The Emperor's Prisoner

Episode 100's

Zhang Liu cleared his throat turning their attention towards him. Next to his eyes blinked towards Li Jihyun. "You should say thank you to your highness, great concubine," Zhang Liu said, making the gathered people look at each other.

Their faces looked confused. Zhang Liu exhaled a rough breath. "Women in front of you are the noble concubines. Greet quickly," he continued, which surprised the people. Their eyes stared at Li Jihyun.

The friendly smile on the back was Li Jihyun's lips. Soon the heads of the people were immediately bowed. People bowed respectfully. "We greet your majesty" they said in unison.

Zhang Liu fixed the location of his glasses. "You don't have to be like this. Raise your heads" Li Jihyun said.

"Thank you for your noble kindness. I really didn't expect you to be this good to us" said one of them representing the mob.

"No need to overdo it. It is appropriate that the ruler shares with his people. You are my sons in this kingdom." They looked at each other again. There were even two people whispering.

"It seems that the rumor is not completely true" whispered one of the folk heard by Li Jihyun.

"I heard that he was only slaughtering people who harassed him" said his friend who was taken in to agree with the person next to him.

"Again, thank you, Your Majesty. Your kindness will be remembered at any time," said one of them who has since represented them. His head bowed without even lifting his face.

"There's one more thing I'm gonna tell you. This is an opportunity that can change your life" Li Jihyun said in a breath. "In the near future there is the recruitment of soldiers. I hope you can come along," he continued, which was greeted with fanfare.

"Soldier recruits? Isn't that good news?"

"of course. Who wouldn't want to come? But are commoners like us accepted?"

"Hey! Open your ears wide! Didn't the noble himself say that he would recruit soldiers from the people?"

Li Jihyun raised her hanfun tip. Covering the grin on the lips. This way I can destroy you Long Jian, Li Jihyun's inner self.

"Your Majesty it's time we go. There is something to do first," Zhang Liu said, shifting Li Jihyun's attention.

"I'm sorry I can't stay here long. Actually I want to stay here longer. Tell a lot of things. But my time is limited. Excuse me first," said Li Jihyun kindly. The crowd sounded disappointed.

"I'm sorry. Next time we can talk longer" he continued. He's riding a horse-drawn carriage. At first glance look towards those who put on a sad and disappointed face. "I hope we can meet soon at the recruitment of soldiers" he said before disappearing behind the curtain.

"Of course, your majesty. We will definitely not disappoint you" replied one of them with a fiery flame. The horse-drawn carriage drove out of the slum.

"I didn't expect there to still be a slum in Qing Long," Li Jihyun chirped her hands with a handkerchief.

Zhang Liu sighed softly. "I hope you can fix it quickly" Zhang Liu said, shifting Li Jihyun's attention. She smiled smirk.

"Don't expect more from me" Li Jihyun said, throwing the handkerchief out. Horses continued to race the city streets towards the palace. The atmosphere outside is very crowded by humans passing by.

"But you are better than the emperor. You ..."

"Zhang Liu stop comparing me to Long Jian. Now just focus on your task," Li Jihyun's words made Zhang Liu instantly speechless. He breathed again.

"A very quiet night" he closed his eyes. The wind that passed through the window lattice made him unable to resist sleepiness.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Li Jihyun's eyes immediately opened. He sizzled furiously. His head was turned towards the window. "Damn it! Who's interrupting my sleep?" his murmur inched down from the bed. They light candles to illuminate the room.

He opened the window that had just become the source of a sound that was enough to disturb his sleep. Decakan sounded when he saw a black-robed person crouching against a tree. "Master calls you to the usual place of the noble concubine," said Li Jihyun.

Does he want to report about uncle? thought Li Jihyun grabbed the robe and put it on. Without even changing her sleepwear. The cloaked person simply glanced over without daring to speak. After Li Jihyun jumped down. The cloaked person instantly disappeared. He was like the wind, Li Jihyun's inner look up. There's no one else there. Only the wind was heard.

He sighed. Continuing his journey to the abandoned park behind the palace. Sometimes his head was turned back. Make sure no one is following him behind the darkness of the night.

Soon he arrived at the promised place. Zhang Liu who saw Li Jihyun's arrival immediately greeted her enthusiastically. Their smiles are blushed. "It's nice to meet your highness," said Zhang Liu, bowing respectfully to Li Jihyun's deheman. "I'm sorry for interrupting your time. But there are important things that I have to talk to you about," said Zhang Liu, who is a Li Jihyun.

"Tell me! Is this related to the warden? Or ..." Zhang Liu shook his head cutting off Li Jihyun's words. The girl kept quiet and looked at Zhang Liu sharply.

"It's about the warden's head. She ..."

......................

Brak!

"LACK OF TEACHING!"

BUKS!

The young man grimaced in pain at Long Jian's strike. The man's face was red. His eyes stared at the young man wrapped in all black clothes. "Stupid! Kill the old man you can't?! You useless!" maki Long Jian with a quick hunting breath.

His shoulders are up and down. He raised his index finger with an angry face. "I'm paying you dearly doesn't mean you can't work. Kill the old man or I'll kill you!" he threatened the young man.

"I will definitely ..."

"That's it. Just do your job. Don't fail," Long Jian's order cut the young man's words. The bruised face of the former was hit by Long Jian. Even the corners of his lips broke until blood seeped.

"Okay, your highness. Excuse me first," said his ex-husband Long Jian. The man was massaging his temples which suddenly suddenly came with pain.

"Fucking girl! Not only could his long-lived nephew, even the old man, not be killed. Basic useless," Long Jian grumbled as he clucked bitterly.

"Li Jihyun one by one I will kill your family," muttered Long Jian clenched his hands tightly.

...----------------...

Li Jihyun laughed so hard that her eyes were watering. Zhang Liu who finished telling the story just stared questioningly. "God! Not only was Long Jian a fool but his men were the same. They thought the old man was easy to kill," Li Jihyun rubbed the tip of her eye while taking a breath.
