They returned to the Langjun Imperial Palace in the evening.

Yu Niaoniao felt that the misunderstanding had been resolved. Xiao Juan probably would not sleep in separate rooms with her tonight.

However, after dinner, he went to the study again.

Yu Niaoniao was immediately furious and ran to knock on the door angrily.

Xiao Juan had just opened the box and saw a set of bookmarks inside.

A cute cartoon figure was drawn on each bookmark.

It was obvious that this was Niaoniao’s doing.

Xiao Juan thought of the scene when Niaoniao made these bookmarks. The corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, and his expression softened.

At this moment, the voice that represented rationality sounded in his mind and said, “Wake up! She made these bookmarks to please you. She wants you to help find out the truth about the Feng family’s destruction. She’s using you. Don’t fall for her trap!”

The smile on Xiao Juan’s face faded slightly.

But his gaze on the bookmark was still affectionate.

Even if it was to use him, it didn’t matter.

As long as it was something she wanted to do, he would do his best to help her.

Knock knock knock!

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. Xiao Juan immediately stopped smiling and placed the bookmark back into the box.

He walked over and opened the door. He sawYu Niaoniao standing outside.

“It’s late. Why are you looking for me?”

Yu Niaoniao said solemnly with a tense face.

“I’ve already made things clear to you. I don’t even know Ye Yin. I’ve never done anything wrong to you. Why are you still throwing a tantrum?”

Xiao Juan said, “I’m not throwing a tantrum.”

Yu Niaoniao did not believe him. “If you’re not throwing a tantrum, why are you sleeping in the study?”

Xiao Juan lowered his eyes and said softly.

“Because I know my limits.”

She didn’t like him, so he naturally had to keep a distance from her.

Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “What limits?”

Xiao Juan did not answer.

There were some things that it was enough for everyone to know. If he had to make it clear, it would embarrass both parties.

Xiao Juan forcefully changed the topic.

“Didn’t you want to go to Liangzhou? I’ll agree to it.”

The surprise came too quickly. Yu Niaoniao could not help but be stunned. The series of questions she had prepared were also stuck in her throat.

Xiao Juan continued, “We’re preparing to set off in three days. It’s a long journey to Liangzhou this time, and the weather in Liangzhou is very different from the Imperial Capital. Remember to bring more winter clothes.”

Yu Niaoniao nodded in agreement.

“It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”

With that, he closed the door.

Yu Niaoniao looked at the closed door and finally came back to her senses.

Wasn’t she here to ask Xiao Juan about it?

But in the end, she didn’t get anything out of him!

He was fooling her again!

Yu Niaoniao raised her hand and wanted to knock again, but when she thought of Xiao Juan dodging, her raised hand fell again.

Initially, she thought that the conflict between her and Xiao Juan came from Ye Yin.

As long as she explained clearly, everything would be fine.

The result was completely different from what she had expected.

Xiao Juan was still avoiding her. He didn’t even want to discuss the problem between them. Every time she mentioned this, he would change the topic.

On second thought, perhaps the problem between them had nothing to do with outsiders at all.

From the beginning, she approached Xiao Juan with a motive. Xiao Juan happened to have an extremely sensitive personality. Once he realized that he had been deceived, it would be difficult for him to trust her again. All their present problems resulted from this.

Trust was something that could not be re-established with just a few pleasant words.

Even if she knocked on the study door tonight and forcefully brought Xiao Juan back to the bedroom, the problem between them would still exist.

If she wanted to really solve the problem, she still had to rely on practical actions.

Yu Niaoniao let out a long sigh. There was still a long way to go!

She returned to the bedroom. Instead of sleeping directly, she took out her pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. She began writing her revival plan for Qirui Opera Troupe in the dim candlelight.

There were only three days left. She had to write the plan as soon as possible so that she could trick Wei Liao into… oh, no, get the sponsorship from him.

This way, even if she was not in the Imperial Capital for a long time, Qirui Opera Troupe would be able to obtain enough money to successfully bring Prince of Lang, Liaodong, to the stage.

At the same time, an uninvited guest arrived at Wei Liao’s house.

This person was wearing a wide black cloak, and his entire face was hidden under the hood. Behind him were four guards.

When he took off his hood and looked up, Wei Liao finally saw his face clearly and couldn’t help but look surprised.

“Father, why are you here?”

The person who came was Wei Huai’en, the eunuch beside the emperor.

Due to his identity, Wei Huai’en rarely left the palace. Usually, if he had any instructions, he would send someone to convey them to Wei Liao.

He had actually come personally tonight, which really shocked Wei Liao.

Wei Huai’en waved his hand.

The guards understood and silently retreated. They guarded the door and forbade irrelevant people from approaching.

Wei Huai’en sat down at the head of the table and spoke slowly.

“You should have heard Duke Lang is about to leave for Liangzhou, right?”

Wei Liao nodded. “Yes, I heard that Princess Ni Yang’s birthday is coming soon. Duke Lang is going back to congratulate her.”

Wei Huai’en said, “Princess Ni Yang celebrates her birthday every year. Why is it only this year that the emperor asked Duke Lang to go back and congratulate

Wei Liao said respectfully, “I don’t know. I hope Father can enlighten me.”

“Recently, the Justice Department has been investigating a corruption case. The dirty money involved is eight million taels. Now that this dirty money is missing, it must not be a coincidence that Duke Lang is going to Liangzhou at this time.”

Wei Liao understood. “Are you suspecting that the dirty money is hidden in Liangzhou?”

Wei Huai’en did not give a positive answer.

“This is just a guess. The truth remains to be confirmed. I’m telling you these things because I want you to have an idea. When you go to Liangzhou, you’ll have a rough goal and won’t be led by the nose.”

Wei Liao was puzzled. “Do I have to go to Liangzhou too?”

“Yes, this is the emperor’s idea. He’s worried about Duke Lang and wants you to follow him to Liangzhou.”

At this point, Wei Huai’en took out a secret order and placed it in front of Wei Liao.

“This is a secret order given by the emperor. Keep it well. If Duke Lang and Princess Ni Yang have any ill intentions, you can act first and report later.”

Wei Liao’s heart skipped a beat.

He took the secret order with both hands and carefully put it away.

Wei Liao could not help but ask, “I don’t understand. If the emperor doesn’t trust Duke Lang, why did he send him to Liangzhou?”

There were so many people in the court. The emperor could choose anyone to go to Liangzhou. There was really no need to go through so much trouble.

Wei Huai’en only said four words indifferently.

“The heart is unpredictable.”

He stood up and prepared to leave. Before he left, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Wei Liao.

“I heard that you’ve been very close to the Princess of Lang County recently?”

Wei Liao smiled. “Yes, she’s quite interesting.”

Wei Huai’en said, “Don’t forget what I told you before. Stay away from Duke

Lang.”

“I understand what you mean. Don’t worry. My approach to the Princess Consort would only make Duke Lang hate and wary of me even more. And isn’t that what that person wants to see?”

Although he did not name the person, it was implicit who “that person” was.

Wei Huai En did not say anything else. He pulled up his hood and returned to the palace under the escort of his guards..
