At this moment, a mournful cry was heard from afar: "Emperor"

That hoarse voice was clearly that of the eunuch.

The eunuch walked over quickly, followed by the dusty Liu Yang.

Ji Xingzhi stood up to greet the eunuch and opened her arms to welcome him.

"Is the emperor hurt? It's my fault for not protecting him properly and causing the emperor to suffer." The eunuch squatted down, held Ji Xingzhi's shoulders, turned Ji Xingzhi around and looked at her. Seeing that Ji Xingzhi's clothes were covered in blood, he burst into tears.

Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned, and quickly reached out to wipe away the eunuch's tears, holding his face and looking at it carefully.

The eunuch is old, his face is full of wrinkles and his hair is gray, but through his deep eyes, high nose bridge and well-defined face, one can still see the brilliance of his youth.

With this, Ji Xingzhi came to a conclusion: "Grand Eunuch, you must have been very handsome when you were young."

Hearing this, the eunuch was stunned. Was the emperor's focus wrong? Shouldn't they hug each other and cry bitterly, pouring out their hearts to each other?

The eunuch couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xiao Moyan.

Xiao Moyan slowly stood up, glanced at the eunuch and Ji Xingzhi, and then walked out...

The eunuch's face darkened. He meant to ask the prince why he asked this question, not to ask the prince to avoid it.

Liu Yang also tactfully withdrew: "I'll take my leave."

When leaving, he didn't forget to close the door.

Thus, only the eunuch and Ji Xingzhi were left in the room.

"Grand Eunuch, I want to know why Yuansu Zhen captured me. He clearly wanted to put me to death, but he didn't kill me. What's the reason?" Ji Xingzhi's intuition told her that the Grand Eunuch must know the reason.

Oh, actually it wasn't an intuition, but it was because Yuansu Zhen called out the eunuch's name at that time, and the eunuch looked surprised when he saw Yuansu Zhen. Ji Xingzhi rarely saw the eunuch's expression change, so she guessed that the eunuch must know.

The eunuch looked at Ji Xingzhi's back with some concern: "Your Majesty, treat the wound first..."

Ji Xingzhi interrupted the eunuch in a deep voice, "No need. The Emperor's uncle has already dealt with it for me. There's no need to change the subject. This matter has already implicated me and nearly cost me my life, yet the eunuch still wants to keep me in the dark?"

The eunuch looked calm for a long time before he slowly said, "Actually, this is not a secret..."

Ji Xingzhi rolled her eyes at the eunuch's opening remarks. It's not a secret, but you still won't tell me.

"When the Grand Emperor was still a son of the Ji family, he was engaged to Miss Yuansuzhen of the Yuan family. At that time, the Grand Emperor was elegant and handsome; Miss Yuan was as beautiful as a peony, dignified and generous. They were a match made in heaven. But everything changed after the Grand Emperor entered the palace and met the Queen Mother, who was still a princess..."

According to the eldest eunuch, the treacherous old man and the queen mother fell in love at first sight, but the treacherous old man was engaged at the time. After leaving the palace, he ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone to break off the engagement, which brought shame to Yuansu Zhen. She attempted suicide several times to force the treacherous old man to marry her, but failed. Later, she became evil-minded.

Yuansu Zhen tried to kill the Queen Mother several times, but was rescued by his treacherous father every time. Yuansu Zhen's attempts to sow discord between them failed, but instead deepened the relationship between his treacherous father and the Queen Mother.

Yuansu Zhen pretended to let go and tricked the scumbag dad into drinking the wine with aphrodisiac in it, hoping to make things a fait accompli with the scumbag dad.
