Later, the former queen became me
"Your Majesty, the substitute you requested has been found."
I looked up and saw that the face that was exactly the same as that of the late empress was the maid who changed my clothes on the dragon bed yesterday.
She knelt on the ground, trembling and said she was willing to atone for the late queen's sins.
I chuckled: "Atonement? Then pay her back everything you owe her."
But later, when I discovered the old scar on her back that only I and the Queen knew about, the wine glass in my hand suddenly fell to the ground.
But she raised her clear eyes that were completely different from the queen's: "Your Majesty, do you recognize this scar?"
I grabbed her wrist fiercely: "Who are you?"
She frowned in pain and blurted out the nickname the queen called me when I was still the prince.
"A Zhao..." Her eyes filled with water, "I'm back."
