"Miss Meng Yan? Are you okay? " When Ye Li rushed over, he saw Duan Mu Yan slumped on the ground, both her hands clenched into fists. The fire in her eyes seemed to have engulfed everything. That ice-cold, stinging expression was something he had never seen before.

"I want to be alone for a moment. Go away!" Duan Mu Yan choked on his words as he coldly stated.

"But …" Ye Li was about to speak, but he held himself back when he saw the cold glint that Duan Mu Yan had shot out. He silently retreated from the greenhouse and stood guard at the entrance.

After an unknown period of time, just as Ye Li was worrying, Duan Mu Yan suddenly walked out from the flower room. Her empty eyes did not have a single trace of light, and her body walked out like a ghost, the tips of her hands bleeding. Ye Li did not dare speak, and silently followed behind Duan Mu Yan until he saw Duan Mu Yan return to his room.

After a few accidents, he was truly afraid. As long as he left the Han King Manor, he would constantly be thinking about Duan Mu Yan's safety, and he had originally thought that Duan Mu Yan should have rested a long time ago. He only needed to take a glance at her, but he never expected that the room would still be lit with candles.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Are you waiting for me? " Shen Hansheng's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Whenever he saw Duan Mu Yan, his mood would improve by at least half.

"Yeah, I was waiting for you. Is the banquet going smoothly tonight? " The corners of Duan Mu Yan's lips curled up into a smile, but it didn't reach the bottom of her heart. As Shen Han Sheng sat down, Duan Mu Yan personally poured him a cup of green tea from the teapot. Upon seeing Duan Mu Yan's broken fingertips, Shen Han Sheng was startled. He immediately snatched the teapot away and gripped Duan Mu Yan's jade-like fingers tightly.

"How can this be? "Who did it!?" Duan Mu Yan could tell that the anxiety in the eyes of the man before her couldn't be feigned, but why? Why did you have to kill my royal brother? My only family in the world! If you don't die, how will I face my royal brother's death? How could he live and have the face to do so?

"No one. I accidentally broke it myself. Han Sheng, Mu Yan wants to thank you for treating my mother's ashes with tea. If it weren't for you, my mother would still be a lonely soul with no one to rely on in this place. " Duan Moyan's voice was choked with sobs. Before Shen Hansheng could speak, he had already finished the cup of tea in one gulp.

Sensing that Duan Mu Yan's expression was abnormal, Shen Han Sheng didn't think too much about it. He simply said that she was a relative of his and casually picked up his teacup.

"It's just that I suddenly miss Imperial Brother. If it wasn't for me leaving the Sky Prison to save me, Imperial Brother would not have committed suicide out of guilt like Imperial Father said …" In order to make royal father believe that he was the one who killed Tian Churen, he actually ended his own life with the same kind of needle that he used to assassinate Tian Ren! " A cold light flashed through the dense fog in her eyes. The moment his lips touched the teacup, Shen Hansheng was startled. It was as if his heart had been bitten by a venomous snake. In an instant, he took a sip of the tea as if nothing had happened.

"The dead have already died. Jing Yang's death was something that we did not expect. It has already been so long. There is no point thinking about it. If you're in a bad mood, how about I take you for a walk tomorrow? " Thinking back to that moment, his heart surged with monstrous waves. Duan Mu Yan was able to overturn the entire Mo Dynasty for the sake of her. If she knew that Duan Jingyang had died in his hands, he could not imagine what kind of shocking action Duan Mu Yan would make.

"Han Sheng, do you believe that it was Imperial Brother who killed Tian Juren?" Duan Mu Yan tightly gripped her teacup as her long, feather-like eyes stared straight at the man in front of her. In that dark and profound gaze, Duan Mu Yan saw nervousness and hesitation.

Her heart seemed to be covered in thousands of thin threads, and every single thread was stained with her blood. Gently pushing a single thread would cause her to feel an excruciating pain that seeped into her bones.

"I... If you don't believe me, then I won't! " Since he wanted to conceal it, he had to do so to the very end.

"If you don't believe me, then I beg you to help me find the real culprit who killed my royal brother. Is that okay?" Traces of grief flashed in her eyes, yet her gaze never left Shen Hansheng's handsome face. The more guilty he felt, the more pain he felt in her heart.

"Good!" I promise you! It's getting late, so you should rest first. Tomorrow, I will accompany you everywhere. " Shen Han Sheng hurriedly lifted his teacup. Before Duan Mu Yan could say anything, he had already turned around and walked towards the door.

"After I find the culprit, I will cut him into a thousand pieces to console my royal brother's spirit in heaven." The moment he neared the door, Duan Moyan's icy voice drifted over. Shen Hansheng was stunned, his heart felt like it was being crushed by a gigantic boulder, causing him to almost choke on himself.

"Rest early …" For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt that Duan Mu Yan's gaze seemed to have a penetrating power, and in front of her, he felt like he was running naked, without any secrets. He was afraid of this feeling, and was even more afraid that one day, Duan Mu Yan would find out the truth.

Seeing how the door to Shen Hansheng's room, which she didn't even have the time to close, creaked in the wind, Duan Muyan sucked in a deep breath, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes.

"Shen Hansheng, even if it's all because of you in this life, Mu Yan will definitely avenge my royal brother. If you let my royal brother die with hatred in his heart, Mu Yan will make you live a life worse than death." The cold voice was filled with hatred. It was like the sound of rhododendrons crying out blood and the mournful cries of the apocalypse. The mysterious and charming Shen Hansheng, the gentle Shen Hansheng, and the Shen Hansheng that had not abandoned him even in death. At this moment, everything shattered into countless pieces, turning into ashes and vanishing from Duan Mu Yan's heart. She could only remember the unparalleled Shen Hansheng …

The moment the door opened, Leng Bingxin and Ye Li stopped quarreling with each other and turned to look at the person before them. Shen Hansheng's sword-like eyebrows were furrowed tightly, his face was pale as snow, and his handsome face was like ice. Even though Ye Chonglou knew that the situation wasn't good, he still couldn't find out what Leng Bing Xin had done to Duan Mu Yan. It seemed that his master had come to denounce him for his crimes, and his heart suddenly tightened. Even if he wanted to give up, he still couldn't bear to see her die in his master's hands.

"Master …" Ye Li was the first to speak, but he was stopped by Shen Hansheng.

"Bing-Er, where is your needle?" Leng Bing Xin was already prepared to die. She already knew the result the moment Shen Han Sheng stepped in, but she did not regret it.

"Bing-Er knows what she is doing …" Just as Leng Bing Xin was about to die, she saw Shen Han Sheng walking quickly towards her.

"Take out all the Mang Bing!" "Faster!" Shen Hansheng had never been so anxious before. All along the way, his mind was filled with Duan Muyan's resentful gaze. What did she know? Impossible! Other than herself, Ye Li and Leng Bingxin, there was not a fourth person who knew of this. As long as the needle was destroyed, this matter could be concealed forever!

"Master, Bing-Er's needles were all used up when she was dealing with Gui Luosha. Now, Bing-Er doesn't have a single needle in her hand." Leng Bing Xin looked at Shen Han Sheng in suspicion. When she saw his expression soften, she couldn't help but question in her heart: Did Duan Mu Yan not blame her master? No! Based on the brotherly and sisterly relationship between Duan Mu Yan and Duan Jingyang, she would not have allowed Duan Jingyang to die in vain. However, at this moment, Shen Hansheng's performance was beyond Leng Bingxin's expectations.

"Master, what happened?" On the side, Ye Li was also somewhat confused.

"It's fine. Remember, from now on, you are not allowed to mention Duan Jingyang's death under any circumstances. Do you understand?" Shen Hansheng spoke coldly, his expression grave.

"This subordinate understands!" When Ye Li lowered his eyes to accept the order, Shen Hansheng had already left the room. When Shen Hansheng's figure was far away, Ye Li fiercely shut the door.

"You actually told Duan Jingyang's death to Duan Mu Yan!" Ye Li looked at Leng Bingxin in disbelief, despair filling her heart.

"If I really told this matter to Duan Mu Yan, Master would not have such an expression!" Leng Bingxin raised an eyebrow in disapproval. At this moment, she suddenly didn't know what Duan Moyan was up to. Was she doubting herself? Or … Ye Li did not say anything. Although he did not believe Leng Bingxin, her words were not without reason.

The next morning, before the sky brightened, there was a hurried knock on the door breaking the peace of the morning. When the housekeeper opened the door, he saw Xia Hou Yuying standing outside.

"Princess Yu Ying? You... Are you looking for the prince? But the prince, he … " Without waiting for the butler to finish speaking, Xia Hou Yu Ying suddenly pushed the butler away and headed straight for Shen Hansheng's room. Fortunately, when Xia Hou Yuying barged in, Shen Hansheng was already dressed neatly. The moment he saw Xia Hou Yuying, Shen Hansheng's sword-like eyebrows were raised, his thin lips parted in displeasure.

"If Ben Wang remembers correctly, this place should be where I sleep. No matter how urgent Princess Yu Ying's matter is, she should wait in the main hall. After people report, Ben Wang will naturally welcome her. It doesn't seem appropriate to barge in like this." Shen Hansheng spoke lazily as her slender fingers adjusted the belt on her waist. Ever since Xia Hou Yuying appeared, she had never once glanced at her.

"Hanshi!" Yu Yinglai only wanted to tell you that in this world, there is no one who loves you more than me! For you, I can give up everything and break off all relations with royal father. As long as you are willing to keep me by your side, I don't mind doing anything, even if it's just a personal maid! " Even if Xia Hou Bo had spoken with all his heart, she still could not give up on Shen Hansheng's possession and reliance. Even if she had lost her dignity, she would fight for the chance to stay by Shen Hansheng's side. Only by staying, would she have a chance of survival.

"This king can't afford such a noble maid, so it's better if princess doesn't mess around. If Duke Rong finds out that you're here, he might go to royal father to sue me for abducting his precious daughter. This king can't afford this, if princess is fine, please let princess go." There wasn't the slightest trace of nostalgia on his handsome face, and his clear voice didn't carry a trace of gentleness. Shen Hansheng continued to play with the jade pendant by his waist, and the curve of his lips hid his disdain.

"Hanshi!" I'm serious! "Don't chase me away so quickly. I only need a day to prove to you that I am more suitable for you than anyone else!" Tears welled up in her eyes as Xia Hou Yuying eagerly opened her mouth to speak and walked in.
