North Peak Mainland, Genji Tiger Country
In the underground cell of the Imperial Palace a young beautiful fairy like woman rose weakly off the cold hard ground.
"Genji Tiger Country?"
Xia Rong smiled weakly with her pale cut lips.
"It appears I have arrived in the North Peak Mainland, reincarnated as an Imperial princess, maybe the Heavens really are smiling down upon me!"
This world was divided into Four Peak Mainland's all divided into four powerful countries.
Comparing this body to that of her old body her current state was much more beautiful with a face that can turn the lands upside down, but her body was utterly useless deeming her a good-for-nothing!
This Shi Rong couldn't even cultivate leading to a non-existent level of Qi collection compared to her old body which was at a mid-level Martial Honor.
As expected this Shi Rong being beauty as her only strong suit was constantly bullied and beaten by her sibling and servants while Emperor Shi turned a blind eye towards her treatment. The worst treatment coming from the 2nd prince Shi Zou, who ultimately led her to her death in this desolate cell.
A sneer appeared across Shi Rongs lips. "Shi Rong, I am you, and since you have been wronged then so have I. I shall help you get your revenge, so your soul can rest in peace."
Shi Rong rose to her feet as her body shook weakly.
The golden robes covering her body hung loosely off her skinny body.
Upon noticing this Shi Rong witnessed how malnourished and weak her new body really was.
Shi Rong walked weakly towards the cell door and pushed the gate. Noticing the cell door was unlocked she walked out towards the dungeon stairs, then slowly began to walk up.
"Shi Rong, You're Alive?"
An Imperial Guard who worked for her older brother stared at her stunned, before coming back to his senses.
"Alive?" Shi Rong squinted her eyes slightly while raising her eyebrow. From her memory she recognized this was the guard who led her into the dungeon and had a hand in helping her older brother beat her to death.
"That's right I'm alive. Did you have something to do with my certain situation?"
A cold sweat appeared on the guards forehead as his face paled. He whipped his brow as his gaze fixated on Shi Rong with a sense of ridicule. "Hng!" He snorted. "Since you're obviously well enough head into the Imperial Court Yard Emperor Shi is waiting for you!"
When the guard finished talking he gave her a mocking stare before turning around and leaving.
In the Imperial Court Yard.
Emperor Shi was pacing back and forth in the large courtyard surrounded by guards and The Great Imperial Authorities.
Emperor Shi glanced at Shi Rong.
His sword-like gaze was projected on Shi Rong as if he wished he could cut her into a thousand pieces.
"Shi Rong are you that much of a shameless and good-for-nothing daughter you planned on selling yourself as a lowly concubine!"
Shi Rong glared at Emperor Shi with an emotionless stare.
Emperor Shi's face turned ghastly pale. "You vile evil creature how dare you shame our royal family like this! Have you no respect for your own body or our reputation!"
A scornful arc emanated from the edge of Shi Rongs lips. "Clearly this mere good-for-nothings royal imperial father would rather heed the words from and untruthful mouth with vengeance than the truth from his own daughter. Therefore, I have nothing to say on the matter."
Emperor Shi was stunned.
Was this…...was this really his cowardly good-for-nothing of a daughter who would flinch from a slap from a maid?
Emperor Shi squinted his eyes slightly. "Are you really Shi Rong?"
Shi Rong lifted her face and jeered. "what, are you questioning this good-for-nothings identity? Have I not suffered enough torture and abuse as you can see from my tattered clothes and bruised face? Dear father is this how you allow your 3rd royal daughter to be handled by being beaten by maids and looked upon lewdly by Guards!"
Emperor Shi's face paled with embarrassment. Along he known about the harsh treatment of his daughter but turned a blind eye due to the fact she was a complete good-for-nothing! To have the truth spoken in front of such high officials was embarrassing!
"Is that true?" asked a luxuriously dressed elderly man.
Emperor Shi's forehead broke into a cold sweat.
"Elder…Elder Bai of course it's not true 3rd princess Shi Rong is treated with the most excellent care!" Emperor Shi quickly explained while wipingwhipping his forehead.
Shi Rong glanced at Emperor Shi's embarrassed expression and smiled. "Then why don't we go and examine my chambers? I'm pretty sure The Great Imperial Authorities would love to witness my excellent treatment. Wouldn't they Emperor Shi?"
Emperor Shi's face twisted in an intense rage before he retracted it into a calm expression.
"Let us…let us go towards your royal chambers my dearest daughter"
Looking at the departing Shi Rongs back, Emperor Shi's expression turned ghastly.
The way he saw it if The Great Imperial Authorities was to see the state and treatment he left his daughter in he can be discarded and replaced as Emperor! How could he, the Royal Emperor of the Genji Tiger Country be schemed against by a good-for-nothing princess! "Damn you Shi Rong if any misfortune shall fall upon me or my throne I shall have you skinned and burned alive in prison for a month. How wasteful is it to keep this good-for-nothing around if it wasn't for her beautiful features and ability to marry into a powerful royal family then I would have discarded her a long time ago." Emperor Shi cursed this good-for-nothing deep within his heart.
Shi Rong walked towards the end of the palace grounds to a shabby courtyard. The door barely hanging onto the wall as it swung leisurely. Parts of the wooden wall on the side of the ugly little house hung towards the ground allowing oneself to peak into the living room, where the old furniture was covered in dust.
Shi Rong stood there with her arms folded across her chest. She quickly glanced at everyone and finally glanced at Emperor Shi and spoke, "Emperor Shi, am I not a royal princess. Have you ever seen any of the other princes and princesses with such a luxurious home?"
Shi Rong's face wore a beautiful smile that can turn the heavens, but her eyes wore not grinning. She bore an obvious disdain expression as she addressed her father.
The Great Imperial Authorities were stunned at the sight of the ugly shabby torn down courtyard Shi Rong lived in.
Emperor Shi wore an embarrassed expression as he fought back the intense anger boiling in his stomach. He wished to grab Shi Rong and tear her into a million pieces.
Elder Bai glared at Emperor Shi. "Emperor Shi is this the sort of treatment you allow a royal princess to tolerate? If so, then the Great Imperial Authorities will have to rethink your position on the throne!"
Emperor Shi's face turned pale as he turned towards Elder Bai. "Elder Bai this has gone without my knowledge. This is my royal degree anybody who mistreats the 3rd Royal Princess Shi Rong shall be imprisoned and sentenced to death! Dear Xiao Rong from now on you shall have the finest and fanciest courtyard along with twelve maids and four royal guards to fit your status. Your humble father apologizes to you and his heart aches for the treatment you have suffered"
Shi Rong laughed internally at the cowardly display the old imperial expressed in front of her. "Emperor Shi then what of my siblings and 2nd eldest prince Shi Zou surely you must know he is the one responsible for my current state."
Elder Bai's expression turned red from rage.
"Emperor Shi this is highly shameful and unfitting the 2nd Prince Shi Zou can torment the 3rd princess in such a manner? I wonder how you allow 1st, 3rd and 4th prince to treat this good-for-nothing child, along with the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th princess surely you allow them to bully her as well!"
