02. Her wake up was rough

Pain, so much pain. She could literally feel how someone was punching her painful body.

''Die, die finally!''

Woman's voice could be heard as she punched her body and her face. Her body was weak and couldn't handle anymore and she was about to faint as loud voice could be heard.

''Stop that crazy woman!''

''As you command!''

Lian slightly opened one of her eyes slightly and saw a group of soldiers rushing towards the woman and taking holding her tightly while she saw a man slowly passing her and only tips of his shoes and corner of his clothes could be seen.

''You chose the Liu Shi as your ce fei. Hahahaha. What is the point of coming to my compound then? How I treat my servants is my own choice. Will they live or die, it's me who will choose. Who do you think to intrude...''

Suddenly a loud slap could be heard and she could see her falling down like a tree with a perplexed expression. ''You... you dared to hit me? I am your main wife! Wang ye, how can you treat me this way?''

''For ten years I accepted your behaviour but today it is end of it. You killed seven servants because your food was not warm enough? Mufei almost had her heart attack but what did you do? You threw temper as she sends you back to write scriptures and pray for their souls. Not to even think you were wrong you are now trying to have one more soul killed?''

''So what? She is just a servant. Her life is meant to be short this or that way...''

''Enough!'' His roared and stopped her words. ''It is enough this time. I am going straight to palace to beg fuhuang for a letter of divorce. I can't even walk through the palace without being pointed at by all those ministers and being admonished for not controlling my fu. It is enough. Even if I lose my title because of it, I would rather live a calm life as a commoner than as royal with such person by my side.''

He turned his head and started ordering.

''Bring her list of all the things she brought into the fu and all that was gifted to her. All the stuff will be given to her on her way out. Pack it well until I am back. If she tries to brake something let her. But only her own stuff. My fu thing she should not touch.'' Then from corners of his eyes, he could see slight movement fo a child. ''Take that child to taiyi and tell him to heal her. Her contract...''

A young servant rushed forward and bowed.

''To answer to Wang Ye, this little servants contract belongs to Gong Li Fu. She is one of our people.'' He clearly knew what was a real question he wanted to ask.

The man approached her and as she tried to stand up he shook his head. ''Stay down a child. You are from now on appointed to Mufei's side. I am sure they will find work for you there.''

the young servant quickly helped the little girl to kneel and bow. ''Show your gratitude. Quickly.''

With his help, she bowed deeply. ''Nu is grateful to Wang Ye. Nu is grateful...'' She bowed deeply and felt dizzy. Luckily the young servant helped her come up and bowed one more time.

Withs till bowed head she heard his approval and his new orders. ''Let her rest until she is strong enough to start her new duties. I am going to palace.''

The young servant helped Lian move as fast as she could right behind the group of people that followed Wang Ye and another group of people quickly entered and started packing everything while heavy screams and uncanny curses could be heard right behind them.

Just as she was close to bed she started feeling dizzy and rushed to sit down. A young voice could be heard. ''Stay awake, the taiyi is coming this way. Het, stay awake...''

But suddenly darkness enveloped her and she slumped weakly on the bed completely unconscious.

''Hey... are you awake now?'' Again that voice. ''You should finally wake up.''

Lian slowly opened her eyes and saw a young boy looking at her seriously but not unfriendly. ''Good, it seems God's have saved you. Taiyi is waiting outside to check on your health one more time. is that fine with you?''

Lian just nodded and saw the boy rushing towards the door and letting an older man enter.

Seeing her strange expression he furrowed his eyebrows. ''She hit your head heavily, I thought you wouldn't be able to survive. I heard you are not even two days here and this happened. Are you ok?''

Lian wanted to say something but then chose to be straightforward. With a heavy breath, she tried to speak. ''I fear my voice is bad. Could you say that I can't speak? After I heal I wills peak again but for now... And there is one more thing. Cough...'' She started coughing and suddenly held her head painfully. ''I fear I have no idea who and where I am...''

Taiyi quickly rushed and checked her health and his face became grave while questioning her.

''Do you know your name?''

She shook her head.

''Do you know where you are?''

She shook again her head.

''This is bad. I fear she lost her memories. Completely. The head is something very complicated to heal. I guess from frights he lost her voice as well. Who knows how long will it take for her to regain it again.''

The young boy understood. ''Because of what happened she lost her voice but its unknown is just for a short time or permanently. Right?'' They both knew that when she starts working by Ling guifei's side many things will be complicated. Maybe it's better if she just acts like she is mute.

She was grateful and wanted to stand up and show her gratitude but was showed back into bed while taiyi just left after slight not. ''Rest for two more days, then will come back.''

She saw both fo them leaving her alone. She closed her eyes and pretend to be asleep and heard the boys voice again. ''Too bad, she is not bad. Going to that place. Is it good or bad, who knows...''

As soon he left she opened her eyes and sighed. ''This is crazy. How did I end up in ancient times? Should I be glad? Maybe I can finally see trees, flowers and animals?''

She was born in the city and whole life she saw green things only in picture books. The climate on Earth changed already a long time ago, causing plant and animal world to decimate greatly. Now going back in time, wouldn't her greatest wish finally come true.

She smiled brightly and fell asleep. She is willing even to be mute if that means she could live calmly this lifetime...
