Chapter 764 - What if she is not dead? (1/2)

Ji Cheng was resting in his tent after his morning training where he needed to supervise the soldier's training and also warm up his body since it's been a long time since he has last picked up the sword.

He looked at the breakfast prepared by Feng Ju and sighed softly. There were fruits and tea that he had prepared for him. However, seeing the one portion in the breakfast, he started to feel Zhao Ming's absence even more.

His lips curled into a smile seeing the fruits in front of him when he remembered the time when Zhao Ming had recently woken up from the state of unconsciousness after coming into this world.

One day when he visited her chamber, he saw her lying on the bed on her side, with her hand under her head for support, and had her eyes closed.

As she was enjoying her time, Lu shi stood beside her and fed her gr.a.p.es piece by piece while the other two maids fanned her with the handmade fan.

The expressions that she was wearing that day were something that he can never forget. There was a satisfactory smile on her face, making her appear even more charming and beautiful.

At that time he was surprised to witness this scene since Zhao Ming that he used to know will never act like this, however, thinking about it now, he couldn't help but chuckle.

She knows how to enjoy her life to the fullest in every situation. Even after waking up in a different world which is opposite to where she grew up, she manages to find her place.

' I wonder if she had breakfast.' A sad smile replaced the smile on his face as he remembered her pale face when he last saw her before leaving the palace. He wants to know how she is doing but there is no way to find out about it when he is so far away.

” Only if we had the machine 'phone' with us, we wouldn't have missed each other this much.” He sighed upon thinking about the phone that he had seen in the other world which allows people to talk to each other, even if they are far away.

Just as he was thinking about her, Feng Ju entered the tent and greeted him before saying, ” King Xiao Ruogang has requested to see Your Majesty. His carriage is waiting at the border, to enter into the territory to meet his Majesty. If you allow, I will let his carriage pass by the security checkpoints.”

Ji Cheng raised his brows upon hearing this news as he was not expecting Xiao Ruogang to come and see him this early. He must have received his message yesterday only and he is here already? Impressive!

” Let him come. Also, make the preparations for his welcome,” he smirked upon thinking about the gift that he has planned for him. Feng Ju understood and said before leaving, ” Yes. I'll get on it.”

Ji Cheng stared at Xiao Ruogang who was sitting in front of him while wearing dark expressions.

” Why aren't you taking anything? I have prepared all of this for your welcome.” He smiled at him and gestured to him to try the freshly brewed tea and snacks that he has got prepared for him.

” I would have arranged something better for you if we have met at the palace but it's a shame that we're meeting in this situation.” He commented with a disappointed smile.
