The woman looked no more than fifteen years old, with beautiful features. She rode with a dashing and graceful demeanor. Mr. Wang was startled upon seeing this and quickly shouted, "Qianqian! Come back!" Ji Xingzhi's brows furrowed as she watched the sudden appearance of the woman and horse. Perhaps she could have been safe on her own, but now with someone else, she feared her situation would be more challenging. In a flash, Wang Qianqian galloped towards Ji Xingzhi on horseback. As she approached, she realized her horse had gone berserk. She panicked and was about to fall off. Ji Xingzhi's face darkened at this. Wang Qianqian seemed to be the only child of the Wang family, cherished as a precious treasure. It was clear that Mr. Wang doted on this granddaughter; otherwise, someone as conservative as Mr. Wang wouldn't have brought Wang Qianqian to the palace without permission. Ji Xingzhi didn't have time to think. The moment the horses collided, she dismounted. Her foot suddenly landed on the ground, and Ji Xingzhi felt a sharp pain in the sole of her foot. The situation was urgent. Ji Xingzhi spun around, reached out and caught Wang Qianqian who had fallen off the horse, then rolled away from the horse. Ji Xingzhi lay on the ground, with Wang Qianqian lying on her stomach. Wang Qianqian was not seriously injured, but her clothes and hair were a little messy. She got up from Ji Xingzhi and stared at her blankly, half recovered. At this moment, a green figure appeared as if descending from the sky. With a simple kick of two stones, the two restless horses fell to the ground in an instant! The power of the kick was amazing! Ji Xingzhi looked at the person who came, stunned. "Uncle...?" Xiao Moyan's face was cold. Without saying a word, he bent down and lifted Ji Xingzhi up horizontally. Just like in TV dramas, the main force always arrives after the protagonist has almost dealt with everything, as if they were picking up the slack. A group of guards rushed into the stables, bowed and apologized, and then carried the horses away. Xiao Moyan didn't take Ji Xingzhi back to Shaohua Palace, but instead to the nearby Mozhu Palace. Along the way, Ji Xingzhi remained calm, allowing herself to lie in Xiao Moyan's arms. Seeing this, the palace maids and eunuchs all looked peculiar. Thus, a rumor about the Emperor and the Regent began to spread. Ji Xingzhi naturally couldn't have anticipated that Xiao Moyan's mere act of holding her would spark such a rumor. Back to the point. This was Ji Xingzhi's first time entering Mozhu Palace. The eldest eunuch had brought her there, but Yu Xi stopped her outside. Feeling wronged, she cried herself to sleep. Therefore, she wasn't able to enter that time. Later, Xiao Moyan stopped living in Mozhu Palace, and she had no desire to visit. Over a decade had passed in the blink of an eye. Looking at the lush bamboo forest before her, Ji Xingzhi felt a little ashamed. Mozhu Palace truly lived up to its name, with bamboo everywhere. Just how much did the Emperor's uncle love bamboo? Xiao Moyan was holding Ji Xingzhi as they walked in the bamboo forest. They were clearly walking in a straight line without turning a corner. However, Ji Xingzhi saw that the bamboos around them were moving at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had changed places after taking two steps. However, upon closer inspection, they seemed to have not changed. It was really incredible... Not long after they walked, a palace appeared in front of them. This palace was no different from other palaces, except for the three large characters "Mozhu Palace" written on the plaque hanging on the vermilion gate. The momentum, the font, and the ahem, it was obvious that they were written by her uncle.
