"Nation Master Xi, why did the Seventh Prince of Sky Poison Country help me? At the palace banquet during the Mid-Year Festival, His Highness stood up to testify on my behalf, and last night he even sent Imperial Doctor He, an important witness, to my residence. What does he want me to do for him?"
"That is not something I would know, Miss Ji. You'll have to figure that out on your own."
Xi Xiaomeng looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Ji Ruyan's face twitched, "Nation Master Xi, aren't you His Highness' beloved?"
"Beloved?"
Xi Xiaomeng suddenly burst into loud laughter, clasped his hands behind his back, turned, and walked deep into the palace, paying no further attention to Ji Ruyan.
Seeing his strange behavior, Ji Ruyan didn't know which of her words had provoked such laughter from him.
It was rumored that the Seventh Prince of Sky Poison Country fancied men, wasn't it?
