Chapter 767 - War Or Brothel?

Zhao Ming was lying on the bed with both of her hands placed on her abdomen gently, her forehead was covered in a cold sweat and her lips were quivering as she was experiencing the hell in her dream once again in her sleep.

The bloodied dream of standing in the middle of the battlefield while looking at the people, slashing each other with the sharpened swords, the very same nightmare has become a routine for her since Ji Cheng has left for the war.

Whenever she closes her eyes to sleep, she always sees the same dream, again and again, making her experience the ruthlessness of the battlefield every time.

Ji Cheng who was sitting beside her on a stool noticed her frowning deep in her sleep and was shivering in her sleep. Her pale face and the murmurs in her sleep were enough for him to know that she was having a nightmare.

" Zhao Ming! Zhao Ming!" he called her out by shaking her arms and patting her cheeks to wake her up from this dream.

" JI CHENG!!" her eyes snapped open, as she woke up with a gasp from the nightmare and stared at the canopy of the bed above her. Her chest heaved as he panted while recalling the fear that she just experienced.

" So..it was a dream." she sighed in relief thinking about the fear that she has felt back then. She woke up from the dream when Ji Cheng was in front of her and was about to be stabbed with the enemy\'s sword.

Thank God!! It was a dream.

As she was still suffering the after-effects of the dream, a hand reached out to her to caress her face which startled her. However, when she saw Ji Cheng sitting on a stool, looking at her with worried expressions, her eyes welled up.

For a moment, she thought that his return was just a dream, but it was not. He is finally back!!

She tried to sit up but due to weakness, she couldn\'t sit up without his support. He helped her to sit against the wall of the bed and supported her back with a pillow.

" Ji...Cheng.."

She looked at him hesitantly and called out his name in a low voice but her voice choked and her eyes were glistening with tears.

Ji Cheng sighed seeing her crying like a baby and wiped her tears with a thumb from the corner of her eyes, " Shh. Relax. I am here, don\'t be scared anymore. Hmm"

After sobbing for a good time, she finally calmed down and nodded while wiping her tears with her sleeves.

He held her hand and rubbed the back of her hand tenderly, while looking into her eyes, assuring her with his soothing gaze.

"How long has it been since I was sleeping? Where is everyone?" She asked when she remembered that it was the occasion of his return and she fainted at the crucial moment. The return of the Emperor from a war is a congratulatory event, not only for the royals or nobles but for the commoners as well.

He should be with everyone as they fulfilled the congratulatory rituals but he was here, sitting beside her.

" It\'s not that long. You were unconscious for only a few hours." He said, which caused her to gasp in shock.

" Few hours? Oh My, it has already turned dark." her mouth opened in shock when she saw the darkness outside the window.

" Did I mess up again? I ruined your grand welcome, isn\'t it?" she asked in a low-hesitating voice. She was feeling guilty that she snatched the special moment from him. She doesn\'t remember much after she fell unconscious, but she remembers him calling her name before she lost her consciousness.

He raised his brows seeing her hesitant and nervous appearance. Something was strange.

He frowned and pinched her chin while looking at her suspiciously. He turned her face to the left and then to the right while checking her out.

" What are you doing?" Zhao Ming asked in confusion seeing him acting strangely.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and said, " Who are you? You can\'t be Zhao Ming, I mean Xie Ming. She never acts like this."

" Zhao Ming, did...did you return to your body?" he asked, afraid that after the ritual, they have changed bodies again and have returned to their original bodies.

"....."

Zhao Ming\'s expressions hardened upon hearing his words. She glared at him and asked in an icy-indifferent tone which caused the temperature in the room to decrease miraculously, " You seem to be happy about it!" she commented making him stiffen at her sudden interrogative tone.

" Oh?" Ji Cheng blinked when he heard her words in which she enunciated on every word slowly, making it even more chilling.

" No...I wasn\'t-

" Hah. Do you think I can\'t be gentle and nice to others? What do you think I am? Am I a heartless person to think about myself all the time and ignore others?"

" Do you think that only the real Zhao Ming can be gentle and act like a mother-goddess, then what I am? A villainess who always tortures the weak and laughs crazily upon seeing others in pain?" she asks coldly without stopping in a way to catch her breath.

Ji Cheng\'s mouth fell open when she saw her characters changing from weak rabbit to blood-thirsty beast. She is Zhao Ming indeed.

Her ferocious change made it clear to him that she is Zhao Ming and hasn\'t changed back. However, seeing her changing attitude like she was changing clothes is surprising, now he understood the words that Jia shi has told him before coming to the chamber.

" Your Majesty, Zhao Ming is over 12 weeks pregnant now. Pregnancy not only affects the mother\'s physical condition but mental as well. Along with feeling nauseous and tired all time, she might look different as a person as well."

" She might get angry at you at one moment, and at the other, she will be crying. These things cannot be controlled with medicine nor can be treated. It\'s normal in pregnancy. So you have to be understanding and not aggravate her."

Recalling Jia shi\'s words and seeing Zhao Ming\'s ferocious glare as if she will eat him alive, he understood. It\'s better to seal his mouth shut, he might be an Emperor who has returned from the bloodiest war, but in front of her, he is just Ji Cheng...her husband and soon going to be a father.

\'Let\'s get through this with patience.\' he took a deep breath and listened to the sharp words throwing his way.

" Since I am pregnant, do you think that I have changed? Do you not like me anymore? Did you find another woman while you were out in the war? Don\'t tell me you brought another consort for me? " She gasped in shock thinking about how he brought Xiao Li after the war.

Suddenly the atmosphere changed and she started sobbing while questioning him.

"...."

Since her crying like this, he felt like crying too. He was hoping for some romantic moments with her but why was he being questioned as if he went to the brothel than the war?

Zhao Ming felt her heart ripping in heartache as the emotions were taking over her, making her act like crazy and she only wanted to cry and cry. The deep emotions from the nightmare that she just had and the overwhelming emotions of his return were taking over her sanity.

As she was crying, while not knowing why she was crying, she suddenly felt a pair of lips clashing over hers, making her stop in an instant. Her eyes widened as she looked at Ji Cheng\'s face from close and those eyelashes looked even longer and deeper with his eyes closed.

Seeing that she stopped crying and wasn\'t angry at him, the corner of his lips stretched into a smile as he whispered against her lips, " Did you forgot to close your eyes again? Don\'t tell me you want to keep staring at my face while kissing?"

" Hmm?" Zhao Ming was surprised upon hearing his words. These words seem similar, her ears turned crimson due to embarrassment as she immediately shut her eyes close and surrendered to his slow-tickling kiss.
