"Other than cooperating, does she have any other choice? This King will be leaving first!" Shen Hanxin spoke with certainty before turning to leave. Almost two hours later, Xia Hou Yuying came out with a miserable appearance.

"Your subordinate Wind Blade greets the princess. It's third prince …" Before Wind Blade could finish his sentence, there was a whoosh sound as a bloody wound appeared on the Wind Blade's cold face.

"Scram!" Xia Hou Yuying almost roared, her fierce gaze seemed as if it could cut through the wind. Unlike Shen Hanxin, Xia Hou Yuying was not his opponent, and he was not even qualified to fight back.

"Subordinate has been ordered to escort the princess back to her residence. Princess, don't worry. Your subordinate has already taught the bandits that bullied her on the streets. They will not appear in the Imperial City in the future." There was no trace of affection in her deep voice as she replied to Shen Hanxin's orders.

"On the street? Bandits! What a loyal dog slave! " Xia Hou Yuying raised her whip again, but the wind blade suddenly flashed, and the long whip missed. After a few rounds, Xia Hou Yuying was already out of breath, but the wind blade still stood there respectfully.

No one knew how much pain his heart hurt. Seeing the woman he had a crush on being ruined by his master, he could only wait outside the door like a dog. Xia Hou Yu was right, he really was a dog slave …

The news of Duan Muyan's disappearance quickly spread to the ears of King Wei, Zhu Xu, Dou Jing, and Xiao Yuxuan. At this moment, Xiao Yuxuan was returning to the imperial study from the Xiao manor.

"How is it?" Seeing that Xiao Yuxuan had returned, Zhu Xu hurried over and asked anxiously.

"Yuxuan has interrogated everyone in the manor. They all said that before nightfall, the emperor left the Xiao manor and did not return." His deep voice was filled with worry and self-blame. Only now did Duan Mu Yan finally inherit the position, and Duan Xingyi had also disappeared. He should have accompanied her at his side so that no accidents would have occurred.

"That's strange. This old man has already asked the guards before, and they all agree that the emperor has returned to the Xiao manor. Could something have happened midway?" Could it be Duan Xingyi? " Dou Jing's sword-like eyebrows creased tightly. A glint of light flashed through his eagle-like pupils. When the crowd heard his voice, their hearts immediately sank. If this was true, then they had truly been careless.

"Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize the human heart. The Emperor has just ascended the throne, and if this sort of news were to spread, it will very likely cause chaos within the court. So, this matter must be kept a secret!" First, we have to ensure order in the imperial court. As for the Emperor being unable to ascend to the throne, there are many reasons why he can't do so, Ping Wang, the investigation of the Emperor's whereabouts will be left to you to take care of. We will do our best to cooperate, no matter what, we have to protect the Great Mo River Mountain for the Emperor! " The sonorous voice arranged everything in an orderly manner, and the suggestion of the Duke of Wei was approved by the crowd. However, the safety of Duan Moyan seemed to have become the top priority in their hearts.

As he thought back to the hardships and hardships that Duan Mu Yan had gone through, his heart felt as though it was being bitten by a thousand poisonous snakes. Heaven was so unfair, to let such a kind-hearted woman endure all the pain and suffering in the world, and now that her suffering had finally come to an end, she suddenly disappeared. Xiao Yu Xuan swore that even if he risked his life, he would definitely find Duan Mu Yan.

"What are you thinking about?" A gentle voice came from behind her. While Xiao Yuxuan was panicking, Duan Zitong had already arrived in front of her.

"Ugh …" "Nothing, why aren't you resting in your room?" Xiao Yuxuan forcefully suppressed the melancholy in his heart and opened his mouth to speak with concern. However, the melancholy between his brows was exposed in Duan Zitong's eyes.

"It's not like I'm sick, what's there to rest about? Is it a matter for the imperial government? Or … Did the Emperor give you a mission that's difficult to complete? " After an entire night of settling down, Duan Zitong had already accepted the truth. Recalling everything that she had done to Duan Mu Yan, even if she wanted her life now, it would be normal for her to do so.

"No, you're overthinking it …" Xiao Yuxuan forced out a smile before getting up to help Duan Zitong back into the room. However, the moment her fingers made contact with him, Duan Zitong pulled on her hand.

"Yuxuan, tell me, did Duan Mu Yan make things difficult for you?" If you are, just do as she says, and don't worry about me! " As she watched Xiao Yuxuan's troubled expression, Duan Zitong felt an indescribable pain in her heart. As the months went by, how was she supposed to conceal her emptiness? If Xiao Yuxuan knew the truth, how was he supposed to deal with it?

"Ke Tong, why do you think this way? Mu …" "The Emperor has never thought of doing anything to you, because she believes that what Duan Xingyi did has nothing to do with you, and that no one in the court wants to target you. Whether it's before, now, or in the future, you'll forever be the Seventh Princess of the Badlands. No one can change that!" Feeling the unease in Duan Zitong's eyes, Xiao Yuxuan consoled him.

"Really?" Duan Zitong was skeptical, but she was still nervous.

"Why would I lie to you? It's just that … "Yu Xuan has a request!" Xiao Yuxuan said with a stern expression, and his eyes shone with a resplendent brilliance as he looked at Duan Zitong.

"What is it?" Duan Zitong asked suspiciously.

"If Duan Xingyi comes to find you, please tell me. I know that such a request is a bit too much for you. However, Duan Xingyi is currently an extremely dangerous person, so I …" Xiao Yuxuan couldn't bear to beg. No matter what kind of felony Duan Xingyi committed, in Duan Zitong's eyes, he was still his own little brother.

You don't need to explain, if he comes to find me, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will definitely make him stay, I also want to know, why does he hurt royal father so badly? Now that royal father is in bed, I don't dare to visit him, for fear that if royal father sees me, he will think of that unfilial son. The knot in his heart could not be untied no matter how much he tried. His father was so good to Xingyi, he even gave him the mountains. Why did he do such a crazy thing?

"Thank you!" Xiao Yuxuan's clear eyes flashed with gratitude as he nodded slightly. It was rare for Duan Zitong to be so righteous.

At dawn, like a sharp sword, the silent night sky was split open. Sunlight broke through the forest, and the boundless warmth immediately scattered down. A carriage approached the forest from a distance.

Giddy …" The man wore a purple robe, and his handsome appearance was like a masterpiece that the heavens were most proud of. He had a jade-like face, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge, and his thin lips were pursed into a perfect arc. At this moment, the man was raising the whip in his hand, constantly waving it around the body of the steed in front of him.

If it weren't for the fact that the entire Badlands Territory wanted him, why would he bring the woman in the car along such a rugged mountain road? The route he had previously made with Leng Bing Xin was now meaningless. Even so, the corner of the man's lips curled up into a knowing smile. That smile went straight to the bottom of his heart. Even if it was a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, as long as he had a beloved woman to accompany him, he would still be happy.

The girl was as beautiful as a jade, and as elegant as the autumn chrysanthemum. Her entire body exuded a holy aura, making people not dare to defile her words. Perhaps it was because the wheels of the carriage had landed on a rock, but the carriage suddenly jolted and the girl's eyelashes trembled. When she opened her eyes, the woman was stunned for a long time. If she remembered correctly, she should be at the Spring Festival. Where was this place?

With these questions in mind, the woman slowly moved her body. Only then did she realize that her hands were tied behind her back and that she was inside the carriage. The woman was extremely astonished. Her long, shapely eyebrows knitted together as she tried her best to recall what had happened. After a short moment, the woman had finally woken up, and she struggled to rush to the carriage.

"Duan Xingyi! Where are you bringing me? " Duan Mu Yan's beautiful eyes widened as she glared furiously at the man driving the carriage.

"Shh …" After hearing Duan Mu Yan's voice, the man's hands began to struggle as he pulled on the carriage. When he looked back, he was facing Duan Mu Yan's fiery eyes. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, as if he wanted to cut the man in front of him in half.

"Firstly, I am not called Duan Xingyi, but Shen Hansheng. Secondly, you should not call yourself Zhen. From the moment you left the Imperial City, you no longer have any relationship with Da Mo. As for that mask, This King does not have the time to take care of it after travelling for several days, so I might as well throw it away. Furthermore, that mask is not something that can match the devastatingly beautiful beauty that comes with that face of yours. " There was no trace of coldness in his gentle voice as Shen Hansheng spoke in a light tone, completely ignoring the frantic expression on Duan Mu Yan's face.

"Shen Hansheng? You... You're not Duan Xingyi? " The sudden shock caused Duan Mu Yan to be unable to speak. If the man before her wasn't from the Great Mo Clan, then who could he be?

"It doesn't matter who it is. The important thing is that This King is sincere to you. Regarding this, you should be moved, and according to your personality, the empress might not be happy. Since he had already left the Mo Imperial City, there was no longer any need for Shen Han Sheng to continue pretending. At this moment, he didn't wish for Duan Mu Yan to accept his identity, as long as she didn't reject being together with him.

"I am confused, the entire Great Mo River Mountain is yours, why are you still shaking the Great Mo Nation's foundation, and even poisoning my royal father, so you are not Duan Xingyi, not the son of the Great Mo! Prince? Which country are you from! What kind of plot is behind your face? " Shen Hansheng's words were like a thunderbolt that struck Duan Muyan's ears. She never expected that Duan Xingyi was lying!

"Do you think This King is disguising? Heh, if that's the case, how could This King be hiding in the Great Mo for so long without anyone noticing! This face couldn't be more real! As for which country Your Highness is from, you'll know very soon. " From the moment he took Duan Mu Yan away, he swore that no matter how much Duan Mu Yan resisted, he would use his own heart to slowly melt her away. Sooner or later, he would make Duan Mu Yan forget everything about Mo Yu, and he would make her completely and wholeheartedly fall in love with him, regardless of ten, twenty, or even a hundred years, he was willing to give up everything for this goal.
