Chapter 758 - Were back!! (1/2)

Ji Dynasty.

On the full-moon night, when the country was in chaos due to the sudden attack on the borders, the imperial court was in turmoil due to the absence of the Empire's sovereign. The security was tightened, the guards were ordered to patrol around the palace at night.

” Oh, Did you hear that sound?” A guard who was patrolling at night asked his fellow guard when he heard the sound of some groaning.

The other guard shook his head and waved his hand, ” I think your ears are ringing. I didn't hear anything. Let's go to the other side.” He persuaded him.

The guard was confused and wondered if he was thinking too much. Since the day, the borders were attacked, the palace security was tightened and was on high alert. However, due to this reason, they have seen many false alarms, causing disturbance in the palace.

In the end, he agreed to his friend's suggestion and went to check the backside of the palace, ignoring the sound coming from the pond-side area.

” Hah!!” Ji Cheng's eyes snapped open when he regained his consciousness. He panted as he tried to register the things that happened. He was doing the ritual with everyone at the abandoned palace when the clear weather suddenly turned windy and loud thunder could be heard.

He remembered seeing a white light emerging from the hairpins that were burning together in the fire, but after that, he doesn't remember anything. He sat up while using his hands for support, his body was feeling weak as if all of his energy had been drained from doing farming all day long at the farm.

He frowned when he realized that he was not lying on the barren, cracked soil ground of the abandoned palace but the moist-green grass. He looked around but when he saw the grandiose palace and the large trees covering the garden area, his mouth parted in shock, ” We're back!” he exclaimed in surprise.

A relieved smile appeared on his lips as he couldn't believe that they were back at the palace.

” Ah, Zhao Ming!” His pupils widened in shock when he remembered Zhao Ming. He looked around and saw Zhao Ming lying unconscious near the edge of the pond. Her body was near the edge of the pond and if she turned around, she would fall into the pond.

His eyes widened seeing her body moving around, squirming in pain. ” Zhao Ming!!” He shouted when he saw her turning to her side, almost falling into the pond.

Before she could turn around, he caught up to her and pulled her back from the edge of the pond. He sits beside her and places her head on his lap.

” Zha...Zhao Ming..” His voice quivers when he calls out, her pale complexion and unconscious state for scaring him. Her lips turned white, her hands were cold and other than groaning in pain, she was not responding in any way.

His eyes unconsciously went to her abdomen, her hands were holding onto her stomach as if she was in pain. She was in a half-unconscious state, she was feeling the pain but she couldn't seem to hear his voice.

” Zhao Ming...does your stomach hurt?” He asked worriedly. When he woke up, he felt a sharp pain as if someone had stabbed him with three different swords at the same time. He has fought numerous battles and has gotten injured and stabbed uncountable times, despite that he couldn't bear that pain.

It must be much more painful for her since she is painful, it's much more dangerous for her and the baby.
