Chapter 185: Fake Princess

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As the two cubs savored the succulent orange-infused duck breast, the live-stream comments initially filled with adoration for their cuteness were swiftly overshadowed by praises for the delectable dish.

[The tender and velvety duck meat pairs perfectly with the fragrant orange juice!]

[I’m absolutely loving this sauce!]

[The refreshing aroma of orange juice has infused into the duck breast. Such a delightful flavor!]

[I’d love to try this sauce on steak!]

[This sauce will undoubtedly enhance the taste!]

“Thank you all for appreciating today’s sweet orange duck breast. Until next time!”

After concluding the live-stream, Liao Ning and Zhou Ling proceeded to prepare dinner for the family, with Olift lending a helping hand.

Once satiated, Liao Ning took a shower and sought out Zhou Ling in his study, where he was still engrossed in processing documents.

Liao Ning knocked on the study door, receiving permission to enter before proceeding. “Ling, I need to talk to you about something.”

“What’s the matter?” Zhou Ling set aside the document he had been reviewing, focusing his attention on Liao Ning with a serious expression.

“It’s regarding the recent accusations of plagiarism against me. Even though those individuals eventually apologized, I discovered some suspicious details. After distancing myself from Su MO and conducting my own investigation, I’ve come to realize that Zhu Fei might still be alive.”

A chill crept into Zhou Ling’s gaze. “How can that be? During the B16-star prison incident, Zhu Fei was clearly listed among the deceased released by the alliance. The DNA of each victim was strictly matched. Logically, it’s impossible for a body swap to occur.”

Liao Ning handed a bag containing documents to Zhou Ling, stating, “This is the evidence that Su MO uncovered. Various indications strongly suggest that this Princess of Dawn from the Empire might actually be Zhu Fei, who was officially declared dead by the alliance!”

Naturally, Su MO was not the one who provided Liao Ning with this clue. It had been sent to her by the system itself after she had proven her innocence. However, Liao Ning chose to attribute it to Su MO, wanting to avoid any unnecessary suspicion.

Zhou Ling carefully examined the document handed to him by Liao Ning. Many of the deductions outlined within seemed logical, leaving people with little choice but to associate Zhu Fei with the Princess of Dawn.

The most crucial clue was the discrepancy in the DNA of the supposed leader whom the interstellar space pirates sought to rescue. It did not match the DNA recorded by the alliance but did align with the DNA documented after the leader’s arrest and imprisonment. This strongly suggested that the so-called interstellar pirate leader was an imposter , and it was highly likely that the empire had orchestrated the rescue mission to save Zhu Fei.

However, why would the empire go to such lengths to save a mere food live-streamer? Could it be that Zhu Fei was, in fact, the long-lost princess of the empire’s royal family?

“Could Zhu Fei truly be the lost princess of the empire?” Zhou Ling gazed at Liao Ning, seeking her insight.

The system had already informed Liao Ning that the true princess had perished long ago, and Zhu Fei was just Zhu Fei. The empire had saved her solely to utilize her expertise in ancient cultural delicacies and combat the control of the mental strength potion over the empire’s citizens. However, Liao Ning couldn’t explicitly reveal this to Zhou Ling since she lacked concrete evidence.

Tactfully, Liao Ning reminded Zhou Ling, “I don’t think so. Perhaps we should

refocus our attention on Zhu Fei’s profession.”

Furrowing his brows, Zhou Ling pondered, “Zhu Fei is an ancient culture live-streamer and the previous champion of a food competition… Champion of the ancient culture food competition, live-streamer…”

After contemplating for a while, Zhou Ling shook his head. He couldn’t discern any significant connection. Why would the empire invest so much effort in saving Zhu Fei?

Liao Ning wasn’t surprised by Zhou Ling’s confusion. After all, without the assistance of the system, she wouldn’t have arrived at the empire’s motives herself. Patiently, she provided Zhou Ling with another hint. “Do you remember the mental strength potion? The Prime Minister has decided to hand over the formula to the Union Government, allowing them to produce it. He is determined to reduce the cost and the selling price of the potion, ensuring that the Union’s citizens won’t suffer from its increasing price.”

“That’s right.” Zhou Ling nodded and waited for Liao Ning to continue..
