Ji Lingzhou carried Cheng Mingran back to Lianyi Palace. Don’t say it, even riding in a sedan chair would be bumpy, but being held in Ji Lingzhou’s arms made her feel really stable.

Moreover, his arms were very warm. Cheng Mingran was not just saying that she was afraid of the cold, so she was instantly won over after feeling the warmth in Si Xuanzhi's arms.

"Have you had your meal?" Ji Lingzhou was just making small talk.

"Yes, I used it at the Empress Dowager's place." Cheng Mingran did not look at Ji Lingzhou while answering the question.

After arriving at Lianyi Palace, Ji Lingzhou put her down and touched her hand: "It's still a little cold. Being afraid of the cold may not be caused by external factors. Let's find an imperial physician to take a good look at it later. It would be good if you can recover."

Cheng Mingran did not answer him. Ji Lingzhou pulled her to sit aside. There was a charcoal fire in the room, so it would not be cold.

"Tomorrow is your birthday. Have you thought about how to celebrate it?" Ji Lingzhou asked her.

Birthday... "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. It's just a birthday, it doesn't mean anything." Besides, she no longer cared about these formal things.

"Tell me? I can grant you a wish, and it will be effective today." Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly. Since he didn't know what to do, he might as well give the initiative to Cheng Mingran.

Grant a wish? It must be said that Cheng Mingran was indeed moved by this sentence.

"Is anything okay?" Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou. When Ji Lingzhou met her eyes, he felt mixed emotions.

In the past, her eyes were always shining and sparkling. But now, her eyes are more indifferent, as if everything can cause a stir in front of her, and she doesn't care about anything.

"Tell me first." Ji Lingzhou said. He didn't want to make any meaningless promises.

"I want to see my father." Cheng Mingran hardly hesitated, and Ji Lingzhou did not respond immediately.

Cheng Mingran unconsciously became nervous: "Is it not possible?"

"It's not that you can't, it's just... General Cheng can't come out right now, so it would be a bit troublesome if you want to go in." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran was obviously disappointed. Although Ji Lingzhou did not directly refuse, his words implied that it was not possible.

"I was just daydreaming." Cheng Mingran looked dejected.

Ji Lingzhou couldn't bear to see her like this, but he was also a little worried in his heart. After all, such a place was not suitable for Cheng Mingran to go there frequently.

Now all parties are keeping a close eye on the movements of the Cheng family. If Cheng Mingran leaks the news, it will probably cause trouble again.

It will have a great impact on Cheng Mingran, after all, the Cheng family is now nominally guilty. Those who wish the Cheng family a bad end are worried about not being able to find any evidence against them.

But now looking at Cheng Mingran's lost look, he sighed: "Everything I told you before is true, but before all this is over, we also need to try to reduce some unnecessary troubles. But...if you really want, then I can arrange someone to help you deliver the letter."

Hearing this, Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou again: "Is it okay?" She knew that her request was a bit difficult, and she just wanted to give it a try. If she really couldn't meet, it would be good to get in touch.

"Okay, you can write down whatever you want to say, and I'll have someone deliver it directly to General Cheng." Ji Lingzhou said.

This is the next best option.
