The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 57's

Li Jihyun lifted the spoon filled with medicinal liquid. Put it in your mouth. "Wait a minute." Hold Long Jian stopped Li Jihyun's movements. "I'll drink it myself. You don't have to bribe me" he said to grab the bowl. But with a quick movement Li Jihyun twitched. The medicinal bowl failed to be snatched by Long Jian.

Watching that, everyone in the room widened their eyes. What did his highness concubine do? How dare he prank the glorious emperor, the inner eunuch Bo was inexhaustible. Although the relationship between the two did not get along, Li Jihyun kept her ethics in front of Long Jian.

Long Jian looked at him irately. While Zhang Liu looked to be holding back a laugh. I will change my strategy to approach you Long Jian. Now I have a new plan, Li Jihyun.

"Great concubine!" long Jian snorted sharply.

"I'm sorry, your majesty. I reflexed earlier," Li Jihyun replied gently making Long Jian shudder.

What else does this crazy woman plan? thought Long Jian exasperated. The man once again grabbed his bowl but managed to dodge. Long Jian was getting more and more furious. His face was red. "I'm sorry your majesty if it's presumptuous. But all this I do is because I care about noble health. His noble body is currently in a bad state. So let me feed you," Li Jihyun persuaded.

"Give it to me. I can do it myself," Long Jian said without losing. The breath sounded.

"Maybe it's disrespectful. But please listen to me," pinta Li Jihyun who was gripped Long Jian. "Don't you say I'm your wife. You said back then that wherever I went. You will chase me even to the ends of the world."

Everyone in the room was immediately flabbergasted. Their eyes did not blink at once. "So the gossip of the emperor's majesty and his great concubine was close, right?" whispered behind them.

"Yes. Just look at the noble treatment of the great concubine to the noble emperor," said the friend next to him still whispering. The head of the lady nodded in agreement. They glanced at Li Jihyun who was still sitting on the edge of Long Jian's mattress. "So who actually poisoned the emperor's highness?" ask the lady curious.

"Many people suspect that it was the noble deed of the great concubine. But I guess the only one who suspected it was was just one person," replied his friend glancing at eunuch Bo. "You know the gossip in the palace spreads faster" he continued.

Eunuch Bo who heard a sharp snort made the head of the lady there bowed. They instantly fell silent. Eunuch Bo exhaled a rough breath. Then he looked back at Long Jian and Li Jihyun. Seen from wherever it seems like the two are in a position to get along. But eunuch Bo still suspected Li Jihyun of poisoning Long Jian.

Because only that woman was the most enemy near Long Jian. Although in his life there were many enemies of Long Jian but not as close as Li Jihyun's position. But eunuch Bo had no definitive proof of the culprit Li Jihyun. I have to investigate it myself, her mind.

"Curtain! How could you do something so shameful? Has your pestilence broken?" taunted Long Jian.

"What am I ashamed of? You are my husband. So it's only natural that I say our relationship is in front of others. I don't want people to be prejudiced against our relationship" Li Jihyun glanced at Lian who was not far from her. The sharp glances made Lian lower her gaze. The girl's heart was racing. "I'm also sorry as long as you're unconscious. I've done nothing but mena," he continued with guilt.

Long Jian's eye brows lifted. This girl must be planning something again, Inner Long Jian. "What do you mean?" long Jian asked curiously.

"Eunuch Bo if my condition suddenly deteriorates. Give the death sentence to Li Jihyun," said Long Jian who was taken by the eunuch Bo. Zhang Liu who heard started to worry. He stared fretfully at Li Jihyun.

But Li Jihyun looked relaxed. "Calm down, your majesty. There is no poison in this medicine. If your situation suddenly deteriorates I am willing to give up my life as collateral," Li Jihyun replied to Long Jian. "So what if it's time for you to take your medicine?" li Jihyun said with a big smile.

Li Jihyun painstakingly fed Long Jian. Long Jian's forehead twitched in feeling the dense smell of medicine as well as the bitter taste that tightened the tongue. But for the sake of his health to recover and clean up Li Jihyun made his spirit smolder. In an instant the medicine ran out unceasingly.

"How is the emperor's majesty? Is there something strange you feel?" ask eunuch Bo worriedly. Long Jian was silent for a while then looked at eunuch Bo.

"No," Long Jian replied looking at Li Jihyun who was smiling in satisfaction.

"I told you your honor. There is no poison in the medicine. I can guarantee that" he said with complete confidence. Not now Long Jian. First I have to get Zhi Shen done. As long as Zhi Shen is still here all my plans continue to fail. Then secondly I have a new plan for you Long Jian, inner Li Jihyun.

"Then tell me now what did you mean?"

"But can they get out first. I want to talk to you both," Li Jihyun's pinta made Long Jian's eyebrows raise.

"Your majesty I can't leave you two with your highness concubine," protested eunuch Bo who greeted the sharp glances of Li Jihyun. Buru buru eunuch Bo lowered his gaze. His body spontaneously trembled. "Ma-I'm sorry my noble concubine. I didn't mean to offend you. But all I did was to protect the emperor's majesty" continued eunuch Bo.

Long Jian waved his hands in the air. "Just calm down eunuch Bo. There were many shadows of emperors watching from here. So you don't need to worry," Long Jian said lightly.

"But your honor ..."

"Now come out. Have you not heard the great concubine saying that I am her husband? So now you guys get out. I want to speak alone with my wife," said Long Jian who was taken in by the weak eunuch Bo.

"Okay, your majesty" he said limp. "Then excuse me," said eunuch Bo, walking away from the room.

"I am also your highness," said Zhang Liu bowed respectfully then came out. Lian also did the same following Zhang Liu's footsteps leaving the room. Even the ladyboy guarding Long Jian came out.

"So my concubine what do you want to tell me?" long Jian asked making the corner of Li Jihyun's lips lift up.
