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

Cheng Mingran was scared for a moment, but she was not afraid of the environment here, but she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back when she saw her father...

"Empress..." Shuhua's face was also full of worry.

It was actually her first time to come to such a place, so the discomfort she felt was no better than Cheng Mingran's.

"I'm fine. How long will it take?" She looked at the guard in front of her and asked.

The guard said respectfully, "It's right in front, please come in, Madam."

Cheng Mingran took a deep breath. She tried her best to prepare herself mentally. Her only hope was that she wouldn't make her father worry when she saw him later.

Cheng Li’s cell was already close to the innermost room of the Dali Temple. Cheng Mingran didn’t know how long she had been walking. She had never felt that these few steps would become so difficult to walk. Every step seemed to be filled with lead.

Until the guard who followed him said to him: "Madam, we are here."

Cheng Mingran looked around. The lights in the prison were dim, especially in this area, which was dark and damp. Her heart began to ache.

Finally, she saw someone sitting in a cell not far from her. In a corner of the dim cell, there was an old man with messy hair but a straight body.

The years have carved deep wrinkles on his face, like trenches, recording his past glory and vicissitudes. His beard is unkempt, his hair is gray, but the light in his eyes is still firm.

Cheng Mingran's eyes instantly turned red, and the guards around her were also very considerate and stood far away and did not come forward.

The old man's clothes were worn out, as if through them one could see that he had once been wearing armor, but the armor was covered with traces of swords and the marks of time. On one hand, these scars were his past glory, full of dedication to the country. On the other hand, they were like the humiliation of the present, being wrongfully imprisoned...

But... despite being imprisoned, his back remained straight, like a sword that had gone through wind and rain but was still sharp.

Even though his hands were bound by rough iron chains, the hands that once held the sword were still strong. Although he had lost his freedom, his eyes no longer showed any sign of surrender or compromise.

The walls of the cell were covered with traces of dampness and mildew, as if they were the marks of time and suffering. Here, Cheng Li was no longer the god of war general who once dominated the world.

Cheng Mingran suddenly felt sad. The general who used to be so carefree and unrestrained on his horse had now not only lost his freedom but also his former glory. Did he have any resentment in his heart?

Cheng Mingran walked to the front of the cell and the person next to her helped her unlock the door.

The sound of the door lock startled the general. The moment he turned around, there seemed to be some confusion in his eyes.

Despite the hardships he has experienced, the general who once wore armor still maintains his pride and dignity. But when Cheng Mingran took off his cloak and revealed his face, the doubt and tenacity in the general's eyes seemed to melt into a pool of water.

There were ripples in his eyes and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but the sob stopped him from saying anything.

Even after not seeing each other for many years, he can still recognize his daughter at first sight.

"Daddy..." Cheng Mingran's voice trembled slightly.

The old general trembled violently, and a gleam of disbelief flashed in his eyes. Wasn't this a dream? Wasn't this his fantasy?

His lips trembled, tears welled up in his eyes. He struggled to move his bound hands, wanting to touch his daughter's cheek, but they could only fall down helplessly.

Cheng Mingran walked towards him step by step, tears falling like beads from a broken string. She knelt in front of the old general, not caring about the mess, and directly hugged the father she had not seen for many years, crying.

The old general also choked up and hesitated again and again. Finally, his rough palm gently patted his daughter's back, as if to comfort her...

"Daddy..." the daughter burst into tears, "I came too late." Cheng Mingran could no longer stop crying.

The old general closed his eyes tightly, tears sliding down his wrinkles. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner excitement, "Ranran... my daughter..."

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. The father and daughter hugged each other tightly in this small and cold cell, their tears intertwined with longing and guilt...

Shuhua turned away with a look of understanding. How could this scene not affect her? Fortunately, the empress and the general were finally reunited.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Mingran finally let go of her father whom she had missed for so long. She looked at her father's head full of silver hair and couldn't stop the pain in her heart.

"It's all my fault. I'm unfilial." Cheng Mingran kept scolding herself in her heart. Why was she so useless? If she were more capable, her father might not have to suffer so much.

Cheng Li shook his head: "I don't blame you. How can I blame our daughter?" He tried hard to force a smile, but when he saw his daughter crying, all his disguise melted into a puddle of water.

"It's daddy's fault. Daddy didn't protect our daughter well. If it weren't for daddy, how could our daughter have suffered so much?" He kept blaming himself in his heart, saying that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

He had heard about Cheng Mingran's situation in the harem. He had always felt guilty because he had been away on military campaigns for many years and had not been able to spend much time with his daughter. He had not given her enough care and concern.

"Why are you here? And you're dressed like this. What if someone finds you? You'll get into trouble. Daddy's fine here, so don't worry about me, daughter. As long as you're fine, nothing else matters." Cheng Li told Cheng Mingran. He was also worried that his daughter would be implicated.

But Cheng Mingran held Cheng Li's hand: "Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine. I came here today with the permission of His Majesty. Nothing will happen." Cheng Mingran comforted.

But Cheng Liyi looked unconvinced when he heard this. How could His Majesty suddenly agree to such a thing? He frowned: "But did His Majesty embarrass you, or did you ask His Majesty? What did His Majesty say? Did he ask you to do anything? Nannan, Daddy is fine. You must not wrong yourself because of these things, and don't anger His Majesty, otherwise what will Daddy do?" He was afraid that Cheng Mingran would be embarrassed by Ji Lingzhou because she wanted to see him.

Cheng Mingran felt warm in her heart. Even though her father had not been by her side for so many years, she always knew that he would always think of her no matter what time it was...
