As everyone was fl.u.s.tered to see her sudden outburst, they heard a worried and cold voice, it was Ji Cheng.
When one of his guards told him that the news of Zhao Ming has been spread and the Empress Dowager also know about it now. He hurriedly left the meeting and came to the garden finding her.
And when he reached here, he saw Zhao Ming crying and wailing. Everyone was there, Xiao Li and the Empress Dowager. Even guards were also standing there. Seeing the Emperor they straightened up.
Ji Cheng thought it was her mother and Xiao Li. He went to hold Zhao Ming who was squatting on the ground, holding her knees with her arms and crying loudly.
He held her in his arms and tried to calm her down. But she doesn"t seem to be calm down.
Her face has become pale, she was s.h.i.+vering and she was in mess. She never thought that she will see her mother ever again. It was the thing that she had not imagined even in her wild dreams.
Seeing Zhao Ming"s condition, he eyed his mother and Xiao Li and asked coldly, " What did you guys do to her?"
His face was cold and angry. He was worried about her. He was interrogating them but still holding Zhao Ming in his arms. This time, he doesn"t want her to feel alone and lonely.
This time, he will not let her bear everything alone. He was constantly thinking about the thing, that if her mother has bullied her than he will deal with it. He will not let it go like other times.
She may be her mother, but the other person is also his wife, the Empress of Ji Dynasty, she can"t be treated casually. If he let her bullied again, then what"s the use of being the Emperor when he can"t even protect his wife.
Seeing Ji Cheng"s cold demeanor both Xiao Li and Wen Xu felt s.h.i.+vers. They thought that Zhao Ming must be pretending in front of Ji Cheng to get them scolded.
Both of them looked at Zhao Ming with disgust in their eyes. They thought it was her petty trick to get them scolded by Ji Cheng. But they were surprised that Ji Cheng questioned Wen Xu.
He never said or questioned his Mother even once. From childhood, he has respected his mother the most.
But now he questioned her, that too in front of everyone. The servants and guards were all there and it was for that Zhao Ming.
Wen Xu unbelievably looked at Ji Cheng and said, " It wasn"t me. I haven"t said anything to her. She just started crying the moment she saw me. It.. really wasn"t me." she said hurriedly seeing the dangerous gaze of Ji Cheng.
She knows that Ji Cheng is very obedient to her but she also knows that when he gets angry he becomes the most dangerous man than one can meet. He was ruthless and would not regard any relations if she crossed his bottom line.
And seeing his behavior, right now Zhao Ming seemed to be his bottom line. Ji Cheng has never been protective of someone like this.
Ji Cheng did not believe their words and was going to say something, but before him, Zhao Ming abruptly stood up. Because of her sudden action, Ji cheng almost fell behind.
Zhao Ming was not in her senses. When she saw Wen Xu, she forgot that she was in ancient times and started crying. She thought that she was in a dream and it will be over soon. So she stood up and walked towards Wen Xu in long strides. With her actions everyone thought that she was going to hurt the Empress Dowager, the guards behind became alert.
But before anyone could understand anything, Zhao Ming has thrown herself on Wen Xu. She jumped on her and hug her tightly. Even Wen Xu was caught off guard. Zhao Ming hugged her tightly, not letting her go.
She then started crying, " Momma, I missed you so much. Please don"t leave me again. I can"t live without you. These years without you, my life was nothing. Please, don"t leave me." she said while sobbing.
" When you were not there, everyone bullied me, no one loved me. Everyone hates me here Momma, please take me with you. Just take me anywhere, I will behave obediently. Your Ming will be obedient. Just don"t leave me. okay?"
Everyone was shocked seeing this scene. They never expected for Zhao Ming to behave like this. even Wen Xu was shocked, even her own son never said something like this to her. She knows that Zhao Ming has lost her mother when she was young, but she never showed her weakness like this,
It was not wrong to say that she was somewhat touched with her sudden confession. After all, she was also a mother, though she never liked Zhao Ming but she can"t deny that she was also her daughter in law.
And she may be the Empress Dowager but she always longed for this kind of intimate relations.h.i.+p with her children. But she never had this kind of bonding with her children even her daughters-in-law"s were respectable towards her but they never loved her.
They just have to respect her. In the palace, love is the hardest thing to find. Even the relations.h.i.+p between Mother and Son is corrupted, leave alone with daughter in law.
But now when Zhao Ming hugged her desperately and said those words, she don"t know how to react.
She just stood there awkwardly, don"t know where to put her hands.
And Zhao Ming hugged her like, she was holding onto her dear life.
