Chapter 265 - Do You Want To Let Your Secret Known By Everyone?

After sending Lu shi away, Zhao Ming went to meet Master Li.

On her way to his chamber, she was worried that if that old man really knows something about her or just bluffing like that.

When she reached in front of Master Li's chamber, she looked at the big room embellished with beautiful statues at the entrance.

Though it's been a while she was living in this palace, she was still fascinated with this place. This place is free of pollution and has fresh air unlike the atmosphere of cities which is full of noises of horns and dust or pollution.

The ancient architecture was well built that too without any machines that they used in modern times. Though these people do not have many advanced techniques however they were talented.

In her last life, she never had a chance to visit any historical place but she had seen many ancient ornaments in the exhibitions and even had brought some for the collection. Those ornaments were expensive and were in great demand.

But all these items were not matched from the items she has seen here. The items here are authentic and beautiful. Many items that were sold in the exhibitions were told to be authentic and ancient but many times they were not as old that they claimed it to be.

The ornaments here were very beautiful and carved with the utmost care.

The only problem she had here was with clothes. The clothes are beautiful but they are too heavy for her to wear. She can't wear such heavy and glittery clothes.

She loves to collect all these items but does not want to wear these things. She is just obsessed to collect all these ornaments and clothes but always wears light material clothes and gowns.

Though according to her status as Empress, her clothes are light and not appropriate for her status however her styling and beauty overlooks everything. She will look beautiful in whatever she wears.

Whatever, she wears, she can make it look neat and beautiful.

….

After gathering her courage she walked up the steps and stood at the door of the Chamber. The door of the chamber was half closed and she could see a view of inside.

She tried to peek inside but couldn't see anything. As she was peeking inside the room while holding the door and tilting her head to see the ongoing inside the room, a voice could be heard from behind, " There is no one in the room."

" It looks likes so…," she replied in a low voice while struggling to look inside but didn't see anyone.

" -_- " Her body froze in the same sneaky position when she realized that the voice sounded familiar. The heavy voice which was full of confidence and aura was too familiar.

It was Master Li.

She bit her lower in regret as she hesitantly turned around to see the old man looking at her with his brows raised in a domineering manner.

Master Li has gone out to see around the palace but when he returned, he saw Zhao Ming sneaking around his place and was trying to peek inside the room through the half-open door.

He raised his brows in interest. He knows Zhao Ming since childhood because Zhao Bai and he was were very good friends and have grown together.

Zhao Bai and he have married two sisters from the same family as Zhao Bai's wife is Master Li's wife sister. They are not only friends but relatives also.

In this sense, Master Li was Zhao Ming's uncle also. So he knows her since she was a young girl and was always cheerful and intelligent.

He looked at Zhao Ming indifferently and saw her struggling to try peeking inside but when she was about to enter the room, he finally spoke and said, " There is no one in the room."

His lips curled upwards seeing her frozen body and expressions. He could see her stiffened expressions and her awkward smile which was uglier than crying.

He cleared his throat and walked towards his room and asked indifferently, " Is there anything that I can help Her highness with?"

Zhao Ming turned to look at the old man with a grey beard and a white cap over his head covering his grey hair. The old man's face was covered with wrinkles and lines which can be shown on people's faces with their age.

The old man has that aura that could make other people feel intimidated by him and afraid of him. Zhao Ming was no exception.

She was sneak peeking into his room when he caught her red-handed and she was an Empress. It was inappropriate for her to sneak around like this and this man already thinks that she was faking her memory loss.

Not only that, this old man said the same in front of Ji Cheng either. She was afraid that he would tell Ji Cheng those things that shouldn't be revealed yet.

She swallowed her saliva as she looked at his frowned expressions.

" Master Li, I have something to talk to you about. Can you spare me some time?" she said while straightening her back and went directly to the topic.

She does not want to speak in circles and that's why asked directly.

The old man looked at her as she checked her from top to below. Zhao Ming narrowed her eyes as she saw the old man looking at her weird way.

' Is he a pervert?' she was confused with his uncomfortable gaze and called him again when she didn't hear anything from him, " Master Li?"

The old man looked at her face again and started to walk towards his room without saying any word.

Zhao Ming was confused seeing the indifferent attitude of the old man and the way he walked towards his room.

She saw him passing by her without even glancing at her. She was speechless seeing him ignoring her.

She stood there in the same position and saw the man going inside the room.

When the man entered his room, he turned around to see Zhao Ming outside standing at the doorways and said, " Do you want to talk outside? Do want to let everyone about your secret?" he asked in a cold and indifferent tone.

Zhao Ming: " -_- "

Zhao Ming was speechless when she heard his words. She squinted her eyes and looked at him, 'Secret? Did he know my secret?' she silently looked at the man in confusion but ended up entering his room.

She was dumbfounded when the man suddenly shut off the door. She looked at him in disbelief, " What are you doing? Why did you shut the door? You.. let me tell you one thing. I am a blackbelt in taekwondo. So don't you dare do anything to me." she stuttered as she completed her gaze.

She was shocked when the old man suddenly shut off the door behind and stared at her. She thought that he has some bad intentions towards her that's why he shut the door.

Though he was old, she was still afraid and many old people contain bad feelings towards women and she has some wrong presumptions about this era due to the dramas that she has watched.

She has seen in the dramas that even old men and ministers love to visit brothels and always keep women around her.

She was on her guard with her hands in front and was in posture to ready to attack. She has learned a few moves of taekwondo but she was not a black belt. Right now, she just said it in a whim but she was worried now.

The man scoffed seeing her behaving so mindlessly and said, " Do you want to let your secret known by everyone?" he said while signaling her to see outside the window.

She paused in her actions and looked outside the window only to find a young woman sneaking in the garden outside and was trying to see inside the room.

Zhao Ming narrowed her eyes and realized that she was the same girl who always follows Xiao Li around and seemed to be suspicious.

Suddenly her eyes lit up when she realized that the girl was following her. She has seen this girl around the lotus pavilion many times but never thought much.

But today when Lu shi was not with her and this was not the commonplace where everyone would come. So there is no reason for her to come here unless she was following her.

She looked at the old man and was thankful for his thoughtfulness. If they had talked outside then the girl would have heard their words and it would have created difficulties for her.

She pursed her lips tight when she realized her fighting posture and straightened her back immediately. She was embarrassed and guilty for thinking wrongly of the old man in front of her.

This man was just being worried and careful for her sake. But now she was getting more and more curious about this man and his identity.
