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

Seeing Cheng Mingran crying in his arms, he couldn't hold back for a moment: "If you are really sad, there is no need to hold it back, just cry as much as you want."

"I didn't take your feelings into consideration before, and I criticized you a lot, causing you to lose your self-esteem and suffer all kinds of grievances and humiliation. It's normal for you to have resentment in your heart. If you want to hate me, I have nothing to say. But... if you really want to leave, this is absolutely impossible."

"No matter what happens, you can't leave the palace. Because I will not allow you to leave my side. Even if you feel that this is a bondage and confinement, I will not let go. So if you have such thoughts, you should give up as soon as possible."

"I admit that what I said to you before was somewhat deliberate, but it is not completely unreasonable. The palace may have indeed brought you a lot of pain, but in the current situation, the palace may really be the safest place." Ji Lingzhou began to talk to himself.

Cheng Mingran didn't respond at all, but her emotions seemed to slowly stabilize.

"Even if the Cheng family is completely separated from the court in the future, it will not be truly peaceful. Compared to being away from the court, staying in the capital may be safer and more secure."

“Once you lose all power, you will become a target for slaughter. You may say that the Cheng family has never intended to harm anyone, and has never thought of making enemies with anyone. But in the court, it is not possible to live in peace without taking the initiative to make enemies. You know very well what the status of the Cheng family was in the past, and there are many people who want to make fun of the Cheng family, so things are really not as simple as you think.” Ji Lingzhou lowered his voice, as if he really just wanted to tell her this truth.

Cheng Mingran's breath gradually became stable. She leaned quietly in Ji Lingzhou's arms without saying a word. She continued, "The peaceful life you want, away from the court and living in seclusion in the countryside, is only an ideal life. But if everything can go as one wishes, there won't be so many regrets in this world."

"What I said before may have been exaggerated, but you should be very clear in your heart how many monsters and demons are hidden in these aristocratic families." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran was naturally clear that the so-called paradise and the so-called court world disputes were actually very difficult to achieve. When they became pawns of the power center, they no longer had the right to retreat. Whether it was the suspicion of the superiors or the ambitions of those who were unwilling to be under them, it was enough to kill them.

"Your Majesty is suspicious of the Cheng family..." Cheng Mingran's voice was still a little hoarse from crying.

When Ji Lingzhou heard her voice, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was willing to speak now.

"If you were in my position, you would probably consider no less than I do. I can't help but think more about it." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran was silent.

Perhaps because he could see Cheng Mingran's depressed mood, Ji Lingzhou sighed: "I know the Cheng family has no ulterior motives."

When Cheng Mingran heard these words, her eyes, which had been calm till then, finally showed a slight fluctuation. She looked at Ji Lingzhou with scrutiny in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Ji Lingzhou thought she had compromised, right? So he simply told her the truth: "The Cheng family was indeed imprisoned on purpose, because I will not allow any hidden dangers to exist."

"But after considering it for some time, I am willing to believe in the loyalty of the Cheng family. I can also pretend that what happened before never happened and will not pursue it further." As soon as Ji Lingzhou finished speaking, Cheng Mingran suspected that she had heard it wrong.

What did His Majesty just say? He said he would not pursue the previous matter? He also said he would trust the Cheng family? How is that possible? How could he suddenly change so much? Was he trying to deceive me?

"Your Majesty, why do you have to say such things to please me?" There was disbelief in Cheng Mingran's eyes, but there was still a little hope.

Ji Lingzhou saw through her caution: "I'm not kidding you."

Cheng Mingran was really stunned this time. She looked at Ji Lingzhou for a long time and was speechless.

Ji Lingzhou helped her tidy up the hair on her face: "The Cheng family will be fine, I promise you. If I really wanted to deal with the Cheng family, then the Cheng family would not be fine until now."

That's true. Cheng Mingran had been confused before as to why Ji Lingzhou suppressed the impeachment of his father, and why he allowed her to visit her father in prison.

So he had no intention of really convicting him? But if he had no intention of doing so from the beginning, then why did he keep his father in prison? And why has he not taken any action until now?

At first, Cheng Mingran didn't expect Ji Lingzhou to say such a thing. She just wanted to test Ji Lingzhou's bottom line towards her, but just now... it was an unexpected surprise.

"Then..." Cheng Mingran hesitated to speak.

Ji Lingzhou understood what she meant instantly. Since the conversation had already come to this point, there was naturally no need for him to be vague.

"Some things are more complicated than you think. Once I have made the arrangements, the Cheng family will be acquitted. Then you can reunite with your father, and I will not interfere." Ji Lingzhou continued.

Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou with some suspicion. Was he really not just saying this to please her?

"There's no need for me to lie to you about this matter, okay?" For the first time, Ji Lingzhou felt that his credibility was so low.

Yes, Cheng Mingran knew what kind of person Ji Lingzhou was. He would never use such a roundabout way, and there was no need, after all, it was just a matter of his word to do anything.

"So don't have any random thoughts during this period of time. Rest well, take good care of yourself, and don't worry, okay?" Ji Lingzhou is really a completely different person from before.

Cheng Mingran pursed her lips slightly.

"You know what kind of state you have been in recently. I don't want to see you continue like this. If your father comes out later, he won't want to see you like this, right? You probably don't want to make him worry." This was the first time Ji Lingzhou had persuaded someone in this way. It was still a bit novel.

Cheng Mingran felt dazed. She had never seen Ji Lingzhou like this before. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Ji Lingzhou was inexplicably gentle...

But if only this bit of tenderness could come earlier...
