Chapter 109 - Pounced on him. (1/2)

Ji Dynasty.

When Zhao Ming reached her chamber, she directly went to her bed and laid on it lazily. She was dead tired from all the drama.

Lu shi followed her and shook her head in frustration seeing the crude posture of Zhao Ming.

'Why Miss has changed so much after waking up. Does memory loss also makes one forget their manners?' She was worried that how would she will handle Zhao Ming's character.

Zhao Ming was tired, her eyelids felt heavy, as she was going into her slumber she heard a voice of the eunuch, who announced the arrival of the Emperor. Hearing this, she opened her eyes irritatingly.

She wanted to rest but he came again. She got annoyed. She sat up as Lu shi opened the door.

When Ji Cheng entered her room, he saw a girl with an irritating expression on her face. Her lips were pouting making her look more alluring. Seeing her annoyed yet adorable face, he chuckled.

He gestured Lu shi to go out of the room. After Lu shi left the room, he went closer to her. Standing beside her bed, he looked at her with a gentle gaze. But Xie Ming looked up at him and spoke, ” What are you doing here? Please make it quick.”

Hearing this, he looked at her in surprise. Never in his whole life, he was chided like this. It was the first time he was being shooed away from a room, that too it was his wife.

There was a time where she always waits for him but now she was chasing him out. He sighed.

' I need to make some efforts to win her heart back. But this chase game is also interesting. It feels like I am also a normal man. I have been too engaged in palace politics, now I need to focus on my Empress.'

Ignoring her annoyed look he asked, ” Are you okay? You were quite worn out earlier.” He asked with a worried expression.

She looked up at him and thought, ' if you know that I was worn out then why the hell are you here to disturb my sleep”. she thought to herself.

She put a finger in her ear to clear the wax as she felt itchy and spoke while itching her ear, ” Yeah. I was worn out. I was crazy that I mistook your Mo...I mean your mother like mine.” she said nonchalantly. She almost used Mom. Because if she speaks in her original way then they will say that she is possessed as Zhao Ming don't know English and the few people who know English are ambassadors or another one is Ji Cheng.

He will figure out if she continued to speak in her way. She inwardly praised herself for being quick-witted.

When he heard her response, he looked down at her. Her face was red from crying earlier and it also looking exhausting and tired. But seeing her clearing her wax out of her ear, he chuckled.

He sat on the bed beside her. Seeing him sitting on her bed, Xie Ming created a distance between her and him but didn't say anything.

Seeing her getting away from him, he felt disappointed but he calmed her emotions and spoke, ” I am sorry for my Mother's behavior. But don't worry, from now on I won't let anyone look down on you, even if that person is my Mother, I will always take your side from now on. I won't let you get bullied anymore.” he said righteously.

He said while looking at her, trying to figure out her thoughts. In the past, he never took her side. Though he never wanted to hurt her but he was just busy with his newly acquired throne and responsibilities, because of them, he didn't have time to focus on his Empress.
