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

"No, Your Majesty. Prince Chaoyuan will die if he leaves me." Ye Cheng smiled softly with his eyes curved. He didn't plan to look for Yang Liu anymore, as he guessed he wouldn't be able to see her.

In the court, the moment Liu Jinyuan proclaimed himself emperor, he knew what situation Yang Liu was in. He came here now just to verify his guess.

"What do you mean?" Liu Jinyuan's eyes turned cold, staring at the sloppy man in front of him and questioned.

"What do you mean? Your Majesty, just go and ask His Highness Chaoyuan and you'll know." Ye Cheng placed the wine and food on the stone table very ostentatiously, poured himself more wine, and looked at Liu Jinyuan.

"Eat something?"

He looked like a young man who was fearless and unafraid of anything.

"Commander Ye, do you still have any respect for superiors and subordinates? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? I am not my sister." Liu Jinyuan's eyes became even colder, and he looked at Ye Cheng as if he were a dead man, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

"Do you know why His Highness Chaoyuan treats me the same as superior?" Ye Cheng asked instead of answering. Seeing that Liu Jinyuan didn't move his chopsticks, he picked up his chopsticks and put some food into his mouth, teasing him while eating.

"..."

"Of course you don't know, otherwise you wouldn't be here."

This meal can't be delivered to Yang Liu, so let's not waste it. He ate it first. What if Liu Jinyuan got angry and really killed him? Wouldn't that be a pity?

"What secret do you and your sister have?" She asked persistently, looking at the food and wine.

Liu Jinyuan didn't expect Ye Cheng to be able to answer, but she had always been unable to control herself when it came to Yang Liu.

"Eat first, and I'll tell you after you're done." Ye Cheng smiled with his eyes curved, looking malicious.

Liu Jinyuan couldn't help but frowned, "No need... Commander Ye, please eat by yourself." There was no way she could accept the other party's threat, so she stood up and left.

Ye Cheng looked at her back, patted his chest carefully, curled his lips and sighed softly: "I was so scared, but fortunately I took advantage of the tiger's power and fooled her."

"Sister Yang Liu is really something. She always tries to commit suicide and I have learned from her." Ye Cheng took a sip of wine, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

That night, Liu Jinyuan couldn't sleep.

……

After that, Yang Liu was imprisoned in the palace and never had the chance to step out of the palace again.

Of course, these were all superficial phenomena that Liu Jinyuan saw. After all, almost all the people in this palace were prepared by Yang Liu. If Yang Liu wanted to go out, in addition to these people who could provide cover, she could even let the housekeeper 109 replace her, and she could use her lightness skills to go out directly. No matter what, it would be impossible to trap Yang Liu.

But Yang Liu was happy to play the role of the former emperor who was imprisoned in the deep palace, depressed and irritable.

The things she had arranged were basically finished, so there was no need to supervise them anymore. With Lao He and Ye Cheng watching, Yang Liu was not worried.

What's more, what she needs to do now is to seek death and maximize her favorability.

But the embarrassing thing is that according to the normal development of the story line, the conditions for death are extremely harsh. One is to be killed by the heroine, which is the original ending of the story line. The second is to die because of the heroine, and there must be no potential factors for the collapse of the plot, otherwise it will be judged as a mission failure.

That is to say, she couldn't die on purpose.

Liu Jinyuan is a suspicious person. Yang Liu cannot do any option that may arouse her suspicion. As a result, she doesn’t know how to improve her favorability and die successfully.

Yang Liu was lying beside the lotus pond, worryingly pulling at the withered lotus pod that had only two or three petals left. She was completely unaware that her heroine was standing not far behind her, silently looking at her.

After being stunned for a while, Yang Liu easily found Liu Jinyuan behind him.

In fact, she hadn't seen Liu Jinyuan face to face for a long time, but with her strong five senses, it was difficult for her not to notice Liu Jinyuan who was watching her from afar.

Suddenly, Yang Liu had the urge to play a prank on others. She stood up and climbed over the fence. Under Liu Jinyuan's panicked and ferocious look, she jumped down...

Liu Jinyuan followed Yang Liu into the water without a second thought. Yang Liu seemed determined to die. Through the muddy flower pond, only Yang Liu's blurry figure could be seen sinking rapidly.

Liu Jinyuan captured Yang Liu's location, swam down quickly and grabbed Yang Liu. Yang Liu had not had a good rest or eaten anything in these days, so she was already weak. As a result, when Liu Jinyuan finally pulled her out from the bottom of the pool, Yang Liu had already lost consciousness.

"What's the use of you quacks!"

Liu Jinyuan was furious. The imperial doctors beside the bed prostrated themselves on the ground and trembled, fearing that Liu Jinyuan would kill them in a rage.

Fortunately, Yang Liu was quite resilient. After a few days of coma, she finally woke up after Liu Jinyuan attended the morning court and changed into her usual clothes and returned to the bedroom. Liu Jinyuan had just stepped into the bedroom and was about to ask her why she left her without a care, when she saw Yang Liu looking at her with confused eyes. There seemed to be some confusion in her eyes. After a probing glance, Yang Liu's eyes lit up.

"Jinyuan, you look really good in this outfit. It's very elegant and suits you very well."

Liu Jinyuan became suspicious of Yang Liu's strange words and actions. He quickly walked forward and touched her forehead. After finding out that her body temperature was slightly cool, he bent down and looked at her.

"Sister, do you remember what happened before you fell into a coma?" "Huh? What coma? I just took a nap. But strangely enough, Jin Yuan, you seem to have grown up a lot."

Liu Jinyuan looked at Yang Liu and pursed her lips in silence. After a long time, he spoke uncertainly.

"Sister, do you really not remember anything?"

"Remember what?"

Liu Jinyuan was about to tell Yang Liu everything that had happened recently, but she stopped suddenly when she met Yang Liu's gentle gaze. She had selfish motives. If it was true, if the amnesia was real, then she could be her good sister all her life, stay in the palace, and stay by her side.

Yang Liu caught a glimpse of the obscure emotion that flashed across Liu Jinyuan's eyes, but pretended not to see it. She stretched out her little finger to hook Liu Jinyuan's pinky finger, and shook it gently, just like when they were children.

"Why are you distracted? I'm asking you a question."

"Nothing, I was just a little tired and talking nonsense. By the way, sister, there is a person who is a good friend of ours regardless of status. Maybe he can help you recover your memory. Do you want to meet him?"

Liu Jinyuan didn't believe that there was an impenetrable wall in the world. If it was really a disguise, she and Ye Cheng were so close that she could quickly detect any slight emotional changes between them. She thought, why not bring Ye Cheng here to test him.

In the evening, Liu Jinyuan was sitting beside the bed, holding a bowl of salty porridge with lean meat and feeding it to Yang Liu mouthful by mouthful. Yang Liu wanted to do it herself, but she refused with the reason that "you are in poor health now and it is easy for you to fall". Seeing that Liu Jinyuan insisted, Yang Liu didn't make a fuss and just calmly became a machine that only knew how to open its mouth to chew and swallow.

"Your Majesty, Commander Ye is here."

Ye Cheng was led to the bedroom. Yang Liu looked in the direction of the voice and saw his mean look with a confused and puzzled expression.

"Jin Yuan, I don't remember him being my only new friend in all these years?" She looked extremely puzzled, and even sounded a little unbelievable.
