The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 69

Ctas!

The whip stripped Hai Rong's entire body. The hanfu she was wearing was torn apart. His eyelids slowly opened as he felt pain in his body. His eyes widened in shock at the sight of Li Jihyun before him. Although the lighting in the room was dim. "GET RID OF ME!" her screams were deafening. He stopped the swing of his whip. Li Jihyun screeched a glance at Lien who was standing not far from her. As if understanding the girl nodded and took out a bundle of cloth on the table. "GET RID OF ME! LEP .. hmp!" Lien stuffed Hai Rong's mouth. But he tried to break the rope. The seat rang out loud.

*ctas!

Ctas*!

The seat stopped. The whip that kept stripping his body made his movements come to a halt. Li Jihyun continued to swing the whip at Hai Rong's body. Until the woman's skin peels off and bleeds. Hai Rong's hanfu rips were increasingly exposed to the point of displaying her body. The woman's tears flowed down her cheeks. But Li Jihyun did not care and continued to wave her whip. Even the face of the woman. The aches and pains made Hai Rong's gaze nilar.

His blood was partially attached to Li Jihyun's whip. It even flowed to the floor of his room. Lien who witnessed that turned her face away. They are a suitable couple. Same crazy, Inner Lien.

Hai Rong's gaze slowly blurred. The sound around him sounded faint. But Li Jihyun continued to whip her mercilessly. He smiled smugly looking at Hai Rong who groaned in pain. His voice was stifled because of the falseness in his mouth. Please, the door is in your heart. He moved his blood-soaked body. Trying to get away again. The whip floated faster making his movement stop. The pain made his body limp helpless.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Lien's att.i.tude turned to look at the door. He glanced at the glance of Li Jihyun who was engrossed in whipping Hai Rong. Not one bit disturbed by the sound of knocking on the door. Lien sighed softly. He looked back at the door and walked towards the door.

He opened a little door. Jing stood at the door carrying the medicine that Li Jihyun had requested. "Come in," Lien said in a soft voice. Do not forget his head wobbly assuring the situation around. Seeing no one he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just calm down nobody" Jing said as he passed by Lien. Lien closed the meeting door then followed Jing who had already entered first.

Jing who saw Li Jihyun whipping the limp-dropped Hai Rong was shocked. He glanced at Lien. The dayang even raised his shoulders. Jing took a breath then approached Li Jihyun. "This noble one is the medicine you have asked for," Jing said stopping Li Jihyun's movements. The girl turned her body.

"Give it to her," pointed it towards Hai Rong whose entire body was covered in wounds. Jing glanced at Hai Rong before her head nodded. He walked over to Hai Rong. Take a lump of cloth in his mouth. The woman's dry lips spit blood. The whip must have hit him. It even included many wounds on his face. Hai Rong's face was not as smooth as it used to be. No more porcelain skin. Precisely covered in blood to contaminate the hanfu he wore.

"Please," he mumbled. Jing raised Hai Rong's head. The woman's hair was in a mess. Her eyes glared at Jing. "Help me" she asked with tears.

Jing did not care and poured the medicinal liquid over to Hai Rong. Hai Rong was about to spit it out when the liquid entered his mouth. Jing moved quickly shut Hai Rong's mouth with her hands. His eyes stared intently at Hai Rong. The woman's guts shrieked immediately. "Slow down" he said flat and cold.

"Good work," he looked at Hai Rong who was beginning to stagger. The lady's eyes were twitching firefly looking at Li Jihyun. His head feels heavy.

What drugs are being put into my body? Why do I feel sleepy? he thought before the darkness came. Mat Hai Rong was tightly closed. Li Jihyun swung her hand in the air making sure the medicine of the healer was already working. Seeing Hai Rong's lack of reaction, he smiled with satisfaction.

The medicine of the palace healer was indeed beyond doubt, his inner self. He looked towards Lien and Jing. "You take him to the basement of this pavilion. But don't get caught." The two men exchanged lyrics and nodded their heads. "Then another one if this news leaks out. Don't blame me for killing you guys," Li Jihyun snorted sharply.

Lien and Jing shuddered in horror. Recollecting Long Jian's orders ordering them to report on Li Jihyun's activities. The two men began to doubt. Plus two of their friends became Li Jihyun's victims. Even the two men did not escape the caning to death. The Long Jian that they expected to help had simply ignored him. Loyalty was slowly wavering.

"Okay, your highness. We will keep this a good secret" said Lien who immediately glimpsed Jing. His eyes seemed to imply astonishment.

"good. That's what I expect from loyal subordinates," Li Jihyun glanced at Jing. Feeling glimpsed so made Jing's head lowered in fear. Li Jihyun's gaze felt skinned them. He twisted the fidget fingers. "Now do your job. Tell the other lady not to divulge this matter," he said, who was taken by them in unison.

One by one you will feel the pain, Li Jihyun's inner gaze at the fainted Hai Rong.

...

"Long Jian's! Long Jian's!" the sound of deafening screams. The man lying down was agitated. Cold sweat keeps dripping. The shadow of a 9-year-old girl keeps appearing in her dreams. But the girl does not look like a girl in general. It looks badly injured.

"Stop bothering me," Long Jian asked in his sleep.

"Long Jian's! Long Jian's! LONG JIAN!" his shout loudly instantly woke Long Jian up. The man sat down with a deep breath. He wiped the sweat on his forehead that kept dripping.

"Damn! Nightmare again," he muttered regulating the roar of his breath. He took a breath. Closing his eyes for a moment while massaging the temple. The shadow of the little girl danced back in his mind. The 9-year-old girl smiled broadly in the middle of the flower bed. Long Jian smiled faintly. The fragrance of the flowers that smelled fragrant and the warmth of the sunlight felt real to Long Jian.

But that was a moment. Suddenly the sight that Long Jian saw changed. The girl's face was pale and many incision scars. "For you I die! Because of you! I'm .. I won't forgive you." Long Jian opened his eyes quickly. His breath roared quickly.

He massaged the painless temple suddenly. Regulating his regular breathing. His head looked up at the sky of the room. "Actually why do you keep coming to me? Go quietly Li Jianzhen," muttered Long Jian lowered his head as he rubbed his hair.
