Jingzhe's beseeching gaze looked to the front, hopeful that any of the Jun's or Chi's on the plane would come and rescue him from the insane empress mother.
Jingzhe was adamant to consider her as anything other than insane because she was back at it. Asking him to help her plan the murder of the empress.
"Empress mother, I thought we were just throwing out random ideas." He laughed nervously. "You have so many people that you employ, I am sure that one of them can come up with ideas...."
"Shhh!" The empress mother placed her hand over his mouth to keep him from talking. "But I only want you boy wonder."
Jingzhe shuddered. The words sounded so wrong, and very frightening.
The empress mother threw her head back and she laughed. "You are so easy to tease. Don't worry, I don't want you in a romantic or sexual way, I mean that I want your brains. I want you to work for me.
