After a long moment, all he said was, "You are dismissed."
Hearing those three words, Ji Qingwu's eyes instantly lit up.
'I'm going to live!'
She suppressed her inner joy, hunched her shoulders, bowed her waist, and quickly backed out of the Diligent Governance Hall.
What she didn't know was that the moment her figure in green disappeared, the Emperor's expression behind her changed in an instant.
His features turned to ice, chilling anyone who looked at him. Not a trace of his previous gentle demeanor remained.
As Ji Qingwu walked out of the hall, she felt as if she had been given a new lease on life. Even the air seemed to be filled with a sweet fragrance.
Outside the door, Li Yuzong and Little Dongzi saw her emerge and immediately beamed at her like blooming flowers.
"Miss Ji, you're out so soon. Please, take care on your way out."
