"There's no need to thank me. I was entrusted by someone else to do so!" Shangguan Wuye knew that even if Duan Xingyi hadn't said it, he would have come to save his.

"Who?" Duan Moyan looked at Shangguan Wuye with a suspicious look on her face.

"What do you think? It's not easy to stay here," Wu Ye said. "Don't worry, once you've thought it through, Wu Ye will take you away from this damn place!" Shangguan Wuye stood up and disappeared from the cell in a flash.

Duan Mu Yan was surprised by Shangguan Wu Ye's unfathomable martial arts, but in her mind she wondered who the person he was referring to was. Could it be Duan Xingyi? Although Duan Mu Yan did not wish to have anything to do with him, other than him, Duan Mu Yan could not think of anyone else!

When he left the cell, Shangguan Wuye was about to leave when he saw the purple robe on top of the cell looking straight at him. Shangguan Wuye couldn't help chuckling, like the first rays of the moon, bewitching.

"If you want to be a good person, why don't you go yourself? I've taken advantage of you, are you willing? " Shangguan Wuye leaped up and arrived in front of Duan Xingyi. His eyes looked at Duan Xingyi's enchanting face and couldn't help but sigh. If there was anyone more beautiful than him in this world, perhaps he would be Duan Xingyi! In fact, Shangguan Wuye had humbled himself. That enchanting looks, not only did women not win, but also men.

"What did she say?" He really wanted to go in. From the moment Duan Mu Yan had been imprisoned, he had wanted to go in, but he couldn't because his identity prevented him from taking a step forward. Other than watching from the distance every night, there was almost nothing he could do.

"What can you say? You should know that girl's personality better than I do. She won't leave, but don't worry, the wound on her back has already healed!" Shangguan Wuye shrugged.

"The wound on her back has healed, but her heart is already dead. That's fine too. If she doesn't have any worries here, then she can leave with a peace of mind." Duan Xingyi muttered to himself.

"You aren't thinking of bringing her back to do it …"

"You have no business here, you can leave now!" Duan Xingyi couldn't wait for Shangguan Wuye to continue speaking, so he spoke coolly.

"What a great move!" But forget it, I owe you! Alright, I'm leaving! Do it yourself! But let me remind you, that girl is very stubborn. She might not be willing to leave with you … " After saying that, Shangguan Wuye turned and left.

Seeing that Hong Chang had left his line of sight, Duan Xingyi pursed his lips. If that day comes, regardless of whether Duan Mu Yan is willing or not, I will bring her along and leave.

In a flash, Duan Mu Yan had already been in prison for seven days and Duan Chen had yet to issue any orders on how to deal with it. He was waiting, waiting for Xiao Yu Xuan to return empty-handed. From Duan Chen's perspective, it was only a matter of time before Duan Mu Yan's imprisonment decided this matter.

After days of hunting him down, Xiao Yuxuan had no clue about this assassin. Even though he had used the Ministry of Justice's four famous hunters, he still didn't have any clues that he could find out. This caused Xiao Yuxuan to become flustered until a friend in the martial arts world asked him if he could find any. As for the owner of this ice needle, no one knew. However, it was highly likely that he was a Northern Desert expert.

"Are you saying that the people who killed Lord Tian were from the Northern Yue?" Why would they want to kill Lord Tian for no reason at all? " Zhu Xu looked at Xiao Yuxuan in disbelief.

"I'm not sure yet, but it's possible! Tomorrow will be the deadline. If I am unable to produce reliable evidence, then the Emperor will pin this crime on the First Prince! Prime Minister, what do we do now? " Xiao Yuxuan looked impatiently at Zhu Xu. At this point, he was truly at his wit's end.

"This old man doesn't know either. It seems like the Emperor is determined to pass on the position of Crown Prince to the Second Prince!" Right now, I'm not afraid of anything else. The main reason is that I'm afraid that the First Prince might lose his patience and find the Emperor for a reason! Especially since the Third Princess was imprisoned! This made the old man even more worried. Judging from the emperor's personality, he definitely wouldn't let the third princess lock him up for so long. Presumably, the emperor did this on purpose! I really don't know what the emperor is thinking! " At this time, Zhu Xu was also in a great mess!

"Don't worry Prime Minister, I've already warned the First Prince repeatedly. I believe that the First Prince won't go to the Emperor rashly. As for the Third Princess, let's just wait and see!" Xiao Yu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to risk it all!

Imperial Palace, Ting Jin Pavilion.

Duan Jingyang had not gone to find his father, but this did not mean that Duan Chen would not take the initiative to attack.

When Duan Chen appeared in the Ting Pavilion, Duan Jingyang didn't even believe his eyes. Ever since he was young, this was the first time he had seen his Imperial Father step into his doorstep. His heart trembled with emotion as Duan Jingyang rushed forward and kowtowed.

"This son greets royal father!" Duan Jingyang was so excited that his voice trembled.

"Let's rise!" Jing Yang, have you been well? " Duan Chen quietly looked at the decorations of the Pavilion of Subjugation. It turned out that he had never entered this place despite the passage of so many years. Perhaps Xiao Yuxuan was right, he owed this pair of children!

"Reporting to royal father, this son is doing well. I, your father, will sit down. I will pour some tea for you!" Duan Jingyang felt a bit nervous and excited. Even his hands, which were holding onto the teapot, could not help but tremble.

"You sit down too!" Duan Chen said indifferently. Looking at the excitement and unease on Duan Jingyang's face, he couldn't speak the words in his heart no matter what. But for the sake of Mo Yu, he had to be ruthless!

"Jing Yang, I believe you've also heard about Tian University's personnel. Father would like to know if this has anything to do with you?" Duan Chen had no intention of concealing anything, as he spoke straightforwardly.

"Father suspects this son? Reporting to royal father, this matter has nothing to do with this subject! " Duan Jingyang firmly said.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. You should also know about Mu Yan's imprisonment, right?" Duan Chen insinuated himself insinuatingly, shifting the topic to Duan Muyan.

"royal father! Mu Yan is innocent. She can't kill someone! I implore royal father to order the release of Mu Yan and to investigate this matter once more! " As long as he mentioned Duan Mu Yan, Duan Jingyang immediately got excited.

"Jingyang, is your royal father anxious? But your royal father asked Wu Bingcheng for ironclad evidence. Why did you ask your royal father to release Mu Yan!?" You also know, that there are clouds in the ancient saying, when the Son of Heaven violates the law, he sin with the common people. Duan Chen's sword-like eyebrows creased as he glanced at Duan Jingyang from the corner of his eyes.

"Father, didn't you want to … No! royal father, please let Mu Yan go! She's your own daughter! " Duan Jingyang looked at his father in horror. He had never expected this outcome!

"Jing Yang, I also want to let Mu Yan off, but... "I am in a really difficult situation!" Duan Chen gritted his teeth and refused to let go. With a conflicted expression on his face, a trace of guilt flashed across his heart!

No, your son will not let anything happen to Mu Yan! If father kills, then I will die. Jing Yang is willing to give his life for it! " Glimmers danced in Duan Jingyang's eyes. He suddenly didn't know who this man in front of him was. Even though the tiger was poisonous enough to be a glutton, the man in front of him kept saying that he wanted to kill his own daughter!

"Jing Yang, what are you saying? How can Mu Yan kill you and make you bear a crime!" royal father was also thinking of a way! "But …" Duan Chen gritted his teeth and continued.

"If the case of Tian Churen does not end, I will not be able to rest at ease for a day. I can only let Mu Yan suffer in prison for a few more days!" Duan Chen suddenly turned his face away. He did not know how he should face Duan Jingyang. This was undoubtedly hinting at Duan Jingyang.

At this moment, Duan Jingyang finally collapsed onto his chair and stared fixedly at the emperor in front of him. His heart felt like it was about to break down. He understood. So this was the reason why his father entered the Ting Hall! The sky above Duan Jingyang's head began to collapse. It was as if the entire world had been annihilated, and all of his remaining willpower was completely gone!

"Jing Yang, I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!" The silence in the room made Duan Chen feel uneasy. He did not dare to look at Duan Jingyang's reaction, nor did he dare to continue speaking. This was the first time he was at a loss of what to do in front of Duan Jingyang.

The instant Duan Chen stood up, Duan Jingyang spoke.

"Lord Tian …" It was me who got someone to kill him! His son was dissatisfied that his father wanted Duan Xingyi to be the crown prince, so all the officials who supported him had to die. This was the best proof of that! If not for this answer, can you save Mu Yan? " Duan Jingyang tried his best to hold back the tears in his eyes as he coldly spoke. Each word was like ice! At this moment, he really didn't know what reason he had for insisting that his royal father wanted to kill him, and in such a despicable way at that!

"Royal father, please think about it … Perhaps … Perhaps there is a better way! " Duan Chen left in a perfunctory manner, his heart suffering the same torment.

As he watched Duan Chen's departing back, Duan Jingyang's tears couldn't help but roll down uncontrollably. He suddenly missed mufei and missed Mu Yan. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness that was about to swallow him whole!

In the dark, Duan Xingyi's sword-like eyebrows slightly raised as a trace of certainty flashed in his heart. Duan Chen, you really have to be ruthless. If the truth were to be revealed one day, I wonder what your reaction would be!

At the Imperial Hall, Duan Chen sat dejectedly on a wooden chair. His eagle-like eyes turned hollow. He had achieved his goal, but now he hesitated. He asked himself, "What are you doing?" Using his own daughter to force his son into a dead end? Even though he would not deal with Duan Jingyang, taking away the crown prince who had originally belonged to him was undoubtedly pushing him into an abyss! Duan Chen asked himself, 'Do you really want to do this?' Maybe he should consider it carefully!

Right at this moment, Duan Zitong dashed into the Imperial Hall!

"royal father! Royal Father is in trouble! "Xingyi is packing his luggage. He's leaving!" Hearing Duan Zitong's anxious words, Duan Chen suddenly stood up and supported the panting Duan Zitong up!

"What did you say?" Xingyi was about to leave! Where is he now?! " Duan Chen's train of thoughts was interrupted by Duan Zitong as she asked worriedly.

"She was in the Sage Storage Pavilion just now, I wonder if she left now! royal father, this son does not want Xingyi to leave! Please let him stay! " Duan Zitong looked pleadingly at Duan Chen. In the next second, Duan Chen immediately helped Duan Zitong sit down and walked towards the Sage Storage Pavilion.

By the time Duan Chen arrived at the Sage Storage Pavilion, Duan Xingyi had already left!

Where's the Second Prince?! Did you see that? " Duan Chen questioned the maids within the palace harshly. His eyes were filled with anxiety and worry!

"Reporting to the emperor, the second prince left for the east gate of the imperial city. The servants can't stop him even if they wanted to, so I beg the emperor …" The first class of maidservants looked up; Duan Chen had long since disappeared!

The alluring Zi Chang circled around the palace. After calculating that it was about time, she finally left!
