### Summary
The narrative delves deeper into the psychological instability of King Yeonsan, directly linking his erratic behavior to the historical deposition of his mother, Queen Yun. Following a failed attempt by Grand Prince Jin-seong to guide him, the king's mental state appears to have worsened significantly, with readers highlighting a disturbing scene where he engages in role-play with a concubine as if she were his mother. This suggests a severe and unresolved trauma that is now being exploited by court officials, who are seen to be manipulating the king's personal grievances. The political atmosphere has become dangerously charged, with events being ominously referred to as the "first purge," indicating a violent political cleansing is underway. While Jin-seong has been trying to prevent his brother's tyrannical reign, the situation is escalating beyond his control as the king's deep-seated issues and the court's machinations propel the kingdom toward a bloody and tragic chapter.
