Chapter 79 - She Was Indeed Behaving Oddly.
Ji Cheng knows, that she needs time and she just cannot forgive him for his old deeds just like this. He sighed.
He called Feng Ju in when he arrived in the room, he bowed and greeted them, " Greetings to the His highness and The Empress." he respectfully bowed in front of them.
With Ji Cheng's permission, he stood up. And said, " Any orders, highness?"
JI Cheng didn't say anything to him in front of Ming, instead, he stood up and went near to Feng Ju. And asked in a low voice," Who else knows that Ming has woken up?"
He doesn't want to Ming hear their conversation.
Feng Ju replied," Your highness, only a few people know about the Empress. I have stopped the news from getting leaked before letting you know." he said in a low voice.
Ji Cheng looked at him and nodded in acknowledgment.
" Call the Imperial doctor. And let him check on Ming's condition," he said while looking at the Ming, who was sitting at the bed while carefully observing her surroundings.
She was busy thinking, if she could sell these antiques, she would get richer than Liwei. 'Hmph', she snorted in her heart. " If that Xinyi will get to know, that I became an Empress, she will die out of anger. But, this palace, has nothing, what will I do. There are no malls, no phone, no wifi or not even a TV. How could I pass my time. " Thinking all this, she was in despair. ' That Zhao Ming must be enjoying her life, in my body. Humph'. she snorted in her heart.
Feng Ju nodded at Ji Cheng's words and went back.
Ji Cheng went to Zhao Ming and sat beside her, " Ming, I am glad that you woke up."
He said while looking into her eyes affectionately.
His sudden confession, startled her. She didn't expect, that the cold Emperor like him, could speak sweet words in such a gentle tone.
She can't understand the situation. Was her memories from the real Zhao Ming was true or the man in front of her was not as bad as she thinks? She looked at him and fell into contemplation.
She snickered inwardly, ' But I am not glad to be here'. But showed a polite smile to him and didn't say anything, she can't dare to be rude with the emperor. She loves her life the most and do not want to die, for the second time.
After a while, he left the room and sent Lu shi to help Zhao Ming to change and get ready. So that the doctor can check on her, later.
He was strolling in the garden in front of her chamber when Feng Ju came with the doctor.
Imperial doctor: " Greetings to his highness" he greeted while bowing his body at a 90-degree angle.
Ji Cheng nodded in acknowledgment.
At that time, the gate of Chamber opened, for them to enter. Ji Cheng went in followed by the Imperial doctor and Feng Ju.
Lu shi stood at the door to welcome them.
When Ji Cheng entered the room, he saw Ming sitting at the edge of the bed. She was wearing, light pink colored robe, paired with beautiful hairpins and other accessories. Her hair was fixed with so many pins, and they were half-opened. She was looking beautiful.
Ji Cheng froze on his spot and kept staring at her.
Zhao Ming thought, that her skin has become much softer than before. And the condition of her skin is much better than before.
'haish, this Zhao Ming has no makeup products or face packs but still, her skin is much better than mine. But nevermind, because now it's my skin, soft and smooth.
She smiled. Xie Ming was an easy person to get along, but in the past, she was more like a rude girl because she has that Xinyi to ruin her mood every day. But now, she has experienced so many things, that now she had again become the girl who was loved by her mother. Now she became the same innocent and playful Ming. Rather than cold and arrogant Ming.
She decided to just enjoy her life as Empress and would not do anything to others until they will not provoke her first. If someone tried to be smart with her, then she will not leave them easily. She was not like Zhao Ming to get bullied easily, she would rather be a bad person rather than being a weakling.
...
Ji Cheng walked to her, she stood up when she noticed him. He looked at her and waved her to sit down.
Then he asked the Imperial doctor to check on her. The doctor came forward and start checking her pulse. He looked at Zhao Ming and then again focused on her pulse.
After a while, he turned to Ji Cheng and said,
" Your highness, it's a miracle. The Empress is fine now. By yesterday, there was no hope for her to wake up but now her meridians were cleared and she was showing the signs of flowing energy properly. We just need to take care of the meals of her highness, and she needs immense rest to recuperate her energy. After a few days, she will be fine"
The doctor said with a smile on his face.
He was inwardly thanking God to wake her up because if she hadn't woken up, Ji Cheng would have sent him to the coma itself.
When Ji Cheng heard this he was delighted and nodded with a smile on his face.
" But,..." his smile was stopped as the doctor spoke. Ji Cheng squinted his eyes at the doctor and waited for him to continue.
The doctor spoke, "But his highness, the Empress might have forgotten some things as I asked her, she doesn't remember the day before her accident and other few things. And I assume she may have partial amnesia, where she has forgotten a few parts of her memory. That's why she was behaving oddly as Feng Ju described. " Ji Cheng turned to look at Feng Ju coldly.
The later looked down, dared not to make eye contact.
Noticing Ji Cheng's cold gaze, the doctor quickly explained, " But there is no problem. It can be just a side effect of remaining in a coma for more than a week. This is temporary and her highness will get fine soon. We just had to take care of her and don't let her take the stress. Because it may put pressure on her brain and she may suffer brain hemorrhage because of it." he said avoiding eye contact with Ji Cheng.
The aura around Ji Cheng suddenly became chilly. He looked at the doctor with his piercing cold gaze, and asked," Okay, now go back."
Feng Ju escorted the doctor out. Ji Cheng looked at the Ming, who was sitting at the bed with uninterested expression on her face. He sighed.
'She was indeed behaving oddly.'
He was worried about her, though he wants her to forget all the bad memories from the past, but he was happy that she was fine. And with his care, she will become healthy. He just needs to take care of her.
