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

Cheng Mingran was rudely dragged to the ground by the palace servants. Defei stepped forward and said, "I came here out of kindness to care for Shufei, but Shufei was confused by the fever and had lost her mind. She had been in the cold palace for a long time and had gone crazy. She actually dared to murder me. I accidentally killed you in self-defense. Is this reason enough?"

Concubine De was determined to take Cheng Mingran's life. His father was the emperor's tutor, and Cheng Mingran was just the daughter of a criminal. The Cheng family was going to be gone, so what was she? It was just a life, and she could take it if she wanted!

"Get started!" Defei did not waste any time. After hearing the order, a palace maid tried to push her against a pillar.

Cheng Mingran was completely powerless, but out of her survival instinct, she struggled as hard as she could. It wasn't that she was afraid of death, but she just couldn't...

Ever since Ji Lingzhou took her out of the cold palace yesterday, and coupled with some changes she had observed, a glimmer of hope that the Cheng family could be saved arose in her heart again.

Even if it was a slim chance, what would it matter if it was just a tiny spark? She already had nothing to lose, could the worst possible outcome be the downfall of the entire Cheng family?

Just now, from the few words of Concubine De, she seemed to hear that Ji Lingzhou stayed here for half the night yesterday and had been guarding her in Lianyi Palace.

Although she didn't know why Ji Lingzhou had such a change, nor did she know why he suddenly did such a thing, but since he had done so much, it proved that she was still useful to him, even if it was just to be used.

In this case, she wanted to give it a try. After all, it wouldn't get any worse. Maybe she could take a gamble, bet on Ji Lingzhou's sympathy for her, or her value to him...

"Empress Defei, you can't do this! Empress Defei!" The palace servants of Lianyi Palace did not expect that Concubine De would dare to attack Empress Shufei so blatantly.

Cheng Mingran kept leaning back, but how could she possibly be stronger than these palace maids with the little strength she had while she was sick? She had to hold on, at least until he came...

But she was so tired, her head was dizzy, and she felt that she was running out of strength. Her face was flushed red, and her wrists were left with red marks because the maid had used too much force.

The slightly raised veins on her forehead made her whole body tense up. Every time she struggled, her heartbeat accelerated and her breathing became more and more rapid. Even her underwear became loose and was later torn off by the palace servants. Wasn't this an insult to her?

She didn't know if Ji Lingzhou would come, nor when he would come. If he didn't come... Cheng Mingran closed her eyes. She only prayed that God would bless her this time, just this once...

"Hurry up!" Defei couldn't wait any longer. Looking at Cheng Mingran who was still resisting stubbornly, the resentment in her tears became more and more obvious.

Cheng Mingran was already exhausted. Could she really not wait until today? Could she really leave this devastated world forever in this way? What about the Cheng family... The Cheng family was innocent, and my father was not guilty either...

"His Majesty has arrived--!" Just when Cheng Mingran could no longer hold on, loud shouts rang out from outside.

Then Cheng Mingran heard the hurried footsteps. He was coming...

The palace servant holding her down nervously let go of Cheng Mingran because of the loud shouts. Cheng Mingran fell to the ground in exhaustion. When Ji Lingzhou came in, he saw Cheng Mingran, who was in a mess and disheveled state, lying limply on the cold ground.

His pupils shrank slightly, and a clear pain flashed across his heart.

"What are you doing!" Ji Lingzhou took two steps at a time. Defei took a step forward, but before she could open her mouth, she was slapped by Ji Lingzhou.

"Ah!" The force was so strong that Defei lost her balance and was knocked to the ground by Ji Lingzhou.

He squatted down in front of Cheng Mingran and saw that her forehead was covered in blood and her underwear was torn. Ji Lingzhou quickly picked her up, put her on the bed, and wrapped her in a blanket. He then held her in his arms.

"It's okay." He was nervous.

Cheng Mingran felt his embrace. When he came in and rushed towards her just now, she suddenly felt that this time Ji Lingzhou finally came towards her.

Is it true that such a cold person's arms are warm? However... She looked at the person who was slapped to the ground by Ji Lingzhou. Was her bet right this time?

Although Ji Lingzhou is cold and unkind in his actions, this is the first time he has personally taken action against the concubines in the harem.

"Your Majesty?" Concubine De looked at Ji Lingzhou, her eyes full of disbelief.

Ji Lingzhou's cold eyes fell on her: "You are so brave!"

De Fei swallowed her saliva because she was afraid, but she still said with her neck stiff, "I was just defending myself. Your Majesty blames me without any explanation. Isn't that a bit too partial to Shu Fei?"

"Are you really a fool? How can she hurt you in this state? You brought so many people here and stopped all the palace people in Lianyi Palace, and you still think she offended you? I think you have no sense of law at all!" Ji Lingzhou said in a cold tone.

"Your Majesty obviously doesn't like Concubine Shu, so why does he suddenly want to bring the culprit who murdered the royal heir out of the cold palace? Now he is still protecting her. Shouldn't Your Majesty give an explanation to everyone in the harem?" Concubine De is really bold.

Ji Lingzhou, however, has always been very cool and calm, and her words wouldn't cause any ripples in his heart.

"Don't you know how this crime was brought upon her?" Ji Lingzhou said coldly.

When Concubine De heard this, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes: "Your Majesty, how can I not understand what you are saying? How can I know such a thing?"

"Do you really think that I won't touch you because of your father's affection?" Ji Lingzhou said it very bluntly. Defei's father became his tutor when he was still the crown prince, so naturally there was some affection between them.

For this reason, Concubine De has been so fearless in the harem over the years. Not only can she ignore the Queen, she also dares to compete with Ji Lingzhou.

"I dare not..." When Defei heard these words, the arrogance around her finally subsided.

Others may not know, but she knows it in her heart. In fact, in Ji Lingzhou's eyes, his father's affection is not important at all.

The slap on her face was the best proof. Ji Lingzhou had never personally laid hands on a concubine, but today he slapped her in the face. The burning pain on her face, wasn't it obvious enough?

Concubine De lowered her head. Why was it that bitch Cheng Mingran again?
