ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Chapter 705 - I Am The Current Empress!

Shen Jia was sitting on the carpet in her chamber with her eyes closed and legs folded on one another and was meditating with the hairpin placed on the floor in front of her. She was trying to find out the reason why Zhao Ming was sleeping for so long. It's been a week and she is still sleeping soundly.

"Huh...huh." her eyes snapped open as she panted when she couldn't see anything other than the darkness. It was not only dark but suffocating to the point that she couldn't even breathe while meditating. However, she could feel that Zhao Ming was somewhere stuck in that darkness.

She pursed her lips and looked at the hairpin that looked beautiful and delicate but there was a cursed shadow lingering around it.

" Zhao Ming, I hope your reckless action doesn't put yours and Xie Ming's life in danger." she sighed weakly and closed her eyes again to find out the way to wake her up from her deep slumber.

Although she wasn't sure, she could feel that Zhao Ming who is in Xie Ming's body in the 21st century is in danger as well. She needs to work hard to save those girls.

Jin Liwei looked at Xie Ming's pale and sickly complexion while she laid on the hospital bed with her eyes closed. She has been unconscious like this for a week now. A few days ago, he got a call from Yu Mei when he was in a meeting and found out that Xie Ming came home early from the hospital and fainted while talking to her.

He went to the house in a hurry and took her to the hospital where Grandfather Su suggested to keep Xie Ming at the hospital. They did the necessary tests and told him that she was stressed and this might be the reason for her fainting but no one could find any reason for her being unconscious for so long.

It's been so long and she is still sleeping like this. He took her hand in his and rubbed the back of her hand gently with his thumb and muttered, " Xie Ming...Zhao Ming, you are not going to leave me right? You will return to me right?"

He was afraid that she might go back to her old self and will never return. He was slowly adapting to the truth that she had told him about her past life and this happened. He realized that day by day he was becoming a coward because he was afraid to lose her.

He has the power and courage to protect her from worldly dangers but he was scared and helpless against the supernatural phenomena that were putting her life in danger at this point.

Zhao Ming laid on the cold floor and held her knees closer to her chest, due to the cold and fear because she was caught in this place for days and she couldn't find a way to get out of this place.

She could hear Ji Cheng's voice calling out for her, she tried to call his name but he couldn't hear her shouting with her lungs out. It was so strange and confusing that she couldn't help but cry.

" Is there anyone? Help! Please get me out from here." her eyes widened in shock when she heard someone else shouting for help as well.

She hurriedly, weakly get up and tried to look around this pitch-black dark place.

" Who is it? Is there someone else who can hear me? Hello?" she shouted back, realizing that the voice had stopped coming.

She sighed and thought that she was having illusions but just as she was about to lie on the floor again, she heard someone's voice, " Xie Ming? Xie Ming, is it you?" the voice shouted.

" Xie Ming?" Zhao Ming murmured. She has been living as the Empress of Ji Dynasty for months now, that she almost forgot that her name in the past life was Xie Ming. This name feels so unfamiliar now.

However, her eyes widened hearing this familiar voice. What the…?

" Zhao Ming...Zhao Ming, is that you? Where are you? I can't see you anywhere. It's too dark." she shouted back while turning around to look for her but can't find her.

The voice stopped coming, making her nervous. However, just as she was losing her last hope, she heard someone's voice coming from the back.

" I am here."

She turned around and her eyes widened in shock when she saw someone standing in front of her. Even though she couldn't see the person's face because it was too dark but since her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could see that someone was standing in front of her. And from her body structure, it looked like a woman.

Her lips quivered as she whispered in a low voice, " Zhao...Zhao Ming? Is that you?"

"Yes. It's me. But...why are you here? Are you also trapped here like me?" Zhao Ming asked in worry. She was shocked to meet Xie Ming in this strange dark place where she thought that she had been trapped.

When she woke up, she found herself in this dark place and couldn't find a way to get out of this place. The last thing she knows is that she fainted in the living room and Yu Mei's cries were the last thing that she remembered.

Xie Ming nodded her head and said, " Yes, It's been days since I am trapped here. But why are you here? Shouldn't you be in my world and live your life as Xie Ming?"

" I don't know either. All I remember was falling on the ground because I was feeling dizzy and couldn't feel my legs at all and after that...I had a long...dream which felt too real." she said in a low voice.

" I think...that dream was the cause of that curse, for us swapping like this," she said, remembering how that woman cursed Tan Xiu and everything was happening the same as that woman's words.

Xie Ming pursed her lips after hearing her words when something struck her, " Zhao Ming, I think...it was not only the dream. I think I messed it up a big time. Ah….Aunt Shen Jia told me to not be reckless and do that. But I didn't know that it could put you in danger as well."

" What...what did you do that we both became like this?" Zhao Ming asked in worry.

" I slept while holding onto that cursed hairpin and I think it's because of that reason that we both fell unconscious and had that...long dream. And now we are trapped in this dark place." Xie Ming said while regretting that moment when she decided to do that.

" Even though Aunt Shen Jia warned me that it's dangerous, I didn't listen to her and did that on my own. I am sorry." she apologies with her head down.

Zhao Ming stayed silent for a while and then spoke, " You don't need to apologize. Technically we're the same. Just different bodies." she said.

Xie Ming chuckled and said, " One soul, two bodies? But isn't that a couple's thing to say?"

" Erm..sorry. I know it's a bad time to joke," she said upon remembering that they are stuck here.

Zhao Ming didn't say anything and stayed silent thinking about a way to get out.

Xie Ming also pursed her lips and tried to think of a solution to this situation.

" Ah...I think I have a way to get out of this place." Xie Ming exclaimed when she remembered what Shen Jia had taught her before during meditation training.

Zhao Ming looked at her in surprise and asked, " What? What is it?"

Xie Ming sighed softly and said, " I am glad that my memory is so good that I still remembered her words that she only said in passing. You should be glad that I am so intelligent, otherwise, the harem in the palace would have been so messed up." she commented forgetting the current situation.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips seeing her insulting her way of managing the harem in front of her.

" Don't forget that I am the original Empress," she said with a frown.

" But I am the current Empress." Xie Ming retorted forgetting that she is her reincarnation and both are connected to each other.
