The Unloved Queen's Revenge
Queen 13's. The Smart Queen

Floods in the west continue to grow in size along with rain that is increasingly frequent. People in the camps are running out of food. Local officials, however, seemed indifferent. The county regent of Ding was seen to be doing nothing.

He did not care much about the fate of his people. It was seen that the regent remained comfortable in his home instead of seeing the condition of the citizens.

" This can't be allowed. I must report to your Majesty immediately."

A man who was none other than Hyeon's right-hand man immediately headed to the city to report on the current condition of the Ding territory.

Sung Won sped his horse faster. It can't be slow. Using a carrier pigeon is also not a good option because the weather is really not supportive. Even Sung Won ran in the rain. He ignored the slippery roads.

Iiiiic

His horse grimaced as it slid many times on the slippery ground. Sung Won is still trying to get up. At least when the sun rose he had to reach the city and meet the noble king.

" Hold on, a little more until."

Sung Won rubbed the horse gently. They both know that their bodies are on the edge. In the end Sung Won collapsed on his horse.

The horse is still running. He knows exactly where he's headed. The gate of the capital was already visible. And while there the horse stopped right in front of the guard soldiers.

" Isn't this Mr Sung Won?"

" Yes, you're right. Let's report."

The soldier brought Sung Won to be called a healer first. While the others went straight to the palace to report to the king.

Hyeon was certainly surprised to hear the report from the gatekeeper of the capital. He and Dae Jung head straight to where Sung Won is.

" God, why is it that you're doing this what's going on?"

Hyeon stared pityfully at Sung Won's body that was covered in wounds. So did Dae Jung. Dae Jung and Sung Won have a good relationship. Both of them grew up on Hyeon's side. They are actually friends from childhood.

" Sorry your honor, this is not the result of people's attacks. This is because I was too careless on the way here. Ding County is currently experiencing severe flooding. But regent Ding ignored the citizens. At this time the citizens are having difficulty with foodstuffs and of course shelter."

Hyeon threw out his rough breath. This is a serious problem. From yesterday he thought of a way out for this problem but it has not been solved.

"You've worked hard Sung Won. Thank you and rest. I'll ask Dae Jung to send food to Ding county. You restore your health."

Sung Won nodded, grateful to be able to convey that to Hyeon. While Dae Jung directly carried out Hyeon's order to send food to Ding's duchy this time as well. Although the sun has not yet risen, Dae Jung quickly carries out Hyeon's orders.

Hyeon walked back to his residence. He continued to think of a way out of the flood disaster experienced by the Ding Duchy.

" Your highness?"

" Queen Gyeo Wool, what are you doing here early in the morning?"

" Aaah, the servant has awakened and can not sleep again as a servant of the streets. Then, your majesty what you do is also early in the morning here."

Hyeon told me what just happened. He also told about the flood disaster that hit Ding district. Gyeo Wool listened carefully. Every now and then Gyeo Wool nodded her head in a sign that she understood everything Hyeon had said.

" Haha, right now I'm dead-end. If I don't find a way out soon, the people will suffer even more."

Gyeo Wool understands Hyeon's anxiety. Behind his attitude that seemed cold and had many concubines apparently Hyeon was a king who was so considerate of the people. The basket-eyed man according to Gyeo Wool looked different when talking about his people.

" Your highness, does Ding county have a river?"

" There is, why is it?"

Gyeo Wool smiled. He found little clues to his current problem. Unknowingly Gyeo Wool pulled Hyeon's hand. Of course Hyeon was surprised, but he let his queen do what she wanted.

Gyeo Wool takes Hyeon to Hyeon's reading room, and asks Hyeon to show her a map of Ding's territory. Although Hyeon did not know, but he did according to what his queen wanted.

After giving a map of the Ding region, Gyeo Wool then observed closely. He found something there.

" His Majesty do you know why this Ding region is always flooded while the rest of the region is not?"

Hyeon shook his head, from where Gyeo Wool knew that every year the Ding region was always affected by flooding from the rain that occurred.

" Because of the lack of water catchment areas. In the Ding area the green open land is very little because of the illegal logging of trees so that when the rain occurs, the water will stagnate the settlement of residents. There is a way that we can do today is to make a irrigation system by making sewers that we then flow directly into the river. In the long run we have to plant trees again so that rainwater can seep into the ground."

Hyeon was stunned with every word that came out of Gyeo Wool's mouth. He didn't think his queen was so smart. Hyeon then took out a paper and made some graffiti to make a picture. Gyeo Wool looked at it carefully. The woman's smile then expanded upon seeing the image from Hyeon.

" Aaah yes, this is what I mean. Upsss sorry, noble servant keceplosan."

Hyeon smiled wryly. He saw the other side of the woman who became his queen.

" Thank you, today I'm going straight to Ding County to make it."

" Amm, can I follow your highness?"

Hyeon furrowed both of his eyebrows. He really did not expect Gyeo Wool wanted to join the disaster area. The man was a little anxious of course if he took the queen away with him. But looking at Gyeo Wool's hopeful face, it seemed that he would allow Gyeo Wool to come along.

" You can come along."

Gyeo Wool cheered happily. But they were not aware of hika from earlier someone listening to their conversation with their hands clenching the sign of anger.

" I won't let you go with your majesty."
