In Shaohua Palace.
Ji Xingzhi looked at the gifts sent by the concubines and officials, lying on the table bored, her whole body blocked by the gift boxes.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Zheng asked, not quite understanding. Today was the Emperor's birthday, and he had received so many gifts. He should be happy, but why did he look so unhappy?
Ji Xingzhi didn't even bother to raise her eyelids. Among these personal gifts, only Ji Ruhua's bracelet and Luo Bai's hairband caught her eye. The rest were useless things. Although they were valuable, Ji Xingzhi had seen many valuable things, so those things were nothing special to her.
"Put it all in the national treasury." Ji Xingzhi said lazily.
Zhou Zheng was slightly stunned: "But you haven't seen it..."
Before he could finish his words, Ji Xingzhi gave him a sharp look. Zhou Zheng immediately kept quiet, nodded slightly, and ordered people to move all the things to the national treasury.
After an unknown amount of time, a cool breeze blew into the hall, carrying with it the familiar fragrance of bamboo. Suddenly, everything outside the hall became quiet, not even the sound of footsteps.
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned, a smile flashed across his face, and then he lay down on the table and pretended to sleep.
In a moment, Xiao Moyan's figure slowly appeared at the door of the hall. He was dressed in a hazy green robe, with his hair tied up high. His face was cold and his temperament was aloof. The wind blew his long hair and his sleeves moved slightly, as if he was about to fly away with the wind.
Zhou Zheng frowned when he saw Xiao Moyan enter the bedroom without being informed, thinking: The emperor is really indulgent to the prince...
In fact, only Ji Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan know who is condoning whom.
"Sigh..." Zhou Zheng bent slightly and was about to salute Xiao Moyan, but saw Xiao Moyan raise his hand slightly to stop him.
Xiao Moyan glanced at Ji Xingzhi, who seemed to be fast asleep, walked to her side, and said lightly, "Step back."
Zhou Zheng was slightly stunned, glanced at Ji Xingzhi who was lying on the table, hesitated for a moment, and finally clasped his fists slightly and whispered, "Yes."
Zhou Zheng stepped back and did not forget to close the door when he left.
Xiao Moyan sat next to Ji Xingzhi. The gift boxes that were previously piled on the table had been sent to the national treasury by Zhou Zheng. Except for the hairband given by Luo Bai which was still on the table, the only things left on the table were Ji Xingzhi's hands and head.
Xiao Moyan looked at Ji Xingzhi quietly, slowly stretched out his hand to Ji Xingzhi, and gently placed his slender index finger on the center of Ji Xingzhi's eyebrows. A white light shot into Ji Xingzhi's body from Xiao Moyan's fingertips.
While pretending to be asleep, Ji Xingzhi only felt a warm current spreading from his eyebrows to every corner of his body, leaving a warmth wherever it went.
Ji Xingzhi, who had her eyes closed, didn't know that a hazy white light was emanating from her body at this moment. The light was like a protective shield, protecting her entire body and isolating her from everything outside, but it did not reject Xiao Moyan's contact.
Xiao Moyan looked at the light on Ji Xingzhi's body, his expression changed slightly, and he whispered: "Jade Soul..."
No wonder Jiushu claimed Xingzhi wouldn't live past twenty without the Bonding Pendant. The Bonding Pendant is an ancient artifact, imbued with immense power. Unexpectedly, Xingzhi is the Jade Soul of the Soul-Calming Jade. While powerful, as a Jade Soul, it can't remain separated from its body for long. This... has reached its limit.
Although the Soul-Suppressing Jade had developed intelligence and formed a jade soul, it could not transform into a human, nor could it leave the Soul-Suppressing Jade, as if it was sealed by its own body. The battle between him and Yue Li happened to release the jade soul.
