I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

"How can I be treated harshly? I am fine, right?"

Yang Liu turned over and over to show off her excellent complexion and figure, trying to prove that she was indeed not treated unfairly.

Of course, after successfully staying with Liu Jinyuan, she never treated herself badly again, for she was also afraid that she would be exposed when they really met.

After Liu Jinyuan read it, he nodded with relief, "That's good."

"I'm just the 'Third Princess' who has no one to rely on in the deep palace. How could anyone make things difficult for me? On the contrary, they should treat me better." Yang Liu chuckled.

Although she followed Liu Jinyuan all the way, housekeeper 109 told her everything when she came back. It was just as she said, she was not treated harshly. On the contrary, in order to demonstrate their benevolence and morality, substitute 109 lived a good life.

Liu Jinyuan nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them squeezed into the bed and slept in each other's arms without continuing the conversation.

……

"Royal brother." Yang Liu bowed and stood quietly there, waiting for Liu Chaohe, who was reviewing memorials, to put down his pen.

After many days, the palace gradually stabilized. According to the news from the border, the war had gradually turned around and the end of the war was imminent.

It was over faster than she had imagined. If she didn't start with the person in front of her, it would be difficult to fish in troubled waters.

"Well, Second Princess, there's no need to be so polite. Come, please take a seat."

After hearing this, Liu Chaohe paused, gave the order, and then started reviewing again.

He was not a good emperor, and none of this was what he wanted, but he had to do his job and at least do his duty.

Yang Liu sat on the chair that was specially moved for her. She looked at the other person and quietly thought about the reason why the other person invited her.

The memorials were being reduced one by one, but Liu Chaohe had no intention of getting into the topic. He continued to read and write carefully without any distractions.

Not until Yang Liu was about to fall asleep did Liu Chaohe close the last booklet and look at her.

"Imperial sister?"

Yang Liu's thoughts were interrupted by this call. She looked up blankly, "Huh?"

Yang Liu perked up and looked at Liu Chaohe. He had a faint smile on his face and seemed to be thinking about something when he looked at Yang Liu. After looking at Yang Liu, he shifted his gaze back to the memorials on the table, stacked them up and put them aside.

"Second sister went out, did you encounter anything interesting?"

Liu Chaohe looked like he was about to start a small talk. Yang Liu glanced at him suspiciously, pinched her sleeve to cover her lips and yawned. She seemed to have little interest in talking about her experiences outside.

"After I left, because of the tense war on the border, surprisingly no one came to hunt me down. I said I was wandering outside, but in fact I traveled along the way, and went north for a while. I really missed Jin Yuan, so I rushed to the capital. Nothing happened along the way, and it was quite leisurely. Later, something happened in the palace, and when I came back, I saw that she was not implicated. Now I feel relieved. I am very relieved that you still care about the relationship between the three of us."

Yang Liu spoke very quickly, giving a brief report of what he had seen and heard. Liu Chaohe listened carefully, but waved his hand nonchalantly.

"I am just a lucky guy. If Second Princess were here, I wouldn't necessarily be the one to sit on the throne."

Liu Chaohe spoke nonchalantly. Yang Liu paused and frowned. She looked at Liu Chaohe who was supporting his head to look at her with an expression as if he had eaten a fly. She felt that there was something else behind his words. Under this harmonious appearance, a storm was brewing and about to come. Yang Liu, who often stayed with him, felt a little creepy. What's wrong with both of them?

"Uh... you're scary like this."

"What are you saying, second sister? Haven't I always been like this?" Liu Chaohe suddenly spoke, addressing her affectionately. This was the name he used to call Yang Liu when he was a child and acted coquettishly.

Although it was a little strange for a brother to act like a spoiled child with his sister, he was not much older than Yang Liu, and besides, he didn't care...

"is it?"

Yang Liu didn't believe it.

"My second sister doesn't even tell me the truth, and you still expect me to be honest?"

Liu Chaohe curled his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes, and he didn't continue to play dumb with Yang Liu.

The imperial capital is now under his nose and under his control. He invited Yang Liu not just to reminisce about the past.

"You were the one who tried to beat around the bush with me first, Fourth Brother. I will just give you a taste of your own medicine."

Seeing that Liu Chaohe had stopped pretending, Yang Liu became too lazy to act anymore. She put away her nonchalant look and became serious for a rare moment.

"Oh, I hope Second Princess will stay in this palace. I can ensure that you and Third Princess will have no worries about food and clothing. Don't even think about going out again."

After just a few words, the two of them were on the verge of a fight, but Liu Chaohe's intention was not to do that, so he stopped talking first.

"Go down."

Yang Liu looked at him, trying to find a hint of the reason why he chose to do this from his eyes and behavior, but unfortunately, Liu Chaohe was too serious and she couldn't guess.

"Second Princess, please." A palace servant spoke.

Yang Liu's eyes darkened slightly. She no longer gave the other party a good look and turned away.

She couldn't understand the current Liu Chaohe. She couldn't analyze his plot at all because he shouldn't have existed in the first place.

……

"Sister, try this, it's delicious."

Liu Jinyuan picked up the dishes and put them into Yang Liu's bowl, but unfortunately, ever since coming back from Liu Chaohe's place last time, Yang Liu had been absent-minded, listless, and full of worries.

"Ah."

Yang Liu continued to clear her mind while eating Liu Jinyuan's food. Now she accidentally came to a dead end again and she began to feel a little melancholy.

"Sister, you seem to be worried lately." Liu Jinyuan mentioned it casually while helping Yang Liu serve the dishes.

Yang Liu paused. She seemed to be too depressed, even the little girl noticed it.

Liu Jinyuan had discovered it a long time ago, but was hesitating whether to expose it, because Yang Liu always handled everything with ease and without the need for others to interfere. Now that she was so distressed, it must be a big deal. She hesitated for a long time before she dared to ask carefully.

Yang Liu put down his chopsticks and sighed heavily, and Liu Jinyuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"I regret saving that kid Liu Chaohe. I didn't expect that he would end up being a threat. Now he is the biggest stumbling block, and he seems to have known our moves. I'm afraid he is also preparing."

"..." This matter...

Liu Jinyuan was silent. She thought it was a big deal.

"Ah."

She didn't ask any more questions. Now that she knew what it was, it was easy to deal with. There was no need to add more burden to her sister.

"Eat your food. It's all my fault. I made you worry."

Seeing that Liu Jinyuan remained silent, Yang Liu thought that this matter also made him upset, so she quickly interrupted the conversation, picked up the dishes and put them in Liu Jinyuan's bowl, urging him to eat.

"it is good."

Liu Jinyuan raised his eyes to look at Yang Liu, curled up a faint smile, and ate more and more dishes in the bowl bite by bite.

My sister is still my sister, but her heart seems to have changed.
