ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY Chapter 248 - Stay Here For A Night

Zhao Ming was fidgeting in her place and wondering what she should do as she saw the man going away. This is the only man who can help her to know why she came to this place and how she can go back?

She looked at expressionless Ji Cheng who was watching the man go away. 

When she couldn't control herself, she called the man who was at the door of the chamber and said, " Wait…"

Everyone turned their attention to her even though the man going away stopped in his tracks and turned to see the expressions of Zhao Ming who was profusely sweating and nervousness was evident on her face.

The man looked at her but didn't walk towards her. The old man filled with aura and charisma stood there and looked at Zhao Ming's pale face whose color has been faded away with nervousness.

Ji Cheng was also surprised when she suddenly stopped the man and her face was rather pale and she looked weaker than before. He got worried about seeing her in this condition.

Zhao Ming stared at the man in front of her disregarding the people around her and walked up to him. She stood in front of the man and said, " Please don't go. Stay here for a night. Please." she blinked her slightly welled up eyes.

She was feeling uncomfortable seeing the man going away because it's like she was sending her only hope away. If this man stayed here, then she could get a chance to talk to him and ask him why he had said those words that she could not forget her memories, because she doesn't have them?

It doesn't make sense that he said those words without knowing anything. She was slightly nervous that the man would not help her and will reject her request.

Ji cheng who was standing at this original position looked at Zhao Ming who was asking the man to stay the night.

His brows furrowed as he was confused about why she asked the man to stay the night when he was insulting her saying that she was feigning sickness. He did not understand why Zhao Ming was behaving so submissively in front of the man.

He walked up to her and asked, " Zhao Ming, what are you doing?"

She turned to face Ji Cheng and bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, " His highness, please let Master Li stay here for a night. I may not remember anything but after all, he is my father's friend. I want to talk to him and want to know more about my father and who knows that I may remember about my past as well. Please let him stay here?" she asked cautiously.

From the previous conversation of Ji Cheng and the old man, she has understood that Master Li was Zhao Ming's father's friend and they must have a very good relations.h.i.+p that's why the man came all the way to check on her and treat her.

However, after checking her pulse, the expression on a man's face changed and she could sense that his gaze has become weird and felt that he knows something about her that's why he said those words.

Unlike Ji Cheng, she does not feel that the man's knowledge has reduced after living in mountains for long instead he knows many things that people like her could not understand and he also knows the secret behind her coming to this world.

The old man did not say anything and just looked at Zhao Ming, the way he talked to Ji cheng and the way she was trying to convince him.

His lips curled upwards when he noticed that Ji Cheng was attentively listening to Zhao Ming's words and was looking at her with a gentle gaze.

He has met Zhao Ming once after her marriage with Ji Cheng as he has served as the head of the medicine department also the imperial doctor at that time. Though he didn't talk to her much at that time, because she has acquired the position an Empress, however, he had noticed that their relations.h.i.+p was not at par and has some estranged feelings towards each other.

Zhao Ming who was talking to Ji Cheng glances at the old man and noticed his slight smile which seemed like mocking her. She was speechless seeing his mysterious smile.

Ji Cheng who was unaware of the situation and her real motive to let the man stay felt that she wanted the man to stay because she wanted to talk to him and know about her past. Though he does not trust the old man however he could not reject Zhao Ming who was requesting him earnestly.

He just looked at the old man in front of him and said in a heavy and domineering voice, " Master Li, you have come a long way to visit us, so it will be a waste to go like this. Please stay a night here and give us a chance to show our hospitality to you." 

Zhao Ming who was standing by his side nodded her head frivolously and said, " Yes, You should stay here and talk with me. I have many things that I want to ask you. After all, she is...I mean I am like your daughter, aren't I? So you should give me a chance to serve you. You can't go like this without giving me a chance to welcome you and serve you." she desperately smiled and was clenching her fist waiting for his response.

She almost said that she was like his daughter. She was talking about Zhao Ming but almost forgot for a second that she was now a Zhao Ming.

The old man didn't say anything and slightly smirked at her seeing her try so hard to make him stay a night at the palace. He didn't say anything to her instead turned to Ji Cheng and nodded his head slightly, " If his Highness, wanted me to stay here, then how can I reject your request? I will stay the night here, " he said calmly.

Zhao Ming felt glad when she heard his words. It was a happy moment for her because this stubborn man finally agreed to do something that she wants.

Ji Cheng nodded at him and waved Feng Ju to come over. When Feng Ju came to him, he ordered to prepare a room for Master Li and take him to rest for a while.

At that time, Zhao Ming didn't say anything and let the old man take a rest because she was planning to go later to talk to him alone.

She wanted to know why that man was behaving this way with her and does he knows something about her or does he knows that she was someone else and how does she come here?

This was an unfamiliar place for her and he was the only person who was behaving strangely seeing her and seems to know something. So how can she miss the opportunity to meet him.

She sighed in relief when she saw Feng Ju take the old man away with her. 

Ji Cheng who was standing beside her, saw her sighing like this and raised his brows in amus.e.m.e.nt. He has no idea what she was planning but seeing her being so worked up and desperate he understood that it was not something normal.

However, he could not point out what's wrong with her? He didn't dwell on the situation much and said to her, " You don't need to take the words of the man to heart. I believe in you." his voice was low and tender.

Zhao Ming who was looking at the back of the man who was walking far away suddenly heard a manly deep voice from behind and turned to look at him when she felt that he was standing too close to her.

She could sense the warmth of his body and if she moved a little she will b.u.mp to his chest.

His words rang in her ears,' I believe in you' which left her face turn red in embarra.s.sment.

She somehow felt bad when she heard his words. Because, indeed, she was not his Zhao Ming and she was just a girl who came into this world and was now in his wife's body.

She could not comment on their relations.h.i.+p but the way she has observed him does not appear that he was a bad guy, instead, she felt that there might be some problems and misunderstanding between Zhao Ming and him.

She does not about their relations.h.i.+p in detail that's why she could not comment on that. However, he does not seem like a bad guy to her.
