The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 7's

Eunuch Bo swallowed his hard-earned saliva. “Ma-I'm sorry Yona. I insulted you earlier,” Kasim Bo said making Yona freeze. Damn girl I will repay you later, Eunuch Bo wrote in his heart.

“Yona did you forgive her?” li Jihyun asked looking at the dumb-ass Yona. The girl gasped as she realized Li Jihyun's gaze.

“Iya miss. I've forgiven him,” said Yona quickly. He did not want Eunuch Bo to take revenge on Li Jihyun.

“Good. Now lift your head and lead me to meet the emperor's majesty,” Li Jihyun said making Yona's eyes immediately sparkle.

“I will decorate you first,” said Yona excitedly but was shaken by Li Jihyun. Makes him instantly moody.

“No need. I only met him for a moment. So do not need to do anything troublesome,” refused Li Jihyun turn her attention to Eunuch Bo. Eunuch Bo patted the dust plump that was attached to his clothes. In his heart he did not stop cursing at Li Jihyun's insolent attitude. But Li Jihyun did not care in the slightest. He even grinned widely.

“Quick! If it's a little late I'll complain to your highness. You do not forget that the emperor's punishment is absolute,” Li Jihyun's tease makes Kasim Bo's face paled. He immediately accelerated his movements. While Li Jihyun smiled faintly. Not bad either, the mind is sumringah.

“No-Miss you should keep the attitude during your noble meeting. You listened to me, right?” pinta Yona with a face.

“Good. I'm being pretty good, right? That doesn't matter. Now I go first,” said Li Jihyun walking in the footsteps of Kasim Bo who first left. Throughout the hall some of the ladies who witnessed the scene of Eunuch Bo prostrating on the concubine called the prisoner of the emperor became a warm rumor. All the busy ladies were in whispered bisils while glancing towards them.

Eunuch Bo could only lower his gaze in embarrassment. Holy hooch! May his gossip not spread to his noble ears, his prayer inwardly as he continued to walk. Sometimes his eyes glanced back. The girl looked very relaxed despite walking under the gaze of the crowd. They are a crazy couple. What if concubine Li becomes empress? Oh, I hope that doesn't happen. Imagining this country chaotic alone scares me, his mind rubbed the bristling fur.

Why did Long Jian call me? Seems like there's a problem? Does this have anything to do with the idea of tackling drought? Thought Li Jihyun rubbed her chin. Kasim Bo's steps had stopped right in front of the hall door. He glanced at Li Jihyun who was still holding her chin as if thinking hard. But the sound of Kasim Bo's steps did not sound the girl spontaneously stopped. He looked at Kasim Bo questioningly. Eunuch Bo took a breath.

“Concubine Li Jihyun came to face the noble Emperor Long Jian,” cried Eunuch Bo made the girl next to him instantly turn a deaf ear. Eunuch Bo exhaled and opened the door. Don't forget he's bowing respectfully.

“Please enter concubine Li. His majesty is already waiting for you,” Li Jihyun entered a very spacious hall. A place that is usually used for meetings with officials or ministers. In a quiet and slightly bright room from a distance someone sat in the singasana.

Li Jihyun immediately bowed respectfully. Although he was reluctant. “Good morning, glorious emperor. My concubine Li Jihyun came to face you,” greet Li Jihyun politely.

“I've already said the idea you've conveyed. But you remember our agreement?” long Jian asked propping up his chin. His eyes that were as dark as night stared intently. The girl smiled and raised her head. Staring with the emperor directly could be punished severely. Moreover, the emperor was Long Jian who was famous as a tyrant. Even he wouldn't hesitate to kill ministers loyal to him. Just because of a small mistake.

Long Jian smirked. His face had turned dark. “How dare a lowly concubine like you raise your head without my command?” long Jian said with a high tone. His hands clenched tightly hitting the handle of the singasana. Li Jihyun sighed while shaking her head.

“I'm sorry I've acted presumptuously noble. But as a future grand concubine. Isn't my head inappropriate to keep looking down?” li Jihyun asked in a mocking tone. Long Jian clenched his jaws tightly. The sound of teeth being heard.

“Good. If the plan fails. I remind you to prepare for death,” threatened to make Li Jihyun smile.

He is still a child. The threat alone was always the same as yesterday, Li Jihyun's inner gaze stared at Long Jian's prahatian.

Getting Li Jihyun's gaze that underestimated him made him even more riled up. The more left he was the more brash he acted. Is he not afraid of me one bit? Long Jian growled inwardly. His eyes could not be seen by Li Jihyun.

“If no one wants to say again I'm sorry first,” said Li Jihyun bowed and turned around.

“Li Jihyun who told you to go?” long Jian asked to stop Li Jihyun's footsteps. His head was turned back.

“Isn't our business done?” li Jihyun asked casually. Don't forget his smile on his lips.

Arrogant girl! What exactly made him this brave to challenge me? Is he not afraid of death? But if he dies then my efforts to conquer this country become in vain, Inner Long Jian began to be frustrated. “You ... you .. only captive concubines. How desperate you are against me who is the emperor. Are you not afraid that your actions will affect people around?” long Jian asked with a sly smile. His eyes lifted next to.

Li Jihyun was silent. His hands were tightly clenched. He shouldn't have cared if this country was destroyed or not. It's none of his business anyway. Even the previous emperor did it merely as a formality to keep his supporters safe. But he's who's not who for the empire. Just because he was worshipped as a god who solved all the problems made him also participate in the fight only to save the remaining people. When did that feeling appear? He used to not care a bit. As long as he's paid he'll kill anyone without mercy. But for the first time in life.

He feels he has to protect someone like Yona. And some of the supporters of the previous emperor were still hiding somewhere. Also the innocent people who still had to be protected from the massacre of the mad emperor in front of him.
