Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Yu Niaoniao woke up, she realized that she was in the carriage.

The carriage was moving, and even she swayed a little.

She rubbed her temples and tried to remember what had happened before she fell asleep.

Soon, she remembered that she had been brought to a guest house by Xiao Juan. Xiao Juan said that he wanted to help her find a doctor, but from the looks of it, he was clearly lying.

The reason why she suddenly felt dizzy and fell asleep was probably because of Xiao Juan.

She trusted him so much and was defenseless against him. It was a very simple matter for him to put some knockout powder in her food. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑐𝑜𝘮

But why did he do it?

Where is he now?

Yu Niaoniao placed one hand on the ground and pulled open the curtain in front. She saw Pan Dafu sitting on the shaft.

Pan Dafu was driving when he heard a commotion behind him. He quickly turned around and glanced at her. “Teacher, you’re awake!”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “Where’s Duke Lang?”

Pan was vague. “He has something to do. He wants us to leave first.” Yu Niaoniao asked, “What is he going to do? Why didn’t he bring me along?”

“I don’t know about that. Anyway, Duke Lang said he’ll be back soon. Don’t worry. He’ll come to us when he’s done.”

Yu Niaoniao was not so optimistic.

With her understanding of Xiao Juan, he would not abandon her unless he had no choice.

He was definitely going to do something very dangerous!

Yu Niaoniao recalled what Xiao Juan had said to her before he left.

He was going to finish what she wanted to do and couldn’t.

Yu Niaoniao’s heart skipped a beat. “That idiot, don’t tell me he wants…”

Could it be that he wanted to kill the emperor to avenge her parents?

Pan Dafu was still nagging.

“Before His Highness left, he specially instructed me to send you to Liaodong safely. The money and dry food are all prepared and placed in the car. If you’re hungry, you can take them out at any time…”

Yu Niaoniao interrupted him. “Stop the car!”

Pan Dafu did not understand. “Why are we stopping? We’re still a long way from the next stop.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I want to return to the Imperial Capital. Stop the carriage and let me down!”

“But the Duke Lang said that he must send you to Liaodong. He must have his reasons for arranging this. Don’t do anything rash.”

Yu Niaoniao said loudly, “If you don’t stop the carriage, I’m going to jump out!”

Pan Dafu was in a difficult position. “Don’t be like this. I won’t be able to explain it to the Duke Lang later.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a thud behind him!

It was as if something had hit the ground.

Pan Dafu hurriedly turned around and saw that Yu Niaoniao had really jumped out of the carriage!

She fell to the ground. It looked like it hurt badly, but without a word, she quickly got up and limped back.

Pan Dafu could only stop the car and chase after him. “Teacher, where are you hurt? Did you sprain your ankle? I’ll take you to a doctor now.”

Yu Niaoniao turned a deaf ear to his words. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she continued walking.

Seeing that her forehead was sweating from the pain, Pan Dafu was anxious, but he could not do anything to her. In the end, he could only compromise.

“Alright, I’ll take you back.”

Hearing this, Yu Niaoniao immediately stopped and looked straight at him. “Would you keep your word?”

Pan Dafu let out a long sigh. “Definitely.”

Only then did Yu Niaoniao obediently return to the carriage.

Pan Dafu steered the carriage around and led her back the way they had come.

In the bedroom, the old emperor had another nightmare.

He dreamed that his secret had been exposed in public. Everyone in the world knew that he was not from the orthodox line of the royal family.

He was stripped of his dragon robe and condemned.

He wanted to defend himself, but no one listened to him.

He was forced into a corner. In his despair, he suddenly woke up from a nightmare.

In the warm yellow candlelight, he saw the interior of the bedchamber clearly and knew that he was still the emperor. Nothing in his dream had happened.

He heaved a sigh of relief. He felt a dry cough in his throat and opened his mouth to make a weak sound.

“Water…’

The door was pushed open and a eunuch walked in.

He knelt on one knee at the bed and raised the tray with both hands. There were teacups on it.

The old emperor turned to the side with difficulty.

From this angle, he could not see the eunuch’s face.

But the old emperor still recognized at a glance that this person was not Wei Huai’en.

The old emperor asked, “Where’s the Huai’en?”

“Eunuch Wei has something on and will leave for a while. I’ll serve His Majesty for the time being.”

When the old emperor heard this familiar voice, his eyes immediately widened and he shouted in shock, “You’re Xiao Juan!”

The eunuch looked up, his cold face revealed in the candlelight.

It was Duke Lang, Xiao Juan!

He looked at the old emperor darkly. ‘Your Majesty, long time no see. How have you been?”

Alarm bells rang in the old emperor’s heart. He raised his hand to pull the ribbon hanging at the head of the bed. As long as the ribbon was pulled, the copper bell would ring. The secret guards would know that the emperor was in danger and immediately rush in to protect the emperor!

However, before he could touch the ribbon, his hand was stopped by Xiao Juan.

Xiao Juan brought the teacup to his mouth. “Isn’t Your Majesty thirsty? This is tea specially made for you. Please drink.”

The old emperor opened his mouth to shout for help.

However, just as he opened his mouth, Xiao Juan grabbed his chin and forced the entire cup of tea into him.

The old emperor struggled desperately to resist.

However, his strength was useless to Xiao Juan.

After he finished his tea, his already weak body became even weaker. His limbs were so sore that he could not even raise a finger. What was worse was that he could not make a sound in his throat!

No matter how hard he tried, he could not say a word!

Xiao Juan put down his empty teacup and looked down at the old emperor lying on the bed.

He still remembered that he was only eight years old when he was brought to the palace and saw the emperor for the first time. At that time, the emperor was in his prime and in high spirits.

He had to look up to see the emperor’s face.

Not only had the emperor given him a place to stay, but he had also ordered someone to teach him how to read and write and how to ride and shoot. He was grateful to the emperor from the bottom of his heart.

In order to repay him for raising him, he was willing to be the knife in the emperor’s hand and be condemned by everyone. Today, this saber was out of his control.

It stabbed at the emperor himself.

Xiao Juan said slowly, “Your Majesty, do you remember what you said to me the day you handed the Justice Department to me?”

He looked at the old emperor’s stricken face and his lips curled. “After so many years, I’m sure you’ve forgotten, but I still remember.”

“You told me then that justice and the preservation of the law were the meaning of the existence of the Justice Department.”

“No matter who it is, as long as they break the law, they will be punished.” The old emperor remembered. He had indeed said those words back then.

However, that was because he suspected that someone from the royal family had ill intentions. He was afraid that Xiao Juan would not dare to attack those royal relatives, so he said those words.

Xiao Juan pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and pressed the tip of it against the old emperor’s neck.

“You’ve killed so many people.. Did you ever think that you would be punished one day?”
