Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As soon as Yu Niaoniao saw Wei Liao, she cursed her bad luck. Why did she have to meet him?!

She turned and ran back, only to see the group of Imperial Guards coming after her.

She was caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. She was in a real dilemma.

Wei Liao also noticed the Imperial Guards rushing over.

A playful smile appeared on his face. “What have you done to attract so many people?”

Yu Niaoniao weighed the pros and cons in her heart. There were many Imperial Guards, but Wei Liao was alone. In comparison, Wei Liao was easier to deal with.

So she made a prompt decision and pushed Wei Liao hard, causing him to take two steps back.

And she took two steps forward.

They ducked into the corner.

There were trees to the side as cover. As long as they didn’t get close, the guards couldn’t see them.

However, Wei Liao did not want her to get what she wanted.

He deliberately said, “Tsk tsk, what are you doing? Do you want me to cover up for you? Then you’re thinking too much. I’m deeply indebted to the emperor.

I’ll never do anything to cover up for a suspect.”

With that, he pretended to call the Imperial Guards over.

Yu Niaoniao pressed one hand on his chest and raised the other, revealing the small crossbow hidden in her wide sleeve.

She aimed the arrow at Wei Liao’s neck and whispered.

“If you move, I’ll kill you.”

Wei Liao narrowed his eyes. “This thing is very dangerous. If you’re not careful, you’ll hurt yourself.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked. He grabbed her right wrist and wrenched it out. With his other hand, he grabbed her neck and pressed her against the wall.

Yu Niaoniao’s back hurt.

She had no martial arts, so even if she had a weapon, she was no match for Wei Liao. Moreover, her original intention was not to kill Wei Liao.

If acting tough didn’t work, she could only use the soft approach.

Yu Niaoniao endured the pain and spoke with difficulty.

“Don’t you want to know who Master Wang at the Village Entrance is? I know him. I can tell you his identity, but you have to promise me one thing.”

Hearing this, Wei Liao relaxed his grip slightly.

He asked skeptically, “Why should I believe you?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I have Master Wang’s draft. He gave it to me. It’s at my house. I can show it to you.”

Seeing how confident she was, Wei Liao couldn’t help but believe her.

“What if you can’t produce the draft if I follow you to the Langjun Imperial

Palace?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I can write a contract. If I can’t take out the draft, I’ll let you do whatever you want!”

Seeing that she had even said such a thing, Wei Liao was finally willing to let go of her.

He raised his hand to pull out the golden hairpin on Yu Niaoniao’s head and waved it in front of her.

“If you can’t take out the draft, I’ll sell your golden hairpin. At the same time,

I’ll tell everyone in the Imperial Capital that you gave me this golden hairpin. As for what others will think of your relationship with me, that’s none of my business. ”

Yu Niaoniao rubbed her neck and cursed inwardly. This person was really cunning!

Wei Liao put away the golden hairpin. “Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Escort me back to the Langjun Imperial Palace.”

Coincidentally, Wei Liao was going back with her to get the draft. Hearing this, he agreed without thinking.

“Deal! ”

At this moment, the Imperial Guards were very close. If they came a little closer, they would be able to see the two of them.

Wei Liao tidied up his appearance and strode out from the corner. He deliberately looked curious when he saw the Imperial Guards.

“What are so many of you doing?”

The leadinglmperial Guard replied, “The Princess Consort of Lang County had a hysteria attack and has gone somewhere. The Empress Dowager ordered us to find her as soon as possible. I wonder if Vice General Wei has seen the Princess Consort of Lang County?

Wei Liao was very surprised. “There’s actually such a thing? No wonder I saw her in a hurry just now, as if she was hiding from someone.”

The Imperial Guard hurriedly asked, “You’ve seen the Princess Consort of Lang County? Where is she?”

Wei Liao raised his chin in the other direction.

“I saw her run that way. If you chase her now, you might still be able to catch up.”

“Thank you, Vice General Wei!”

The Imperial Guards immediately chased after Wei Liao.

After a while, they disappeared.

Wei Liao turned to Yu Niaoniao and said.

“Stop hiding. They’re gone.”

Yu Niaoniao carefully stuck her head out. After confirming that they were gone, she mustered her courage and walked out.

Wei Liao looked her up and down. “They said you were suffering from hysteria.

Are you really sick?”

Yu Niaoniao rolled her eyes at him.

“You’re the sick one. Your entire family is sick!”

Not only was Wei Liao not angry, he even smiled.

“How dare you argue with me at a time like this? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you out now?”

Yu Niaoniao obediently shut her mouth.

Now that she had a favor to ask, she would endure it for the time being. She would slowly settle her personal grudges in the future. Seeing that she had become obedient, Wei Liao was very satisfied.

“You’re fine like this. Please keep it up.” Yu Niaoniao urged, “Cut the crap and leave.”

Wei Liao narrowed his eyes. “Say that again.”

Yu Niaoniao took a deep breath and smiled ingratiatingly.

“Young Master Wei, as the saying goes, time is precious. Your time is more precious than gold. How can you waste it casually? Let’s set off quickly while the sun is shining.”

Wei Liao smiled in satisfaction. ‘Very good. Let’s go now.”

As soon as he turned around, Yu Niaoniao immediately stopped smiling and made a face at his back.

As if there were eyes behind his head, Wei Liao suddenly turned around! Yu Niaoniao quickly put away her funny face and smiled like a lackey. “Does Young Master Wei have any other instructions?”

Wei Liao looked at her but didn’t see anything wrong, so he turned back.

Yu Niaoniao was afraid that he would turn around again. This time, she became obedient and did not cause trouble again.

Wei Liao was very familiar with the terrain of the palace.

With him leading the way, Yu Niaoniao successfully avoided all the Imperial Guards and arrived near the palace gate.

Wei Liao found a set of eunuch clothes for Yu Niaoniao to change into.

She disguised herself as a young eunuch and followed Wei Liao with her head lowered.

As the two of them passed by the palace gate, the guard guarding the door suddenly stopped them and asked.

“Which palace is this eunuch from? Why are you leaving the palace? Please show me your waist token.”

Yu Niaoniao took off her waist token and handed it over. She deliberately pinched her throat and spoke.

“I’m from the Internal Affairs Division. I’m under Eunuch Wei’s orders to buy some daily necessities for Young Master Wei.”

Everyone in the palace knew that Wei Liao was Wei Huai’en’s godson. Although Wei Huai’en was in the palace, he would often send someone to contact Wei

Huai’en.

Therefore, the guards guarding the door did not suspect much. After confirming that there was no problem with the waist token, they let her through.

Yu Niaoniao lowered her head the entire time. She was so nervous that she did not even dare to breathe.

It was only after leaving the palace and being completely out of the guards’ sight, that Yu Niaoniao dared to look up and let out a long breath.

She had finally escaped!
