"Fortunately... Not bad … It seems that this time, royal sister has to thank you! " Duan Zitong exhaled a breath of cold air and slowly sat down. However, there was still some lingering fear in her heart!

"Do you and I need to thank …" Sister, don't worry. Duan Jingyang should die, but not now! Everything was under the control of the Star Path! In the future, royal sister doesn't need to worry about Xing Yi with regards to the throne. On the other hand, Xiao Yuxuan, if royal sister really were to spend some effort, you know! " Duan Xingyi curved his thin lips into a smile that was not a smile, his eyes rippling with light!

"Forget it, this time, Imperial Sis has really helped. Since you already know in your heart, then Imperial Sis will not interfere in your matters in the future!" As for Xiao Yuxuan … Rest assured, I have got him in my pocket, and no one can change that fact! " When he mentioned Xiao Yuxuan, the strong possessiveness that shot out from the depths of Duan Zitong's eyes made him not believe it. Women were jealous, but it wouldn't be a big deal!

Just as Duan Xingyi predicted, the next day, Duan Chen ordered his son to be exempted from the punishment of Duan Jingyang's secret ban! But he was not allowed to take even half a step outside of the palace!

In the pavilion.

"First Prince, accept the decree …" After Elder Li read out the imperial edict, he put his hands together and respectfully placed the imperial edict on his palms. He then handed it to Duan Jingyang!

On the ground, Duan Jingyang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists until his joints turned white. The moment he heard the imperial edict, he felt a stifling feeling in his chest, a chill that pierced into the depths of his heart! If he didn't leave the palace, how would he be able to see his sister? What was the difference between this and a forbidden technique!?

Eunuch Li's eyes dimmed when he saw Duan Jingyang silently kneeling on the ground. He inwardly exhaled a long breath.

"First Prince, don't hesitate! "Being able to move about freely in the palace is better than being locked up in the Tyne Pavilion …" Eunuch Li spoke sincerely as he took a few steps forward and placed the imperial edict right under Duan Jingyang's nose!

"This son …" "I accept the decree of gratitude …" It was just a few words, but it seemed to have used up all of Duan Jingyang's strength! Just as Duan Jingyang took the imperial edict and slowly rose up, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out from the entrance!

"Xing Yi congratulates royal brother for regaining your freedom …" Duan Xingyi wore a purple robe and his charming peach blossom eyes flickered with bright and resplendent splendor. His thin lips lightly opened as he slowly stepped into the pavilion!

"This old servant greets the Second Prince …" "Since the First Prince has accepted the imperial edict, then this old servant will take his leave …" When Eunuch Li saw Duan Xingyi walk in, he turned around, bowed respectfully, and left the pavilion!

After Eunuch Li left, the air of the entire Ting Ting Pavilion seemed to have solidified. Duan Jingyang held the imperial edict in his hand as he glanced disdainfully at Duan Xingyi!

"You are not welcome here!" The cold voice contained a great deal of anger. Duan Jingyang clearly remembered the day of his sister's wedding! If it wasn't for Duan Xingyi interfering, perhaps his own sister wouldn't have to suffer in Duke Xiao Palace!

"Tsk tsk …" Royal brother, why do you look as if you don't want to get in the way of others! It must be known that if it wasn't for Xingyi's beautiful words in front of royal father, Royal Brother's imperial decree would probably have to wait a long time … " Duan Xingyi slightly raised his sword-like brows as his clear eyes met Duan Jingyang's disdainful gaze. His pretty lips slightly curled upwards, but there was no lack of provocation in his gaze!

"You! "What did you say?!" The moment he received the imperial edict, although Duan Jingyang was disappointed and heartbroken, a trace of warmth still flashed through the depths of his heart. At the very least, his father still remembered that he had such a son in his heart! But now, Duan Jingyang felt as if his entire body was submerged in a cold pond. His heart was finally unable to withstand the desolation and deep despair that seeped into his bones!

"It's fine if you don't mention it, but I don't want you to remember this favor!" She had returned the favor … "There's someone else …" Duan Xingyi's delicate eyes narrowed slightly. He was suddenly a little impatient to see what kind of expression Duan Mu Yan would have when she found out about this news!

"What do you mean?!" Duan Jingyang looked at Duan Xingyi with vigilance. For some reason, he felt that this person was emitting an indescribable baleful aura the moment he laid eyes on Duan Xingyi! It was as if the Yama of hell was about to destroy everything!

"My meaning is …" Just as Duan Xingyi was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Duan Xingyi pursed his lips and smiled, then walked to the door and met Xiao Yuxuan's gaze!

The god-like general and the Hades of Hell, the clash of ice and fire was bound to cause a tidal wave! The two of them looked at each other for a moment before Xiao Yuxuan bowed slightly!

"Yuxuan greets the second prince …" Xiao Yuxuan's pure and clear voice was calm as he cupped his hands and made a path for him! Duan Xingyi lazily raised his eyes and his gloomy gaze landed on Xiao Yuxuan. The curve of his lips slowly deepened as he turned around and left, leaving behind only a wave of inexplicable laughter.

Looking at the violet-robed background, Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together. He felt as if that figure was concealing some unknown story. Duan Xingyi was far too mysterious; it was so mysterious that it made him feel uneasy!

Without giving it much thought, Xiao Yuxuan withdrew his gaze and strode into the pavilion!

"Jing Yang!" Are you okay?! I heard that the Emperor has ordered for you to be free! " Xiao Yuxuan's eyes were bright as he excitedly spoke!

"Heh …" Freedom?! It was just a bigger cage! Yu Xuan, did you know?! Even if it's this big cage! It was actually Duan Xingyi who gave it to me in front of my royal father! Why?! In royal father's eyes, what exactly am I?! " Duan Jingyang's body trembled from his anger. His hands that were holding the imperial edict were itching to shatter the 'humiliation' in his hands! In the next second, his anger reached its peak. Duan Jingyang abruptly swung his hand and ruthlessly threw the imperial edict onto the ground!

When Xiao Yuxuan saw this, he immediately turned around and closed the door. He quickly picked up the imperial edict and walked over to Duan Jingyang's side.

"Jing Yang …" Don't be like that, we have to remain calm. Don't forget, Mu Yan's grievances and grievances are many times more than us, so for her sake, we have to endure as well! " Xiao Yuxuan's clear eyes flickered as he resolutely spoke! With Duan Jingyang's current state of mind, he could empathize with him!

Endure? What was the use of enduring it? Tell me, Yu Xuan! What was the use of enduring it? royal father doesn't even have a son like me in his eyes! The only reason why he gave this decree was to let Duan Xingyi establish a reputation in front of all the officials! Royal Father simply wanted to pass the position of Crown Prince to Duan Xingyi! I'm just a tool! If Duan Xingyi gains power, do you think I can still live?! Haha … "Hahaha …" An arrogant laughter came from Duan Jingyang's mouth, but when he heard it, he felt a sharp pain!

"Jing Yang …" Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together. A sorrowful light flashed in his deep eyes. At this very moment, he actually didn't know what to say to comfort Duan Jingyang because of the truth … That seemed to be the case.

"Jade Xuan …" If... What do I need... You must bring Mu Yan away from here! The farther you go, the better... "Duan Xingyi and Duan Zitong will definitely not let Mu Yan off …" Duan Jingyang suddenly stopped laughing. His face was solemn as he gripped Xiao Yuxuan's shoulders tightly. Each word was firm and clear!

"Jing Yang!" Don't worry, no matter who it is, don't even think about harming you and Mu Yan! Actually... It's not like there was no turning point, you forget! During the time that you caught the cold, there were clearly people who wanted to kill you! If not for your alertness, I'm afraid you would have already lost your life! Rather than sitting still and waiting for death, it was better to take the initiative! If the truth were to be revealed to the world, even if the Emperor were to cover it up, it would be hard to cover it up! " Xiao Yuxuan's voice was light and low, but it contained an unusually resolute determination!

"You … "What do you mean …" Duan Jingyang's eyes flickered with a trace of fear. His hand slowly slipped off Xiao Yuxuan's shoulder and he lowered his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to Xiao Yuxuan's suggestion!

"Jing Yang, don't tell me you don't want to do something for yourself?!" Don't want to do anything for Mu Yan?! And the late Pear Consort! You should know what her greatest wish is! Jing Yang... Escape would not solve any problems! It might even put you and Mu Yan in an even more dangerous situation! " Xiao Yuxuan's words had cleared Duan Jingyang's mind! That's right! He had been in chaos for so many years, and from a young age, his goal in every single matter was to obtain royal father's praise. Even if royal father gave him a glance, it would make him happy for a good half a day! All these years, he had lived only for royal father!

But only now did he finally understand that in the heart of royal father, he was the only son! No matter how hard he tried and how well he did, it would not change anything in exchange for his royal father! If that was the case, then Duan Jingyang really should live for him! Live for your sister once!

"Yu Xuan!" "Help me!" Duan Jingyang suddenly turned around with a determined look in his eyes. His brows were once again shining with brilliance! From this moment onwards, he, Duan Jingyang, would be reborn! He was fighting against the Heavens, fighting against fate!

Speechless, Xiao Yuxuan nodded in satisfaction. Her clear eyes were shining brightly! That was what he had been waiting for!

Sage Storage Pavilion.

Duan Xingyi was just about to leave in large strides when he met Duan Zitong who had walked in!

"Xingyi, your casual attire … Are they leaving the palace? " He was dressed in deep purple and had an emerald dragon pendant at his waist. His long hair was tied up in a purple ribbon and fell down to his waist like a waterfall. He casually stood there, and with the slight curve of his lips, he looked extremely charming and alluring! This kind of man could really make all women fall for him without any regrets!

Sometimes, Duan Zitong would be curious about someone like her younger brother, whose beauty seemed to carry a demonic charm. What kind of girl would be able to wake up to be her sister-in-law?!

"Of course we have to leave the palace. Otherwise, if we change out of this outfit, why would we pretend? Did Imperial Sis come to find Xingyi for some reason?" Duan Xingyi slightly raised his good-looking eyebrows and returned to the main hall. Duan Zitong followed him in!

"Don't let this royal sister guess that you're going to the Xiao family!" Duan Zitong spoke bitterly as she cast a sidelong glance at her younger brother!

"That's hard to say. I might be passing by, so I might as well go in and take a look …" Duan Xingyi disapproved and his fingers subconsciously played with the dragon pendant on his waist. This had already become a normal action of Duan Xingyi!

"Xingyi, earlier, big sister promised you that she would not interfere in Jingyang's matters. This time, big sister wants you to agree that you will not interfere in Mu Yan's matters! You just need to focus all your attention on Duan Jingyang! As for Duan Mu Yan, elder sister will naturally make arrangements! " Su Jin Xiu had only reported to him two days ago that Duan Mu Yan had been caned in her residence. She didn't want her younger brother to stand up for her again at this time! Whatever the purpose!

"Since big sister has asked, then Xingyi might as well just say so. Duan Mu Yan is still of use to me!" I don't care what my sister does to her! However, there was one thing. He had to spare her life! This life … It is extremely important to whether or not I can ascend to the throne! " Duan Xingyi's handsome face had a rare coldness and his clear voice was filled with an icy coldness that could not be refused!

Why did you have to leave her alive? Elder sister never thought of letting her die so happily. Only living is better than dying, only then will I feel the joy of revenge! However … Stars... Was her life really that important?! You'd better not let your sister see what you think of her, if I find out you're in love with her... Even if I don't enjoy the joy of revenge, I will make her die a graveless death! the same as Ling Ziyan! " Duan Zitong seemed to not have felt the warning in Duan Xingyi's eyes as she coldly replied!
