Chapter 762 - It Feels So Unreal!!



Chapter 762 - It Feels So Unreal!!

Wen Xu was sitting in her chamber and looked at the Imperial Physician with a frown who was standing in front of her with his head held down.

" It's been two days and Zhao Ming is still unconscious. What are you doing? Are you really an expert in medicine as you say?" She asked in a cold voice.

It's been two days since Ji Cheng left the palace for the borders, there is no news about him and here Zhao Ming hasn't woken up yet.

She doesn't even know that Ji Cheng has gone to war. She was getting worried about her health since she is pregnant and being unconscious for this long was making her anxious. The Imperial physician says that she is fine and just weak, however, despite all the medications she hasn't regained her consciousness.

If something happens to this child under her supervision, she won't be able to face Ji Cheng when he returns.

The old man pursed his lips upon being countered with sharp questions of Empress Dowager. No one has ever doubted his capabilities but when it comes to Zhao Ming, his medical knowledge goes into the drain.

He doesn't know the reason for her condition and strangely his medications don't seem to work on her. However, he can't say that directly. He doesn't want to be dismissed from his position if he couldn't manage to treat Zhao Ming.

" Empress Dowager, I am performing my duties correctly. It was Her Majesty's Aunt who kept feeding her the strange medicines that have caused her to become like this."

" Her interference in my treatment is worsening the health of Her Majesty. I am sure it was because of her that my medicines are not working on her." He said while trying to make an excuse that can help him to get out of Wen Xu's wrath.

" Zhao Ming's Aunt? What was her name...Shen Jia. Is she feeding some strange to Zhao Ming?" " She asked in confusion.

She has seen this woman in the palace many times but she never had the chance to talk to her. The woman never goes out of her chamber and whenever she has seen her, she always greets her politely and the woman seems to have poise and elegance which is quite rare from someone like her background.

The physician gulped as he wondered what he should say next. He has checked her medicine to see if there is anything wrong with that and surprisingly it was better than the medicine that he had brewed for Zhao Ming.

The woman doesn't have a medical background yet she is surpassing him who is treating people for 30 years.? However, since Zhao Ming is not waking up, he can use this to his advantage.

" Erm...the medicines she is feeding might not be harmful but they are disrupting the treatment. Maybe because of that Her Majesty isn't wak…

[ EMPRESS DOWAGER...Pardon me for intruding like this.] As he was speaking, a maid came running into the chamber and interrupted his words.

Wen Xu frowned seeing the girl who was sweating and panting to catch up her breath. " What happened? Why are you like this?" she held her chest nervously, afraid that it might be some bad news.

"Her Majesty...she has woken up." The girl said between her gasps as she panted to catch her breath. To inform Wen Xu about Zhao Ming's condition, she came running from the main palace to the orchid pavilion which made her out of breath.

" WHAT? Zhao Ming woke up?" Wen Xu stood up from his chair in shock, she glanced at the imperial physician who was saying that Zhao Ming's condition is getting worse due to Shen Jia.

He pursed his lips and averted his gaze from her, embarrassedly.

In Ji Cheng's chamber, Zhao Ming was sitting on the bed, with her back against the wall of the bed supported by two pillows. Her face was pale and haggard, her black-long hair was messy and gathered in one side.

Shen Jia was sitting on a stool beside the bed and was checking her pulse. When she received the news about Zhao Ming that she has regained consciousness, she didn't take any moment to come to her chamber.

Lu shi was standing behind Shen Jia, holding the medicines that Shen Jia brought with her. Lu shi has been taking care of Zhao Ming during the time she was unconscious.

She was happy that she was found but seeing her in this state, her heart ached. However, holding onto her tears, she took care of her and hoped for her wellness.

" Here, drink this medicine." Shen Jia passed her the drink that she brewed herself in the morning.

Zhao Ming took the cup and looked at the monstrous green medicine which smelled like s&*^ to her. " Argh...I can't. It smells so bad."

Shen Jia pursed her lips seeing her acting like a kid in front of medicine and held on her hand that was passing the medicine back to Lu shi, "You're still too weak and sick. Do you know that you came back after touching the door of death? You should be thankful that you're sitting here, alive to see this day." she said while pointing towards the window, the weather was surprisingly clear and it wasn't that much cold anymore.

"Zhao Ming, even though you woke up, don't take this so lightly. You're pregnant, you need to take care of your health for the sake of this baby. This ritual has taken a great toll on the baby, to not make it worse, you have to be away from the stress." she said worriedly.

Shen Jia's words caused her to remind her of her situation. She looked down at her abdomen and caressed her 'yet' flat stomach.

" It feels so unreal."

" Where is Ji Cheng? Lu shi, did you tell Feng Sheng to tell him about this news? How come he didn't come to see me?" Zhao Ming frowned.

However, her eyes widened in shock when she remembered something, " Did he come back or not? Or is he severely injured? Where is he? He is fine, right?" Zhao Ming panicked when all kinds of questions started to make her feel afraid.

" Zhao Ming, my child. You finally woke up." Zhao Ming was looking at Shen Jia, waiting for a response when she heard a loud voice of Wen Xu which startled her.

She blinked, not knowing how to react seeing her reaction. Is this the same Empress Dowager who was ready to kill me in the past? Does Xiao Li's death have changed her into a dramatic person?

" Empress Dowager, you came alone? Where is His Majesty? Is he busy with ministers?" she asked while looking towards the entrance of the chamber.

Upon hearing her question, Wen Xu's expression dimmed. A bitter smile replaced the earlier excited expressions, which caused her to get uneasy.

" What's going on? Why no one isn't saying anything? Huh? Where is he?" She turned to Lu shi when she noticed that everyone was averting their gazes from her.

Her hands trembled as fear started to ripple in her heart, causing her to think about what had happened that made everyone look at her with their pitiful gazes.

" Lu shi, tell me where is he? If not, I am not going to take this medicine." Zhao Ming said while glaring at her, forcing her to spill the beans.

"That...His Majesty,..." Lu shi sobbed seeing Zhao Ming's scared, worried expressions and was skeptical of how to break this news to her. Since she is pregnant, it can be dangerous for her to take so much stress.

" He went to war." Before she could say anything, she heard the calm words of Shen Jia which shocked her. How can she say this so casually? Lu shi glanced at Zhao Ming who was staring at Shen Jia in bewilderment.

"War?"
