Seeing this, the eunuch quickly reached out to help Yuanqin up and ordered someone to take Yuanqin away for bandaging. Yuanqin apologized, thanked the eunuch and left.

Watching Yuan Qin leave, the eunuch felt pity and fear at the same time. He hesitated for a long time before saying to Ji Xingzhi, "Emperor, Young Master Yuan is a man of deep thoughts. You can't trust him completely. You need to be cautious."

Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly, rubbing his palms that were sore from slamming the table. "It's not that I can't trust him completely, but that he's completely untrustworthy. He's only about ten years old, still a child, and yet he's so cruel to me. That head feels like it's not my own. He's so cruel to me, let alone me, the descendant of his genocide..."

Ji Xingzhi really didn't know what her father meant by putting Yuan Qin next to her. He was just trying to make things difficult for her.

"Your Majesty has always been extremely intelligent. Young Master Yuan's thoughts naturally cannot be hidden from your discerning eyes. It is my fault for speaking too much." The eunuch smiled with relief. Although the emperor was young, he could see things clearly, just like... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Ji Xingzhi pursed her lips, looking arrogant: "Humph~ That's... "

In order to gain her trust, Yuan Qin really tried his best.

After a pause, Ji Xingzhi suddenly smiled cunningly, staring at the eunuch with ill intentions, grinning, "Eunuch, you just called yourself an "old slave"..."

The eunuch paused, and Ji Xingzhi's words flashed through his mind: "If you call yourself an old slave again, I will punish you by calling yourself mother." The eunuch's face froze, and he said seriously without changing his expression: "I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again next time."

Ji Xingzhi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the eunuch to really call himself that. She couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her joyful laughter resounded throughout the Shaohua Palace: "Hahahaha~~"

The eunuch was a little embarrassed and lowered his head slightly, but seeing Ji Xingzhi so happy, he couldn't help but smile too.

The palace servants of Shaohua Palace couldn't help but stop their work and looked at the bedroom of Xin Ji Xingzhi with tacit understanding. Everyone was puzzled. This was the first time that the emperor laughed so happily. No one knew what good news was worth being so happy about.

On that day, a new guard was transferred into Shaohua Palace. This guard was Liu Yang. The eunuch arranged for Liu Yang to live with Yuan Qin, which was equivalent to adding an invisible security guarantee for Ji Xingzhi. The little guy Yuan Qin must be guarded against.

While Ji Xingzhi was recovering from his injury, he asked the eunuch to check on the trial competition. The eunuch checked so thoroughly that he even checked and sent over this year's exam papers.

In Shaohua Palace, Ji Xingzhi was lying on a low couch, looking at the booklet in his hand with his mouth twitching constantly. The booklet actually contained the test questions of previous trials, as well as the answers of some outstanding contestants. The examiners of each session were all recorded in the booklet.

Ji Xingzhi was originally very satisfied with the information sent by the eunuch, but when she turned to the end, she froze. The last part turned out to be the exam questions for this year. Oh my God!

Knowing the test questions in advance is cheating. Does someone as smart as her still need to cheat?

"Grand Eunuch, why did you bring all the questions for this year?" Ji Xingzhi asked speechlessly.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch was stunned for a moment before replying, "Didn't the emperor say the more thorough the investigation, the better?"

The eunuch felt that he had investigated everything very clearly and the emperor should be happy.
