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

There are many rules in this palace. Those who violate their superiors should be punished with 20 strokes of the cane. However, the rules are dead, and people are alive. Because of their different status, all punishments will be determined according to the circumstances at the time, and it is naturally impossible to deal with all of them in this situation.

"If Concubine Shu insists on doing so, then I can only ask His Majesty for instructions first." The Queen was really at a loss. If she openly punished so many concubines, she would have a hard time explaining herself when His Majesty asked about it.

Cheng Mingran probably knew the reason, so she didn't force it. She just said, "I don't want to embarrass Her Majesty. Since you have violated the palace rules, I think you haven't learned them thoroughly. So why don't you learn the rules again and copy them a hundred times?"

"That's a good idea. Let's do as you wish." said the queen.

Such matters in the harem should not disturb His Majesty if possible, so since Cheng Mingran is willing to take a step back, she is naturally happy to see it happen.

But... this only represents the two of them, not all the concubines who were punished.

As soon as they finished speaking, Concubine Yu retorted in dissatisfaction: "The Queen is acting unfairly, and I do not accept it."

"Yes, just because of such a small matter, Concubine Shu wants the Queen to punish so many concubines. This situation will probably be criticized." Concubine Lin followed closely.

"So what if you're a concubine in a high position? Since you're in a high position, you should set an example. If you're late, won't people tell you about it?" Chen Xiurong was even more blunt.

"Okay, since you all insist on holding me accountable for being late, I will be punished along with you today and copy the palace rules a hundred times." Cheng Mingran said this crisply, and the other concubines who were about to speak were instantly speechless.

Even though she was late today and caused dissatisfaction among those present, there was a hierarchy and they could point it out but they could not blame or accuse her.

To give an easy-to-understand example, if it was the Queen Mother and His Majesty today, even if the Queen was late, the people below would definitely not dare to say a word, but could only flatter them. This is called respect and inferiority!

Being a kind person is much more difficult than being an arrogant person, and it will only make people hate and despise you.

"What's wrong with this fever? Why do you need to punish yourself?" Ji Lingzhou's voice rang out without warning, and everyone present was a little surprised.

Then he hurriedly stood up from his seat and knelt down again, "Your Majesty!"

As soon as Ji Lingzhou came in, his eyes fell on Cheng Mingran who was standing beside him.

"Everyone, get up." Ji Lingzhou said, and then walked in front of Cheng Mingran: "Are you feeling unwell?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran was a little surprised how Ji Lingzhou noticed it. She felt very dizzy when she woke up this morning, but because she had to rush to attend the winter banquet, she endured it and did not call the imperial physician. How did he know?

Perhaps he saw the doubt in her eyes, Ji Lingzhou took the initiative to say: "The charcoal fire in this room is burning brightly, you don't feel hot even with so many clothes on, and your face looks even uglier, are you sick or something?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Maybe it's because the weather has been cold recently and I caught a cold. That's why I felt dizzy when I woke up this morning." Cheng Mingran said.

Ji Lingzhou sighed, then reached out and touched Cheng Mingran's forehead. What was wrong with this touch? His brows instantly frowned, and his face became ugly: "It's so hot? How can you bear it?"

Is it hot? Cheng Mingran herself didn't know she had a high fever, she just felt dizzy.

Everyone had different thoughts when seeing Ji Lingzhou and Cheng Mingran being so intimate. His Majesty was really being extremely indulgent and caring towards Concubine Shu.

Especially the concubines who had just spoken, the handkerchiefs in their hands were almost torn.

"Your Majesty," the Queen broke the current situation. Your Majesty never came to such occasions before, but he came today. Could it be because of Cheng Mingran?

Ji Lingzhou also looked over when he heard the voice: "What happened just now?" His face did not look very good.

The queen sighed silently in her heart, and finally repeated what happened just now. The more Ji Lingzhou listened, the darker his face became, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense.

"How dare you!" Ji Lingzhou roared.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The Queen took the lead and knelt down.

Cheng Mingran was also ready to kneel down, but Ji Lingzhou held her hand. She looked at Ji Lingzhou: "Your Majesty..."

"If you are sick, you shouldn't have come. You just came late, what's your fault?" Ji Lingzhou said.

What he said just now not only surprised Cheng Mingran, but also shocked the others. Who doesn't know that His Majesty is a person who values ​​rules the most? Being late? If it were His Majesty in the past, it would definitely not be tolerated, but how could it be now...

"Who said that just now?" Ji Lingzhou asked. He glanced at the concubines present. Just the look in his eyes was enough to make people shudder.

"Your Majesty..." The person who just spoke is now starting to get nervous.

"Since it is handled according to palace rules, the Queen should know what to do." Ji Lingzhou said, and the Queen was shocked.

"Your Majesty, would it be too harsh to punish him according to palace rules? After all, it's just a verbal dispute, and we can't damage the harmony." The queen advised.

"If the rules are set here but you don't follow them, then what's the point of setting them? All those who committed the crime just now will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane!" There was no turning back after Ji Lingzhou said this.

The queen had no choice but to agree. After all, she had said everything she needed to say, and other matters had nothing to do with her anymore.

Ji Lingzhou looked at Cheng Mingran again: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? If you are sick, stay in the palace. I will accompany you back." He said.

Cheng Mingran didn't expect things to turn out like this, but... she lowered her head. This wasn't a bad thing. No matter what Ji Lingzhou's purpose was, since he stood on her side today, it represented his attitude.

Now it is said in the harem that His Majesty favors her. If she is favored, then others will have to consider more when dealing with their father.

She looked at Ji Lingzhou holding her hand, and an unknown emotion flashed in her eyes.

Just when Ji Lingzhou was about to pull her away, Cheng Mingran's eyes went dark and she collapsed the next moment.

Ji Lingzhou was startled by this sudden change. He hugged her tightly, and Cheng Mingran fainted in his arms.

"Cheng Mingran? Someone, call the imperial physician!" Ji Lingzhou didn't have time to think about it, he just picked her up and carried her out of the hall...
