"Han Wang's words have confirmed that Meng Yan is right here in my palace. "I'll give you a chance. If you can find me in Hua Qing Palace, I'll give you an explanation. If not, what are your plans?" Xia Hou Yu's beautiful eyes turned cold as she looked solemnly at Shen Hansheng. She had barged into her chambers late into the night and asked her for the person she wanted. Even a fool would not believe that Shen Hansheng was heartless to Meng Yan.

"Han Sheng respects his mistress, that's why he chose to enter Huaxing Hall first. Otherwise, he would have already broken into the underworld garden. I believe he would have obtained something from this!" However, if Duan Mu Yan were to appear in the Han King's Manor one day, she would definitely hold a grudge against him. Now that Shen Han Sheng had paid his respects, he simply didn't want to lose the protection of the Xia Family. At the very least, he didn't want to become enemies with them.

Xia Hou Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard this. She did not expect Shen Hansheng to respond in such a manner and was momentarily at a loss as to what to say.

"Han Sheng has already informed the Empress of this matter. Farewell!" Shen Han Sheng cupped his hands in greeting. As he turned around, he was stopped by Xia Hou Yu.

"That's right, Meng Yan is indeed in the Secret Garden. However, I do not have any intentions of letting King Han take her away. "On the day of King Han's and Ying`er's wedding, I will personally bring Miss Meng Yan to congratulate you. I assure you, one day, I will protect Meng Yan and ensure that nothing will happen to her." Since Shen Hansheng's words were so transparent, there was no need for Xia Houyu to cover it up.

"This King's esteemed guest, there's no need for the Empress to worry!" Shen Hansheng had no intention to compromise.

"King Han is really taking Meng Yan away? "Don't you care about the consequences?" Xia Hou Yu's beautiful eyes turned cold as she quickly stood in front of Shen Hansheng.

"What exactly does the Empress mean by consequences?" Shen Hansheng indeed needed the help of the Xia Family, but that did not mean that he would become a puppet of the Xia Family. Not only he did not know how, it was the same for Shen Hanxin as well.

The sharp light in the eyes seemed to want to slow her down. At this moment, she felt a cold chill all over her body, perhaps sensing the impulse in her words, Xia Hou Yu slightly softened his tone.

I, King Han, have misunderstood. I was only thinking for Ying`er, although the rumors were true and false, if Meng Yan were to appear in the Residence of Han, they would definitely spread the rumour even further. It would be useless even if Ying`er were to speak with you about it, Prince should know that my brother has always loved Ying`er, and if he knew that Ying`er had been wronged, he would not be as reasonable as I am. Xia Hou Yu reasoned.

"This King appreciates Hua Fei's good intentions!" However, since This King has come, This King will definitely not return empty-handed! As for the consequences, This King will bear them all! " No matter how eloquent Xia Hou Yu was, he was unable to change Shen Hansheng's decision. On the day that Duan Mu Yan left, it was as if Shen Han Sheng had lost his soul. It was also because these past few days that he understood clearly what was the meaning of this world to him if he did not have Duan Mu Yan.

Watching Shen Hansheng leaving Huaxing Hall in big strides, Xia Houyu was so angry that he immediately called for Feng'er to stop him.

"Does the Empress think that a mere servant can stop this king? Furthermore, if this matter gets out of hand and the Royal Father comes over, Han Sheng will not be the only one to be punished! " Shen Hansheng coldly spoke as he left the Hua Qing Palace.

"Empress?" At the side, Feng'er looked at Xia Hou Yu, only to see Xia Hou Yu standing there with a dejected look in her eyes. That's right, if Shen Ao knew that he had sent Meng Yan to the Underworld Garden, he would definitely be angered.

"Whatever, getting rid of Meng Yan won't take too long. Let him go first, I want to let him know that even if she is in the Han King's Manor, the Xia Hou clan will not be able to get rid of him for long!" She suddenly felt some regret. If she knew that Shen Hansheng was deeply in love with Meng Yan, she would have cut off their roots that day. But now, she had left behind a disaster.

In a secluded garden, the sound of the zither was melodious like the sounds of nature. Whenever she heard this music, Duan Mu Yan would always recall the worry in her heart. How is he?

"It's a very lonely tune, isn't it?" Her clear and melodious voice was like the sound of a zither. Duan Mu Yan was interrupted by Shen Han Ming's voice. She couldn't help but look at that exquisite and flawless face. What kind of beauty was that?

It's nice, too." How could she not know how sinister and dark the palace was? It was as if such a simple and elegant woman had trapped a bird that flew freely into a cage when she entered the palace, so what if it was a cage made of gold …

"Warm? "Heh, I originally thought so too, and every time I see her smile, I think that my decision was not wrong. No matter what, I have to give her a proper title, so what if I don't become the crown prince, at least she is still my, Shen Hanming's, wangfei, until the moment she dies. I finally understood that what she wanted was never any rank, and that in her eyes, it was nothing. Shen Hansheng lowered his eyes in vexation as his slender jade-like fingers tightened around the zither string. He had no intention of letting go even after the zither string broke his fingers.

Her heart suddenly hurt. Seeing how Shen Hanming was humiliating her, Duan Mu Yan truly wanted to ruthlessly knock him out and make him face reality.

"Release!" "If Madam Jade was still alive, she would never have let you hurt yourself like that!" Blood dripped down. Duan Mu Yan abruptly stood up, intending to stop Shen Han Ming's self-mutilation. However, in the next instant, her eyes that were as deep as the sea flickered with a strange light as she faced Duan Mu Yan.

"You don't like it? "This is Han Ming's favorite tune, but he doesn't know it. Actually, I don't like it, but why is it that ever since we entered the palace, our hearts have never been together? If I could have chosen, I would have been willing if he wasn't the crown prince …" Looking at the grief in Shen Hanming's eyes, Duan Moyan stood on the spot. She was unable to adapt to the speed at which Shen Hanming's role changed. One second ago, she was still immersed in Shen Hanming's pain and self-blame.

Looking at Shen Hanming, who was as beautiful as a direct descendant, Duan Mu Yan stepped forward and gripped Shen Hanming's shoulders tightly.

Shen Hanming! Wake up! No matter how much you despise her, he will never come back to life! If she sees you in the underworld so decadent, how can you make her endure? What he wants is for you to live well, not to be like this, neither human nor ghost! Look at yourself, you don't look like a prince at all. Do you really intend to live your entire life like this? If you're still a man, pull yourself together! " Duan Mu Yan viciously shook Shen Han Ming, attempting to wake him from his daze.

Seemingly at the same time, Shen Hanming's gaze turned cold. Just as Duan Mu Yan was in a daze, Shen Han was already holding her in his arms, and with a leap, he heard two "pa pa" sounds. On the side of the table, there were two shiny sharp blades.

"Who is it?" Behind him, Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but be stunned. She originally thought that when she spoke of Shen Han Ming's sore spot, it would arouse his anger, but she didn't expect that there would actually be a sneak attack on her.

"Your subordinate pays his respects to the second prince. This woman is an ominous person, and your subordinate has come to take her life!" I hope that the Second Prince can help with this matter! " When a black figure appeared in front of the two of them, Duan Mu Yan frowned.

"You are Leng Bing Xin?" Back in the Spring Festival, she had interacted with Leng Bingxin several times, so she was very familiar with her voice.

"Who I am is not important, what is important is that you should not appear here. Today, I have no choice but to take your life, but if in the future, you become an evil ghost, then please find me, Leng Bingxin, and have no ties with others." Leng Bing asked with a cold voice, as he raised the concealed weapon in his hand once again. Unfortunately, when the hidden weapons attempted to touch Duan Mu Yan's body, they were all sent flying by Shen Hanming's internal force.

"Second Prince, you!" Leng Bingxin looked at Shen Hanming with a puzzled expression. It was rumored that the Second Prince was unable to recognize anyone in the outside world, but from the looks of it now, he could not be trusted.

"She is my guest. This king wants to see who dares to be impudent in this garden!" Shen Hanming's gaze turned sharp as he stood in front of Duan Mu Yan.

"If that's the case, I can only try my best!" No matter what, Duan Mu Yan will definitely die! " As Leng Bing Xin spoke, she waved her sleeve, releasing countless fine needles that resembled cow hair. When Shen Han Ming was dodging the hidden weapon, she drew her sword from her back and thrusted it towards Duan Mu Yan.

"Did Shen Hansheng send you here?" Seeing the hatred in Leng Bingxin's eyes, Duan Mu Yan asked suspiciously. At almost the same time, a purple figure had appeared in front of Leng Bing Xin, staring coldly at the girl in front of her.

"Master... "Master?" Leng Bingxin never expected that Shen Hansheng would appear here. At this moment, the tip of his sword was thrusting towards the man he loved deeply.

"I will deal with you later!" Shen Hansheng's sword-like eyebrows creased, before turning to look at his second royal brother.

"Has royal brother always been well? "I am Han Sheng." He reminisced day and night, finally seeing her again. He thought that when they met again, he would interrogate Duan Mu Yan about leaving without even saying a word, but now, he realised that he couldn't even bear to say a single word.

"No matter who you are, you are not allowed to hurt Madam Jade's guests!" Shen Hanming was clad in a light pink colored dress, moving without the wind. One could clearly see his internal force.

"Yan Er …" Shen Hansheng had no intention to fight with Shen Hanming. Regardless of the case, the person before him was still a muddle-headed person, not to mention, his own royal brother.

The moment she saw Shen Hansheng, she felt her heart ache. An indescribable bitterness lingered in her chest. Such a magnificent Shen Hansheng, whom she hadn't seen for only half a month, had already become so haggard. Was it because of her?

"Thanks for taking care of Yan'er for the past few days. However, this isn't the place where Yan'er has been staying for a long time. Farewell!" Under Shen Hansheng's imploring gaze, Duan Mu Yan walked over to Shen Hanming and bowed. When she raised her head, she saw the reluctance in Shen Hanming's eyes. At this moment, she was already unable to tell if those eyes belonged to Shen Hanming or Yu Niang! Maybe he or she was so lonely!

"Are we really going? Would Jade Mother miss you? " Shen Hanming urged him to stay.
