Duan Mu Yan gently pried open Xiao Yu Xuan's fingers and slowly covered his face with the brocade. As she looked at his smiling face, her tears silently fell.

Without hesitation, Duan Mu Yan hastily left the room and headed straight for Zheng Ting Ze's residence. The moment she entered the residence, Duan Mu Yan heard the ruckus within.

"Zi Min, don't be impulsive. Maybe this has nothing to do with not regretting. Just listen to his explanation!" Yao'er pulled Zi Min tightly as she tried to persuade her.

"What do you mean we have nothing to do with him? Then where did he go? He was obviously the first one to arrive at the Wu Residence but the one who got caught was Brother Wu Hen, can he explain it?" "It was clearly a trap he set up to collude with Duan Xingyi …" Zi Min's eyes were wide open as she glared coldly at the mask that had remained unchanging throughout the ages. She almost roared when she opened her mouth to speak.

"No regrets, say something!" Even though Yao'er wanted to excuse Xiao Jin Feng, she couldn't find the reason for his sudden disappearance.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I didn't betray Traceless Aftermaths, and at that time, I was already hit with an acupoint, and was saved by a mysterious person. When he let me go, I rushed back, but I didn't expect …" He knew that he would definitely be misunderstood, but he had no choice but to return. Since he had already decided to use his unrepentant identity to protect Duan Mu Yan, he would not regret it.

"Mysterious person? Who are you trying to trick … Since that person can save you, why can't he save Brother Wu Hen! I will kill you to avenge Big Brother Yan! " Zi Min could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She flung Yao'er away and rushed forward with her sword drawn. At this moment, Duan Mu Yan walked into the room with quick steps.

"Zi Min, stop!" Her voice contained a trace of majesty, Duan Mu Yan stood in front of Xiao Jin Feng, looking straight at Zi Min.

"Princess!" He's a spy! " There was fire in Zi Min's eyes as she pointed furiously at Xiao Jingfeng.

"He's not! If he was a spy, there was no need for Duan Xingyi to capture Wu Hen. "Obviously, they don't know our background. I believe they won't regret this!" He had once suspected this man wearing a mask. However, at this moment, she trusted him more than anyone else, and this sort of indescribable trust caused Duan Mu Yan to feel that it was inconceivable. However, that feeling was still a real existence.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master." Her hoarse voice was filled with emotion, but he couldn't hear it. Through the mask, his pair of black eyes that were as deep as the sea flashed with a hint of heartache.

"Yao'er, how is everything?" She did not know why, but every time she looked at those eyes, Duan Mu Yan would think of Xiao Jin Feng. Although she knew that the person before her was definitely not Xiao Jin Feng, she could not help but dodge it.

"The emperor had already promised his two wives to interrogate Wu Bingcheng and let Big Brother Yan go, but Duan Xingyi suddenly appeared and insisted that Big Brother Yan was a spy from the Southern Yue, so the emperor gave this matter to Duan Xingyi. Wangfei, what do we do now?" "Big brother Yan must have suffered a lot by now. If we don't save him now, I'm afraid that Zi Min …" At this moment, she no longer cared about hiding his feelings for Yan Wuhen, and wholeheartedly wanted to save Yan Wuhen.

"This won't do, we'll just take the prison!" Yan Wuhen was her benefactor, if not for Yan Wuhen, she would not have achieved what he had achieved today.

"Absolutely not. If we're going to break out of the prison, then we'll be in the hands of Duan Xingyi. I believe he's been waiting for us in the heavenly prison for a long time!" Xiao Jingfeng calmly analyzed.

"Then what should we do? "Don't tell me that we have to watch Big Brother Yan's body being decapitated?" Zi Min spoke angrily as she glared at Xiao Jin Feng.

"Maybe someone can help us!" Xiao Jingfeng's voice had never changed, and no one could hear his sorrowful emotions at this time.

"Who?" Yao'er suspiciously looked at Xiao Jingfeng.

"Wu Bingcheng!" Before Xiao Lingfeng could say anything, Duan Mu Yan had already revealed her name. When the crowd heard her words, they were first shocked before they turned to look at Duan Mu Yan in puzzlement.

"Princess, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, no? According to what Madam Qi said, Duan Xingyi will definitely give Wu Bingcheng face. Right now, he can't even protect himself, so why would he allow us to take him hostage? " Yao'er doubtfully asked.

"Duan Xingyi won't immediately kill Wu Bingcheng. He still needs to use Wu Bingcheng to testify against Wu Bingcheng at the last minute. But he won't let Wu Bingcheng be a force to be reckoned with, so he will definitely send him to prison." Duan Mu Yan said confidently.

"As long as Wu Bingcheng enters the Sky Prison, he will definitely think that Duan Xingyi is a murderer and will naturally resent him to the extreme. If we send someone to save him at this time and have him speak out about the Formless Prison as well as the mechanisms he paid special attention to, I believe he won't object." Xiao Jin Feng took over the conversation and analyzed the situation.

Duan Moyan looked at Xiao Lingfeng joyfully before nodding slightly. Although this matter sounded feasible, Zi Min still felt uneasy.

At this moment, Zheng Tingze had already returned to his residence from the palace.

"Master, you're back?" Duan Moyan spoke softly, only to see Zheng Tingze's solemn expression.

"Mu Yan, follow me in for a while." With a solemn expression, Duan Mu Yan's heart sank. She then assigned the mission to Xiao Jin Feng, Zi Min, and Yao'er before hurriedly following behind them. Watching Duan Ling Tian's departing figure, a trace of coldness that seeped into the depths of Xiao Jin Feng's heart.

Within the secret room, Zheng Ting Ze looked at Duan Mu Yan with a solemn expression.

"Master, what happened?" Duan Mu Yan looked suspiciously at Zheng Ting Ze; she had never seen her master's expression before.

"Mu Yan, Eunuch Li just announced that I am going to the Imperial Hall to treat His Majesty's illness … Things are not looking good. " Zheng Ting Ze sighed lightly. He knew that Duan Mu Yan and the Emperor's heart were tangled up, but he didn't want Duan Mu Yan to regret it. After all, they were related by blood.

"Royal Father, he … "What's wrong?" Her heart was shocked, but it quickly returned to normal. She had already given up on that man. Her so-called kinship with him had been cut off long ago when her brother had died. Presently, she only cared about when that person passed the throne down to Duan Xingyi. If Duan Xingyi succeeded, her plans would be more than a hundred times more difficult.

"Right now, the emperor's body is very weak, but strangely, since I can't find any problems with it, this kind of inexplicable weakness is very abnormal. Allow me to speculate boldly, perhaps …" Zheng Ting Ze wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Master suspects that someone poisoned Father?" A person's image suddenly appeared in her heart. Duan Xingyi? His royal father had already treated him so well. For him to become the crown prince, he actually forced his eldest son to death. Wasn't this kind of doting enough to make Duan Xingyi feel at ease? However, if it wasn't for Duan Xingyi, Duan Mu Yan wouldn't have been able to find another person.

"It's very possible!" Zheng Tingze nodded heavily with a worried expression on his face.

"Then... How much longer can royal father hold out? " Duan Muyan hesitated for a moment before finally asking, an indescribable feeling of bitterness bubbling in her heart.

You can rest assured that even if I wanted to, I would treat the emperor, but we must not spread this matter. The person who poisoned the emperor used an extremely slow poison, and according to my calculations, the emperor has been poisoned for a year, so you can see how deeply he has hidden himself. If he discovers that the emperor's poison has disappeared, then he will definitely take other measures to cure him, so I can only secretly detoxify the emperor. Zheng Tingze pondered for a moment before opening his mouth to analyze.

"Master is right. As for royal father's poison, I will do my best …" Without showing too much worry and worry, Duan Mu Yan indifferently nodded her head before leaving the secret chamber. Zheng Ting Ze couldn't help but sigh as he watched Duan Mu Yan's lonely back. He originally thought that she wouldn't let go of the Emperor, but now it seems that the Emperor had deeply hurt her.

Ever since Yan Wuhen was captured and sent to the Sky Prison, Wu Bingcheng still believed that he had run into a ghost, hence he used a method to drive evil spirits away from the mansion. He even invited a bunch of old monks to recite scriptures to comfort him.

Wu Bingcheng was sitting in the middle, receiving the baptism that the Daoist Priest had mentioned. At this moment, the Wu Mansion's door was suddenly kicked open by someone, and over a hundred soldiers rushed in like a torrent. Finally, it was Duan Xingyi who entered.

The instant he saw the scene in front of him, Duan Xingyi's sword-like brows tightly knitted together as an indescribable rage surged up from the bottom of his heart. What a good Wu Bingcheng, to actually dare act like this … If it wasn't for the two wives defining Yan Wuhen's identity as a Daoist, how would they dare to go directly to the Emperor? If people were to see the current situation in the Wu Residence, it would be hard for him to not waste his breath.

"Someone come!" Capture Wu Bingcheng! Those who do not wish to be convicted, scram for this crown prince! " Duan Xingyi spoke in a ruthless tone, causing all the monks and old Taoists to scatter in all directions. When Wu Bingcheng saw this, he couldn't help but be very surprised.

"Too... Your Highness, what is the reason for this? This humble official has just put on a French show... This... Where are you bringing this humble subject? " Wu Bingcheng was caught between the left and right soldiers, making him even more confused.

"You still dare to ask!? Bring the culprit to the Sky Prison for trial! " Duan Xingyi naturally couldn't say that it was because of his harassment of the two prefectures that he had been recruited into prison. With Wu Bingcheng's vicious personality, he would definitely reveal everything on the spot. Even killing Wu Bingcheng would be of no use.

"No …" No! Your Highness, please spare my life … This humble subject doesn't dare anymore! I don't dare to do it again! " Wu Bingcheng could only say that he committed the crime Duan Xingyi committed with a grand gesture, but he didn't know the real reason behind it.

Speechless, Duan Xingyi flung his sleeves and left, while Wu Bingcheng was brought out of the Wu Residence, full of grievances. In the dark, Xiao Jingfeng and Zi Min could see everything clearly.

"Are you sure you can save Wu Hen?" Her ice-cold voice had no trace of warmth. Zi Min coldly looked at Xiao Jin Feng, filled with hostility. If it wasn't for the fact that Duan Mu Yan was ordered not to act rashly, she would have long ago thrust her sword at Xiao Jin Feng.

"Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will definitely save Wu Hen." Yan Wuhen had been captured because of him. No matter what, he would definitely rescue him from the Sky Prison.

The setting sun gradually sank as the new moon rose in the east. While Duan Mu Yan was scheming how to save Yan Wu Hen, she also had to take care of Xiao Yu Xuan. Sometimes, when she was faced with Xiao Yu Xuan's hopeful and happy gaze, Duan Mu felt guilty.
