Chapter 248 - Stay here for a night (1/2)

Zhao Ming was fidgeting in her place and wondering what she should do as she saw the man going away. This is the only man who can help her to know why she came to this place and how she can go back?

She looked at expressionless Ji Cheng who was watching the man go away.

When she couldn't control herself, she called the man who was at the door of the chamber and said, ” Wait…”

Everyone turned their attention to her even though the man going away stopped in his tracks and turned to see the expressions of Zhao Ming who was profusely sweating and nervousness was evident on her face.

The man looked at her but didn't walk towards her. The old man filled with aura and charisma stood there and looked at Zhao Ming's pale face whose color has been faded away with nervousness.

Ji Cheng was also surprised when she suddenly stopped the man and her face was rather pale and she looked weaker than before. He got worried about seeing her in this condition.

Zhao Ming stared at the man in front of her disregarding the people around her and walked up to him. She stood in front of the man and said, ” Please don't go. Stay here for a night. Please.” she blinked her slightly welled up eyes.

She was feeling uncomfortable seeing the man going away because it's like she was sending her only hope away. If this man stayed here, then she could get a chance to talk to him and ask him why he had said those words that she could not forget her memories, because she doesn't have them?

It doesn't make sense that he said those words without knowing anything. She was slightly nervous that the man would not help her and will reject her request.

Ji cheng who was standing at this original position looked at Zhao Ming who was asking the man to stay the night.

His brows furrowed as he was confused about why she asked the man to stay the night when he was insulting her saying that she was feigning sickness. He did not understand why Zhao Ming was behaving so submissively in front of the man.

He walked up to her and asked, ” Zhao Ming, what are you doing?”

She turned to face Ji Cheng and bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, ” His highness, please let Master Li stay here for a night. I may not remember anything but after all, he is my father's friend. I want to talk to him and want to know more about my father and who knows that I may remember about my past as well. Please let him stay here?” she asked cautiously.

From the previous conversation of Ji Cheng and the old man, she has understood that Master Li was Zhao Ming's father's friend and they must have a very good relationship that's why the man came all the way to check on her and treat her.

However, after checking her pulse, the expression on a man's face changed and she could sense that his gaze has become weird and felt that he knows something about her that's why he said those words.

Unlike Ji Cheng, she does not feel that the man's knowledge has reduced after living in mountains for long instead he knows many things that people like her could not understand and he also knows the secret behind her coming to this world.

The old man did not say anything and just looked at Zhao Ming, the way he talked to Ji cheng and the way she was trying to convince him.

His lips curled upwards when he noticed that Ji Cheng was attentively listening to Zhao Ming's words and was looking at her with a gentle gaze.

He has met Zhao Ming once after her marriage with Ji Cheng as he has served as the head of the medicine department also the imperial doctor at that time. Though he didn't talk to her much at that time, because she has acquired the position an Empress, however, he had noticed that their relationship was not at par and has some estranged feelings towards each other.

Zhao Ming who was talking to Ji Cheng glances at the old man and noticed his slight smile which seemed like mocking her. She was speechless seeing his mysterious smile.
