Chapter 13:
Eun Won was woken up with a sharp headache going through her head. She rolled her fingers against her temples to lessen the pain. Sitting up in bed, she looked around for Na-Ri. "Na-Ri, I need you," said Eun Won. "Yes, mistress. What do you need?" said Na-Ri."Can please get me hangover soup? " asked Eun Won. "Yes, mistress," said Na-Ri. Eun Won started thinking back on last night, and then she remembered what she said to Yu-Jun. "Oh no!"How could I be so stupid?" said Eun Won. She couldn't believe that she had said that to him.
Na-Ri brought over the hangover soup for her mistress. Eun Won drank it with one swallow. "Mistress, the emperor ordered your presence." said Na-Ri. "Ugh, can't he wait until my hangover is over?" said Eun Won. She took a warm bath and got dressed in a light yellow dress with the help of Na-Ri.
When they were done, they made their way over to Yu-Jun's chambers. Along the way, Eun Won started to wonder what he was going to ask. Maybe about why she went out of the palace to get drunk. Why was she drinking so late? Or why did she drink until she was drunk? All these thoughts floated around in her mind, and she didn't notice that she was in front of Yu-Jun's chambers. She let out a small sigh and knocked on the door of his chamber. "Come in," said a voice from the inside. Her footsteps were light against the wooden floor. All she was thinking was that every time she was causing trouble, he seemed to catch her anyway. The smell of food lingered in the air. Eun Won's stomach growled loudly. She was in a hurry to get there, so she forgot to eat.
Her eyes caught a tall, firm figure in a black and gold robe sitting at a table where food dishes were placed. To say the least, she was anxious. "Take a seat," said Yu-Jun towards Eun Won. Yu-Jun didn't say anything after that. He continues eating.

Yu-Jun's point of view:
He was woken up by the sunshine shining through the window in his chambers. He took a warm bath and got dressed in a black and golden robe. When he was done, he ordered that the look-alike Eun Won should come to his chambers. While Yu-Jun was waiting, a servant from the kitchen brought him some food. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," he said. Yu-Jun could hear the soft footsteps and the anxious breathing of a person. He was trained to hear it from a distance, so he knew that it was the look-alike Eun Won. "Take a seat," he ordered the look-alike Eun Won.
While he was eating, he started to wonder what he was going to say to her. "Why was she getting drunk at night?" or "Why was she drinking?" The blood in his body started to boil with anger thinking about what she had done last night. He was angry because he didn't understand why she would do something like that. He noticed that every time she was in trouble or caused trouble, he always seemed to help her. He was going to discipline her today.
Yu-Jun's point of view stops.

Eun Won was so hungry that her stomach grumbled. Yu-Jun took notice of it and said "Eat". She hesitated for a moment, but then she took the chopsticks and started eating. She thought he wasn't going to ask about last night, but that thought was swept away when he asked, "Why did you go out last night to get drunk?"I just felt like it," said Eun Won. "You just felt like it," asked Yu-Jun sarcastically. "Something could have happened to you. Did you think of that?" he asked. "That is why Na-Ri was with me," said Eun Won. "You have an answer for everything, don't you?" said Yu-Jun. "Well, I'm telling you the truth." said Eun Won.
"Do you dislike me so much that you decided to get drunk?" asked Yu-Jun. "Don't fool yourself? Who would dare dislike the emperor?" said Eun Won sarcastically. "You have the audacity to tell me that?" asked Yu-Jun. "I was just pointing out the truth." said Eun Won calmly. Yu-Jun's blood was boiling from anger. He couldn't believe this tiny person wasn't afraid of death. It drove him nuts that she was so calm, insulting him, the emperor. "Why is he making a fuss about everything she says?" Eun Won thought. She wasn't afraid of him. So why would she be afraid of death itself?
"You are grounded for a week, and, for punishment, you will meet the Empress Dowager tomorrow." ordered Yu-Jun towards the look-alike Eun Won in uncontrollable anger. "If the emperor is done, I'm taking my leave." said Eun Won
Eun Won, on the other hand, walked back to her room in peace and quiet. She was glad to have it over with. She spent her time talking to Na-Ri, eating food, drinking tea, and sitting outside underneath the peach blossom tree.

Yu-Jun's point of view:
His blood boiled from anger. He was angry the whole day. Everyone was afraid to come near him because they could lose their heads. He couldn't focus on royal business, and all he wanted to do was go to blow off some steam.
As night came, Yu-Jun was still angry, so he took a warm bath and went to bed.
Yu-Jun's point of view stops.

As the night came, Eun took a long warm bath and got dressed in warm clothes. She eats the food that the kitchen servants prepared and went to bed. Both of them are tired of today events. They wondered what tomorrow they have in store for them. They wondered about each other. Yu-Jun wondered about why he got so angry today. Was it because he was starting to fall for the look-alike Eun Won or because his worried about her. They both started to fall asleep.
