Xiao Moyan looked at Ji Xingzhi who was rushing towards him, squatted down and picked her up.
Ji Xingzhi hugged Xiao Moyan's neck tightly, and pushed her little face towards Xiao Moyan's face. She kissed that cold and lonely face and said softly, "Uncle, I miss you so much."
Xiao Moyan's expression was indifferent. He freed one hand to touch Ji Xingzhi's neck. His slender fingers lingered on the bell. His eyes were slightly cold as he said calmly, "Voluntary?"
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned. After realizing that Xiao Moyan was asking about the Symbiotic Bell, she shook her head vigorously and said, "It's not that I can't take it off. Uncle, can you help me take it off?"
Xiao Moyan took out a ball of cotton from somewhere, stuffed it into the bell and said, "The Symbiotic Bell will not be destroyed unless it is dead. As long as the bell doesn't ring, he won't be able to find you."
After a pause, Xiao Moyan continued, "The cotton will dissolve in water. Don't let the bell touch the water."
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly, buried her head in Xiao Moyan's neck, and said lazily: "Yeah."
Ji Xingzhi happily returned to Lizhou Kingdom with Xiao Moyan. Although the journey was tiring, Ji Xingzhi did not feel it was hard. Instead, she hoped that time would pass slower... even slower...
Sure enough, how fast time passes has a lot to do with who is around you.
——
An ordinary horse-drawn carriage slowly moved forward along the official road interspersed with jungles. The carriage was very ordinary, with only one driver driving the horses.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Moyan sat quietly in the seat, his eyes closed, resting.
Ji Xingzhi sat beside him, supporting her chin with her hand and staring at Xiao Moyan intently. He was so beautiful and sparkling that the more she looked at him, the more handsome he became.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped and Yu Xi's cold voice was heard outside the carriage, which made Ji Xingzhi come back to his senses instantly.
"Your Highness, Wuyang City is ahead. Should we rest for a few days before continuing?" It turned out that Yu Xi had been riding ahead to explore the way, and then turned back to ask Xiao Moyan's opinion.
Xiao Moyan slowly opened his eyes, was silent for a while and said: "Okay, the eunuch must still be in Wuyang."
Xiao Moyan gave the order, and the group headed towards Wuyang City.
When Ji Xingzhi heard Xiao Moyan mention the eunuch, she thought of Yuan Qin's mysterious aunt Yuansu Zhen. Yuansu Zhen seemed to call the eunuch... Xiao Lian.
"Are the Imperial Uncle and the Grand Eunuch members of the Xiao family?" Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Moyan glanced at Ji Xingzhi lightly, and without asking why Ji Xingzhi asked this question, he just said slowly: "The eldest eunuch is the younger brother of the former Emperor Xiao, so... you should call him Second Grandfather."
Emperor Xiao's younger brother? Isn't that a royal relative? He's also a prince-level figure. But, how could the eldest eunuch, a member of the royal family and of a noble status, become a eunuch?
In addition, Ji Xingzhi discovered that Xiao Moyan had very little feelings for his father, Emperor Xiao. When he talked about Emperor Xiao, it was as if he was talking about a stranger who had no relationship with him. This was very strange.
"Xiao Lian is the name of the eunuch?" Ji Xingzhi asked.
Xiao Moyan responded in a low voice: "Yeah."
"What about Yuansu Zhen? Why did she want to capture me?" Ji Xingzhi did not ask how the eldest eunuch became a eunuch, but instead asked about Yuansu Zhen. If it were not for Yuansu Zhen, she would not have been separated from her uncle for so long.
Hearing this, Xiao Moyan said calmly: "You need to ask your father about this matter."
Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly. Could it be that this was a romantic debt caused by his scumbag father?
The emperor's uncle was the crown prince of the previous dynasty; the queen mother was the princess of the previous dynasty; the eldest eunuch was the prince of the previous dynasty...even Ji Xingzhi herself has Xiao blood flowing in her body, which she is a little confused about...
