The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 21

"10 billion" he said, making the woman freeze in shock.

"Ten billion?" repeat with a stutter. The number is very large for dirty girls and filled with many scars. The woman once again looked at the frail girl.

"Why? Is it too cheap?" asked the man made the woman instantly shift her attention. He smiled thinly.

"Cheap or not it depends on your own judging it. Besides I don't care how much you pay for it as long as you take that unlucky carrier girl away. I'm happy enough."

"alright. I'll add 14 billion. I think that's enough" said the man, who was accepted to agree with the woman. "I'll send it through the account" he said again and approached the girl who was still sitting on the floor. His gaze blankly stared at the man who approached him. The man's steps stopped right before his eyes. The middle-aged man held his chin and raised his face. Makes the girl's head look up. He moved left and right just checking his face. But the girl did not resist at all just resignedly let the man's treatment on her.

Dirty face due to dust attached does not cover her beauty. The man smiled happily and then let go of his grip. He picked up the girl and left. When he went through the door, the woman turned her face uncaring.

"Mama," he muttered, raising his hand in the air. The woman closed the door quickly. Ignoring the pity look of the little girl who was taken away. The girl lowered her head. Until the end, the woman did not want to see him.

"From the beginning you should not have been born" the words re-energized in his head. The woman who gave birth to him never once loved him. Even often do acts of violence to cause many scars all over his body. But strangely the girl never cried or complained. He remained silent until the woman was satisfied.

"LI JIHYUNS! YOU ARE NOT MY DAUGHTER! YOU FUCKING CARRIER BOY!" the girl quickly covered her ears. He grimaced as the voice deafened his ears. "LI JIHYUNS! DEVIL BOY! GODDAMN IT!" the speech was getting buzzing in the ear. How tightly he shut it the voice came back.

"Stop it," she asked weakly. His breath roared quickly.

"DIE YOU LI JIHYUN!" the woman's voice again and again sounded. His eyes are now closed.

"Please stop" he asked again in a clear voice.

"DICK BOY! DIE YOU!" the girl bit her lower lip. Withstanding the pain in the ear.

"Li Jihyun!" a warm sounding voice woke him up. Hunt him open his tightly closed eyes. His breath was still puffing. A sweat drenches the forehead. "Thank God you're awake" said Yona, clutching Li Jihyun's body.

The girl's eyes immediately looked at Yona. A sobbing sound was heard from Yona. "What's going on?" li Jihyun asked as she adjusted her breathing. Yona released her embrace and rubbed Li Jihyun's face gently. Tears were still dripping down Yona's cheeks.

"A-You ..." Yona biting her lower lip. He turned his face quickly making Li Jihyun curious. He was about to ask again but his entire body suddenly hurt. He grimaces slowly.

Yona who noticed it immediately panicked. The woman directly ran out before Li Jihyun opened her mouth. "Quick call the healer," he cried out from within Li Jihyun's room. The girl exhaled in frustration. His body was still in pain and pain. He massaged the temple while recalling last night's events. Aside from the nightmares in his past that re-emerged. He rubbed a rough face.

There was no love she had gained since childhood. Even the woman willingly sold it to the members of the hit men who were her mother's clients. It was there that Li Jihyun was educated into cold-blooded assassins. Indiscriminate and merciless in taking people's lives. He did not even refuse the task of taking his own mother's life. There was no mercy in him even a little bit.

The sound of footsteps rang out his daydream. An old man and Yona entered his room in a hurry. The old man immediately sat down on the chair near his bed. Deftly the old man checked Li Jihyun's pulse. The old man looked mangut mangut during the examination. His head looked up and looked at the worried Yona.

"The condition of the great concubine is in good condition. So there's nothing to worry about" said the healer distancing his hand. Hela breath of relief sounded.

"Thank God."

"It is better that the great concubine rest first until the wound is healed," said the physician rose up.

"Wounds?" li Jihyun asked in confusion. His forehead frowned and looked at the healer. The physician immediately turned his head towards the restless Yona. "Is there something you're hiding from me?" li Jihyun asked in full search. His eyes were staring at them in turn. The breath sounded.

The physician who stood up sat back in his chair. His old body made him move a little slowly. "Before there was something I needed to tell you," said the physician taking a breath. Yona touched the healer's shoulder, and the healer's head fell backward. Yona shook her head but was ignored by the healer. The twilight-aged man looked back at the curious-looking Li Jihyun. "But I hope you're not surprised" he said with a serious look.

"Tell me. Does this have anything to do with the pain I'm experiencing?" li Jihyun asked to make sure that the healer possessed it. His long, gray beard was rubbed slowly.

"A week ago we found you passed out in your room in a body full of wounds. In addition, we also found you without a thread," said the healer lowered his gaze. The girl's eyes were shocked.

"That's impossible! How can ... Ughhhh!" he was holding a head that suddenly hurt. The doctor near her panicked. So did Yona. The physician deftly checked Li Jihyun's pulse. His wrinkled face paled.

"Well, how is the noble state of the great concubine?" ask Yona stuttered. The healer cleared his throat slowly and still held onto Li Jihyun's wrist.

"So far there's no problem. The grand concubine was only struck," replied the healer releasing his handrails. While Li Jihyun gritted her teeth restraining her anger.

Emperor bastard! Barbarically! maki Li Jihyun was inwardly clenching her hands tightly. His memory spun back as Long Jian whipped his entire body. Seeing the face Long Jian enjoyed made Li Jihyun disgusted.

The physician got up from his seat. He reached into her hanfuku pocket and gave Yona two bags of medicine. The woman nodded her head.

"How are you, noble concubine?" yona asked, sitting on the edge of the bed. The woman looked at Li Jihyun's silent pity.

"Where's the emperor?" asked Li Jihyun looking at him sharply making Yona aghast in shock.
