Chapter 76 - What Did You Say?
Ji Dynasty
The next day, Lu shi woke up early in the morning and started her work. She didn't wake, Ming up because she knew that she needed rest. She was busy preparing clothes for her Miss and other things that she needs after waking up. She was delighted that, Miss finally has woke up. Now, the title of Empress will remain hers.
When Ji Cheng woke up, his head was hurting badly, from the hangover. He slept keeping his head on the table, his neck was sore. His whole body was aching as he was in cold for the whole night. He called the eunuch to get him washbasin to wash his face. His head was hurting.
When eunuch came and saw the condition of his highness, he felt bad. He brought the washbasin for him to wash up. After getting dressed, Ji Cheng called Feng Ju in. He wanted to visit the Empress Dowager and reject her request about making Xiao Li the Empress. He will not do this, even if he has to go against his mother. Till now, he has done everything, what his mother has asked him to do. But not anymore. Now he will do, whatever it takes to protect Zhao Ming, the girl he loves.
When Feng Ju entered his chamber and looked at his highness, he was hesitant to speak. Seeing his hesitance, Ji Cheng asked, " What happened?" he asked and squinted his eyes at him.
Feng Ju looked at Ji Cheng and hesitated to tell what had happened, then he finally gathered the courage and said, " Your highness, the Empress has woken up."
When Ji Cheng heard, Feng Ju's words, he was stunned. He looked at him blankly and asked again, " what... What did you say?" He was not sure if he heard it right, because yesterday the doctor has said, that she has no hope. They don't know when will she wake up.
Feng Ju looked at his pale face, he understood that he wanted to confirm what he just said. So he looked at him and firmly said, " Highness, you heard it right. Your highness has woke up. And she is fine. Yesterday night..." before he could complete his words, Ji Cheng ran towards Ming's Chamber. Feng Ju looked at the back of Ji Cheng who ran away without hearing his words. He wanted to tell him, that her highness has changed. She was behaving oddly. But he ran without hearing his words. He sighed.
.....
When Ji Cheng reached in front of Ming's Chamber, he was greeted by the guards. He stood still at the stairs of the Chamber, he was hesitant to enter the chamber. If this was a dream, then he don't want to wake up from it. Because it was a beautiful dream.
He stood there and looked at the closed door in front of him. He walked up the stairs and stood outside the door. He took a deep breath and as he was going to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.
As the door was opening from inside, his heart skipped a beat. But when he saw the person, behind the door, he frowned.
When the door opened, the person he saw was Lu shi. He frowned, he looked at her coldly. When Lu shi opened the door and saw his highness standing at the door, she got a fright. She almost jumped in fear. And seeing his cold face, she started stuttering, " his... Greetings to his high... Highness" she said while bowing.
He didn't reply to her greeting, but instead tried to look inside. Lu shi understood what he wanted and said, " her highness has woken up from the coma last night." she said with a smile on her face.
When she said those words, he looked at her with a stern face but it was not cold anymore.
He wanted to enter but she hurriedly said, "Your highness, Miss hasn't woken up yet. "
When he heard her words, he frowned.
Seeing his blank face, she understood that he had misunderstood her words, so she hurriedly said, " Your highness, Miss hasn't woken up from her sleep yet. She needs rest so I haven't woken up her yet. "
Ji Cheng said, " It's okay. You can go now. I'll look after her." he said to her, in a way telling her to go away. She understood his meaning and bowed once again and left the room.
After she left, Ji Cheng took a deep breath and entered the room. He was unknown to the trouble that has been waiting for him. He looked at the girl, from the afar who has been sleeping peacefully at the bed unknown to her surroundings. When he saw her sleeping, he smiled.
His heart started beating fastly. Finally, she woke up. He doesn't want to waste this chance, that has been given to him, he would cherish her and love her. He wants to see her smile again and call him, " Cheng" again. He doesn't want to care about Palace rules anymore, as long as his Empress was happy.
' What's the meaning of being the Emperor, when one couldn't even keep his wife happy?'
Now his first and utmost priority will be his wife, 'his Empress'.
