After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 819 Virtual World (4)
CHAPTER 819: CHAPTER 819 VIRTUAL WORLD (4)
The concubine was so scared that she leaned back, held her chest, and looked utterly frightened, "Princess, what do you mean by this? Aren’t we good sisters? Do we really need to adhere to those common courtesies between sisters?"
"Sisters?"
Shi Yaoguang seemed to have heard a joke, "When I am willing to indulge you, I naturally permit you to call me sister."
"If I am not willing, what do you think you are?"
The concubine felt enraged by her disdainful attitude, "Princess! You are too much! I have sincerely considered you as a sister, yet you treat me like this? Do you know how heartbroken I am?"
"How heartbroken you are, what does it have to do with me?"
The concubine met Shi Yaoguang’s cold eyes and felt a sense of dread in her heart.
She couldn’t help but start to doubt whether her plan would still succeed.
Shi Yaoguang looked at her scheming face and slowly spoke, "The matter of my falling into the water..."
Concubine: "It wasn’t me!"
Shi Yaoguang’s sharp gaze shot towards her, "It wasn’t you?"
The concubine’s face turned pale, but she still vehemently denied it, "It really wasn’t me, Your Highness. Don’t you believe me? Who else in this palace is willing to be your good sister besides me?"
"If not for me, you, Your Highness, would be all alone! Can mere amnesia make you forget our past? Those beautiful memories, I cannot forget them to this day! Yet you easily forgot them. Does the time spent with Xiangxiang mean nothing to you?"
Shi Yaoguang let her finish her heartfelt words and then slowly said, "I just lost my memory, I didn’t lose my mind."
The concubine didn’t understand why she was saying this.
Shi Yaoguang continued, "I lost my memory, just forgot some things from the past."
"But... do I still need to say more about how I fell into the water, Xiangxiang?"
The concubine trembled and suddenly started crying, looking as pitiful as one could be.
"I really didn’t mean it..." she said, kneeling down at Shi Yaoguang’s feet with a thud, pitiably saying, "Your Highness, I really didn’t mean it. I was very flustered at that time. I didn’t intend to harm you. If you’re angry because of this, I can understand. I won’t blame you, Your Highness."
Shi Yaoguang laughed.
"You caused me to fall into the water, that’s your fault, right? Why are you talking about not blaming me? Do you think, in your heart, that your falling into the water was my doing?"
The concubine vigorously shook her head, "No, it’s not like that!"
"Then what is it like?" Shi Yaoguang looked at her with a faint smile, "Do you dare say that you didn’t try to kill me because I discovered your plot?"
The concubine became even more panicked.
She never expected Shi Yaoguang to fully remember.
This was completely beyond her expectations.
Wasn’t she supposed to be amnesic?
How could she remember everything about her fall into the water?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but get anxious.
If the emperor found out about this, she would be doomed!
Thinking of the worst possible outcome, she looked at Shi Yaoguang with hopeful eyes and asked, "Princess, have you really lost your memory?"
Shi Yaoguang gave a vague answer, "Perhaps."
Just as the concubine thought she might still have a chance, Shi Yaoguang added, "I might not clearly remember some things, but... I know a lot about your matters."
Hearing this, the concubine’s last bit of hope vanished completely.
She looked at Shi Yaoguang with hatred in her eyes and questioned her, "What do you want to do for you to let me go?"
"Let you go?" Shi Yaoguang seemed to have heard a joke, "You’ve done such a rebellious thing, why would you think I would let you go?"
How ridiculous.
The concubine was unrivaled in her Xiangche Palace.
Maidservants and eunuchs, she could treat however she wanted.
But here, with Shi Yaoguang.
She didn’t even dare to refer to herself as "I."
The more the concubine thought, the more aggrieved she felt.
After all, she was the emperor’s concubine, why should she bow down to a princess?
Clearly, she also had some leverage!
As long as her plan succeeded, Shi Yaoguang, this Princess Zhaoyang, would not be able to hinder her anymore.
With these thoughts, the concubine took out a dagger, deciding to finish what she started, and stabbed towards Shi Yaoguang.
Shi Yaoguang did not expect her to resort to violence so quickly but instinctively dodged the dagger’s attack.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Furong exclaim.
Then...
She saw the concubine’s dagger change direction and plunge into her own chest.
Shi Yaoguang: "..."
There were some choice curse words in her mind, unsure if they were appropriate.
Was this concubine a demon?
Or did she possess some sorcery?
How did she manage this?
Could it be that the dagger had come to life?
With a mind full of doubts, Shi Yaoguang fainted.
When she woke up again.
She had become the concubine.
That’s right, it was so absurd!
--The concubine stabbed Princess Zhaoyang’s heart and was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
When she woke up, she was in the Heavenly Prison.
Given her status as a concubine, the prison guards were cautious, they even hinted at giving her food every day.
Except, it was all spoiled.
Even if the food wasn’t spoiled before being sent in, it would be intentionally left to spoil before being delivered.
Even the concubine had no special treatment.
Shi Yaoguang sat on a troublesome straw pile, deep in thought.
What on earth was going on?
Why did her life feel so bizarre and monstrous?
She only knew she woke up in the body of Princess Zhaoyang.
Furong told her she was indeed Princess Zhaoyang.
But honestly, she didn’t feel much resonance with Princess Zhaoyang’s conduct.
Oddly enough, she felt she might not be Princess Zhaoyang.
But she had indeed woken up in the body of Princess Zhaoyang.
Before she could figure out if she was Princess Zhaoyang, she was no longer.
Even a quick slap wouldn’t happen so fast.
Anyway, whether she was Princess Zhaoyang or not, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t be sure.
But she was certain, she definitely wasn’t the concubine.
The concubine.
Xiangxiang.
Click, click.
Even if Shi Yaoguang had to jump from here, even if she had to eat the spoiled food, she wouldn’t be the concubine!
Then, she was brought in for interrogation as "the concubine."
She comforted herself that it was just the world’s suppression, she could handle it.
No problem at all!

Brought before "Princess Zhaoyang," the other party looked at her with curiosity.
Looking at her as if she were an alien.
Shi Yaoguang carefully observed, the lackeys in Zhaoyang Palace had all changed.
Her most familiar maid, Furong, was nowhere to be seen.
"Princess Zhaoyang" noticed her scrutinizing gaze, motioned for everyone in the palace to leave, then laughed heartily, "Princess, are you looking for Furong?"
