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

Ji Lingzhou looked surprised. With this realization, he was furious: "Why are you hiding from me?"

Cheng Mingran pretended to be calm: "Your Majesty, it hurts." She tried to break free from Ji Lingzhou's grip.

But Ji Lingzhou not only did not let her go, but hugged her even tighter: "Do you still feel the pain? Answer me, are you deliberately avoiding me!" He emphasized his tone.

Cheng Mingran didn't dare to really anger him, after all, he had just promised her that she could go see her father. If she angered him at this moment, it would be more trouble than gain.

"No," she replied.

But how could Ji Lingzhou believe it so easily? He immediately asked: "Why have you kept your distance from me these days? Why have you been so distant and indifferent to me?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran was silent.

"Are you speechless?" Ji Lingzhou asked her.

Cheng Mingran's eyes were filled with mist. She looked up at Ji Lingzhou, who was stunned.

"I want to, but I don't dare. Your Majesty, do you know what the cold palace looks like? Do you know what kind of life I have been living in the cold palace these past few months?"

"I'm afraid. I'm worried that Your Majesty will dislike me for some reason and send me to the cold palace again. Your Majesty, I grew up in the palace and have never suffered any hardship. I've learned my lesson in the past few months in the cold palace. I dare not offend Your Majesty. I think that as long as I am more obedient and understand the rules, Your Majesty will be more forgiving of me. So I am careful in everything, afraid that something wrong will anger Your Majesty again." Cheng Mingran's tears fell as she spoke. Now she really cries a lot more.

Ji Lingzhou's hands restraining Cheng Mingran paused, the cold palace...

"Your Majesty, I grew up in the deep palace since I was young. I thought that with the Empress Dowager around, I would never have to worry about anything in my life. But... Your Majesty, I am afraid. I am afraid of Your Majesty, afraid of the palace, and afraid that I will fall into an irretrievable situation." Cheng Mingran continued.

Ji Lingzhou loosened his grip on her slightly: "Since I told you to come out, then everything will be fine."

“But I have been enduring these few months alone in the cold palace. I have no way of forgetting it. During these days out, I have nightmares every night, always wondering if Your Majesty will get tired of me again one day, and will I have to go to that kind of place again?” Cheng Mingran’s eyes were sad, which made people feel distressed when they saw them.

Ji Lingzhou also felt depressed, and even he himself couldn't explain what he felt.

"I promise you that this kind of thing will never happen again." Ji Lingzhou was a little surprised when he said this. Why would he suddenly say such a thing?

Cheng Mingran didn't show much emotion: "I was wrong." She said.

Ji Lingzhou couldn't remember how many times he had sighed. He stretched out his hand and gently wiped away Cheng Mingran's tears, then held her in his arms.

"Don't cry. If you cry, I don't know how to treat you." Ji Lingzhou's mind was also confused. He was confused about how he should treat Cheng Mingran.

Cheng Mingran felt his embrace and listened to what he was saying. She suddenly felt that the person in front of her was a little strange.

"Just now, just think that I was overthinking and shouldn't have asked such questions. Before... it was indeed because I didn't find out the reason and sent you to the cold palace, where you suffered injustice. In the future... I will slowly compensate you, okay?" Although Ji Lingzhou said he wanted to compensate, he actually didn't know how to do it.

Cheng Mingran didn't even take what he said to heart. If the previous Ji Lingzhou could say such words, she would probably be happy for the whole day, or even remember it for the rest of her life.

But now she no longer cares and doesn't need it. And a verbal promise doesn't count. She doesn't believe in it anymore. What's more, some things can't be erased by what you do in the future.

Ji Lingzhou had no idea what Cheng Mingran was thinking at the moment. He knew that what he did was wrong this time.

After the Cheng family was imprisoned, she was accused of murdering the royal heir. How could she not know that those people in the harem were involved?

But he didn't care about these things at all at that time, so as long as Cheng Mingran couldn't prove her innocence herself, he would not deliberately investigate to clear her of the charges.

Things in the harem were always like this, and he was just going with the flow. So he directly ordered Cheng Mingran to be sent to the cold palace. At that time, she was only wearing her underwear, and everyone in Lianyi Palace was dismissed, so there was not even a servant around her.

She knew how delicate she was. When the Queen Mother was alive, her friends didn't want her to suffer any grievances. So no matter what she did, she was the best. She became a lot more delicate.

It was conceivable how much she had suffered in the past few months in the cold palace. He couldn't even imagine how a precious little person like Cheng Mingran had survived these few months?

After Cheng Mingran left in the previous life, he might have gone insane, so he asked people to investigate how she was doing in the cold palace. When he got that stack of things in his hands, he was stunned.

In just half a year, she was really tortured beyond recognition. She suffered from lack of food and clothing, beatings, scolding and humiliation.

After she died in her previous life, the Queen Mother said that she was a person who was rich, arrogant, and loved beauty and face. So she personally changed her clothes and even carefully dressed her up.

He was not at the scene at the time, but later he heard from the people below that when they changed Cheng Mingran's clothes, they saw all kinds of scars on her body, some new and some old, which looked really scary.

Injuries? Why were there so many injuries? Later, when he saw the things he had investigated, he realized that those injuries were probably caused by the torture by the people in the harem, right?

At that time, he just listened to what the people below were saying, but he didn't really see how terrible her injuries were. Now that she was brought out two months in advance, I wonder if those dams were left behind?

Think of it...

"On you..." Ji Lingzhou hesitated to speak.

Cheng Mingran couldn't pretend she didn't hear him: "What does your majesty want to ask?"

"It's nothing, let's go back to Lianyi Palace first." Ji Lingzhou let go of the person, and Cheng Mingran tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

She distanced herself from Ji Lingzhou. The rain outside showed no sign of stopping. So...

Ji Lingzhou stood beside her and held her hand naturally: "Come closer, or you'll get wet again." He said it casually, but where Cheng Mingran couldn't see, there was a hint of unnaturalness in his eyes.
