Chapter 502 - When Will She Wake Up?
Chapter 502 - When Will She Wake Up?
When Zhao Ming heard Wen Xu's words about Zhao Ming's father, she felt strange.
Her body started burning up and she started sweating all over. She wasn't feeling anything.
' She feels...empty.'
Zhao Ming just stared at her hand in a daze as she was trying to calm down. She doesn't know if she was drugged or what, but she was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
But she didn't eat or drink anything yet, how can she be drugged?
"Zhao Ming."
" Are you okay?" Ji Cheng was getting worried about her. She was not responding and was looking rather pale.
Wen Ru got worried as well. She was looking very pale and her lips had become dry as well.
" Tsk..what a drama. Now she can't retort anything, so she stooped so low to act sick." Wen Xu shook her head in annoyance seeing Zhao Ming's drama.
Ji Cheng glared at her, but before he could say anything, Zhao Ming stood up suddenly.
Without waiting for anything, she started walking towards the door.
" Zhao Ming, where are you going? "
Ji Cheng worriedly stood up and wanted to support her. She looked extremely weak.
She was staggering and couldn't walk properly.
He tried to touch her, but she slapped his hand away and said in a heavy voice, " I ..am fine. I am going back. I am not hungry. You can enjoy your dinner."
Ji Cheng pursed his lips seeing her indifference behavior.
"Zhao Ming." His voice was extremely gentle which made Xiao Li more annoyed.
She was burned by soup but he didn't care about her but he was getting restless seeing Zhao Ming's obvious drama.
" I am going back." Without waiting for anything she started walking towards the gate to go back to the room.
Her body was feeling extremely weak and her breathing has also become heavy. She doesn't know why she was feeling this way.
Ji Cheng was dumbfounded when she walked away from him leaving him in a confused state.
'Thump'
His eyes widened in shock when Zhao Ming who was trying to go back, fell on the floor with a loud thump.
"Zhao Ming. " He shouted and hurriedly went to support her.
He walked up to her and squatted down beside her. He took her in his arms, her eyes were closed and she was unconscious.
His heart skipped a beat. He got scared seeing her in this condition.
He patted her face which had turned white, "Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming."
"Brother, you should take her back to the room. I will call the imperial doctor to check on her." Wen Ru has already walked to them and said worriedly to Ji Cheng.
Without waiting for anything, he took her in his arms and walked back to his chamber.
Zho Ming was laying in his arms lifelessly. He got scared as he remembered the time when she was unconscious and doctors said that it's hard for her to get up.
That was the scariest time of his life.
….
In the room, he laid her on the bed carefully and covered her with a light blanket.
" His Majesty."
Ji Cheng turned around to see the imperial doctor standing at the entrance.
" Come fast and check on her. She...she fell unconscious all of sudden. You must wake her up." Ji Cheng urged her to wake her up.
He was scared that she might go unconscious for long again.
The imperial doctor who accompanied Wen Ru pursed his lips but nodded anyway.
He walked to Zhao Ming whose face was pale and she looked lifeless.
He picked up her hand and checked her pulse. He checked her eyes and his lips twitched when he couldn't understand why she fainted.
There was nothing wrong with her which can make her unconscious.
" Erm..his majesty, I think Her Majesty is just stressed. Did something happen because of which she got so stressed?"
Ji Cheng pursed his lips remembering the argument with Wen Xu earlier. But they had argued many times. He couldn't understand why she fainted all of sudden.
" Yes." However, he acknowledged that something happened which can make her stressed.
"-_-"
The old man was speechless when Ji Cheng gave him a one-word answer. He sighed and said, " I think her majesty has become like this because of stress. I will give her some medicine which will help to replenish her energy."
" However, you have to make sure that she doesn't get stressed. Though it's been some time since she has woken up, her body is still weak. "
" She needs to have proper rest and should not take any stress."
Ji Cheng nodded and asked worriedly," Then when will she wake up?"
" His Majesty, you don't need to worry. Her majesty will wake up by morning. She is just weak and needs some rest. You don't need to worry about it so much."
After the doctor went back, Ji Cheng stood beside the bed looking at her pale face.
" Zhao Ming…" he was feeling extremely helpless at this point.
" Brother, please don't think too much. The doctor is right, she just needs rest. You should not worry about anything."
Wen Ru patted Ji Cheng's shoulder asking him to relax.
Wen Ru left the room with a sigh. In the series of incidents, he didn't get to talk to Zhao Ming. If Wen Xu and Xiao Li hadn't insisted on joining them, this might not have happened.
He wanted to ask her if she can help him manage his shop, the royal brush. That day, when she uncovered Yu Kang's embezzling he was really impressed by her.
Generally, women are not allowed to work in the field of men like a business but he doesn't think like that.
He only cares about talent. And Zhao Ming seems to have some knowledge and different ideas about managing the business.
It would be very helpful if she can help him manage his shop. However, before he could discuss with her about this matter, all of this happened.
He sighed and left the palace.
….
In the room, Ji Cheng laid beside Zhao Ming while holding her tight in his embrace.
It's already midnight and she hasn't woken up yet. She didn't even have dinner.
" Zhao Ming, please don't scare me like this. " He hugged her tighter and gave her a light peck on her forehead.
…
Zhao Ming's face turned white as she was feeling a sharp pain in her head. Her whole body was trembling due to excessive pressure and pain.
" Ah...h.a" she was whimpering in pain but couldn't open her eyes.
Ji Cheng was scared to see her like this. He thought that she was having a dream, so he patted her head trying to relax her.
" Shh..calm down. Relax. I am here. " He hugged her and rubbed her back lovingly.
