The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 41
"Master Zhang? Do you want to meet the emperor's majesty?" ask eunuch Bo who is standing in front of the door. Zhang Liu's head nodded quickly. The breath sounded.
"What's wrong? What noble emperor does not exist?" zhang Liu asked. Breath sounded again. Eunuch Bo's eyes looked at him seriously. The middle-aged man patted her on the shoulder.
"You should not interfere in the matter of a noble concubine, "the advice of the exiled eunuch Bo Zhang Liu said.
"No! How could I let a woman as weak as the noble concubine be tormented just like that?" zhang Liu's protest shocked eunuch Bo. The eyes of the man with a thick body were wide.
"Do you think that noble concubine is weak? The woman was even more cruel than the devil" said eunuch Bo rubbing his arm. It was still clearly visible in his head when the woman intimidated him.
"Whatever women they are is still a weak creature," someone pointed their attention away. The two people's heads immediately bowed respectfully.
"Welcome concubine Hai," said they in unison.
"Thank your heads," Hai Rong's decree lifted their heads.
"What is the need for concubine Hai to come see the emperor's majesty?" ask eunuch Bo. Hai Rong and Fen looked at each other. Hai Rong's head nodded making Fen step forward. The woman handed the paper scroll to the eunuch Bo. Eunuch Bo's forehead shriveled in astonishment.
"Give it to the emperor's majesty" said Hai Rong who was taken by the eunuch Bo.
"Aren't you willing to meet the emperor's majesty?" asked eunuch Bo who was shaken by Hai Rong.
"No need. Surely his highness is busy taking care of the war matters again," Hai Rong said staring at the tightly shut door. Eunuch Bo sighed softly. Not once or twice Long Jian often discussed warfare with the ministers to expand his territory. But since the death of concubine Xu Diu made the Xu family instantly withdraw from the imperial military forces. The war had to be postponed. This made Long Jian vent his anger on Li Jihyun who was the cause of Xu Diu's death. The man also tortured Li Jihyun mercilessly. It even involved people related to Li Jihyun. Makes the woman even more upset.
Hai Rong's eyes glanced at Zhang Liu who was still standing nearby. "Sir Zhang do you have any spare time?" Zhang Liu shook his head.
"I can't concubine Hai. I must meet the emperor's majesty in order to meet his highness the great concubine. He needs my help."
The breath sounded. "Mr Zhang. For now the matter of the noble concubine will soon be resolved," Hai Rong said lightly. He turned his head towards the door that eunuch Bo closed. The middle-aged man had already stepped into the emperor's room.
Zhang Liu looked at Hai Rong's astonishment. "What do you mean concubine Hai?" zhang Liu asked curiously.
"We'll see later," Hai Rong said patting Zhang Liu on the shoulder and stepped away. Zhang Liu looked at Hai Rong's back with various questions.
...
The sound of footsteps disturbed Li Jihyun's sleep. The girl opened her eyes. His sight is still faint. He also rubbed his eyes. "For a long time not meeting Jin," said someone to Li Jihyun's surprise. The girl squinted her eyes to clarify her view. Behind the neatly arranged iron ranks looked a man with a rogue face and wearing a palace warrior uniform. "Or what if I call your highness the great concubine?" ask the man again with a respectful bow.
The corner of Li Jihyun's lips lifted. He stared coldly at the man in front while crossing his arms over his chest. "I never thought we'd meet here again uncle." The man's face immediately changed pias.
The breath sounded. "This time you've gone too far with Li Jihyun. I told you not to make trouble with the emperor."
"The problem? He was uncle first. Doesn't uncle know what he's doing? He's a murderer!" li Jihyun said loudly. The breath was heard once more. The man reached into his pocket and opened the prison padlock.
"Get out!" he said open the door. But Li Jihyun did not budge in the least. He stared at the man.
"Did you forget who killed our family?" li Jihyun asked raising one eye eyebrow.
"I don't care," he replied coldly making Li Jihyun screech. Li Jihyun immediately got up from sitting down.
"Basic cold-hearted man. Uncle and that guy are the same. Rubbish!" before he steps out of prison. The man chose silence and clenched his hands tightly.
"Remember this one thing Li Jihyun. How great and genius you are is an ordinary man. Don't push yourself too much." Li Jihyun's steps came to a halt. He turned around and looked at the back of the man.
"Uncle know I'm a genius. But why did uncle stop me from going to the battlefield to help dad? Why?" li Jihyun asked with glassy eyes. It was still clear the man had gone to take him away from their residence. The goal was to keep Li Jihyun from being affected by the war. But Li Jihyun actually came back when she heard the death of her father and six brothers made her quickly found Long Jian. Then she was made a prisoner's concubine. While the man called uncle by Li Jihyun worked as the head warden of the prison without pay. As a guarantee that Li Jihyun could not run away. Given the relationship the two are still blood.
"Now get out of this place and don't come again. One more thing do not waste the help of people who have reached out to you," said the man without looking at him. "And don't look for any trouble that could get you to see me again." The man's voice sounded trembling.
"Curtain! I don't want to see uncle anymore either" he said, walking away from the man. As soon as he heard the sound of Li Jihyun moving away. The man rubbed his face rough. He breathed again.
"So, can't I just catch up with you? I'm already tired. Your daughter's grown up now and I think she can take care of herself. I no longer want to be in the shadow of the past. I'm tired," he mumbled.
...
Li Jihyun continued to walk through the hallway of the palace. Dayang who met him all pulled over. Moreover, looking at Li Jihyun's sinister face. He thinks I'm quiet? Long Jian you are wrongly bothering people. All this time I underestimated you so much that I was constantly defeated by you. This time I will repay you. Just look! his mind with widened steps towards the room.
