Ji Xingzhi ran all the way to Xiao Moyan's elegant residence in the bamboo forest. The distance was not long, but not short either. She kept running without stopping for a moment, but she never took a breath along the way. Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but wonder, she had never noticed that her physical fitness seemed to be extraordinarily good...
The eunuch also trotted behind Ji Xingzhi, his face calm and his breath steady. As the eunuch was skilled in martial arts, he would not be out of breath after running such a short distance. At first, the eunuch had been pretending to be a martial artist in order to conceal the fact that he knew martial arts. Ever since Ji Xingzhi knew about the eunuch, the eunuch did not hide anything from Ji Xingzhi.
However, in recent days, the eunuch's behavior has been very suspicious and out of character, which has caused Ji Xingzhi to become suspicious.
Standing outside the familiar Bamboo Forest Residence, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but be slightly stunned. The scenery of the Bamboo Forest Residence remained the same, with lush green bamboos, like playful fish, scrambling to jump out of the wall.
A gentle breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the branches and leaves rustled, making a rustling sound.
Ji Xingzhi, who usually rushed into Zhulin Yaju, now hesitated towards this familiar place.
Ji Xingzhi knew very well what kind of person the eunuch was. Ji Xingzhi believed that the eunuch would not harm her, but the eunuch's recent suspicious behavior forced Ji Xingzhi to admit that the eunuch had indeed "betrayed" her.
Although she didn't know the reason why the eunuch "betrayed" her, Ji Xingzhi was now certain that the only person in the entire Lizhou capital who could order the eunuch around was the Regent Xiao Moyan, besides her, Ji Xingzhi.
She could never see clearly or guess what was going on with her uncle Xiao Moyan, with whom she had lived for many years.
He, Xiao Moyan, is the only one in the world who has given up the supreme position that is within his grasp time and time again.
Ji Xingzhi really didn't understand. Over the years, she could feel that Xiao Moyan's concern for her was not fake, but Xiao Moyan always gave her the feeling of being so distant, like a bright moon rising in the fog, with faint moonlight pouring out from the layers of fog, dotted and mottled.
Uncle Emperor...what exactly do you want?
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" The eldest eunuch had been standing next to Ji Xingzhi for a while. Seeing that Ji Xingzhi was in a daze, he couldn't help but ask.
Ji Xingzhi suppressed his emotions and replied calmly, "Nothing."
Then he walked straight to the gate.
The two guards guarding the gate obviously knew Ji Xingzhi, and were not surprised by Ji Xingzhi's sudden arrival. They lowered their heads and let Ji Xingzhi and the eunuch pass.
Ji Xingzhi was familiar with Xiao Moyan's Regent Palace, which was also a bamboo forest residence, and was even more familiar with her own Shaohua Palace. She asked a few servants about Xiao Moyan's location and finally locked the destination on the room where Xiao Moyan often stayed.
He ran towards the room with familiarity. Coincidentally, when Xiao Moyan stayed in the room, there would always be someone guarding the door. When the servants passed by and saw someone guarding the door, they knew that it was Xiao Moyan inside, so they tiptoed over to avoid disturbing Xiao Moyan's peace.
Seeing no one at the door, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but frown slightly. Then, faintly hearing a woman's voice coming from inside the room, her brows suddenly tightened. She wondered: Could it be true, as the rumors say, that the emperor's uncle and the beauty are in love with each other in the mansion? If the emperor's uncle is so pure and unselfish, what kind of woman is He Wan? How could she attract the emperor's uncle's attention?
Ji Xingzhi hesitated behind the door. She didn't know why the eunuch had brought her here, nor did she know what Xiao Moyan wanted to do with the eunuch.
She hesitated not because of fear, but because of reluctance.
