The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 42

"THE ICE! LIAN!" li Jihyun shouted loudly until her voice sounded thunderous. Two ladies dressed in ladies entered the room in hasty steps. They stood behind Li Jihyun.

"Bai said hello to his highness the great concubine," Bai said with his head bowed.

"Lian saluted his highness the great concubine" said Lian who lowered her head. Same thing Bai did.

Li Jihyun turned her body around. "You help me prepare" he said, taken in unison. As soon as the heads of the two were raised, they were made to be surprised at Li Jihyun's appearance. The Hanfu he was wearing was torn and his face had bruises. Making both of them swallow with difficulty. Li Jihyun's eye brows lifted. "What are you waiting for?" li Jihyun asked.

The two ladies gasped. They immediately returned their eyes. "Pardon us noble concubines," they said in unison. Li Jihyun poked her lips.

"That's it," said Li Jihyun swinging her hand in the air. "Now help me prepare" he continued, both of them.

"Okay, your high concubine." The two maids immediately helped Li Jihyun. Started bathing until clean until dressed. Even to the point of choosing good clothes. As soon as Li Jihyun finished staring at her reflection in the mirror. A smile was glimpsed. He looked back at the two ladies in turn. Making the minds of the two filled with questions saw Li Jihyun's behavior. The girl placed the fingers on her chin while watching the two maids. He seemed to think of something.

"Do you know where Hai's concubine is?" asked Li Jihyun who was taken by Bai and Fahrani. "Then accompany me there," he said past the two who were still standing. They looked at each other then followed Li Jihyun's footsteps who had already walked first.

"Your majesty please follow me," said Fahrani stepped forward ahead of Li Jihyun's steps. Li Jihyun looked at him flatly but still followed Fahrani's footsteps.

"Have you ever worked in a palace before?" li Jihyun asked making Fahrani's steps pause for a moment followed by Li Jihyun and the lady-in-waiting behind her. He resumed his steps again towards the turn.

"Here you are, your majesty," he said ignoring Li Jihyun's previous question. They turn left and meet the intersection of three. Then turn right and walk straight until you arrive at the concubine's room. Previously passed through various other concubine rooms lined up neatly. So that Li Jihyun and other concubines also rebuked when they passed by. The concubines who met Li Jihyun also bowed respectfully.

Li Jihyun smiled in satisfaction seeing those who used to mock her instead acting respectfully. Even maintain ethics when dealing with it. Fear of offending the woman and getting severe punishment. The news of concubine Xu's death and her bravery against Long Jian had already spread rapidly to the ears of the other concubines. Moreover, plus Li Jihyun's position was higher than theirs.

"We have arrived to his highness the great concubine" said Fahrani who stood next to Li Jihyun. They stopped right in front of a light brown door. The girl raised one eye eyebrow. Stare at the woman next to him. He twisted his body so they looked at him. Fahrani immediately lowered his gaze.

"Have you ever studied manners in the palace before?"

"Before I served his highness my great concubine learned much from the lady-in-waiting" replied Fahrani in a steady voice. Li Jihyun snorted. His eyes turned around. There are many maids coming from various concubines down and back. They seem busy doing something. Li Jihyun's eye brows lifted. The biggest smile was lipped. It was obvious the maids were eye-eyes sent by their employers. His goal was to monitor the information of Li Jihyun's arrival in the concubine's pavilion and the reason he had met Hai's concubine.

His eyes turned back to look at Fahrani. He raised both of his arms and crossed them at chest level. "Then what do you mean you were acting impolite just now? Have you forgotten that I'm the grand concubine here?"

Plaque!

One slap hit Fahrani's cheek. The heat and pain made him instantly speechless. His hands trembled holding onto his cheeks which instantly turned reddish. "Whatdidyou say? Pardon you? Did you underestimate me as a grand concubine?" li Jihyun asked.

Everyone who was there exclaimed in shock. Even the ladyboy who had been going back and forth had stopped. They stared at the rowdy voice that was none other than Li Jihyun.

"Yes-Your majesty shouldn't do this. However, Fahrani's ladyboy is your personal temporary lady," Bai's protest made Li Jihyun's head look back. Make the two look at each other.

"Wantas? What's problem?" li Jihyun asked raising one eye eyebrow. His haughty and intimidating gaze made Bai immediately bow his head. Cold sweat soaked his palm that had been twisting the fingers restlessly. "Why silence?" li Jihyun asked one step ahead of Bai. But the lady took a step back. Li Jihyun continued to step up to make Bai retreat again. Until Bai's back hit the cold wall. Now he can't go anywhere. "My answer!" li Jihyun's snapping surprised Bai.

"Sa-I .." he said stammered.

"Your highness concubine please don't involve lady Bai in our troubles. He had nothing to do with his noble concubine. Consider your good name," pinta Fahrani gathered before Li Jihyun. Whatever happens

I have to prevent him from hurting Bai. We must return alive, inner Fahrani. Fahrani's actions attracted the attention of the clustered daydress. A whispering voice rang Li Jihyun's ear.

His gaze turned to look at the crowd. Highlight his eyes staring flat and coldly made the crowd of maids bow their gaze. "Hey! What are you guys doing there?" li Jihyun asked staring at them sharply. The maids were silent making Li Jihyun squeak. His gaze looked back at the trembling Bai. He pulled the girl's hair strong until her head looked up. Ringisan of pain was visible from his face.

Fahrani who watched gasp. "Your great concubine please let Bai go. He's got nothing wrong" Fahrani said. Li Jihyun stared at him briefly then refocused on seeing Bai. "You could get into trouble with the emperor's majesty."

Li Jihyun's hand jolted the woman's hair firmly. His eyes were immediately glazed with glass in pain. "Your Majesty let me go. I'm sorry for making a mistake" he asked in a clear voice.

"Whisper!" said Li Jihyun throwing her body rough. Bai's body hit the wall and her hair fell out. The woman felt pain all over her body.

"Dad!" fahrani approaches Bai. The woman was lying limp. He looked at Li Jihyun while hugging Bai's body. "Your majesty what are you doing? How could you be a concubine ..."

"Hey you! Take these two men to jail. Then tell the chief warden to punish the behead," he looked at the surprised crowd of maids.
