Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 719 - It's Because Of Your Attitude.

When Ji Cheng returned to his chamber, he looked around and noticed how empty it looks since she was not there anymore.

It's been days since he came back to this room but coming here made him feel how cold it is without her in this room. He can't believe that his life has come to this point where he was hesitating to come to his chamber. He sat on the bed and caressed the bed where he used to sleep while holding her in his arms and now...everything feels like a lie.

He glanced at her side of the bed and pursed his lips in a thin line. He laughed bitterly remembering her words that she said to him a while ago. It was her first time being so cold to him and was speaking as if she doesn't care about anything.

" Yes. You're a Stupid Emperor. You ignored your wife with whom you were together for two years and let her suffer while you were busy in political affairs. No matter how busy you are, it was your fault for not handling things right. However, when she died and somehow managed to survive and went to another world, you want her to come back to you. Why? What right do you have to say this? Ji Cheng seems like you're confused about something." she said while staring at him coldly.

" If not for Aunt Shen Jia who sent her away from here, she would have died already. You would have been mourning over her death and not demanding to bring her back."

" Also, don't take my tears for granted. If you're treating me as a stranger, then at least respect me. I am not your consort who legally wedded to you and would gladly accept your cold attitude towards me. I accepted you wholeheartedly, despite knowing your insecurities and weaknesses, but your love was so weak that you couldn't even give me a chance to explain myself."

" And you asked why I didn't tell you everything beforehand? It's because of your attitude. I was afraid about your extreme reaction upon finding out the truth and that's what happened. Ji Cheng, I am not asking you to understand me because I know that it's not something simple to accept."

" I won't even ask you to forgive me and live together like before. However, don't treat me like trash either, before being your Empress in name, I am also a human. I am a fu&king human who has feelings as well. I also died just like Zhao Ming, I also didn't know that things would turn out like this, so at least don't treat me like I am some scheming bitch." she said while looking at him coldly making him clench his fists.

" I won't bother you from now on, so you can go back to your chamber. Since things turn out like this, let's just pretend as a couple in front of others since we have duties to execute as well.?Goodnight. You can go back now." After saying her words, she turned around and told him to go back leaving him dumbfounded.

He went there to deal with her but when she started speaking, his mouth sealed like glue. He couldn't even say anything and just came back to his chamber without speaking a single word.

-

He took a deep breath and rubbed his face with his palms tiredly. He can't believe that things have turned out like this.

" Zha...Xie Ming, have you ever been true to me?" he murmured while thinking if she was just pretending in front of him or has she ever been true to him?

-

Zhao Ming was having tea in her chamber while reading a book that she asked Lu shi to bring for her secretly. It's been a long time since she has touched any fiction romance books. The last time when she was reading one, she was caught by Ji Cheng.

However, she was now alone in this room, who can stop her? She snickered bitterly and continued to read the book while looking at the snow outside in between.

" Your Majesty, Master Wen Ru has come to see you." The maid standing outside announced.

She looked up and was surprised that Wen Ru had come to the palace. It's been a long since she had seen him.

She covered the book with a white cloth which Lu shi had given her earlier for embroidering and looked towards the entrance of the room. historical

" Greetings to Her Majesty!" Wen Ru greeted her, as soon as he entered the chamber with a bright smile on his lips.

She smiled and stood up to welcome him. After the formalities, he took a seat opposite to her, while Lu shi came forward to serve him a cup of tea.

" Brother Wen Ru, how come you're here?" Zhao Ming asked when she couldn't control her curiosity.

" It's been days since I visited the palace. Also, I had something to discuss with His Majesty."

" However, before visiting his Majesty, I found out that you're back at the lotus pavilion. So I decided to drop by before going to the palace to meet him."

" But why are you here? Don't tell me you guys are fighting again?" he asked in worry. He was happy for them that they were getting along but now they were back at it again.

His brother was changing and so was their relationship. What went so wrong that she is back at the lotus pavilion?

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and looked at him seriously, not knowing what to say. " We're not fighting. He was very busy in the last few days, so I just came here to not disturb his work."

He nodded. Although he wasn't satisfied with her response and could see that something was going with them, however, he decided to let it go for now.

" Even if you guys have fought, don't take his words to heart. Sometimes he can be ruthlessly sharp with his words but he doesn't mean any of them. He has a very bad temper and says whatever he wants when he is angry. However, after his anger disappears, he doesn't even remember what he said and why." he tried to save the situation.

She chuckled and said, " Well, unfortunately, I don't have a good temper either. I am not a type to stay quiet and listen to other party's sharp words either. " she said blatantly causing him to shut up.

-

Ji Cheng who was waiting for Wen Ru at his study frowned seeing that it's been so long yet he didn't come yet to meet him.

He turned to Feng Ju and asked, " Where is Wen Ru? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Feng Ju pursed his lips and bowed to him before answering, " His Majesty, Master Wen Ru has gone to visit Her Majesty at lotus pavilion. He has said that he will come later after meeting with her."

Ji Cheng raised his brows upon hearing his words and stared at him coldly. " What? You're saying that he went to meet her first, keeping me here waiting for him?" he asked coldly, confirming the situation here.

Feng Ju pursed his lips as he wasn't sure how to respond to him. He was looking at him accusingly as if it was him who had sent Wen Ru to Zhao Ming's chamber than coming to the palace.

' Master Wen Ru, why did you do this?' Feng Ju pursed his lips and blamed Wen Ru for not thinking it through.
