Jian Guozhi came to the prison-house to properly investigate Zhilao Mi before taking her to the Imperial Court. Seeing Jian Guozhi entering the prison house, Zhilao Mi stood up from the floor.
"Jian Ge," she called him with affection. Jian Guozhi halted a meter away from her. "I did not do anything. Please leave me. Huo Jin lied to you. Please trust me." She joined her both hands and pleaded to him. "Huo Jin was telling me to run away with him. But I refused to do so." Tears poured down her cheeks and she kept crying, pleading with her husband.
"Stop lying. I will kill you right away if you keep lying to me," Jian Guozhi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Jian Ge admires me and he needs me. What happened to you overnight? Is it because of the Crown Princess? Did she manipulate you against me?" Zhilao Mi lowered her eyes while sobbing.
