Cheng Mingran was at a loss. Begging for mercy was really useless, but what else could she do now except doing something like this?

"The Cheng family's affairs will be fine until the final conclusion is reached, so you don't have to make any explanations, and don't interfere in such matters at will. Do you understand?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

He did bring up this matter on purpose just now. He had his own plans for the Cheng family's affairs, but he also knew that Cheng Mingran would definitely be worried and would definitely not just sit there and do nothing, so he brought up this matter on purpose.

It's not that he can't understand Cheng Mingran's feelings, but he is worried that Cheng Mingran will do something that will disrupt the original plan because of her worry, or even do something crazier, so he reminded her in advance.

However, these words sounded different to Cheng Mingran's ears.

In her heart, she understood that Ji Lingzhou's words were nothing more than a warning to her, warning her not to make any unnecessary struggles and asking her to be more content.

He really overestimated her. What else could a person like her do? Even if she had an idea in her mind, she didn't have the ability.

"Rest well and get your body back in shape soon, otherwise you won't be able to do anything you want to do." Ji Lingzhou didn't know why he suddenly said such words. The moment he said it, he felt... well, he couldn't describe the feeling.

Cheng Mingran was in low spirits and had no reaction to what Ji Lingzhou said.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You have to take care of yourself. If you don't care about it yourself, don't always expect others to care about it." Ji Lingzhou seemed to talk more recently.

Cheng Mingran wiped away her tears and tried hard to hold back her emotions that were close to collapse: "Yes..."

Ji Lingzhou frowned when he heard his trembling voice, but didn't say much. He turned around and left the hall.

After Ji Lingzhou disappeared from her sight, Cheng Mingran could no longer control her emotions. These days, she had been forcing herself to tell herself that the Cheng family would be fine, and she would definitely have a way to clear the Cheng family of their grievances.

But... in reality, she seemed unable to do anything. The moment she heard about the Cheng family, all her emotions burst out.

She didn't dare to cry because Ji Lingzhou didn't like it. She was afraid that if she cried too much, Ji Lingzhou would become even more annoyed and thus harm the Cheng family.

But now that he's gone, she doesn't have to endure it anymore. Shuhua walked up to Cheng Mingran with a worried look on her face: "Madam..."

This sound made Cheng Mingran's tears burst out like a flood. She hugged the calligraphy and painting and burst into tears.

Ji Lingzhou, who was outside at the door, heard it clearly. His hands hanging by his side clenched slightly, and the color in his eyes became darker and darker.

Li Sheng also found it strange to see His Majesty like this. How could he learn to eavesdrop? However, when Concubine Shu was crying like this, His Majesty...

He quietly raised his head and glanced at Ji Lingzhou beside him. Hmm? He didn't seem angry? Not only was he not angry, but his expression also looked a little... a little distressed? Was it distressed?

He had never seen distress in His Majesty's eyes, so he was not sure what His Majesty's mood was at the moment.

"When will the Queen Mother arrive?" Ji Lingzhou suddenly asked.

Li Sheng came back to his senses when he heard this: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will take another half a month."

Why is the pace so slow?

"Let's go." Ji Lingzhou didn't say anything else. He originally thought that if the Queen Mother came back, Cheng Mingran's condition might be better.

But now it seems that it will take some time, and she will definitely not be able to do it in this physical condition. Ji Lingzhou felt a little headache. When did he worry so much?

Cheng Mingran had no idea about Ji Lingzhou's psychological activities, and she didn't even know that he had actually heard her crying a long time ago.

Now she has slowly calmed down her emotions, only her red eyes still show what happened just now.

After leaving Lianyi Palace, Ji Lingzhou went directly to Qinzheng Hall, but at this moment, he was looking at the memorials on the table and had no interest in anything else.

His mind was filled with the sound of Cheng Mingran crying that he had just heard in Lianyi Palace. In addition, most of these memorials were about the Cheng family, and he felt upset when he read them.

He put down the memorial in his hand and tried to calm down. But in this gap, all he could think of was Cheng Mingran's indifferent and distant look just now.

She wasn't like this before...

When she was a child, she was raised by the empress dowager and was always envied by others, and she had free access in the palace.

She was still young at that time, but she liked to come to me very much, and she would always call me Brother Lingzhou. No matter how cold I was, she liked to come to me all at once.

Later, she entered the palace as a concubine. Ji Lingzhou still remembered that night when he went to Lianyi Palace, she came up to him without any manners, and wanted to drink wedding wine with him, and also had a wedding ceremony with him.

But she was scolded by him for not knowing etiquette and rules, and she even knocked over the wine she brought. After all, this kind of thing can only happen between husband and wife, and she is just a concubine, or to put it bluntly, a concubine.

He still remembered that after he said this, her eyes were red, but she resisted crying. Instead, she laughed and wanted to tell him how happy she was and how much she was looking forward to this day.

But myself...

Thinking of this, Ji Lingzhou suddenly felt powerless. He didn't know why he thought of these things at this time. But after Cheng Mingran left in his previous life, other things might have faded, but he always remembered things about her more and more clearly.

Even after the passage of time, when he recalled the past, he would find many details. Perhaps he himself did not even realize that when he recalled these details, his state of mind seemed to have changed a lot.

"What was Shufei like before?" Ji Lingzhou looked at Li Sheng.

He really wanted to know whether Cheng Mingran would change a lot in the eyes of these palace people.

"This..." Li Sheng was also confused by this sudden question. Why did His Majesty start to worry about such a problem?

"Just answer." Ji Lingzhou thought he had some concerns.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu grew up in the imperial palace since she was a child, and her etiquette and upbringing are impeccable. However...even though Concubine Shu grew up in the palace before, she had many differences from the people in the palace. Compared with most people, Concubine Shu was kind and innocent, and was always optimistic." Li Sheng replied.

To put it bluntly, it's actually a lively personality...
