The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 55's

"This may sound presumptuous, your majesty. But do you intend war?" zhang Liu asked curiously.

"Maybe this sounds strange. But I have a debt to them," Li Jihyun said making Zhang Liu's forehead wrinkle. So did Lian who had been listening since.

What debt of gratitude does noble mean? Didn't the noble and the Xu family never interact? ask Lian inwardly. I will report this to his highness the emperor later, inwardly again.

A debt of gratitude? Does this have anything to do with his highness being released from prison? guess Zhang Liu. The rumors circulating in the palace were not entirely a lie. In order to free Li Jihyun, Hai Rong offered cooperation with the Xu family. With the payment of giving Li Jihyun as a prisoner. Hai Rong who felt meritorious also gave the Xu family cooperation back to Long Jian. Thanks to that Li Jihyun's whip sentence was revoked.

Although Li Jihyun was grateful thanks to Hai Rong's help she was released. But still the girl was upset. It turned out that Hai Rong was using herself to go upstairs. The image of the concubine in an instant screeched as a good concubine. People don't know anything behind it all. Moreover, the person offered the cooperation was the daughter of the family he killed. It's clear he's not gonna get away with it that easily.

"The debt is still owed by Mr. Zhang. How big or small the number," continued Li Jihyun who responded to Zhang Liu's mangut mangut.

"But can't you send a jewel? You are the great concubine. No one dares to refuse your reward" Zhang Liu suggested, which Li Jihyun held up.

"can't. You may not have heard the rumors about me killing the Xu family's daughter." Zhang Liu cleared his throat softly as he fixed his glasses. He recalled the rumors circulating in the palace.

The newly appointed grand concubine killed concubine Xu at a tea banquet. The news was heard all over the palace. Even Long Jian came to Li Jihyun to directly punish her. Because that's why he can't go to war. It needs military forces from the Xu family.

"I'm sorry, your majesty. I was too narrow-minded," said Zhang Liu, who was returned by Li Jihyun.

"No problem. Besides, like I said yesterday, we need to strengthen our military. We never know when the opponent will attack" said Li Jihyun, who was taken by Zhang Liu.

The wind chirping wiggles the curtains. Li Jihyun's eyes stared out the window. The same and familiar scenery during his stay in the palace. Lush trees and flowers that grow on the edge of the palace courtyard. It's all so beautiful. But Li Jihyun recalled her meeting with Zhi Shen. Curiosity enveloped his heart. Is Zhi Shen a ghost? Why is his body broken? thought Li Jihyun was curious to the point of not realizing Zhang Liu's gaze. Since then Zhang Liu was about to ask about the scarf wrapped around Li Jihyun's neck. But always close because from earlier they discussed the matter of the palace.

Lian who had been watching Zhang Liu's movements began to become suspicious. Is it possible that master Zhang and his highness concubine have a relationship? inner Lian while stealing a look towards them.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Li Jihyun and Zhang Liu's heads turned to the door. Li Jihyun's eyes glanced at Zhang Liu questioningly. But the glasses guy shook his head. "Who?" asked the man slightly raised his voice.

"This is Mr. Zhang. Eunuch Bo," replied eunuch Bo from behind the door. Zhang Liu ber oh slowly.

"Come in."

Kriet's!

"Thank your head eunuch Bo," said Li Jihyun who was obeyed by the eunuch Bo. He immediately raised his head and looked at Zhang Liu.

Eunuch Bo's eye-tailed glanced at the little Li Jihyun who was sitting casually. Spelled there's a book of palace financial statements. Eunuch Bo's forehead wrinkled. What noble grand concubine took over the palace's financial statements? think eunuch Bo.

"What's eunuch Bo here for?" zhang Liu asked, awakening eunuch Bo from the daydream.

"Your majesty the emperor is already conscious," replied eunuch Bo smiling sumringah. His face that was originally glistening looked glowing. Everyone in the room was shocked.

"A-What? Your highness the emperor is conscious?" zhang Liu asked straight up from the chair. His face looked hard.

"Yes. His highness had already come to his senses and called you to his room," replied eunuch Bo making Li Jihyun's body freeze.

How could he be conscious? Isn't .. There is no other medicine that can treat it. How could? Where is the error? li Jihyun's mind was filled with a barrage of questions. His brain thought quickly to find the cause of the problem. "How is he doing now?" li Jihyun asked to divert the attention of eunuch Bo.

"For the moment the noble body is still limp."

Damnit damnit! How could? That's the deadly poison I used. But why is he dead? He should be dead by now. There is no medicine that can remove the poison. I broke the bottle too. But why fail? Is my poison less powerful? Or ...

Li Jihyun immediately remembered someone. He held onto the neck covered in a velvet scarf that was worn. Even though it looks strange. It's the only way to cover the wound on his neck. He couldn't show the scar to anyone else. His jaw tightened. The sound of teeth grinding.

"Then I'll go there. Your highness my great concubine excuse me first," said Zhang Liu immediately walking out.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Liu's steps came to a halt. He turned his body. The girl stood up straight. He immediately caught up with Zhang Liu who was six steps away from him. He stood right in front of Zhang Liu. The man immediately bowed respectfully. "I'll come with you guys," he exclaimed firmly staring at eunuch Bo and Zhang Liu alternately.

"Okay noble concubine," replied the eunuchs Bo and Zhang Liu in unison. Li Jihyun walked first followed by the eunuchs Bo, Lian and Zhang Liu. The four people walked through the palace hallway towards the emperor's room.

Li Jihyun's mind was tangled. I have not enjoyed the palace life. There's been chaos. Though he wished Long Jian never woke up again. Fail again! Fail again! it's in the heart.

They kept walking and then turned at the crossroad. Back straight ahead through the vast palace garden. Turn again near the neatly arranged pillar. This time they had already arrived before the door of Long Jian's room. The two soldiers stood at the door.

"We greet the noble concubine," said the two men in unison.
