The reason why the eunuch and Xiao Moyan did not tell Ji Xingzhi at the beginning was simply because they did not want Ji Xingzhi to be involved in these dark events and lose the innocence that a child should have. Also, it was to prevent Luo Ling from noticing any clues.
Indeed.
Luo Ling didn't realize it, and Ji Xingzhi was also kept in the dark.
Ji Xingzhi gathered her thoughts and pondered for a moment before slowly asking, "How is He Wan doing in the palace?"
He Wan can be considered as her benefactor. Although she does not need such a favor, things have come to this point and she has no choice.
Upon hearing this, the eunuch replied truthfully, "Everything is fine. Perhaps because He Wan knew the princess when they were in the southwest, he has been very close to her recently. Also, he and the princess have had some unpleasantness."
Ji Xingzhi frowned upon hearing this. He Wan was from the southwest, and had come to the imperial capital with Luo Ling and his daughter. His closeness to Luo Bai was nothing special. But a conflict with Ji Ruhua… Ji Xingzhi was completely baffled. Ji Ruhua had always been gentle and her manners were impeccable. He Wan didn't seem stupid either, so how could these two have come into conflict?
Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhi asked, "What's going on?"
The eunuch thought for a moment and then cut to the chase: "The news that the emperor asked the prince for a beauty and fell in love with He Wan at first sight has spread throughout the five states... It's simply because someone in the palace gossiped about it that the princess and He Wan have grown tired of each other. The princess doesn't want to see He Wan anymore, so she rarely spends time with the princess anymore."
After hearing this, Ji Xingzhi touched his chin and thought it was not a big deal.
At this point, the eunuch changed the subject: "He Wan seems quite clever, but for some reason yesterday, she actually said something so outrageous as 'replace' to the princess. The princess's maid, Xiao Juan, was so enraged that she fought with He Wan and has now been locked up by the princess."
Ji Xingzhi listened to the eunuch's narration and found that Xiaojuan was a good maid for her master from this incident.
Ahem, getting off topic.
"Grand Eunuch, go back and tell Ruhua to release Xiaojuan. She has been in the palace alone for many years, and it is rare to have a loyal maid." As soon as Ji Xingzhi said this, she had already made up her mind.
Upon hearing this, the eunuch smiled and said, "Yes."
Ji Xingzhi stood up, straightened her clothes, and said seriously, "Prepare to return to the palace."
With the help of the eunuch, Ji Xingzhi has recovered into the lively and cheerful little emperor he used to be. He is wearing a light yellow robe, his hair is tied into a bun with a yellow headband. Except for his slightly pale face, he does not look like someone who has just recovered from a serious illness.
"Are the eunuch and the imperial uncle at home?" Ji Xingzhi tied the belt around her waist into a bow and asked casually.
The eunuch replied, "The prince is in the room."
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly, looking at the bow she had tied with satisfaction, and said nonchalantly, "I'll go say hello to the emperor's uncle. Grand Eunuch, you and Liu Yang wait outside for a while."
Upon hearing this, the eunuch frowned slightly: "Yes."
Ji Xingzhi went straight to the next room, leaving the eunuch alone with a worried look on his face.
He was afraid that he could not complete the task assigned by the Grand Emperor. If he really designed to alienate the Emperor and the Prince, he would feel like an unforgivable sinner.
He shook his head secretly. Although the emperor was young, he was a smart man with his own ideas. It was the emperor's freedom to choose what to do, and even the grand emperor should not interfere.
But the eunuch never expected that his failure to interfere would cause Ji Xingzhi to fall into such a painful abyss in the future.
