"Cold as ice. If I were Duan Mu Yan, I wouldn't choose such a man. In comparison, Young Master Shen is much better …"

"Of course, Young Master Shen sure is ruthless …" What? I have forgotten about the injury that Young Master Shen left for us sisters … The next time we meet, I must get him to explain himself properly! " As Peony spoke, she withdrew her sword as if to remind Chu Feng of something!

"Isn't Young Noble Shen saving a beauty …?" Can't you be a little more lenient … " Yanzhi angrily said!

"Look at you, still in a hurry. You're joking, even the palace master doesn't care, why do we care …" "Let's go …" As Peony spoke, she pulled the rouge and returned to the Moon Glow Palace.

The autumn wind was blowing, the horses were galloping, and in Xiao Jin Feng's mind, Shangguan Wu Ye's words echoed again and again. Who would Duan Mu Yan go find? Jade Xuan! In his heart, he felt indescribably vexed. A surge of fury rose to the skies and settled itself in Xiao Jin Feng's chest. That stifling feeling made him feel as if he was suffocating! Duan Mu Yan … You can't go to Yuxuan! No.

Without a word, Xiao Lingfeng spurred his horse forward, and after returning to the Xiao family's residence, without even a moment's rest, he entered the palace!

"Your Highness …" Have you heard from my wife? " For the past three days, he had spent this time feeling apprehensive. It wasn't just because Duan Mu Yan's disappearance would bring trouble to the Xiao manor, but also because he felt sorry for Duan Mu Yan!

"Not yet!" Xiao Jin Feng spoke coldly, his gaze as sharp as a blade as he strode towards the mansion's door! Duan Mu Yan … You won't be at Jade Xuan's place... No.

"Your Highness …" Where are you going? "I should at least rest for a while …" Seeing Xiao Jin Feng striding forward with large strides, and yet having no intention of returning to the study room, Zhou Jing said with worry in his heart.

"The palace!" Xiao Xinfeng replied sternly. Upon hearing his reply, Zhou Jing was startled. Just as she was about to speak, Feng Xue suddenly ran in from outside!

"Reporting to Your Highness … A woman outside said... "They say that esteemed wangfei is in her home …" Since Feng Xue had truthfully spoken, Xiao Lingfeng suddenly trembled. His sword-like brows tightly knitted, and he quickly walked towards the entrance of the mansion!

"What's going on?" Zhou Jing looked suspiciously at Feng Xue!

"This servant doesn't know. This servant just came back from outside and saw a woman walking around the mansion. She stepped forward and asked. She then said that the side concubine was at her house. As for whether it was real or fake …" "Then this servant doesn't dare to say …" Feng Xue lowered her eyes and resentfully spoke!

As expected, when Xiao Jingfeng reached the entrance of the mansion, he saw a woman around forty years old, dressed in simple and unadorned clothes waiting there!

"What's your name? It was you who said that the wangfei was in your estate? " Xiao Jin Feng restrained the hostility in his eyes as he said this with a serious tone. His eyes flashed with obvious anticipation!

"I... Everyone calls me Aunt Li, you... "You are …" The woman suspiciously looked at Xiao Lingfeng in front of her and then looked at the Xiao family!

"This is the Qi King. You said that you have the wangfei. Which wangfei are you talking about?" Behind him, Zhou Jing stepped forward and spoke in a light voice.

"That's the Qi Wangfei!" The woman who called herself Aunt Li said resolutely.

After almost two hours of travel, under the guidance of Aunt Li, Xiao Jingfeng and Zhou Jun finally arrived at a thatched cottage on the outskirts of the Imperial City!

"Your Highness! Please... "Esteemed wangfei is inside …" Aunt Li's steps halted as she respectfully spoke! Xiao Jin Feng did not say anything, but just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by Zhou Han!

"Your Highness, this old servant will go in first …" As Zhou Jing spoke, he stepped into the thatched hut. He felt that there was no need to worry. For the Royal Concubine to be here, this was truly unbelievable!

The thatched cottage's furnishings were very simple, and also very clean. The so-called main hall only had a table and two bamboo chairs, while the left side of the wooden door was ajar, and as soon as Xiao Jin Feng entered, he saw Zhou Jing walk out excitedly!

"Your Highness …" 'Royal Concubine, she … ' She's really in there! " Without waiting for Zhou Jing to finish speaking, Xiao Lingfeng had already rushed into the inner room! On the simple bed, a familiar figure was lying there quietly. His pale face was devoid of any trace of blood, his cherry lips were cracked, and his curled eyelashes were slightly trembling, as if he was in a nightmare.

"Paragraph... "Duan Mu Yan …" Xiao Lingfeng took light steps and slowly walked to the front of the bed. His devastatingly beautiful face became even more distinct. His heart, which had been hanging in the air for so long, finally relaxed! Inexplicably, Xiao Lingfeng actually raised his somewhat rough fingers and caressed the messy hair on Duan Mu Yan's face!

Perhaps it was due to her calling, or perhaps it was due to Xiao Lingfeng inadvertently touching her, Duan Mu Yan's brows slightly knitted. Her fingers couldn't help but bend twice as she opened her eyes! Almost at the same time, Xiao Jingfeng hurriedly withdrew his palm, and couldn't help but choke!

When the blurry image gradually became clear, Duan Mu Yan abruptly stood up and looked at the man before her in astonishment. Never did she expect that the first one who opened her eyes would be Xiao Jin Feng?!

Just as Duan Mu Yan was about to speak, he suddenly felt an aching pain on the back of his neck and his hand couldn't help but touch it. In his memory, he should be together with Duan Xingyi; he still remembered him pointing towards a mountain path not too far away and telling his that they had walked out! However, she could not recall what happened next!

"You … Are you alright? " Xiao Lingfeng also did not expect Duan Mu Yan to suddenly wake up. He spoke with a guilty conscience as he subconsciously clenched his fists within his sleeves while patting Duan Mu Yan's face.

"I'm fine …" At this moment, perhaps she should explain herself. However, she really did not know where to start! At this moment, Aunt Li, who was outside, suddenly raised her voice!

"Ah …" Girl … "Ugh …" Princess, you're awake! God bless us! " Aunt Li walked into the inner room as she spoke and spoke excitedly!

"You are …" Duan Mu Yan looked at the woman in front of her with a strange expression and asked suspiciously.

"My name is Aunt Li. I saw you when my wife and I went up the mountain to harvest the mushrooms. If you had gone a bit later, you would have been feeding the wolves!" Aunt Li replied in a serious manner!

"What is going on?" Xiao Jingfeng's face froze. It seemed like the people from the Moon Flower Hall were right, but … He really wanted to ask Duan Mu Yan what happened in the Moon Splendor Hall!

"I don't know what's going on, but the wangfei has been unconscious here for almost three days. If you hadn't called yourself the wangfei when you were unconscious, I wouldn't have known your identity!" Aunt Li's voice was serious as her gaze landed on Duan Mu Yan!

"Three days …" Duan Moyan whispered, her long, shapely eyebrows knitted together!

Yeah …" Princess! No wonder you disappeared for three days. So you were here. "Protect …" Behind him, Steward Zhou was also overjoyed!

His heart couldn't help but tremble. It shouldn't be six days if he and Duan Xingyi were to walk around in the forest for three days and then pass out here for three days, right? Could it be … It was Duan Xingyi!

"Since there's nothing to do, let's return to the residence! Housekeeper Zhou, give this aunt some silver taels … " Xiao Jin Feng suddenly stood up and left the thatched cottage first. Zhou Han obeyed and handed over fifty gold coins to Aunt Li. He then supported Duan Mu Yan and left.

At the moment when she stood at the entrance of the Xiao manor, the corners of Duan Mu Yan's lips curled up in a bitter smile. In the entire Xiao manor, perhaps Qiu Yue was the only one who truly wanted her to return.

"Royal Consort … You're finally back! This servant deserves to die. If it weren't for this servant, how could the Empress have … It's good that you're back... It's good that you're back! "Empress …" "Yue Er, help you …" Qiu Yue's tear-stained eyes looked at Duan Mu Yan, who had a face as white as snow, and she spoke while sobbing. Her small hands carefully supported Duan Mu Yan from Housekeeper Zhou's hands!

A dim light flashed in Duan Mu Yan's eyes as she looked at Xiao Jin Feng's departing background. If it wasn't for the fact that Aunt Li had found the Xiao family, he might still be in the midst of his happiness. He might wish he would never come back.

Duan Mu Yan originally thought that she had safely returned to her residence and this accident ended just like that, but it turned out that it wasn't so. The rumors and slanders about her residence had already spread like wildfire and her chastity had already been demoted to the point of being unbearable! Even so, Duan Muyan did not give any response to this matter. She knew that some things could only get darker the more they were described. Perhaps her silence would cause these rumors to automatically disappear!

The Royal Sage Storage Pavilion.

Three days after Duan Xingyi returned to the palace, Duan Zitong could no longer suppress the anger and doubt in his heart and stepped into the Sage Storage Pavilion! When he saw the figure on the wooden chair, Duan Zitong couldn't help being surprised!

Duan Xingyi quietly leaned back in his chair. His black hair hung down like silk, and the hair on his forehead slipped past his unparalleled beauty. It was illusory and beautiful! This was the first time Duan Zitong had seen his younger brother so tired, and he couldn't help but feel his heart ache. Just as Duan Zitong was about to leave, he heard an icy voice come from behind him!

"Elder sister, why did you leave?" Duan Xingyi slowly opened his eyes. His glass-like eyes sparkled as the corners of his lips curled up. He wore a faint smile on his face! He had known that Duan Zitong would come find him, but this time, he was impressed that the woman in front of him could endure for three days! It seemed that he had improved!

"None... You can't bear to disturb me when you're asleep... But since you're awake, my royal sister has a question to ask you! " Duan Zitong's cherry lips parted as she solemnly spoke!

"Imperial Sis should want to know where Xingyi the Li Palace went to in the past three days, right?" Duan Xingyi stood up leisurely with an extraordinary demeanor and walked over to Duan Zitong's side with a faint smile.

"That's right, you didn't even say anything when you left, royal father was looking for you, and I was the one who helped you explain. Now that you're back, don't you think you should give this sister an explanation?!" Duan Zitong said solemnly, her gaze cold and indifferent!

Speechless, Duan Xingyi slightly pursed his lips and smiled charmingly. His slender and pretty fingers took out an emerald hairpin from his sleeve and slowly raised it in front of Duan Zitong!

"This... "This is …" The moment he saw the hairpin, Duan Zitong's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the hairpin in Duan Xingyi's hand.

"This is the hairpin mufei pawned during our most difficult time. Although mufei didn't tell us, I know that this hairpin was given to her by Imperial Father. She was still reluctant to throw it away, and even before mufei died, she was still thinking about this hairpin …" In fact, Xingyi had long ago sent someone to search for the hairpin's whereabouts, until six days ago. As a result, Xingyi left the palace without telling his imperial sister, precisely because of this hairpin! " Duan Xingyi's thin lips slightly parted, and his clear voice contained a trace of a sorrowful tone!

"Yes …" This is mufei's hairpin... Stars... "You're being considerate …" Duan Zitong's tears rolled down like pearls with their strings cut. When she thought of her pitiful mother, his hatred towards Duan Mu Yan deepened by a few degrees!

Duan Zitong took the hairpin and was about to leave when she seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Duan Xingyi.
