The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 80's

"Please! Please let me go," Hai Rong's pinta in a groggy tone. His body is getting thinner. The bones protrude from her dull skin and many scars. Fresh blood seeped out. The whip was continuously floating about his body. It's been two days that the woman's been locked up. The woman's face also had many scars and bruises. The breath sounded.

"Actually I don't want to do it either," Li Jihyun said twitching her shoulders. Her clenched fingers grabbed onto Hai Rong's chin. He gripped her firmly until it made the woman grimace in pain. He forcefully lifted Hai Rong's face until their eyes met. Next to the corner Li Jihyun lifted made Hai Rong's body shiver. "This is not how Hai Rong is yet," added Li Jihyun releasing her grip violently.

"Lien come here," Li Jihyun told Lien. That dayang who had been in the corner of the warehouse had approached Li Jihyun. In his hand was a bucket full of water. The dayang walked over and put the bucket down. "Detach Hai Rong's bond," ordered Li Jihyun who was again taken by Lien.

He untied Hai Rong's rope. As soon as it detached Hai Rong's body fell drooping from the chair. His whole body felt limp after two days of not eating anything. He breathed a sigh of relief. Her dry lips revealed a smile. The torture he endured has ended. But his heart still holds a grudge. "Yes-Yang excellency concubine thank you for letting me go" he said gratefully. Hmph! You stupid concubine! Once freed I will avenge the pain suffered by this twofold. I will definitely not let you get away with Li Jihyun, Inner Hai Rong.

Next to Li Jihyun's eyebrows shot up. He reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle with a purplish-colored liquid. Hai Rong's forehead frowned in astonishment at the bottle in Li Jihyun's hand. The bottle was opened and the liquid inside was poured into the bucket. His eyes glanced at Lien who was standing behind Hai Rong. Their eyes meet each other. Lien rolled her hanfunya arm up to the elbow. As soon as Li Jihyun's head nodded, Lien grabbed onto Hai Rong's hair.

Before Hai Rong realized Li Jihyun's plan. The woman screamed loudly while continuing to thrash with the rest of her energy. The woman's hair was pulled by Lien towards the bucket not far from them. The shout sank into the water in the bucket that had been mixed with the purple liquid earlier.

The woman's head was thrown inside. Water froths seemed to fill the bucket. Li Jihyun who was watching smiled satisfiedly. The woman's hand continued to wriggle hoping to escape Lien's grip. But how hard he tried especially with the rest of his inadequate energy made it difficult. Plus the oxygen in the thinning bucket. Seeing that Hai Rong's hands were not revolting anymore, Lien raised Hai Rong's head.

The woman's breath gaped. His gaze puskered at Li Jihyun who was still standing in front of him. Suddenly his skin burned. Again the woman screamed. Li Jihyun giggled at Hai Rong's suffering. "ARGH! It hurts!" his screams hold a face. Her tears came out in pain. Slowly Hai Rong's face blistered. Skin peeling. Hai Rong screamed hysterically until her voice was raucous. "Thank you my majesty. Forgive me," he said on the sidelines sobs.

"Again? Heh? It's not that easy as Hai Rong," Li Jihyun said in a dismissive tone. Hai Rong's tears grew more and more violent and her crying voice rang out.

"Yet your majesty. Forgive me," she cried. He crawled close to Li Jihyun's feet but kicked her violently. Hai Rong did not know what else to do. Li Jihyun was not that easy to give him forgiveness. Hai Rong never thought the girl would torture him to the point of almost taking her life. His fingers squeezed the cold, rough floor. He injured his nails until he bled.

"disgusting! How dare you touch me," Li Jihyun said kicking Hai Rong's weak body. The woman slammed until her back hit the wall. He coughed until he spit blood. His body feels crumpled. He's curled up in pain. "Tsk! You just fall down immediately. It's really very weak" Li Jihyun added.

"No, your honor! Nah! Don't do this! Forgive me," he asked half a scream. But neither Lien nor Li Jihyun cared at all. Lien raised both arms of Hai Rong lightly. Hai Rong's thin body made her weight light. Once again he tried to rebel even though his efforts were in vain.

Lien managed to sit Hai Rong down without being disturbed by Hai Rong's movements. The woman moved her legs until she fell to the floor. His fast hunting breath felt pain in his elbows and knees. Lien raised Hai Rong's arm. "You better not fight anymore or your highness the great concubine will give you a heavier punishment" Lien threatened.

"No! Off! Your Excellency I will do whatever you want to free me," Hai Rong half-screamed. Li Jihyun's eye brows lifted.

"Stop Lien." The movement of Lien that pulled Hai Rong sitting in the chair came to a halt. The girl in front of them smiled faintly. Hai Rong breathed a sigh of relief. This torment will soon be over and he will be free, just like Hai Rong thought without knowing Li Jihyun's intentions behind.

I just need to obey the noble will of the great concubine to be free from here. Then after coming out I will directly send the hitman to kill him, Inner Hai Rong smiled cunningly without realizing Li Jihyun's attention. The girl immediately knew Hai Rong's wishes.

Hmph! A sly woman. He thought I didn't know the contents of his narrow mind, Li Jihyun's inner covering half of his face.

"Your majesty believes in me right? I will do whatever you want to let me go" he said with confidence. Li Jihyun was silent for a moment.

"alright. But before that ..." Li Jihyun paused her sentence. He reached into his pocket again and took out a small bottle. The liquid in the bottle was very clear. He shook the bottle in front of Hai Rong's face. "... You have to drink this liquid to prove your loyalty to me," Li Jihyun continued making Hai Rong gulp down with difficulty. He stared at the bottle in Li Jihyun's hand.

"Why? Don't you want to drink it?" li Jihyun asked ridiculing him. "Meaning you should be confined even longer in this basement," he said making Hai Rong in a dilemma. He hesitatedly stared at the clear liquid in the bottle.

Is it poison? thought Hai Rong. He looked at Li Jihyun's face. The girl was still casually waiting for Hai Rong's decision. Once again he swallowed. But if I don't drink it, the noble concubine must be suspicious. Dying in a cellar is a bad choice without having time to avenge. If I get out of here. I can give the information to dad, his inner self again.
