"Is this Mu Yan's intention?" Xiao Yuxuan looked at Zheng Ting Ze with slight astonishment. If it was him, he would not hesitate to bring Duan Mu Yan away and never return. Right now, there was nothing left that they could not let go of.

"No, the Third Princess wants to face it on her own, but this humble subject feels that the Third Princess is determined to die." Zheng Tingze spoke out what he was thinking.

"Thank you for telling me all of this. I will return to the Xiao Residence to persuade Mu Yan to leave right now!" Once Xiao Yuxuan had packed everything up, he left the Tutor Hall with Zheng Tingze. It was impossible for Xiao Yuxuan to leave the palace on his own, but with Zheng Tingze around, it would be easy for him to bring his to the Imperial Hospital first and then take his palanquin to leave.

When the two of them reached the east gate, they suddenly heard a team of people running out of the east city in a hurry. The two of them hid in the shadows, but were able to clearly hear their conversation.

"What's the matter with the Imperial Guard Commander leaving the city?" The city guards answered as usual.

"On the orders of the Emperor, we shall capture the Third Princess." As the leader of the imperial guards spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom. The city guards immediately let him through without saying a word.

In the dark, Xiao Yuxuan's heart trembled. No matter how good his Qing Gong was, it was far too late for his to catch up with the Imperial Guards. It seemed like his plan to take Duan Mu Yan far away would not work.

"What should we do?" The emperor already knows of this matter. I'm afraid the third princess is in for it! " Zheng Ting and Ze didn't expect the news from Jing King Manor would spread so quickly. They didn't even give him the time to arrange it.

"It's impossible for me to look for Mu Yan now. I'll still stay in the palace. If the emperor really blames me later on, even if I have to risk my life to save Mu Yan!" Xiao Yuxuan's gaze turned cold as his white robe fluttered in the wind. Even if he died, he would accompany his.

His Majesty has always doted on His Highness the Crown Prince and the Seventh Princess. As long as you can persuade these two people to plead on behalf of the Third Princess, I believe that His Majesty will definitely ensure that the Third Princess will be safe if she doesn't look at the Buddhist Sangha! The problem is whether or not the Seventh Princess is willing! " The Seventh Princess's feelings for Xiao Yuxuan were deeply rooted, and he believed that as long as Xiao Yuxuan spoke out, the Seventh Princess would help him with this favor. It was just that it would be difficult for Xiao Yuxuan to do so, but at this critical moment, he really couldn't bear to think about his son and daughter. As for Duan Xingyi, he seemed to have been especially considerate towards Duan Mu Yan, and he only hoped that this time would not be an exception.

"But …" If he had a way, Xiao Yuxuan wouldn't even want to save Duan Zitong. After all, it was too late for him to hide.

"But there are no more buts. There are still mountains to be had. If you and the Third Princess were to die, then there would be no hope at all!" Seeing that Xiao Yuxuan was hesitating, Zheng Ting Ze immediately consoled her.

"Then, I'll try my best. I hope the Emperor can spare Mu Yan for Duan Zitong's sake!" Xiao Yuxuan nodded his head fiercely. He had no other choice.

Although they had never been loyal before, at the very least, they had still pledged their allegiance to him at the last moment. Moreover, right now, apart from the two of them, Duan Mu Yan didn't know who else she could entrust the current Xiao Duke Palace to.

If anything happens to me, you two must be calm, you can't let the servants of the Xiao manor fall into chaos. Wait until the sun rises, then go and find the Duke of Qi, Feng Xue, Cui Xin, I know that you two have stayed in the Xiao manor for a long time, and now that the people of the Xiao manor are all weakened, it is rare that you two are still standing guard here. You guys must be loyal to me, Mu Yan begs you to help the Qi King, to properly manage the Xiao manor, and to wait for the old Duke to come back. Duan Mu Yan indifferently spoke, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

Feng Xue and Cui Xin looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a while.

"Royal Consort … Your servant doesn't understand what you mean, but it seems … "It seems like you want to …" Before Feng Xue could finish her sentence, the sound of someone knocking on the door rang out. Duan Mu Yan's heart trembled. It seemed that the news had spread quite quickly.

"All of you should open the door …" If he died just like that, there would be too many regrets. Mufei, royal brother, Duan Mu vowed to all of you, if he did not die, then Mu Yan would definitely achieve your wish. Mu Yan was going to snatch that man's dragon throne, letting him know that the great Mo Jiangshan that he had always cared about would ultimately fall into the hands of his most hated daughter.

Right at this moment, the door was kicked open fiercely from the outside. A well-built leader of the guards walked in with a frown.

"Third Princess, the Emperor has decreed that you should follow me!" The guard's voice was cold and his eyes were solemn. At this moment, the entire Xiao Residence was in chaos. Before Duan Mu Yan left, she gave Feng Xue and Cui Xin a profound look, then decisively left.

The Phoenix Storage Pavilion.

While Duan Zitong was still sleeping, Xiao Yuxuan knocked on the palace door without any hesitation. The next second, when Qing Lan opened the door, Xiao Yuxuan rushed into Duan Zitong's inner room without a word.

"Honored tutor, the princess is still on the bed. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to enter like this, does it?" Qing Lan had never seen Xiao Yuxuan so disrespectful, nor had she ever seen him so flustered and helpless. His handsome face was full of worry, and his midnight pupils were filled with hesitation. Just what had happened? Qing Lan pondered in her heart.

"Then I will have to trouble Miss Qinglan to inform me that Yuxuan has an important matter to discuss with the princess, and it's urgent!" At this moment, he no longer had the time to care about that night with Duan Zitong. Just as Qing Lan was about to respond, she heard Duan Zitong walk out from the inner room. She was wearing only a pink robe, and the see-through jacket revealed her undergarments and pleated pants.

"Qinglan, go out and guard …" At this moment, the existence of Qinglan was undoubtedly unnecessary. Qing Lan lowered her eyes to accept the order, but her eyes were filled with bitterness. After Qinglan left, Xiao Yuxuan quickly walked up and kneeled on the ground before Duan Zitong could say anything.

"Seventh Princess, Yuxuan has a request, please grant it!" Xiao Yuxuan resolutely said. His eyes didn't notice what sort of flirting and seduction Duan Zitong was wearing at all. Perplexity.

"Yuxuan, what are you doing? Is there any need to be polite between us?" If there's anything I can do, just say so. As long as you say it out loud, I'll definitely answer to you! " Duan Zitong bent down to lift Xiao Yuxuan up. Her robe fell to the ground, revealing his beautiful figure in a transparent robe.

"Princess …" Feeling Duan Zitong's burning gaze, Xiao Yuxuan subconsciously retreated, picking up the robe on the ground and respectfully handing it over to him.

"Say it, to be able to force you into this place at such a late time, it must be something serious!" Duan Zitong could feel Xiao Yuxuan's withdrawal and couldn't help sighing. One day, she would make Xiao Yuxuan willingly touch him.

"Reporting to the princess … "King Jing is dead …" Xiao Yu Xuan did not carelessly mention Mu Yan.

"Royal Uncle? How did he die? What does that have to do with you? " Duan Zitong slightly raised her eyebrows with doubt in his eyes. She didn't know much about King Jing and had only seen him a few times during the Imperial Family's banquet. Therefore, when she heard the news of Duan Yu's death, Duan Zitong didn't have much of a reaction.

"Reporting to the princess, this has nothing to do with this humble subject. However … "The third princess personally killed King Jing …" He was well aware of Duan Zitong's hatred towards Duan Mu Yan, and she knew that Duan Zitong's heart was tied up. However, as matters stood, he could only give it a try.

The entire Phoenix Storage Pavilion suddenly became silent. Xiao Yuxuan waited there quietly, waiting for Duan Zitong to respond. Although he didn't say it out loud, he had already revealed his true intentions. His expression was calm, but deep in her heart, raging waves had begun to stir. She should have long ago thought that there was only one person who could make Xiao Yuxuan barge into his room so recklessly, and that was Duan Moyan! Without a doubt, Xiao Yuxuan wanted him to plead with royal father. His heart suddenly felt pain, and the pain of being torn apart seemed to seep into her bones. He deeply valued Xiao Yuxuan, but in the end, there was only that slut, Duan Mu Yan, in his heart!

What should he do? At this moment, she suddenly realized that regardless of ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years, she would never be able to erase the words' Duan Moyan 'from Xiao Yuxuan's heart. It would never be like this.

After a long moment passed, Duan Zitong suddenly spoke, her voice calm.

"I understand your meaning, Imperial Tutor. I can also seek your forgiveness, but there's one thing I'm not sure if I'll make Imperial Father forgive Duan Muyan." The calm voice contained a trace of coldness. If Xiao Yuxuan had been more careful, he would have heard the hatred in the voice. Unfortunately, he was too impatient.

"This humble subject kowtows to thank Seventh Princess!" Xiao Yuxuan was wild with joy. She was well aware of Duan Zitong's position in Duan Chen's heart. As long as she spoke, there was a possibility that Mu Yan might be saved.

"Honored tutor, don't get excited too early. I can promise to give it my all, but I have one condition!" Duan Zitong said indifferently. Her deep eyes were filled with unprecedented possessiveness when she looked at Xiao Yuxuan. She wanted this man before her. Even if he didn't win her heart, she still wanted him.

Xiao Yuxuan's heart trembled slightly. He suddenly felt that the atmosphere wasn't right, but he was in no mood to pay any attention to it.

"Princess, please speak."

"I will report my feelings towards you to the emperor, and I will also ask for Imperial Father's hand in marriage. If you agree, I will dress myself up and go to the Imperial Hall. If you don't agree, I'm very tired …" Duan Zitong sighed. Xiao Yuxuan, don't blame me for robbing you. You forced me to do this.

At this moment, Xiao Yuxuan suddenly felt as if he had been placed on ice for ten thousand years, the blood in his entire body solidified, and he was suddenly unable to think. He could only stand there silently, wondering what kind of decision it was to save Mu Yan, to sacrifice his and Mu Yan's happiness, and not save his? How could he bear to let Mu Yan die a violent death! What should he do? Xiao Yuxuan kept asking himself, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Noticing the hesitation on Xiao Yuxuan's face, Duan Zitong continued.

"Yuxuan, you can't blame me for making such a request. That night, when you held me in your arms and pressed me down, all you said were Duan Moyan's names. As a woman, how could you endure my feelings? I don't want to make things difficult for you, but can you really forget about the night you spent with me and throw yourself into Duan Mu Yan's embrace? You may not care about the ordinary way of looking at things, but what about Duan Mu Yan? The pressure she has to bear is far from what you can imagine! Because of your persistence, you destroyed three people. Are you willing? Right now, Duan Mu Yan is in danger, so you should know his best. If you don't agree, I have no reason to save his. Right now, the decision is in your hands, so whether you agree to it or not is up to you. However, you can wait, whereas Duan Mu Yan may not! " After Duan Zitong's repeated psychological attacks, Xiao Yuxuan could only stand there dejectedly as he lost all of his resolve.
