Seeing the mess on the ground, Xia Hou Bo couldn't help but sigh.

"Ying'er, how much longer do you have to go before you're willing to let it go?" Xia Hou Bo patiently opened his mouth, but was met with Xia Hou Yuying's ruthless roar.

"Royal Father ruined Yu Ying's life, and now he has to blame his daughter! Why did the Emperor withdraw his order?! What had his father, the emperor, told him this morning? Now, Yu Ying had become the laughingstock of the entire Imperial City! How are you going to meet your daughter in the future? " Xia Hou Yu's tears fell like rain as she flung her sleeves, throwing all the tea set on the table onto the ground.

"Why are you so stupid! If Royal Father doesn't tell the Emperor to retract his order, that would ruin your happiness! You were there last night! That Shen Hansheng doesn't even have your existence in his heart! If he could love you even a little, Father would not beat a mandarin duck! " Xia Hou Bo helplessly stroked his forehead. How could he give birth to such a stubborn daughter?

"It doesn't matter if he has a daughter or not! The most important thing is that your daughter's heart is full of him. Now that you've asked the Emperor to cancel his marriage, your daughter won't even have the chance to turn the tables! His daughter did not believe that he would lose to that Meng Yan! It was all because of you, my royal father, breaking my daughter's last hope! What are you doing here now, just asking your daughter to perish by herself! "You go!" The crying Xia Hou Yu Ying did not listen to Xia Hou Bo's persuasion at all.

"Right now, that woman is already in Shen Hansheng's heart. How can you remove her from Shen Hansheng's heart? Just like yesterday, dishonoring people's reputation? Or was it to gouge out Shen Hansheng's heart and forcibly erase the imprint? Ying'er, you should wake up! If a man didn't love you, even if you put a knife to his neck, he wouldn't love you! In short, it's impossible for you to marry Shen Hansheng in this lifetime, even Royal Father forbid it! "You can meditate here until you figure it out." Xia Hou Bo ruthlessly sighed, then turned around and left. Following him was an exquisite carving of a glass bottle.

Speechless, Xia Hou Bo couldn't help but shake his head as a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Shen Hansheng to break all ties with him at this critical moment. Did he really love that Meng Yan, or did he have a plan already? In Xia Hou Bo's eyes, Shen Hansheng messing with the Xia Hou manor was just a facade. He had to uncover the conspiracy behind the plot to make a move, otherwise, he might fall into another trap. However, this time, Xia Hou Bo was truly overthinking things.

At this moment, Duan Muyan felt the back of her neck being ruthlessly smacked by someone. Thinking back to the events from last night, she clearly remembered that she was being played around by the two men in black, and she looked around her surroundings. She was still in the room at the Residence of Duke Han, was it a dream?

Right at the moment when Duan Mu Yan was feeling puzzled, a light knock sounded on the door.

"Come in …" After which, she got off the bed. When she walked to the side of the table, the knocking sounds on the door suddenly stopped, and no one entered. Duan Mu Yan frowned. He then picked up the teacup from the table. After all, he was afraid of being taken advantage of. Even though Duan Mu Yan knew that the cup in his hand was useless, it was still better than nothing.

"Who is it?" Duan Mu Yan held her teacup and walked step by step towards the door. When she carefully pushed open the door, there was no one in front of her. There was only a square piece of paper folded on the floor. Duan Mu Yan surveyed her surroundings. After confirming that no one was ambushing her, she picked up the slip of paper and closed the door tightly.

At the side of the table, Duan Mu Yan placed down her teacup and casually opened the note. Borrowing the light from the candles, her eyes glinted.

'If I know of the true cause of death of the First Prince Duan Jingyang, I'll see you tomorrow night in the backyard.

Her hands trembled even more violently, causing Duan Muyan's countenance to turn deathly pale. It was as though a huge rock had been pressed down on her heart, causing her to be unable to breathe. Was this the real cause of death? Wasn't royal brother forced to death by royal father for his own sake? If not, then he was the one who killed him! Who! Who would be so cruel as to kill her royal brother? In this world, the two people she cared about the most were mufei and wangfei. For mufei, she could overturn the Great Mo Empire, and now that her royal brother had been killed by others, she would definitely avenge him.

The door creaked open, and Duan Muyan subconsciously put away the slip of paper. She lifted her sleeve to wipe away the sparkling light that shone at the corners of her eyes. When she lifted her gaze, her handsome face had already appeared before her.

"If I knew you would wake up, I wouldn't have left. I just brought some soup from the kitchen to calm myself down." The gentleness that burst out of her eyes like moonlight would cause anyone to be enchanted. It was just that when Duan Moyan was thinking about Duan Jingyang's death, she had completely forgotten about the true love that had appeared in Shen Hansheng's heart.

"Many thanks …" Her mind was filled with the contents of the note. Since it was not displayed in person, it must be because she did not want others to know about it, but this was the Southern Yue, how could anyone know her identity? Do you know more about my brother's death?] Without a doubt, this was the greatest puzzlement of her life.

"Don't you want to ask me what happened yesterday?" Noticing the bizarre expression on Duan Mu Yan's face, Shen Han asked doubtfully.

"Ugh …" Oh right, what happened yesterday? I clearly remember that I was taken captive, and... Why would he appear here? Didn't I give you trouble again? " Shen Hansheng's words interrupted Duan Mu Yan's thoughts. No matter what, she would know the truth tomorrow night. Even if this note was a trap, she would definitely keep his appointment on time.

"Xia Hou's daughter is anxious to marry you, so they thought that after getting rid of you, they would let me obediently marry Xia Hou Yuying and enter the house. However, they did not know that if they dared to touch you even the slightest bit, even if they defied the will of the heavens, I would stomp over them and make them pay with their blood." Shen Hansheng had not wanted to tell Duan Mu Yan the truth, but Shangguan Wu Ye's words had changed his mind. Love, he should let her know, he did not want Duan Mu Yan to leave with Xiao Yuxuan before he remembered that there were so many things he had yet to say.

Her heart trembled slightly as the light in her eyes flickered. She looked worriedly at Shen Hansheng.

"So you're saying that you offended the Xia Hou clan in order to get to the bottom of this?" There was no doubt that he had made everything clear by sitting here safely.

"So what? Even if I have to offend this world for you, I can afford to offend it!" Within those eyes, she could clearly see his own existence. Through those eyes, Duan Mu Yan knew that there was an irreplaceable position in this man's heart, but it was too early for him. By the time he felt this feeling, he had already fallen in love with his. Thinking back to the forest, Shen Hansheng risked his life to protect himself. That kind of determination to not abandon him even when he was at death's door, how could anyone not be moved by that.

"I am not worthy of you to pay such a price …" At least for now, she had yet to fall in love with Shen Hansheng. In the face of all of his love, she only felt a sense of heaviness, even a burden.

"I am the only one who knows whether it is worth it or not. For you, I will never give up!" Shen Han held onto Duan Moyan's jade-like fingers affectionately, as if he was holding a rare treasure. The light in his eyes was so passionate that Duan Moyan was unable to look straight at him.

"This soup is a little cold …" Seeing the redness on Duan Muyan's face, Shen Hansheng felt elated. The curve of her lips was so demonic that it contained a hint of ridicule. He had never expected that they would be so incompatible after today.

"Tomorrow night, I will go to the Imperial Palace for a banquet. Will you come with me?" Shen Hansheng softly said as he subconsciously moved closer to Duan Mu Yan. Feeling Shen Hansheng's body getting closer and closer to his, Duan Mu Yan subconsciously shifted her position before raising her gaze.

"You still won't know. You should know my identity. It would be bad if you were to be recognized. I'll wait for you in the mansion." At this moment, a nameless fire was slowly burning in the depths of her heart. If she were to find out who had killed her royal brother, she would definitely take his head as a sacrifice to her royal brother's soul in heaven.

"Alright, I'll have Ye Li send enough men to patrol the mansion. Oh right, this is for you!" As he spoke, he retrieved a dagger from his waist and handed it over to Duan Mu Yan.

"Why did you give me this?" Duan Mu Yan asked doubtfully.

"This dagger is highly toxic. If anyone dares to hurt you again, use it to protect yourself!" As Shen Hansheng spoke, he pulled up Duan Mu Yan's hand and held the dagger in her palm.

"Many thanks …" Ever since she entered the Southern Mountains, although she had experienced life and death situations, she knew that the man before her had suffered a lot just for her sake. And now, he had offended the King Rong of the Southern Kingdoms, so other than lightening the burden on his shoulders, what else could she do? Go? Not now, at least.

South of the Yue, Lixin Palace.

The pink drapes fluttered in the breeze, and the two bodies intertwined on the bed became even more distinct. On the bed, Liu Yu'er's long hair flowed down like a waterfall, drawing a graceful curve in the air, Liu Yu'er wrapped her arms around Shen Hanxin's neck, and Shen Han Xin did not even move as he enjoyed Liu Yu'er's warm welcome.

"Prince …" Feeling Shen Hanxin's intent, Liu Yu'er worked even harder, trying to arouse the desire of men. Even when she was drenched in sweat, Liu Yu'er was still unable to achieve her goals.

"Looks like this bed will forever belong to men …" Shen Hanxin's thin lips curled up, and his eyes darkened even more.

"Ah …" The sudden shock made Liu Yu-er scream out loud, and she pressed her hands against Shen Hanxin's neck.

What does the Empress think?" Shen Hanxin had never doubted that he was in bed, he liked to see the women in disarray, conquering women was like conquering a wild beast to Shen Hanxin, whether it was as docile as a rabbit or as fierce as a tiger, they would always give him a moment of satisfaction, and after conquering them, he would never care about them, so he only wanted Liu Yu-er because she had a beneficial value. Suddenly, the image of Shen Hanxin's elegant face appeared in his mind. She was the only one who gave him a feeling of helplessness.

"Prince …" Feeling Shen Hanxin's gentle movements, Liu Yu'er wanted to give him more stimulation, and in the next second, Shen Hanxin suddenly grabbed Liu Yu'er's undergarment and viciously covered her face. At the same time, Shen Hanxin also closed his eyes, and in her mind, he assumed that the girl under him was Duan Mu Yan, and his body's desire rose up sharply, that thirst almost made him unable to control himself.
