After Ji Lingzhou changed his clothes, he saw Cheng Mingran looking away uncomfortably. He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a playful look in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Haven't you seen it?" he asked deliberately.

Cheng Mingran didn't know how to answer, she just kept looking to the side. Ji Lingzhou rarely saw Cheng Mingran like this. She used to be proactive, and although she was shy, she was still very brave. But now she didn't dare to look, which was a bit unexpected.

But he didn't have that much time to tease her now, so he changed his clothes quickly and carried her outside again.

Cheng Mingran was not too panicked this time because she had made preparations in advance. She stayed in Ji Lingzhou's arms at ease, but because she was wearing nothing but a cloak, she felt a little uncomfortable.

The imperial physician had been waiting outside for a long time, and Ji Lingzhou directly carried her to the bed. Because she had just soaked in hot water for a while, she was now much warmer.

Ji Lingzhou asked her to lie down on the bed: "Let them come and help you change clothes?" he asked proactively.

Cheng Mingran nodded. After all, her current appearance was not very decent. But...

"I suddenly don't want them to come over." Ji Lingzhou changed the subject.

Cheng Mingran: “???” What does that mean? Why didn’t she understand?

Ji Lingzhou looked at Cheng Mingran: "I'm here, so there's no need for them to help you change clothes." Ji Lingzhou said immediately.

Cheng Mingran: "..."

"Someone, come and bring all of Concubine Shu's spare clothes." Ji Lingzhou shouted outside.

Shuhua and the others had been waiting for a long time, and now they hurried in when they heard the call, but as soon as they came in, they heard Ji Lingzhou say: "Just put the things down."

Don't they need to help them change clothes? Although they were confused, they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they replied "yes" and left.

When Cheng Mingran saw this, she knew that Ji Lingzhou was serious about what he had just said, but she really felt that it was not appropriate.

"Your Majesty, I can do it myself." Cheng Mingran replied.

But Ji Lingzhou had finally caught him this time, so how could he let him go so easily? He immediately said, "It's just an undershirt. I'll help you, and you can just leave it alone."

"It's just an undergarment. I can do it myself." Cheng Mingran really couldn't imagine what it would be like if Ji Lingzhou helped her put on clothes.

Ji Lingzhou no longer gave her the chance to refuse and directly took the dress. Cheng Mingran still wanted to struggle, but Ji Lingzhou took the clothes and started to say: "I'm not so bad that I can't wear any clothes. Why are you so awkward? You have seen what you should have seen, and done what you should have done. You are still hesitant here. What's the difference?" Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran: "..."

She suddenly realized that Ji Lingzhou's way of speaking now seemed to be very different from before, and...why was he talking so much nonsense now? He even had a tendency to be shameless.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, otherwise you will be naked when the imperial physician comes in to take your pulse?" Ji Lingzhou said as he reached out to help her open her cloak.

The sudden action caught Cheng Mingran off guard, and her body was once again exposed to Ji Lingzhou's eyes.

Even white jade has flaws... The scars on her body once again stung Ji Lingzhou's eyes. He sat down beside her calmly and put the clothes on her.

Cheng Mingran followed her movements and quickly put on her clothes, but she didn't even dare to raise her head during the process.

Ji Lingzhou's arms went around her waist, and the distance between them suddenly became very close. Cheng Mingran could even clearly feel Ji Lingzhou's breathing.

He helped Cheng Mingran tie the belt around her waist with clumsy movements. Cheng Mingran smelled the familiar scent on him, and for some reason, her nose suddenly felt a little sour.

If he could do this in the past, even if he was pretending, she wouldn't feel so bad. She tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, and countless grievances kept rising in her heart.

Ji Lingzhou let the person go and was about to say something when he noticed something was wrong with Cheng Mingran: "What's wrong?" he asked, why were her eyes so red.

Cheng Mingran shook her head and suppressed her emotions: "I'm fine." Her voice was nasal and Ji Lingzhou frowned.

"Crying?" Ji Lingzhou asked uncertainly.

Cheng Mingran didn't want to admit it, so she just said casually: "Maybe I still caught a cold, so my nose feels uncomfortable." Cheng Mingran evaded the question like that.

Ji Lingzhou was skeptical, but since she said so, he couldn't ask any further, so he changed the subject: "Now that you're dressed, do your legs still hurt?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran subconsciously wanted to shake her head and say it didn't hurt anymore, but she felt uncomfortable as soon as she moved her foot, so she replied: "It still hurts a little, but it's much better than before."

Ji Lingzhou looked at her legs and helped her lay them flat. Cheng Mingran felt a little pain, but she could barely bear it.

"It will be a little uncomfortable, but it's not a big problem." Ji Lingzhou said as he gently pressed her.

In order to prevent himself from using inappropriate strength, he observed Cheng Mingran's expression while pressing. However...

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Mingran stretched out her hand to stop him. Letting an emperor massage her legs? Where did this make sense? She didn't have the guts to do that.

But Ji Lingzhou completely ignored him: "Is this better?" he asked while pressing.

Cheng Mingran knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless, so she simply stopped resisting and slowly relaxed. Not to mention, Ji Lingzhou's pressure seemed to have really relieved her pain a lot.

"It's much better than just now." Cheng Mingran answered honestly.

"As long as it works." Ji Lingzhou didn't say anything else. He continued pressing for a while and stopped only when he saw that it was almost effective.

Cheng Mingran also felt relieved. No one knew how much psychological pressure she was under when Ji Lingzhou was massaging her legs just now.

"Let the imperial physician in." Ji Lingzhou then shouted to the outside.

When the imperial physician heard the summons, he was as if he had been pardoned. They were finally allowed in. God knows how nervous they were when they were waiting outside.

The imperial physician lowered his head and walked into the inner hall: "Greetings to Your Majesty, and to Your Majesty." Several imperial physicians bowed and greeted.

It doesn't seem like a big deal, right? If it's really nothing, they can relax a little. They were all scared when they heard that the Concubine Shu and His Majesty fell into the cold lake.
