Without an official title, he controlled a secret guard of the current emperor.
He might be in the Ministry of Appointments today or in the Ministry of Justice Tomorrow. This did not matter. No matter where he was, it represented where the emperor was paying attention.
It was the sharpest sword in the emperor’s hand.
Using his fingers to condense his Qi, Ji Xingchen drew a line in the middle of the jade pendant.
His internal energy was pressuring, and the jade pendant broke silently. This uniform crack was even more neat than a craftsman’s.
Ji Xingchen put away the left half and let Xia Ling take the right half. He tied it around his waist and even brought it with him when he went out to play.
The secret guards had countless eyes and ears in the capital.
Perhaps the peddlers walking on the streets or the people selling Tofu on the street were their eyes.
Xia Ling wore the jade, so everyone who saw her would protect her.
“thank you, husband. ” Seeing how serious Ji Xingchen was, Xia Ling naturally knew that this jade was not an ordinary object.
As she thanked him, Xia Ling looked around.
Other than the old maid who was guarding them, it seemed that the other members of the JI family had taken a different path.
She took a step forward and approached Ji Xingchen. She stood on Tiptoe, raised her head, and kissed Ji Xingchen on the chin.
“This is a thank you gift. ” Xia Ling quickly retreated.
She originally wanted to Kiss Ji Xingchen’s thin lips, but Ji Xingchen was someone who practiced martial arts.
Xia Ling Rashly approached him, and Ji Xingchen’s body instinctively defended itself. That indiscernible trace of killing intent and vigilance… …
Xia Ling was still afraid. Her body was, after all, an ordinary person, and she could not withstand a casual slap from Ji Xingchen.
Her face was burning, but Xia Ling maintained her composure and looked away.
She and Ji Xingchen had not eaten breakfast yet.
“Darling, I’m hungry. Let’s walk faster, ” Xia Ling said as she walked in front.
The maidservants all lowered their heads and did not dare to look too much. They hurriedly followed her.
Ji Xingchen stood where he was for a long time before he raised his hand. He wiped his Chin with his index finger and gently placed it on his lips.
The feeling left on his Chin was still moist.
However, the person who had ‘ambushed’ him earlier had already walked far away.
Ji Luoqing, was she treating him like this because of her straightforward personality, or… … because she liked him ? ?
Ji Xingchen’s face flashed with deep thought as he sneered. Suddenly, he recalled the scene he had seen outside the estate when Ji Luoqing had made him look like dirt in order to get Xiao Yao to do it.
Ji Luoqing liked Xiao Yao and had done so much for him. Ji Xingchen knew this better than anyone else.
Therefore, he should not have such an illusion.
Ji Luoqing liked Xiao Yao, not him.
After his emotions calmed down, the dark expression in Ji Xingchen’s eyes also calmed down.
He frowned slightly and turned his head to stare in a few directions. He waited for his worried brothers to slowly be spotted by him from the bushes behind him.
Only then did Ji Xingchen take long strides and walk towards the Star courtyard at a moderate pace.
As a person who had always been revered by others, Ji Xingchen was caught off guard by a girl’s sudden sneak attack.
Ji Xingchen had found a perfect explanation for Xia Ling’s stolen kiss just now.
Xia Ling was waiting for JI Xingchen to eat together in the star courtyard.
Ji Xingchen had returned.
Xia Ling observed him.
She had kissed him just now. Now, he should at least know a little of her feelings for him.
Would Ji Xingchen be a little uneasy?
Xia Ling sat behind the table, speculating and looking forward to it. She allowed the maid to prepare the dishes, and her gaze would occasionally look at Ji Xingchen’s face.
Ji Xingchen ate his meal calmly. Even when he was being watched by her, he would smile slightly, his expression gentle, and he would act as usual.
Xia Ling finally understood that Ji Xingchen did not take her secret kiss seriously at all.
