Crown Prince Sado
In one instance, after Crown Prince Sado left the royal palace without approval, Lady Hyegyong, along with some of Sado's head eunuchs, created an elaborate ruse to disguise Sado's absence; the ruse involved the head eunuch pretending to be ill while locked up in Sado's chambers while being served by the rest of his servants as if he was actually the crown prince (Haboush, “Memoirs” p. 303). Despite the danger scheme placed upon them, Lady Hyegyong described Sado's absent to be viewed as a “welcomed respite”.
