Xiao Moyan walked forward, the candle behind him burning, casting Xiao Moyan's shadow. The black shadow fell on Ji Xingzhi, making Ji Xingzhi hidden in Xiao Moyan's shadow.
"Uncle?" Ji Xingzhi came back to his senses as he was suddenly shrouded in shadow, and was slightly stunned.
Xiao Moyan leaned down and stared at Ji Xingzhi. His voice was less distant and more gentle than usual: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Ji Xingzhi raised her head and stared at Xiao Moyan blankly. She felt that the emperor's uncle, who was standing in the light, seemed even more handsome, with a hint of evil charm that was not in her usual appearance.
Ji Xingzhi didn't hear clearly what Xiao Moyan said, and just nodded subconsciously.
Xiao Moyan frowned slightly, sat sideways next to Ji Xingzhi, and stretched out his hand to hold Ji Xingzhi in his arms: "The eunuch has always loved you. No matter what he did, he must have his reasons."
Listening to Xiao Moyan's words of comfort, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but hold her forehead. It turned out that the emperor's uncle thought that she was on a hunger strike because she had a quarrel with the eunuch. Well, it was her fault that she didn't show up for the appointment last night and sent the eunuch to Jingxin Palace. As a result, she was on a hunger strike today. No wonder the emperor's uncle thought so.
"Yeah." Ji Xingzhi didn't know what to say, so she responded softly and nodded.
Xiao Moyan stood up holding Ji Xingzhi, walked to the table, sat on the chair, and said loudly: "Bring it in."
As soon as the words fell, someone opened the door. Two palace maids walked into the hall, one holding a cup and the other holding bowls, chopsticks, spoons and other items. They placed the cups, bowls, chopsticks, etc. on the table carefully, then stepped back a few steps and left. As soon as they walked out of the hall, someone closed the door again.
"How about having some porridge with the emperor's uncle?" Xiao Moyan asked.
Ji Xingzhi sniffed and smelled a faint meaty aroma. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Is it meat dregs porridge again?"
When Xiao Moyan heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes and he opened the lid of the cup. As soon as the lid was opened, hot steam immediately came out and a strong fragrance filled the air.
Ji Xingzhi stretched his head to take a look and saw that there was not only meat but also bones in the porridge. A satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Lean meat porridge!"
The lean meat porridge we usually eat has so little meat in it that you can hardly see it, let alone bones.
Xiao Moyan picked up the soup spoon and was about to serve the porridge when he suddenly stopped. He lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Xingzhi in his arms: "Come down first."
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi reluctantly got off Xiao Moyan's legs with a pout and sat on the chair next to him.
After drinking the porridge, Xiao Moyan told Ji Xingzhi to rest early and left.
The next morning, Wu Fang came to report that Su Cheng had returned and that he had been arranged to stay in an inn.
Ji Xingzhi changed into everyday clothes and followed Wu Fang out of the palace to the inn to meet Su Cheng.
In the guest room.
Su Cheng was sitting at the table, playing with an empty teacup out of boredom. He put the teacup upside down, rolled it back and forth, and had a lot of fun.
Suddenly, the door creaked open and someone pushed it open and walked in.
Su Cheng looked over reflexively and saw Wu Fang and Ji Xingzhi. He quickly stood up and bowed to Ji Xingzhi, "Sir."
Ji Xingzhi waved her hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities, walked over and sat down, pouring herself a cup of tea: "Why are you back? Have you seen your cousin?"
When Su Cheng heard Ji Xingzhi ask this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, then sighed in a pretentious manner and said, "I saw him, and I gave him the antidote."
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi chuckled: "Then why are you sighing?"
