Chapter 410 - I need to show Ji Cheng how scheming she is. (1/2)
” What did she say?” Xiao Li asked the maid who just came from Zhao Ming's chamber.
Xiao Li was already in Wen Xu's chamber and had sent a maid to look for Zhao Ming without giving them much time to rest.
She doesn't care if she was tired or not but she just wanted Wen Xu to look for her. These last days when Wen Xu was not there, she has suffered a lot.
Xiao Li wanted Zhao Ming to come earlier than Ji Cheng and wanted to teach her a lesson before he came .
She has urged Wen Xu to call Zhao Ming first and the latter agree to her without hesitation.
Wen Xu never rejects Xiao Li's request because she is her dear daughter in law.
….
The maid glanced at Xiao Li and replied with her head held down, ” Empress Zhao Ming said that she will come after getting ready.”
” Hmm. You can go back now.” Wen Xu, who was sitting on her royal chair, waved her hand, asking her to go back.
Xiao Li was sitting in the chair beside Wen Xu. Normally, they were not allowed to sit due to royal protocols and according to tradition only Empress can sit beside Empress Dowager.
However, Xiao Li and Wen Xu never cared about such traditions which were not suitable for them that's why Wen Xu made Xiao Li sit on Zhao Ming's seat.
” Mother, why did you call His highness here ? Since you wanted to talk to sister Zhao, why did you call his highness?” Xiao Li asked curiously.
They wanted to teach Zhao Ming a lesson but why did she call Ji Cheng over as well? Wouldn't this make things complicated?
Wen Xu drank her tea and replied solemnly,” I wanted to talk to him about his decision. I wanted to know of which authority he gave Zhao Ming those powers? How can that girl deserve the right to manage the harem?”
” Ji Cheng has become willful since she woke up from the coma. I need to teach him a lesson as well. How can he take such a decision himself? Am I dead that he is giving all the powers to her? ” Wen Xu's expressions turned grim as she completed her words.
She was so annoyed when she heard from Xiao Li that Ji Cheng had given all the right to manage the harem to Zhao Ming.
He even said that no one should disobey Zhao Ming's order otherwise he will look into the matter himself.
By saying this, is he trying to challenge her powers? He wanted Zhao Ming to manage her, Empress Dowager's budget?
Xiao Li's lips curled upwards when she heard Wen Xu's words. She was waiting for Wen Xu to come back because without her, it was hard for her to say anything.
She was so anxious when Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming went for a trip and stayed there for a night. But thankfully the same day today when Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming was about to return, Wen Xu arrived at the palace in morning
Xiao Li was elated seeing Wen Xu. She was glad that she came earlier than Ji Cheng.
When Wen Xu asked where everyone was, she told her what happened behind her back. How Zhao Ming bullied her and also threw her maid out from the palace.
