"This …" While Duan Mu Yan was hesitating, he was already being carried by Duan Xing Yi on his back. Duan Xing Yi couldn't help but pucker his lips as he smiled in relief when he felt her jade-like arm around his neck.

The moment Duan Xingyi opened the door, the enchanting red dress appeared before the two of them. The instant he saw Shangguan Wuye, Duan Mu Yan subconsciously tightened his jade arms, which made Duan Xingyi even more satisfied. He knew that compared to Shangguan Wuye, she trusted him even more.

"Are you ready to leave just like that?" Shangguan Wuye spoke leisurely, his almond-shaped eyes glancing at Duan Xingyi.

"I will naturally repay Lady Yanzhi for saving my life. As for you, please step aside!" Duan Xingyi said coldly.

"What a bad friend. This time, I know what it means to be a roasted rabbit!" "Third princess, if you're bored in the future, come to the Moon Flower Hall and drink some tea with me. The main entrance to the Moon Flower Palace is always open for you …" Without waiting for Shangguan Wuye to finish speaking, Duan Xingyi had long since left with Duan Mu Yan.

"No matter what, I still want to thank you." He was very clear that from the beginning to the end, Duan Xingyi had never felt sad for her and had even saved her more than once. Duan Xingyi and Duan Zitong were, in the end, on completely different levels.

"To be able to hear the word 'thank you' from your mouth is truly not easy. There's no need for thanks, as long as you remember my words …" Duan Xingyi indifferently replied as the throbbing in his heart slowly ignited. If he wasn't afraid that Cai Die would expose her secret, Duan Xingyi definitely wouldn't have brought Duan Mu Yan back to the Sky Prison so quickly.

"That person just now …" Duan Mu Yan said in disbelief as she looked at the rainbow butterfly scurrying out from the rooftop.

However, in the past few days, it's fortunate that she helped you support it, otherwise, the world would really be in chaos. It's getting late, I'll go back first, don't worry, I will ask Royal Father to release you! Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Duan Mu Yan.

"No need …"

"What?"

"You don't need to plead with royal father, this place is very good …" Looking at the sadness and loneliness in Duan Muyan's eyes, Duan Xingyi felt pity for his from the bottom of his heart. When there was no response, Duan Xingyi quietly left.

Sage Storage Pavilion.

When Duan Xingyi returned to his room, Duan Zitong had already been waiting for a long time.

"Xingyi, I haven't been able to find you for the past few days. Where did you go?" Looking at Duan Xingyi's travel worn appearance, Duan Zitong worriedly asked.

It's nothing. We just have to take a look around. There's nothing to do anyway." Duan Xingyi smiled with a smile that was not a smile and a hint of cynicism could be seen in his eyes. Seeing Duan Xingyi walk into the Sage Storage Pavilion, Duan Zitong cast a glance at Qing Lan, who naturally understood her intentions and closed the door behind her.

"Xingyi, it looks like Imperial Sis has underestimated you!" In the end, Duan Jingyang still died in your hands! " Duan Zitong's sincere praise was exchanged for Duan Xingyi's stupefaction.

"Duan Jingyang is dead?" When did this happen? " Duan Xingyi looked at Duan Zitong in astonishment and asked suspiciously.

"You … You don't know? I don't know when, but it was almost noon when I was discovered! He … You didn't kill him? " Duan Zitong looked at her younger brother in astonishment.

"How is this possible? I have not reached the stage of brazenly killing a prince in the palace! Where's royal father? "Where is it now?" Duan Xingyi denied it.

"Is he really committing suicide out of guilt? It seemed like the masked man from Qing Lan had really been sent out by Duan Jingyang the day she made her move? In other words, it wasn't an injustice for Duan Jingyang to die! Star... "Xingyi …" Duan Zitong muttered to herself. In the blink of an eye, Duan Xingyi had vanished.

Imperial Hall.

Duan Chen leaned dejectedly against the bed, his mind was filled with the scene of Duan Jingyang dying. The sharp sword stabbed into Duan Jingyang's chest was the only gift he had given to Duan Jingyang in this lifetime. In the past twenty years, he had almost never cared about this son of his. But the moment he saw Duan Jingyang lying in a pool of blood, Duan Chen suddenly realized that he had never forgotten his son.

"Father!" Duan Xingyi almost staggered his way into the Imperial Hall and knelt in front of Duan Chen.

"Father... Your son is unfilial. As soon as I came back, I heard … This is not real... It's all my fault. I shouldn't have become the crown prince … "That shouldn't be …" Duan Xingyi painfully said, covering his face under Duan Chen's knees!

"Yi'er …" Yi'er, your royal father only has you left now. Don't leave your royal father … "Don't..." Duan Chen's trembling hands tightly held onto Duan Xingyi as tears silently slid down his aged face. At this moment, Duan Chen suddenly realized that he had really aged. He was old to the point that he couldn't withstand a single blow!

"Father, this son will not leave you! Never! "Ke Er doesn't want to be the crown prince anymore. If it wasn't for the crown prince, your royal brother wouldn't …" Before Duan Xingyi could finish his words, he was stopped by Duan Chen.

"Yi'er, your royal brother is …" This matter has nothing to do with you, so you must not blame yourself. If you are in the wrong, it is also royal father's fault, it is royal father who has neglected this son, it is royal father who has let him down! Right now, there is only you, a prince, in the entire Badlands Territory. Tomorrow... Tomorrow, royal father will announce to the world that he has made you Crown Prince! " Duan Chen choked with sobs as he spoke, his tears slowly dripping onto Duan Xingyi's violet clothes.

"Father... Available... "However, before royal brother's funeral can even begin, you chose me as your crown prince. This …" Duan Xingyi said in grief.

"Father really can't wait anymore … Father has already decided on this matter. Father begs you, do not refuse again … "Please!" Duan Chen put more force into his hands. Duan Xingyi could feel that he was afraid!

"This son …" This son will not disappoint royal father … " Duan Xingyi secretly sneered. Duan Chen! I definitely won't let you down. I can't guarantee anything else. I definitely can make you die with regrets!

"That's good …" "That's good …" Duan Chen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, his heart still in pain.

"Father, the third imperial sister is still in prison. This son dares to ask royal father to let the third imperial sister go!" He knew that even if he did not say it himself, Duan Chen would definitely release Duan Mu Yan.

"Right... Right... I can't let Mu Yan suffer in prison anymore. royal father will draft an edict right now, you go and proclaim the edict yourself, but … It was just that about Jing Yang … Let's not tell her yet. Let her first return to Duke Xiao Palace to have a good night's sleep. After tomorrow morning at the imperial court, royal father will personally send someone to pick her up … " As Duan Chen spoke, he had already arrived in front of the table and began to pour ink onto the table. After that, he handed the imperial edict to Duan Xingyi.

Xiao Wang Manor.

"Prince, you're so late. Where are you going?" When Embroidery brought the dishes into the study, she saw Xiao Jingfeng wearing a robe.

"I wonder if the news of the First Prince's death has reached the Celestial Prison. This King has thought about it and is still worried. Embroidery, help me get a robe!" Xiao Jin Feng spoke solemnly, his eyes filled with worry.

"Your Royal Highness, aren't you already wearing a long robe? If it's not warm enough, this servant will change it to an even thicker one for you. " Su Jin Xiu was about to turn around, but was stopped by Xiao Jin Feng.

"It's not mine. Take mine from a woman. I wonder if the Heavenly Prison is cold …" At this moment, he did not realize in the slightest that his unconscious concern for Duan Mu Yan had already been exposed.

"Your servant obeys!" Su Jinxiu's voice shook as the jealousy in her heart burned once again. She thought that Duan Zitong would kill this woman while she was in prison, but she didn't expect that she was still safe and sound.

Walking out of the room, Su Jin Xiu hugged her robe.

"Your Highness, I'll go with you. The long robe will be taken by your brocade." Su Jin Xiu said indifferently, she did not reject him. Xiao Jin Feng slightly nodded his head and walked towards the entrance of the residence.

In the pavilion.

A white curtain covered the entire room. Duan Jingyang was quietly lying in the peerless coffin. At this moment, all the glory and successes had nothing to do with him. Perhaps dying was a release for Duan Jingyang.

In front of the mourning hall, Xiao Yuxuan slowly burned the paper money as tears welled up in his eyes. According to Ji Jouping, Duan Jingyang's body was not damaged at all by swords, and he had undoubtedly committed suicide. However, he did not believe that Duan Jingyang would leave Duan Mu Yan behind and leave without a care in the world. All of these things made him suspicious!

"Ping Wang, you have been guarding here for the entire day. It's getting late, you should also go back and rest. All you need to do is to have the servants here." A court lady dressed like a eunuch walked to Xiao Yuxuan's side and said worriedly.

It was time to bring food to Mu Yan, but he did not know how to face Duan Mu Yan, nor did he know how to tell her about this grievous news, so he could not say a word. Xiao Yuxuan dejectedly walked towards the Sky Prison after leaving the Ting Residence.

Inside the Sky Prison, Duan Mu Yan silently leaned against a corner, feeling increasingly depressed in her heart. That indescribable restlessness caused her to be extremely anxious.

"Why did you only just return!?" I was waiting for you to change shifts. How about it? The guard opened his mouth as he took out the key and handed it to guard.

"Damn!" You don't know how luxurious the palace is, and how it shines with gold everywhere. It's so piercing that I can't even open my eyes. " Prison guard B excitedly said.

"Which consort is dead this time?" Murder or murder? It's not easy to be a woman in the palace. If you keep losing your life, you might as well be a prison guard. " The guard replied.

"You guessed wrong this time!" Prison guard B looked around and continued.

"This time, it's not some concubine, but the First Prince! When Elder Ji and I went there, he had a sword wound on his chest. Elder Ji said that the sword attack was a fatal injury that caused him to lose too much blood. Prison guard B could not help but shake his head.

"What did you say?" The First Prince had died? "Then …" Just as the jailer was astonished, Duan Mu Yan's disbelieving shout rang out from within the cell.

"Impossible!" Royal brother will not die! No! You're lying... Let me out! "All of you, quickly let me out …" Her pale, paper-like face was mixed with deep fear. Duan Mu Yan tightly gripped the iron bars of her cell as she shook it with all her might. Her beautiful eyes were already filled with mist.

"Qi Wangfei, you … "Don't get so worked up, I'm just talking nonsense. No one died, no one died …" The guard knew that he had misspoken so he ran into the cell and began to beg for mercy.
