Meng Xizhou rushed out of the Heavenly Oriole Garden.
He strode up to Xiao Juan and cupped his fists.
“Your Highness, I couldn’t find the Princess Consort in the theater. The opera troupe said that the Princess Consort had already left the theater.”
Xiao Juan could not help but frown. “Since she left here long ago, why didn’t you see her go home? Did she leave the theater alone?”
Meng Xizhou’s expression became complicated.
“The staff in the theater saw the Princess Consort leave with Wei Liao. The two of them seemed to have discussed where they were going, but I don’t know where it was.”
Xiao Juan frowned even more.
Wei Liao was not a simple person. Niaoniao would probably suffer if she stayed with him.
Xiao Juan immediately gave the order to let the spies in the city investigate the whereabouts of Yu Niaoniao and Wei Liao.
Soon, the Eagle Guards sent the results.
Meng Xizhou’s expression became even more complicated. “Someone saw the
Princess Consort and Wei Liao go to Mistwater Alley together.”
Everyone in the Imperial Capital knew what Mistwater Alley was.
Any girl from a good family would stay far away from such a place.
But now, Yu Niaoniao had actually gone to that kind of place with Wei Liao.
The man had gone to Mistwater Alley to have fun. What could a woman like her
It was really puzzling.
Xiao Juan did not think too much about it and immediately ordered.
“To Mistwater Alley,”
In Green Garden’s private room.
The brisk and lively sound of the piano sounded again.
Yu Niaoniao skipped around as she shouted the beat.
Wei Liao imitated her movements and did exercises with her. He had a lifeless face the entire time as if the entire world had turned gray.
Don’t ask him how he was feeling.
He regretted asking her to dance. He especially regretted it!
When he stepped into Mistwater Alley with Yu Niaoniao, he had never dreamed that he would welcome the most embarrassing moment of his life tonight.
He even began to ponder about life…
“Who am I?”
“Where am I?”
“What am I doing?”
Yu Shi watched the two of them jump around. Yu Niaoniao was already delicate and cute. Doing these actions did not feel out of place. In fact, she was a little cute.
But Wei Liao was different.
He was tall and burly, with long arms and legs. Coupled with his scowl the entire time, he looked like a big monkey who had been forced to operate.
Yu Shi wanted to laugh, but professionalism told her not to.
She could only purse her lips and endure it.
She did not expect to see such a rare scene tonight. She had profited!
From time to time, Yu Niaoniao would turn to look at Wei Liao. Seeing that he looked like he was about to die, she urged him seriously.
“You have to perk up. You have to feel like a baby eagle preparing to take off. You’ll soon be able to spread your wings and soar. Your body is filled with energy!”
Wei Liao’s lips twitched in a fake smile.
“How long will this dance take?”
At this moment, every moment was torture for him. He was about to collapse.
Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t be anxious. It’s almost over.”
Wei Liao believed her and thought that it was really going to end soon.
In the end, after dancing set after set, it finally ended after a long time.
Yu Niaoniao was panting a little, but she was in good spirits.
She said energetically, “Dance once a day and live to 99! Wei Liao, do you feel relaxed and especially comfortable now?”
Wei Liao slumped in his chair. He was as weak as a broken rag doll.
At this moment, he only had one thought: What could he do to remove the image of him dancing from his mind? He did not want to remember that embarrassing scene again in his life.
Seeing that Wei Liao was ignoring her, Yu Niaoniao could only talk to Yu Shi.
“How do you think I danced just now?”
Yu Shi thought for a long time before speaking with difficulty.
“You dance very cutely, making people feel very happy. However, such a dance still lacks a little beauty. I think you can dance more gently. This way, you can show your characteristics as a woman. If you don’t mind, I can dance for you.”
Yu Niaoniao immediately replied, “Sure, sure!”
Yu Shi got up leisurely, walked to the middle of the house, and began to jump.
Even without the accompaniment, she could still accurately grasp the rhythm. Every move was gentle and beautiful, making people want to pity her.
Yu Niaoniao watched intently.
However, Wei Liao’s voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
“Did you dance that dance just now for anyone else?”
Yu Niaoniao turned to look at Wei Liao, who was sitting beside her, and replied truthfully, “No.”
Wei Liao slapped his thigh and cursed inwardly. Why was he so unlucky? So many people had never been poisoned by her dance. Why did he have to be the one?
He suggested sincerely, “In the future if you see someone dying, you can dance for him. There’s no need to doubt your ability. With your dance, even a dead person can be frightened to death by you.”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
She faked a laugh. “Hehe, if you die one day, I’ll definitely dance for you.” Wei Liao said with lingering fear, “Then forget it. Just let me leave this world quietly and don’t let me accept your torture again.”
Yu Niaoniao was about to say something when hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Immediately after, the door of the private room was pushed open and a maidservant ran in and shouted.
“Oh no, Duke Lang has barged in with the Eagle Guards!”
Yu Shi stopped dancing and frowned. “Why are the Eagle Guards here for no reason?”
The maidservant shook her head vigorously. “I don’t know either. They didn’t say anything. After breaking in, they walked around. It looks like they’re looking for someone.”
Wei Liao looked at Yu Niaoniao and smiled when he saw her guilty expression.
“You’re finished.”
If Duke Lang saw her drinking lotus wine here with the Vice General of the Sky Wolf Guards, his reaction would definitely be very exciting.
How could Wei Liao bear to miss such a good show?
Yu Niaoniao forced herself to calm down. She did not panic. She felt that she could still be saved!
She said to Wei Liao, “Leave this place immediately. Don’t let Duke Lang see you.”
Wei Liao refused to move.
He leaned back and crossed his arms, looking pleased with himself.
“1 won’t leave.”
Yu Niaoniao was exasperated. “You’re not leaving, are you? Then I’ll leave!”
With that, she was about to run out when she suddenly remembered that her coat was still on the ground. She hurriedly ran back, picked it up, and put it on.
The maidservant reminded her, “There are all Eagle Guards outside. If you go out, you’ll definitely bump into them.”
Yu Shi looked at Yu Niaoniao and asked tentatively, “Could you be the person the Eagle Guards are looking for?”
Yu Niaoniao smiled awkwardly. “Probably.”
Yu Shi asked, “Don’t tell me the person you want to coax is Duke Lang?”
Yu Niaoniao became even more embarrassed. “Yes.”
Yu Shi pursed her lips and smiled. “He personally brought people to look for you. He must value you very much. Since you’re willing, why don’t you seize this opportunity?”
Yu Niaoniao was stunned. “Huh?”
Yu Shi leaned over and whispered in her ear..
