"Her name is Zi Min? What did you do to her? " Although Duan Muyan's voice was soft, it contained a trace of chilliness.

"I advise you to choose someone else. This isn't your first choice …" Zhao Si disapproved and wanted to leave, but was called back by Duan Mu Yan.

"I'm only interested in her." Duan Muyan's gaze fell on Zi Min as she spoke with determination.

"Forget it, her name is Kong Ziming. You must have heard of the account department's letter, Kong Zheng, right?" Zhao Si lowered his voice and said. Although she had never seen any officials of the imperial court before, she knew that there was a high chance that she had never heard of Kong Zheng. Noticing that Duan Mu Yan didn't say anything, Zhao Si continued on his own.

"Back then, Kong Zheng had offended King Jing and was executed by the entire clan, but he was able to save a girl like this. Who would have known that after ten years, she still wanted to take revenge and sell herself to us for a hundred taels of silver just to turn the case against the Kong family for the sake of money. She didn't even think about her own weight, she could defeat King Jing on her own accord …" "Isn't that obvious? She failed and didn't pay the bill. She said she was doing odd jobs here to repay her debts. What are we doing here? She refused to accept any of the guests. That's why she did this!" Zhao Si said resentfully.

"That day, I saw you guys fighting with her on the street. I wonder how her kung fu was so much higher than yours. How could it be like this?" Before Duan Muyan could say anything, Zhou Han spoke first. He knew that there were questions in her heart, so she naturally spoke first to defend herself. He might not have taken a fancy to Zi Min, but it was out of kindness.

"There are strong individuals amongst the strong. Our Spring Festival is a place where there are hidden talents and hidden talents …" So what if she had high martial arts skills? It's only right for us to repay the debts that we owe, we didn't do anything wrong! " Zhao Si seemed to be dissatisfied.

"How much is this girl?" Although Yao'er had just gotten together with Duan Moyan, it was as if their hearts and minds were linked. Immediately, she stepped forward and supported Kong Ziming.

"Do you really choose her? This... "One thousand gold!" Zhao Si said with a guilty conscience. Such a half-dead girl was indeed not worth that much money. Duan Muyan did not reply, she only signaled Yao'er to help Zi Min leave. Behind her, Zhou Han took out a thousand taels of silver from her bosom and passed it to Zhao Si.

"This guest sure is generous …" "If you need anything in the future, feel free to come …" Zhao Si accepted the banknotes, then respectfully escorted the three of them to the Li Yi Chun Academy.

After leaving the Spring Festival, Duan Mu Yan first found a medicine hall to treat Kong Zi Min, before instructing Yao'er to get some silver to buy some decent clothes for each of them.

On the bed, when Confucius woke up, he discovered that he was lying on the bed. He immediately stood up and rushed out without caring about the pain on his body. Fortunately, Duan Mu Yan walked in just in time.

"This is the Medicine Hall, not the Spring Festival. I will use a thousand taels of silver to buy you. From now on, you have no relationship with that place, so you don't need to worry. You just need to take care of your injuries." Duan Mu Yan placed the soup on the table and asked gently.

"Why?" Kong Ziming frowned as she looked suspiciously at Duan Mu Yan. She did not think that she was worth a thousand taels of silver.

"There's no reason. I was missing a maid by my side, so I chose you …" Duan Moyan gracefully turned around and stared straight at Kong Ziming. Although her eyes were clear, they were still flickering with the light of vigilance.

"You have a better choice! "I will not be your servant. I will return a thousand taels to you!" Kong Ziming's cold voice rang out, her words resounding in the air.

"Actually, revenge is easy, but turning the tables is the stupidest way!" Duan Muyan slowly sat on a chair, calmly analyzing the situation.

"You … "What do you mean?" Kong Ziming gritted her teeth as she continued to look at Duan Mu Yan vigilantly.

"King Jing is already 18 years old. Even if you succeed in overturning the case, the current Emperor might even behead King Jing. Of course, I'm only saying that you should be very clear about the relationship between King Jing and the current Emperor!" Duan Moyan's calm words caused great waves to surge in Kong Ziming's heart.

Noticing that Kong Ziming remained silent, Duan Mu Yan continued.

"Actually, making King Jing suffer a fate worse than death is an easy thing to do. Perhaps he has done too many bad things. King Jing only has one son, whose name is Duan Rui. This person relies on his imperial family, does not study well, and is arrogant and despotic." Even so, Jing Wang still regarded Duan Rui as the treasure in his palm, and he was extremely protective. If … " Duan Mu Yan wanted to say something, but hesitated.

"If I kill Duan Rui, then King Jing will suffer a fate worse than death! "Good idea, let him have a taste of that heart-wrenching pain!" Kong Ziming's eyes were as cold as knives as she clenched her hands into fists.

"I will help you …" Duan Mu Yan looked to Kong Zimo. Compared to Yao'er, although she was less sensitive, she still possessed her own personality. Furthermore, she also possessed some martial arts. Thus, she could be considered a very capable assistant.

"You … Will it help me? " After a long while, she finally spoke, "No need, killing a relative of the imperial family is a capital offense. If Zi Min is able to leave safely, she will naturally come back to find the young lady, and she will have no complaints or regrets about being an ox or a horse, but if Zi Min is unlucky enough to be captured, she will not implicate the young lady. As for the one thousand silver taels, Zi Min will have to return it in the next life!" Kong Ziming's every word was firm, and every word was spoken from the bottom of her heart. She knew that her journey was fraught with dangers. Which of the royal relatives weren't experts? They were inseparable, but she had already planned to kill them if they didn't succeed!

Since I've already bought you, I'll be responsible for you. Don't think about anything else now, I promise you that in the near future, I'll definitely let you see Duan Rui die miserably on Xing Hua Street. How about it? Although Duan Muyan's voice was soft, it was still filled with determination. Kong Ziming stood there hesitantly, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

At this moment, Yao'er took some clothes and walked in.

"Your servant greets wangfei. These are Zimin's clothes …" Yao'er respectfully walked to Duan Moyan's side and turned her gaze towards Kong Ziming.

"I'll go out and wait for you. Yao'er, Zi Min is injured, it will be inconvenient to change her clothes. Stay here and help her." Seeing Duan Mu Yan's leisurely departing figure, Kong Ziming shifted her gaze to Yao'er.

"You called her Princess? "Who is she?" She did not stop Yao from pulling her back to the bed. Yao'er couldn't help but chuckle, placing the clothes in her hands on the bed.

"She's the Qi Wangfei, the current third princess of the emperor. In fact, I'm the same as you, she bought me today to serve as a maid. Your injuries are too severe, they're going too far!" Yao'er carefully helped Kong Ziming to remove the clothes she was wearing, worrying that something might happen to her.

"Third Princess …" That... Is she trustworthy? " She had an inexplicable favorable impression of Yao'er. At the very least, she was much more pleasing to the eyes than those from the Spring Festival.

"Shh …" She saved you, didn't she? " In about half a cup of tea's time, Confucius Min had changed into a new set of clothes. With Yao'er's dexterous hands, she had also made a flying bun for Confucius Min. Indeed, a person relies on clothes to ride on a saddle.

"Your name is Yao'er?" Confucius Min raised her eyes to look at Yao'er in the bronze mirror, and a trace of warmth rose in her heart.

"Mm …" "Alright, let's go see master …" Yao'er was very satisfied with her masterpiece. After everything was properly tidied up, she left the inner chamber together with Kong Ziming. At this moment, Duan Muyan had already been waiting for a long time in the front hall.

"Yao'er greets wangfei …" Yao'er was still bowing respectfully. This caused Duan Mu Yan to praise her. Before she had understood her temperament, Yao'er's humility and reverence was nothing more than an additional safeguard for herself. In comparison, Zi Min didn't have this kind of thought anymore.

"I've already gotten the doctor to prescribe some medicine for Min Ming. Let's go back now …" Duan Mu Yan passed the medicine on the table to Yao'er before she turned around to leave. Zhou Jun followed closely behind, and just as Yao'er was about to leave, she noticed that Zi Min wasn't leaving yet, so she reached out a hand to pull Zi Min along as they left the medicine hall.

When Duan Moyan returned to the Royal Mansion, Xiao Lingfeng wanted to send someone to look for her, but upon seeing her return, he calmed his heart down.

"Mu Yan, your body is still weak. Why don't you rest in bed?" Xiao Lingfeng hurriedly stepped forward to welcome Duan Mu Yan, both his hands naturally resting on her jade shoulders as he spoke with a pained voice.

"I've worried you, your highness. Mu Yan is just taking a walk and buying two maidservants at the same time. You haven't seen your highness yet …" Duan Moyan didn't evade Xiao Jingfeng's palm. Instead, she took advantage of the situation and leaned into his embrace, because she saw Su Jin Xiu.

Yao'er and Zi Min didn't dare to be careless. They took a step forward and bowed.

"Your servant, Yao'er, pays her respects to Your Highness!"

"Your servant, Zi Min, kowtows to the prince …" Xiao Lingfeng's eyes swept over Yao'er and Zi Min as she slightly nodded her head.

"All of you, get up. Since it's the wangfei who has taken a fancy to them, there's no mistaking it. In the future, all of you should stay by her side and take care of her. If anything happens to her, this prince won't spare you …" As he spoke, Xiao Jin Feng supported Duan Mu Yan to the main hall.

"You haven't even eaten lunch, have you? The kitchen is ready, let's go in! " Since he had already taken the first step, he would persevere and persevere on, for his own sake, as well as for the sake of Duan Mu Yan.

Contrary to Duan Mu Yan's expectations, the beautiful embroidery that served Xiao Jin Feng's meals were replaced by Feng Xue. Without a doubt, Xiao Jin Feng was looking after Su Jin Xiu's emotions. It seemed like Su Jin Xiu was acting out a good show last night.

The cold wind whistled, and the snow covered the sky. The snow in the Badlands seemed to have started falling more frequently. The fluttering snowflakes were like butterflies with their wings cut off, fluttering all over the place, eventually drifting up and down.

When Su Jin Xiu appeared in the Phoenix Storage Pavilion, Duan Zitong was slightly surprised.

"Embroidery, ah. You are going to become a Phoenix Storage Pavilion for a long time. Say it, what is it?" Duan Zitong lazily sat on the imperial concubine's seat with three furnaces placed on either side of her. These days, she had only focused on getting close to Xiao Yuxuan and had forgotten about Duan Mu Yan.

"In reply to Princess, ever since Duan Mu Yan returned to the Xiao manor, her entire person seemed to have changed. Not only did she match Wang Yan's words to her words, she even showed goodwill. This servant thinks that there must be a conspiracy behind it, and today, she even bought two maidservants from outside the manor. She knew that what she said had no meaning at all, but she was still worried about Duan Mu Yan's actions and was extremely worried about her worries.

"What else?" Duan Zitong narrowed her phoenix eyes. There was no warmth in the light. She didn't think that Su Jinxiu had come to the palace so late to talk about these trivial matters.

"Reporting to the princess … Perhaps Duan Moyan is planning her revenge, this servant is worried … " Without waiting for Su Jin Xiu to finish speaking, Duan Zitong suddenly stood up and walked towards Su Jin Xiu with a sway. Her dark eyes became increasingly icy cold.
