Chapter 80 - They Think, I Am Crazy.
When the imperial doctor left with Feng Ju, Zhao Ming was looking at the doctor's back. She furrowed her brows, " What does he mean by behaving oddly? Do they think I am crazy or what?" she looked at the back of the doctor with her furrowed brows with frustration.
'I mean seriously, they are calling her crazy. She is the most sane person here. She came from the future, for God damn it.' she scowled inwardly.
" hah", in frustration she snickered out loud. When she made a noise, Ji Cheng turned to look at her. And when he saw her mocking smile, he was confused. All this while, he thought that he knows about her completely or at least, started to know her better.
But when he saw her mocking smile, he was confused. She was always very polite to everyone, she never even scold any servant. He had never seen her smile like that, this was very new to him. He thought she was behaving like this because she had partial amnesia and needs rest. He looked at her gently and smiled.
Feeling his gaze, Zhao Ming turned around to see his gaze on her. She smiled awkwardly. She can't understand what he was thinking, but she hated his pitiful look that he was giving her.
She thought to herself, ' So they're taking me as crazy. Hmph. Now that they're thinking that I am crazy, then why not continue to do crazy stuff.' she smiled devilishly or should say creepily. If someone looks at her, she looks like someone who has been possessed.
'Technically, it shouldn't be wrong because she was not Zhao Ming. But why she was treated as crazy when Zhao Ming must be enjoying her life in my body.'
Then Ji Cheng said, " Ming, now go and rest. You need to rest. That way you could recover quickly." he said with a gentle smile.
Hearing his words, Ming got irritated, " I don't want to rest. I am fine. I want to go out and get some fresh air." she said while chiding him.
He looked at her confusingly, she was speaking in a rough way, which is not a ladylike. Usually, while speaking to the Emperor, everyone should use a formal tone and not only emperor, it's the basic manners to be followed in the palace but she was talking casually to him.
He doesn't know, how to react to this, but for some reason, he doesn't hate this feeling. In this whole palace, nobody talked to him in such a casual way. But he found it amusing to see her, so comfortable with him. She had never behaved so comfortable even when she came to the palace. She was very cautious in front of him, scared to show her worst side to him. She always talked politely and respectfully to him, she never showed her personal feelings to him.
She was scared that he may hate her if she shows her true feelings but because of this he always felt distant with her.
...
When he didn't reply to her, she raised her eyebrows at him. He looked at her and said, " You can go out but not today. You just woke up from the coma yesterday. Just rest for the few days, then you can go out." he said with a stern expression.
She heard his words and got frustrated. In her life, no one has controlled her, though he was caring for her, but she found it bothersome. She felt like, he was restricting her freedom of choice. She was an independent woman, living abroad for 7 years alone, she was used to make her decision without anyone's permission. And maybe because of this, she fought many times with Liwei.
She looked at him and said firmly, " No. I will go today. I don't want to rest anymore and I don't think that his highness should have any problem with it." she said in a sarcastic tone.
He raised his eyebrows at her and furrowed his eyes. He wanted to say 'No' to her but chose to not say anything. Then he said," Then have breakfast before you go anywhere and take Lu shi with you," he said in a cold voice, and then turned to leave.
He was worried about her, but she was taking him in the wrong way. He didn't want to scold her, so he turned to leave without saying anything.
He sighed. After waking up from the coma, Ming has become too difficult to handle. But he doesn't hate her, because he has no right to say anything.
And moreover, it's normal for women to throw some tantrums, it was weird that earlier she was too submissive. Now he wants to spoil her a little, he wanted her to his wife now, not an Empress. Because while fulfilling the duties of an Empress, she forgot to live her life. She was busy managing the affairs of the harem but her mother in law never liked her or never consider her efforts.
But now he will protect her, even if he has to go against her mother. Now he will not get into her schemes and will belive only on Ming's words.
