Chapter 718 - Stupid Emperor! (1/2)
Ji Cheng was stupefied after reading the note sent by Zhao Ming. In the last few days, he was ignoring her because he was angry at her for many things, especially for not revealing the truth and keep pretending until he found out himself.
However, in that process, he was hurt too. He wasn't enjoying the process of ignoring her and seeing her crying appearance from afar. He was also not sure how to feel about this whole situation.
The woman he loved and cared for suddenly turned out to be someone else. His wife, his love who made his day and night brighter and happier turned out to be someone else. With Zhao Ming, he was married for two years but in those two years, they stayed like some strangers, away from each other.
Unintentionally, he hurt her to the point of no return. Sometimes things don't turn out the way you want. Although one should take responsibility for one's actions, however, sometimes we do things that we don't want to. Complicated situations can make a relationship more complicated and difficult.
But after reading her note in which she called him ruthless Emperor, he was left dumbfounded.

” Miss, why did you suddenly decide to come back to the Lotus pavilion? Even if there is some problem between you two, you should have at least stayed there. If you act like this, His Majesty might think that you're protesting against him.” Lu shi said while making Zhao Ming's bed.
They are now back at the Lotus Pavilion, although the maids used to clean this room daily, she needed to make the bed according to Zhao Ming's taste since she was going to sleep here.
She abruptly asked her to help her shift her luggage back to the lotus pavilion. Since it was nighttime, she told her to shift the chambers tomorrow in the morning, but she decided to act fastly and came here, leaving most of her luggage at Ji Cheng's chamber.
Zhao Ming looked at the hairpin in her hand and placed it in the silver case carefully, and placed it inside her luggage carefully. She turned to Lu shi and said, ” Well, I am indeed protesting against him.” she said indifferently.
In the past few days, she was living in that large room, all alone, and was feeling anxious because of the cold and loneliness of that room.
At first, she was feeling guilty but after some time, that pain was turned into nothing. She wanted to tell him that she is Xie Ming, not Zhao Ming. she has a limit to cry, after that limit, it's not easy to make her cry again.
” What? You're protesting against His Majesty? But why? He is your husband and loves you dearly, so why are you angry with him?” Lu shi asked, making Zhao Ming's hands to freeze in the air.
Zhao Ming laughed bitterly as this question was more uncomfortable than Jin Cheng's questions.
She sat on the chair and played with her fingers while thinking about how things turned out like this when suddenly the door of the chamber was pushed open, without any prior announcement.
Zhao Ming was startled and stood up but a frown appeared on her face when Ji Cheng entered the chamber while holding that note of paper, wearing his cold and indifferent expressions.
