Chapter 417 - She doesnt deserve all this happiness. (2/2)

She looked at him questioningly as he was standing in front of the door and was taking heavy breaths.

He was still scared of Ji Cheng's killing intent that he had just seen.

Hearing Lu shi's words, he looked over her and straightened his back.

” Ahem. Nothing. ” He walked out of the pavilion like nothing happened but deep down he was too scared to knock on the door next time.

” What's wrong with him?” Lu shi shook her head as she had no idea why he was behaving strangely.

...

Inside the chamber, Zhao Ming put down the comb and walked to the bed as she sat beside Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng looked at her with interest as she sat down. He was hoping to continue from where they stopped but Zhao Ming changed the topic and asked, ” What is Red Letter?”

” Lu shi and Feng Ju were both shocked when they heard that you are issuing red letters to Empress Dowager and Xiao Li. Is it red in colour that's why it's called red letter?”

”-_-”

Ji Cheng was shocked when he heard her question. He was puzzled as to how she made this kind of conception.

He chuckled and said,” Red letters are not called red letters because it's red in color. In fact, the word red is used to signify the warning attached to this official letter. Giving someone a red letter means that you're officially warning them and they will be removed from their position if they received another letter. ” he explained to her as he looked at her seriously.

Zhao Ming's mouth opened in shock. She didn't expect it to be this serious.

She has thought that Ji Cheng was only bluffing about removing Wen Xu from her position. But he actually made up his mind to send them red letters.

” Oh. I never thought that it could be this serious.” she said as she nodded her head.

However, she still felt uncomfortable about it. She doesn't know why he was supporting her like this and why now?

She has heard stories in the palace from different sources and some from Lu shi that in the past, Ji Cheng never glanced at her.

Neither he said anything to Wen Xu and Xiao Li  despite knowing what was happening in the palace. It was sure that he was aware of the  things that were happening in the past because he said that he knows what Wen Xu has done.

But why has he never said anything to them before? And why was he supporting her now?

She felt this unsettling feeling inside her heart because she knows that Zhao Ming has loved him so much yet she never  get to see this side of him

She died without knowing that he also loved her. She doesn't know what went wrong between them but she felt uncomfortable thinking that the love that belongs to Zhao Ming was being showered at her.

' She does not deserve all this happiness.'
