The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 62

That night Li Jihyun came home with her eyes. All the pairs of eyes of the ladies glanced at him. Whispers could be heard filling the palace hallway as Li Jihyun passed by. Especially when looking at the hand marks on the girl's cheeks. His head was down as long as he walked. Even though behind her hair was hidden a sly smile.

Before he went back to the palace. The first thing to do was to bury the dagger near Xu's residence. He also set Xu's house on fire so as not to leave a trace. The Hanfu she was wearing was also forcefully torn. Although he had previously cleaned the hanfu from the blood spots. He also tied his hands and feet tightly to cause marks. As the flames grew higher he came out from the direction of the back shed while shouting hysterically.

The people who were around the Xu residence were surprised to see Li Jihyun's appearance. The girl cried out in a deep cry. His body looks dirty and messy. Hair that is usually neatly arranged is now turning messy. Making the people have a skewed opinion about the Xu family.

Li Jihyun who was asked was only silent a thousand languages. She kept crying until it was hard to communicate. Some people took the initiative to extinguish the flames that soared. Then there were the people who helped Li Jihyun. He sent her back to the palace. The moment he arrived at the palace instantly caused a stir. Even Hai Rong's concubine was stunned to see Li Jihyun's appearance.

What exactly is going on? Why is the noble appearance of the grand concubine so messy? Is this the work of the Xu family? hai Rong thought he was overwhelmed with many questions. Such was the reaction of the palace dwellers once Li Jihyun entered the palace and the concubine pavilion.

Li Jihyun let out a rough breath as soon as she entered her room. He shut the door shut and even locked it so that no one would come in.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Your great concubine" called someone behind the door. Li Jihyun's head swiftly faced the door. He's clearing slowly.

"Who's there?" li Jihyun asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's my majesty, Lian." Right behind the door. Li Jihyun was silent for a moment then smiled faintly.

"What's Lian about? Today I don't want to be met by anyone" he replied in a hoarse voice. His eyes were staring at the door that was still closed.

"But your highness this great concubine is important," replied Lian gulping her hard-earned saliva. The tail of his eyes glanced at someone behind him. That person continued to watch Lian arrogantly.

"Leave me alone. I don't need anyone" Li Jihyun said in a high tone. A little made Lian flinch in shock. His eyes once again glanced at someone behind him. He even glared when he realized Lian's glance.Make the lady again focus in front of the door.

"But your Excellency ..."

"Tell her concubine Hai came to visit," Hai Rong's hardik cut Lian's words.

Holy hooch! How'this? Concubine Hai, has she gone crazy? thought Lian. "I'm sorry concubine Hai but for the time being your highness concubine doesn't want to meet anyone, so I hope you can come next time" Lian said bowing respectfully. The girl had already turned her body right opposite Hai Rong. There was a snort from Hai Rong.

Hmh! This time I can't get anything else, Hai Rong's inner grunt. "alright. Give my regards to your highness the great concubine," Hai Rong said in a stern tone.

"Come, we go Fen." Said Hai Rong who was taken by Fen. Before leaving Hai Rong stomped his feet. Then go away followed by Fen behind him. Seeing Hai Rong and Fen move away, Lian immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

"Thank God there's no problem" he rubbed his chest. His gaze now turned to stare at Li Jihyun's tightly shut room door. What happened to the grand concubine? Why did he come home in such a mess? lian's mind while exhaling a rough breath. He turned right and left the door of Li Jihyun's room.

While Li Jihyun herself when she heard the sound of knocking Lian shoes away. The girl smiled with satisfaction. "It's a pity that you're from a different camp," he muttered opening the hanfu and replacing the new one. "It's time to play Long Jian," he continued muttering as he sumringah.

....

The night has greeted the empire again. Since her return from the Xu residence the girl did not come out of her room. Gossip from the ladies. Some said Li Jihyun's behavior had become strange. The girl seemed to have a bad incident to make her fall. Maybe even experienced trauma.

The gossip continued to spread all the way to Long Jian's ears. The man returned to work as usual. Although the rest of his work was assisted by Zhang Liu. "What did that girl do?" long Jian asked looking at the eunuch Bo who was standing right in front of him. Eunuch Bo's gaze continued to bow with uneasiness. This is shocking news in the palace.

"Sa-I don't know more definitely the noble one," replied eunuch Bo as he was.

Buk up!

The table that separated the distance between eunuch Bo and Long Jian was hit hard by him. It gave rise to the sound of a punch that shocked the eunuch Bo. The middle-aged man's head was getting bowed. His knees were shaking slowly.

"Basar useless eunuchs. Looking for that information alone you cannot," Long Jian replied making the body of Eunuch Bo tremble even more. The breath sounds rough. Jemari Long Jian combed her dark hair.

"Take that ladyboy or whoever to my room. I must immediately prepare to meet the grand concubine," he said, obeyed eunuch Bo. The man turned around and left the room. While Long Jian once again exhaled a rough breath. His face seemed to be bent so upset. What are your plans this time, stupid girl? inner Long Jian.

Shortly entered the room. After saying his regards to Long Jian. Deftly the ladyboy helped Long Jian change clothes. The reddish-colored Hanfu with the golden dragon symbol behind her hanfunya seemed to light up under the moonlight. After being helped dressed, Long Jian walked out. His condition has improved more than before.

So there was no obstacle for him to meet Li Jihyun who was a little far from the main palace. He walked with Bo's lady-in-waiting and eunuch. The man walked arrogantly under the moonlight. "Your majesty, didn't you have dinner first?" asked eunuch Bo who was behind Long Jian.

The tail of his eyes glanced sharply at Eunuch Bo making the man close his mouth tightly. His head was also down. Long Jian snorted and continued walking. Little did not intend to recite the words of eunuch Bo.

They continued to walk through the passageway connecting between the main palace and the concubine pavilion. Along the way the night wind blows. Eunuch Bo stared worriedly at Long Jian. But the man showed no coldness or shivering. He continued walking with steady steps. Sia in vain I worry about your majesty, inner eunuch Bo.
