to marry her in exchange for their loyalty to Jeong Dynasty. At that time, his power was weak and recently took over the throne so he can't make any new enemies.

Because it will not only harm him but will cost the lives of many innocent people if the war broke out. So he has no choice but to marry Eunbi which became the base of their alliance.

He never liked her and has told her already that he couldn't give her his time and love because he doesn't love her before their marriage.

But she still insisted to marry him but he never expected that a girl which looked naive and innocent could trap Lalisa to the point of no return.

Eunbi has made a huge impact on Empress Dowager and always do whatever she wishes because she knows that Empress Dowager was there to protect her.

He slightly closed his eyes to calm his temper down. He needed to do things rationally because there are many untold things that Lalisa doest know and he needs to resolve them before making any decision.

Though a ruler enjoys a bunch of luxuries however he was also the one who has the gravest responsibilities. He needs to make his every decision carefully be it public or private.

Because every private decision of a ruler affects his public decisions and the people.

Eunbi entered the palace without waiting for Lalisa and Mingyu saw Jeongguk who was also going to the entrance of the palace hall.

Her lips curled upwards as she smiled and pushed her hair back and walked elegantly towards him, "Greeting to his highness."

She greeted him with a slight bow when she met him.

Jeongguk looked at her and spoke with a blank expression on his face, "What are you doing here?"

Eunbi was slightly startled with his cold and distant tone. She has noticed that he was behaving differently since Lalisa has attempted suicide.

He behaves differently in front of Empress Dowager and different in front of her.

"Your highness, I saw Master Park and Sister Lisa were coming here to have tea so I also joined them. I hope his highness won't mind," she said with a low voice and with her bright smile.

He raised his brows when he heard her words.

"But where are they? They were coming behind me but why didn't they come yet? His highness let's go out to see why they haven't come inside yet. " Eunbi blinked her eyes as if wondering why they didn't come yet.

He could see the hidden meaning behind Eunbi's innocent words but didn't say anything.

By now he didn't get any evidence against Eunbi that she was the one who plotted against Lalisa and spread rumors of their immoral relationship.

He didn't say anything to her and took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance of the palace hall.
