Chapter 677 Don't Dare to Touch Her Again

The corners of Long Yang's lips twitched, "He is so kind-hearted that he can't even step on an ant's advice? The Concubine Hui that Ji Guogong knows is different from the one I know."

Zhao Gan immediately echoed, "Ji Guogong, many people saw Concubine Hui's intention to murder the prince yesterday, and the evidence is convincing, but Concubine Hui just refuses to admit it. The emperor has no choice but to let her go to prison and reflect on herself."

Ji Qingyuan hesitated when he heard what the two said.

But no matter what, he didn't believe that his daughter could have such vicious thoughts.

What happened yesterday, he did not witness it with his own eyes, but the version he heard was that Huier offended the empress, and that's why she annoyed the emperor, and was thrown into prison by the emperor.

With Lu Liangwei being favored now, it is not impossible for the emperor to treat Hui'er like that.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I also ask the emperor to allow this minister to meet Concubine Hui."

Long Yang nodded, "Quite. Zhao Gan, take Ji Guogong to see Concubine Hui. If Concubine Hui is willing to plead guilty, report it quickly, and I will punish her lightly."

"Yes." Zhao Qian respectfully responded, and turned to Ji Qingyuan after the master had gone far away, "Ji Guogong, please come with our family."

Ji Qingyuan nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao." But his heart was a little heavy.

What the emperor meant, if Hui'er did not plead guilty, then those who were waiting for her would not end well.

The emperor asked him to see Hui'er because he wanted him to persuade Hui'er to confess her guilt quickly. Only in this way, the emperor would punish her lightly.

Ji Qingyuan followed Zhao Gan to the prison with a heavy heart.

He had heard of this execution room in the palace for a long time, but it was the first time he set foot there.

When he went in, the torturers inside had already got the news, so Ji Linghui was not tortured at this time, but the torture she received yesterday had already cost her half of her life, and she was lying on the ground dying, with her body on her body. It was even more horribly bloodstained.

When Ji Qingyuan saw her, her heart was pierced like a knife, and she stepped forward quickly, trying to help her daughter up.

However, as soon as he touched her, he heard her crying in pain. He was so frightened that he immediately put down his hand, and cried out distressedly: "Hui'er, how are you?"

Hearing her father's voice, Ji Linghui opened her eyes with difficulty, "Father, why did you enter the palace?"

Seeing that she was covered in injuries, Ji Qingyuan didn't dare to touch her again, and it was not a good place to reminisce about the old days, so he said straight to the point: "What happened, why did the emperor say that you wanted to murder the elder princess' son? Have you ever done it?"

Ji Linghui smiled miserably, "Father, you know your daughter's temperament. Do you think I will do something that is inferior to an animal? I just accidentally offended the queen, and the queen wanted to pour dirty water on me. The emperor dotes on her." Naturally, the emperor will believe her whatever she says. If there is anything wrong with me, it is that I should not have fallen in love with the emperor back then, and even fell headfirst into the palace. Dad, I regret it..."

Ji Qingyuan felt distressed when he heard it.

This daughter was sensible since she was a child, and she took good care of her younger siblings. If she married into an ordinary family, she would definitely live a happier life than she is now.

It's a pity that she fell in love with the emperor, and she went crazy in order to enter the palace.

Seeing her like this now, he regretted it too, regretted not dissuading her back then, but helping her into the palace.

But what is she like now?

"The most ruthless emperor's family..." Ji Linghui muttered to herself, which made Ji Qingyuan's heart ache even more.
