The candle flame swayed in the wind, flickering and dimming, its flickering light illuminating that beautiful face that was almost devilishly charming. Duan Xingyi casually leaned against the edge of the imperial concubine's chair, holding a folding fan in his hand, and a lush blood-red rose bloomed gracefully on his chest. Even the maidservant serving him at the side was mesmerized by this. She didn't even realize that the wine in her hand had fallen onto the ground!

"Second Prince, spare me …" This servant knows her wrongs! " When the maidservants heard the noise, they immediately knelt on the ground. Their hands holding the wine jugs trembled. The two maidservants who were beating Duan Xingyi's legs also knelt at the side, trembling in fear!

"Since you know your wrongs, you should be punished …" Not as good as... "I'll just have to gouge my eyes out …" Her gentle and charming voice had a hair-raising quality to it. Duan Xingyi charmingly looked at the shivering servant girl beside him as his thin lips curled into an elegant curve!

"Ah …" Second Prince, have mercy … This servant didn't dare to … "Please spare my life …" When the maidservant heard this, her face turned deathly pale and tears rolled down her cheeks. She continuously kowtowed towards Duan Xingyi until blood seeped out from her forehead. However, Duan Xingyi still didn't speak!

At this moment, the eunuch outside reported.

"Seventh Princess, you're here …" Before her shrill voice could fade away, Duan Zitong had already walked in with delicate steps. Behind him was Qinglan waiting respectfully outside the hall!

"Royal brother, what's going on?" Duan Zitong frowned slightly as she looked at the young maid who was crying silently on the ground. She then asked in suspicion!

"It's nothing. This maid is too infatuated with this prince. This isn't good …" I just wanted her to know that there's a knife on the head, so she gouged out her eyes. Who knew that she wouldn't accept my kindness? "I'm really tired of this …" Duan Xingyi slowly put away the folding fan in his hand and casually replied.

"You! Alright, alright! All of you, leave! You! In the future, he would no longer have to wait upon the Second Prince! Go to Suttin and get a job! " Duan Zitong impatiently waved her delicate hand, ordering him to step back! In the entire Saint Storage Pavilion, only Duan Zitong and Duan Xingyi were left!

"I'm talking about Starry Night! How many times have you warned me! Imperial Father has always ruled the world with kindness, and every so often you would gouge out his eyes and break both his legs, if this matter were to spread to Imperial Father's ears! It's not good for you! " Duan Zitong moved to Duan Xingyi's side and spoke earnestly!

"Elder sister's words are wrong about little brother …" How come Xingyi can't remember when he broke someone's legs? " Duan Xingyi slightly raised his good-looking eyebrows and said disapprovingly!

"You! Do you even need to lie to your sister?! That day, when that slut Duan Muyan got married, who knew which flame you were on when you came back?! It's still that maid you bumped into. Without saying a word, she broke her legs! Fortunately, Big Sister helped you settle this matter, if not, I want to see how you will explain this to royal father! " During this period of time, she had been busy trying to figure out Xiao Yuxuan's thoughts, so she didn't have to worry about her little brother anymore! That Jingyang Sect had been locked in the pavilion for more than half a month and his brother had not made a move yet! I really don't know what he's thinking!

"Oh …" "That Xingyi thanks elder sister. I don't know why elder sister took the time to come all the way here …" Duan Xingyi was still as sloppy as ever, causing Duan Zitong to feel uncomfortable! It was unknown when it started, but she was already unable to guess what her little brother was thinking!

Back in Jiangnan, she and her brother had talked about everything! As long as Duan Xingyi spoke, she would definitely be able to guess what he said! But forget it, perhaps it was the environment that created people! From a destitute environment where one had to worry about clothes and food everyday to suddenly becoming the prince and princess of the Mo Dynasty, there were only a few people who were able to remain calm amidst this earth-shattering change! It wasn't just Duan Xingyi. How could it not be unfair?!

"It's nothing! I just want to ask how your relationship with royal father is! I heard the palace maids say that you have been frequently seeking your royal father for tea recently, this is a good thing! But that Duan Jingyang, you're planning on running?! " Duan Zitong slowly sat beside Duan Xingyi.

"So that's what happened..." "Big sister, don't worry. I know what I'm doing …" Duan Xingyi didn't seem to have any intention of telling Duan Zitong about her thoughts! She was just casually passing them around and talking about them!

"Right …" Has elder sister's tutor been honest recently? You don't want to argue about returning to Duke Xiao Palace? " Duan Xingyi seemed to have spoken without any intention as a bright light flashed in the depths of his eyes!

"Heh …" He did! "It depends on whether I'm willing or not!" Mentioning Xiao Yuxuan, Duan Zitong's watery eyes lit up. She would never let go of such a supremely handsome man in this lifetime!

"Big sister doesn't want to, but it hurts the Imperial Tutor's heart. It'll be hard to get it back …" Duan Xingyi reminded him as he fiddled with the folding fan in his hand!

"Of course I understand this, but even if I let him return, it should be after a period of time. That Duan Mu Yan is currently locked in the Xiao Residence's firewood house. If Xiao Yu Xuan were to see that slut's wretched appearance, I really wouldn't have the confidence to recall him …" Duan Zitong's willowy eyebrows slightly raised as her eyes bloomed with a beam of wild joy! This was only the beginning, Duan Mu Yan! Do you think you can be carefree after leaving the palace?! Do you think Ling Ziyan's death can avenge me?! Wrong! The good show is yet to come! If I don't let you live a life worse than death, how can I, Duan Zitong, face the dead mufei!

"What is it? Duan Mu Yan entered the woodshed? Heh … Who would have thought that the Qi King would be so bold! As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse! "Even if Duan Mu Yan is an unfavoured princess, she is not someone that a prince with another surname can trample on as he pleases …" Duan Xingyi's charming peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed and his thin lips gradually curved. When his slender jade-like fingers grasped onto the folding fan, he couldn't help but tighten his grip!

"Xingyi... I don't understand what you're saying! Could it be that you want to fight for that Duan Mu Yan?! Don't forget! If it wasn't for her mother Ling Ziyan, why would us siblings be living outside?! "How could my mother have died with hatred!" Duan Zitong's expression was solemn, and his ice-cold voice contained a hint of anger! Everyone in this world can sympathize with Duan Mu Yan! Only his brother could not!

"Elder sister, why are you so angry …" "Xingyi's just talking about things. Since elder sister doesn't like it, then Xingyi won't speak of it …" Duan Xingyi still lazily leaned on the imperial concubine's chair, and his eyes that were bright like stars rippled with a faint light!

"It's not that you don't want to say it!" Xing Yi! Duan Mu Yan, elder sister will deal with him! As for that Duan Jingyang, this sister will leave it to you! And … Since Xiao Jin Feng hates Duan Mu Yan as much as we do, then … Can we try to get him to join us? Among the princes with the middle and outer surnames of the imperial court, the Xiao Palace is one of the most important places in royal father's heart. If we include Xiao Yuxuan in this matter, we will be able to obtain the support of the Xiao Palace. Duan Zitong plotted arrogantly!

"Big sister is right. Since that's the case, how about we make a trip to Prince Xiao's Mansion tomorrow to scout Xiao Jingfeng?" Duan Xingyi slowly sat up straight. It was rare for him to get serious!

"About this …" The prince of the palace was not allowed to interact with foreign officials! "If you want to go to the Xiao Residence, you must have a reason, right …" Duan Zitong pondered as she spoke!

"Elder sister, did you forget …" The Xiao family has three imperial sisters … As the royal brother, it should be reasonable for me to go and see the royal sister, right?! " Duan Xingyi's thin lips curled up as he casually said this!

"You … the goal of going to Duke Xiao Palace would not be Duan Mu Yan, right?! " For some reason, Duan Zitong felt that her younger brother had some sort of interest or intention towards that slut, Duan Mu Yan!

"Elder sister doubts my intentions, it's not like this is just one or two times! Although Xingyi didn't want to say it, he still had to remind her sister! Duan Mu Yan is the biological daughter of royal father. Like us, objectively speaking, she is my big sister and our father is the same person. Do you think Big Sister will like you?! " Duan Xingyi could not help but shake his head as he sneered!

"Truly …" Forget it! Perhaps elder sister is too worried, then you should make a trip tomorrow, it's getting late … Sister will be leaving first! " Duan Zitong glanced at Duan Xingyi, feeling that something was off. She then left the Sage Storage Pavilion!

Watching Duan Zitong's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Duan Xingyi couldn't help but smile coldly. "Crown Prince?" The throne? Heh! What he wanted was the Great Mo River!

A gentle breeze blew past. Yang Liuyi and Duan Zitong walked in front with small steps. Qing Lan respectfully followed behind them. There were several times when she wanted to confess to Duan Zitong!

In reality, Xiao Yuxuan had seen her face when they were fighting in the stealthily swapped pillars. Furthermore, Xiao Yuxuan had already recognized her when they were at the Tutor Hall! According to common sense, even if Xiao Yuxuan didn't interrogate his master, he would at least have some reaction. However, during this period of time, Xiao Yuxuan was becoming more and more respectful to the princess. However, if she did, she wouldn't be able to keep her life!

Just as Qing Lan was at a loss, Duan Zitong suddenly halted her steps!

"Princess?" When Qing Lan saw Duan Zitong glance back, she immediately lowered her gaze, hiding all her emotions!

"The princess suspects the second prince?" Qing Lan opened her mouth in surprise!

"It's not that I'm doubting it. I keep having the feeling that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong either …" "Alright, do as I say …" Duan Zitong couldn't help exhaling a long breath!

"Yes …" Qing Lan accepted the order and left. Duan Zitong stood on the spot for a long time before finally choosing the Hall of Tutor at the fork in the road!

On the jade bench beside the pond, a decisive and ethereal figure sat quietly. As the wind blew past, his black hair fluttered with the wind, and his clothes fluttered in the wind, like a direct immortal, like the setting sun, or the beginning of the new month. Under the moonlight, the outline of his face was exceptionally clear, the bridge of his nose was pointed, and several streams of light flowed in front of his forehead.

Perhaps it was because Duan Zitong's footsteps were too light, or perhaps Xiao Yu Xuan was too lost in thought that he didn't even know there was someone behind him!

"What are you thinking about?" A sudden voice interrupted Xiao Yuxuan's thoughts. What were they thinking? Other than Duan Mu Yan, he didn't know what else to think! Not seeing her for half a month, I wonder how she is doing?!

"Yuxuan didn't know that the princess had arrived, so he wasn't able to welcome her in. I hope that you can forgive me …" He stood up respectfully and bowed, bowing humbly. In front of Duan Zitong, Xiao Yu Xuan's expression was always the same. It was so calm that no one could see any emotion from her! It was so quiet that it made people panic!
