Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao woke up at the same time.

The old servant’s voice came from outside the door.

“Young master, someone has something urgent to tell you. They said that they rushed over from the Imperial Capital.”

Xiao Juan let Niaoniao continue sleeping. He put on his clothes and strode out of the bedroom.

He saw the person in the central room. The other party was wearing the clothes of an ordinary citizen. He was actually an Eagle Guard from the Justice Department.

As soon as the Eagle Guard saw Duke Lang appear, he immediately knelt on one knee and took out a secret letter.

“This is a letter Lord Meng asked me to give you.”

Xiao Juan took the secret letter with both hands and quickly opened it. He pulled out a thin letter.

This letter was written by Meng Xizhou. He said that the Crown Prince had planted a trusted aide in the Justice Department and wanted to divide the power in Duke Lang’s hands. It was worth mentioning that this matter had been approved by the old emperor.

In other words, the old emperor and the crown prince were on the same side. They both wanted to squeeze Duke Lang out of the Justice Department.

Meng Xizhou was very indignant. Duke Lang had done so much for the old emperor. After risking his life for so many years, not only had he been reviled, but he even had to give up the Justice Department.

The old emperor was really bullying him!

Meng Xizhou begged anxiously, hoping that Duke Lang would return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible.

The Crown Prince’s trusted aide had just arrived at the Justice Department and his foundation was unstable. If Duke Lang could rush back, he could chase the Crown Prince’s trusted aide out of the Justice Department.

This was not only Meng Xizhou’s hope, but also the hope of all the Eagle Guards.

None of them wanted the Justice Department to fall into the Crown Prince’s hands. They were only loyal to Duke Lang.

Xiao Juan read the contents of the letter and did not react.

He walked to the table and placed the letter on the candle flame.

The letter was ignited. The flames kept jumping and quickly turned to ashes.

The Eagle Guard looked up and said eagerly, “Your Highness, when are we leaving?

Xiao Juan replied indifferently.

“I still have something to do. I can’t go back for the time being.”

The Eagle Guard was shocked and looked at him in disbelief. “But Lord Meng

said that if you don’t go back, the Justice Department will.. ‘

Xiao Juan had already seen through it and said unhurriedly.

“Even if I go back, I can’t change the situation. The Crown Prince had already received the His Majesty’s support; even if I could temporarily keep my power, what about the future? The Crown Prince will ascend the throne sooner or later. ”

He let out a very, very low sigh at the end.

The Eagle Guard was speechless.

This world was still the emperor’s alone.

The Eagle Guard was indignant. “Are we just going to sit around and wait for death?”

The Eagle Guards had followed Duke Lang for many years. They had risked their lives with him and experienced many storms. They were already in the same boat.

If Duke Lang lost his power, his subordinates would definitely not have an easy time.

The best outcome was to be replaced by a newbie and go home to retire. The worst outcome might be death.

The Eagle Guard in front of him was unwilling to accept such an outcome, and so was Meng Xizhou, who was far away in the Imperial Capital.

Xiao Juan naturally did not want these loyal old subordinates to end up miserably.

He immediately wrote a letter and sealed it with wax before handing it to the Eagle Guard.

“Send this to Meng Xizhou and tell him to do as the letter says.”

The Eagle Guard perked up. It seemed that Duke Lang already had a way to deal with it.

He took the secret letter with both hands and carefully pocketed it.

Xiao Juan said, “It will be a while before I return to the Imperial Capital. Go back first.”

The Eagle Guard cupped his fists. “Goodbye!”

He turned around and walked out of the central room, striding out of the Feng residence in the cold wind.

Xiao Juan sat alone in the central room for a while before returning to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered, he saw Niaoniao sitting up in bed.

Yu Niaoniao asked with concern.

“Did something happen in the Imperial Capital?”

Xiao Juan took off his coat and casually placed it on the screen.

“Nothing. Go to sleep. It’s getting late. We still have to set off for Luzhou tomorrow morning.”

He lifted a corner of the blanket and lay down beside Yu Niaoniao.

Yu Niaoniao did not believe him. Her face was tense.

“It must be something important for them to come to you in the middle of the night. Don’t try to fool me.”

Xiao Juan said helplessly, “It’s really nothing serious. I’ve been away from the

Imperial Capital for so long. The Crown Prince was worried that the Justice Department would be leaderless, so he sent someone to help me manage it.”

When Yu Niaoniao heard this, she exploded. She propped up her upper body and said angrily.

“The Crown Prince wants to occupy the Imperial Capital while you’re not around!”

Xiao Juan pulled her into his arms and lifted the blanket to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.

“Not really. After all, he’s the Crown Prince and the future emperor. The entire world is his, let alone a mere Justice Department.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Although that’s the case, you ran the Justice Department single-handedly. You also nurtured the Eagle Guards. He didn’t do anything and wanted to take away your hard work. What right does he have?”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered.

Xiao Juan patted her back to calm her down.

After Yu Niaoniao was angry, she was deeply worried.

“If the Crown Prince treats you like this before he ascends the throne, won’t he skin you alive when he becomes emperor in the future?”

Xiao Juan said, “Didn’t we agree that we would find a place to live in seclusion in the future? If he can’t find us, he naturally can’t do anything to us.” Yu Niaoniao raised her face. “But are you really willing?”

After so much blood, sweat, and infamy, it was not easy for him to obtain his current status.

But he had to give up everything.

To go from a high and mighty duke to a commoner with nothing, any man would feel unbalanced.

Xiao Juan’s gaze was calm as he said slowly.

“The emperor sent someone to bring me to the palace and raised me.

Regardless of his true goal, he had raised me.”

“I’ve risked my life for him for so many years and helped him do so much. It can be considered repayment for raising me.”

“He gave me the title of Duke and the power of the Justice Department. After returning it all to him, I no longer owed him anything. In terms of unwillingness, there might have been in the past, but it has long been worn down.”

Yu Niaoniao could hear an indescribable loneliness in his words. Her heart ached and she could not help but hug Xiao Juan tightly.

“You still have me.”

“Yeah.”

Xiao Juan lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.

In the future, the only person who could make him risk his life would be Niaoniao.

The next morning, Yu Niaoniao and the other three set off from Jinguan City for Luzhou.

They left quietly, without disturbing anyone.

When County Governor Yuan Jin wanted to visit Duke Lang and his wife in the Feng Residence, he was told that they had already left. He could not help but feel extremely regretful. He had missed a great opportunity to build a good relationship with Duke Lang.

Ten days later, Yu Niaoniao and the others successfully arrived at Luzhou.

As the most famous aristocratic family in the area, it didn’t take long to find out where the Deng family lived..
