Just as Duan Muyan had predicted, Su Jin Xiu hesitated for a long time before finally sitting down. However, she didn't receive the tea from Duan Moyan's hands.
"Speak, what conditions?" Su Jin didn't want to have any more interactions with Duan Mu Yan. She only wanted to know if her condition was worth it for her to make this deal with her. After all, marrying Xiao Jin Feng was her life's greatest wish.
"With a lover as a family, I can help you fulfill your dream, but you have to help me and Yuxuan!" What Duan Mu Yan said made Su Jin feel that it was true. She was very clear on how strong the relationship between Duan Mu Yan and Xiao Yu Xuan was. If it was for her love, Duan Mu Yan might ignore the unhappiness they had previously.
"I'm just a maid, how could I possibly help you, the Peace King? Shouldn't you think too highly of me?" Su Jinxiu raised her eyebrows.
"It's very simple. As long as you help me send a message every time you go to the imperial palace, and help me beg for mercy after you marry Xiao Jingfeng, there might be hope for Yuxuan and I …" Duan Mu Yan sighed lightly, then he looked towards Su Jin Xiu with a pleading look in his eyes.
"What do you mean enter the palace?" "She doesn't understand what you mean …" Su Jin was momentarily at a loss for words. Duan Mu Yan knew far more than she had imagined.
If it wasn't for Duan Zitong guiding you from behind, I believe you wouldn't have dared to frame me. I can let this go, now that things have progressed to this point, I just want to live the rest of my life peacefully with the person I love. As long as you agree, our deal is done! "If you object, I will also treat it as though you have never stepped onto this threshold. Whether you want to go or leave it up to you …" Even though the final decision was in Su Jinxiu's hands, but from start to finish, Duan Muyan had the initiative. Especially now, Su Jinxiu could not even think of a reason to reject it.
"Are you absolutely sure?" Su Jin Xiu looked suspiciously at Duan Mu Yan. Although she loved Xiao Jin Feng, she knew very well that Xiao Jin Feng did not love her. This was the truth.
"You agreed?" Her cherry lips started to smile, and the light in her eyes caused Su Jin Xiu to subconsciously shudder.
"I believe you won't take the Ping Wang's happiness as a joke. If I don't get what I deserve, you won't get what you want!" Su tried his best to look confident.
"It's a deal. Here is a piece of clothing for you to take back. When the time is right, I will have Yao'er notify you to wear it. Success or failure will depend on whether you're sincere or not with Xiao Lingfeng!" As Duan Mu Yan spoke, she stood up and walked to the bed, carrying the clothes that she had prepared earlier and returned to Su Jin's side.
"Seems like you're prepared?" If Duan Mu Yan hadn't given her conditions related to Xiao Yuxuan, she definitely wouldn't have agreed. However, this time, she wanted to gamble, and even if Duan Ling Tian helped her, it would be only to use her as a tool to deal with Duan Mu Yan. It was simply impossible for Duan Ling Tian to help her become the consort of the Qi King. The opportunity was right in front of her, and she didn't want to miss it. The moment she received the clothes, Su Jin Xiu decided to believe that this was the only time Duan Mu Yan would be able to do so.
"Don't worry, I, Duan Mu Yan, am not a person who goes back on my words. It's best that no one discovers this set of clothes, you know …" Duan Muyan spoke softly, her eyes shining with splendor.
After Su Jin Xiu left, Yao'er and Zi Min walked in from outside.
"Esteemed wangfei, does Su Jin Xiu suspect you in the slightest?" Zi Min looked suspiciously at Duan Mu Yan.
"It seems that she really loves Xiao Jingfeng. With her intelligence, she actually believed that I would forgive her. It seems that women are all idiots in front of love!" She would never forgive anyone for harming her.
"Princess, we've already prepared for you. The old hag Feng Guihua over there, everyone calls her Sister Hua, has already promised us that as long as you appear to intimidate her, she will set up a stage for you at the Spring Festival. With your peerless appearance, I believe that even if you want to leave, she might not be willing to let you go …" Yao'er said confidently.
"Spring Festival …" It should be the biggest brothel in the Imperial City, right? " Duan Mu Yan slightly nodded.
That's right, there is also a number one person there, called Leng Bing Xin, who lives at the top floor of the Ju Xian Pavilion. Furthermore, she has an agreement with the old procuress that they have to perform at the main hall every 15 months, and the rest of the time, whether she can accept customers or not depends on her preferences. Zi Min answered truthfully.
I think that after we finish our breakfast, Xiao Liefeng will go to court. Before noon, we can go to the Spring Festival, but we must come back to eat lunch first, and during this period of dinner, we must stay at the Xiao Mansion. After that, we can go out, and we have to be extremely careful … " Duan Mu Yan initially wanted to take action after finishing off Su Jin's embroidery, but she really couldn't wait any longer.
"We can discuss this with Feng Guihua. As long as the wangfei has set a time, Yao`er will handle it!" Yao'er resolutely said.
"Time... "Then, let's do it three days from now!" Duan Moyan's gaze was cold, her every word like ice. Just as Zi Min and Yao'er were receiving their orders, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
"Esteemed wangfei, it's the prince …" Hearing Xiao Jingfeng's footsteps, Zi Min hurriedly said.
"He came at the perfect time. You should leave first …" Duan Mu Yan waved her hands, indicating for Yao'er and Zi Min to leave as the light in her eyes became increasingly profound.
Just as Xiao Jingfeng was about to knock on the door, Yao'er pushed it open before him and looked at him in surprise.
"What a coincidence! Yao'er pays her respects to the prince … " Zi Min saw Yao'er bow and bent over her.
"Ugh …" "Esteemed wangfei, she …" Xiao Jingfeng was momentarily at a loss for words, and hesitated.
"Reporting to the prince, the wangfei is inside, Yao'er and Zi Min will take their leave …" After Yao'er shut her mouth, she tactfully pulled Zi Min away.
Seeing Yao'er and Zi Min's backs facing him as they left, Xiao Lingfeng could not help but feel gratified. At the very least, after Yao'er and Zi Min had entered the residence, Duan Mu Yan had someone to speak with.
"Chenqie pays her respect to Your Highness." While Xiao Jin Feng was lost in his thoughts, Duan Mu Yan had already arrived at the entrance of the main hall.
"Mu Yan, there's no need to be so courteous in the future. There are no outsiders here, are you feeling better these few days?" Xiao Jingfeng tried to make himself look less nervous.
"Fortunately, with Yao'er and the others accompanying you, your life won't be so boring. Your Highness, please come in." After which, she walked over to the table and poured Xiao Lingfeng a cup of hot tea.
"That's good …" Xiao Lingfeng lightly nodded his head, and then received the cup of hot tea from Duan Mu Yan before slowly sitting down.
"Does Your Highness have a concubine?" Seeing that Xiao Lingfeng wanted to say something, but hesitated, Duan Mu Yan suspiciously asked.
"Ugh …" "No, I just wanted to take a look. I was relieved to see that you were fine." Xiao Lingfeng's gaze drifted away, but it wasn't directed straight at Duan Mu Yan.
"There are some things that chenqie doesn't know if she should say or not, but it really makes me feel uncomfortable holding it in …" Duan Mu Yan sat beside Xiao Jin Feng and pursed her lips.
"Mu Yan, tell me …" Xiao Jingfeng slightly raised his sword-like brows and quietly listened.
"Actually, Your Highness came over from the rear courtyard ancestral hall, right? Ever since Mu Yan returned to the manor, her highness had been going to the ancestral hall to pay respects to her first wife every night. Duan Mu Yan asked two questions in a row, leaving Xiao Jin Feng speechless.
Your Highness, do not misunderstand my meaning, your consort wants to say, every time you pay your respects to my main wife, can you call me your concubine? Although Mu Yan was not able to meet my main wife, Mu Yan knows that my main wife has a deep affection for you, and even though she cannot serve you by my side, I hope that you will be happy, so my concubine believes that my main wife is willing to see my concubine. " A sparkling light flickered in her eyes.
"Mu Yan... "Thank you!" Xiao Lingfeng emotionally replied to Duan Mu Yan. An indescribable warmth filled his heart as he thought back to his various actions back then. He regretted his actions back then.
Xiao Lingfeng did not stay in Duan Mu Yan's room for long as he could tell that Duan Mu Yan was not prepared to accept him. When Xiao Jin Feng left, Duan Mu Yan's gaze turned colder and colder, and her waist started to ache. She hadn't forgotten how Xiao Jin Feng protected Su Jin Xiu and how he hurt herself that day.
"Are you sincere?" The sudden voice caused Duan Mu Yan to retract her thoughts and shut the door tightly. She could hear the voice.
"It's rare for Palace Master to have the privilege of visiting such a humble house, but Mu Yan is greatly flattered …" Her red clothes were still elegant, and her purple hair was still flowing. Shangguan Wuye was surprised by Duan Mu Yan's attitude, even if there was no surprise, he should at least be surprised.
"Are you flattered? I can't see it, why? Aren't you afraid that Xiao Jin Feng will turn back and catch him? " Shangguan Wu Ye curiously sized up Duan Mu Yan. Compared to before, the current Duan Mu Yan did not have much melancholy nor was she as mysterious as before.
"Are we in bed? If not, how could he catch the traitor? It was just his old friend reminiscing about the past, and it didn't seem to be as serious as the Palace Mistress had said, right? Of course, if the Mistress is afraid, then please leave now … " Although this person was righteous and evil, at the very least, he had never hurt her. If he wasn't Duan Xingyi's friend, Duan Mu would definitely think of a way to take him in as a friend, but now, she could only feign allegiance, and perhaps one day, it might be useful.
"What a good old friend to reminisce about the past. It's such an honor for Wu Ye …" Shangguan Wu Ye pursed his lips, lifting Hong Chang and sitting opposite of Duan Mu Yan.
"If not for Yue Hua Palace's help last time, Mu Yan would definitely be unable to escape death and would definitely be extremely grateful towards this. If Asgard Master wishes to request a reward, Mu Yan will definitely not bargain as long as Asgard Master asks for it." He was certain that the first time he saw Duan Mu Yan, her beautiful eyes were as pure as crystal, which was why he wanted to possess her. But now, Duan Mu Yan's eyes were so deep, so deep that no one could see through her thoughts. Shangguan Wu Ye sighed to himself.
"I remember what I told you before. Naturally, someone would come to repay you for your kindness. This is a rouge pill of Hundred Blossom Pill, it can cure all poisons. If you carry it with you, it will come in handy!" As he spoke, Shangguan Wuye took out a white porcelain bottle and lightly placed it in front of Duan Mu Yan.
"It's Duan Xingyi?" If you take it back, I won't accept any more of his favors! " The expression in Duan Muyan's eyes gradually turned cold as she resolutely stated this.
"I knew it would turn out like this. Even if I gave it to you, how about you return this favor to me in the future?" "Don't forget what happened in the Heavenly Prison, it's clear that someone wants your life. If you don't care about your life, you definitely won't accept this Hundred Blossom Pill …" Shangguan Wuye's jade fingers wrapped around his purple hair in front of his chest, and he raised his eyebrows as he spoke.
