"Don't... I won't leave, I really want to see, just what does royal father want with me? If he wants to kill me, even if we go to the ends of the earth, we won't be able to escape! Yuxuan, nothing will happen to me here. Leave quickly, time is limited. You must investigate the death of Lord Tian and return royal brother's innocence! "Please!" Xiao Yu Xuan's curled eyelashes flickered with a heartbreaking light, making it impossible for him to refuse such a request!
Within the Hall.
"royal father! Xing Yi dared to swear on his head that the 3rd royal sister didn't kill anyone! Please enlighten me, Father! Also, this son knows that his father suspects that the death of Lord Tian is related to his royal brother, so this son shall use his life to guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with his royal brother! All of this was caused by my son, Xing Yi, being the crown prince. I beg my father to take back my orders, so Xing Yi doesn't want to be this crown prince! " Duan Xingyi's handsome face was filled with absolute resolution. As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee.
"Nonsense!" The title of crown prince is related to the Great Mo River Mountain. You don't have to say anymore about this, royal father has already made up his mind! " Duan Chen coldly spoke, but his eyes were filled with doting love for Duan Xingyi! Compared to Duan Zitong, Duan Xingyi did not hold any hatred towards Mu Yan and Jing Yang. This was exactly what Duan Chen wanted to see!
"royal father! If my royal brother hadn't willingly given me the title of crown prince, I wouldn't have become this crown prince even if I had to die! This son of mine will do as he says! Let royal father think twice! " Duan Xingyi pursed his lips tightly and a bright light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Duan Jingyang's end was approaching! Duan Chen, oh Duan Chen, now that Duan Jingyang is dead, your Great Mo Dynasty is without descendants!
"Enough!" Don't say anymore, this matter will be handled by royal father! royal father is tired, I will not have tea with you today, you can leave now! " Duan Chen waved his hand, and Duan Xingyi, who knew his part in the drama, slowly withdrew from the Imperial Hall!
Watching Duan Xingyi's back gradually fade out of his line of sight, Duan Chen couldn't help but sigh deeply. Letting Jing Yang be willing was easier said than done! Duan Chen's heart grew heavier and heavier. In his mind, he suddenly recalled Duan Mu Yan. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly stopped! Mu Yan, Jing Yang, royal father has already let you down so many times, you won't miss this one time! Rest assured, as long as you pass through this hurdle, royal father will definitely compensate you!
In the end, Duan Chen did not bother to look at Duan Muyan. He was waiting, waiting for Duan Jingyang to beg him! With a single thought, she could destroy an entire nation and destroy their entire family! In the instant that Duan Chen closed his eyes, he finally understood what it meant to die before committing crimes!
Ever since Duan Mu Yan had been sent to the Sky Prison, Xiao Yu Xuan had been running back and forth from the Tian Residence to the Sky Prison. As for the two ends of the needle, there was still no clue.
At this time, it was already late. Xiao Yuxuan was carrying a bamboo basket to go to the Sky Prison to see Duan Mu Yan! As he was walking past Jinghua Street, a light flashed in front of his eyes. Xiao Yuxuan subconsciously retreated, only to discover that there was a person wearing tight night clothes blocking his path!
"Who are you?" Xiao Yuxuan slowly put down the bamboo basket and sized up the person in front of his. From his figure, one could tell that the person in front of his was a woman!
"Who I am is not important. The important thing is that your death date is already here!" The masked man spoke coldly. Without another word, he jumped straight towards Xiao Yuxuan!
Naturally, Xiao Yuxuan didn't dare to be negligent and immediately sidestepped the attack of the masked man! The masked man took out his sword and stabbed it towards Xiao Yuxuan's left chest. Xiao Yuxuan also took out his jade flute to block the attack. After a dozen rounds, the masked man felt the strain. She never expected Xiao Yuxuan's martial arts to be on par with his master's!
"I'll surrender and spare your life!" As he spoke, the jade flute became a sword that pierced towards the masked man's neck. He wanted to know who this person was!
"In your dreams!" The masked man suddenly turned around. Just as he was about to dodge, Xiao Yuxuan's sword had already stabbed into her chest. In a moment of desperation, the masked man flung his sleeves and a needle flew towards Xiao Yuxuan!
Almost at the same time, another figure flashed by. Xiao Yuxuan took a few steps back. When he saw the hidden weapon, his heart shook. He wanted to chase after it, but the masked man on the ground had already disappeared without a trace!
At this moment, Xiao Yuxuan took out the needle and compared it with the one in his hand. It was exactly the same! There was no doubt that the woman who had just fought with him was the murderer of Tian Chou.
Spring Festival.
"Heart of Ice!" Are you crazy? If I had left a moment ago, you would have already fallen into Xiao Yuxuan's hands! Didn't Master tell us not to act rashly! Why are you so reckless! " Ye Li sulked as he looked at Leng Bingxin, who was still dressed in her night clothes!
"I won't fall into Xiao Yuxuan's hands. If he catches me, I will end my own life and will not give him any clues. You should know this very well!" The cold voice had no trace of regret. Leng Bing Xin opened her mouth and slowly untied Ye Xing Yi!
Seeing Leng Bing Xin's reaction, Ye Li immediately turned around, but his heart still had some lingering fear!
"You don't care about your own life?" Ye Li knew that Leng Bing wanted to take back the needle that her master had given her!
"My business has nothing to do with you!" Leng Bing Xin said indifferently, she had already changed her clothes!
"Your matter has nothing to do with me. However, you attacked me again this time. Xiao Yuxuan already has two of your needles. This matter can't be too big or small. I must report it to Master!" Ye Li said solemnly, but a hint of bitterness flashed through his heart. It had nothing to do with him? A woman who had loved for seven years could actually say such heartless words.
"You!" Just as Leng Bing Xin was about to stop him, a figure flashed by. Duan Xingyi was already standing in front of his.
"I already know!" Duan Xingyi's deep eyes shone with the light of 'chilliness'. He looked at Leng Bingxin and pursed his lips, not saying a word!
"Your subordinate knows his wrongs. Your subordinate is only …" Just as Leng Bingxin opened her mouth to speak, Duan Xingyi's palm strike arrived. Leng Bingxin did not dodge, because she knew that this would be the result!
"Ugh …" Leng Bing Xin held onto her chest and took a few steps back, spitting out a mouthful of blood! When Ye Li saw this, he immediately went forward and supported Leng Bingxin, looking at Duan Xingyi with a begging gaze.
"Master!" Bing'er didn't do it on purpose. She just wanted to get back the needles in Xiao Yuxuan's hands. She just wanted to … " Ye Li still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Leng Bingxin.
"Ye Li, you don't need to say anymore. Master's punishment is that Bing'er knows she is guilty!" Leng Bingxin pushed Ye Li away with all her might and stubbornly leaned against the wall. She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look Duan Xingyi in the eye.
"It's good that you know it. It's fortunate that you didn't commit a grave mistake this time. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered such a heavy blow!" Duan Xingyi took in a deep breath. If he hadn't thought of looking at Duan Mu Yan from the Sky Prison, he might not have encountered such a situation.
"Master, what should we do now?" Right now, Xiao Yuxuan already had two needles containing the Heart of Cold Ice in his hand. How could he just let this go?
"Hmph, no matter what he did, it would be futile. I've already hidden Bing'er's needle in Duan Jingyang's room, so it's not strange that Xiao Yuxuan has a needle!" Duan Xingyi coldly spoke, as a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"This time, I have come to warn you and to... Ye Li, come with me! " Duan Xingyi coldly spoke, then leapt out of the window! Ye Li glanced at Leng Bing Xin, then turned around and followed her out.
Looking at Duan Xingyi's departing figure, the stubbornness on Leng Bingxin's face was instantly defeated. She knew that it was a punishment for wrongdoing, but she didn't expect her master's palm to strike over without hesitation. Not to mention it was so heavy.
At an inn opposite the Spring Festival.
"Master, Bing'er did have good intentions as well. She just doesn't want to …" Ye Li was about to explain, but Duan Xingyi stopped him.
"I naturally understand her feelings. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a palm strike! "Ye Li, I'll give you a mission right now. I can't tell Bing'er about it, and I'm afraid something bad might happen to him!" Duan Xingyi said coldly.
"Please speak, Master!"
"Duan Mu Yan is currently imprisoned. If my guess is correct, Duan Zitong will not let this matter rest. I'll have you guard the prison at night and protect Duan Mu Yan's safety!" Duan Xingyi understood Duan Zitong too well! She definitely wouldn't consider letting Duan Mu Yan off just for her own grand plan!
"Ye Li accepts the order!"
"Ye Li, I know what you're thinking about Bing'er. It's just that Bing'er is too stubborn and stubborn. Your martial arts are definitely above hers. Sometimes, you can't let her do anything she wants!" Do you know! " Duan Xingyi reminded.
"Master, I …" Ye Li was flabbergasted by Duan Xingyi's words and was momentarily at a loss for words.
"There's no need to explain. I don't object to the two of you being together, I just want you to look after her. I'll be leaving first! " Duan Xingyi left these words behind before turning around and leaving.
Looking at Duan Xingyi's back, Ye Li could not help but feel a trace of bitterness from the bottom of his heart. His master already knew what his subordinate was thinking. Could it be that he didn't know what Bing'er was thinking?
Ever since Duan Mu Yan had gone to prison, everything else in the Xiao manor was normal except for Zhou Jing who no longer cared about the matters of the manor. Xiao Jin Feng had also handed over the matters of Zhou Jing to Su Jin Xiu, while he himself stayed in the study for two whole days without coming out!
"Feng Xue, do you think our prince is guilty? I haven't had a meal in two days! " Cui Xin and Feng Xue walked through the archway in the front yard.
"Sigh!" Can you not feel guilty? Just look at how badly they beat up the wangfei in the court. Their backs are covered in blood and they're still drawing signs while the wangfei is unconscious. Feng Xue did not agree!
Just as Cui Xin and Feng Xue were walking towards the kitchen, a sharp voice suddenly came from behind them!
"Ugh …" "Lady Jin, you …" Cui Xin and Feng Xue knew that they had a lot to say, and they immediately lowered their eyes. At this moment, Su Jin Xiu had actually become the housekeeper of the Xiao family. As long as she spoke, she didn't need to ask for anyone's permission, she could be kicked out of the Xiao family!
"Be careful with your words in the future, what do you think? Your Highness still won't eat it? " Su Jin's eyes flashed with a cold light as she looked at the food in Feng Xue's hand.
"Reporting to elder sister Jin Xiu, the prince didn't even open the door. He only told us to bring it back." Feng Xue replied truthfully.
"Give it to me!" Su Jin Xiu took the tray from Feng Xue's hand. After thinking for a while, she turned around and walked towards the study room. Seeing Su Jin Xiu walk far away, the two maidservants couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. It looked like their future days wouldn't be good!
Within the study room, Xiao Jin Feng looked at the scrolls on the desk in a daze, his mind was filled with the scene of Duan Mu Yan being beaten up. Even though she had been beaten up, her expression was still as stubborn as ever, and even if she had to endure excruciating pain, she still wouldn't admit her wrongs. Could it be that she didn't know that even if she pleaded guilty, the Emperor wouldn't do anything to her? Ah, Duan Muyan! Why are you so entangled with Jade Xuan? Why don't you even look at me? As long as you look at me once, I will definitely save you! You are my consort! She's my, Xiao Lingfeng's, concubine!
At this moment, Xiao Jingfeng's fists were clenched tightly as his eyes slowly narrowed. His heart was in great pain. Ever since he saw Duan Mu Yan being dragged into the cell, his heart had been in so much pain that he couldn't fall asleep! He even wanted to rush into the prison cell to rescue Duan Mu Yan, but unknowingly, he had already been moved by her actions!
