Chapter 759 - Curse Is Over!!
Chapter 759 - Curse Is Over!!
After the Imperial Physician left, Wen Ru glanced at Ji Cheng who was looking at Zhao Ming worriedly and was holding her hand in his, caressing her face with the other hand.
He sighed and left the room to give some privacy to the couple, to not disturb their moment. Once outside, he looked at Feng Ju and said, " Make sure the Imperial Physician doesn't spread the news about Her Majesty's pregnancy. The spread of this news at this moment can be dangerous for her."
" Also, station more guards around the main palace and the chamber. Make sure every food should be checked by a maid before it reaches Her majesty. Her safety is our priority."
" Yes, Master Wen Ru. I will take care of everything."
-
Inside the chamber, Ji Cheng was sitting on the bed by Zhao Ming's side and caressed her abdomen gently. Her face was still pale and she wasn't waking up from her sleep.
The imperial physician has told him that Zhao Ming's pulse is low and the extreme exhaustion can danger the child. If she doesn't wake up in 24 hours, it can be dangerous to the child.
" I will not let anything happen to my child. I will save..both of you, at any cost." He murmured while caressing her abdomen and leaned in to kiss her forehead.
-
Shen Jia stood beside Zhao Ming's bed on a chair and checked her pulse. Ji Cheng stood beside her and watched Shen Jia, whose face was pale and she looked weak herself but she came to see Zhao Ming when she received her news of returning.
After the imperial physician left, he asked a maid to bring Shen Jia to him. He wants her to check on Shen Jia and see what's wrong with her.
After a while, she opened her eyes and glanced at Zhao Ming's colorless face, and sighed weakly. " She has put herself in danger this time."
The ritual is dangerous itself and doing it when pregnant, it could have killed her during the process. However, the god must have pitied her to keep her alive after going through this life-threatening experience.
" Aunt Shen, please do something. You said that everything will be fine. We just got back together, I can't lose her now." Ji Cheng said urgently, seeing her looking at Zhao Ming weakly.
She didn't say anything and placed her hand on her forehead. She closed her eyes again and chanted some hymns while Ji Cheng stood behind her in confusion.
He saw a yellow light emanating from her hand and hovering around Zhao Ming's head. After a few moments, she removed her hand and panted to catch her breath. She was exhausted and sweat beads were visible on her forehead, along with her pale complexion.
Shen Jia stood up to face him, " Your Majesty, Zhao Ming has gone through a life-threatening ritual. However, she survived, she is alive. That's a miracle itself."
" She is in deep slumber because of the after-effects of the ritual and the pregnancy. She is exhausted to the point that it can endanger her child's life. However, I have transferred some of my energy to her, it will help her to get through the dangerous period. I am going to my chamber to take some medicine for her that will help her retrieve her energy."
" You don't need to worry. She has gone through a dangerous period. She is now just sleeping. However, you need to make sure that she will take her meals on time and doesn't compromise with her health."
He nodded and bowed to her which shocked Shen Jia. " Your Majesty, why are you bowing to me? It's not appropriate."
He stood up, and smiled, " Aunt Shen Jia, I apologize for being rude to you before. I should have been grateful to you for saving Zhao Ming but I did not consider what you did and had said many rude things to you."
" If not for you, Zhao Ming wouldn't have been by my side. You have risked your life to save her, bowing to you is not enough to show my gratitude to you."
Shen Jia smiled and shook her head. " You don't need to thank me. I did what I had to do."
Ji Cheng watched Shen Jia as she left the chamber with the help of a maid. After transferring some of her energy to Zhao Ming, she looked, even more, weaker and couldn't even walk without support.
-
After feeding the medicine to Zhao Ming brewed by Shen Jia, Ji Cheng went to his study to meet Wen Ru who was waiting for him.
" Brother, what's happening? Where were you all these days? Do you know what happened in the country in your absence?" As soon as the guard opened the door of the study for him, Wen Ru walked to him and stood in front of him.
Seeing his worried expressions, Ji Cheng turned to Feng Ju who closed the door after getting his signal.
After the door was closed, Ji Cheng and Wen Ru were left alone in the room. Ji Cheng didn't say anything and walked towards his study table.
He pulled the chair to sit on it. As he was making himself comfortable, Wen Ru was looking at him impatiently.
He wanted an answer. Where was he? He had searched the whole Ji city and nearby areas but they were nowhere to be found.
And now they were found in the palace near the pond side? How? No guard saw him entering the palace then how?
Ji Cheng took a deep breath as he finally got a moment to relax. After he regained his consciousness, he was worried about Zhao Ming and the baby inside her.
He didn't even get the time to drink a glass of water, leave alone eating anything. He wasn't in the mood to eat anything anyway.
He doesn't want to eat anything until Zhao Ming wakes up. After gathering himself, he finally readied himself to face Wen Ru who was sitting opposite to him, staring at him accusingly.
"You're asking where was I? Shouldn't you know what happened to Zhao Ming and I the other day?" Rather than answering, he threw another question at him.
Since he can't tell him the truth, he needed to know what else happened behind him to make a story as well. Although this was not something he prefers, in this situation, it is inevitable.
