ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Chapter 721 - Lunch Date.



Chapter 721 - Lunch Date.

Wen Ru was sitting in the study room with Ji Cheng who was sitting there wearing sullen expressions. They were sitting like this for half an hour without speaking, and he was starting to feel extremely uncomfortable and the air around them was getting suffocated.

He took a deep breath when he couldn't take this torture and asked, " Your Majesty, I tried to find out the things as you asked me." he said, successfully getting Ji Cheng's attention.

Ji Cheng glanced at him and raised his brows, waiting for him to continue, " King Xiao Ruogang is going around the kingdoms, building up his connections. He has decided to marry off one of his concubine's daughter to Ji Zhelan and was preparing to form the marriage alliance with him."

" After the death of Consort Xiao Li, he was being quite aggressive and seems to have resentment against us. Although there is no move from his side against us yet, however,?I found something strange that I think you should know about," he said seriously.

Ji Cheng's expressions also turned dark hearing his words and seriousness in his tone was making him curious as well. He didn't say anything and waited for him to continue.

" I tried to dig up more about Ji Zhelan since he was quite aggressive in going against you. He was silent all these years but why is he being active suddenly?"

" When I searched about his background, I found out that…" he hesitated before speaking which made Ji Cheng frown.

" What did you find out? Stop hesitating and speak!" Ji Cheng said with a frown.

He breathed out and said, " I found out that in the past he was interested in medicine and used to learn about medicine and acupuncture. Not only that, he was a disciple of Master Zhao Bai."

Ji Cheng frowned and stared at him with a complicated gaze, " So you're saying that he was a discipline of Zhao Ming's father? Does Zhao Ming know about it as well?" he asked.

Wen Ru shook his head and said, " I am not sure. He became his disciple a year before Zhao Ming entered the palace as an Empress. During that year, Zhao Ming was also busy learning the etiquettes of the palace and rules. At that time, she wasn't helping her father give and that's why he took Ji Zhelan as a discipline."

" However I am not sure if Zhao Ming knows him personally or not but he seems to know about Zhao Ming. But it still does not explain the reason why he sent his man, posing as her bodyguard to the palace, to keep an eye on Zhao Ming? Not only that, he never revealed his identity to Zhao Bai."

" According to the information I found out, he has introduced himself to Master Zhao Bai as a peasant who was interested in medicine and wants to learn about it to help people. Although he was not that great, he was still the prince of Ji Dynasty and was the grandson of a king supervising the border area, why did he introduce himself as a peasant then?" Wen Ru took a sip of his tea and wondered what could be the reason behind Ji Zhelan's strange actions.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and thought about Wen Ru's words. He frowned as he could not figure out what he was planning actually. Did he get close to Zhao Ming's father because of him to take revenge or is there some other reason?

Xie Ming stayed at home to recover her energy and after a few days, she again joined the hospital as she does not want to stay at home and feel sick all the time. If she stayed at home, she would have kept thinking about that hairpin and curse which was making her feel sicker.

It's been more than two weeks since she joined the hospital back again. Everyone was very nice and considerate to her, and they kept insisting to not overwork herself.

She was sitting in her office looking at the patient's file when a knock could be heard on the door.

" Doctor, someone is here for consultation." The nurse said.

" Consultation? Now? Wasn't I done for the day?" she asked in confusion. It was past her time to check the patients and it was surprising that the nurse brought the patient here.

The nurse smiled and looked sideways, blushing hard. Xie Ming was confused by her response and before she could say something, someone pulled open the door and a figure appeared in front of her.

Xie Ming's expressions turned bewildered seeing Jiang Yan standing there while wearing a face mask and a black hat, trying to cover his face. He looked at her and smiled seeing her in a doctor's robe.

Her face turned pale seeing him appearing in front of her nowhere. Her breathing quickened as she remembered the contents of that horrendous dream that she had lived and experienced everything herself.

Since Jiang Yan's face was identical to that of Yang Hanying, the Emperor of the Yang Dynasty. The bloody war and his disgusting words and actions were making her creep out but seeing Jiang Yan smiling at her gently was making her feel guilty as well.

The emotional storm was brewing inside her when he asked, " Can I have a personal consultation? It was not easy to come here without an appointment you know." he said making the nurse chuckle

The nurse pursed her lips and laughed in satisfaction. To allow him to meet her despite it being already past her time to check patients, they asked him for photographs and autographs which took time to fulfill everyone's request and he finally managed to come here.

Xie Ming took a deep breath and after calming down, she smiled at him, " Please come. You should have called me earlier."

" I tried but you didn't answer my calls," he said while taking a seat opposite her.

She checked her phone and nodded seeing his multiple calls, " Ah, I was checking the patient earlier, so. By the way, you're here for?"

" I came to have lunch with you," he said directly, which caught her off guard.
