Chapter 541 - 541: Unsettled



Yu Niaoniao jumped back. “Aiya, why is it such a big gift?”

Xiao Juan said, “Because you’re worth it.”

Yu Niaoniao pursed her lips and smiled, pretending to sigh helplessly.

“Alright, alright. Seeing that you’re so sincere, I’ll be merciful and tell you.” Xiao Juan looked up at her and waited quietly for her answer.

Yu Niaoniao placed her hands behind her back and bent down to him.

“You’re too stupid. You’ve clearly done so many good things. Not only did no one appreciate it, but someone even took credit.”

“I just want to help you clear your name so that everyone can recognize the real you.”

Xiao Juan said, “Is that all?”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “What else?”

Xiao Juan did not know what to say.

Granny Xiu Yan walked in and was about to speak when she saw Duke Lang Imeeling on one knee and looking up at the Princess Consort standing in front of him. The Princess Consort bent down.

The two of them were extremely close, as if they would kiss at any moment.

This scene was too charming.

Granny Xiu Yan was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her eyes with her hand.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I came at the wrong time. I didn’t see anything. I’ll leave now. Please continue.”

With that, she turned to leave.

Yu Niaoniao quickly stopped her. “We were just talking. It’s not as complicated as you think.”

Granny Xiu Yan lowered her hand and looked at them skeptically.

“If you were just talking, was there a need for His Highness to kneel?”

“Well, it’s because there’s a little dust on my shoes. He was helping me to wipe it off.”

As Yu Niaoniao spoke, she pulled Xiao Juan up.

“Your Highness, don’t you agree?”

Xiao Juan did not answer. He looked at Granny Xiu Yan and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Only then did Granny Xiu Yan remember her intentions. She hurriedly said, “Dinner is ready. I’m here to remind you that it’s time to eat.”

Xiao Juan said, “Yes, it’s time to eat.”

With that, he pulled Yu Niaoniao out.

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly followed.

The small interlude just now was hurriedly accounted for by Xiao Juan.

Lo Pingsha was originally a little worried that Duke Lang would be dissatisfied with the Princess Consort opening the theater without permission. When they were eating, he saw that the couple was harmonious and did not seem to be having a conflict. He could finally relax.

After dinner, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan returned to their room to rest.

Xiao Juan changed the dressing for Niaoniao as usual.

Yu Niaoniao consciously took off her clothes and sat on the bed, letting Xiao Juan apply medicine for her.

In the past, she would still blush shyly. After a few times, she would get used to it.

Because she knew that Xiao Juan was a gentleman. In the past, when she took the initiative to snuggle into his arms, he could sit still. Now, he naturally would not take the opportunity to take advantage of her.

However, what she did not know was that Xiao Juan was a little distracted.

Previously, he thought that Niaoniao had no feelings for him, so he tried his best to control himself and not have improper thoughts about her.

But it was different now.

He already knew how Niaoniao felt about him. She had sacrificed so much silently, so she must have feelings for him.

Since they were willing, there was naturally no need to worry so much.

Xiao Juan gently spread the ointment on Yu Niaoniao’s skin.

He looked down at her fair and beautiful back and couldn’t help but lower his head, wanting to kiss her.

However, ne Still nela It ln.

After applying the medicine, Xiao Juan got up to wash his hands.

When he returned, he saw that Niaoniao had already put on her clothes and lay down.

Xiao Juan lifted the blanket and lay down. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist. He leaned over and called out.

“Niaoniao. ”

His voice was low and hoarse, making him even sexier than usual.

Yu Niaoniao did not think too much about it.

She adjusted her posture slightly and leaned into Xiao Juan’s arms at the most comfortable angle.

“Why did you call me?”

Xiao Juan wanted to ask her if she wanted to consummate the marriage, but the restrained personality he had developed over the years made him unable to say such explicit words.

He silently simmered in his heart for a long time before speaking.

“Didn’t you want to consummate the marriage previously? I think we can try tonight. What do you think?”

He waited for a long time, but there was no response.

Xiao Juan could not help but look down, only to see that Niaoniao had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep.

He could only sigh.

Previously, when Niaoniao took the initiative to throw herself at him, he pushed her away again and again.

Now that he wanted it, she might not be willing.

This was probably retribution.

Because the old emperor was bedridden and could not attend the morning court session, the memorials of the ministers were sent to the cabinet and handed over to the elders to discuss and resolve.

Crown Prince Shen Zhuo would also participate in the discussion, but because he was still young and inexperienced, he could only listen most of the time and rarely had the chance to express his opinion.

In the past two days, the officials had a total of two goals—

One was Duke Lang, Xiao Juan. The officials suspected that Duke Lang had ordered people to arrange Duke Lang in Liaodong to improve his reputation. This move was akin to fishing for fame.

The other was Crown Prince Shen Zhuo.

Regardless of the motive for the appearance of Duke Lang in Liaodong, its description was basically true.

Outsiders might not know, but many officials in the court knew very well that the person who had escorted Prince Min to Liaodong County was Duke Lang.

At that time, Shen Zhuo was only an unknown prince. He was not even qualified to enter the palace to meet the emperor. What right did he have to order Duke Lang to do so many things? This did not make sense at all!

However, since the emperor insisted on giving Shen Zhuo the credit for Liaodong County, no one could say anything and could only pretend to be oblivious.

Now that Duke Lang in Liaodong was popular in the capital, its content completely restored what Duke Lang had done in Liaodong County.

This was equivalent to telling the world that the Crown Prince had faked his contribution!

The officials naturally could not let this go.

They wrote about this matter in the memorial and strongly requested the Crown Prince to give an explanation!

Shen Zhuo was already mentally prepared for this.

He looked at the troubled expressions of the elders and said calmly.

“I was wrong this time. Tomorrow, I will take the initiative to admit my mistake in front of the civil and military officials and apologize to Duke Lang in public.”

Regarding this, the elders were naturally very relieved.

They praised him one after another.

“Your Highness is really magnanimous. It’s really the blessing of the country!”

Soon, this matter reached the old emperor’s ears.

He ordered someone to summon Xiao Juan to the palace.

Shen Zhuo hurriedly said, “Father, at this point, there’s no need to make things difficult for Duke Lang. After all, he didn’t do anything wrong. It’s all my fault.”

With that, he knelt down and pressed his forehead to the ground.

The more he was like this, the more the old emperor pitied him.

“It was my idea to let you replace Xiao Juan. What has it got to do with you? I know you’re kind, but you don’t have to take all the blame. I can differentiate between right and wrong..”
