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

The pain on her face could no longer arouse Cheng Mingran's emotions, but Yun Chongyi was not going to let her go. The Cheng family fell, her Yun family held military power, and the emperor was somewhat favored by her, so how could she be afraid of such a person?

"Someone! Follow me to see His Majesty!" Yun Chongyi immediately started to get angry.

Although it was His Majesty who carried Cheng Mingran to the Zichen Palace today, if His Majesty really cared about her, he would not have sent someone to the cold palace again.

Furthermore, His Majesty’s attitude towards the Cheng family is already very clear, so Cheng Mingran is nothing to be afraid of, and His Majesty will definitely stand on her side.

however……

"What do you want to see me for?" Ji Lingzhou's voice suddenly sounded behind them, and everyone was startled.

Cheng Mingran looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ji Lingzhou in a black and gold dragon robe, with a barely perceptible frost flashing on his face. Why was he here... Cheng Mingran felt as if her heart was being gripped by a pair of huge hands. She was nervous.

Yun Chongyi was actually a little flustered when she saw Ji Lingzhou, but she quickly adjusted herself. She twisted her body and walked forward: "Your Majesty, I greet you~"

Those behind him followed suit and saluted.

Ji Lingzhou glanced at her, then his eyes fell on Cheng Mingran who lowered her head and maintained a saluting posture and said, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty~" Yun Chongyi's voice is almost annoying.

"Your Majesty, why did you come here suddenly? I just wanted to see Your Majesty. Sister Shufei took advantage of Your Majesty's kindness and spoke ill of me as soon as she came out. After all, I am Your Majesty's concubine. How can she have such an attitude?" Yun Chongyi wished she could stick to Ji Lingzhou right away.

Ji Lingzhou avoided the question calmly and asked in an unmistakable tone, "What did she say?"

"I just wanted to show my concern for Sister Shufei's injuries, but Sister Shufei thought I was in the way and blocking her way." Yun Chongyi looked aggrieved and tearful, looking as if she had been bullied.

Ji Lingzhou looked at Cheng Mingran: "Is that so?" she asked.

Cheng Mingran felt bitter. He had already been convicted. What could he say? When had he ever been willing to listen to his explanation? Even if he denied it, would he believe it?

Forget it, she knelt down without even raising her head, whatever he wanted to do. After all, it was useless for her to resist.

Ji Lingzhou's eyes flickered as he watched her movements, and an undetectable pain passed through his heart, but this feeling seemed to have been ignored by him.

Yun Chongyi, on the other hand, had a very proud look on her face. Today she was going to let Cheng Mingran see whose side the emperor would stand on!

"What do you mean by kneeling down? Do you admit it?" Ji Lingzhou took two steps forward and asked.

"Everything I did was wrong. Please punish me, Your Majesty." Cheng Mingran didn't want to defend herself. The more she talked, the more mistakes she made. He would only find more reasons to punish her because he had never been willing to defend her.

Ji Lingzhou couldn't explain clearly what he felt at the moment, but looking at her current appearance, he suddenly felt a little angry.

He was just about to return to Zichen Palace, but a palace servant said that instead of recuperating from her injuries, she went to the cold palace alone, so he rushed here directly. Even he himself didn't know what he was thinking at the time.

As a result, she saw such a scene when she came over. The key point was that she didn't explain anything and just knelt on the ground to beg for punishment. How could Ji Lingzhou not be angry? But no one could tell where this anger came from.

"Punishment? How? Can you withstand the beating? Or do you think you can withstand any punishment? You're not afraid, right?" Ji Lingzhou's voice sounded with a hint of coldness.

Cheng Mingran looked at the black and gold dragon robe in front of her. How could she not be afraid? She was most afraid of pain... But after these few months in the cold palace, she had become numb to the pain.

"I will not dodge punishment." Cheng Mingran's tone didn't even fluctuate.

Hearing this, Ji Lingzhou's anger kept rising, but she still looked indifferent.

"Your Majesty, how can Sister Shufei speak to you like this? She always has this attitude in front of you. Does she still have you, Your Majesty, in her eyes?" Yun Chongyi started to fan the flames again.

A hint of impatience flashed across Ji Lingzhou's eyes: "Go back!"

Yun Chongyi was startled, but she just thought that His Majesty was angry because of Cheng Mingran, so even though she was scared, she was still very excited. Since His Majesty was so angry, Cheng Mingran would probably not feel good in the future.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I'll take my leave." Yun Chongyi didn't insist on staying here. She guessed that His Majesty probably didn't want others to see him lose his composure.

Before leaving, she looked at Cheng Mingran with a bit of gloating. She wanted to see if Cheng Mingran could still be so arrogant in a while!

After everyone left, Ji Lingzhou lowered his head and looked at the woman who had been kneeling at his feet. How could Cheng Mingran not be afraid? She also knew Ji Lingzhou's temper, and she was afraid that she would not be able to escape the punishment today.

She clenched her hands slightly, but it hurt as soon as she exerted force, after all, she still had so many wounds on her hands. The silence in front of her made Cheng Mingran's heart beat faster and faster. She always felt uneasy when facing unknown punishment.

"Get up." Just these two simple words scared Cheng Mingran so much that her heart was trembling.

She was a little at a loss. Ji Lingzhou had lost his patience, so he raised his voice: "Let me tell you!"

Cheng Mingran trembled, and then did not dare to hesitate, so he slowly stood up, but still did not dare to speak.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you want to explain?" Ji Lingzhou was used to being cold and indifferent. How could he have had such patience before? I'm afraid he would have asked someone to punish her as soon as he heard her.

But how should she explain? What should she explain?

"Cheng Mingran, I don't have time to waste with you. I'm asking you, do you want to explain? Or just accept it?" he questioned.

Cheng Mingran raised her head slightly and looked at Ji Lingzhou. His face was so cold that even looking at him for a few more seconds could make people feel scared.

The moment she looked up, Ji Lingzhou saw the wound on her face again, and the mixed emotions in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

"I did not intentionally offend Yun Chongyi. What I said just now were all Yun Chongyi's words. I don't think I did anything wrong." Cheng Mingran said this in the most calm tone.

Ji Lingzhou did not show any special emotions, but just asked Cheng Mingran casually: "Then why didn't you say it just now? Why did I have to ask you so many times before you changed your mind?"
