Zhao Ming saw Wen Xu going towards her Chamber, she chuckled seeing her angry and frustrated. She felt good after irritating her. She felt relaxed. Though her face bothered her, but after crying buckets, now the burden that she was carrying for ages has been reduced.
She felt good.
But she was tired after all this melodrama. She turned to go to her Chamber but when she turned she saw Xiao Li and Ji Cheng staring at her with shocked expressions. Especially Xiao Li, her mouth was kept open, she was shocked and confused seeing this new Zhao Ming in front of her. Though she wasn"t wearing any heavy clothes or jewelry but the bright smile on her face made Zhao Ming more beautiful.
She was looking brighter than before. Xiao Li kept staring at her.
She thought, " How could this stupid Zhao Ming became so confident and strong. Even Empress Dowager couldn"t say anything in front of her. And why does she behaving so weirdly, one minute she was crying like someone has died and the other minute she became cold as ice. Why she is changing her personality like she was changing clothes?"
Zhao Ming noticed Xiao Li"s confused questionable gaze, which made her look more ugly. Zhao Ming chuckled and turned to Lu s.h.i.+ without giving any heed to her. She said to Lu s.h.i.+, " Let"s go. I am tired." She said while yawning and stretching her hands in air.
It was "unsophisticated".
Lu s.h.i.+ got surprised and scared of seeing her such casual behavior because there were other guards and Xiao Li and her servants were present. And moreover, the Emperor was also there. She thought to herself, " Why is behaving so crudely. Does Miss wants the Emperor to hate even her more."
She sighed to herself.
She cautiously looked at the Ji Cheng with side-eye to see the disgust in his eyes but surprisingly his expressions were gentle and he was staring at Zhao Ming. Lu s.h.i.+ almost stumbled on the ground after witnessing this situation."Does the emperor likes girls who are clumsy and not well mannered?" She thought to herself.
Before she could say anything, Zhao Ming held her hand and pulled her towards her way to her Chamber leaving everyone behind with shocked expression. Xiao Li was shocked to see that she even ignored the Emperor. Before she tries to find ways to talk to the emperor but now he was there, right in front of her.
But she went on her way like he doesn"t exist. She pa.s.sed by him like he was invisible to her.
All the guards witnessed this scene and silently dispersed because they know that they have witnessed the drama that they shouldn"t have.
Ji Cheng stood there in his place. He felt bad because she didn"t even cast a look at him. She just pa.s.sed by him, just like that. He remembered the nervousness in her eyes when he caught her before falling. Seeing her bigger eyes from close and those rosy lips, his heart fluttered.
When he remembered that scene, his lips curled up in a smile. Her nervous look made it evitable that she still likes him. But he was oblivious to the fact that she liked his handsome face more than him.
She is the all-time Virgin Xie Ming who loves guys with handsome faces and their well-maintained bodies.
When Xiao Li saw Ji CHeng smiling, she froze. She had never seen him smiling like this. And there is no occasion to smile. To her, his smile looked so creepy. She felt s.h.i.+vers to her spine.
But she gathered her courage and went to him, " Your highness, I think sister must be tired because she just woke up and that must be the reason that she behaved like this. So please don"t get mad at her. She didn"t mean to insult the Empress Dowager." she said with a subtle smile on her face making her elegant.
But to him, she looked like a most disgusting and sly person. He had never thought that she could put things in front of others in such a way that one would think that she was defending the other party but in reality, she was complaining about that person. That"s why Empress Dowager thought that she is the one who gets bullied by Zhao Ming, but in reality, it was vice versa.
But today he has witnessed the whole drama in front of his eyes but she still dared to come and speak like this. He scoffed inwardly.
Hearing her words, Ji Cheng looked at her coldly and said, " Just care for yourself. Don"t meddle in other"s matters." As he said that, he left with Feng Ju towards his palace without even looking at her.
Xiao Li stood there frozen. She got humiliated again and moreover, he said the same thing that Zhao Ming has said a few minutes back. On the same day, she don"t know how many times she got humiliated. She felt so embarra.s.sed. She turned to look around and saw the awkward expressions on her maids.
She gritted her teeth in anger and cursed Ming in her heart.
" I will kill that Zhao Ming".As she murmured in her breath she clenched her fists tightly. Then she looked at those maids and stomped her feet and went to her room without waiting for her maids.
The maids followed her quietly.
On the other side when Zhao Ming reached her chamber, she suddenly sneezed loudly and rubbed her nose and said, " Who is cursing me?"
Seeing her sneezing loudly like men, Lu s.h.i.+ got startled and shut the door, so that no one could see them. She looked at Zhao Ming and thought, " What happened to my well mannered and elegant lady. Why is she behaving like this?" As she said this she slapped her forehead with her hand in frustration.
