The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 38's

"I don't know your majesty. I am only carrying out orders from the emperor's highness," Zhang Liu replied. Her eyes glanced at Li Jihyun who was sitting in front of the dressing table. The girl seemed to think of something.

Heh! Does he want to punish me? li Jihyun's inner gaze stared at the reflection of her being reflected. His smooth and white face looked pale. Also his eyes were swollen after crying all night. He breathed heavily. "Wait a minute. I get ready first," said Li Jihyun who was taken in by Zhang Liu.

"good. I'm waiting for you at the door." Zhang Liu immediately walked out of the room. He's standing at the door.

Li Jihyun stared fixedly at his face. Looks haggard and lethargic. "Fahrani! Jiangli!" calling Li Jihyun out loud made the two beauties enter the room. Both bowed respectfully.

"What does the noble grand concubine call us?" asked Jiangli politely.

"Help me give it. I will go to meet the emperor's majesty," said Li Jihyun who was taken in unison. Although at first glance they were lyrically interlocking.

"Good noble concubine," answered the two in unison. Then walked over to Li Jihyun who was sitting in front of the dressing table. Their hands deftly styled Li Jihyun's hair and put on makeup. Li Jihyun immediately remembered with Yona. That dayang often had a dispute over Li Jihyun's makeup whenever he met Long Jian. In addition, he also determined the hanfu Li Jihyun should wear. Although Li Jihyun often refused but Yona remained adamant. Only that woman accepted Li Jihyun as a prisoner of war. Imagining it made Li Jihyun again veiled with grief. He let out a rough breath.

Long Jian this time I follow your game seriously. Let's just see who will survive at the end, Li Jihyun's inner self biting her lower lip firmly. He made his lips hurt. The two ladies were lyrically again. Let alone looking at Li Jihyun's frightening facial expression from the reflection. His eyes flashed with anger as if he was ready to pounce on anyone. The two ladies gulped and finished the makeup as soon as possible.

As soon as he finished Li Jihyun got up from the chair and walked out. Zhang Liu was amazed to see Li Jihyun's face. After dressing the girl's face was very pretty. He looks different than before. An aura of charisma came out. He stared at the frozen astonishment of Zhang Liu. "Are we leaving now?" li Jihyun's question made Zhang Liu drunk.

"I-yes. Let's follow me," he said walking first followed by Li Jihyun. It was his task while guiding the path to Long Jian's room. Moreover, Li Jihyun did not have any ladies right now. Under the glare of the eyes a whisper was heard. Rumors about Yona's death and Li Jihyun's disguise had already spread rapidly. It even came to be associated with Li Jihyun wanting to seize the emperor's throne.

The corner of Li Jihyun's lips lifted upon hearing the rumors about her. Hmh! All of you will die in my hands, his mind staring one by one the lady who was gossiping about him. Stared at Li Jihyun the maids immediately dispersed and returned to work. Although afraid but their mouths are not that easy to stop gossiping. Moreover, this news that shocked the inhabitants of the palace. Prisoner concubine usurps the emperor's throne? Something impossible that would never happen. That's the flat assumption of the palace residents. Even Long Jian who heard it let the gossip circulate. After all, gossip only lasted a month and then disappeared. Hence Long Jian considered it a trivial matter.

They continued to walk through the palace hallway then turned at the intersection of four. Both walk in silence. Only the sound of the knocking of the shoes was heard. Zhang Liu's eyes occasionally stole a glance towards Li Jihyun. When the girl's eyes accidentally looked at him, he hurriedly shifted his eyes immediately. If only we had met from the beginning. I will definitely invite you to be my wife, inner Zhang Liu smiled faintly.

Ever since the first meeting Zhang Liu's heart had been beating fast. The meeting at the grand concubine's appointment as well as her bravery of challenging Long Jian added to Zhang Liu's liking of Li Jihyun. There had never been anyone who dared to challenge Long Jian. Even he had only once or twice dared to challenge Long Jian. But after Long Jian's meeting with Li Jihyun that night his attitude instantly changed dramatically. He's getting cold and scary. I don't know what happened between them. There were only rumors that Li Jihyun had fainted in a terrible state. It was definitely Long Jian. But seeing Li Jihyun survive seemed to this girl more terrifying than Long Jian.

"Zhang Liu," he replied politely. Li Jihyun was silent and smiling.

"Good name," he said, walking ahead of Zhang Liu's step. The brown-haired man immediately gasped. His face immediately blushed in embarrassment. Seeing Li Jihyun walk away already far rushed him after her. Lining Li Jihyun's steps through the palace hallway. The whistling wind chirped Li Jihyun's hair. The smell of roses made Zhang Liu's heart beat fast. "Why are you quiet? Don't you like being praised?" li Jihyun asked looking at Zhang Liu who was walking next to her.

Zhang Liu turned his face the other way. His heart was beating faster even until it felt audible. He covered half of his face with the back of his hand. "Ti-No I didn't mean it that way," Zhang Liu replied stammered.

Li Jihyun laughed softly as she covered her mouth with the back of a hand. "You turned out to be a shy man," Li Jihyun said, looking straight ahead.

Zhang Liu looked at Li Jihyun. The biggest smile was lipped. "Thank you for your praise" he said, stopping Li Jihyun's follow-up. In front of him was a golden dragon carved door and two soldiers. They guarded the emperor's room tightly. Even eunuch Bo was also seen there. Zhang Liu sighed. "We have arrived noble," he said bowing his body.

"Thank you for driving me here" he said, continuing his approach to the door.

Eunuch Bo who saw Li Jihyun immediately shouted out loud. "Your noble concubine entered the room."

The two soldiers who were standing guard opened the door. They bowed respectfully as Li Jihyun passed by. The girl vanished once the door closed again. Zhang Liu only watched the girl's back from a distance.

"Don't pay attention to Mr. Zhang" said eunuch Bo who stood right in front of him. He was aghast at the sight of eunuch Bo. The sound of whispering is heard. He exhaled a rough breath. There was no denying that a strange feeling permeated his heart when he saw Li Jihyun. At first he thought he had a strange illness. But after hearing the stories of many people. It was called falling in love at first sight. For him who has been single for the first 29 years feel the so-called love. "Mr Zhang was also asked to go before the emperor's highness," continued the eunuch Bo whom Zhang Liu was a patron of.

"alright. I'm going in." Eunuch Bo again walked towards the door. The distance between Zhang Liu and the door of the room was 10 steps. That's why eunuch Bo went back and forth.

"Prime minister Zhang Liu entered the room," he shouted in a loud voice. Zhang Liu stepped in steadily. There was no doubt on his face.

"We will soon meet again Li Jihyun," he muttered.
