Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 702 - Tan Xiu Will Never Be Yours.

When Tan Xiu woke up from her slumber, she opened her eyes slowly as her eyelashes fluttered open. She blinked and looked at her strange surroundings only to realize that she is in a horse carriage right now. She tried to sit up but her body felt heavy as if someone had punched her many times, taking all of her energy.

The things that happened seemed like a nightmare to her but the cut on her arm made her realize that everything was real. Her clothes have been changed into a new and beautiful dress but for her, it was nothing more than a bad omen.

Tears filled in her eyes as she remembered how cruelly Yang Hanying revealed her parents' death to her and she didn't even get to see them and say her final goodbye. She clutched onto her chest as she felt pain remembering about Yuan Song as well.

" It was all because of me. I...everyone?died because of me but I am still alive." she cried but she got scared when the carriage stopped all of a sudden.

She shifted back and sat against the wall of the carriage while holding her knees closer to her body.

The curtain of the carriage pushed open and Yang Hanying looked at her and smiled, " You woke up? It's good that you're awake. Come, I brought you here to show you something." he said while looking at her with a warm smile.

It was the first time she heard him talking to her warmly.

She shook her head in denial but he stretched his hand and grasped her wrist, pulling her close to him and dragged her out of the carriage. However, once she was out, her eyes widened in shock as she covered her wide open mouth with her hands while tears made her way to her eyes.

" This….this…" she looked at the battlefield where dead bodies were lying everywhere and the place was painted with dark red blood.

He held onto her shoulder, which made her jump in shock but he held on to them tightly pulling her close.

" Didn't you want to see your lover? See, I am so kind-hearted that I brought you to see him, your love." he whispered in her ears making the hair stand on her body.

" Now do you believe me how much I love you? I even brought you to meet him for the last time." he said.

"No...No….I don't…" she denied as she doesn't want to see him in that state because if she did, she doesn't know how she will handle herself.

-

A guard escorted her to the middle of the battlefield, passing by the numerous dead bodies which made her shiver uncontrollably.

She stopped when she saw a familiar figure lying in the middle of the ground, with blood splattered everywhere. The blood seemed to be dry by now and the body seems to be rotting. She slumped on the ground on her knees as she stared at Yuan Song's bloody body while tears gushed out of her eyes.

" Brother...Yuan Song...Ahhhh…..Ahhhhh." she cried and painful shrieks can be heard as she wailed loudly seeing Yuan Song's body which was covered in blood and sand.

There were numerous cuts and wounds on her body while the most obvious and deeper one was on her abdomen, the sword was still inside his body, making the scene unbearable to see.

Her painful cries could make anyone's heart tighten and the scene was painful to watch. But Yang Hanying was watching this scene from afar and smirked, " Yuan Song, didn't I tell you that I will get her no matter what. See, now you're dead and she is mine." he said while leaning against the carriage with his hands crossed together.

-

Tan Xiu was lying on the bed lifelessly while looking at the unfamiliar ceiling. She is now at the Yang palace as he brought her to the Yang Dynasty. Since the war was completely over as he took over the Tan Palace and many of their people and soldiers had died, she had been brought to the Yang Dynasty.

It's been days since she came back. She didn't eat anything and was just waiting for her death to come to her and end this cursed life. But no matter what she did, she can't seem to die.

" Empress of the Yang Dynasty, Mao Li is here." The guard announced and the door of Tan Xiu's room was pushed open and a royal figure entered the room, clad in a heavy silk dress wearing the ornaments heavier than her weight.

Mao Li looked at the pale face and dried purple lips of the girl and scoffed, " How did you manage to seduce His Majesty with your ugly face and appearance?" the woman commented while walking to her side.

Tan Xiu didn't react to her words and weakly closed her eyes.

" Dress her up in a beautiful dress and feed her something. She can't serve his majesty in this condition," she said to the maid standing near the bed.

Tan Xiu's eyes snapped open hearing those words as she turned to look Mao Li in shock.

" Why? Why do I have to serve him? Aren't you consort? How can you let me serve him? Will you feel comfortable if I serve him?" she said provocatively while trying to sit up with her weak body.

Mao Li's expressions darkened upon hearing her words. "Do you think I like the fact that I came to dress you personally? I want to kill you this very moment." she said with her dark expressions.

Mao Li scoffed seeing her weak body which couldn't even sit properly without anyone's support. However, her expressions darkened remembering Yang Hanying's excited expressions about tonight's night.

She took a deep breath while giving her a hateful glance and said to the maid, " Give her this porridge. Make sure she eats it well. Don't leave this room until she finishes the last drop of it." she said and turned to leave the room.

Before leaving the room, she turned around once again and smirked, " His Majesty might have brought you here, but he won't be able to get you. I will make sure of it." she murmured before walking away.

Even though Yang Hanying had many concubines before, this girl was her biggest threat. Because of him he attacked the Empire which was not important to them.

-

The maid passed the porridge bowl to Tan Xiu and urged her to eat it. After rejecting the maid's request multiple times, the head maid came and forced her to drink the porridge whose taste was horrendous and bitter.

Tan Xiu frowned and her complexion turned even more pale and sickly even though she had the porridge. She placed her hand on her abdomen as she felt uncomfortable and nauseous.

However, her expressions turned paler seeing the red dress embroidered with precious gems and gold lace. She remembered how Yang Hanying killed her parents and Yuan Song. Not only that, he finished the Tang Dynasty just to get her to his bed.

In the name of his so-called love, he destroyed her fully, completely. He might have managed to get her after killing her whole family, but she won't let him take her body now.

" Yang Hanying, you will feel victorious after getting my body right? I won't let you do that, not in this life nor in another. Tan Xiu will never be yours." she said while looking into the mirror, dressed into the red dress and clenched her fists tightly.
