She then took out a mask as thin as a cicada's wing and handed it to the other person: "Wear this to cover your face. I used it when I was on the run some time ago, and it helped me fool a lot of pursuers."
Hearing her say that, Kachir had no doubts. As the queen of the sea tribe, it was normal for her to have some treasures. No wonder they hadn't caught her despite the previous warrants for her arrest.
However, Shang Liuyu was a little lost in thought as she held the mask. She seemed to remember that Zu'an had a similar mask before.
"What's wrong?" Shang Hongyu asked when she saw her in a daze.
"It's nothing." Shang Liuyu smiled and immediately put the mask on his face. It was cool and refreshing, but not uncomfortable at all.
With a casual wave of her hand, Shang Hongyu conjured a mirror in the seawater beside her, reflecting her face.
Looking at her ordinary face in the mirror, Shang Liuyu nodded and said, "That's for the best, so it won't attract attention."
Kachir was secretly surprised. Such a face was indeed easy to forget in a crowd. If he hadn't known beforehand, he might not have been able to catch her.
At this moment, Shang Hongyu grabbed her sister's hand: "If you want to stay, we have to go back to the palace immediately. I'm sure those guys have already realized what's going on and are probably investigating me."
Upon hearing this, Shang Hongyu became somewhat nervous and quickly followed her back to her palace.
Shang Hongyu opened a hidden cabinet, took out a palace maid's dress and handed it to the other person: "I originally planned to use it when I escaped, but now it's perfect for you."
Shang Liuyu smiled and, without the slightest hesitation, quickly began to change his clothes.
She had just changed her clothes when a commotion broke out outside.
Immediately afterwards, Kachir led a group of people in and barged in.
Shang Hongyu stepped forward with a stern face and said, "General, this is my palace after all. What is the purpose of you bringing so many people to break in at night?"
Kachiel chuckled inwardly. This woman was quite the actress. She had already been reduced to a ball of fluff, yet she was still pretending to be a noble queen.
However, he obviously wouldn't expose the other party at this moment. Instead, he sharply scanned the surroundings, pretending to be searching for something.
Shang Liuyu, who was in the distance, automatically blended into the group of palace maids and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid revealing any flaws in his eyes.
Kachir then asked, "What was the Queen doing just now?"
"Of course I'm resting. Do I need to explain this to you?" Shang Hongyu's face was frosty, unlike the rosy face she had in front of Zu An.
Kachiel snorted. Perhaps these palace maids are intimidated by your noble demeanor, but I know that not long ago you knelt humbly before the fake Dragon King to serve him. If it weren't for the important matter at hand, she would regret speaking to me like this today.
"Didn't you go out?" He turned to the palace maids and guards beside him.
"The Queen seems to have been in her bedchamber the whole time," the men replied.
Shang Hongyu was, after all, a Grandmaster, and Kachir had deliberately relaxed the defenses here today, so she was able to sneak out and sneak back without being discovered by anyone else.
"I see." Kachir fell into a deep thought.
Shang Liuyu, standing in a distant corner, felt her heart leap into her throat. If he discovered her, not only would she be in danger, but her sister and brother-in-law would also be in danger.
These imposters are too mysterious. They have now basically cut off the Dragon Palace's connection with the outside world. My brother-in-law and sister won't even have time to mobilize the sea creatures' power before they are dealt with by them.
Thinking of this, she secretly regretted that she had been too impulsive. If she had really harmed her sister and brother-in-law, she would have been guilty beyond redemption.
Just then, Zuan returned with a squad of soldiers: "What's going on? There are so many people here."
Shang Hongyu snorted: "Ask him."
Zaun looked at Kachir.
Kachir chuckled. This woman was just a ball of fluff in front of the Dragon King; in front of me, she was still the noble and dignified queen.
He then played along, saying, "Someone just kidnapped three... cough cough, I came over here to check the situation."
“I just heard the commotion and went out to investigate, but I didn’t find any trace of the thief. It seems that the other party was prepared. We should quickly and secretly block all the key roads to prevent her from escaping,” Zu’an replied.
“The last time we issued a warrant for the Queen’s arrest, it already caused quite a stir. If we do it again, I’m afraid… well, for now, this is the only option.” Kachir seemed hesitant, but ultimately decided to leave.
When he reached Shang Liuyu's side, he suddenly stopped and said, "When did Your Majesty's taste become so bad? How can such an ordinary-looking palace maid be worthy of serving you?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Liuyu's heart jumped. Oh dear, she had forgotten that her brother-in-law was a super lecher. All the palace maids serving her were beautiful women, while her own ordinary face stood out conspicuously.
Shang Hongyu, who was standing to the side, seemed to be staring at her as well, her heart pounding in her chest.
Zuan glanced at her and casually replied, "Her face may be a bit plain, but her figure is top-notch."
Shang Liuyu: "..."
She never imagined that one day she would be grateful for such a "praise".
Kachir sized her up: "She does have a good figure. Why don't you bestow this palace maid upon me, Your Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Liuyu's heart, which had just settled down, nearly jumped out of his chest in fright.
"If you like it, go find it yourself. I've got my eye on this one." Zu An stood in front of Shang Liuyu.
Shang Liuyu: "..."
One day, she was actually moved by her brother-in-law's kindness towards her...
"Alright, alright, how could I dare to snatch what His Majesty has taken a liking to?" Kachir had only intended to scare Shang Liuyu on purpose, not that he really wanted her, and took this opportunity to leave.
