Later, after she achieved some success, she no longer worked so hard on herself.
This is because being a king has many conveniences and many things can be easily obtained.
This convenience led her to exile herself.
Xiao Moyan looked at Ji Xingzhi's lost expression, frowning slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then remained silent for a moment before speaking: "By now... Prince Luo should have already raised his army in rebellion and headed straight for the imperial capital."
When Ji Xingzhi heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Rebellion? Isn't he afraid that something bad will happen to Luo Bai?"
Luo Baike was in the carriage behind.
Xiao Moyan paused and said, "I promised him to protect Luo Bai."
He had said that he would not care about the world of Lizhou, and Luo Ling could just take it, but because of Xing Zhi... he broke his promise. To make up for it, he needed to protect Luo Bai.
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi's face turned pale: "Uncle Emperor has been seeing this the whole time...why didn't you remind me?"
Ji Xingzhi clenched his fists slightly, as if something was churning in his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"The reminder is useless." Xiao Moyan said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi was furious. She stood up and looked down at Xiao Moyan, her tone becoming even more vicious: "How do you know it's useless if I didn't warn you?!"
Xiao Moyan looked up into Ji Xingzhi's eyes and said calmly, "It's beyond human power to reverse."
The simple seven words "beyond human power" were like a huge rock pressing down on Ji Xingzhi, making it hard for him to breathe. Looking at the pair of cold and calm pupils in front of him, Ji Xingzhi's heart stagnated and he fell powerlessly onto the cushion.
Ji Xingzhi looked up at Xiao Moyan, her eyes sore: "Uncle, am I really useless?"
Xiao Moyan paused, then reached out and took Ji Xingzhi into his arms, his voice as cold and calm as ever: "No. When we return to Lizhou, everything will be the same as before."
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly and let herself nestle in this warm embrace.
Ji Xingzhi had just calmed down when the carriage suddenly stopped.
Before Ji Xingzhi could ask what was going on, Zhang Qian's powerful voice came from outside: "Protect the carriage!"
(Ji Xingzhi: Hmm? Protect the carriage?
Zhang Qian: There are too many people to protect, and shouting to each one individually is too exhausting.)
Ji Xingzhi sat in the carriage at ease. She looked at Xiao Moyan, who was calm and composed, and said, "Uncle Emperor, are you not surprised at all?"
Xiao Moyan replied: "It was an accident. It happened too quickly."
Ji Xingzhi thought about it and nodded to himself. The other party had arrived a little too quickly. They had just entered Shuizhou territory when their killers arrived. Could it be that they had been waiting here for a long time?
There was a lot of banging outside for a while, and the smell of blood came into the carriage. Someone in the back had vomited, and there were bursts of vomiting sounds.
After about half an hour, things gradually became quiet outside.
Zhang Qian, covered in blood, bowed to Ji Xingzhi, who was sitting in the carriage, and said, "It was a group of assassins with unknown origins. We are sorry to have frightened the emperor and the prince."
Ji Xingzhi was about to get out of the carriage to take a look, but was suddenly held by Xiao Moyan's hand.
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned, looked at his clenched hands, and cast a puzzled look at Xiao Moyan.
Xiao Moyan's face was expressionless, and he showed no reaction. He held Ji Xingzhi's hand with no intention of loosening it.
Ji Xingzhi frowned, not understanding why, and had no choice but to sit back in the carriage and ask loudly, "Are there any survivors?"
Zhang Qian replied: "No."
Zhang Qian’s answer was expected, but sometimes we always expect something unexpected to happen.
