After His Majesty's rebirth, he personally taught the queen to abuse the scumbag

But before Ji Lingzhou could say anything, Yun Chongyi had already lost her temper. She looked at the palace maid with sharp eyes: "Who gave you the courage to frame me? Is it Cheng Mingran? Where did you steal these things from? You are so brave!"

As soon as she finished saying this, she rushed over to hit the palace maid named Yinghui. I don’t know if this action irritated Yinghui, but Yinghui also became reckless.

"Empress Chongyi, it was you who instructed me to murder Empress Shufei. Not only that, you also threatened me with my family. Now that the matter has been exposed, how can you let me bear the consequences alone?"

"You are just talking nonsense. When did I ever say these words? You are so brave!" As she spoke, she slapped Yinghui in the face, and Yinghui fell to the ground.

Cheng Mingran just looked at everything in front of him coldly, and Ji Lingzhou rubbed his eyebrows: "Enough!"

The entire hall fell silent instantly. Yun Chongyi tried to act pitiful to gain sympathy, and called out softly, "Your Majesty~"

"The evidence is conclusive, what do you have to deny? You are a vicious woman with a heart of a vicious snake. Is there anything you can't do? You really have a lot of courage!" Ji Lingzhou slammed the table hard.

Yun Chongyi was so frightened that she trembled all over, but unfortunately Ji Lingzhou was not a kind person, even though he was the "favored concubine" before.

"Someone come!" Ji Lingzhou was having a headache because of the noise below.

"Drag this bitch out and beat her to death!" Ji Lingzhou said.

Yinghui was so frightened that she begged for mercy, but unfortunately, she was quickly covered with her mouth and taken away.

Yun Chongyi was also shocked when he saw this scene: "Your Majesty..."

"Yun Chongyi has a vicious heart and has harmed concubines. Order her to be demoted to a commoner, beaten with thirty sticks, and banished to the cold palace!" Ji Lingzhou gave the order again.

"No, Your Majesty, I am innocent! Your Majesty, I did not murder Concubine Shu, she made all these up, Your Majesty!" Yun Chongyi was terrified. She couldn't be banished to the cold palace like this, otherwise she would be really finished.

Unfortunately, Ji Lingzhou has always been a man of his word, and Cheng Mingran watched Yun Chongyi being taken away.

The Empress, who had just received the news, finally arrived at this time. As soon as she came in, she saw Yun Chongyi being dragged away: "Your Majesty, I greet you!"

"Why are you here?" Ji Lingzhou was a little impatient.

"I just heard about Concubine Shu falling into the water. It was snowing heavily outside, so I came a little late. This..." She still didn't quite understand the situation.

"You manage your harem very well." Ji Lingzhou didn't seem to be in a mood to compliment someone at the moment.

The queen was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is all my fault for mismanagement. Please punish me." Her attitude was still quite respectful.

"Is Concubine Shu in serious condition? What does the imperial physician say?" The Queen immediately asked with concern.

Cheng Mingran shook her head gently: "Thank you for your concern, Queen, but I am fine now."

"I'm glad you're okay. You've always been in poor health. You must take good care of yourself and don't catch a cold." The queen's face was full of concern.

Cheng Mingran nodded: "I've remembered everything."

"Your Majesty..." The Queen looked at Ji Lingzhou: "Have you found out everything today? When I came here just now, I saw Yun Chongyi being taken away. Could it be..." Although she didn't finish her words, everyone knew what she meant.

"In reply to the Queen, Yun Chongyi plotted to murder the concubines and has now been demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace," Li Sheng replied.

The queen pursed her lips and said, "It is my fault."

"That's enough." Ji Lingzhou didn't have time to watch her admit her mistake: "You have nothing to do here, leave now."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The queen was also a tactful person and would not stay here to continue to be an eyesore.

After the Queen left, Ji Lingzhou looked at Cheng Mingran again, who had been silent the whole time: "Were you scared today?"

"I'm fine." She pulled her hand out of Ji Lingzhou's hand.

Ji Lingzhou's hand paused slightly, and his heart ached for a moment: "Tonight..." He originally wanted to say that he would stay here tonight.

But Cheng Mingran spoke first: "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so I will not keep you any longer."

Ji Lingzhou: "..." He suddenly couldn't speak the words stuck in his throat.

"Do we have to be so distant?" Ji Lingzhou was helpless.

Cheng Mingran lowered her head: "I am a little tired today."

Ji Lingzhou stared at her for a long time, then he sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about this topic. Then... did you listen to everything I said to you today?"

Cheng Mingran tightened her grip on the quilt: "I will keep your words in mind, Your Majesty."

"So what do you think?" Ji Lingzhou asked, with a barely perceptible expectation in his eyes.

Cheng Mingran finally looked at him. Ji Lingzhou stared at her. Cheng Mingran looked at him seriously but with a little trepidation in his eyes, and she felt indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Concubine..."

Ji Lingzhou's heart also rose following Cheng Mingran's tone, and he didn't even realize that he was getting nervous about such an answer.

"I just want to protect the person I cherish, but what Your Majesty said today... I still don't know how to respond." Cheng Mingran avoided his gaze.

Ji Lingzhou's eyes clearly flashed with disappointment, but he returned to normal in just a moment: "Forget it, it's normal for you to want to think more. In this case, I won't disturb your rest today."

"You..." Before Ji Lingzhou could finish his words, Cheng Mingran immediately followed up with a sentence: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I respectfully send you off."

Ji Lingzhou: "..." Is she so impatient to drive me away?

But what else can he do? Ji Lingzhou couldn't say anything now. He didn't know when he started to be so timid and cautious.

"Have a good rest. If you feel unwell, call the imperial physician." Ji Lingzhou left a message.

"Hmm" is just such a simple word.

Ji Lingzhou felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that she really had no intention of continuing to say anything, he couldn't hold back his pride anymore and simply turned around and left.

Outside, Li Sheng was also nervous when he saw the appearance of his Majesty, but in order to ease the atmosphere, he still said: "Your Majesty has also caught a cold today. Although it is for the sake of Concubine Shu, Your Majesty still needs to pay attention to the dragon body."

Yes, when Ji Lingzhou heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He also took a cold bath today, and it was all for Cheng Mingran...

I don't know what he was thinking about, but Ji Lingzhou's expression suddenly became less ugly than before...
