"If Grand Concubine Qing wants to know, she should ask the Duke of Han. Meng Yan doesn't know." Duan Mu Yan could feel the enmity coming from Qing Que's body. It wasn't a bad thing to be jealous of her, as only jealous women would go crazy. What she wanted was the madness of Qing Que!
"Do you know the reason why Duke Han was able to ascend to the throne so smoothly? Who was the biggest contributor?" Qing Que turned her body to look at Duan Mu Yan, her eyes glimmering with a cold light. Although she had no other choice, she wanted to monopolize Shen Hansheng's heart.
"Meng Yan is just a weak girl who knows nothing about politics." The corner of Duan Muyan's lips curled up slightly as she calmly replied.
"It's me!" Qing Que spoke in a low voice, and a bright splendor flashed in her eyes.
"Actually, what did Grand Concubine want to say to Meng Yan?" Duan Mu Yan really didn't like dealing with Qing Que, so she directly asked.
"Good question!" I just want to tell you this: In Shen Hansheng's heart, I will always have an irreplaceable position. Qing Que warned coldly, her eyes as cold as ice. Originally, Duan Muyan wanted to be perfunctory. However, before she could open her mouth, she saw that familiar figure.
Even if Meng Yan were to be sealed in the future, she would definitely be under the imperial concubine. In the end, you are the imperial concubine of the Grand Emperor, at least in name, Meng Yan will never be stronger than you! "It's a pity, Grand Concubine seems to be a few years younger than Meng Yan …" Duan Mu Yan had a slight smile on her face, but her words were filled with ridicule for Ming Que!
"How dare you!" How could Qing Que endure such mockery? She immediately slapped Duan Mu Yan's face with her palm. Just as Ming Que was about to raise her hand again, Shen Han Sheng had already bellowed at him.
"Stop!" An icy cold voice suddenly rang out as Shen Hansheng strode over to Qing Que, pulling Duan Mu Yan over to his side.
"Great Concubine Qing, what does that mean?" Shen Hansheng's sword-like eyebrows creased tightly and his black eyes were filled with rage. At the same time, his cold voice sounded out, causing others to tremble in fear.
"Why would Duke Han be angry? I was only teaching a silly palace maid a lesson." Qing Que withdrew the coldness in her eyes and spoke softly.
"Meng Yan is not a palace maid, she is the Queen that I will be bestowing the title of! I hope that Grand Concubine Qing will consider her identity and not do anything that is inconsistent with it! " Shen Hansheng spoke with a sonorous voice, his eyes filled with the utmost resolution. Hearing this, Qing Que's eyes suddenly turned cold, as she looked at Shen Hansheng in disbelief.
"Before Duke Han ascended the throne, he wanted to bestow the title of Queen? Isn't it too early? One must know that right now, the Mu King is watching like a tiger at the border, so I advise the Han King to put first priority on national affairs! Your title of emperor is not easy to come by. If you were to lose it, I wonder how many people would waste their efforts! " Qing Que's voice was filled with rage as she turned her gaze onto Duan Mu Yan.
"This King has his own ideas on this matter, so there's no need for Grand Concubine to worry!" The imperial concubine just needed to remember that Meng Yan was the queen who was about to be conferred the title! "Meng Yan, come with me!" Shen Hansheng was truly infuriated. The woman he was holding in his hands that he was afraid of dissolving was actually being beaten up in front of him. It was as though his identity was not in his way. He really wanted to use a tooth in return!
Meng Yan was speechless, she could only allow Shen Han Sheng to pull her wrist, allowing him to leave. In that moment, Duan Mu Yan was indeed enjoying the care and care of Shen Han, and looking at her purple face, Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but smile lightly, that smile reaching the bottom of her heart.
"How preposterous!" Qing Que smacked the white jade railings with one hand, her fingers tightened and tightly gripped the railings. She didn't even realize that her fingernails had been broken.
"Empress, this Meng Yan is relying on the love of King Han, she doesn't put you in her eyes at all. If in the future she really ascends to the last position, what will happen then?" Off to the side, Xing'er's eyes glittered with a cold light.
"She wanted to live, but she needed that life! to the palace! " Qing Que coldly said, the corner of her lips curling up into a smile, making people tremble uncontrollably.
Xin Yu faction.
Shen Hansheng's heart ached as he looked at Duan Mu Yan's flushed cheeks, his lips pursed into a smile.
"Why didn't you dodge? Or maybe we can just fight our way over! "
"Meng Yan just doesn't want to be too nosy. Imperial Concubine Qing said that the reason why the prince ascended the throne was because she was the most important person. Meng Yan didn't want to make things difficult for the prince in the middle." Duan Mu Yan replied in a gentle voice, paying no heed to the matter.
"This King is determined to succeed the throne! No matter who was missing, it would not change the outcome! Meng Yan, I am deeply grateful for you giving in to me, but I do not wish for you to be wronged in the slightest. Even if it's just a harsh sentence, I am not willing to bear it! " Being so close, Duan Mu Yan was able to clearly see Shen Han Sheng's eyes that were filled with deep emotions. The light that radiated from them was even gentler than the moonlight, and it seemed to be able to burn Duan Mu Yan's heart.
"How can I repay the friendship that the prince has for Mu Yan …" Duan Muyan's lips parted slightly, as though she was asking something in a low voice, or muttering to herself. She could feel Shen Hansheng's true feelings, but how could they be any match for her hatred for her brother?
"This King has never expected anything from you. I only hope that you can lead a good life." Shen Hansheng couldn't help but reach out to caress Duan Mu Yan's cheek. When his fingers touched the skin that could be broken with a flick of his finger, the flames he had hidden in his heart suddenly exploded. After loving for so long, it would be a lie to say that he didn't want to go any further.
Feeling the blazing fire in Shen Hansheng's eyes, Duan Mu Yan wanted to cast aside her face, but she suppressed the impulse in passing. She quietly sat there, allowing Shen Han Sheng's slightly rough fingers to stroke her face, those eyes that were as clear as water seemed to be harmless, but who would have thought that the bottom of Duan Mu Yan's heart was surging with raging waves, the haze in her heart like a bottomless black hole that was growing bigger and bigger, as though it was about to swallow her entire heart.
"Meng Yan …" He could not help but half squat in front of Duan Muyan, his thin lips slightly pursing up as they neared her full and smooth lips. The desire in his eyes grew stronger, and the moment those lips bent down, Duan Muyan's body tilted slightly, before she stood up and walked around the table.
"It's getting late, and I should get some rest." Duan Muyan spoke in a gentle voice, her eyes unperturbed. Shen Hansheng was taken aback for a moment before he nodded his head awkwardly.
"Then you should rest early …" Even though he was reluctant to part with her, Shen Hansheng still turned around and left. He believed that he had enough time to reform Duan Mu Yan, allowing her to fall in love with him once more. That's why he didn't care about this moment.
At this moment, as the doors opened, Xiao Jin Feng was the first to step into the inner room. Following that, his heart felt so small that it felt as though it was about to collapse at any moment.
"Master …" Xiao Jin Feng was about to speak, but he was caught off guard.
"Is she the master of the Pear Blossom Pavilion? Was it the princess of the Badlands Court? "So beautiful …" Little by little, she praised him excitedly as she subconsciously placed both of her hands on his shoulders.
"Who is she?" The vast majority of the females in front of Duan Muyan had no impression of her at all.
"Master, she is the disciple of the Divine Thief, Baili Chuxiong. It was my bad to offend such a troublesome person." Originally, Xiao Jin Feng and the rest had wanted to take care of her, but her master was someone they could not afford to offend. Under such circumstances, Yan Wu Hen and the rest decided to let Xiaoxiao join the Pear Blossom Pavilion, without her making any contributions, and only hoped that she would keep her mouth shut.
"Baili Chuxiong..." "Whatever, what's your name?" As his biting cold gaze gradually softened, Duan Moyan's lips curved upwards as he looked at Xiaoxiao. For some reason, she did not dislike this uninvited guest. Especially his pair of eyes that were as clear as water.
"Reporting to Master, this Subordinate is small!" The primary school's Xiao Lingfeng cupped his hands in reply, looking extremely solemn.
"Alright, Xiaoxiao, I have something that I need to ask you for. You can leave first." Her tone was filled with a danger that no one could resist.
"But …" She hesitated a little as she looked at Xiao Lingfeng, afraid that if she didn't pay attention, the man before her would disappear from her sight.
"There is only one way out. As long as you watch carefully, will I be able to escape?" Xiao Jin Feng helplessly spoke, his eyes flashing with an extreme sense of helplessness.
"That's true! That Brother Feng, you better hurry up, I will wait for you outside! " Xiao Min nodded seriously before leaping out of the pavilion. She might not have been able to do anything else, but her qinggong was still more than enough. She was, after all, the disciple of a godly thief.
After Xiaoxiao left, Duan Mu Yan suspiciously looked at Xiao Jin Feng, deep in thought.
"Is Master looking for me for something?" Xiao Jin Feng spoke respectfully, his eyes purposely avoiding Duan Mu Yan's question.
"I heard Qing Que say that Shen Hansheng was able to successfully ascend the throne because of her contributions. Thinking about it, if she did not take out Shen Ao Tian's Imperial Decree, Shen Hansheng might not have inherited the order so rightfully. Right now, I really want to know, what secrets does Qing Que's Imperial Decree have, you can contact Shen Hanxin, maybe he knows about it and things too! " Duan Mu Yan replied calmly.
"Yes, sir!" Xiao Jingfeng nodded in response.
"Also, I suddenly remember that I married King Moqi, Xiao Lingfeng, and the other unpleasant things at the Xiao manor. Zi Min should have accepted them at that time, and master also recognized her at that time, as well as a servant girl named Yao'er, who died miserably, and Su JinXiu was framed. I all remember it clearly, but why can't I remember how Xiao Jingfeng died?" During this period of time, Duan Moyan's memories flowed back and forth like a flood. However, she was unable to connect these memories together; there were many things that she still couldn't recall.
He did not know why he stood so perfectly straight, and his expression was extremely calm. After being silent for a long while, Xiao Lingfeng slightly lifted his eyes, looking straight into Duan Mu Yan's questioning gaze.
"Reporting to Master, Xiao Jingfeng died because of Qi Feifan and Chu Shirou's sudden death. He had to spend all his time drinking wine to dispel his worries and eventually die of depression." Even though he knew that Duan Mu Yan might be able to think of everything, he was unable to tell her the truth. Xiao Jin Feng had fallen into a sea of fire to save her, and he did not want her to know that the person standing in front of her was Xiao Jin Feng.
"Chu Shirou? I remember that I was a spirit servant for this woman, and that I was unable to see my mother for the last time. Forget it, since he is someone who isn't important, there is no need for me to waste my time. Also, why don't I have any memories of Xiao Yuxuan? Is there really such a person? " Duan Muyan suspiciously looked at Xiao Lingfeng, as she spoke in a disapproving manner.
