The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 89

The noise sounded boisterous. The horde of nobles screeched in fear. The headless body fell down making a burst of blood flood the floor.

One two nobles resisted nausea. They turned their faces. The horde of nobles was about to run away but stopped. Seeing that old lady dead was enough to scare them. No one got up. Suddenly their knees were weak. Lu Tiong froze. This incident happened very quickly. "Hows it? Are you guys resisting now?" li Jihyun asked staring at them.

A smile on her lips. They gulped. Then he nodded in fear. So was Lu Tiong. His body was covered in cold sweat.

"A good choice. I hope you guys don't play behind my back," Li Jihyun threatened their quick-natured embrace.

"Yes, your majesty" they answered in unison, though they were broken.

"Lian," Li Jihyun exclaimed in a loud voice. Lian who was behind the door immediately appeared. A little surprised to see the headless corpse lying down. But Lian kept walking past the corpse. He bowed respectfully. "Bring our guests home," Li Jihyun's commanding Lian obediently instructed.

"Okay, your highness. Let's follow me" he said, making them rise soon.

"Thank you for the banquet you gave," said Lu Tiong representing the horde of nobles. "We'll excuse you first" said Lu Tiong.

"of course. But you remember what I said, right?" Li Jihyun's eyes focused on looking straight ahead made Lu Tiong and the other horde nervous.

"Te-Of course. We will always remember" Lu Tiong replied. Li Jihyun flicked her hands in the air making the horde of nobles instantly go following Lian's footsteps.

There was a sound of Lian's footsteps and the horde of nobles drifting away. "Lien! Jing! Come here," called Li Jihyun in a loud voice.

Kriet's!

The sound of the door creaking could be heard indicating that someone was entering. Lien and Jing appeared before Li Jihyun. "Darang Lien greeted his noble concubine," Lien greeted politely. He bowed respectfully.

"Darang Jing greeted his noble concubine grand," Jing greeted politely. He bowed respectfully as Lien did. At first glance, the two ladies turned towards the corpse. The smell of blood was smelled but ignored by them. They focused on Li Jihyun.

"Dispose the corpse," pointed Li Jihyun who was taken in obedience to the two maids.

"Good noble," they said in unison. They're turning around.

"Lien bring here a bucket of water and a washcloth" Jing said. Lien nodded and left. While Li Jihyun propped up her chin watched Jing drag the corpse out. He glanced at Li Jihyun. But his sight soon fell. "Your majesty sorry in advance is it okay to bring this corpse out?" jing asked with a heart.

"No problem," Li Jihyun replied lightly. The man dragged the body quickly. Without the cover fabric make it visible. All eyes were on Jing who came out of Li Jihyun's room. Some passing daydreams resist nausea. There was a whisper as Jing passed by.

Jing's steps stopped in front of the park. Sweat floods the entire body. He rubbed it slowly. His eyes caught the blood patches that formed traces. "It looks like I'll have the other lady clean it," muttered Jing looking for a hoe.

He quickly dug up the ground to form a hole the size of the corpse's body. He slowly pushed the corpse into the pit. He wiped the falling sweat.

Jing turned around leaving the body there. Two steps he stopped. His eyes caught the five maids who happened to pass by. The biggest smile was lipped. "Hey you're here" he shouted making the five people turn their heads. Spontaneous the faces of the five people paled. "HEY! COME HERE!" jing's shout louder made the five men approach him.

Their heads are down. "What did Jing's lady-in-waiting call us?" ask one of the five ladies in fear.

"Quick clean up the rest of the blood in the hallway," Jing's orders were taken. Jing smiled smugly past the five maids. But once behind them. He's stopped. "If you don't want to end up like the bodies I brought. It's best to finish quickly," Jing added making all five shudder.

"Yes we will do it" they said in unison and left. Jing continued her steps towards the room.

"Died the woman's head that hasn't. Hopefully Lien is done mopping the floor," Jing muttered in a quick step. Passing through a lonely hallway. Actually it's not lonely just that the lady who passed Jing deliberately dodged. They were still afraid to see the corpse Jing had taken lightly.

Jing's steps stopped in front of the door. He took a breath and opened the door. His eyes widened in shock at the sight of Lien who was strangled by Li Jihyun. Lien's feet hung in the air while constantly revolting. Surprised to see Li Jihyun's strength that could lift Lien's body lightly.

Lien's face turned blue out of breath. It seems he has trouble breathing. "Your great concubine," called Jing who immediately calmed down. Li Jihyun turned her attention towards Jing. But a glance as his eyes looked back at Lien.

His hand gripped Lien's neck until a bone was heard. Lien's breath slowly faltered. His black eyes rose upward leaving a white color. "Yes-Yes, what exactly is going on? Did Lien make a mistake?" jing asked in trembling. Cold sweat flooded the forehead.

Li Jihyun remained silent and tightened her grip. Make that horrible voice sound again. The neck of the lady was immediately crushed. In an instant, his last breath. Seeing Lien was helpless.

Li Jihyun threw the body of the ladyboy. Make it hit the room wall. "Lien," cried Jing worriedly. He crawled towards the weakly lying Jing. Jing didn't know Lien was dead.

"Jing," called Li Jihyun to stop her movement grabbing Lien's body. His eyes were watery and hands clenched tightly. He turned sharply. "Hurry to clear all that up," Li Jihyun's command that Jing ignored. His lips were tightly clenched. He's biting his lower lip.

"Your majesty actually why did your majesty kill Lien? What's her fault?" jing asked in a high tone. Next to Li Jihyun's corner was lifted. He walked over to Jing. Grabbing Jing's chin which was still sitting limp. He raised the woman's face forcibly. Until his head looked up and their eyes looked.

"I don't need a reason to kill someone," Li Jihyun replied making Jing's anger soar. He brushed aside Li Jihyun's rough hand then stood up. Putting up a horse to prepare against Li Jihyun.

"Based on the devil!" maki Jing before slamming forward. Li Jihyun stood in her place quietly. Waiting for Jing to release his fist.

As soon as Jing's fist came closer to his face. Li Jihyun caught him quickly. Then pulled his hand closer towards her. Making Jing's face close together. "Jing to climb to a high position required a lot of sacrifice," Li Jihyun stabbed Jing in the stomach with a fork tucked in her hanfun pocket.
