Chapter 590: Bad Outcome

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

No matter how hard Lo Pingsha racked his brains, he could not think of a suitable solution for the time being.

Now there was only one way in front of him—

They would do as Yu Niaoniao said. They would find Duke Lang as soon as possible and let him come back to save her.

Yu Niaoniao took the cloak from Grannv Xiu Yan and Dut it on herself.

Seeing that everyone’s expressions were ugly, she smiled gently and pretended to be relaxed as she teased, “Why are you all crying? I’m just going to the palace to meet the emperor. I might be back soon. Don’t forget to leave me some food for supper.”

Granny Xiu Yan smiled reluctantly. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely save some food and drinks for you. I guarantee that you won’t starve.”

“Then I’m relieved.”

As Yu Niaoniao spoke, she walked towards the door.

The night was cold and a cold wind blew.

She suddenly felt some ice on her face. She looked up and realized that it was snowing.

At that moment, Lo Pingsha caught up quickly.

He handed over an oil-paper umbrella.

“Princess Consort, be careful. You must protect yourself. We’ll save you as soon as possible. ”

Yu Niaoniao opened the oil-paper umbrella to cover the falling snow.

She said softly, “When you see Duke Lang, tell him for me that I’m very lucky to be able to marry him in this life!”

Lo Pingsha’s eyes stung. “When you see him, tell him this yourself.”

Yu Niaoniao smiled. “I hope there’s still such a chance.”

Lo Pingsha’s voice became choked. “Princess Consort…’

Yu Niaoniao sighed, feeling extremely reluctant, but she still spoke calmly.

“You’ve followed Duke Lang for so many years and have always been loyal. I believe you don’t want him to be in danger.

“When you see Duke Lang, don’t mention me. In the future, when he brings you to Liaodong, take root there and never return to the Imperial Capital.”

This was the best choice for Xiao Juan and the others.

Lo Pingsha shook his head. “No…”

Yu Niaoniao continued to persuade him.

“It’s fine if it’s just me and Duke Lang, but there are so many people. Think about the old Granny Xiu Yan and the young Ling Hai. They can’t withstand this back and forth. The best solution is to find them a place to stay as soon as possible.”

Lo Pingsha looked at her. “What about you? What will you do?”

Yu Niaoniao smiled.

“I can only do my best and leave it to fate! ”

She turned to leave with the oil-paper umbrella.

Lo Pingsha could only stand and watch her go.

The black night sky and the white snowflakes seemed to form a scene in a thick ink painting.

The painting was empty. Only Yu Niaoniao’s back was real.

Yu Niaoniao walked out of the courtyard and saw Wei Liao standing on the steps, as well as nearly a hundred Sky Wolf Guards behind him. Snowflakes fell, causing the torches in their hands to flicker.

The light became dazed.

Yu Niaoniao asked half-jokingly, “What a huge scene! I’m alone. Is there a need for so many people?”

Seeing that she had really come alone, Wei Liao’s emotions were rather complicated.

“We’re all under orders.”

In other words, he had no choice.

Yu Niaoniao smiled briskly. “I know. Fortunately, you came tonight. We’re so familiar with each other and can still talk on the way. If it were anyone else, I would have suffocated to death along the way.”

She looked too relaxed as if she was going on an outing. Wei Liao couldn’t help

but ask.

“Aren’t you afraid?”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “What am I afraid of?”

Wei Liao said, “Xiao Juan is not in the Imperial Capital now. If anything happens to you, no one can protect you.”

He thought that if Yu Niaoniao was willing to beg him, he might be willing to take the risk to help her.

Yu Niaoniao was very optimistic.

“I’m going to see the emperor. What can happen? Can the dignified Son of

Heaven make things difficult for a little girl like me?”

Wei Liao sneered. “The toughest feature on you is your mouth.”

He asked someone to bring the horses.

Yu Niaoniao mounted her horse and followed the Sky Wolf Guards toward the Imperial Capital.

The winter night was already cold. In addition, the snow was swaying, and the cold seeped into the bones, making the hostage shiver.

Wei Liao turned to look at Yu Niaoniao, who was following behind.

She looked small on the back of a tall horse. Although she was wearing a thick cloak, it was wet because of the increasing snowstorm. Her face was red from the cold.

Wei Liao subconsciously reined in and slowed down.

The others slowed down.

Wei Liao asked Yu Niaoniao.

“Can you still do it?”

He was clearly concerned, but because of his provocative expression, these words sounded more like he was looking for trouble. Yu Niaoniao gathered her cloak with one hand. “I’m fine.”

Wei Liao secretly regretted it.

If he had known it would snow, he would have brought a carriage out of the city.

He deliberately said in a cynical tone, “You’re a woman. You should show weakness when you have to. Don’t force yourself like a man.”

Yu Niaoniao followed his words.

“If I cry now, will you let me go back?”

Wei Liao immediately stopped talking.

Yu Niaoniao chuckled. “Look, showing weakness is useless.”

Wei Liao thought that was not necessarily the case.

If Yu Niaoniao really cried at him, he might really do something irrational.

But he said nothing as if he was tacitly agreeing with Yu Niaoniao.

The group braved the snow and wind through the city gate and walked along the silent street. Finally, they stopped in front of the palace gate.

The Sky Wolf Guards stayed outside the door. Only Wei Liao and Yu Niaoniao walked into the palace.

At this moment, there was already a thin layer of snow on the road.

They walked along the palace path, leaving two sets of footprints behind them.

Yu Niaoniao was thinking about how to deal with the emperor later when she suddenly heard the man beside her ask.

“What’s the background of that charred corpse?”

Yu Niaoniao turned to look at Wei Liao and asked, “Why did you suddenly think of asking this?”

Wei Liao said, “The emperor asked me to go to the Justice Department to look for that charred corpse today, but I didn’t find anything. Then, he asked me to bring you to the palace.”

These words should not have been said to Yu Niaoniao.

But Wei Liao still told her everything.

Yu Niaoniao understood. It seemed that the emperor already knew about the charred corpse.

She was indeed doomed to enter the palace this time.

Seeing that she was silent, Wei Liao had no choice but to reach out and block her way.

“I don’t know what you’ve done in private, but if you want to live now, the only way out is to hand over the charred corpse. You have to remove yourself from this.”

Yu Niaoniao stopped.

She looked steadily at the man in front of her and suddenly smiled.

“Thank you.”

Wei Liao’s heart was in a mess from her smile.

He deliberately looked fierce. “I’m talking to you about serious business. What’s so funny?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I appreciate your kindness, but I can’t turn back anymore.”

From the night Madam Xie and Feng Lianghan were killed, it was impossible for her to be carefree.

Wei Liao asked, “What do you mean?”

Yu Niaoniao did not answer the question. “Doesn’t the emperor have something to ask me? Coincidentally, I have something to ask him too..”
