The eunuch carried Ji Xingzhi in his arms as they walked through the crowd. Seeing Ji Xingzhi looking around with a cheerful expression, he couldn't help but smile lovingly. He carefully protected Ji Xingzhi's head with his hands and said slowly, "This is Wan'an Street, an official road connecting to the South Gate. Normally, apart from Young Master Xiao, few people in the court would use this road, so it gradually became a street market."
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly. No wonder Wan'an Street was so close to the South Gate. The eunuch only had to walk through an alley to get there. It turned out that Wan'an Street originally belonged to the South Gate.
"How long will it take to get there?" Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but ask.
I originally wanted to go out of the palace to see how the emperor's uncle rejected the beauty, but if I went too late, there would be nothing to see.
Besides, what if the emperor's uncle leaves the beauty behind?
"After crossing Wan'an Street and turning another road, you will find Young Master Xiao's residence." The eunuch replied.
There are many people talking, so it’s better to change your address when you go out.
Ji Xingzhi urged him to hurry up, and the eunuch nodded willingly, taking faster and bigger steps.
Liu Yang has been following the two of them silently, paying attention to the surrounding situation at all times. Although he has sent many people to protect them in secret as ordered by the eunuch, he still cannot be careless in order to prevent any loopholes from being exploited.
Xiao Moyan's mansion was indeed not far from the South Gate. As the eunuch said, it was just a matter of crossing Wan'an Street and turning another road.
For those who first see Xiao Moyan's mansion, their first impression of it is words like "clean", "unworldly" and "elegant", and Ji Xingzhi is no exception.
The entire mansion is wrapped in a white wall, with green flowers and plants planted on the top of the wall. There are bamboo branches extending out of the wall, with lush, verdant and green leaves.
The main door of the mansion was a heavy wooden door with some bamboo patterns carved on it. There was a plaque hanging on the side with the four characters "Zhulin Yaju" written in a flamboyant style. The handwriting was casual and free-spirited, to put it bluntly, it was sloppy. Although there was no date or signature on the side, Ji Xingzhi recognized the font. It was from the hand of her scumbag father. Apart from her scumbag father, who else could write such ugly words?
Apart from the two soldiers in black armor standing at the door, the entire mansion did not look royal at all. Instead, it looked like a place where a hermit lived in seclusion.
"Is this the Prince Regent's Palace?" Ji Xingzhi was a little stunned. To put it nicely, this palace is elegant, quiet, and Zen-like. The Prince Regent is honest and self-disciplined, sets an example, and has clean hands. To put it bluntly, he is so poor that he is crazy to live in a bamboo forest.
The eunuch nodded and said, "That's right."
Ji Xingzhi had a vague idea of why Xiao Qingyan had kept the Black Bamboo Hall in the palace for Xiao Moyan. Was this child crazy about bamboo? Or was it the bamboo that was poisonous?
Seeing that Ji Xingzhi was still silent, the eunuch couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, how do we get in?"
Ji Xingzhi thought for a moment, looked at the two soldiers at the door, and then turned his gaze to Liu Yang. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Aren't you a skilled martial artist? It's time to prove your strength."
Ji Xingzhi's childish voice reached Liu Yang's ears, and Liu Yang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to take you in quietly?"
Ji Xingzhi nodded: "Yeah."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yang suddenly knelt on the ground, lowering his head and saying, "I dare not... The Regent Palace is full of experts and is heavily guarded. If I am mistaken for an assassin, injuring me would be a minor matter, but I cannot afford to alarm the Emperor."
