On the other hand, the Empress Dowager was watching the scene in front of her silently. When she heard that Zhao Ming woke up, she was angry and irritated. She wanted to make Xiao Li the Empress but she never thought that she will wake up at this time.
After Xiao Li left, she was anxious and annoyed that Xiao Li didn't get the title of Empress. While she was thinking about this, she got more irritated.
At that time, one of her maids came running to her saying that Xiao Li met with Zhao Ming in the garden. She was worried that Xiao Li will get bullied by Zhao Ming.
Because in front of Wen Xiao, Xiao Li has pretended to be weak and frail. As she has created the image of Zhao Ming in front of her as sly and manipulative, so it's natural for her to think this.
.... . ##
When Wen Xiao arrived in the garden with her two servants, she saw Xiao Li from far away. So she increased her pace, because she thought she was being bullied by her and the servant of Zhao Ming and Xiao Li was standing far away from them.
'Zhao Ming has instructed them to do so. ' she thought.
But when she came near, she heard Zhao Ming's words which were filled with sadness and pain. Her face was weak and she was looking vulnerable compared to Xiao Li who was looking bright and wearing a cold and distant expression.
In reality, Xiao Li was standing there in confusion and staring at Ming blankly, unaware of Zhao Ming's tricks.
When Wen Xiao heard those words, in which Zhao Ming has said that she treated her like her mother, she felt bad for her. She knows that she has lost her mother when she was young. She never had issues with her, it just it was her greed for power and she liked Xiao Li over Zhao Ming for Ji Cheng.
Her heart softened hearing her words, earlier she was going to scold her but now she does not have the heart to do so. In the past, Zhao Ming wasn't much expressive, she was polite but she was afraid to show her love as this can look impolite. That's also a reason, Wen Xiao doesn't like her.
Zhao Ming was looking very weak, if not held, she may fall at any minute.
So she went closer to them, and said, " Okay, stop it. Zhao Ming, you need to apologize to Ji Cheng for whatever happened not Xiao Li. It has nothing to do with Xiao Li. And... You don't need to apologize for waking up from the coma. It's nothing to apologize for." she said with a cold tone, she tried to look away from the Zhao Ming's piercing gaze.
When Xiao found Zhao Ming staring at her blankly and without even blinking her eyes. Zhao Ming has never looked at her like this.
Previously, she was well mannered and polite but she not the clingy type so she never tried to butter up her and as she also did not like her, so their relationship is nothing more than exchanging greetings and formalities.
....
When Zhao Ming was putting on her weak act, she heard the Empress Dowager's voice, which was cold and aloof. But for some reason, this voice seems familiar to her. She didn't turn around to her side to look at her at that moment. She stood there in a daze.
She was confused, not believing, if what she was thinking was true or not?
She slowly turned around, trying to stable her trembling body. When she turned around and saw the face of Empress Dowager clearly, she felt the chill going through her spine.
Her body stiffened, she was staring at the Empress Dowager blankly and confusingly. She was not able to grasp the situation, that was unfolding in front of her.
When she first saw the Empress coming, she hasn't seen her face. She has seen her vaguely from her side-eyed that someone was coming. And she had assumed that it would be the Empress Dowager because she was coming from the palace of Empress Dowager and she was wearing very expensive and lavish clothes.
The Royal people can be spotted from the far away. Because they dressed up in extravagant ways which makes her different from others.
When she saw the Empress Dowager she thought, ' same eyes, same nose, same lips, ... She is really her' She mumbled in her breath.
Her face became pale, her whole body was shivering. She was now as white as sheet. Her eyes were welled up which was staring at the Wen Xiao.
On the other hand, Wen Xiao felt extremely awkward seeing her strong gaze but it was not cold. For some reason, she felt weird looking at her.
Her gaze was too strong to look at. Xiao Li also looking at Zhao Ming trying to understand her tricks. But she was behaving weirdly.
Zhao Ming looked at Wen Xu lovingly, her eyes were filled were tears. Inwardly she was thanking the powers that bring her here to see this day. She was truly thankful.
