Chapter Forty 

Ying Zetian was still half asleep when she moved around in discomfort while murmuring that she was sticky and her back in pain.

"My dear Ying er is in pain and sticky. Em, maybe is time for me to bring you to my private hot spring. There is no time to lost, I will bring you to the hot spring now." Tang Wudi carry Ying Zetian up in a princess hug and moved to the next room where the hot spring is in without further ado.

Ying Zetian was still angry at Tang Wudi rush actions and refused to face him while they were in the hot springs. Tang Wudi could see that Ying Zetian was not really that angry and laughingly turn her around while enclosing her in his embrace while they sat on the steps of the hot spring. Tang Wudi then laid his head on Ying Zetian shoulders while he keeps on breathing at her ears while he happily watches the usual expressionless Ying Zetian ears turn red.

"Ying er, if I know you like a wolf better than a puppy dog. I will have a long time ago let my true nature out. You do not know how tired I am acting like a puppy dog. By the way, next time you could only be my private doctor. All the more now that I know you are a female and you already belong to me, the only one you see naked is me."

Ying Zetian did not even notice that it was with reluctance that she pushes Tang Wudi away. Then Ying Zetian started to finally tell Tang Wudi of her full plans on how to deal with the four gentry families. Ying Zetian is not of the mindset to torture her enemies mentally. Ying Zetian wanted with the least effect on her to bring down all the four gentry families at one go. Ying Zetian do not want her whole life to be struck in the process of seeking revenge. So, Ying Zetian further elaborates on the fact that all her chess pieces is in place already. And if heaven did not help her by letting a war happen, Ying Zetian will very soon "help" to launch a war. As Ying Zetian knew that only a war will help her successfully launched a coup and thus bringing down the four gentry families.

With a whoosh of breath, Ying Zetian head was pulled down by Tang Wudi for a kiss. Ying Zetian wanted to protest but when her mouth open, Tang Wudi took the chance to entangle her tongue together with his. Ying Zetian and Tang Wudi did not even notice that they were so engrossed in the kiss until they had slip into the hot spring water. Tang Wudi pull Ying Zetian out of the hot spring when he laughingly said.

"Why my Ying er still do not know how to breath when kissing. Is it my dear Ying er is wanting for more lessons from me?"

Ying Zetian never expected herself to behave like a woman without brains one day. But Ying Zetian could not control herself as she hit Tang Wudi's chest in anger while she said.

"Can you be more normal? I already belong to you already and could not escape from your clutches for the rest of my life. I promise you that I will be married to you the moment we have succeed in seeking revenge. but now you must promise me that our relationship must be kept secret. After all I must be a male now and could not bluntly be together with you. A male in Tai Ping could do much more than a female."

Tang Wudi pull Ying Zetian hands together while he breathes slowly at her hands.

"Okay, okay, my dear, Ying er, do not be angry anymore. my heart will be in pain if your hands pain too much from hitting me. next time I hit myself, okay?"

Ying Zetian could not bear to be at the losing end ever since she was pull into the secret passageway, so she gives in to her curiosity and started to explore Tang Wudi clearly defined eight pack abs. After all, it was the first time that Ying Zetian in her two lifetimes in the modern and ancient world have access to such a fine specimen of a man and he was some more her lover. Ying Zetian watches as her touch curiously change Tang Wudi eyes color from a deep black to a clear violet color.

"How beautiful, Wudi, your eyes turn into a clear violet color." Ying Zetian said while her hands was still exploring every inch of Tang Wudi's well-built body.

"At the moment, my dear Ying er, I do not care about anything else expect you be responsible for the fire that you lit." Tang Wudi said while he was still able to control himself and carry Ying Zetian out from the hot spring in a rush.

"Wait, we will catch a cold if both of us are wet!" Ying Zetian makes her last feeble protest.

"Ying er, do not worry. I will personally dry every inch of you – with my tongue. You could choose to do the same to me." Tang Wudi said while he throws Ying Zetian onto the bed that was in the hot spring room.

And thus, Ying Zetian already sore throat was on true fire as she was send screaming again and she could not think anymore.
