"Where are you going, royal sister?" A trace of doubt could be heard in her clear voice. Although Duan Xingyi was questioning Duan Zitong, his gaze was fixated on Duan Mu Yan. For the past few days, he had been busy weakening the national power of the Badlands Empire, and he rarely had the time to visit Duan Mu Yan. Even if he did, he would only glance at her from afar and never approach her.

"It's alright. Is His Highness going out?" Even though Duan Zitong knew that everyone in the palace knew that Xiao Yuxuan was addicted to drugs, no one dared to reveal it to his face. In fact, it was a good way to comfort himself.

"Let's go to the barracks. Since Imperial Sis has matters to attend to, Xing Yi won't disturb us …" Duan Xingyi pursed his lips, looking at his with eyes as soft as starlight, which caused one's heart to palpitate. Duan Zitong didn't pay much attention to it, as the only thing that she was concerned about was Xiao Yuxuan's life and death.

Feeling Duan Xingyi's burning gaze, Duan Mu Yan subconsciously lowered her eyes and avoided his gaze. As long as he saw that pair of eyes, many scenes would appear without warning. He could not soften her heart, and definitely could not soften it, despite how many times he had helped his. But she had a final confrontation with the man in front of her, and the situation now was no longer her personal grudge.

After Duan Xingyi left, Duan Zitong quickened her steps while Duan Mu Yan followed behind. Her heart slowly calmed down.

Yichun Courtyard. Duan Xingyi's mind was filled with longing as he recalled the scene when he first met Duan Mu Yan. His heart still had not calmed down.

"Master?" Ye Li felt Duan Xingyi's absent-mindedness and called out softly. By his side, Leng Bing Xin had also seen everything. She had never seen Duan Xingyi's absent-minded expression before. A trace of sadness flashed in his heart. He believed that his master would definitely not fall in love with a woman like Mo Da, he definitely wouldn't!

"Cough cough …" The one who is facing imminent danger is to uncover that mysterious organization. I have a feeling that this organization will become the biggest obstacle for us to succeed the position of the leader! " Duan Xingyi recovered his consciousness and said solemnly.

"But what do we need to do to get that organization to act again?" Ye Li suspiciously looked at Duan Xingyi. That organization was so mysterious. They knew their every move like the back of their hand, but it wasn't easy to lure them into a trap.

"Right now, there are no longer any ministers in the court who want them to take the risk. However, there is one person who can rouse their anger!" Duan Xingyi's gaze turned slightly cold. He wasn't a person who would waste his time killing a donkey, but he didn't need to be so benevolent towards an official of the Badlands Court.

"Master is talking about Wu Bingcheng?" Leng Bing Xin suddenly said.

"Yes, everyone we deal with is imprisoned by him. If he does something against the will of the heavens, I believe that mysterious organization will not ignore him!" Duan Xingyi said confidently.

"Master means for Wu Bingcheng to cause trouble for Dou Jing and Qi Hu's mansion?" Ye Li also had an epiphany and analyzed.

"Since that organization can rescue Xu Tianshu and Liu Li, they will definitely care a lot about Dou Jing and Qi Hu's family members. As long as Wu Bingcheng goes overboard, they will definitely make a move!" As long as we lay in ambush and catch their leader, we will naturally know who is behind them! " Duan Xingyi's gaze turned cold. No matter who it was, they couldn't stop him from dying.

At the entrance of the Imperial Hospital, Duan Mu Yan did not take another step.

"Why did you stop?" Sensing that Duan Mu Yan wasn't following them, Duan Zitong turned around and asked doubtfully.

"I presume that Princess has already settled her Prince Consort here. Since that's the case, it's about time for Princess to leave. Within a month, Princess shouldn't take even half a step into the Imperial Hospital." Duan Muyan resolutely stated, showing no intentions of backing down. Duan Zitong was enraged upon hearing this, but she didn't know how to refute it. She had already agreed to Duan Moyan's request in the Xiao family. For the sake of Xiao Yuxuan's life, there was no room for regret.

"One month, you must remember it well! Doctor Zheng! " A fire seemed to be burning in his eyes, but he was unable to do anything to Duan Mu Yan. If she didn't love Xiao Yuxuan so much, she definitely wouldn't have let herself suffer this injustice. Inside the Imperial Physician Courtyard, Zheng Tingze walked out of the main hall upon hearing the sound and saw Duan Zitong and Duan Mu Yan facing each other.

"This humble official greets the Seventh Princess and the Qi Princess." In front of outsiders, Zheng Ting Ze didn't reveal the slightest bit of his relationship with Duan Mu Yan.

"Doctor Zheng, listen carefully. I'll leave Prince Consort here in the imperial hospital for one month, and in this one month, I'll need Princess Qi to take care of him. If anything happens, be careful, I'll flatten your imperial hospital!" Duan Zitong's language was full of thorns, so the meaning was extremely clear.

"This humble subject will do his best." In the end, Duan Zitong was unable to withstand her determination and after glaring fiercely at Duan Mu Yan, she turned around and left.

Zheng Ting Ze watched Duan Zitong's leaving figure as she slowly walked to Duan Mu Yan's side.

"I've been hesitating on whether I should tell you or not. But now, it seems that it's logical for Seventh Princess to tell you about this." She knew that her disciple already carried too many burdens. If she added in Xiao Yuxuan's addiction, she didn't know if she would be able to hold on.

"Thank you for your understanding, Master. In fact, Qinglan had already sought me out long ago, and Mu Yan had the same thoughts as Master. If I had entered the palace in exchange for Duan Zitong's ridicule and ridicule, I would definitely not have done such a reckless thing." Her gentle voice contained a trace of coldness mixed within. Duan Mu Yan looked at Zheng Ting Ze, and Zheng Ting Ze naturally understood what she meant.

"Go in, the Ping Wang is in the innermost room. He's already awoken." Zheng Ting Ze's gaze shifted to the row of rooms on the left as he spoke softly. After nodding her head slightly, Duan Mu Yan hurriedly walked towards the room.

The current Duan Moyan was indeed calm and steady, but what followed was perhaps that heart. If it was before, Zheng Ting Ze believed that if she knew about Xiao Yuxuan's matter, it would be extremely difficult to see him. Although Zheng Ting Ze didn't know if such a change was good or bad, it was, after all, the type of change that allowed Duan Mu Yan to safely and stably live until now.

Outside the door, Duan Mu Yan hesitated for a moment but didn't knock. Her heart was unable to calm down, it was as though there were raging waves in her heart. She initially thought that she had already put down the door, but that figure had already been engraved in her heart. At this moment, she didn't know how to face Xiao Yuxuan. She was as calm as his eldest sister-in-law, yet she still shed tears and confided her love for him.

After a while, Duan Mu Yan finally pushed open the door. She was unable to remain calm, but she was unable to immediately throw herself into Xiao Yuxuan's embrace as she slowly walked towards the bed, closing the door behind her. As the distance between the two of them closed, her figure became more and more distinct, her withered hand hanging on the edge of the bed, and her fingers that were originally over the edge of the jade flute. Now, however, her heart ached as she looked at Xiao Yuxuan's pale and emaciated face.

Xiao Yuxuan quietly lay on the bed. Even though he had heard the door open and knew that someone had come in, her empty eyes were still staring directly at the ceiling, as though he was looking beyond the bed. However, when he heard that choked voice, Xiao Yuxuan's eyes subconsciously shifted and his heart abruptly stopped!

He originally thought that only after death would he be able to see the figure that was lingering in his heart, so he wholeheartedly wished to die, and was only willing to accompany her by her side. But now, Duan Mu Yan was standing right in front of him, and all of the shock was written on her face.

"Mu... "Mu Yan …" Xiao Yuxuan instinctively stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but when he saw his own two fingers that were as thin as dried wood, Xiao Yuxuan seemed to suddenly realize something and used his hands to pull up the blanket to cover himself.

"You can leave now …" Her hoarse voice was filled with immense pain. Separated by the blanket, Duan Muyan could clearly hear the painful cries of a small beast. Such grief, such despair, it caused one's heart to break.

"Is that the first thing you said to me after your wedding?" Duan Mu Yan's voice trembled as she extended a hand to wipe her tears before slowly walking towards the bed.

"Sorry …" "I have let you down. Now, please leave and don't come over …" He had never dreamt that Duan Mu Yan would appear here and see his miserable state. He did not want to, he did not want such an expression to remain in Duan Mu Yan's memory.

"Failed... "Yuxuan, if I had left this evil palace with you then, you wouldn't be blaming me today, right?" Her gentle voice suppressed the sorrow in her heart. Duan Mu Yan was very clear that what she wanted to do now was to rouse Xiao Yu Xuan, not to make her feel sad or in despair. Even though he was sad, he could only swallow his tears.

"No …" Not... Everything was my fault. I didn't take good care of the First Prince, didn't fulfill my promise to you, and didn't abide by our oath … Cough cough … Mu Yan, you can leave now. Xiao Yuxuan pulled at the blanket with all his might, afraid that they would meet eyes with each other again. That heart-wrenching pain was even more unbearable than when he was detoxifying himself.

"You really don't want to see me? Do you really hate me that much? Seems like Mu Yan is overthinking things. Farewell! " Suddenly, she turned around and strode towards the door. Sensing that there was no movement from behind her, Duan Mu Yan made a small movement and fell to the ground.

"Err …" In the next second, the familiar figure had already arrived in front of her. This time, Duan Mu Yan saw even more clearly, the gaze that was as gentle as the moonlight had lost its usual luster, her eyes were sunken, her cheekbones were protruding, her lips had lost all color, and her face was a dark yellow without a trace. However, Duan Mu Yan knew that this was Xiao Yuxuan.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Yuxuan's hoarse voice contained an unconcealable sense of anxiety. He looked worriedly at Duan Mu Yan, afraid that there would be any mishaps. In the meantime, both of his hands were tightly grasping Xiao Yu Xuan's arms as a resplendent splendor flickered within her eyes.

"You lied to me …" Xiao Yuxuan sensed that something was wrong and wanted to leave, but was held back by Duan Moyan.
