Xiao Li looked at Ji Cheng with her welled up eyes and were trying to not let her tears to fall. She felt extremely wronged and upset seeing the way he treated Zhao Ming.
Ji Cheng has shut her mouth by saying that no one could interfere in Zhao Ming's decisions. He is clearly showing her that Zhao Ming is the Empress and she is nobody.
She could feel that he was referring to her when he was saying this. His eyes were cold and distant, like he was talking to a stranger.
She tightly clenched her fists in anger and tried to control her expressions and not show much of expressions. She was angry and frustrated but could not show them outright.
She was feeling immense hatred and anger towards Zhao Ming but could not show it at this moment. She glared at Zhao Ming from side-eyes and pursed her lips.
