Emperor Wu Su gazed at her and said slowly, "In another six hours, Mr. Ji will be released from prison and can return home."
Ji Qingwu's mouth fell open in surprise. She hadn't expected such a delightful turn of events.
Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief. Old Madam Ji and Mrs. Qiao thanked the Emperor profusely.
