Xiao Jingfeng stared fixedly at Chu Shirou on the bed. As long as she said 'don't go', even if her head dropped, he wouldn't pay respects or marry the Third Princess. However, when Housekeeper Zhou forcefully pulled Xiao Jingfeng out of the room, Chu Shirou still didn't open her eyes!

Feeling the sound of footsteps gradually getting further and further away, a beast-like sound came from the bed, but Chu Shirou still did not open her eyes. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, forming a string of pearls.

Even if he wasn't pampered, even if Duan Chen didn't accept Duan Mu Yan's kowtow, for the sake of face, this unpopular wedding was still unusually grand. The entire capital was decorated with lanterns and decorations, everywhere the bridal sedan went, flowers bloomed, gongs and drums rang out in the sky, and a tide of people followed the speed of the bridal sedan. They all wanted to catch a glimpse of the Mo Dynasty's Third Princess' appearance.

Inside the bridal sedan, Duan Mu Yan carefully wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. If she were to put on thick makeup, she would be disrespectful to others. She definitely couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake! Her cherry lips curved in a beautiful way, and she could only smile at the pain in her heart.

Although he and Xiao Yuxuan had known each other for a long time, Duan Mu Yan had never met Xiao Jin Feng, and had only heard these three words from Xiao Yu Xuan occasionally. Other than knowing that he already had a main wife and a loving couple, that they respected each other as their equal and fought bravely, and were even called the 'myths of the battlefield', Duan Mu Yan knew nothing about him!

In half an incense's time, she would become the side concubine of the Qi King. However, how could she not know how awkward her identity was, for Xiao Jingfeng, he only had the main wife in his heart, so naturally he would not allow her to sit on it. She did not care about that, what she cared about was how to face Xiao Yuxuan, how to fall in love for so long, and suddenly had to call out to her sister-in-law. She was truly afraid that she would not be able to resist hugging him and crying in his arms.

In the pavilion, Duan Jingyang's sword-like eyebrows were knitted together and his head felt like it was about to explode. His hands were constantly massaging his forehead and the moment he opened his eyes, a powerful light pierced through the window.

As he sat on the bed, Duan Jingyang slowly recalled what happened last night. He had caused Mu Yan to lose consciousness, and then told Xiao Yuxuan to abduct Mu Yan, but before he left, he hadn't even bothered to look at his own sister. After that, he returned to the Tyne Pavilion and drank a lot of wine, because he knew that once the matter was exposed, his royal father would definitely punish him.

Looking at the time, logically speaking, royal father's people should have arrived? How could there be no movement? Just as Duan Jingyang was feeling suspicious, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. It should be his father's men. Since Duan Jingyang was thinking this way, he decided to calmly stay in bed. At most, he would just die!

Unexpectedly, the person who ran in was Xue'er, the maidservant who was with mufei.

"The First Prince … Quickly go and see the Empress … She is fast... It's almost time to die … The First Prince … "Go quickly …" Xue'er burst into tears, her eyes red and swollen.

"What?!" Duan Jingyang's body froze as if someone was tearing him apart. The next moment, Duan Jingyang ran towards the Jade Pear Pavilion with all his might as tears welled in his eyes. Mufei … Wait for me.

Ling Ziyan extended her withered hand and placed it on Duan Jingyang's palm.

"Jing Yang …" You're here... What about Mu Yan … He went to play with Yuxuan again … Jing Yang... His little sister was still young … You don't know anything... You have to take good care of her for mufei... There's more … What did the Han Lin Courtyard teach yesterday? "Read it to mufei …"

Hearing Ling Ziyan's words, Duan Jingyang could no longer suppress the pain in his heart and burst into tears.

"Mufei …" Don't worry! I will take care of Mu Yan! I won't let anyone bully her … Mufei … " Perhaps it was because of Duan Jingyang's crying, but Ling Ziyan seemed to suddenly wake up. She did not know where she got the strength from as she tightly held onto Duan Jingyang's hand, struggling to open her pale lips.

"Jing Yang …" Mufei has let down Mu Yan, you have let down … Why! Why did the heavens do this to me! What did I do wrong... Sorry... "Sorry …" Waves of tears gushed out of her eyes like a flood from a broken dam. Only at the last moment did she realize that she had been unwilling all these years! She hated him!

"Mufei …" "Don't worry, I won't let Mu Yan suffer any grievances …" Seeing his mufei crying so sorrowfully, Duan Jingyang suddenly felt hatred! He hated royal father! He was the one who forced mufei into this state! Hate the entire palace!

"Duan Chen!" You sure are vicious … Why are you unwilling to drink Mu Yan's tea … "Duan Chen!" You are not worthy to be Mu Yan's father! You deserve to die! I, Ling Ziyan, will curse you to a miserable death! Mu Yan … "My Mu Yan …" After the last tear fell from her eyes, her dispirited pupils weakly closed. With a heart full of resentment and curses, Ling Ziyan had died.

Mufei …" What did you say... Filial Tea... No, I've already... Mufei … Don't scare me, Mufei … "Ahh!" An extremely sorrowful cry sounded out from the Jade Pear Palace. Duan Jingyang's entire body trembled as a bone chilling sadness spread out from the bottom of his feet! The anger hidden in his heart all burst out like a flash flood!

"Empress …" "Esteemed Empress …" When Xue'er ran into the house, Ling Ziyan had already passed away! Hearing Xue'er's voice, Duan Jingyang rushed to the front of Xue'er and tightly gripped her shoulders.

"Tell me! Did Mu Yan ever come to the Jisheng Palace to worship the filial tea?! Is she married or not?! " His dark eyes were filled with deep hatred!

"First Prince …" Xue'er looked at Duan Jingyang in horror. Her body was shaking so hard that it was about to shatter!

"Tell me!"

"Yes …" "Third Princess followed the etiquette of the morning morning tea and arrived at the Pear Palace to offer her filial piety …" The trembling voice was like a bolt of thunder that struck Duan Jingyang's head!

Xue'er's words were like a thunderclap that struck Duan Jingyang's body. The shock caused Duan Jingyang's heart to abruptly stop as a suffocating feeling filled his entire body!

"The First Prince … The First Prince, you must be alright … " Xue'er noticed Duan Jingyang's abnormal expression and frantically tugged at his sleeve! Duan Jingyang, who had been pulled back to reality by Xue'er, flew out of the palace! Mu Yan … Don't Marry... Don't marry... Mufei is dead … Do you know... Mu Yan … Mufei's greatest wish is for you to be happy … Don't marry Mu Yan.

The autumn wind washed over the fallen leaves. In Xiao Yuxuan's eyes, this desolate scene had a different charm to it. The traces of the wheels being tossed about were buried under the fallen leaves.
