The red palace book5/28/2023 However, the evidence starts pointing to the palace-with the Crown Prince being the primary suspect. Set against the backdrop of 1700s Joseon Korea, Hur’s newest novel follows young palace nurse Hyeon and police inspector Eojin as they investigate the grisly murders of four nurses from Hyeon’s old nursing school. While The Red Palace does not incorporate the Crown Prince as a main character, Hur does make sure that he is a part of this story. Eight days later, Crown Prince Sado was dead. Their sour relationship eventually led to the Crown Prince’s tragic death, in which the king commanded his son to be locked inside of a rice chest in the summer heat. Hur also admits that she would “probably feel like crying on the wall” if she had the chance to observe this, as the relationship between Crown Prince Jangheon, also known as Prince Sado, and his father quickly took a dark turn. More specifically, Hur would want to see his father’s reaction, looking at the Crown Prince “like he’s the most precious thing in the world.” If June Hur could be a fly on the wall during any of the events from her latest novel, The Red Palace, she would want to witness the moment when Crown Prince Jangheon was born. The Red Palace by June Hur is out on Januand can be ordered here.
