Chapter 197 - I Just Want You And Nothing Else.

Wen Xu was perplexed when Zhao Ming used her words to accuse her.

She never expected from Zhao Ming to reverse the situation.

She looked at her as panic was apparent in her eyes, " What the hell are you saying? I truly came to visit you. I am the Empress Dowager, I can go anywhere."

" I don't need your permission to go anywhere not even your chamber. Do you get that?" her tone was sharp as she spoke.

Zhao Ming felt a tingling in her ears as she heard her high pitch voice from close.

It was annoying.

She frowned as she controlled the urge to itch her ears.

She clenched her hands together as she spoke," Mother. It's okay if you don't like me. But you can't curse me to die like this."

" I am your daughter in law. What will people say that Empress Dowager wants the Empress to be dead? Am I that worthless in your eyes." her eyes were sharp but gentle enough to feel the pain in her voice.

" I am so upset that you think like that about me. I feel like I shouldn't have woken up from the coma. Then everything would have been fine. "

" You also wanted Xiao Li to become Empress. If I hadn't woken up on time, then now Xiao Li would be the Empress," she said to Wen Xu as her eyes saddened.

Her voice became heavy as she continued to speak. In between her words, sniffling sounds can be heard.

" I am sorry I disappointed you as an Empress. If you want I can give the title of Empress to Xiao Li. I don't care about these titles. "

" I just want the affection of his highness. For him, I am ready to be the maid of him and pass on the title of Empress to Xiao Li. "

Ji Cheng's heart melted seeing her crying face.

He remembered the choice that his mother had given him when Zhao Ming was in the come.

She had asked him if she didn't wake up before her birthday banquet, then she will announce Xiao Li as the Empress.

He was helpless at that time as he had no idea when Zhao Ming will wake up and if she will wake up or not.

Moreover, they need an Empress for the harem affairs to go on as Empress is the immediate head of the harem.

Empress Dowager is above the Empress. But she doesn't interfere in the daily affairs of the harem.

If Empress Dowager wants, she can ask for reports and details of work from the Empress. She can even appoint a worker or remove the worker from the service of harem.

She was also responsible to maintain the peace in the harem. Empress is the one who deals with the budget of the harem.

Before Zhao Ming always did her best to manage the harem, but Xiao Li and Wen Xu interfered in her work.

Wen Xu always done what she wants and also fulfills the wishes of Xiao Li.

Because of Wen Xu's open spending, Zhao Ming has to reduce her spending to balance the budget.

It was hard for Zhao Ming to manage Wen Xu and Xiao Li who never listened to her.

Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming and patted her on her shoulder, " Don't think about the bad things. It's a good thing that you woke up."

" Don't think much about things. You will always be the Empress of the Ji Dynasty. No one can take your place from you." he said while gazing at her.

Zhao Ming turned to look at him and smiled.

When Xiao Li heard those words, she tightened her fists as her long nails dug deeper into her palms as she felt pain from it.

She wanted the position of Empress but she will always be the Empress? No one can take her position?

These words made her numb as she unbelievably stared at Ji Cheng.

Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng and smiled. Inwardly she was jumping as she was waiting for him to say these words.

She knew that Xiao Li wanted her position as the Empress.

What will be the most painful to see your dream scattering in front of your eye?

' Yay. That's how you play bi*ch. I don't care about being the Empress, but I won't let you happy until I am in this world.'

Zhao Ming still felt that something was lacking. She looked at Ji Cheng and said, " No your highness. I know I am not capable enough to be called the Empress."

" Xiao Li is from the Nobel background and have the royal blood in her veins. She is more capable to be the Empress than a mere daughter of the soldier like me." she pursed her lips as she spoke her words.

After that, she continued," You should give this position to Xiao Li as Mother wants it so much. I don't mind. I just want you and nothing else. " she said as she looked at Ji Cheng in his eyes.

Ji Cheng froze when he heard her words.

It's been so long since he heard her affectionate words towards him. He felt a surge of emotions brewing inside him.

Zhao Ming realized that she has spoken too much. She got so much in the act that she forgot about the emotional fool in front of her.

She felt a little regretful after seeing the touched expression of Ji Cheng.

Xiao Li was raging in anger as he looked at Ji Cheng who was admiringly gazing at Zhao Ming.

She gritted her teeth as she interjected and said to Zhao Ming, " Sister, please don't say like that. I care for you and will never dare to take your position as Empress." she said with a forced concern.

Wen Xu looked at Xiao Li and said, " What are you saying Xiao Li? You don't need to get into the drama of this stupid girl. She is just faking it."

Xiao Li smiled slightly as she spoke," No mother. His highness is right. No one can sister's place as an Emperor."

Zhao Ming glanced at Xiao Li as she wondered, ' What new trick she is planning?'

She can't understand Xiao Li's plan. This girl was too mysterious to understand.
