Duan Zitong's eyes flashed with a strange light as she felt Su Jinxiu tugging at her robe. Then, she bent her body and crouched down before her.
"Just now you threatened to see me in the court. What is it?" Her gentle voice was bone-chilling cold. If she hadn't arrived earlier, Su Jinxiu would have long ago dragged her into the water.
"Servant …" "Your servant only wants the princess to uphold justice for your servant …" Su Jin Xiu heard the meaning behind Duan Zitong's words and could not help but lower her eyes, not daring to look him in the eye.
"To uphold justice? "Sir Wu will uphold justice for you in this Board of Justice. How can I have the ability to …" Duan Zitong emphasized her words on purpose, so that everyone in the court could hear him clearly. Su Jinxiu opened his eyes upon hearing his voice and looked at Duan Zitong in disbelief. If she wanted to kill him, he would drag him down with her even if he had to die!
Just as Su Jin Xiu was about to speak, Duan Zitong suddenly stood up. His cherry lips seemed to have a deeper meaning as they brushed past Su Jin Mei's ears.
"Sir Wu, sorry for disturbing your trial, please continue …" Even after experiencing such a huge blow, her expression still remained unchanged. He had to admit that the current Duan Mu Yan was indeed different, or perhaps the death of Xiao Jin Feng was a good thing for her.
"Su Jin Xiu!" Do you admit to it! " Wu Bingcheng saw that Duan Zitong didn't say anything, so she naturally had nothing to fear. She immediately slapped Tang Mu hard!
"Lord …" Your servant has been wronged … "Damn it!" Su Jin Xiu knelt on the ground. Her eyes were filled with grief. Then, she knocked her head on the ground with a 'bang' sound. Everyone was shocked. Su Jin Xiu had already fainted. Duan Moyan laughed coldly in her heart. Duan Zitong, is this your trick?
"Sir!" Su Jin Xiu had fainted … Do you want to wake her up? " At the side, a bailiff reported the matter as it happened.
"This …" Wu Bingcheng turned to look at Duan Mu Yan, hesitating.
"Su Jin Xiu deserves it for her crimes. Mu Yan doesn't want others to say that she has humbled herself!" After which, she got up and walked over to Duan Zitong's side as she spoke in a gentle voice.
"Since Mu Yan's body is not feeling well, coupled with the great change that has occurred in the Xiao manor, I shall not continue chatting with my younger sister. Goodbye." After Duan Moyan finished speaking, Yao'er and Zi Min supported her out of the court.
"Princess …" At the side, Qing Lan couldn't help but call out to Duan Zitong.
"Ugh …" to the palace! " Duan Zitong was shocked as she got up and left. When Duan Mu Yan was looking at her earlier, her eyes were ice-cold. That cold gaze seemed to chill her down to the depths of her heart, causing her to tremble.
The night became even colder as the biting cold whistled and engulfed the entire vast earth. Xiao Wang Mansion was filled with wails and wails as Xiao Jin Feng's ashes were collected into the high quality wooden coffin, all of the funeral arrangements were handled by Housekeeper Zhou. The mourning hall, the large white silk fluttered in the wind, and strangely, Duan Mu Yan was kneeling on the cold ground, her body trembling uncontrollably from the cold as tears silently fell from her eyes.
"Jingfeng, I'm sorry … Actually, you don't need to do that. You already know that it was all planned by me, so why did you still help me block this death trap? You clearly know how light you are in Mu Yan's heart, why didn't you escape by yourself? What did you get for doing this? What are you trying to tell me? Do you really love me? Is that so? Perhaps you know better than I do that it's not love, but loneliness and loneliness. Perhaps you're the same as me, throughout the long night, just wanting to find people to rely on and support each other. However, that's not love … " She knelt there in a depressed manner, desperately trying to deny Xiao Jingfeng's love. She did not dare face reality, did not dare to admit that Xiao Jingfeng loved her so much, and for her, he did not even give up his life. That kind of smooth reaction was the best proof.
Duan Moyan trembled as her tears rolled down her face. Her forehead was violently pressed against the ground, causing her tears to roll down her face like broken beads, causing her heart to ache uncontrollably.
"Princess, it's not your fault, no one knew that Su Jinxiu would be so ruthless. If it wasn't for Zi Min, the Qi King wouldn't be the only one lying in the mourning hall right now. Since she used her body to block the fire spark, she just wanted you to live on." Worried, Yao'er worriedly asked as she supported Duan Mu Yan up.
"Mistress, this was an accident and no one thought of it. "It's about time, should we …" Zi Min reminded.
Duan Moyan glanced at the sky before wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. She then turned around and left the mourning hall, heading straight for the small door at the back. Zi Min and Yao'er naturally followed behind her.
Inside the Sky Prison, Su Jin Xiu was curled up in a corner, her hands tightly protecting the baby in her womb. Her heart was filled with pity and regret.
"Senior Feng …" You forced me to do this. If you weren't hiding behind a curtain, how could you have heard all this? For the sake of the child, I can't die, but you didn't even give me a chance to live. Is Duan Mu Yan really worthy of you protecting with your life? What about me? Not only did I spend the night together with you, I even carried your flesh and blood with me. Sorry... You're the one who forced me into a desperate situation! God … Embroidery did not require anything at the moment, only survival! Relying on your own child … " Despite her hatred, tears still rolled down Su Jin's eyes. She truly loved Xiao Jin Feng, loved him for so long, so long that she couldn't even remember when she had personally killed the person she loved the most. If she wasn't a fetus in her womb, she really didn't know whether she would have rushed up and hugged Xiao Jin Feng tightly.
"Survive? Will Feng agree? Would Chu Shi Rou agree? Su Jin Xiu, you really do harm others, you said that you like Xiao Jin Feng, that's how you like him? " A bone-piercing coldness slowly seeped out of Duan Muyan's voice. The moment she saw Su Jin Xiu, the cold glint that shot out from her eyes made the hearts of those who heard it tremble.
"You … Why did you come here? " Su Jin Xiu looked at Duan Mu Yan vigilantly, her hands protecting her lower abdomen even more tightly.
"Why can't I come? Su Jin Xiu, what are you afraid of? Heh, is there anything else in this world that you're afraid of? " Duan Mu Yan walked step by step towards the cell, her every word like ice.
"You venomous snake and scorpion woman, it was you that tricked the Qi King into entering your room! If it wasn't for you, how could he have died?! " Su Jinxiu ferociously roared, and her belly was filled with an explosive amount of resentment.
"Perhaps, if it wasn't for me wanting him to see your true face, he might have avoided a calamity. But Su Jin Xiu, if you didn't have the intention to kill me, would he have died with grievances? You've done so many bad things and stained your hands with the blood of so many people. Until now, you still haven't shown the slightest bit of regret? Chu Shirou, Qiu Yue, Xiao Jin Feng! Don't you have nightmares at ten in the morning? "How can you live with peace of mind …" Duan Mu Yan shook her head as she looked at Su Jin Xiu in disbelief.
"It's all because of you! If not for your appearance, if it wasn't for you insisting on marrying into the Xiao Duke Palace, all of this wouldn't have happened! I killed Chu Shirou because of you, and I killed Qiu Yue because of you as well. You're the only one I want to kill! Duan Mu Yan! No one deserves to die, the only one who deserves to die is you! " Su Jin Xiu roared. Her eyes were filled with hatred.
Duan Mu Yan smiled bitterly as she looked at Su Jin Xiu's malevolent expression. She admitted that everything Su Jin Xiu said was true.
"Esteemed wangfei …" At this moment, Zi Min brought a bowl of saffron to Duan Muyan's side.
"Since Madam Su thinks that this wangfei is so insidious and ruthless, then I might as well do it again. Zi Min, go in and let her drink this …" Duan Mu Yan coldly spoke, the light in her eyes as cold as ice.
"You … What are you all doing?! " Seeing that Zi Min actually had the key to the cell, Su Jin's heart jolted and she immediately retreated a few steps back. She looked at Duan Mu Yan in shock.
"Rest assured, your death sentence is none of the Ministry of Justice's business. I believe that Xin Feng would definitely not want a despicable person like you to leave behind a son for him!" Duan Mu Yan pursed her lips, as a bright light flashed in her eyes.
"Don't... Don't hurt the child in my womb! Duan Mu Yan! I beg you! You can punish me as much as you like, but the child is innocent! Please let her go! " Seeing the thick medicinal juice in Zi Min's hand, Su Jin Xiu abruptly knelt on the ground and kowtowed with all her might.
"Innocent? Who wasn't innocent of the people you killed? If Qiu Yue is willing to plead on your behalf, I will let you go! "Zi Min!" Duan Mu Yan coldly stated. At this moment, Zi Min grabbed Su Jin's long hair with one hand and poured the saffron into her mouth.
"Don't... Woo woo … Duan Mu Yan … You will die a horrible death... "Child …" How could Su Jin Xiu possibly win against Zi Min, who had a strong martial arts skills? After she drank all of the juice, Zi Min let go and retreated from the cell.
"Why!? Why must you be so heartless, he is the only flesh and blood of the Qi King! The Qi King died for you! "Duan Mu Yan …" Su Jin Xiu tightly clutched her stomach as she cried out miserably. Her heart was torn and her lungs were splitting apart. Outside the cell, Duan Mu Yan coldly looked at Su Jin Xiu as she quietly watched her struggle. It was only when Su Jin Xiu felt something was wrong that she spoke.
"How is it? "How do you feel?" Duan Mu Yan said in disdain.
"You … What did you give me to drink? Not saffron? " Su Jin Xiu didn't feel any pain in her stomach. Other than a warm feeling, there was almost no reaction.
"This bowl is indeed a saffron, and it was personally made by Zhao Yuxu!" Duan Mu Yan glanced at Su Jin Xiu and resentfully spoke.
"What do you mean?" Su Jin Xiu subconsciously covered her stomach, her eyes full of fear.
"With your intelligence, do you know what I mean?" Duan Mu Yan disapproved.
"You … You lied to me? I... I'm not pregnant at all? Impossible... Doctor Zhao told me personally that I was pregnant and that I was pregnant with the child of the Qi King! How could it be fake?! Impossible! "You lied to me …" Su Jin Xiu shook her head with all her might as tears welled up in her eyes. If not for this child, she might not have been so desperate to kill the man she loved the most in her life! No!
"You can bribe Zhao Yu Xun, but I can't? Su Jin Xiu, I just wanted to let you have a taste of that heart-wrenching pain before realizing that everything is like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water. It's not yours, it's never been yours, Xiao Jin Feng has never loved you, and you also never had anything! From start to finish, you only live in your own fantasies, and everything is fake. " Qiu Yue, you can leave in peace. Su Jin Xiu will personally request for punishment from you in the near future. That's all I can do for you.
