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

Why didn't you say it just now? She looked at Ji Lingzhou.

"If I had told Your Majesty directly just now, would Your Majesty have listened to me? Would Your Majesty have believed me? Would you ever have stood by me?" Cheng Mingran asked. Her calm eyes made Ji Lingzhou's heart ache a little.

He admitted that if it was in the past, he probably wouldn't have done that. Even if he knew there was something hidden in this matter, but she didn't say it herself, he would never ask any more questions. After all, she was not good at explaining, and he... wouldn't stand on her side.

"Are you angry with me?" Ji Lingzhou asked, his voice much calmer than before.

"I dare not..." Cheng Mingran lowered her head and no longer looked at Ji Lingzhou.

Ji Lingzhou frowned: "Cheng Mingran, you may have forgotten your identity." He said this, but as soon as he said this, he regretted it. This was not what he wanted to express.

Cheng Mingran didn't think it was wrong, because Ji Lingzhou had always warned her like this, so she could only say: "I know I was wrong..."

"You've made a lot of mistakes. How much have you said in just a short while? Are you really not afraid of being punished?" Ji Lingzhou was angry.

I was angry at her sullen attitude and indifferent tone. I was angry that she always thought she was wrong and was willing to be punished.

So... he suddenly wanted to scare her on purpose.

"Since you are willing to be punished, I will satisfy you." Ji Lingzhou said again. He wanted to see what Cheng Mingran would do.

Sure enough, Cheng Mingran's heart trembled when she heard this, but she had no other reaction.

"Someone come!" Ji Lingzhou shouted again.

Cheng Mingran's body trembled slightly, and soon someone came up to him: "Your Majesty"

Ji Lingzhou's eyes were always fixed on Cheng Mingran: "Pass the cane!" he roared.

So serious? Li Sheng was secretly puzzled. It seemed that His Majesty had changed his mind about Concubine Shu today? And it was about the present. Why did he suddenly impose such a severe punishment?

"It was you who said you were willing to be punished, and you also admitted that you did something wrong, so this punishment is not meant to wrongly accuse you." Ji Lingzhou's eyes had never left her.

Cheng Mingran swallowed softly, but she didn't dare to beg for mercy, so she could only say: "I am wrong..."

It was like this again. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the palace servants had already brought the cane over. Ji Lingzhou took a look and thought that she couldn't possibly bear it, but...

"Twenty strokes of the cane," Ji Lingzhou said coldly, and the next moment someone held Cheng Mingran down and pressed her on the torture bench.

Cheng Mingran had no right to resist, she could only pray that the caning would be quicker this time. She knew it would hurt, so her only hope was that the pain would not last so long this time...

Ji Lingzhou looked at her eyes that were closed because of fear. She was obviously so scared, so why was she still so stubborn? Why didn't she beg for mercy?

"Twenty strokes of the cane, can you bear it?" Ji Lingzhou asked again.

"...I will endure it and not upset Your Majesty." She didn't want to cry out in pain. For her, perhaps that was also a way of maintaining the little self-esteem she had.

Ji Lingzhou was not satisfied. Did she really want to be punished? She really didn't cry until she saw the coffin. He looked at the palace servant holding the cane, gave him a look, and then said, "Beat him!"

The palace servant raised the cane high and brought it down suddenly. Cheng Mingran felt a sharp pain explode behind her. In fact, the force of this blow was much less than usual, and it could even be said that there was no force at all. Ji Lingzhou had already arranged the people just now, so naturally he would not really hurt her. After all, he didn't really want to punish her.

But it definitely hurt, and Cheng Mingran was probably too nervous and scared, so she only felt a sharp pain in her back. She has always been afraid of pain.

Ji Lingzhou could see her painful expression. How could it hurt so much? Seeing the second blow was about to fall, Cheng Mingran closed her eyes tightly, but this time she heard Ji Lingzhou's voice first.

"Enough." Ji Lingzhou's cold voice sounded.

The palace maid put away the stick and stepped aside. Cheng Mingran opened her eyes slightly and her breathing began to become rapid. She was really scared.

Ji Lingzhou stepped forward and then squatted in front of her: "Does it hurt?"

It hurts... She tried hard to hold back her tears, but she couldn't say it, she didn't dare to say it, and she couldn't say it.

"You're still scared, right?" Ji Lingzhou asked her.

Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou with difficulty, not knowing how to answer.

Ji Lingzhou reached out his hand to help Cheng Mingran wipe away her tears, but Cheng Mingran subconsciously closed her eyes and blinked.

Ji Lingzhou paused. Was she afraid that he would hit her? He didn't say anything. Looking at the tears leaking from Cheng Mingran's eyes, he gently raised his hand to wipe them away for her: "If you are obviously afraid, why don't you want to beg for mercy? Why do you have to be so stubborn?"

Cheng Mingran's breathing became more and more rapid, and her suppressed crying became more and more obvious. How should she answer such a question?

Ji Lingzhou stood up, and the next moment he picked up Cheng Mingran: "Call the female doctor." He said in a flat tone.

Before Cheng Mingran could react, Ji Lingzhou had already carried her away. What...was he going to do?

Cheng Mingran was held in his arms, and she was trying hard to adjust her breathing. She looked cautious, and even her breathing became lighter, as if she was afraid of disturbing him.

Ji Lingzhou did not return to Zichen Palace, but went to Lianyi Palace where Cheng Mingran lived before she was banished to the cold palace.

After returning, he laid Cheng Mingran on the bed and started to undress her. Cheng Mingran's breathing became rapid and her body gradually became stiff.

Ji Lingzhou's movements were very slow, but it was undoubtedly a torture for Cheng Mingran. The next moment, she felt a chill behind her. What was he going to do?

Cheng Mingran began to get nervous, and then Ji Lingzhou's fingers fell on her lower back. The tingling and numb feeling made Cheng Mingran dare not move at all.

Ji Lingzhou's gaze fell on the area behind her, the place where she had just been hit. It was a little red, but very light and nothing serious.

After confirming that there was no problem with the wound, Ji Lingzhou casually withdrew his gaze and put his dress down again: "Is the imperial physician here?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the female doctor outside rushed in: "Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite. Come and take a look at the injuries on Concubine Shu's body first." Ji Lingzhou said. It seemed that she was fine, but he still needed to take a look first to feel at ease.
