"Royal Consort … Yue Er refused to leave! "Yue Er wants to stay by your side …" Qiu Yue looked at her master with teary eyes! At the moment when Duan Moyan had shouldered all of the responsibility, Qiu Yue was extremely moved.
"Yue Er, if you are so willful, you will implicate the wangfei!" Housekeeper Zhou said earnestly and earnestly as he took Qiu Yue out of the woodshed!
The door was locked once again, and the tears that Duan Mu Yan had suppressed flowed down uncontrollably. At this moment, she suddenly discovered that she had lost her freedom!
Early in the morning, there was silence, the air was cold, the night was fading, and the sky was slightly bright. Dawn was breaking, and the mottled leaves were sprinkling down.
Xiao Jin Feng had originally wanted to wait for the news of his father's arrival at the camp after breakfast. Considering the time, it had been some time since his father had set out for the war, and he believed that his father had already arrived at the border of the Northern Yue State, Lanxi Town!
However, just as Xiao Lingfeng was about to eat his breakfast, a series of hurried knocks came from outside the manor. The housekeeper ordered his servant to open the door, but he didn't expect that it would actually be the Second Prince!
Xiao Lingfeng loathed Duan Xingyi from the bottom of his heart. If it wasn't for him that day, he wouldn't have missed the final time he had with Shi Rou! Even so, since the king and official had separated, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to go out and welcome them!
"Su Feng pays his respect to the Second Prince!" Her clear and cold voice was not at all warm, and Xiao Jin Feng opened his thin lips slightly, bowing respectfully.
"Save it …" The Xiao manor ate breakfast rather quickly. This king was still thinking about having a meal together with the three imperial sisters and the Qi King … It seems that we are still a step too late! " Duan Xingyi spoke warmly as he slowly closed the folding fan in his hand. His eyes were like silk!
"Since the Second Prince does not have any food, I shall give the orders now …" Without waiting for Xiao Lingfeng to finish speaking, Duan Xingyi immediately waved his hand!
"There's no need for that. This prince was just passing by and conveniently came to visit third royal sister …" The Qi King has business to attend to, do not let down your guard. " The corner of Duan Xingyi's mouth curled up into a smile. His charming peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed as if he harbored malicious intentions!
Xiao Lingfeng's heart trembled when he heard that. He could not help but be extremely astonished. Even if someone from the palace came to visit Duan Mu Yan, it should be Duan Jingyang! How could it be him?!
"The Qi King?" Seeing Xiao Lingfeng's abnormal expression, Duan Xingyi could not help but lightly call out. However, a wave of ice-cold ripples rippled out from the bottom of his heart! Xiao Jingfeng! I want to see what kind of Duan Mu Yan you will put in front of me!
"Ugh …" I'm afraid that the Second Prince has come at a bad time … Segments... Cough … Mu Yan has caught a cold and even used her breakfast in her room … " Xiao Lingfeng tried her best to remain calm as a cold shiver went down her spine. If Duan Xingyi were to see Duan Mu Yan locked up in the woodshed, the consequences would be unimaginable! No matter how weak Duan Muyan was, she was still a princess of the imperial family. If this matter were to spread to the ears of the Emperor, he wouldn't be afraid of death, but was afraid of implicating everyone in the Xiao Residence!
"Is my royal sister sick? This prince should go take a look … "I wonder where the Qi King and royal sister's rooms are?" His black eyes, which were as deep as an ancient pond, were flickering with an unfathomable light. His elegant and stern lower jaw was slightly raised as he looked at Xiao Jin Feng with certainty.
"This …" Xiao Jingfeng's brows slightly furrowed, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say! By his side, Housekeeper Zhou, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly stepped forward!
"Second Prince, please come to the main hall to drink some tea. This old servant will report to wangfei now. I'm sure wangfei will be overjoyed when she hears that the second prince has come to visit. Who knows, she might even be better …" Housekeeper Zhou cupped his hands in a salute, proposing to speak!
"Is that so …" Duan Xingyi's slightly narrowed eyes became increasingly dark and profound. His thin lips slightly curled up. This sentence was rather enjoyable, but … Ifhe wasn't ill, she would probably have gotten sick from anger.
Seeing Duan Xingyi heading towards the main hall, Xiao Lingfeng inwardly let out a breath of cold air. When he glanced at Zhou Han, he slightly nodded his head!
Leaning on the firewood, even though it was difficult for her to stand up, Duan Mu Yan's gaze turned towards the door. No one knew that every time that place was opened, her mind would always be filled with the illusion of a person, but Duan Mu Yan knew that it was only an illusion!
"Esteemed wangfei …" Housekeeper Zhou was very anxious as he stepped into the woodshed first. Behind him, Qiu Yue, who was carrying a pile of fancy clothes, unwillingly followed him in!
"You all …" Duan Mu Yan looked at Zhou Shun and Qiu Yue in shock. Both of her hands were ferociously pounding the wall as she slowly rose to her feet!
"Princess, this isn't good. The Second Prince, Duan Xingyi, suddenly came to visit and said that he must meet with the Princess. With the Princess' status, if people found out that you were locked in the woodshed at Prince Xiao's estate, a great calamity would befall the Qi King and the Xiao Estate!" Butler Zhou's forehead was dripping with sweat, his voice was trembling slightly!
"Duan Xingyi …" In his mind, that handsome yet somewhat charming face appeared. On that day's wedding, if it wasn't for Duan Xingyi, she would have met his mother for the last time and would not have left his life's worth of regrets! If she could choose, she would rather not see this man again in this life!
"It's good enough to think of Princess Hua-Yang now! "You shouldn't have locked her in the woodshed …" Off to the side, Autumn Moon muttered to herself!
"Aiya …" At this time! You're still talking about this! " Housekeeper Zhou lightly punched Qiu Yue. This was not the time to be full of temper!
"Housekeeper Zhou..." Actually, even if royal father knew of my situation, he would not anger the Xiao Residence … "So …" A hint of bitterness flashed through her heart. In that moment, she seemed to have seen the aura of the so-called royal father sitting on the dragon throne, and there was even a hint of ridicule!
"Royal Consort … This was also the intention of the Qi King! The Second Prince is currently in the main hall. Judging from his posture, if he doesn't see you, he won't leave! Royal Consort … Even if the Qi King is not as it should be, for the Old Prince's sake … On the Peace King's behalf! Just help the Xiao Residence … This old servant begs you! " Housekeeper Zhou's voice was choked with sobs. As he spoke, he was about to kneel on the ground!
"Housekeeper Zhou, please wake up. It's not that I don't want to …" "But …" However, she really didn't want to face Duan Xingyi anymore. No matter how gentle his character was, he would still have a temper!
"Royal Consort … Time was running out! The Second Prince was waiting outside. Once he rushed to the backyard, it would be too late! Furthermore … "No matter what you think in your heart, you are still an imperial concubine after all. Your relationship with the Qi King should not be in such a stalemate. Someone should take a step forward. This is also an opportunity …" Steward Zhou was trying his best to persuade Duan Mu Yan!
Seeing the anxious and worried expression on Housekeeper Zhou's face, Duan Mu Yan couldn't bear it any longer and nodded helplessly! Qiu Yue was about to say something else, but she endured it. At the very least, after this event, her master would probably leave the woodshed.
The atmosphere in the main hall became increasingly heavy. Duan Xingyi calmly sipped his top-grade bamboo silk tea while his charming peach blossom eyes glanced at Xiao Jingfeng from time to time. The corner of his lips curled up into a smile that was so faint that it would make one's heart tremble.
"It seems that my royal sister's illness is not light. Forget it, as your royal brother, it would be better for me to personally visit her. I will also spare her a lot of trouble!" As Duan Xingyi spoke, he lightly lifted the teacup in his hand and his slender figure leisurely rose!
"This... Second Prince, please wait for a moment. Mu Yan should be arriving soon … Otherwise... Senior Feng will go take a look! " Anxious, Xiao Jin Feng got up and blocked Duan Xing Yi. Just as he was about to step out of the main hall, he saw Duan Mu Yan standing in front of the two of them!
She was wearing a light green long dress with white gauze covering her hair, revealing her beautiful lines and visible collarbones. She was pleated with a skirt that was more than three feet long, making her posture more graceful and graceful as she walked slowly, revealing her hair in a bun, gently sweeping her eyebrows, making her skin as tender as jade. Her black jade hair was tied around her head like a bun, and a few pearls casually decorated her hair.
Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help but be astonished. From the day of his arrogant wedding till now, he had never once looked Duan Mu Yan in the eye. At this moment, he couldn't help but admit that Duan Mu Yan's beauty was unparalleled!
It was only until they got close that Xiao Jin Feng realized that Duan Mu Yan's face was abnormally pale, and her body was so weak that it needed someone's support! As for the reason, he was very clear about it!
"Even Mu Yan's dream never imagined that her second royal brother would step into the Xiao family's Duke Palace again …" Her cold voice contained a trace of resentment, and the instant she saw Duan Xingyi, Duan Mu Yan's chest felt as though it was stuffed with cotton wool!
"On the day of our arrogant wedding, Xingyi has a long future. I presume that Imperial Sis is blaming Xingyi for coming here too late …" Duan Xingyi's smile was so charming that it could frighten people. That smile was like the first blossoming of the moon. It was abnormally flirtatious and there was an indescribable gloominess to it as his thin lips slightly rose!
In order to prevent Duan Xingyi from seeing through his weakness, Duan Mu Yan pulled out the jade arm that was in Qiu Yue's hand and walked straight into the main hall! However, at the threshold, he lost his balance and leaned forward!
Just as Xiao Jin Feng was hesitating on whether he should step forward and support her, Duan Mu Yan had already landed in Duan Xingyi's embrace!
"My royal sister's illness really isn't light. If I had known earlier, Xing Yi would have personally come to the bedroom to visit …" Duan Xingyi's eyes narrowed slightly as a trace of an unfathomable glint appeared in his charming eyes. When his hand made contact with the body of the woman in his embrace, the desire in Duan Xingyi's eyes instantly vanished!
In her heart, she felt a trace of bitterness. After falling for a while, she had thought that Xiao Lingfeng would step forward to support her, at least for the sake of the Xiao Residence's safety! However, he did not expect to just stand there quietly with no expression on his face!
Forget it, even if they weren't willing to put on an act, they might not have had any chance to moderate down before this! As Housekeeper Zhou said, peaceful coexistence was absolutely impossible! In this world, other than his royal brother and Xiao Yuxuan, there was nothing else that she cared about.
Feeling the struggling of the woman in his embrace, Duan Xingyi intentionally tightened his arms, causing Duan Mu Yan's body to stick even tighter to him. The corner of his mouth, that curve became even deeper!
"It's just a cold, no need for royal brother to make such a big fuss!" At this moment, she suddenly felt helpless. If the person sitting in the living room was Xiao Yuxuan, then he definitely wouldn't put her in such a predicament!
"Why aren't you being careful when walking …" Seeing Duan Xingyi embrace Duan Mu Yan so unrestrainedly, Xiao Jin Feng's gaze turned slightly cold. Although he hesitated, he still went forward to pick up Duan Mu Yan from his embrace! Even so, the strength in Xiao Lingfeng's hand was not gentle like his voice!
"Mu Yan will pay attention to this …" When she walked to the side of the chair, Duan Mu Yan subconsciously pulled out her arm from Xiao Jin Feng's grasp and calmly replied!
Feeling that his hands had missed their target, Xiao Jingfeng's heart suddenly jolted. An inexplicable sense of loss gushed out, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye!
