Ji Ruhua didn't care and sat down. She said to Zhang Qian, "You sit down too."

Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.

"Princess, is there something important that has brought you here so late at night?" Zhang Qian asked.

Ji Ruhua picked up the cup and took a sip of water, looked around, then lowered her eyes with a serious expression.

Zhang Qian frowned slightly and said, "Princess, what difficulties do you have this time? The backyard is where I usually practice swordsmanship, and no one will come here. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know."

Ji Ruhua slowly turned the cup in her hand, with no intention of speaking at all.

Seeing that Ji Ruhua didn't say anything, Zhang Qian was not anxious and waited quietly.

Time passed little by little, and no one knew how long it had been before a cool breeze blew, seemingly waking Ji Ruhua up.

Ji Ruhua stopped turning the water cup, suddenly looked up at Zhang Qian, dipped her finger in the water from the cup and wrote a line of words on the stone table.

Zhang Qian felt a sense of awe. He stood up and walked to Ji Ruhua's side. His eyes fell on the words Ji Ruhua had written with water. His expression changed drastically almost instantly, and he said reflexively, "This is impossible!"

Although the city has been closed for some time, nothing strange has happened. Everything is in order. It is impossible for something as outrageous as the princess thought!

Ji Ruzhao said calmly, "We'll know once we try it."

Zhang Qian originally had the determination not to agree, but Ji Ruhua whispered a few words to him, and his face suddenly darkened and he suddenly changed his attitude.

After some careful consideration, Zhang Qian nodded and said, "Okay, when?"

Ji Ruhua pondered for a moment and said, "I'll let you know when the time comes."

Zhang Qian nodded slightly with a heavy heart, but didn't say anything.

Ji Ruhua stood up to say goodbye, refused Zhang Qian's offer to see her off, and returned to the palace alone.

Zhang Qian sat in the yard all night without closing his eyes, like a stone sculpture, motionless.

However, on the night that Zhang Qian wasted, Xiao Moyan brought the troops stationed near the imperial capital to a place not far from the imperial city, squatting on the ground and hiding. It looked like a dark mass, and it felt like they were going to attack the city at night.

Ji Xingzhi has changed back into men's robes and started dressing like a man. People who have seen Ji Xingzhi in girls' clothes find it a little hard to accept and think it is out of place. But those who don't know Ji Xingzhi think that he is handsome, gentle, and noble.

Ji Xingzhi looked at the soldiers who were exhausted and had dark circles under their eyes, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty. If she hadn't left Lizhou without permission, those with ulterior motives wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage of them, and they wouldn't have been so tired now.

Ji Xingzhi felt a little sorry for them, so she pulled Xiao Moyan over and walked a little further away. She whispered, "Uncle, they've been traveling for three consecutive days and must be exhausted. How about letting them rest here for a night? Then go into the city tomorrow?"

Xiao Moyan said without even thinking, "No. I'm afraid the other party has already heard the news. It will be too late tomorrow."

Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned, frowned and said: "But they are so tired, how can they beat those people?"

What's more, they are dealing with people from the Xia family, so they cannot take it lightly.

Xiao Moyan glanced at the group of soldiers squatting on the ground to rest, and said calmly: "We don't need them."

Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Moyan took away a group of Liuyun people when he left, but now that he came back, there was no one from Liuyun around him.
