The corners of Long Yang's lips curled up, "You are so kind-hearted that you can't even bear to step on Ma Yi? The Concubine Hui that Duke Ji knows seems to be different from the one I know."
Zhao Qian immediately echoed: "Mr. Ji, yesterday Concubine Hui's intention to murder the prince was seen by many people. The evidence is conclusive, but Concubine Hui refused to admit it. The emperor has no choice but to send her to prison and reflect on it."
Ji Qingyuan was hesitant after hearing what the two said.
But no matter what, he didn't believe that his daughter could have such vicious thoughts.
He didn't witness what happened yesterday, but the version he heard was that Hui'er offended the queen, which angered the emperor and was thrown into prison.
With Lu Liangwei's current level of favor, it is not impossible that the emperor would treat Hui'er like that.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Please allow the emperor to allow me to meet Concubine Hui."
Long Yang nodded, "It's accurate. Zhao Qian, take Duke Ji to see Concubine Hui. If Concubine Hui is willing to plead guilty, come and report her quickly, and I will definitely give her a lighter sentence."
"Yes." Zhao Qian responded respectfully. After his master had gone far, he turned to Ji Qingyuan and said, "Mr. Ji, please come with us."
Ji Qingyuan nodded, "Thank you, Manager Zhao." But his heart felt a little heavy.
The emperor means that if Hui'er does not plead guilty, what awaits her will not end well.
The emperor asked him to see Hui'er because he wanted him to persuade Hui'er to plead guilty quickly. Only in this way would the emperor treat her lightly.
Ji Qingyuan followed Zhao Qian to the prison with a heavy heart.
He had heard about this torture chamber in the palace for a long time, but this was the first time he had set foot in it.
When he went in, the torturers inside had already gotten the news, so Ji Linghui was not tortured at this time, but the torture she received yesterday had taken away half of her life. She was lying on the ground dying with her body It was even covered with horrific bloodstains.
Ji Qingyuan realized this, her heart was cut by a knife, and she quickly stepped forward to help her daughter up.
However, as soon as his hand touched her, he heard her moaning in pain. He was so frightened that he immediately put down his hand and shouted distressedly: "Hui'er, how are you?"
Hearing her father's voice, Ji Linghui opened her eyes with difficulty, "Dad, why did you enter the palace?"
Ji Qingyuan saw that she was covered with injuries and did not dare to touch her again. This was not a good place to reminisce about the past, so he said straight to the point: "What happened? Why did the emperor say that you wanted to kill the eldest princess and the prince? What on earth did you do?" Have you ever done that?”
Ji Linghui smiled miserably, "Dad, you know your daughter's temperament. Do you think I would do something worse than a beast? I just accidentally offended the queen, and the queen wanted to throw dirty water on me. The emperor loves her so much." , of course, the emperor believed her whatever she said. If I did anything wrong, it would be that I should not have fallen in love with the emperor and fell into the palace. Dad, I regret it so much... "
Ji Qingyuan felt heartbroken when he heard this.
This daughter has been sensible since she was a child and has taken good care of her younger siblings. If she married into an ordinary family, she would definitely live a happier life than she does now.
It's a pity that she actually fell in love with the emperor, and she went crazy in order to enter the palace.
Seeing her like this, he also regretted that he didn't dissuade her and instead helped her enter the palace.
But what has become of her now
"The most ruthless emperor's family..." Ji Linghui murmured to herself, which made Ji Qingyuan feel even more distressed.
