Cheng Mingran's words created ripples in Ji Lingzhou's heart. He looked down at the drunken little woman, with indescribable feelings in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the sobering soup is here. I'll serve it to Your Majesty." Shuhua came over and said.

Ji Lingzhou stretched out his hand: "No need, go down, I can take care of this." He directly took the hangover soup from Shuhua's hand.

Shuhua looked worried, but seeing the state of His Majesty, there shouldn't be any serious problems. However...she was a little worried about the drunken queen.

The queen had never been drunk before, so Shuhua didn't know what she looked like when she was drunk. Moreover, she was in front of His Majesty now, what if something went wrong?

But she couldn't say these words. How dare they disobey Ji Lingzhou's orders? So she finally withdrew.

Ji Lingzhou helped the man sit down and said, "Drink this bowl of hangover soup first."

Cheng Mingran took a dazed look at the contents of Ji Lingzhou's bowl and shook her head: "No... I don't want to drink it. I hate taking medicine the most. It's so bitter."

Ji Lingzhou was helpless. Even he himself didn't know where he got all the patience from.

"This is not medicine, it's a hangover soup. Be obedient and drink it first. Otherwise you will have a headache when you wake up tomorrow morning. You have never been drunk before, and you will suffer the first time you get drunk." Ji Lingzhou said as he handed the bowl over again.

Cheng Mingran was unwilling: "No... I don't want to drink..." She gently pushed the bowl away, and then looked at Ji Lingzhou with tears in her eyes: "Don't force me to drink the medicine, okay?"

"It's not medicine, it's not bitter, and I'm not forcing you to do it. Drinking this can help you sober up." Ji Lingzhou said again.

"I'm not drunk... I'm not drunk, and I still know who you are..." Her fingers gently poked Ji Lingzhou's cheek.

When Ji Lingzhou heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you still remember me? Then who am I?" he asked.

"Your Majesty, you are Your Majesty..." She said, and just as she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something and hurriedly got up from his arms: "Your Majesty respects the rules..."

The corners of Ji Lingzhou's lips that were slightly raised suddenly stiffened, and then he heard Cheng Mingran say: "Your Majesty doesn't like me... Your Majesty hates me."

"Who told you these words?" Ji Lingzhou asked, and he pulled the man back: "I have never said such words."

Didn't you say that? Cheng Mingran stared at Ji Lingzhou with tears in her eyes: "You didn't say that, but... Your Majesty showed it everywhere."

I never said a word of hate, but every action I took was a manifestation of my self-hate.

Ji Lingzhou was slightly stunned, and suddenly an endless pain surged in his heart. Why did he feel uncomfortable when he said this just now?

Cheng Mingran wanted to sit down next to her. Just as Ji Lingzhou was about to help her, she stumbled back to the table: "Why doesn't Your Majesty like me? I...didn't do anything wrong, it's just because my last name is Cheng..." She picked up the wine jug again and poured herself a glass.

She did nothing wrong, it was just because she was a daughter of the Cheng family.

Ji Lingzhou opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, everything fell silent. Her words sounded a little wrong, but when she thought about it carefully, they seemed to be completely correct.

"Drinking... What does it feel like to be drunk?" She drank another glass of wine.

Ji Lingzhou put down the sobering soup: "It's very uncomfortable to be drunk, why do you want to be drunk so much?" he asked.

"Because I won't be sad when I'm drunk." She forced a smile, but it looked bitter no matter how you looked at it.

Ji Lingzhou sat down in front of her and took her hand: "What about now? Are you still sad?" he asked.

The loneliness in Cheng Mingran's eyes deepened little by little, and she leaned into Ji Lingzhou's arms: "I'm not drunk yet, so I feel sad."

How can she say she is not drunk when she is already so drunk? If she is drunk, she will not be sad. This is just a lie to children. How can she take it seriously?

"Let's not drink anymore, okay?" Ji Lingzhou took the wine jug from his hand.

Cheng Mingran just stared at his actions blankly, and then said, "Your Majesty..." She shouted with a red face.

"Hmm?" Ji Lingzhou agreed in a low voice.

"Have you really never liked me? From childhood to adulthood, you have only hated me, right? Why? No matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with you? Why don't you turn back when you are in front of me? I am so tired. I can only see your back every time. But no matter how hard I try to catch up with you, no matter how hard I try to get closer to you, I will only fall again and again. It really hurts..."

"Why won't you just look at me? Why do you treat me like that? When we were little, you clearly said you would protect me, but you forgot everything because you never took it seriously, right?" Cheng Mingran's eyes were red and her face looked pitiful.

Ji Lingzhou had a complicated expression and was silent for a long time before she answered: "I don't hate you, but there are some things that cannot be measured. Cheng Mingran, I am the emperor, and I have many concerns and considerations of my own."

"I may have too many suspicions about many things, and I owe you a lot. But there have never been many passionate and affectionate people in the imperial family, and it is even more impossible for me to be sincere to anyone, so I will never really fall in love with someone." Ji Lingzhou said.

It is impossible to be sincere to anyone, and it is impossible to really like someone...

The last bit of expectation in Cheng Mingran's heart was finally dashed at this moment.

"Everyone says that Your Majesty is the ruler of a country and the master of the world, and he can never be wrong. Your Majesty... do you feel that you have ever made a mistake?" Cheng Mingran suddenly asked.

When you did something wrong? Ji Lingzhou held her hand and paused for a moment. After Cheng Mingran left in the previous life, he had asked Li Sheng a question, asking him if Ji Lingzhou had done anything wrong.

At that time, Li Sheng’s answer was… “People always talk about cause and effect. If you investigate the cause, you will get the result. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. No matter what the reason is, the result will not be wrong.” (Zhi Lu Chapter 6)

Is it that the emperor can't make mistakes, or that people are afraid to point out the emperor's mistakes? Everything in the world has a cause and an effect. If Cheng Mingran blocking the sword for me in my previous life was the result, then what are the reasons for this bitter result?

and also……

If in the past life, I always thought about her past appearance in the years after his death, and after she left, I remembered her appearance more and more clearly, then what was the reason? What should be attributed to these reasons?

There is never a one-to-one mistake between the two of them...
