After Cheng Mingran was sent to Shoukang Palace by Ji Lingzhou, the Queen Mother did not seem surprised. She asked everyone to leave and left herself alone to accompany her.

After everyone left, Ji Lingzhou just asked casually: "Have they been sent back?"

Li Sheng nodded and responded: "Your Majesty, he has been sent back to Shoukang Palace and is now accompanied by the Empress Dowager." He replied.

Ji Lingzhou stopped talking after hearing this and just sat aside alone. Li Sheng lowered his head beside him and did not dare to speak.

After a long time, Ji Lingzhou finally spoke again: "Is there anyone caring about the Eastern Palace now?" he suddenly asked.

Eastern Palace? Why did His Majesty suddenly mention the Eastern Palace? But since His Majesty had already asked, there was no reason for him not to answer.

"Your Majesty, there are always people cleaning the East Palace." Li Sheng replied.

"Are all those old things still kept?" he asked again.

"In the past, there were special people to collect your Majesty's things, so I think they were never thrown away." Li Sheng replied. Who would dare to touch your Majesty's things? Are you trying to kill yourself?

Ji Lingzhou actually suddenly remembered that Cheng Mingran seemed to have given him a lot of things in the past, but he had never paid much attention to them before. After returning, he asked someone to put them away.

When he saw the porcelain doll just now, he always felt a sense of familiarity. He originally thought that he must have seen it at her place, but later...

He vaguely seemed to remember that he had given her a ceramic doll like this before, but he couldn't remember clearly, so he thought about going to the East Palace to take a look.

Li Sheng didn't know what Ji Lingzhou was thinking, but they just had to obey.

and so……

an hour later

"Your Majesty, this is what you wanted." Li Sheng was panting. There were already several large boxes of things in front of him. They were all items that Ji Lingzhou had used in the East Palace before.

Seeing this, Ji Lingzhou had it opened. Li Sheng looked at the things inside and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, what are you looking for? Can we help you find it? There are too many things here. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort for you to find it alone."

Ji Lingzhou raised his hand to stop him: "No need, I'll find it myself." He said.

Okay... Li Sheng quietly stepped aside. Ji Lingzhou walked forward and looked at these things, his brows furrowed. Why are there so many things?

Ji Lingzhou glanced at the side and finally set his sights on a box at the very edge.

The things in that box are all strange and weird things. He rarely uses them. No... he never uses them at all.

only……

He picked one up at random. Was it a sachet? However... the embroidery on it was crooked. It was obvious that it was not made by a palace embroiderer.

"These things..." Ji Lingzhou asked.

Li Sheng stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Majesty, everything in here was given to you by others. The sachet in your hand is made of cloud-woven gold brocade, which was only available in the Empress Dowager's palace before, so it should have come from Shoukang Palace." Li Sheng replied.

Shoukang Palace... Then, Ji Lingzhou had an idea in his mind, so this should be from Cheng Mingran's hand? His thoughts were pulled back to his previous life by this sachet.

In her previous life, the last thing Cheng Mingran "gifted herself" was a sachet. Although the embroidery on it had already taken shape, it was not neat enough after all.

Before Ji Lingzhou's thoughts were brought back to reality, Li Sheng immediately said, "Your Majesty, most of the things here were sent by Concubine Shu before, but because you usually don't like them, they were all put into the warehouse."

Most of them? Ji Lingzhou's heart moved. He remembered that Cheng Mingran had indeed given him a lot of things, but he couldn't say anything specifically.

He looked at the things again, there were a few tiger-head dolls, masks and kites. But the kites were broken. He squatted in front of the box, and a memory slowly emerged.

He seemed to vaguely remember that he and Cheng Mingran made this kite together? But he didn't spend too much time on it, just wanted to find the ceramic doll. There should be one...

Sure enough, after rummaging for a while, Ji Lingzhou finally found a small wooden box at the bottom of the box, and took the things out.

The box looked familiar. He opened it and found an exquisite ceramic doll quietly placed inside.

But this doll only occupies half of the space, the other side is empty, it looks like there should be another one, and...

He picked up the doll, which was made of the same structure as the one today, hollow with a small hole at the bottom.

A thought suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart, and his hand gently touched the empty space.

"Brother Lingzhou! I want that ceramic doll~" The childish voice in my mind broke through time and space and instantly appeared before my eyes.

Xiao Ranran was standing on the busy street, next to a small stall selling various ceramic dolls.

"Will you buy it for me? This doll is very cute~ Brother Lingzhou~" The little girl gently pulled her robe. It was very small. She was only five years old, and the doll just reached the root of her thighs.

Her hands were chubby, and she was holding onto his sleeves and refused to let go. Ji Lingzhou was helpless, but he couldn't stand her coquetry anymore and asked someone to buy her a pair.

I was originally planning to buy just one for her to play with, but the store owner said that it was the Lantern Festival, so all the toys were sold in pairs, so I bought two.

The little girl held the pair of dolls and looked at them for a long time. Her little face was red, and she was wearing a red jacket, which made her look extremely cute.

She took one out of the small box and handed the other to herself: "Give one to Brother Lingzhou, thank you Brother Lingzhou!"

She gave one of them to herself, but there were too many people there, and he didn't care, so he just gave the thing to the person next to him.

After he came back, he didn't ask any more questions. His heart tightened when he looked at the ceramic doll, so... was this ceramic doll the one that came at that time?

Ji Lingzhou felt a pain in his heart, and he suddenly asked, "Have you thrown away all those ceramic fragments today?"

Li Sheng looked puzzled: “They are all...but..." But they have all been shattered, what use are they now?

"Have someone send it over." he said.

"Yes" okay, although they don't quite understand, but they have no reason to interfere in their master's affairs.

"Also, have someone investigate today's events and investigate that palace maid thoroughly." Ji Lingzhou added.

He didn't believe there was no way out...
