The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 26's
"It looks like I should visit concubine Xu's house. It must be that his family has lost their daughter very much" Li Jihyun said with a sad face. Hai Rong and Fen were flabbergasted in shock.
"A-Are you sure that noble concubine is great?" tanya Hai Rong made sure. After all, visiting the Xu Diu family home was tantamount to challenging death. The owner of that house who was the head of the Xu family would not let Li Jihyun get away with it. They must be avenging Xu Diu's death. Moreover, Xu Diu came from a military family from generation to generation who served as a general. In addition she became a concubine representing the Xu family. This means that the name of the Xu family is increasingly famous and respected by all nobles.
But Xu Diu, who was killed in the hands of a captive concubine, was a family disgrace. How could he just die in the hands of a lowly human? that was the rumor heard in the palace. Hai Rong stared fixedly at Li Jihyun. The girl's face showed neither fear nor guilt. He was very calm to be called a murderer. Hai Rong gulped.
The concubine before him was not an easy opponent. Making the opponent only harms him. He is more cunning and clever in controlling situations. Even more ruthless than Long Jian.
"of course. As a form of concern for me who is a great concubine. Naturally I visited the Xu family," Li Jihyun said making the two people dumbfounded.
"You don't need to come there," deter Hai Rong in a loud voice. Li Jihyun tilted her face making Hai Rong's breath choked. His face instantly paled as he stared at Li Jihyun's jet-black black iris. Hai Rong's head was immediately bowed. "Sa-I'm sorry. I don't mean to be presumptuous. Sa-I'm just worried about you" Hai Rong said with cold sweat pouring out. So did Fen who had been silent since then with a body trembling in fear.
Challenging Li Jihyun was tantamount to death. Even though the girl was still lying in the bed. Still the aura emanated in his body makes anyone guts. Li Jihyun laughed softly surprising Hai Rong and Fen. "What are you doing, concubine Hai? I'm not mad you forbid me from going there. I also understand your reaction so," Li Jihyun said casually. "Lift your heads" he continued.
Fen glanced at Hai Rong. The woman nodded her head slowly. He raised his head first followed by Fen. Li Jihyun sighed and leaned on the head of the bed. "I still apologize for being so presumptuous to you," Hai Rong said politely.
"Don't I already say. That's not a problem" Li Jihyun said with a big smile. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. "But why did you forbid me from going to see the Xu family?" li Jihyun asked staring at the two in turn. They looked at each other in silence. A breath sounded diverting the attention of the two. "If you don't want to tell him it doesn't matter either. I don't mind."
"Your majesty my great concubine sorry long ago. The warm water in the kitchen had run out" Yona said. He brought a tray of tea and three glasses. Deftly move the glass and teapot on the table. He also poured tea into his glass. His hand held out a glass to Li Jihyun.
"Thank you," said Li Jihyun starting to smell the puff of smoke from her glass. Yona nodded her head then retreated behind Li Jihyun. More precisely on the side of Li Jihyun's bed. That master must have needed something that was why he remained next to Li Jihyun.
The smell of jasmine on his tea made Li Jihyun smile. He then sipped his tea until half a glass was left. His eyes glanced at Hai Rong and Fen who were drinking tea. Put the tea glass gracefully.
"Your noble concubine. Have you heard the rumors?" li Jihyun's eyebrows rose next to her.
So that the rumors that spread were chaotic. Approaching Hai Rong did not cause any harm. Because Hai Rong was part of the previous empire. His father and Hai's family were friends. But, the head of the Hai family threw it away and supported the emperor now. That made Li Jihyun furious. He did not expect to experience betrayal like in his first life. Ever since knowing the ladyboy she helped was Hai Rong's mane. He approached her with a specific purpose.
"They say you're a demonic woman who likes to torture people to death" Hai Rong's remark surprised Yona. Although he had seen firsthand Li Jihyun torture his opponent to death. But hearing the rumors made Yona worried. He looked anxiously at Li Jihyun.
Again and again Li Jihyun laughed slowly. "It's just gossip but they're that big, '" he sighed.
"After all, concubine Xu's death was just an accident. I didn't mean to kill him," Li Jihyun said staring straight at Hai Rong.
The hair of the beautiful woman immediately brushed. Li Jihyun's sharp and cold gaze made her unable to hide her fear. His black iris was shaking. Does he mean to threaten me if he dares to harass her? thought Hai Rong holding the glass with trembling hands. It was no secret of the ill-treatment of all the inhabitants of the concubine pavilion to her. It even impacted the maids who served him. Including Xu Diu, one of the people veiled Li Jihyun.
"How's tea? Must be delicious, right?" li Jihyun asked to shift the topic. Hai Rong and Fen nodded their heads quickly. The situation at hand feels gripping. A little hasty both of them finished the tea.
"Thank you for the tea. We thank your highness concubine," Hai Rong said with a respectful bow. "We'll excuse us first" said Hai Rong who replied with a nod of Li Jihyun. The two people hurriedly left Li Jihyun's room.
The sound of his second step sounded far away. Li Jihyun got off the bed. "Your great concubine," said Yona anxiously. The girl stood up and looked towards Yona.
"Not to worry about Yona. I'm fine" he said with a smile.
"But .." Li Jihyun's hand raised in the air made the lady clench her mouth. He walked leisurely towards the window. His eyes stared at the crowd in the concubine pavilion.
"As long as I don't come out. It turned out that there were many interesting events," Li Jihyun murmured. "Yona do you have any men's clothes?" li Jihyun asked making Yona confused.
"I have. But what do you want to do?" ask Yona curiously. Li Jihyun smiled faintly.
