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

Li Sheng has been in the palace for so long, so he naturally knows the twists and turns involved, so it is impossible for this matter to be let go.

But... Ji Lingzhou was destined to be unable to find out. Since the Queen Mother had already done it, she would naturally not leave any traces...

So the final result is...

at night

"Your Majesty, I have had the medicine residue checked. The medicine that Concubine Shu took today is indeed just the most common decoction for nourishing the body." Li Sheng replied.

Ji Lingzhou slowly tightened his hands on the chair. Did he really misunderstand?

"But... Your Majesty, the maid in question today was not a maid from the Pharmacy Bureau, nor was she a maid from the Purple Palace or the Empress Shufei's side. I asked someone to check the official records of that maid, but there is no record of her."

"After what happened today, I had the maid locked up. But when I went to check just now, she had already hit the wall and died." Li Sheng replied.

No official status? How did such an unidentified maid enter the palace? And since she was already locked up and there were people guarding her, it was impossible for someone else to enter and kill her. Then... could it be that the maid committed suicide out of fear of punishment?

"Does anyone else in the palace know her? Has she met anyone before?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"I have asked people to check, but no one said they had seen her." Li Sheng said again.

This is really strange. Even if some palace servants were bribed and pretended not to know this palace maid, it is impossible that no one has seen her, right?

Ji Lingzhou's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. How could it be possible...

Shoukang Palace

"Dead?" The Queen Mother was also a little surprised when she heard the news.

"Yes, it is said that when Eunuch Li sent people to interrogate the maid, her body was already cold." The nanny replied.

The Queen Mother's expression quickly returned to normal: "That's within expectations."

"It is said that she did not see anyone during this period, so it is judged that she died by hitting the wall. Could she have committed suicide out of fear of punishment?" asked the nanny.

"So many people have died in this palace, and even the methods of their deaths are strange. Now there is only a cause of death. As long as someone believes it, it is enough." The Queen Mother did not answer directly.

The nanny nodded: "I am afraid that His Majesty will find out about the Empress..."

"It wasn't me who did it, so what if he finds out? Besides... who said that the palace maid today didn't see anyone during that period of time?" The Queen Mother curled her lips slightly.

"Your Majesty, you have stayed in the previous dynasty for too long. Have you forgotten the methods of the harem? The people around him are very powerful..." The empress dowager's eyes turned cold. It was a pity that these methods were actually used on her own Ranran.

If it was someone else, she would have turned a blind eye, but now... the Queen Mother's eyes gradually returned to normal: "Is Ranran asleep?"

"He has gone to bed, but... I'm afraid he hasn't fallen asleep yet." The nanny replied.

"She has something hidden in her heart, so it's normal that she can't figure it out for a while. I just hope that what I'm doing now won't harm her. I'm just afraid." I'm afraid that she will be as deeply trapped in it as I am, and unable to extricate herself. I'm afraid that she will regret it for the rest of her life like I do.

The nanny beside her smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is also doing this for the good of the Concubine Shu."

"No one in this world has the right to say that what they do is for the good of others. Only they themselves can understand whether it is really good or not," she said.

After hearing this, the nanny didn't say anything else. Everyone understood this truth, but her own queen had indeed done a lot for Concubine Shu.

内殿

Cheng Mingran had already lain down, and the candles in the room had gone out. She looked at the ceiling, and could see a faint light coming through from outside, so she could barely recognize objects.

There were footsteps outside, Cheng Mingran looked over, who else would come over at this time? The door was pushed open, bringing in the candlelight they were holding.

"Aunt?" Cheng Mingran saw who was coming clearly.

The Queen Mother had already removed her makeup and came over in plain clothes, with an obvious smile on her face. Cheng Mingran quickly sat up from the bed, and the Queen Mother sat down beside her: "I'm afraid you can't sleep alone, can I accompany you tonight?"

When Cheng Mingran heard this, she immediately hugged the Queen Mother: "Okay, I like being with my aunt the most."

The Queen Mother touched her head lovingly and said, "You are still as clingy as when you were a child."

"In front of my aunt, I always act like a child." Cheng Mingran said.

The Queen Mother laughed, and then fell asleep with Cheng Mingran, served by the palace maids.

Cheng Mingran went straight into the Queen Mother's arms: "Aunt, I miss you so much."

"You're starting to act like a spoiled child again. From now on, no matter where your aunt goes, you should take our Ranran with you, okay?" asked the Queen Mother.

Cheng Mingran nodded: "Okay, he said we should leave the palace together and never come back, okay?"

The Queen Mother paused: "Have you really thought it through, Ranran?" she asked.

"Well, there is no need for me to stay here anymore. In fact, I should have thought it through a long time ago. If I had listened to my aunt at that time, perhaps we wouldn't be in the current situation." Cheng Mingran said.

but……

"But, Ranran, if, I mean if, if one day His Majesty becomes the you of the past, will you still think the same way?" asked the Queen Mother.

Cheng Mingran was full of confusion: "What does Auntie mean by this?" She really couldn't react.

"What I mean is, if one day Your Majesty becomes the one who takes the initiative, will you still think about leaving?" asked the Queen Mother.

Cheng Mingran was stunned when he heard this, but soon laughed at himself: "No..."

"What if? Nothing is absolute. Doesn't Ranran feel the change in His Majesty?" asked the Queen Mother.

Of course she felt it, but how could someone as arrogant as Ji Lingzhou take the initiative?

And even if she took the initiative, what would happen? Could she still gamble again? But she really couldn't afford it.

"The me before and the me now are two different people. If Your Majesty becomes the me of the past...Aunt, do you think the me of the present will accept my former self?" Cheng Mingran asked back.

Would my current self accept my past self? The answer is…

The Queen Mother pursed her lips slightly and held Cheng Mingran gently in her arms: "People will change, but some things can never change." The Queen Mother hinted at something.

Cheng Mingran stopped arguing...
