Chapter 615 - I have something to talk with you (1/2)

Ji Cheng frowned when he heard Wen Xu's nagging from the side and rubbed his temples annoyingly.

Zhao Ming stood by the side and didn't say anything. She was confused as well, why Ji Cheng allowed him to stay in the palace. However, she knows that he seems to have something in mind and that's why she didn't say anything.

” Mother, I know better what I am doing. Moreover, whatever the reason is, Ji Zhelan has every right to stay in the palace. You can't deny the fact that he is father's son.”

Wen Xu's expressions darkened when she heard this. What does he mean by this?

” Ji Cheng, do you have any idea what you are talking about? How can you say something like this?”

Ji Cheng looked at her in annoyance, ” I didn't say anything wrong. It's true that he is the prince of the Ji Dynasty and has every right to stay in this palace. It was your greed because of which you forced them out. If not for your selfish actions, the situation might be different.”

Wen Xu patted her chest with her fist as she was angered by hearing his words. How can he say something like this?

She did all of this for him only, to clear the obstacles for his succession. How can he say something so unreasonable?

” How can you call him a prince? He is just a concubine born bastard. Ji Cheng, if not for me, you wouldn't be able to take this throne. Don't forget that everything I did was for your sake. How can you blame me for something so unreasonable?”

” Mother, first of all, it was not for my sake. You did everything to satisfy your greed and secure your title as Empress Dowager. And I know how to protect my family and people. I know what I am doing and I hope you won't interfere in my affairs.”

” I just hope you can learn something from this punishment and realize what's your fault. You're not only my mother but also the Empress Dowager. Can you just behave like one? You should work for the wellness of people but your actions are just the opposite. Other than your selfish wishes, you don't care about anything else.”

Wen Xu's expressions darkened as she couldn't stand his attitude.

Zhao Ming was impressed when she heard Ji Cheng's words. She has always seen how palace politics for power could be so brutal that the whole empire could be destroyed because of this hatred.

However, she can see how clear-minded and progressive Ji Cheng is. He thinks about people and their wellness first and then about anything else.

...

In the end, Wen Xu left the room in annoyance leaving the two alone.

Ji Cheng turned around and saw Zhao Ming staring at him.

He pursed his lips and asked, ” Do you also think that I am being unreasonable?”

Zhao Ming didn't say anything and stared at him for a minute.

” I don't care about all this because I know that you won't make any decisions without any reason. So let's not talk about this.”

” I think we should discuss what we are going to have for dinner tonight.” She asked with serious expressions.
