Chapter 347 - You should think before speaking. (2/2)

He glanced at Ji Cheng who was standing beside Zhao Ming with a blank face.

” Empress is right. Consort Xiao Li, you should speak after thinking first. If you speak without thinking, then your words will get you into trouble one day.” he said firmly.

Zhao Ming raises her brows when she hears his words. She felt her heartwarming up when he supported her words and asked Xiao Li to behave herself.

She felt touched with his kind gesture. But this gesture made Xiao Li's blood burn in anger.

She lightly pursed her lips, ” But your highness, I didn't….” before Xiao Li could complete her words and say that she didn't say anything wrong, Ji Cheng interrupted her.

” That's enough. Now go to your chamber and rest. I don't want anyone to talk about this topic.” he chided Xiao Li to go to her room before she could complain about Zhao Ming.

He then turned to Wen Ru and said, ” You also go and rest. You must be tired and we also need to go out tomorrow, so you should use this time to take a rest. ” Ji Cheng said plainly as he looked at Wen Ru with a face devoid of any expressions.

Wen Ru didn't say anything and just nodded when he heard his words. He glanced at Zhao Ming before leaving and nodded at her lightly.

Zhao Ming smiled at him as she responded to him with a nod.

Xiao Li gritted her teeth as she glared at Zhao Ming. She slightly bowed to Ji Cheng and turned to go back to her room.

She clenched her dress tightly with her hands as she walked towards her chamber. She didn't look at the back as she doesn't want to glance at Zhao Ming.

She was afraid that she would scratch her face if she looked at her ugly face at this moment.

The anger was boiling inside her because Ji Cheng watched everything but didn't even doubt Zhao Ming even for a moment.

How can he do this to her? Shouldn't he yell at Zhao Ming but he didn't do that. Instead, he told her to think before speaking.

When Wen Ru and Xiao Li left, Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming were standing alone outside the palace.

Zhao Ming hesitantly glanced at Ji Cheng and pursed her lips.

She was waiting for him to say something but rather than asking her about the matter he held her hand and intertwined their fingers together.

” Let's go. We need to sleep early to get up early tomorrow, otherwise, we will be late tomorrow.” he plainly said as he tightly held onto her hand.

Zhao Ming was caught off guard when he suddenly held her hand and started walking forward.

She had no choice but to follow his lead but she was confused about why he didn't ask her anything.

She heard that the relationship between Zhao Ming and him was not good. The little bit of memories that she had of Zhao Ming were only the fragments of incidents that were very blurry to her.

She couldn't figure out anything from these memories. Only his name and few arguments she can all remember.

There was nothing conclusive that she could figure out from those bits of memories of her.

She looked at the hand that he was holding. She smiled and followed his lead silently. She was happy that Ji Cheng supported her in front of Xiao Li and didn't let her get embarrassed in front of her.
