The three of them began to fight on top of the roof. All of the gazes of the people and guests from the entire Xiao manor shot toward the three of them. At this moment, the steel-masked man had already been beaten to the point where he didn't have the strength to fight back. Even so, he still didn't let go of Xiao Yuxuan's hand.

"Listen up, release the Prince. For the sake of today's celebration, this crown prince will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, don't blame me for trying to kill you!" The iron masked man was no match for him, and his chest was fiercely slapped by Duan Xingyi. Xiao Yuxuan had originally wanted to stop him, but with more than a hundred pairs of eyes watching from below, he basically didn't have the chance to save them.

Right at this moment, a flash of red dress suddenly appeared, and Duan Xingyi stepped in between the three of them. Duan Xingyi was stunned, and at this moment, Shangguan Wuye took advantage of Duan Xingyi's absent-mindedness to smack Xiao Yuxuan away with his palm, then he reached out and slapped the Ironmask's acupoints twice. By the time Duan Xingyi reacted, Shangguan Wuye had already fled with the Ironmask.

"Ping Wang, it was really thrilling but not dangerous. This person is truly strange. This is the first time I've seen someone snatch the bride away …" Looking at Xiao Yuxuan, who was clutching his chest, the corners of Duan Xingyi's mouth curled into a smile. Xiao Yuxuan was speechless. Not even sparing Duan Xingyi a glance, he turned around and was about to return to the Xiao Residence when he saw Duan Mu Yan's cold gaze. His heart suddenly felt as though it had been ruthlessly pierced by a sharp blade. I really want to, but I can't...

After this false alarm, everyone returned to their normal state. Although they still had some lingering fear in their hearts, with the Emperor present, no matter how many questions the guests had, they didn't dare to rashly ask.

"Fortunately, Ping Wang was not snatched away. Mu Yan, do you know how many guards there are?" Duan Chen looked at Duan Mu Yan with a profound gaze, and couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

He was clearly suspecting that all of this was his own masterpiece. Heh, this royal father that she had been calling his mother for over twenty years, not only did he not believe in his mother, he did not even trust his. Holding back the pain, Duan Mu Yan walked into the main hall with a light smile, and when he turned around and sat down, his gaze turned to Duan Chen.

"The emperor really loves the Seventh Princess dearly, envious of the bystanders. It's a pity that this subject's in-laws aren't around and there's no one left in this world who dotes on this subject. This person really can't be compared to others …" She had a light smile on her face, and before Duan Chen could say anything, he had already shifted his gaze back to him. Duan Chen knew that Duan Moyan was blaming himself. Just as he was about to reply, a pair of newbies walked into the main hall.

"First bow to the heavens and earth …" Under the red handkerchief, Duan Zitong's blood-red lips slowly formed a strange arc. Duan Mu Yan, I didn't expect you to actually use this move.

"Second bow to the hall …" When she saw Duan Mu Yan, she could no longer suppress the pain in her heart, and her eyes were filled with the icy cold gaze of Duan Mu Yan. Her heart suddenly felt pain, as if it was being cut by a blunt blade, and he could even hear his own heart dripping blood.

Feeling Xiao Yuxuan's abnormality, Duan Zitong couldn't help lightly tugging at the red silk. Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help but come back to his senses; he almost didn't know how he leaned over his and could only feel a pair of eyes glaring at him, causing him to lose all courage to continue staring.

Seeing Xiao Yuxuan slowly bending over in front of her, Duan Moyan clenched her teeth tightly, subconsciously clenching her fists tightly. She allowed her nails to sink into her flesh, but it was not even a thousandth of her heartache, repeatedly telling herself not to cry, not to let anyone see her weakness. She wanted to be strong, she wanted to look down on everyone!

"Husband and wife greet each other …" Master Cheng's resounding voice interrupted everyone's thoughts. Xiao Yuxuan was well aware that if he were to continue bowing, he would be completely unworthy of Duan Mu Yan. What to do? His heart was struggling desperately as he stared at Duan Mu Yan, unwilling to kowtow even after a long time.

At this moment, Duan Zitong seemed to have felt that Xiao Yuxuan was acting strangely. He continuously tugged on the red silk. However, no matter how hard she pulled on the red silk, Xiao Yu Xuan continued to stare unblinkingly at her.

When Duan Chen saw this, he became extremely worried. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Duan Mu Yan opening her mouth.

"Ping Wang is regretting that your son is not sitting on my father's seat, right? I believe that when royal father hears about your wedding, he will be like Mu Yan and will give you endless blessings, hoping that you and Seventh Princess will love each other and grow old together. " There was not a single ripple in her clear voice. Duan Moyan's gentle gaze was as resplendent as a beautiful flower.

At this moment, her heart had shattered into ice and she fell to the ground, turning into a bubble. At this moment, her heart had shattered into ice and she fell to the ground, turning into a bubble.

"Husband and wife greet each other …" Master Cheng looked nervously at the pair of newlyweds in the main hall and couldn't help but feel his heart speed up. This was a grand wedding of princesses. If there was a chance, even if it had nothing to do with her, he would still be punished.

Duan Zitong pulled on the red satin cloth, causing Xiao Yuxuan to involuntarily lean forward. Right at this moment, Duan Zitong obediently bowed. The last act of etiquette ended just like this. Everyone present let out a sigh of relief and returned to their respective seats.

"The groom sends the bride to her bridal chamber …" After Master Cheng shouted these words, he couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead. Xiao Yuxuan walked forward numbly, while Duan Zitong followed closely behind. After watching Xiao Yuxuan and Duan Zitong leave the main hall, Duan Chen slowly stood up and was about to say something when he saw Duan Mu Yan bowing to him.

"This subject shall respectfully send Your Majesty off …" Duan Chen's euphemistic order to expel his daughter was a clear indication of the conflict between father and daughter. Duan Chen knew that the misunderstanding between him and Duan Mu Yan was no longer clear. Perhaps he had really lost this daughter of his, no matter how unwilling he was.

After Duan Chen helplessly left, Duan Mu Yan's body started to sway violently. If it wasn't for Zi Min, he would have already fainted on the ground.

"Esteemed wangfei, let me help you return to your room to rest …" Zi Min was naturally aware that this kind of scene was undoubtedly the greatest blow to Duan Muyan. If she were to continue staying here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"This won't do, right now I'm the only one left in the Xiao family to be the head of the household. On this kind of occasion, if I leave again, it'll be hard to avoid being targeted by others. "I must persevere, be it for the sake of Rui Feng or the Xiao family's elder, Zi Min, go and get the jug of wine. I want to toast …" The more time passed, the stronger she would become. She had to let everyone know that she could support the entire Xiao Duke Palace, and even more so, the entire Great Mo.

Looking at the entire courtyard filled with cups and cups of wine, Duan Mu Yan quietly stood in front of the main hall. The long red carpet made her heart ache even more; she originally thought that alcohol would be able to relieve her worries, but no matter how hard she tried, her heart was still as clear as ever.

"Esteemed wangfei, let this servant accompany you to your room to rest …" It was as if she had lost her soul as she followed Zi Min into the backyard. The night was getting darker, and when she passed by Xiao Yuxuan's and Duan Tong's new room, Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but stop, and her misty eyes started crying. She really hoped that everything was just a dream, that as long as she woke up from the dream, everything would be restored to its original state. She had the love of her mother, her royal brother, and the promise of the Sea Alliance.

"Princess, things are already like this. No matter how sad you are, you can't salvage anything. Why don't you let go of us? At least you still have us!" Zi Min could feel the tremors in Duan Mu Yan's body, and she consoled her worriedly.

"That's right, I still have you guys. Luckily, I still have you guys …" She had only taken two steps when the candle flame in the bridal chamber suddenly went out. At this moment, with a loud 'bang', Duan Mu Yan's heart broke, and his vision turned pitch black.

"Esteemed wangfei …" Zi Min said in fear. She held Duan Mu Yan in her arms and quickly left the area, returning to her own room.

"Why is the light off?" The clear and cold voice contained a trace of reprimand. The lamp was lit again, reflecting Xiao Yuxuan's unparalleled beauty. However, her face appeared as if it had been sealed in ice without the slightest emotion.

Yuxuan, we're already husband and wife. You can stop lifting my bridal veil or drinking my wine, but at this hour, as the saying goes, a spring snack is worth a thousand gold. You can't just let me sit with you until daybreak, right?" "Ever since he entered the bridal room, Xiao Yuxuan had been sitting on a chair without a word or an expression. He was like a zombie, sitting there and not saying a word no matter how much she tried to persuade his. She had had had enough.

"Actually... "You should have known long ago that this was our result. Forgive me for not being able to sleep in the same bed with you, but if the princess is dissatisfied, we can complain to the emperor. No matter what punishment we receive, Yuxuan will gladly accept it." His heart ached incomparably, and he didn't dare to leave. He was afraid that the moment he saw Duan Mu Yan, he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to hug her in his embrace.

"You! "Yu Xuan, you shouldn't have done that. Now that we're legitimate husband and wife, are you going to let me live a life as a widow?" Suppressing her anger, Duan Zitong stood up and walked over to Xiao Yuxuan.

"Sorry, at least for now, I can't accept our relationship …" Xiao Yuxuan sighed softly and closed her eyes. At this moment, the image of Duan Moyan appeared in his mind. Seeing Xiao Yuxuan like this, Duan Zitong gritted her teeth.

"Yuxuan, no matter how much you resist, I'm still your wife. This is an indisputable fact …" As Duan Zitong spoke, she slowly lifted her jade-like fingers and casually undid the buttons and belt on her wedding dress. A strange light flashed across her feminine eyes. As long as one was a man, there was no one who wasn't lustful. She didn't believe that Xiao Yuxuan was an exception.

After a long time, Xiao Yuxuan could feel Duan Zitong holding her hand and slowly reaching forward. When he touched an indescribable warmth, Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help but open her eyes. Everything before her caused him to be shocked beyond belief.
