Chapter 523 - What a nice way to apologise. (1/2)

Zhao Ming's lips curled up in a smirk seeing Wen Xu's expressions. When she had slapped her, she acted like she is strong and a very scary person.

But now she was flinching like a scared puppy. However, the puppies are still cute and she's not.

” Do you think I am joking? You say I am not capable of doing that?”

Zhao Ming leaned closer, reducing the distance between them and staring directly into her eyes.

”When you can slap the Empress then I can at least send the suspended Empress Dowager to the detention room. You're even suspended from your royal duties and have been given a red-letter. It won't be a big problem to send you for a few days to the confinement room.”

”Though you won't be killed like my father but who knows? Nobody would know if something happened inside the darkroom.” She said in a low voice while staring at Wen Xu. Her voice was so low that only Wen Xu could hear her words.

Wen Xu swallowed hard hearing her dangerous plans. Nobody has talked to her this way before.

Zhao Ming was not even scared of Ji Cheng.

She glanced at Ji Cheng and he was just looking at Zhao Ming with surprised expressions.

But it wasn't anger. He was just surprised, not even shocked.

And this shocked Wen Xu. How can he be so calm when his wife was threatening his mother to send her to the detention room? Even though he didn't hear her dangerous plan, shouldn't he be against her sending her to the detention center?

Zhao Ming followed her gaze and turned around. She smiled and said, ” Your majesty, will you say something if I send Empress Dowager to the confinement room?”

Wen Xu pursed her lips and waited for him to defend his mother. But her face fell when she heard his response.

” Do as it seems fit to you. Since you wanted to deal with it, you can do whatever you want. After all, she has hit you, you should deal with it yourself. Also, you're the Empress, you should know how to deal with such problems yourself.” He played along with Zhao Ming and didn't' say anything to support Wen Xu.

” So, what should I do mother? Do you...want to go to the detention room?” Zhao Ming again turned her attention to Wen Xu.

Wen Xu shivered and looked towards Ji Cheng, ” I...it wasn't my intention to hurt her. I won't do anything to her from now on. Ji Cheng, I am your mother, you should not be so hard on your mother.” she pleaded to Ji Cheng using her mother's card.

Zhao Ming chuckled and said, ” Mother, as long as I remember, it wasn't your first time when you used physical violence on me. Do you want us to believe that you didn't have the intention to hurt me?”

” What do you know? You don't even remember anything.”

” Oh. Didn't I tell you about it? I got my memories back. So I clearly know what you did to me in the past and if that was intentional or not.”

”-_-”

Wen Xu pursed her lips as she stared at Zhao Ming in disbelief. Even after getting her memories back, she is acting like this? How come there is such a big difference between her personality before and now?

” Zhao Ming, don't go too far. I have already apologized. So you should also let go of this matter.”

” When did you apologize to me?” Zhao Ming was speechless seeing the way Wen Xu was lying.
