"Urggh, what the hell why is my head so painful? Now that idiot of a sister will be so happy to see me in pain. God, how did I fall sick?"
Su Xiao muttered under her breath as she tried opening her eyes slowly, only for her to close them immediately and continue muttering again.
"Huh, I'm even suffering from headache in my dreams. That evil sister of mine may even be hitting my head so that I can have nightmares." She rubbed her eyes a bit before opening them again, the scene remained the same causing her to sit up immediately.
"Where am I? Daddy, your beloved daughter must have been kidnapped. Oh God, sis your pet meant for bullying has been kidnapped."
She looked around and noticed that she was in an aged but kind of luxurious place of the old chinese eras. Su Xiao, lifted her hand to touch the dressing table beside the table but suddenly let out a scream when she saw her hand causing a young maid in ancient clothes to enter the room immediately.
"This is someone else's hand, this is not my hand, this is not my hand."
Su Xiao talked while tears started streaming down her face, she was a pampered lady whose dad spoilt to the heavens. She had a warm and complete family, an evil sister who only knew how to bully her but she always made sure her baby sister Su Xiao was healthy happy and perfect to be bullied around but it was still a happy family. How comes her hands were not hers.
"Miss Su, Miss are you ok? Miss..."
"Give me a mirror, ahhhh!!! Daddyy your daughter is kidnapped."
In the same state of commotion, the maid didn't really understand much of what Su Xiao was saying but just tried comforting her. She suddenly broke and ran out of the room leaving Su Xiao to her own devices, she ran straight to the prince court to report the situation but she wasn't sure if the prince will allow the physician to come as Su Xiao was known to be an evil concubine amongst the chosen concubines for the prince.
It was exactly two weeks since she fell into coma after trying to set up the most favoured concubine Miss Chunxi but everything backfired and she was the one who fell into the same deep pit she had planned for the Chunxi. The prince was very angry with her and ordered for her to be relocated to a secluded residence in court and let her recuperate there before she faces other punishment.
It had two weeks and the prince had never visited apart from sending the physician but the daily check up was already done and Miao her maid didn't know if the physician will come again.
"Eunuch Mu, please tell the prince his highness that my lady has regained consiousness and is behaving strangely. Please please have mercy..."
Miao kowtowed infront of Eunuch Mu the personal servant of the prince as she asked for audience, her head was already swelling but she couldn't stop at the same time, even before Eunuch Mu could speak, steady steps were heard echoing on the slab.
"Your Highness."
The salutation caused Miao to pause and greet his prince too,
"Your Highness, my lord, please let the physician come and look at my lady please. Only this time my prince."
"Lead me there."
"Eh?"
Miao froze in place when she heard the request, could it be that the prince wants to finish off my miss?
"Outrageous, did you not hear his highness? Guards, teach this servant a lesson, ten strokes."
The voice of the eunuch brought Miao's senses back and caused her to want to beg again but just a raise of a hand and everything paused, The guards went back to their positions and Miao immediately led the way while shivering visibly.
"Eunuch Mu, get physician Chun to come and take a look."
It didn't take long before they approached Su Xiao's residence, they could hear screams and her speaking in a strange language. Everyone stopped outside while they waited for the prince's instructions. He nodded at the physician and let him enter with him, he opened the door for him before stepping aside and let him step in first.
Everyone else was left outside, Su Xiao who was almost going insane from shock like how could she have someone else's hands? Saw a tall man enter, yeah she paused a bit and looked at him strangely, he was definitely handsome and that was her weakness. He had this air of royality and gentleness as if he was an angel but obviously that was a facade.
No she shook her head and told herself not to be deceived because he was one of her kidnappers.
"But if this is my kidnapper then I can let myself be kidnapped peacefully."
Huh idiot, boo but my hands, the physician and prince Mu Chen who were looking at her thought she had gone into shock as she had been shouting a minute ago.
"Hello, are you my kidnappers? Do you want money from my parents? My dad is very rich and he can pay you but why do i have someone else's hands? And why are you all dressed strangely?"
Mu Chen for the first time was surprised to the extent of it showing on his face, he was an educated royal and was very well versed in different languages but this was new. He also observed the way Su Xiao was speaking and acting and it spoke volumes about her class but when did that evil and low class Su Xiao change? And how could she know a foreign language?
Again, she didn't bow and perform salutations which meant she was ignorant or had memory loss. But before he could think further, physician Chun spoke to him in ancient chinese language.
"Your majesty she may have become a lunatic."
Ding, it registered in her brain. Su Xiao came from an infuential family in Beijing and she had underwent so many trainings and was even well versed in ancient chinese just that her accent may be a bit lacking but she definitely understood him.
What? Her princess syndrome finally got triggered and her anger issues were finally to full display, she knew she had to speak in chinese. She was a princess and her dad never allowed anyone to disrespect her, so she took that as an insult.
"Who are you to call me a mad person? Are you insane? You have known me barely even the time of an incense to burn and you are insulting me? Are you crazy?"
Mu Chen and Chun were bot shocked at her words when she finally spoke chinese, her confidence and class even caused the physician to take a step back but the prince just narrowed his eyes slightly. He never someone could become this bold but she seemed like a different person.
The next question solved his puzzle.
"Excuse me, are you his fellow abductor? Why do I have someone else hands? And kindly I need something to look at my face with, I may even be possessing someone else face without knowing. Have you heard me?"
Physician Chun was visibly shaken, no one knew this prince's true colors more than him, he was a smiling tiger, waiting for the right time to strike and he was a ruthless and decisive leader. To be commanded like that by a mere concubine was a blood bath call but when he didn't hear any scream, he opened his eyes only to see him looking at him.
"Get her a viewing stone from the bathroom."
Physician Chun went for it absentmindedly and finally handed it to Su Xiao who was almost cursing out loud at this slow rat.
"Ahhhhhh!!!! This is not...."
Her scream and words were cut short when she suddenly passed out, the scream caused a glint to flash past Mu Chen's eyes but he didn't say anything. He simply instructed the physician to check her body condition and let her rest but the people outside thought he had killed her.
Miao budged in and threw herself at his feet, "Your majesty just kill me too, my miss was ignorant but I can't live without her."
"Get up and take care of her, tell me when she wakes up."
Miao froze but when she looked on the bed, she saw a sleeping person and not a dead body.
"Yes your majesty."
As the group left, Su Xiao on the hand dove in another mystery and headache on top. Foreign memories flooded her brain as she replayed all the scenes, although confused she could feel the pain and happiness the person went through in her brain. It was so real that she got confused, what was going on? In that process she suddenly woke up when her stepmother was flogging her.
"Why do i get to suffer even in dreams?"
But it started dawning on her, she had transmigrated or rather maybe her modern family was just a dream too? But no her evil sister was real, her childish dad was real, her petty but strong CEO mother was real, even her idiot brother was real. No way!!!1
She was overwhelmed by emotions and simply burst out crying, Miao who had been watching from the sides was scared and ran to tell the prince as instructed. It didn't take long before the prince entered alone. He looked at the curled and lonely figure on the bed crying before he approached her.
Su Xiao who was pampered from childhood was used to hugs and when she felt a pat on her head she simply threw herself in his arms and hugged him while crying. She really was feeling down and needed consolation. Mu Chen who had never allowed anyone to hug or touch him mostly women, let her hug and cry as she wanted.
He just felt a weird sense of protection when he saw her so insecure and heart.
"It will be ok."
He thought that will help things but it only fueled the issue, more tears kept streaming, "Ahhhh momma your baby is abandoned in a bushhhhhh."
That earned a rumble of laughter from Mu Chen causing her to finally register what was going on, from the memories, this was the royal and crown prince, he was ruthless and did hate people touching him. "Oh Shit, your highness, I didnt mean to touch you forgive me. It was just."
Mu Chen smiled slightly, it seemed she had gained her memories back but she still feels a little different.
"Its ok, have a good rest."
What!!!! Didn't the memory say he is ruthless?
