Ji Dynasty.
After leaving the study room, Wen Xu was so furious that she couldn't even breathe properly.
"That bitch! She... how dare she behave this way with me? She is thinking that now she has?the power to manage the harem, she can do anything?"
" She has forgotten that I am the Empress Dowager, my position is still higher than hers." Wen Xu stood outside the palace in the garden as she said with burning rage in her heart.
Xiao Li pursed her lips and said in a low voice, " Mother, but for three months even you can't do anything to Sister Zhao Ming, since your powers have been suspended as well because of the red letter."
" Sister is doing all this because we can't do anything to her during the period of suspension." Xiao Li held her head down as she tried to hide her emotions.
Her voice was quivering but she was hiding her gaze to not let Wen Xu see the hatred in her eyes.
Since both of them received the red letter, their powers and duties of the palace were suspended for three months, which means they cannot exercise their powers in these three months nor they won't be able to receive their income.
Wen Xu pursed her lips when she realized this fact. She clenched her fist tightly and said, " I will talk to Ji Cheng. I can't let him take this decision because of that bitch's provocation. I am going to his chamber to talk to him." Wen Xu turned around and walked towards the palace again.
Xiao Li's expressions brightened up when she heard Wen Xu's words. She hurriedly followed Wen Xu back to the palace.
.....
After chatting for a while, Jia Shi and Xue Lang left the study room.
Zhao Ming looked around and didn't go back to her chamber and decided to look around the study.
She stood up and walked to the study table. There were many books and documents placed on the table.
She wanted to see through the documents but stopped herself as it's not right. If these documents were important and she misplaced something, then she could get into big trouble.
" What are you doing?"
When she was wondering whether to read the documents or not, she jumped in horror when Ji Cheng came out of nowhere and spoke in her ear in a low voice.
His low and deep voice sent shivers to her body.
She abruptly turned to face him and her nose brushed by his nose accidentally.
" I am..." she stepped back and was about to say sorry when he suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.
She gasped when he suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. She could see the burning gaze in his eyes, his gaze sent shivers to her body.
" Your Majesty... what are.." her words stuck in her throat when she saw him leaning towards her. She swallowed involuntarily knowing what was coming next.
She hesitantly closed her eyes which made Ji Cheng's lips curled up in satisfaction seeing her reaction.
He leaned closer to taste sweet lips but before he could do so, he heard Feng Ju's voice.
" Your Majesty, Empress Dowager and..." Feng Ju stopped talking the moment he saw what was happening in the room.
He came to inform Ji Cheng about the Empress Dowager but the moment he came to the study room, he was shocked Ji Cheng held Zhao Ming so closely.
His body trembled in fear realizing that it was the second time that he interrupted them.
Zhao Ming, who had her eyes closed, jumped in horror when she heard Feng Ju's voice. She immediately wriggles out of Ji Cheng's grasp and picked some random book on the table to read.
Ji Cheng: "-_-"
Feng Ju: "-_-"
Ji Cheng and Feng Ju were both speechless seeing Zhao Ming's reaction.
Ji Cheng took a deep breath and turned to Feng Ju while glaring at him with an indescribable gaze.
" Feng Ju, you must have some important work that you had to disturb me like this, right?" Ji Cheng said while gritting his teeth.
Feng Ju pursed his lips understanding the meaning of Ji Cheng's words.
It was clear that Ji Cheng won't leave him if the reason he came was not important enough.
" Erm.. Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Consort Xiao Li visited your chamber to meet you but I didn't let him enter the chamber since you were not there. I asked them to wait for a while." Feng Ju explained politely why he came here.
" So?" Ji Cheng pulled the chair and sat on it.
Zhao Ming turned around when he heard Feng Ju's words.
She understood the reason behind why they must have visited Ji Cheng. It's all because of the harem meeting.
But she has to acknowledge that they were extremely fast. The meeting just ended a while ago and they already started to search for Ji Cheng.
Feng Ju was baffled when he heard Ji Cheng's response.
" Your Majesty, then what should I tell them? They are waiting outside your chamber?"
" Tell them I am busy. And if they have something to say, then give it to me in writing. I am busy so I can't meet them at this moment."
Zhao Ming and Feng Ju were stunned when they heard his words. He wanted his mother to write him an official letter to him if she has something important?
Feng Ju was baffled and asked, " Your Majesty, you want me to tell Empress Dowager to write?you the official letter if there is anything important?"
" You want me to repeat my words?" He asked in a deep voice.
Feng Ju trembled and shook his head.
" Then I will go and relay your message." Feng Ju bowed to him and Zhao Ming?and left them alone.
Zhao Ming was still in a daze and asked, " Ji Cheng, you're not going to meet them? You know that they wanted to ask you about the red letter and their budget cut."
Ji Cheng nodded and said, " Yes. I know what they wanted to talk about, that's why I don't want to meet them. Because there is no meaning in that since I am not going to take back my order."
His gaze was firm and confident as he looked at Zhao Ming.
