Bab 2: Chapter 1: Two faced Gho

"Qaihong Gho, Qaihong Gho please breathe, don't leave me!" a childish voice called out to me in this cold empty space, Bang! A loud ruckus of various bangs force me to open my eyes from shock as I took in oxygen greedily.

My whole body aches, has some been feeding me to the fire ants nest? Feels like a million needles are poking my body accompanied by searing fire. I rolled around with tears filling up the corner of my eyes.

"My lady!" a shrill childish voice exclaimed out in pure shock "What are you doing? Go get Doctor Hong" another voice yelled at the other childish-sounding person. More people enter the space where I wither in agony, my eyes constantly blurry from tears and my throat too dry and sore for me to form words.

An unknown amount of time had passed when an imposing voice cut through the panicking children and adults? "Everyone leave! I will need space to stabilize the princess" the room became quieter than a normal dinner with your family.

Shuffling of people leaving the space and possibly closing a door rung out once lively room, I could care less. I just wanted the pain to stop, something cold engulf my body causing the searing fire that prick my whole body to lessen till it was no more.

I came to a stop and took in oxygen in hagrid breaths, I try opening my mouth to thank the doctor. No words would be formed, it's too painful to speak 'Angel why is my body such a rekt?' tears kept sliding down my cheeks while I waited for an answer.

Someone clicked their tongue "Why should I have to use such valuable herbs on a useless royal like you?" a cold mocking voice remarked. My head snapped towards the "doctor" I snarled at the doctor as no words could be made to show off how displeased I am with his service.

"Gho my child, the 8th princess was in a terrible accident that has caused her multiple injuries" the angel replied, he appeared before my eyes in the chibi form of his handsome self. Intaking a gulp I asked another question "How did the accident occur?" the small chibi angel sighed.

"Qaihong Gho Tried to forcefully cultivate" He replied sharply, I lower my eyes and sat up with a bit of difficulty. The doctor is known as doctor Hong Shoved a small vail into my mouth forcing me to drink the liquid containing whatever he had put inside.

The soreness of my throat started to feel itchy till the point of me vomiting up whatever I had eaten last all over the floor "Somebody come in here and clean up the young princess mess!" Doctor hong snarled out orders to the servants outside the door.

I clutch my palm at my throat "I'm sorry for wasting your time honorable doctor Hong" I gasp out an apology as the host before acted like a rug mat for people to step all over. The doctor clicked his tongue clicked in what I assume to be annoyance or distaste as young ladies came inside and started to clean up my vomit puddle and my face that unfortunately wasn't spare from the vomit as well.

I honestly felt like a little girl again "I can wipe the vomit off my face on my own" I snapped at the servant and took the cloth out of the girl's hands and cleaned up the leftover vomit off my face. In the corner of my eyes, I could see the angel clapping his hands "I would have never noticed that you are a different person then who originally lived in that flesh prison" the chibi angel praised.

"Is this all of her memories? How come most of them are dark?" I asked while sorting through the young princess body memories. The chibi angel that floated about like a paimon put his small hand to his chin in thought "Those are the memories I was able to recover for you, she has some brain damage which is the result of her forcefully trying to cultivate" the chibi angel stated matter factly.

A loud knocking snapped me out of my conversation with the angel "Princess Qaihong Gho, Concubine Zuzu is requesting to see you" a male voice announce through the door before leaving.

A young maid towards my right exclaimed in shock, she looked to be around thirteen years old and had her hair braided into little loops. If I remember correctly that's my personal maid Cheng Chin "My lady you should change into different clothes" Cheng Chin quickly assure me behind a paper wall and started to change me out of my pajamas.

A few other maids that looked slightly malnourish brought over a black and purple hanfu that was decorated with purple flowers. After they dressed me up in the black and purple hanfu they brushed out my shoulder-length hair and started putting my hair up into simple braids with a pearl white hairpin to finish off my updo.

One of the maids brought a hand mirror to show me their process "This should do, let's go meet mother concubine Zuzu" I stated and walked ahead of my maids with a straight back and my chin raised.

Qaihong Gho usually put up a submissive display for everyone else, but when she was with her maids her demeanor turned servals shades colder. Qaihong Gho nasty tamper would often flare depending on how much humiliation she had faced earlier in the day.

This is what I found out while searching through her memories she has two sides of herself the first one was the meek and helpless Gho and the second side was the she-devil Gho. Despite her tamper she had never once laid a hand on her maids, she just made their duties more difficult.

Cheng Chin was treated differently than the other maids since she is clearly in Qaihong's good books. The place she is staying at is called Lapis Pavillion it was farther away from the main pavilion as her father the emperor is too embarrassed to even look in her direction.

Despite her having over thirty siblings she is the only one who couldn't cultivate, making her trash in everyone. Rumors even started saying she wasn't her father-daughter which only fuel her hatred.

Cheng Chin didn't want to be defenseless so she secretly took up the art of spear ever since she was eight years old from an old guardsmen's that specialized in spear art. Currently from what she could gather the body that she is in is currently is only fourteen years old.

"Cheng Chin, how long was I a vegetable?" I asked with a furrowed brow as we walked towards the concubine pavilion also known as the roseary. After walking for god knows how long we had finally made it to the rosary pavilion, the guards remained station at the front doors.

They didn't bat an eye as I walked past them and into the pavilion, many maids and eunuch walked past me with a look of disgust or disinterest. I didn't let their judgmental gaze get under my skin and if I did I would've been a failed princess in my past life.

I kept my eyes lowered to keep up that meek act that the previous Gho had preform before I took over. I stop outside a door that had the name Zuzu on a metal template and knocked "Mother concubine Gho'er is here to see you" my voice sounded weak and small most likely because I had just woken up not that long ago.

A maid that wore a lime green dress open the door with a smile "Qaihong Gho please come this way" the maid bowed her head at a ninety-degree angle to show her respect before guiding me to a small table where my mother sat with a troubled look.

"Gho'er I have a gift from your uncle that's addressed for you wishing you a happy fourteenth birthday" my mother Zuzu stated. A rush of excitement welled up in my chest "really? Uncle Zheng sent me a gift" my mother chuckled at my excitement.

"Go on and open it up Gho'er" she encouraged as she pushed a small square box towards me, I carefully took off the baby blue ribbon and open the box that revealed a beautiful key with a crescent blue moon at the edge which is attached to a silver chain.

"Who would've thought your uncle held onto something so valuable for your development as a blue moon witch" the chibi angel commented as he inspected the key. I had the urge to look at the chibi angel and start asking questions.

"My brother said on your fifteenth birthday he will bring you his next gift personally" my mother Zuzu explained with a gentle look gracing her features. I felt my eyes widen in shock "It's been so long since I had last seen uncle Zheng" I stated with a hint of sorrow.

"Now with that out of the way, come have some desserts with mother" Zuzu beckon me to start eating some jelly-filled treats, I oblige and began to stuff my face. "Gho my child we need to talk later" the angel stated before disappearing from my sight.
