Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 539 - Blood?

The few days passed as Zhao Ming was busy with the work related to the harem and didn't have any time to visit Shen Jia to her chamber.

Today she had a meeting with Jia shi in the morning to discuss the consort who will be rewarded as the most productive consort at the month-end meeting.

After checking all the activities done by other consorts in Jia shi's report, Zhao Ming was pleased as the work ended sooner than she had expected.

It was a good idea to give them rewards to keep them engaged in some kind of activity. This way there were a few complaints from the consorts this month and most of them were keeping their attitudes in mind.

Moreover, since Wen Xu was sent to the abandoned chamber in the back of the palace, Xiao Li was quiet as well.

" Miss, where are we going now?" Lu shi asked while following Zhao Ming. They just left Jia shi's chamber and Zhao Ming doesn't seem to go towards the main palace.

Zhao Ming looked at Lu shi and replied, " You go back. I am going to meet Aunt Shen Jia. "

" Oh? Then do you want me to bring some snacks?"

Zhao Ming shook her head and said, "No need. You just go. Also, help me inform all the other consorts that there will be a month-end meeting the day after tomorrow. So be on time. Otherwise, I will punish those who will be late this time."

Lu shi nodded and went to do her work.

….

" Come in."

Zhao Ming knocked on Shen Jia's door and entered after receiving her permission.

This time, she carefully closed the door and looked at Shen Jia who looked better than the last time.

Her face color has returned and she looked healthier and cheerful than the last time.

" You came again." Shen Jia was drinking her tea and she glanced at Zhao Ming who stubbornly sat on the chair opposite her.

.

" Yes. Didn't I say that we will continue our conversation next time?"

Shen Jia drank her tea, ignoring her words.

"-_-"

" So, where were we last time?" Zhao Ming clasped her hands tightly and tried to remember their last conversation.

" Yeah, I asked you if Ji Cheng has been reincarnated in modern times like Zhao Ming or not?"

Zhao Ming asked directly without roaming around in circles.

Shen Jia paused in her actions and glanced at her from the side.

"You really want to know?"

Zhao Ming nodded.

" You're right. Just like Zhao Ming, Ji Cheng has been reincarnated as well. "

" Really? Then who is Ji Cheng in modern times?" Zhao Ming was surprised and happy to hear this.

Shen Jia sighed and said, " It was Liwei, Ji Cheng's reincarnation."

"-_-"

Zhao Ming was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Shen Jia with her mouth opened and stared at Shen Jia in bewilderment.

" Wait..so Liwei is Ji Cheng's reincarnation? You mean, you sent Zhao Ming from Ji Cheng to Liwei? Why?"

Zhao Ming felt rather confused.

And if she was Zhao Ming's reincarnation and Liwei, Ji Cheng's, then why did they never have a loving relationship?

Shen Jia looked at Zhao Ming as she understood her worries.

" Did you forget about the curse? The curse was meant to keep them apart. Because of the curse, Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng never had a loving relationship even after loving each other so much."

" Similarly, you and Liwei never had a peaceful relationship even without having any serious conflicts."

Shen Jia explained simply leaving Zhao Ming in shock.

" Wait. But how did you know that Liwei and I never had any serious conflicts? As long as I know, I didn't tell you anything about myself?"

Shen Jia raised her brows and smiled. " I didn't do much. I just had to meditate for the last two days to figure out about your past. "

Zhao Ming stared at her in shock as she felt that Shen Jia is a true psychic.

" So, it was because of the curse that Zhao Ming and I never had a good relationship with our spouses before, right?"

" Specifically, with your loved ones."

Shen Jia nodded and explained, " You might think it's ridiculous. But that's true. And it takes years for me to learn the way to break this curse. Fortunately the day Zhao Ming fell in the pond was the day of the full moon. Because of it, the effect of the ritual was more powerful and successful."

" However…" Shen Jia paused as she looked at Zhao Ming with worry.

Zhao Ming raised her brows and asked, " However, what?"

" I thought that the course of the curse had been successfully stopped after Zhao Ming went into your world. But now you're here as well and I am just worried if this curse has been dissipated or not."

" What...what do you mean by this?"

" When I performed the ritual, I had no idea about the new world or reincarnations at all. It was not my intention to bring you here."

" But it seems like, after your soul left your body, you didn't choose to be free from the cycle of the rebirth. Instead, you choose to stay in this world and be with the person you love. Because of your power of love and will power you found your way to this world and wake up in Zhao Ming's body." Shen Jia said with seriousness.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she listened to her words carefully.

Shen Jia saw Zhao Ming's dumbfounded expressions and said, " Complicated right?"

Zhao Ming nodded.

" You will soon know what I am trying to say."

Zhao Ming looked at Shen Jia with strange expressions. Everything was so complicated for her. historical

However, amidst all the things, she was happy knowing the fact that Ji Cheng and her are connected through the past.

Liwie was her husband in her past life, but she never had a good relationship with him.

However, with Ji Cheng, she finally realized that she has someone who loves her.

The guilt she has in her heart has been replaced with happiness that Ji Cheng and she has been connected by fate.

" Ah, I forgot to tell you one thing." Zhao Ming looked at Shen Jia when she suddenly remembered something.

Shen Jia raised her brows and glanced at Zhao Ming.

" A few days ago, I had a very strange yet depressing dream.?In that dream, I saw blood everywhere." Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she felt sad just by thinking about that dream.

" Blood?" Shen Jia frowned when she heard her words.
