Chapter 173: Find Gu Lingshuang and punish her
"Are you done? If you are, leave quickly. Idiots are not welcome in Xiaoyao Palace."
"You... Never mind. I won't argue with you. Just take care of yourself. As a father, I will give you one last piece of advice. If you don't change your character, you will be disliked by King Xiaoyao sooner or later."
"Don't bother me, father. Goodbye."
Gu Nanxiao was almost mad at Gu Lingshuang. How could he have given birth to such a rebellious daughter?
Gu Nanxiao snorted coldly and looked at Li Jingjing. At this time, Li Jingjing had already received 50 slaps. Her entire face was beaten into a pig's head, which looked extremely ugly.
Gu Nanxiao felt so distressed seeing her like this, he took a handkerchief and wrapped it around Li Jingjing's face.
"Jingjing, let's go. Your father will take you to the prison to bring our daughter back."
"Ah."
The two left the palace, and in the carriage, Li Jingjing cried pitifully.
"Nan Xiao, Jiaojiao must have suffered a lot in the prison. You must seek justice for Jiaojiao. I don't mind being beaten, but I will never allow anyone to bully our daughter, even if that person is Shuangshuang."
Gu Nanxiao was also furious.
Gu Lingshuang has really gone too far. It seems like it’s time for him to punish Gu Lingshuang.
In the entire Great Xia Kingdom, only the emperor can rule her.
"Don't worry. After rescuing Jiaojiao, I will go to the palace to report to His Majesty. The royal family has many ways to torture people. Gu Lingshuang's bad temper should be properly controlled."
There was a ruthless look in Li Jingjing's eyes. "Gu Lingshuang, you asked for this. You forced me to do this, so you deserve it."
The two men quickly arrived at the Sky Prison. When the prison guards saw Gu Nanxiao, they hurriedly took him to the cell where Qiao Jiaojiao was.
The cell was dark, with only an iron window in the wall allowing sunlight to shine in.
In the sunlight, they saw a person lying on the weeds.
The man was skinny and wore a white prison uniform, but the uniform was stained with blood, turning the white color into a reddish brown, and his hair was a mess like a chicken coop.
The person had her back to the cell door, so her face couldn't be seen for a moment.
Gu Nanxiao and Li Jingjing looked at the disheveled woman inside in disbelief.
That's their daughter? Impossible, it must be fake.
Jiaojiao is extremely beautiful, how could she look so miserable?
Li Jingjing grabbed the iron gate of the cell and said in a hoarse voice: "Is it Jiaojiao?"
The person lying on the ground trembled and slowly turned over.
"Ah——" Li Jingjing screamed when she saw the woman's face clearly.
The man's cheeks were sunken like a skull, and there was a mark on his left cheek from a branding iron. He had originally had a very beautiful face, but now it was completely unrecognizable.
Her eyes were hollow, her lips were chapped, and she looked neither human nor ghost. One could tell at a glance that she was Qiao Jiaojiao.
Li Jingjing's tears instantly flowed down. The Qiao Jiaojiao in Gu Nanxiao's memory was the confident and radiant one at the banquet a few days ago, but the Qiao Jiaojiao now seemed like a skeleton.
How could it become like this?
Gu Nanxiao grabbed the bailiff and said, "Why did my daughter become like this? Did Gu Lingshuang order you to torture Jiaojiao? How could she be so cruel?"
The yamen runner trembled and said, "General, you misunderstood. It was His Majesty's will to use torture."
His Majesty?
how is this possible.
Gu Nanxiao felt powerless in an instant.
Your Majesty is a wise ruler and would never torture Qiao Jiaojiao for no reason. It must be that vicious woman Gu Lingshuang who is behind this.
Li Jingjing was extremely heartbroken. Seeing her beautiful daughter being abused like this, she almost fainted.
"My poor Jiaojiao, how did you become like this? Was it that bitch Gu Lingshuang who made you like this? Tell mother, and mother will definitely avenge you."
Qiao Jiaojiao was tortured beyond recognition. She was severely tortured every day, and if she didn't reveal the modern secret recipe, she would continue to be beaten.
She knew how to make soap, glass, and concrete, but she didn't know everything.
Only after she told them everything she knew, she was not tortured for the past two days.
She is a modern person and has lived a comfortable life since childhood. She has never been treated so cruelly.
She was going crazy these days.
She no longer wants to be the heroine, and no longer wants to be in the limelight. She just wants to go back to the modern era, as the modern society where everyone is equal is the safest.
Seeing that her daughter didn't speak, Li Jingjing became very anxious and kept asking.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Li Jingjing and finally spoke.
"Mother, it was Gu Lingshuang who made me like this. I don't know what she said to the emperor, and the emperor believed her slander and then threw me into the sky prison, torturing me every day. Mother, I'm in so much pain, I want to go home."
Seeing her daughter become like this, Li Jingjing was heartbroken to the extreme.
She threw herself into Gu Nanxiao's arms.
"Nan Xiao, you must avenge Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao cannot suffer such an injustice."
"Gu Lingshuang is so cruel. How could I give birth to such a cruel person? Is she really my daughter?"
Gu Nanxiao was furious. He had never been so angry before.
He said to the guards, "Open the cell. I want to take Jiaojiao away."
Even if the bailiffs had the guts to do so, they would not dare to open the cell.
"General, please don't embarrass me. She was imprisoned by His Majesty's order. If I let her go, my whole family will die."
When Gu Nanxiao heard this, he was enveloped by a cold aura.
Qiao Jiaojiao knew that the emperor would never let her go easily, because he had learned so many things from her that were beneficial to the country and the people, so how could he let her go?
Since she couldn't get out for the time being, she couldn't let that bitch Gu Lingshuang have an easy time.
She looked at Gu Nanxiao and Li Jingjing pleadingly.
"Why don't you go and put pressure on Gu Lingshuang? As long as she is willing to let me go, I believe the Emperor will also let her go."
"Yes, find her, she is the culprit." Li Jingjing nodded in agreement.
Gu Nanxiao had lost his mind because he was too angry.
Compared with Qiao Jiaojiao's sensibleness, Gu Lingshuang is simply cruel and vicious. They are both his daughters, so why is there such a big gap between them?
Jiaojiao is so sensible and kind, it must be because of Jingjing’s good teaching.
The reason why Gu Lingshuang is an uneducated and unskillful playboy is that he spoiled her like that.
Spoiling a child is like killing him, so he is going to teach her how to behave.
Gu Nanxiao looked at Qiao Jiaojiao gently and said, "Jiaojiao, please be patient for a while. I will go to settle accounts with that rebellious girl Gu Lingshuang. Once I beat her into submission, I believe she will kneel down in front of you and kowtow to admit her fault."
Qiao Jiaojiao was ecstatic, great, that's great, it would be best if Gu Lingshuang was beaten to death.
Although she was puzzled as to why this idiot Gu Nanxiao claimed to be her father, she did not ask any further questions. She knew that her mother must have used some means to take advantage of Gu Nanxiao.
Haha, just go and hurt your real daughter for me.
The three of them chatted for a while before Gu Nanxiao reluctantly left with Li Jingjing and headed straight to Xiaoyao Palace to settle accounts with Gu Lingshuang.
