"Mu Yan, you've suffered!" Even though it was just a few simple blows, it was enough to cause Duan Mu Yan to burst into tears! She wasn't afraid of hardship, she was afraid of the Dao of this world! She had never tried to provoke or deceive anyone. She had tried her best to maintain all the relationships between them, but in the end, she had nothing!
"Yu Xuan!" "Where is this place?" The pain from his back caused Duan Mu Yan to slowly wake up. After letting out all her energy, Duan Mu Yan suddenly realized her situation and immediately left Xiao Yu Xuan's embrace!
"Don't worry, this is Physician Zheng's manor and no one will hurt you. Mu Yan, your injuries are very serious, drink the medicine first. Once you've recovered, we will leave this place!" I won't let you go back to the Xiao manor again! I won't let you let others bully me! " Xiao Yuxuan had made up his mind! This time, no matter what, he had to bring Duan Mu Yan away!
"No …" No! I won't leave! I can't stand by and watch my royal brother in danger. I can't just ignore Qiu Yue's grievances! I want to sue Su Jin Xiu! She was the one who killed Qiu Yue! I want to make her pay with her life! " Duan Moyan's gaze gradually turned cold as bits and pieces of light glimmered with extreme anger!
"Mu Yan! Haven't you suffered enough? " Xiao Yuxuan cried out in grief as he held onto Duan Mu Yan's shoulders!
"I've already suffered so much, and I'm afraid I'll suffer a little more? "Yuxuan, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I can't let you go. If my royal brother doesn't become the crown prince and Qiu Yue can't redress my grievances, I won't be at ease even if I reach the ends of the earth!" Duan Mu Yan tried her best to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes. The light in her eyes was that of an unwavering determination that Xiao Yu Xuan had never seen before!
"Then what you're saying is that if Jing Yang's problem is resolved and you seek justice for Qiu Yue, then you …" Are you willing to leave this place with me? " Xiao Yuxuan understood Duan Mu Yan's personality too well! Her patience on the surface definitely did not mean that she was willing to compromise!
"Yes!" When it's all over, I'll go with you! We'll go far away and never come back! "Yu Xuan …" Duan Moyan threw herself into Xiao Yuxuan's embrace once more. Feeling the warmth that she hadn't felt in a long time, a bitter smile appeared on her face. She didn't know whether or not she would still be alive once all of this was over.
"Mu Yan! You finally agreed to leave with me! Great! Mu Yan, I will not let you face all of this by yourself! No matter what, I will always be by your side! If anyone dares to hurt you, I will fight them to the death! " Xiao Yuxuan's clear eyes flashed with a bright light as he hugged Duan Mu Yan even more tightly, his two hearts sticking even closer together!
The night wind gradually grew stronger, the cold slowly enveloping the entire imperial city.
When that alluring Hong Chang appeared in front of Duan Xingyi, his expression did not change in the slightest. He still lazily leaned on the imperial concubine's chair, closed his eyes and rested!
"You really can hold on. Duan Mu Yan is about to ascend to the guillotine. Don't you feel heartache?" A clear and melodious voice came out of Shangguan Wuye's thin lips as if he was teasing him. His charming eyes surveyed every detail of the Saint Storage Pavilion.
"I don't need you to worry about my woman!" Duan Xingyi slowly opened his star-like eyes and glanced sideways at Hong Chang!
"Your woman? Despite staying in the forest for three days, nothing has happened. I truly didn't know that the amicable Shen Hansheng would learn to be a righteous man! " Shangguan Wuye curled his lips into a faint smile. Under the light of the candlelight, his light purple hair gave off a unique charm.
Casual?" Heh! Until now, there has never been a woman who was able to get on my, Shen Han Sheng's, bed. Unlike a certain Palace Master, there are more women who have been woken up than the stars in the sky! " Duan Xingyi stretched his muscles a little, then elegantly stood up and poured a cup of tea for Shangguan Wuye!
"Tsk tsk, it's not Duan Xingyi this time? I thought you were going to fight to the end! " Shangguan Wuye sucked on his fragrant tea as he spoke.
"You really dare to drink it? Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you and silence you …?" Duan Xingyi glanced sideways at his bad friend and resentfully said.
Speechless, Shangguan Wuye raised an eyebrow, his hand lightly brushed his lips as if savoring the fragrance of the strong tea!
"What am I afraid of? I have rouge to cure me of the poison. In this world of strange poisons, I have never seen someone whose rouge cannot be cured!" Shangguan Wuye said fearlessly.
"Humph!" "Speak, why did you come looking for me?" Duan Xingyi lightly snorted. He had no choice but to admit that the seven Holy Daughters of Moon Glow Palace were indeed impressive.
"Didn't I already say that when we came!? Duan Mu Yan is currently in a dire situation. Don't you want to save her? " Shangguan Wuye shook the luxurious clothing on his body, his eyes were fixated on Duan Xingyi's enchanter-like handsome face!
"You care too much. Moreover, there is someone protecting her now. I don't need to come forward!" Duan Xingyi disapproved. His dark eyes flashed with a light that Shangguan Wuye could not fathom!
"You are really generous. It seems that you have confidence in yourself?" "Then I won't say too much. I've come to ask you, do a good job …" Without waiting for Shangguan Wuye to speak, Duan Xingyi's sharp eyes shot towards him!
"I'm Duan Xingyi!" Seeing Duan Xingyi being so serious, Shangguan Wuye couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.
"I know! The Second Prince of the Badlands! Alright, since the Second Prince does not welcome me, then Wu Ye will take his leave! " Shangguan Wuye pretended to be angry and got up, but he didn't see Duan Xingyi's intention of persuading him to stay. It seemed that he really couldn't afford to offend this bad friend of his if he became serious!
Just as Shangguan Wuye walked to the window, Duan Xingyi suddenly spoke up.
"Where is Duan Mu Yan now?" There wasn't a single trace of warmth in his cold voice. Duan Xingyi continued to lean back in the Imperial Concubine's chair, his eyes closed as he rested his mind.
"Doctor Zheng's residence!" After saying that, Shangguan Wuye suddenly jumped up, a red dress was exceptionally alluring in the night sky, as it caught everyone's attention, and everything returned to calmness.
Duan Mu Yan, hehe, this time, I'll have to make you suffer a little grievance. However, don't worry, I, Duan Xingyi, will definitely avenge you one day.
The night passed in silence. Early the next morning, just as Mo Chen returned to the Imperial Hall, he saw Duan Zitong already waiting there!
"Zitong, how did you find the time to come see royal father!" Even though Duan Zitong's methods had disappointed Duan Chen, because of his love for Qin Yu Die, as long as there was a chance, Duan Chen would turn a blind eye!
"Your son greets royal father …" After Duan Zitong bowed, he walked a few steps to Duan Chen's side and extended his hand to help him enter the Hall. Eunuch Li, who was following behind, naturally waited outside the hall.
"Why did I think of paying respects to royal father today? royal father has not seen you for quite some time! " Duan Chen dotingly looked at his daughter, who was by his side, with a smile on his face.
"No, I came here the day before yesterday!" royal father … Don't know... Is there anything special going on at the morning assembly? " He really wanted to know if Wu Bingcheng had taken over the case and reported it to her father!
"Looks like you know about it!" Speak! What do you think? " Duan Chen said in a carefree manner, his gaze shifting to the side to look at Duan Zitong.
"Father is referring to …" Duan Zitong didn't dare to continue trying to guess Duan Chen's thoughts. Moreover, he really didn't know whether the matter regarding Duan Mu Yan was what Duan Chen was referring to!
"Do you think your Three Emperors Sister could kill someone?" Duan Chen's gaze turned solemn as he looked at Duan Zitong.
"Since royal father has asked, this official has no qualms about it. I came here for this matter, and I have not been in the palace for long. This son does not dare to speak carelessly, but I heard that in the court yesterday, Imperial Tutor Xiao Yuxuan held the Three Sovereigns in his arms in front of everyone and then left. This son believes that this is a disgrace to the dignity of the royal family! "Therefore, your son …" As long as he thought about Xiao Yuxuan causing a ruckus in the Board of Justice for Duan Mu Yan, the fire in Duan Zitong's heart wouldn't be able to swallow!
"Zi Tong, do you hate Mu Yan?" Before Duan Zitong could say anything, Duan Chen interrupted her!
"Ugh …" Why did royal father ask this? " At first, Duan Zitong was taken aback. Then, she calmed herself down and asked suspiciously.
"Now that your third sister is in a murder case, don't you care at all?" Disappointment could be seen in the depths of Duan Chen's eyes.
It's not that I don't care, it's that I know her well. She didn't kill anyone, but even if she did, she would only end up in jail for a few days at most. She won't be troubled!" This was called kinship. After this matter is over, the third sister will still be the side concubine of the Qi King. But in the main hall, the side concubine of the Qi King will be protected by the Ping King to such an extent that the royal father can imagine, after this matter has been pacified, will the life of the third sister be better at the Xiao King Manor? "" Father, . " When she said that she wouldn't make things difficult for Duan Mu Yan, Duan Chen's sword-like eyebrows clearly relaxed. It seems that he really is a tiger that doesn't eat its prey!
"What you said does make sense!" This matter... What do you think we should do? " Duan Chen lightly sighed. How could he not know about the relationship between Duan Mu Yan and Xiao Yu Xuan? If it wasn't for him … Thinking up to here, Duan Chen's heart was filled with an unusual bitterness. He originally thought that he wouldn't regret it. As long as he could get revenge on Ling Ziyan, it would be considered taking revenge for Qin Yu Die! But now, he suddenly realized that this was not the case!
"This son believes that royal father should order for the Imperial Tutor to not be involved in this matter. According to my knowledge, the Imperial Tutor also has official duties. He is neglecting his duty by doing so!" Duan Zitong's cherry lips slightly pursed as she suggested.
"It's all thanks to your consideration of me, Zitong!" Just do as you say! This decree shall be read out by you, and you can also take a look at how Wu Bingcheng decided the case! Zitong, no matter what, Mu Yan is still your Third Emperor's sister and is your royal father's daughter, do you understand? " Duan Chen looked at Duan Zitong with a meaningful gaze. There were some words that had to be said!
"This son understands!" Duan Zitong respectfully said as she slightly nodded her head. Royal father, you can't blame this son of mine, so what if it's the same father, her mother has committed an unforgivable crime!
Without sleeping the whole night, Xiao Jingfeng was sitting in the front hall with a blank look on his face. He didn't say a word, and even Housekeeper Zhou was frowning at his side! At this moment, a servant ran in from outside!
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Ministry of Justice has sent word that Your Highness and Su Jin are to be brought to the court for trial!" The servant replied shakily. Xiao Jingfeng was startled when he heard that and looked up immediately!
"What did you say?" Trial? The plaintiff was nowhere to be found! What trial! " Xiao Jingfeng clenched his fists and spoke fiercely!
"In reply to Your Highness, the runner said that the side concubine is already in the court!" The servant replied truthfully.
Xiao Lingfeng's heart suddenly shook. He suddenly had a feeling of relaxation as his originally conflicted heart slowly sank down! Duan Mu Yan didn't leave the Imperial City with Yu Xuan? They didn't leave!
"Your highness, there's no time to lose. Let's hurry as well. This old servant is really worried about the wounding of wangfei …" Only after hearing the servant's report did his heart calm down!
