Xiao Moyan's statement made Xu Taiwei, Xu Shi, and Xu Jing look extremely ugly.
Xu Jing gritted her teeth slightly, her eyes full of affection, and she looked at Xiao Moyan with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Highness, just now Jing'er was saved by Your Highness, and Jing'er is extremely grateful. Jing'er dared not disobey the emperor's order, but just now... just now Jing'er and Your Highness had physical contact. How can Jing'er be willing to marry someone else in the future?"
Xu Jing's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke. She stared at Xiao Moyan infatuatedly, her heartbroken and pitiful appearance making people sympathize with her.
Ji Xingzhi rolled her eyes inwardly, as if several animals were running past her. Was hugging her considered physical intimacy? Furthermore, it was clearly you who relied on the Emperor's uncle, so was the Emperor's uncle wrong to save him?
"In that case, it's my fault." Xiao Moyan concluded.
Xu Jing lowered her head with tears in her eyes and remained silent, her shoulders shaking, looking very pitiful.
General Xu and Madam Xu also said nothing.
Ji Xingzhi was about to ask the eunuch to kick the man out, because she was the emperor and her orders had to be obeyed.
Who would have thought that before she could even utter this word, Xiao Moyan's calm words frightened Xu Jing so much that her face turned pale.
Including General Xu and Mrs. Xu, their expressions were stiff.
Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but applaud
Xiao Moyan said calmly, "In that case..." He paused, turned his gaze to Yuxi, who was already eager to make a move, and said, "Yuxi, I heard that your swordsmanship has improved recently. You should cut off the one pound and two ounces of flesh from Miss Xu's waist that I touched. Remember, no blood can be seen, or you will pollute the emperor's eyes."
“…Prince…Prince…” Xu Jing’s face turned pale and she sat on the ground, at a loss.
"Yes." Yu Xi drew out the long sword from his waist with a swishing look on his face, and approached Xu Jing step by step.
General Xu's face froze, and he moved to block Xu Jing. "Your Highness, it is my daughter who is ungrateful. Please forgive her for her youth and innocence."
"I beg the emperor to show mercy, I beg the prince to show mercy." Xu had already been crying like a tearful person, and kowtowed to Ji Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan.
Xiao Moyan was silent for a moment, probably feeling that he had bullied enough, so he freed one hand to help General Xu up, and said gently, "General Xu is a veteran of three dynasties, and has made great contributions. Your Excellency personally pleaded for my beloved daughter, so naturally I must give you face. Today's incident will be treated as if it never happened. However, this will not happen again. Miss Xu will not set foot in the palace again."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Moyan turned to look at Ji Xingzhi: "What does Your Majesty think?"
"Okay." Ji Xingzhi nodded vigorously. Very good, very good. He is worthy of being the regent and her uncle. He slaps people in the face and makes them feel grateful.
Tsk tsk, this method is cheating
Upon hearing this, General Xu's face turned pale and then pale, and he stiffened his body and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Highness."
Xu supported Xu Jing and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy."
General Xu came with his wife and beloved daughter in great splendor, but now he is leaving in disgrace.
As Xiao Moyan said, this matter should be treated as if it never happened. There are only a few people here, and as long as the Taiwei's family of three don't let the secret slip, they naturally won't have the leisure to tell anyone about it, and the matter will be covered up.
However, after General Xu and his family left, Ji Xingzhi felt happy but also a little uneasy. She lowered her head and did not wait for Xiao Moyan to speak before admitting her mistake: "Uncle, Xingzhi was wrong. Xingzhi will not sneak out of the palace again... and come to the palace."
If you want to slip away, slip away somewhere else.
