At this time, in the Prince Regent's Mansion, Lin Feng was reporting to Xiao Moyan: "The people left behind by Prince Xun have been sent back to Huazhou by my subordinates. The Emperor is currently in the Anxiang Tower."
Xiao Moyan nodded slightly, nothing much, just staring intently at the thick stack of memorials on the table, his brows slightly furrowed. These memorials were all petitions for Ji Xingzhi to take a concubine. Ji Xingzhi must be seventeen years old now. Looking at this pile of memorials, Xiao Moyan suddenly understood why Ji Xingzhi refused to go to court.
Seeing that Xiao Moyan didn't say anything, Lin Feng retreated. Unexpectedly, after leaving the study, a man in brocade clothes came towards him. He had handsome features, clear facial contours, and an indifferent expression. He looked somewhat familiar.
Lin Feng was just wondering how the palace could let anyone in so casually, when he heard the visitor coldly ask, "Is the prince in the study?"
Lin Feng nodded subconsciously: "Yes."
The visitor nodded slightly to Lin Feng, then walked towards the study, walked in without even knocking on the door.
Suddenly, Lin Feng remembered, no wonder he felt familiar, it was Yu Xi whom he hadn't seen for many years!
In the study.
Yu Xi walked slowly to Xiao Moyan, knelt on one knee in front of him, lowered his head slightly, supported himself with his left hand, placed his right hand on his chest, and said respectfully: "Subordinate Yu Xi, I pay my respects to the Palace Master."
Xiao Moyan didn't even raise his eyelids, his eyes were fixed on the memorial, and he held the pen in his left hand, writing something on the memorial.
Xu Yu and Xiao Moyan said calmly, "Prince Xun left yesterday, why are you still here?"
Yu Xi stood up and looked at the man who was still as charming and elegant as ever. He lowered his eyelids slightly and said, "I have come to bid farewell to the Palace Master."
"Yeah." Xiao Moyan responded neither lightly nor seriously.
Yu Xi took a look at the memorial that Xiao Moyan was reviewing and saw clearly that the memorial was about asking Ji Xingzhi to take a concubine. Xiao Moyan casually wrote a word of approval.
Seeing this, Yu Xi frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. The next moment, that doubt was replaced by another emotion, which was relaxation.
I thought the Palace Master's feelings for the Emperor had gone beyond moral standards, but now it seems he was overthinking it.
"Palace Master, I saw people from Liuyun when I was in Huazhou some time ago. They looked like they were looking for someone. I wonder who they were looking for? I have been in Huazhou for many years and am very familiar with it. Maybe I can help." Yu Xi said.
Xiao Moyan replied without even looking up: "No, you just need to protect King Xun."
Hearing this, Yu Xi couldn't help but frown: "Palace Master, Yu Xi is your guard."
After hearing Yu Xi's dissatisfied words, Xiao Moyan finally looked up at Yu Xi: "Prince Xun was assassinated several times because of me. If you protect him, you are protecting me."
Yu Xi was slightly stunned. He has always been a stubborn person. He has been following Hua Yihen for so many years. Openly, he was helping Hua Yihen to investigate the identities of those people, and secretly, he was protecting Hua Yihen.
Yu Xi had always thought that Xiao Moyan transferred him because he was worried that he would do something to Ji Xingzhi. Now after hearing what Xiao Moyan said, he suddenly realized.
Hua Yihen was attacked by the men in black because they suspected him of being the Palace Master. He protected Hua Yihen from them. With him by his side, the men in black would only be more certain that he was the Palace Master! He hadn't figured out such a simple truth, and now he was complaining to the Palace Master. How foolish!
After figuring it out, Yuxi knelt on one knee, lowered her head and said, "Yuxi is stupid."
