"Yi'er, help you!" "Ugh …" "There is a saying that I don't know if I should say or not …" Duan Xingyi lifted his beautiful eyes and looked at Duan Chen! Since he was thinking of Duan Jingyang, this was a good opportunity! An opportunity to make Duan Chen trust him even more!

"Do father and son have to be so hesitant when talking to each other?" Duan Chen turned his gaze to look at Duan Xingyi. He truly liked this son of his from the bottom of his heart!

"Actually... His royal brother had already been imprisoned in the Pavilion of Subjugation for more than three months … Furthermore, they had caught a cold a while ago, so it was already a fact that the third sister was currently married into the Xiao family. No matter how unwilling her royal brother was, it was impossible for him to do anything excessive … So... Xingyi wanted to ask for a favor for his royal brother, how about … Let him be free. " A light flickered in Duan Xingyi's deep eyes as his thin lips curled up into a strange arc. Duan Chen might have had this intention long ago, but without this step, he would have fallen for it!

"Yi'er …" Is that what you meant? " Duan Chen turned around and looked straight at Duan Xingyi, and his eyes flickered with a strange light!

"Imperial Father is enlightened. This son truly feels that my royal brother has received the punishment he deserved and should be removed from his seclusion!" Duan Xingyi's gaze was firm as he spoke in a sonorous manner!

"You … Not hate him?! " Duan Chen stared fixedly at the Duan Xingyi before him. It was as if a string was slowly tightening in his heart!

"Then the grudges of the previous generation …" The string in Duan Chen's heart did not loosen as he continued asking!

"Father also said that it was a grudge between the previous generation and that it wasn't something that Xing Yi could control or stop. What Xing Yi can do, what he wants to do, he only wants to stay by Father's side to play chess with you, taste tea, and feel the love of a father that he hasn't tasted in a long time …" Duan Xingyi's emotions were genuine. Crystalline light flickered in his eyes as every word he said was like a warm stream that flowed into Duan Chen's heart!

"My good son …" "Good son!" Duan Chen was gratified as he extended his hand to grasp Duan Xingyi's shoulder. His eyes were filled with mist!

"Father …"

"As expected, you did not disappoint royal father! How great would it be if your royal sister thought the same … Cough cough … I heard that you went to the Xiao family a few days ago? " Duan Chen wanted to say something but hesitated, immediately changing the topic!

Even though Duan Chen only avoided the topic at hand, he was still seen by Duan Xingyi! There was no doubt that royal father knew what royal sister was doing, which was why he sighed so emotionally! Moreover, he seemed to know every word and action! As expected of the Emperor of the Badlands Empire, he truly has some skills!

"In reply to Imperial Father, this son just wants to pay a visit to the Third Emperor's elder sister and see if she is happy in the Xiao family …" As Duan Xingyi spoke, the image of Zhang Qingguo suddenly appeared in his mind. At the bottom of his heart, his heart throbbed with a faint but still unfathomable desire!

"It's rare for you to have this kind of intention! "Mu Yan, she …" Duan Chen wanted to say something, but he hesitated, and his expression turned gloomy. Back then, he was the one who forced his daughter into the fire pit. Now, wouldn't he feel guilty if he cared more about it?!

"The third sister is fine. Although she is a little less mature, I believe that she will get used to it in a short time. The king of the Qi Kingdom has taken good care of the third sister …" Duan Xingyi parted his thin lips, deep in thought!

"Mm …" Those who know my heart, Yi'er will also … "Zhen is truly tired. You should withdraw first …" Duan Chen lightly patted Duan Xingyi's shoulder before walking towards the bed!

"Then royal brother …" Duan Xingyi probed, only to see Duan Chen lightly waving his hand. Duan Xingyi tactfully withdrew from the Imperial Hall! The moment he turned around, his pair of pure peach blossom eyes became exceptionally dark!

After leaving the Imperial Hall, Duan Xingyi headed straight for the Phoenix Storage Pavilion! He originally thought that no matter how much trouble Duan Zitong caused, it wouldn't disrupt his plans. But now, it would seem that Duan Chen had yet to grow old and muddle-headed! He must have known that Duan Zitong had poisoned Duan Jingyang's medicine a long time ago!

Only Qing Lan was in the Phoenix Storage Pavilion sweeping. When she saw Duan Xingyi walk in, she immediately put down her brush to pay her respects!

"Your servant greets the Second Prince!"

"Forget it!" Where's royal sister?! " Duan Xingyi's gaze swept the surroundings, but he didn't see Duan Zitong, so he couldn't help but ask!

"Reporting to the second prince, the princess should be at the Tutor Hall by this time. If anything happens to the second prince, your servant will go report right away …" Just as Qing Lan was about to head towards the palace gate, she was stopped by Duan Xingyi!

"Forget it!" I'll go myself! " It had been a long time since he'd seen Xiao Yuxuan! He really did have some thoughts in mind! Duan Xingyi thought for a moment before turning around and walking away!

Tutor Manor.

Xiao Yuxuan sat cross-legged in his white dress, his slender jade-like fingers caressing the zither. His fingertips played and a wonderful music flowed out. Her hair was like silk, and without any wind, it moved by itself.

At the center of the main hall, Duan Zitong's graceful figure stood with a smile on her face. With her eyebrows raised low, her jade sleeves flowing with the wind, she held the colorful fan tightly in her hands, like a roaming dragon depicting the life of a Dan Qing. Her movements were graceful and graceful, like a butterfly dashing in the middle of a flower, as the sound of the zither gradually intensified.

Just when Duan Zitong's mind was fully focused on building a beautiful scene, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped. The entire hall became silent!

"Yuxuan?" Duan Zitong steadied her sleeves and looked suspiciously at the god-like man before him, only to see him staring at the door with a torch-like gaze. When she looked back, Duan Zitong was right in front of him, standing by the entrance to the palace with her hands folded behind her back!

"Xing Yi? "Why are you here?" Duan Zitong's voice was slightly low, obviously dissatisfied with Duan Xingyi interrupting his leisure!

"It's nothing. I just came to take a look. Earlier, Xingyi was praising you in front of royal father, saying that your improvement is increasing by the day. Now it seems like he wasn't lying after all …" It's been hard on you all this time! " Duan Xingyi lightly laughed as he heard this. As he leisurely walked into the hall, his devilish peach blossom eyes recovered their usual demonic charm!

"Yuxuan greets the Second Prince!" His voice was cold and without a trace of warmth, and he kowtowing was something he couldn't help but do. The moment he saw Duan Xingyi, Xiao Yuxuan truly wanted to take the bait and give him a punch!

"Forget it. The Imperial Tutor has been so diligent in teaching my royal sister. As his royal brother, I should be thanking you …" Duan Xingyi raised his thin lips in interest as his gaze shot straight at Xiao Yuxuan. His sword-like eyebrows were starry eyes, and he was incomparably handsome. This was the face that Duan Mu Yan liked, right?! It seemed like he wasn't bad either! As Duan Xingyi spoke, his jade-like fingers subconsciously brushed past his many cheeks!

"The Second Prince is too serious. This is a favor to the Emperor, and he has to bear the burden of the King. As the Emperor, Yuxuan will not dare to neglect this responsibility!" Xiao Yuxuan indifferently replied, and without avoiding Duan Xingyi's gaze, he faced him!

"Xingyi, you came to look for my royal sister? Or … royal father has an edict?! " At the side, Duan Zitong could clearly see the murderous intent in their eyes. She immediately changed the topic!

"No, it's just that there were some days when I didn't see my royal sister, so I came to take a look …" Duan Xingyi smiled seductively and shifted his gaze from Xiao Yuxuan to Duan Zitong!

"That's rare! I might as well return to the Phoenix Storage Pavilion and have my royal sister personally make tea for you! " As Duan Zitong spoke, he turned to Xiao Yuxuan.

"Yuxuan, then let's end it here today. It's been hard on you …"

Xiao Yuxuan bowed slightly, sending Duan Zitong and Duan Xingyi off with his eyes before getting up with an icy glare.

In the Phoenix Storage Pavilion, Duan Zitong closed the doors to the palace and ordered the Blue Orchid to wait outside. Then she walked over to the jade table and poured tea for herself!

"Could it be that there is something important?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to the Tutor Hall to find me. Was it about Duan Jingyang?! Have you made up your mind to deal with him?! " As Duan Zitong spoke, he didn't notice the disdain and ridicule in Duan Xingyi's eyes!

"Sister Huang is half right. It is indeed about Duan Jingyang!" However … When Xing Yi was drinking tea with royal father today, he had already requested for Royal Father's forgiveness. He hoped that he could remove Duan Jingyang's forbidden technique … " Duan Xingyi said indifferently. His pair of charming eyes met Duan Zitong's cold and incredulous gaze without any hesitation!

"You?! Are you crazy?! It was one thing if he didn't kill him! Why did you still release him?! " Duan Zitong frowned as she reprimanded! She couldn't figure out what her little brother was thinking at all!

"If you don't stop …" "I'm afraid that Duan Jingyang will really die in the Ting Lei Pavilion …." Duan Xingyi spoke with a carefree tone. His deep eyes glinted with a cold light!

"You … What are you talking about! "He's perfectly fine, how could he possibly die …" Duan Zitong's voice shook him, and his panicked gaze immediately avoided Duan Xingyi. He turned around, picked up the teapot, and poured two cups!

"I've already killed Li Jiancheng from the royal hospital!" Duan Xingyi strolled over to the table and sat down slowly. He lifted the teacup with his thin lips and took a light sip. The tea was fragrant, but it didn't have the same fragrance as the ambergris. It was more pleasurable and less murderous.

"You … How did you know?! " Duan Zitong's eyes widened as she looked at Duan Xingyi in disbelief! She thought that he had done this matter flawlessly, but he never expected that Duan Xingyi would know about it like the back of his hand!

Not only me, even my royal father knows about this. Although he didn't say it out loud, he must have been disappointed with my royal sister. My royal sister, I have already warned you!" Don't act recklessly! This is the Great Mo Imperial Palace, you have your own eyes and ears, royal father doesn't have them too! You are royal father's daughter, so is that Jingyang not royal father's son?! If you really kill Duan Jingyang in the Ting Lei Pavilion, do you think our royal father will forgive you?! " Duan Xingyi retorted coldly. His gaze was as cold as ice. If he'd known earlier, this Duan Zitong would have gotten in his way.

"Father... royal father knows about it too?! How is this possible?! " Even now, Duan Zitong still didn't believe that her plan was known by almost everyone!

"Impossible?!" There was no wall in this world that did not let the wind pass through! Don't talk about me and royal father! Perhaps even Xiao Yuxuan knew of this! And there was also Duan Jingyang himself. If he really drank the cold medicine that his royal sister had meticulously prepared for him every day, he would have died a long time ago! Why are you still safe and sound in the Ting Lei Pavilion?! " Duan Xingyi's every word was like a sharp blade that pierced Duan Zitong's heart. The plan that he originally thought was flawless was something that was known by almost everyone!

"How could this be …" "Then father, he …" Duan Zitong's face was deathly pale and his eyes flickered with indecision. Just as Duan Xingyi had said, no matter how weak Duan Jingyang was, he was still the biological son of his Imperial Father. The crime of murdering a prince was not a joke!

"Don't worry, royal sister!" Even though royal father knew about it, in the end, it did not turn into a tragedy, so he turned a blind eye! Otherwise, why do you think the royal brother begged the Emperor to let Duan Jingyang go?! " Duan Xingyi's thin lips slightly curled up. His quiet voice contained a hidden sense of ridicule!
