Gong Tian unlocked his phone and searched for the picture in it.
" Here."
Xie Ming took his phone and stared at the picture of thick paper which has turned dirty over the years. It's been very hard to read what's written on it as it has many stains on it and its condition was very bad.
But the picture he showed her was the best one among others.
There were some words written on it. Though she couldn't read them properly as they, but she frown appeared on her face when she realized that these words seemed familiar.
It's not her writing. But it's...Xie Ming's writing.
Since the day she came into this world, she has been looking at Xie Ming's writing and was trying to copy it so that people won't doubt her.
Because there is a huge difference between their writings. Zhao Ming has neat and fancy handwriting. Whereas Xie Ming's writing can be considered as clumsy one even in this world, leave alone the other where everyone gives so much importance to calligraphy.
And she can recognize Xie Ming's writing even if it is only a few words because there are certain strokes that she and Xie Ming make differently and they are easily recognizable.
She had to practice very hard to make her writing similar to hers, that's why she remembered her writing style very well.
She zoomed the picture to get a clear grasp of it.
It's Xie Ming's writing. But...how can it be?
...
Xie Ming came back home by evening as she promised Liwei.
She was in bewilderment since she had seen that picture.
Song Xiner even thought that she had gotten sick because of the heat.
" Miss, you're back." Yu Mei welcomed Xie Ming who just came back from outside
However, Xie Ming didn't even look at her and dashed to her room.
She tried to find Xie Ming's previous notebook and rummaged through the drawers because of it.
She sighed in relief when she finally found one of her notebooks.
She opened it and swallowed hard when she saw the writing. It was the same as in that photo.
Their souls can change but their style of writing cannot change. She knows it very well because she has experienced the same thing.
But..how can..it be.
She started sweating profusely and started to feel dizzy. She thankfully got hold of the chair and sat on it lifelessly.
She stared at her reflection in the mirror with a complicated gaze.
When she put all the pieces together and thought about that dream where Ji Cheng was opening his heart to her but this was something that never happened to her.
' So it's..not a dream?'
' Was that really Xie Ming?'
****
Ji Dynasty.
Zhao Ming was laying in her bed lazily and looked at the sunlight coming from the window.
It's been two weeks since she got Zhao Ming's memories back. During this time, it was hard for her to adjust herself to the immense emotions of Zhao Ming which she was feeling along with the pressure of her memories.
She really had a painful time here.
Because of all those complex emotions along with her memories, she couldn't talk to Ji Cheng as usual.
She felt uncomfortable and somewhat awkward.
That's why she decided to take some time alone and sort out her thoughts and emotions. She just can't continue to live like this.
It's so depressing.
That's why she didn't sleep with him for the last few days. She wanted to go back to her chamber, lotus pavilion.
But he didn't allow her to do so. Since she wanted some time alone, he did as she wanted. He stayed in another chamber to give her the space she wanted.
Truthfully, this action of him really moved her. He respected her decision and gave her the space she wanted even though he didn't want that.
At that moment, he looked extremely handsome and attractive.
" Miss, please wake up. The sun has become so bright and you're still in your bed. You need to get ready and have your breakfast."
" Ergh..." Zhao Ming groaned in annoyance when as always Lu shi ruined her moment with her nagging.
Lu shi was shouting from outside while knocking on the door constantly.
Zhao Ming forced herself to get up from the bed. She looks at the empty side of the bed.
" Seems like it's time to end his exile." She smiled unknowingly.
In these last days, she didn't see him much and separated herself from the outside world.
She never thought that she has gotten so used to him, that she will miss him so much. Whenever she eats, she unconsciously thinks about the time when he had accompanied her for dinner.
At that time, she realized that he has become an important part of her life. No matter what she did, she just couldn't help but think about him.
' Xie Ming, it seems things have become quite complicated.' her lips curled up into a smile as she looked at his painting on the wall.
This man has unknowingly become an important part of her life.
She walked towards the mirror and looked at her reflection in it
" Zhao Ming, let's not think about bad memories anymore. Let's make new memories."
Zhao Ming has seen the cruel side of the palace, but she still found a way to live in this cruel place.
She can take the help of Zhao Ming's memories but in the end, she is the one who has to live here..god knows for how long. So it's better to not think about anything negative and have fun.
She hurriedly got ready but didn't eat her breakfast. Instead, she walked out of the chamber and saw Feng Ju going towards the study.
Feng Ju stopped in his steps seeing Zhao Ming out of the chamber. It's been days since she came out of the room
He greeted her but Zhao Ming waved her hand and asked, " Where is His Majesty?"
He pursed his lips and replied, " He is in the study room. He is having a meeting with other ministers."
She nodded and asked, " Did he have breakfast?"
Feng Ju was caught off guard by her sudden question. He shook his head and said, " No. He didn't eat anything yet."
Zhao Ming pursed her lips as it's quite late and he didn't even eat anything. She was in bed because she wasn't hungry but..he was working and still didn't eat anything?
Feng Ju pursed his lips and said, " Your Majesty, pardon me for telling you this, but his majesty hasn't eaten properly since he has shifted to the other room. He always asks about you and your health but wasn't taking care of his health at all."
Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she realized that unknowingly she had hurt his feelings. She was having a hard time because of her feelings but he wasn't aware of this at all.
Yet he complied with her wishes and gave her the space she wanted. But in that process, he was struggling yet never complained about it.
"Okay. You go and do your work."
" Lu shi, bring me a tray of food. I am going to have breakfast with..my husband." Zhao Ming's lips curled up as she said these words.
