The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 88's

Two days later weathered hordes of nobles came to the concubine pavilion. Invited many pairs of eyes towards the horde. Raised a variety of questions on the heads of the palace occupants. But when the horde leads to the hall located near the grand concubine's room.

The question they immediately silenced and turned into a statement that the gossip of the great concubine seizing the throne was true. Not just a threat. The gathered dayang immediately whispered to each other. That sounds like a bee hum.

The steps of the nobles stopped seeing Lian. "Welcome to the honorable nobles. Please sign. Her majesty the great concubine awaits your arrival," welcome Lian who stands before the hall. He's bowing his body. The eyes of the nobles were lyrically interlocking. And then not long nodding his head.

"Take us in" said one of the mob. Chief Lian nodded politely.

"Please come with me" he said as polite as possible. He walked first which was followed by the hordes of nobles. Their steps arrived before a thin curtain. From behind the curtain there was a shadow of a woman. It was not clear if his face was covered with curtains. Makes the nobles think hard. "Her Majesty the grand concubine of the noble gang entered the hall," said Lian from behind the curtain.

"Take them here" Li Jihyun said.

"Okay, my majesty" he answered obediently. He pulled the thin red curtain. A glance towards the nobles. "Please enter ladies and gentlemen. His highness the great concubine is waiting for you," said Lian with a downcast look.

They exchanged lyrics again before stepping in. One by one the gangs were behind the curtain. They bowed respectfully when faced with Li Jihyun. The girl wearing red hanfu was already sitting casually in front of them.

"You must be tired. Please sit. I've prepared some tea and some snacks that we can enjoy" Li Jihyun bargained with a friendly smile.

"Thank you for your kindness" said one of the mob before sitting at a table. There's a lot of food in store. Looks tempting and delicious. The nobles are lyrically against each other. The glint of fear in their black eyes could not be hidden from Li Jihyun's sight. The girl smiled faintly taking the teacup.

They must have been suspicious and asked why they were invited here. Especially now that the emperor was not in the palace, Li Jihyun's inner self inhaled the aroma of tea. He exhaled slowly. His head was raised and the gaze pointed towards the nobles who were still afraid.

None of them touched drinks or food on the table. "Please taste the food and drinks at the table. Don't hesitate," Li Jihyun bargained with a clumsy smile.

"Thank you your highness for the banquet" said one of the noble hordes. A young man who had been speaking from earlier represented the horde of nobles. Li Jihyun moved her hand in the air. Signs told the young man to taste the tea first.

The young man's eyes glanced at the puff of smoke from the teacup. His jakun looks up and down. "Just relax there is no poison in it," Li Jihyun said with a laugh making the young man smile clumsily.

Does it look that clear? thought the young man grabbed the teacup. His eyes glanced at the nobles who were staring at him. They seem to be waiting for something. He breathed heavily. Don't tell me they made the tastemaker, the young man's mind is upset. He brought his cup of tea closer.

The fragrant aroma of tea made the young man involuntarily smile. He took a little. As soon as the tea liquid was in his mouth. The young man's eyes sparkled. His body seemed to float away feeling the pleasure of tea. The taste of the tea that could not be explained with words made the young man once again unconsciously exhaust it.

"Enak. No. gabe. It's very tasty. Until I can't explain how delicious this tea is," said the young man, making the nobles immediately turn to staring at their tea cups.

Li Jihyun laughed softly. "of course. I got the tea from abroad. In a very far country," Li Jihyun said made them mangut mangut. "Well, don't be afraid. Please enjoy. Today's tea and snacks are served to all of you," Li Jihyun said, causing the nobles to begin to dare to sip the tea served on the table. Plus the young man who represented them did not experience any peculiarities.

Even he was now picking up the cookies Li Jihyun was serving. His face enjoyed the cake.

The noble's reaction was the same as that young man. The delicious taste of the tea made them not stop praising Li Jihyun. The girl is seen enjoying it until the food and drinks are over.

The hordes of nobles look full. They thanked Li Jihyun a lot. "Sorry noble concubine grand if I ask presumptuously," said the young man again as soon as the dishes had run out.

The young man glanced at the other horde of nobles. They slightly nodded their heads making the young man catch his breath. "I am Lu Tiong representing the horde wanting to ask you what do you mean to invite us here?" ask the young man named Lu Tiong.

Li Jihyun smiled faintly. He shifted his sitting position that was originally leaning now leaning forward. The girl shrugs her chin. "Are you going to support me if you become emperor?" li Jihyun asked directly to the core which shocked all the noble hordes. They cried out to hear it.

"What does it mean that the noble concubine wants to overthrow the glorious throne of the emperor?" asked Lu Tiong to make sure. To be honest he was afraid that the girl in front of them was nodding her head.

"Do you doubt me to be emperor?" li Jihyun asked making Lu Tiong speechless. The girl looked at him fixedly waiting for Lu Tiong's reply.

"Your highness concubine, I'm sorry to interrupt. How can a woman become an emperor? The sky will be angry if the noble is reckless to be emperor," interrupted the old woman who sat in the corner of the hall.

Li Jihyun's attention turned towards him. But the old lady was not afraid. Although his gaze was bowed but the courage he had felt flared up.

"I don't care if I can become an emperor. Now choose between supporting me to become emperor or Long Jian?" li Jihyun asked causing a commotion. One of the two hordes began to associate with the gossip that sounded horrendous in the palace.

The position of emperor was threatened by Li Jihyun. The gossip even seeped into Long Jian's ears. But the man didn't care and let it go. Not considered a great danger. Where is the female emperor? The average position is given to men. That was what Long Jian had in mind.

The old woman got up first making all eyes on her. So did Li Jihyun. "I'm sorry, your majesty. I refuse to support you," she refused to turn her back.

"You will regret rejecting me" said Li Jihyun, who was ignored by the woman. The old lady was about to pull the curtain. But suddenly a sharp object pierced the woman's neck making her head fall over. The blood splashed out giving rise to another noise of excitement.
