"I was the one who harmed her. It's all my fault for trusting Duan Yu too much and actually letting him take Yao'er away. I really don't know how to face Yao'er …" Duan Muyan bitterly said, her eyes filled with guilt.

"Don't worry, Imperial Physician Zheng said that as long as he has time, he will definitely treat Yao'er's hands and feet. Even the burns on her face will return to normal …" Duan Xingyi comforted her.

"Really? Is it really going to be as good as new? " Duan Xingyi raised his eyes in excitement and stared fixedly at Duan Xingyi. His eyes were filled with pleasant surprise and gratification. When he saw such a pair of beautiful eyes, Duan Xingyi could not help but be dumbstruck. If he could get Duan Mu Yan to keep staring at him, perhaps he would be willing to use the rivers and mountains to exchange for her, right?

Feeling the burning gaze of Duan Xingyi, Duan Mu Yan immediately retracted her gaze. Her expression returned to being calm as she drank all of the soup in her hands.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to return to the Xiao manor. I don't know what kind of chaos the entire manor will turn into right now …" Duan Muyan wasn't used to being together with Duan Xingyi, and was very unaccustomed to it.

"Since Sister Huang is anxious, I won't force you. The sedan is outside, I'll escort you back to your residence." Duan Xingyi spoke softly. He wanted to extend his hand to support Duan Mu Yan, but he subtly circled around him. Duan Xingyi sighed in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Thus, under Duan Xingyi's escort, Duan Mu Yan departed from the Imperial City and headed towards the Xiao Residence.

When Duan Mu Yan arrived at the entrance of the Xiao manor, she slowly stepped out of the sedan chair. Everything before her shocked her greatly. Could it be that Feng Xue and the rest knew that she had survived so many calamities, so they hung up so many red silk cloths outside the manor?

Red silk hung from the doors of the Xiao manor, and inside, it was brightly lit, as if there was a joyous event in the world.

"It seems that the servants of the Xiao family really are very good to you …" Duan Xingyi also sighed with emotion at the scene before him as he praised.

"Did the news of my survival reach these servants' ears so quickly?" Duan Mu Yan disapproved, rebutting in a soft voice. Then he approached the door of the mansion. Duan Xingyi slightly raised his sword-like brows. That was true. Even if news were to spread out from the palace, it would be impossible for it to spread so quickly to these servants. Duan Xingyi had no time to ponder on this further as he walked in with Duan Mu Yan. What caused them to be extremely shocked was that the entire Xiao manor was bustling with activity. Every single one of them had an indescribable expression on their faces. Are you happy? It didn't look like it was, but excitement? It didn't look like it. It looked more like a tangled knot.

At this moment, Feng Xue, who was holding onto the word 'joyful' in her hand, suddenly noticed Duan Mu Yan's figure. Joy filled her heart as she hurriedly ran over.

"Royal Consort … You're fine! " Feng Xue excitedly opened her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. Duan Mu Yan slightly nodded her head, her eyes inadvertently glancing at the word 'joyous' in Feng Xue's hands.

"Feng Xue, is this a happy occasion? What was this? You even need to put a "Happy" sign on it? " Duan Moyan puzzledly looked towards Feng Xue. When Feng Xue heard this, she subconsciously lowered her eyes. But before she could reply, a figure suddenly walked out of the main hall, swaying.

"The third sister is back? Oh, did His Highness the Crown Prince bring it back personally? "It seems like this little brother of mine treats the Third Emperor even better than my elder sister …" When she saw Duan Xingyi, she couldn't help but glare fiercely at him. If it wasn't for Duan Xingyi who caused so much trouble, Duan Mu Yan would have definitely died today.

The moment she saw Duan Zitong, her heart ached, but she replied in a gentle voice.

"What is the meaning of not visiting the Xiao Duke Palace with this royal sister?" Whenever he saw her, he would think of her request in the throne room.

"What do you mean? Oh, I almost forgot, when I asked royal father to marry Yuxuan, my royal sister had already fainted, but it doesn't matter, the wedding will be held three days later. By then, my royal sister's body should have almost fully recovered. Not to mention the absence of the Old Prince Xiao and the absence of the Qi King … "Therefore, I must trouble you, sister-in-law, to worry too much about Yuxuan's marriage …" Duan Zitong's domineering expression made Duan Xingyi extremely disgusted and disgusted. However, due to Duan Zitong's status, he couldn't say too much at this moment.

Her heart felt even more painful, so painful that Duan Muyan felt like fainting. However, she repeatedly warned herself that she could not allow herself to collapse just like that.

However, according to what Mu Yan knows, the Emperor is recruiting Yu Xuan as his consort, so the grand marriage should be held in the Imperial Palace. Even if Mu Yan wanted to help, she could do so because there is nothing she could do. Duan Mu Yan endured the pain in her heart as she replied indifferently, her eyes unperturbed.

"My royal sister only knows one thing, and that's why she asked royal father to set up the ceremony at the Xiao manor. Originally, the marriage of Zitong was supposed to be held in the imperial palace, but Zitong's heart ached for Yuxuan, so he specifically requested that our royal father set it up for him." As for that day? Of course royal father would personally come, but you were the only sister-in-law in Yuxuan, so according to etiquette, royal sister would sit on the same level as royal father, accepting the kowtows of the catalpas and Yuxuan … In addition, your royal sister is in a good mood, so the things that are arranged by the Xiao family will have to be done personally by Zitong. This way, your royal sister won't overwork and miss the auspicious day three days from now … " Even though Duan Muyan's face was expressionless, Duan Zitong knew very well that at this very moment, her heart should have been immersed in the Ten Thousand Year Freezing Pool, almost frozen into ice.

"Thank you, royal sister …" To the side, Duan Xingyi steadied Duan Mu Yan's expression as he looked at Duan Zitong with a gentle gaze.

"Congratulations to royal sister for getting what you want. Xingyi will send the three royal sisters back to their room first and then come back later to help you arrange everything." Duan Xingyi pushed the words out of his mouth, and before Duan Zitong could say anything, he pulled Duan Mu Yan away from the front courtyard and headed straight for the arch.

Looking at Duan Xingyi's concerned figure, Duan Zitong's gaze was as sharp as a blade. An unconcealable rage was floating in his chest. He had her man, but she stole his younger brother. Duan Mu Yan, I'm irreconcilable with you.

"Princess, where should I hang this?" At the side, Feng Xue'er raised her hand and asked carefully.

Duan Zitong sucked in a deep breath as a brilliant smile appeared on her face once more. No matter what, she had made a profit. She was about to be married to Xiao Yuxuan, and the fact that this happened almost made him float up into the clouds.

"Tape it to the entrance!" Be careful when you post them, I'll reward you for it! " In the dark, Qing Lan held the red silk in her hand. Her heart was filled with an indescribable knot as she thought, "Even if Xiao Yuxuan didn't marry Duan Zitong, would she still look at me?" Don't be silly, I'm just a servant, and a … It was impossible for Xiao Yuxuan to be with a woman who had lost her chastity. These days, she was only concerned with Duan Zitong's matters. After the wedding, it was time to tell Duan Zitong that she was going to be on leave, so she had to concentrate on tracking down that Ghost Luosha. As long as she avenged her parents, she would do everything in her power to kill him.

Inside the room, Duan Xingyi helped Duan Mu Yan up onto the bed, looked around before subconsciously speaking.

"Where's Zi Min?" In the entire room, other than Duan Muyan, there was no one else who served him. This caused Duan Xingyi to be at a loss.

"It's time for her to take care of Yao'er. Your Highness, it's getting late, I should go back now …" Even though they were siblings who weren't even close to each other, Duan Mu Yan still didn't want to be alone in the same room with Duan Xingyi. That subtle feeling made her uneasy and even a little hesitant.

"You regret it?" The sudden question caused Duan Mu Yan to be stunned for a moment, then she looked suspiciously at Duan Xingyi.

"Regret? What does His Highness mean? "

"If I had accepted royal father's gift back then, then the one who is currently getting married to Xiao Yuxuan would not be the mistress of the Third Emperor. After seeing this scene, would you not regret it?" Duan Xingyi's thin lips slightly pursed, the corner of his lips curving into a faint arc.

"Heh …" If regret worked, then Mu Yan really had too many things to regret. She shouldn't have let Duan Yu bring Yao'er away, she shouldn't have plotted Su Jin Xiu to have Xiao Jin Feng die in vain, she shouldn't have married into the Xiao family. Even if she had to resist with all her might, she shouldn't have left mufei, and she shouldn't have even come to this world! But was there any use in regretting it? Can you change the facts? " He really wanted to use his sturdy arm to make her cry. Yet, just like that, she endured. At this moment, loneliness lingered around her. Suddenly, she felt cold. This world would never have spring again.

Looking at those helpless eyes, Duan Xingyi let out a deep sigh.

"Actually, everyone has their own difficulties and side that no one knows about. Sometimes, in order to survive, we did many things wrong, or we may have chosen the wrong direction, but since we've already made our choice, then we'll persevere. There will be a day when everything will come to an end." If he had a choice, he would never think of becoming the Emperor of the Southern Yue. It was only because his good imperial brother had forced him into a corner that he had chosen this path.

"But what kind of result would make up for everything we lost …" His eyes turned to look at her. Perhaps the only thing he could choose was to love this woman, and without making a sound, Duan Xingyi placed his hand on her jade shoulder, slowly letting her lean into his embrace. At this moment, Duan Mu Yan no longer cared about who his hands belonged to, as long as he could vent the grief and indignation in her heart, what did his shoulder matter?

She really had to endure the pain. Her heart was broken, and she could even hear her heart bleeding. Why did Yuxuan want to punish her like this? And why did she want to marry Duan Zitong? Did he not know her own heart?

The tears on his pale face were so obvious that even when he fell asleep, the tears at the corners of his eyes had yet to dry. Although Duan Xingyi really wanted to hug Duan Mu Yan for a while longer, there was still Duan Ling Tian outside. He wasn't sure if Duan Zitong would rush in, so he reluctantly pulled Duan Mu Yan onto the bed and tucked her in.

Duan Xingyi quietly sat there as he slowly reached out his hand towards Duan Mu Yan's face and slowly stroked the hair that was disheveled on her face to the side. He slowly bent his body over and his lips parted to brush past her lips like a dragonfly touching the water.
