Ji Xingzhi stopped moving, looking unhappy: "Father, you should also know that I am not an ordinary person. I know what I have done. As long as the uncle is willing to accept me, I can give up everything."
She didn't care about the rumors or the uncle-nephew incest. She finally met someone she wanted to fall in love with, so how could she give up?
The father and daughter looked at each other, one as deep as a cold pond; the other unwavering.
They stared at each other like this for a long time until the eunuch arrived.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, the eunuch did not say anything, but did not leave either. He just stood quietly by and watched what happened.
Staring at those pure eyes without any impurities, Ji Jiangshen's eyes turned slightly cold: "Can anything be discarded? Including your biological parents?"
Ji Xingzhi didn't flinch, facing Ji Jiangshen's cold eyes, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Father, have you forgotten that it was you who abandoned me, who had just turned one year old, to the Emperor's uncle, while you and Mother traveled around the country? During these six years, you never came back once, not even a letter. Speaking of abandoning... weren't you the one who abandoned me first? If I have to choose between my parents and the Emperor's uncle, I will choose the Emperor's uncle without hesitation."
Seeing Ji Jiangshen's unfathomable expression, Ji Xingzhi was the first to look away, glancing elsewhere, her tone terrifyingly calm: "Father, please continue to travel around the world with Mother. You don't need to worry about me or Lizhou."
She could understand her idiot father's love for his wife, abandoning his responsibilities to his country and living with his mother. Why couldn't her idiot father understand her love for the emperor's uncle and her desire to hold his hand for the rest of her life?
After Ji Xingzhi finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Ji Jiangshen looked at Ji Xingzhi's quickly leaving figure, his temples throbbing with pain. He couldn't help but rub his temples with two fingers, looking quite helpless.
Ji Jiangshen was not angry about what Ji Xingzhi said, but he felt that what the old man said was indeed right. His child was indeed extraordinary...
"Does the Emperor have a headache again?" The eunuch asked worriedly when he saw Ji Jiangshen rubbing his temples.
Ji Jiangshen had a headache problem that made him want to bang his head against the wall. It was an old injury left over from when he was hit on the head for protecting Xiao Qingyan when he was plotting to usurp the throne. However, this incident was rarely known to the public.
Ji Jiangshen shook his head slightly, a look of sadness that Ji Xingzhi had never seen before appeared on his face: "Xingzhi's current state, how can it not be a headache?"
"Why don't you tell the Emperor about the pendant and what happened that year? The Emperor will definitely understand your efforts after knowing it." The eunuch frowned.
Ji Jiangshen waved his hand slightly. "What's the point of telling her? Six years... and not even a single word about the Fate Pendant. If she knew, it would only cause her more sorrow. Rather than having her count the days, it would be better for her to die without knowing anything and without worries..."
"Although the emperor has the body of a child, he has the mind of an adult..." The eunuch wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Ji Jiangshen.
"No need to say more. Grand Eunuch, no matter what, I will try to stop Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan from having any contact. I will go to Yuansuzhen in person, but... it's a pity for Yuanqin." Ji Jiangshen frowned slightly. He placed Yuanqin next to Ji Xingzhi so that Yuanqin could become friends with Ji Xingzhi. Yuanqin is a talented person who will definitely become Ji Xingzhi's right-hand man in the future. It's a pity... Yuanqin couldn't let go of his hatred. He made one wrong step and then another. It's a pity for such a good seedling.
