Purple Palace

Ji Lingzhou had just finished dealing with the memorials in his hands. As the New Year was approaching, he had more and more things to do.

"Your Majesty" Li Sheng walked in from outside.

Ji Lingzhou looked over: "What's the matter?" he asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, news just came from Shoukang Palace that Concubine Shu's belongings have been moved back to Lianyi Palace." Li Sheng said while bowing.

When Ji Lingzhou heard this, the impatience in his eyes melted away a little: "So soon?"

"Yes, I heard that the Empress Dowager also wanted to stay, but I don't know what Concubine Shu said. In the end, the Empress Dowager finally agreed." Li Sheng said.

Ji Lingzhou was not particularly surprised. He glanced at the sky outside: "Is it still snowing outside?" he asked proactively.

"Your Majesty, it had stopped snowing, but it just started again. I think the snow outside is still heavy," Li Sheng replied.

Ji Lingzhou frowned slightly: "She has moved her things back, but where is she? Has she left?"

"He said he had accompanied the Empress Dowager for dinner and is on his way back now." Li Sheng replied.

It's snowing so heavily outside. If I go back now, the road will be so dark. What if I accidentally fall?

Ji Lingzhou pondered for a while, then said: "Let's go and take a look."

"Yes," Li Sheng was not surprised. However, His Majesty had to go there in person despite such heavy snow... Well, it was really different from before.

In fact, Cheng Mingran had just left Shoukang Palace. As the ground was covered with snow, the empress dowager had someone prepare a sedan chair to avoid getting her clothes dirty or wet.

It was very dark outside. The palace servants in front were holding lanterns, but it was still pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly any further away.

The sedan chair was moving very slowly. Cheng Mingran was sitting in it with a hot water bottle in her arms. Her mind was full of what Ji Lingzhou and the Queen Mother had said today.

Shuhua followed beside him, and the wind and snow outside were getting stronger and stronger.

"How long will it take?" Cheng Mingran couldn't help but ask. It was really cold outside, especially in the middle of the night.

"Your Majesty, it should take another quarter of an hour." Shuhua replied.

Okay... Cheng Mingran sighed slightly, but just when she relaxed, the sedan suddenly tilted to the side.

The person carrying the sedan chair at the back slipped and fell to the side. Although he tried hard to hold the sedan chair, he couldn't control his slipping feet.

Cheng Mingran's pupils shrank slightly, and he followed the sedan chair and fell towards the pond next to him.

"Empress!" Shuhua's exclamation suddenly came to mind.

Before Cheng Mingran could do anything, she didn't know who pushed her in the dark night, and she went straight towards the pond.

The cold lake water instantly submerged her body, and the bone-chilling cold made Cheng Mingran stiff.

Ji Lingzhou had just come over when he saw this scene. His heart sank, and without thinking too much, he jumped directly into the lake.

"Your Majesty!" Li Sheng was terrified at the side. He quickly ran forward and called on these people to rescue people.

Cheng Mingran also wanted to struggle to get up, but the sudden fall into the water caused her legs to cramp. The severe pain in her legs made her whole body tremble.

Just when she thought she might die here, Ji Lingzhou directly took her into his arms. On the shore, Li Sheng and Shuhua had someone bring fire, which was bright and bright.

Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou in front of her with a painful expression. It was too cold and her legs hurt.

"Don't be afraid." Ji Lingzhou just comforted her gently: "I'll take you up." As he said that, he held the person in his arms and went to the shore.

Li Sheng's face was full of bitterness. What if something happened? They couldn't save their heads even if they had ten.

Cheng Mingran was rescued successfully. Ji Lingzhou looked at the trembling woman in his arms: "Give me her clothes!" Ji Lingzhou shouted.

Li Sheng quickly handed over the cloak he had just held, and Ji Lingzhou wrapped it around him: "I'll take you back to the palace."

He could clearly feel someone shivering in his arms. Yes, she was afraid of the cold, and now she fell into the cold lake, she was afraid she would suffer again.

If he hadn't happened to come here today, he couldn't imagine what would have happened.

Cheng Mingran said nothing, she was still in shock. After all, this kind of life-and-death speed was something she had never experienced before.

"Call the imperial physician!" After Ji Lingzhou said this, he carried the person to Lianyi Palace without saying a word.

Cheng Mingran had never been so quiet and obedient in his arms before, and she really didn't have the energy to do so now. But... maybe only now could she feel a little different in her heart.

She looked up at Ji Lingzhou, and he seemed to have never been so worried about anyone before.

Ji Lingzhou quickly brought the person back to Lianyi Palace, but the imperial physician had not arrived yet.

"All your clothes are wet. Take them off first and then take a hot bath." The anxiety between Ji Lingzhou's eyebrows could not be faked.

Before Cheng Mingran could say anything, Ji Lingzhou had someone prepare hot water and carried her to the bathing pool in the back.

The palace servants had already prepared hot water, and the bathtub was surrounded by smoke and hot air. There was also enough charcoal fire inside, so the whole room was warm.

Ji Lingzhou raised his hand to untie Cheng Mingran's clothes. Cheng Mingran resisted for a moment and grabbed Ji Lingzhou's hand on her waist.

"Why are you still so unhappy at this time? What part of your body have I not seen? Is your body more important or these so-called sense of shame?" Ji Lingzhou was a little angry.

It's already this time, and she's still resisting me. What's going on in her mind? Does she hate herself so much? She can't even take care of herself?

When Cheng Mingran heard her words, she didn't have time to argue, she just said: "I can do it myself."

Ji Lingzhou was annoyed when he heard this. He thought he could do everything, but what was the result? He ended up like this.

But he didn't force him and just let him go.

But before Cheng Mingran could stand firmly, she screamed in pain as soon as her feet touched the ground.

"Ah" Cheng Mingran had clearly already controlled herself, but the sound still came out.

Ji Lingzhou's brows were getting deeper and deeper. He looked at Cheng Mingran and asked, "What's wrong? Did you hurt your foot just now?" As he said that, he was about to go and check.
