Chapter 520 - All because of Zhao Ming (2/2)

Her lower body was aching like she has done extreme workout especially 50 sets of lunges and squats. She has never felt this extreme pain and uncomfortable there.

Ji Cheng went to the morning court and she was glad that he went. Otherwise, he would have teased her for having low stamina and a weak body.

” Miss, here's your breakfast. ”

Zhao Ming looked at the breakfast that Lu Shi bought for her.

She frowned and asked, ” This? Why are there so many nuts and dates? And why is there milk? You know how much I hate milk. Where are my spicy noodles?”

Lu shi pursed her lips and replied, ” His highness has told me to bring you this breakfast. He said your body is weak and you need nutritious food not oily and spicy food. ”

She frowned and said, ” But it's all vegetarian food. Give me a meat dish at least.”

” I am sorry but I can't help you with this.”

” Who is your master? Me or him? You should listen to me, not him.”

” You're my master but he is the Emperor. In the end, his decision is final.”

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and said angrily, ” Get out. Don't show me your face again. Go to your Emperor. After all, you are more loyal to him than me.” She humphed as she looked at the milk with disgust in her eyes.

This is plain milk. And she hated it the most.

' Yuck'

Strawberry or chocolate milkshake would have been better. But plain milk is pure 'No'.

Lu shi shook her head and prepared to leave the room. When she stepped out of the room, she almost bumped into the figure in front of her.

” Empress Dowager?” Her complexion turned pale as she hurriedly bowed down and greeted her.

Wen Xu frowned and pushed her to the side and entered the room without asking for permission.

Zhao Ming was surprised when Wen Xu suddenly barged into the room looking angry as if she would kill her right away.

” Empress Dowager, what brings you here?” She asked in a rather calm way.

Wen Xu pursed her lips and looked at the special breakfast in front of Zhao Ming.

She stared at her from top to bottom and her frown deepened when she noticed those purple marks on her neck.

Since she has styled her hair in a braid, the marks were more clear than it would be if she has kept them open.

” Is there any reason for you to barge into my room like this? ”

” Zhao Ming, what is the meaning of all this? You not only suspended me and Xiao Li but now minister Yu Shao as well? What game exactly are you playing?”

She only today found out about this news that because of Zhao Ming, Ji Cheng has removed Minister Yu Shao from his position.

Yu Shao was her closest confidant among the ministers and that's why she has asked him to talk to Ji Cheng about her suspension letter. If things would have gone right then Ji Cheng had to take back his decision to suspend them because of the pressure by the ministers.

But because of Zhao Ming, Ji Cheng removed Yu Shao from his position and now no other minister is ready to support her and dared to speak against her suspension.

And it's all because of Zhao Ming.
