Ji Xingzhi was silent for a long time after reading it. Could it be that Ruhua couldn't bear to part with the bracelet? That was why she invited her tomorrow night?
Thinking about it, Ji Xingzhi nodded to herself, then shook her head with a smile. It seemed that she was right. There had been a lot of things going on recently, which made her a little nervous. Ruhua would not harm her, and there was no reason for her to harm her.
After thinking about it, Ji Xingzhi put the note and bracelet back in their original places, locked the door again, and then stood up and walked towards the inner hall. She put the box in the drawer of the dressing table and turned to ask, "Is there any news from Zhou Zheng and the emperor's uncle?"
Zhou Zheng was slightly stunned: "I... don't know."
"I don't know?" Ji Xingzhi frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly.
Zhou Zheng said truthfully: "I have been with the emperor today and have not received any news about the prince."
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but hold her forehead, suddenly missing Wu Fang very much...
At that time, the Regent's Palace.
Xiao Moyan was sitting on the low couch in the study reading a book as usual. A wisp of green smoke was coming out of the incense burner on the low table, and a bamboo branch was inserted in the white porcelain vase. The atmosphere was peaceful and leisurely.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's voice came from outside the door: "Prince, Mr. Bai requests to see you."
Hearing this, Xiao Moyan paused slightly and put the book on the low table: "Let him in."
The door opened and Bai Xiu strode in. His hair was a little messy and his face looked tired.
Bai Xiu knelt on one knee, clenched his fist and placed it in front of his chest, then bowed his head and said, "Bai Xiu greets the Palace Master."
Xiao Moyan lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Xiu and asked, "Get up. What happened?"
Bai Xiu stood up, his face serious. "Palace Master, I led the people of Liuyun to raid the dense Liuyun forest and captured the demon Xunyao alive. I learned from Xunyao that the Demon Lord has returned, Jiushu is in power, and Tiansheng will fall."
Xiao Moyan paused for a moment, as if muttering to himself: "Yue Li..."
Normally, since they entered the cycle of reincarnation together, Yue Li shouldn't have gone back so soon. Could it be that Jiu Shu was interfering?
Bai Xiu hesitated for a moment before continuing, "It's said that the Demon Lord brought back a woman whose strength was no less than his. Even Jiu Shu was no match for her. However, for some unknown reason, the woman suddenly disappeared, and the Demon Lord didn't send anyone to look for her.
Rumor has it that the Demon Lord and that woman have a bond stronger than gold, having weathered countless life-and-death experiences, their affection is truly profound. If that woman had disappeared without a trace, given the Demon Lord's usual temperament, he would have caused unrest in Tiansheng. Yet, the Demon Lord has remained silent, leaving all matters, big and small, to Jiushu. This subordinate finds this... quite strange."
Bai Xiu was a little worried. The woman was so powerful that no one in the Heavenly Saint could harm her. The chances of an accident were almost impossible. Judging from the Demon Lord's attitude... the woman might have secretly come to the Earth Seal Continent, waiting for an opportunity to kill the Palace Master...
Xiao Moyan knew Bai Xiu's concerns, and said calmly, "Are you worried that the woman has come to the Earth Seal Continent?"
"Yes, you haven't recovered your divine body yet, so you may not be his match." Bai Xiu nodded.
Xiao Moyan calmly picked up the book that had been placed on the table and continued reading. As he read, he said, "It doesn't matter. What is meant to come will eventually come."
"But..." Bai Xiu seemed to want to say something else, but saw Xiao Moyan raised his hand to signal him not to say more. Helplessly, Bai Xiu had to leave.
Not long after Bai Xiu left, Xiao Moyan put down the book, stood up and walked out of the study.
Lin Feng, who was guarding the study from a distance, saw Xiao Moyan coming out and hurried forward to ask, "What are your instructions, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Moyan looked up at the sky. The sun was high in the sky and it was already noon.
"What's going on in the palace?" Xiao Moyan suddenly asked.
Lin Feng said without thinking: "No."
Hearing this, Xiao Moyan was silent for a moment and then said, "Prepare the carriage and enter the palace."
Lin Feng: "Yes."
