Xiao Moyan looked at Ji Xingzhi calmly, his dark pupils seemed to see through Ji Xingzhi completely. He looked away and said indifferently, "I know it clearly in my heart. There is no need to ask any more questions."
Ji Xingzhi: “…”
It's not fair! It's so unfair. Why is it that the Emperor's uncle can always see through everything she does at a glance? But when the Emperor's uncle does something, she has to guess dozens of times, and she may not even guess correctly?!
Is this the legendary IQ crush?
In reality, Ji Xingzhi had sent Yuxu away from Zhou Zheng and Liuyun's men, pretending to separate them, simply to see if Yuxu was a spy. If so, how had she managed to pass on the information under Zhou Zheng's tight surveillance and under the watchful eyes of so many others? Ji Xingzhi was very curious about this.
Ji Xingzhi followed Zhou Zheng and Yu Xu to an ordinary village. There were many people in the village and it was very lively. Some people even kept dogs to guard the house. When the dogs saw strangers, they barked non-stop. If their heads were not tied to a pillar, Ji Xingzhi had no doubt that the dogs would pounce on Yu Xu, Zhou Zheng and the other people from Liuyun and bite them to pieces.
In order to prevent Yuxu and the others from noticing that she was following them secretly, Ji Xingzhi took Xiao Moyan to another nearby village, found a family and paid some silver to stay with them. Although it was called a place to stay, it was actually just a place to spend the night.
That night, Ji Xingzhi was already lying in bed drowsy, but Xiao Moyan was not sleepy at all.
The dim candlelight burned quietly. Xiao Moyan sat on a worn stool. His dark pupils were stained with a layer of light yellow, and faint flames danced in them.
Seeing that Xiao Moyan had no intention of sleeping, Ji Xingzhi could not help but frown slightly, got up and sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard and asked in confusion, "Uncle? Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
It is already midnight. Normally, the emperor's uncle goes to bed earlier than her. Why are the two of them in the opposite position now?
Xiao Moyan paused slightly, a cold look flashing in his eyes.
Noticing that Xiao Moyan looked uneasy, Ji Xingzhi lifted the quilt, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and casually put on her outer robe that was lying on a chair with a broken leg. She walked over to Xiao Moyan, sat down, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Moyan looked up at Ji Xingzhi. His eyes were no longer as cold as usual, but instead contained a hint of alienation and coldness.
Ji Xingzhi's heart tightened. "What happened?"
Xiao Moyan still didn't say anything, and his indifferent gaze made Ji Xingzhi feel a pain in her heart.
Ji Xingzhi gritted her teeth secretly. The emperor's uncle was always like this. He would not say anything when something happened and would solve everything by himself. The fact that she did not ask about many things did not mean that she knew nothing. She had already given in a lot!
The more Ji Xingzhi thought about it, the angrier she became, and the consequence of her rage was...
"Why don't you speak? What do you mean? Did I offend you in any way? Uncle, can you say something?" Ji Xingzhi said angrily with a cold face.
Xiao Moyan frowned slightly at Ji Xingzhi's sudden roar, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Moyan said in confusion, "Be quiet, don't wake up the owner."
Ji Xingzhi got even angrier when she heard this! She was already mad! Why was the emperor's uncle not focusing on her but on not waking up the owner?!
"Xiao Moyan!" Ji Xingzhi was so angry that she couldn't help but shout.
Xiao Moyan paused slightly, as if he understood something, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he corrected casually, "It's called Tianshu."
