"Qing Que, rest well. The Emperor's decree will be passed on tomorrow. In the future, if you obtain the Royal Pet, don't forget who gave you this opportunity!" Liu Yu'er's cherry lips slightly curved upwards. While she was speaking, she glanced at Xia Hou Yu, who was on the verge of going berserk.

"Qing Que will definitely remember the Empress's kindness!" Qing Que said respectfully, a look of pity in her eyes. Since the Emperor had left, there was no need for her to be so pitiful, thinking back to the moment when she had opened her eyes, that cold handsome face of hers had appeared right in front of her, there were too many emotions in her eyes, there was shock, concern, and a charisma that could make a woman's blood boil just by looking at his back. At that time, she only glanced at his back from afar, but now that she 'honestly' meeting him, Qing Que's heart was racing.

When she left the Yi Qing Palace, Liu Yu'er wanted to return to the palace, but she was stopped by Feng'er.

"Insolent slave, how could a dog like you stop my way!" Liu Yu'er reprimanded him coldly.

"Liu Yu'er! Where is Meng Yan? " Behind Feng'er, Xia Hou Yu's face was cold and stinging, the glint in his eyes was like a blade. Now that things had turned around and Shen Hansheng had managed to escape unscathed after committing a heinous crime, how could she be willing to accept the crime of lying to him?

"Who?" Liu Yu'er raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Hou Yu without a shred of respect.

"You better tell me honestly. Otherwise, I will speak of your shameful deeds in front of the emperor! If I didn't say it earlier, I would have already left you with a way out! " His cold voice was low, and Xia Houyu's anger had reached its peak.

"Oh? "How could I not know what sort of shameful things I have done …" Liu Yu'er did not think much of it and continued to look at Xia Hou Yu with her almond-shaped eyes.

"There's no wall that doesn't leak out in this world. Do you really think that you hid the truth about yourself and Mu King extremely well? What I don't know is that even though I don't want to say it, it doesn't mean I don't know! "Now that you have told me the truth about Meng Yan, I can consider turning a blind eye to it. Otherwise …" Xia Hou Yu's cherry lips slightly curved upwards, and her stinging eyes became exceptionally cold under the moonlight.

"There is a saying, 'catch a pair of criminals and catch them'. If you have any evidence, you can just report it to the Emperor. If not, please make way for her. It's getting late. She just needs to stay here and admire the moon. I won't keep you company!" Liu Yu'er resentfully said, and then walked around Feng'er and left. If it wasn't for the moonlight, Xia Hou Yu would have found out that Liu Yu'er's face was as pale as paper.

She was currently in the arms of the Emperor, and was shuttling back and forth between the roofs of the entire capital. Under the moonlight, Duan Mu Yan raised her gaze to look at that old face, and she felt a hundred knots in her heart. Was he really the Emperor? Was he really an elegant lady? Too many questions lingered in her mind, but she suddenly felt a sense of loss before her eyes. She didn't open her mouth as she slowly closed her eyes, allowing the wind to blow past her ears as her heart gradually settled.

Within Mu Wang Manor, Shen Hanxin lifted Duan Mu Yan onto the bed, and just as she was about to close the door, a questioning voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Who the hell are you?" Shen Hanxin glanced back at Duan Moyan, who had already stood up. Her gaze was cold and emotionless, and there was no trace of fear on her face.

"Is my dragon robe not enough to prove my identity?" Shen Han disapprovingly placed his finger on his chin, looking at the girl before him with great interest. Her luxurious clothes couldn't conceal the coldness and holiness within her bones. Unlike all the other women he had fought before, there was a look of unblemished purity in her eyes.

"You're not the emperor, so I believe that face is also fake!" Her fingers unconsciously extended to her waist. Thankfully, the dagger was still there, and when Feng'er was changing her clothes, she had concealed the finely carved dagger in her bosom. From the looks of it, she had prepared for a rainy day.

"Oh? "How do you know?" The light in Shen Han Xin's eyes flickered as the curve of her lips became even more pronounced.

"It's easy to pretend to be old, but to rejuvenate is difficult. Your face is flawless, but your hands have exposed your identity. I believe you are not in your prime!" Duan Moyan analyzed calmly, her voice sounding like a beaded jade plate as each word was uttered. Shen Han Xin nodded her head in approval at Duan Mu Yan's words. Being able to remain calm and collected despite having no memory of the battle, she was indeed not an ordinary woman.

"How do you know I'm not the Emperor?" Shen Hanxin elegantly strolled over to the table, his deep gaze taking in the woman in front of him once again. His amnesia had caused him to feel different from before. The previous sentimental feeling had disappeared, replaced with a cold and intelligent look.

"If the current emperor didn't have a motherly complex, it wouldn't be difficult for Imperial Concubine Hua to guess his lifespan. Obviously, your age isn't dependent on it." Perhaps it was because the ignorant were fearless. At this moment, she was no longer as nervous as she was earlier, but instead appeared to be a bit more at ease and calm.

"Heh …" If Hua Fei heard your words, she would definitely vomit blood! " Shen Han Xin laughed lightly as she spoke, before pulling off her mask, revealing a slightly ruffian face. Her long and narrow eyes narrowed, curving like the moon, and the light that she emitted was as gentle as a pool of clear water, yet it looked extremely uncomfortable to Duan Mu Yan.

"Who are you?" Duan Mu Yan coldly stated, not relaxing her guard in the slightest.

"Don't you want to know who you are?" Shen Hanxin asked. Duan Mu Yan frowned, her long eyelashes revealing her doubts. She was deciding whether or not she should listen to the explanation of the man before her. Seeing that Duan Mu Yan did not say anything, Shen Han Xin could not help but laugh and continued speaking.

"Rather than believing in a harem woman's words, why not believe in your own intuition? So what if you want to hear it? It's not like I'm forcing you to believe me." As before, she remained silent as she slowly walked towards the table and sat down. Her eyes seemed to indicate for Shen Hanxin to continue.

"Actually, I'm not too sure either …" With that, Duan Mu Yan stood up abruptly and pulled out her dagger, aiming it at Shen Han Xin's neck.

"You don't have to be so excited, do you? However, I know your name is Meng Yan, and you are definitely not an elegant lady of the palace. Shen Hanxin spoke anxiously, but inexplicably, he did not have the slightest reaction when Duan Mu Yan attacked him. Normally, his dagger would have stabbed into his chest right now.

"Are you sure?" Duan Mu Yan frowned, feeling skeptical.

"Not only is it certain, it is also very sure!" Shen Hanxin made a vow.

"Then who are you?" From Shen Hanxin's expression, Duan Mu Yan couldn't see even the slightest hint of emotion. Perhaps he really didn't know. As Duan Muyan spoke, she slowly withdrew her dagger and returned to her seat.

"Me? My name is Shen Hanxin, and I am the Mu King of the Southern Yue. I am the owner of this mansion, and from now on, you can live here until you remember everything! " Shen Hanxin raised his finger and touched the dagger that was pressed against his neck. His heart was in deep thought.

"Why did you save me?" Duan Mu Yan sheathed her dagger. She wanted to know too much, but haste makes waste. Moreover, she felt that Shen Han Xin's idea was within her consideration. At the very least, this place was safer than Yi Qing Palace.

"If This King says that I like you, will you believe me?" Shen Hanxin pretended to be serious as he replied.

"Meng Yan, you're the one who hurt Meng Yan, so you're the one who found out!" Duan Mu Yan didn't think much of it, but a hint of warning could be seen in her eyes. Shen Han Xin might have lost her memory, but she still didn't have a good impression of him. Could there be something wrong with her eyes?

"Cough, cough …" It is getting late, so you can rest in peace. No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you! " This was the first time he had admitted that he had feelings for a woman. Since that was the case, he would not let go of this woman's hand, he would never do it again.

After the door was tightly shut, Duan Mu Yan viciously exhaled a long breath before she slumped into a chair. There were so many things that happened after Hua Qingge woke up that she couldn't tell if it was real or fake, but at least she was currently safe, Duan Mu Yan thought. As for the rest of the matters, she would have to wait for her to get a good night's sleep before making any other plans. Right now, she could only rely on herself, so she had to be strong.

Within the Residence of Han, Shen Hansheng sat in the main hall with an icy expression. The cold glint in his eyes was enough to freeze the entire atmosphere in the main hall.

"Your Highness, according to Imperial Concubine Hua's performance, Princess Yu Ying is right. Furthermore, if the Yi Qing Palace suddenly changed to the Qing Que Palace, Imperial Concubine Hua would not have expected it." Ye Li quietly analyzed, breaking the deadlock.

Bing'er also felt that Xia Hou Yu Ying was not lying. I assume that the Yi Qing Palace should have been filled with Lady Meng Yan, but she changed it to Qing Que at the last moment. I believe only Lifei knows the truth. Thinking back to the scene just now, Leng Bing Xin felt a lingering fear.

Xia Hou Yu has always been meticulous, it was not easy to steal a dragon and turn a phoenix from her, plus with Liu Yu'er's help, do we still need to investigate the person that kidnapped Meng Yan!" Shen Hansheng glared at Zhang Xuan, his thin lips curled up into a smile that would send chills down the spines of anyone who saw it. "Ye Li and Leng Bing Xin looked at each other in dismay as they suddenly realized something.

"Master is talking about Mu Wang?" Ye Li said doubtfully.

"Shangguan Wuye had told me two days ago that the Thousand Faces King Hades had already fallen under Shen Hanxin's tutelage. With his disguise, it wouldn't be difficult for him to disguise as the father to bring Meng Yan out of the palace!" Shen Hansheng said coldly.

"Your highness can't be wanting to directly go to the Mu King's manor to ask for someone, right?" Leng Bing asked worriedly, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"If he can safely hand over Meng Yan An, then I will give him the crown prince position. Do you think he will reject such a condition?" Looking at Shen Hansheng's solemn eyes, Leng Bing Xin believed that he wasn't joking.

"Your Highness!" Leng Bingxin wanted to speak up to persuade him, but Shen Hansheng's icy gaze stopped his. All his words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

"All of you, step back!" This King has already made up his mind! " Shen Hansheng waved his hand coldly. Leng Bing Xin took a deep breath and was about to speak again, but Ye Li stopped his.

He suddenly felt that he was so powerless. No matter how he tried, he was unable to protect Duan Mu Yan completely, and when he saw the naked girl in Yi Qing Palace, Shen Han Sheng could not even describe the fear and dread in his heart. If the person on top was really Duan Mu Yan, he thought that he would die! On the way back, he had already thought it through very clearly. As long as he could be together with Duan Mu Yan, he was willing to give up everything, even the status and power, in his heart, to Duan Mu Yan! Thus, for the sake of Duan Mu Yan, he had made the biggest decision of his life.
