ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY Chapter 246 - She won't get her memories because….

Zhao Ming sat on the bed and looked at the old man approaching her who has a white long beard with wrinkles covered all over his face who was wearing a white robe and a white long hat. 

His whole aura was very different from the doctor which has treated her earlier. She felt her palms sweating when the doctor sat on the chair beside her bed and took her hand from her lap which has been turned into a fist. 

She nervously looked at Ji Cheng and he smiled at her assuringly and said, " This is Master Li who has served as the Imperial Doctor at the time of the Old Emperor." 

" After his death, he left for the mountains to meditate leaving the Palace. However, I searched for him and bring him here to treat you so that you can get better. "

" He is much more senior and experienced than our Imperial doctor and can figure out your problem in an instant. So don't be nervous and let him check your pulse," he said while nodding her head in encouragement. 

He thought that she was worried about seeing the unknown man who was treating her. After all, the aura that Master Li gives was quite burdensome and reserved. 

Zhao Ming forced an awkward smile when she heard his words. At first, she was assuming things but there were some chances that this man might not be as good as he looks. 

But Ji Cheng's words confirmed that this doctor was more amazing that the imperial doctor who has announced her having amnesia before. 

The last time, when the doctor has checked her condition, he was fl.u.s.tered because besides the weakness and low blood pressure he did not find any problems with her health. 

He does not feel that she has something wrong with her brain. But seeing her unfamiliar behavior and not recognizing anyone brought him into a spot. 

If he could not figure out the problem with Zhao Ming's health than shouldn't the Emperor throw him out of the palace? 

Moreover, Zhao Ming kept insisting that she does not remember anything not even Ji Cheng and nor herself. 

He could not possibly say that she was pretending to lost her memories as she was still the Empress and Ji Cheng would have caught and thrown him into the chamber to torture him for accusing the Empress to feign illness. 

So he could only diagnose that she has amnesia due to the effects of her being woken up from the coma and stated that she will get her memories soon as it is only temporary amnesia and she needs to focus on food and take nutritious food and medicine on time. 

He thought that she might get healthy with the medicine and will get her memories back. After telling his diagnosis to the Emperor, he felt that this might be the right thing to do and she must have forgotten her memories due to the shock only. 

The old man took her hand in his and closed his eyes to feel her pulse. Zhao Ming was restless and looking at the man in nervousness that he will find that she was pretending to have amnesia.

The room was quiet and she felt that this silence was killing her and she could feel her heart beating crazily. A sweat bead rolled down from her forehead to her cheeks and making her more nervous.

After a few minutes of holding her hand and feeling her pulse, the doctor opened his eyes and released her hand and placed it back on her lap with ease.

She saw his unhurried actions and felt more nervous when she first arrived at this unfamiliar strange world.

The man opened his eyes and did not say anything and kept staring at Zhao Ming with his mysterious eyes.

Zhao Ming felt chills when he looked at her with the mysteriousness in his eyes and she saw the corners of lips curving up as if he was mocking her.

She stared at him in bewilderment seeing his strange behavior. The man whose face was covered with wrinkles and his eyes were big which was mysteriously looking at her.

She felt her hair standing up in nervousness and pressure from his gaze making her uncomfortable.

Ji Cheng also noticed the old man's actions and waited for him to say something. However, the old man did not say anything and kept staring at Zhao Ming. 

He also felt uncomfortable that there must be a problem that's why he is not speaking, so he took the initiative and asked, " Master Li, is there any problem with Zhao Ming's health? When will her memories come back?" he asked carefully. 

The old man then turned to look at Ji Cheng and said, " His highnesses, the Empress does not have any problem other than indigestion." he said with a blank expression on his face. 

Zhao Ming:" - _- "

Ji Cheng:" - _- "

Both Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming were speechless when they heard the old man's words. 

Ji Cheng wanted to know why she fainted last night or when will she will recover her memories but the old man was telling him that she has no issues other than indigestion. 

Suddenly the atmosphere became awkward and Zhao Ming's face turned crimson red when she heard the man's words and the way he said it to Ji Cheng. 

It's embarrassing because he said it in front of Ji Cheng and it was weird for him to say these words to him. 

She gritted her teeth tightly and calmed herself thinking that he did not say anything else.

The old man didn't notice their displeased and awkward expressions and continued, " Her Highness must have eaten too much and that too very quickly that's why she has indigestion. I suggest for her to eat light food for a few days and eat less." 

The man turned her attention to Zhao Ming and said, " You can also take a walk after eating every time, this will help you to digest your food properly. Other than that you're healthy now. Your body has recovered quite well in the short period. " the old man smiled at Zhao Ming mysteriously. 

Zhao Ming narrowed her eyes and felt weird seeing his expressions. This man was giving her a very weird and mysterious vibe. 

She felt uncomfortable whenever she met eyes with him. 

Ji Cheng coughed lightly and said, " Yes. We will take care of that." his ears has been turned red from embarrassment and was trying to control himself from chuckling. 

He cleared his throat lightly and looked at the doctor and asked, " Yesterday she fainted, so I wanted you to look at her and find why did she faint last night? Also, it's been a few days that she has woken up from the coma but she hadn't got her memories back. I wanted to know when she will get her memories back?" 

" the currently active imperial doctor has told us that she will get her memories back soon but she didn't. Is there a way that she will get her memories back? " he asked him with his cold and worried expression on his face. 

When Zhao Ming heard his question, she turned to look at Ji Cheng in worry and nervousness. 

She looked at the old man's expression and he didn't say anything and just keep looking at her with his same mysterious gaze. 

She bit her lower lip in nervousness as she doesn't know why the man in front of behaving like he knows something about her? 

The doctor turned his eyes at Ji Cheng and smiled a little and said, " She won't get her memories back." he said with a blank and mysterious expression on his face. 

Ji Cheng's eyes darkened as he asked in a domineering and heavy voice, " What? Why won't she get her memories back?" 

He was getting anxious about what the old man has said. Though he has no issue with Zhao Ming being this way instead he likes her more and she interests him more. 

Master Li was truly a legend in medicine and he was also a friend of Zhao Ming's father, Zhao Bai. 

The only difference was that Zhao Bai serves as the military doctor while Master Li serves the Royal family. 

Sometimes, Zhao Bai comes to the capital and visits Master Li in the palace. That's how his relationship with the old Emperor got better because he has seen the capability of Zhao Bai with his own eyes. 

Zhao Bai has immense and unique knowledge and eyes for medicine which compels him to create more and more medicine to cure different kinds of diseases. 

That's why he also enthroned Zhao Ming with Ji Cheng because he liked him and his only daughter who has taken the medicinal art from her father. 

Master Li did not say anything nor got nervous when he heard Ji Cheng's question and dark face. He stood there rooted in his spot and smiled subtly. 

He knows Zhao Ming since the day she was born and her father was a very good friend of his and he was the reason why he got so far in this medicinal field. 

He shifted his gaze at Zhao Ming and said, " She won't get her memories because….
