"This journey is too bumpy …" His head felt a bit dizzy. "Tutor, you don't mind supporting me for a bit, do you …" Duan Zitong's voice was soft, and his charming eyes were like silk. From time to time, his alluring figure would move towards Xiao Yuxuan!
Although he did not deliberately observe, just a casual glance was enough to cause a peculiar emotion to flash through the depths of Xiao Jin Feng's heart. He saw that his ashen-faced face was as pale as paper, his clear eyes were dull, and his steps appeared to be somewhat messy. Following Duan Mu Yan's line of sight, Xiao Jin Feng saw Duan Ling Tian tightly grip his younger brother's wrist!
"Pay attention to your own identity! Such a gaze was easy to misunderstand! This King does not want Shi Rou to die in a meaningless manner! " The low Ge's voice was bone-chilling cold, Xiao Jin Feng warned. Back then, if it wasn't for Shi Rou protecting the entire Xiao manor, why would she let him take her concubine? If she didn't marry Duan Mu Yan, how could Shi Rou die?! She definitely had to defend the Xiao family that Shi Rou had saved with her life!
Speechless, Duan Mu Yan retracted her gaze. No one knew how much pain she was feeling, and no one cared! At this moment, Duan Mu Yan swallowed all of her grievances and grievances down her throat. She was well aware of the reason why Duan Zitong and Yu Xuan had returned together! Yes … For this wedding, two people had already died! Enough! It was enough!
In the main hall, Duan Zitong sat firmly on her seat as her gaze roamed between Xiao Yuxuan and Duan Mu Yan from time to time!
"Mm …" This tea is not bad! Third royal sister … Why did you say so little when you married into the Xiao family? Or do you not like to care about this royal sister of yours? If you had anything to say before, please don't take it to heart! Unlike the third emperor's elder sister, the catalpa tree was born in the imperial palace. It walked and sat, and its words and mannerisms were imparted by the world's greatest teacher … "In comparison, the catalpa is indeed a bit crude …" Duan Zitong's cherry lips slightly pursed as she casually picked up the teacup in her hand. Her feminine eyes had an unfathomable glimmer as she looked at Duan Mu Yan!
"Royal sister, you think too much of Mu Yan … "It does not have this intention …" Duan Mu Yan looked up in surprise. She never expected Duan Zitong to be so respectful. The difference between her attitude now and when she was in the Imperial Garden was like the difference between heaven and earth! However, Duan Mu Yan was clear that this transformation was just an illusion!
"Since that's the case, then I'd like to presume to ask my royal sister to take me on a tour around the Xiao manor. It's been a long time since we last met. Prince Qi and Yuxuan should have a lot of things to say …" As he spoke, he slowly rose to his feet! She didn't even give Duan Mu Yan the chance to reject her offer! In fact, she had no reason to refuse!
"Alright …" Even though she was unwilling, Duan Mu Yan had no other choice!
As she watched Duan Mu Yan's figure gracefully leave, a trace of reluctance flashed through Xiao Yu Xuan's clear eyes! Ever since they had first met, his heart had no longer been at peace! He wanted to bring Mu Yan away! This was his only goal!
"I haven't been able to wake you up in a month?!" An ice-cold voice came out of Xiao Lingfeng's mouth without any warmth! Seeing Xiao Yuxuan's reluctance to part with Duan Moyan, Xiao Jingfeng's chest felt like it was being stuffed with cotton. He felt extremely stifled!
"One month... Brother Wang, have you forgotten about Chu Shirou?! " Xiao Yuxuan responded indifferently, his brows creased with frost!
"That's different! I and Shi Rou have been husband and wife for seven years! " Xiao Jin Feng smacked the table as he stood up, glaring angrily at Xiao Yu Xuan!
"Seven lifetimes... Heh … Three years less! Brother Wang, you should know that ever since we were young, our relationship would never be any less than that of your relationship with Sister Wang! " Xiao Yuxuan's hands clenched into fists. When they had first met when they entered the palace gates, Xiao Yuxuan's heart had already been pierced like a needle. It had only been a month but Mu Yan had already become so haggard! He didn't dare to imagine what kind of grievance and humiliation she had suffered in this manor!
"So what?!" Can you compete with the heavens?! Can you change the fact that she is your wife now? You can keep this from happening! Let Shi Rou come back to life?! Xiao Yuxuan! Don't think I didn't see the purpose of your return! In order to protect the Xiao family, Shi Rou had already sacrificed her life! I will absolutely not let anyone else destroy the Xiao Prince's manor! You'd better wake up! " Xiao Jingfeng's eyes were filled with a cold light, and there was absolutely no room for retaliation in his words!
"Protect the Xiao Palace?! What if Chu Shirou didn't die?! Would Brother Wang still speak with such righteousness? Who was it that rejected the imperial edict that day? At that time, why didn't Brother Wang think of protecting the Xiao family?! " Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together. His handsome face was like a sheet of ice!
"That's because Shi Rou isn't dead yet!" Xiao Jin Feng almost roared in anger.
The atmosphere in the main hall was exceptionally cold. Xiao Yuxuan choked and looked at his royal brother in disappointment.
"Yeah …" Was it because Chu Shirou had died that Brother Wang wanted to take revenge on Mu Yan?! Do you want us to suffer together with you if you're not happy?! Brother Wang … This is your goal! Is that right? " Xiao Yuxuan looked at his brother in disbelief. At one point in time, their relationship had been as good as a person's!
"You! No matter what you say, don't even think of bringing Duan Mu Yan away! She is already your royal sister-in-law! No one could change this fact! What's more, Seventh Princess is going with you! Do you really want Royal Father and the entire Xiao Palace to fall into an irreparable trap because of your selfishness?! " When Xiao Jin Feng saw that Xiao Yu Xuan wanted to leave the main hall, he immediately stood in front of him!
"Xiao Jingfeng! I can tell you clearly! If Mu Yan is willing, even if the sky is to collapse, I will bring her away! " Xiao Yuxuan resolutely said, each word sonorous! As he spoke, he forcefully pushed away Xiao Jingfeng who was standing in front of him!
The moment the door was opened, Xiao Jingfeng suddenly turned around!
"And if she doesn't?" Although his voice was low, it still caused a hissing sound in Xiao Yu Xuan's ears! Yes … Would Mu Yan leave with him?! Everything that had just happened was already the best proof! She didn't even look at him!
Speechless, Xiao Yuxuan paused for a moment before heading to the back garden of the Xiao family.
In the huge palace garden, colorful butterflies flaunted their beautiful wings as they danced in the luxuriant purple, chasing like butterflies falling from the sky, flying in the middle of the myriad of green flowers, dancing gracefully and gracefully! The wind swept past the pond and created ripples. It was accompanied by a moist smell that rushed into his nose!
"Although the scenery of this palace is not comparable to the imperial garden, there is still a certain charm to it. No wonder Yuxuan could produce such an elegant melody, 'Butterfly love flower'. A butterfly is a flower, yet the flower flies with the wind. The flower blossoms to thank the person, and the flower blossoms to thank that person …" Duan Zitong stopped among the flowers, her jade-like hands subconsciously stroking the peony in front of her. The cold glint of her eyes disappeared in a flash!
Her heart violently convulsed as that incomparably handsome silhouette appeared in her mind!
"What a beautiful tune …" Duan Muyan's gaze was filled with tenderness as she looked at the only man she had ever recognized!
"Mu Yan... This is something I've specially made for you, named 'Butterfly's Love Flower'. This song belongs solely to you! "In this world, Yu Xuan only played for you …" Xiao Yuxuan played with the flute in her hands affectionately as the melodious sound of the flute rang out. Duan Mu Yan closed her eyes slightly, immersing herself in the beautiful dreams woven by the flute's melody.
"Sad?!" I know! You will never forget Yuxuan! But let me remind you, don't forget your status! Furthermore … And don't forget about that cripple in the palace who was imprisoned! Duan Mu Yan … I might as well tell you! I like Yuxuan! From the first time we met, I liked him! This man is destined to be mine! Even though he still has you in his heart right now, I have the confidence that one day, he will completely fall in love with me! So you'd better not dream of running away with him! Because even if you go to the ends of the earth, I still have a way to bring you all back! " At this moment, there was no longer any need for Duan Zitong to put on an act. Her charming and beautiful face was instantly revealed!
"It has nothing to do with me whether you love or not... But you can't hurt my brother! "Even though mufei has passed away, I still have to explain for mufei. Back then, mufei only begged the emperor's grandma to let Qin Yu Die live, she didn't tell anyone at all …"
'Pa... ' Before Duan Mu Yan could finish her sentence, a clear and crisp sound rang out. In the next second, Duan Mu Yan tightly clutched her left cheek as she glared furiously at Duan Zitong!
"You!"
"Who allowed you to call me mufei by her full name?! You deserve it! Duan Mu Yan! I tell you! Even though that bitch Ling Ziyan was already dead! But our revenge is not over yet! " Duan Zitong's gaze turned cold and sinister. When her gaze landed on the two people who were running over, a smile curled the corner of his mouth!
"You're not allowed to insult my mufei!" Duan Mu Yan's eyes were filled with tears as she clenched her jade-like hands into fists! She could endure more grievances, but she could not allow her mother to be insulted in the slightest.
"So what if you scolded?! She died too early, or else! Do you believe that I will get royal father to send her into the cold palace?! And also cripple you siblings! She was going to see her own sons and daughters as servants! Let her live a life worse than death! The pain was excruciating! "Haha …" Duan Zitong enunciated every word, seeming to come from the depths of hell itself. Her voice was like a sharp blade that stabbed at the weakest spot on Duan Mu Yan's heart!
The grievances and unwillingness that she had accumulated for so long broke through the last line of defense in her heart like a raging flood, and at this moment, all of her anger surged to the center of her palm.
It was just that … With a 'plop', Duan Zitong, who could have avoided the palm strike, fell into the pond. She had lost her balance!
"Ah …" At the moment he fell to the ground, Duan Zitong's icy cold eyes stared fiercely at the astonished face of Duan Mu Yan. The corners of his lips slowly curved upwards.
"Seventh Princess!" The clear and cold voice was filled with astonishment! Xiao Jingfeng jumped into the pond without a second word! One had to know that this was the Xiao manor. If there was any accident with the princess here, under the fury of the emperor, it was even possible for him to rob the family!
Just as Xiao Jin Feng jumped down, Xiao Yu Xuan arrived beside Duan Mu Yan!
"Mu Yan... Don't be afraid... "It's nothing, it's nothing …" Even though she didn't know what had happened, Xiao Yuxuan could feel her helplessness and fear from the look of astonishment on Duan Mu Yan's face!
"Jade Xuan …" I... I didn't mean to... "It's her …" Duan Moyan looked at her slightly red palm in fear as tears rolled down her cheeks! Why?! Why did he have to force her!?
"Mu Yan... No matter what others thought! I believe you! Let's go... Get Out of here... Leave the Badlands! Good?! "Follow me!" Seeing the mottled tears in Duan Mu Yan's eyes, Xiao Yu Xuan could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart!
"Let's go …" As Duan Mu Yan was in a trance, Xiao Jin Feng leaped out of the water and carried the unconscious Duan Ling Tian in his embrace!
