Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming and said in a low voice, " I have called the Imperial Doctor to come and check on her. However, if you want to check on her, you can do that."

Zhao Ming swallowed hard when she heard his words. Check on her? But how?

She is not a doctor.

Even though she has Zhao Ming's memory, she doesn't have her talent. She can try to check the pulse-like Zhao Ming used to do, but she can't tell any difference.

Just because she has Zhao Ming's memories, it doesn't mean that she has her senses and talent.

She took a deep breath and said, " It's okay. Let the imperial doctor check on her. I..am not feeling well, so I am not sure if I could do well or not." She lied right away.

Ji Cheng looked at her worriedly and asked, " What happened to you? Why are you not feeling well."

"-_-"

"I..I just have a little headache. I am afraid that it might affect the diagnosis if I checked on her in this state." She was not sure if he bought the story or not.

" Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor has arrived." Before Ji Cheng could say anything, Feng Ju announced from outside.

She sighed in relief while the doctor entered, and checked on Shen Jia's pulse.

After checking her, he turned to Ji Cheng and said, " Your Majesty, this woman hasn't eaten properly for days. That's why she is extremely weak."

" Also, she seems to have walked quite a distance which resulted in the blisters in her foot. I have applied the medicine on her wounds. If she drinks the medicine that I have given her, then she will be fine in a few days."

Ji Cheng nodded and sent him out. Zhao Ming stared at Shen Jia's pale face and pursed her lips.

" Zhao Ming, you go back and rest. Since Aunt Shen Jia is also resting, there is nothing for you to do."

She stared at him and smiled the way he said, ' Aunt Shen Jia'. She nodded and went back to her chamber.

....

In the evening, she sat in front of the mirror and sighed heavily.

" She is finally back. Does it mean I am going back soon?" She murmured while looking at her reflection in the mirror.

" Where are you going back?" Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Ji Cheng's voice.

She turned around and forced a smile.

" Ah? I was thinking about going back to my chamber." She said whatever came to her mind in panic.

He frowned and asked, " Why? Don't you like this room?"

" Ah? I mean, you don't stay much here since you're busy. So it's a little boring to spend the whole day here myself." She tried to cover her words.

" So my Empress is complaining that I don't give you enough time." He hugged her from behind and snuggled into her nape while leaving butterfly kisses.

She unconsciously tilted her head to the side but she was smiling bitterly.

" Ji Cheng."

" Hmm?"

" What if one day...I say that I am not the same Zhao Ming that you loved before, then what will you do?" She asked in a low voice.

He stopped sensing her odd behavior and asked," What do you mean? Even if your personality has changed a lot, but I still like you because you're my Empress."

Her expressions fell when she fell.

" So, you only love my face? What if one day I tell you that your Zhao Ming died when she fell in the pond and I am someone else. What will you do?" She said seriously while looking into his eyes.

He didn't say anything for a few minutes and just stared at her in confusion.

" Haha. What are you saying? Are you reading those useless novels again? Is that why you're talking like this? Zhao Ming, how many times I have told you to not read those novels. They are no good." He chuckled as he felt that she was spouting nonsense.

She pursed her lips and said, " Ji Cheng, I am serious. What would you do if that happened? What will you do when you will find out I am not the same Zhao Ming you knew before?"

He looked at her and said, "Zhao Ming, stop joking. How can that be possible? These things can happen only in novels. Such things don't happen in real life."

"-_-"

Zhao Ming didn't say anything further and said, " I am going to take a bath." She was not in the mood to talk as she felt an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

Ji Cheng stared at her and felt that she was acting rather strangely. Why does she look like that she is angry?

...

Zhao Ming went to the guest-chamber the next morning to see Shen Jia.

She hesitated before going in but in the end, she entered the room.

When she entered the room, Shen Jia was awake and was sitting on the bed. She was dressed up and was looking better than yesterday.

Shen Jia turned to look towards the door when she heard something. She pursed her lips as she stared at Zhao Ming with indifference.

She got down from the bed and walked towards the table in the room weakly.

Zhao Ming didn't say anything and just stared at Shen Jia who was quiet and a little vulnerable.

As Shen Jia sat on the chair, she glanced at Zhao Ming and said, " Why are you standing there? Come and sit here." Her voice was weak but Zhao Ming could feel the dominance in her voice.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and hesitantly sat opposite of Shen Jia.

After a few moments of silence, Shen Jia spoke, " You're Xie Ming, right?"

"-_-"
