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

After hearing this, Wang Zhaoyuan looked back at the maid: "How dare you say such a thing? What crime should you be punished for? Tell me, who ordered you to do this?!"

"I did not lie. Besides, I know one more thing." The palace maid was a little flustered.

"No matter what you know, that's a matter for the future. You can't even answer the question just now, and you can't admit it. Do you think what you say next is credible?" Cheng Mingran interrupted her directly.

"Her Majesty Shufei is very eloquent, and I really cannot refute her. The Cheng family and the people in Her Majesty's palace are all her confidants, so how could they possibly tell the truth? Since Her Majesty has already brought it up on her own initiative, then it must be that she has already made preparations. If Her Majesty really has a clear conscience, would she be afraid of what I can say?" The palace maid continued to argue.

Wang Zhaoyuan was a little overwhelmed when she was caught between the two people. She looked at Ji Lingzhou above and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything strange about this matter? If you don't want to tell me, just follow what this slave girl says, listen to what she says, and then check it out first?"

Ji Lingzhou didn't respond, but he also acquiesced that he didn't want to bother with Wang Zhaoyuan...

"What else did you say?" Wang Zhaoyuan asked the palace maid.

"Apart from the temporary palace, Concubine Shu also said that it is safest around her. Concubine Shu is in great favor now, and no one dares to disrespect her, let alone suspect Concubine Shu. That's why Concubine Shu hid one of the assassins by her side. If Your Majesty still doesn't believe it, just send someone to investigate." The maid was quite confident.

When Cheng Mingran heard this, she remembered the little eunuch who behaved strangely this morning. Is that the guy?

"Does the Empress Shufei have to explain so much to a lowly maid like you? It's so audacious of you to bring up the favorite concubine and important officials in the court." Wang Zhaoyuan retorted.

But the maid kowtowed desperately: "Every word I said is true, please understand, Your Majesty."

Everyone looked at Ji Lingzhou, and they were curious about what decision His Majesty would make.

"Check" Ji Lingzhou spat out this word in a cold voice.

Cheng Mingran did not stop them, nor could she. Following Ji Lingzhou's order, the people below went straight to the tent.

Not long after, someone came back, and the maid also looked determined to get what she wanted. But her expression changed when she heard the first sentence the maid said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, no suspicious person was found." said the palace servant.

How is this possible? The maid stared in disbelief, "Impossible! Madam Shufei, Madam Shufei must have hidden the person in advance, otherwise how could there be no one?"

"You are so sure that there is someone here. Did you confirm it in advance? Or was this person arranged by you?" Cheng Mingran said again calmly.

The maid was speechless now, but Ji Lingzhou had clearly lost his patience: "Falsely accusing the concubine is a capital crime. Come, take him away and sentence him to death by lingchi."

A few words from Youyou instantly determined a person's life or death. Lingchi... This punishment was a bit too severe, perhaps because the palace maid was targeting Ji Lingzhou this time.

When Cheng Mingran heard these words, his heart trembled slightly. If he had encountered such a thing before, he would definitely doubt it and would not believe himself. Moreover, even if he knew it was not him, as long as it was related to the Cheng family in this matter, he would be afraid...

Ji Lingzhou also noticed Cheng Mingran's gaze: "It's okay, I believe you." His tone was gentle, and it looked as if he really believed in Cheng Mingran unconditionally. After all, there was a world of difference.
