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

When Ji Lingzhou heard this, his heart tightened: "Is it so serious?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I just managed to persuade her to drink some medicine and go to sleep. She was feeling unwell last night but she tried to suppress it and didn't go to see the doctor, so she didn't get a good rest."

When Ji Lingzhou heard this, he could no longer hide his worries: "I'll go in and take a look."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she hurriedly stopped him: "She has just woken up. If Your Majesty goes in, she will probably have trouble sleeping again."

Ji Lingzhou: "..." This sounds strange.

"I'm just going in to take a look and won't disturb her rest." Ji Lingzhou said again.

The Queen Mother looked helpless. She sighed and said, "Your Majesty, let's talk."

When Ji Lingzhou heard this, he was confused. What were they talking about?

The Queen Mother glanced at the palace maids beside her. Seeing this, Shuhua and Yingsu hurriedly took their people away. Ji Lingzhou also looked at Li Sheng, and Li Sheng consciously withdrew.

In an instant, the Queen Mother and Ji Lingzhou were the only two people left in the spacious front yard.

"Your Majesty, the way you treat Ranran seems to have changed a lot and is different now." The Queen Mother spoke first.

Ji Lingzhou did not deny it outright this time. He replied: "I treated her badly in the past and was too harsh on her in many things."

"What about now? What does Your Majesty think?" The Queen Mother asked very directly, and her frankness made Ji Lingzhou stunned.

What was he thinking? This question was actually something that even he himself was somewhat confused about.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother sighed deeply again: "Ranran has had a hard time these days, Your Majesty must have seen it. To be honest, I feel very distressed. Most of the time, I still feel resentful towards Your Majesty."

"But I also know that there are many things that cannot be forced. Just like when Ranran wanted to enter the palace, I was very unhappy and even more worried."

"As expected, Your Majesty, look, Ranran has suffered less since entering the palace. Just like this time, she was such a smart girl before. But what about now? Can Your Majesty feel her changes?" The Queen Mother suddenly asked.

Ji Lingzhou remained silent. Of course he could feel it, and it was very obvious. He had raised this issue with Cheng Mingran more than once.

"Then Your Majesty, why do you think Ranran has changed so much?" the Queen Mother asked again.

Ji Lingzhou felt a slight pain in his chest. How could he not know? He had suffered too much and suffered too much pain. Naturally, his character would not change.

"Your Majesty, who do you think is responsible for all this happening to Ranran?" the Queen Mother asked again.

Ji Lingzhou's body stiffened instantly. If he really thought about what happened, he should be the culprit, right?

"I have no other intention in saying these words, I just want Your Majesty to recognize it clearly. Ranran has had such a hard time these years. If Your Majesty cannot give Ranran anything, then I will take Ranran away in the future, and never appear in front of Your Majesty to be an eyesore again." The Queen Mother was preparing to use her ultimate move.

Sure enough, Ji Lingzhou became flustered when he heard this. He looked up at the Queen Mother and asked, "Does the Queen Mother want to take her away?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't care about her anymore, why can't you let her go? Your Majesty hates her so much that you want her to stay here and suffer repeated abuse and torture in a life worse than death? What's the difference between what you are doing and the death penalty?" The Queen Mother's words were a bit harsh.

But Ji Lingzhou listened to it. He clenched and unclenched his hands at his sides, and then clenched again. It seemed as if he was struggling with something in his heart.

"I don't mean to hate her." Ji Lingzhou finally spoke.

The Queen Mother looked at him: "So? Your Majesty, can't you let Ranran go? Is it that difficult?"

"Since he has entered the harem, he is my person. She has no reason to leave." Ji Lingzhou tried to use this reason to keep her.

But how could the Queen Mother give him this opportunity? She immediately said: "As long as Your Majesty is willing to release her, it doesn't matter what Ranran's identity is."

Ji Lingzhou didn't respond.

"Your Majesty, Ranran has never done anything wrong. You can't reject her, humiliate her, or hurt her just because her last name is Cheng." The Queen Mother's words became more and more straightforward and sharp.

When Ji Lingzhou heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refute. But before he could say anything, he found that he seemed to have no qualifications, because what the Queen Mother said was all true.

"Your Majesty, Ranran is innocent." The Queen Mother kept repeating this sentence.

Ji Lingzhou remained silent.

"During the days when Ranran lived in Shoukang Palace, she was in a daze. She was absent-minded every day and often had nightmares at night. Can Your Majesty really bear it? She once truly loved Your Majesty. If Your Majesty hated her because of her love for her, wouldn't it be too fair?" The Queen Mother said a few more words.

Ji Lingzhou could no longer hold back his temper when he heard this. His voice was slightly hoarse: "I don't hate her, and I won't let her go. From now on, I will treat her well, and the things that happened before will never happen again."

After the Queen Mother heard what Ji Lingzhou said, her expression seemed to relax, but it was not enough...

"Your Majesty, what is the reason for what you said now? Have you ever thought about it? Or is it just a momentary impulse? Your Majesty, Ranran can't afford the gamble." said the Queen Mother.

Ji Lingzhou quickly denied: "It's not like that. My feelings towards her...are no longer the same as before. It's just that I don't know what this is yet..."

The Queen Mother did not speak. Ji Lingzhou raised his head and looked towards the inside of the house: "It was my fault before, but it will never happen again. I will treat her well and will not let anyone hurt her again. So, Queen Mother, I will not let you take her away. She can only stay with me for the rest of her life."

This time, Ji Lingzhou's words were much more decisive, as if he had made up his mind. His whole person became a little different.

The Queen Mother concealed her emotions. She looked at Ji Lingzhou: "Your Majesty, are you sure about what you said? Although Your Majesty thinks so, have you considered Ranran's thoughts? Or will you do this no matter what she thinks? And if she doesn't want to, will Your Majesty force her again?" The Queen Mother's words hit the nail on the head.
