Liwei looked at the needles in her hands, then at her. She was looking at him innocently and confusedly. No one could tell from her expressions, that she is playing with him.
He got so frustrated and said, " Ming I need massage. Why did you bring needles. You don't need needles for massage. Leave them on the table." he tried to convince her to place those needles on the table.
" Liwei, I know you so stressed these days. I want to give you acupuncture which will help you to reduce your stress and pain in your body. Now don't be a stubborn and lay down on the bed. And it would be better if you that you get off your clothes. It will be easier to do it without clothes. " she said while showing him needles.
If some stranger sees this they will think that she is so concerned about him. But what she actually doing is, showing him that who's the boss here. His tricks will not going to work on her.
She smirked at his horrified expression.
He was so scared, that he backed out and he opened the door and ran towards his room. He don't want to get killed with this needle.
Ming chuckled at this side. Who would have thought that the most powerful man in this country is scared of, a small little "innocent needle."
He ran to his room, and after a while came outside wearing his suit.
Ming saw him and asked, " Where are you going? And why did you change your clothes? How will I do acupuncture in suit."
" I got some important work in the office. I need to go. I'll see you tonight. And as I am not staying home with you, you don't need to pay me back with the massage. I am going. Bye" As he said that he hurriedly went downstairs leaving Ming dazed.
When he left, Ming got out of her stupor and laughed at his childish behavior. ' Is he really that scared of needles.' She chuckled.
'How can this cold man be so cute'.
.....
Ji Dynasty.
Emperor Ji cheng went to his chamber, where his mother was waiting for him. When he reached, he greeted his mother. And sat on his throne.
" That vixen has ruined the image of the Empress and now trying to gain sympathy by drowning herself. Hmph. How could she seduce that bodyguard with her cheap looks." Wen Xu said with hatred. She is the mother in law of Zhao Ming. She doesn't like Zhao Ming instead she favors his concubine Xiao Li. She was the princess of country L and this marriage helped Ji cheng to strengthen his position. She always compared Zhao Ming with Xiao Li and humiliated her in any possible way.
When Ji cheng heard, his mother's words, his expression became cold. He didn't say anything but looked at her mother with a cold expression.
Wen Xu continued, " Now that she is dead, we need a...." before she could continue, Ji cheng shouted, " she is not dead. She will wake up soon and she had not any immoral relationship with that bodyguard." he said, with directly looking at his mother.
She also got baffled at his sudden outburst. His son has never talked to her in this manner. He never shouted at her. But now he shouted at her for that slut. She must have used black magic to cast a spell on him, that's why he is behaving like this.
"I mean, she is sick and doesn't know when she will wake up. It's been a month and she didn't wake up. We need to give the responsibility of harem to someone. As to do that the position of Empress should be given to someone else. And I want you to make Xiao Li an Empress. She is more deserved than that vixen. " she said to Ji cheng.
He looked at her and thought for a while.
" I cannot do that. The hairpin that was given to the empress is missing. And without that hairpin one cannot be bestowed the position of Empress. ". He said, with a blank expression. And continued, " Moreover, I believe she will woke up soon. So you don't need to care about these things. " he said as he stared at his mother.
" Hmph. I don't care if she wakes up or not. If she doesn't wake up by the time when the full moon occurs than I want you to announce Xiao Li as the new empress at the banquet which is in the next two weeks. Otherwise, I will take care of that girl myself. " his mother said, with determination.
He looked at her mother's behavior and didn't say anything. Instead, he just walked out of the room without saying anything.
He just now can only wish that she wakes up soon.
