Next, the Mermaid Queen led Zaun back to the palace grounds. She was worried that he would be curious about how she could pass through the palace's defensive formations so easily, but she saw him looking around blankly, seemingly unaware of how absurd it was that she could pass through so easily.
"He really is a foolish guard." The mermaid queen chuckled, the image of him knowing her true identity flashing through her mind again. Her jaw would probably drop to the ground.
Arriving at a room next to her bedroom, she instructed, "I need to report what just happened to the Queen. I won't be back for a while, so you wait here. Don't wander off. Someone will come to help you change your clothes in a bit."
"Change clothes?" Zu An instinctively covered his collar, looking terrified.
Mermaid Queen: "..."
What do you mean by looking at me like I'm afraid you'll molest me?
Anger from Gong Suyin: +6 +6 +6...
"Since you're going to disguise yourself as a guard under the Queen, isn't it inappropriate for you to wear this Dragon Palace guard uniform?" She could only suppress the anger in her heart and explain.
"I see." Zu'an then feigned sudden realization.
The mermaid queen snorted, gave him a few more instructions, and then went to the next room with a stern face.
"Your Majesty, you're finally back!" The little maid was pacing anxiously in the outer room, and her face lit up with joy when she saw her return.
As the other party's personal maid, how could she not recognize his disguised face?
The Mermaid Queen turned around, her mask removed, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. Her guard uniform had been replaced by a magnificent long dress. Upon hearing this, her eyes narrowed: "You didn't tell anyone else, did you?"
"I'm not stupid, why would I say something like that?" The little maid asked with a grin, "Your Majesty, did you go to rescue Princess Peacock? Did you manage to rescue her?"
"Don't ask about these irrelevant things. Go find a set of guard clothes and change that little guard next door into." The Mermaid Queen sat in front of the mirror, fixing her hair, making sure she wouldn't give herself away in the end.
"Okay, give it to Princess Peacock... Ah?" The little maid was nodding when she suddenly realized something was wrong. Why wasn't it Princess Peacock being given clothes to change, but a guard?
What's going on?
"What are you standing there for? Go quickly." The Mermaid Queen suddenly remembered something and instructed, "Never mind, I'll go with you. Remember not to reveal my identity. That guy only knows that I was rescued in that state. I'll tell him I'm the Queen's maid."
"Oh, okay." The maid nodded hurriedly. I knew it! Why would the Queen bring a man back?
It seems she didn't reveal her true identity, probably to distance herself from the other party.
The maid suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, tell him your name so I can be prepared and avoid being exposed later."
The mermaid queen's face stiffened, and after a moment's hesitation, she whispered two words: "Suyin."
The little maid's eyes widened instantly: "???"
So you told him your real name?
This is probably the first man in the world to know your real name, right?
What is the Queen up to?
A burning desire for gossip ignited in her eyes in an instant. Just who was that guard next door that the Queen would look at him with such special regard?
The Mermaid Queen snorted coldly: "Hurry up and get to work!"
The little maid stuck out her tongue and hurriedly ran out.
Not long after, he returned with a brand new set of guard clothes, a speed that left even the mermaid queen speechless.
"Your Majesty, shall we go now?" The little maid's heart was pounding like a cat's claws.
"Hmm." The Mermaid Queen looked in the mirror again, making sure that there was no trace of her previous appearance, before getting up and walking to the next room.
The maid's expression was unusually strange. It had been a long time since she had seen the queen dress up so carefully. What kind of magic did that guard possess?
He must be the most handsome man in the world, or one of the most powerful beings in the world—oh wait, if he were really that powerful, why would he be a guard?
All her doubts were quickly answered, and when she opened the door to the next room, she was completely stunned.
What a peerless beauty, what a peerless expert, all shattered in an instant.
Before him was an ordinary guard, though he was tall and upright with bright eyes, he was indeed just an ordinary guard.
Over the years, while working alongside the Queen, she has been showered with affections by all sorts of extraordinary men, and her standards have risen accordingly. Every man who pursues her is more handsome than this guy.
No, even the Queen's guards are much more handsome than him.
There is no guard in the entire merfolk clan who looks so ordinary.
After all these years, the Queen has rejected so many people, and this is the one she likes?
So she likes ugly people?
It's said that the taste of the wealthy is hard to predict, but the taste of stunning beauties seems equally difficult to discern.
While the little maid was inwardly complaining, the Mermaid Queen coldly stared at Zu'an: "You're the guard Su Yin mentioned?"
Seeing the inexplicable shock in the other person's eyes, she felt a surge of pride and barely managed to suppress the slight upturn of her lips.
Zuan was in the next room contemplating whether he should take the opportunity to leave and avoid getting involved in more trouble.
But then he realized that Morgard and his group seemed to be heading this way again, and if he left, the Mermaid Queen might be in danger.
Just as they were struggling with their decision, they discovered that the other person had already pushed open the door and entered.
But what he didn't expect was that the other party would come in the form of a mermaid queen!
Despite their different appearances, the two had been standing so close together that it was impossible for him, a master of aura observation, not to tell them apart.
The woman before him truly lived up to the praise he had heard throughout his journey in the Dragon Palace: "The Mermaid Queen is the most beautiful!"
She was stunningly beautiful, with unparalleled looks.
But what shocked Zuan the most was that the other person's appearance was very similar to that of the Shang Liuyu sisters.
It possesses both the refined elegance of the Shangliu fish and the alluring beauty of the Shanghong fish.
Of course, Shang Liuyu and Shang Hongyu are sisters, so they naturally look somewhat alike, and he couldn't say for sure who they resembled more.
Zuan was completely stunned. It was exactly what she feared. No one would believe that there was no relationship between them.
Did I really encounter the ancestors of the two sisters?
The mermaid queen, unaware of what the other was thinking, assumed that he was simply amazed by her beauty.
The pent-up frustration in my heart finally eased, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy.
She deliberately sneered, "Hearing Su Yin mention it, you think my beauty is undeserved?"
Zu An glanced at her with a complicated expression. He hadn't expected this woman to be so vengeful.
He could only reply, "That was just because I saw that Suyin had an ordinary appearance and was worried that she would feel inferior, so I deliberately comforted her like that."
Mermaid Queen: "..."
The maid standing nearby was shocked. Hearing the queen and him talking in plain tones, she thought, "What are you two playing at?"
Why did you bring me along? Am I part of your game too?
