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

In broad daylight, the news that Ji Lingzhou had taken Cheng Mingran away spread throughout the harem. Later, it was learned that His Majesty had visited Cheng Mingran in the Zichen Palace. I don't know how many handkerchiefs the women in the harem tore into pieces.

Fengyi Palace

The Queen also heard about this, but...

"The Empress Dowager just returned to the palace today, and Concubine Shu has already left with His Majesty? This is strange." The Queen said in a neither light nor heavy tone.

The maid looked helpless: "My lady, isn't it important that Concubine Shu is favored by His Majesty?"

The queen looked calm and said, "Since Shufei is a concubine, is it any surprise that Your Majesty has come to visit her?"

"But His Majesty hasn't favored the concubines for a long time. Ever since Concubine Shu came out of the cold palace, His Majesty has never visited other people's palaces again." said the palace maid.

The queen sighed softly: "After all, it is your majesty's business. If I interfere too much, it will only make your majesty disgusted. However... what the concubine did today was indeed not appropriate, and it is not in accordance with the rules to cling to your majesty in broad daylight." In the past, his majesty did not have the habit of favoring concubines in broad daylight.

"Then Her Majesty, please take care of this matter?" asked the palace maid.

A look of confusion appeared on the queen's face.

"Behind Concubine Shu is the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has just returned to the palace. If I punish Concubine Shu now, it would seem that I am not giving face to the Empress Dowager." The Queen was also embarrassed.

"But if Her Majesty really doesn't care, then the other concubines will probably have more excuses tomorrow," said the palace maid.

"This is what is giving me a headache. I'm caught in the middle and it's really hard for me to deal with it." The queen felt dizzy whenever she thought about it. It was really hard to weigh the complications in the harem.

The maidservant beside her didn't know how to answer, so the queen finally asked, "Does the queen mother know about this?"

"The Empress Dowager already knows about it, but she hasn't made any response," the maid replied.

The Queen's expression remained unchanged: "Then let's put this matter aside for now. You can skip the greetings tomorrow. Just say that I have a cold recently and feel unwell, so I won't see guests for the time being."

She might as well hide away for some quiet time to avoid another quarrel tomorrow. Besides, even if she didn't care about these things, someone else would take care of them...

Sure enough, the next morning Ji Lingzhou received more than one or two reports about Concubine Shu seducing the king to commit adultery in broad daylight.

Ji Lingzhou's face darkened when he saw these memorials, and he threw them aside. Li Sheng, who was standing nearby, saw this and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"These guys are really capable. They are all keeping an eye on my private affairs, right? They are well-informed. They really think they know everything, right?" Ji Lingzhou was getting more and more angry.

Li Sheng did not dare to say anything nonsense, and just said: "Your Majesty, your health is more important, don't get angry and hurt yourself."

"Where is Concubine Shu?" Ji Lingzhou asked again.

Fortunately, Li Sheng was prepared. When he heard this question, he replied: "The Concubine Shu has been staying in Zichen Palace, but... I heard from the people below that the Concubine Shu has not eaten since yesterday."

Ji Lingzhou's aura suddenly sank: "Is she on a hunger strike?"

Li Sheng did not dare to answer rashly: "I am afraid that the Concubine Shu was thinking about something wrong for a moment..."

"Go to Zichen Palace!" Ji Lingzhou said.

A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Li Sheng's forehead: "Yes." Your Majesty has become more and more irritable recently. I just hope that now the Concubine Shu will not be so stubborn.

When Ji Lingzhou returned to Zichen Palace, the palace servants were carrying out the food. However, the food looked untouched, so Ji Lingzhou stopped them and asked, "What's going on?"

The maid knelt down and quickly answered, "Your Majesty, this is the breakfast that we brought in for Madam Shufei, but Madam Shufei didn't eat a single bite. We saw that the food was cold, so we brought it out."

Sure enough, when Ji Lingzhou heard this, his face almost fell to the ground.

"Bring another one and send it over immediately." Ji Lingzhou gave the order.

The palace maid did not dare to delay and quickly agreed, "Yes," and quickly retreated.

Ji Lingzhou looked inside the house, then walked inside.

Cheng Mingran was now wearing a set of underwear. She hugged her legs and sat quietly at the head of the bed. Her hair was unkempt and all scattered behind her.

When she heard the noise, she looked towards the door. The moment she saw it was Ji Lingzhou, she looked away.

Ji Lingzhou was unhappy seeing her reaction. He walked forward and said, "Are you going on a hunger strike with me? Why don't you eat? Cheng Mingran, do you know what you are doing now?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

Cheng Mingran didn't answer, but just turned her head to the side.

"Do you think you can do whatever you want now that the Queen Mother has returned? I warn you, since I can get the Queen Mother back, it won't be difficult to send her back to the palace, or even to other places."

"Also, for those members of the Cheng family who are still in prison, I have plenty of reasons and ways to prevent them from ever getting out. If you think I'm too merciful, then I can let you see in advance what life in prison is like. I just don't know how long your father can hold on, and how much of the punishment he can endure!" Ji Lingzhou's every word was filled with ruthlessness.

Cheng Mingran felt a chill all over her body when she heard these words. She looked at Ji Lingzhou in disbelief: "You threaten me..."

"This has never been a threat, it's reality. The reason they are fine is because I don't want to touch them, but that doesn't mean I dare not touch them. If you insist on being stubborn with me, then I can satisfy you and see who is more cruel, you or I."

Cheng Mingran didn't dare to speak, Ji Lingzhou stretched out his hand and lifted her chin: "The weak are the most pathetic. So I'll say it one last time, be obedient, otherwise I don't know what I will do. I don't want to use that kind of means on you, but if you insist on your own way, I can tame you at any time... Do you understand?"

Cheng Mingran's body trembled slightly, and Ji Lingzhou let her go. The palace servants below just happened to bring the meal over again, and Ji Lingzhou glanced at it and said: "Eat."

As soon as Ji Lingzhou finished speaking, the meal was brought forward by the palace maid. Cheng Mingran looked at these things for a long time without moving.

"Cheng Mingran, my patience is limited." Ji Lingzhou just said this.

Cheng Mingran swallowed softly, she was afraid... Finally she compromised and slowly picked up the breakfast brought by the palace maid.
