Ji Xingzhi was just marveling at how someone could combine unrestrained, flamboyant, ruffian, and noble qualities in one person when he saw the man in white stop and stare at Ji Xingzhi's hand holding Xiao Moyan's arm. He widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "Your Highness... Your Highness?"
In fact, the young man in white that Ji Xingzhi cared about was Bai Xiu.
Seeing Bai Xiu's cry, the people in the inn seemed to come to their senses. They dropped their disguises, knelt on one knee, lowered their heads slightly, clenched their right fists on their chests, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned. She glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, her mind a little confused. What was going on?
Xiao Moyan said calmly, "No need to be polite."
Bai Xiu took over the job from the equally bewildered shopkeeper, and personally took Xiao Moyan and Ji Xingzhi into a room.
"What's going on in the city?" Xiao Moyan asked.
Bai Xiu replied, "The Xia family members lurking in the city had not been completely eliminated and were hidden by Xue Huoqin. A few days after you left, Xue Huoqin sent people to surround the palace and then ordered the city to be sealed off."
After hearing this, Ji Xingzhi's mind was not on Xue or Qin Fengcheng's affairs, but on frowning at Bai Xiu and saying, "Eliminating the Xia family...Are you from Liuyun Milin?"
Wu Fang had reported to her before that there were people similar to Liuyun Milin who were hunting down the Xia family, those strange men in black. Looking at the white brocade robe on this person, there were cirrus cloud patterns on the collar, cuffs, hem, belt, and chest, which was the unique symbol of Liuyun.
And judging by the attitude of these people towards the emperor's uncle, it is obvious that they are treating their master...
Bai Xiu was slightly stunned, his eyes turned to Ji Xingzhi who interrupted, and cast a puzzled look at Xiao Moyan, but the latter ignored him.
Bai Xiu had no choice but to nod to Ji Xingzhi in a friendly manner and said, "My name is Liuyun Bai Xiu."
When Ji Xingzhi heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked at Bai Xiu with a fiery look. She stared at Bai Xiu with excitement and said, "You are Bai Xiu?"
Bai Xiu was indeed handsome, but he was still a step behind her uncle.
"Who is the girl?" Bai Xiu asked with a puzzled frown.
Ji Xingzhi smiled, put her arms around Xiao Moyan's waist, and said proudly, "I am your prince's fiancée. My name is Azhi."
Bai Xiu looked at Ji Xingzhi holding Xiao Moyan's hand, and saw that Xiao Moyan showed no intention of explaining. A flicker of astonishment flashed across Bai Xiu's eyes. Why did the Palace Master, who had always been aloof from women, suddenly bring a woman with him? And behave so intimately?
"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Bai Xiu asked suspiciously.
This woman looked like an ordinary person and was not worthy of being the Palace Master.
Ji Xingzhi raised her eyebrows slightly: "You don't believe it?"
Bai Xiu neither nodded nor shook his head, but looked at Ji Xingzhi silently, obviously distrustful.
Ji Xingzhi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, as if she was worried about how to make Bai Xiu believe her.
After thinking for a while, Ji Xingzhi's eyes flashed, and the hand that was hugging Xiao Moyan's waist changed to hug Xiao Moyan's neck. Under Bai Xiu's shocked gaze, she kissed Xiao Moyan on the face, leaving Bai Xiu stunned.
"You! You you...!!" Bai Xiu pointed at Ji Xingzhi, but couldn't figure out what he meant by "you" after he kept saying it for a long time.
Ji Xingzhi giggled, feeling very proud.
Seeing this, Xiao Moyan reached out and took Ji Xingzhi's hand away, saying lightly: "Stop it."
Ji Xingzhi nodded obediently and said with a smile: "Okay."
