Chapter 717 - Tyrannical Emperor! (1/2)

In the study, Ji Cheng was sitting on his royal chair and looked at the ministers who were looking down at their hands, in nervousness while doing their best to avoid his rage.

In the last few days, Ji Cheng was working as a monster and was keeping them in meetings till late and was acting as if he had been possessed. He looks the same as when he became the Emperor and was expanding its territory, working all day long.

Everyone was afraid because the scary Ji Cheng had returned who was ready to burn them with his gaze only.

Ji Cheng tapped his fingers on the table and looked at the minister beside him, ” Didn't you say that you have anything to report about the L kingdom? Speak!” he said coldly, causing the man to jump in fear.

Ji Cheng's mood was already on the verge of outburst but the news he had with him, will surely cause him to burn everyone in this room alive.

The ministers gulped nervously and started speaking, ” Erm...Your Majesty, according to your command, I arranged someone to check on L kingdom and their activities. After the consort Xiao Li's demise, her father was in mourning but today I found out that they have noticed a few activities on their side. ”

” Seems like Prince Ji Zhelan has joined hands with him and was planning for something big…” he said hesitantly.

Ji Cheng frowned hearing his words. He can understand the mental state of Xiao Li's father since he lost his daughter. Although, she had made grave mistakes and tried to kill Zhao Ming….His mind wandered as he realized that after that incident, Zhao Ming was sent to the other world by Shen Jia otherwise she would have been dead by now.

He clenched his fists and felt the anger brewing inside him. However, there is nothing more he can do now, Xiao Li has already received her punishment for her crimes.

After she was sent to the cold palace, he received the news after a few weeks that she took her life by smashing her head against the pillar in the palace.

The palace was situated in an isolated mountain and is cold all over the year just like its name. The empty palace with only trees surrounding the palace makes it even more creepy and eerie. There are no servants, or cooks in the palace with no luxuries and there is no warmth in that place. On top of that, the consort sent there was to be given slow poison to drink daily which affects their nerves and causes them to go crazy. That's why no one could manage to stay at the cold palace for more than a month, but the death experience at that place is pure torture.

” So you're saying that Ji Zhelan joined hands with Xiao Li's father?” he asked coldly, causing the minister to fumble for words.

”Ah,...yes. Even though Your Majesty managed to curb the influence of Prince Ji's grandfather in the border area, this time he found a good backing for him. He used the weak mental state of Late Cons...Xiao Li's father to instigate an attack. Things seem quite serious this time.” The minister stopped before he could call Xiao Li the consort because, before her death, her position as the consort of the Emperor was taken down due to her crimes.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and said, ” For now, look into the activities of the L dynasty more. Also, ask the military personnel to make the requirements in advance.”

The minister nodded.

Feng Ju, who was standing at the door, frowned when a guard came to inform him about what Zhao Ming was doing. He pursed his lips and looked at Ji Cheng who was busy in the meeting.

” Your Majesty!” Feng Ju interrupted him, causing Ji Cheng to frown.

” Why? Can't you see that I am in the meeting?” Ji Cheng snapped at him. He was working and yet he dared to interrupt him.
