Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 613 - You Are My Only Man In This World

Ji Cheng stared at Ji Zhelan and was trying to grasp the reason he came to the palace. He never came here in years then what's his reason to come and meet him all of a sudden?

Ji ZHelna is not as innocent as he looks. He needs to be careful with him because his one wrong step can make things worse. Even though Ji Zhelan and his mother left the palace after Wen Xu forced them to leave, Ji Zhelan's maternal grandfather whose territory is now under Ji Dynasty took both of them in.

That territory was taken by Ji Cheng's father in a war and that's how he took Ji Zhelan's mother as his concubine. Even though the territory is now under the Ji Dynasty, Ji Zhelan's grandfather, Zhi Xue Leng still heads that area and just needs to show his loyalty to the Emperor by giving yearly grants, funds and horses and military assistance whenever asked.

And in the last few years, the control of Zhi Xue Leng in the border area has become stronger because of Ji Zhelan's strategy. Ji Cheng found out about it some time ago when he found out about the bodyguard.

He didn't get much time to deal with this situation since so much was happening in the palace since that time.

The territory managed by Zhi Xue Leng is on the border of the Ji Dynasty and it's hard to manage that area centrally since it is far away from the Ji city which is the capital of the Dynasty.

Even though that small territory is on the border of the Ji Dynasty, it can still emerge as a danger if the power of Ji Zhelan and Zhi Xueleng grows tremendously.

Ji Cheng has told Zhao Ming before that it was Ji Zhelan who planned everything and she knows that he is not a nice and kind person as he looks. His looks are nothing more than a mask that can deceive people easily.

…..

There was suffocating silence in the room as nobody spoke. She pursed her lips as she was stuck between her husband's cold attitude towards Ji Zhelan and the beaming smile which Ji Zhelan was showing.

' Ah, who says that ancient men are only manly? This Ji Zhelan is such a pretty boy. But wait, why does his face look so familiar? Am I missing something here?'

The more she looks at his face, the more she finds it familiar.

" Your Majesty, I had heard that before getting married to his Majesty, you used to work as a doctor."

Zhao Ming, who was sitting on the edge, was surprised when Ji Zhelan talked to her.

'Doctor? Seems like things were better when I didn't have any memories.'

She sighed lightly and nodded, " Yes. I used to help my father in treating people." She replied half-heartedly.

" How do you know that?" Ji Cheng who was sitting there quietly all this while spoke in a cold and questionable tone.

Ji Zhelan was surprised when Ji Cheng suddenly questioned him.

He pursed his lips and maintained a calm smile on his face.

" I heard from someone. After all, she is the Empress of the Ji Dynasty, everyone knows about her." He responded as a matter of factly.

" Everyone doesn't know about her. When we got married, it was not a grand ceremony because of Grandfather's demise and the people do not know much about her. The common people barely know about her name, then how come you heard about her being a doctor?" Ji Cheng while looking straight into his eyes

Ji Zhelan's lips twitched hearing Ji Cheng's suspicious words. He glanced at Zhao Ming and said, " When I arrived at the palace, I heard people talking about how Grandmother Shuren called you to her chamber to treat the Empress Dowager. The people were talking about it, and I just happened to hear them."

Ji Cheng's lips pursed his lips and looked away in annoyance. He always finds a way to get away from the question.?[ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces).

Zhao Ming was speechless as well. Ji Zhelan looks innocent but he knows how to talk eloquently.

….

Zhao Ming laid on the bed and sighed heavily looking at the ceiling. She was still feeling suffocated and uncomfortable in the heart when she remembers their meeting in the study room

They only sat together for only 15 minutes and after that Ji Cheng asked her to go back and rest.

She was laying on the bed in the same position for half an hour now.

" What are you doing?" When Ji Cheng came back, he found her lying on the bed lazily.

She raised her head and replied, " Nothing, I was just wondering how can someone as good looking as Ji Zhelan could be so sly?" She commented casually without thinking much.

However, she unconsciously looked up when she felt a cold stare on her.

She pursed her lips when she saw him staring at her with a cold gaze.

" Good looking? He is good looking? In what way?"

Zhao Ming laughed awkwardly sensing his bad mood.

" I mean.. what's the use of having good looks when you're not good at heart. So don't worry, you're the only man in this world for me." She said with a seductive smile on her lips, as she laid on her side and supported her head with her hand.

His lips curled up hearing her words. He walked to her and sat on the bed while staring at her.

" Hah. Do you think that I will believe your words? I saw the way you were staring at him and was smiling at him."

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and said," You're saying that I was checking him out? Woah….Ji Cheng, how can you blame me for something I didn't even do? You're so mean."

" It was your fault for acting so mysterious. I was so worried that?you might be hiding another concubine from me." She said in a heavy voice

"-_-"

Ji Cheng was speechless seeing the way she was turning the topic to him. Since when she became so sly?

He couldn't help but laugh seeing the way she was arguing with him. Technically she was talking and he was just listening and staring at her. Even though she was blaming him, arguing with him, he doesn't feel irritated at all. After all, this was the ideal life he has imagined.

Only she treats him as Ji Cheng and not the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty. Before coming to the chamber, he was a little worried about Ji Zhelan's arrival, but being with her, all of his worries dissipated.
