It was a war between her and Yao Zheng. But Jin Xiaoxi had been implicated.
"It must be Yao Zheng! She framed you! You are going nowhere, Xiaoxi. I'll explain to His Majesty." Auntie Lan urged her to stay.
"Auntie Lan, there's no point in explaining. The king hates me now. I would only be a thorn in his side if I stay."
Upon saying that, Jing Xi let go of Little Grape and said, "Your Highness, promise me, without Auntie Xiaoxi you will still eat well and behave yourself. Listen to Grandma Lan. Will you? Now I have to go. Bye!"
"Auntie Xiaoxi, don't go, please! I won't let you go!"
Little Grape cuddled on her leg again and refused to release her.
Jing Xi had no choice but to force his arms apart, and leave without looking back.
Jing Xi could still hear Little Grape's crying from quite some distance. She felt somewhat heartbroken. Since when did she become attached to this motherless child too?
