Chapter 365



Meng Xizhou rushed back to the Langjun Imperial Palace and told Granny Xiu Yan that the Princess Consort of Lang County had disappeared from the palace.

Granny Xiu Yan was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Now that Duke Lang was not in the palace, with her status, it was difficult for her to even enter the palace, let alone ask Noble Consort Shu for him.

In the end, she had no choice but to think of a plan.

“Prepare the carriage. I’m going to the Yu family.”

Meng Xizhou quickly reacted. “You want to ask Yu Kangtai for help?”

Granny Xiu Yan nodded. “Yes, although he doesn’t have a good relationship with the County Princess, he’s still her father. He can’t just watch something happen to her, right?”

Actually, she did not want to look for Yu Kangtai, but she really had no choice now.

She could only risk it to beg Yu Kangtai.

Meng Xizhou hurriedly said, “I’ll go with you.”

They hurried out.

In the end, they bumped into Yu Niaoniao and Wei Liao at the entrance.

The two sides met and were stunned.

Granny Xiu Yan was pleasantly surprised. “Princess Consort! You’re back!”

Meng Xizhou was also extremely excited. He spoke incoherently. “They all said that you were gone. We were worried sick. Fortunately, you’re fine.” Yu Niaoniao said, “Let’s go in and talk.”

Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly replied, “Okay, okay, okay. Let’s go in first.”

They entered the central room.

Yu Niaoniao roughly explained her experience.

Meng Xizhou was furious. “Noble Consort Shu is too arrogant. She dares to harm you in broad daylight.”

Granny Xiu Yan said, “She dared to be so fearless because Duke Lang is not in the capital. When Duke Lang returns, she’ll suffer.” Wei Liao put down his teacup and said slowly.

“I’m afraid your Duke Lang might not be able to return.”

They all looked at him.

Meng Xizhou glared at him. “What nonsense are you talking about? You’re not allowed to curse Duke Lang!”

Yu Niaoniao stared at Wei Liao and asked.

“Do you know something?”

Wei Liao spread his hands. “What can I know? I was just guessing. Noble Consort Shu is not stupid. She must know that Duke Lang won’t let her off when he returns. Since she dares to attack you so openly, it means that she’s confident in ensuring that Duke Lang won’t return.”

Meng Xizhou was unwilling to believe it. “This is all your one-sided story!”

Wei Liao continued, “Haven’t you been investigating Imperial Concubine Yue’s murder? I guess you’ve recently found out about Noble Consort Shu. If she wants to secure her own interests, she’ll definitely make a move.” Yu Niaoniao connected what had happened recently.

Originally, she found it strange. Why did they choose Xiao Juan to escort Princess Tao Ran?

From the looks of it, Noble Consort Shu might have a role in this.

Yu Niaoniao was deep in thought. “Noble Consort Shu first sent Duke Lang away before attacking me. What’s her goal? I’m just a weak woman. What good will it do her to capture me?”

Wei Liao asked, “What do you think?”

Yu Niaoniao’s thoughts raced.

“Noble Consort Shu’s greatest target has always been Duke Lang. She probably attacked me for him because she could threaten him with me...” At this point, she suddenly stood up and her expression turned ugly.

“Duke Lang is in danger!”

Seeing that she was about to rush out, Wei Liao grabbed her arm and reminded her.

“You haven’t shown me the sketch.”

Yu Niaoniao could only endure it and instruct Granny Xiu Yan.

“Go get the draft from my room and get someone to give me a fast horse and dry food. I have to find Duke Lang.”

Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly went to do it.

Yu Niaoniao then said to Meng Xizhou, “Go to the Justice Department and choose a few trustworthy Eagle Guards to support Duke Lang with me.”

Meng Xizhou still had a trace of hope. ‘With Duke Lang’s skills and experience, he must have been on guard long ago. He probably won’t let the Chen Nation’s diplomatic mission and Princess Tao Ran succeed.”

Yu Niaoniao said in a low voice, “But what if Duke Lang finds out that I was captured by Noble Consort Shu? Will he give up resisting to save my life?” Meng Xizhou said, “But you’re fine now.”

“But Duke Lang doesn’t know. He can only take a chance. Do you think he’ll risk betting that I’m fine? Or will he sacrifice himself to ensure my safety?” Meng Xizhou could not answer.

If it were in the past, Duke Lang would definitely not risk his life for others.

But it was different now.

From the way Duke Lang usually interacted with the Princess Consort, it could be seen that he valued her very much. Even if there was a chance that she would be harmed, he would not dare to take the risk.

Yu Niaoniao said, “We have to find Duke Lang as soon as possible and let him know that I’m safe.”

This concerned the safety of Duke Lang. Meng Xizhou did not dare to hesitate anymore and immediately did as Yu Niaoniao instructed.

Yu Niaoniao turned around and saw Wei Liao looking at her with a faint smile.

Although this guy was not a good person, he had indeed helped today. Yu Niaoniao said, “Thank you for today.”

Wei Liao had been disliked since he was young. No one had ever sincerely thanked him.

He did not expect to hear a thank you from Yu Niaoniao. His long eyebrows raised slightly as he reminded her.

“Don’t think you can get away with it just by saying thank you. I still have your golden hairpin. Don’t try to play tricks on me.” Yu Niaoniao rolled her eyes.

She had to be out of her mind to thank him.

Soon, Granny Xiu Yan brought the draft she wanted.

Yu Niaoniao first flipped through the drafts to confirm that there was no signature on them before saying to Wei Liao.

“The drawing is here. Return my golden hairpin.”

Wei Liao took out the golden hairpin from his pocket. “Payment on one hand and delivery on the other.”

“I’d like that.”

They handed over what they were holding at the same time.

Yu Niaoniao held one end of the golden hairpin, but she realized that she could not pull it out no matter what. She could not help but speak.

“Let go.”

Wei Liao pulled the other end of the sketch towards him and said.

“Let go first.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “At a time like this, you still refuse to believe me.”

Wei Liao said, ‘You don’t believe me!”

The two of them looked at each other and understood that their trust in each other was negative. If this stalemate continued, who knew when it would end?

Finally, Yu Niaoniao made a suggestion.

“I’ll count to three, two, and one. When I reach the last count, we’ll let go at the same time.”

Wei Liao agreed.

Yu Niaoniao said, “Then I’ll start counting. Three, two, one!” They released their fingers almost at the same time.

Yu Niaoniao quickly retreated with the golden hairpin.

Wei Liao eagerly flipped through the draft.

These were just the first drafts. They were very scribbled and there were many areas where they had been painted and modified. However, from the composition and line style, it could be seen that these were indeed the manuscripts of Master Wang from the Village Entrance.

It seemed that Yu Niaoniao was not lying. She really knew Master Wang at the Village Entrance!

“Tell me quickly, who is Master Wang at the Village Entrance?”

He waited for an answer.

Wei Liao looked up at Yu Niaoniao, only to see that she had long disappeared..
