Seeing Yu Niaoniao’s embarrassed expression, Princess Ni Yang smiled.

“I know your troubles. You can’t bear to part with Wei Liao, but you can’t let go of Ah Juan. You’re in a dilemma and don’t know how to choose, right? This question is actually very simple. Since you can’t make a choice, don’t make one.

You’ll take both.”

Yu Niaoniao was shocked by her words.

Could this really happen?

“That’s not a good idea.”

Princess Ni Yang raised her eyebrows and said disapprovingly, “What’s wrong

witn that( Can it be that men are allowed to nave three wives and tour concubines, but women are not allowed to raise a few more men?”

“Ordinary women would be restrained by three or four virtues, but you probably wouldn’t. You’re a woman who can draw The Record of Phoenix Cry Nation. Your thoughts shouldn’t be so narrow.”

Yu Niaoniao explained with difficulty, “I don’t think women should be born inferior to men. The so-called three rules of subordination and four virtues are just shackles to restrain women. If Duke Lang has let me down, I can abandon him, but he hasn’t done anything wrong to me. How can I let him down?” Princess Ni Yang smiled.

“You’re still too naive, but it doesn’t matter. Since you’re worried about An Juan, continue to be the Princess Consort of Lang County in peace. I’ll help you deal with Wei Liao. I promise I won’t let him affect your relationship as husband and wife.”

Yu Niaoniao was shocked.

After spending the past few days together, she had a rough understanding of Princess Ni Yangs character.

When Princess Ni Yang said that she would deal with him, she really wanted to deal with him completely and make him disappear from this world.

Yu Niaoniao was indeed troubled by the scandal between her and Wei Liao. She wanted to explain this matter as soon as possible so that Xiao Juan would not continue to misunderstand.

But she didn’t want Wei Liao to die because of this! After all, it was a life, and Wei Liao had helped her.

She couldn’t push him into the fire.

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly said.

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. There’s no need.”

Princess Ni Yang smiled mischievously. “You still can’t bear to part with Wei Liao, right? Look at you. You clearly want both of them, but you still insist on saying no. Why?”

Yu Niaoniao was extremely embarrassed.

This matter was already getting worse. There was no way to explain it.

She made up her mind and braced herself.

“To be honest, I don’t like Wei Liao.”

Princess Ni Yang narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone revealing a hint of danger.

“Then you told me before that Wei Liao is very important to you. Are you lying to me?”

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly shook her head.

“No! How would I dare to lie to you?! Wei Liao was indeed very important to me, but the truth was not what you thought.”

“There’s something you might not know. Duke Lang is sick. Although he looks no different from a normal person on the surface, his illness would flare up once he is agitated and he would become especially crazy.” “We sought out many physicians who said there was no cure.”

“This was until a divine doctor suddenly appeared and gave Duke Lang a prescription. He said that it could cure Duke Lang’s illness, but this prescription needs a medicinal catalyst in the form of human blood. Moreover, it has to be the fresh blood of a person with a Yin fate.”

“Wei Liao’s fate happened to be Yin. He is the medicinal catalyst I found for Duke Lang.”

After she finished these words in one breath, her heart was still beating like a drum. She did not know if these lies could fool Princess Ni Yang.

Princess Ni Yang frowned slightly, as if in deep thought. After a moment, she said, “Why does this plot sound familiar? Isn’t this the story between the little mute and the princess in The Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation?”

Yu Niaoniao said guiltily, “Yes, as the saying goes, art originates from life. My creative inspiration is drawn from life.”

“I see! I knew it. I was wondering why the little mute in the book looks so similar to Wei Liao. At first, I thought you liked him, so you drew him in the book. Now, it seems that I was wrong.”

Yu Niaoniao smiled awlwardly. “Wei Liao has to live. Otherwise, Duke Lang’s illness will be out of control. I hope Your Highness can help me keep this secret from outsiders.”

Especially not Wei Liao.

If this guy knew that he had become someone else’s medicinal primer, he would immediately overturn the roof of the princess’s residence.

Princess Ni Yang smiled. “Don’t worry, I understand.”

Yu Niaoniao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally fooled Princess Ni Yang this round.

Since Princess Ni Yang knew that she did not like Wei Liao, she would probably not matchmake her with him in the future. This way, she could save a lot of trouble.

Princess Ni Yang asked expectantly.

“There should be a third book, right? When do you plan to start writing? Do you need me to provide you with creative material?”

Yu Niaoniao was stunned. ‘What creative material?”

“There are so many gigolos in the residence that you can choose at will. Take away whoever you like. Whether it’s cutting out the heart, lungs, or eyeballs, it’s up to you. They’re your material.”

Yu Niaoniao’s scalp went numb. “No, no need. I don’t have the inspiration to create a third installment yet. I’ll look for you when I need it.”

Back then, she had indeed written The Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation with the goal of torturing people to death, but she had not really wanted to kill anyone because of this.

What did Princess Ni Yang mean by digging out the heart, lungs, and eyes? Just the thought of that scene was terrifying.

Princess Ni Yang was a little disappointed.

“How can there be no inspiration? I’m still waiting to see the third book.” Yu Niaoniao smiled awkwardly.

“That’s how creation is. It’s a test of inspiration. As long as inspiration comes, I could draw the entire book in an instant. But without inspiration, every stroke is torture.”

“Moreover, my hand is still injured. The doctor said that it would take a hundred days to recover.

It’s impossible for me to paint this hand again without recuperating for two or three months.”

With that, she pointed at her right wrist, which was wrapped in gauze, indicating that she was telling the truth. Princess Ni Yang sighed helplessly.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

She looked around. “Why don’t I see Juan? Where did he go?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “He went out early in the morning. He must have something to do.”

Princess Ni Yang was very dissatisfied.

“You’re injured, but he’s not at home with you. He’s too insensible. When he comes back, I’ll teach him a lesson for you!”

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly said, “Don’t. Business is more important. I understand.”

Princess Ni Yang chuckled.

“You just can’t bear to part with him.”

Yu Niaoniao lowered her head with a shy expression.

Princess Ni Yang said, “It’s quite boring for you to stay in the house all the time. Why don’t I take you out to play? I know a very interesting place.”

Yu Niaoniao looked up and asked curiously.

“What place?”

Princess Ni Yang deliberately kept her in suspense. “You’ll know when the time comes..”
