But... she always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, and she felt a little uneasy and had no desire to sleep at all.
When Xiao Moyan came back after washing up, he found Ji Xingzhi already asleep on the bed. He covered Ji Xingzhi with a quilt, turned off the lights in the room, undressed, and went to bed wearing a light blue robe.
The person beside him seemed to sense something and moved, accurately finding Xiao Moyan's arm and hugging him. His lazy and hoarse voice seemed to wake up from a dream: "Uncle...why did you abandon me in Linyi?"
Xiao Moyan paused slightly and said, "Are you blaming the emperor's uncle?"
Indeed, if he had not left first, perhaps Xing Zhi would not have been kidnapped. When he learned that Xing Zhi was captured and took the lantern handed over by Liu Yang, he felt so complicated in his heart. It was an emotion he had never experienced before... self-blame.
"No, I just want to know." Ji Xingzhi said casually.
Xiao Moyan closed his eyes and spoke slowly: "If you want to leave, then leave."
The tone is flat and the words are casual.
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned, and felt his heart suffocated and extremely uncomfortable.
The uncle's answer was too light-hearted. Fortunately, it was her. If it was any other woman, her heart would have been broken into pieces after hearing what the uncle said.
Ji Xingzhi raised her head slightly and looked at Xiao Moyan gloomily. In the darkness, she could only see his outline. She sighed secretly and lowered her head in frustration. She should know the situation better, so as not to be thrown out by the emperor's uncle.
She put her thoughts aside, hugged Xiao Moyan's arms in her arms, and slowly closed her eyes.
Xiao Moyan opened his eyes and glanced at Ji Xingzhi casually. He left because he couldn't control his emotions. No one could ever affect his mood, but... his nephew, who was only eight years old, made him annoyed time and time again.
Realizing that someone was secretly following him, he made up his mind to leave first, just to see if he could do nothing but watch the person die. Yu Xi was right, he shouldn't have any weaknesses, and he understood that very well.
Thinking of this, a trace of confusion flashed across Xiao Moyan's cool eyes. Why... why did this child make him care so much?
Xiao Moyan frowned slightly and closed his eyes. There was no point in thinking too much, so he decided to go to sleep.
The surroundings fell into silence, so quiet that one could clearly hear the slightest sound of wind and grass outside the house. It seemed as if the world was asleep.
Suddenly, a slight moan broke the long silence.
"Uh~Uncle..." Ji Xingzhi twisted her body uneasily, and the hand that was holding Xiao Moyan suddenly loosened, and she curled up into a ball.
Xiao Moyan suddenly opened his eyes and realized that something was wrong with Ji Xingzhi. He lit the candlestick with a flick of his fingers, and the room was suddenly brightly lit. The darkness disappeared and was replaced by the dim candlelight.
Xiao Moyan lifted the quilt and saw Ji Xingzhi's curled up body. The small body was still shivering, and her hands were tightly covering her stomach, pressing her abdomen hard with her fists. Her little face was as pale as paper, with fine beads of sweat on it. Her eyes were red, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears slid down the corners of her eyes and dripped onto the bed sheet, soaking a spot.
Xiao Moyan's brows suddenly tightened, and he forcibly pulled Ji Xingzhi's hand to take Ji Xingzhi's pulse.
After a while, Xiao Moyan's brows relaxed and he returned to his indifferent look. However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Ji Xingzhi changed slightly, and his eyes showed helplessness and speechlessness.
Looking at Ji Xingzhi who was in excruciating pain, Xiao Moyan frowned slightly, took out a white pill from his sleeve, and was about to feed it to Ji Xingzhi, but his hand was held tightly by Ji Xingzhi.
