Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 74 - She Woke Up.

The night was dark and gloomy, only the noise of thunderstorms can be heard. It was raining heavily, no one can be seen outside. The noise of thunderstorm and rain is chilling and hair raising. It's windy and raining and animals and birds were running here and there for shelter.

In the Ming's Chamber.

A girl was laying on the bed, with a pale face, it was Zhao Ming. Lu Shi, her maid was sleeping near her bed. She always sleeps in her room to check on her condition. It was a cold night with heavy thunderstorms. She was feeling cold but didn't wake up. She was very tired for the whole day, taking care of her highness. She slept while crying because she heard from the maids, that the title of Empress will be given to Xiao Li. She was upset about her Miss.

While she was in deep slumber, the girl beside her on the bed, moved. She moved her fingers. She was trying to open her eyes, but couldn't open them. She remembers what happened to her, she had given her memories to Zhao Ming who was now living as Xie Ming. She vanished afterward. She thought she will die and will be taken to heaven.

After so many efforts, she was finally able to open her eyes. Her whole body was stiff, and she was feeling cold. She was wet from the rain, as the window was opened due to heavy wind and rainwater make her wet.

When she opened her eyes, she could only see darkness. There was not a single ray of light as the moon was hidden due to thunderstorms. She was confused.

She thought to herself, ' Is this the afterlife? Am I really dead? Haish, I never thought that I will die at such a young age. I haven't done anything yet, I have yet to buy the latest dress collection of brand C but what had happened to me. I have to give my body to that Zhao Ming. Why am I so unlucky.' she cried in her heart.

Then she looked around, ' There is no one to lead me to the heaven or bridge of past life. Generally in the dramas, they show that there will be a Grim Reaper to escort the soul, but I can't see anybody. Do I have to find them myself?' She thought to herself.

" What a tough life, Xie Ming," she thought out loud.

Lu shi heard the voice but she thought it was her imagination because while staying in this room, with Zhao Ming there are many times that she had these kinds of hallucinations.

Than Zhao Ming, tried to sit up from the bed. It was so hard for her, and her back was also sore due to sleeping for so long and that too on the hard bed.

She got off the bed, when she put her leg down, she mistakenly stepped on the girl sleeping on the floor. She jumped in fright and screamed..." Ahhhh". The girl also had a similar reaction, she was sleeping, when suddenly someone stepped on her. she opened her eyes in fright and saw a girl in white dress, her hair open, covering her face. She jumped in fear and screamed.

They both screamed at the same time. They nearly wake up the whole palace. The guards guarding outside came running inside. Only to see the girl standing in a white dress, with hair open, they also screamed, " Ahhh, ghost, Ahh"

Ming got scared with all this commotion. She thought to herself, " Am I become a ghost? God, why are you doing this to me. I know I was not a spiritual person but you can not punish me like this by making me a ghost. I was the most pretty girl and you made me a ghost. Is this fair?"

While she was busy in her imaginary world, Lu Shi found the lantern and burned it. When the yellow light illuminated in the darkroom, they could see the girl's face vaguely. When Ming removed her hair from her face, Lu Shi cried out in happiness, " Her highness..."

She came to her and hugged her tightly while crying. Zhao Ming almost stumbled backward, trying to make her balance, she tried to push that cute little girl. She reminded her of Yu Mei, but she was hugging her tightly, that she cannot push her away. She then stopped struggling and stood there blankly. She was still confused about 'what's happening'.

" Aren't I a ghost? Why this girl is hugging me and calling me highness? Is she also a ghost? Am I the leader of ghosts?" she thought to herself. She was having all kinds of ridiculous thoughts.

The guards were also dumbfounded. ' How could her highness just woke up like that. Is she a ghost?' they wondered. Because the imperial doctor had informed that she has no hope, but how could she wake up just like that.

They went to inform the head eunuch. He was also dumbfounded when he heard this. He went to inform his highness but found him passed out on the table due to drinking alcohol. He doesn't know what to do. He then went to His highness's guard, Feng Ju. He was not only his guard but almost like a friend to him. When he informed him that her highness has woke up, Feng Ju also didn't believe it. So he followed him to her chamber, and found her standing there with Lu Shi hugging her and crying.

Feng Ju stared at her for a long time, when he came out of his daze he turned around to the eunuch and said, " This news shouldn't get out of this room until his highness doesn't wake up. When His highness will wake up tomorrow, we will first inform him. Before that, this news shouldn't get out. Understood?" He said with a stern voice. The head eunuch nodded and he looked at everyone present in the room, they also nodded.

Then Feng Ju looked at Zhao Ming and bowed respectfully, " You've woken up, your highness."

Ming stared at him blankly and said, " Highness?" Then she checked out her clothes and her weird surroundings. It was old fashioned styled room, filled with porcelains and antiques. Everyone was speaking a strange language and their clothing was very different. She tried to think hard but suddenly she felt lighting struck at her.

' She had seen all this set up from Zhao Ming's memory.' She thought to herself.

Suddenly, an absurd thought came to her mind, She asked in a low voice, " What is my name?" she questioned Feng Ju with a suspicious gaze.

He looked at her in confusion but replied, "Your highness. You're the Empress of Ji Dynasty, Zhao Ming" He said, respectfully. He knows how much, his highness cares about her and cannot be dare to be rude to her.

When Xie Ming heard this, she shouted, " F*ck. Is this some kind of stupid drama ? " she shouted in disbelief. First, she didn't believe that she died, when she believed and even her body was not hers now, she thought that she had died and will take rebirth and will have a new life. But she never thought that when she will wake up, she will come to the past and that too in Zhao Ming's body.

She was 'Xie Ming, the wife of Jin Liwei'. She had everything but now she came in that Zhao Ming's body.

When she gave her memories to her, she also got Zhao Ming's memories and she knows about her past too. She pitied her but never thought that she will come here herself.

Everyone was looking at her in disbelief. 'They had never seen her behave like this, and what are the strange words she was speaking.'

She suddenly started laughing hysterically, " Ahahaha, it's so funny. it's really funny" she sat on the edge of the bed. The guards and Lu shi were scared seeing her laughing like this. The environment is already scary because of rain and thunderstorms and here she was laughing like someone who was possessed.

Then suddenly she started crying and shouting, " I don't want to stay here. This is not fair. There is no phone, no wifi, no air conditioner, no cars, how the hell I am supposed to live here. She was living there happily and I was thrown here with these stupid morons". 'woohoo' She was crying loudly while shouting all this.

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. ' Has her highness, got crazy after been in coma for long?'

They all thought to themselves.
