She slapped her face and dismissed the thought.
When Ji Linghui saw her father appear again, she raised her head impatiently, "Dad, did the emperor agree? What did he say?"
Looking at her father's unhappy expression, she guessed that the emperor must not have agreed to his request so readily.
After all, she was a concubine. Even if the emperor disliked her, he would not let her leave the palace easily.
"The Emperor has agreed. Dad will take you out of the palace right now." Ji Qingyuan's light words interrupted all Ji Linghui's thoughts.
She was a little stunned, "Dad, what did you say?"
Ji Qingyuan forced a smile and said: "Fortunately, I have the jade bracelet given by my ancestor, the Empress Dowager, otherwise this palace would not be so easy to get out of."
When Ji Linghui heard this, she felt a little sad. In this way, the emperor let her out of the palace for the sake of his ancestor, the empress dowager.
If it weren't for this jade bracelet, she might not be able to leave the palace.
Ji Qingyuan didn't know what his daughter was thinking, so he picked her up and walked out of the palace.
Ji Linghui looked at the majestic palace getting farther and farther behind her, with strong unwillingness in her eyes.
One day, she will come back, and she will come back in glory.
Because the emperor asked Ji Qingyuan to pick up Ji Linghui, naturally, the Huixian Palace where she lived had to be cleaned up again, and the palace residents inside had to be carefully arranged and dealt with.
"You are Miss Ji's dowry girl. Now that the Emperor has shown mercy and allowed her to leave the palace, you naturally no longer have to stay in the palace. In a short while, our family will have someone take you back to Duke Ji's mansion."
As soon as Zhao Gan finished speaking, Xiaoxia plopped down, knelt down on the ground, pulled the corners of his clothes, and said in a trembling voice: "I beg Mr. Zhao not to drive the slave out of the palace, because he is asking the slave to do the heaviest work. The servant is also willing."
Zhao Qian saw this and looked at her strangely, "Others want to leave the palace but can't get out yet. It's better for you. A great opportunity is in front of you, but you don't want it. Instead, you have to do menial work. Do you know what it means to leave the palace?" What are you holding on to? That’s freedom, you silly girl!”
Xiaoxia bit her lip, unmoved, and begged: "As long as Mr. Zhao lets me stay, I will be my great benefactor. I will repay you in the future if I work like a cow or a horse."
Zhao Qian was very surprised, but seeing her persistence, he thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to stay, but you have to give our family a reasonable reason, right?"
Xiaoxia lowered her head, thinking about the fear she felt when she was around the young lady. Finally, she gritted her teeth, pulled up her sleeves, and raised her hands in front of Zhao Qian, "Manager Zhao, this is the reason. I don’t want to live such a life of fear anymore, I want to live a normal life.”
The little girl's arms, which should have been tender and white, were now covered with pinholes, so densely packed that almost no intact skin could be seen.
Zhao Qian was very surprised and quickly pulled up her other sleeve and saw that her arm was also covered with dense pinholes. At first glance, it looked really scary.
Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Ouch, who the hell dares to persecute a little girl? You really have lost your conscience!"
Other palace people also saw it and felt sympathy for Xiaoxia.
It is self-evident who caused her to be like this.
No wonder Xiaoxia would rather stay in the palace than go back to her master.
She was following a ruthless devil master.
