"Royal sister, don't worry. One day, Xingyi will personally prove to you just how important Duan Mu Yan's life is …" It's getting late … It's about time for Xing Yi to leave, otherwise, he might not be able to make it back in time for the palace ban! " Duan Xingyi pursed his lips as he lightly shook off the dragon pendant in his hand with his slender jade-like fingers. He then got up and left the Sage Storage Pavilion!

Looking at Duan Xingyi's departing figure, Duan Zitong's brows furrowed and her gentle eyes narrowed. She wanted to see exactly why her little brother had left the palace! After pondering for a moment, Duan Zitong also stood up and left the Sage Storage Pavilion. However, she didn't notice that the chair Duan Xingyi made earlier had already sunk to the ground.

Spring Festival Courtyard. It was a magnificent building. It was exuding a strong smell of makeup. The top three floors were carved out of jade. The glazed tiles on the four corners of the eaves were sparkling, appearing exceptionally dazzling! Especially the big words' Spring Festival '. It was even made of pure gold, and under the sunlight, it formed a golden halo!

At the massive main entrance, two gorgeous women were doing their best to recruit guests. Their clothes were thin, and their graceful bodies twisted like water snakes. With just a glance, these men couldn't help but change their direction! On the jade railings of the second and third floors, there were also beautiful women that were like flowers. They waved the square handkerchief in their hands, and from time to time, they would throw it onto the head of a man who had fallen in love with them.

At this moment, when the man dressed in deep purple appeared at the main entrance, almost all the girls stopped playing around with him. Dozens of eyes, without exception, landed on Duan Xingyi's body.

"This young master …" Are you here to look for Little Red? " The so-called 'near water tower' was first to arrive at the moon. The woman standing in front of the main entrance crazily wiggled her water snake waist, swaying it to Duan Xingyi's side. She fiercely straightened and coincidentally rubbed against Duan Xingyi's left arm.

"Cough …" May I ask who Little Red is? " Duan Xingyi's thin lips slightly pursed as he chuckled. His beautiful fingers slowly hooked onto the girl's lower jaw as he gently asked!

"Reporting to young master, this one is Xiao Hong …" The woman named Xiao Hong suddenly felt inferior. When her skin came into contact with his skin, she even felt that Duan Xingyi's fingers were as delicate as a baby's snow-white skin. In comparison, her own face was slightly rough!

"I'm sorry about this, I'm looking for the number one player here, Leng Bing Xin …" Duan Xingyi's slender jade-like fingers slowly slid down from Little Red's chin to the lowest part of her collar. After spinning a few times, he immediately withdrew his jade-like fingers and walked towards the main entrance! Little Red seemed to be intoxicated by the sensation from earlier. It couldn't hear who Duan Xingyi was looking for.

"Oh, where did this handsome young master come from?!" This is your first time here, do you have a girl you like? Or you can let all the girls come out and choose on your own?! " Dressed in heavy makeup, the old procuress greeted him with a flick of her hips. The Spring Garden had been open for 30 years, but there had never been a handsome man who could topple the world! At this moment, the old procuress wished that she could return 30 years later, perhaps she would have the chance to enter the young master's eyes!

The Imperial Palace's Phoenix Storage Pavilion.

Qing Lan respectfully stood by Duan Zitong's side.

"Reporting to Master, this servant will follow the Second Prince until …" Qing Lan was silent. She didn't know how to describe the place Duan Xingyun had gone to!

"Xiao Duke Palace?! "He really went …" Noticing that Duan Zitong was infuriated, Qing Lan hurriedly opened her mouth to explain!

"Reporting to Master, it isn't Duke Xiao Palace, it's … It's the Spring Festival! " Hearing these words, Duan Zitong was shocked as she looked at Qing Lan with disbelief!

"What did you say?!" Spring Festival?! "Isn't that …" Duan Zitong stood up with a start. She was about to get angry, but his anger dissipated before it could reach its peak. It wasn't bad for the Yichun Courtyard. Was her little brother a man as well?! Furthermore, this result made her feel much more at ease than she had expected! As long as it wasn't the Xiao family, how would it matter!

"You saw him go in with your own eyes?" Duan Zitong sat down slowly with an indifferent expression!

"Reporting to master, this servant saw it with her own eyes. This servant was still in the dark for an hour, and seeing that the second prince had not come out, I returned to report …" Qinglan spoke the truth, but her master's attitude surprised her!

"Forget it …" Maybe I was thinking too much! Xing Yi wasn't little either. Since he had the heart to love beauty, he would just let him be … When I see royal father one day, I should also mention the matter of choosing a concubine! "If I can get him to have a beautiful lady he likes, it would save him the effort of going out …" In her heart, these weren't the most important things. The most important thing was how to capture Xiao Yuxuan's heart, and how to make Duan Mu Yan wish she were dead!

At the cemetery in the eastern suburbs.

"Master Four, we've done it!" A tall and sturdy man dressed in plain clothes respectfully walked to Duan Xingyi's side and pointed at the coffin carried by four people not far away.

"Are you sure it's Fei Li's corpse?!" At the bottom of his heart, he scoffed at his own royal father. As a Sovereign King, he was actually so petty. If Duan Chen had had countless achievements in his life, then the matter regarding Riko Fei would be a stain on his life!

"Reporting to Fourth Master, it can't be wrong! When the people at the palace threw Pear Blossom over, your subordinate was in the dark! " The man said confidently!

"Mm …" Well done, send some people to sit up in the main hall and give them good food! Remember, if you don't know anything, don't even think about it! " Duan Xingyi spoke faintly, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowing with an unfathomable radiance!

"Yes sir!" The man did not ask, just like Leng Bing Xin, he never doubted his master's orders!

"Ye Li …" Duan Xingyi suddenly seemed to have thought of something and called back Ye Li who was about to leave!

"Master Four, do you have any other orders?" The person named Ye Li suddenly turned around and respectfully spoke!

"Go visit Bing-Er when you're free. If you're not familiar with her, I'm afraid something might happen to her!" Towards Leng Bingxin, he always had an extra bit of pity and concern. Duan Xingyi was very clear that this had nothing to do with love. It was just that the scene that happened that year was too miserable for a woman.

"Yes sir!" Upon hearing this, Ye Li accepted the order. With a glint in his eyes, he turned around and left.

The setting sun gradually sank as the new moon quietly rose. The vast sky gradually dimmed as the first rays of the moon illuminated the land with a hazy glow. It was like a dream or illusion, and the land was completely silent!

Moonlight shone through the window frame onto the figure lying on the soft couch. At the edge of the bed, Qiu Yue sobbed softly, her small hand lightly dipped in the ointment as it smeared on Duan Mu Yan's back, which was covered in cuts and bruises! Even though it had been two days, Duan Mu Yan's wound still hadn't healed!

"Ugh …" At this moment, Duan Mu Yan only felt a burning pain coming from her back. Intense pain filled her internal organs, and not a single part of her body was able to escape the fate of death. Although the pain was heart-wrenching, Duan Mu Yan stubbornly refused to cry out!

"Royal Consort … Woo woo … * How could the prince be so heartless … Royal Consort … Sorry... It was all because of Yue Er … "If it wasn't for Yue Er carrying that rabbit back, none of this would have happened …" Qiu Yue's voice was choked with sobs. Although there were injuries on her back as well, it was much lighter compared to Duan Mu Yan's!

"Yue Er …" None of your business... "It's just a flesh wound, it'll heal in a few days …" Feeling the ointment on the autumn moon, Duan Mu Yan struggled to get up. Her clear eyes looked at Qiu Yue with a trace of gentleness as she forced a smile!

"Royal Consort … "Sorry …" Seeing that devastatingly pale face, with the corners of her dry lips bleeding, Qiu Yue's nose turned sour, and her tears welled up like a fountain! She swore that she would return the innocence of the wangfei and herself! Cui Xin and Feng Xue were clearly lying, and there definitely wouldn't be any medicine used to cover their perspiration in the wangfei's room! She even guessed who was behind this!

"Don't cry... Not good for the wound... Yue Er … I have wronged you. If you hadn't followed me, you might not have suffered so much … "How about I tell Housekeeper Zhou …" His gentle voice contained a great amount of remorse. As he spoke, Duan Mu Yan gently caressed Qiu Yue's small face and wiped away the sparkling light on her face. No one knew that his simple action had caused Duan Mu Yan to experience an unimaginable amount of pain!

No!" Yue Er wants to follow the wangfei … Yue Er will only acknowledge you as her master in this life! Even if I die, Yue Er will still stand in front of the wangfei! " Qiu Yue tightly gripped Duan Mu Yan's jade-like hand. Her voice was sonorous and powerful, but her gaze was exceptionally resolute!

"Ugh …" Suddenly, the pain in her back increased as Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but softly moan. When Qiu Yue heard her voice, she immediately released her hand and looked at her master with a pained gaze!

"Royal Consort … "I …"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine …" Yue Er … Thank You... Fortunately, I have you with me at the Xiao manor … It's getting late … "You should go back and rest as well …" Duan Moyan forcefully endured the pain as she opened her cherry lips and looked warmly at Qiu Yue! She knew that in the vast Xiao Duke Palace, only Qiu Yue treated her sincerely. The rest … She was no different from the servant girl in the palace. It was as if she was the god of plague and couldn't wait to escape!

After Qiu Yue left, Duan Mu Yan's gaze dimmed as she quietly climbed onto the bed. Her mind was filled with the grieving gaze of her mother's consort!

"Not falsely accused … Mufei … Sorry... Mu Yan was unable to do so … No matter how Mu Yan explained it … He wouldn't even believe it … Mufei … Where are you... Mu Yan missed you so much … "I really want to …" Tears silently rolled down her face before falling to the ground and breaking into pieces of glazed glass. Deep into the night, tears flowed down her face as if they were the tears of a small beast. Only at this moment did she dare to cry … Only then did she dare to reveal her weakness to the cold air of a room, to pour out her bitterness.

The light within was like a sharp blade that made people shudder in fear. Through the window, Duan Xingyi could clearly see the stars on the back of the woman sitting on the bed, her heart, her heart, inexplicable panic, inexplicable confusion, and inexplicable anger! For a moment, he even wanted to charge in and take that woman away! However, it was only for a short period of time, and the surging waves had already died down! This... It was something he wanted to see.

Night slowly faded in silence. Early in the morning, the first rays of sunlight appeared in the sky. The autumn wind blew gently, and the willow branches swayed in the wind. It was a scene of autumn's depression.

Steward Zhou was wearing a plain robe and walking out of the mansion with his eyes closed. Just as he was turning the corner, he bumped into something strange!

"Ugh …" Wang … "Your Highness?!" "Why are you here?!" Steward Zhou raised his eyes and saw Xiao Lingfeng standing in front of him with a solemn expression!

"Walking... Where are you going?! " There was no trace of joy or anger in the clear voice, and Xiao Jin Feng's gaze was deep as if he were unintentionally looking at Zhou Jing!
