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

Finally getting a breath, Cheng Mingran's hands trembled slightly. She tried to get up without saying a word but was slapped again.

"What I hate to see most is your current state. You are already struggling to survive like this, yet you still think you are noble. Do you think you are still the arrogant Concubine Shu who has the support of your family and the Queen Mother? Now you are just an abandoned woman in the cold palace, the daughter of a guilty minister! Even now, can't you see your own situation clearly?" The virtuous concubine wanted to destroy her arrogance bit by bit.

Everyone knows that the daughter of the Cheng family grew up in the palace, knows etiquette, and knows how to advance and retreat. Her every move, every frown and every smile are the model of noble ladies in the capital. Not only that, she is the daughter of a powerful official, and is a noble lady raised by the queen mother as if she were her own daughter.

When Cheng Mingran entered the palace, she was the envy of everyone. Everyone thought she would rise rapidly to the top. After all, she was the girl raised by the empress dowager since she was a child, and she grew up with His Majesty and they were childhood sweethearts.

However... things did not go as planned. His Majesty treated her very coldly. Her enthusiasm was met with a series of cold water. Gradually, everyone knew that His Majesty did not like her...

Thinking of this, Cheng Mingran couldn't help feeling lonely. Young and stunning, her deep love could not withstand the loneliness in the deep palace and the emperor's indifference. If she had known this would happen, maybe she wouldn't insist on making this decision. She still remembered her aunt once asked her: "Ranran, have you thought it through? If you make a decision, you may not have the chance to regret it."

At that time she replied: "I have made up my mind to be with you for the rest of my life, and I will never let you down. I hope you can help Ranran. Ranran will only love Brother Lingzhou in her life, and she will not marry anyone else but you!"

It turns out that everything was destined from the very beginning, Cheng Mingran couldn't help but laugh at herself. Unfortunately, in this life, she might not be able to wait until the moment when Ji Lingzhou saw her.

The virtuous concubine was satisfied only when she saw the sadness on Cheng Mingran's face. The more miserable she was, the happier she was. Only after seeing her humble side could she temporarily dispel her hatred.

Seeing the well not far away, Concubine Xian came up with a plan. She walked to the well, with a water tank full of water beside her. There was no one else in the cold palace except Cheng Mingran, not even a maid, and she had to do everything herself. During these days in the cold palace, Cheng Mingran also suffered a lot.

The palace maids behind her immediately understood what Concubine Xian meant, and they dragged Cheng Mingran up from the ground. Concubine Xian lifted her chin and said jokingly, "Tsk, look at your face, how swollen it is? But you don't have to serve His Majesty anymore, so there's no point in keeping this good face, so what if it's broken? I don't believe His Majesty will punish me because of you."

After she finished speaking, Concubine Xian gave the palace maid a look, and the next moment the palace maid who was holding Cheng Mingran grabbed her hair and pushed her into the ice-cold water.

"Hmm." She tried hard to break free, but how could she possibly defeat these people with her little strength? The severe pain from her scalp and the endless feeling of suffocation made her feel panic in her heart.

Water continued to pour into her mouth and nose, making it difficult for her to breathe. Cheng Mingran struggled in the water but was unable to break free.

And every time when she was about to give up, that person would pull her back, and this cycle would repeat over and over again, and she slowly began to lose strength.

Because she couldn't breathe, she felt her chest was constantly being squeezed and her heartbeat began to accelerate, but every beat of her heart made her clearly feel that her life was slipping away bit by bit.

Her body became heavier and heavier, as if she was unable to move due to the pressure of the water. She was completely immersed in an endless darkness, and her consciousness became increasingly blurred. Gradually, she began to give up resistance. In fact, it would be a good thing if everything could end like this...

The towering palace walls isolate the palace from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, leaving only the bleak autumn wind echoing in the palace. The surroundings are silent and desolate, with fallen leaves piled up in the corners.

Cheng Mingran stopped struggling. Perhaps sensing something was wrong with her, the palace servants behind her pulled her hair, and before she fainted, the door to the cold palace was opened.

"What are you doing!" Ji Lingzhou's voice rang out, and the atmosphere in the cold palace instantly froze.

Ji Lingzhou had just come in when he saw Cheng Mingran being held in the water, almost fainting. His heart sank slightly, and then, in the surprised and shocked eyes of everyone, he strode towards Cheng Mingran.

Cheng Mingran could no longer hold on. Her ears were buzzing and she could not hear anything from the outside world. She could only vaguely see a blurry figure coming towards her. Her body softened and before she completely passed out, she felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless place. It was pitch black all around her. She kept falling but could not see the bottom.

Ji Lingzhou hugged her before she fell, but Cheng Mingran had already fainted. The palace servants were at a loss the moment they saw Ji Lingzhou coming, and naturally they didn't care about Cheng Mingran's life or death. If Ji Lingzhou hadn't acted quickly enough, Cheng Mingran would have fallen to the ground.

Concubine Xian did not expect that His Majesty would come over suddenly and react so strongly: "Your Majesty... I greet Your Majesty." There was some panic in Concubine Xian's tone.

Ji Lingzhou's eyes were sharp: "Who gave you the courage, who gave you the power!" Even though he lowered his voice, the anger in his tone could not be concealed.

Concubine Xian was so frightened that she immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

Ji Lingzhou ignored it. He looked at the woman in his arms, as if she were in another world...

He even couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. He suddenly felt dazed, as if he had returned to the past life when she blocked a sword in front of him, lying weakly in his arms.

Cheng Mingran's body was cold and soaking wet. Not only that, her face was red and swollen, and even the corners of her mouth were oozing with blood. Her hands were even more horrible, bloody and mangled.

"Call the imperial physician!" Ji Lingzhou picked the man up by the waist and didn't even have time to deal with the virtuous concubine who was kneeling on the ground.

When watching Ji Lingzhou carrying the person away with a nervous look on his face, Concubine Xian sat back. Why did His Majesty come here suddenly? Why did he look so nervous about Cheng Mingran just now?

The palace maids around the "Empress" immediately stepped forward to support her.

Xian Fei stood up with the help of the palace maid: "Why did His Majesty come here suddenly? He never cares about such things."

"Don't think too much, Your Majesty. The Cheng family is gone. His Majesty will not punish You for the daughter of a guilty minister." said the palace maid.

No one expected His Majesty to come here suddenly today, but since it has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, so they can only comfort themselves in this way. But Concubine Xian was very uneasy, she always felt that His Majesty's eyes just now were really angry...
