However, before Cheng Mingran could do anything, there was a sudden commotion not far away. When they looked up, they found that Ji Lingzhou had returned on horseback.

Cheng Mingran stood up, and Ji Lingzhou saw her from the crowd at a glance. He also rushed here after receiving the news. After all, as long as it involved King Jin'an, it would not be a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone began to salute. Cheng Mingran naturally didn't want to be excused in front of so many people, so she followed suit.

But before Ji Lingzhou even got close, he called out, "Ranran!"

Cheng Mingran subconsciously looked up, and Ji Lingzhou took this opportunity to take two steps forward and stop her from saluting.

"What happened? Why such a big deal?" Ji Lingzhou said as he naturally pulled Cheng Mingran to sit down at the seat next to him.

As for Cheng Mingran...

"Your Majesty..." She pushed Ji Lingzhou gently, frowning.

Because Ji Lingzhou directly pulled him to sit on his lap, now Cheng Mingran was completely embraced in his arms.

Ji Lingzhou didn't care: "Don't move, why are you shy? Is there anything wrong with this?" He was quite proud of himself, and ignored the people who were still bowing below.

Cheng Mingran was also helpless. Ji Lingzhou was becoming more and more shameless. It was really inappropriate to do this in public.

But forget it, I can't win anyway, and there are so many people here, it won't look good if we start arguing.

Wang Zhaoyuan saw this scene from below, and secretly sighed in her heart that Cheng Mingran was already so favored, which was really surprising. After all, everyone knew in their hearts that no matter who Ji Lingzhou favored, he would never favor Cheng Mingran as much as he favored her.

"Your Majesty," Wang Zhaoyuan called softly.

Ji Lingzhou seemed to have just noticed that there were people below him, and he said casually: "Everyone, get up, stop kneeling and getting in the way."

Wang Zhaoyuan: “…”

"Your Majesty, Wang Zhaoyuan captured a palace maid in the temporary palace. The maid was carrying the token of the Prince of Jin'an's Mansion. Wang Zhaoyuan thought that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to make a decision on her own, so I thought of coming to find Your Majesty." Cheng Mingran now only wanted to solve this problem.

Ji Lingzhou's expression remained unchanged after hearing this: "Palace maid? Where is she? Bring her up."

Only then did Wang Zhaoyuan dare to order her subordinates to bring the palace maid along. Ji Lingzhou looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and the token in the hand of the palace servant next to her, then gave Li Sheng a look.

Li Sheng naturally understood and went down to get the token. Ji Lingzhou took it and thought that the token was indeed real, but the identity of this palace maid... was not certain.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?" Ji Lingzhou said in a slightly cold tone.

It was only at this moment that Cheng Mingran realized that Ji Lingzhou had been quarreling with her a lot recently, and she almost forgot what kind of person Ji Lingzhou was.

The palace maid lay on the ground: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know nothing. This token... I picked up this token. I didn't even know it was the token of Prince Jin'an's Palace. I am just a maid sweeping the floor in a temporary palace. I really don't know anything about this! Your Majesty, please understand!" The palace maid began to cry out for injustice.

But few people believed this. Wang Zhaoyuan was the first to refute: "You didn't know? Then why didn't you tell me immediately after I found this thing? You said you were just a maid, so why did you sneak out of the palace in the middle of the night? Don't tell the truth!"

The palace maid was instantly flustered by this rebuttal. She looked at Cheng Mingran several times. Cheng Mingran frowned and had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Just answer the questions I ask you. What are you looking at Lady Shufei doing?" Wang Zhaoyuan spoke again.
