Stared at by her cold, clear eyes, Shang Hongyu sighed inwardly, thinking that it would be really not easy to fool her clever younger sister.
Fortunately, she was prepared and replied, "Don't worry about it, just take this opportunity to leave quickly."
As expected, Shang Liuyu's curiosity was piqued, and he was reluctant to leave like this: "No, what will you do if I leave? We'll go together."
Shang Hongyu shook her head: "I can't leave yet."
"Why?" Shang Liuyu was even more puzzled. Now that she finally had a chance to escape, why did she want to stay?
Is this just a show staged by those imposters?
At this moment, Shang Hongyu hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Because I have to stay with your brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law?" Shang Liuyu frowned. "You mean that imposter?"
“No, it’s true,” Shang Hongyu replied.
"Really?" Shang Liuyu's eyes widened, unable to comprehend the situation for a moment.
Shang Hongyu pretended to hesitate before saying, "The reason I was able to rescue you so easily was because he secretly helped me. He not only diverted some guards under a pretext, but also secretly attracted the main force's attention, which allowed me to successfully sneak in and rescue you."
After listening to her recount the whole story, Shang Liuyu fell into deep thought. After a while, she suddenly said, "Sister, could it be that the brother-in-law you mentioned is actually the imposter, and they deliberately pretended to be the real brother-in-law in order to get the crown from me, and deliberately used you to put on this show to deceive me?"
Hidden in the shadows, Kachir and Zaun exchanged a glance, thinking that this woman was indeed cunning. Fortunately, they were fully prepared, otherwise they would have been seen through.
At this moment, Shang Hongyu said irritably, "Of course it's not fake. Would I not recognize my own man?"
"How can you be so sure?" Shang Liuyu still felt that there were many suspicious points in the whole matter.
"You'll understand when you have a husband," Shang Hongyu said somewhat awkwardly.
Shang Liuyu's expression suddenly became strange, as if he had guessed something: "You have already..."
Shang Hongyu felt a bit scared at the thought of her sister finding out the truth in the future, but she still had to keep up the act, so she could only blush and say, "Don't worry, he really is your brother-in-law, he's just pretending to be the imposter right now."
"What about the imposter?" Shang Liuyu asked curiously, the whole thing sounding utterly unbelievable.
He is dead.
"Dead?"
Shang Hongyu then recounted the events of her arrest, which amazed her younger sister.
From the shadows, Kachir couldn't help but give Zaun a thumbs up. This guy was really something; in just two days, he had the Queen completely under his thumb, and now he spoke of his plans so naturally.
Zuan looked strange. Perhaps Kachir thought Shang Hongyu was acting, but Shang Hongyu was clearly telling the truth, which was why she could act so convincingly.
"I never expected that my brother-in-law would save you by sheer chance!" After hearing this, Shang Liuyu had no more doubts, but was overjoyed. The whole thing had truly taken an unexpected turn.
"Hmph, judging from your previous attitude, you seemed to suspect that my sister and those guys were conspiring to deceive you," Shang Hongyu said with some dissatisfaction.
Shang Liuyu hurriedly apologized: "My dear sister, I was just afraid you would be deceived by those guys. With dangers lurking all around us, I couldn't help but be a little overly sensitive."
"Now that you've found out, you should leave quickly. Take this opportunity to get as far away from the Dragon Palace as possible," Shang Hongyu urged, following the plan. Only in this way could she fit the image of an older sister who cared about her younger sister's safety.
Shang Liuyu shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. You and my brother-in-law are in such danger right now, how can I escape alone?"
Kachir was increasingly satisfied. As expected, the sisters understood each other better. At first, he was a little worried when he heard that the other party wanted to persuade Shang Liuyu to leave, but at that time, Shang Hongyu firmly guaranteed that her sister would never agree to leave.
Hehe, the Third Princess's expression will be quite interesting when she finds out the Queen was lying to her.
“But it’s even more dangerous for you to stay here,” Shang Hongyu continued to persuade. “If you get caught again, we may not be able to save you.”
Shang Liuyu chuckled: "I was only caught because I was careless before. Now that I'm on guard, I won't fall into enemy hands so easily."
On the other side, Kachiel sneered. Capturing you now would be as easy as turning his head, but he was just pretending not to know in order to trick you into revealing the whereabouts of the crown.
Shang Liuyu continued, "Sister and brother-in-law, you must be short of your own people right now. Countless people in the Dragon Palace have been replaced by imposters. With me by your side to support you, you can do things with more peace of mind."
Shang Hongyu was somewhat tempted: "Then where do you plan to hide?"
Shang Liuyu thought for a moment and replied, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Right now, those imposters must think I'm desperately trying to escape, and they're definitely going to hunt me down everywhere. But I'm hiding right next to you, letting them be in the dark."
"Around us?" Shang Hongyu panicked a little; this wasn't what she had initially planned.
If she were watching from the side, wouldn't that mean...?
Ugh, this is infuriating!
Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Kachir's voice in her ear: "Say yes!"
It's much easier to keep Shang Liuyu under our watchful eyes than to let her roam freely outside.
Shang Hongyu hesitated, but since things had progressed smoothly so far, she didn't want to clash with Kachir over this: "Alright, but your appearance and temperament are too outstanding, so you might need to get some modifications."
