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

Cheng Mingran knew that it was inappropriate for her to say these things, but she just couldn't help it. Ever since the last time they talked about these things, she seemed to really not care what he thought.

"Your Majesty just called me and said it was about my father. I wonder what Your Majesty wants to say next?" Cheng Mingran no longer had time to waste, so she asked directly.

Ji Lingzhou saw the change in her attitude clearly. Cheng Mingran now really made him feel very strange. He... seemed to have really lost something, and it was something very important to him.

"Is it only in matters like this that you can talk to me properly?" Ji Lingzhou asked directly.

Cheng Mingran didn't even want to raise her head: "Your Majesty clearly knows that apart from my father, I have nothing else to ask for now."

"Aren't you afraid that your current behavior will really anger me, and then I will do something against your father?" Ji Lingzhou was calm. Cheng Mingran's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she still pretended to be calm.

"Your Majesty can do whatever you want. You are the king of a country, and I am naturally powerless to stop you. After all, would Your Majesty let go of the Cheng family because of me?" Cheng Mingran finally looked at Ji Lingzhou seriously.

Ji Lingzhou stared into the eyes of the woman in front of him: "Are you blaming me? Blaming me for attacking the Cheng family without knowing right or wrong."

"Your Majesty has always known very well whether the Cheng family is really guilty. Do you need me to explain why Your Majesty did this?" Cheng Mingran's words became more and more intense.

Ji Lingzhou couldn't deny it, but didn't he have his own ideas?

"In that case, you should be very clear that anyone I don't want to let go will definitely not have a good ending." Ji Lingzhou stared at the woman in front of him.

Of course Cheng Mingran knew this: "So why did Your Majesty suddenly release me from the cold palace? Why did you suddenly bring the empress dowager out from the temporary palace? Why did you even suppress the matter and ignore it when the court officials sued my father before?" Cheng Mingran simply dumped out everything.

Ji Lingzhou looked down at the cup of water in front of him: "You have just seen boiling water."

Cheng Mingran didn't react to what he meant for a moment.

"Your Majesty, what does you want to say to me?" Cheng Mingran asked directly.

"The process of snow melting into water is not very difficult, but a whole bowl of clean snow cannot melt into a whole bowl of water. The water poured into the teapot was originally fine, but after being boiled over low heat, it began to boil. The water that originally fit in the pot kept bubbling up." Ji Lingzhou was saying something that seemed to be true but was not.

Cheng Mingran still didn’t quite understand.

"I have no other intention in doing this. I just want to stop the boiling by adding more water, and you should understand the saying of removing the firewood from under the cauldron." Ji Lingzhou continued.

Cheng Mingran frowned slightly, but Ji Lingzhou no longer wanted to continue explaining.

"You want to leave here, and you want to leave me. Then what? What are your plans? Just leave the capital forever and live what you call an ordinary life?" Ji Lingzhou began to ask actively.

"Isn't this good? The court is full of disputes and the harem is full of intrigues. Wouldn't it be better to leave than to stay in a place where you don't even know how and when you will die? Life in the folk is ordinary. Although there is no wealth and glory, at least the family is safe and sound." Cheng Mingran answered again.

But Ji Lingzhou laughed.

"What are you laughing at, Your Majesty?" Cheng Mingran didn't quite understand.

"I laugh at you for being so naive. Do you think everything will be fine if you leave?" Ji Lingzhou said.

"What does your majesty mean? As long as your majesty stops making things difficult for us, my concubine and my father will remain anonymous and nothing will happen." Cheng Mingran didn't care.

Ji Lingzhou's lips curled slightly: "You think it's quite simple. After staying in the palace for so long, don't you have any progress?"

Cheng Mingran frowned: "What exactly does your majesty want to say?"

"Cheng Mingran" Ji Lingzhou called her full name again.

Their eyes met, and the next moment she heard Ji Lingzhou say again: "There has never been any real peace in this world. Once you enter the game, you can only be a player in the game for the rest of your life. Are you still dreaming of living a peaceful life?"

Before Cheng Mingran had a chance to speak, Ji Lingzhou continued on his own: "Do you know why I have not been able to convict your father of a crime for so long?"

Cheng Mingran was slightly stunned when she heard this. She actually knew something about it, but was this related to what they had just said?

"Your father is a military commander who has fought on the battlefield for many years and has accumulated great prestige among the military commanders. Not only in the court but also among the people, many people support him. Such a person has never relied on a military token or an official position to convince and make people obey him."

"So even if he is not in the court, it is impossible for him to really leave the court." Ji Lingzhou laid the matter out directly.

Cheng Mingran had indeed never thought about this. After all, court affairs had never had anything to do with her.

"Although the Cheng family army has been loyal to the court for these years, your father is the only one who has obeyed them for so long. Otherwise, how could they not obey the new arrangement later? There are so many people in the court, but no one can subdue the Cheng family army. In their hearts, the only person they recognize is your father. Tell me, even if your father really left the court, if he wants to come back one day, who will these people listen to?"

"You know it very well in your heart. If you know it very well, you should know whether such an existence will become a threat. Even if I trust your father's loyalty, what about others?"

"Your father does have a lot of supporters, but the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Aren't there enough people who want to bring him down? The Cheng family has been calling the shots in the court for many years, how many people want to replace them? The building is about to fall, aren't there enough people who want to take advantage of the situation?"

"Do you think everything will be fine once he leaves the court? His existence has never been a threat to just me. Especially some military generals who have been waiting for their turn for so many years. Now that the opportunity has come, will they let it go easily?"

"If your father really resigns and returns to his hometown, will he be really clean? Will everything be peaceful? As a powerless commoner, can he defeat these dignitaries in the court? Even if they don't try to trip him up in the dark, can you handle the open targeting or even the blatant assassination? Can your father handle it? Or can the queen mother handle it?" Ji Lingzhou asked several questions in a row.

After hearing these words, Cheng Mingran finally calmed down and stopped refuting...
