Chapter 761 - I will come back soon!

#

Liwei was sitting beside Xie Ming's hospital bed where she was lying in a blue hospital gown, her chestnut-brown hair spread on the white pillow. Her lips were chapped and her pale face was showing how much she had exhausted herself during the ritual. 

After the ritual ended and he regained his consciousness, he woke up to witness the complete darkness, only the moonlight was shining over them. The fire that was burning earlier was extinguished while Ji Cheng who was standing beside him was nowhere to be found. 

Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng disappeared from the world as if they never existed. Only Zhao Ming's bag was on the ground that she brought with her. 

He doesn't remember how things turned out, the last thing he could remember was the white light that emerged from the fire that blinded him and he lost his consciousness after that as if he was hypnotized. 

When his eyes fell on Xie Ming who was lying on the ground, near where the fire was burning earlier startled him. She was groaning in pain, her face was pale and she looked in immense pain, her hands were even trembling, not sure it was because of cold or weakness.

-

It's been hours and she hasn't regained her consciousness yet. The doctors have checked on her but couldn't find anything strange with her. Grandfather Su has told him that it was because of weakness and exhaustion that she was unconscious and will soon wake up after resting. 

However, he cannot be at peace until she wakes up. Remembering how it took her so long to wake up the last time, he was afraid that something like that might happen again. 

" Zhao Ming...please don't go back and stay here. You need to stay here to be with me, with your Liwei." he kissed her hand gently and rubbed it to warm her cold hands while staring at her pale-face. 

-

The next day, 

" Where is Zhao Ming? Did they go back?" Xie Ming asked weakly, her back was supported against the hospital bed which has been elevated to make her comfortable. 

Liwei sighed seeing her asking questions about them as soon as she woke up. She can't even speak properly due to weakness but wants to know what happened to Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng.

" They must be. When I woke up, there was no one other than you. So they must have gone back to their world." 

She nodded, however, she still couldn't help but be worried about them. Since Zhao Ming was pregnant, the ritual was more dangerous for her and could even danger her life. 

" I hope she will be fine," she murmured in a low voice. 

" I can't believe that you didn't bring her to meet me. How can you do this to me?" Grandfather Su who was sitting on the couch in the hospital room complained as he slammed his wooden stick on the ground. 

She pursed her lips as she realized that he was in the room and without noticing his presence, she was asking about Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng. However, Liwei has already told him the truth about Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng, since he needed to check her according to the same.

" Mr. Su, if Zhao Ming has come to see you, rather than being glad, I am sure she would have loathed the smell of medicines and chemicals the most. She hates the smell of disinfectants in the hospital." Liwei laughed after saying this as if he had made the funniest joke. 

But no one laughed. 

Grandfather Su smirked, " Liwei, you need to be careful. You're talking about your ex-wife in front of your current wife. Even though they are the same, they are still different. You're creating problems for yourself by talking about what she used to like or not." 

"..."

Liwei was surprised when he heard his comment and glanced at Xie Ming who didn't say anything, just avoided him. That time he realized, he was done for. 

-

Ji Dynasty. 

At dawn, Ji Cheng was sitting on the bed and stared at Zhao Ming who was still sleeping, she was frowning in her sleep as if having a nightmare. He bends down and places a gentle kiss on her forehead, " Don't worry. I will come back soon."

After the sweet peck, her frown disappeared and a mild smile took place. She didn't wake up, but seeing her smiling in her sleep, he couldn't help himself and bent down to place a quick peck on her lips. 

He never expected that he had to leave her alone in this condition alone when she needs him the most. He has tormented her the most in the last few weeks when she needed him the most, yet he is leaving her again when they finally get together. 

He caressed her stomach gently, " My child, take care of your mother when I am not by her side. Your father will come to you soon." 

With a heavy heart, he left the room, leaving the sleeping Zhao Ming behind alone in the room. 

-

Outside, the horses and guards were all ready with the things that they needed for their journey and were waiting for him. He pursed his lips when he saw Wen Xu and Jia Shi who were also waiting for him. 

He was planning to leave without telling anyone but seems like Wen Ru has informed everyone ahead. He sighed and walked towards the horse when Wen Xu held onto his arm tightly. 

" Ji Cheng, how can you leave like this? You told those ministers about your departure but not your mother? Do you hate me that much?" She cried while holding onto his sleeve. 

Ji Cheng was also surprised to see her crying like this. He has always thought that she doesn't care about anyone other than herself. But seeing her crying like this, he felt something strange in his heart. 

" You don't need to worry. I will be back soon." He removed her hands from his sleeve and nodded at Jia shi who was looking at him with her teary eyes but was holding onto her composure. 

" Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. We will take care of Her Majesty in your absence. Please take care of yourself during this journey...and be safe." She said politely, hearing her words,  Ji Cheng glanced at Wen Ru, and seeing him avoiding his gaze, he understood that Wen Ru has already told them the news of Zhao Ming's pregnancy. 

However, seeing the way she didn't mention anything about it in front of everyone, they must be respecting his words and trying to hide this news from everyone. 

" Please take care of her. And yourself too, Head Consort Jia Shi." 

" Mother, I hope in my absence, you will not fight with Zhao Ming again. She needs your support at this time, please take care of her." He turned to Wen Xu who was sobbing. 

She nodded and tried to compose herself before speaking, " Don't worry about anything. I will handle the affairs of the Palace and harem as well. And for Zhao Ming, there is no reason for us to fight about anything. I am not that heartless to fight a pre….Empress of Ji Dynasty." she changed her words seeing that there were many guards and maids around them. 

" Take care of yourself and don't get hurt." She patted his arm and said her final goodbye to him. 

Ji Cheng turned to look at the main palace for the last time before getting on the horse and leaving the palace for the border.
