Chapter 717 - Tyrannical Emperor!

Chapter 717 - Tyrannical Emperor!

In the study, Ji Cheng was sitting on his royal chair and looked at the ministers who were looking down at their hands, in nervousness while doing their best to avoid his rage.

In the last few days, Ji Cheng was working as a monster and was keeping them in meetings till late and was acting as if he had been possessed. He looks the same as when he became the Emperor and was expanding its territory, working all day long.

Everyone was afraid because the scary Ji Cheng had returned who was ready to burn them with his gaze only.

Ji Cheng tapped his fingers on the table and looked at the minister beside him, " Didn't you say that you have anything to report about the L kingdom? Speak!" he said coldly, causing the man to jump in fear.

Ji Cheng's mood was already on the verge of outburst but the news he had with him, will surely cause him to burn everyone in this room alive.

The ministers gulped nervously and started speaking, " Erm...Your Majesty, according to your command, I arranged someone to check on L kingdom and their activities. After the consort Xiao Li's demise, her father was in mourning but today I found out that they have noticed a few activities on their side. "

" Seems like Prince Ji Zhelan has joined hands with him and was planning for something big…" he said hesitantly.

Ji Cheng frowned hearing his words. He can understand the mental state of Xiao Li's father since he lost his daughter. Although, she had made grave mistakes and tried to kill Zhao Ming….His mind wandered as he realized that after that incident, Zhao Ming was sent to the other world by Shen Jia otherwise she would have been dead by now.

He clenched his fists and felt the anger brewing inside him. However, there is nothing more he can do now, Xiao Li has already received her punishment for her crimes.

After she was sent to the cold palace, he received the news after a few weeks that she took her life by smashing her head against the pillar in the palace.

The palace was situated in an isolated mountain and is cold all over the year just like its name. The empty palace with only trees surrounding the palace makes it even more creepy and eerie. There are no servants, or cooks in the palace with no luxuries and there is no warmth in that place. On top of that, the consort sent there was to be given slow poison to drink daily which affects their nerves and causes them to go crazy. That's why no one could manage to stay at the cold palace for more than a month, but the death experience at that place is pure torture.

" So you're saying that Ji Zhelan joined hands with Xiao Li's father?" he asked coldly, causing the minister to fumble for words.

"Ah,...yes. Even though Your Majesty managed to curb the influence of Prince Ji's grandfather in the border area, this time he found a good backing for him. He used the weak mental state of Late Cons...Xiao Li's father to instigate an attack. Things seem quite serious this time." The minister stopped before he could call Xiao Li the consort because, before her death, her position as the consort of the Emperor was taken down due to her crimes.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and said, " For now, look into the activities of the L dynasty more. Also, ask the military personnel to make the requirements in advance."

The minister nodded.

Feng Ju, who was standing at the door, frowned when a guard came to inform him about what Zhao Ming was doing. He pursed his lips and looked at Ji Cheng who was busy in the meeting.

" Your Majesty!" Feng Ju interrupted him, causing Ji Cheng to frown.

" Why? Can't you see that I am in the meeting?" Ji Cheng snapped at him. He was working and yet he dared to interrupt him.

"There is something that you should know. It's about Her Majesty," Feng Ju responded seriously.

Ji Cheng's expressions turned dark hearing his words. He looked at the ministers who were looking at Feng Ju wondering if something happened when they heard Ji Cheng saying, " Meeting is adjourned. Follow the instructions I have given and report if anything serious develops."

-

After the ministers left Feng Ju entered and stood in front of Ji Cheng, " Now speak. It better be something important, Feng Ju. I won't tolerate the way you interrupted me again." he warned him.

Feng Ju pursed his lips and looked down before he started speaking, " Your Majesty, a guard stationed in front of your chamber just came to inform me that Her Majesty is moving back to the Lotus pavilion."

"....."

Ji Cheng didn't say anything, but his expressions turned two shades darker upon hearing this news.

" She is doing what?" he scoffed, Feng Ju didn't say anything as he knew that he heard his words and just couldn't accept the fact that she was moving.

" Anything else?" Ji Cheng waved his hand at him. His fists tightly clenched as he couldn't believe that, that woman was leaving his chamber. He left the chamber so that he didn't get to see her face but he didn't allow her to leave the chamber either.

He remembered the day when she first moved into his chamber. That was the happiest day of his life as he believed that it was for the new start of his life with Zhao Ming. But he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

The other day when he left Shen Jia's chamber, he felt uncomfortable upon hearing Zhao Ming's cry but he wasn't a saint. She not only took Zhao Ming's place but also lied to him for so long. He would have forgotten her if she had come clean to him earlier but she did not. She lied to him until he found out himself.

Feng Ju nodded and passed him a piece of paper," Her Majesty has sent this for you."

Ji Cheng took the paper which caused his brows to twitch when he read the paper. It said,

" I am leaving your chamber. You don't need to go to the guest-chamber and ignore me like a plague. I am not a ghost, I won't kill you! I wish I was a ghost so that I could haunt you in your dreams and teach you a lesson, however, I have some morals well. Live happily and try to act like a human. Tyrannical Emperor!"

"...."

'What...what...is this?' he was lost for words when he read her words.
