98 I Can’t Leave
Yu Niaoniao shook her head without hesitation.
“Thank you for your kindness. I won’t leave.”
Shen Junzhi looked at the girl in front of him and said in an extremely serious tone.
“You probably don’t know what Duke Lang is like. Although he was highly regarded by the emperor, he made enemies everywhere in the court because of his domineering style of doing things. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was now surrounded on all sides by enemies.
He had the emperor’s protection. Those enemies could not touch him for the time being. They would definitely vent their anger on the people around him. You’ll be in danger then. Niaoniao, listen to my advice. Leave Duke Lang and don’t get involved with him again.”
His words were reasonable. He was sincerely planning for her.
Yu Niaoniao was touched, but she refused.
“I can’t leave. I have very important things to finish.”
Shen Junzhi wanted to ask what it was.
However, before he could ask, he heard a cry not far away.
“The Eagle Guards are here!”
Yu Niaoniao hurriedly turned around and saw the Eagle Guards rushing over.
They were wearing black brocade robes and crimson cloaks. They had sabers at their waists and ran over like the wind.
The commoners were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.
They looked terrified as if they were hiding from some ferocious beast.
The Eagle Guards stopped in front of Yu Niaoniao.
Duke Lang dismounted. The Eagle Guards in front of him immediately parted to the left and right to make way for him.
He casually threw the whip to Meng Xizhou and strode to Yu Niaoniao.
He first looked Yu Niaoniao up and down to make sure she was safe before asking.
“Who just sent the signal?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “It’s Yan Nanguan. He went after two suspicious people and told me to stay here.”
Xiao Juan instructed Meng Xizhou.
“Take a few people to Yan Nanguan. Bring those two back to the Justice Department immediately.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Meng Xizhou left in a hurry with a team of Eagle Guards.
While they were talking, Yu Qianqian turned her head to look for Shen Junzhi. However, she saw that there was no one beside her. Shen Junzhi had already disappeared.
She scratched her head and muttered softly.
“Why didn’t you say goodbye before you left?”
Xiao Juan’s hearing was extremely sharp. When he heard that he immediately asked, “Who left?”
“A friend. I’ll introduce you two some other time.”
Yu Niaoniao took the initiative to hold Xiao Juan’s hand and said with a smile.
“Since I’m already here, why don’t you accompany me to the night market? I heard that there’s a restaurant nearby that makes delicious beef pancakes. I want to try them.”
Xiao Juan looked down at the right hand that she was holding.
She wasn’t strong. He could break free easily.
But he didn’t move.
He said calmly, “If you want to eat, you can go alone. You don’t have to bring me.”
The Eagle Guards all looked straight ahead and seemed to be focused, but in fact, their ears were all pricked up as they eavesdropped on the conversation between Duke Lang and Miss Yu.
When they heard what Prince Lang said, they really wanted to rush up and shake him awake.
How could he say that? He was going to be alone forever!
Yu Niaoniao pouted and said coquettishly.
“What’s the point of eating alone? I just want to be with you.”
Xiao Juan asked, “I brought many Eagle Guards. What about them?”
Yu Niaoniao tilted her body and stuck her head out to look behind him. She blinked and asked.
“Where are the Eagle Guards?”
Xiao Juan turned around and saw that there was no one behind him.
The Eagle Guards had long disappeared.
