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

Cheng Mingran's heart was beating in her throat. If she could just state her purpose out loud, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

But...since he already knows, there is not much point in hiding it any longer.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong." Cheng Mingran lowered her head.

Ji Lingzhou looked at her calmly without saying anything. After a moment's silence, Cheng Mingran finally lost her temper first.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was indeed I who deliberately refused to take the medicine before, which is why my illness has not been cured for a long time." Cheng Mingran said.

Ji Lingzhou was not surprised: "What else?" he asked.

And... Cheng Mingran was still hesitating, wondering whether to tell what happened today.

"Why did you suddenly take the medicine again today?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"Today... when Your Majesty mentioned the Cheng family, I figured it out. So I wanted to take care of my body first, so I asked someone to boil some medicine." Cheng Mingran didn't tell the truth after all.

Ji Lingzhou stared at her without blinking, and Cheng Mingran's scalp was numb. Just when Cheng Mingran was about to give up, Ji Lingzhou finally spoke: "I've figured it out. If you deliberately refuse to take the medicine again in the future, I will directly tell the imperial physician not to prescribe medicine, understand?"

"...Yes" Cheng Mingran breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that Ji Lingzhou would actually believe what she said.

Ji Lingzhou naturally didn't believe it. How could he really believe something so full of loopholes? But even if he didn't want to say it, she was still on guard against him...

"If there is nothing else, just rest." Ji Lingzhou was about to get up. He didn't plan to pursue what happened today. Since she didn't want to say anything, it would be useless no matter how much he said.

But before Ji Lingzhou stood up, Cheng Mingran spoke anxiously: "Your Majesty..." She grabbed Ji Lingzhou's sleeve.

Ji Lingzhou turned around and looked at her holding her hand. Perhaps she felt it was impolite, and she started to become timid again, so she slowly withdrew her hand.

Ji Lingzhou saw her eyes dim for a moment, and an undetectable emotion appeared in them. He held Cheng Mingran's hand again, which she was about to take back.

Cheng Mingran was startled, then looked up at him, nervousness and fear in her eyes.

"Why are you pulling me to do something if you are so afraid of me?" He sat down again.

Cheng Mingran looked at his hand. The warm touch made him feel as if all this was not real.

"Tell me, what did you want to do when you called me just now?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

Cheng Mingran pulled her hand out of his, and Ji Lingzhou's eyes dimmed, but Cheng Mingran pulled his clothes again: "Your Majesty, can you not leave?" She seemed to be afraid that Ji Lingzhou would be angry, so she spoke carefully.

The darkness in Ji Lingzhou's eyes slowly dissipated: "Don't you want me to leave?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran nodded: "I'm scared... I don't want to stay here alone. Your Majesty, can you please not leave? If Your Majesty leaves, will you not come here again? Don't leave me alone... please..." Cheng Mingran's eyes were filled with tears. She was finally bold for once.

Ji Lingzhou did not answer immediately. Cheng Mingran felt uneasy: "...Your Majesty is unwilling?" She said in a disappointed tone, and before Ji Lingzhou could answer, she slowly let go of his hand.

"It was I who offended you... Your Majesty, please forgive me." The fragmented light that had gathered in Cheng Mingran's eyes dissipated little by little, then she stepped back a little and knelt upright on the bed.

Ji Lingzhou was helpless: "No, don't think too much." He said, and seeing Cheng Mingran nodding and kneeling, he reached out and helped her sit down again.

"I don't have to leave. Let's go to sleep." Ji Lingzhou said, and he helped Cheng Mingran to sleep on the bed.

But Cheng Mingran was unwilling: "I am not sleepy."

"Don't want to sleep?" Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows and asked her.

Cheng Mingran nodded: "I can't sleep, so I've already slept today." She replied.

"Okay, then sit for a while. Is there anything you want to do? Do you need a meal? I'll have someone bring some over." Ji Lingzhou asked.

Cheng Mingran pursed her lips and shook her head: "I don't want to eat."

"How about drinking some porridge? You probably haven't eaten for a long time. If you don't drink some, be careful not to hurt your stomach." Ji Lingzhou continued.

Cheng Mingran was silent at this point, and Ji Lingzhou ordered the palace servants to prepare some porridge and vegetables. When the palace servants brought it up, Ji Lingzhou took it casually: "Do you want me to feed you?" he asked.

How dare Cheng Mingran? She immediately wanted to do it herself: "I can do it myself." She said, but just when she was about to take it, she was scalded.

"Hiss" Cheng Mingran suddenly retracted her hand, fortunately Ji Lingzhou hadn't let go, so the liquid didn't spill out.

"Forget it, I'll feed you." Ji Lingzhou sighed. This is shredded chicken rice porridge, soft, glutinous and fragrant, and tastes very good.

Cheng Mingran took a bite and found it warm and soft. After eating it, her stomach felt warm and her whole body felt much more comfortable.

"It's raining outside, and the weather has been getting colder recently. You should be more careful and not catch a cold again." Ji Lingzhou started to find something to say.

The rain outside was getting heavier, even mixed with frost, and the weather was getting colder. If I caught a cold at this point, I was afraid I would be in trouble again.

Cheng Mingran also felt the chill, but because she was in the palace, she felt okay. When she was in the cold palace before, she had no warm clothes or charcoal fire, so she fell ill and was particularly afraid of the cold.

After Ji Lingzhou fed her the food in the bowl, he asked someone to get her some water. Cheng Mingran was trembling with fear throughout the whole process. She had never seen this side of Ji Lingzhou before.

"Your Majesty" Li Sheng rushed in from outside.

Ji Lingzhou looked over, and Li Sheng stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, and some masters who couldn't stand it have just fainted from kneeling. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Oh, yes, there was a group of people kneeling outside. Ji Lingzhou almost forgot about it.

Cheng Mingran was confused. Why was there someone kneeling? Was he outside?

"If he faints, just throw him back. Send away all the people outside. Put him under house arrest for a month when he returns and let him reflect on his actions." Ji Lingzhou was already impatient.

"Yes," Li Sheng said helplessly. He had known for a long time that he would get nothing good, and now he was frustrated again.

He hunched his body and slowly retreated. The room became empty, but Ji Lingzhou didn't seem to want to explain to Cheng Mingran.

There is nothing much to say about the troubles out there. After all, they are all about competing for favor. What else can they do except these usual tricks?

Cheng Mingran didn't ask any more questions. Ji Lingzhou was always so moody, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions and anger him, so she just kept silent.
