TanTan enters an ancient chamber, it is neat and huge. It is really similar with a bed chamber for a n.o.ble daughter in the movie. The decorative wooden table in the middle, the decorative wooden make up table at side of a double-sided antique bed, covered with sutra cloth and another soft transparent cloth as the curtains and a hard but smooth ceramic as a pillow. TianTian admires at those things, "Wow, this dream feels so real". She even can smells the fragrance of flowers strongly surrounding the room.
XiaoRue guides her to sit on the bed and then she takes a cup of tea from the table and serves it to TanTan,
"Please drink it, XiaoCie and then try to rest."
TanTan takes the cup and drink it,
"Hm...this tea is not too bad...", then she returns it to XiaoRue,
"Thank you..."
XiaoRue looks surprise to hear that word comes from her XiaoCie. This is the first time she hears it. It almost make her tears coming out. This XiaoCie, the lyoung lady HuaMuTan is the type of person who never say thank you without any benefits. especially to her servants. XiaoRue wonders if is it the experience of rising from the death can change someone? But it can be also just a temporary effect... TanTan is also realize the reaction,
"What is it? You look surprise..."
"XiaoCie never say thank you before to XiaoRue...It"s really not necessary although, XiaoRue is just doing the duty. Now, XiaoRue will go out, letting XiaoCie to take a rest."
"Saying thank you is odd? Wow, am I a princess or what?"
Just a minute after XiaoRue closed the door, TanTan can hear the noise sudden be heard at outside her room.
"Young Master..." its XiaoRue"s voice,
"Does she really awaken? I want to speak with her" A man speaks, there is an unpleasing tone in the voice, TanTan wonders who he is.
"But XiaoXie is resting right now, Young Master....No, please don"t enter..."
"Brakkk!" The door is opened harshly,
TanTan is sitting on the bed side, looking at the man who just entered.
He is actually a young handsome man, about twenties TanTan guesses. His cloth is similar like a n.o.ble young master in the chinese drama, neat but not too glamour, a simple dark blue color giving a serious and tough aura in him. His fierce face has giving TanTan a clue that he is not come in friendly.
"So, you are really still alive...how unfortunately!..."
The tone contains a mocking, which triggering TanTan to feel upset.
"Why do you need to say like that?"
The man comes closely to TanTan, he pulls TanTan"s hand harshly and in anger, he gives TanTan a warning,
"Listen this carefully. I never forgive you for what you did to ShuangAi. You had hurt her once, try another time and I will send you to h.e.l.l by my own hand!"
He pushes TanTan hardly and then just leaves.
"What is going on with that rude man?
Who is ShuangAi? I had hurted her? I even don"t know who she is? Why I must get this rude treatment?"
Seeing the man is gone, XiaoRue immediately enters the room,
"XiaoCie, are you okay?"
"Who is that man?"
"Hah?"
"Just now, who is that rude and terrible man?"
"XiaoCie, what are you talking about? Don"t you remember? He is Prince LiZouWei, your husband."
"What? that man? No way!!" How come that man be her husband, she didn"t see any affection to her at all in him.
"XiaoCie,...how can you forget about him? He is the person you love so much...you even were willing to kill yourself so he agreed to marry you ..."
"What? Really ridiculous!" She, TanTan will never do such that stupid thing. This girl who she is being right now, how could she so stupid? Its obviously that man didn"t love her at all..." His eyes full of hatred, he was serious willing to kill her.
"And...who is ShuangAi?"
"She...she is..." XiaoRue seems afraid to mention this ShuangAi. How not, if everytime she mentioned about ShuangAi, usually HuaMuTan would thrown her tantrum; screaming and throwing anything she could and at the end, XiaoRue the one that must cleaned the mess up.
"Come on, tell me eh...XiaoRue... I am really can"t remember all these things... Maybe after you tell me, I can remember something..."
XiaoRue takes a deep sigh.
"Please don"t be mad, Xiaocie...
ShuangAi....she is a daughter of Royal Teacher SuLingPo, who grew together with Prince Li, so the prince is very fond on her."
"Oh, so she is his childhood lover, the one that he should marry to?"
XiaoRue panics to hear the words,
"XiaoCie, how can you say that? Right now Prince Li has become your husband. It has been 6 months. They shouldn"t...have romantic relationship anymore..."
Even though XiaoRue sounded so intense to comfort her SiaoCie. TanTan could hearing an unsure tone when XiaoRue mentioned about the relationship between Prince Li and ShuangAi has ended. TanTan wondered,
"In that case...how was this marriage going on in this past 6 months?"
XiaoRue is being nervous to see her XiaoCie becomes silent, she is really couldn"t guessing what is in her mind like before. She feels the condition of XiaoCie right now is really really bad.
"SiaoCie..."
TanTan sighes, " You may go, i need to take a rest right now..."
XiaoRue obeys right away, its a right time for her also to report these things to Madam Hua. So she immediately closes the door and leaves the room.
Meanwhile in the room ,TanTan can"t really take a rest. From all the information she just heard ,she concludes all in her mind,
"This is really similar with the chinese drama that I and Mom ever watched; Only in this drama, I get the villain character. A bad girl who is separating the couple of main characters. Oh, i hope these all are really just a bad dream. Mom will laugh hardly if she hear about this dream, maybe she will mock me that this dream can be happened because I am still single...Now, what should I do to wake up from this dream?..."
Not too long, another knocking comes from outside, this time is Madam Hua who comes.
"TanEr, are you still wake up?"
TanTan surprises. She doesn"t want to make an old lady worry a lot so she soon prepares herself, laying on the bed. b.u.mping her head to the hard pillow, *Auch* and covers herself with the blanket she sees.
"Yes ,please come in..."
Madam Hua opens the door, she is accompanied by XiaoRue, her loyal a.s.sistant, A Tao and also an old stranger man who cloth like an ancient physician, bringing a big wooden box on his shoulder.
"I am sorry to bother your rest, my dear, but Physician Fang has come to check your condition. Please bear it for a while, okay..." Madam Hua pats her hand so gentle, TanTan just nods and let the man who called Physician Fang to check her condition with traditional ways.
At the end of examination, Physician Fang takes out the paper and write something, and XiaoRue takes it. While Madam Hua whispers to TanTan,
"Take a rest, okay dear. Everything will be alright." TanTan does what Madam Hua says. She closes her eyes, even though she still can hear Madam Hua speaks to this Physician Fang.
"So how is my TanEr?" asked Madam Hua.
Physician Fang bows politely to her and then explaining,
"Please don"t worry, Madam Hua. I didn"t find any wrong with Young Lady"s body. She just a little weak and need nutritions to recover."
"But...she forgets many things..."
"Seeing the condition, I a.s.sume that Young Lady just had a shocking experience. Being so close to the death is usually giving different side effects for some people. In some case, it can be a temporary effect but it also can be permanent. But the most important thing is that Young Lady needs a lot of rest and cannot having more pressures. I has written some herbal medicines to soothe Young Lady"s mind and also strengthen her body. Hoping it also can help to recover her memories soon or later. We just have to wait..."
"Very well, thank you Physician Fang. ATao, please guide Physician Fang to outside and give the money to him. XiaoRue, immediately buy and prepare the medicines for TianEr..."
ATao and XiaoEr immediately do what they are being asked to do. After all leave the room, Madam Hua once again sit closely to TanTan, she looks at TanTan sadly,
"What a poor girl you are, TanEr....what a poor...Don"t worry, *Ama will do anything to heal you.... You are my precious TanEr...a daughter of my beloved son. Oh how I can face your Dad if anything bad happened to you...YiCao ah YiCao ...you must keep protecting your daughter from heaven, as you has send her back alive...."
After Madam Hua tidies the blanket to cover TanTan, she is finally leaving TanTan alone.
TanTan opens her eyes,
"Now I think I get to know more about this HuaMuTan.... She doesn"t have parents, just a Grandma who loves her so much. She falls in love with this Prince Li even though he doesn"t love her back. It can be a good story for a drama but TanTan doesn"t care of all those things actually. The main problem is how she can return to her normal life? Let"s just sleep for now and hoping that that when I wake up, all of these will be gone as a bad dream. So TanTan closes her eyes and tries to sleep. The day has become dark. Without she knows, there is a black clothed man like a ninja, making a hole and then blowing some sleeping gas through a wooden straw. It makes TanTan finally falls asleep. Then that man secretly enters the room and searches every parts of the room, he looks so tense and upset when he is finally give up for not being success to get what he wants. Then he comes closely to TanTan, willing to search around the bed but he stops when he hears a footstep coming closely to the room. He disappears from the room, a minute before XiaoRue comes to check the condition of her XiaoCie. When XiaoRue sees her XiaoCie has a deep sleep, XiaoRue just closes the door again and leaves the room.
Note: *Ama: a short calling for Grandma, usually be called by a close relative.
