"Royal Consort … Your revenge wouldn't be against him, right? " Zi Min walked over to Duan Mu Yan's side and asked suspiciously. Duan Mu Yan remained silent as she turned her gaze onto Yao'er.

"Yao'er, when we were in the Single Moon Restaurant, I told you the whole story. Based on your analysis, who is the person I want to take revenge on?" Duan Muyan's eyes flickered, as though she had a deeper meaning behind her words.

"Please forgive me for being stupid. Yao`er, I only thought of the layer of Su Jin's embroidery …" In fact, she had not only thought of Su Jin Xiu, she had also thought of Duan Zitong, Duan Xingyi, and even Duan Chen. However, there were some words that she wouldn't say even if they were rotten in her stomach.

"I've been at the Xiao manor for such a long time. What do you think about Su Jin Xiu?" Duan Mu Yan knew that Yao'er was holding back, but she did it in good faith. With her current abilities, she could only allow Su Jin Xiu to receive the punishment she deserved.

"I don't care what she is like, the person who harmed you is not a good person anyway!" Compared to Yao'er, Confucius Min thought things were much simpler.

"Yao'er can only say that this person has a meticulous mind. Ever since you, Consort Wang, brought us into the palace, this Su Jin Xiu has never confronted us head on. However, Yao'er knows that in the dark, she has secretly inquired about our origins more than once, probably because she wants to know who we are." Yao'er wanted to say something but hesitated. She turned her gaze towards Duan Moyan.

"I don't mind speaking bluntly …" Duan Moyan pursed her lips. She really wanted to know Yao'er's opinion on this matter.

"Furthermore, Yao'er has noticed that she seems to have a special interest in the prince's daily life. This concern has already surpassed her duty as a servant." Yao'er calmly analyzed.

"Really?" How dare she?! " Kong Ziming asked in surprise.

"Of course she dares! If she didn't have this selfish desire, how could she have killed Qiu Yue and framed an imperial concubine?!" Yao'er thought that her goal was the imperial concubine! Actually, Yao'er was thinking, did Su Jin's idea really only appear after you entered the Xiao family? Or perhaps, she's just been looking forward to Chu Shirou's death! " Yao'er dared to speculate, every word seemed to seep into Duan Mu Yan's heart.

"Yao'er … Hearing you say this, I also feel that some things are too coincidental. That main wife Chu Shirou died just in time. Kong Ziming asked doubtfully.

At this moment, Duan Mu Yan's long, shapely eyebrows suddenly trembled. Why hadn't she thought of this? With Su Jin's temperament and ambition, her thoughts of being the consort of the Qi King were definitely not temporary.

"Esteemed wangfei, are you going to let Su Jin Xiu continue being so arrogant? She doesn't even put you in her eyes! No! I'll go and teach her a lesson now! " Confucius Min stood up in anger, but when she lifted her foot, Yao'er pushed her back into her seat.

"Zi Min, don't be rash. I believe that the wangfei should have a way to deal with you. Don't ruin her business just because of your recklessness!" Yao'er solemnly stated as her gaze shifted to Duan Mu Yan.

"Yao'er, Zi Min, I don't care if she covets the position of Princess Qi, but I cannot forgive her for killing Qiu Yue. No matter what, Qiu Yue died for me. I must seek justice for her!" Duan Mu Yan's words were like ice as his hands clenched into fists.

"Princess, what should we do?" Yao'er doubtfully asked.

"Didn't she want to become the Qi Wangfei? I'll help her!" Under her curled eyelashes, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold. Duan Mu Yan's words couldn't help but cause Yao'er and Zi Min to look at each other in dismay.

"Esteemed wangfei, Zi Min doesn't understand what you mean. If you want her to be the wangfei, then isn't that just a petty thing to do?" Kong Ziming said in a disapproving manner.

"Does the princess want to put her life on the line? It's not like this isn't a solution, but it's just that it's not easy to push Su Jinxiu into the position of first wife. Furthermore, the Qi King had to make some sacrifices, Yao'er can see that the Qi King had to put in a lot of effort for you, Royal Concubine. " Yao'er hesitantly opened her mouth to speak, her long, shapely eyebrows knitted together.

"Mind? "His heart was used too late. Mufei held a grudge. Imperial brother died miserably, do you think I still need that insignificant heart!?" The corners of her lips curled up into a strange smile. Right now, Duan Mu Yan was only living for the sake of revenge.

"Does Princess Hua-Yang have a specific plan?" What do you want us to do? " Yao'er nodded slightly and firmly said.

"Yao'er, go prepare two identical sets of clothes. Zi Min, help me get some strong alcohol that will make people drunk with a single sip. You have to be strong!" A layer of frost gradually covered the bottom of her heart.

"Yes sir!" After Yao'er and Zi Min received their orders, they left the room, leaving only Duan Mu Yan in the room. Qiu Yue, don't worry. I will make Su Jin's death miserable … …

For seven or eight consecutive days, Xiao Yuxuan had been tightly entangled by Duan Zitong. Moreover, his Tutor Hall had an additional ten imperial guards guarding it for no reason at all.

"Yu Xuan, what are you thinking about?" Duan Zitong kept the wolf hair in her hand and raised her head to look at Xiao Yuxuan's thoughtful expression.

"Ugh …" No, how did the Seventh Princess do? " Xiao Yu Xuan wiped away the worry in his eyes and shifted his gaze to the second half of the couplet. Even though he didn't like Duan Zitong, he had to admit that he was indeed an extremely intelligent woman.

"Please advise me, Imperial Tutor …" When Duan Ziteng saw Xiao Yuxuan's gaze on the xuan paper, he naturally picked it up and passed it over to Xiao Yuxuan. His fingers caressed Xiao Yuxuan's wrist unintentionally, causing Duan Zitong's heart to tremble.

"That's right. Finished today's lesson, Princess, please go back and rest." Xiao Yuxuan subconsciously retreated a few steps and respectfully spoke.

"It's still early. How about you teach me how to play the flute, Yuxuan …" Although she really wanted to confess, she couldn't startle the snake to death. She knew that there was only one chance, and with Xiao Yu Xuan's personality, he definitely wouldn't give her a second chance. Therefore, no matter how impulsive she was, she wouldn't easily say what she felt.

"If the princess likes the music, it's best if the emperor invites a skilled musician. With just a few tricks, Yuxuan doesn't have the right to show off." Xiao Yuxuan rejected indifferently, his eyes calm.

"Since that's the case, let's forget about it. The time is about up. I'll go back and rest …" Duan Zitong heaved a long sigh inwardly before turning around and leaving the Tutor Hall. No matter how despicable the method was, she would make Xiao Yuxuan submit to him. Xiao Yuxuan … In the end, you belong to me, Duan Zitong.

At first, Duan Zitong wanted to return to her Phoenix Storage Pavilion, but she suddenly recalled that it had been a long time since Duan Xingyi had become Crown Prince, so she headed towards the Crown Prince Palace.

When Duan Zitong arrived at the crown prince's hall, there was no one inside, not even a eunuch on duty. This made Duan Zitong puzzled; at this hour, even if Duan Xingyi wasn't around, it was time for the eunuchs to clean up the place. Could it be that the treatment of being a crown prince was better than being a prince?!

Just as Duan Zitong was frowning as she surveyed the crown prince hall, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. Duan Zitong raised her gaze and saw Duan Xingyi walk in with a solemn expression.

"Xingyi, where did you go? Why is it that there are no eunuchs on duty in this crown prince's palace, and no one can bring tea or water when you return? Duan Zitong looked at her younger brother with a pained expression as she said indignantly.

"Ugh …" This is what I mean, now is different from the past, as the crown prince, I have to handle many things within the imperial court, and sometimes I have to bring back the imperial court to consider, so it's best not to let too many people in or out of this room, in case any secrets of the imperial court get leaked, that's why I am promoted to the position of crown prince, and do not want to attract the attention of others … " Duan Xingyi was first shocked before he revealed his signature smile as he slowly walked into the main hall and sat on the chair.

"You're right, but it's not appropriate to not even have someone to serve you. If you can't do it, I'll call Qing Lan to serve you. Qing Lan can still be considered one of us!" Duan Zitong looked at her younger brother with a pained expression as she poured a cup of green tea and passed it over.

"My royal sister, don't worry. Xingyi will take good care of himself. As for Qinglan, that's my royal sister's choice. Xingyi doesn't want to rob someone of their position." Duan Xingyi lightly sipped some tea as his voice became softer.

"You and I are siblings, aren't we …" Qing Lan will do as you wish. Oh right, I heard that royal father's health is not good. Didn't you accompany him to drink tea every day? " Duan Zitong's casual question made Duan Xingyi even more alert.

"It's all the imperial physicians' alarms, they shouldn't be real …" Duan Xingyi didn't seem to have any intention of replying. His eyes abruptly swept over Duan Zitong's face, and only after seeing her expressionless face did she heave a sigh of relief.

"It would be great if it was just a rumor. You're only at the position of crown prince now. If anything happens to royal father at this time, it will inevitably affect you …" Duan Zitong turned around and sat opposite of Duan Xingyi as he said this worriedly.

"My royal sister is overthinking it, my royal father is in great health, there is no need for my royal sister to worry about this. My royal sister is the one who is worried about this, Xing Yi can tell that Xiao Yuxuan has Duan Moyan in his heart all along, I wonder what royal sister is planning to do?" Duan Xingyi asked straightforwardly. If Xiao Yuxuan were to fall into Duan Zitong's hands one day, he would undoubtedly cause his to completely give up on him.

"Haste makes waste, but don't worry. Even if ten or twenty years have passed, Xiao Yuxuan will eventually be mine!" Duan Zitong gritted her teeth.

"Imperial Sis is really infatuated with him. Actually, it would be a good idea to have Royal Father grant marriage. If Royal Sister-in-waiting is too embarrassed to tell Royal Father, Xingyi is willing to help." Duan Xingyi probed.

"It's still too early, let's talk about it in the future. On the other hand, you should pay more attention to your rest. It's getting late, you should rest early …" Duan Zitong left the Crown Prince's Palace after instructing the others.

The very next second after Duan Zitong left, Duan Xingyi dashed towards the door and closed it tightly. She then strode across the main hall and walked straight to the inner room. Before Duan Xingyi could raise her hand, the wall behind the bed suddenly creaked, and not long after, the entrance to a secret room appeared on the wall.

"Your subordinate greets Master!" Ye Li walked in from the secret room and respectfully bowed.

"Dig through?" Duan Xingyi asked suspiciously.

"Reporting to my master, it was dug up one second before Duan Zitong arrived. Your subordinate guarantees that she didn't hear anything." Actually, Ye Li had started digging out two tunnels from the desolated room behind the Spring Festival Gym the day Duan Xingyi became the crown prince. With the Spring Festival as the transition point, the eastern side led directly to the crown prince's palace, while the western side had already dug out the outskirts of the imperial city.

"Good thing I didn't hear that. I don't want to get rid of this chess piece yet. By the way, how has Bing-Er been these days?" Still in a bad mood? " Cold Ice Heart was an elite of the Dark Group that he personally raised. If he died that day, he would naturally feel heartbroken.
