Chapter 74 - She Woke Up. (1/2)

The night was dark and gloomy, only the noise of thunderstorms can be heard. It was raining heavily, no one can be seen outside. The noise of thunderstorm and rain is chilling and hair raising. It's windy and raining and animals and birds were running here and there for shelter.

In the Ming's Chamber.

A girl was laying on the bed, with a pale face, it was Zhao Ming. Lu Shi, her maid was sleeping near her bed. She always sleeps in her room to check on her condition. It was a cold night with heavy thunderstorms. She was feeling cold but didn't wake up. She was very tired for the whole day, taking care of her highness. She slept while crying because she heard from the maids, that the title of Empress will be given to Xiao Li. She was upset about her Miss.

While she was in deep slumber, the girl beside her on the bed, moved. She moved her fingers. She was trying to open her eyes, but couldn't open them. She remembers what happened to her, she had given her memories to Zhao Ming who was now living as Xie Ming. She vanished afterward. She thought she will die and will be taken to heaven.

After so many efforts, she was finally able to open her eyes. Her whole body was stiff, and she was feeling cold. She was wet from the rain, as the window was opened due to heavy wind and rainwater make her wet.

When she opened her eyes, she could only see darkness. There was not a single ray of light as the moon was hidden due to thunderstorms. She was confused.

She thought to herself, ' Is this the afterlife? Am I really dead? Haish, I never thought that I will die at such a young age. I haven't done anything yet, I have yet to buy the latest dress collection of brand C but what had happened to me. I have to give my body to that Zhao Ming. Why am I so unlucky.' she cried in her heart.

Then she looked around, ' There is no one to lead me to the heaven or bridge of past life. Generally in the dramas, they show that there will be a Grim Reaper to escort the soul, but I can't see anybody. Do I have to find them myself?' She thought to herself.

” What a tough life, Xie Ming,” she thought out loud.

Lu shi heard the voice but she thought it was her imagination because while staying in this room, with Zhao Ming there are many times that she had these kinds of hallucinations.

Than Zhao Ming, tried to sit up from the bed. It was so hard for her, and her back was also sore due to sleeping for so long and that too on the hard bed.

She got off the bed, when she put her leg down, she mistakenly stepped on the girl sleeping on the floor. She jumped in fright and screamed...” Ahhhh”. The girl also had a similar reaction, she was sleeping, when suddenly someone stepped on her. she opened her eyes in fright and saw a girl in white dress, her hair open, covering her face. She jumped in fear and screamed.

They both screamed at the same time. They nearly wake up the whole palace. The guards guarding outside came running inside. Only to see the girl standing in a white dress, with hair open, they also screamed, ” Ahhh, ghost, Ahh”

Ming got scared with all this commotion. She thought to herself, ” Am I become a ghost? God, why are you doing this to me. I know I was not a spiritual person but you can not punish me like this by making me a ghost. I was the most pretty girl and you made me a ghost. Is this fair?”

While she was busy in her imaginary world, Lu Shi found the lantern and burned it. When the yellow light illuminated in the darkroom, they could see the girl's face vaguely. When Ming removed her hair from her face, Lu Shi cried out in happiness, ” Her highness...”

She came to her and hugged her tightly while crying. Zhao Ming almost stumbled backward, trying to make her balance, she tried to push that cute little girl. She reminded her of Yu Mei, but she was hugging her tightly, that she cannot push her away. She then stopped struggling and stood there blankly. She was still confused about 'what's happening'.

” Aren't I a ghost? Why this girl is hugging me and calling me highness? Is she also a ghost? Am I the leader of ghosts?” she thought to herself. She was having all kinds of ridiculous thoughts.
