"Who?" Under the moonlight, Xiao Yuxuan could clearly see a figure standing in front of his bed. Instinctively, Xiao Yuxuan jumped up and draped his robe over his shoulders. Then, he stood in front of the newcomer.

Xiao Lingfeng waited until Xiao Yuxuan had made some preparations before he punched Xiao Yuxuan in the heart. Xiao Yuxuan naturally retaliated, and the two fought back. After a dozen rounds, they were unable to determine the outcome of the battle. Xiao Jingfeng had used the Hidden Dragon Goes to Sea, but Xiao Yuxuan's mind had become blank. He saw that the newcomer's fist was pressing against his heart, but he remained unmoved.

"If this move did not come from Brother Wang, do you still have a chance to live?" Xiao Jin Feng slowly retracted his fist, his eyes staring at his younger brother.

"Brother Wang …" How is that possible?! " Xiao Yuxuan spoke in a flurry and staggered to the side of the table to light the candle. The room suddenly brightened as Xiao Yuxuan turned around, his clear eyes shining with an abnormal light. It wasn't the first time he had seen that mask, it had appeared on that day of marriage, but he had been in despair and hadn't noticed the pair of eyes beneath the mask. At this moment, that gaze was so familiar, his heart felt as if it had been viciously grabbed by someone.

"Brother Wang …" It's really you? "Yu Xuan isn't dreaming, right?" His hands trembled as he reached for the expressionless mask. The moment the mask was taken off, Xiao Yuxuan finally cried out in anguish, and even though his face was no longer the same as when he was reborn, Xiao Yuxuan was sure that the person in front of him was his older brother. Xiao Yuxuan no longer hesitated and fiercely pounced towards Xiao Jingfeng. Both of his arms were tightly wrapped around Xiao Jingfeng as tears welled up in his eyes. That indescribable feeling of joy and happiness filled his heart.

"Yuxuan, I'm sorry. Brother Wang made you worry …" Xiao Jingfeng lightly patted Xiao Yuxuan's shoulder. His heart was filled with thousands of words, but at this moment, he could only say this apology.

"Brother Wang!" If you're not dead, why are you hiding? Do you know how sad my royal father, me and Mu Yan are? " Even though Xiao Yuxuan had left Xiao Lingfeng's embrace, her hands still gripped his shoulders, afraid that in the blink of an eye, everything in front of her would turn into nothing more than a mirage.

"Sorry …" I thought that when I leave, you and Mu Yan will have a new beginning, but I never thought that things would turn out like this. So it turns out that I was wrong, and that I was destined to never have the chance to make up for it, Yuxuan, if it weren't for me, things wouldn't have developed to this point, you wouldn't have gotten addicted to drugs, Mu Yan wouldn't have to endure so much humiliation on her own, Royal Father wouldn't have left home either, it's all my fault, even if death isn't enough to make up for it … " A voice filled with endless regret came from Xiao Lingfeng's mouth. If he had known earlier, he would have left with Shi Rou that day.

"Brother Wang, why do you think so? Mu Yan is right, the reason why Mu Yan and I aren't together is because the fate of us from our past life wasn't enough, so we can't blame anyone else. It's good enough that you have returned now. If she knew, she would definitely be happy! Let's go, Yuxuan will accompany you back to the Xiao manor! " Xiao Yuxuan pulled on Xiao Lingfeng's arm with great joy, wanting to walk out. However, when she turned around, her hand was brushed off by Xiao Lingfeng.

"She already knows. I came from the Xiao manor …" Xiao Jin Feng's profound gaze dimmed a bit as he spoke indifferently. He then took out a stack of letters and passed it to Xiao Yu Xuan.

"What is this?" Xiao Yuxuan took the letter and asked suspiciously.

"These are the evidence of Duan Xingyi colluding with the local officials to embezzle the disaster relief money and food, as well as the testimonies personally recounted by those officials. Furthermore, they are all signed." Xiao Jin Feng knew that he didn't have much time left. When the sun rose, Duan Mu Yan would definitely send people to search for him everywhere, so before the time came, he had to tell Xiao Yu Xuan everything.

"Duan Xingyi colluded with the local officials to embezzle the disaster relief items? How is that possible? " Xiao Yu Xuan looked at the letter in his hand in disbelief. Xiao Yuxuan couldn't understand it at all. With Duan Xingyi's current status, there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

"There is nothing that is impossible in this world. There is one thing that I must tell you, and that is …" "Dou Jing and Qi Hu didn't die. Right now, they are in a very safe place with Xu Tianshu, Liu Li, and Prime Minister Zhu Xu." Xiao Jingfeng's words caused Xiao Yuxuan to freeze in shock. Ever since he had been forced to marry into the palace, his heart had died as well. How could he possibly care about the matters within the court?

"This... "This is unbelievable?" Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows were tightly knitted together. He had no idea what had happened in the meantime.

"What's even more inconceivable is that the one who saved them was Mu Yan …" Xiao Lingfeng lowered his voice. Even though his inner strength was sufficient to tell that no one was around to eavesdrop, this matter was extremely important. If Duan Xingyi were to find out, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Xiao Yuxuan's heart suddenly shook as if someone had fiercely grabbed onto his mingmen. He felt all the blood in his body freeze up as an image of Duan Mu Yan's gentle and elegant face appeared in his mind. How could it be her?

If it wasn't for me feigning not to regret paying my respects to Mu Yan's Honorable Pear Blossom, who would have believed that all of this was caused by Mu Yan, but who can be blamed as well? The world has forced her into a dangerous situation, and it was the death of Imperial Consort Li and the First Prince that had completely set her on the path of vengeance. Other than helping her, I don't know what else to do. Noticing Xiao Yuxuan's shock and astonishment, Xiao Lingfeng lightly spoke, his words filled with indulgence and approval towards Duan Mu Yan's actions.

"So it's her …" So it turns out that when she needed my help the most, I gave up on myself. Not only did I not help her even a little, I even brought her to take care of me for a month. Heh, Brother Wang … "Am I incompetent …?" Sparkling light glimmered in his clear eyes as Xiao Yuxuan slumped in his chair. Her hands tightly gripped the letter in her hands. The suffocating pain was like a surging tide, completely drowning his heart.

The letters in your hands are the most important evidence to topple Duan Xingyi. When Mu Yan takes action, you can take out these letters to testify against Duan Xingyi. Xiao Jin Feng changed the subject and instructed.

Looking at the letter in her hand, Xiao Yuxuan's gaze turned cold. She then carefully put the letter away in her bosom. In the next second, an indescribable nervousness lingered in her heart.

"Brother Wang, what are you saying?" You can do this too? " Xiao Yuxuan suspiciously looked at Xiao Lingfeng, his expression grave.

"As long as you don't regret, I can do it, but last night, Mu Yan discovered my identity, which I did not expect. Since King Mo Qi is dead, it is impossible for Xiao Jin Feng to exist in this world, so I told you about this matter and dragged you into this competition. Yu Xuan, don't disappoint me, don't disappoint Mu Yan …" Xiao Jingfeng's gaze was resolute, with no room for turning back.

"Brother Wang is leaving?" Mu Yan will definitely not agree to it! " Xiao Yu Xuan's expression suddenly became serious, and as he spoke, he blocked the room's window.

"That's right, Mu Yan wanted to announce to everyone that I'm still alive tomorrow. That's also why I chose to come and find you at this time. Yuxuan, if possible, I really wish that I could die in that sea of fire. Just pretend that I'm dead …" He returned to Duan Mu Yan's side after narrowly escaping death, yet, in such a short period of time, he was about to leave. As expected, life and death could not explain the bitterness in his heart. Xiao Jin Feng was about to leave after putting on the mask, but he was stopped by Xiao Yu Xuan.

"No way! Yu Xuan definitely won't let you go! Could it be that you are willing to part with Mu Yan? You are willing to let her face the danger ahead of her alone? " Xiao Yuxuan resolutely looked at the man in front of her. He could feel that there was too much reluctance and yearning hidden beneath that ice-cold and lukewarm mask.

"She has you, as well as a bunch of subordinates that are wholeheartedly working for her. There's Dou Jing and Zhu Xu, she doesn't have a lot of me by her side, just a lot less. My departure will not affect her in any way, but if I don't leave now, once my identity is exposed, it will definitely arouse Duan Xingyi's suspicions. Mu Yan cannot fail, she cannot afford to lose! " No one knew of the pain in his heart, but other than leaving, what else could he do for Duan Moyan …

"No matter if it's me or them, they are unable to take over your position in Mu Yan's heart. You can continue to do whatever you want without feeling regretful. You have to leave in order to solve the problem? Brother Wang, Yuxuan begs you, don't leave! If Royal Father knew you were still alive, he would definitely rush back! Don't you want to see royal father? " Qing Yue's voice carried a humble begging tone. His brotherly brother, Xiao Jingfeng, was now safe and sound. Xiao Yuxuan was extremely happy that they had parted. No matter what, he could not let go of this brotherly relationship.

"Yuxuan, how happy do you think royal father will be when he sees my face? To let me face all of them in this state is not an easy task for me. Rather than living in poverty under the sympathetic gazes of others, I might as well change places and hide my name. Brother Wang has never begged you for anything in his life. Although he did not regret it, there was a hint of regret in his hoarse voice.

Speechless, Xiao Yuxuan slowly clenched his fists as a look of struggle appeared in his eyes.

"Then... Will you be back? "

"Yes!" After all, there are people I'm closest to here. " Without saying much, Xiao Lingfeng fiercely nodded his head. After a gust of wind passed, that black figure had already disappeared into the boundless night sky. His presence was still left in the room, but he was already more than a thousand miles away.

After a night of silence, when Duan Mu Yan excitedly knocked on Xiao Jin Feng's door, the wooden door creaked open as she pushed it open. A wave of indescribable nervousness flowed into her heart as she suddenly rushed into the room with her eyebrows knitted tightly together.
