Ji Dynasty.
In the imperial court of Ji Palace, the ministers were gathered and were waiting for Ji Cheng's command on further actions. The day Ji Cheng returned from the war, they couldn't complete the rituals for his welcome since Zhao Ming fell unconscious.
After two days, they were meeting again at the imperial court to discuss the actions to be taken after the war. The war has ended and the peace has been restored in affected areas, however, the perpetrator, Ji Zhelan who was captured after the war ended has been put in palace jail for now.
He was being treated just as he deserves. To get to the throne, he not only tried to harm Zhao Ming but also put hundreds of lives in danger by joining hands with Xiao Ruoguang, the King of L Kingdom.
If not for Ji Cheng's quick-wittedness, the Ji Empire would not have been standing high and mighty.
” Prince Ji Zhelan who has been exiled earlier has not only planned the treason against the royal crown along with the L kingdom but also attacked the Empress of Ji Dynasty, trying to tarnish the reputation of the crown. His audacious actions don't deserve any mercy.”
” In this regard, I, Ji Cheng, The Emperor of Ji Dynjatsy, announces the public execution of Prince Ji Zhelan for the attempt of treason to the crown and the announcement of war without any prior notice, breaking the laws of war.” Ji Cheng announced while looking at the ministers who bowed to him, agreeing to his decree.

” What? Public execution? Isn't that too harsh?” Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng who just returned from the court. She has only heard about such punishments but since it's going to happen for real, she was feeling uneasy.
Ji Cheng saw her worried expressions and sat beside her, he took her hand in his and said, ” You don't need to think about it. For what he has done, this was nothing. In his greed for the throne, he put hundreds of people's lives in danger and put the country in chaos with this unannounced war with the L kingdom.”
” It was King Xiao Ruoguang who backed out from the war and we managed to end this war in our favor.”
Zhao Ming pursed her lips and stared at him hesitantly. She was curious about one thing and was wondering if it was right for her to ask this or not.
” What? If you want to ask something then don't keep it inside yourself.”
” About King Xiao Ruoguang, why did he back out from the war? Since I know his personality, there must be a strong reason why he backed out suddenly. You did something, didn't you?” she looked at him curiously.
There is no way Xiao Ruogang would have betrayed Ji Zhelan and backed out from the war for no reason when they had the upper hand over them. There is something more to it.
Ji Cheng let out a low chuckle seeing her asking such a question. She doesn't let go of anything, does she?
