Yu Xi rushed to the county government office without stopping. He was exhausted and came in front of Xiao Moyan without stopping for a moment.
"Your Highness, there is news about the Emperor." Yu Xi leaned forward slightly and clasped his fists.
Xiao Moyan suddenly turned around, his face as cold and ethereal as a fairy was still calm and indifferent, but in that pair of eyes that were always calm and cool, a certain unknown light flashed in that instant: "Is he dead or alive?"
A character who is like a banished immortal, his words and appearance are two extremes.
Yu Xi seemed to be accustomed to Xiao Moyan's way of asking questions, and replied in a cold voice: "Not dead."
When Xiao Moyan heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Ji Xingzhi and Su Yang followed their grandparents in an ox cart all the way to Dongping County. On the way, Ji Xingzhi left many arrow marks on the road under the pretext of going to the toilet, hoping that the eunuch and others could see it.
"Huh? You look quite decent in men's clothes." Su Yang supported his chin with his hand and nodded in praise.
Grandpa and grandma also smiled and praised it for being beautiful.
Ji Xingzhi smiled. She was an expert at wearing men's clothing and had been wearing it since she was a child.
Why is Ji Xingzhi wearing men's clothes?
What happened was that the four of them had been walking for three days. The snow had stopped, but it had just rained and grandma slipped while walking. In order to prevent grandma from falling, Ji Xingzhi used his small body to support her, but he himself fell into a puddle.
Although she was in a state of disarray and Su Yang kept mocking her, Ji Xingzhi didn't care at all. Perhaps it was because her grandmother didn't pose a threat or have bad intentions towards her, or perhaps it was because she was just being kind and instinctively went to help her. She thought her fall would only hurt for a while, and Su Yang's teasing would be fine. But her grandmother was old, and if she fell, it would most likely be fatal.
So, grandma altered her own clothes and made a temporary robe. Because she was in a hurry and worried that Ji Xingzhi would feel cold, she made a simple boy's robe.
This was just a small episode, but it brought genuine joy to the four people.
After the joy, grandpa sat in the front driving the ox cart, looking in a good mood.
Grandma looked at the scenery around her with a smile and talked about her youth.
"Your grandfather was shy when he was young. I went out with him to look at flowers. He picked one and wanted to stick it in my head. He hesitated for a long time, and even when the flower withered, he didn't stick it in. Later, he said, 'It's not that I'm shy, it's that I suddenly remembered the saying 'a flower stuck in cow dung'. How could you be cow dung? That's why I didn't stick it in... Hahahaha~ Isn't it funny? Hahaha~"
"Grandpa is so funny." Su Yang laughed out loud, and Ji Xingzhi couldn't help laughing as well. It was indeed quite interesting.
Grandma was happy to say this, Ji Xingzhi and Su Yang were happy to hear it, but Grandpa's face turned black: "You've exposed all my secrets!"
Ji Xingzhi thought that the four of them would go all the way to Dongping, but things went against their wishes. What happened next was beyond Ji Xingzhi's expectations.
"Stop!" A group of strong men suddenly appeared from all directions, holding various weapons in their hands, looking very ferocious.
Grandpa and grandma were so scared that they were shaking all over. Grandma subconsciously held Ji Xingzhi in one hand and Su Yang in the other, trembling and not daring to say a word.
Grandpa, with a look of horror, bowed and begged: "Master, master, please let our family go. This money is all we have for our journey. I will give it all to you. Please let us go."
