"Embroidery!" Duan Mu Yan! "You did a good deed!"

Xiao Jin Feng hastily carried Su Jin Xiu and rushed out of the main hall!

Looking at Xiao Jin Feng's background, Duan Mu Yan couldn't help puckering her lips. She originally thought that only the Imperial Palace would deceive her. In order to survive, they would go all out. She didn't expect that it would be the same here!

When she returned to her original position, Duan Mu Yan struggled to kneel on the ground. She was powerless to think about Su Jin Xiu's motives, powerless to care about Xiao Jin Feng's framing.

All the way until the evening, Duan Mu Yan was still kneeling in the main hall!

There was the sound of hurried footsteps as Xiao Yuxuan suddenly appeared in front of Duan Mu Yan!

"Mu Yan... I'm sorry I'm late! Get up! "I'll take you back to the palace …" Early in the morning, Xiao Yin called Xiao Yuxuan into the study room. Before Xiao Yuxuan could say anything, he pressed his acupoints and locked them. Until now, Xiao Yuxuan had already broken through his acupoints and ran over!

"No …" I can't go back to the palace... "Yu Xuan, you don't need to worry about me anymore. Everyone in the mansion will gossip once they see this. Go back and rest …" Right now, she was Xiao Jingfeng's secondary wife and Xiao Yuxuan's eldest sister-in-law. Even if she didn't care about her reputation, she still cared about the prestige of the imperial family, the Xiao family's reputation, and Yuxuan's reputation!

"Mu Yan! Don't you want to go to the palace and send off Fei Fei on her final journey?! You'll regret it... Mu Yan! Let's go to the palace first! Leaving the capital again! You have no happiness here at all, they are all unreasonable! " Xiao Yuxuan said angrily!

Seeing Duan Mu Yan being bullied, he could not tolerate it any longer.

"Jade Xuan …" I won't leave with you! Not now, not in the future! You can go back now! " Duan Mu Yan tried her best to not let her tears flow. She didn't want Xiao Yu Xuan to see the pain in her heart!

"Mu Yan …"

"Call me sister-in-law Wang …" Her cold voice didn't have the slightest warmth, and Duan Mu Yan knew that if she continued to pester her, she would only cause Xiao Yu Xuan to sink even deeper into her depression! She had already chosen this path, there was no way she could turn back!

Xiao Yuxuan's brows tightly knitted together. Her heart felt as though it had been cut by a knife as he looked at the unswerving determination in the depths of Duan Mu Yan's eyes!

"Sister Wang …" Even if you don't go back to the palace, you should go back to your room to rest... I asked Steward Zhou... He says you haven't eaten all day... "

"No need to trouble Ping Wang. As the secondary wife, guarding the spirit of the main wife is a form of etiquette and also respect! If the Ping Wang is fine, please go back! " Duan Moyan lowered her head and forced herself not to raise her eyes and not to look at Xiao Yuxuan. If she broke, then so be it. She was already a person without a future!

However, Xiao Yuxuan was different. He was young and capable, and he had managed to ascend to the throne! He was worthy of being loved by a better woman. His future was bright! If his father looked down on him because of him, how would he be able to live with it!

Xiao Yuxuan wanted to say something, but when he saw Duan Mu Yan's indifferent expression, he finally stopped himself.

"If you are tired, return to your room …"

After saying this, Xiao Yuxuan turned around and left.

When the cold wind blew, it made a whistling sound. The faint white silk fluttered in the air, making one's heart flutter like a ghost.

Due to the cold, Duan Mu Yan's body trembled from time to time. Her ice-like jade-like hands were tightly pressed against her numb legs. Gradually, her mind started to wander!

At this moment, steaming hot dishes suddenly appeared in front of him!

"I told you! Don't you worry about me! "This will ruin …" When she raised her gaze, Duan Mu Yan was stunned. Under her white brows, a pair of benevolent eyes was staring straight at her!

"Father …" Duan Mu Yan didn't expect it to be Xiao Yin and couldn't help but lower her eyes in apology!

"Mu Yan …" Father knows he's making things difficult for you! Shi Rou is a good wife, but it's a pity that she was unlucky and wasn't able to spend the rest of her life with Jing Feng. Her death was a great blow to him, and yet you married her at this time, which made him somewhat resistant! For the sake of an old man like me, forgive him, but don't put it in your heart! After a while, when his mood calmed down, he would naturally be able to accommodate you! Father knows this is unfair to you! "Please forgive me …"

Xiao Yin pursed his lips as guilt flashed past his eyes. He knew that the pain in Duan Mu Yan's heart was as painful as a mother's death, if it were the Eldest Princess or the Second Princess, even if he didn't say it, the Emperor would have ordered him to be brought back to the Imperial Palace!

However, she was the Third Princess and the daughter of Fei Fei. He knew a little about her, and the empress dowager had mentioned that the person who had secretly interrogated Qin Yu Die was one of his emissaries, Wei Liang! Back then, Wei Liang had been on patrol, passing through Jiangnan, Qin Yu Die's hometown. Thus, the empress dowager had sent him a secret letter, asking him to arrange for Wei Liang to secretly investigate that woman's background.

When they returned to the palace, Wei Liang was summoned by the empress dowager. When he returned, he was disarmed and returned to the palace, never to be seen again. Xiao Yin knew that the empress dowager was thinking for Wei Liang's sake. With the emperor's infatuation for Qin Yu Die, it was very possible that he would do something irrational!

If that was really the case, then the Emperor thought that Pi Fei had snitched on her, which was why he neglected her for twenty years. Even the First Prince and Third Princess were implicated!

There were several times when Xiao Yin wanted to report to the Emperor the truth! However, the empress dowager had already passed away, and Wei Liang was nowhere to be found. Even if he was willing to say it, the emperor might not believe it! Furthermore, it was forbidden for foreign officials to interact with imperial concubines in the palace. If he were to speak up for her, the consequences would be great.

"Father's words are too harsh … Mu Yan understood the feelings of the Qi King … No matter what he said or did, Mu Yan would not take it to heart … "Please be at ease, royal father …" Duan Mu Yan never thought that Xiao Yin would be so considerate as to say these words to his.

Xiao Yin slightly nodded as his eyes flashed with a trace of gratification!

"Just now … I heard your conversation with Yuxuan! Father thanks you for your understanding! That kid, Yu Xuan, isn't sensible. Luckily you are different from him, otherwise … The entire Xiao Residence would be unable to escape this calamity … Sigh … You're a good boy! Royal Father also believes that you will definitely be a good wife to our Xiao family! I just made you suffer so much, royal father apologizes … "

Xiao Yin said from the bottom of his heart. Looking at Duan Mu Yan's trembling body, he could not help but push food to her side!

"You haven't eaten for a whole day! Eat first, don't kneel anymore. Be careful of the cold! "

"Thank you, royal father …" Her gentle voice seemed to be choked with sobs as Duan Mu Yan extended her jade-like hand to pick up the bowl of rice in front of her. This was Xiao Yin's kind intentions, Duan Mu Yan could feel Xiao Yin's love and care for her, like a father who cared for her.

"The deeper, the deeper it becomes. Father should return to his room to rest …" It's enough as long as Mu Yan is here … " Duan Mu Yan slightly raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yin!

"Un, I believe Xin Feng will be here soon as well!" Don't hold on, remember to go back and rest! "

Xiao Yin's footsteps gradually grew further and further away. Duan Mu Yan's tears fell as she looked at the food in her hands. After mufei left and her father ignored her existence, Xiao Yin treated her like a father. Duan Mu Yan was already satisfied!

This night was destined to not be spent peacefully.

Just as Duan Mu Yan was about to eat, Xiao Yu Xuan walked into the main hall with a blanket in his hand!

"I knew you wouldn't leave! Since you are unwilling to listen to me, then put it on. If I am sick from the cold, the spirit of the heavens will not be at ease! " Xiao Yuxuan approached Duan Mu Yan and saw the dish in her hand. Just as she was about to speak, an ice-cold voice rang out from the entrance!

"You guys are too presumptuous! This was Shi Rou's mourning hall! This is not a place for you to put up with! " Xiao Lingfeng's cold eyes cracked as he angrily stared at the two people within the spirit hall!

"Big brother! What did you say?! Mu Yan had knelt here for an entire day and night! It's fine if you don't care about it, but if you don't care about it, that's fine! He actually insulted her like this! I just sent her a blanket! " Xiao Yuxuan stood in front of Duan Mu Yan, his eyebrows raised!

"Stop arguing! This was the mourning hall, the Qi King. Jade... "Ping Wang only wanted to give me a blanket, there's no other reason …" Afraid that they would start a fight, Duan Mu Yan hurriedly put down her bowl and stood up to explain.

Afraid that Xiao Yu Xuan and Xiao Jin Feng would argue again, Duan Mu Yan slammed down onto the ground and tried to get up to stop them, but her legs were numb and she almost fell to the ground! It was a good thing that Xiao Yuxuan's eyes were sharp as she quickly helped stabilize Duan Mu Yan!

"Are you alright?!"

Duan Mu Yan shook her head as her jade-like arm subconsciously pulled away from Xiao Yu Xuan. She raised her gaze to meet Xiao Jin Feng's cold, disdainful gaze!

"No wonder you haven't eaten all day!" So it was acting pitiful and sympathetic! If you want to seduce a man, I'll have to trouble you to find another place. This is Shi Rou's mourning hall! We can't allow you to be so tainted! "

Xiao Jin Feng's words were like a sharp blade that pierced Duan Mu Yan's body. The hostility of the man in front of her was much deeper than she had imagined!

"Qi King …" This meal was a gift from Father … Yuxuan and I were cautious in our words, we had nothing to do with each other! Now that you're here... "I'll head back to my room first …" An explanation was a cover up. If it wasn't for Xiao Yuxuan getting involved, Duan Mu Yan didn't want to explain too much!

Seeing that Duan Mu Yan was about to leave, Xiao Jin Feng harrumphed coldly.

"Who are you!?" Father will send you food?! "Hmph …" Since he didn't have any sincerity, then why bother pretending to be good? Shi Rou, don't come out for the funeral tomorrow! I believe she hates to see you too! " Xiao Lingfeng coldly shouted!

"Xiao Jingfeng! … Don't go too far! You should be clear about Duan Mu Yan's identity! She was the third princess of the Mo Dynasty! How can you be so insulted! " The normally gentle Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards as he clenched his fists tightly and prepared to smash them towards Xiao Jingfeng!

"Ha!" Princess?! In the entire capital, who didn't know that she, Duan Mu Yan, was a princess in name? He couldn't even be compared to a maid! It's none of my business! But I hate it! Why did the Emperor want to marry her to me?! I don't care! Shi Rou would be fine! It was because of her! Shi Rou couldn't stand this stimulation! That's why they left me! Duan Mu Yan! "Scram!"

Xiao Jin Feng suddenly cursed at Duan Mu Yan like a madman. His scarlet eyes were sinister and terrifying, as though he was about to spit out blood!

"This is too much!" Xiao Yuxuan could no longer tolerate such insults and insults from Xiao Lingfeng. He rushed forward and viciously struck out at him!

Duan Mu Yan bit her lips as she looked up with her misty eyes to see Xiao Yu Xuan's fist. Without any hesitation, Duan Mu Yan dashed in front of Xiao Jin Feng to block his palm strike …

Duan Mu Yan instantly felt his body churning and his mouth turning salty. "Pu" A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out! Dark red blood fell onto the azure marble floor, like a bunch of manna pearls in full bloom!

"Mu Yan …" Xiao Yuxuan snapped out of his daze and hurriedly pulled Duan Mu Yan into his embrace!

"I... I'm fine... Please... Stop arguing... I'll go back... Dont come out... "Don't worry …" Duan Mu Yan struggled to break free from Xiao Yu Xuan's embrace. Her gaze landed on Xiao Jin Feng's tyrannical handsome appearance. With a slight nod of her head, she staggered out of the main hall!
