"Left …" "Why didn't Prince tell this old servant …" Zhou Jing subconsciously retreated. If it weren't for Zi Min supporting him, she would have already fallen to the ground.

"Housekeeper Zhou, don't be like this. Since this is royal father's wish, none of us can change it." At the same time that Duan Mu Yan consoled Zhou Jing, she felt as though the insides of her heart were on fire.

Zhou Jing didn't say anything. Instead, he staggered back to his room. Not long after Duan Mu Yan stabilized herself, an underling came to report to him.

"Reporting to the wangfei, Steward Zhou left behind a note before leaving." As the servant spoke, he respectfully passed the letter to Duan Mu Yan.

In the old servant's heart, the old prince has already become the old servant's only relative. Now that the old prince is old enough to let him leave on his own, the old servant really cannot be at ease, so the old servant will temporarily leave the Xiao manor to find the old prince. In the future, the old servant will definitely bring the old prince back to the Xiao manor. Zhou Jun.

At that time, the three princes of the Xiao family plus Housekeeper Zhou could be considered to be enjoying their prosperity, but now that they had left, they were either dead or alive. Currently, only she was left of the Xiao family, and desolation and helplessness rose up in his. Duan Mu Yan dejectedly put down the note, but at this moment, Xiao Yuxuan's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Father... royal father, where are you? " At this moment, Duan Moyan suddenly felt a little afraid. She didn't know how to face Xiao Yuxuan. The home that was originally flourishing had withered away because of her. At this moment, how could she still have the face to see Xiao Yuxuan?

"Mu Yan... Are you there, Mu Yan? " Xiao Yuxuan knocked on the door as the two maidservants looked somewhat uneasily at Duan Mu Yan. Duan Mu Yan nodded slightly, and Yao'er took the order to open the door, causing Xiao Yu Xuan to rush in anxiously. Yao'er and Zi Min naturally knew that they wanted to leave, so the only ones left in the room were Xiao Yu Xuan and Duan Mu Yan.

"Mu Yan, the Seventh Princess said that Father left? What was going on? royal brother has just been buried, where is royal father going? " Anxiety that made one's heart ache surfaced on Xiao Yuxuan's incomparably handsome face. She looked expectantly at Duan Mu Yan, hoping for a different answer.

"Royal father really left. He left with Senior Feng's spirit tablet. I went to beg Royal father, but he didn't even tell me where Royal father was going." Duan Mu Yan frowned as she looked apologetically at Xiao Yu Xuan.

"Father... royal father! " Hearing her, Xiao Yuxuan trembled, and then he suddenly turned around, wanting to give chase, but he was stopped by Duan Moyan.

"It's useless. Royal Father doesn't want us to find him. Even if you chase him out of the Imperial City, do you even know where he went?" Duan Mu Yan didn't want Xiao Yu Xuan to do something useless, but what she got instead was a questioning look from Xiao Yu Xuan.

"Mu Yan, why does royal father want to leave? Do you know why? " She had never seen such a gaze from a stranger in Xiao Yuxuan's eyes before. He suspected her, and this caused Duan Moyan to be overcome with grief. However, the truth was that Xiao Yin's departure was indeed related to her.

"Maybe it's too sad? Since royal father left with Senior Feng's spirit tablet, you probably don't want to stay in this sorrowful place anymore … " Duan Moyan stuttered, her gaze shifting back and forth from time to time, not daring to meet Xiao Yuxuan's gaze.

"Mu Yan... Tell me, why did Su Jinxiu become Brother Wang's concubine? With my understanding of Brother Wang, he definitely won't marry Su Jin Xiu. Also, why did Su Jin Xiu die in the Sky Prison, and why was Brother Wang in your room that day? " Xiao Yuxuan looked at Duan Mu Yan in anticipation. She wished that the voice coming from his would be different.

"Why do you ask?" Duan Mu Yan subconsciously retreated, her jade-like hands pounding on the square table before she steadied herself. It was Duan Zitong, it must be Duan Zitong. How could she not know Su Jin's plan? It must be Xiao Yuxuan. She had kept this matter in her heart for a long time. She had long since wanted to tell Xiao Yuxuan the truth. There shouldn't be any secrets between them.

"I just want to know the truth. Why?" Even though Xiao Yuxuan's voice was soft, it was ice-cold.

"Because of me, because I want to take revenge for Qiu Yue, because I want Su Jin Xiu to be punished for her crimes, so I thought of a plan to make Su Jin Ling climb onto Xi Feng's bed, and it was me who lied to them, Su Jin Xiu, to be pregnant with Xi Feng's child, but I swear, I only want to punish Su Jin Xiu! At this time, Su Jinxiu had already put on Feng Xue's clothes and came to find me. She had admitted to me that everything was done by her, including that she killed Chu Shirou, and the truth was revealed, so she naturally couldn't suppress the anger in her heart and ran out from behind the curtain. When she saw that she had been exposed, Su Jinxiu immediately wanted to kill me. However, Jing Feng stood in front of me. I wanted to save him … "But it's too late …" She did not know how Xiao Yuxuan would react after hearing all of this. Perhaps, this matter would forever be a chasm between them.

"You … How can you use Brother Wang for revenge? You are not fair to him! Why? Why are you doing this? Brother Wang has already fallen in love with me. Xiao Yuxuan looked at Duan Mu Yan in disbelief. It was as though he didn't recognize the girl in front of him. Why would a kind and gentle woman have such a complicated mentality?

"You … Didn't you already know? " Duan Mu Yan was also a little surprised. She originally thought that her confession would make Xiao Yu Xuan feel better, but she never expected that Xiao Yu Xuan's reaction would be like this.

"I know? Who do you think will tell me? Father? Or was it the Seventh Princess? Mu Yan, when did you become so suspicious and suspicious? It was clearly your fault. Don't you feel a bit guilty? There is no doubt that royal father must know about this matter, which is why he avoided you! " Xiao Yuxuan shook his head in pain. There was too much disappointment in her heart, and what made her even more pained was that by doing so, Duan Moyan had unquestionably destroyed their chance to be together. His royal brother had died miserably, and his father had left.

"This is not the result I wanted, nor did I expect things to turn out this way. I regret it, I feel guilty, but it has already happened, what can I do? "Yuxuan, it's not that I've changed, it's that this world changed me. If I don't deal with Su Jin Xiu, Su Jin Xiu will do the same to me. If it wasn't Xi Feng, I would be the one dying right now!" A dense light flashed across the depths of Duan Mu Yan's eyes. She knew that Xiao Yu Xuan would be hurt, would be sad, but she didn't expect him to be so merciless as to criticize her!

"You are still standing in front of me in a complete and undamaged state, but your royal brother has already died a violent death, and your royal father has already disappeared without a trace. Mu Yan … Why did it become like this? How do you want me to face you in the future? " Xiao Yuxuan's heart ached, and the look in his eyes was so desolate.

Seeing the despair and resentment in Xiao Yuxuan's eyes, Duan Moyan slumped in his chair. His eyes grew more and more empty as his heart ached. In Xiao Yuxuan's eyes, she knew that the two of them would never return to the past.

"Since he can't face it, then don't face it, you're right, Xin Feng died because of me. If I didn't devise a series of tricks, he definitely wouldn't have married Su Jin Xiu, and he definitely wouldn't have died. Father indeed knows the truth, and couldn't face such a situation. I, Duan Mu Yan, was the one who harmed the Duke Xiao Palace, hurt the relationship between you father and son, and all the sins are all on me. If you don't do anything, then please leave. " Duan Mu Yan forcefully endured the pain in her heart as an ice-cold glint of light flickered in her eyes. If she were to break it, she would break it. If she were to continue to be entangled in it, it would all be in vain.

"Mu Yan... How could you say that? Where did you put me? "We …" Xiao Yuxuan said in pain, her heart felt as though it was burning through his bones. However, before he could finish his words, Duan Moyan had already spoken.

"Yao'er, Zi Min! "Please go out, Ping Wang …" That piercing pain filled every nerve in her body, and that unforgettable pain was something she was almost unable to endure. However, she already had no choice, she had once imagined that even if the truth were to be revealed, Xiao Yuxuan would understand her difficult situation, but now, she finally understood that no matter how wronged she was, the truth was still the truth. No one could change.

Feeling Duan Moyan's body trembling, Xiao Yuxuan wanted to step forward but was stopped by Yao'er and Zi Min.

"My prince, my princess isn't in a good mood right now. If you have anything to say, come back another day …" Xiao Yuxuan sighed deeply, turned around, and left in a dejected manner. In the next second after Xiao Yuxuan left, Duan Mu Yan could no longer suppress the pain in his heart as he choked with sobs.

In the time it took to have half a cup of tea, Yao'er suddenly ran in with a flustered expression.

"Royal Consort … Not good, Jing Wang brought a group of people and was outside knocking at the door. They should have already broken into the main hall! " Yao'er was perturbed as she returned the report, but she had no confidence in her heart. Duan Rui's matter had been long since there was any movement from the Scene King, and now that he suddenly barged in, it was most likely an unexpected event.

"King Jing? Where's Zi Min? " Duan Mu Yan asked respectfully as she lifted her sleeves to wipe the tears in her eyes.

"Reporting to wangfei, this servant has already told Zi Min to hide. King Jing is in full fury, it seems like she did not come with good intentions. Wangfei, you have to be careful." First, it was the tragic death of the Qi King, then the old prince had left, and now the even prince had been angered to the point that she had left. Right now, only the wangfei was left as the sole ruler of the entire Xiao manor, so how was she supposed to resist King Jing's challenge?

"Well done, let's go out. I want to see just what that Jing Wang wants to do!" Her beautiful eyes were as cold as ice. Other than someone she had shamed, Duan Moyan would not allow herself to back down in front of anyone else.

When Duan Muyan stepped into the main hall, an old man dressed in extravagant clothing sat there maliciously. Although he had a head of gorgeous hair, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. As expected of his Third Imperial Uncle, he possessed the dignity of a royal father.
