It is said that on the second day after Ji Xingzhi was brought out of the bamboo forest by Xiao Moyan, the eunuch told Ji Xingzhi that Liu Yang was injured and poisoned in the bamboo forest.

Ji Xingzhi was stunned for a moment and went to check on Liu Yang. Liu Yang just looked a little pale and had a cut on his arm, but there was nothing else wrong with him. In fact, his injuries were not as serious as Ji Xingzhi's.

This incident suddenly struck Ji Xingzhi. The bamboo forest was rife with traps, so it wasn't surprising that Liu Yang had been injured. But how could he have been poisoned? She and Liu Yang had both entered the forest, and Liu Yang had been poisoned, but she hadn't. Why had the emperor's uncle set so many traps in the forest? Was there some hidden secret in the forest?

Ji Xingzhi didn't know if there were any secrets, nor did she want to know. She believed that Xiao Moyan would not hurt her, because Xiao Moyan was so handsome and looked like a good person.

After leaving the bamboo forest that day, Ji Xingzhi had been staying at Xiao Moyan's place for five days. The eunuch had tried to persuade her again and again, but she refused to leave. Xiao Moyan's casual words made Ji Xingzhi change her face immediately and told the eunuch to pack up and return to the palace.

"It seems that I can't obey the emperor's order." Xiao Moyan said indifferently.

What is the purpose?

During the past few years that Ji Xingzhi had been the emperor, he had issued an imperial decree that had spread throughout the Dixi Continent and was known to everyone. It was a simple and clear decree: "For the next thirteen years, Prince Regent Xiao Moyan shall not marry or take concubines."

It was impossible for Xiao Moyan to agree unconditionally, so his condition was that he would abide by it if Ji Xingzhi won the trial championship.

Therefore, Ji Xingzhi studied so hard and locked herself in Shaohua Palace for three years.

Ji Xingzhi gritted his teeth secretly. He actually used this matter to threaten her. Wait until she wins the first place in the test, and see what he can do.

Therefore, Ji Xingzhi returned to the palace reluctantly.

After returning to the palace, Ji Ruhua came to see her. Her tearful and distressed look almost melted Ji Xingzhi's heart.

"Your Majesty, please be careful from now on." Ji Ruhua spoke softly, as if talking to herself.

Ji Xingzhi avoided Ji Ruhua's gentle gaze awkwardly and replied casually, "Okay..."

After Ji Ruhua left, the eunuch laughed unkindly. It was the first time he saw the lawless little emperor looking guilty and uneasy.

Ji Ruhua hadn't done anything yet. When Yuan Qin learned that Ji Xingzhi was injured, he came to Ji Xingzhi and knelt on the ground. He kowtowed several times, and then banged his head on the ground, as if he was risking his life. Ji Xingzhi was frightened.

The eunuch finally managed to pull Yuan Qin up, but the guy knelt down again with a thud and said sternly, "Yuan Qin is guilty."

Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched slightly, she felt pain for Yuan Qin.

"If you have anything to say, just say it nicely. I am an enlightened emperor. As long as it's not a big deal, I won't blame you." Ji Xingzhi said in a controlled tone.

Yuan Qin said expressionlessly: "I failed to protect the emperor and failed the great emperor's trust. Please grant me death."

After he finished speaking, he knocked his head with a "bang". This time he knocked his head too hard and blood splattered everywhere.

Ji Xingzhi shuddered, stunned. Was it because of such a trivial matter? His head was hit so hard again and again. Was he made of iron? How could he not feel the pain?

"It's not your fault. Get up quickly." Ji Xingzhi said.

"I am guilty..." Before Yuan Qin could finish his words, Ji Xingzhi slammed the table and pretended to be angry: "If you don't get up, I will throw you out of the palace."

Yuan Qin paused and was speechless.
