Xiao Li's lips twitched when she heard Zhao Ming's question.
" What... What are you trying to say, Sister Zhao Ming? When did I take extra money from you?" Xiao Li stuttered as she said her words.
Zhao Ming smirked as she looked at Xiao Li stuttering.
Wen Xu frowned seeing the mocking smile on Zhao Ming's face.
" Xiao Li, why are you trying to explain things to this bi*ch? Even if you have taken some extra money, it's okay. After all, your father has contributed so much in making Ji Cheng's reign stronger."
" You're my dear daughter in law and everything in this palace is yours." Wen Xu rubbed Xiao Li's hair lovingly as she said.
" There is nothing wrong in taking what is yours." Wen Xu sweetly said to Xiao Li.
Zhao Ming was dumbfounded seeing Wen Xu's over protectiveness.
' Hah. Then your life also belongs to your' dear daughter in law'. Why don't you die for her sake as well? ' Zhao Ming mocked inwardly as she felt like puking seeing their display of affection.
Xiao Li calmed down as she listened to Wen Xu's words.
" Your highness?"
The maid who was standing at the door of the Chamber was startled when she saw Ji Cheng standing there.
Hearing the squeal of the maid, everyone turned to look towards the entrance and was startled to see Ji Cheng standing there.
Wen Xu frowned when she saw his darkened expressions.
Ji Cheng's gaze was fixated on Zhao Ming as he walked towards her.
Xiao Li and Wen Xu were feeling nervous because they didn't know since how long he was standing there.
" Ji Cheng, when did you arrive?"
"Why has no one announced his arrival?" Wen Xu shouted towards the maid as she was furious that no one informed her that Ji Cheng had arrived.
" I have stopped them from doing so." Ji Cheng said curtly as he glanced at Wen Xu with his cold gaze.
Wen Xu felt chill going through her spine seeing his chilly gaze.
Ji Cheng was standing outside the chamber for a while and was listening to their conversation.
He didn't go in because he wanted to see to what extent his mother can go behind his back.
Wen Xu has asked him to come to her chamber but she asked him to come later while she called Zhao Ming earlier. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣noνℯ𝘭 - 🅽🅽novel
However, Ji Cheng reached the orchid pavilion early and found out that Zhao Ming was already there.
He stopped the maid who was going to announce his arrival and stood in front of the chamber hearing their conversation.
.....
" Why did you come early?" Ji Cheng didn't even greet Wen Xu and asked Zhao Ming a question.
Zhao Ming was caught off guard as she was not expecting him to talk to her at this moment.
" Ahmm... Empress Dowager sent someone to look for me. That's why I came earlier."
Ji Cheng's expressions darkened when he heard Zhao Ming's words.
Wen Xu pursed her lips as her mood turned sour.
" Ji Cheng, what's the meaning of your behavior? " Wen Xu shouted as she glared at him.
" What mother? " Ji Cheng's tone was casual and slightly annoyed.
Wen Xu's jaw tightened as she said angrily, " You didn't even greet me when you came. How can you ignore your mother and go to this bi*ch? Is this how an Emperor should behave?"
Wen Xu was angered to death when she saw Ji Cheng going to Zhao Ming and ignoring her existence.
Xiao Li on the side was getting nervous seeing Wen Xu shouting. She was worried that Ji Cheng might have heard everything they said earlier.
Since Wen Xu was not in the palace for a few days, she has seen how protective JI Cheng has become towards Zhao Ming.
" Hmm. You're right. As an Emperor I should keep my manners and greet the Empress Dowager whenever I see." Ji Cheng said as he looked at Wen Xu with a straight face.
Wen Xu was pleased hearing his words.
" It's okay. As your mother..." She was going to say that she will forgive him because she knows that her son respects her so much and might have forgotten to greet her for a moment.
Before Wen Xu could complete her words, Ji Cheng interrupted her as he continued, " But I think Empress Dowager needs to learn about royal manners first."
Wen Xu's expressions turned stiffened when she heard his words.
" What do you mean by this?"
" Mother, why did you call Zhao Ming earlier?" he asked in an authoritative tone.
" What's wrong with me calling her earlier? "
" You really don't think you're wrong right?" Ji Cheng's voice turned colder and colder by every word.
Even Zhao Ming was surprised seeing his cold attitude towards Wen Xu. He didn't even talk to Wen Xu this way when she barged into their room.
" I gave Zhao Ming the powers because it was hers from the start. If the Empress of the Ji Dynasty had no power then how will everyone look at us? What is the meaning of the Royal title then?"
" Mother, Zhao Ming is the woman I love. I have said many times to you, to not touch her and leave her alone, but you never considered my words seriously."
" I respected you as my mother, that's why I ignored all your evil deeds that you did behind my back. But don't think that I don't know anything about what's happening in the palace behind my back."
" His highness, Mother didn't mean... " Xiao Li was scared seeing Ji Cheng's dangerous aura. She tried to defend Wen Xu but Ji Cheng interrupted her.
" I am talking to my mother so stay out of this." he roared at Xiao Li as he asked her to shut up.
Xiao Li was dumbfounded when Ji Cheng shouted at her. Even though he never talk to her gently but he never shouted at her either
It was the first time that he had shouted at her. Even her own father never talked to he r like this..
" Ji Cheng, how can you shout at Xiao Li like this? When did you become so crude?" Wen Xu got worried when Ji Cheng shouted at Xiao Li.
It was the first time Ji Cheng had raised his voice like this.
Zhao Ming was surprised as well seeing Ji Cheng behaving like this. She looked at him from the side in daze.
Right now he was looking exactly like he did when he fought with Yu Kang at the Royal Brush pavilion.
