After the lights were put out, the sounds of gongs and drums gradually subsided, followed by thunderous applause and cheers one after another.
"Nurse, what's going on over there that's so noisy?" The beating of drums and gongs had been going on for quite a while, but the noise was not as loud as the lanterns, which pleased Ji Xingzhi. To be honest, she was a woman who liked quietness.
After hearing Ji Xingzhi call her "wet nurse" several times, the eunuch had become immune to the word "wet nurse". When Ji Xingzhi called him "wet nurse", he could still answer seriously without changing his expression: "I don't know, would you like to go and take a look?"
Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly: "No, there are too many people and it's too crowded. Wait here for Liu Yang to come back."
"Okay." said the eunuch.
Ji Xingzhi watched the fish by the river for a long time, and finally someone came. However, the person who came was not Liu Yang, but someone else.
A figure quickly approached Ji Xingzhi, then respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, Young Master Yuan is in trouble."
Ji Xingzhi looked and saw that the person who came was the guard she sent to monitor Yuan Qin.
After hearing the guard's report, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but wonder, "What could have happened to him?"
The guard replied, "My subordinates failed to provide adequate protection and Young Master Yuan was abducted."
Huh? Ji Xingzhi was shocked. Someone was kidnapped right under her nose. Should you be in trouble?
However, this is not the point. The point is that Yuan Qin was kidnapped.
Ji Xingzhi's face was serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
According to the guard, he had been following Yuan Qin from a distance, but because the performance over there had just ended, there was a surge of people, and Yuan Qin, being small in stature, was easily drowned in the crowd. By the time he noticed, Yuan Qin had already been forcibly dragged away.
He originally wanted to go and rescue them, but because there were too many people, it was difficult to act, so he had to come back and report it first.
After listening to the guard's story, Ji Xingzhi asked a dozen people around him to follow the guard to find Yuan Qin, and ordered that Yuan Qin must be brought back safely. He only left four people except the eunuch.
Originally, Ji Xingzhi didn't want to care about Yuan Qin's life or death, otherwise, she wouldn't have left him behind. But Yuan Qin was left by her by her scumbag father. No matter how unreasonable her scumbag father was, he would never really hurt her.
Regardless of what the treacherous father's intentions were, he had followed her out anyway, and she couldn't let Yuan Qin get lost.
Afterwards, Ji Xingzhi sent a guard to wait for Liu Yang to return by the river, and he, the eunuch, and three others joined the team to search for Yuan Qin.
Fortunately, Linyi City is not big, and the palace guards are no pushovers, so they found Yuan Qin quickly.
After receiving the news, Ji Xingzhi simply returned to the inn and waited for the guards to bring Yuan Qin back.
——
In the quiet room, there was no hustle and bustle of the Lantern Festival, only silence.
Xiao Moyan stood by the window frame, reached out and gently pushed open the window. The moment the window opened, a gust of cold wind blew past, lifting the hair behind Xiao Moyan.
Looking around, the lights outside the window are bright and sparkling. The lanterns swaying with the crowd are like stars in the sky, swaying and dazzling.
People were talking, laughing, joking and having fun, all in a happy mood.
However, Xiao Moyan, who was standing under the window frame, seemed to be completely unable to sense the hustle and bustle. He stood there with his slender hands on the windowsill, his eyes were distant and his expression was cold, as if he was isolated from the world. He was dressed in a hazy blue robe. At this moment, he was like a god in the sky, so cold and lonely that it was daunting.
