Chapter 455 - Harem Meeting (8) (2/2)
” It's not me who wanted to remove Consort Xiao Li from her position but it is His Majesty's orders himself. That's why I have to find a replacement for Consort Xiao Li.” Zhao Ming took a letter from Lu shi's hand and passed it to Xiao Li to see.
” This is the official Red Letter that his majesty has issued a while ago. Since I was coming here, Feng Ju gave it to me and requested me to pass it to you. And according to the rules, you can't possibly continue to work as the Head Consort in the harem after receiving the warning letter. ” Zhao Ming said with a hint of regret on her face.
” So I need to find someone to replace you and help me with the harem works. That's why I said that I need to find someone to help me in work. ”
After Zhao Ming finished her words, there was a long silence in the room. No one spoke for a while as they were all shocked.
Xiao Li's face turned red from embarrassment because she was not only removed from her position but Zhao Ming deliberately gave this letter to her in front of everyone.
Everyone was looking at her suspicion and pity in their gazes. Xiao Li pursed her lips as she couldn't understand why Jk Cheng issued the Red Letter for her.
She opened it and saw the reason for issuing the letter.
It said, ” Unexplainable reasons.”
Xiao Li: ”-_-”
Xiao Li couldn't believe that Ji Cheng gave her the Red Letter without any reason? He didn't even state the reason clearly.
Her hands trembled when she read the letter again and again.
All the other consorts were stunned when they heard Zhao Ming's words.
They started whispering to each other in a state of confusion and panic. They all knew what Red Letter meant and were shocked to see that Xiao Li had received her first warning.
Isn't she the Head Consort? Not only that she was the most favorite Consort of Empress Dowager. How can she receive this warning letter? That too from the Emperor himself.
Wen Xu frowned and snatched the letter from Xiao Li's trembling hands. She gritted her teeth as she read the letter.
She glared at Zhao Ming because she understood that it was all because of her.
'She must be behind all this.'
Wen Xu remembered Ji Cheng's outburst yesterday. She looked at Zhao Ming and asked in the authoritative tone, ” What is this? How can Xiao Li receive the Red Letter? And on what basis? Unexplainable reasons? Are you kidding me?”
” Red Letter is not a joke. Xiao Li hasn't done anything wrong, so I don't accept this red letter. You don't need to find anyone else for the position of Head Consort either. Xiao Li will continue her duty like before. ” Wen Xu domineeringly.
She thought that Ji Cheng was just showing tantrums. If she goes and talks to him, everything will be fine.
There is no reason to give a Red Letter for such small things.
” But mother, I am afraid that you cannot take the decision about Consort Xiao to work as the Head Consort .” Zhao Ming said hesitantly.
Wen Xu frowned and said, ” What do you mean? Are you trying to ignore my decision? I am the Empress Dowager. I can take this decision and I will make him take back his order as well. ”
” It's not that I am trying to ignore your decision. But you can't make this decision because you don't have the power to do so. Because you also have received a Red Letter as well . ” Zhao Ming took another red letter from Lu shi's hand and passed it to Wen Xu politely.
