Chapter forty-one 

Next day

Ying Zetian was barely standing as she was dressed by Tang Wudi while she was hurriedly pulled into a room by Tang Wudi. It was a room filled with shelves placed with ancestral tablets. In the middle of the room was a table with four ancestral tablets and there were four floor length portraits behind this table. One of the reasons why Ying Zetian could come from being a beggar and a loser in the modern world is that the original Ying Zetian have a photographic memory which she inherited.

Based on the memories of the original Ying Zetian, Ying Zetian knew that the four potraits were that of Tang Liu Xing, Ying Taishan, Ying Mian and Ying Meei Meei. Or Ying Zetian should say that it is the original Ying Zetian mother, grandparents, and Tang Wudi mother. Ying Zetian tentatively touched the portrait of Ying Meei Meei with caution seemingly as if the portrait would disappear from her sight if she touched it too hard.

Ying Zetian knew how hard it was for Tang Wudi being able to construct this memorial room and the four potraits that seemingly to be so alive as if they will walk out any moment. It was only when Ying Zetian was faced with the portrait of Ying Meei Meei, then she came face to face with the deepest regret in her life. Maybe it was become of this regret that Ying Zetian forced herself to go through the countless of hardship that she had gone through in this world.

Ying Meei Meei was a replicate of Ying Zetian's mother in the modern world. And as Ying Zetian was a throughout loser in the modern world, she had caused her mother in the modern world to die of regrets. And when Ying Zetian came to this world, she was faced with another world where her mother had passed away again.

It was as if seeing the portrait of Ying Meei Meei and causing Shuang Guan Yi to lose heavily allow Ying Zetian to think that she has the right to cry. Ying Zetian crashed to the floor as she buried her head between her legs as she sobs in grief, her floodgates truly open. Tang Wudi sat himself down beside Ying Zetian and curve his hand around her as he softly pats her.

It was after a long time when Tang Wudi estimate that Ying Zetian will be sick if she continues crying. Tang Wudi love drinking warm tea so one of his orders to his dark guards was to keep a steady supply of warm tea in the rooms in the secret passageway. So, Tang Wudi stood up to pour a cup of warm tea and drink it. And while keeping the warm tea in his mouth, Tang Wudi forces open Ying Zetian mouth and let the warm tea sip into her throat.

Of course, based on Tang Wudi principles, having the chance to eat Ying Zetian, he will never lost it. Tang Wudi then slowly move his way to softly lick dry Ying Zetian tears while he said.

"My dear Ying er, do not cry. If not, my heart will pain. Nobody and nothing should make you cry. Of course, the only exception is when I am eating you, you could cry all you like, the louder the better."

Tang Wudi softly lay his forehead against Ying Zetian forehead as he watches her speaking while trying to stop sobbing.

"Wudi, if I am a soul from a different world, would you still like me?"

Tang Wudi pinch her nose while he placed a silk red string that have a piece of warm jade tied to it around Ying Zetian neck while he said. "My silly Ying er, even when you are a male, I am already prepared for the rest of my life with you. This red string, I have went to the god of matchmaker temple to pray. And this warm jade belongs to my mother, Tang Liu Xing. The warm jade will be good for a woman's body so carry with you at all times. Not to said mama Tang once said to me my mother said that this jade will belong to her daughter-in-law one day. And with the red string and warm jade with a nice lavender smell, it becomes a spell. A spell that you cast on me that no matter where or which world you go to, I will be the first one to find you."
