Zhao Ming was stunned when the Old Man turned towards her and unhurriedly said, " She won"t get her memories because…" his slow-paced words were making her scared and nervous.
Her eyes were fixated on him and were trying to figure out his thoughts. The man gives her unexplainable smirk and continued, " She won"t get her memories because..she hadn"t lost them." he said his words slowly while looking at Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming felt like a bomb just thrown on her and her fear has come true. It seems that the man noticed that she was pretending to forget her memories.
But the main problem was, she wasn"t pretending but does not have her memories.
" What can she do if she doesn"t have memories? It"s not like she was deliberately pretending to feign amnesia. If these people believed this old man"s words, then she has no idea what will happen to her?"
Her hands curled up in a fist and held her dress tightly resulting in crumpling it. Her forehead was covered in sweat beads and her whole body felt hot and trembling with nervousness.
Ji Cheng furrowed his brows and looked at Zhao Ming in confusion. The old man was an expert in medicine and could figure out the problem with someone else"s body only by checking their pulse.
And hearing these words from his mouth, he was stunned and in a bewildered state. He was confused and could not believe that Zhao Ming was pretending to be sick and having no memories because her actions were different from before and it does not seem to be pretending.
He s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to the old man and asked in confusion hesitantly, " What do you that she has not lost her memories? Are you trying to say that the Empress was trying to pretend that she has forgotten her memories?" his voice was slightly loud and obviously irritated and fumed.
Zhao Ming glanced at the agitated expressions of Ji Cheng and was afraid that he would also believe the doctor"s words and then she would be given the punishment to lie to everyone.
She bites her lower lip trying to control her nerves.
" What do I do? It seems that this man will reveal that I don"t have amnesia, then how would I handle this situation?"
The old man looked at the Ji Cheng and his agitated expressions. He looked at carefully and smiled a little which annoyed Zhao Ming who was standing on the side.
She was getting angry at the slow-paced and unhurried actions of the man. It seems like he was deliberately creating suspense to annoy her.
He stood up and looked at Ji Cheng and said, " I am not saying that her highness is pretending to have amnesia, it just she does not have those memories, so how could she forget them?" he said while looking straight into Ji Cheng"s eyes.
Ji Cheng was more confused when he heard the man"s words.
" What does he mean by she does not have those memories? Isn"t it the same that she lost her memories due to amnesia? Why does this man"s words more strange?"
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in dissatisfaction. He has heard about his immense knowledge in medicine also this man was close to Zhao Ming"s father and worked together with him, so he thought that he must be trustworthy.
However, when Zhao Ming heard the man"s words, she had a conflicted look on her face. She looked at the man in bewilderment and nervousness.
Unlike others, his words do not seem like nonsense to her because what he said was correct. She hadn"t forgotten her memories but she doesn"t have any. He was saying correct and more surprising ways that how could he figure out that she does not have any memories?
" Does this man knows that I am not Zhao Ming? Or he is just speculating and talking nonsense?" she wondered as she stared at the man from sides.
" So exactly what do you want to say? When can she get her memories back?" Ji cheng"s patience was leaving, so he directly asked him the question.
The old man looked at him and stated, " She can"t get her memories back, because she doesn"t have one. "
" Am I right, her highness?" the man turned to look at Zhao Ming and smiled.
Zhao Ming was baffled when he suddenly asked her this question. She has no idea how to react to his question. She turned to look at Ji Cheng when she has no idea how to react.
Ji Cheng saw Zhao Ming"s confused and bewildered expressions and felt that she was scared of this man and his words also annoyed him.
Ji Cheng was displeased when he heard the confusing words of the old man. The man who has stayed in the mountains for long must have lost his sanity and his power to treat others that"s why he was behaving like this.
" Master Li I am glad that you came on my request to check on the Empress, you have done your work, so you can leave after taking your reward. " he called Feng Ju in as he completed his words ignoring the man"s words
He does not want to hear any nonsense from this man who does not seem to be in his senses. He was talking rubbish and was behaving weirdly.
He felt that it was a waste of time that he made him check on Zhao Ming and she had to face the humiliation that she has suffered from the words of the old man.
He looked at Zhao Ming, whose expressions do not seem to be right and she was looking more pale and sickly than before.
But for her, it was her nervousness rather than sickness. It was the first time that someone predicted her condition right.
She can see that the man in front of her was not normal and he knows something about her.
The man didn"t respond to Ji Cheng"s polite yet displeased words. He plainly stood there and glanced at Zhao Ming who was standing at the side and smiled ambitiously.
Zhao Ming"s eyes widened in nervousness, now she was sure that the man knows something about her.
However, she could not ask him about this matter in front of Ji Cheng and the man also lives in mountains as well so she has to do something to make him stay at the palace for long, otherwise she will lose her only glimmer of hope.
" What if this man can help me to go back to my world?" Zhao Ming"s eyes s.h.i.+ned at the thought as she looked at the man.
But the next moment, the door of the room pushed opened and Feng Ju opened with a small pouch in his hands and pa.s.sed it to Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng pa.s.sed it to the old man and said, " Master Li, this is your reward. This is 30 gold coins that I am giving you to check on the EMpress. Thank You for coming this far on my request. This is your reward for coming this far." he slightly nodded while handing the pouch to the old man.
The old man"s expressions darkened as he looked at Ji Cheng with dissatisfaction and said, " I don"t need this reward. I came to see the Empress because I am also worried about her because she was the daughter of my friend. Now he is no more, so I have to look after her."
" that"s why I came to check on her. When I have seen that she is safe and sound, so there is no need for me to stay here any longer. I think I should leave now." the man bowed slightly before he started walking towards the door.
Ji Cheng was also baffled when he heard his words and the way he said. " safe and sound". He was confused about what he meant by safe and sound?
Whereas Zhao Ming who was standing on the side, also stunned to hear his words. Now she realized that this man knows Zhao Ming and her father as well. By now, n.o.body has told him that who he is, so she was not sure about this man.
But it seems that this man seems to have some connection with Zhao Ming and also knows about something as well that no one else knows.
She looked at the back of the man who rejected the reward of 30 gold coins which was a big amount just to check on someone and walked away without waiting to hear Ji Cheng"s words.
He didn"t give him the face that other people used to give and walked away without waiting for anyone.
Zhao Ming felt that if she lost him, then there is no way that she can find the truth about her transmigration and why she didn"t give any memories. So without looking at anyone, she shouted, " Wait.." her voice was loud and clear which startled Ji Cheng and Feng Ju as well because she has shouted like this.
They have not expected her to shout at the man and call him back. They were confused about why she had called the man when he was accusing her of feigning her amnesia.
" However, they don"t know that the man in front of her was the answer to all her questions. If she lost this man, then she would not know why everything happened to her and why she wasn"t given any memories like Zhao Ming.
