Chapter 614 - That bastard is here? (2/2)

She was afraid that he might fight for the succession and would be a threat for Ji Cheng in the future. After Ji Cheng's father's death, she forced all the concubines and their children out of the palace.

….

Wen Xu gritted her teeth and mumbled, ” Why did he come back? ”

The maid stayed mum and didn't say anything seeing Wen Xu's dark expressions.

” Where is he now?”

The maid pursed her lips and said in a low voice, ” I heard that His Majesty has allowed him to stay in a guest-chamber for now. I don't know anything else about it.”

The maid pursed her lips and raised her head slightly only to see Wen Xu's fierce expressions.

Before she could say anything, Wen Xu dashed out of the room leaving her dumbfounded.

…..

Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng were having tea after their lunch when the door of the chamber was pushed open with a force.

This startled Zhao Ming when she saw Wen Xu whose face was pale and weak but her expressions were so fierce that it made her scrunch slightly in fear.

Ji Cheng saw her actions and his gaze darkened seeing her getting scared of Wen Xu.

He thought that she was scared of Wen Xu but he didn't realize that it was just her momentarily expressions because she felt repulsive seeing her expressions.

Ji Cheng stood up and asked in an indifferent tone, ” Mother, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you before to not barge into our room like this? Can't you understand this small thing?”

Wen Xu ignored his words and walked towards him, ” Why did he come? ”.

He understood that she was talking about Ji Zhelan.

He took a deep breath and responded, ” I don't know. He said that he came because he met Wen Ru in the way and he missed everyone as well. He asked to stay in the palace for a few days. After that, he will go back. ”

Wen Xu scoffed and said, ” And you believed that? Didn't you say that it was Zhelan who tried to cause an uprise and that bodyguard was his man as well? How can you allow him to stay in the palace after knowing all this?”

She was speechless over Ji Cheng's naivety. How can he allow a person who planted a spy in his palace to live as nothing happened? Shouldn't he worry about his throne and his power?

Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng whose expressions were plain and indifferent.

” Mother, I know what I am doing. I am the Emperor so I know what to do. You don't need to tell me all this.”

” I don't think that you know anything. If you know how to handle this situation, then things won't turn out like this.” Wen Xu ridiculed as she looked at Ji Cheng in annoyance.

She couldn't understand why Ji Cheng was taking this matter so lightly.
