Chapter 704 - Trapped? (2/2)
It's been a week since she has been sleeping like this. A week ago, when he came back to the chamber, he found her sleeping soundly. He thought that she was tired and that's why she went to sleep early. But later, Lu shi came with their dinner and told him that Zhao Ming didn't eat anything before going to sleep.
He tried to wake her up for dinner but she didn't budge or responded to him, even after calling her so many times. He thought that she was in a deep slumber, so he didn't disturbed her.
However, the next day, she didn't wake up in the morning either. This made him worry because she didn't even change her positions in her sleep like her usual self and was sleeping in the same position as last night. She didn't move, nor she made any noises when he tried to wake her up or even slapped her cheeks to get any reaction.
He got scared and called the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor was also bewildered and couldn't find out the reason for her sleeping for so long. He checked her pulse and checked for any medicine or herbs which can result in her being like this but there was nothing that can cause such an effect.
He remembered the time when she went unconscious for three weeks after drowning in the pond and was in a dangerous condition. He was scared that it must be something like that, so he asked Feng Sheng to bring Aunt Shen Jia with him. Even at that time, only she managed to save Zhao Ming when everyone said that she won't be able to hold onto her life for long.
When Shen Jia came and saw the hairpin in Zhao Ming's hand, she clutched her fist tightly and sighed helplessly. She has told her to not act on impulse but she did what she told her to not do so. Although they were pressed on time and needed to know the reason for the curse as soon as possible, going through this dangerous practice can put her life in danger.
That's why she didn't tell her this practice before.
She took a deep breath and turned to Ji Cheng, ” Your Majesty, there is something you need to know….However, it shouldn't come from my mouth. You need to know about it, but only Zhao Ming can do that.” she said seriously, making him grew worried.
” Aunt Shen Jia, what are you trying to say? What is it that I need to know? And what happened to Zhao Ming? Why isn't she waking up? She is not sick, is she?” he asked worriedly.
He was feeling scared seeing her ashen complexion and chapped lips that were turning purple.
Shen Jia took a deep breath and said hesitantly, ” She..she will be fine. I will not let anything happen to her.” she turned to look at Zhao Ming and smiled mildly.
” But...you need to remember one thing. Zhao Ming is not sick, but..her life is still in danger until she wakes up. There are things that can't be explained, so you just need to be patient and wait for her until she wakes up. You will find out everything from her.” she said calmly.
Ji Cheng pursed his lips as he wasn't satisfied with her response but he couldn't say anything to her. Although he never said anything, however, he knows that there is something that Zhao Ming was hiding from him. There are many times where she looked worried after coming back from Shen Jia's chamber, also, he still couldn't forget the day when she treated Zhao Ming when no other doctor could do that.
There was something mysterious about her,

Back to the present, Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming who was sleeping soundly in his arms, bit his lower lip, and said in a muffled voice, ” Zhao Ming, everything will be alright, right? Why aren't you waking up? It's been a week since you are sleeping like this. I am trying hard to not think about anything bad but...I am scared, Zhao Ming. I hate to see you like this.” he said, hoping her to wake up, but his efforts went in vain.
