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

Purple Palace

In the soft morning light, the golden curtains swayed gently, faintly reflecting a figure. The silk bed moved slightly under the smooth touch, and Ji Lingzhou's eyes slowly opened on the soft pillow.

This is?

The maids whispered softly and moved lightly in the chamber, their long skirts sweeping across the smooth jade floor, almost silently. A faint scent of incense filled the air, intertwining with the morning breath.

Ji Lingzhou sat up slowly, his gorgeous dragon robe slid across the delicate silk, making a slight sound.

"Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court session." Li Sheng's low reminder came from outside.

Ji Lingzhou tilted his head slightly, and through the gauze curtain of the half-open window, he saw Li Sheng from decades ago? Why did he look like this? In his memory, he was clearly already in his twilight years.

He looked at his hand. It was not the hand of an old man. Was he dreaming again? Ji Lingzhou got off the bed calmly. The palace servants rushed in and prepared to help him change his clothes.

Golden Palace

Ji Lingzhou looked at the familiar courtiers below him, and his doubts grew even stronger. How could there be such a real dream? Even every detail was clear.

"Your Majesty, the Cheng family has its own army and is very powerful. Previously, we went to the military camp under your order to reorganize the Cheng family army. However, they openly questioned your Majesty's will and refused to obey your discipline. Please make the decision, Your Majesty!" A court official stood up.

Recruiting the Cheng family’s army… This happened more than four months after the Cheng family was imprisoned, right?

Before Ji Lingzhou could respond, others stood up one after another: "Your Majesty is wise. General Cheng is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He has been upright all his life. The Cheng family army has followed General Cheng through life and death for many years. Now there are still doubts about the Cheng family. Please think twice!"

The court officials below were divided into two groups and began to argue. Only Ji Lingzhou was full of doubts. Is this... really a dream? But if it's not a dream, then what is it?

"Enough." Ji Lingzhou opened his lips slightly, and the entire court fell silent in an instant.

Ji Lingzhou glanced around. Before he figured out what was going on, he didn't want to bother with these trivial matters: "Let's stop here today."

Everyone was puzzled. What happened to His Majesty? He seemed a little strange today. Even Li Sheng was surprised by Ji Lingzhou's performance. If it were in the past, His Majesty would not let it go so easily, right?

However, despite their doubts, they, as servants, had no power to comment. They could only say "dismiss the court" and escort Ji Lingzhou back to the Qinzheng Hall.

Ji Lingzhou has not recovered yet. He sits in front of his desk, looking at the memorials in front of him which are almost all about the Cheng family. His emotions become even more complicated.

Perhaps to prove that this was just a dream, he smashed the teacup beside him without saying a word. Li Sheng and the palace servants in the room immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"

Ji Lingzhou ignored him and instead took the ceramic fragment and cut his palm with it, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Your Majesty! Someone, come and call the imperial physician!" Li Sheng was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was in a panic. What was His Majesty doing?

However, Ji Lingzhou...

It hurts, so why doesn't he wake up? So this is really not a dream? But if it's not a dream, how can he return to this time? Or... everything in the past was a dream?

So... is this considered a new life?

"Where is Cheng Mingran?" Just when Li Sheng was still anxiously waiting, he heard Ji Lingzhou ask this question.

Ah? Why did His Majesty suddenly ask about Concubine Shu again?

But he still answered honestly: "Your Majesty, the Concubine Shu is now in the cold palace."

Yes, it’s all the same. Now Cheng Mingran is still in the cold palace, but before the Cheng family is completely convicted, she will temporarily retain the position of Shufei.

"Go to the cold palace." Ji Lingzhou stood up.

"Your Majesty, you still have a wound on your hand. Your health is the most important thing. Let the imperial physician treat your wound first before you go." Li Sheng advised helplessly. Why has His Majesty been so strange today? And he has also paid attention to the Concubine Shu in the cold palace?

In fact, even Ji Lingzhou didn’t know... He didn’t know why he thought of her first.

At this point, she had also been banished to the cold palace for four months. Ji Lingzhou recalled the scene that always appeared in his mind before his death, the lonely look of the woman under the withered locust tree in the cold palace, the fragmented light in her eyes fading away bit by bit, and for some reason, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

Is she the same as what he saw? Perhaps, but at that time, Cheng Mingran didn't even seem to have the right to be alone and quiet.

because……

"Someone, come here and beat him up for me!" Concubine Xian ordered in a domineering tone, and the next moment a loud slap landed on Cheng Mingran's face.

There was a buzzing in her ears and a dull pain on her face that made her expression numb.

Xian Fei looked at the person kneeling in front of her with a smug look on her face. Ever since Cheng Mingran was banished to the cold palace, people who came to cause trouble had been emerging one after another, especially Xian Fei. In her eyes, Cheng Mingran was just an abandoned woman in the cold palace. How could she not touch her?

This woman relied on her family background and the Empress Dowager to enter the palace and was named Concubine Shu, suppressing her and even causing her to lose her child. Now that she finally got the chance, could she let her off easily? Almost everyone in the palace knew that as a daughter of the Cheng family, Concubine Shu would never have a chance to turn things around in her life, so naturally no one would care about her anymore.

After being slapped several times, Concubine Xian finally called for a stop. She took two steps forward and kicked Cheng Mingran directly. Cheng Mingran lost her balance and fell to one side. Before she could get up, Concubine Xian stepped on her hand and crushed her hard.

"I forgot to tell you that my father has been ordered by His Majesty to collect the Cheng family army, but... the Cheng family army openly disobeyed the order, which is a serious crime. Do you think this counts as an order from the Cheng family? Cheng Li has his own army and now he is instigating his generals to disobey the imperial order. Do you think His Majesty will miss this opportunity and let the Cheng family go?" The virtuous concubine increased the strength of her feet little by little.

She just wanted to see this self-proclaimed proud woman crawling at her feet, wagging her tail like a dog and begging for mercy. But Cheng Mingran never begged for mercy from beginning to end. She gritted her teeth and endured without saying a word, which made her very dissatisfied.

Finally, when Cheng Mingran heard her mention the Cheng family, her dead eyes finally began to ripple. The Cheng family was loyal and had no second thoughts. She didn't believe that the Cheng family would have the intention of rebellion. Everything was just a lie by someone with ulterior motives, deliberately framing her!

But His Majesty does not believe it, or rather... he is unwilling to believe it, so he is guilty even if he is not guilty.

"My father has already reported the truth to the emperor this morning and requested His Majesty to punish the Cheng family. Do you think you will still have a chance to survive then? But don't worry, I will personally send you off." Concubine Xian said viciously, and then released the hand that had been stepping on her.
