Everyone was talking at once, but the two protagonists had already been taken to the private room on the second floor by the shopkeeper. It seemed that he had guessed that Ji Xingzhi and Luo Bai's identities were unusual, and his attitude towards Ji Xingzhi and others became a little more flattering.
The shopkeeper was a fat middle-aged man with a very handsome face. It was difficult to tell his gender, but from his figure, voice, and manners, it was not difficult to tell that the shopkeeper was indeed a man.
The eunuch asked the shopkeeper to bring a pot of good tea and some cakes. After the shopkeeper left, the eunuch bowed to Ji Xingzhi and said, "Sir, I will find someone to send the things back."
Ji Xingzhi glanced at the things on the table and suddenly remembered the time when she and her mother went to the market in Liangcheng. She couldn't help but sigh that Luo Bai and her mother were equally capable of sweeping things.
"Okay, go quickly and come back soon." Ji Xingzhi nodded without thinking.
After receiving permission, the eunuch turned to Liu Yang and said, "Protect the two young masters."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yang bowed and said, "Yes."
The eunuch turned and left the room, glanced around and left the teahouse with a strange look on his face.
What the eunuch didn't know was that as soon as he went downstairs, Ji Xingzhi stood up and stared at the eunuch with a faint gaze, taking in the eunuch's expression. A cold look appeared on her childish face, and she thought to herself: Eunuch...what exactly do you want to do?
Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhi waved to Liu Yang: "Liu Yang, come closer."
Liu Yang was slightly stunned, and seeing Ji Xingzhi's cold expression, his expression also became solemn.
After hearing Ji Xingzhi's words, Liu Yang's brows suddenly tightened. After a pause, he bowed and said, "As you wish."
Liu Yang hesitated for a moment and then followed Ji Xingzhi's instructions. The emperor asked him to follow the eunuch, which meant that there was a rift between the emperor and the eunuch. Although the Mingwei had always been in charge of the eunuch, the Royal Mingwei were loyal to only the Grand Emperor from beginning to end. When the Grand Emperor left Lizhou, he ordered the Royal Mingwei to protect the emperor at all costs. Between the Grand Eunuch and the little emperor, the Royal Mingwei naturally chose the little emperor.
But Liu Yang could never imagine how a rift arose between the eunuch and the emperor. It seemed that their speech and behavior were no different from usual...
Liu Yang was puzzled.
"Little brother, what happened?" Even the dazed Luo Bai noticed something was wrong.
Ji Xingzhi sat down on the chair, straightened her clothes, and said calmly, "Nothing happened. It's just that the shopkeeper seemed to have guessed our identities. I asked Liu Yang to warn him."
Luo Bai tilted his head slightly, as if thinking of something, and suddenly realized: "I know, when we were in the southwest, my father often took me out to play, and he would whisper to his attendants like this at that time."
Soon, the waiter of the teahouse brought the tea and snacks. When the waiter left, Liu Yang happened to come back.
Liu Yang whispered something in Ji Xingzhi's ear, but no one knew what he said. Ji Xingzhi's brows suddenly tightened, and his face gradually became cold at a speed visible to the naked eye. A cold air emanated from his whole body, which made everyone present shudder.
Luo Bai looked at the cold Ji Xingzhi, feeling a little scared. He hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to pull Ji Xingzhi's sleeve and timidly said, "Little brother, what's wrong with you?"
