Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 476 - Planning To Rebel.

Wen Xu was in utter shock. When Xiao Li told her that Zhao Ming was getting close to her bodyguard and their relationship seemed suspicious, she started to doubt Zhao Ming's character.

Because Ji Cheng was not in the palace and, so she had to keep everyone and everything in check

If Zhao Ming really cheated on Ji Cheng, then she will be sent to the cold palace and will get killed eventually.

However, at that time Ji Cheng came back and before Wen Xu could do something about Zhao Ming, Ji Cheng accused Ah Leng for the treachery and got him killed.

They all believed that Ji Cheng had done this to protect Zhao Ming from the punishment and was trying to hide her grave crime.

That's why she felt more disgusted whenever she saw? Zhao Ming.

….

" Yes. The leads I have found, they all point towards Prince Zhelan. But there was no concrete evidence to prove his crime so we can't hold him accountable. " Ji Cheng said as he held Zhao Ming's hand and squeezed it a little.

He noticed that she was not in her senses right now. She was in utter shock hearing all this.

" But why didn't you say so before if this was the thing?" Wen Xu asked with a frown.

Ji Cheng sighed and replied, " I was saying this all along that the bodyguard was trying to do a rebellion and that's why I got him killed. You guys were the one who didn't believe my words. You even thought that those evidence were placed by me in his room." He gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Wen Xu looked at him and blinked her eyes as she processed her thoughts.

He is right. He was telling the truth all along but it was them who didn't believe his words.

" But why didn't you tell me about Ji Zhelan before? if you have done that then I wouldn't have blamed you ."

" I was trying to investigate things at that time. I only discovered that Prince Zhelan had something to do with it but I didn't have any evidence in my hands. I was suspicious that there was someone in the palace who was planning to rebel with them, that's why I didn't tell anyone about Prince Zhelan."

" Hmm. That's right. It would have alarmed the perpetrator if you have told everything"

Xiao Li frowned seeing the understanding expressions on Wen Xu's face.

'Was she forgetting the core of the whole argument?

She took a deep breath and said, " However, your Majesty, it doesn't change the things that sister Zhao Ming has done. Even if he was approaching her to get the information, how could she get swayed by him? She is a woman, and it's inappropriate for her to get tangled with other men."

" Hah. Consort Xiao Li, I am sorry to break your imagination, but will you tell us that, did you see me getting intimate with Ah Leng or talking mushy with him ?" Zhao Ming raised her brows as she asked Xiao Li.

Wen Xu fronwed and shouted , " What kind of disgusting words are you using? How can an Empress say something shameless blatantly?" She roared as she pointed at Zhao Ming.

Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, she agreed with them. All of this couldn't hide the crime committed by Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming ignored Wen Xu's words and kept staring at Xiao Li.

" Tell me consort Xiao Li, did you see me and Ah Leng getting involved physically or did you just assume our relationship yourself just seeing me talking to him or just because I was laughing with him?"

Xiao Li was quite surprised hearing her question. No one has asked her the details of what she has seen and the way Zhao Ming was asking was quite intimidating.

Didn't she forget her memories, then how come she is so sure about her question?

Ji Cheng understood the reason behind her questions. He looked at Xiao Li and asked, " Answer the question, Consort Xiao Li."

" Erm..I didn't see you guys together getting involved or something but he did enter your chamber. How can you explain a mere bodyguard entering your chamber?" Xiao Li's tone was visibly accusing.

" Hah. Just because he entered my chamber, you made a conclusion that I was cheating on his majesty? Really? Consort Xiao Li, if you say this way, then Feng Ju comes to my chamber many times then soon you will also accuse me of cheating on his majesty with Feng Ju." Zhao Ming scoffed sarcastically.

Ji Cheng's expressions turned sour when he heard her words. He doesn't like the imagination of her being with Feng Ju

He turned to look at Feng Ju who was standing behind him.

Feng Ju shuddered in fear when he heard Zhao Ming's words and saw Ji Cheng turning

to glare at him

' Why is she using me as an example to prove herself? Does she really want me to get kicked out of the palace?

Xiao Li pursed her lips as she doesn't have anything to retort Zhao Ming's argument with. She glanced at Ji Cheng who was nodding when he heard Zhao Ming's words and said, " You're right. Zhao Ming, you don't need to explain it to anyone. You're my wife and I believe in you. "

Zhao Ming smiled and glanced at Xiao Li, " Consort Xiao Li, now since we know that his majesty didn't kill that bodyguard to save me nor you have any evidence that I really cheated on His Majesty, so should we talk about another matter regarding this topic?"

" You said that the bodyguard used to visit my chamber and no one knows about it since he has stopped all the news. But , how did you know that he visited my chamber?" Zhao Ming folded her hands in front of her chest

" Are you a psychic that knows everything? Were you keeping an eye on me? Hmm?"
