Ji Xingzhi felt deeply that after she took over the throne as regent, she must thoroughly reorganize the affairs of the palace guards.
In fact, Ji Xingzhi at this time never thought that in the eyes of everyone in the palace, the power of the eunuch was no different from that of the prime minister of the current dynasty. He had served the Emperor Xiao of the previous dynasty, taken care of the current regent, served the Empress Dowager, and was now responsible for taking care of the little emperor.
The little emperor was only one year old, so he was the easiest to control. Whatever the eunuch said was true, and who among the people below dared to ask if it was the emperor's will? No one dared to doubt the eunuch's loyalty, not even Ji Xingzhi herself, who relied heavily on him. So the eunuch's power was truly immense. How could these guards dare to inspect the eunuch's carriage?
The palace maids and eunuchs all said in private that seeing the eunuch was like seeing the emperor, and if the eunuch intended to rebel, it would be easy.
——
In a small alley not far from the imperial palace, a carriage was parked quietly in the depths of the alley. A young man was standing next to the carriage. Then a man in his fifties walked out of the carriage holding a child.
When the eunuch carried her out from under the seat, Ji Xingzhi felt a sense of relief as if she had seen the light of day again. Damn, she no longer had to hide under the seat. Although Liu Yang drove steadily, the carriage was still shaking. She almost felt dizzy. It was because she was strong, otherwise she would have vomited.
She is the emperor of a country, but she is so frustrated when she goes out.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that Ji Xingzhi looked rather unhappy, the eunuch asked with concern.
Ji Xingzhi replied expressionlessly: "I feel uncomfortable."
The eunuch was slightly stunned when he heard this, somewhat at a loss. Feeling uncomfortable is a serious matter, and it might even make you stupid. The eunuch was anxious, and his wrinkled face showed a worried look: "Feeling uncomfortable? What should I do? Should I call the imperial physician to take a look?"
In fact, it is no wonder that the eunuch is so anxious. Several children of the former Emperor Xiao died early due to cardiac arrest, heart failure and other reasons. Only Xiao Moyan was lucky enough. Otherwise, Ji Jiangshen would not have been able to take over the Xiao family's world so easily.
Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched. Not wanting to argue with the eunuch about whether she felt comfortable or not, she returned to the point and said, "It's okay. Go find the emperor's uncle."
I'd better go to the emperor's uncle's place first to see what's going on, then buy some suitable clothes, go shopping, and then go back to the palace.
The eunuch nodded: "Yes."
The eunuch carried Ji Xingzhi out of the alley, Liu Yang following close behind. The carriage and horse were left there. Liu Yang had tied the horse's leash to the crooked tree in the alley. The horse looked so sick that Ji Xingzhi wondered if it would still be alive when they returned. Just as she was thinking about asking Liu Yang to give the horse some horse feed, she realized they had already walked a long way out of the alley.
Putting aside the matter of the carriage, the eunuch had already walked into the market with Ji Xingzhi in his arms.
On both sides of the wide stone road are wooden buildings of different heights, all with carved railings, hollow doors and windows, and signboards at the door hung with red cloth. Some waiters are still outside calling out to customers. There are jewelry stores, teahouses, restaurants, clinics, inns... There is everything, and it is impossible to see them all.
Pedestrians come and go in a constant stream, all kinds of people, good and bad mixed together, this place under the emperor's feet is really prosperous.
