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

That night, Ji Lingzhou was unable to leave. It was not because he couldn't leave, but because he chose not to leave.

It was not until the morning court session was almost over that he took Cheng Mingran's hands off his clothes, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and left.

Cheng Mingran knew nothing about this. When she woke up again, Ji Lingzhou had been gone for about an hour.

She opened her eyes and looked around, still a little sleepy. The surroundings became clearer and clearer, and Cheng Mingran slowly woke up. She... hadn't had such a good sleep for a long time.

"Is the Queen awake?" Shuhua walked in from outside with hot water in her hand.

After she put the hot water aside, she came over to help Cheng Mingran up: "It rained heavily last night and there was thunder. I thought your Majesty would not be able to sleep well again."

"Where is His Majesty?" Cheng Mingran asked.

"Your Majesty has already gone to the morning court. Judging from the time, it will probably take about another hour before he can leave." Shuhua said as he helped Cheng Mingran put on his shoes.

"His Majesty accompanied the Empress last night and never left. When His Majesty left this morning, he specifically instructed the servants not to come in and disturb your rest." Shuhua said.

Didn't leave at all? Cheng Mingran's mind moved: "Your Majesty was in the inner hall all night?"

Shuhua nodded: "Your Majesty has been in the room since he heard the Queen's voice last night. We servants were guarding the door at the time, but we didn't see him coming in to call for us. His Majesty didn't leave until this morning."

He didn't leave? Cheng Mingran couldn't tell what she felt.

"Your Majesty treats the Queen differently now. Perhaps His Majesty has finally seen the good in the Queen." Shuhua said as he helped Cheng Mingran sit in front of the dressing table.

Cheng Mingran looked at herself in the bronze mirror and gently touched her face. She had been watching him for a long time, and if she had seen him, she would have seen him long ago.

"Have you found any results for the information I asked you to inquire about before?" Cheng Mingran asked.

"I have already asked someone to inquire, but the Dali Temple has always been heavily guarded, so it may take some effort and it may be difficult to sneak in." Shuhua looked embarrassed when he said this.

Cheng Mingran naturally knew about it, but she was really worried.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although we can't get in now, the people over there have sent news that the general is fine. There are many old acquaintances of the general in the Dali Temple. They will take good care of him, and no one dares to torture the general." Shuhua comforted.

But Cheng Mingran's expression did not ease: "Dad has been fighting outside for many years, and he has many old injuries. The environment over there is dark and damp, and it is almost winter now. It is very cold in the cell. I am afraid that Dad will not be able to bear it."

"Then... Your Majesty, why don't you go and ask His Majesty for a favor? I see that His Majesty is a little different now than before, and he treats You differently. What if His Majesty agrees?" Shuhua said tentatively.

Cheng Mingran was hesitant, not because she was afraid that Ji Lingzhou would blame her, but because she was afraid that this would aggravate His Majesty's prejudice against the Cheng family.

but……

"Is it still raining outside?" Cheng Mingran asked.

"Yes, the rain is quite heavy. I see that there seems to be snow mixed in the rain. It is cold outside. Are you planning to go out, Your Majesty?" Shuhua asked.

Cheng Mingran thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty said before that the Queen Mother would also return to the palace. Did you say the specific date?"

"They say it will be soon. I think it will take at most ten days." Shuhua replied.

"Since the Empress Dowager is coming back, is there anyone to clean up Shoukang Palace?" Cheng Mingran asked again.

"The Queen has already made the arrangements, so you don't have to worry," Shuhua said.

"The Empress Dowager is my aunt. I grew up with her and in Shoukang Palace. Since my aunt is coming back, I should go to Shoukang Palace in person to take a look." Cheng Mingran said.

Shuhua disagreed: "But your majesty, you are not well yet. Although the imperial physician said that the poison in your body is no longer a big deal, you still need to rest well."

"Besides, it's raining so heavily outside and you're frail. What if you go out in the rain and catch a cold?" Shuhua said.

Cheng Mingran didn't care about that: "It's cold outside, isn't it cold inside the prison? I have to see my father in person to feel at ease..."

Shuhua reacted instantly. Although she was worried, she didn't say anything else. "Yes, I will accompany you to Shoukang Palace after I have done your makeup."

Cheng Mingran nodded. Even if she was afraid, it was better than doing nothing. What's more...

For some reason, Cheng Mingran always had a premonition in her heart. She always felt that Ji Lingzhou might not really want to kill the Cheng family now...

Otherwise, he should have taken action long ago.

But not only did he not do that, he even brought her out of the cold palace, and his attitude changed drastically, defending her many times. He also brought the Empress Dowager back from the temporary palace outside the palace, and now it was almost time for her to arrive.

And there was the incident at the Cheng family’s military camp last time. If he really had that idea, he should have used the incident at the military camp to prove the Cheng family’s guilt, but he actually suppressed the matter and said he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

So... she suddenly had a bold guess. Is there a possibility that Ji Lingzhou really has no intention of taking action against the Cheng family now?

When Cheng Mingran thought of this possibility, her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened. On one hand, she felt anticipation and nervousness, and on the other hand, she felt doubt and bewilderment.

After all, Ji Lingzhou had been afraid of the Cheng family for a long time. How could he let go of the opportunity he finally found? Although this time it might really be as he thought, what was his purpose?

Ji Lingzhou would never let go of such a good opportunity...

Cheng Mingran felt uneasy, but she couldn't think too much and just took it one step at a time. If the Cheng family could escape this disaster, she was willing to try to persuade her father and the Queen Mother to withdraw from the court, hand over the power in their hands and leave the capital together.

Now Cheng Mingran no longer has any attachment to the imperial palace. She just wants to end this disaster as soon as possible and be a free person forever, no longer bound by the so-called "unrequited love" in this world.

Ji Lingzhou... She was willing to let him go. Once the Cheng family incident was over, she would draw a clear line with him and never see him again in this life...
