Chapter 539 - Blood? (1/2)

The few days passed as Zhao Ming was busy with the work related to the harem and didn't have any time to visit Shen Jia to her chamber.

Today she had a meeting with Jia shi in the morning to discuss the consort who will be rewarded as the most productive consort at the month-end meeting.

After checking all the activities done by other consorts in Jia shi's report, Zhao Ming was pleased as the work ended sooner than she had expected.

It was a good idea to give them rewards to keep them engaged in some kind of activity. This way there were a few complaints from the consorts this month and most of them were keeping their attitudes in mind.

Moreover, since Wen Xu was sent to the abandoned chamber in the back of the palace, Xiao Li was quiet as well.

” Miss, where are we going now?” Lu shi asked while following Zhao Ming. They just left Jia shi's chamber and Zhao Ming doesn't seem to go towards the main palace.

Zhao Ming looked at Lu shi and replied, ” You go back. I am going to meet Aunt Shen Jia. ”

” Oh? Then do you want me to bring some snacks?”

Zhao Ming shook her head and said, ”No need. You just go. Also, help me inform all the other consorts that there will be a month-end meeting the day after tomorrow. So be on time. Otherwise, I will punish those who will be late this time.”

Lu shi nodded and went to do her work.

….

” Come in.”

Zhao Ming knocked on Shen Jia's door and entered after receiving her permission.

This time, she carefully closed the door and looked at Shen Jia who looked better than the last time.

Her face color has returned and she looked healthier and cheerful than the last time.

” You came again.” Shen Jia was drinking her tea and she glanced at Zhao Ming who stubbornly sat on the chair opposite her.

.

” Yes. Didn't I say that we will continue our conversation next time?”

Shen Jia drank her tea, ignoring her words.

”-_-”

” So, where were we last time?” Zhao Ming clasped her hands tightly and tried to remember their last conversation.

” Yeah, I asked you if Ji Cheng has been reincarnated in modern times like Zhao Ming or not?”

Zhao Ming asked directly without roaming around in circles.

Shen Jia paused in her actions and glanced at her from the side.

”You really want to know?”

Zhao Ming nodded.

” You're right. Just like Zhao Ming, Ji Cheng has been reincarnated as well. ”

” Really? Then who is Ji Cheng in modern times?” Zhao Ming was surprised and happy to hear this.

Shen Jia sighed and said, ” It was Liwei, Ji Cheng's reincarnation.”

”-_-”

Zhao Ming was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Shen Jia with her mouth opened and stared at Shen Jia in bewilderment.

” Wait..so Liwei is Ji Cheng's reincarnation? You mean, you sent Zhao Ming from Ji Cheng to Liwei? Why?”

Zhao Ming felt rather confused.
