Capítulo 414: I will remove you from your position.

Ji Cheng looked at Wen Xu with his intimidating gaze when he saw the way she was defending Xiao Li. This time, he really lost it when his mother tried to force Zhao Ming to give up her powers. 

Those powers were originally hers because she is the Empress. An Empress without her powers is just like a soldier without his weapons. 

How can his mother ask Zhao Ming to give up her powers? Didn't they bully her enough when he was not around? When he is finally able to give her what she deserves, they want her to give up? 

The  remaining  respect that he had for his mother disappeared seeing how she was ridiculing Zhao Ming earlier and how she is defending Xiao Li now. 

Since, his mother has stated her stand, it's high time when he shows her that he is an Emperor, not her puppet. Just because he was following her till now, it doesn't mean he will do so from now as well.
