Empress Reincarnation
Shin's Death

Liu Li went to the prison to meet Shin.

"Daughter, it's dirty and dark inside" said the guard trying to prevent Liu Li from entering.

"I'll just for a second, let me in." Liu Li looked at the doorkeeper.

The guard could not resist, he finally opened the rusted iron door, and Liu Li entered it.

"Shim!" Liu Li was so shocked to see Shin's condition with whip wounds all over his body, his clothes torn in some parts.

"Daughter, I'm innocent. Someone set me up" said Shin. His body was weakly lying on the cold prison floor.

"Shin, I believe in you. Hang on, I'll save you." Liu Li clasped tightly onto the iron bars that locked Shin away.

"Daughter, I'm sorry .. My carelessness could put you in danger." Shin tried to crawl closer to the iron bars.

"Who gave the amulet?"

"He was a servant who worked for the concubine Fu Rong, his name was Man Ing." Shin's face turned furious, remembering how Man Ing had seduced him.

"Daughter," the guard called out behind him, reminding Liu Li not to take too long.

Liu Li couldn't bear to hold back her tears, she cried, "Shin, you must be strong. I will seek justice for you. Hang in!" Liu Li wiped his tears, then left the prison.

"Daughter, how is Shin doing?" asked Meng Meng who was waiting outside the prison.

"He was tortured" Liu Li replied sadly.

Meng Meng was speechless, she could only close her mouth in surprise.

"We're going to the prince's place."

"Good, princess."

Liu Li walked towards the residence of the Jin prince followed by his servant.

"Liu Li, salute."

"Come," the prince who was sitting read the book.

"Prince, my servant is innocent." Without further ado, Liu Li immediately said the intention of his arrival.

The prince looked at Liu Li sharply.

"I beg for justice. Let me uncover the truth" Liu Li asked.

"The punishment must be carried out. I'm busy, get out." The prince looked at the book.

Liu Li felt the prince did not want this matter to be revealed. In a fit of annoyance, Liu Li left the prince's room.

Foolish girl, if your servant is not immediately punished, you will be punished. This death talisman was a serious thing in the palace. Lest the queen mother interfere in this matter, I should immediately take action, inner prince.

"Wei Hong," call the prince.

"Prince." Wei Hong swiftly faced.

"You know what to do with the servant" said the prince in a cold tone.

"Wei Hong, understand."

"Concubine Fu Rong, I've tortured that servant in prison. But he still did not want to say that it was Liu Li's daughter's fault, he insisted that it was his fault" a male servant reported.

"Brazed waiter!" Fu Rong squeezed his handkerchief, "he's just a new servant, why he's protecting his master. Doesn't he love his own life."

"Would this day spread the news to the court of the queen mother?"

"Do it now" Fu Rong ordered.

"Good."

***

Liu Li restlessly paced back and forth in his room, "grandmother Zao, quickly call the attendant concubine Fu Rong named Man Ing."

"Daughter, this problem ..."

"Grandmother, I have to save Shin."

"Daughter, princess!" Meng Meng entered hurriedly, her face puffy with tears, "daughter ..."

"Meng, what's wrong?"

"Shin .. he ..." Meng Meng was unable to continue her words.

"Say!"

Liu Li took a few steps back and dazed at the chair, he never thought that Shin who had just been appointed as his personal servant was gone.

"Daughter, are you okay?" Grandma Zao looked worried.

Shin killed himself? No way! He must have been killed! Who did it? Wh why? So many questions raged in Liu Li's brain.

"Grandma just wait here. I'm going to the prince's place." Liu Li quickly stepped foot to meet the prince.

The prince was still busy with the notes on his desk.

"Prince, why did you do it? You were so adamant about punishing Shin. I can't believe you" Liu Li couldn't hold back his emotions. This was the first time he had lost his close person in such an unusual manner, it was too cruel for Liu Li.

The prince looked at Liu Li, "what happened?"

Liu Li smiled sinisterly, "still ask!"

Wei Hong walked into the room and gave a greeting, "respectful to the prince, princess."

Liu Li ignored him and left just like that leaving the prince who still did not understand what was happening.

"Prince, by the time I got to the prison, Shin's servant was already dead. He committed suicide by banging his head against the prison wall" Wei Hong reported.

"Hmm .. so he thinks I did it" the prince murmured.

"Wei Hong, tell Liu Li. I'll take him to the king's palace. The king wanted to meet him" said the prince.

"Okay, prince."

***

Liu Li returned to his residence in annoyance. Grandma Zao waited for him restlessly.

"I never thought the prince would do such a thing. Why kill Shin!" Liu Li still could not accept this reality.

"Daughter, lower your voice. Don't talk so much." Grandma Zao warned.

Liu Li took a deep breath.

"Had I been in Shin's position, I would have done so, too" said Zao's grandmother.

"Why?" li asked, not understanding.

"I'll protect you, princess."

"grandmother ..."

"I would die for you."

"No, no. Don't say that." Liu Li hugged Grandma Zao tightly.

"Daughter, there's a message from the prince." Meng Meng went into the room.

Liu Li let go of his embrace, "say."

"The prince invited the princess to visit the king's palace. The king wants to see the princess."

"Okay, I'll go."

Grandma Zao clasped Liu Li's hand, "daughter, don't reveal this matter in front of the king. All the problems would be more difficult if the palace interfered."

"I know."

***

Prince Jin and Liu Li boarded the horse carriage. Liu Li continued to avoid looking at the prince. The atmosphere became awkward.

"Are you angry?" ask prince.

"I don't want to talk" Liu Li replied.

"Bruck!" Suddenly the horse carriage came to a sudden stop, making a shock inside. Liu Li's body accidentally hit the prince's body, with the prince swiftly hugging Liu Li's waist so as not to fall. And this position is very ... close, even they can hear each other's breath.

"Is this comfortable?" asked the prince flirting.

Liu Li was startled, he quickly let go of the prince's embrace and sat away.

"Prince, princess, sorry. There was a cat passing by, a horse stopped suddenly," exclaimed the bodyguard from outside the horse carriage.

"Find a path that has many cats" said the prince.

Of course the guards outside did not understand the meaning of the words of the Jin prince, he was just scratching his head.

"Basic cat garong!" Liu Li said with annoyance.
