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

But what should be changed?

Ji Lingzhou's thoughts gradually drifted away. Perhaps the only thing that was different was the Cheng family.

In the previous life, because of his speculation about the Cheng family, he ended up in such a situation. Although there was no big disaster, he was a little too suspicious, so Cheng Li spent his whole life in the military, but ended up lonely in his later years. And Cheng Mingran... lost his life because of that incident.

He always knew that the sword could not hurt him at all. Even if Cheng Mingran was not there, he would not be hurt at all.

But the reality is that she blocked the sword with her own body, and even sacrificed her life. Maybe that action was not so pure, maybe she also had some calculations in the end, but he always felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't know how to express this discomfort.

If he was to blame, then he probably did have some, after all, he was the first to suspect the Cheng family. It was not until Cheng Mingran died and Cheng Li resigned that he believed that the Cheng family had no ill intentions, but by then it was too late.

But...how could the existence of the Cheng family not arouse his suspicion? The Cheng family had made great contributions for generations, and they were supported by the Queen Mother. He ascended the throne at a young age, the Queen Mother was in power, and the Cheng family was the only one in power.

Later, when he reached the age of twenty, the empress dowager gradually delegated power to him. However, the empress dowager had already accumulated great power in the court, and the Cheng family held a pivotal position, so he was cautious in everything he did.

The Cheng family even founded the Cheng family army during the reign of the previous emperor. A full 200,000 soldiers and horses were solely under the control of the Cheng family. How could he not be suspicious of such an existence?

Even this time, the Cheng family was convicted, but what was the result? For four whole months, he could do nothing except put people in jail. Because the Cheng family had many disciples, was deeply loved by the generals, and was loved by the people, even he could not easily move the ground.

So how could he allow such a threat to exist in his previous life? Could it be that just because the Cheng family said they were loyal to the emperor and patriotic and would never betray the royal family, they would believe it? Anyone can make such a promise, but not everyone can believe it.

Ji Lingzhou sighed softly in his heart. There were reasons for everything, and it didn't lead to bitter consequences, but the process was tortuous and people's hearts were unpredictable. What should he do?

"Your Majesty," Li Sheng called out to Ji Lingzhou who was in a daze.

Ji Lingzhou came back to his senses and said, "Send someone to convey the order later to restore Concubine Shu's expenses and let her return to Lianyi Palace."

Li Sheng was secretly surprised, but he did not ask any further questions. As servants, they only needed to listen to their masters' orders.

"Yes," Li Sheng agreed.

Ji Lingzhou rubbed his temple.

"Your Majesty, are you tired? How about I ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?" Li Sheng asked.

Ji Lingzhou raised his hand to stop him. There was still a wound on his hand from the porcelain shard he had just used to cut himself, but it was just a small cut and nothing serious.

"Let's go to Zichen Palace," Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran is still in Zichen Palace... Well, that's not right, she has already gone back to the cold palace on her own initiative.

However, before Cheng Mingran could return, she met a young woman in light blue palace dress not far from the cold palace.

"Isn't this Sister Shufei from the cold palace? Why? Didn't they say that Concubine Yu executed someone privately, so Sister Shufei aroused His Majesty's pity and was taken to the Zichen Palace by His Majesty? Why is she back again?" The one who spoke was Yun Chongyi. These two seemed to be somewhat favored by the emperor.

Cheng Mingran's face was calm. To be more precise, she should have gotten used to it now. Although she still retained the position of Consort Shu for the time being, she was, after all, a consort who was banished to the cold palace. So what dignity did she have?

Even if she was a concubine of low rank, as long as she had a little bit of family background or a little bit of favor from His Majesty, she could be trampled on.

Yun Chongyi's father was the general of Huaihua, who had always been at odds with his father. His Majesty attached great importance to the Yun family, so Yun Chongyi caught his majesty's eye. After Yun Chongyi entered the palace, she always compared herself with him, and had repeatedly come to cause trouble before.

When she was still a concubine and had not been sent to the cold palace, she could still restrain herself a little. But since she was convicted and sent to the cold palace, she has been causing trouble.

"Why aren't you talking, Sister Shufei?" Yun Chongyi's expression turned a little colder.

"I underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to be so capable. Even though you have been banished to the cold palace, you still have a way to lure His Majesty over. I don't know what shameful method you used to make His Majesty carry you to the Zichen Palace in person." Yun Chongyi sneered with some disdain.

She took two steps forward and said, "But... although my sister has some abilities, His Majesty is not someone you can easily control. Isn't it? I'm afraid he was driven out again in disgrace?"

Yun Chongyi glanced at the wounds on Cheng Mingran's face and hands, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes: "Sister Shufei is such a precious person. It's really sad that she has fallen into this situation. His Majesty wants to eradicate the Cheng family. Do you think you can regain his favor? Oh, no, his majesty has never favored you." Yun Chongyi deliberately took up a handkerchief to cover her face and smiled when she said this.

"The Cheng family is about to die, I'm afraid my sister will not be far from death either. I really feel sorry for you, but as sisters, you might as well beg me. Maybe I can even plead for you in the underworld and barely spare your life." Yun Chongyi's arrogant look makes people want to slap him in the face.

Cheng Mingran raised her head and looked at her: "Get out of the way"

Yun Chongyi's face turned cold: "Cheng Mingran, what's your attitude?"

"I said get out of the way." Cheng Mingran said in a flat tone.

The next moment, Yun Chongyi slapped Cheng Mingran in the face again, and she was already numb.

"Cheng Mingran, do you think you are still the arrogant concubine you used to be? His Majesty dotes on me now, and you are just a guilty concubine in the cold palace. What qualifications do you have to challenge me? Based on your current situation, I can make you pay with just a few words to His Majesty!" Yun Chongyi was not afraid at all.

Yes, she was right. She was in the right hands, and he was just an abandoned child, a person he had always hated. How could he compare the two?

But even so, what can she do? Yun Chongyi just wants to cause trouble. If that's the case, then no matter what she does, she will always find her fault.

So why should I give up my bottom line and beg for mercy from such a person? No matter how much I beg, I will only lose my dignity.
