After Zhao Ming came out of the bathroom, she was stunned when she didn't find him in the room. His clothes were not there either; she pursed her lips and sighed.

Seeing that he was not in the room, she wore her clothes in disappointment. She has no idea why he left the room in the middle.

She was planning to show him something more but he left in the middle.

She gritted her teeth and grumbled, " Hah. This man does not deserve my attention at all. He is more suitable to live his life like a saint."

" How can he leave just like that? Hah. Now even if he begs me, I am not going to let him touch me." she gritted her teeth and continued grumbling while straightening the bedsheets.

When the door knocked, she turned around only to hear Lu Shi's voice, " Miss, the lunch is ready."

She pursed her lips and opened the door in anger which startled Lu shi.

Zhao Ming looked around but Ji Cheng was not there, only Lu shi was standing with a tray of food in her hands.

" Where is he?" she asked coldly as she glared at Lu shi.

Lu shi pursed her lips and glanced at the guards who were standing there, " Erm...His Majesty went to the study with Feng Ju for work. He has told me to bring you lunch and asked me to tell you that today he won't be able to accompany you for lunch."

"-_-"

Lu shi pursed her lips when she saw Zhao Ming's expressions turning gloomy. Earlier when Zhao Ming asked her to not disturb them, she understood that she was planning something for His Majesty.

However, all her planning must have gone in vain since his Majesty went to study for work.

" Why..why did he suddenly go to study? Did something happen?" Zhao Ming was a little disappointed that he went to work leaving her in the middle like this but if he went with Feng Ju for work, then something must have happened.

The expressions of guards and Lu shi don't look good either. Also, he is not the kind of person to leave her like this for no reason.

Lu shi pursed her lips and sighed lightly, " Some ministers from the noble court ask to meet His Majesty urgently. I don't know much either but seems like it's about what happened at today's court session."

Zhao Ming calmed down after hearing her words. She nodded and took the food tray from her and closed the door.

" Will he be alright like this?" She felt worried thinking that his decisions can create problems for him. Even though he is the Emperor, he needs to consider others' opinions as well, otherwise, things can go wrong.

Jin Corporation.

After firing Xinyi, Liwei was working as usual when his phone buzzed.

He looked at the caller ID and raised his brows seeing Bai Ju's name on it. After they met together last time and Bai Xiuren made a big scene, they didn't get the opportunity to meet up again.

" Why?" He said as soon as he picked up the call.

"-_-"

" Who picks a phone like this? I called you after so long and you're treating me like trash." Bai Ju scoffed from the other side hearing Liwei's tone.

Liwei pursed his lips and calmed down. He was too annoyed after dealing with Xinyi, so he was in a pretty bad mood.

" Why did you call? If you don't have anything important, then I am hanging up."

" Wait, wait." Bai Ju said hurriedly.

Liwei didn't hang up and kept quiet.

" I found out about things you asked me to search about. Even though it's not my field of work, I know someone who is working in the history department and fortunately, they are working on a project of something similar you asked me to find out."

Liwei pursed his lips when he heard his words. It's been some time since he has asked him to find out about someone named Zhao Bai and Zhao Ming.

He remembered that Xie Ming told him before that she has learned medicine from someone named Zhao Bai. And that crazy woman who visited his office before said that Xie Ming is Zhao Ming.

He can't help but be suspicious of Xie Ming's personality. How can someone's personality take a drastic change after going into a coma? Not only her personality changed but she knows many skills as well which are hard to learn so fast.

Since he knows that Zhao Bai is known as the master of Chinese medicine in history, and the girl named Zhao Ming is also Zhao, he decided to find out about it. It's just a suspicion but he wants to clear these thoughts.

" So, what did you find out?"

" I asked him to find out about the man named Zhao Bai and if there is a girl named Zhao Ming contemporary of his time frame. Though there is not much information about it, I found out that the great Master Zhao Bai had a daughter whose name is Zhao Ming. She was later given the title of fairy Zhao because of her acupuncture and medicinal skills."

" Even though she had learned medicine from her father, her skills were heavenly good at such a young age."

Liwei pursed his lips when he heard his words. Acupuncture? Zhao Bai's daughter??Didn't Xie Ming learn medicine from someone named Zhao Bai as well?

" However, he also finds out something interesting. There is a palace in the outskirts of Xia city which was assumed to be timed back to the Ji Dynasty and right now historians are trying to make the history of this unknown dynasty."

" What does it have to do with this? Why are you telling me nonsense?"

" Because it's related to Zhao Ming. They have found some sources that the name of the Empress of the Ji Dynasty was also Zhao Ming."

"-_-"

Liwei's expressions turned gloomy when he heard his words. Empress? Considering Xie Ming's behavior when she woke up from the coma, she used this word many times and also talked about Consorts or not.

At that time, he always ignored thinking that she was just talking like that because she has seen many dramas. But thinking of it now, why does her behavior match more with the information of Zhao Ming from the past?

" Liwei? You there?" Bai Ju called out when Liwei didn't say anything.

" You... do you know anything else?"

" I can't find anything else. They said that they are still researching and didn't find much information about the Empress. But why did you ask me to search for this girl in history? Are you planning to fund their research or what?"

" Beep, Beep"

With no intention to listen anymore, Liwei hung up the call.

"-_-"

" This jerk."

....

The whole afternoon, Liwei kept thinking about his words and information that he gathered about Zhao Ming. Was that crazy woman telling the truth? Is Xie Ming not Xie Ming but Zhao Ming?

" Ah, why is it so complicated? How can that..be possible?"
