Chapter 392: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 3
Ji Yunhuan supported his mother all the way to the Dali Temple prison. The servants were imprisoned outside, and after walking inside, they reached the place where the main criminals were imprisoned.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of blood. My father was locked in the innermost cell, covered in blood and dying.
Mother Fang Huijia was already sobbing uncontrollably. If it weren't for the spiritual spring water that was sustaining her, she would have definitely fainted from crying.
Several female family members were detained together. Ji Yunhuan wanted to go and see his father, but was scolded and locked up by the jailer.
She calmed herself down, comforted her mother, and then sat cross-legged on the moldy straw mat, pretending to rest, but in fact she was sinking her consciousness into the space.
There is a vast field in the space. A stream divides the space into two. In the center is a spring, gurgling with spring water.
When she woke up, there was this space in her mind, which was extremely mysterious. She had to seize the time to study this treasure carefully.
"It's time for dinner! Don't push us, you're starving like ghosts!"
The jailer shouted impatiently, put down a plate of sour black steamed buns and a bucket of dirty water, and went inside.
Ji Yunhuan opened her eyes and tried to spread her mental strength. She used all her strength but could only barely reach the door of the innermost cell. She took the opportunity to replace the bowl of water that the jailer had placed at the door of her father's cell, slapped the door and shouted:
"Dad! Dad, wake up and drink some water."
Ji Liao was drowsy with fever and vaguely heard his daughter's voice. He thought he was hallucinating and his daughter should have escaped out of the city by now. However, he still dragged his broken leg to the door of the cell and struggled to drink the water.
Several torches were lit in the prison, making it as bright as day. Eunuch Fu, who was beside the emperor, walked over with a limp, and the jailer bowed and nodded, then swiftly opened the cell door.
"Ji Yunhuan, come out! This is the severance agreement. Sign it quickly and follow this eunuch into the palace."
Fang Huijia had calmed down and quickly pushed her daughter out, urging her, "Huan'er, sign quickly. There is still a chance for you to survive if you enter the palace. You don't have to worry about your mother, and you don't have to plead for your father. Only if you live well can your parents feel at ease."
Ji Yunhuan felt a lump in his throat and almost burst into tears.
Her parents were the best parents in the world, caring about her wholeheartedly. In her previous life, she enjoyed the protection of her parents with peace of mind. After entering the palace, she was coaxed by the emperor into signing a letter of severance of her relationship with him.
Even his own daughter refused to recognize Ji Liao as her father, which further confirmed Ji Liao's crime of treason.
Seeing that Ji Yunhuan refused to sign, Eunuch Fu sneered and said, "Ji Liao had ill intentions at the palace banquet and was arrested by the imperial guards on the spot. His Majesty has sentenced the entire Ji family to exile. They will leave early tomorrow morning. I advise you to be sensible. If you don't sign, you will die."
Ji Yunhuan took the letter of severance and burst into tears, "I don't believe it! I don't believe that Your Majesty is so heartless! I want to see Your Majesty. If I can't see Your Majesty, I won't sign it!"
Fang Huijia bid farewell to her daughter in tears, thinking that this would be a farewell forever.
In front of the eunuch, Ji Yunhuan couldn't say much. He could only pat his mother's hand and followed Eunuch Fu.
In Jinyang Palace.
Ji Yunhuan was trapped in the innermost palace, with many eunuchs guarding outside. However, she knew that there was a secret passage in Jinyang Palace, and the emperor in his previous life took her out through the secret passage.
Following the secret passage, we soon arrived at the meeting room in front. There was a small hole on the secret door, which could be opened from the inside, allowing a clear view of the situation outside.
"Duke Yue! I have trusted you so much, how do you do things? If this case is not proven, how can I explain it to the soldiers in the northern border? If they make trouble and don't guard the northern border well, and the Di Kingdom invades, can you bear the responsibility?"
The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table. At the moment, he only had his confidants, and he had nothing to hide. He said viciously: "No matter what, Ji Liao must die! His prestige is too great. Almost everyone in the north of Luoshui is named Ji. As long as he is alive, I will not be able to sleep or eat well!"
Duke Yue knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, calm down. Even if he has not been convicted of treason, Ji Liao's disrespect for Your Majesty is a serious crime. He should be sentenced to exile. Your Majesty has not taken his life, which is already a special mercy."
"This time Ji Liao defeated the Di cavalry, and some people in the people have already called for the King of Liao. This trend must not be allowed to grow. Fortunately, Your Majesty was wise and ordered Ji Liao to return to the capital to report. He was given a packet of knockout drugs and the man was arrested on the spot. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble would have been caused."
The Dali Temple Minister knelt next to Duke Yue and praised him, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Ji Liao's legs are broken and he will never be able to stand up again. The journey of exile was difficult and it was common for him to die of illness or starvation."
"Originally, everything was planned. Even if Ji Liao refused to plead guilty, we could still make a solid case. But it was because Ji Yuan was useless. He didn't put any of the things we prepared in the study. He was so stupid!"
Duke Yue continued, "Stupidity has its uses. If we give them a little sweetness, they will naturally kill Ji Liao. We don't have to dirty our hands, and there will be no handle left. Isn't it very clean?"
The emperor's anger finally subsided a little, and he said coldly: "Then do it as soon as possible. Within three days, I want to hear the news of Ji Liao's death!"
Ji Yunhuan memorized those faces in his mind: the emperor, Duke Yue, the chief judge of the Dali Temple, the minister of justice... These people were the murderers who killed his father in his previous life.
She has space in her hands, and exile suits her just fine. One day, she will come back to avenge today's revenge!
Ji Yunhuan did not stay long. After many twists and turns, he soon arrived at the national treasury.
Nowadays, there are droughts in various places and the people are living in poverty, but taxes have not been reduced, but have increased instead, and the national treasury is still very abundant.
At the front were tribute rice and silks and satins from various places, all of which were extremely gorgeous and commonly used by the royal family. Yun Huan was also used to using them in the previous century. She waved her hand and put them into the space without hesitation.
Along the long corridor, further back are large gold and silver ingots, neatly arranged in boxes.
There are paths on both sides leading to the treasure house. Jewelry, jade, emerald agate, antiques, calligraphy and paintings... all fill the entire treasury in different categories.
Ji Yunhuan sank his consciousness into the space and radiated his mental strength. After a dizzy spell, the national treasury was completely moved into the space, leaving only an empty warehouse shell in the imperial palace.
Ji Yunhuan was in high spirits, and she went to the imperial kitchen to move some things. After that, she still felt unsatisfied. It was too late to go to Duke Yue's Mansion, so she turned into the Queen's Palace and found the Queen's private vault.
Duke Yue was a wealthy man, and when Empress Yue Yilan entered the palace she brought a lot of dowry with her. Now she has opened her eyes.
The room was filled with gold and jade, and was full of glittering lights, just like a treasure house. Compared with this place, the general's mansion was extremely shabby.
Ji Yunhuan took them all without hesitation. Among them was a locked secret box. Opening it rashly would destroy the contents inside, so he had to put it aside for now and study it slowly later.
After finishing this, Ji Yunhuan was sweating and had a severe headache, but at least she had gotten rid of her anger. She was in a good mood and quickly returned to Jinyang Palace. She sat upright on the bed, waiting for the emperor to arrive.
