When Li Junci dealt with the two men and entered the inner room, there was no sign of Xu Jinyi.
The open window inside seemed to tell him that the person had escaped.
Li Junci's face froze in place, a huge panic swept over his body, and he seemed to be back to that snowy afternoon.
Her eyes were red: "Fairy sister!"
Li Junci almost couldn't stand when he thought that Xu Jinyi might leave.
Just as he was about to go out the window to look for someone, he saw a note left by Xu Jinyi in the window.
"Li Junci, I'll take your token and go to the cell to see my father. I'll be back soon."
After seeing the note, Li Junci immediately went to the prison.
Xu Jinyi easily entered the cell with Li Junci's personal token.
The moment the cell door opened and Xu Jinyi stepped in, the damp and dark smell made her frown.
Can her father be cured if he is locked up here? Don't let the rheumatic legs come back.
There was a rustling sound, and Xu Jinyi saw three big rats crawling past her.
"ah"
Xu Jinyi screamed and stomped his feet.
She is most afraid of rats, snakes, insects and the like.
A strong arm suddenly picked up Xu Jinyi.
Xu Jinyi turned her head and saw that it was Li Junci who had caught up with her so quickly, still wearing only her inner clothes.
She said jokingly, "Oh, the Emperor has favored his two confidantes so quickly. So quickly, could it be..."
Li Junci's face darkened, and he patted her peach-like buttocks with his big hand: "Yier, since you want to know if I'm fast or not, why don't you try it yourself?"
Xu Jinyi looked at Gao Yan behind him and his face turned red. Such a grown man was actually spanked.
It's so embarrassing when there are outsiders around.
Gao Yan lowered his head in fear and shock. Just now, when he saw Xu Jinyi coming over with the token, he interrogated him.
Fortunately, I didn't make things difficult for her.
"Whoever wants to try, put me down quickly. I want to see how my father has been tortured by you." Xu Jinyi swung her legs in his arms.
"I'll carry you in."
"No, if you carry me in, my dad will think too much. I'll go in by myself. Put me down quickly."
Li Junci refused to let her leave the dirty and messy cell no matter what, and personally carried her in.
Then Xu Jinyi saw the prison cell with a unique flavor.
It can be said to be a very alternative cell, one that is comfortably and neatly furnished and does not look like a prison cell at all.
Her father was lying on the bed snoring, with his legs crossed, looking very comfortable.
Li Junci asked Gao Yan to go forward and open the cell, but Xu Jinyi raised his hand and pulled Li Junci away.
"My dad is a light sleeper. Since he's asleep, I can come visit him tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, I will release my father-in-law." Li Junci suddenly said.
Xu Jinyi blinked: "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?"
Li Junci Wanwan held Xu Jinyi in his arms: "You can't escape. I will release you so that I can welcome you into the palace. How about the Emperor and Empress' wedding being held the day after tomorrow?"
Xu Jinyi's eyes widened: "Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
"I have been waiting for this day for too long." Li Junci whispered.
Xu Jinyi felt a little distressed, but suddenly realized: "When did you have such thoughts about me?"
Li Junci lowered his eyes and chuckled, then pulled Xu Jinyi to his private vault.
What caught her eye were the paintings on the wall, the gold ingots, and the jewelry she had pawned before.
Xu Jinyi opened her red lips slightly and stared at her paintings on the wall with wide eyes.
That’s her sleeping on the tree, her eating, her dancing in the plum garden…
Xu Jinyi's eyes moistened: "If I hadn't appeared back then, would your obsession not have been so deep?"
"What would you do if I never showed up?"
Li Junci didn't care: "Then I will be alone for the rest of my life, waiting for you."
Xu Jinyi felt a pang of pain in his heart, so this was the reason why she returned to this world, because her arrival made him lonely and childless for the rest of his life.
That night, Xu Jinyi rested in the Yangxin Palace and slept on the same bed with Li Junci.
Of course, we were just chatting under the quilt and occasionally moving our hands and feet.
The next day, when the sun slowly rose, Li Junci opened his eyes and saw Xu Jinyi's peaceful sleeping face.
Eunuch Li was pacing outside with a melancholy look on his face. It was time to go to court, but there was still no sound from inside.
He didn't even know whether to shout or not.
Just as I was feeling melancholy, the door slowly opened and Li Junci came out, already dressed.
"Xiao Li, you stay here. No one is allowed to disturb you."
"yes."
When Xu Qingshan woke up in the cell, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. He looked at the water prepared for bathing and the court robes held by the palace maids.
Xu Qingshan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He thought the emperor was going to clear his name and send him to the guillotine.
"My dear brother, is the emperor going to kill me? Can you let me see the emperor again? I haven't seen my daughter yet, I can't die yet..."
Gao Yan: "..."
Ling Dan, standing next to him, laughed heartily, "Hahahaha...Xu Qingshan, your good days are over."
"Hahaha...the guillotine is waiting for you."
Gao Yan had a respectful look on his face, showing great respect to Xu Qingshan: "General Xu, you are joking. These things are preparations for your release from prison. You will be able to return to the General's Mansion soon."
"Your daughter is waiting for you outside."
Xu Qingshan's surprise turned into joy, his eyes widening. "Are you saying my Yi'er is waiting for me outside? I can get out of prison, and the emperor is going to release me?"
Xu Qingshan felt dizzy and couldn't believe that he could get out alive.
The tyrant actually let him go!
Whatever the reason, Xu Qingshan was happy.
"Hahahaha... Ling Dan, you old scoundrel, I'm leaving first. Just wait for your death in this cell."
"Hahaha……"
Ling Dan went crazy, screaming in disbelief: "Impossible! How could Xu Qingshan be acquitted when he embezzled so much? I don't accept it, I don't accept it—"
Xu Qingshan couldn't wait to get familiar with it. He put on his new court robes and looked very proud.
"Please allow General Xu to accept the order."
A eunuch came forward holding a yellow imperial edict.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that General Xu, after years of investigation, has finally recovered the embezzled military pay and distributed it to every soldier. This has earned my heart. I hereby appoint him General Protector of the Nation, award him with ten thousand taels of gold, and grant him a mansion. This is my decree!"
An imperial edict.
Xu Qingshan was stunned!
Ling Dan was also disheveled in the wind!
No one knows better than them how they have embezzled military pay over the past decade.
The emperor had clearly received the confessions from the two men, and the evidence was conclusive, so why did the situation suddenly change?
A corrupt official turned into an honest and upright general?
Not only was he not beheaded or held accountable, but he was also promoted and rewarded?
From a third-rank general, he was directly promoted to a first-rank national defense general.
Xu Qingshan felt dizzy and felt like he was hit by a huge pie. He was taken out of the cell in a daze.
