Ji Xingzhi pursed her lips secretly. Looking at Hua Yihen's expression, he seemed to be unaware of what had happened in Huazhou recently.
"Prince Xun's Mansion..." Ji Xingzhi opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard someone knocking on the palace door and Rumei's voice coming from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, have you gone to bed?" Rumei asked.
Ji Xingzhi glanced at Hua Yihen and replied, "What's the matter?"
Rumei said, "Lord Wu said he wants to see you regarding something important."
Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly: "Tell him to come back tomorrow."
Since Hua Yihen is here, Wu Fang naturally cannot be allowed to come in.
There was silence outside the door for a while. Ji Xingzhi thought Wu Fang had left, but before long, Rumei's voice rang out again: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu said that the matter is urgent and must be reported to Your Majesty immediately."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi winked at Hua Yihen and told him to hide.
Hua Yihen jumped onto the beam without saying a word.
Ji Xingzhi looked up at Hua Yihen and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was.
Shaking his head, Ji Xingzhi dismissed the strange thoughts in his mind and said loudly, "Let him in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and Wu Fang walked into the hall. He bowed to Ji Xingzhi and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly and said, "What's so important that we have to talk about it now?"
Wu Fang said with a serious face, "I just received news that the group lurking in the city were killed by a group of people wearing white clothes. Their clothes had flowing cloud patterns on them. They attacked swiftly and disappeared without a trace, which is very consistent with the legendary Flowing Cloud Forest."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but frown. "Liuyun Milin, that group of black-clad men have been rampant in Dixi Continent for so many years, and the people of Liuyun Milin have done nothing about it. Why are they suddenly attacking now?"
The people of the legendary Dixi Continent, in the words of the Emperor's uncle, the people of Liuyun Milin are equivalent to the guardians of the Dixi Continent, protecting the Dixi Continent from being disturbed by foreign races or other continents.
As the guardian of the Dixi Continent, why did you let the Xia family live freely in the Dixi Continent for more than ten years, and why did you suddenly take action now?
Ji Xingzhi expressed great confusion.
Wu Fang hesitated, then said, "There is one more matter I am unsure whether I should report to the Emperor."
Ji Xingzhi glanced at Wu Fang and said calmly, "Speak."
"When I passed by the Prince Regent's Palace today, I saw people from Liuyun Milin enter the palace and it took them a long time to come out." Wu Fang said.
When Ji Xingzhi heard this, his expression changed slightly: "What?! Is the emperor's uncle okay?"
Wu Fang paused slightly. He just wanted to say... the prince seemed to have some connection with Liuyun's people, but when he saw Ji Xingzhi's worried expression, the words he was about to say turned into two words: "It's okay."
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi immediately felt relieved: "Oh, that's good."
Xu Yu and Ji Xingzhi glanced at Wu Fang, who was standing there in a daze, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Wu Fang looked at Ji Xingzhi doubtfully and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you want to ask if there's any news about Prince Xun?"
As soon as Wu Fang finished asking, he saw his emperor's fair cheeks turn redder at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ji Xingzhi coughed awkwardly and said, "I don't care. Please leave."
Wu Fang looked at Ji Xingzhi suspiciously, then left with a puzzled look on his face.
Why did the Emperor suddenly say he didn't care? He'd always asked about it, sometimes with a dazed look, but why was he a completely different person today? Most importantly, why did he say he didn't care? It was like he was explaining something...
As soon as Wu Fang left and the palace door closed, Hua Yihen jumped down from the beam, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at Ji Xingzhi with a smile.
