Xiao Juan slowly walked into the central room and saw Yu Niaoniao dozing off on the table.
He didn't know what she was dreaming about, but she smacked her lips twice and made muffled grunts in her throat.
When Dang Gui saw that Duke Lang had returned, she hurriedly stood up and was about to call for help, but Duke Lang raised his hand to stop her.
He took off his cloak and gently draped it over Yu Niaoniao.
Yu Niaoniao felt the weight on her and woke up immediately.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
When she saw the man standing in front of her, she instantly sobered and called out in surprise.
"Your Highness, you're finally back!"
Xiao Juan sat down beside her and asked, "Have you been waiting for me to come back?"
Yu Niaoniao nodded. "That's right. You were in the palace for so long and never returned. We were all worried about you."
She remembered what Granny Xiu Yan had said and quickly said to Dang Gui.
