Chapter 752 - Traitors (3) (2/2)

If the Emperor had known that Ji Fengyan was this powerful, even with 10 guts, he would not dare to summon her back to the capital city. Wasn’t it simply seeking his own death?

“A misunderstanding?” Ji Fengyan looked at the Emperor, whose attitude changed very quickly, with her brows raised.

The Emperor nodded profusely.

“Misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding? Why do you have to be this angry, General Ji? I only had some investigation that I needed General to cooperate with me. Why do you have to have such a great reaction?”

“Cooperate?” Ji Fengyan laughed softly. “Was it cooperating in the dungeon?”

The Emperor’s face froze and he immediately said, “It’s my men who made a mistake. I did not ask them to lock you in the dungeon.”

Then, as if he thought of something, his face became stern and he stared at the half-alive Eldest Princess, who was hanging in the air, and said, “It’s this insolent daughter of mine who has a personal grudge against General Ji, so she had purposely twisted my words. Before General came, I had already reprimanded her and had wanted to let you out…”

The words that the Emperor said immediately shook off all responsibility from himself as he pushed all the blame to the Eldest Princess.

But…

“Emperor,” Ji Fengyan said suddenly.

The Emperor’s body froze.

“Do you think I am an idiot?” Ji Fengyan smiled slightly. “If it was not your command, how could she as a princess order your royal guards?”

The royal guards were the personal guards to the Emperor and were under the direct control of him. Not only the Eldest Princess, even his concubines could not give them any orders.

When Ji Fengyan pretended to faint, she saw everything clearly. Wasn’t it clearly the royal guards who had sent her to the dungeon?

The Emperor was stunned. He had not expected Ji Fengyan to observe this closely. Obviously, Ji Fengyan had already known everything.
