The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 81

"How about Hai Rong? Do you keep drinking it?" li Jihyun asked still shaking the bottle. Hai Rong gulped. His hands were hesitant.

"I will drink it noble," Hai Rong replied making a smile on Li Jihyun's lips.

Li Jihyun gave the bottle to Hai Rong's hand. Jemari Hai Rong trembled tightly holding the bottle. "Help him sit down," Li Jihyun ordered that Lien be taken in. The dayang raised both arms of Hai Rong. He also leaned Hai Rong's body against the wall. Li Jihyun continued to pay attention to Hai Rong who was still staring at the bottle in the hand.

He's still hesitating. But feeling Li Jihyun's sharp eyes forced her to drink the contents of the bottle. In one gulp the contents of the bottle was immediately toilet. His heart is beating fast. Anxiety and fear struck his feelings waiting for the reaction of the liquid in the bottle. Longitudinal. Nothing's going on. Right after Hai Rong heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly his whole body felt hot. He fell down. The moaning from his lips. His breath was puffing. Sweat wetting the entire body. Li Jihyun who saw Hai Rong's reaction smiled widely. The medicine reacted long enough but this was more than enough, Li Jihyun's inner self.

Lien who had been paying attention since then started glancing at Li Jihyun. He never thought that the girl in front of him could get a lot of medicine from the healer easily, that was what Lien thought. Only the doctor has a medical license. But unbeknownst to others the medicine was concocted by Li Jihyun himself. Although several times he met with failure until finally succeeded. It was just that the girl did not show in front of others. He did it in his room.

Even Li Jihyun routinely drank poison. Ever since the incident he had fainted because of the anesthetic given by Long Jian. Li Jihyun did not want all of that to happen again. He was still continuously consuming poison so that his body was immune.

Hai Rong's eyes looked at Li Jihyun. Seeing the smile on the girl's lips made the anger in Hai Rong's heart flare. He crawled with the rest of his energy. But only twice the heat moved back to sting his skin. You sly fox! It must be poison. Did I eventually die?, Inner Hai Rong. Hai Rong's gaze grew increasingly blurry. Until darkness enveloped.

Li Jihyun walked over and crouched down in front of Hai Rong. The woman's eyes were tightly closed. Li Jihyun extended her fingers towards Hai Rong's nose. Checking his breath. The drug reaction was stronger than expected. But thankfully he was still alive, Li Jihyun's inner self rose.

Hai Rong's blistered skin slowly formed new skin. Including the whip marks that disappeared from all over Hai Rong's body. The woman's skin was clean and white. To make Lien's eyes widen in shock. So that was medicine? But what kind of medicine could instantly heal a wound? thought Lien.

Not long after Hai Rong's eyes opened. He was inching backwards so surprised. The view around him is still the same. He thought he was already in the afterlife. But something strange felt on his body. He doesn't feel pain. Slowly he touched her face and saw her hands and feet that were clean from the wounds. His eyes widened in shock at seeing his own body.

How can you heal so quickly? Am I dreaming? inner Hai Rong was full of question marks.

"How about Hai Rong? Is your body better?" asked Li Jihyun who was still standing in front of him. He crossed his arms. Staring haughtily at Hai Rong.

Hai Rong's head looked up. He gulped as he looked at Li Jihyun's eyes. Soon the woman was calm. "Thank you, your great concubine has treated me. It's an honor for me" Hai Rong said. Even though the woman's face showed confusion. I thought I was gonna die. But it turns out he healed me. Good, if he helps me. I can escape from here and avenge the pain experienced, his mind.

"I will pay for the medicine no matter what," Hai Rong said. Is the medicine expensive? Until the noble concubine is not willing, he thought.

Li Jihyun shook her head. He exhaled a rough breath. "Tsk! Stupid noble," maki Li Jihyun made Hai Rong look at her in confusion. "Let me explain Hai Rong. You will not be able to pay for the medicine with anything. The medicine you're taking is a deadly poison."

Hai Rong's eyes widened. The poison? Goddamnit! I'm tricked. Damn woman, maki Hai Rong in heart. The woman clenched her hands so angry.

"But take it easy. As long as you obey my orders. You're not gonna die. One more thing I added if I die then you will also die," Li Jihyun said with a big smile. Hai Rong flabbergasted. His life depended on Li Jihyun. He can't act recklessly or he's dead.

Li Jihyun clapped her hands slowly making her voice echo. "Lien cleaned Hai Rong and brought her to my room" Li Jihyun's command.

"Okay noble," Lien replied immediately approaching Hai Rong. Li Jihyun smiled smilingly looking at the look on Hai Rong's confused face. He left the basement room on the right. The sound of his footsteps resounded in the underground room.

...

The sound of cheers on the training ground resounded. There were many soldiers who were practicing using weapons. Long Jian stood on the balcony while watching them. The day he was waiting for was coming soon. No more obstacles could interfere with his plans. He will go to war and expand his realm. That was the goal of Long Jian now.

"I am Zhang Liu facing the emperor's majesty" said Zhang Liu who appeared behind Long Jian. The man looked at it briefly then refocused his eyes forward.

He reached out his hand towards Zhang Liu. The glasses man handed the paper scroll to her. "The nobles agreed to send each of their troops to fight," added Zhang Liu who greeted Long Jian's deheman. The man was busy reading the contents of the scroll. There are many names that will go to war this time. She smiled at the sumringah.

"Goodoo. They still have brains compared to great concubines" Long Jian rolled up the paper and gave it to Zhang Liu. "How's the girl doing? Does he still want to take the throne from me?" long Jian asked dismissively.

"Not your highness. I think it's just a noble boast of the great concubine," Zhang Liu told a lie. It was impossible for him to say that Li Jihyun was gathering support from the eastern and western factions. It would definitely threaten the life of Li Jihyun as well as her.

"Just talk arrogant. But he was nothing more than dregs," Long Jian sneered softly. "After returning from the war I will lower his position before everyone. In order for him to know who the ruler here is," Long Jian added confidently.
