Chapter 486: Plan Ahead
Translator: Atlas Studios????? Editor: Atlas Studios
Princess Ni Yang looked into her eyes and said meaningfully, “An ordinary family like yours can’t avoid scheming against each other, let alone the royal family.
“So what if they’re sisters? As long as it involves a conflict of interest, they’ll still fall out when it’s time. Don’t you think so?”
Yu Niaoniao said with difficulty, “You’re right. I’ll draw the third installment like how you said.”
Princess Ni Yang smiled in satisfaction.
“I’m looking forward to your new work.”
“Then I’ll go back and prepare to draw the third one now.”
With that, Yu Niaoniao was about to leave when she was stopped by Princess Ni
Yang.
“You don’t have to go back. I have everything here. Draw here.”
Yu Niaoniao was shocked. “Draw here?”
Princess Ni Yang said matter-of-factly, “That’s right. It’s quiet here. Other than me, no one else will come in to disturb you. You can concentrate on writing new books.”
“I’ll be here with you. If you encounter any difficulties in the plot, you can communicate with me. Isn’t that good?”
Yu Niaoniao stopped herself from saying, “Of course not! ”
She was still in a hurry to go back and discuss countermeasures with Xiao Juan and Wei Liao!
Yu Niaoniao racked her brain to find a reason for herself.
“Your environment is indeed very good, but I have a problem. I like to create in a familiar environment.”
“I’ve been here twice and am not familiar with it. If I stay here to compose, I will feel very uncomfortable and it will affect my performance.”
Princess Ni Yang said, “That’s easy. If you stay here for a while longer, you can read the books here and use the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.”
“After a while, you’ll naturally be familiar with this place.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “But…”
Before she could finish, there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of the female official.
“Your Highness, there’s a letter for you.”
Princess Ni Yang said, “Bring it in.”
The door was pushed open and the female official walked in with her head bowed.
She presented a letter with both hands and withdrew.
The door was closed again.
Princess Ni Yang did not evade Yu Niaoniao. She opened the envelope in front of her and took out a letter filled with words.
She read the letter quickly, her red lips curving as she chuckled. “Niaoniao, do you know who sent this letter?”
Yu Niaoniao shook her head to indicate that she did not know.
Princess Ni Yang placed the letter in front of her and gestured for her to read it herself.
Driven by curiosity, Yu Niaoniao picked up the letter.
This letter was sent by the head of the Cheng family. He had already learned that Cheng Qi had attempted to murder Princess Ni Yang. In the letter, he sincerely apologized to Princess Ni Yang and said that Cheng Qi’s death was deserved. The Cheng family would not blame Princess Ni Yang for this.
At the end of the letter, the head of the Cheng family hoped that Princess Ni Yang would let the Cheng family bring Cheng Qi’s body back to his hometown for burial on account of their past relationship.
“Are you willing to return the Prince Consort’s body to the Cheng family?” Princess Ni Yang smiled. “How? I’ve already asked Rouge to eat him. There’s not even any bone left.”
Yu Niaoniao immediately recalled the scene of the big tiger devouring human flesh and could not help but tense up.
“Then how are you going to explain it to the Cheng family?”
Princess Ni Yang said slowly, “Who do they think they are? Why should I answer to them?”
Yu Niaoniao said carefully, “But the Cheng family has a deep foundation in the court. It’s not good for you to offend them.”
Princess Ni Yang did not care about this.
“So what if their foundation is deep? They’re just a group of ants who listen to others. As long as the emperor says something, he can make the Cheng family unable to enter the royal court again. From then on, their foundation will be destroyed and they won’t have a future.”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless and felt even more nervous.
It seemed that Princess Ni Yang had already made up her mind to rebel.
She had even thought about it. When she ascended the throne, she would uproot the Cheng family and prevent future troubles.
Princess Ni Yang took the letter from her hand, casually crumpled it into a ball, and threw it to the ground.
“Alright, don’t be delayed by unimportant people and things. Hurry up and think about how to draw the sequel, okay? I have everything you need. If you need something, I can get someone to find it.”
Yu Niaoniao knew that she would not be able to leave here for a while, so she could only think of a way to stall for time.
“I really can’t draw it for a while. Let me read someone else’s book first. I might be able to find inspiration.”
Princess Ni Yang agreed readily. “Alright, take a look.”
Yu Niaoniao pretended to be looking for books seriously and began to walk back and forth between a few bookshelves.
It took her a moment to pull a book out of it, then she sat down and pretended to read.
Princess Ni Yang also found a book for herself. She sat opposite her and read quietly.
Unknowingly, the morning passed.
Xiao Juan and Wei Liao waited for a long time, but Yu Niaoniao did not return.
They ordered someone to look for Yu Niaoniao, but they were told that Yu Niaoniao had been retained by Princess Ni Yang and would not be back for a while.
Xiao Juan felt very uneasy.
When night fell, he still did not see Niaoniao return.
The uneasiness in Xiao Juan’s heart multiplied.
He was worried that Princess Ni Yang would do something bad to Niaoniao, so he immediately went to look for her personally, wanting to get her back.
In the end, Princess Ni Yang did not even see him.
Using the excuse that it was late and she wanted to rest, she got the official to send Xiao Juan away.
Xiao Juan returned empty-handed.
He couldn’t sleep that night.
His mind was filled with Niaoniao.
Princess Ni Yang clearly did not want him to see Niaoniao.
What the hell did she want?
What if she wanted to hurt Niaoniao?
Xiao Juan could not bear the pain of losing Niaoniao.
“I’ll look for Wang Jianan now and ask him to find a reason to deceive Princess Ni Yang. We’ll set up an ambush in the County Governor’s Mansion in advance and attack when the time is right.”
This was the plan they had discussed.
Originally, he had planned to implement it in a few days, but now that Niaoniao had been detained by Princess Ni Yang, Xiao Juan could only bring the plan forward in order to prevent anything from happening to her. Wei Liao asked with a faint smile, “Why are you suddenly in such a hurry?”
Xiao Juan frowned and said in a low voice.
“Niaoniao hasn’t returned yet.”
Wei Liao’s expression immediately became serious.
His thoughts coincided with Xiao Juan’s—
He could not let Niaoniao continue to stay in Princess Ni Yang’s hands.
With Princess Ni Yang’s unpredictable personality, she might suddenly want to throw Niaoniao to feed the tiger.
Wei Liao didn’t ask further and quickly said.
“We’ll divide the work as we agreed before. I’ll deal with Princess Ni Yang. You deal with Yuan Gui. We have to take down both of them.”
Xiao Juan called Lo Pingsha and Yan Nanguan over and told them his plan.
“Little Lo, stay behind. Tomorrow, as soon as Princess Ni Yang leaves the princess’s residence, think of a way to save Niaoniao and come to the county governor’s residence to meet us.”
Lo Pingsha nodded.. “Yes!”
