Chapter 718 - Stupid Emperor! (2/2)
He glared at her, but unlike the last time, she didn't tear away from her gaze and stared into his eyes, causing him to notice her boldness.
Lu Shi who was cleaning the table beside Zhao Ming's bed also got scared and almost broke the statue in her hand. She froze there, not knowing what to do.
Feng Ju, who was standing out of the chamber, saw Lu Shi standing there motionlessly, pursing his lips, he wondered why is she so dense. He stood at the door and waved his hand slowly to make her notice him.
Lu shi blinked and seeing his signal, she bowed and quietly left the room, leaving the couple in the room alone.

After a few minutes, Zhao Ming didn't say anything and just stared at him and didn't even avert her gaze just because she was nervous or afraid. Although it was taking all of her energy, she wanted to show him that she is not someone to mess with either.
Unlike the last time, she held onto herself and didn't let him show her weak side. That day she was already tired and weak and the huge revelation took a big toll on her. However, after crying for days, she realized it's time to collect herself and start moving.
Seeing that he was not speaking, she finally broke the silence and said, ” Your Majesty, what brings you here?” she asked politely, which caught him by surprise.
He was not surprised that she did not address him by his name but she was speaking in a low tone and was being so formal which startled him.
He scoffed and raised his hand to show her the note and said, ” What is this? What are you planning now? Huh? Ruthless Emperor? How am I ruthless?” he asked with his cold indifferent voice.
Zhao Ming didn't say anything and just smiled hearing his words. He frowned and wondered what was so funny about it.
” Well, seems like I was mistaken. You're not 'Ruthless Emperor', you're just...Stupid Emperor!” she said with her serious expressions causing his expressions to turn two shades dark.
Ji Cheng knitted his brows and stared at her, trying to read her thoughts but unlike the bright playful Zhao Ming, she looked different. As if, he hasn't seen this side of her yet.
He remembered that she has been bold and brave since she came into this world but the boldness she was carrying at this moment was way stronger than before.
