novelSomething Is Fishy About Zhao Mings Suicide Attempt
| ← Ch.472 | Ch.474 → |
Ji Cheng held onto Zhao Ming's hand and took her to his chamber while holding her hands.
Lu shi was also surprised when Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming came out of the study room while holding hands together.
She smiled seeing the chemistry between them and chose to leave them alone.
...
" Zhao Ming, you won't feel uncomfortable in any way if you stay here. The room is much bigger than yours and the bathroom is also more luxurious than yours. Also I will tell Feng Ju to..." Ji Cheng was holding her hand and telling her the benefits of staying at the main palace.
" Ji Cheng."
.....
Just as they reached in front of his chamber, two figures were standing in front of them with their mouths open in shock.
Wen Xu was furious when Feng Ju told her that Ji Cheng is busy and if she has something important to talk about, then she can write the official letter to him.
She cannot believe that now she has to write an official letter to talk to her own son?
She was shouting at Feng Ju and was trying to know where Ji Cheng is while Xiao Li was trying to calm her down.
Amidst all the chaos, suddenly Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming came from behind while holding each other's hands tightly and chatting happily.
Wen Xu looked at Ji Cheng who was in his own world and felt her blood boiling.
So he was busy with her?
She gritted her teeth and called out to him.
.....
" Ji Cheng." Her voice was deep and cold.
Xiao Li was shocked when she saw Ji Cheng holding Zhao Ming's hand tightly.
Zhao Ming was surprised and tried to pull her hand from his grasp, but he not only left her but also tightened his grasp on her hand.
She had no option but to stand there while holding his hand. She noticed the death glare that Wen Xu was giving her. She simply blinked her eyes innocently and didn't say anything.
This made Wen Xu more furious.
" Why are you guys still here? Didn't I tell you to write to me if you have something important? I am busy, so please leave."
Wen Xu gritted her teeth and said, " Ji Cheng, what kind of attitude is this? I am your mother. Do I have to write an official letter just to talk to my son?"
" Emperor. Please don't forget that I am an Emperor as well. So please keep the formalities in mind while addressing me."
Wen Xu's face fell when she heard the cold words from Ji Cheng's mouth. He was telling her to call him Emperor?
" Ji Cheng! If you're the Emperor then I am the Empress Dowager as well. How can you suspend me? You're giving me this red letter? For what reason? Even if you're the Emperor, how can you abuse your power like this?"
" You're doing all this just because of this bitch right? She must have provocated you to take such actions against me."
Zhao Ming raised her brows and sighed. Some people cannot be changed.
" Your Majesty, you can punish me all you want. But please don't do this to mother. She is your mother after all. How can you give this warning letter to Empress Dowager" Xiao Li chimed in as she spoke up for Wen Xu.
Ji Cheng looked at Xiao Li coldly and said, " Consort Xiao Li, I don't need your advice on my affairs. It was the order that I have passed for certain reasons and this letter is absolutely necessary. You both should be glad that I didn't throw you out of the palace right away. Because the deeds you both have done, can make you send out of the palace right away."
Zhao Ming was surprised when she heard Ji Cheng's direct words. She looked at him in shock and realized that he looked more attractive when he was being ruthless.... to others.
" What did you say? You want to throw us out of the palace? The Empress Dowager? " Wen Xu stared at Ji Cheng in disbelief.
" What did we do exactly that you're behaving like this? You didn't even state the reason for the suspension clearly in the letter. What does it mean by unexplainable reasons or inappropriate use of powers?"
" How can you give the red letter without any appropriate reasons?" Wen Xu shouted as she glared at Zhao Ming from the side eye.
Zhao Ming: "-_-"
" Yes, Your Majesty. At least please tell me what's wrong. We don't even know why we are being suspended?" Xiao Li asked in a choked voice.
" Hah" Ji Cheng chuckled and said, " You really want to know the reason? Xiao Li, do you remember the night when Zhao Ming tried to take her life by jumping into the pond? You remember that night, right?"
Xiao Li's body stiffened upon hearing Ji Cheng's question. Her palms started to sweat profusely.
Zhao Ming frowned and looked at Ji Cheng in puzzle. She doesn't have much information about Zhao Ming's death but she has heard from Lu Shi that Zhao Ming knows swimming then how could she have died from drowning?
Even if she wanted to suicide but since she knows swimming her body would have made attempts to save herself reflexively.
So there is no no chance that she would have died from drowning.
But she went into a coma from only drowning in a pond? That too without any serious injury? How is this possible?
Xie Ming has no medical knowledge but it was the common sense because of which she thinks that something is fishy about Zhao Ming's suicide attempt.
At first she wasn't interested in all this drama but it seems like something is not right. Why was Ji Cheng asking Xiao Li such a question?
" Ji Cheng, why are you asking this question to Xiao Li? She is the one who attempted suicide attempt out of guilt. It was her who should be punished for cheating on you and getting tangled with some bastard." Wen Xu snorted and shouted while pointing at Zhao Ming.
" EMPRESS DOWAGER"
Ji Cheng shouted in anger as his eyes turned red and clenched his hands tightly.
Zhao Ming frowned upon hearing Wen Xu's words. Since she has come to this world, she has heard people gossiping about her, calling her slut or bitch. But she thought that they were all jealous of her and it's their gossipy attitude that cannot be fixed.
She tried to ask Lu Shi many times that was there? something that happened before because of it she attempted to take her life? But no one said anything.
Hearing Wen Xu's words, she realised that there is something big that she wasn't aware of.
