Chapter 299 - The Empress protecting her Emperor (2/2)

” What did you say? You would give your body to the Emperor? Do you think he would want your disgusting body? Hao Mei, saying these words, you made me realize that I was right. You're nothing but a snake who would bite their Master when they get a chance.”

” How dare you to say something like this to his highness? Didn't you feel any shame as a woman? Hah, You dared to say these words in front of me.

” I wonder what you must have done behind my back.” Zhao Ming glared at Hao Mei scornfully.

Hearing Zhao Ming's words, Ji Cheng felt a thunder falling on him. He thought that Zhao Ming misunderstood him so he looked at Zhao Ming and said, ” I didn't do anything. I don't even know her.”

Zhao Ming: -_-

Xiao Li: -_-

Feng Ju: -_-

With Ji Cheng's words, an awkward silence came over, making everyone feel uncomfortable.

Ji Cheng was worried that Zhao Ming was thinking that he has some relations with this maid so he wanted to make himself clear.

When Zhao Ming heard his words, she looked at him and blinked at him in confusion. She was referring to the schemes she must have played with Xiao Li and she didn't even mean about Ji Cheng.

But when he came to clarify himself, she doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pursed her lips trying not to laugh in this serious situation.

She ignored Ji Cheng's words and took a deep breath. She looked at Hao Mei who was in a mess and released her arm which caused her to plop on the ground like a corpse.

Not only she was kicked out and humiliated, she made herself such a disgusting person before leaving.

After Zhao Ming released her, the guards came and held Hao Mei up and dragged her away.

Seeing Hao Mei being dragged away, Zhao Ming did not feel any pity. She didn't have any personal grudges with her but her words that she just said, made her blood boil with rage and she doesn't know what came to her and she just slapped her.

She felt so enraged and disgusted when she said those words. How can she say something like this? She tried to seduce Ji Cheng with her pitiful and vulnerable condition in front of her damn eyes.

She looked at the helpless and lifeless Hao Mei who was being dragged away.

If she hasn't insulted her like this and asked her to leave the kitchen with such arrogance, this situation would not have reached this stage.

'But it is for the best. What if she would have tried to seduce Ji Cheng behind her back?'

' The servants here are scary.' she felt goosebumps all over her body.

After Hao Mei left, Zhao Ming turned her eyes to other maids who gossiped with Hao Mei earlier.

She has punished the main culprit but it's not that she was the only one in the wrong.

The other maids were equally wrong because they did not stop her or said anything in return to retort to her words. They listened to her rubbish with interest and were distracted from their work.

They insulted her as well by not greeting her at first.

When the maids saw that Zhao Ming was looking at them, they panicked when they noticed her gaze. Their lips quivered as they looked at her with their frightened gazes.

Everyone looked at her and tried to avoid her gaze and wanted her to leave quietly.

They do not want to get noticed and wanted to stand there like a statue.

Seeing their frightened expressions, Zhao Ming's lips curled upwards in amusement.

She liked this feeling of being powerful and strong. The powers as Empress gave her immense confidence.

” Do you want to get thrown out of the palace like her? If you don't what to be like her, then do your work properly. If I saw anyone of you slacking like today and gossiping about anyone, then I won't be merciful and just throw you out without any hesitation. Get that? ” Zhao Ming looked at the other maids and said in a stern voice.
