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

Yes, she used to be smiling all the time, especially in front of the Queen Mother, she was always like a little child.

Once... he also wondered, wondering how a person who grew up in the palace could be like that? Or was she just pretending well?

Ji Lingzhou stopped thinking about it, after all, that was in the past. Cheng Mingran was very quiet and well-behaved now, but he suddenly found that this kind of Cheng Mingran was too dull, and he would rather see the lively her in the past.

No, why did I suddenly remember these things? What does she look like have to do with me? Even if I felt a little guilty towards her in my previous life, what is the value of this guilt?

He could give her honor and glory, and protect the Cheng family, but that was all. He couldn't give her anything more, and he had no way to give her anything more.

So she should be whatever she wants, there is no need for me to interfere. At least... that's what Ji Lingzhou thinks now.

Ripple Palace

After Cheng Mingran finished crying, she just sat there quietly without saying a word. Shuhua watched from the side, feeling distressed but unable to do anything.

"Empress Shufei, today's medicine is ready." The palace servant brought in the medicine.

Shuhua stepped forward and took it: "I'm the only one here, you can ask everyone else to leave." Shuhua said.

"Yes." The palace maids all withdrew. Shuhua took the medicine to the side and put it down: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

Cheng Mingran looked at the bowl of medicine and said, "It's the same whether you drink it or not, so just pour it out."

Shuhua's face was full of distress: "Your Majesty, you still have to take care of your body. You didn't take medicine before, so the disease has been delayed for so long. Now that His Majesty has come today, why do you have to torment yourself?"

Cheng Mingran took the bowl of medicine and said, "I thought I would gain something today, but I couldn't even keep him. So what did he mean by letting me out of the cold palace? What did he mean by mentioning the Cheng family today?"

Shuhua squatted down in front of her and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what His Majesty means, you must take care of yourself first." This disease was not a big deal. If you take the medicine well, it will definitely get better.

But because of His Majesty, the Queen deliberately dragged her illness on and deliberately did not take her medicine on time, so she has been ill for so long and has not recovered.

His Majesty finally came today, and Your Majesty originally thought he could be of some use, but in the end, she couldn't even keep His Majesty.

"No, just pour it out." Cheng Mingran still didn't want to take the medicine.

Shuhua was anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She wanted to persuade her mother a little more, but seeing her mother in this state, she could only sigh.

Shuhua walked aside and poured the bowl of medicine into the potted plants in the hall as usual. The potted plants were watered with so much medicine that the leaves were starting to turn yellow.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to ask someone to replace this potted plant?" Shuhua said.

Cheng Mingran looked over when she heard this, and seeing the potted plants starting to turn yellow, her eyes fell on the bowl of medicine again. She didn't know what she was thinking about, so she asked, "Who is decocting this medicine?"

"The palace maids of Lianyi Palace are personally in charge of decocting the medicine, but is there any problem?" Shuhua had followed Cheng Mingran since childhood, and was trained by the Queen Mother, so he reacted quickly.

Cheng Mingran did not answer immediately, but just looked at the empty medicine bowl thoughtfully, and then said: "I accidentally spilled the medicine just now, please trouble them to boil another bowl of medicine."

"Empress..." Shuhua almost immediately understood what she meant.

"Go boil another bowl of medicine, it's okay." Cheng Mingran gestured to Shuhua to rest assured.

Shuhua was helpless seeing this. The Queen had been smart since childhood, and was brought up carefully by the Queen Mother, so she believed that the Queen should also have some sense of propriety and plans. In the end, she compromised and agreed: "Yes."

After returning from Lianyi Palace today, Ji Lingzhou stayed in Qinzheng Palace for the whole day.

"Your Majesty, you have been busy all day, take a rest." Li Sheng came over and made a bowl of ginseng tea.

"What time is it?" Ji Lingzhou put down what he was holding and asked.

"Your Majesty, it is already the hour of Xu," Li Sheng replied. (From 7pm to 9pm, let's take 7pm here.)

It was indeed late at this time, and he was about to get up, but just as he stood up, palace servants hurried in from outside.

"His Majesty!"

Li Sheng looked over and was even more unhappy when he saw this: "Why are you so panicked? You deserve to be punished for being so unbecoming in front of His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong." The little eunuch was also a timid person.

"What's the matter?" Ji Lingzhou looked surprised.

"Reporting to your majesty, news has come from Lianyi Palace that Concubine Shu suddenly felt unwell after taking medicine today, then vomited blood, and then fell into a coma." said the eunuch.

"What did you say?" Ji Lingzhou's expression was stern, and the little eunuch was trembling with fear: "Your Majesty, calm down. Lianyi Palace has already invited the imperial physician, and the imperial physician said that it looks like a sign of poisoning."

Ji Lingzhou's face turned cold: "Go to Lianyi Palace and send someone to investigate!"

"Yes" Li Sheng was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat. How could the Concubine Shu suddenly get poisoned? You know, His Majesty's attitude towards the Concubine Shu is still unclear, so it must be treated carefully.

The Ripple Palace was already in chaos at this moment. When Ji Lingzhou came over, he saw Cheng Mingran lying on the bed with a pale face. His heart tightened and he took two steps forward.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The palace maids and the imperial physician hurriedly saluted.

Ji Lingzhou stood in front of Cheng Mingran's bed: "What's going on!" Ji Lingzhou's voice was mixed with anger, and the palace servants knelt on the ground.

The imperial physician was also trembling with fear: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Concubine Shu has been poisoned, but please rest assured, the dose taken by the Concubine Shu is not large, so her life will not be in danger."

Ji Lingzhou's expression did not improve at all because of these words, but became even uglier: "Master is poisoned, how did you serve him?"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" The palace servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Ji Lingzhou was about to explode, but was interrupted by Shuhua: "Your Majesty! I dare to ask Your Majesty to make the decision for our queen!"

Ji Lingzhou looked at Shuhua. He remembered this palace maid. After all, she had been with Cheng Mingran since she was a child and was chosen by the empress dowager.

"Who's in charge?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"Yes, our Concubine Zhaoyi has never left Lianyi Palace since she came out of the cold palace, but now she has been poisoned for unknown reasons. Someone must have deliberately wanted to murder our Concubine!" Shuhua kowtowed, tears streaming down his face.
