110 Luring the Snake Out of its Hole
From the looks of it, she would not be able to do anything without snacks. Xiao Juan could only compromise and return the orange to her.
With something to eat, Yu Qianqian immediately perked up. As she ate and worked, her efficiency increased.
She finished both large boxes of books before the sunset. She divided the books into two piles. To her left were books containing anti-government poems, and to her right were regular books with no problems.
Clearly, there were far fewer books on the left.
Xiao Juan looked at the two piles of books and frowned in deep thought.
Not all books contain anti-government poetry.
Which meant the books had just the same titles, but their contents were different.
He pulled another book from each of the two piles, opened it, and compared it carefully. The print was slightly different. The books were probably not from the same printing press.
Xiao Juan closed the book and said in a low voice, “Looks like someone is spreading anti-government poetry under the guise of Prince Min.”
Yu Niaoniao blinked. “Then aren’t you arresting the wrong person?”
Xiao Juan said, “Not necessarily.”
Yu Niaoniao looked at him expectantly, clearly waiting for an explanation.
He explained patiently.
“There are many nobles in the capital, but the mastermind chose Prince Min.
It was probably because Prince Min and his son were of high status and did not have much power. Moreover, they were impulsive.
With just a little provocation, the person behind the scenes would be able to make Prince Min and his son hate him.
“At that time, when Prince Min and I fight, the person behind the scenes will naturally be able to reap the benefits.”
Realization dawned on her. So that was it!
“So what are you going to do about it?”
Now that Xiao Qing had already captured Prince Min and even tortured him to death, the hatred between the two sides had already been formed. It would definitely be very difficult to resolve it.
Xiao Juan replied, “Lure the snake out of its hole.”
Yu Niaoniao stroked her chin. “It seems to be going to be interesting.”
The sun was sinking toward the west. They took the carriage back to the royal residence.
As soon as the two of them entered, they were greeted by an acquaintance.
In the flower hall, Yu Kangtai kept pacing back and forth, wondering how to speak to Yu Qianqian later.
He had never lowered his head to a junior in his life.
Today was his first time.
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
Yu Kangtai continued to look up and saw Duke Lang and Yu Qianqian walk in.
He hurried forward. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
Xiao Juan knew why the other party had come and felt inexplicably unhappy.
However, the other party was Yu Qianqian’s father after all. At the same time, he was also Xiao Juan’s future father-in-law. Xiao Juan had to give him some respect.
“No need for formalities.”
Xiao Juan sat down at the head of the table and asked calmly.
“What are you doing here?”
Yu Kangtai did not dare to meet the eyes of this notorious King of Hell. He could only lower his head and speak carefully.
“I’m here to fetch Niaoniao home.
I had already heard about it from the Imperial Capital. It was all thanks to the Duke Lang that Niaoniao was able to escape from prison.
Thank you for taking care of her for the past two days.
I can’t thank you enough. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don’t mind.”
With that, he took out a rectangular brocade box and placed it respectfully in front of Duke Lang.
Xiao Tired did not look at the brocade box. Instead, he looked at Yu Niaoniao, who was standing beside him.
“Do you want to go back with your father?”
Yu Niaoniao rejected him without thinking.
“I don’t want to.”
She was living a carefree life in the Langjun Imperial Palace. It was many times more comfortable than staying in the Yu Residence.
How desperate was she to return to the Yu residence?
