Feng Ju's frown deepened when he heard the guard's words and saw that the woman's face was covered with her hair and she was wearing old and torn clothes.

  She looked really miserable.

  " She……was saying that she wanted to meet the Empress, so when we rejected her request she suddenly fell down and fainted." The guard said while stuttering.

  " Empress? She wants to meet the Empress? Why?"

  The other guard came forward and said, " She said that she is Her Majesty's aunt. She was clearly lying. Why would Her Majesty's aunt look like this?"

  Feng Hu frowned and said, " Wake her up. And ask her to go after giving her some food."

  The other guard nodded and started sprinkling water on Shen Jia's face.

  Just as Feng Ju was about to go in, he caught a glimpse of her clear face.

  Now her face was cleaner because of the water, so he could properly see her face.

  His body stiffened when he saw who she was. He has seen this woman earlier.

  ' Isn't she the same woman who had treated the Empress?'

  He was there when Shen Jia came when Zhao Ming fell in the pond and was unconscious.

  At that time, Shen Jia didn't tell them that she is Zhao Ming's aunt and just treated her saying that she can treat her.

  At that time Feng Ju had seen her. He stared at the woman with a complicated gaze.

  He took a deep breath and said, " Wait. Don't wake her up, instead carry this woman inside." He said with a little uncertainty.

  " What?"

  " You want us to bring this woman inside?"

  The guards were shocked hearing that Feng Ju wanted them to carry this woman inside.

  " Yeah……Er……take her to the guest-chamber for now. I'll come back in a bit." He turned around and went inside after giving them an order.

  "-_-"

  "-_-"

  The guards were still shocked but they complied with whatever he has asked them to do.

  …


  Feng Ju went to Ji Cheng's study to inform him about whatever happened just now.

  " What? You're saying that the woman who treated Zhao Ming that time is claiming that she is Zhao Ming's aunt?" Ji Cheng was shocked when he heard everything from Feng Ju.

  Feng Ju pursed his lips and nodded. He has made the decision earlier because Ji Cheng was trying to find that woman but couldn't do so.

  After all, because of that girl, Zhao Ming is now safe and sound.

  Even Ji Cheng has never met Zhao Ming's aunt personally, so he was not sure if it was right or not.

  " Where is that woman now?"

  " Majesty, I have asked the guards to take the woman to the guest-chamber for now. I apologize for taking this action myself, but I thought if she is really Her Majesty's aunt's, then we can't let her go like this."

  Ji Cheng nodded and said, "You did the right thing. Let's go to the guest-chamber then. Also, ask someone to tell Zhao Ming to come to the guest-chamber."

  Feng Ju nodded and followed Ji Cheng out of the study room.

  ….

  Ji Cheng was waiting outside the guest-chamber for Zhao Ming. While the maids inside were helping to change Shen Jia's clothes.

  He does not know yet if she is Zhao Ming's aunt or not but she has treated Zhao Ming when no one could do anything.

  So he is always thankful to her for that. And if she is really her aunt, then it's more important for him to treat her respectfully.

  " Your Majesty." He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a soft voice from behind.

  He turned around and smiled when he saw Zhao Ming walking to him.

  " Why did you call me here? Is there something that you want to talk about." She was confused about why Ji Cheng called her to the guest-chamber when there was no guest.

  He pursed his lips and said, " Yes. I called you because I want you to meet someone."

  " Meet someone? Who?"

  " A while ago, a woman came to the palace looking for you. She said that she is your aunt."

  "-_-"

  Zhao Ming was stunned when she heard his words. Aunt? Zhao Ming's aunt?

  Ji Cheng saw her shocked expressions and continued, " She was also the same person who has treated you when you fell into the pond and was unconscious."

  This made her sure that the woman is really Shen Jia. Because Zhao Ming's uncle has also told her that Shen Jia was the one who has sent Zhao Ming to her world.

  " Then……where is she now?" Zhao Ming asked in a daze.

  She always wanted to meet Shen Jia and wanted to go back. But now when she is really here, she was not sure as to how she should react to this.

  " Feng Ju has shifted her to the guest-chamber. That's why I called you to come here so that you can meet her."

  " And now when you have gotten your memories, you can also confirm if she is really your aunt or not."

  She didn't say anything and pursed her lips. She just nodded lightly and followed Ji Cheng in.

  ….

  When they entered the room, Shen Jia was sleeping on the bed. She looked cleaner and better than before.

  Zhao Ming walked towards her and froze when she realized that it's really Zhao Ming's aunt. Since she has her memories, it was much easier for her to recognize people.

  "Is this really your aunt?" Ji cheng moved closer to her and asked in a low voice.

  She bit her lower lips and nodded. " Yes. She is my aunt. But how come she is in this state?"

  Even though maids have changed Shen Jia's clothes and cleaned her up, but her complexion is pale and she looked extremely weak.

  " We don't know either. She was in this condition when she came to the palace."

  Zhao Ming felt an uncomfortable feeling seeing her condition. However, she still doesn't know if Shen Jia can really send her back or not.

  And the main question is……does she really want to go back or not?
