"Pear Blossom Pavilion?" Yao'er didn't understand.

"That's right, I want to establish my own organization, and the name of this organization is Pear Blossom Pavilion. Yao'er, you and Zi Min are my hands, and the success or failure of the Pear Blossom Pavilion depends on you! " Duan Mu Yan tightly held Yao'er's hand as she earnestly asked.

"Rest assured, Master. Yao'er is willing to go through fire and water for Master, and will not refuse!" Yao'er immediately knelt in front of Duan Mu Yan, showing her understanding.

Snow silently covered the boundless earth. The cold wind whistled, engulfing the entire sky, winter's snowy night was always enough to make one feel endless sadness. Duan Mu Yan quietly opened the inner chamber's window, allowing the cold wind to blow against her, and the white snow to cover her face without feeling anything.

Mufei, royal brother! Where are you? Mu Yan missed you two so much …

Tears rolled down Duan Moyan's face as the snow melted. Right at the moment when Duan Moyan's heart was aching in pain, a handsome, devilishly charming face appeared in front of her.

Her face was as enchanting as usual, as calm as usual. The slanting sea of water swirled with a brilliant luster in the cold wind, and her purplish-red long robe fluttered in the wind. When they first met, Duan Muyan would definitely think that she was looking at a god descending from heaven.

"What is it? You are so surprised that you can't even speak? " Duan Xingyi pursed his lips and smiled sinisterly. He was clearly extraordinary, but he still made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Speechless, Duan Muyan turned around and silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she turned around, Duan Xingyi was already seated at the table.

"I don't seem to have let His Highness in. Furthermore, it does not seem logical for His Highness to barge into Mu Yan's room. " Duan Mu Yan's gaze turned cold like an icicle.

"My royal sister, why are you so angry? Xingyi only came here to comfort my royal sister, he only heard people laughing and never crying. I didn't expect the rumors outside to be true, Xingyi thought that ever since the crown prince left, you and King Qi would be flying together …" As her slender jade-like hands fiddled with the jade pendant at her waist, Duan Xingyi's sword-like eyebrows slightly raised. His sharp gaze became increasingly resplendent.

"Are you here to mock Mu Yan?" Duan Moyan sat coldly on the opposite side, her cold eyes as sharp as awls.

"Where did the sarcasm come from? Xingyi just doesn't understand. royal father has already given royal sister a bright path, why does royal sister insist on returning to Prince Xiao's Mansion? Does royal sister regret the consequences that have befallen her?" He had no purpose for coming here, he had only come to visit Duan Muyan. After their last meeting, he had also visited the Xiao Prince's manor, but had never revealed himself. Other than asking Shangguan Wuye to present a Hundred Blossom Pill to her, he had practically never appeared in front of his.

"Regret? Mu Yan did not forget who forced Mu Yan to get married to Qi Wang back then. Only now did she ask whether she regretted it or not, and whether it would be too late … " Duan Mu Yan disapproved.

"That day, royal father ordered that Xingyi had no other choice." Duan Xingyi's gaze dimmed. If he had known at that time that his emotional roots were so deep, he might not be as worried as he was now.

"Therefore, what royal father had instructed Mu Yan to do, was never any open road. Rather than following the rules, it would be better to step onto a path that is clear and bright for you. Even if it is rugged or bumpy, it is Mu Yan's own choice." Each and every word of Duan Mu Yan left Duan Xingyi at a loss for words.

"Could it be that you really do allow Xiao Jin Feng to take Su Jin's embroidery as a concubine?" Not to mention whether or not you're loving me, what face do you have? " Duan Xingyi's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together as he hastily spoke.

"Forget about face, I beg for a hundred years of love. If I were a little more magnanimous, then the estrangement between us from before might disappear like smoke in thin air. It would be good for all of us!" Her clear eyes remained calm and serene as she leisurely stood up and walked to the window. The wind and snow assaulted her once again, and the coldness in her heart was even colder than ice and snow.

"If you don't want to be such a bad guy, I can help you. Su Jin Xiu is seducing the Prince, and her punishment is death!" Duan Xingyi didn't want Duan Mu Yan to be in such an awkward position, and furthermore, he didn't want her to get rid of her grudge with Xiao Jin Feng.

"Your Highness, you seem to meddle too much in my affairs." Your Highness, you seem to care too much in my affairs. Duan Muyan turned around, her ice-cold eyes staring straight into Duan Xingyi's eyes. At this moment, Duan Muyan's heart was trembling. This wasn't the first time she'd seen such a gaze, but it was also the first time she'd felt such feelings.

"Cough, cough …" Since royal sister thinks that Xingyi is too nosy, then Xingyi will just ignore it. " He could not let Duan Mu Yan see any flaws in his plan. Compared to the past, he was not sure if Duan Mu Yan knew the reaction of his heart. Since he had failed to accomplish anything big, he would definitely not take the risk.

"If I'm not mistaken, Shangguan Wuye's Hundred Blossom Pills were sent over by you?" Why? Seems like Duan Zitong is your royal sister? " Her watery eyes stared fixedly at Duan Xingyi's pupils. Duan Mu Yan wanted to clearly see the change in Duan Xingyi's expression, even if it was the smallest of changes. She must still see that if Duan Xingyi had feelings for her, then that would be the greatest joke in the world!

"What does Imperial Sis want to say?" Was it because he felt that Xing Yi's care was unnecessary? Or do you think that Xing Yi has some sort of ulterior motive? " Duan Xingyi put away his previous solemn expression and his thin lips curled up into a charming smile.

"Only His Highness the Crown Prince knows." Duan Mu Yan coldly replied. Inwardly, she was on guard. What other intentions did he have? Did he discover something?

"Alright, since royal sister feels that Xingyi is too nosy, then let Xingyi leave. As for the affair of the Qi King …" "Since even royal sister is so happy, then Xing Yi will advise royal father to calm down so that he won't be so kind as to do naughty things …" Duan Xingyi's sword-like eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly flashed away. Before Duan Muyan could react, she had already disappeared.

The snowstorm gradually intensified, and the huge snowflakes fluttered about like torn cotton. As she watched Duan Xingyi's departing figure, the glint in her eyes grew colder and colder.

The Imperial Palace's Phoenix Storage Pavilion.

Su Jin Xiu trembled as she stood at the side. Her gaze was downcast and she did not dare to raise her eyes to look at Duan Zitong.

"Embroidery, you are really putting on airs. If I did not invite you, I'm afraid that I would not be able to see you for quite some time …" Duan Zitong lightly lifted her jade-like hand and used the tea cap to knock away the floating tea stem.

"This servant is also very loyal to the princess, I have no second thoughts!" Upon hearing her voice, Su Jinxiu immediately kneeled on the ground. Her face turned pale and her body trembled like a sieve.

"What are you afraid of? Did you really do something to let me down? Say it? "Don't wait for me to ask …" Duan Zitong slightly raised her serene eyes, her voice icy cold and without warmth.

"Embroidery..." "I wonder what the princess is referring to …" Su Jinxiu subconsciously lowered her eyes and choked on herself. Just when she was hesitating about whether she should report the truth or not, suddenly, with a 'pa' sound, Duan Zitong ruthlessly threw the teacup in her hand, allowing the pieces to scatter all over the floor.

"Princess, have mercy …" Su Jin Xiu was startled, then she kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Mercy, what is the use of having an unfaithful dog?! Su Jin Xiu, do you think I, as a princess, does not know what you have done? Duan Zitong snapped, her dark eyes like a sheet of ice.

Just as Qing Lan entered from outside, Su Jin Xiu was at a loss and opened her mouth.

"Princess!" "Actually, it was all because of Duan Moyan's idea that Jinyan was able to stay with the Qi King. She agreed to help this servant take the position of first wife on the condition that she would send a message to the Prince. Princess, Duan Moyan wants to elope with him …" Su Jin Xiu had no other choice. At least for now, she was just a lowly slave servant. Even if Duan Zitong killed her, no one would pursue the matter.

Speechless, Duan Zitong raised her gaze to look at Qing Lan. Qing Lan naturally understood what she meant and slowly retreated out of the room.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Get up …" Her heart, however, felt as if it had been viciously tugged by someone. The intense pain reminded her that it was not enough to only look at Xiao Yuxuan, and she agreed to that sentence. She was not afraid of thieves, only afraid of thieves.

"Servant …" "I don't dare …" Su Jinxiu cowered as she kneeled there. She couldn't help but feel regret in her heart. If she hadn't provoked this fierce tiger back then, she wouldn't have to be under the control of others today.

"When I tell you to get up, you get up. Actually, how could I bear to punish you? Not long in the future, you'll be the Qi King's concubine. Although your body isn't comparable to Duan Mu Yan's, you're still incomparably noble …" Duan Zitong's jade-like hands lightly covered her as she pulled Su Jin Xiu up.

"The princess also felt that... "Embroidery does not have the possibility of becoming the main wife?" Su Jin Xiu tried to probe as she locked her gaze on Duan Zitong.

Although Duan Zitong's expression didn't change, she scoffed from the bottom of her heart. A wild chicken wants to be a phoenix, this Su Jin Xiu really has wild fantasies.

"Of course there is. The Great Mo Empire has an unwritten rule: if the main chamber dies, the side chamber will automatically become the main chamber. That is to say, my third sister has less than a year to go before she becomes the main wife of the Qi King!" Duan Zitong pulled Su Jin Xiu to a table and spoke gently.

"What does this have to do with me?" Su Jin Xiu asked even though she knew the answer.

"Follow this and so on, if... Then you will be the first wife of the Qi King! " Although Duan Zitong didn't say it clearly, the meaning behind her words were clear.

"But this matter is easier said than done. Back then, when Duan Mu Yan was in the Sky Prison, she was not even slightly touched. Now …" Su Jin Xiu continued to probe.

"Are you blaming me for not making a promise?" Duan Zitong's voice gradually grew colder.

"Your servant doesn't dare …" Su Jin Xiu said in fear.

"When the Japanese palace did send people to the Sky Prison, it was only because Duan Mu Yan's fate was big. But it's different this time, you have to do it yourself. I believe that even if Duan Mu Yan had 9 lives, she wouldn't be able to escape! " Duan Zitong said in a ruthless tone, only to see Su Jin Xiu kneel on the ground.

"Princess, you want me to kill Duan Mu Yan?" "This can't be …" Su Jin Xiu also wanted Duan Mu Yan to die, but she also wanted to stay out of this matter. It wouldn't be long before she became the concubine of the Qi King. She could not ruin her own future.

"Why?" How could Duan Zitong not understand Su Jin's intentions?

"Because... This is because the entire Xiao manor knows that this servant and Duan Moyan cannot tolerate each other. If Duan Moyan had any mishaps in the Xiao manor, then this servant would not be able to help … " Su Jin Xiu said in fear.

"Heh, you think I want to abandon your car? Why do you think I am so heartless in your eyes? " Duan Zitong couldn't help sighing.

"That's not what I meant …" Su Jin Xiu looked suspiciously at Duan Zitong.

"Actually, there are many methods to make Duan Mu Yan die. For example, making her commit suicide!" Duan Zitong's cherry lips curled up into a smile, appearing extremely strange.

"Forgive me for my foolishness, but I don't understand the meaning behind Princess's words …"

On the day of your grand wedding, the day of Duan Muyan's death will be the day of her death. She will first lose mufei, then lose her imperial brother, then lose her beloved, and then marry someone else. Furthermore, she will also be a servant of the main wife. Duan Zitong explained in a calm voice, making everything make sense.
