Qing Lan retreated after hearing her voice, but didn't take another look at Xiao Yuxuan. With his identity, how could he be greedy?

"According to the Imperial Tutor, Zitong will be back soon …" Duan Zitong pursed her lips as she spoke in a soft voice!

"Princess, please feel free …" Xiao Yuxuan lowered her brush and prepared to send him off.

"No need …"

The moment he saw Duan Zitong's figure fade out of the Tutor Hall, Xiao Yuxuan gritted his teeth and used some strength in his hand to break the brush. His sword-like brows creased and his clear eyes flashed with an icy coldness!

He recognized that girl. That day, if it wasn't for her pretending to be Duan Mu Yan, the result between him and Mu Yan definitely wouldn't be like this! So she was Duan Zitong's man.

At this moment, Qing Lan was waiting outside the Tutor Manor. When she saw Duan Zitong walk out, she hurried over to welcome him!

"What is it …" The clear and cold voice carried a trace of sullenness as Duan Zitong spoke indifferently!

"Reporting to the princess … "I've brought Su Jin Xiu here …" Qing Lan lowered her head and replied honestly.

"I almost forgot …" "Let's go and take a look …" Duan Zitong's expression instantly fell, and a cold light couldn't help but burst out of his eyes. Even though Xiao Yuxuan wasn't there to protect her, she was still 'thinking' about Duan Mu Yan's life in the Xiao Mansion!

Within the Phoenix Storage Pavilion, Su Jinxiu waited fearfully. She racked her brain to think of the reason why the Seventh Princess would ask to see her. From what she knew, the Seventh Princess might be from the mortal world, but she wasn't a good person.

With a light cough, Duan Zitong slowly walked back to the Phoenix Storage Pavilion. As she entered, he instructed Qing Lan to close the door from the inside!

"This servant greets Seventh Princess …" The instant she met Duan Zitong's sharp eyes, Su Jinxiu's body trembled violently. Just those eyes alone were enough to make people tremble with fear!

Duan Zitong narrowed his phoenix eyes and swept a glance at Su Jin Xiu. She could be considered pretty, but her eyes were filled with content.

"Save it …" "Get up, let's sit …" Duan Zitong sat down beside the jade chair and looked at Su Jin Xiu with his thick eyes.

"Your name is …"

"Reporting to the princess, this servant is Su Jin Xiu …" Despite standing up, Su Jinxiu still bent down humbly, not daring to look Duan Zitong in the eye.

"Embroidery..." This name was a joyous name! Let me ask you, how long have you been at Duke Xiao Palace? " Duan Zitong picked up the teacup and took a sip. The aroma was rich, sweet and refreshing, with a light and elegant tea fragrance lingering in her nose.

"Reporting to Princess, this servant is to accompany the maidservant. It has already been seven years since I married my own son to the Xiao family …" Su Jin Xiu cowered and opened her mouth. She felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles!

"Seven years … In other words, the Qi King and her official wife have been husband and wife for seven years? " Duan Zitong put down his teacup and wiped her cherry lips with it, as if surprised.

"Yes …" If the young miss marries into the prince's mansion, no more, no less, seven years! " In her heart, she seemed to have guessed that perhaps this Seventh Princess was a friend and not an enemy.

"Hmm, then how is your master's relationship with the Qi King?" Although Duan Zitong had heard about Xiao Jin Feng's beloved wife's life, Su Jin Xiu's words were more convincing!

"In reply to Princess, Prince has treated my Miss like a pearl or a gem. While she was bedridden, he took great care of her and cared for her well. It's been seven years and they've never tripped over each other before. It can be said that they respect each other very much." Su Jin Xiu did not lie. It was true!

"On the day of the prince's consort, my family's young miss … Ending with hatred... "Prince didn't even take a fancy to the last part of my house …" Her soft voice was slightly choked with sobs. Su Jin's eyes were filled with mist as tears filled her eyes.

"What a pity …" However, there was a saying, "Blind is not clear, your master is blessed …" If she was still alive, who knew how much her heart would ache as she watched the full moon fall of the Qi King and his concubine … "It's good that he's dead, but he can still stay in the heart of the Qi King for a long time …" At the very least, he looked like someone like Su Jin Xiu. Although her eyes were filled with tears, her heart was fake.

"Princess, you might not know, but the prince is very sensitive to my young lady's feelings. Even if my young lady doesn't have this good fortune, the prince's heart is still only filled with my young lady …" Su Jin Xiu could hear Duan Zitong's probing. Since she wanted to know, she could tell her. It wouldn't be bad for her to have this branch.

A trace of sharpness flashed through her shallow eyes. Duan Zitong stood up leisurely and walked towards Su Jin Xiu with light lotus steps.

"How dare you!" What you mean is that the Mo Dynasty's third princess, my third royal sister, is actually not comparable to a dead person?! " The clear and cold voice contained a bone-piercing coldness as Duan Zitong coldly reprimanded him!

"This servant doesn't dare …" This servant was only speaking the truth, even though the Qi King against his concubine was neither cold nor hot … However, it's a good thing that the Prince of Xiao took her as his own and protected her in every way! " After hearing Duan Zitong's reprimand, Su Jinxiu quickly knelt on the ground with her eyes lowered as she spoke while trembling!

"Oh …" Old Prince Xiao really dotes on the Three Sovereign Sis? " Duan Zitong's eyes flashed with a cold light as she transferred Xiao Yuxuan and Xiao Yin! Duan Mu Yan … You are lucky, but unfortunately, who asked you to be your opponent?! I will transfer the people around you one by one. I will turn the Xiao Residence into your living hell.

"In reply to the princess, this servant doesn't dare to hide anything. Elder Xiao does indeed have a good relationship with the imperial concubine, but …" Su Jin Xiu could feel the strangeness in Duan Zitong's eyes. That eerie and cold gaze made people shudder in fear! Su Jinxiu knew that Duan Zitong was only using her mouth to probe about Duan Mu Yan's situation in the Xiao family. Moreover, she was certain that this Seventh Princess was even more scheming than her to make Duan Mu Yan die a horrible death! The fact that she had sent Xiao Yuxuan to the Imperial Palace was enough to explain everything!

"But what?" Duan Zitong's beautiful eyes swept across Su Jin's embroidery on the ground.

"It is precisely because of this that the conflict between the prince and the old prince is getting bigger and bigger! The fact that Prince Qi married into Prince Xiao's estate and even caused him to be separated from my Young Miss by yin and yang still remains a grudge in his heart! "

"Is that so …" "In that case, the Qi King has a long relationship …" Duan Zitong's cherry lips curled up and a hint of strangeness appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes fell back onto Su Jin Xiu's body!

"Embroidery..." You've been in the Xiao family for so many years, and you've worked hard even without any merits. Now that your young miss has returned to the west, you … "What are your plans?" Unbeknownst to them, Duan Zitong wanted to bribe Su Jin Xiu to see if she had any value in bribing her.

"Reporting to the princess … It had already been seven years since this servant followed the Young Miss to the Xiao Residence. In this servant's heart, the Xiao Residence had long become a place for this servant to stay for the rest of her life. Although the Young Miss was no longer here, there was still the Prince … "Your servant is determined to serve Young Miss as usual …" Su Jin Xiu's words were so explicit that Duan Zitong naturally heard them and a trace of a dark feeling flashed across his heart.

Duan Zitong's delicate eyebrows slightly raised as her clear eyes swept past Su Jin Xiu. Her cherry lips moved slightly, but she hesitated to speak!

"Qing Lan …" Qing Lan understood tacitly and took out a silver note from her sleeve, handing it over to Su Jin Xiu.

"Although you're only a servant, this princess greatly appreciates your loyalty. This is a reward for you, take …" Duan Zitong returned to her jade chair with a casual wave of her hand and sat down before picking up her teacup again!

Su Jin Xiu bowed respectfully and slowly took the silver taels from Qing Lan's hands!

"It's getting late, it's not convenient for you to stay in the palace any longer! If this princess ever gets bored and flustered, I'll call you over … "Let's go down …" Duan Zitong waved her hand and someone brought Su Jin back down!

Seeing Su Jin's figure gradually disappearing from his line of sight, a dark and cold glint flashed across Duan Zitong's eyes! Would Xiao Yin view Duan Mu Yan as though she were his own? This old thing was probably muddled! Humph.

"Qing Lan, send someone to investigate this Su Jin's background. If it's really as she said, then this person is still useful!" Duan Zitong lightly parted her cherry lips!

"Yes sir!" There were some questions in Qing Lan's mind, but it wasn't her style to ask all sorts of questions. When she saw the doubt in Qing Lan's eyes, Duan Zitong couldn't help but wipe her lips and smile!

"You think she has no value?" Duan Zitong retorted!

"This servant doesn't dare!"

"Don't underestimate this little girl. The light in her eyes is much sharper than yours. If you are talking about tricks, you might not be her match!" You just heard it too... She kept saying that she would serve Xiao Lingfeng for the rest of his life. Don't you know the hidden meaning behind her words? "The main wife is dead. She wants to take her place. Heh …" Duan Zitong admired Su Jin's whimsical imagination. If she could pull Su Jin Jian along, her wish wouldn't be unfulfilled. Qi Wang Li being the first wife and riding on Duan Mu Yan's head, this play … It should be interesting.

"She …" Are you crazy?! " Xiao Yuxuan's figure flashed in Qing Lan's mind. Her white clothes were whiter than snow, and the jade tree was like the wind; even a maid could marry a prince.

"Qing Lan …" Are you okay? " Noticing the change in Qing Lan's expression, Duan Zitong couldn't help furrowing her brows.

"Ugh …" This servant is fine! "But I was shocked by Su Jin Xiu's thoughts …" Qing Lan lowered her head to hide her guilt!

"Qing Lan, let me tell you, there is nothing in this world that can't be done only if one can't think of it! Su Jin Xiu is stronger than you in that she dares to think and do it! Just watch! "This Su Jin's embroidery will definitely make Duan Mu Yan's days in the Xiao manor go up in color …" A frightful cold light flashed through his dark eyes. The corners of Duan Zitong's mouth curled up in a way that would cause chills to run down one's spine.

On the second day after Su Jin returned, the imperial edict arrived at the Xiao manor!

The war in the north is on the verge of breaking out. Special orders: Xiao Wang to set off immediately and rush to the north to reinforce them! "This …" After Eunuch Li read out the imperial edict, he put it away properly and walked towards Xiao Yin, hoping that Xiao Yin would not refuse the edict.

"Eunuch Li …" Is the border war in a hurry... "Why didn't General Deng Yong hand over the paper earlier …" Xiao Yin looked at Eunuch Li with doubt!

I say, General Xiao, you are asking the wrong person! "I am just an eunuch. In the matters of the nation, I am not the only one involved. Don't even think about it. Hurry up and accept the decree and get ready to set off!" Eunuch Li was helpless. Every time he read an imperial edict at the Xiao manor, he would always show himself … At the very least, this was a royal decree for Xiao Yin. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble it would cause!

"Stop!" Eunuch Li! I have accepted this royal decree in place of royal father! " Just as Xiao Yin was about to extend his hand to receive the imperial edict, Xiao Lingfeng rushed to the front like an arrow and grasped the imperial edict in his hand!
