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

These scars...

Ji Lingzhou's gaze was not concealed at all, so Cheng Mingran naturally noticed his gaze easily, because she knew what her body looked like.

Cheng Mingran pursed her lips slightly, not daring to delay, and directly put on the dress next to her and knelt down: "Your Majesty."

Ji Lingzhou came back to his senses instantly because of her action. He stepped forward and helped the person up: "Why are you kneeling down suddenly again?" There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice that he didn't even notice.

Cheng Mingran felt uneasy as he held her in his arms.

Ji Lingzhou picked up the person by the dress wrapped around her body. The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Cheng Mingran scream out subconsciously.

But Ji Lingzhou's embrace was still quite firm, he carried the person and walked out. Cheng Mingran called out softly: "Your Majesty..."

But Ji Lingzhou seemed not to have heard it. He carried the person straight to the bedroom. Cheng Mingran's heart seemed like it would burst out of her chest at any moment.

Ji Lingzhou put her on the bed, then reached out and used the clothes wrapped around her to wipe all the water stains on Cheng Mingran's body.

"Is it cold?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran shook her head. The charcoal fire in the palace was still plenty hot, so it wasn't very cold. But because she had just taken a shower, she still felt a little chilly.

Ji Lingzhou took off her wet clothes, Cheng Mingran was startled, she was a little flustered and tried to cover herself, but Ji Lingzhou took the quilt next to her and covered her with it before she could.

"Your hair is a little wet. Can I help you wipe it?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran shook her head. What happened to Ji Lingzhou? Why was he so abnormal?

However, Ji Lingzhou didn't care about her answer at all. He directly took the handkerchief and helped her wipe the hair that was accidentally wet.

Cheng Mingran was very quiet and didn't dare to say a word the whole time. Ji Lingzhou didn't say anything either, just focused on helping her wipe her hair. Because it wasn't very wet, it didn't take long to dry.

Ji Lingzhou threw the things aside: "Bring the ginger soup over here." he shouted.

As soon as Ji Lingzhou finished speaking, the palace servants outside brought in the ginger soup. Cheng Mingran looked at what the palace servants brought over: "Haven't we already drunk it once today?" she asked.

Ji Lingzhou took the bowl of ginger soup and said, "You have to drink it even if you've already drunk it. Aren't you going to the Dali Temple tomorrow? Drink more to prevent yourself from catching a cold."

Ok……

Cheng Mingran had no room for rebuttal, so she took the thing obediently. Because the ginger soup was very thick, it tasted a little spicy, and Cheng Mingran frowned as he drank it.

"Don't you like the taste?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"It's a little spicy." Cheng Mingran said truthfully.

"Cook it thicker and be patient for a while. It's much better than catching a cold and taking medicine later." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran didn't respond, but just put the finished bowl back.

Ji Lingzhou looked at the palace maid and said, "Go get a set of dry clothes."

The maid agreed and then took her leave.

Ji Lingzhou looked at Cheng Mingran and said, "Let go of your hands."

Cheng Mingran's face changed, and her hands were now tightly grasping the quilt, fearing that she would be exposed. You know, she was naked under the quilt.

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Mingran still wanted to refuse.

But Ji Lingzhou no longer had that much patience. He simply reached out and covered Cheng Mingran's hand and then gently pulled it apart. Cheng Mingran didn't dare to really go against his wishes, so she didn't resist much.

She let go of her hand, and Ji Lingzhou pulled the quilt open, but because he was concerned about Cheng Mingran's feelings, he did not pull it all off, only revealing a part of it.

Ji Lingzhou looked at the wounds on her body: "How did you get it?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran knew what he was asking. After a long pause, she replied, "Which place are you asking about, Your Majesty?"

That place? Doesn't that mean that these injuries were not left at the same time? Yes, Ji Lingzhou could actually tell that the wounds on her back were of different ages, and some were even covered with scabs.

Most of them were whip marks, some were unclear, and there were even quite a few bruises.

"On the second day after I entered the cold palace, Concubine De... Concubine Yu went to the cold palace and had someone whip me. I couldn't count how many times." Cheng Mingran said.

Since he wanted to ask, how could she conceal it on purpose? If he wanted to know, she would tell him clearly. She also wanted Ji Lingzhou to know what kind of life she had lived in the cold palace for those few months.

"There were too many guests in the cold palace, and many of the injuries on my body were left at that time. Because there was no imperial physician in the cold palace, these scars were not removed."

"I have a burn on my back. The cold palace was very cold. That was the first time I made a fire in the cold palace. Later, Qian Zhaoyi came over and said she came to see me, but she accidentally pushed me into the fire. The wound on my back was left from that time." Cheng Mingran said.

Ji Lingzhou paused for a moment as his hand rested on the burn on his back. His entire lower back was covered in a large area of ​​burns...

"You..." Ji Lingzhou wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Cheng Mingran's eyes were bitter. In fact, in the end, she still had some resentment towards him in her heart...

"Does it still hurt?" Ji Lingzhou gently stroked the scar on her back.

"It doesn't hurt now. But it hurt a lot at that time... But no matter how much pain I feel, no one will let me go, so I know that crying out in pain is actually useless." Cheng Mingran replied.

Ji Lingzhou felt a lump in his throat.

"These scars... I will ask the imperial physician to help you remove them." Ji Lingzhou thought for a long time before coming up with these words.

But Cheng Mingran shook her head: "Don't bother, it doesn't really matter whether you remove it or not. I don't care about it now. What's more, only by keeping these scars can I always remind myself to be more sensible and avoid making mistakes again."

"Are you speaking in anger?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"I didn't say that out of anger. I just don't want to make another mistake and suffer." Cheng Mingran said.

"You used to love beauty the most." Ji Lingzhou said.

"Your Majesty also said that it was in the past. I am different now. I didn't know anything before. I was just a spoiled little girl, so I committed such a heinous crime. Now I have grown up." Cheng Mingran said again.

"Growing up? It's only a few months. You can still be the same as before. Besides, what happened in the past...it wasn't your fault." Ji Lingzhou said.

"A few months is enough. And has Your Majesty forgotten? Those things that happened in the past... everyone thought it was my fault." Cheng Mingran smiled lightly, her face full of sadness.

Now you say it's not your fault? But at that time everyone said it was her fault...
