" Don't worry. I won't punish you for this. I am not a cold-hearted person. I understand that because I have woken up you cannot get the title of Empress." she said with a cold smile on her face and held her shoulder with her hand. She was ready to make Xiao Li humiliate with her words as she always slays in this field.

  She never bothered with anyone if the other party ever tries to mess with her. That's why Xie Xinyi tried her best to get Xie Ming out of the Xie Mansion. If she were to stay longer than she knows that Xie Ming would have made her life hell.

  After Xie Ming's father brought Xie Rouxi into the Mansion, she hated the duo of both mother and daughter to the core. She hated the fake masks that they always wore. That's why she even took such a big step to leave the Xie Mansion.

  When Zhao Ming was talking to Xiao Li, suddenly she saw a woman coming towards them with her two sidekicks……I mean her two personal maids. She recognized that lady as the Empress Dowager as she dressing lavishly and others were very ordinary. Though she could not see her clearly, she assumed her as Empress Dowager as she was coming from the Empress Dowager's palace.

  Though she doesn't remember much about Zhao Ming's past, but she could remember her mother in law very clearly though she cannot recognize her face as it was a blur in her memories. But she knows that her mother-in-law had humiliated and hurt the most. She was her cruel mother in law, whom Zhao Ming has seen her as her Mother. As Zhao Ming's mother has died early, she always tried to find the Mother figure in the Empress Dowager Wen Xiao.

  And Xiao Li is not only the princess of L country but she was also a distant niece of Wen Xiao. But she always liked this child because she was beautiful and elegant. And moreover, her family background was also beneficial for Ji Cheng. So she was very delighted that Ji Cheng got married to her……

  BACK TO PRESENT.

  When Zhao Ming saw Wen Xiao coming towards them, a glinted of joy showed in her eyes. An idea came to her mind, so she calmed her emotions.

  Then she looked at Xiao Li with her sad and weak expression. The expression she has right now is vulnerable and her body was also looking weak.

  Then she spoke with a heavy voice to Xiao Li,

  "I heard it from Lu shi that how Empress Dowager gave the ultimatum to the Emperor. I am sorry, that you couldn't get the position of Empress. I didn't mean to hurt you. I am sorry."

  "I even feel sorry towards Empress dowager as I wouldn't able to make Empress Dowager trust me as the Empress and that's why she chose to accept you as the daughter in law and not me. I always think of her as my mother but……" she said with sadness in her eyes but a smile was placed on her lips.

  Her lips quivered, she bit her lips as she was in a lot of pain. She was looking pitiful. Whoever looks at, would think that she was trying to control her emotions and a tear made it's way to her cheeks.

  Xiao Li was confused with the sudden change of attitude in Zhao Ming. She just stared blankly at her and even felt irritated. She gritted her teeth in anger and thought, ' This slut was deliberately trying to humiliate me by saying that I didn't get the crown of Empress. She was trying to say that, while she was alive I cannot take the crown from her'.

  Xiao Li didn't know that the Empress Dowager was there, so she tried to be a good girl in front of Zhao Ming. She didn't believe that she changed her forgiving attitude after waking up from the coma.

  She looked at her Zhao Ming and said, " Sister, it's not your fault. It's only normal for you to wake up, if not I will feel very upset." She said with a delicate smile on her face. She knew that can't afford to show her real face in front of Zhao Ming yet.

  Though she somehow knows that Ming knows about her schemes but she won't dare to say anything outright if Xiao Li keeps her mouth shut. Zhao Ming has always given her priority to her relationships. Other things came secondary. So Xiao Li was sure that sooner or later, this throne of Empress will be hers.
