The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 83

"Gather the remaining noble information. We must meet them immediately, ", said Li Jihyun, who is possessed by Zhang Liu.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Both of them turned towards the door. "Who?" li Jihyun asked half-calling.

"It's my majesty, Lian's lady-in-waiting." Lian answered from behind the door. Li Jihyun immediately remembered Hai Rong. He looked at Zhang Liu who was sipping tea. Zhang Liu who sensed Li Jihyun's gaze raised his head. He smiled and lowered his gaze.

"I'll excuse you, your highness," said Zhang Liu, putting the glass on the table. He got up in a hurry and walked away. The moment Zhang Liu's shoes rang out. Li Jihyun told Lian to come in.

The door is wide open. It appeared Hai Rong and Lian. The Hanfu Hai Rong wore was better than before. His body is clean and fragrant. The girl smiled with satisfaction. Hai Rong lowered his gaze. "I Hai Rong saluted his highness the great concubine," Hai Rong said forcefully. Seemed from the face of the woman who was holding back growling.

Li Jihyun sipped the remaining tea up the toilet. Then poured some more tea filled his cup. Then turned his gaze towards Hai Rong.

"Lian bring me a knife," Li Jihyun ordered Lian. Although a little confused, the lady decided not to ask. He immediately turned around and left Hai Rong and Li Jihyun.

The atmosphere in the room instantly changed. An awkward atmosphere enveloped the room. Hai Rong twisted the restless fingers. His heart asked Long Jian's plan of telling him to the room. The girl did not speak again. Hai Rong's eyes glanced at Li Jihyun who was sipping tea. I don't know how many times he poured tea into his cup. Time keeps turning. The anger that had been overflowing now evaporated so curious. He opened his mouth but hesitated.

"Hai Rong," exclaimed Li Jihyun breaking the silence. Hai Rong gasped yet still did not dare to raise his head. His sight returned.

"Yes your highness," Hai Rong replied.

"What do you think is worth proving someone's loyalty to?" li Jihyun asked sharply. Hai Rong was silent for a moment. Swallowing his saliva with great difficulty. Cold sweat also drenched the forehead. "Why silence Hai Rong? Can't you answer that?" li Jihyun asked dismissively.

Hai Rong bit his lower lip. His hands were tightly clenched. His brain thought hard. Li Jihyun's question was sort of a test to her. If he failed then his planned revenge failed. Not only will he die, but his entire family. He thought back to the fire that had befallen Xu's residence. His entire family was found dead. No human survived. Except for one person and he was Li Jihyun who was now in front of him.

Hai Rong took a breath. "The only way is to do whatever the command of the man he will be made master."

Li Jihyun smiled faintly. Sipping the tea again. "alright. Then you can prove it in front of me," Li Jihyun said staring at the door.

Kriet's!

The door is wide open. Lian entered the room while carrying the knife as Li Jihyun ordered. The dayang handed the thin and sharp object to him. Li Jihyun stared fixedly at the reflection of her shadow from the blade. He gently stroked the blade.

Li Jihyun's attention turned towards him. His hand still holds a knife. He got up from the chair. His hand grabbed onto Hai Rong's chin and lifted her forcibly.

The woman's head looked up. Their eyes meet. "You're telling me the way to prove someone's loyalty is that he's willing to do anything for his employer. So isn't the way to do that just by proving it yourself?" li Jihyun asked raising one eye eyebrow.

Hai Rong's pupils shook. Cold sweat continuously dripped. "Yes-Yes noble what do you mean? Didn't I show it to you by drinking a bottle of poison?"

"Did? Didn't you hesitate then, hm?" li Jihyun said, bringing her knife closer. Hai Rong who saw the tip of the blade approaching made his body tremble violently. A bad shadow filled his head. One thing on his head died.

Hai Rong shook his head. Eyes closed. He had to escape from Li Jihyun's grip. But it was difficult, his body could not be moved so limp in fear. Even swallowing is difficult.

Not to mention Li Jihyun's extremely strong grip made her grimace in pain. "I warned you Hai Rong. Don't ever think you can betray me so easily. I used to be too naive and stupid to think things would go well but not anymore." Hai Rong's head shook his head again. Tears also fell.

What am I supposed to do? I have to get out of here or death will come to pick me up, Inner Hai Rong thought hard.

The knife was getting closer. Hai Rong opened his eyes and was shocked. His hand held Li Jihyun's hand. Trying to let go until he clawed his hand. But let alone Li Jihyun tighten her grip.

Li Jihyun chuckled. "You think you can get rid of Hai Rong? Lian hold onto this stupid woman!" li Jihyun's orders were taken by Lian.

The dayang quickly held onto Hai Rong's two hands. That woman can't fight anymore. Hai Rong's tears poured out even more. He was scared of being killed by Li Jihyun.

The girl opened Hai Rong's mouth forcefully until it opened. Hai Rong tried to cover her mouth when she saw the knife pointed right at her mouth. Now he knew Li Jihyun's plan from the moment he told Lian to get a knife. The girl will cut off her tongue so she doesn't make any more noise.

Seeing Hai Rong trying to keep his mouth shut. Li Jihyun did not remain silent. He pulled the woman's tongue and directly cut it off. The screams sounded stifled. Blood kept flowing out.

The woman was crying loudly but her voice was unclear. Feel sick and sore. "In this way our secrets are safe" Li Jihyun laughed happily. He threw the tongue towards the nightstand. "Now the right hand." Hearing that Hai Rong made a loud revolt. He no longer wanted to lose his limbs cut off Li Jihyun. He tried to let go of Lian's hand grip but failed. Li Jihyun turned to her back.

The understanding Lian immediately pulled out her right hand. Seeing that there was an opportunity Hai Rong immediately brushed Lian's hand aside. But he had not yet let go. His right hand broke quickly. Hai Rong nanar's View. His heart suddenly stopped beating.

The woman's arm was lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Blood reminisces where it floods the stepped floor. Li Jihyun laughed out loud. "I told Hai Rong. It was pointless fighting me," sneered Li Jihyun licking the remaining blood on her knife.

Hai Rong's body collapsed and fell. He stared at his arm on the floor.
