Chapter 762 - It feels so unreal!! (1/2)

Wen Xu was sitting in her chamber and looked at the Imperial Physician with a frown who was standing in front of her with his head held down.

” It's been two days and Zhao Ming is still unconscious. What are you doing? Are you really an expert in medicine as you say?” She asked in a cold voice.

It's been two days since Ji Cheng left the palace for the borders, there is no news about him and here Zhao Ming hasn't woken up yet.

She doesn't even know that Ji Cheng has gone to war. She was getting worried about her health since she is pregnant and being unconscious for this long was making her anxious. The Imperial physician says that she is fine and just weak, however, despite all the medications she hasn't regained her consciousness.

If something happens to this child under her supervision, she won't be able to face Ji Cheng when he returns.

The old man pursed his lips upon being countered with sharp questions of Empress Dowager. No one has ever doubted his capabilities but when it comes to Zhao Ming, his medical knowledge goes into the drain.

He doesn't know the reason for her condition and strangely his medications don't seem to work on her. However, he can't say that directly. He doesn't want to be dismissed from his position if he couldn't manage to treat Zhao Ming.

” Empress Dowager, I am performing my duties correctly. It was Her Majesty's Aunt who kept feeding her the strange medicines that have caused her to become like this.”

” Her interference in my treatment is worsening the health of Her Majesty. I am sure it was because of her that my medicines are not working on her.” He said while trying to make an excuse that can help him to get out of Wen Xu's wrath.

” Zhao Ming's Aunt? What was her name...Shen Jia. Is she feeding some strange to Zhao Ming?” ” She asked in confusion.

She has seen this woman in the palace many times but she never had the chance to talk to her. The woman never goes out of her chamber and whenever she has seen her, she always greets her politely and the woman seems to have poise and elegance which is quite rare from someone like her background.

The physician gulped as he wondered what he should say next. He has checked her medicine to see if there is anything wrong with that and surprisingly it was better than the medicine that he had brewed for Zhao Ming.

The woman doesn't have a medical background yet she is surpassing him who is treating people for 30 years.  However, since Zhao Ming is not waking up, he can use this to his advantage.

” Erm...the medicines she is feeding might not be harmful but they are disrupting the treatment. Maybe because of that Her Majesty isn't wak…

[ EMPRESS DOWAGER...Pardon me for intruding like this.] As he was speaking, a maid came running into the chamber and interrupted his words.

Wen Xu frowned seeing the girl who was sweating and panting to catch up her breath. ” What happened? Why are you like this?” she held her chest nervously, afraid that it might be some bad news.

”Her Majesty...she has woken up.” The girl said between her gasps as she panted to catch her breath. To inform Wen Xu about Zhao Ming's condition, she came running from the main palace to the orchid pavilion which made her out of breath.

” WHAT? Zhao Ming woke up?” Wen Xu stood up from his chair in shock, she glanced at the imperial physician who was saying that Zhao Ming's condition is getting worse due to Shen Jia.

He pursed his lips and averted his gaze from her, embarrassedly.

In Ji Cheng's chamber, Zhao Ming was sitting on the bed, with her back against the wall of the bed supported by two pillows. Her face was pale and haggard, her black-long hair was messy and gathered in one side.

Shen Jia was sitting on a stool beside the bed and was checking her pulse. When she received the news about Zhao Ming that she has regained consciousness, she didn't take any moment to come to her chamber.
