Chapter 716 - Rumors spreads faster than a fire (2/2)
-
Ji Dynasty-
Zhao Ming was sitting on the bed with her back against the headrest and was staring at the door. She looked to her left side longingly and stared at the empty space where Ji Cheng used to sleep.
It's been two weeks since he found out about the truth that she is not Zhao Ming but Xie Ming. She wanted to explain to him that it wasn't her choice nor she wanted to take Zhao Ming's place, but circ.u.mstances forced her to do so.
Moreover, she wanted to tell him that both of them are connected to the past. He knows that He and Liwei are connected to the past but he wasn't aware of the whole story yet. That day, while Shen Jia was explaining to him about the things, he stopped her in the middle, not letting her complete her story.
Since that day, she made multiple attempts to meet him and explain everything but failed. He didn't meet her nor came to the chamber since that day. At first, she heard from a few maids that he was going to another consort's room, leaving her alone in the room which caused her hope to be torn apart.
She knows that the other consorts also have the right to be with him but she can't help but feel like a waste. This was the thing she hated the most because she can share anything but not him.
However, later she found out from Feng Ju that it was just a rumor going around in the palace, rather than going to the other consort's room, he was sleeping in the guest room all this while.
She was surprised and laughed bitterly as she was not sure if she should feel happy or cry at the fact that he wasn't going to other consorts but neither coming to their chamber because he hates her to the point that he doesn't want to see her anymore.
Since that day, she was living in this large chamber all alone, she tried to immerse herself in the harem work, but couldn't. The rumors spread faster than a wildfire.
The situation was returning where people gossiped wherever she went, talking about how Ji Cheng left her and was living separately from her. He ignored all her pleas to see him.
She sighed heavily and looked outside noticing that it was already dark. It was dinner time but she doesn't want to have any since she doesn't have the appetite to eat anything right now. She looked around, noticing how cold it was since he was not here.
She pursed her lips and suddenly stood up and called out, ” Lu Shi, come in.” she called her in and Lu Shi who was standing outside entered the chamber right away.
”Your Majesty, you called me for something?” she asked politely.
” Yes. I need your help with something,” she said, smiling bitterly.
