"The palace gates are right in front of us. If you want to leave, that's enough. Farewell!" Qing Lan did not want to argue with him, she turned around immediately, but in the next second, her entire body fell into Qian Ru Ming's embrace. Before she could react, Qian Ru Ming's thin lips suddenly fell on Qing Lan's cherry lips, the sudden change left her completely stunned. Just as she was about to curse angrily, Qian Ru Ming took the opportunity to stick his tongue into Qing Lan's mouth, sucking with all his might, just a kiss, and he was unable to stop himself!

"Ugh …" The pain caused Qian Ruming to retreat a few steps away from Qing Lan. Even though blood was trickling from his lips, Qian Ruming seemed to not want to let it go.

"Money is my life!" "You're courting death!" Qing Lan didn't want to be insulted, so she drew her sword and rushed forward.

"Wait a moment. If Miss Qing Lan is not afraid of attracting guards, Ru Ming is really willing to exchange a few blows with Miss Qing Lan …" Qian Ru Ming slowly wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. The light in her eyes became darker. He knew that this woman was his dish. Moreover, she was her favorite dish.

"You! I will definitely get my revenge! " Qing Lan spoke out angrily before she turned around to leave. Looking at her back, Qian Ru Ming couldn't help but sneer at her. "Qing Zhiling!" One day, I'll make you lie down on my bed.

That night, when Housekeeper Zhou brought the dishes to Duan Muyan's room, he was sitting in front of the dressing table.

"Royal Consort … Old Slave... "Sorry, I made you suffer …" Zhou Jing put down the tray, choked with emotions, and was about to kneel on the ground.

"Housekeeper Zhou..." It was Mu Yan who implicated you. If not for defending Mu Yan, you wouldn't have been left empty-handed. " Ever since she came back, Duan Muyan could feel that Su Jin was in charge of all the affairs in the mansion.

"Compared to wangfei, this old servant is nothing. If I hadn't been careless and handed the package of medicine to Zhao Yuxu, I wouldn't have put wangfei in prison." Zhou Jing was filled with tears, grief and indignation.

"Housekeeper Zhou..." Do you really believe that I didn't kill Autumn Moon? " The light in Duan Muyan's eyes sparkled as he spoke in a gentle voice.

"This old servant knows wangfei's character very well. You think Qiu Yue is your own little sister, so how could you possibly kill her? This old servant knows that you were framed, but this old servant … " Zhou Jing said guiltily.

"That's enough. As long as there is one person in this world who believes in me, Mu Yan will not be the only one. Housekeeper Zhou, thank you!" Duan Moyan's voice became more and more shaky. Ashe spoke, she was about to kneel down and kneel down!

"I can't accept this …" Esteemed wangfei, this is old servant Qu Sha being! " Zhou Han quickly supported Duan Mu Yan up, panicking as he spoke.

"Housekeeper Zhou, this is what you deserve. Even Mu Yan's biological father did not believe in Mu Yan's innocence. Your trust gave Mu Yan the courage to survive. How can she not thank you?" Duan Mu Yan slightly bent her body as she deeply bowed to Zhou Jing.

"This old servant can't take it …" "Esteemed wangfei, quickly eat something. You must be hungry after tormenting yourself for the entire day!" Zhou Jun secretly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said with a pained heart.

"There's no rush. Housekeeper Zhou, I want to see Zhao Yuxu …" Duan Muyan pleaded in a gentle voice.

"Esteemed wangfei, are you trying to investigate …" Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Duan Mu Yan.

I just want to check out Zhao Lang's place. It's already so late, I don't want to alarm the embroidery, but you know, I just got back to the palace, and I just went to find Zhao Lang before dinner. If I look for him now, people will think that I did it on purpose, with my current situation, it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble, and also … "Royal brother just left. I really can't stay any longer, so I might as well take a walk and relax my mind …" Duan Muyan's eyes were misty as she spoke in a gentle voice.

"Since that's the case, then this old man shall accompany you. I have nothing to do in the palace anyway!" "Esteemed wangfei, you should eat something first …" Zhou Jing advised.

"No, Steward Zhou. I don't want the rest of the family to know. Take a look and see if there's anyone out there. We'll go now …" As Duan Mu Yan spoke, she took off her robe and tied it around her shoulders.

At this moment, Zhou Jing had already left the room. In Duan Moyan's eyes, Zhou Jing was the only person she could trust. Qiu Yue was already dead, and she had to find her trusted aides. There were some things that a single person could not accomplish.

Under Zhou Jing's guidance, Duan Moyan left through the back door of the Xiao manor. If it wasn't for Zhou Jing, she really wouldn't have known that the Xiao manor had such an unsightly back door.

After walking for almost an hour, Zhou Jun stopped at the Keats Medical Center.

"Esteemed wangfei, this is Zhao Yuxu's infirmary. Please wait a moment, this old servant will call for you!" As Zhou Jing spoke, he walked to the front of the infirmary. After patting twice, he heard a sound coming from inside.

"Who is it?"

"Duke Xiao Palace, Housekeeper Zhou …" Zhou Jing replied. Along with the creaking sound of the door opening, Duan Mu Yan, borrowing the moonlight, saw a lady in plain clothes walking out. Her appearance was elegant and charming, perhaps due to her pregnancy, but she appeared slightly fat.

"Oh, it's Steward Zhou. You wanted to meet with Yu Xun and his subordinate, so why are you here personally?" The woman's voice was gentle and graceful.

"This old man didn't come alone, this person is Qi Wangfei …" While Zhou Jing was speaking, Duan Mu Yan had already walked to the side of the woman.

"Ugh …" Wife Zhao Feng kowtows to see Qi Wangfei … " The woman was slightly embarrassed but she still bowed respectfully.

"Since you are pregnant, you should skip these vulgar rituals. The wind outside is strong, why don't I go in and chat?" Duan Mu Yan frowned as she spoke, her voice gentle.

"Look at me …" "Imperial Concubine, please come in. Steward Zhou, please come in …" Mrs Zhao Feng opened the door and respectfully gestured for the two to enter.

Seeing that his wife had not returned for a long time, the moment Zhao Yuxu walked out of the inner room, he saw Duan Mu Yan standing right in front of him. His heart skipped a beat.

"This lowly one pays his respects to Princess Qi …" Zhao Yuzhe choked and cupped her hands in greeting. Duan Mu Yan did not reply and simply sat on the armchair, while Zhou Jun followed behind her. Before Duan Mu Yan could say anything, Zhao Yu Xun didn't dare to move. She could only wait there quietly.

"Zhao Lang, do you know why I wanted you to wait there with your hands in the air?" Duan Muyan spoke in a gentle voice, her tone filled with self-confidence, even though she wasn't angered.

"Little people... This little one doesn't know … " Zhao Yu Xun trembled as he replied. Without a doubt, if it wasn't for him settling the score with her, Zhao Yu Xun really didn't know what Duan Mu Yan was here for.

"It's freezing cold, but you let your wife open the door with her stomach puffed out. You really shouldn't! "This time around, if I see that you don't love your wife that much next time, I won't forgive you …" Duan Muyan's lips parted slightly, her voice sounding increasingly gentle.

"Wife thanks wangfei for her kindness. It's just that Darling didn't have time to spare, so I hope wangfei won't blame me …" At the side, although Madame Zhao and Madame Feng felt flattered upon hearing this, they also stepped forward in time to explain to Zhao Yuxu.

"Zhao Langzhong, listen to me. You really do have a good wife!" It won't be inconvenient for me to disturb you at such a late hour, right? " Duan Mu Yan slowly stood up and walked towards Zhao Yu Xun.

"Princess's words are too serious. If anything happens to you, I dare not delay any longer and have someone from the estate pass on the message to you." Zhao Yu Xun said in fear.

"It's nothing serious. I just feel a stifling sensation in my chest. If it's convenient for Zhao Lang, please treat Mu Yan and come up with a prescription …" Her eyes that were as beautiful as butterfly feathers looked at Zhao Yuxu, who seemed to be trembling slightly. Duan Mu Yan sneered in her heart. All those who wronged her would have to pay the price, without exception!

"Conveniently... "Esteemed wangfei, please come to the medicine hall …" Zhao Yu Xun hastily replied and respectfully led the way.

"Housekeeper Zhou, just wait here for me. It won't take long …" After Duan Mu Yan gave the orders, he followed Zhao Yu Xun to the Medicine Hall.

Duan Mu Yan quietly sat on the red lacquer chair. When she saw that Zhao Yu Xun was about to give her pulse, she withdrew her arm.

"If Zhao Lang doesn't mind, he should close the door." A profound light shone in Duan Muyan's eyes, her voice containing no hints of happiness or anger. Zhao Yuxu's heart was even more tangled, but she could only obey.

After Zhao Yuzhe closed the door to his room, he walked to Duan Mu Yan's side, only to see her stretching out her arm.

"Royal Consort … Is there anything else? " Zhao Yu Xun asked suspiciously, his voice slightly trembling.

"Zhao Yu Xun, you didn't really think I was here to see you, right? You should be clear on whether I am sick or not. Do you still need another pulse? " Duan Mu Yan's voice was as cold as an icicle, causing Zhao Yu Xun to immediately kneel on the ground.

"Esteemed wangfei, spare me …"

"Mercy? "Then I really want to know, what did you do that you wanted to kneel down and beg me for mercy?" Duan Mu Yan stared coldly at Zhao Yu Xun, her gaze devoid of any warmth.

"This... Little People... "This lowly one shouldn't have brought the bewitching incense into the court to accuse esteemed wangfei …" Zhao Yuxu crawled on the ground as his body trembled like a sieve. This was not the first time he had met Duan Mu Yan, but this time, Zhao Yu Xun felt that at this very moment, the murderous aura the woman before him was emitting was sufficient to make him tremble.

"What else? "Zhao Lang Zhong, I don't mind speaking bluntly. You should have a choice between a maidservant from the Prince's Mansion and a princess from the current dynasty. I won't force you, but I hope you won't regret your decision. She had once been very kind. It was this world that had made her understand that good people could only be trampled upon by others. After experiencing her mother's violent death in the Wilderness, her royal brother had passed away with hatred in his heart.

"Reporting to the Royal Consort … Ever since the death of the Chu Royal Consort, this lowly one had only helped Su Jinxiu three times. The first time was when Feng Xue and Cui Xin had abdominal pain. The second time was on the day of Autumn Moon's death. Su Jinxiu did not faint at all. She was faking it, but the third time … He's the one who told me to bring the incense into the court to testify … " Zhao Yuxu spoke with fear and revealed everything. He was very clear that Duan Mu Yan's capabilities could not be compared to Su Jin Xiu's.

"That's all?" Duan Mu Yan narrowed her beautiful eyes as she looked suspiciously at Zhao Yu Xun.

"To reply wangfei, this is really all … "This lowly one absolutely doesn't dare to lie to esteemed wangfei …" Zhao Yuzhe's voice became more and more shaky, and he knocked his head all the way down.

"Didn't you embroider that bewitching incense for Su Jin?" Duan Mu Yan had always thought that this was the case.

"Reporting to wangfei, this little one doesn't have the bewitching incense at 'Keats' [1]. Please enlighten me, wangfei …" If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have gone to the Xiao family and waded in this river. Zhao Yuzhe would have regretted his decision then.

"I believe you! But there's one thing. From today onwards, you don't have to decline Su Jin's request to find you for anything. Just tell me in advance and if I find out that you didn't do as I say … Some diseases are not something you can tell by the pulse number... "You know that!" Duan Mu Yan said in a gentle voice, her tone containing a trace of a chilly charm that caused Zhao Yu Xun to tremble in fear.
