She slowly got up, and subconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hands as a form of protection. She was surprised at her actions, as it turned out, other than Xiao Jingfeng, there was another layer of concern in her heart.

Although she appeared to agree with Duan Zitong's suggestion, she had yet to make her final decision. However, the scene just now had confirmed her confidence; if Duan Mu Yan did not die, then she would never be able to obtain Xiao Jin Feng's heart in this lifetime. Her child would be looked down by others in this Xiao Wang Mansion. This was not the result she wanted! Absolutely not!

At the entrance of the residence, Duan Mu Yan was about to leave when she coincidentally bumped into Zhou Jing, who had just walked in.

"Princess? You want to go out? " Zhou Jun tried to probe.

"What's the matter?" Duan Moyan's eyebrows twitched slightly. She felt heartache as she watched Zhou Han bustle in and out. It really wasn't worth it for the sake of a venomous snake and scorpion woman like Su Jin Xiu.

"Royal Consort … "This old servant has already prepared the clothes you will wear for you on the day of your concubine. If it's convenient for you, you can give it a try …" If not for the fact that he had seen Duan Moyan, Zhou Han would have never bothered with her. He was very clear about Duan Moyan's current state of mind. After all, it was a matter of the Xiao Residence.

"Heh, as long as the tailor is made according to the size given by Yao'er, it's fine. Housekeeper Zhou, thank you for all the hard work you've gone through these days." Duan Mu Yan said from the bottom of his heart.

"Esteemed wangfei, you're being too serious. This is something this old servant should do, it's just that …" "Zhou Jing is a servant, some things really are …" Zhou Han said with a sigh.

"Mu Yan understands. I, Mu Yan, will carve your kindness in my heart!" Since the manor is still busy, Mu Yan will not disturb you. If you need anything, find me anytime. " In the entire Xiao family, the only ones that she was still grateful to were Zhou Jing and Xiao Yin, who had already set off to battle.

After leaving the Xiao family, Yao'er fell into deep thought.

"Is there something on your mind?" Duan Mu Yan sensed Yao'er's unusual expression and asked doubtfully.

"Mistress, there are only five days left before the day the Qi King takes in his concubine. Are we really not prepared for anything?" Yao'er was very clear that this time, the Qi King's concubine was basically set up by her master. But up until now, she hadn't seen her master make any moves.

"If we have to put in all our effort to deal with a single Su Jin Xiu, then how should we go about our next steps?" Duan Muyan's lips curled up slightly, but the light in her eyes was so bright that it caused one's heart to involuntarily tremble.

If one could say that there were losses and gains in doing business, then the Spring Festival was undoubtedly a stable business. Every time Duan Moyan stepped into the Spring Festival, it was always overcrowded.

"Screech ~ ~" Isn't that Miss Meng Yan! Indeed, a Celestial Immortal had descended to the mortal world! Come... Come over for a drink, it's rare for me to meet you! " The one who called her name was one of the rich and influential people in the Imperial City. Her family was like countless beauties, but every day, she would linger around the brothel. If she really accepted a wife, then she might as well steal her concubine.

Duan Muyan walked straight to the second floor, not even sparing Zhang San a glance.

"Oh, you refused a toast and refused a forfeit!" Today, I want to see whether or not you will reward me with this face! " Zhang San pushed away the beautiful lady beside him and rushed towards Duan Mu Yan with the jug of wine. Zi Min had already been unable to endure it any longer, but before Zi Min could do anything, Zhang San suddenly burst out laughing in the middle of the hall, looking extremely happy. When Duan Mu Yan walked into the Purple Butterfly Pavilion, she could still hear Zhang San laughing maniacally.

"Zi Min, you did it?" Yao'er whispered.

"Do you think that's possible? I don't have the ability to make him smile so brilliantly. " Zi Min said disapprovingly.

Zi Min entered the room and closed the door to the Purple Butterfly Pavilion tightly. When she turned around, she saw Yan Wuhen walking out slowly from the drapes.

"This subordinate pays his respect to Pavilion Master." His black clothes and hair were elegant and graceful, and he still exuded an aura that shook the martial arts world. However, there was a slight decrease in his arrogance. Yan Wuhen knelt on one knee in front of Duan Mu Yan, his hands forming into fists as he said respectfully.

"Get up, it's been hard on you these days." A trace of gratitude could be seen in her eyes.

"Pavilion Master's words are too harsh. For you to join the Pear Blossom Pavilion without a trace of your own will, and to go through fire and water for Pavilion Master, is your lifetime's greatest honor." Yan Wuhen's eyes were filled with an unconcealable tenderness as he stood up and retreated to the side.

One by one, figures rushed into the Purple Butterfly Pavilion. When Yao'er and Zi Min saw this, they immediately rushed to Duan Mu's side, guarding their master vigilantly. When all twelve figures had arrived, the window was slammed shut by Yan Wuhen with his internal energy.

"Your subordinate greets Pavilion Master."

"Subordinate Chou Niu greets Pavilion Master."

"Subordinate Yin Hu greets Pavilion Master."

"Everyone, rise." Duan Moyan turned her gaze towards Yan Wuhen.

"Reporting to Pavilion Master, I believe Zi Min has already mentioned the backgrounds of these twelve people to the Pavilion Master. Today, Wu Hen has brought them here to meet the Pavilion Master. I hope that she can bestow medicine upon them." Yan Wuhen was truly a meticulous person. He ordered the twelve people in front of him to consume the poison and hand the antidote over to him, so that the twelve people would remember his kindness.

Duan Mu Yan cast a sidelong glance at Yao'er. Yao'er understood and passed the antidote over to everyone.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" The twelve of them spoke in unison.

"Pavilion Master, that Zhang San outside was done by that little rascal just now. It's just that the environment is limited, so the abilities of the brothers cannot be displayed by Pavilion Master." Yan Wuhen praised.

"There will always be a chance in the future." After the twelve of them brought out the medicine and left, Duan Mu Yan walked over to Yan Wu Hen's side.

"If not for you, Mu Yan would never have known where to find these capable people. Mu Yan will never forget your great kindness!" Glimmers danced in Duan Mu Yan's eyes. She wanted to bend down and bow, but Yan Wu Hen beat her to it.

"Pavilion Master is too serious, I dare not say I am worthy." Just when Duan Mu Yan was about to say something, Yan Wu Hen's expression suddenly changed. She immediately pulled her to the side of the table and turned her gaze towards Kong Ziming. Zi Min nodded slightly before she leaped to the door and fiercely opened it.

"Lady Bing Xin?" Zi Min asked in surprise.

"That's right. I wonder if Bing Xin's sudden visit had disturbed Young Master Yan and little sister's drinking and chatting?" Before Duan Moyan could reply, Leng Bingxin had already walked into the Violet Butterfly Pavilion.

"No, it's rare for Miss Bing Xin to come to my Purple Butterfly Pavilion, I believe Wu Hen wouldn't mind." She cast a sidelong glance at Yan Wuhen.

"Since Miss Bing Xin has business with Yan Er, I will come back another day. Farewell." Yan Wuhen pursed his lips as he got up and left.

"Zi Min, wait for me to send Young Master Wu Hen down …" Duan Mu Yan gently said. When Yan Wu Hen left, Leng Bing Xin spoke out with guilt.

"It's all Bing'er's fault for being so rude. Otherwise, Young Master Yan would not be so disappointed. " Leng Bing Xin sat at the side of the table familiarly, looking around her subconsciously.

"Miss Bing Xin, you're being too serious. Even if you didn't come, Young Noble Wu Hen would have left already. May I know what business you have with Yan Er?" Duan Mu Yan lightly lifted the teapot and poured tea into it.

If Bing Xin guessed right, Yan'er should be a few years younger than me. If you don't mind, then call me Big Sister, which isn't a big deal, but little sister, you're often away from the Spring Festival, and big sister has a rare opportunity to see you, so when I heard a voice from inside her room, I came over. This Jade Phoenix hairpin is a gift that big sister gave little sister. As Leng Bing Xin spoke, she placed the hairpin in front of Duan Mu Yan.

"Yan'er thanks elder sister for your love. I'm afraid that Young Master Yan's swordplay has disturbed elder sister. Yan'er is truly sorry." Duan Mu Yan respectfully received the hairpin as she blamed herself.

"No, as long as my sister is fine …" I still have things to do, so I won't disturb you any longer. " Before Leng Bingxin left, she looked around. After watching Leng Bing Xin enter the Immortal Deity Pavilion, Yao'er immediately closed the door.

"Mistress, has this Leng Bing Xin found something?" Yao'er suspiciously asked.

"Perhaps. I just wonder how much she's eavesdropping from the outside." Duan Mu Yan frowned as she worriedly asked. At this moment, Zi Min pushed the door open and entered.

"Yan Wuhen has left?" Yao'er looked at Zi Min.

"Mm. Master. Big Brother Yan told this servant to tell Master that Leng Bing Xin only came here after Zi Shu and the rest left. She probably didn't hear anything, so please be at ease, master." However, that Cold Ice Heart Martial Arts is not weak, I believe that it is definitely not an ordinary brothel girl, so Big Brother Yan warned Master to always be on your guard. " Zi Min answered truthfully.

"She knows martial arts? Is she like us, drunk? "Fine, as long as we pay more attention in the future …" As Duan Mu Yan spoke, she glanced at the Jade Phoenix hairpin in her hands. After pondering for a long time, she finally placed it in her bosom. Whether he was an enemy or a friend was still unknown, so he couldn't act rashly.

Imperial Palace Hall.

"Your son's name is Zitong, and I pay my respects to Imperial Father Jin An …" Duan Zitong walked slowly into the chamber before bowing respectfully.

"Rise, these days royal father has only cared about the imperial government and he showed less concern for you. It was due to your negligence." Duan Chen sighed lightly as he looked at Duan Zitong lovingly.

"royal father is the ruler of a nation, he naturally values the lives of all the people in the world." royal father is the ruler of a country, so naturally, the lives of all the people in the world is emphasized the lives of all the people. Duan Zitong said in a gentle voice as she stepped forward and poured some tea for her.

"In this world, who doesn't care about their daughter, especially when it comes to their daughter's marriage? It's even more careless." Duan Chen said earnestly. Hearing that, Duan Zitong was startled. She was successful last night, but today, Imperial Father mentioned something about her life. Could it be? Could it be that Yu Xuan had already come over? He … Willing to marry me? Thinking up to here, Duan Zitong was overjoyed. She handed the teacup in her hand over to Duan Chen.

"As long as it is chosen by royal father, this daughter naturally likes it. Since ancient times, parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, this son's life and major matters will naturally follow royal father's orders." Duan Zitong's cherry lips slightly parted as a bright light shone from his eyes. The happiness on his face caused Duan Chen to be slightly surprised.

"Is that true? Don't you want to know who royal father said the son-in-law is? " Duan Chen looked at his daughter in confusion.

"I believe that royal father will definitely not let this son of mine down. Furthermore, what royal father has chosen, is not to be trifled with." Duan Zitong gently placed her jade-like hand on Duan Chen's shoulder and laughed from the bottom of her heart.

"Since you've agreed, then Father shall pass down the order right now. At the tenth day of the next month, I shall give you to Prince Gong, Xia Hou Yuan …" Before Duan Chen finished his sentence, Duan Zitong retreated a few steps and looked at Duan Chen in disbelief.

"What did royal father say? How to... How could it be Xia Hou Yuan? " Duan Zitong asked in shock, her eyes filled with doubt.

"Who did the catalpa think it was?" Duan Chen sighed to himself. Looks like he guessed right, the so-called Goddess has the Heart of Prince Xiang, right?

"royal father should know that this son's heart is with Xiao Yuxuan, so how could he bear to have this son marry Prince Gong? If our daughter doesn't obey, we won't obey even if we die! " Duan Zitong's eyes were hazy with tears as she abruptly knelt on the ground and sobbed softly.

This morning, Xiao Yuxuan requested to see royal father and wanted to set off to meet his father, Xiao Yin. Although royal father did not agree, I can see that Xiao Yuxuan has already made up his mind, even if royal father did not speak, he might not stay in the Supreme Tutor Hall obediently, catty, royal father does not know what you have told him, but I can see that in his heart, Xiao Yuxuan did not have you at all, your mufei died early.
