So she let the eunuch help her put on her clothes and shoes with peace of mind. It was not because she was lazy, but because she wanted to make the eunuch feel at ease.

…

Well...she admitted that she was indeed lazy.

"Eunuch, have you seen the emperor's uncle?" Ji Xingzhi asked boredly, playing with the jade hairpin in his hand.

The eunuch combed Ji Xingzhi's hair, his fingers gliding nimbly through her hair. After a while, he tied up her long black hair and stretched out his hand to Ji Xingzhi, saying, "The prince is watching in the courtyard."

Ji Xingzhi handed the jade hairpin to the eunuch and muttered, "Why are you looking at it again? Idiot..."

The eunuch fixed Ji Xingzhi's hair with a jade hairpin. Hearing Ji Xingzhi's almost complaining voice, he couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, you are joking. If the prince is a fool, there will be no smart people in the world."

Ji Xingzhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh? What do you mean?"

After a pause, Ji Xingzhi pulled the eunuch over and sat down at the table. She looked at him excitedly and said, "Eunuch, tell me about the emperor's uncle's past."

She seemed to have never known about the emperor's uncle's past, and what she knew was only a little bit, such as the well-known handing over of the imperial seal to someone else, and the engagement with An Huaxin, etc. She wanted to know some secrets of the emperor's uncle that others didn't know... or some little-known secrets. That would make her feel that she was different from others in the eyes of the emperor's uncle, and her status seemed to have been improved in some way.

However, upon hearing this, the eunuch's gaze suddenly shifted to the distant horizon, as if remembering something. His expression changed slightly, and he said, "The prince's past...it's better if you don't know."

Ji Xingzhi was even more pleased when the eunuch said this. He said half of the words and left the other half. It was very uncomfortable to keep people in suspense, just like being scratched by a cat.

"Grand Eunuch, is there anything I shouldn't know? Did the Emperor's uncle ever plot a rebellion? That's terrible! I have to rush back to the Imperial Capital and send troops to capture him." Ji Xingzhi pretended to be angry. What was he saying? In a flash, he slammed the table and stood up, pretending to return to the Imperial Capital.

The eunuch naturally saw through Ji Xingzhi's little trick at a glance, but he still gave Ji Xingzhi face and did not expose her. He just pulled Ji Xingzhi back to her seat.

Under Ji Xingzhi's kind and expectant gaze, the eunuch sighed softly: "Your Majesty, in your heart, what kind of person is the prince?"

Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi laughed heartily, her eyebrows dancing with joy: "The emperor's uncle is naturally an extremely good person, a radiant and elegant person, detached from the mundane world... a kind of exiled immortal."

The eunuch couldn't help but frown upon hearing this and asked, "Your Majesty...if you knew about the prince's past, I'm afraid it would damage his image in your heart. Do you...really want to know?"

Ji Xingzhi paused. Would it damage his image? Could it be that the emperor's uncle was once a heinous villain? Murderer, arson? Or even a criminal?

Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhi's heart trembled. It was over... No matter how bad the emperor's uncle was, she loved him. She could even imagine how handsome he was when he killed people. But when she thought of the crimes he committed... she felt bad.

What to do? Has she fallen into the legendary love?

Seeing Ji Xingzhi's tangled face and hesitant to speak, the eunuch couldn't help but call out, "Emperor?"

Ji Xingzhi came back to his senses, as if he had made up his mind. He looked at the eunuch and said with a firm face: "Eunuch, you said I can hold on."

The eunuch: “…”
