Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 630 - Aren't You Taking His Side Too Much?

Zhao Ming's face turned pale when she heard Shen Jia's words. Past life? Her hands trembled thinking about the pool of blood and unrecognisable dead bodies.

It was her past life?

Even until now, she was thinking that the curse is not a big thing. She wasn't doing anything particular to find the thing which she needs to destroy.

However, hearing Shen Jia's words, she now realized how grave this situation is.

" Aunt Shen, then what can I do to find that thing? I don't even remember my past clearly. How can I find the thing which I need to destroy?"

Shen Jia pursed her lips and thought for a moment.

" You will remember about your past slowly if you have started to get such dreams but…"

Suddenly she raised her head and looked at Zhao Ming, " Do..do you know how Zhao Ming died? I mean I am sure that Zhao Ming couldn't take her life especially when she is innocent. "

" And when I checked on her before sending her to the other world, I found something strange in her body. She couldn't be in that condition because of just drowning."

" Even though the imperial doctor found nothing wrong in her and said that maybe it's because she drowned or her low will and energy, I don't believe in those empty words. You know my husband used to be an Imperial Doctor before."

" Even though I am not a doctor myself, I know the basics and could tell that she wasn't in that condition because of just drowning. So the only thing we can assume right now is, she might have been poisoned. It is the only explanation we can find in the whole situation. "

Shen Jia's eyes turned dark when she remembered Zhao Ming's condition that day. It was very hard for her to see Zhao Ming in that vulnerable condition.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and nodded hearing Shen Jia's words. She has heard that Zhao Ming knows how to swim and there is no way that she will drown in that pond. Her reflexes will start to work before she knows.

" So do you know who could be the one behind all of this?" Shen Jia asked as she drank some warm water.

Zhao Ming shook her head and said, " I don't know who did this, but I do know something."

"What?" historical

Zhao Ming took a deep breath and looked around carefully before speaking in a low voice, " The incident about the bodyguard and Zhao Ming, it was the Prince Ji Zhelan who planted that bodyguard behind Zhao Ming to know more about the palace and that Xiao Li made a gossip about it. And it was the bodyguard who went alone with Xiao Li's gossips. However, it was Ji Cheng who decided to believe in Zhao Ming and did a search on that bodyguard and found out that he was one of Ji Zhelan's men and they were trying to rebel."

Shen Jia's expressions darkened when she heard Zhao Ming's words. She clenched the blanket in her hand that she was using to cover her legs and tried to calm her rage.

She cannot believe that Zhao Ming has to suffer so much humiliation just because of a misunderstanding.

She took a deep breath and said, " Prince Zhelan? Isn't he in the palace these days? How come he allowed someone like him even to enter the palace?"

Zhao Ming nodded and said, " I don't know. But I believe that Ji Cheng won't do anything stupid. He must have made this decision after thinking through."

Shen Jia raised her brows hearing Zhao Ming's words.

" Heh~ Aren't you taking his side too much?"

Zhao Ming's ears turned red as she felt embarrassed in front of her.

Shen Jia chuckled and said, " It's good that you are getting along with him. In fact, Ji Cheng is a good child. It was because of him that your father agreed to this marriage arrangement. However, there were some things that weren't in his hands either. Even Ji Cheng couldn't stop what happened in the past and their marriage became a burden for Zhao Ming because that was destined to happen in one way or another."

" So Zhao Ming, you need to act fast and find that thing before something like this happens again. We only have this last chance to dissipate the curse. Either you win or lose and if you lose, the punishment is nothing less than death. So act fast." Shen Jia warned her once again.

Zhao Ming nodded and just as they were talking about other things, they heard a maid's announcement from outside.

" His Majesty has arrived"

Zhao Ming turned to look towards the door and stood up from the bed. [ Read this on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this is pirated. Support the original author, not the thieves, and get the latest updates. Regards Kamlyn]

The door was pushed open and Ji Cheng entered the room. He was sweating and worry was clearly written on his face.

" Your Majesty" Zhao Ming greeted him.

He nodded and looked at Shen Jia, " Aunt Shen Jia, I heard you fainted today? How did this happen? Are you fine now?" He asked her a series of questions without a break.

" Your Majesty." Shen Jia greeted in a low voice before saying anything else.

" I am fine now. I apologize for making you worry." She said courtly.

Zhao Ming looked at him and said, " She is fine now. The Imperial Doctor has also checked on her and has given her medicine. There is nothing to worry about. But why are you drenched in sweat?" She asked while passing him a towel to wipe his face.

He felt embarrassed as he took a towel from her and said, " When the court ended, one of the guards informed me of what happened. So I came here directly. "

Zhao Ming felt touched because he didn't even rest and came directly here. The distance between the main palace and guest chamber was quite long and if he was walking fast, then it must have been tiring.

It generally takes her 15 minutes even if she walks at her normal speed. Her walking speed is neither slow nor fast.

" Zhao Ming, you should go now together with His Majesty. I am fine, so don't worry. I just need to rest and I will do that after eating, so go now. " Shen Jia said as she doesn't want Zhao Ming to waste her time behind her.
