ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Chapter 633 - Xiao Li's Father

Ji Zhelan's expressions twisted hearing Ji Cheng's words. If Ji Cheng were to manage that area directly then it's going to be difficult for him.

" Zhelan, you can stay at the palace for a few more days if you want. After all, Grandmother Shuren adores you so much. Ah, I forgot to tell you, since that area is under me now, you can't stay at the previous dwelling of the Zhi Xue since he has been exiled and a new governor will soon take his place. I suggest you find some other place. "

As said this, Ji Cheng looked at him and snickered before leaving. Since he doesn't have any hard evidence against Ji Zhelan that he let Ah Leng in the palace or was doing something at the border, he chose the indirect way to reduce his power.

' Ji Zhelan, you have really underestimated me. '

Ji Zhelan pursed his lips as she stared at Ji Cheng leaving the study.

His expressions darkened when he was alone in the room.

" Ji..Cheng…" he clenched his fists as his eyes turned red in anger. He wasted all the work he was doing all these years.

….

Zhao Ming was staring at her reflection in the mirror as she was thinking about the words Shen Jia said.

" Thing from the past…" she murmured as she tried to remember what could be that thing.

" What thing?" She was startled when Ji Cheng entered the room and heard her words.

He stopped behind her and stared at her in confusion, " Did something happen?" He asked, seeing her dull expressions.

She shook her head and said, " Nothing. You talked to him?" She wondered if Ji Zhelan and he had a good chat.

He nodded and sat on the bed.

" You want to know what we talked about?"

She shook her head and said, " I am not stupid to put my life in danger by knowing the state's secret."

He chuckled hearing her words. But if he thinks about it, it is state's secret indeed.

He nodded and patted her head, " Very good."

" Ah, I forgot to tell you one thing." Ji Cheng straightened his back as he stared at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming raised her brows and asked, " What is it?"

" I received a letter that the king of L country is coming to the palace. He is supposed to arrive at the palace after two weeks."

Zhao Ming frowned as she remembered that the king of L country is Xiao Li's father. So her father is coming? Why?

" After two weeks? Mother's punishment is ending in a week, isn't it?" She asked as she suddenly remembered that Wen Xu's punishment period is about to end.

Since Grandmother Shuren came quite late, she didn't get much time to handle the position of Empress Dowager, but it was enough to torture Wen Xu.

Grandmother Shuren has made Wen Xu's life a pure hell.?When Wen Xu served Shuren, she not only has to clean her room but also cook three meals a day for her. And if it tastes bad, she has to redo everything.

Not only that, she has to wash Grandmother Shuren's clothes, and also prepare her bath water.

She has never seen Wen Xu be scared of someone like this. Now Wen Xu gets goosebumps even hearing Shuren's voice.

Along with Wen Xu, Xiao Li's punishment period is supposed to end as well. However, this decision is under Zhao Ming's authority to give her the position of Head Consort back or not.

And she hasn't made the decision yet.

…..

After a week, the court was held in which only the consorts and a few important court members were present to give Empress Dowager her position back.

It was not only the day when Wen Xu's punishment was over but Xiao Li's as well since they were provided Red letters together.

Grandmother Shuren was also present but she was supposed to go back after the ceremony.

Ji Zhelan left the palace a few days ago. Zhao Ming doesn't know why but Ji Cheng was spending nights at the study these days and seems to be quite busy.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips seeing Wen Xu's condition. She looked lethargic because of Shuren's torture all this while but her face lit brightened up as soon as she was given the crown of Empress Dowager again.

Shuren snorted seeing her smile. She knows that Wen Xu will never be able to fix her greedy character.

Xiao Li was also sitting among the other consorts with her sullen expressions. She stared at Jia shi with dark expressions as if she wanted to swallow her whole. Wen Xu was crowned as the Empress Dowager again but she was not given the position of Head Consort yet.

Only her monthly budget has been approved but the decision of her taking the position of Head Consort was on hold.

After the ceremony ended, they sent off Grandmother Shuren. Ji Cheng went back to his study for work, just as Zhao Ming was about to go to her chamber, she heard a familiar voice.

" Zhao Ming"

Zhao Ming stopped in her steps and her lips curled up in a smile.

She turned around and said, " Empress Dowager."

Wen Xu looked around and saw nobody around, she came closer to her and said, " Did you think that you could do anything to me? You must have forgotten that I am the Empress Dowager. You can't get rid of me. I will not let you live in peace."
