"Young Master's good intentions, Meng Yan understands. Meng Yan is a worldly woman, and is used to the atmosphere here. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is a filthy place, where one can understand what's going on. Meng Yan, on the other hand, thinks this place is my heart." Duan Mu Yan flinched as she rejected him, but she was still looking at Shangguan Wu Ye warily from the bottom of her heart.
"Lady Meng Yan, there is no need for you to be so polite. I promise that after Lady Meng Yan arrives at the Moon Palace, she will be a thousand times more comfortable than here." As Shangguan Wuye spoke, he stood up and walked towards Duan Mu Yan, his slender fingers about to touch her cheeks. Duan Muyan was originally full of hostility towards Shangguan Wuye. Coupled with Shangguan Wuye's reckless actions, Duan Muyan did not hesitate as she raised the teacup on the table and threw it towards Shangguan Wuye.
Although his kung fu was unparalleled, he could not afford to suppress such a sneak attack. At this moment, Shangguan Wuye stood there like a drowned chicken, speechless.
"Miss Meng Yan, I only saw that the pearl hairpin on your hair was about to fall off, so I wanted to help you. You …" There's no need to have such a huge reaction, right? " Duan Muyan subconsciously touched the hairpin in her hair upon hearing her words. Sure enough, it was about to fall off.
"Ugh …" "I am truly sorry, but Meng Yan was not thinking properly, so I did not bring a cup with me. I hope young master will forgive me …" Could it be that she was too nervous?
"I'm fine. I guess in lady's eyes, I'm not any good person …" Shangguan Wuye said helplessly. Duan Mu Yan was speechless. She immediately pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and was about to wipe Shangguan Wu Ye's back, but was rejected by him.
"Meng Yan, I'm really sorry for your sudden outburst …." She casually passed the silk handkerchief to Shangguan Wuye.
"I don't blame the lady. Perhaps this one was lacking in manners …" After this incident, Shangguan Wuye knew that he would not get any results if he continued to chat. After handing the silk handkerchief back to Duan Mu Yan, Shangguan Wu Ye made an excuse to leave after exchanging a few words of greeting.
The very next second after Shangguan Wuye left, the door of the Pavilion of Immortal Desire opened leisurely. Leng Bingxin walked out with a suspicious look on her face. Shangguan Wuye? Why would he appear here?
"What are you looking at?" When he looked back, he saw Duan Xingyi impressively standing in front of his. Behind him, Ye Li had already entered her room, and perhaps because he was too focused earlier, he actually didn't even know that he had entered her room.
"Reporting to Master, this Subordinate just saw Shangguan Wuye leave the Purple Butterfly Pavilion. Could there be some clues behind?" Leng Bing Xin asked suspiciously. Duan Xingyi immediately leaped out of the Agarwood Restaurant upon hearing his voice. On the stairs to the second floor, he saw a familiar figure walking out of the Spring Festival Courtyard.
His heart jolted slightly. Shangguan Wuye had always been a bad girl, how could he have come to such a place? There was only one answer, and that was Cai Die! He believed that Cai Die had already seen through Meng Yan, that was why Shangguan Wuye was here! This bad friend of her was really keeping more and more secrets!
After returning to the Desire Immortal Pavilion, Duan Xingyi did not mention Shangguan Wuye for the time being. He had come to find Leng Bingxin and Ye Li for an even more important mission.
"Assassinate Xu Tianshu and Liu Li?" Leng Bingxin looked suspiciously at Duan Xingyi.
"That's right, they've already requested for Duan Chen to leave. He will be leaving the capital in two days. There aren't many generals that can fight him. The two of them are among them. If they don't die, they will be a great threat to the Southern Yue!" Duan Xingyi coldly said.
"Yes sir!" Leng Bingxin and Ye Li looked at each other and nodded resolutely.
When Qing Lan came into the inner room carrying the ginseng soup, she saw Duan Zitong caressing Xiao Yuxuan on the side of her legs while Xiao Yuxuan was drinking the Five Stones Powder.
"Princess?!" Qing Lan looked at the scene in disbelief as the soup bowl in her hand shattered into pieces. Duan Zitong raised her eyes, which were red and swollen.
"Yuxuan, I'll head out first. I'll be back soon …" An extremely gentle voice came out of Duan Zitong's mouth as Xiao Yuxuan suddenly raised his gaze to look at him.
"Phoenix …" After the word 'raving' was used, she continued to absorb the Five Stones Powder. A trace of a helpless smile appeared on Duan Zitong's face. It was so bitter. When Duan Zitong came out, Qing Lan rushed to her side.
"Princess, why did you allow Prince Consort to suck that kind of thing? "If this goes on, Prince Consort's life won't be long …" Qing Lan's voice became choked with sobs as she looked at Duan Zitong in disbelief.
"Then what should I do? Did you see the wounds on Yu Xuan's body? I saw him being tied up and biting through several wooden sticks. Did you see the blood at the corner of his mouth? No... I really can't take it anymore! "I really can't bear to see him torture himself like this. Rather than having him do this, I might as well let him absorb it. Only by doing so will he not suffer …" Duan Zitong's tears fell like rain, and his entire body was shaking with excitement. His heart was suffering from the pain every second.
"Princess …" Qing Lan could feel Duan Zitong's agony, but if Xiao Yuxuan continued to absorb it, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Qing Lan …" What am I going to do? I don't want to harm him, but seeing him suffer so much, I really can't take it anymore. These days, whenever she saw Xiao Yuxuan desperately tormenting her, she would wish that she could bear the pain for him. Until this morning, she had seen how much pain the hemp rope binding Xiao Yuxuan had become embedded in Xiao Yuxuan's flesh! Therefore, Duan Ziteng had personally removed all of the bindings on Xiao Yuxuan's body and personally brought her powder. She watched as Xiao Yuxuan greedily sucked it in one gulp, but her heart was in even more pain than before!
"Princess, no matter what, we can't let Prince Consort continue to ingest that kind of thing. Otherwise, it'll harm him!" Your servant will go to the imperial hospital and call for Imperial Physician Zheng. We'll think of a solution together, and I believe that Prince Consort will definitely be able to overcome this obstacle! " Qing Lan consoled him as she left the Phoenix Storage Pavilion.
In the inner room, Xiao Yuxuan had clearly heard the words of Duan Zitong and Qing Lan. However, her emaciated face did not have the slightest hint of emotion, and his empty eyes stared at the five stone powder in front of him. As long as he could forget everything, he was willing to fall, even if it meant eternal doom, and there was no hope for him now.
The door creaked open. When Duan Zitong walked into the room, Xiao Yuxuan remained in a semi-reclining position, greedily sucking on the Five Rock Powder. It was as if he was the only person left in the world.
"Jade Xuan …" How can I get you to quit this damn Five Stones Powder? How can I get you back to normal? You hate me, don't you? But have you ever thought about it! Even if you weren't with me, it would be impossible for you and Duan Mu Yan to become husband and wife. She is the Qi Royal Consort, and thus won't be able to marry you no matter what. If you said that it was royal father's fault at that time, then when royal father wanted to marry her to you, she refused in front of everyone. Yu Xuan, forget about her! I will love you for the rest of my life! My love is no less than hers … " Tears flowed down her cheeks and fell onto the bed. Despite Duan Zitong's heartfelt words, Xiao Yuxuan didn't even raise his eyes to look at her. He only quietly took in the powder, as if he was immersed in his own world.
Imperial Hospital. The moment Qing Lan saw Zheng Tingze, he fell to his knees, his swollen eyes full of pleading.
"Imperial Physician Zheng, I beg of you, please save Prince Consort Qing Lan. Just now …" Just now, the Seventh Princess couldn't bear letting her Prince Consort suffer that kind of torture, so she loosened the bindings on her horse and even allowed him to suffer the five stones powder! The princess had no other choice! Doctor Zheng! "Qinglan, please …" Without waiting for Zheng Tingze to react, Qinglan fiercely kowtowed to the ground, returning the kowtow one at a time.
"Qing Lan!" Don't be like this, even if you don't beg me, I will do my best. But I have said it before, even if I have to detoxify it, it must be done with the consent of the Prince Consort! Now that you've seen Prince Consort's condition, he doesn't even want to stop his poison. We're unable to persuade him! " He knew in his heart that Xiao Yuxuan was simply running away. He didn't want to face everything that was happening right now, so he was willing to immerse himself in the illusions brought about by the Five Stones Powder.
"Willing and willing … Right now, who can make her willingly do as she pleases … " Qing Lan spoke in a dejected manner, her mind suddenly flashing with the image of Duan Moyan. Perhaps no one else but her could turn the Prince Consort into the original, untainted by the wind and dust.
"Qinglan, you go back first. I'll think of a way to alleviate the pain caused by Prince Consort's death …" This was all he could do. The current Xiao Yu Xuan was no longer the same Xiao Yun, and he did not want his disciple to wade through muddy water.
Qing Lan turned around and left the hospital with a look of disappointment on her face.
"Come out …" After Qinglan walked out of the imperial hospital, Zheng Tingze spoke indifferently. That person came with Qing Lan. One of them was in the light while the other was in the dark.
I never thought that the woman I took a fancy to would have a heart that never belonged to me …" This should be my life. " "The cold voice contained a trace of injury, and Qian Ru stared fixedly at Qing Lan's departing back as a trace of sorrow rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Maybe she's just loyal to Duan Zitong." Zheng Tingze unwillingly consoled his. In fact, the day Xiao Yuxuan became addicted to drugs, he had felt that Qinglan was too concerned about Xiao Yuxuan. This kind of concern far exceeded the scope of master and servant.
"Heh, I don't think she's that loyal to Duan Zitong. No matter what, I didn't keep my Junior Sister that year, and now I will never let go of Qinglan!" Qian Ru's voice suddenly became as cold as ice, and a cold ray of light shot out from his eyes.
"Xiao Yu Xuan has already been tortured to the point of disfigured by the Five Rock Powder. You won't do anything to him, will you?" Zheng Ting Ze solemnly looked back at Qian Ru Ming, his heart slightly trembling. No matter what, Xiao Yuxuan was still the person Duan Moyan cared the most about. He could not allow anything to happen to her.
"Heh …" Since I didn't kill you, I won't kill Xiao Yuxuan. I don't believe that Qing Lan won't feel anything from me! " Qian Ru Ming said firmly.
"Sometimes, loving a person doesn't need anything in return. As long as you can see her happy, that's enough." Zheng Tingze spoke dejectedly as the figure of his Junior Sister flashed through his mind.
"Are you talking about that Meng Yan? I thought you would be completely loyal to Junior Sister, but I didn't expect you to be a normal person too! Furthermore, you actually chose such a beautiful woman. In this life, I will not be as fortunate as you! " After knowing Zheng Tingze's identity, Qian Ruming had gone to the Spring Festival, but other than knowing that Meng Yan was a renowned courtesan, she had gained nothing.
