When the queen heard this, her expression became serious.

"Tell everyone below to be more alert recently. Don't make any mistakes and don't let anyone take advantage of them. If we don't catch the person, who knows where he might be hiding. If he finds a chance and does something, no one will be able to take responsibility if something goes wrong." said the queen.

"Yes, I understand." Although Qinghe has a bad temper, she is still very steady about these things. She also knows the seriousness of the matter.

"The eldest prince and the eldest princess have been very close recently?" the queen also asked.

Qing He thought about it carefully and finally nodded: "The princess has indeed been getting close to His Highness these days, and the Second Prince is also often by His Highness' side, and it seems that they have a very good relationship."

"It's a good thing for brothers to be friendly and respectful to each other, but hasn't Concubine Liang always been a recluse, and doesn't the eldest princess also not like to deal with people? What's wrong with them recently? Why are they all so active?" The queen hinted at something.

"Then what the queen means is..." Qinghe was puzzled.

"I didn't know there were so many talented people in the harem before." Chi Yue said lightly, but she didn't seem to have any plans to do anything.

Qinghe didn't dare to say anything more. It seemed that the Queen was becoming more and more unpredictable.

Ripple Palace

Cheng Mingran was now able to get out of bed, and with the help of Shuhua, she walked around the room for a while.

"His Majesty really thinks highly of the queen and actually bestowed such a character." Shuhua was also happy for his queen. Concubine Yuan Shu... This is a rare honor.

However, Cheng Mingran was not as happy as imagined. But she couldn't be said to be unhappy either. It's just that she has become calmer now.

Today, Li Sheng came in person to deliver the imperial edict. She was still lying on the bed when he delivered the edict. She wanted to come down to receive the edict, but before she came down, Li Sheng told her to just stay on the bed and listen.

This saying has never existed since ancient times. After all, she is not really unable to get out of bed. Ji Lingzhou... does not have too much airs of a king now, especially in front of herself.

"This word is somewhat unconventional." Cheng Mingran actually had some vague concerns that someone would use this word to make a fuss.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing. What's more, the Cheng family has just returned. If they are accused of new crimes, it will not end well.

"Your Majesty," the voice of a palace servant came from outside.

here we go again……

Cheng Mingran sighed silently in her heart, and then watched Ji Lingzhou come in from the door. She had just seen the figure, and she noticed the grinning smile on Ji Lingzhou's face. How could such a scene happen in the past? It happened now.

"Your Majesty," she called out.

"Why did you come down? Go back to bed and lie down. What if you get hurt?" Ji Lingzhou started lecturing as soon as he came up.

Cheng Mingran said helplessly: "I'm fine now, and the imperial physician also said that I can come down and walk around, which will help recover from my wounds." She also gave a special explanation.

When Ji Lingzhou heard the imperial physician say that it was okay and that it would also help heal the wound, he felt relieved and immediately changed his mind: "Okay, let's go for a walk, but don't get too tired."

"Yeah," Cheng Mingran responded.

Ji Lingzhou naturally replaced Shuhua's position and went to support Cheng Mingran: "Sit for a while, and don't stand for too long." He said.

Cheng Mingran did not refuse and let Ji Lingzhou help her to the side.

"Drink some water." Ji Lingzhou was very attentive. He immediately started pouring water and tested the water temperature.

Cheng Mingran picked up the cup and said, "I have already drunk several glasses of water today."

"Then don't drink it." Ji Lingzhou always looks silly now, often acting stupidly, but this is only when he is facing Cheng Mingran, like a big fool.

He took the teacup away and drank it all himself.

"Your Majesty," Cheng Mingran called him.

"Hmm?" Ji Lingzhou responded.

"What happened today..." Cheng Mingran hesitated to speak.

But Ji Lingzhou has developed his habit now, so he immediately understood what Cheng Mingran wanted to say.

"Ranran, do you want to ask about today's decree?" Ji Lingzhou asked proactively.

That’s quite sensible, Cheng Mingran nodded.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the word 'Yuan' may be a little inappropriate?" Cheng Mingran said tentatively.

Ji Lingzhou didn't care: "What's wrong with this? You paid with your life for the meritorious service in saving the emperor. Isn't a word of "Yuan" enough? Who whispered something in your ear?" Ji Lingzhou answered very clearly.

At first, some people in the court would object, but he didn't care at all. He just asked - my life was saved by Concubine Shu, do you think that my life is not worth this word?

With just this one sentence, the audience fell silent. Who would dare to say such a thing? So in the end, even if they were unwilling, they all agreed. Resistance was futile.

Cheng Mingran: “…” Okay, you are still the domineering one anyway.

"No one said anything, but I just felt something was wrong and was afraid that Your Majesty would be embarrassed." Cheng Mingran was telling the truth, but the main reason was that she was afraid that those people would embarrass her father...

"Who dares to embarrass me? It's enough as long as you don't make things difficult for me." Ji Lingzhou sounded quite matter-of-fact when he said this.

Cheng Mingran almost thought she had misheard. Was this what Ji Lingzhou said? When did he start to speak in a more biased way? He was so smooth-talking that he just said it subconsciously.

"I want to go out for a walk." Cheng Mingran didn't want to discuss this topic anymore.

"No," Ji Lingzhou refused righteously. When Mrs. Cheng Mingran heard this, she was stunned.

"Why..." Cheng Mingran asked.

"The snow outside has been melting these days. It's cold and the ground is very slippery. What are you going to do outside? What if you catch a cold or fall?" Ji Lingzhou looked at her disapprovingly.

As the saying goes, it's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when the snow melts. Now is the coldest time of the year. How could he let the weak Cheng Mingran go out alone?

"I'm not that fragile..." Cheng Mingran had indeed been holding it in for a long time.

"That's not possible. What if you catch a cold? Hold on for a few more days. When you're completely fine, I'll take you out." Ji Lingzhou coaxed her.

Cheng Mingran: "..." Why are you a little angry?

"Be good, when you're better, I'll take you out of the palace." Ji Lingzhou said.

Leaving the palace...
