Chapter 2

I woke up and slowly opened my eyes but what i was saw is the decoration of my room. Am i here in my room and no one helped me?. but i feel comfy behind my back.

i slowly touched the surface and i thought i was in the cold floor lying but fortunately i was being held here in my bed.

i heard footsteps coming near me. i closed my eyes because it hurts. i was just listening around. i heard another footsteps coming through.

" how was the patient, doc? " a woman ask. i think that's my assistant.

" she's fine but she needs to rest for a few days " i heard the doctor sigh.

" what was the results? "

" she's having a fever and also an exhaustion to work. suffering from fatigue. Working overtime for her isn't good. you need to look out for her. if she continue working like that, i must say she's slowly destroying herself " the doctor explained. is that so? so all this time i was suffering from this work and that cause my illness.

" what are the medications she needs to intake? "

" the nurse will give you the list of her medication that i prescribed and go get it to the royal pharmacy later. the dosage are also indicated. i will send it to you later for now let her rest "

" okay doc. "

" excuse i need to leave " and there the doctor is walking away. i slowly opened my eyes and my assistant suddenly came to me holding my palm.

" how are you, my lady? are you okay? you fainted earlier " she asked. the worried tone is visible. i smiled and look at her.

" i'm fine, just a bit dizzy and yeah tired " i said.

" good, you have to rest for a few more days so that you can fast recover. don't worry the other matters, i'll handle it " she said. oh yeah! i almost forgot.

" by the way, did you send the files? what happened to the banquet? did you also send my gifts? " i asked. she looks worried.

" t-the files..... i'm afraid it was stolen and t-the gifts are.... broken " she said. WHAT?! who did it?

" what? who did that? that gifts cost more than one million and the files i worked out last night was stolen? who did that? i was just fainted and now what?! is this what the terrible news that would welcome me? " i said in a furious.

" I-i think your sister did that " she said. yeah, maybe it was lan. that woman has no mercy for all the things i've done.

" she's so... sigh..

forget it. i need to worked now " i said and get out of the bed but the assistant stopped me.

" but miss you are not recovered yet " she said.

" it's fine. work comes fi--- "

The phone was suddenly ringing that made me cut my words. i reached my phone and receive the call from the secretary.

" thank you for sending the files lady hesia, sorry for disturbing your rest " the secretary said.

" no, it's fine. you're welcome " i said and hang up. confused is written in my face.

" what was that? " i asked my assistant.

" i-i don't know miss.. " uhmm.. well she looks pretty guilty.

" well, i should get going " i was about to leave after tidying myself when my phone suddenly rings.

i answered it.

" hello? " i greeted.

" you unfilial kid! thank you for sending this wonderful gifts. where did you buy it? it's quite expensive and with a high quality. thank you, lady hesia "

???

even if i was confused i still say my welcome. that's strange.

" tell me honestly, what is really happening? " i asked calmly.

" uhmm... i-i " before she could speak a loud voice of the eunuch reached in my room.

" HERE COMES THE EMPEROR!!! " he said. i heard so many footsteps and said their greetings to the emperor.

well, i can see people from the outside and it's infront of my door.

i rushed out to open the door and greeted the emperor.

" long live your majesty, long live the emperor " i said and kneel.

" at ease " his cold voice run down through my shoulders. i didn't see my assistant in my side and it so strange. i stood up and i met his majesty's eyes. i-its kinda scary...

" a delicate woman like you shouldn't keep a bargage in your side " he said that made me confused.

" uhm.. your majesty what are you tal---- " his majesty cut my words.

" arrest her and whip her 50 times and then fired her. i should not see her wandering in this palace. do you understand?! " his majesty said and my heartbeat run so fast that i could only hear my heartbeat. am i going to get arrested and get whipped for 50 times?! what did i do?

i couldn't make any move and i feel like i'm being paralyzed.

" my lady! my lady, please help me! i didn't do it! please help me!! " and that made me snap from the reality.

" assistant xiao... why.. why did you get arrested? " i asked out of the blue but assistant xiao was dragged out with the guards.

" she comitted a serious crime " that's the only thing i heard.

all this time, the people around me are the traitors. they betray me and what i did for them was to treat them fairly like a sisters. but in the end this is how i got.

" i assigned a newly employed servants for you. this time, you can trust them " the emperor said. i look at him but his face, his posture nothing change.

" don't get the wrong idea, mother asked me to bring you a newly servant and catch the crime. my mother dotes on you, so you should not let her down. " he said and take his leave.

but before he could walk away i said my thanks to him.

" thank you for everything your majesty " i said and kneel.

i couldn't believe everything.

i get up from kneeling but i can't. my head is dizzy and i don't have strength..

i was about to crawl but the two servants closed the door and helped me walk to my bed.

" rest my lady, you shall not walk around " they said.

two of them are pretty. i should asked their names.

" uhmm.. thank you, what should i call you by the way? " i asked. they look at each other and smiled.

" don't you remember us, lady hexia? we're the kids you always give a gifts everyday, you supported us and that's why we are here to apply and got accepted. luckily the empress dowager asked us to be your new servants. we can be your assistant, double agent, and all! now do you remember us? " a servant in a color red dress said.

" is that so? i... still can't remember. " i said trying to recalling everything.

" we're the kids that we always steal things and we also steal your things but you still choose to forgive us and helped us out. " the servant in blue dress said.

steal things... giving gifts...

oh!! now i remember!

" i remember now! you're meng meng the one who wears a color red dress and you're shan the one who wears a color blue dress! now i remember "

the both smiling.

" you two grown up now, just treat me as your sister and tell me all your worries, i may help you. " i said.

" well.. we worked hard just to repay you for the kindness you did to us. we will never forget all your kindness to us, my lady " meng and shan said.

" come here you both let me hug you! i missed you two!! " i said and hug them.

i somehow feel happy and sad. i hope that they won't betray me.
