As for the old woman who fainted from hunger, Liu Yang made proper arrangements for her. He asked a doctor to take the old woman's pulse and prescribed a lot of tonics for her.

Liu Yang had already sent someone to deliver the money stolen by the child to the old woman, but he did not tell the truth and only said that the old woman lost it herself.

Because of this incident, Ji Xingzhi did not return to the palace. She stayed in the inn with Liu Yang, waiting for the old woman to wake up. However, after waiting for an hour, the old woman still did not wake up.

"Sir, how about I take you back first?" Liu Yang asked in a low voice, looking at Ji Xingzhi who had a calm expression.

Ji Xingzhi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then glanced at the old woman still lying motionless on the bed, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

It only took Liu Yang about a quarter of an hour to take Ji Xingzhi back to the palace from the inn. After making sure that Ji Xingzhi was safe, Liu Yang left in a hurry. It was no surprise that Liu Yang was going back to the inn.

Ji Xingzhi had no dissatisfaction with this, but was a little confused. As a royal guard, Liu Yang must have killed many people, including children and even pregnant women. How could such a person have so much sympathy for a few little beggars?

Therefore, the first thing Ji Xingzhi did after returning to Shaohua Palace was to call the eunuch to ask about Liu Yang's past.

Inside Shaohua Palace, Ji Xingzhi nibbled at a piece of pastry, making a heart shape out of it as if for fun. Then, seemingly casually, she asked, "Grand Eunuch, does Liu Yang have any brothers or sisters? Or, does he have any children?"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch frowned, then asked in confusion, "Why is the emperor suddenly asking about Master Liu?"

Ji Xingzhi casually opened her mouth and bit off half of the heart-shaped pastry she had made. She ate it while covering her mouth and said, "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that Liu Yang has been with me for so many years, and I don't even know who his family is. I feel ashamed."

The eunuch didn't think much about it. He filtered Liu Yang's past in his mind and slowly began to speak: "I do know a little about Master Liu's past. I heard that Master Liu entered the Mingwei training ground when he was still a child. He was one of the talented children who was finally selected after layers of selection.

Before entering the training ground, Master Liu was a poor child from a broken family, begging on the streets for a living. It was the Grand Emperor who personally sent him to the training ground."

Ji Xingzhi seemed to suddenly understand when she heard this. No wonder Liu Yang was so abnormal and cared so much about those children and the old woman. He must have been remembering his past.

For a moment, Ji Xingzhi seemed to see the shadow of his past life in the child.

"Eunuch, come with me to Fengling Palace." Ji Xingzhi stood up and patted the cake crumbs on his hands.

Upon hearing this, the eunuch smiled ambiguously, "Is the emperor going to see the young princess, or to reminisce with Princess Ruhua?"

Ji Xingzhi looked at the eunuch's smile and felt a chill. She then folded her arms and shuddered. Did the eunuch take the wrong medicine or was he having a brain attack? Did he forget that she was a girl? In any case, it was impossible for her to be with Bai Bai and Ji Ruhua.

Even though she was thinking this in her heart, Ji Xingzhi still suppressed the chill in her heart and said perfunctorily: "I have both..."

Then the eunuch left quickly and headed towards Fengling Palace.

Behind Ji Xingzhi, the eunuch looked at Ji Xingzhi's hurriedly leaving figure with a look of satisfaction on his face, and sighed leisurely: "It is really rare for an emperor to be born into a royal family and be the ruler of a country, yet to have such a pure friendship."
