The dark guard did not arrive, but Hua Yan's carrier pigeon arrived first. Dou Yang released the carrier pigeon from his hand and unfolded the rolled-up paper tube. There were only two words written on it.

Come back quickly.

Dou Yang turned his head back to glance at the young man grilling fish beside the carriage. With a firm grip, the paper instantly turned into powder.

Yang Yang raised his head and happily exclaimed, "The fish is cooked!"

Du Yang looked at him, his expression gentle, but deep down there was a terrifying madness. He whispered, "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."

Hua Jiayu relied on him for her well-being, brought the grilled fish over, and they each took a bite.

After finishing the meal, Dou Yang replaced the towel for Hua Jiayu to wipe his hands. With his head hanging down, unable to discern the expression on his face, he said, "Your Majesty knows about our matter."

Hua Jiayu blinked his eyes and said, "If you know, then you know. We can just not return to the capital city."

Du Yang looked up, staring straight at him, his eyes filled with intense joy, "Really?"

Hua Jiayu nodded and rubbed his own chin, smiling with squinted eyes, "But I must write a letter to reassure Father, so he won't worry."

The surprise came too suddenly. Dou Yang suddenly picked up Hua Jiayu and ran towards the carriage.

Hua Jiayu: "Du Yang! I haven't taken a shower for three days already! We must hurry to the inn before it gets dark!"

Du Yang said, "It's alright, I don't mind."

Hua Jiayu: "I'm disgusted! You haven't showered for three days!"

Du Yang lowered her head and sealed his lips.

Don't be fooled by how well Yang takes care of him during ordinary days, as soon as they're in bed he turns into a wolf, a really ferocious one. Not to mention his immense physique, he's incredibly strong. Hua Jiayu is so distressed that he's in tears, almost flipping the carriage roof with his cries.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the two of them arrived at the inn. With red eyes and an expressionless face, Hua Jiayu instructed Dou Yang to write a letter, saying, "Write it like this, dear father, I regret it, please send someone to rescue me immediately..." Before I could finish speaking, Dou Yang put down the brush and looked up with a faint smile.

Hua Jiayu touched his nose and said jokingly, "Write that I'm doing well now, taking care of all the household chores while Yang only needs to be responsible for eating. There's no domestic violence, but our sex life is not quite harmonious. Other than that, everything is good. Also, you should remind Father to take care of his health. He's almost forty years old, so it would be better to discuss those matters with Zhao Zhen and do less of them..."

Du Yang: "......" He didn't notice the relationship between Zhao Zhen and Hua Yan...

Finally, Dou Yang only wrote eight words, "Father, everything is well, do not worry."

Without showing the content to Huajiayu, they finished delivering the letter and returned. They asked, "How did you know about the relationship between the Emperor and Zhao Zhen?"

Hua Jiayu said with a grave tone, "This is a secret that could cost one's head, so it's best to speak less."

Du Yang: "......"

Hua Jiayu was well aware that once Hua Yan found out about his relationship with Du Yang, the matter would not be resolved with just a letter.

On the small path, Hua Jiayu said, "Dou Yang, we're wandering outside like this. Sooner or later, Father Emperor will catch us and bring us back."

Du Yang said, "Don't worry, I can protect you."

Inside the palace, there were countless experts. With the loss of the renowned cheat code, the Bloodsucking Grand Technique, Hua Jiayu was still quite fearful. After pondering for a moment, he said, "How about we go live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests?"

If it weren't for the fear that Huajiayu wouldn't be able to accept it, Dou Yang would have already thought of doing something like this. He curled his lips slightly and said softly, "Okay."

Hua Jiayu sat comfortably in the car, feeling quite pleased with himself. There was some commotion outside, but it quickly disappeared. He thought about lifting the curtain to take a look, but then he spoke up at that moment, saying, "The road ahead is bumpy, so please hold on tight."

Hua Jiayu was most afraid of shaky paths. He nodded in agreement and obediently steadied himself.

Outside the car, Dou Yang threw the corpse dressed in black clothes into the grass by the side of the road, and looked in the direction of the capital with a gloomy expression.

That person's movements are really fast.
