Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 88 Waiting
Ji Liangruo felt like he was in hell, covered his mouth to keep himself from screaming, and quickly followed the person in front of him.

After turning a few turns, she finally saw Ru Ji, tied to the cross by iron chains, her delicate face and gorgeous dress looked so beautiful here...

"Aunt!" Ji Liangruo pounced on her, hugging her and crying.

"Looking for your father..." Ru Ji whispered in her ear.

She froze for a moment, and wanted to raise her head, but Ruji's chin pressed heavily on her shoulder, preventing her from moving.

Ji Liangruo came to his senses, reached out and hugged her waist, and continued to cry: "Aunt... Liangruo is sorry for you..."

"His name is Li Qingquan..." Ruji said, "I changed your surname back then because I was afraid that people would find out that you were related to him and bring you disaster..."

Ji Liangruo understands.He is an important criminal wanted by the court, if someone finds out that she is his daughter, she may be killed...

"I won't say much, you can find a trustworthy person to ask... if you can ask... take your wooden pendant and recognize him, he can gather many people... If you can't save your aunt, at least you can save yourself..." Ruo After Ji finished speaking, she turned her head, and tears flowed down the line.

Ji Liangruo let go of her and looked at her quietly: "Is Auntie going to blame me?"

"Of course she should blame you!" The maid who brought her just now came forward and sneered in her ear, "If you are more obedient, why would your empress have to suffer so much?" On Ru Ji.

"Ah——" Ruji screamed in pain, her limbs moved wildly, and the hands and feet tied to the pillar showed eye-catching marks.

"Don't—" Ji Liangruo pushed the palace maid away and wanted to run over.Two eunuchs behind rushed over, grabbed her, and pressed her hands tightly behind her back, making her unable to move.

The maid continued to beat Ruji, Ruji screamed in pain, Ji Liangruo cried loudly: "Don't hit me! Don't hit me anymore!"

The maid took the whip and asked her: "Are you going to see the Queen Mother? Don't change your mind when you get there. If you come back, it's not as simple as being whipped!"

"I..." Ji Liangruo shook her head, she shouldn't tell the Queen Mother!

The maid looked at her for a moment, made sure that she had no intention of leaving, then turned around and began to beat her.

Ruji gritted her teeth when she heard Ji Liangruo's cry, and stopped crying.Seeing this, Ji Liangruo cried even harder.What should she do... Yun Yao, tell me, what should I do?
After a few whips, the maid stopped: "Mentally retarded girl!"

When Ji Liangruo saw it, it turned out that Ruji had passed out.She wanted to go over, but the eunuch restrained her body so that she could not move.

The palace maid walked up to the torture rack: "Sure enough, it's not as durable as a martial arts master, and I can't stand it after a few whips!" She reached out and lifted Ruji's chin, "Humph, what a pretty face! I haven't seen such a beautiful face since Ruixue left." face..."

"You..." Ji Liangruo looked at her, she was indeed a spy - a spy who had not been dispatched!
The palace lady turned her head and looked at her with a smile like a flower: "Princess, you said that your mother has such a beautiful face, what will happen if you prick it with a few needles, draw a few knives, sprinkle it with gunpowder and burn it...?"

Ji Liangruo stared wide-eyed and looked at her in horror.

Her hand slid to the wound on Ru Ji's shoulder again, and pressing heavily, Ru Ji convulsed in a coma.

"Sprinkle salt, wine, and honey on this wound... There are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants here, and I will come to clean her soon!"

"You—" Ji Liangruo struggled twice, "You're going to die!"

"It must be like Empress Ji's death! Don't worry, I won't do this behind my back, I will definitely ask the concubine to watch every time!"

Ji Liangruo gasped.

"Princess, you better think about what to do." Her eyes turned hard, and she said to the eunuch behind, "Bring the princess!"

"Don't!" Ji Liangruo screamed, thinking she was going to torture Qin Yunrui, "Don't..."

The eighth princess ran in crying and hugged the unconscious Ruji: "Mother...Mother! Wake up!"

"Yunrui..." The eunuch finally let Ji Liangruo go, and Ji Liangruo stepped forward to hug her, "Yunrui..."

Qin Yunrui clenched his fist and beat her on the shoulder: "You hurt us! Why did you hurt us? My mother and I are so kind to you!"

Bearing her fist, Ji Liangruo held her tighter and tighter, and whispered: "Yun Rui... Cousin won't let you have trouble, Cousin will definitely save you out."

Qin Yunrui still slapped her, one by one: "Let go of me! An ungrateful woman! I will never call you my cousin again! You will be your princess! Enjoy your glory and wealth! I will die with my mother at the worst! Together, it's better than being alone without father or mother!"

Qin Yunrui pushed her away, and she fell to the ground.

"I don't want you to hug me, you are not worthy!" Qin Yunrui yelled, turned around and hugged Ruji's body, crying.

Ji Liangruo stared at her, stood there for a long time, then turned around in a daze, and walked out.

The maid glanced at her back, threw down the whip, and said to the eunuch: "Lock the door and watch them! They are not allowed to commit suicide or anything. If something goes wrong, you are the only ones to ask!"

If Ji Liang walked out of the underground palace, it was already dark.

The air is very cold today, especially after nightfall.She walked into the night with her arms folded, not knowing where to go.Finding a way, no matter where it leads, she walked straight down.Occasionally, I met a few court ladies rushing by, eunuchs pushing waterwheels, and guards patrolling in groups.

"Stop! Who are you?" the guard asked.

"Fourth prince and concubine Ji..." She said, remembering that she had a badge to enter and leave the palace, and showed them to them.

The guard saw that it was indeed the fourth prince's person, and let her go: "Where is the princess going at such a night? Why is there no one around?"

She opened her mouth, not knowing what to answer, and said, "I've gone the wrong way, which way should I go out of the palace?"

The guard pointed in the direction, and gave a rough outline of the route. She thanked her and walked over there.It was only when he reached the gate of the palace that he thought of Qin Yunyao.

It's so late, he didn't see her, did he go home by himself, or went looking for her everywhere?Should she go back to Longfu Palace to have a look, or go home directly?What if I miss it?
Turning around and looking at the majestic palace, the guard asked her: "Princess, do you want to leave the palace?"

"To..." she said, turned around and waited for them to open the palace gate, and walked out alone.

There was no one outside, and the palace door was closed heavily behind her, and she burst into tears.The cry was particularly desolate in the night wind, like a ghost whining.

"princess?"

Someone yelled in front of her, and she stopped crying and held her breath: "Mo Yan?"

"It's a subordinate." Mo Yan walked up to her, "Is the princess alright?"

Seeing that it was indeed someone she knew, her nerves suddenly relaxed, and her body shook violently.Startled, Mo Yan stretched out his hand to support her, but he didn't dare to touch her, so he only kept his hands near her body, just in case.

She didn't fall down, no matter how big it was, she could withstand it.

"Where is the prince?" She asked, finding the shadow of the carriage, and walked over there.

Mo Yan followed behind her, and after a moment of silence, he said, "My lord hasn't left the palace yet."

Ji Liangruo suddenly stopped and looked back at him: "Haven't you left the palace? Haven't you been out?"

"Yes."

She took a deep breath, ran towards the palace gate, and stopped a few meters away from the gate.Looking up at the high palace wall, she laughed miserably, unable to cry, "Yunyao... where are you..."

Qin Yunguang is suspicious of him. Has something happened to him after he has been away for so long?
No, he'll be fine!He must have finished talking with Qin Yunguang and left, just looking for her... He must have gone to Longfu Palace to look for her, and he will come out soon!

She retreated to the carriage and found the carriage moving, so she quickly stopped Mo Yan: "Wait for the prince!"

Mo Yan stopped the carriage, waited for a while and said, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to be feeling well. I will send you back to the manor to rest first, and then come to pick up the prince."

"No..." A broken voice escaped from her mouth, "I'll wait for him."

Sitting quietly, the carriage was pitch black.Mo Yan handed in a fire folder: "There should be candles in the box, the princess will find them and light them."
