Hearing this, the eunuch was stunned and asked in confusion: "Then why are you unhappy? It's already dark. If you don't go, the prince will think you are breaking your promise."
Ji Xingzhi sighed, looked sideways at the eunuch, and said seriously, "Eunuch, I want to confess to the emperor's uncle."
"Confess?" asked the eunuch in confusion.
Ji Xingzhi nodded and said, "Yes. I want to tell the Emperor that I'm a girl. Anyway, I won't be able to hide it when I grow up. There are still huge differences between men and women. Everyone has eyes. I'm young now, so my features are not obvious, so I can hide it for now. When I grow up, everyone will be able to see it at a glance. Besides, the Emperor's uncle will return power to me sooner or later. As the king of a country, I can't hide in the palace forever."
The idea of a woman dressed as a man is deceptive. In fact, she can be recognized at a glance.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely forbidden. The Retired Emperor has repeatedly warned that the fact that you are a girl must never be spread. Not even the Regent can know." After a pause, the eunuch continued, "Your Majesty, even if you didn't want to hide it from the Prince, you have kept it a secret for so many years. If you wish to tell the Prince, please wait until you are of age. By then, I will not stop you from doing anything you wish. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to obey the Retired Emperor's order and alienate you from the Prince."
When Ji Xingzhi heard this, he immediately stood up with a cold expression: "You!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice." The eunuch lowered his head like an elm tree.
Ji Xingzhi secretly clenched his fists, then slowly loosened them. He was angry for a moment and said coldly, "Grand Eunuch, I think the Jingxin Palace in Nangong is very good. You should move in there today. Don't come out unless you have something to do in the future."
This is equivalent to confining the eunuch to the Jingxin Hall in disguise.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xingzhi waved her sleeves and left, leaving the eunuch sitting alone on the doorstep.
The eunuch slowly stood up, his figure stretched out by the moonlight. Looking at Ji Xingzhi's departing back, he sighed helplessly and murmured in a low voice, "Your Majesty, one day you will understand."
Ji Xingzhi did not show up for the appointment. She only found out the next day that Xiao Moyan had been waiting for her for a long time. Later, she met Luo Bai, accompanied Luo Bai for a while, and finally personally sent Luo Bai to the palace gate.
When listening to Zhou Zheng's report, Ji Xingzhi felt very complicated. She locked herself in the palace and did not come out or eat anything because she was really in no mood.
Although she didn't know why her treacherous father asked her to call Xiao Moyan "Royal Uncle" instead of "Uncle", it could not change the fact that Xiao Moyan was the younger brother of the Queen Mother. Therefore, she and Xiao Moyan were related by blood.
At first, she knew that she liked Xiao Moyan, and she allowed herself to like him, but gradually she discovered that her feelings for Xiao Moyan were more than just love.
But what about Xiao Moyan? She knew without even thinking that Xiao Moyan only treated her as his nephew.
The news of Ji Xingzhi's hunger strike naturally reached Xiao Moyan's ears, and he went to the palace to see Ji Xingzhi in the evening.
The candlelight in the hall flickered, and the air was dim. Ji Xingzhi sat alone on the bed, covered with a quilt. There was a sadness on her face that had never appeared on her face that was always filled with smiles. Despite her age, the sadness she exuded was stronger than that of anyone else. She was so quiet that she didn't seem like a child.
Ji Xingzhi looked like this when Xiao Moyan came.
