ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Chapter 642 - Crowned Prince



Chapter 642 - Crowned Prince

Xie Ming placed her head on his shoulder and sighed lightly.

She continued as she held onto his arm, " Everything was fine until I..was betrothed to the crowned prince of Ji Dynasty, Ji Cheng. When I was 10 years old, we were betrothed by the Old Emperor."

She paused and continued, " However, since we were young, our wedding was postponed until he came back after completing his military training at the border. While he was gone, I had to learn the formalities, etiquettes of the Palace since I don't belong to the royal family."

Liwei was hearing her words seriously. However, he felt something strange in his heart when he heard about her being betrothed with the crowned prince.

When she was telling him about the so-called crowned prince, he could feel the strange emotions in her tone. This made him feel a little uncomfortable but he knows that this was her past.

And he needs to respect that part of her past.

Xie Ming didn't notice his stiffened expressions and continued, " After he came back after completing his military training, the boy I used to know changed into another person. His looks, his expressions, and his attitude, everything changed. Maybe the cruel and hard military training made him lose his innocence."

" We were both now adults. Even though I was just 17 at that time, in our times, it was the right age for women to get married. In truth, I was a little late compared to other girls." she said while thinking about how difficult it was for her to get used to everything after getting married at such a young age.

" Soon after he came back, the Old Emperor passed away. Ji Cheng had to take over the throne and in a week we also got married because of the last wish of the late Emperor."

" You know, even though we got married, we were so distant. We didn't even know each other that well. However, our relationship got worse by the time, especially when he went to the border, right after our wedding." She grasped her dress in nervousness and omitted the part where her relationship took a dark path.

Their horrible first night still haunts her sometimes.

She was nervous telling him all her dark past but she still did. After all, he has every right to know about her.

She told him how her world, the palace and the Ji Dynasty was. Despite being in the most desirable and highest position of the Empress, she had no say in any decision nor her opinions was valued because of her not being from the royal background.

She told him how Wen Xu created problems for her at every step and how she lived the life of a wife who has to manage the disputes between the other Consorts of his husband.

Liwei was listening to her words intently. He was shocked knowing how she has spent her whole life. From the very young, she has seen so many things and because of that, she matured earlier.

Now he understood why she gets uncomfortable with the word Empress. He still remembered the day when she said to not take any other consorts after they decided to give a chance to their relationship.

It felt strange at that time but now he understood what she meant by it.

He glanced at her to check on her. She was not crying but her sad expressions were making him feel strange.

He can't even imagine what she might have gone through in her past life. Everything still seems very unreal to him.

He breathed out and asked, " But how come… you...I mean.."

" How I came into this world, in Xie Ming's body?" She said when he couldn't complete his words.

He nodded.

She tapped the back of his hand with her fingers which were in her hands.

" You remembered about the bodyguard I told you?"

He nodded as he remembered, her telling him about a bodyguard who used to follow her but he was killed by the Emperor in the name of rebellion. It was so shocking for him to hear about killing like this, but his blood was boiling thinking how she had been wronged.

" After that incident, the relationship between me and Ji Ch...the Emperor became more distant. I decided to find him and explain everything."

" However, I couldn't see him since he was busy and I lacked the courage to barged into his chamber to have a one to one chat with him."

" I was strolling near the pond and was trying to gather the courage to talk to him and explain everything. However…" she pursed her lips as her breathing quickened thinking about that night

Before, the moment she fell in the pond used to be vague to her. Everything she remembered was quite blurry for her. But now when she is talking about that night... everything started to seems clear.

" However, I felt that someone was pushing me. I was caught off guard and fell into the pond. And despite knowing swimming very well, I couldn't save myself and eventually lost consciousness."

" And when I woke up, I was in the hospital, in Xie Ming's body. The day you threw divorce papers at me, was the day I arrived in this world. It was not more than an hour that you welcomed me with your arrogant and rude words and divorce papers." She sighed as she remembered what an eventful day it was.?

At that time, she was not sure what was going on. And then a man comes, claiming himself to be her husband and presents her a set of divorce papers.

In her world, there was no such thing as divorce, especially for women. Men can leave women on their will, but it was strictly prohibited for women to do so.

Liwei pursed his lips as he remembered how lost and different she looked that day. So that was her first day in this world.

He suddenly felt guilty thinking about how he treated her at the start.
