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

Ji Lingzhou took two steps forward, with an urgency on his face that he himself didn't even notice.

Cheng Mingran huddled in a corner, her face pale and full of panic. Ji Lingzhou stepped forward and squatted in front of her: "What's wrong?"

He was just about to reach out and hold her in his arms, but as soon as he extended his hand, Cheng Mingran shrank back, as if she was afraid that someone was going to hit her.

It's like this again. This isn't the first time. Ji Lingzhou paused, then pretended to be calm and hugged the man into his arms: "It's okay."

Cheng Mingran was completely held in his arms, and he patted her back with both hands: "Are you afraid of thunder?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran didn't answer and looked like she was still in shock.

The next moment there was another thunder. Cheng Mingran screamed in fright and finally buried herself in Ji Lingzhou's arms. She looked quite frightened.

She was wearing very thin clothes and was barefoot on the ground. Ji Lingzhou frowned slightly, then after thinking for a moment, he picked her up.

Ji Lingzhou put the person on the bed: "Sit down first, don't catch a cold." After he put the person down, he pulled the quilt over her and wrapped her.

"When did you suddenly become afraid of thunder? I've never seen you afraid before." Ji Lingzhou asked. Although Cheng Mingran was not very brave before, she was not afraid of thunder.

Cheng Mingran didn't say anything. He half-huggled her into his arms: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

"Your Majesty... don't go, don't go..." Cheng Mingran pulled his sleeves: "Would you please not go? I'm scared, I'm scared..."

Ji Lingzhou held her hand: "It's okay, go to sleep."

Cheng Mingran held on to his clothes tightly, fearing that he would disappear if she let go.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, go to sleep first, okay?" Ji Lingzhou continued. In fact, he had never coaxed anyone before, so he didn't know how to coax someone.

Ji Lingzhou patted her back gently. Cheng Mingran's body was trembling slightly. Hearing the thunder outside, Cheng Mingran trembled again. She looked extremely scared.

Cheng Mingran snuggled into his arms again, muttering something, but it was all out of fear.

"It has been raining continuously these past few days, and I'm afraid it will take several days to stop. You go to sleep first, and everything will be fine once you fall asleep. I'll stay here to guard you." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran looked up at Ji Lingzhou, her face full of pity: "Your Majesty, aren't you leaving?"

Ji Lingzhou shook his head gently: "I won't leave. Go to sleep. I will accompany you."

"Your Majesty has never said this before." Cheng Mingran didn't know where he got the courage from today to ask such a question.

"Isn't this good?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

Cheng Mingran shook her head: "No, it's just that I can't believe this is really happening. Your Majesty's current appearance is like a dream to me. I'm afraid that when I wake up from the dream, I will be doomed."

Ji Lingzhou sighed: "It's not a dream, don't worry, just do what you have to do, don't always think about it."

"But your majesty would not do these things in the past, nor would he talk to me like this. Your majesty..." Cheng Mingran looked down at him holding her hand: "I thought your majesty hated me and was unwilling to be with me."

Ji Lingzhou was slightly stunned, and his hand holding Cheng Mingran froze for a moment. Maybe he was like this before?

but……

Ji Lingzhou hugged her and said, "I don't hate you, I just don't know how to get along with you."

lie……

Cheng Mingran's eyes dimmed and she didn't respond.

"Okay, let's go to bed first. It's already very late." Ji Lingzhou said.

"Yeah," Cheng Mingran agreed, and then stopped talking.

Ji Lingzhou held the person in his arms without letting go. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it could be heard more clearly in the silent inner hall.

There might be thunder occasionally, but Cheng Mingran no longer had the fear she had just now. She quietly leaned in Ji Lingzhou's arms, thinking that she would not fall asleep so quickly, but when she felt sleepy, she really fell asleep without realizing it.

After noticing the even breathing of the little woman in his arms, Ji Lingzhou knew that she had fallen asleep. But he was puzzled. In the past, Cheng Mingran had never been afraid of rain or thunder. Why was she suddenly afraid of these things now?

Or maybe something happened in the cold palace? Ji Lingzhou was full of thoughts, but just when he was about to let her go, he found that Cheng Mingran's hand was still gently pulling his sleeve.

In fact, the force was not very strong, and as long as he wanted, he could easily break free. But... when he looked at Cheng Mingran like this, he felt that he had no strength left.

Everything that happened in his past life was still vivid in his mind. He originally thought that he only had a little bit of guilt left. But if that was really the case, why would he remember Cheng Mingran during the decades since she left?

After knowing that he had a second chance to live his life, he felt lost. He didn't even know why he had the chance to start over, let alone what the purpose and meaning of this new life was.

He couldn't possibly follow the same path as in his previous life again, could he? In fact, he had no regrets in his previous life. The only person he would remember vividly for the rest of his life seemed to be Cheng Mingran.

But...even he himself couldn't figure out why he could not forget such a person. Was it just because she blocked the sword?

He knew clearly from the beginning that even if Cheng Mingran was not there, he would not be hurt, so it didn't matter whether she blocked it or not.

Besides, why did she block the sword? Didn't she have any selfish motives? How could he not know Cheng Mingran's intentions? Even the sachet was the same. She was plotting against him until her death...

But why can't I forget her? Even my memory for the rest of my life is filled with her, and many of hers that I have never seen appear in my mind.

So did God give him a chance to start over because he wanted to change the fate of the Cheng family? Or was it her?

Ji Lingzhou looked down at her hand holding his robe, then his gaze fell on Cheng Mingran's face again: "What should I do with you?" He couldn't help feeling confused.

He would clear the Cheng family's name and restore their honor and favor, but what about Cheng Mingran? He didn't think he could give her anything. Ji Lingzhou knew what she wanted before, but... he couldn't and wouldn't give her this kind of love.

Moreover, Ji Lingzhou didn't feel that he had any special feelings for Cheng Mingran. Love between a man and a woman? He was the emperor, and he never believed in such illusory things, so he would never promise it to anyone.
