Cheng Mingran didn't care. As long as the goal was achieved, it was fine. Yupin had come this far, and it was almost the same. Could she return to her previous position? After what happened today, she had a lot to endure.

As soon as Ji Lingzhou came out of the court, he heard Li Shenglai telling him what happened when he paid his respects to the Fengqi Palace today.

"Caning?" Ji Lingzhou also asked when he heard this.

"It was the Empress Shufei who gave the order herself. She originally said that it would be transferred to the Dali Temple, and the Empress did not say anything." Li Sheng said.

Ji Lingzhou sat down in his seat: "She would never do such extreme things before, even when she was willful, she would not do this."

When Li Sheng heard this, he was a little unsure of what his Majesty meant. Did he think that Concubine Shu was too cruel?

"Then Your Majesty..." Li Sheng didn't dare to speculate now.

"She was wronged before, and anyone could take advantage of her. I think someone else provoked her today. Although she won't take the initiative to cause trouble, she is not someone who can be bullied. It is reasonable for her to do this. I was worried that she would keep swallowing her anger because of what happened before, but now I see that I was really worrying too much."

"But this is a good thing. It's good that she can protect herself and not suffer any grievances." Ji Lingzhou said in a relaxed tone, and he didn't seem to be angry at all.

Li Sheng: "..." It seems that I was overthinking just now. He thought that His Majesty would think that Concubine Shu was too cruel this time.

"Pass on my order," Ji Lingzhou suddenly said.

Li Sheng quickly bowed and said: "Your servant is here"

"Concubine Yu made rude remarks. She is under house arrest for half a year and is required to copy the palace rules fifty times every day." Ji Lingzhou said this decisively. This indirectly proved that she was on Cheng Mingran's side today and prevented many people with ulterior motives from continuing to make trouble on this matter.

When Li Sheng heard this decree, he sighed in his heart. The harem had really changed completely. I was afraid that it would not be long before there would be a complete blood transfusion, right?

"Yes." Li Sheng stepped down and went to convey the order in person.

When the people in the harem heard this decree, their faces were completely changed. Isn't it obvious that His Majesty wants to support Cheng Mingran?

Anyone can see that Cheng Mingran was deliberately using Yupin to establish her authority today, otherwise how could such serious consequences be caused? She was dealt with in front of the entire harem, and Yupin was so arrogant, how could she face people in the future?

But when His Majesty heard this, he not only did not blame Concubine Shu, but instead punished Concubine Yu. His Majesty's decree had come down, which proved that Concubine Yu was indeed guilty, which stopped those who were about to smear Cheng Ming in front of His Majesty.

Today they were still speculating whether Cheng Mingran would be punished if His Majesty knew about this matter, and the result was this?

Because today in Fengqi Palace, Cheng Mingran obviously did not want this matter to be brought to His Majesty, and they thought that Cheng Mingran did not dare to come.

Fengqi Palace

"Your Majesty really protects Concubine Shu." Qinghe rubbed the Queen's shoulders.

Chi Yue closed her eyes and said, "It's not surprising. Isn't it that everyone has seen how much His Majesty dotes on Concubine Shu these days?"

Qing He was indignant: "But today, Concubine Shu dealt with Yupin in front of Liang Ning without even asking the Majesty's permission. Does she still care about you, the Majesty?"

"Don't you know what kind of personality she has? And now that His Majesty dotes on her, she has the qualifications." Chi Yue said in a light tone, not taking these things to heart at all.

Qing He wanted to say something, but seeing her queen's unwillingness, she said nothing. When the queen first entered the palace, she was very concerned about His Majesty, but after not long, the queen seemed to no longer care about His Majesty.

Apart from official business, she rarely took the initiative to please His Majesty. Moreover, Her Majesty was not close to anyone, as if everyone except His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had nothing to do with her. Apart from handling trivial matters in the palace every day, Her Majesty had never been seen to take care of other trivial matters.

"It will be the end of the year in half a month, and all the affairs of the palaces have been arranged. I have been feeling unwell recently, so you should keep a close eye on me and make sure no one takes advantage of me." The queen instructed calmly.

"Yes" Qinghe said helplessly.

The New Year is coming, and it’s time for old friends to come back...

Hall of Qinzheng

"Your Majesty, Commander Han requests to see you." Li Sheng came in from outside to report.

When Ji Lingzhou heard the name, his eyebrows raised slightly. Coming?

"Let him in, and everyone else please leave." Ji Lingzhou ordered in a calm voice.

Li Sheng went out to invite the person in. Han Wen knelt down as soon as he came in: "Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you!"

"Why did Commander Han suddenly come to see me today? Do you have something to report?" Ji Lingzhou asked calmly.

Unexpectedly, when Han Wen heard this, he kowtowed and shouted: "I am ashamed of your majesty's trust! I came here today to apologize to your majesty." He was very direct.

Ji Lingzhou was not surprised at all, after all, he was like this in his previous life. (Han Wen, Pointing the Way, Chapter 4)

"Oh?" Ji Lingzhou pretended to be confused, and then asked: "What crime did Commander Han ask for?"

"Your humble servant..." Han Wen was still a little hesitant when he said this, because he was not sure whether Ji Lingzhou would believe what he said.

But even if he was unsure, what could he do? He had no other choice. Was he really going to join the rebels?

"Your Majesty, I received a letter from Prince Jin'an a few days ago." When Han Wen said this, he took out a stack of letters from his arms.

Ji Lingzhou signaled Li Sheng to bring the things up. Li Sheng didn't know about this matter at first, but after hearing Han Wen say this, he had some vague guesses in his mind.

However... he was horrified in his heart. Was the King of Jin'an too bold?

"Your Majesty," he handed the thing to Ji Lingzhou.

Ji Lingzhou looked through the letters, and even the contents were exactly the same as in his previous life. His face was solemn, of course, he was definitely pretending.

He looked at Han Wen below and his tone became cold: "Commander Han, what are you doing? And these letters, how do you prove that they were given to you by King Jin'an?" He did it on purpose.

"Your Majesty, even if I have the courage of heaven, I would not dare to joke about such a thing. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to verify it." Han Wen is also an honest man.

Ji Lingzhou put all the letters in his hand on the table.
