Ji Lingzhou didn't know what he did was right or wrong. He used to think he could do no wrong, and he once thought he was worthy of the status of emperor by sitting in this position.

In the previous life, whether it was the imperial court or the people, the politics was clean, the people were prosperous, the government was smooth and the people were harmonious, and the taxes were light. Even wars were rare, the people lived and worked in peace, and the people often sang praises to the virtues of the emperor.

Did he do anything wrong? From the perspective of an emperor, all his affairs must be based on the country and the people. If he really did something wrong, the people would be in dire straits. But in fact, in the records of his previous life and later generations, his merits can be heard everywhere.

So... as for the final outcome, he was not wrong.

But... no matter what you want to accomplish, there will always be many sacrifices and many trade-offs along the way. If you want to reach the end of a road, there will always be forks and detours in the middle, so... not everything goes smoothly, and there are many mistakes.

"The sobering soup is getting cold, drink it first." Ji Lingzhou didn't know how to discuss this topic, so Cheng Mingran lowered her head.

Ji Lingzhou fed the hangover soup to her mouth: "Be obedient, drink it first, and then we can talk about other things, okay?"

This time, Cheng Mingran did not refuse, nor did she reach out to take the bowl herself. Instead, she slowly drank the entire bowl of sobering soup from his hand.

"Go and have a rest, okay?" Ji Lingzhou watched him drink the whole bowl of sobering soup, and she felt relieved. If she drank like this now, she would have a headache tomorrow.

But Cheng Mingran obviously didn't want to do that, she supported herself on the table and was about to stand up. Ji Lingzhou was afraid that he would fall, so he subconsciously protected him.

Cheng Mingran staggered towards the inner room. Ji Lingzhou thought she was going to rest, so he put down the things in his hands and followed her in.

but……

She had just walked into the bed and didn't make any further moves. Ji Lingzhou walked up to her and asked, "Do you need me to call someone in?"

Cheng Mingran shook her head. Before Ji Lingzhou could say the next word, she started to take off her clothes. The gauze cover on the outside fell gently to the ground.

Ji Lingzhou frowned slightly: "You..." Before he could finish his words, Cheng Mingran turned around and hugged his waist.

All the words Ji Lingzhou wanted to say were instantly stuck in his throat, and he didn't even know what to do with his hands. What was going on?

"Your Majesty..." she called out.

Ji Lingzhou hesitated for a long time, and finally put his arms around her waist. When he heard her calling him, he also responded in cooperation: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"I have displeased Your Majesty today... I apologize." In this state, Cheng Mingran couldn't tell whether she was awake or not.

If he was awake, how could he hold Ji Lingzhou like this? If he was not awake, how could he remember his mission today?

"What happened today... is not your fault." Ji Lingzhou was also stunned when he heard this. Is she still thinking about this? Even blaming herself for the problem?

Cheng Mingran didn't say anything, she just raised her head from his arms, and after a long while she said: "I know I was wrong..."

Ji Lingzhou sighed. In her current state, she probably wouldn't be able to hear what he said.

Just when Ji Lingzhou was about to help the person sit down on the bed, Cheng Mingran directly tore off her waist belt, and Ji Lingzhou's expression became serious.

"What are you doing?" He held Cheng Mingran's hand.

"I... am willing to give it to Your Majesty. I have no intention of hiding..." She had told herself this before, and even though she was drunk now, this statement was still deeply imprinted in her mind.

She needs to calm Ji Lingzhou down...

Ji Lingzhou suddenly had a headache when he heard this: "You are drunk now and unconscious. Take a rest first and don't mention these things anymore."

"Your Majesty said that I am a concubine, and His Majesty told me not to forget my identity. I have had a relationship with Your Majesty a long time ago, so... I should not hide today." After she finished speaking, she looked at Ji Lingzhou's thin lips and dared to kiss him directly.

Ji Lingzhou had not anticipated her action, so this sudden move caught him off guard. The moment he felt the warmth of her lips, his mind went blank.

What...is she doing?

Ji Lingzhou's momentary daze seemed to give Cheng Mingran courage, as if as long as he didn't push her away, as long as he didn't refuse, that would mean he consented to all her actions.

The drunk Cheng Mingran became more and more bold with Ji Lingzhou's "acquiescence", and finally she even stood on tiptoe, hooked her hands around her neck, and nibbled her lips bit by bit.

Ji Lingzhou also felt dry mouth and tongue in an instant, and his lower abdomen became hot and stiff. He pulled the person away, and Cheng Mingran was bewildered the moment she was pulled away. She looked at Ji Lingzhou with a confused look in her eyes, and seemed innocent.

"Do you know what you are doing?" Ji Lingzhou's voice was obviously hoarse.

Cheng Mingran was in a daze. When she heard him ask, she took a lot of effort to figure out whether Ji Lingzhou's tone showed anger or not.

"I'm sorry..." She couldn't tell and had no choice but to apologize. Did she do something wrong again?

Ji Lingzhou was helpless: "What are you sorry for? I'm just reminding you to be clear about what you are doing now, otherwise what if you regret it after you sober up?"

Cheng Mingran lost her balance and fell to the side. Ji Lingzhou quickly pulled her into his arms, and Cheng Mingran's big eyes stared at him quietly.

Her eyes used to be sparkling, and they always seemed to be smiling no matter what the circumstances, like a jar of clear water with ripples all the time.

But looking at it again now... those eyes were full of trauma, still made up, as if they had experienced countless vicissitudes of life and were not worth living in this world.

"Your Majesty..." Her voice trembled.

Ji Lingzhou didn't say anything, but Cheng Mingran said: "I have never seen you look at me like this before. What you did just now... was it because I saw it wrong?"

Hearing Cheng Mingran's words, Ji Lingzhou tightened his hold around her waist.

I don’t know if it was because I felt the strength on my waist, but Cheng Mingran suddenly became bolder.

"Your Majesty's embrace is not always cold. So, Your Majesty, can you hug me properly?" Her tone seemed to be pleading, and lonely, but... more of it was caution.
