Dinner time at the Empress palace
"Meirong, can't you give me a chance to make this work?"
"How many chances have I given you", she shook her hand, "I am tired, A'Jun please let me go!"
"No!" Their eyes met, he ignored her glare. "You are my Empress till the day I die then you become the Empress dowager. Get those foolish ideas out of your head".
He continued eating without sparing her a glance. Empress Lu sent him a dark glared before turning away to look at the door opposite her seat. Breathing in and out deeply to steady her temper, Empress Lu set the chopstick aside and stood. " leave once you are done eating".
Emperor Zhong grabbed her hand as she turned to leave, "What is it?" She asked in a tired tone.
Emperor Zhong glanced down at her nearly full tray of food, "hold on Meirong, please eat some more. I don't feel at ease just to let you go this way not when you only ate just a few bites".
