Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 611 - Exactly What's Happening Inside?

After instructing the maid, Zhao Ming didn't even glance at Wen Xu and greeted Shuren once again before leaving the room.

She just casually turned around and left the room without looking back. She was feeling a little nervous because she was afraid that Wen Xu would ask her to put medicine on her wound again.

She has said the words about Zhao Ming's father to her just to shut her up, but in her heart, she always wanted to say these things. She doesn't believe that Zhao Ming's father could do something like this.

Also, she wanted to shift Wen Xu's attention to somewhere else and this was the only way where she can politely reject her and not get suspected.

Even though she is in Zhao Ming's body, she just can't differentiate between the medicine.

Every medicine has a similar texture and color. She can explain about every medicine after hearing their name since she has Zhao Ming's memories now.

But how can she differentiate between these medicines? Everything looks the same. The containers they were kept in, and their color. Also, things will go very wrong if she tries to make a medicine herself. She doesn't want to go to the confinement room in case of an accident of medical malpractice.

There are things that she can do but there are things as well which she can't do. And cooking and differentiating medicines are some of those tasks.

…..

When she went back to her chamber, she was surprised to see that Ji Cheng was already in the room.

She wasn't expecting him to come so soon.

He was sitting on the bed with his back supported against the headrest and was reading a book.

" You came so early. Did the court end already?" She asked while walking towards his side.

He looked up at her and nodded while closing the book.

" There was nothing important to check for me today, so the court adjourned early. When I came, I didn't find you anywhere. Where were you?"

She sighed and said, " I went to Grandmother Shuren's chamber. Your mother hurt her hand while cooking for her, so she wanted me to look at her wound. "

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and looked at her with hesitance.

She sighed seeing his expressions and said, " She is fine. It's just a tiny cut, nothing serious. "

She didn't say the part where Wen Xu was wailing over a tiny cut.

….

The next day, Zhao Ming was resting in her room when Lu Shi came with a tray of food in her hand.

" Why did you bring only one serving? You don't want me to eat anything today?" she asked while chuckling.

" His Majesty said that he couldn't join you for lunch today. He has some guests to attend."

Zhao Ming raised her brows and asked in confusion, " Guest? Who are these important guests that he is giving them more importance over me?" She asked half-jokingly and half-serious.

Ji Cheng has always accompanied her for lunch and it's on very rare occasions where she had eaten alone. [ Read this on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this is pirated. Support the original author, not thieves. Regards Kamlyn]

He never ignored her for his work. That's why she was a little curious about his guests.

" Miss, Master Wen Ru has arrived. He is in His Majesty's study room. That's why His Majesty couldn't accompany you for lunch." Lu shi said while pursing her lips.

Zhao Ming frowned seeing her serious expressions. Wen Ru came then why was she acting so serious?

Wen Ru was supposed to attend Grandmother Shuren's banquet but because of some reason, he couldn't reach the city by the day of the banquet.

She was expecting his arrival soon so it wasn't surprising to her. But why does Lu shi look so serious?

Without waiting, she got up from the bed and started to walk out of the room.

Lu shi was surprised and asked, " Miss, where are you going?"

Zhao Ming turned around and said casually, " To the study room. Brother Wen Ru came, how can I not meet him? And do one thing, arrange our lunch in the study room. We all can eat together. " She left the chamber without waiting for Lu shi's response.

"-_-"

Lu shi panicked when she saw Zhao Ming leaving the chamber.

" Ah, Miss, you can't go there... " She tried to stop Zhao Ming but she has already left the room.

…..

When Zhao Ming reached the study room, Feng Ju and guards were standing outside the room as usual but there was something else about their expressions.

'Why does everyone look so serious today?'

She ignored their solemn expressions and was about to push the door open when the guard stopped her.

" Your Majesty, pardon me for my bluntness but you can't go in right now."

"-_-"

Zhao Ming was speechless when the guard stopped her. What's so secretive about this meeting that she was not allowed to go in?

She frowned and looked at Feng Ju but he also turned his face to the side.

"-_-"

' What the hell is going on inside?'

She pursed her lips and said authoritatively, " Step aside." historical

" Your Majesty, you can't go…"

" I said step aside. You want to ignore my words?" She ordered coldly as she looked at the guard with her indifferent expressions.

Before guards could allow her to go in, the door opened from the inside.

" Zhao Ming. What are you doing here?"

The door opened and Ji Cheng looked at her with a troubled gaze.

She pursed her lips seeing his unwelcoming expressions.

" I heard that brother Wen has arrived, so I came to meet him. Are you guys having some serious conversation? Is that something that I am not allowed to listen to?"

She felt a little uncomfortable the way he opened the door only a little so that she can't see what's going on inside. Her curiosity grew, seeing all of them acting so mysterious.

Exactly what's happening inside?

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and his expressions turned gentle seeing her worried expressions, " You can meet him later. Now go back and have your lunch. You should not miss your meal like this."

" Why can't I …." Zhao Ming was confused as to why everyone was acting so mysteriously. It's the first time that he is trying to hide something from her.

She wants to ask why she can't join them when she hears someone's voice from inside.

And it's not Wen Ru's voice.

" Your Majesty!"
