Chapter 2144: Exposed Pt. 1



Chapter 2144: Exposed Pt. 1

When she saw her sister's cold and clear eyes stare at her, Shang Hongyu sighed.

Fooling this smart little sister really isn’t easy.

Fortunately, she was prepared for this and replied, “Don’t worry about all of that and just use this chance to leave.”

Sure enough, Shang Liuyu’s curiosity was diverted. But how could she bear to just leave? She replied, “No! What will you do if I leave? If we’re leaving, then we’re leaving together.”

Shang Hongyu shook her head. “I can’t leave yet.”

“Why?” Shang Liuyu asked, feeling more and more confused. They had finally managed to get a chance to leave, so why would her sister still stay behind?

Is all of this just orchestrated by those imposters?

After some hesitation, Shang Hongyu said quietly, “It’s because I have to keep your brother-in-law company.”

“Brother-in-law?” Shang Liuyu frowned. “Are you talking about that imposter?”

“No, he’s real,” Shang Hongyu replied.

“Real?” Shang Liuyu widened her eyes. She suddenly found that she couldn't understand the situation.

Shag Hongyu pretended to be a bit hesitant, then said, “The reason why I was able to help you escape so easily is because he was secretly helping me. Now only did he transfer away some of the guards, he's also secretly drawing their attention away. That was how I was able to sneak in and rescue you.”

When she heard everything her older sister said, Shang Liuyu began to think to herself. A while later, she suddenly said, “Big sister, could it be that the brother-in-law you are talking about is actually still that imposter, but for the sake of obtaining my crown, they’re deliberately pretending to be my real brother-in-law and are just using this performance to fool me?”

Ka Qier, who was hiding in the darkness, exchanged a look with Zu An.

This woman is incredibly cunning after all. Thank goodness we prepared sufficiently, or else we really would have been exposed.

Meanwhile, Shang Hongyu said impatiently, “Of course he’s not fake. How could I not recognize my own man?”

“Why are you so sure?” Shang Liuyu asked, still feeling that the whole affair was suspicious.

“You’ll know once you get married,” Shang Hongyu said in embarrassment.

Shang Liuyu’s expression suddenly became a bit strange, as if she had guessed something. “The two of you already...”

Shang Hongyu immediately thought about the social suicide she would experience if her little sister found out the truth. But this act had to continue, so she could only say with a reddened face, “Don’t worry, he is definitely your brother-in-law, but he's pretending to be that imposter.”

“Then what about the imposter?” Shang Liuyu asked curiously. The whole affair really sounded a bit ridiculous.

“He’s already dead.”

“Dead?”

Then, Shang Hongyu told her about everything that had happened when she was caught. Her little sister was really amazed as she listened.

Outside, Ka Qier couldn't help but give Zu An a thumbs up.

This guy really is amazing. In just two days, he managed to make the queen completely subservient. She’s actually acting in such a natural and realistic way.

Zu An’s expression was strange. Ka Qier thought that Shang Hongyu was acting, but Shang Hongyu was clearly just telling the truth. That was why it sounded so real.

When she heard what her older sister said, Shang Liuyu didn’t suspect her either; instead, she felt really happy at the turn of events. “I didn’t expect brother-in-law to actually have been able to save you!”

“Hmph, and judging from how you were acting a moment ago, it almost looked as if you were suspecting your big sister of working with those guys to trick you,” Shang Hongyu said unhappily.

Shang Liuyu quickly apologized. “My amazing big sister, I was worried that you were fooled by those guys, you know? I can’t help but be a bit more sensitive since we’re constantly surrounded by danger.”

“Since you already asked everything you wanted to know, just get away first. Use this chance to get as far away from the Dragon Palace as possible,” Shang Hongyu urged her according to their plans. Only then would she seem more like a big sister who cared about her little sister’s safety.

Shang Liuyu shook her head. “I’m not leaving. You and brother-in-law are still in so much danger. How can I escape all on my own?”

Ka Qier was feeling more and more satisfied.

As expected, these sisters understandd each other best.

At first, he had been worried when he heard Shang Hongyu urge her sister to leave, but previously, Shang Hongyu had expressed certainty that her little sister wouldn’t agree.

Heh, I wonder just what kind of amazing expression the third princess will have once she finds out that the queen fooled her.

“But it’ll be more dangerous if you stay behind here,” Shang Hongyu continued. “What if you get captured again? We might not be able to save you again.”

Shang Liuyu smiled and said, “I was only captured because I was careless. Now that I’m prepared, I won’t fall into their hands so easily again.”

Meanwhile, Ka Qier sneered.

It’ll still be just as easy to capture you. But for the sake of the crown’s whereabouts, we’re just pretending that we don’t know.

Shang Liuyu continued, “Big sister and brother-in-law just happen to lack one of your own people here. Who knows how many people in the Dragon Palace have already been replaced by those imposters. With me assisting you, things will be a bit more reassuring.”

Shang Hongyu was a bit moved. She asked, “Then where are you going to hide?”

Shang Liuyu thought for a bit and said, “The most dangerous place is the safest place. Those imposters must think that I’m running frantically to escape right now, so they must have gone far away to arrest me, but I’ll just be hiding right by your side. It’ll be a blind spot in broad daylight.”

“Our side?” Shang Hongyu was now a bit flustered. Things didn’t seem to be going according to their plan!

If she stays by my side, then wouldn’t Ah Zu and I be...

Ahhh! Social suicide!

She was about to refuse when Ka Qier’s voice said in her ear, “Agree to what she says!”

Having Shang Liuyu under their direct monitoring would make things much easier than having her run around anywhere else.

Shang Hongyu was hesitant, but things were going so smoothly that she didn’t want to start any conflict with Ka Qier just because of this. She said, “I guess it’s fine too. But your appearance stands out too much, so you might have to change it a bit.” Then, she took out a thin mask and gave it to her sister, continuing, “Put this on to change your appearance. This is something I used while I was fleeing before, and it helped me escape many pursuers.”

Ka Qier didn’t doubt what she said at all. She was the Ocean races' queen, so it was normal for her to have treasures.

No wonder they couldn't catch her even with the arrest order.

But when Shang Liuyu picked up the mask, she was a bit absent-minded. She seemed to recall that Zu An used to have something similar.

“What’s wrong?” Shang Hongyu asked when she saw her sister in a daze.

“It’s nothing.” Shang Liuyu chuckled and immediately put the mask on. Its cool sensation wasn't uncomfortable at all. With a wave of Shang Hongyu’s hand, a mirror formed on the water surface to reflect her appearance.

When she saw the ordinary face that appeared, Shang Liuyu nodded and said, “This is better. My face won’t draw any more attention.”

In the shadows, Ka Qier was surprised. This was a face that would indeed be completely overlooked and forgotten. If it wasn’t because he had already known that she was changing her appearance, he really wouldn’t be able to catch her again.

Shang Hongyu grabbed her little sister’s hand. “If you want to stay, we have to immediately return to the palace. These guys have probably already realized what's going on and might investigate me soon.”

Shang Liyyu also became a bit nervous and quickly followed her back to her palace.

Shang Hongyu opened a hidden wardrobe and took out a maid outfit for her to change into. “I was planning to use this to escape, but it’s perfect for you right now.”

Shang Liuyu chuckled. She didn’t hesitate at all and quickly began to change clothes.

Shortly after she finished, there was some clamoring outside. Then, Ka Qier barged in with a group of people.
