The Emperor's Prisoner

The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 47's


"How is the state of the glorious emperor?'" li Jihyun asked staring at the two soldiers in turn.


"It is still critical of his highness concubine," replied the soldier making the concubine and the lady-in-waiting exclaim. A boisterous voice rang out behind Li Jihyun. The girl glanced back making the concubine and the ladyboy instantly shut up. The head is down too.


Li Jihyun's gaze turned back to look at the two soldiers earlier. "Open door. I have to check on the noble state," said Li Jihyun who was obedient to the two soldiers.


"Your highness" they said, opening the door. "Your highness concubine entered the room," said one of the soldiers loudly. Gracefully Li Jihyun entered Long Jian's room.


How did Long Jian feel to survive between life and death? the girl kept on walking. The aroma of medicine smells thick. The atmosphere of the room was very quiet despite the presence of eunuch Bo and the ladyboy. Everyone in the room pulled over and let Li Jihyun through. Even bowed respect to him. The girl's eyes stared at Long Jian's body lying helplessly. Even his breath was stuck. Seeing Long Jian's helplessness pleased him. But hidden behind his sad face. "What happened to the emperor?" li Jihyun asked in a pity. Make people around each other lyrically. Long Jian looked like a person sleeping under the influence of medicine from a healer.


Eunuch Bo took a step forward. "So far the noble state has continued to deteriorate. Even medicine cannot treat it" said eunuch Bo sadly. His eyes glanced at Long Jian. It might be karma for his bad treatment all this time, the inner eunuch Bo sighed softly.


"The poor noble. How could such a glorious condition be so bad? Though we had just met," Li Jihyun sighed heavily. Eunuch Bo's eyes immediately stared at him. While the ladies in the room exchanged lyrics. Somehow their suspicions were directed towards Li Jihyun. Plus the relationship between the two is very bad. "Why? Is something wrong?" asked Li Jihyun innocently as if she was innocent.


Eunuch head Bo was bowed again. "Ti-None is noble," said eunuch Bo slightly stuttered. His heart was beating fast too. His premonition said Li Jihyun was involved in poisoning Long Jian. Because after that Long Jian did not stop off to another place. He went back to the room, though his face was very disheveled. Even eunuch Bo accompanied Long Jian in his room.


"But what made his highness the emperor up to this?"


"The noble emperor was exposed to poison," replied eunuch Bo making Li Jihyun's heart flower. Joy cannot be said.


"God! How could? Has eunuch Bo checked everyone in the palace? We can't tell if there are criminals hurting the emperor," Li Jihyun said coldly as she glanced fiercely at the lady-in-waiting lined up behind her. The ladies were shocked even to the point of being frightened.


Eunuch Bo turned a glance towards the dayang. During this time the ladies who entered the main palace always passed through strict selection. So that not just anyone can enter. Even the average is carried out a very in-depth examination including the origin of the family. So the suspicion of eunuch Bo on the dayang was still too little. He actually doubted whether the concubine before him was a criminal or a ladyboy who had been good even betrayed?


"You need not doubt the loyalty of the lady-in-waiting of the emperor. They have been inspected and rigorously selected. So I can guarantee that," replied eunuch Bo confidently making the ladies-in-waiting sigh in relief. Their eyes twinkled staring at eunuch Bo. Li Jihyun's gaze turned to look at the eunuch Bo who was in front of her.


Li Jihyun smiled. "What makes you so sure it's eunuch Bo?" li Jihyun asked making eunuch Bo pause for a moment.


Li Jihyun let out a short breath. "alright. For that matter it is better to talk about later. There's something important to talk about. Then have you found the antidote?"


"Still not yet your highness. The healer was looking for a cure," replied eunuch Bo hiding the true facts from Li Jihyun. He thought it was better not to tell Li Jihyun. But unbeknownst to eunuch Bo it was precisely Li Jihyun herself who caused it. He who poisoned Long Jian with his own spit. During his stay in the palace he did not stop drinking the poison until it fused in his body. The girl could at will control the poison in her body. Moreover, the poison was already almost perfect.


"Then what about the affairs of the imperial government?" eunuch Bo fell silent. The middle-aged man was a little surprised. It was unexpected that the concubine before his eyes was interested in the matters of imperial politics. During this time the position of the great concubine was only limited to name. The girl showed nothing but suffering and weakness. Even the title of genius girl was starting to be doubted. Shouldn't a genius girl be able to defeat Long Jian? that was how the eunuch Bo who often followed wherever Long Jian went.


"That's why we still haven't decided on her noble concubine," replied eunuch Bo stammered. Li Jihyun sighed again.


"Please temporarily leave it to the prime minister Zhang Liu."


"Good noble concubine," eunuch Bo sighed. Somehow hearing Zhang Liu's name holding on while in power made eunuch Bo a little relieved. At least Zhang Liu was a loyal person, that was what eunuch Bo thought.


"Actually I still want to stay here. But since it's late at night I'll be back. So please take good care of the emperor's majesty," Li Jihyun's pinta made the person in the room confused.


"Have the two made up?" asked the whispering lady behind who was still heard by Li Jihyun.


"Looks like. His highness the great concubine was concerned with the noble health of the emperor," said another lady-in-waiting who was taken in agreement by her friend.


"Was their previous meeting also .." his friend hurriedly elbowed the lady-in-waiting's arm making him instantly speechless. Eunuch Bo who heard the noisy sound immediately stared intently. The heads of the ladies bowed in.


"I'm sorry for the disrespect of our ladies. I make sure this incident will not happen again" said eunuch Bo, bowing his body. He did not want any more trouble as long as Long Jian was unconscious. I don't know how long eunuch Bo could find the culprit and cure Long Jian as soon as possible. The thought of it left eunuch Bo engulfed in anxiety.


Li Jihyun stared at the glance towards them making a shocked gasp. Their heads were getting so nervous. Li Jihyun's gaze turned to look ahead. He breathed again. Then turned around and left Long Jian's room. There was nothing Li Jihyun said. Eunuch Bo was confused to see it. Why is his highness the great concubine silent? Unlike her, inner eunuch Bo.
