Putting his thoughts aside, Ji Xingzhi crouched down and followed Hua Yiyao and Hua Li from a distance. After a while, they arrived at an independent courtyard.

From the outside, the yard looks very small, but there is a different world inside. It contains about five small courtyards. There are guards around each courtyard, and there is literally a guard every five steps. Fortunately, there are no patrols, otherwise it would be impossible to get in without alerting anyone.

Ji Xingzhi looked around and didn't know where Xiao Moyan had gone. Xiao Moyan was very capable, so she was not worried about anything. But for some reason, she always felt a little uneasy and panicked, as if something bad was about to happen, and her chest felt stuffy.

Ji Xingzhi reached out and patted his chest lightly, took a deep breath, and secretly looked at the small courtyards in front, waiting for the opportunity.

After waiting for about half a minute, the gate of one of the courtyards was finally opened by Ji Xingzhi and others. A woman in a light green dress came out. She was pretty and sweet. Her long hair was tied up in a single bun on top of her head, with a few beautiful hairpin flowers inserted in it. She smiled slightly and looked very friendly.

As soon as the woman in green came out, the guard at the door blocked her way and said sternly, "No entry or exit at night. Miss Biluo, please go back."

The woman in green, whom the guards were calling Miss Biluo, frowned slightly and said with some difficulty, "What should we do? The Emperor of Xuezhou didn't eat dinner today and is now dizzy with hunger. As you know, the Emperor of Xuezhou is delicate and can't stand starvation. If he starves, we can't afford it."

He paused, then noticed the guards at the door looking at each other, seemingly relaxed. So, Biluo quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Please let me go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of porridge for the Emperor of Xuezhou. I won't be gone for long."

Several guards hesitated for a moment, but finally let him go: "Then hurry up."

Biluo looked at the guards with gratitude, said thank you, then picked up her skirt and ran, looking like she was in a hurry.

Ji Xingzhi thought for a moment, then quietly followed Biluo, approached him quietly, knocked him out when he was not paying attention, dragged him to a hidden corner, exchanged his clothes, and originally planned to leave Biluo in the corner, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not a good idea, as it would be bad if he was discovered.

As Ji Xingzhi hesitated, he caught sight of a small side room out of the corner of his eye. A faint foul smell came from there. Ji Xingzhi's eyes lit up slightly, and he dragged the person over and hid him in the small side room.

That small side room was a toilet, probably for emergency use by the guards. It was not very safe to hide people in it.

So, Ji Xingzhi revealed a little bit of the hem of her skirt. Fortunately, Ji Xingzhi's dress was blue and the style was very simple. From the hem of the skirt, people could not immediately tell that it was women's clothing.

After doing all this, Ji Xingzhi was a little confused. She didn’t know where the kitchen was!

So, Ji Xingzhi began her journey to find a kitchen.

After a while, Ji Xingzhi found the kitchen, but it was also guarded by someone and she couldn't get in.

But in the end, Ji Xingzhi relied on her eloquence and cleverness to get the guard to let her in. Ji Xingzhi had a good memory, but she had trouble with directions. She could hardly remember anything that was too complicated. She had to wait for the cook to make porridge and then look for the way. This back and forth took a while.

When she saw the courtyard where the Emperor of Xuezhou lived, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh. She was really too dependent on Xiao Moyan. Xiao Moyan had been taking care of everything recently. Now that Xiao Moyan was not around, she felt that nothing was going well.
