Chapter 633 - Xiao Lis Father (1/2)

Ji Zhelan's expressions twisted hearing Ji Cheng's words. If Ji Cheng were to manage that area directly then it's going to be difficult for him.

” Zhelan, you can stay at the palace for a few more days if you want. After all, Grandmother Shuren adores you so much. Ah, I forgot to tell you, since that area is under me now, you can't stay at the previous dwelling of the Zhi Xue since he has been exiled and a new governor will soon take his place. I suggest you find some other place. ”

As said this, Ji Cheng looked at him and snickered before leaving. Since he doesn't have any hard evidence against Ji Zhelan that he let Ah Leng in the palace or was doing something at the border, he chose the indirect way to reduce his power.

' Ji Zhelan, you have really underestimated me. '

Ji Zhelan pursed his lips as she stared at Ji Cheng leaving the study.

His expressions darkened when he was alone in the room.

” Ji..Cheng…” he clenched his fists as his eyes turned red in anger. He wasted all the work he was doing all these years.

….

Zhao Ming was staring at her reflection in the mirror as she was thinking about the words Shen Jia said.

” Thing from the past…” she murmured as she tried to remember what could be that thing.

” What thing?” She was startled when Ji Cheng entered the room and heard her words.

He stopped behind her and stared at her in confusion, ” Did something happen?” He asked, seeing her dull expressions.

She shook her head and said, ” Nothing. You talked to him?” She wondered if Ji Zhelan and he had a good chat.

He nodded and sat on the bed.

” You want to know what we talked about?”

She shook her head and said, ” I am not stupid to put my life in danger by knowing the state's secret.”

He chuckled hearing her words. But if he thinks about it, it is state's secret indeed.

He nodded and patted her head, ” Very good.”

” Ah, I forgot to tell you one thing.” Ji Cheng straightened his back as he stared at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming raised her brows and asked, ” What is it?”

” I received a letter that the king of L country is coming to the palace. He is supposed to arrive at the palace after two weeks.”

Zhao Ming frowned as she remembered that the king of L country is Xiao Li's father. So her father is coming? Why?

” After two weeks? Mother's punishment is ending in a week, isn't it?” She asked as she suddenly remembered that Wen Xu's punishment period is about to end.
