"Prince Qi's words are quite serious. Since royal sister is sick, she can't walk steadily. It's fine if you can hold her, but why say so much …" Duan Xingyi's gaze swept across Duan Mu Yan before landing on Xiao Jin Feng. His words were obviously meant to reprimand him!

Xiao Lingfeng was displeased to hear this. Furthermore, he originally had a grudge with Duan Xingyi. He was just about to retort when Duan Mu Yan beat him to it.

"Husband's kind reminder was for Mu Yan's sake. I wonder what second royal brother's purpose in coming to the Xiao manor is?" In her heart, Duan Mu Yan knew Xiao Jin Feng's temper, so if they were to quarrel, it wouldn't be good. Thus, she continued to talk about the other party!

"Also what …" He had merely come under the orders of his father to visit the three imperial sisters … But now … "Xing Yi really doesn't know how to reply …" Duan Xingyi looked at Xiao Lingfeng provocatively as a sharp light flashed in his evil eyes!

"Did royal father really send you here?" Duan Muqing's eyes trembled, but she managed to calm down. How was this possible?! He had never cared about that aloof and lofty man who carried the title of royal father. If he could, he would wish that he and his mother could disappear from this world!

"Naturally... What did Imperial Sis think of that? " Duan Xingyi chuckled lightly. When his long and narrow eyes looked at Duan Mu Yan, they didn't conceal the bright light that shouldn't have been emitted from them!

"Cough!" Since the Second Prince had already seen it, Chu Feng decided to help Mu Yan back to his room! She has caught wind and cold on her body, so he's not well to sit around for too long! " Almost without obtaining Duan Mu Yan's consent, Xiao Jin Feng stood up and walked over to her side. His hands were unfeeling as he pulled Duan Mu Yan up. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Duan Xingyi speaking leisurely!

"Is that right …?" The Qi King waited on his royal sister, hoping that nothing would go wrong … Otherwise, royal father would be unhappy … Forget it! Since you've met your royal sister, then Xing Yi will not stay any longer. Farewell! " Duan Xingyi slowly stood up and walked gracefully to Duan Mu Yan's side.

"Sister royal …" You must take care of your body! Otherwise, your royal brother would feel heartache! " A strange and sinister smile appeared on her flawless face. As Duan Xingyi spoke, he actually lightly placed his hand on Duan Mu Yan's jade shoulder! At the side, Xiao Jin Feng's sword-like eyebrows were tightly knitted. He abruptly pulled Duan Mu Yan to the left and looked straight at Duan Xingyi!

"Senior Feng needs to help Mu Yan back to her room, I'm sorry but I can't send you off too far! Housekeeper Zhou! See the guests out! " After Xiao Jin Feng finished speaking, he first stepped out of the main hall while supporting Duan Mu Yan. Inside the main hall, Duan Xingyi's charming peach blossom eyes narrowed as his thin lips slowly curved into a smile.

In the dark, a pair of resentful eyes stared fixedly at Duan Mu Yan, who was being protected by Xiao Jin and Feng Feiyun. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists! Just when Su Jinxiu glanced back, she saw Duan Xingyi's gaze looking in her direction. Her heart couldn't help but be shocked, and she immediately retreated!

After passing through the archway of the main courtyard, Xiao Lingfeng let go of the girl in his arms without any warning. His ice-cold gaze watched Duan Mu Yan, who was about to fall! He spoke in a mocking tone!

"It looks like This King has truly underestimated you..." Duan Mu Yan! You can do it! Knowing that the First Prince is restricted to the Tyne Pavilion, he asked the Second Prince to give this king a hard time! Do you think This King is afraid just because of that?! " A naked question filled with extreme anger came out from Xiao Lingfeng's mouth!

"Your Highness thinks that … The Second Prince was invited over by Mu Yan? " Duan Mu Yan, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

"If it wasn't for you, why would he come to the Xiao Prince's manor?! Why do I have to see you so stubbornly before I'm willing to leave? How do you explain that! " Xiao Jingfeng's face was cold and handsome, and the anger between his brows was a clear sign of his current indignation!

Speechless, tears, they filled her eyes. At this moment, Duan Mu Yan really didn't know how to explain it. Or perhaps, no matter how much she explained, she wouldn't be able to convince Xiao Jin Feng! Since that was the case, why was she asking to be humiliated?!

Seeing Duan Mu Yan leaning weakly against the wall as she left, the fire in Xiao Jin Feng's heart grew stronger and stronger. Hence, he took big steps to stop her! He spoke harshly.

"You haven't answered This King!"

Duan Mu Yan raised her head and looked at Xiao Jin Feng with teary eyes. Even though she wanted to show an even stronger expression, the bitterness in her heart was growing stronger!

"Mu Yan has never asked for help from anyone, and would never ask for help from Duan Xingyi! That day at the wedding, even the Prince was present. If it wasn't for Duan Xingyi, how could Mu Yan have regretted it for the rest of her life?! Mu Yan dare to ask Your Highness, if it was you in his place, would you have gone and begged someone to let you miss your first meeting with your main wife?! " Tears silently rolled down her cheeks as Duan Mu Yan lifted her jade-like hand to ruthlessly wipe the moisture off her face. She then slowly walked around Xiao Jin Feng and headed in the direction of the woodshed!

"You … "Where are you going?!" Xiao Lingfeng's voice seemed to soften as he turned and looked straight at Duan Mu Yan!

"Firewood house …" Without much words or explanation, Duan Mu Yan used her actions to prove her innocence!

"Forget it!" Go back to your room! In case someone comes again, we'll be in a mess! " When he turned around, he suddenly paused!

"Letting you leave the woodshed does not mean that I will forgive you! From now on, I don't care what you do! However, there was one thing that you could not touch! Otherwise, even if the emperor himself has come, this king will not be afraid! " The cold voice lost its temperature once again!

Xiao Lingfeng walked away with large strides, yet he did not notice the faint smile on Duan Mu Yan's face! When had she cared about Xiao Jingfeng's understanding?

After leaving the Xiao family, Duan Xingyi had nothing better to do. He wandered around the streets for an hour before returning to the Imperial Palace. However, before he could even enter the Sage Storage Pavilion, someone rushed over like a tiger eyeing its prey!

"I thought my own brother was hooked away by a fox spirit! So you actually know how to come back! " Duan Zitong was so excited that even her voice had changed. The light in her eyes made him wish she could ruthlessly whip Duan Xingyi a few times!

"Sister Huang, what kind of anger are you getting? Don't be so angry that your body breaks down …" Duan Xingyi raised his brows as he looked at Duan Zitong. His thin lips slightly pursed into an arc!

"You still have the nerve to say that?! "Follow me in first!" Duan Zitong left Qing Lan to stand guard outside while she entered the Sage Storage Pavilion with Duan Xingyi!

Closing the door tightly, Duan Zitong abruptly turned around and glared at her younger brother!

"Duan Xingyi! What are you thinking?! I heard that not only were you unable to win over Xiao Jin Feng, you even managed to rescue Duan Mu Yan from the woodshed?! Is that true? " Duan Zitong went straight to the point. She had to get to the bottom of this today! She could not allow his little brother to do whatever he wanted, foiling his revenge!

"Big sister's news is really quick …" Duan Xingyi's eyes narrowed as they flickered with a bright light. His beautiful lips curled up slightly as he smiled charmingly at Duan Zitong Xie!

"I don't have the time to joke with you!" You'd better explain it to me! Otherwise, I have my own ways to make that slut disappear from this world immediately! " Duan Zitong's voice was ruthless as her eyes glinted with a sinister light!

"Elder sister, why are you so angry …" The reason my brother is doing this is naturally because he wants to help big sister! " Duan Xingyi lazily raised his gaze. Glistening light glimmered in his eyes as he swept his gaze across Duan Zitong. The surging killing intent in his eyes vanished in a flash!

"Help me?! "What do you mean?" Duan Zitong looked suspiciously at Duan Xingyi before slowly walking to the table and sitting down!

"Elder sister, think about it. If Duan Mu Yan were to spread his grievances to the palace, what would Xiao Jin Feng think?! That's right! Under the coercion of the Second Prince, he allowed Duan Moyan to leave the woodshed. However, the misunderstanding between them was only growing deeper! "Isn't this what big sister hopes for …" Duan Xingyi noticed that Duan Zitong's expression seemed to have relaxed, so he continued speaking!

"And sister, don't forget! Back then, I was the one who brought the imperial guards to supervise their wedding. Thinking about it, that Xiao Jingfeng must have hated me to the bones! "It's much easier to get rid of him than to win him over …" Hearing what Duan Xingyi said, Duan Zitong somewhat agreed with him!

"Since you have explained it this way, then elder sister has nothing to say!" However, you should have discussed this with sister first! " Although Duan Zitong complained, she was still her own brother, so she didn't pursue the matter!

"Alright now …" Whenever Xingyi ate, he would always report it to his sister! Don't be angry! Why don't we go to the Tutor Hall to see your jade Xuan? If elder sister gave him personal favors, he might even have a whole new level of respect for her! " Duan Xingyi lightly grasped Duan Zitong's shoulders as he spoke like a spoiled child!

"Aiya …" How old are you, and still acting like a spoiled child! Even before entering the palace, you weren't this lively! " Duan Zitong was both annoyed and amused. She lightly patted Duan Xingyi's hand and turned around to leave the Sage Storage Pavilion!

Looking at Duan Zitong's departing figure, Duan Xingyi restrained the smile on his face. His eyes that were originally as clear as water were now as if they had been covered in ice! In this world, anyone who dared to harm a woman he fancied would end up in a miserable state.

In the kitchen of the Xiao manor.

Qiu Yue happily carried the bowl of porridge that the kitchen manager, Li Ping, had personally made for his master. As he was walking out of the room, he bumped into Su Jin Jian!

"Screech ~ ~" Isn't this the autumn moon? " Su Jin's willow-shaped eyebrows raised slightly. Her eyes subconsciously looked at the bird's nest congee in Qiu Yue's hand! His heart flashed with a trace of coldness!

There was nothing to say. Autumn and the moon did not like Su Jin's embroidery, and with the addition of the woodshed incident, they kept their distance! The autumn moon that originally wanted to avoid Su Jin Xiu's embroidery was blocked by Su Jin Xiu at the door!

"Manager Li …" Where's the Prince's bird's nest porridge? " Su Jin Xiu raised her voice and asked as if she was asking something important. This question caused Li Ping to be stunned!

"Wh …" When did you want it? " Li Ping scratched his head. If he remembered correctly, the prince didn't want any bird's nest porridge at all! However, everyone in the mansion knew that Su Jin's position in the heart of the Qi King. If he offended her, he wouldn't be able to live a good life!

"Manager Li, the older you get, the more confused you become! Prince said his appetite wasn't good in the morning, so he asked me to prepare a bowl of bird's nest porridge in the kitchen … You haven't forgotten, have you? " Su Jin Xiu's voice became sharper. Her eyes seemed to glance at the bird's nest congee in Qiu Yue's hand!

"Ugh …" Yes... Yes … That Autumn Moon … I am truly embarrassed … I was wrong, the bowl in your hand was actually ordered by Qi King... "Esteemed wangfei, I forgot to make that bowl …" Li Ping naturally understood Su Jin Xiu's intention. Although he was a bit heartless, in order to protect his life, there was nothing he could do!

"How is this possible?!" You said just now that this was for the princess! It's changed now! Su Jin Xiu! Don't go too far! Does the Qi King really want the bird's nest porridge?! " When Qiu Yue saw Li Ping going up to take away the bird's nest porridge, she immediately shouted in anger!

"What are you saying?!" If you don't believe me, go and ask him yourself... "But don't forget, on that night, who was it that defied your highness's wishes …" Su Jin Xiu wanted to say something, but stopped. Qiu Yue was startled and the bird's nest congee in her hand was snatched away by Li Ping and handed over to Su Jin Xiu!
