The eunuch's face remained unmoved after hearing Ji Xingzhi's explanations. He was remarkably calm. "Your Majesty, the prince just carried you back on his back." Ji Xingzhi's brows arched slightly, and she looked at the eunuch in confusion. Suddenly! Ji Xingzhi's mouth dropped open in shock, finally realizing something was amiss. On her back...! Her breasts, while not voluptuous, stood proudly. Normally, they were wrapped with ribbons over ten times, appearing flat, yet still soft to the touch. Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhi held her forehead in her hands, speechless. She'd offered to carry him on her back out of fear of the eunuch's anger. They'd been so close just now, and she wondered if the emperor's uncle had noticed. "The emperor didn't do anything, nothing out of the ordinary. He probably didn't notice," Ji Xingzhi said thoughtfully, rubbing her chin. The eunuch remained silent, his face as still as a pool of water. "Grand Eunuch?" Seeing the Grand Eunuch's grim expression, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but call out worriedly. The Grand Eunuch looked at Ji Xingzhi, his eyes filled with an unknown emotion, like sadness, but also like sympathy. "What's bound to come will come. Perhaps it's a good thing for you to come here." The Grand Eunuch uttered these inexplicably incoherent words. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I won't force you anymore." Ji Xingzhi was confused upon hearing this. What was going on? Here. Xiao Moyan summoned Lin Feng to the study upon returning to the palace. "Your Highness wants to investigate the Emperor?" Lin Feng confirmed doubtfully after hearing what his own prince had ordered. Xiao Moyan's expression was indifferent, his tone also calm, "There's something I need to confirm." If this was indeed the case, then the Imperial Sister and her brother-in-law had been wandering around for over a decade, and it wasn't just about living in a world of their own. By now, every woman on the Dixi Continent had been investigated by Liuyun's men, including the elderly and newborns, but they had yet to find the man. Could Ji Xingzhi... be the owner of the other half of the bond pendant? At this moment, Xiao Moyan hoped it was, but he also didn't want it to be. "I'll go check it out right away." Lin Feng said, then bowed to Xiao Moyan and took his leave. Xiao Moyan stood quietly, his eyes far away. If Xingzhi was the person he was looking for, what should he do? If not... what should he do...? Xiao Moyan didn't know. Because of Ji Xingzhi, he, who had always been calm, was now in turmoil. In Shaohua Palace. The eunuch had already returned to Jingxin Palace. Ji Xingzhi summoned Wu Fang. In the huge palace, only Wu Fang and Ji Xingzhi were there. Ji Xingzhi sat in a chair, her eyes fixed on her injured ankle. Her voice was low, "Go find out who feeds the horses at the stables. Also, go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence and ask Miss Wang why she rode into the stables today. We can investigate this quietly; there's no need to make it public." Upon hearing this, Wu Fang couldn't help but ask, "Does the Emperor suspect something else is going on?" Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly, "I suspect someone is secretly manipulating this." The horse she rode today seemed overly aggressive. Normally, the guards outside would rush in at the slightest sign of trouble, but today, they were much later. Wang Qianqian was supposed to be waiting at the stables, but she wasn't there when she and Mr. Wang arrived. Then, she suddenly rushed out on horseback when the horse went berserk. On closer inspection, the suspicions were so numerous that it was hard not to be suspicious.
