Chapter 37 - She will wake up soon (2/2)

Ji Dynasty.

Emperor Ji cheng went to his chamber, where his mother was waiting for him. When he reached, he greeted his mother. And sat on his throne.

” That vixen has ruined the image of the Empress and now trying to gain sympathy by drowning herself. Hmph. How could she seduce that bodyguard with her cheap looks.” Mother Ji Ran said with hatred. She is the mother in law of Zhao Ming. She doesn't like Zhao Ming instead she favors his concubine Xao Li. She was the princess of country L and this marriage helped Ji cheng to strengthen his position. She always compared Zhao Ming with Xao Li and humiliated her in any possible way.

When Ji cheng heard, his mother's words, his expression became cold. He didn't say anything but looked at her mother with a cold expression.

Ji Ran continued, ” Now that she is dead, we need a....” before she could continue, Ji cheng shouted, ” she is not dead. She will wake up soon and she had not any immoral relationship with that bodyguard.” he said, with directly looking at his mother.

She also got baffled at his sudden outburst. His son has never talked to her in this manner. He never shouted at her. But now he shouted at her for that slut. She must have used black magic to cast a spell on him, that's why he is behaving like this.

”I mean, she is sick and doesn't know when she will wake up. It's been a month and she didn't wake up. We need to give the responsibility of harem to someone. As to do that the position of Empress should be given to someone else. And I want you to make Xao Li an Empress. She is more deserved than that vixen. ” she said to Ji cheng.

He looked at her and thought for a while.

” I cannot do that. The hairpin that was given to the empress is missing. And without that hairpin one cannot be bestowed the position of Empress. ”. He said, with a blank expression. And continued, ” Moreover, I believe she will woke up soon. So you don't need to care about these things. ” he said as he stared at his mother.

” Hmph. I don't care if she wakes up or not. If she doesn't wake up by the time when the full moon occurs than I want you to announce Xao Li as the new empress at the banquet which is in the next two weeks. Otherwise, I will take care of that girl myself. ” his mother said, with determination.

He looked at her mother's behavior and didn't say anything. Instead, he just walked out of the room without saying anything.

He just now can only wish that she wakes up soon.
