Chapter 269 - His highness asked for me? (2/2)

The old man looked at the petite figure in front of him who left the chamber clumsily and she was not feminine at all.

A smile plastered on his lips as he reminisces the past. Though Zhao Ming and Xie Ming's personality are different at this moment.

But when Zhao Ming was young, she was exactly like Xie Ming.

She was free and always speak her mind. She always fights against the wrong and support the victim.

However, after entering the Palace, her happiness and freedom was snatched away. Her life has become dull and painful.

...

After coming out of the chamber, Zhao Ming stopped and turned to look at the room she just left.

She was having a heavy feeling in her heart. She came today to know anything but she has to wait again for her questions to be answered.

She sighed and prepared to go back.

….

When she reached the Lotus Pavilion, she almost bumped into Lu shi who was walking back and forth while waiting for her.

She raised her eyes in amusement and asked, ” What are you doing? I almost fell because of you.” Zhao Ming grumbled while fixing her gown.

Lu shi's lips curled downwards as she continued, ” Miss, I was waiting for you. I was worried about you. Where were you? ”

” Didn't I told you that I am going to meet Master Li. Why are you overreacting?” Zhao Ming rebuked Lu shi and walked past her.

Lu shi frowned seeing Zhao Ming walking ahead but ended up following her.

” When you didn't come for a long time, his Highness asked me about your whereabouts. I told them that you went to meet Master Li. However, you didn't take your medicine yet, so his highness was worried about you.” she said while pouting her lips.

When Zhao Ming didn't come for long, Ji Cheng asked her where is she? And if she has taken her medicine or not?

Lu shi told him that she didn't get time to take her after meal medicine. This worried Ji Cheng and he scolded Lu shi for not taking care of her.

She felt wrong as it was not her fault. Zhao Ming didn't listen to her and just went out like this.

But there is no way she could say anything. She silently took all the blame and waited for Zhao Ming to come.

She wanted to go to the Master Li's chamber but stopped herself because this might have angered Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming stopped in her tracks when she heard Lu shi's words.

” His highness asked for me?” she asked her as she turned around to face Lu shi.
