17 Chapter seventeen

When night falls, Tang Wudi alone went to Shang Guan Liang's room to seek some small retaliation against him. Tang Wudi forever could not forget how tortured Ying Zetian is during her nightmares. Tang Wudi threw a medical bomb into the room that will ensure Shang Guan Liang and his two attendants' deep sleep.

Tang Wudi then insert three needles into the body points that will ensure Shang Guan Liang temporarily will went blind, not able to speak and any pain that he felt will be greatly amplified. Tang Wudi then use the first blade that Ying Zetian ever gives him to slowly slice his way across Shang Guan Liang's body. Tang Wudi record for slicing across a human body is fantastic, but it still fares badly as compared to Ying Zetian and Fan Zhong.

Tang Wudi even marvel at the fact that Ying Zetian or Fan Zhong is able to slice one hundred fifty slices across a human body without bleeding or dying but still causing the greatest pain. Tang Wudi record is only seventy slices across a human body. Tang Wudi knew that although Shang Guan Yi do not expect Shang Guan Liang to be the next head of the Shang Guan family. But Shang Guan Liang is still greatly loved by Shan Guan Yi.

Tang Wudi almost want to laugh when he imagines how tortured Shang Guan Yi will be when he received news on how Shang Guan Liang is. Tang Wudi knew that if he is correct, Shang Guan Yi is Ying Zetian's father and the cause of his respected elder brother sufferings. And from later investigations, Tang Wudi knew that Yang Liu Liu, the mother of Shang Guan Liang who may have added fire to the demise of the main Ying family.

Tang Wudi have during his investigations knew Yang Liu Liu to already be in an affair with Shang Guan Yi when he is still in a marriage relationship with Ying Meei Meei, Ying Zetian's mother. After all, Tang Wudi personally already have a grudge with the Yang family as they also killed his mother for their daughter, Yang Jing Jing, the elder sister of Yang Liu Liu and the current empress of Tai Ping.

Tang Wudi sigh, the Yang family is really a brunch of people that really fit making their living in brothels while he sliced off Shuang Guan Liang body part that will ensure he could not have his own children anymore. In Tai Ping, people who have deformities on their bodies could not be officials. And this is why Tang Wudi did what he did is to ensure that for the next two years of his life in Hanlin, he will have one less enemy in the academy.

Another reason of course is to ensure that Yang Liu Liu will mentally suffer as she only has one son and daughter with Shuang Guan Yi. With Shang Guan Liang not fit to be the head of the Shang Guan family, there is no chance that Yang Liu Liu could be the empress dowager of the Shang Guan family. of course, unless she at her old age gets pregnant again but Tang Wudi already have ensured that will not happened.

Tang Wudi in secret already have insert his people working in the Shang Guan family kitchen feed the women including the maids in the family medicine that ensure no pregnancy will happened. Tang Wudi even had his people ensure that the women the whole main Shuang Guan family males have outside will not be pregnant.

For the first six years of his life, Tang Wudi is really happy as Tang Ying do not place any pressure on him. It was only when Tang Wudi was saved by Ying Zetian then his nose is really put to the grindstone and started to learn a variety of things that daily ensured that he do not even have the time to sleep. When Tang Wudi went to the royal palace at eight years old, he then unleashes his true nature.

Tang Wudi deeply respected and love his elder brother and in the two years he knew Ying Zetian, he always acted like a soft cuddly puppy. As it was only when Tang Wudi acted like a soft cuddly puppy could he see some laughter in Ying Zetian's eyes that were icy cold for the rest of the time. Tang Wudi guess that Ying Zetian has her own plan to bought down the four gentry family members.

But Tang Wudi do not want the four gentry family members to live their life so easily. So, in order not to interfere in Ying Zetian's plans, Tang Wudi had get his revenge in small ways. Like ensuring that the next generation will not appear for the main Yang and Shuang Guan family. Tang Wudi in order to try to help Ying Zetian, had even make friends with the hostage prince from Qitan in the palace. Tang Wudi through his investigations had knew of Ying Zetian Rose identify.

And with Tuoba Hong help, Tang Wudi had successfully launched his empire in Qitan. Tang Wudi took a normal hanky and wipe Shang Guan Liang's blood from his hands and blade before distastefully throwing it on the floor while happily thinking of the next two years of his life with Ying Zetian in Hanlin with one less person disturbing.

If Ying Zetian is on the scene now, even she will be shocked witless at the psychopath expression that was on Tang Wudi's face when he is wiping the blood off his favorite blade and hands. Before Tang Wudi left, he carefully laid a jade ornament on the table that belong to the dark guards of the Yang family. Tang Wudi went to his room for a bath before going into Ying Zetian room and sliding into bed with him. After all, Tang Wudi earlier in the day has pestered Ying Zetian on letting him sleep with him nightly.

And using guilt for not being able to take care of him for the past five years, Tang Wudi had succeed in making Ying Zetian agree. Tang Wudi smile before hugging Ying Zetian and sliding into dreamland. Tang Wudi was just so happy that Ying Zetian had agree to his request as he knew his elder brother is a firm believer in letting children grew by rough treatment.

Tang Wudi could not count the times that Ying Zetian had threw him into dark guard camps or even snake pits just to build him up. Tang Wudi at first was slightly displeased but his admiration for his elder brother overrode his feelings of displeasure most of the time. Now Tang Wudi is simply happy that his elder brother had subject him to such treatments that had ensured his skills that could rarely meet an opponent.
