So, Ji Xingzhi continued to change the subject: "Isn't Xiao Nian with you?"
Zhou You seemed to have thought of something, his expression faltering for a moment. He paused before replying, "Xiao Nian...she can't leave the palace at will right now."
When Ji Xingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What's going on?"
Zhou You was silent for a moment and then said, "Xiao Nian is now the Water Emperor's concubine. She rarely has the opportunity to leave the palace. In addition, the Water Emperor issued an order some time ago that only people can enter the Shuizhou Palace but not leave. I haven't seen her for a few days."
"The Water Emperor's concubine?" Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. Didn't Xiao Nian like Shui Lianqing? Shui Lianqing and Xiao Nian were separated by a deep blood feud. Normally, Xiao Nian wouldn't be with her enemy's brother. Even if they wanted to investigate Shui Lianche, there was no need for Xiao Nian to make such a sacrifice.
Ji Xingzhi didn't quite understand Xiao Nian's intention, and Zhou You, who had always been by Xiao Nian's side as a brother, also expressed his incomprehension.
"I objected, but Miss Xiao Nian's temper is also known, and there is no way to persuade her." Zhou You still remembered the time when Xiao Nian was training under the Du family courtyard. With her petite body and tenacious perseverance, she killed two wolves alone, refused to help, and refused to run away.
When she emerged, Xiao Nian was covered in blood, her dress soaked through with it. It was hard to tell if it was wolf blood or human blood. Her frail frame, bright eyes, and strength were heartbreaking. At the time, Xiao Nian was only about ten years old.
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Is there any way to enter the palace?"
Zhou You paused and said, "There is a way, but it's easy to get in, but hard to get out."
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi was silent for a moment, but finally nodded and decided to enter the palace.
Now that the imperial capital of Lizhou was under attack by Luo Ling, she couldn't ask Lizhou for help. Furthermore, even if Luo Ling hadn't happened, it would take time for her to send a message back to Lizhou, and waiting for reinforcements from Lizhou would also take time. It would take at least a month for the reinforcements to arrive, and she couldn't wait that long right now.
No one knew where Xiao Moyan had gone, so Ji Xingzhi could only find a way to contact Ji Ruhua and others who were trapped in the palace, and then try to leave the Shuizhou Palace.
An hour later.
Ji Xingzhi looked at the woman in the mirror, wearing a pink, floor-length dress and a translucent pink gauze dress. The corners of her mouth twitched. She looked at Zhou You, who couldn't help but smirk, and said, "Is this the solution you mentioned?"
It would be fine if they just let her wear such a fantasy dress, and put several hairpins and silk flowers in her hair, but they actually wanted her to go to the Shuizhou Palace to participate in the queen selection!
Ji Xingzhi had a curse word in her mind but she didn't know whether to say it or not...
Zhou You covered his lips and coughed lightly, saying, "This is the only safest way right now."
Although Ji Xingzhi was extremely reluctant, she still did as Zhou You said. As Zhou You said, Shui Lianche had silently invited the five states to participate in the selection process, and the women who participated in the selection process would surely be numerous and crowded.
The best way is to sneak into the palace in the name of being selected as the queen.
Ji Xingzhi took a deep breath resignedly, looked at her gorgeously dressed self in the mirror, and glanced at Zhou You: "Your taste needs to improve. Only I can pull off this outfit."
It's really too vulgar, but fortunately she is good-looking.
Zhou You: “…”
Is it necessary? When you praise yourself, you don't forget to put him down...
