Chapter 1: Dark Lotus
"Umh."
A soft whimper rose within a luxurious chamber.
*Tap, tap…*
Although it was almost inaudible, a young female clad in light green servant robes caught sound of it.
She approached with haste to the big bed where a male in his teens laid. She looked nervously at the bewitching features of the young man bathed by golden sunlight for a sign of movement, hoping she hadn't heard wrong.
"His Highness!" the maidservant exclaimed joyously when she saw the young man's long eyelashes flutter, "Wei Ge, call the Imperial Physician! Say His Highness, the Fourth Prince, is moving a bit."
"His Highness?" another young female that looked younger clad in the same light green servant robes made her way into the bedchamber.
"Quickly go!"
"Ah! Aye!"
However, before she could see her prince, the older young female yelled at her to hurry.
'So much noise…' The long eyelashes stopped their slow dance and instead the young man's sword-like fine eyebrows furrowed, 'I finally took complete possession of this body but who did hit this body so hard on the head?'
"Ungh."
"His Highness!" the older young maid exclaimed again, excited to the point of tears.
"Quiet!" It was meant to be a displeased order but it sounded like a feeble whisper.
Yet the older young maid still complied.
'So this body was that of a Prince… At least, his status is not that bad, considering I have to bear being a male when I was a female and… Haa- Don't start complaining Shen Rou, first thing first…' with her last sentence, the pain of her head became unbearable.
"AAHHH!"
"His Highness?!" the older young maid entered in panic when she heard the painful cry of the Fourth Prince and saw him holding his head with both hands.
"Angh, ughh…" Cold sweat shrouded the Prince's body and the older maid was pale in fright.
*Tap, tap, tap…* Hearing the rushing steps from outside, she said with urge, "Quickly, His Highness, His Highness…"
An old man wearing a long silver tunic entered the luxurious chamber, followed by the younger young maid and a young eunuch clad in light green.
The servants were all worried-sick but the person of their concern couldn't see it and didn't care about the solo-dialogue the serious old man was saying while checking his body.
'How ridiculous! For such memories I tormented myself…' Because Shen Rou had rushed out the soul of the Fourth Prince's body, she saw herself in the need of rummage for his deeply ingrained memories in his mind before they were replaced by hers, 'What a way to die… well, he wasn't mean to die…
'Anyway, Shen Lian, Shen Lian… what a coincidence, his full name meaning is my well-spread nickname, Dark Lotus… I should be pleased, I guess…' as she was deep in thought recalling the memories of the Prince, she didn't open her new eyes once and lay on the bed with furrowed brows.
"The Fourth Prince's head still cause him great discomfort. Let him rest and in the evening come to the Medicine Imperial Hall for a decoction to ease his pain to get up from the bed," after his full check, the old Imperial Physician said.
"Aye," the three servants acknowledged the instructions.
The young eunuch sent him out while the two maids remained beside their prince.
