Rumei was slightly taken aback, and somewhat flattered, she bowed to Wu Fang: "Your Excellency is too kind."

Wu Fang nodded politely to Rumei, then turned and left.

Rumei watched Wu Fang's figure gradually walking away, and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

After leaving Shaohua Palace, Wu Fang went to the Beigong Horse Farm to get a horse, and rode the horse all the way to the Nangong Gate. After leaving Nangong, he whipped the horse towards the Regent's Palace.

In the palace, riding horses is not allowed anywhere other than in the horse farm, but Zhou Zheng and Wu Fang have obtained special permission from Ji Xingzhi and are allowed to ride horses under special circumstances.

Wu Fang rode his horse to the gate of the Prince Regent's Palace. After dismounting, he said directly to the guard, "Please inform the prince that the imperial guard Wu Fang wishes to see him."

Wu Fang has been with Ji Xingzhi for many years and is known as a celebrity among the people. The guards are naturally familiar with this name and have never made things difficult for Wu Fang. One guard stood guard at the door while the other went into the mansion to report.

Wu Fang stood at the door of the Regent's Palace feeling somewhat uneasy. He didn't know whether his decision to come to the Regent was right or wrong. The Emperor had been acting very abnormally in recent days, and he always felt that something was wrong.

But the Emperor won't see anyone. If the Regent goes, the Emperor will surely meet him. Then, perhaps we'll know what's wrong with the Emperor.

Not long after, the guard who had entered the mansion to report came back and asked Wu Fang to go to the study.

In the study of the Prince Regent's Palace.

When Wu Fang entered the study, he saw Xiao Moyan sitting on a low couch, flipping through an ancient book. He had an indifferent expression and exuded an air of alienation.

Born in the secular world, but not tainted by it.

"Your humble servant Wu Fang pays his respects to the prince." Wu Fang bowed slightly to Xiao Moyan and said with his hands clasped in greeting.

Wu Fang held an official position, so when facing someone with a higher official rank than himself, he naturally had to call himself a junior official.

Xiao Moyan glanced at Wu Fang calmly, then turned his gaze away and continued reading: "No need to be polite."

"Your Highness, I would like to invite you to the palace to meet the Emperor." Wu Fang said straight to the point.

Xiao Moyan paused slightly after hearing this, then slowly closed the book in his hand. His eyes fell on Wu Fang and he asked, "Why is this?"

Wu Fang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then told Xiao Moyan all about Ji Xingzhi's abnormal behavior in recent days.

After finishing, but seeing no response from Xiao Moyan, Wu Fang had no choice but to continue: "The emperor has not eaten for several days in a row. I am really worried about the emperor's health. I implore the prince to come to the palace to see the emperor."

After hearing what Wu Fang said, Xiao Moyan was silent for a long time, with an unknown emotion flashing in his eyes.

Wu Fang had thought that given the relationship between the Emperor and the Regent, the Regent would definitely come to the palace to visit the Emperor. However, to Wu Fang's disappointment, Xiao Moyan simply said an ambiguous "I know" and dismissed Wu Fang.

Wu Fang felt somewhat resentful. The emperor cared so much about the prince, but the prince's attitude was so cold.

Thinking of this, Wu Fang couldn't help but feel sorry for Ji Xingzhi.

After Wu Fang left the Regent's Palace, he hid near the palace to see if Xiao Moyan would enter the palace.

And what about Xiao Moyan?

He sat on the low couch as if nothing had happened, reading the book he had not finished reading. His expression was as cold as usual, but his brows would frown slightly from time to time, and then slowly relax. It was not known whether it was because of the book in his hand or because of Wu Fang's words.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng's voice came from outside the study: "Your Highness, Bai Xiu is back."

Xiao Moyan put down the book in his hand and said, "Let him in."
