After Lee SooHyeon returned home and told Myung of his children, she insists to go to meet them, also because she thinks HyunKi will feel better if he goes on holiday. How wrong she is.

They prepare for Earth then they take the airplane to Bali. Myung gave clear pictures for her grandchildren to recognize her.

Norihiko left, LianBi followed and he is not fine if he is not sure he is alright. He settles things with Noriyori and Mun and leaves for Earth, he doesn't even warn his mother, knowing that regardless his adult age, she wouldn't approve him going. Byeul is too busy to follow him but she knows. He forces XiaiShi to come with him but of course you don't have to RP him if you don't want to. Just to bring one more person. XD

He asks Norihiko for the location and after getting ready with clothes, he heads there.

He approaches the door of the apartment but hears the voices coming from inside. Jingyi talking while cooking with LianBi. ''So he fired me, he found that stupid paper and sent me away from the Palace! It wasn't even mine, can you imagine how hard it was for me, without that job? Commandant Hu ruined everything I built till then!I would just like to take him and strangle him.'' Jingyi mutters and HyunKi tilts his head while listening, then he knocks.
Jingyi goes to open the door, clueless. Meanwhile though, Yeri also arrives and blinks at the sight of him, recognizing him from childhood. ''What are you doing here? You are...''
''Gyeong, short version.'' HyunKi says, looking at Yeri then at the panicked Jingyi. ''I came here for my uncle and brother.''

After leaving the prison, he returns alone to the nursery to ask Yoshi how is XiYu doing. ''So, what happened to her?'' He asks both Yoshi and the physichan.
''It seems poison, hyung...she hasn't signs of struggle or worse.'' Yoshi says then tilts his head. ''Hyung, what did you do with ZhaoZi and PanAn? Because they were not guilty, I was just too angry to tell you, before.'' And now he is even feeling bad about it.
''I questioned them and put them in jail. I had the feeling they had nothing to do with it, from their looks. I will free them, no worries.'' The morning after but no worries.

The morning after they are indeed freed by a Palace Guard. ''You can go, we found the evidence needed to release you.''

The day of his comeback was happy at first, the girls were all cheerful for his return but then...the eunuch had to warn him about the disappearance of XiYu and that pissed him off.
Haru's training was much worse than his, but only because they have never seen angry HyunKi yet.
''I don't care.'' He says after making them all stand in line with straight backs and with weights around both their wrists. ''I don't care if you don't like each other. If it was any of you to cause this, step forward, or if you know who has been troubling her, say it and I won't punish all of you.'' No one steps ahead though, even after a few minutes. ''Very well. Drop the 5 kg weights, change with the 10 kg for arms and 20kg on legs. We'll repeat Chatanyara Kushanku until you all do it properly.'' Just the hardest according to Onz, ez.
As he expected, no one of them manages to handle the jump with so much weight on, so they repeat it till evening, until the girls really can't take it anymore.
''Take this as a lesson of respect, this is the first warning. You will have to fight together in the future, so you'd better start cooperating with each other.''

In the following days, the training turns less harsh, also as he hears of the real reason why XiYu escaped from the hq. He doesn't regret giving that lesson, he is sure they will not forget it any time soon and that they understand better the real meaning of being Palace Guards now.
Still, he decides to let them have a less harsh day, by bringing them to the Palace and let them test what kind of work they will have to do once the training is over.
They spend the entire morning there. Each one of them joins an experienced Palace Guard that shows her the job, but only the easiest stuff. HyunKi doesn't want to burden the PG, since they already have a lot to do and aren't many, so this will be only for half day.
He gathers them all when they finish. ''You worked well today. You have free afternoon. Return to the hq before 9pm.''

After settling down at the palace, he doesn't waste time and prepares himself to go out again, to meet Christoph.
He warns Coco to get ready too and he goes to wear tight clothes. He doesn't know exactly where to go, so they will have to stay out for a bit.

goo.gl/images/eLbppw He hates the style but doesn't want to freeze. He is waiting for Coco near the door, impatient. ''XiaiShi, come on...'' He rolls his eyes.
