Chapter 673 - Market Visit III (2/2)

”Emp... Empress?” he was in a daze and couldn't understand who this man who came out of nowhere and was now beating his friend.

Before the man could even understand what's happening, synced urgent footsteps could be heard and when people looked behind, they saw tens of guards coming out of nowhere crowding the market even more.

They walked towards them when Feng Ju grasped the man by his collar and threw him at the head guard while the other guard held onto the other man.

” What are your orders, Your Majesty?” the head guard bowed in front of Ji Cheng who was flaring up in anger.

” Take them and throw this man in the dungeon. However, make sure that he will be alive. I will deal with him in tomorrow's court. Do anything, just don't kill. He should not die so easily. He doesn't deserve to get easy death.”

Zhao Ming stared at Ji Cheng and shuddered to see his dangerous and dark expressions. She never saw him this angry before. He was way angrier than ever.

The head guard bowed and left the area with those two men and a few guards, while others stayed to escort the Emperor and Empress back to the palace.

Zhao Ming stood there in a daze and mumbled, ” Dungeon?” She has only heard about dungeons in stories and last time he didn't give that many strict punishments to Hao Mei and Yu Kang, so she assumed there is no such place here. Though there is a confinement room, she has seen it once but it was not so scary and was pretty much like jails in her time which she had seen on TV of course.

But it seems like she was wrong.

Ji Cheng turned around and saw Zhao Ming standing there in a daze and was little startled. He walked to her and pulled her in his embrace.

Zhao Ming was startled when he suddenly hugged her and that too in front of everyone. This world is not that open-minded when it comes to skinship but he seems to not mind everyone's stare. Everyone was staring at them but his focus was only her right now.

”His Maj…”

” You must be scared, right? I am sorry I let you hear such disgusting things. You don't need to do such things in the future. There are many servants and guards for that, anyone can do that. You…”

” Shh. I am fine. I am not scared. Your Empress is not that weak that she will get scared of these few happenings. Moreover, I know you are watching over us. How can something happen to us?” Before he could continue, she wrapped her hands around his waist and rubbed his back while trying to soothe him.

Rather than her, he seems to be more affected by everything.
