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

The cold ointment still hurt a little when applied to the wound, but Cheng Mingran didn't try to endure it and just started dodging.

"Hiss" Cheng Mingran looked painful.

Ji Lingzhou had never done such delicate work before. Were his movements too heavy?

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran shook her head, then adjusted her expression, looking forbearing. Ji Lingzhou sighed in his heart when he saw her expression, but he didn't say much, he just applied the medicine to her more gently.

"Be patient, it will heal soon. Don't let the wound get wet, and be more careful about yourself." Ji Lingzhou reminded her while helping her apply medicine.

To be honest, Cheng Mingran had never seen Ji Lingzhou like this before. He used to be very frugal with words, let alone words that showed concern.

Just like when he came over today, I was used to seeing his back as he left, but now it is rare to see him coming for me.

"You had a high fever last night and you're still a little feverish now. You still need to see the imperial physician later." Ji Lingzhou hesitated again and again, but was still worried, fearing that the fever would come back before it subsided.

Cheng Mingran didn't respond, but her eyes were filled with tears. Because her father was away from home all year round, she had been raised in the palace by the Queen Mother since she was a child.

So apart from the Queen Mother, few people actually care about her. She used to chase after Ji Lingzhou, as if she would be happy for a long time if he could just give her a look or say a few kind words to her.

But now...why couldn't she feel happy after hearing such words? Instead, she felt uncomfortable. Her heart felt like being stabbed by a needle, and it hurt a lot.

"Okay." Ji Lingzhou withdrew his hand, and the medicine had been applied.

Cheng Mingran lowered her eyes, and then tears like pearls rolled down. This tear fell squarely on the back of Ji Lingzhou's hand.

Ji Lingzhou was stunned for a moment after feeling this drop of warmth. When he looked at the little woman who was holding back her tears in front of him, the scene he had dreamed of countless times after she left in his previous life emerged in his mind again.

She in the picture was just like she is now, always with tears in her eyes, wanting to cry but not daring to.

"You're fine, why are you crying again?" Ji Lingzhou curled up his fingers and gently wiped away her tears.

Cheng Mingran slowly raised her head and looked at him, her eyes dyed red, very pitiful. Ji Lingzhou suddenly felt his throat tighten, he didn't feel it before, but in this life with those unknown emotions, he found that he seemed to have a little pity for her.

"Okay, your face is covered with wounds. It's not good to cry too much. Stop crying. Aren't you okay now?" Ji Lingzhou softened his tone.

Cheng Mingran accidentally lost her grip on the quilt wrapped around her body, so her messy dress was exposed to Ji Lingzhou again.

A hint of gloom flashed across his eyes, and then he began to reach out to help her put away her clothes: "I will give you an explanation for what happened today, so don't think about it anymore."

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Mingran finally spoke.

Ji Lingzhou looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

"Why would Your Majesty let me leave the cold palace?" Cheng Mingran's eyes were cautious, as if hiding uneasiness.

Ji Lingzhou lowered his eyes slightly: "If it's not you who did it, then you don't have to take the responsibility."

Was he talking about the time when he was accused of killing Concubine Yu's child? But she knew that this was not the only reason.

It had been so long since the incident happened, how could he go back to investigate what happened? In addition, when she was identified, no matter how she explained, Ji Lingzhou was unwilling to listen.

So how could it be just because of this reason? But even if it wasn't, what would it matter? Since he said so, I had to believe it...

"The Queen Mother will be back in a while." Ji Lingzhou suddenly said.

Aunt... Cheng Mingran looked at him in disbelief. She really didn't know about this. So why did His Majesty let Aunt come back? What exactly did he want to do?

"So you should take care of yourself before she comes back. You don't want the Queen Mother to worry about these injuries, right?" Ji Lingzhou knew that she would definitely be interested in this matter, so he mentioned the Queen Mother's return to the palace at this time.

Cheng Mingran was indeed surprised, but also a little expectant. She had previously thought that she might never see her aunt again.

"Do you need to eat now?" Ji Lingzhou did not continue the topic.

But before Cheng Mingran could answer, Ji Lingzhou made the decision for her.

"We still have to eat. I will ask the people in the imperial kitchen to prepare the meal." Ji Lingzhou said.

"Yes..." Cheng Mingran naturally had no reason to refuse.

Ji Lingzhou was not in a hurry to leave because he wanted to have his meal here. The imperial kitchen did not dare to be vague and delivered the meal in a short while.

Cheng Mingran was helped over by a palace servant. Looking at the table full of food, she had no appetite.

Ji Lingzhou walked to the main seat and sat down, then glanced at her and said, "Sit down."

Cheng Mingran leaned forward slightly, and then became entangled in these positions. She took two steps forward and finally chose a position farthest from Ji Lingzhou.

He doesn't like people getting close to him, and he hates it even more when someone sits too close to him while he's dining.

Ji Lingzhou watched her walk to the seat opposite him. In the past, he would not care where Cheng Mingran sat.

but now……

"Why are you sitting so far away?" he asked, but he regretted it as soon as he asked it. He knew the reason without even thinking about it.

"Forget it, whatever you want." Ji Lingzhou took over the conversation himself. He was too lazy to care.

Li Sheng: "..."

"Enjoy your meal." Ji Lingzhou looked impatient.

Was it my illusion? Cheng Mingran felt that he seemed a little unhappy?

The maid came forward to serve the meal, but because of the wound on her hand, she couldn't hold the jade chopsticks steadily. She just started to use it and her fingers were injured when she bent them, so she couldn't hold it steadily.

Cheng Mingran still remembered that Ji Lingzhou cared the most about etiquette, and she was afraid that making such a big noise would make him unhappy again.

However, before she could take the initiative to plead guilty, Ji Lingzhou's voice came over: "Give her a spoon."

Cheng Mingran was about to apologize when her words got stuck in her throat. Aren't you angry? Then what else should she say?

"Your Majesty..." Before she could even say the words of forgiveness, Ji Lingzhou stopped her with one sentence: "Don't talk while eating or sleeping. Shut up."

Cheng Mingran: “…”

Okay, let's not talk about it. Cheng Mingran was sure that Ji Lingzhou had changed a lot. He seemed to be calmer, but why did he seem to be more moody than before?

No, there was basically no sunny weather before...
