Chapter 417 - She Doesn\'t Deserve All This Happiness.

Zhao Ming felt her face burning up due to embarrassment. She stood in front of the mirror as she picked up the wooden comb in nervousness and started combing her hair in daze.

She did not dare to turn around and glance at him.

Ji Cheng chuckled seeing her embarrassed reaction. He sat up straight on the bed as he said, " Come in."

Feng Ju who was standing outside, opened the door cautiously and entered the room. He bowed to Ji Cheng and then Zhao Ming.

However, when he saw the gaze in Ji Cheng\'s eyes, he felt his body stiffening. Ji Cheng was glaring at him with killing intent.

Feng Ju swallowed his saliva and said, " His highness, I have informed Minister Ri to issue the Red Letters to Empress Dowager and Consort Xiao Li. However, he is asking for a reason to mention in the letter especially of Empress Dowager."

The red letter is an official warning letter which needs a reasonable explanation to issue it. And since it is for Empress Dowager who herself holds the prominent position in the palace, it\'s not easy to issue a Red Letter to her.

There should be a valid reason for it. If things didn\'t go as he wanted, Wen Xu can call the meeting of ministers to discuss this issue.

Though he is an Emperor but even an Emperor cannot run his reign with the disagreement and chaos in his court.

Ji Cheng\'s expressions darkened when he heard Feng Ju\'s words. He nodded and said, " Ask him to meet me tomorrow in my study. I will talk to him about this matter. But proceed with? the hold on their budget for now and tell him that I will give him the reason tomorrow and we can issue the red letter later."

Zhao Ming saw the serious look on Ji Cheng\'s face. She turned to look at Feng Ju who seemed to be surprised as well.

Now she started to wonder what Red Letter could be? Why was everyone so scared about it?

" Yes His highness. " Feng Ju replied and was about to go out when Ji Cheng said, " Don\'t shout like this from next time if the door is closed."

" You can simply talk to me later."

Feng Ju was puzzled when he heard Ji Cheng\'s words. He couldn\'t understand what he meant until he saw Zhao Ming\'s flushed expressions.

His eyes widened in shock upon realization. He bowed in front of him and said," I am sorry that I disturbed you. I am sorry." he apologized many times before leaving.

It was the first time he has apologized so many times. But he was so scared that he might have interrupted something important.

Zhao Ming was bewildered seeing his reaction. It was too extreme the way he reacted.

However, she couldn\'t help but feel embarrassed seeing him apologizing.

When Feng Ju came out of the room, he shut the door behind him as he took a deep breath.

\' Did I interrupt them?\'

He was scared at the thought that he might have disturb them while they were making the future heir of the Ji Dynasty. That would be the state crime if that happened.

His expressions turned petrified as he was afraid that Ji Cheng might punish her tomorrow for interrupting them like this.

Lu shi who just came back to Lotus pavilion, looked at him and asked, " Why are you standing here like this?"

She looked at him questioningly as he was standing in front of the door and was taking heavy breaths.

He was still scared of Ji Cheng\'s killing intent that he had just seen.

Hearing Lu shi\'s words, he looked over her and straightened his back.

" Ahem. Nothing. " He walked out of the pavilion like nothing happened but deep down he was too scared to knock on the door next time.

" What\'s wrong with him?" Lu shi shook her head as she had no idea why he was behaving strangely.

...

Inside the chamber, Zhao Ming put down the comb and walked to the bed as she sat beside Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng looked at her with interest as she sat down. He was hoping to continue from where they stopped but Zhao Ming changed the topic and asked, " What is Red Letter?"

" Lu shi and Feng Ju were both shocked when they heard that you are issuing red letters to Empress Dowager and Xiao Li. Is it red in colour that\'s why it\'s called red letter?"

"-_-"

Ji Cheng was shocked when he heard her question. He was puzzled as to how she made this kind of conception.

He chuckled and said," Red letters are not called red letters because it\'s red in color. In fact, the word red is used to signify the warning attached to this official letter. Giving someone a red letter means that you\'re officially warning them and they will be removed from their position if they received another letter. " he explained to her as he looked at her seriously.

Zhao Ming\'s mouth opened in shock. She didn\'t expect it to be this serious.

She has thought that Ji Cheng was only bluffing about removing Wen Xu from her position. But he actually made up his mind to send them red letters.

" Oh. I never thought that it could be this serious." she said as she nodded her head.

However, she still felt uncomfortable about it. She doesn\'t know why he was supporting her like this and why now?

She has heard stories in the palace from different sources and some from Lu shi that in the past, Ji Cheng never glanced at her.

Neither he said anything to Wen Xu and Xiao Li? despite knowing what was happening in the palace. It was sure that he was aware of the? things that were happening in the past because he said that he knows what Wen Xu has done.

But why has he never said anything to them before? And why was he supporting her now?

She felt this unsettling feeling inside her heart because she knows that Zhao Ming has loved him so much yet she never? get to see this side of him

She died without knowing that he also loved her. She doesn\'t know what went wrong between them but she felt uncomfortable thinking that the love that belongs to Zhao Ming was being showered at her.

\' She does not deserve all this happiness.\'
